Bonnano Pisano, the
22、 engineer in charge, tried to correct the lean by making the new stories slightly taller on the short side, only to find that the added marble caused the Tower to sink still further. Work was suspended several times as engineers sought fresh solutions, until the Tower was finished in the 14th centur
23、y, still leaning. The construction, begun in 1174, nearly took 200 years.In modern times the structure has been several times strengthened by cement, but to this day it is still in danger of collapse. Various schemes have been under consideration for saving, it. To rebuild an upright tower would be
24、easy enough for modern engineering, but it would not be the same edifice as people love and remember it. The Leaning Tower must be left leaning, saved, not reconstructed. There is nothing really wrong with a leaning tower after all, Galileo climbed to the top and did his experiment by throwing down
25、weights. In the meantime, the Tower has been closed to the public since 1990.（分数：3.00）(1).When did the Tower begin to lean?（分数：1.00）A.At the beginning of its construction.B.In the middle of its construction.C.When the construction was finally finished.D.Nobody knows about it.(2).What is NOT true abo

27、es of the lean.B.People agree that Leaning Tower must be reconstructed.C.People have not given up the idea to save Leaning Tower.D.Galileo did the experiment and did harm to the Tower.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Attitudes to leisure have been much influenced by the modern love of moving around and by the
28、 ease of travel.The British enjoy the family outing. Most people choose well-known beauty spots, or seaside beaches. Others choose a lonely place, where there are very few people. They may follow tracks between the mountains and lochs and watch seals and seabirds.Food in British hotels and restauran
29、ts is reasonably cheap, but hotel rooms are not. The English people rent house or flats for their holidays, but one of the traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding house. A house like this may have a card in its window advertising bed and breakfast. In seaside towns there are w
30、hole streets of houses, almost every one of which has such notice in window.In recent years several new holiday habits have developed. Among them; the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps. They consist usually of great numbers of small, and often quite comfortable, subur
31、ban houses, together with central dining halls, dancing halls and swimming pools. Camping holidays with tents are not so well developed in England as in France.

34、ish people to spend a holiday.(4).What is NOT true about holiday camps?（分数：1.00）A.It is one of the new holiday habits.B.It is a very interesting way of spending holiday.C.Camping holidays with tents are very popular in England.D.The summer weather in England is not fit for camping with tents.十、Text
35、3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Getting a new PC is one thing. Keeping it running smoothly is quite another. While a personal computer should continue to perform well for years, users know that system unsteadiness (不稳定性) does exist. Yet you can reduce it to the smallest amount by following the tips below.First, put
36、 in as little software (软件) as possible. Youll have fewer software-related problems and a system that is easier to manage.Second, you should ensure (确保) that you have as much memory (RAM) in your PC as you need. If you run Windows 98, your computer should have at least 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM and
37、more. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM if you use Windows NT or Windows 2000, but these operating systems will run much more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more.Third, make sure you buy good hardware (硬件). No-name products may be cheaper and sometimes just as good as name-brand products
38、, but name-brand products usually become well-known because Windows will more often support the hardware that you buy. If you are starting out with computers, its also a good idea to buy ready- made systems from major manufactures (制造商). They are likely to have been tested thoroughly with your opera
39、ting system, and you will generally experience fewer problems.Fourth, do prepare for disaster. No matter how well your system runs when you get it, the day will come when it will need to be replaced. Hopefully (但愿), you will replace it because technology has become out-dated, but you may need to rep
40、lace it also because the hard drive crashes (毁坏) or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. Thats why its important to copy your important information regularly. Whether you use a tape backup device or a CD-ROM drive, its important to make a regular backup plan and stick to it.（分
41、数：5.00）(1).If you want to use Windows 2000, but your computer only has 64 MB, what will you have to do?（分数：1.00）A.Enlarge its RAM to at least 256 MB.B.Put in good software in your computer.C.Enlarge its RAM to at least 128 MB.D.Buy a new computer.(2).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数
42、：1.00）A.No-name hardware can never be as good as name-brand hardware.B.You are advised to buy read-made systems from major manufactures.C.Youd better not put in a lot of software.D.Computer systems are not always so steady.(3).How many pieces of advice does the writer give us?（分数：1.00）A.Three.B.Two.
43、C.One.D.Four.(4).It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.（分数：1.00）A.your computer will always keep safe the important informationB.computer problems are easy to deal withC.you will have to replace your computer system sooner or laterD.you must change your system regularly(5).What is the ma

45、ems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use
46、 it were the Chinese, way back in the 1th century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East, in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used
47、 only by royalty or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.Dur
48、ing the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella
49、was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It was not until the twentieth century that women s umbrella began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.（分数：4.00）(1).Which of the following in NOT true about the umbrella?（分数：1.00）A.No one exactly knows who is the inventor of the umbrella.B.The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.C.The um
