2、. The dreadful earthquake destroyed the city that had grown up when men discovered gold in the deserts of California. But today the streets of San Francisco stretch over more than forty steep hills, rising like huge cliffs above the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.The best way to see this splendid

3、city, where Spanish people were the first to make their homes, is to take one of the old cable cars which run along the nine main avenues. Fares are cheap; they have not risen, Im told, for almost a hundred years.You leave the palm trees in Union Square - the heart of San Francisco - and from the sh

4、op signs and the faces around you, you will notice that in the city live people from many nations - Austrians, Italians, Chinese and others - giving each part a special character. More Chinese live in China Town than in any other part of the world outside China. Here, with Chinese restaurants, Chine

5、se post-boxes, and even odd telephone-boxes that look like pagodas, it is easy to feel you are in China itself.Fishermans Wharf, a place all foreigners want to see, is at the end of the ride.

9、s would be reconsidered every two years in light of trends in the housing market. In addition, and for the first time in the 35-year history of the program, those lower-priced apartments would have to be included in each building and could not be built elsewhere in the city. There would be a cap on

10、the size of the tax break given for market-rate apartments, to limit the degree to which the program might be said to subsidize gentrification. The revised program would also include a $400 million trust fund for developing low and moderately priced housing, especially in the citys 15 poorest neighb

11、orhoods in the city. Housing officials estimate that the program, which is said to have fueled the construction of 110,000 units since 1971, will generate 20,000 new units of lower-priced housing over the first 10 years. The apartments, for rent or sale, will be set aside for low-income New Yorkers.

12、 Passage 3Spare That SpiderWhy, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human raceInsects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and

13、 herds, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animalsWe owe a lot to the birds and beasts who eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spidersMoreover, unlike some of the other insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us

14、or our belongings.Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly  related to themOne can tell the difference almost at a glance, for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.How many spiders are engaged in this work on our behalf? One authority on spiders

17、try.Passage 4就像北京歡慶贏得2021年奧運(yùn)會(huì)的主辦權(quán)一樣，當(dāng)上海挫敗其競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手取得2021年世博會(huì)的主辦權(quán)時(shí)，成千上萬的中國(guó)人沸騰了，歡呼聲、歌聲匯成一片，人們的臉上掛滿了喜悅的淚水。申辦世博會(huì)的成功又為上海增添了新的光榮，有可能使中國(guó)這座繁華的商業(yè)中心再過10年之后成為巨大型都市。世博會(huì)是一個(gè)促進(jìn)世界各國(guó)交流和開展的全球性的大型非商業(yè)性活動(dòng)，被譽(yù)為經(jīng)濟(jì)和科技領(lǐng)域的“奧運(yùn)會(huì)。首屆世博會(huì)于1851年在倫敦舉行，但從未在開展中國(guó)家舉辦過。上海已在實(shí)施重大的擴(kuò)建方案，由此會(huì)興起一輪建筑熱潮，其中包括世界上最高的建筑和世界上第一條商業(yè)化的磁懸浮列車系統(tǒng)。分析人士說，新的擴(kuò)建方案和預(yù)計(jì)到達(dá)

18、的7000萬游客將使房地產(chǎn)業(yè)和旅游業(yè)前景看好。這一國(guó)際性的盛會(huì)將促進(jìn)中國(guó)的對(duì)外開放并加速其現(xiàn)代化進(jìn)程。有了中國(guó)政府和全國(guó)人民的大力支持，上海有信心、有能力使2021年世博會(huì)取得圓滿成功。Passage 5 人類有史以來不斷改變自然環(huán)境，以改善自己的生活方式。人類接著技術(shù)工具改變了地球的許多自然特征。他將林地和草原改造成農(nóng)田，使江河變成湖泊和水庫(kù)，用于灌溉和水力發(fā)電。人類還通過給沼澤地排水、鑿石劈山、修建公路和鐵路等方式，改變了地球的面貌。然而，人類改變自然環(huán)境并不總是帶來有益的結(jié)果。今天，空氣和水的污染給地球的健康造成了越來越嚴(yán)重的危害。每天機(jī)動(dòng)車輛的排氣管排出成千上萬噸廢氣。工廠釋放的煙霧污

19、染了工業(yè)區(qū)和周圍鄉(xiāng)村的空氣。水污染同樣有害， 海洋的整個(gè)生態(tài)平衡正在受到破壞，工業(yè)廢水已使許多河流的生物死亡。現(xiàn)在，環(huán)境保護(hù)比以往任何時(shí)候都更為緊迫。我們知道，對(duì)環(huán)境的大規(guī)模破壞已經(jīng)帶來負(fù)面影響，甚至咄咄逼人地威脅到人類的生存。對(duì)這些問題漠不關(guān)心將意味著自我消滅。Passage 6中國(guó)2021年上海世界博覽會(huì)參觀須知2010年04月18日上海世博會(huì)事務(wù)協(xié)調(diào)局 二O一O年四月十八日公布 歡送參觀中國(guó)2021年上海世界博覽會(huì)下稱“上海世博會(huì)。為了保護(hù)參觀者的合法權(quán)益，維護(hù)平安、有序的參觀環(huán)境，上海世博會(huì)組織者即上海世博會(huì)事務(wù)協(xié)調(diào)局，下稱“組織者制定本須知。 第一條 適用對(duì)象 所有上海世博會(huì)參觀者，
