When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊）?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3℃,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Dcotors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,“When I go into water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.”

65.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____.A.they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months

B.they must reach the age of 60

C.they should be easy to make friends with

D.they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February

66.According to the passage,some doctors believe it is true that_____.A.Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

B.cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

C.you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

D.cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

67.The Polar Bears like to swim year-round,for_____.A.it is an easy way ot keep the body warm in winter

B.they can remain young

C.they find it enjoyable and interesting

D.they might meet fewer troubles in life

68.The passage is mainly about_____.A.the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

D.doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming

Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life.Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk.In fact,you need the same skills in walking as in swimming.However,I believe that five is the best age to learn.By five or six,a child knows fear of water,a very important thing to know.It's wise to be afraid,to recognize true danger.Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.To really benefit from swimming,every swimmer should learn,as soon as possible,these four basic strokes;butterfly,backstroke,breastroke,and crawl.I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others,since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,without any training.In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:

1.Never swim alone!No matter how good you are in the water,don't risk drowning by swimming alone.If you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble.2.Don't go beyond your abilities.Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach,Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good.Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.3.Don't smoke.Swimming depends on a healthy body;good lungs are part of it.4.Work at any activity that builds muscles.69.Little children can learn to swim as soon as _____.A.they can talk B.they start walking C.they have no fear of the water

D.they are five or six years old

70.The author believes that fear of water is_____.A.stupid B.sensible C.dangerous D.not smart

71.The stroke that some young swimmers use first is_____.A.Picture(1)B.Picture(2)C.Picture(3)D.Picture(4)

72.According to the passage,you should not swim alone because_____.A.the water is too cold B.your parents would not be happy

C.something in the water might attack D.you might drown

Is there a difference in meaning between“It's too late to make a telephone.Mary is asleep now.” and “It's too late to telephone.Mary will be asleep now？”

Yes.The difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone.In the first sentence“Mary is asleep now”,the speaker is stating a fact.In the second sentence“Mary will be asleep now,” the speaker is saying what Mary usually does.In fact,it's possible that Mary isn't asleep,but she is usually asleep at this time.So let's take two situations.In the first case,imagine Mary's mother answers the telephone.You:“May I speak to Mary,please?”

Mother:“No.It's too late.Mary is asleep now.”

You:“ Are you sure?It's only 10 o'clock.”

Mother:“ Yes.I went to her room and she was asleep.”

The mother knows that Mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her.Here is another case.Two friends decide to telephone Mary.Jack:“Let's telephone Mary.It's 10 o'clock.”

Jill:“No,It's too late.She will be asleep now.”

Jill knows that Mary always goes to bed before 10 o'clock ,so now she'll probably be asleep.But it is also possible that she is staying up late.73.In the first situation,Mary's mother_____.A.wants to tell you that she knows Mary is asleep B.knows that Mary was asleep

C.has no idea whether Mary is asleep or not D.wants to know if she can take a message for Mary

74.In the second situation,Jill_____.A.knows that Mary has gone to bed B.doesn't know that Mary is asleep

C.thinks it's likely that Mary cannot answer the telephone D.is sure that Mary can not answer the telephone

75.According to the teacher,in which situation do you think the word “will” is used in the same way Jill uses it?

A.It's too heavy,I think.I'll help you.B.Don't get into his office.He will be angry now.C.You won't have to come to my office.I will send it to you.D.Will you please do me a favor?

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科医生）and part of it taken out．Today，however，we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation．The sick person falls into a kind of sleep，and when he awakes，the operation is finished．But these happy conditions are fairly new．It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain．

Long ago，operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything．The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him.He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off，and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched．

Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”．Laughing gas became known in America．Young men and women went to parties to try it． Most of them spent their time laughing，but one man at a party，Horace Wells，noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas．He decided to make an experiment on himself．He asked a friend to help him．

Wells took some of the gas，and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth． Wells felt no pain at all．

As he didn't know enough about laughing gas，he gave a man less gas than he should have．The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out．

C “The more you learn, the more you earn,” said the pop singer Cyndi Lauper as she accepted her high school diploma(证书), at the age of 35!Although Cyndi made it without a high school degree, most people don't.In the USA today, about 75% of jobs need some education or technical training further than high school.The lowest wage earners in the USA are those without high school degrees;college graduates(毕业生)outearn those without a college education.People with master's degrees（硕士学位）outearn those with only a bachelor(学士学位);and the highest incomes of all are earned by people with advanced professional or academic degrees.These generalizations explain why most of young Americans go to college.However, despite the averages, more diplomas don't always mean more money.Many skilled blue-collar workers, salespeople business executives, and entrepreneurs outearn college professors and scientific researchers.And great athletes and entertainers outearn everyone else!11.Cyndi Lauper ______.A.had been studying in high school before she was thirty-five B.wasn't clever because she graduated from high school too late C.got her high school diploma when she was already thirty-five D.didn't like studying 12.According to the passage,______.A.high school diploma and high school degree are the same thing B.people can't get both high school diploma and degree C.people must get both high school diploma and degree D.people can get both high school diploma and degree or either 13.Why do most American young people go to college?

E Joker found one of the biggest diamonds in the world in his own back yard.He sold the stone to a diamond dealer for over three hundred thousand dollars.In New York, the diamond was resold.This time for almost eight hundred thousand dollars.The true value of a diamond is never known until it has been cut.Once cut successfully, its value can increase a thousand times.It’s easy to understand why the owner of the Joker diamond went to the best diamond cutter he knew, Kaplan.The cutter studied the diamond for twelve whole months.When he felt he was ready to start work, he discovered a flaw(瑕疵).He had to begin with his calculations(计算)all over again, or he might have made the stone useless.Six more months passed, and Kaplan finally said to the owner, “I am ready to start my work.There will be one excellent diamond that will be comparable to any in the world, plus eleven small diamonds of first-class quality.” Kaplan waited a few more days until be felt he was in the best physical and mental(精神的)condition possible.He picked up his tools and held his breath as he made the first blow.The diamond split(切开)exactly as he promised.21.Joker found one of the biggest diamonds in the world _______.A.in a minute

The work of scribes was not easy.Much of it had to be done fast in order to meet the needs of the King.the church and traders.Most of the writing was in Latin(拉丁),but some of it was in the English of the day.And no one was quite sure how some English words should be spelled.One problem was that several letters were written with short vertical strok（竖笔）that all looked like each other.Among them were the letters , i, u, v, m and n, Thus.five straight lines in a row might stand for uni nui uvi or mii.As a result.reading was sometimes difficult, especially when the writing was done in a hurry.The scribes solved(解决)the problem in part, by changing the letter u to o when it came before m.n or v.This is how sum and cum came lo be written as some and come.At some point, too, the scribes seemed to have decided that no English word should be ended by u or v.Thus, in time an e was added to such words as live, have, due and true.It was added, but not pronounced.36.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Everything has been written by hand in English since 1476.B.More than 500 years ago no people made a living by writing for other people.C.The church set up schools to train scribes before 1476.D.Scribes in England worked only for kings and traders.37.Which of the following is false?

A.Often the scribes had to work with great speed.B.The spelling of some English words was changed.D.Some scribes of the day were quite sure about the spelling of many English words.38.Sometimes people couldn’t read easily_____________.A.because there were too many u’s and v’s in sonic English words B.because most of the writing was in Latin C.when the writing was in English D.When tile writing was done hurriedly 39.The scribes changed u before m to o because A.the change helped them write faster B.the change made reading easier C.um and om had the same pronunciation D.om was the right order 40.It is believed that some scribes thought

A.it important to add an e to every English word B.the letter e at the end of any word shouldn't be pronounced C.it natural to change the spelling of sonic Latin words D.an English word should be ended neither by n nor by v I Man's First real inventions, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel.All transportation and machine in the world depend on it.The wheel is the simplest yet but perhaps the most remarkable(值得注意的)of all inventions.Because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels.How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass(尸体)of a heavy animal through the forest on log more easily than they could carry it.However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric(史前的)thinker to imagine two thin slices(薄片)of log connected at their centers by a strong stick, this would roll along just as the logs did and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.41.The wheel is important because _______.it was man’s first real invention B.all transportation depends on it C.every machine depends on it D.both B and C 42.The wheel is called _______.A.simple B.complicated

C.strange D.unusual 43.It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because ______.it led to many other inventions

man had no use for it then C.there were no wheels in nature D.all of the above 44.The wheel was probably invented by _______.A.a group of early hunters B.the first men on earth a great prehistoric thinker

D.the man who made the first cart 45.This selection says that the first wheel may have been a ______.A.ground piece of stone B.heavy log C.piece of mental D.slice of log Key: 31—35 D B D B B 36—40 C C D B D 41-45 D D B A B J In 1865 the famous French author Jules Verne wrote two books.One was entitled From the Earth to The Moon and the other was entitled Around The Moon.In these books Jules Verne described man landing on the moon.In 1969 man actually did land on the moon.Many of the details of the real moon landing had been described with amazing accuracy in Jules Verne’s books.For example, Jules Verne’s spaceship had an initial of 36,000 feet per second.Apollo 11’s initial speed was 35,533 feet per second.Last, Jules Verne’s spaceship took 87 hours, 13 minutes, and 20 seconds to reach the moon.Apollo 11 took 103 hours and 3 minutes.The door of Apollo 11 opened at exactly 10:56 p.m.on July 20, 1969, and a man stepped out onto the surface of the moon.Jules Verne had predicted it with great accuracy over hundred and four years earlier.46.What Verne described in “From the Earth to the Moon” is similar to the 1969 Apollo 11 landing on the moon in _______ ways.A.three B.four C.two D.five 47.The underlined word “entitled” refers to ________.A.made B.created C.named D.given a right

That way work would be both painless and fun.Or, so we imagine.Well, in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that.Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business.But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn’t think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation.It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting.But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes.The possibility of getting something wonderful in return---both material and mental---continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.52.From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes _____.A.to rule others B.to be his or her own boss C.to get a time work D.to be free from work 53.Most new business owners have to _______.A.work more than 10 hours a day B.devote himself to accounting C.fly to some places in the world D.have a day off in a week 54.The expression “negative picture” most probably means “_____________”.A.a terrible experience B.a poor picture C.limited freedom D.unpleasant situations 55.The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because _____.A.people love beautiful things by nature B.people have a strong desire to seek personal gains C.small businesses make big money each year in the US D.small businesses have advantages over big companies M Giving backing Fair Way The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize.The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home.And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards.A 9 had been recorded as a 7.They were not the state prize winner;Wobum High had won.“No one would have known,” said Wobum’s instructor, Bob Doran.For Rota, it wasn’t difficult decision: “The prize wasn’t ours to take.” Coin Stars “College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork.So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms.Her “Change for Change” effort has collected $40, 000 for charities(慈善机构), which were decided upon by students.Never Forgotten A school in Massachusetts received a $9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth.But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school.Records showed the on hard times, he was offered free room and board.LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.56.What did Greg Rota probably do in the end?

68.Which of the following pictures shows the right positions of Canada and Mexico?(C== Canada M —Mexico)keys: BACDD P In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning.If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention.So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part.In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently;being on time is valued highly in American life, for example.If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour;it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shout apology.It he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.69．A call at midnight would mean_________.A.the matter is less important B.the matter is too difficult to handle C.the matter requires immediate attention D.it is a matter of life and death 70．According to the passage, time plays a very important part in_______.A.everyday life B.private life C.getting along with others D.business 71．In the passage, the author suggests that invitation cards should be sent________.A.three or four days before the party date in all cultures B.three or four days before the party date in some cultures C.three or four days before the party date in the USA D.at your chosen time Keys: DCB Q Napoleon agreed to plans for a tunnel(隧道)under the English Channel in 1802.The British began digging one in 1880.Neither tunnel was completed.Europe has had to wait until the end of the 20th century for the Channel Tunnel.After nearly two centuries of dreaming, the island of Great Britain is connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age, when the two land masses moved apart.On May 6, 1994, Britain's Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ and France's President Mitterrand carried out the official opening.The Queen was accompanied(陪同)on her train journey through the historic tunnel by one of her Rolls-Royce cars which was placed on the train.The following day saw celebrations taking place in Folkestone and Calais.Regular public services did not start until the latter part of 1994.72．Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ________ at the opening.A．took her car Rolls-Royce through the tunnel B．took her car which was placed on her train through the tunnel C．took her train through the tunnel D．took Mitterrand's train through the tunnel 73．The island of Great Britain is ________.A．connected to France all the time B．separated from France with a tunnel C．separated from France all the time D．joined to France with the tunnel 74．Which of the following is right? A．Napoleon made plans for the tunnel.B．The public could pass through the tunnel by train after May 6, 1994.C．The tunnel was built for two centuries.D．The tunnel will do great good to Britain and France.75．Before 1994, one could go to Britain from France ________.A．only by ship B．by ship or plane C．by car or train D．by ship, car or train keys: DCBD R About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way.Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter.Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness.In some cases a man can not see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green.Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green.In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain.In a single eye there are millions of very small things called“cones”.These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors.There are also millions of“rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark.They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors.Mosquitoes(蚊子)like blue but do not like yellow.y red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will.In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors.Yet we are lucky.With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night.One day we may even learn more about the invisible(看不见的)colors around.76．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A．Women are more careful.B．There are few color-blind women.C．Women are fonder of driving than men.D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking 77.This passage is mainly about ________.A．color and its surprising effects B．women being luckier than men C．danger caused by color blindness D．color blindness 78．According to the passage, with the help of the“cones”，we can ________.A．tell orange from yellow B．see in weak light C．kill mosquitoes D．tell different shapes 79．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________.A．red light B．yellow light C．blue light D．green light keys:DABC

S Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of generations.Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.That’s because we group people by age.We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes.Why? We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying.It is much harder to watch.someone we love disappear before our eyes.Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.Fortunately,.some of us have found our way to the old.And we have discovered that they often save the young.A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people.At first her children were disappointed.But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit.Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects.“My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.The young, in turn, save the old.Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby.She was immediately surrounded.People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child.Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.Grandparents are a special case.They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity.As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.”

Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents.“My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said.A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.80 Now in an American family, people can find that ____.A.children never live with their parents B.not all working people live with their parents C.aged people are supported by their grandchildren D.grandchildren are supported by their grandparents 81 The reason why old people are left alone may be that ____.A.the old don’t like to live in a big family

B.the young can’t get enough money to support the old

C.different generations have different lifestyles

D.the old are too weak to live with the young 82 The fact that the reporter told us shows that ___.A.old people in America lead a hard life B.old people in America enjoy banana bread C.she had no time to take care of her children D.old people are easy to get along with 83 Seeing a baby, the old people get excited because ____.A.they had never seen a baby before B.the baby was clever and beautiful C.the baby brought them the image of life D.the baby’s mother would take care of them

Why do children not get attention from their parents?

A.Because they often make trouble and make their parents disappointed.B.Because their parents are too busy to take care of them.C.Because their parents have to take care of their grandparents.D.Because their parents have been out of work for a long time.Keys: BCDCB

第三篇：高一英语阅读理解专项训练10附答案(练习+答案)

高一英语阅读理解专项10 Passage A Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world.War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage these famous places.Looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.①

In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to preserve(保护)our history.If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after important historic places.Also, if they discovered that a monument needed urgent(紧急的)help, they would have money for repairs.For these reasons, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization in 1972.Today, the organization helps to maintain(维护)and restore the most important places from our history.However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism.People sometimes enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings.At some sites, such as Stonehenge② in England, governments have built high fences to protect the site from vandals.There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism.Some experts say that if guards patrolled(巡逻)the sites, vandals would not be able to get in.Some experts say that if they fixed more television cameras, they would not need so many guards.Other experts say that the best solution is education.If people learned to respect history, they would not destroy or damage it.They would also want to spend money looking after old places.For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic sites.注释

Stonehenge 英国南部索尔兹伯里附近的一组史前巨石柱群，可上溯到公元前2000-1800年。

1.Why did countries all over the world unite to form the World Heritage Organization?

A.People enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings.B.Governments build high fences to protect the site from vandals.C.Guards patrolled the sites and they fixed more television cameras.D.They also spend money looking after old places.3.What's the best way to solve the biggest problem of vandalism?

A.Every country spends more money looking after these places often.B.To form the World Heritage Organization.C.Too many guards are needed to prevent vandals getting in.D.To make people know information about the value of historic sites.Passage B

The kings of ancient Egypt planned strong tombs(坟墓)to keep their bodies safe after death and to hold their treasures(财宝).The Great Pyramid was built thousands of years ago for a king called Khufu.It stands on the west bank of the Nile River not far from Cairo.In fact all the pyramids along the Nile are on its west bank.The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of life.This is why their dead bodies were buried(埋葬)on the west bank of the Nile.① The people of Mexico also built pyramids.They did not build the pyramids for tombs.They used to build a pyramid and then a temple on top of it.The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramids of Egypt, but they are big.Each of the pyramids has a wide stairway(阶梯)that goes from the bottom to the top.②

More pyramids were built in the Americas than in Egypt.About 90 pyramids are known to have stood in Egypt, while several hundred small pyramids are scattered(分散)across Central and South America.The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2,000 years old.Scientists think it took 10,000 men more than ten years to build it.On the top they built a temple of the sun.The temple is no longer there but people still called it the Pyramid of the Sun.Near it is another huge pyramid, the Pyramid of the Moon.注释

① This is why their dead bodies were buried on the west bank of the Nile.这就是他们的尸体葬在尼罗河西岸上的原因。

② Each of the pyramids has a wide stairway that goes from the bottom to the top.每座金字塔都有一个从底部到顶端的宽阶梯。

The Taj Mahal(泰姬陵)is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and the finest example of the late style of Indian architecture.① It is at Agra in northern India.It lies beside the River Jumna in the middle of gardens with quiet pools.The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor(皇帝)Shah Jehan, who ruled India in the seventeenth century.It is in memory of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631.The building, which was completed between 1632 and 1638, was designed by a local Muslim architect(建筑师)Ustad Ahmad Lahori.The whole building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643.The Taj Mahal stands at one end of the garden tomb with marble(大理石)path.The room is softly lighted by the light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls.The building now is kept in good condition.②

一、骑行调研“中国梦”

For his graduate thesis, a German student rode 5,800 kilometers in China to learn about the Chinese Dream among ordinary people.“what’s your Chinese Dream?” This is the question he raised for every stranger he came across on his 100-day journey.The 28-year-old student surnamed Jorg came to China for the first time in 2011.After a year in China, he was able to use chopsticks and speak Chinese.Because of his interest in Chinese culture, he went to Zhe-jiang University in 2015 for a master’s degree in sinology

Jorg learned the term “Chinese Dream” in 2013, and now it has become a hot word in Chinese society.With an eagerness to understand the true connotation of the term among ordinary Chinese people, he started his journey on May 1st, 2016.Jorg believes that riding is natural, environmentally-friendly, and flexible.Before starting his trip, he specifical1y carried out bicycle training.His trip covered 12 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, from the northernmost city of Mohe to the southernmost city of Sanya.Jorg has set up a public account on social media to record and share his experiences during the trip.Urban-rural disparity was one of the focuses of his investigation.He found that people in the countryside long for a peaceful life, while urban residents follow their hearts.In addition, older generations of Chinese are more concerned with social stability and equality than economy desires, Jorg said, adding that education and individual development are the major consideration of the young generation.“Though the people seek their own way to realize their dreams, they all believe that a strong country can make everything possible,” Jorg said.二、单词

三、中文翻译

为了他的毕业论文，一名德国学生在中国骑行5800公里，了解普通民众的中国梦。“你的中国梦是什么?”这是他在100天的旅途中遇到的每一个陌生人都会问的问题。

这名28岁的学生乔格于2011年首次来到中国。在中国呆了一年之后，他会使用筷子，还会说中文。

由于对中国文化的兴趣，他于2015年考入浙江大学攻读汉学硕士学位。乔格在2013年学会了“中国梦”这个词，现在这个词已经成为中国社会的热门词汇。2016年5月1日，带着对中国普通老百姓这个词 真正含义的渴望，他开始了自己的旅程。

Jorg认为骑车是自然的，环保的，灵活的。出发前，他专门进行了自行车训练。

他的行程涵盖了12个省、自治区、直辖市，从最北端的漠河市到最南端的三亚。乔格在社交媒体上建立了一个公众账号，记录并分享他的旅行经历。

城乡差距是他研究的重点之一。他发现，农村人渴望平静的生活，而城市居民则随心所欲。

此外，中国老一辈人更关心社会稳定和平等，而不是经济需求，Jorg说，教育和个人发展是年轻一代的主要考虑因素。

乔格说:“尽管人们以自己的方式去实现他们的梦想，但他们都相信一个强大的国家可以让一切成为可能。”
