Most students like to have boys and girls on the same baseball team. Many boys and girls dress alike in school. They wear blue jeans and sport shirts. Some have long hair and some have short hair.

National parks refer to the famous city parks and gardens. Suzhou classical gardens are parts of Chinas 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 (胜地). 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. 9. _parks and gardens are selected as National Parks in the first group.

TokyoDOn November 14, 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi while trying to settle a line(边界) problem between Mississippi and Louisiana. Being an expert outdoorsman, he liked to hunt large animals. However, his hunt was going poorly that days, and he couldnt seem to find anything worthy of firing his gun. His followers, trying to help him, caught a Louisiana black baby bear for the President to shoot, but he refused. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he spared the life of the baby bear and set it free. A famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star, Mr. Clifford Berryman, drew a cartoon titled, Drawing the Line in Mississippi, which used the story of the President refusing to shoot the bear. The cartoon in the Washington Star showed Teddy Roosevelt, gun in hand, with his back turned on a pretty baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, got the idea from the cartoon and make a toy bear. Planning to use it only as a display, he placed the bear in his toy store window, and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newspaper. To Michtoms surprise, he was surrounded by customers eager to buy it. He asked for and received President Roosevelts permission to use his name for the bears that he and his wife made, and the Teddy Bear was born! Michtom soon made Teddy bears by the thousands. The money from selling Teddy bears made him, in 1903, form the Ideal Toy pany. 13. Why did Theodore Roosevelt e to Mississippi? A. To go on a hunting trip. B. To look for large animals. C.

EOne of the biggest social issues in Japan is the increasingly low marriage rate among young people and the small birth rate, which led to an aging and eventually shrinking（萎缩） population. Most young Japanese women simply dont seem interested in having many children.Now what began in Japan is happening globally. As David Brooks wrote, birth rate is being smaller in much of the world, from Iran 1.7 births rate per woman to Russian, where low birth rates connected with high death rates mean the population is already shrinking. And this includes US, which has long had higher birth rates than most developed nations. Aging countries will face the burden of caring for large elderly populations without a larger resource of young workers. Its true that global aging is going to present some major challenges. Who will take care of the elderly? Will an older world be less active and slower to change and adapt? Its all true. Sometimes I worry about a ing generational war over resources, just as I worry about how I will take care of my own parents in their old age, just as I worry about who might take care of me.But heres the thing: an older world may have less pressure on the environment. As we all know, the environment is the real victim of overpopulation.So maybe a world that grows slower and grows older will put less pressure on the environment, and buy us a few more years to ensure our energy use, along with our birthrates, reaches a sustainable（可持续的）level. After all, were supposed to get smarter as we got older. Hopefully that holds true for the planet as well.17. The population issue in Japan was mentioned to _.A. show young peoples preference to marriageB. introduce the topic of global birth rate being smallerC. indicate the deeper cause of Japans depressionD. emphasize the revolution of Japanese women 18. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to David Brook?A. The birth rates all over the world are being smaller.B. The most developed countries have higher death rates.C. America is the only developed country with higher birth rate.D. Birth rates being smaller means a great risk to aging countries.19. Which will be caused by low birth rates according to the passage?A. Aging society. B. Environmental problems.C. High death rates.D. Low employment rates.20. Whats the authors attitude to the worldwide birth rates being smaller? A. Anxious.B. Disappointed.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you having trouble concentrating when youre reading a book or listening to a lecture?
