Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the 2000 Olympic games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world. Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the world’s beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.

The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. It’s also where Sydney’s two most famous landmarks are located — the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room.

The farther hotels in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less expensive. Daring Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the centre of the city. Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the water’s edge.

If you don’t feel like dealing with the hustle and bustle of the city and are looking for something a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches? It’s only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques (时装店，精品店).

1.What made Sydney famous as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world?

A. Its traditional culture.　　 B. its beaches and hotels.

C. The traffic system.　　 D. The 2000 Olympics.

2.If you want to live in a quiet hotel and buy some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts, you should choose one in __________ .

A. Circular Quay　　 B. Darling Harbor

C. Manly　　 D. Sydney Harbor Bridge

3.The underlined part “hustle and bustle” in the last paragraph may refer to _________.

A. hot climate　　 B. serious pollution

DNA（Deoxyribonucleic acid）is one of the most important discoveries in science. DNA is the plan for the human being，as a blueprint is the plan for building. DNA makes a person look the way he does. A person’s DNA comes from a mixing of his parents’ DNA. That’s why a child looks like his parents. But，besides controlling things such as height and hair color，DNA can also give people diseases. Scientists are now studying DNA to cure（治疗） diseases. 　　　　　

In the seventies, scientists developed a process called recombinant (重新组合) or RDNA. Although it sounds difficult to understand，RDNA simply means taking DNA from one animal or plant and putting it into another. By doing so，scientists can create new beings. In doing so，scientists can better understand DNA, especially what parts of DNA do. After they understand DNA，scientists can begin to cure diseases. Often，the new being created itself will be the cure.

Besides curing diseases，RDNA research can also do other things. For example, scientists in Japan have already created “super-trees”. Trees help humans，because they take CO2, which poisons humans, from the air and turns it into oxygen, which lets humans breathe. “Super-trees” do this too，but do it much faster. As things such as cars and factories have already put much CO2 in the area，“super-trees” are badly needed.　　　　　　　　　　

Unfortunately，there is serious danger in RDNA research. Scientists want to create animals to cure old diseases，but these new animals may also create new diseases. It will be a serious problem if the animals escape from the science laboratory and into nature. As these animals are not natural, they may let loose many new powerful diseases.　　　　　　　　　　

As a result，RDNA research will create many solutions（解决方案），but it will also create many problems.

1.From the passage, we can know that a boy looks like his parents because　　　　　 .

A. he is son of his parents

B. his parents’ DNA decides his appearance

C. he has received DNA from his father or his mother

D. scientists have put some of his parents’ DNA into him

2.The following statements are true about RDNA research EXCEPT　　　　

A. RDNA research will benefit human beings a lot

B. super-trees might be widely planted around the world

C. scientists have not completely understood DNA

D. the research has been stopped because the created animals carry virus (病毒)

3.What does the underlined expression “let loose” in　 paragraph 4 probably mean？

A. let．．．go free　　 B. get rid of (去除)　　 C. absorb (吸收)　　 D. survive

4.What is the best title for the passage？

A. The DNA Research in Japan

B. A New Way of DNA Research in Japan

C. The Advantages and Disadvantages of RDNA

D. The Causes and Effects of DNA Research

Fluency(流利) in another language is one of the most important aims of a newcomer to another country. In addition, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.

Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first stage of learning. It usually involves(含包) things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.

To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first stage, this is challenge(挑战) because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call “culture” is hard to see.

Culture is like an iceberg(冰川). Picture in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the tip. You don’t see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep within the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people.

When you meet someone from another culture, certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You observe new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They are visible so they are seen easily and quickly.

The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions(设想), communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture affects much of a person’s way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal (言语的) and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves becoming aware of the hidden part of culture.

1.What’s the subject of this passage?

2.What is learning about culture?

3.The underlined phrase “consists of” can be replaced by “______”.

4.What conclusion can we draw after reading this passage?
