Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)‎ A) Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)‎ Traditionally, the President is the highest-pad public employee. A salary of $ 400,000, along with other benefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.‎ The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。‎ From Obama’s tax returns , we can see that the President and first lady President’s two books Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope(《无畏的梦想》). The two books, published in 1995 and 2006,are very popular and have been on the bestseller(畅销书)list for a long time.‎ The Obama’s income is down from 2007,when they made ＄4.2 million. However, that is still far more than former US President George Bush earned, who reported a total of ＄719,274 for his final year. The Obamas’ income also greatly exceeded(超出)that of Biden, who reported a family income of ＄2269,256.That’s about a tenth of what the Obamas earned. As Vice-president, Biden earns a salary of ＄220,000.US families earn an average income of about ＄50,000.‎ The Obama’s tax returns also show that together, the President and his wife paid about ＄933,000 in taxes. They gave $172,050 —nearly 6.5 percent of their earnings —to different charity groups. In the US, if a person gives his money to churches and non-profit(非盈利)organizations, the law reduces his or her taxes. This is one reason why rich people in the US like to give money to charity.‎ ‎74. _______had the highest income in 2008.‎ A. Obama B. Biden C. Bush D. George ‎75. How much did Obama and his wife earn in 2008?‎ A. $400,000 B. $2,660,000 C. $4,200,000 D. $719,274‎ ‎76. In the US, which people have to file tax returns?‎ A. Everybody ‎ B. Wealthy people ‎ C. Government officials ‎ D. People whose incomes are over a certain amount.‎ ‎77. The Obamas have given_______ percent of their earnings to charity.‎ A. 10 B. 6.5 C. 9.7 D. 4.3‎ ‎78.Why should the tax returns of government officials be open to the public?.‎ A. Because it can help to prevent corruption B. Because it can make government officials well-known to the public.‎ C. Because it can help government officials to get more money.‎ D. Because the government wants them to pay more taxes to the public.‎ ‎79. According to the law, if a rich man gives his money to charity,_______.‎ A. he will be praised by the people ‎ B. he will pay fewer taxes ‎ C. he will be free of taxes ‎ D. he will get some extra money from the government.‎ B) Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语，完成短文)：(12分)‎ For many years the United States and the other countries used gold and silver as money. Paper ‎ money was used to stand for the holdings(储备)of both gold and silver. The value of silver was ‎ limited to that of gold. Fifteen ounces(盎司) of silver had the same value of one ounce of gold. ‎ These values did not change until after 1860 when mines(银矿)in the west of the United States ‎ began to 80 large amounts of silver. This extra amount of silver caused the price of silver to ‎ ‎81 . Then fifteen ounces of silver would no longer buy one ounce of gold. In 1871 Germany ‎ declared(宣布)that it would not support its paper money with silver any more. Instead, it would use only gold. Other countries of Europe quickly 82 the same. The United States passed a law in 1973 that prevented the government from using silver as money. Western silver producers protested(抗议)loudly and put much pressure on the 83 makers. Five years later a new law was 84 . It said that the government must buy four and half million ounces of silver each month. The new law increased the amount of silver money. The country had two kinds of quite different views on the issue(发行)silver money. Businessmen, bankers and other rich men wanted to 85 the use of silver money because it made the dollar less valuable. But farmers, labourers and the others who owned the money not only wanted silver money but also wanted an unlimited supply of it.‎ ‎80. A. produce B. find C. search D. dig ‎81. A. rise B. lift C. fall D. set ‎82. A. did B. took C. made D. acted.‎ ‎83. A. law B. money C. gold D. silver ‎84. A. refused B. accepted C. planned D. passed ‎85. A. end B. continue C. protect D. allow C) Read the passage and fill the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) (14分)‎ The Empire State Building(帝国大厦) has held a special place in the hearts of Americans since it was completed in 1931.It r___86__ more than 443 metres into the sky. For more than forty years , it was the tallest building in the world.‎ It has one hundred and three levels and six thousand five hundred windows. Visitors can ride in one of seventy-three elevators that take them from the b__87__ to very near the top of the building. Some of these elevators are very fast, reaching the eightieth floor in only forty-five seconds.‎ The heads of government of almost every n__88___ in the world have visited the Empire State Building. These important people are just a few of million who have ridden to the observation area near the top of the building each year. From there, visitors can see almost all of New York City. They can see the view a __89__ the Hudson River into the state of New Jersey. They can see ships in the East River.‎ Even if you have never visited New York, there is a good chance for you to see the Empire State Building. It has been photographed c __90__ times. It has even played parts in movies. One is about a huge ape(猿)that escapes and climbs to the top of the building. The movie is “King Kong”(金刚). It was made in 1933. The Empire State Building also appeared in the love story “An Affair to Remember”(金玉盟).Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr play a man and a woman who meet and fall in love on a ship. They are looking at the New York City skyline from the ship when they plan a future ‎ meeting. ‎ More recently, in “Sleepless in Seattle(西雅图未眠夜)”，two people in love agree to meet at the Observation Deck on Valentine’s Day(情人节). B__91__ do arrive, but one is a little later. They almost m __92___each other.‎ In the early nineteen seventies, the Empire State Building lost its place as the tallest building in New York. People in the city then had the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center to look up to. Tragically that all changed on the morning of September 11,2001. Terrorists hijacked(劫持) passenger airplanes into the Twin Towers and destroyed them. The Empire State Building again has become the city’s tallest building. ‎ D)Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)‎ I’ve always wanted to try rock climbing, but never had time or money for it. But I’ve discovered ‎ a way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting ‎ way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don’t ‎ climb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms, ‎ schools and camps have one.‎ You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually not ‎ expensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is ‎ one reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I’m always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can’t stop grinning. I did it! ‎ Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.‎ Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.‎ ‎93.

In Tokyo, there are always too many people in the places. There are also too many cars.

There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and usually none of them is empty at night.‎ During the day, most people go to work by train. Six million train tickets are sold every week in Tokyo. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours it is not enough at all. Although trains are always crowded, they are very good in many ways.

And then, in 1975, Steven Jobs began making a new type of computer. Along with his friend Stephen Woziak, he designed the Apple I computer in his bedroom and in fact built it in his garage.
