Even though these monuments are extremely well known,they hold secrets that not many people are aware of.
Empire State Building
On the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building in New York,there is a secret observation deck that not a lot of people know about.To access the balcony,you have to take a series of elevators and then a very steep,narrow staircase.The observation deck isn’t open to the public,but many celebrities have been photographed there.
Eiffel Tower
There is a secret apartment and office at the very top of the Eiffel Tower that has just recently become open to the public.In 1889,Gustave Eiffel,the engineer of this famous Paris landmark,built himself a private apartment and office.It has been restored and has wax models of Gustave,his daughter,and American inventor Thomas Edison on display.
Statue of Liberty
There is actually a room in the torch of the Statue of Liberty that showcases breathtaking views of the city.People used to be able to visit that room until 1916 when German agents blew up a nearby wharf(码头).The explosion sent broken pieces into the raised arm of Lady Liberty,making the staircase up to the hidden room unsafe.
Disneyland
Hardcore Disney fans might think they know all of the secrets of the park,a famous U.S.landmark,but many haven’t heard of Club 33.This exclusive restaurant is hidden behind an unmarked door in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square.If you want to dine here on your next trip to Disneyland,don’t get your hopes up.It costs $25,000 to join the club,plus an annual fee of $12,000.

Building a five-star hotel in the middle of a valuable wilderness(荒野)without damaging(破坏)the environment might not be easy,but it is far from impossible.The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest shows that if enough care and attention is taken,the task is possible.
Unlike many other hotel building plans,no trees were cut down and no land was wasted to build it.The Lodge does not have the same location(位置) but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May,till September.Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane.Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3% tax(税)on the protection of the natural resources,but is given the chance to see whales and bears.And since these are the main attractions of the area and of the Lodge,the management knows well that in order to stay in business they must make the area untouched.
In 2000,the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native(本土的)Gitga’at people.Together they work for the benefit of the area.The Lodge knows that the native tribe(部落)is the owners of the land,so it pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe’s people.They,in turn,teach the newcomers about the local culture.
The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that manage to minimize their environmental damage to win the approval(批准)of the local government where they set up their business.These companies pay more attention to environmental protection and are careful to use natural resources and protect endangered animals.Realizing how destructive tourism can be,they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism.
4.According to the passage,the tourist industry　　　.?
A.will always do harm to the environment
B.cares little about the importance of environmentally friendly tourism
C.can do less damage to the environment
D.always has a disagreement with the local government
5.From the passage,we know that the King Pacific Lodge 　　　.?
A.follows other hotels’ building plans
B.is less popular among tourists
C.is far away from an important wilderness

B.The King Pacific Lodge can be moved from place to place.
C.Guests in the King Pacific Lodge can take part in programs about the protection of nature.
D.Guests in the King Pacific Lodge have to pay extra money for the boat to get there.
7.According to Paragraph 3,we learn that some of the native people 　　　.?
A.want to learn the newcomers’ culture
B.are not willing to sell their land
C.are employed by local government to work for the Lodge
D.may have the chance to work at the Lodge

The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species,tens of thousands of plants,and some 2,000 birds and mammals.To date,at least 40,000 plant species,3,000 fish,1,294 birds,427 mammals,428 amphibians,and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region.One in five of all the birds in the world live in the Amazon rainforest.
The warm and wet forest has been in existence for at least 55 million years,and thrived even during glacial periods,allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species.Radiocarbon dating (放射性碳定年法) has revealed trees of 10 centimeter in diameter to be more than 300 years old,and some trees over 1,000 years old,indicating that untouched forests can experience unbelievable longevity.
The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11,200 years ago.European explorers arrived in the 16th century,bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves,killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants (土著居民).By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.
The Amazon rainforest has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its important role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen.But due to deforestation (滥伐森林),rainforests now cover less than 5% of the Earth’s land surface,and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change.Severe deforestation began in the 20th century,with 587,000 square kilometers lost up to the year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland to raise farm animals and agriculture.The addition of transport routes has led to increased settlement and deforestation,and at the present rate,scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.
8.Why are the figures mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.To prove the forest untouched.
B.To classify species scientifically.
C.To show the diversity of species.
D.To attract more attention to the Amazon region.
9.Why did most indigenous inhabitants in the Amazon region die?
A.Because European explorers brought diseases there.
B.Because Portuguese explorers treated them badly.
C.Because a lot of trees were cut down and burned.
D.Because they got killed by Spanish explorers.
10.What can be inferred about the Amazon rainforest?
A.It has the largest number of species.
B.It covers over 5% of South America.
C.It is becoming larger in area.
D.It is being endangered now.
11.What may be included in the following paragraph?
A.Examples of destroying forests.
B.Measures to protect rainforests.
C.New settlements in the Amazon region.
D.Ways to stop global warming.
D
Soon enough,we will lose some of the most amazing sites on Earth!
The Great Barrier Reef
Rising air temperatures will cause sea temperatures to rise as well.All life supported by the oceans will be affected with this shock to their ecosystem.Corals are some of the most vulnerable marine animals and we are already watching whole reefs disappear.The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise!These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving,but they will soon disappear!
Venice
Sprawling across(横跨)hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy,Venice is at extreme risk of sinking into the Adriatic Sea.Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea level.Lucky for us,however,Venice is developing a series of sea walls to protect the city in times of high tide.
Glacier(冰川)National Park
Glacier National Park was once covered by over 150 glaciers,but by 2005 it only had about 27!Located in Montana,Canada,this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population.As temperatures rise,the glaciers and ice melt,which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.
The Amazon
The cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans.Our expansion usually requires cutting down forests for land,fuel and materials,but rarely considers the consequences.These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!
What will happen if we lose these valuable places and beautiful destinations?
12.What can we infer from the part of “Venice”?
A.Many places are in the risk of sinking below the sea level.
B.Venice is the only coastal city of Italy.
C.Venice will never sink because of the protection of sea walls.
D.Italy consists of hundreds of small islands in the Adriatic Sea.
13.What can we learn about Glacier National Park from the text?
A.It doesn’t support any living things for its cold.
B.It is covered by over 150 glaciers.
C.Plant species and animals in it have died out.
D.It covers a large area in Montana.
14.Which site’s shrinking reason differs from the other sites?
A.The Great Barrier Reef.
B.Venice.
C.The Amazon.
D.Glacier National Park.
15.According to the text,what is causing the corals’ death?
A.Rising sea levels.
B.Rising sea temperatures.

One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store,Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace,by which she was totally defeated.How eagerly she wanted it!But when she saw the price,her heart sank a little.She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her.Her mother said,“Well,it is a pretty necklace,but it costs an awful lot of money.I can buy you the necklace,but when we get home,we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately,feeling a burst of joy.So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day.Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very loving daddy.When Jenny went to bed,he would read Jenny her favourite story.One night when he finished the story,he said,“Jenny,do you love me?”“Oh,yes,Daddy,you know I love you,” the little girl said delightedly,with a broad smile on her face.“Well,then,give me your pearls.” Hearing that,Jenny froze there,an anxious expression twisting her face.“Oh!Daddy,not my pearls!But you can have Rosy,my favourite doll.Remember her?You gave her to me last year for my birthday.Okay?”“Oh no,darling,that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss,gently and calmly.“Good night,little one.”
A week later,her father once again asked Jenny after her story,“Do you love me?”“Oh yes,Daddy,you know I love you,” the little girl murmured softly,trying to escape from her father’s eyes.“Well,then,give me your pearls.”“Oh,Daddy,not my pearls!But you can have Ribbons,my toy horse.Do you remember her?She is my favourite.” The little girl begged.“No,that’s okay,” her father said,smiling broadly and sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss.“God bless you,little one.Sweet dreams.”

【故事续写】
Several days later,when Jenny’s father came in to read her story,Jenny was waiting anxiously for him on the bed.When listening to the story,Jenny was totally absent-minded,with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly.When the story came to an end,unexpectedly,Jenny offered her beloved necklace to her father,with her fingers trembling automatically.No one knew what the necklace meant to her.She whispered to her father,softly and gently,“Daddy,you know I love you more than the necklace.” Then,the necklace slid into her father’s hands determinedly.
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered,the father dragged out a blue box.Much to Jenny’s amazement,a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box,which set her heart racing.Jenny froze there,a thrilled expression twisting her face.Before Jenny was able to say something,her father brushed a warm kiss on her face and gathered her into his arms.Holding the genuine necklace in her hand,Jenny lifted her face,tears beginning to blur her vision.
