Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday. Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.
Rooms for the night in private homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have bee popular in the United States. Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms, others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do.
Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home.

In the past several years, the Great Lawn has hosted some of the most popular musical events in American history.
Apart from hosting the New York Philharmonic (交响乐团) and the Metropolitan Opera for two free performances every summer, the area just north of Belvedere castle has been also the stage for acts. The 1996 opening ceremon y of “Pocahontas”, a Disney movie was even held here.
In fact the Great Lawn holds the reputation of being the single largest design characteristic but that was not part of the original Greenland Plan, as drawn up by Olmsted and Vaux. At that time it was the site of the Croton Reservoir (水库), which was built in 1842 and demanded that its designers should also build a park around its less-beautiful rectangular (长方形的) shape. In 1917the construction of the reservoir was forced to stop by another construction of a new water tunnel. The Croton Reservoir also brought about much discussion about its future use as unknown as Homvervilles, which are the villages where those homeless people lived. Finally, it was planted with grass and became the Great Lawn. A debate following it arose over the construction of ball fields. As usual the debate centered around the park being a natural refuge (避难所) from the urban areas surrounding it versus its use as a playground for those who didn’t have access to other facilities. Finally the city equipped eight permanent backstops in the 1950s.
However, the lawn had never been designed with this amount of use in
mind. By the 1980s the Great Lawn could just easily have been described as the Great Dustbowl. Overuse destroyed the grass thoroughly. Finally the entire space was renewed to a large extent in the mid-90s and has been rigidly overseen ever since to prevent the same abuses from taking place. The one thing that has not changed, and hopefully never will, is the magic of hearing a live symphony (交响乐) orchestra (管弦乐队) while staring up happily into the depths of a summer night’s sky.
6. The passage in fact is _____________.
A. a news
B. an advertisement
C. an instruction
D. a paper
7. Every summer the Great Lawn holds _________________.
A. several concerts
B. two free performances
C. two acts
D. an opening ceremony
8. We learn from the third paragraph that ___________________.
A. the Great Lawn is the second largest design
B. the site was first planed to build the Croton Reservoir
C. the city equipped eighty permanent backstops in the 1950s
D. during the Great Depression, this site was used by the people from the urban areas
9. The Great Lawn _____________ in 1984.
A. could be called the Great Dustbowl
B. was a natural refuge
C. was renewed thoroughly
D. hold some successful events
10. People can ______________ at the Great Lawn.
A. swim
B. enjoy live music
C. design construction
D. live
C
With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps ( 处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your er store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is mon courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe
our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
11. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that ____________.
A. it makes people more confident
B. it can pick up people's spirits
C. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world
D. it can help people get on well with others
12. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with ___________.
A. facts and descriptions
B. evidence and argument
C. examples and conclusion
D. stories and persuasion
13. The phrase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replace d by __________.
A. explaining carefully
B. speaking loud
C. keeping silent
D. laughing hard
14. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to __________.
A. talk about his own understanding of humor
B. encourage people to be humorous in daily life
C. introduce a practical way to get through daily life
D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life
15. What is the author's attitude towards the present world?
A. Positive.
B. Critical.
C. Satisfied.
D. Indifferent.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

A boy was giving permission to put his hand into a jar
to get some nuts. However, he took so a great handful that
he could draw his hand out. There he stood, unwilling to
give in a single nut, and yet unable to get it all out at
once. Puzzled and disappointing, he began to cry. “Son,”
said his mother, “be satisfied with half the nuts what you
have taken and you will easy get your hand out. Then perhaps
you may have any more nuts some other time. Do not attempt
too less at one time.”
