Suzhou classical gardens are parts of China's precious cultural heritage （遗产）（all the 9 gardens are on the list of World Cultural Heritage） as well as a necessary part of the life of Suzhou citizens, not to mention they are also world-famous tourism resorts （月生地）.In fact, their unique historical and cultural background serves to contribute to their ranking among national parks.The earliest classical gardens in Suzhou can date back to the Song Dynasty. However, the gardens impress their visitors not only with their age-old history but also with their delicate scenes, particularly Canglang Pavilion, Zhuozheng Garden, Lion Grove and Liu Garden, the most famous four that represent different styles of dynasties of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.In 1978, an imitation（仿造物）of a Suzhou classical garden was set up by Chen Congzhou （the author of the book Suzhou Classical Gardens) in the City Museum of Art in New York, US, which was the first time ever to directly introduce Chinese ancient architecture to Westerners.1、parks and gardens are selected as National Parks in the first group.A. 9B. 8C. 20D. 42、Which of the following statements about Suzhou classical gardens is NOT true?A , They are parts of China*s precious cultural heritage.B , They are world-famous tourism resorts.C.

Prices skyrocket when you purchase on Saturdays and Sundays.Ask for a Corner RoomWhen you check in at a hotel, ask if there's a comer room available. These are usually larger and quieter for the same price as ones in the middle of the hall. Upgrades are most often offered at the end of the day when hotels have a better sense of their occupancy.Get the Weekly Car Rental RateIt's a bit puzzling that car rental companies charge more for driving less, but the weekly rate is often cheaper than driving just four days. You may be able to get the weekly rate for just five days, so keep the car a bit longer if you can.Fill Up a Reusable Water BottleBottled water on cruise ships can cost up to $ 4!

Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this temble disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.Recently, the Food and Drug Administration（FDA） in the US, a government agency that's responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy（疗法）that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.The therapy allows scientists to “train" the immune（有免疫力的）cells of sick patients to fight leukemia（白血病）一a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to "hunt down cancer cells.The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patient's leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients J Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant（骨髓移植）was the only option for many leukemia patients.In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy （化疗）to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.But with a recovery rate of around 3% 一 according to a news release published by the FDA - it's hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.“We're entering a new frontier in medical innovation（仓ij新）with the ability to reprogram a patient's own cells to attack a deadly cancer,“ FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release. "New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.,1、What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A.

As far back as the 11th century, “holidays”, especially the major feast days, were times of "celebration and amusement”, as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it.The number of holidays steadily increased during the Middle Ages, until a medieval Englishman would have had the luxury of 40 to 50 days a year off work, depending on where he lived, in addition to a free day on Sundays.During the Reformation, Henry VIII abolished most of the holidays partly because of the Protestant （新教徒的）suspicionof saints, but more practically, because, according to historian Eamon Duffy, “A large number of holidays were making the people poor by limiting agriculture." The people took a different view and organized a protest march-the Pilgrimage of Grace一partly to protect their days off.Though at first the religious and festive senses of holiday were combined, the word gradually came to be used for any kind of relaxing break from work. As the word was drawing away from a religious society, the number of authorized holidays was reduced, until by 1834 most workers had only four official days off a year, in addition to Sundays. Many factory workers amplified this time by staying home on "Saint Monday, to recover from what they had gotten up to the day before.By the late 19th century, employers were compromising and offering half-day Saturdays, the beginning of the “weekend”， a term first used in 1879. In 1908, an innovative mill in New England gave its employees all of Saturday off, and the practice spread widely during the Great Depression as a way to keep employment up. It took 400 years, but finally workers could enjoy as many holidays as they had in the 15th century.1、What was the word “holiday" originally intended for?A. Economy. B. Religion.C. Entertainment. D. Politics.2、Whafs the main reason for Henry VIII's ending most holidays according to Eamon Duffy?A. His people required a thorough reformation.B. He didn't believe in God and the saints.C. People took no interest in the agriculture due to them.D. Too many holidays stood in the way of the agriculture.3、Which can best replace the underlined word "amplified“ in paragraph 4?A. lengthened B. wastedC. shortened D. guaranteed4、When did most employees get the whole Saturday off?A. In 1879. B. In 1908.C. During the Great Depression. D. In the 15th century.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 45).
