America’s most famous woman is the Goddess of Liberty, i.e.the Statue of Liberty. It was first conceived in 1865 by Edouard de Laboulaye and designed by another Frenchman, Frederic Bartoldi. They wanted to honor liberty and friendship.

It was hoped that the monument would be completed by 1876 when America celebrated its centennial. Fund raising and the manufacture of the Statue in France went slowly. It was 1885 when the 214 crates containing the Statue reached New York.

Americans were initially embarrassed for they had not raised the money to pay for the erection of the base. Fund raising by popular subscription (捐款)was behind schedule. One fund raising method used was to have popular Americans write letters  which were then auctioned off (拍卖). Mark Twain wrote a “tongue-in-cheek” letter suggesting that Miss Liberty didn’t deserve a statue.

The base and statue, together 272 feet tall, were completed in 1886. From a technical standpoint, the Statue is a marvel. The inner structure was designed by the French engineer, Alexandre Eiffel. His design for the stressed copper skin of the Statue anticipated (超前)many of the principles utilized in modern aircraft.

After a century，the monument began to show signs of getting worse in conditions. Just as Frenchmen had created the Statue, so it was with restoration.

A Frenchman noted the decay, and both French and American craftsmen and contributions brought about the renewal of the Statue in time for its centennial. Liberty is still popular in France and the United States.

16.How many years passed away from the conception of the Statue to its completion?

A. 11 years. B. 16 years. C. 20 years. D. 21 years.

17. Mark Twain’s letter about the Statue of Liberty _____.

A. represented a serious question as to the need for the Statue

B. was a put-on by a humorist

C. raised a great deal of money

D. played a joke on the French

18. French engineering genius is seen in the Statue of Liberty in ______.

A. design of its base

B. design of its stressed covering

C. locating the Statue without disturbing harbor traffic

D. keeping the flame lit

19. The Statue of Liberty’s development embarrassed Americans in the 1880s because ______.

A. it took them so long to raise the money

B. it was clear the Statue was mislocated

C. its design was tasteless

D. they felt it a waste of money to build the Statue

20. Among the following statements, which one is NOT true concerning the restoration of the Statue?

A. The restoration took place a century later after its completion.

B. It was a Frenchman who noticed the need of the restoration.

C. Frenchmen built and restored the Statue for the Americans.

D. Both French and American people worked together to restore the Statue.

The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970s was the enthusiasm for refurnishing older building. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the whole scale in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation (更 新).A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco，proved their financial feasibility in the 1960s, but it was in the 1970s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation (贬值)，as well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston’s eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1742. This section hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately nearby, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thompson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional office, and simply walking.

Butler Square, in Minneapolis, serves as an example of major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights.

San Antonio, Texas, offers a big object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers (推土机)，San Antonio’s leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which runs through the business district.

21. The main idea of the passage is____.

A. during the 1970s，old buildings in many cities were recycled for modem use

B. recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers

C. the San Antonio example shows that bulldozers are not the right way to fight urban decay

D. strong government support has made adaptive rehabilitation a reality in Boston

22. According to the passage, Benjamin Thompson was the designer of a project in_____.

A. Boston B. San Francisco

C. Minneapolis D. San Antonio

23. The space at Quincy Market is now used as_.

A. Boston’s new city hall B. sports and recreational facilities

C. commercial and industrial warehouses D. restaurants,offices，and stores

24. What is the author’s opinion of the San Antonio’s project?

A. It is clearly the best of the projects discussed.

B. It is a good project that could be copied by other cities.

C. The extensive use of bulldozers made the project unnecessarily costly.

D. The work done on the river was more important than the work done on the buildings.

25. The passage states that the San Antonio project differed from those in Boston and Minneapolis in that______.

A. it consisted primarily of new buildings

B. it occurred in the business district

C. it involved the environment as well as buildings

D. it was designed to combat urban decay

71. There are many types of accommodations. The least expensive type of accommodation is hostel. Hostels are dorm-like accommodations with shared bathroom facilities, and possibly, a shared kitchen. Originally they are established only for younger travelers. The bed & breakfast concept, also known as B&B, is usually family homes with one or more guest rooms and generally with a shared bathroom. B&Bs offer a unique environment, but they do not offer the variety of activities and guest services found in other types of accommodations. A motel is often a one or two storied building that mainly offers service for motorists. Cars are parked in front of the building. Hotels come in all shapes and sizes and guest services and activities vary widely from one hotel to another.

72. The application of the Internet over the past few decades has been transforming the way that products and services are distributed to customers. Tourism and hospitality are of no exception. Tourists have started to purchase airline tickets and make hotel or tour reservations online. Aside from desktop computers, mobile devices such as smart-phones and tablets are heavily used by travelers to book travel-related products and services. Under the traditional distribution model, travelers rely heavily on traditional travel agencies, to buy the products provided by suppliers (e.g. hotels and airlines) via global distribution systems (GDS). Using the Internet, travelers can now directly get travel information and make their bookings via the websites of suppliers.
