villages high in the walls of canyons in Colorado,where 600 cliff dwellings are now part of the Mesa Verde National Park.Visitors can stand at the top of the mesas and look into the dwellings almost hidden in openings of the rock walls.The Puebloan people cut small steps into the rock,which connected buildings containing hundreds of rooms.The rock walls have protected the buildings from severe weather in the area;therefore,they remain mostly unchanged in the hundreds of years since they were built.Our final man-made wonder is in the northwestern city of Seattle,Washington.The Space Needle was built as the central structure for the 1962 Worlds Fair.The 184-meter-tall structure was designed by Edward Carlson,which has a wide base on the ground,with its middle narrow and a large ring-like structure on top.The structure was meant to look like a flying saucer,a vehicle that was popular in science fiction space travel stories.The saucer includes an observation area and eating place.The restaurant slowly turns to provide visitors with a 360 degree view of Seattle.The Space Needle,only costing about$4,500,000,was not very costly,and was designed and completed in about a year and opened on the first day of the Worlds Fair.Today,the Space Needle is the most popular place for visitors to Seattle.And it remains the internationally known symbol of the city.56.What the passage

ring-like structure on top.D.It remains the internationally known symbol of the US.59.What is the passage mainly about?A.Visiting the US B.Man-made wonders in the US C.Wonders in the world D.Famous places in the US B word 6/12 People in the United States honor their parents with two special days:Mothers Day,on the second Sunday in May,and Fathers Day,on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways.On Mothers Day people wear carnations.A red one stands for a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor parents.It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves.On these days,families get together at home and in restaurants.They often have outdoor BBQs for Fathers Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.It is not the value of the gift that is important,but it is“the thought that counts.Greeting card stores,florists,candy makers,bakeries,telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.60.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A.Parents bring up children.B.Parents give love and care to children.C.Parents pass away before children grow up.D.Parents educate children to be good persons.61.What do you know from the passage?A.Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May.B.Not all the children respect their parents.C.Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.D.Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.62.Which do you think is right about“carnation?A.It only has two kinds of color.B.It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mothers Day or Fathers Day.C.People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in June.D.Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.63.What do you think“florists do?A.They sell flowers.B.They made bread.C.They offer enough room for having family parties.D.They sell special clothes for Mothers Day and Fathers Day.C To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence?The answer to this question may lie in word 7/12 a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet.If you ran into Smarter Child online,you would be surprised at this kids huge memory.It can recite many facts.For example,Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US.However,if you ask Smarter Child other questions,you get strange answers.A question about Smarter Childs age returns.“One year,11 days,16 hours,7 minutes,and 47 seconds!Asking where he lives，you get,“In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank.To answer questions about spelling,for instance,Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online.For the weather,he visits intellicast .Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet,an artificial being with the combined knowledge of,say,Albert Einstein,Richard Nixon and Britney Spears can be born.However,if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A.I.(Artificial Intelligence),he must overcome two problems.The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways.Thats why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather.It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process information more exactly and faster than any human,he lacks common sensea basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child.64.From the text we can infer that intellicast is a website.A.which is specially designed to help Smarter Child B.where we people can find Smarter Child C.where weather forecasts are made D.which is about artificial intelligence 65.It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to.A.tell us how to spell a difficult word B.tell us how the American government is run C.provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare D.learn the ability to tell right behaviors from wrong ones 66.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information.B.A.I.(Artificial Intelligence)is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer.C.Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own.D.We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein,Nixon and Spears.67.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.A New Web Child B.Smarter Child C.The Future of Internet D.Intelligence Development D YOUR mom might cook a bowl of noodle for you on birthday.But in the US,a mom makes a cupcake for her children on their birthday.word 8/12 Cupcakes are small,round cakes topped with frosting.It has been an American tradition that moms bring cupcakes to celebrate their childs birthday.But recently some doctors have called for this to be banned.They believe cupcakes contribute to child obesity.Despite their good intentions,however,some people believe that experts are interfering with American
