    20．If there is a building which symbolizes a country-such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia-then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India．
    It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653in memory of his wife，Mumtaz Mahal．From the time they got married，they wouldn't be separated．She followed him to wars，advised him on affairs of state，and was loved by his people for her good work．But she died in 1631during childbirth．The emperor was heart-broken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love．
    It took more than 20years for the Taj Mahal to be built．Workers were brought in，not only from all over India，but from Central Asia too．A total of 20，000people worked on the building．
    In 1657，Shah Jahan fell ill，and in 1658his son Aurangzeb，imprisoned （囚禁） his father and seized power．Shah Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666．He was finally buried there with his wife he could never forget．
    The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit．As it is built with white marble stones，its character changes in different lights．It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset．At sunset，for example，the colour of the Taj changes from white to yellow，then to pink．As the moon rises，it turns a silvery white．
    To show respect to the Taj，tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit．
    1．Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal toB．
    A．make it symbolize India
    B．memorize his wife
    C．show his great power      
    D．give his wife a present
    2．Which of the following about the Taj Mahal is NOT true？C
    A．It is a symbol of India．
    B．It took over 20years to build the Taj Mahal．
    C．All workers building the Taj Mahal came from Central Asia．
    D．The Taj Mahal was built with white marble stones．
    3．According to the passage，we know that Shah JahanA．
    A．lived a hard life in his last few years
    B．lost his life just because of his old age
    C．was not popular with his people at that time
    D．treated his son badly when he was young．

    分析 本文主要介绍了印度的泰姬陵及其建造的历史渊源，并告诉了我们其修建的目的并对其高度评价．

    解答 1-3 BCA
    1．B  细节理解题．根据文章第二段中的"It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife"可知，妻子Mahal死后皇帝伤心欲绝，修建泰姬陵的目的是为了纪念死去的妻子．
    2．C  细节理解题．根据文章第三段中的"Workers were brought in，not only from all over India，but from Central Asia too．"可知，建造泰姬陵的工人既有印度人又有中亚人，因此不全是来自中亚的．
    3．A  推理判断题．根据文章第四段的描述可知，Shah Jahan晚年被自己的儿子囚禁起来并被剥夺了权利，直到去世．由此可以推断，他的晚年生活肯定非常艰难．

    点评 阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．

    10．Airport Delays on the Rise
    Delays cause extreme anger among travelers，and cost the country billions in lost productivity．
    An FAA study listed eleven major problems and suggested eleven solutions．All problems are in air traffic control．The various regions（地区）don't talk to each other enough．Each region operates differently and the number of planes in so-called regional traffic is increasing．
    In the first of eleven solutions，an FAA national center will take control from the regions during heavy traffic or bad weather．
    Jane Garvey of the FAA says，"The purpose of the command（指挥）center is to really make those decisions that affect the system in total．"Also，the FAA promises publicly again to upgrade its computers．
    Michael Barr is a safety expert at the University of Southern California，"We've got fares that are reduced．More people want to fly and we are actually filling the air of the United States with air traffic．"
    An example of this is that the San Francisco International Airport is growing fast as a world-wide gateway and as a center to an expanded（扩展的）regional service．
    Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says，"If we've got 16，17，18 aircraft，departing at 8 a．m．，the guy that is on the 18th plane is going to be 40 minutes late．"
    Jane Garvey says，"It's important to note that flying is more popular．It's becoming a form of public transportation for a number of people．That's having an effect on the delay numbers as well．"
    Weather causes about 70% of delays．Then the FAA moves planes farther apart from five miles to as much as 20 miles．The new rule may reduce that to 10 miles．But if the sky is already crowded，where do those planes go？
    A traveler says，"Naturally，I think the more space between planes，the safer for travelers．"
    The FAA calls it an improvement，not a final solution．The public say the major problems remain：too many planes，too few controllers and too little modernization．
    44．According to the FAA study，the biggest problem leading to airport delays lies inC．
    A．the reduced plane fares         
    B．the expanded regional service
    C．the poor air traffic control        
    D．the increasing passenger numbers
    45．What is the writer's attitude towards reducing the space between planes？A
    A．Doubtful
    B．Supportive
    C．Confident
    D．Interested．
    46．It can be inferred from the passage thatB．
    A．the FAA will take control from the regions according to their requirements
    B．passengers had better be prepared for airport delays in the near future
    C．upgraded computer systems promise planes to be on time
    D．plane fares will get raised to reduce passengers．

    8．Students who say they never or hardly ever use dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly，because they make many mistakes．
    The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either．The ones who look up every new word do not read fast．Therefore they do not have time to read much．Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems．Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English．But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English．
    The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100，000 words but do not use them too often．When they are reading，these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context．Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand．They use dictionaries more for writing．If they are not sure how to spell a word，or divide it into syllables （音节），they always use a dictionary．Also，if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form，they check these in a dictionary．

    A．choose a good dictionary，and you'll be successful in learning English

    5．China is a country on the move-especially around its Lunar New Year holiday．This year，the holiday crush（客流量） promises to be even heavier than before
    Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air，roads and railways 3.62billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel．
    Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience．And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope．Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel，and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down
    Much of the criticism has，focused on the railway's-online purchasing system．Which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers（票贩子） from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets．
    While insisting that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers，railway officials told reporters that the public need to be patient．Efforts were  being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems．While officials had little good news for rail passengers，they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls （通行费）  will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday．

    32．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word"discounting"in Paragraph 3？B
    A．Promising．
    B．Discouraging．
    C．Pleasing．

    C．takes great effort
    D．is convenient for travelers
    34．We can learn from the text thatBaround the New Year holiday．
    A．there will be 3.62　billion people going home
    B．  the railway system will be facing more stress
    C．people's complaint　focus on the failure of online purchase
    D．not railways but cars are the best choices for traveling

    （71）B
    We are drawn to people who smile．There is an attraction factor．We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good because anxieties can push people away，but a smile draws them in．
    Smiling changes our mood．
    Next time you are feeling down，try putting on a smile．（72）FSmiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood．
    Smiling is appealing．
    When someone is smiling they lighten up the room，change the moods of others，and make things happier．A smiling person brings happiness with them．Smile a lot and you will draw people to you．

    The muscles we use to smile lift the face，making a person appear younger．Don't go for a face lift，just try smiling your way through the day-you'll look younger and feel better．
    （75）ATry this test：Smile．Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile．It's hard．When we smile，our body is sending the rest of us a message that"Life is Good!"

    A．Smiling helps you stay positive．
    B．Smiling makes us attractive．
    C．Do you notice the difference？

    E．When you are stressed，take time to put on a smile．
    F．There's a good chance that your mood will change for the better．
