Mapping Your World
Different forms of maps are appearing. They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world. Here are two of our favorites:
Green Maps
Green Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly plaees and attractions in the local areas. Users add information with a set of icons (图标), making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it. At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries. Green Maps’ advertised idea is “think global, map local”. It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranning from community gardens to good places of birdwatching.
Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers. Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with producers through the Green Maps website.
Maps Mashups
Many people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them. Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Maps Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to exsiting maps to express a certain topic. The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need. It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World. Heritage Site are, to the most bizarre (古怪的)，such as where America’s drunkest cities are. With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multi-layered (多层的) map can be created.
60. According to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps?
A. Aiming at environmental protection.
B. Introducing local attractions with icons.
C. Offering advice to independent travelers.
D. Cllecting icons worldwide for local maps.

One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.
“Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked.
The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town. “All of our rooms are taken”, the clerk said. “But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.”
When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll make out just fine,” the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.
As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe some day I’ll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn’t easy.
Two years passed, the clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.
The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of the Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone one, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky. “That,” said the older man, “is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.” “You must be joking,” the young man said. “I can assure you I am not,” said the older man, a sly smile playing around his mouth.
The older man’s name was William Waldorf Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C. Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world’s most glamorous hotels.

A. give people a good laugh B. cover some facts
C. promote the business of Waldorf-Astoria Hotel D. deliver a lesson

A. rooms B. suites C. meetings D. hotels
49. In Para. 5 the clerk laughed with the couple because ___________.
A. he thought the elderly man very funny
B. he felt excited about the man’s offer
C. he knew he would have a bright future with the man’s help
D. he had a pleasant time with the couple
50. Which of the following proverbs suits the story the best?

C. Man proposes, God disposes. D. One good turn deserves another.
46. B.
47. B.

（ C ）
It is hard to go after the blue whale, the ocean’s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and sightings with bare eyes are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top-secret system of underwater detecting（探测）devices across the oceans.
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian（平民的）scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential（潜在的）enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption（爆发）for the first time and that they plan similar studies.
Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures.
The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second — slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope（听诊器）does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.
51. The passage is chiefly about ________.
A）an effort to protect an endangered sea species
B）the civilian use of a military system
C）the introduction of a U.S. Navy top-secret weapon
D）a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales
52. The underwater listening system was originally designed ________.
A）to detect and locate enemy boats
B）to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C）to study the movement of ocean currents
D）to replace the global radio communications network
53. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word “to track” in the second paragraph?
A）to study B）to fight against C）to follow D）to try to kill
54. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A）new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales
B）blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system
C）opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology
D）military technology has great potential uses outsides the military forces
55. Which of the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network?
A）It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists.
B）It has been replaced by a more advanced system.
C）It became useless to the military after the cold war.
D）It is a must in protecting endangered species.
