M:Kathy,have you ever been to Suzhou in East China's Jiangsu Province?
W:Not yet.But I know Suzhou is known as a garden city.
M:Right.The earliest gardens of Suzhou belonged to the King of Wu.They date far back to the Spring and Autumn Period of the 6th century BC.And more gardens were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
W:Yes.The number of gardens in Suzhou increased to over 200 from the 16th to the 18th century.Dozens of them have survived to the present and are kept in a good state of preservation.
M:These gardens often have to be constructed in a limited amount of space but still enable one to feel the charm of mountains,forests and springs.Walkways and bridges divide the whole area into smaller gardens within gardens and by the technique of“borrowing views”,scenery is borrowed both from outside and inside the garden.
W:Exactly.Among the classical gardens of Suzhou,I like the Humble Administrator's Garden most,or in Chinese Zhuozheng Yuan.It is the largest private garden in Suzhou,as well as one of the four most famous classical gardens in China.
M:How I wish I could have such a garden of my own!
W:I am afraid this is a dream of many,but one that only very few can realize.Still,we can go to Suzhou to have a look,even though we can't own it.

Another interesting building is the Great Church.It is also in European design.It looks like a tall tower.
The Grand Hotel is a landmark of Taipei.It looks like a big palace.We can see many dragons around it.There are over 200,000 dragons around the building!

A
More men are finding their calling as nurses.
A new study from the United States Census Bureau reports the number of male nurses has doubled since the 1970s.Back then,about 2.7 percent of registered nurses were men.The new study,which tracked data through 2011,finds that men now make up 9.6 percent of all employed nurses in the United States-about 330,000 men in total.
Recent years of shortages have led to increased efforts,according to the report,which included recruiting men into the field.
Men,in fact,had been largely kept out of nursing in past decades because nursing schools often refused to admit men.The Supreme Court ruled that practice unconstitutional in 1981 after a case involving a state nursing school.
“The relatively high wages and expanding job opportunities make this field attractive,offering stability even during recessions(经济衰退),”wrote the report's author,Liana Christin Landivar of the US Census Bureau.“And because of
high demand,nursing has low unemployment rates compared to other fields.”
Men were found to be more likely to become nurse anesthetists(麻醉师),which is the highest paid nursing occupation,and were found least likely to become licensed practical or licensed vocational nurses,the lowest paid types of nursing.
Nurse anesthetists are required to get graduate education,and are certified to give anesthetists and monitor patients recovering from
anesthesia.Licensed practical
and licensed vocational nurses provide patients with care and may work under the supervision(监督)of a registered nurse. Registered nurses assess patients' health problems and needs, develop and carry out nursing care plans,maintain medical records,and administer care.
For all types of nursing,men earned,on average,$ 60,700 per year,while women earned $51,100 per year.“Even among men and women in the same nursing occupations,men outearn women,”wrote Landivar.
【解题导语】 本文为说明文,主要介绍了美国男护士的就业情况。

A.helping people to get used to
B.ordering people to learn
C.asking people to join in
D.inspiring people to devote
答案 C [词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“Recent years of shortages have led to increased efforts”和该词后面的“men into the field”可推知C项正确。]
23.According to the text,male nurses are more likely to________.
A.become licensed practical nurses
B.devote themselves to work
C.graduate from nursing schools
D.get the highest paid nursing occupation
答案 D [细节理解题。由第五段第一句中的“Men were found to be more likely to become nurse anesthetists(麻醉师),which is the highest paid nursing occupation”可知答案为D。]

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils(灾祸).
People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye.
Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.
【解题导语】 本文从多方面介绍了颜色对人们的影响和作用,希望我们在生活中能利用这种影响,使生活更加美好。
25.Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their________.
A.cultural values
B.commercial purposes
C.personal experiences
D.physical reactions to the color
答案 A [细节理解题。由文章第二段The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.和...for Muslims, it means heaven.可知,穆斯林把绿色当做a symbol of heaven更多地是因为cultural values。注意:句中有as well as时更多地是强调as well as前面的内容,因此选择A项。]
26.Why will many commercial websites have a red“Buy Now” button?
A.To relax people physically.
B.To increase people's appetites.
C.To encourage people to make a purchase.
D.To cause a person's blood pressure to rise.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知,红色能使人血压升高,增强食欲,而商业网站上的红色“Buy Now”按钮的目的根本不是为使人身体得到放松,也不是增强人的食欲和使人血压升高。商业网站的目的就是为了自己的商业利益,因此,按钮的目的是为了让人购买商品,选择C项。]
27.Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?
A.Colors and Human Beings
B.The Cultural Meaning of Color
C.Colors and Personal Experiences
D.The Meaning and Function of Color
答案 D [主旨大意题。通观全文,文章叙述了颜色cultural values,personal experiences,bodies' reactions等方面的作用和影响,作为文章的题目A项过于宽泛,B项只提及Cultural Meaning,C项只提及Personal Experiences又不够全面。D项涉及颜色的Meaning 和 Function两方面,能概括全文大意,因此选择D项。]
C
June 26, 2000—the Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15year task aimed at drawing the genetic(遗传的) map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed.

Owls (猫头鹰) are mysterious creatures.We often think of them as scary.They sometimes live in abandoned houses.They fly without a sound through backyards at night.In stories, they appear with ghosts.When we hear an owl's familiar “whooo...whooo...”,it can make us feel very frightened.Owls fly silently, without even a whisper of wings moving through the air.It's as though they appear out of nowhere—like ghosts on wings.Owls fly and hunt on the darkest of nights.An owl's night habits make it unique.Do these creatures of the night possess strange powers?
Owls possess unusual powers of sight and hearing, but they are not supernatural powers.They are natural adaptations that let them live most efficiently (高效地) at night.There is no reason to fear owls.Their habits make them helpful to humans.By hunting mice and other rodents (啮齿目动物),owls help to keep a natural balance between plant and animal life.Without owls, there would be a large number of rodents in farmers' fields and storage barns.
More than 100 species of owls occupy a variety of habitats around the world.A few oceanic islands and the Antarctic have no owls.The world's owls come in large, medium, small, smaller, and smallest.For example, the Eurasian eagle owl—one of the largest—has a body that is two to three feet long, with a wingspan (翼展) of up to five and onehalf feet.The North American elf owl (the world's smallest owl) is five to six inches long and has a wingspan that measures slightly more than one foot.
Most male and female owls of the same species look alike, although females are usually larger.In some species, the female's colors are like those of the trees or grass where she makes her nest.
Baby owls, called chicks, stay with their parents until they are about three months old.They soon find their own hunting areas, where they may stay for the rest of their lives.Some owls can live 20 years or more.
【解题导语】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了猫头鹰的生活习性及不同种类的特征。

C.have unusual powers
D.help guard backyards
答案 A [细节理解题。由第二段中的owls help to keep a natural balance of plant and animal life可知,猫头鹰有利于保持生态平衡。]
34.What is special about owls?
A.They fly silently.
B.They are night hunters.
C.They possess supernatural powers.
D.They can be found around the world.
答案 B [细节理解题。由第一段中的Owls fly and hunt on the darkest of nights.An owl's night habits make it unique可知答案。]

B.sizes
C.species
D.wingspans

My Third Year in Senior High School
Senior 3 is one of the most important years of my life because it will have a great influence on my future.Everybody wants to get the best possible grades at school but how can this be achieved?
Firstly, I plan to keep a balance between study and relaxation.We are not a machine and if we fail to relax, eventually we will suffer from stress, which will harm our study.
Secondly, I am going to develop efficient study habits, such as taking notes properly, revising every day, planning the revision schedule and not leaving things until the last minute.
I think Senior 3 is tough but it can also be rewarding if we use our time effectively.Time is money so we use it wisely.
