The students’ answers 38 from 20g to 500g.

If I hold it for a day, you will have to 42 an ambulance. It is exactly the 43 weight, but the longer I hold it, the 44 it becomes.” The whole audience became silent, lost in thought.

第三部分： 阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

I recommend (推荐) flying to Washington D.C., our nation’s capital. Like

Beijing this is the heartbeat of America. While in washington D.C. you should check out the White House, the presidential monuments, Ford’s Theater where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated (暗杀) and the US Capitol building, which is the home of the US government.

When you’re ready to leave Washington D.C., go to Chinatown and jump on a

bus up to New York. These buses are really cheap and convenient.

New York is like a fantasy world where you can do almost anything! My friend

from Thailand said the best Thai food she ever ate was in New York City. So eat as much as you can, see a show on Broadway and climb the stairs of the Statue of Liberty. If you really want an American experience, eat a hot dog while you watch a New York Yankee’s baseball game.

Now, because you are my friends, I will recommend to you one of the great secret places in America: New Hampshire (新罕布什尔州). Even though this is my home state, I am not biased (偏爱). New Hampshire is one of the most beautiful places in

the world. In the fall, hike the White Mountains and be surprised at the bright red, yellow and orange leaves on the trees. In the winter, drink a warm glass of hot chocolate before you ski through freshly fallen snow. And in the summer take a boat out of Lake Winnipesauke and enjoy crystal (水晶般的) clear water.

Actually, you’ll have a good time just about any-where.

56. Why does the writer think visitors should take a bus to New York? A. Because the distance is short. B. Because the trains are crowded.
