it but memories and some houses far from the centre of the city. Its businesses are gone. The factories, hotels
and palaces are all gone too. Within an hour after the earthquake, the smoke of San Francisco"s fires could be
seen a 160 kilometres away. The sun was red in the dark sky.There was no stopping the fires. There was no
way to organize or communicate.The steel railway tracks were now useless.And the great pipes for carrying
water under the streets had burst. All of the ways man had made to keep the city safe were gone in the thirty
seconds the earth moved.
Out at sea it was calm. No wind came up.Yet from every direction-east, west, north, and south, strong
winds blew upon the unlucky city. Man himself had to make ruins of some of the city"s best buildings so that
they would not be a danger to those in the streets. A list of buildings not destroyes was now only a few
addresses. A list of the brave men and women would fill a library. A list of all those killed will never be made.
Amazing as it may seem, Wednesday night was a quiet night. There were no crowds.The policemen said
nothing; even their horses were quiet. There were no shouts or people doing crazy things. In all those terrible
hours I saw not one woman who cried, not one man who was excited.Before the fires, through the night,
thousands and thousands of people who had lost their homes left for safety. Some were covered in blankets.
Sometimes whole families put everything they owned and could save into wagons. They helped one another
climb the high hills around the city. Never in all San Francisco"s history were her people so kind as on that
terrible night.
B. An earthquake hit San Francisco.
C.The smoke of San Francisco"s fires could be seen a 160 kilometres away.
D. All of the ways were gone in the thirty seconds the earth moved.
B. There"s no smoke without fire.
C. Coming events cast their shadows before them.
D. When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer.
B. Sad.
C. Excited.
D. Indifferent.

that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian
emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was
Mumtazl Mahan: its shortened form Taj Mahan, means "pride of the palace". In the year 1630 this beloved wife
of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided out of his
love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.
He called in the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was
complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahan,
one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from
each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made
of white marble.
The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river
connected by a silver bridge. However his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and
for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.

World Expo (世博会) on December 3.
Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
"I"m very proud of being Chinese," said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated (隶
属) to Beijing Medical University. "The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but
for the people of the whole Chinese nation."
Bidding (申办) for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the
international stage. It"s competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.
The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China"s
development over the next 10 years, said experts.
The World Expo is known as"Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields." It is
usually held every five years and lasts for six months.
The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world. China
is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event"s 151-year history. Not only will it attract more
foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million
visitors to Shanghai.
The World Expo is a great event for different countries to exchange social, economic, cultural and scientific
achievements, and also help to encourage new technology and ideas. The expo was first held in London in
1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became

population after New York City. Los Angeles has several nicknames. It is called the City of Angels because
Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine.
New York is called the Big Apple. And Los Angeles is sometimes called the Big Orange because of the fruit
that grows in that city"s warm climate.
The American television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called the
Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in an area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions
of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is complete without seeing the word "Hollywood" spelled out
in huge letters.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes
from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means
a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.
Many people love Los Angeles for its warm, sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie
stars.

several senses, not just taste.
First, pour the wine into a glass and look at it. Color can tell a lot about the kind of grapes, where the wine
is from and its age. Look at the clarity, thickness and color of the wine.
A white wine might be almost colorless, or it could have a deep golden color．White wines go darker with
age. White wine made from grapes grown in a cool climate is often paler, with a higher amount of acid (酸).
A white wine from grapes grown in a warmer climate is often yellower, with less acid, though there are
exceptions to this rule.
The color of red wine can be purplish red to brick red. Red wines often become paler with age. Red wines
grown in warmer climates often have deeper color than those grown in cooler climates.
Next, turn the glass so that the wine moves around inside. This brings air into the wine, so that it releases
its smell. Smell the wine deeply. A wine"s smell is actually more telling than its taste. To use a wine term, what
can you learn about the wine from its "nose"? Is the wine fruity? Does it smell like oak? Do you smell grass or
maybe honey? Maybe the smell is like butter or a mineral. It may be complex or intense.
Now it is time to taste the wine. Move it around in your mouth. You may recognize some tastes because
you identify them while smelling the wine. You can also consider the wine"s sweetness and its sharpness, or
acidity. You may note the taste of tannin. Tannins are chemicals that are found in the skin and seeds of grapes.
They are also found in tea. Tannins taste bitter and seem to coat your mouth. To make a good wine requires a
balance between sugar, acidity, tannin and alcohol.
Many wine experts can identify the kind of wine without ever seeing the label on the bottle. This is because
they know the qualities of the look, smell and taste of a wine.
B. that is grown in cooler climates
C. that is not good wine
D. that is grown in warmer climates
B. can know whether the wine is made from grapes
C. can know whether the wine has a long or short history
D. can know whether the wine has a good color
B. A wine"s smell can"t give any meaningful information about the wine
C. You can"t smell the wine properly if you don"t turn the glass
D. A wine might not smell like wine
B. how sharp it tastes
C. how bitter it tastes
D. all of the above
B. Two
C. Three
D. Four
week. A small hole drilled into the earth became a passage to freedom for thirty-three trapped miners. They
spent sixty-nine days underground. "Never have people been trapped for so long so deeply," says a doctor at
NASA, the American space agency, which helped in the rescue.
But the chief medical officer for the miners said most are in good enough health to leave the hospital within
a day or so. The first three were released from the hospital Thursday night.
For much of the day the miners relaxed with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. The thirty-two Chileans
and one Bolivian still wore special sunglasses to protect their eyes.
A partial mine collapse (坍塌) on 5th of August trapped them more than half a kilometer underground.
They had to stretch a two-day food supply. For two weeks no one knew if they were alive or dead.
Later, they received supplies (供给) and a video link lowered through drill holes. That link was how Ariel
Ticona watched his wife give birth to their daughter.
The miners have apparently agreed to share the money they earn from selling their story.
They have already received gifts of money and travel offers. Edison Pena has been invited to the New York
City Marathon and to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee. Mr.Pena described how
he ran in the mine tunnels to ease the stress. And he led the miners in singing Elvis songs.
The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos. The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked
about how the experience tested his faith. He said:"I was with God and I was with the devil, they fought me,
but God won. He took me by my best hand, the hand of God."
The last miner up was Luis Urzua. He was the shift leader when his crew became trapped.
Rescuers used a metal cage to pull the miners to safety in less than twenty-four hours-faster than expected.
The rescue capsule was a half-meter wide and known as the Phoenix.
B. Sixty-nine
C. Thirty-three
D. Thirty-two
B. Running to ease stress
C. Watching a video showing his wife giving birth
D. Singing songs
B. he prayed to God
C. he led the miners in singing Elvis songs
D. he was the shift leader
B. People felt surprised to find the miners safe and sound
C. People might have been quite worried about the miners" safety
D. The trapped miners drilled a small hole themselves to escape
B. Miners saved, safe and sound
C. A difficult rescue
D. Miners trapped deep underground
