The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous(灾难性的) fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed ―the Garden City‖, almost certainly the source of Howard‘s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination（结合） of designs.
The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard‘s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement,
the garden city. Howard‘s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit-----Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.
( )39. How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?
A． Through his observation of the country life.Through the
combination of different ideas C． By taking other people‘s advice.
D． By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago. ( )40. The underlined phrase ―drawing on ‖in Paragraph 1 probably means______.

A．as far as possible from existing citiesB．in the countryside where the land was cheap
C．in the countryside where agriculture was developed D．near cities where employment opportunities already existed
( )42. What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?
A．Their number would continue to rise
B．Each one would continue to become larger C．People would live and work in the same place D．Each one would contain a certain type of business ( )43. What could be the best title for the passage? A．City and Countryside
B．The Invention of the Garden City. C．A New City in Chicago
D．A Famous Garden City in England 答案

It is not something that goes away or gets better; it is something I have to live with for the rest of my life.
When I took a trip to the Santa Barbara，I saw a big fig (无花果) tree that had been planted by a young girl almost 140 years ago. I was amazed at its strong large roots standing several feet out of the ground and reaching hundreds of feet in all directions. Although the soil (泥土)
is poor, those roots have allowed the fig tree to grow eighty feet tall, and it still has much fruit for people to enjoy.
As I sat there quietly, I realized that I should live my life in the same way. Like the fig tree‘s roots, I also may be tied to something that holds me down. And like the fig tree, I also want to be always growing, offering the fruit of wisdom, strength, and peace that many need.

四、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words Hi Grace,
How‘s it going? Sorry I haven‘t e-mailed for a while, because I had so much to do!
I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn't fit and I wanted to get some exercise. But that wasn't the only r 16 that I decided to do a sport. Students who play sports do better at school. Exercise also helps learning and memory.
.First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before and I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I k 17 I couldn't run for very long without feeling tired. On the first day, I was able to run for the first ten minutes, but then I was s 18 tired that I couldn't even kick the ball! Then, I tried volleyball. I was able to run for the first twenty minutes and I wasn't the slowest runner in the t 19 ! After a few weeks .I could run f 20 and longer. I was doing better and feeling better. Maybe I'm not a team sport person after all!
Finally, I tried kung fu. It's a great sport that exercises the body and the mind. You learn to follow instructions c 21 and do what you are asked to do. This is the fight sport for me! .I f 22 so confident that l even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it?
I hope you're OK! Write and let me know what you've been doing! Bye for now! Kristie
