二、 Reading comprehension(2×10=20) Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.参考答案见试卷末尾

1、(1)America's most famous woman is the Goddess of Liberty, i e. the Statue of Liberty. It was first conceived in 1865 by Edouard de Laboulaye and designed by another Frenchman, Frederic Bartholdi. They wanted to honor liberty and friendship.It was hoped that the monument would be completed by 1876 when America celebrated its centennial. Fund raising and the manufacture of the Statue in France went slowly. It was 1885 when the 214 crates containing the Statue reached New York.Americans were internally embarrassed for they had not raised the money to pay for the erection of the base. Fund raising by popular subscription(捐款) was behind schedule, One fund raising method used was to have popular Americans write letters which were then auctioned off (拍卖). Mark Twain wrote a "tongue-in-cheek” letter suggesting that Miss Liberty didn't deserve a statue.The base and statue, together 272 feet tail, were completed in 1886. From a technical standpoint, the Statue is a marvel. The inner structure was designed by the French engineer, Alexandre Eiffel. His design for the stressed copper skin of the Statue anticipated (超前) many of the principles utilized in modem aircraft.After a century, the monument began to show signs of getting worse in conditions. Just as Frenchmen had created the Statue, so it was with restoration.A Frenchman noted the decay, and both French and American craftsmen and contributions brought about the renewal of the Statue in time for its centennial.

6、(2)The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970s was the enthusiasm for refurnishing older building. Obviously, this was not an entirety new phenomenon. What is new is the whole scale in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation (更新). A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial feasibility in the 1960s, but it was in the 1970s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation (贬值) , as well as growing interest in ecology issues,s that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston's eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1742. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately nearby, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thompson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional office, and simply walking.Butler Square, in Minneapolis, serves as an example of major changes in its complex of offices commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights.San Antonio, Texas, offers a big object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers (推土机) , San Antonio's leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which runs through the business district. The main idea of the passage is___.

A.during the 1970s, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modem use

B.recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers

C.the San Antonio example shows that bulldozers are not the right way to fight urban decay
