I’m interested in the Renaissance, so I like visiting ancient Italian cities. Ferrara is called City of

the Renaissance. When I learned about this city on the Internet, I decided to pay a visit to it.

The city has a certain charm and calmness, but I found it isn’t as great as other Italian cities like

Verona, let alone Venice or Rome.

The Michelin Green Guide

gives it 2 stars, which is right.

I first visited the city centre. The Cathedral and the Castle are at the heart of the city. Both have

striking appearances. I visited the Cathedral first. The Castle is also worth visiting. At the lower levels,

the history of the city and the d’Este family are told throug

h displays, and in another part the ceilings

are shown up-and-close through mirrors on the ground.

In the north, we can appreciate the Renaissance extension of the town, with straight streets and

monumental houses. The famous Palazzo dei Diamanti lies here. When I was visiting it, it started to

rain, so after taking a few photos quickly, I cut my visit there short.

It had been raining for a few days. When the rain ceased, I went to visit the historical centre and

the Renaissance buildings. Then I saw a street and found Castello Estense, which owns its name to the

powerful family d’Este. It was built

with bricks and surrounded by a moat(

护城河

).

After leaving there, I visited several other interesting places such as palaces, churches and the

narrow streets of the downtown. After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua. There I had a

much better time.

21. The author paid a visit to Ferrara mainly because it is______.

A. a very famous city in Italy

B. full of charm and calmness

- 3 -

C. related to the Renaissance

D. strongly recommended by a website

22. What did the author think of

The Michelin Green Guide

’s comment on Ferrara?

A. Reasonable.

B. Interesting.

C. Unacceptable.

D. Disappointing.

23. What does the underlined word “ceased” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Changed.

B. Appeared.

C. Spread.

D. Stopped.

24. What’s the correct order of the following places the author visited?

①

the Castle

②

the Palazzo dei Diamanti

③

the Cathedral

④

the Castello Estense

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy

．

After all,

you probably sing or whistle when you are happy

．

Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy

．

However,

they sing most of the time for a very different reason

．

Their singing is actually a warning to other

birds to stay out of their territory

．

Do you know what a

as its own .Only he and his family are welcome there

．

No other families of the same species are

welcome

．

Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome

．

If

a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout

．

Probably this would be

enough to frighten him away

．

If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him

．

A bird does the

same thing

．

But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting

season

．

So he's

screaming

all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not

．

This screaming is what we call a bird's

song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away

．

Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter

the territory of theirs

．

You can see that birds have a language of their own

．

Most of it has something to

do with attracting mates and setting up territories

．

25

．

Some scientists believe that most of the time birds' singing is actually

In

some

ways,

the

United

States

has

made

some

progress.

Fires

no

longer

destroy

18,000

buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they

did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky

in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.

But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the

world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(

无所谓

)

of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.

American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be.

The

United

States

has

twice

Japan's

population,

and

40

times

as

many

fires.

It

spends

far

less

on

preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at

children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.

Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other

countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime.

- 5 -

Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings,

Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.

In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are

aimed

at

too

limited

a

number

of

people;

just

9

percent

of

all

fire

deaths

are

caused

by

children

playing with matches.

The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There

are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers

(

喷水装置

). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.

29. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.

A. they took no interest in new technology

B. they did not pay great attention to preventing fires

C. they showed indifference to fighting fires

D. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment

30. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American children

B. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessons

C. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United States

D. America's large population leads to more fires

31. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.

B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.

C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.

D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.

Nuclear

power's(

核能的

)

danger

to

health,

safety,

and

even

life

itself

can

be

described

in

one

word; radiation(

辐射

).

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (

探测

) by

human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us.

There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them,

sense

them,

without

a

radio

receiver.

Similarly,

we

can't

sense

radioactivity

without

a

radiation

detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other
