16、d leave Cerritos three times. Although the city is confusingly shaped, it is easy to tell where it begins. Overhead power cables abruptly disappear and run underground. The grass, watered by innumerable sprinklers, is a brighter shade of green. Indeed, a blind man could tell where the boundary lies.
17、 Crossing into Artesia there is a bump, followed by a series of clumsily patched potholes; a few hundred yards later you re-enter Cerritos and the road is smooth again.Cerritos cannot boast a glorious history, old money or natural beauty. Fifty years ago it was a flat area of farmland known as Dairy
18、 Valley. These days, “its a terribly unremarkable place on the way to Disneyland,“ says Tom Irish, a property developer. Yet this small suburban city of some 55,000 people has become remarkable thanks to superb management and geographical good fortune. It reveals much about why Americas suburbs are
19、so appealing, and how they are changing.Like an increasing number of suburbs, Cerritos is both a bedroom community and an economic engine. It began to prosper in the early 1970s when it encouraged car dealers to cluster near the motorway that clips its western edge. Fully 27 outfits now trade there,
20、 making it the largest such centre in a car-obsessed state. Cerritos also has a shopping mall and a “town center“, otherwise known as an office park. As a result, it has far more jobs than working residents. Last year the city collected $483 in sales taxes per personmore than the glitzy city of Sant
21、a Monica. And it has leased, not sold, its land, so a future stream of money is guaranteed.What goes on inside the offices seems less important to locals than what they look like. The city has municipal codes to rival those of notoriously staid Irvine, a planned city in Orange County: dont even thin
22、k about installing a rotating, blinking or oscillating sign. Sculptures adorn cardealers forecourts. Cerritos busy library is covered with titanium; its Wal-Mart is clad in granite. It has an opulent performing arts center that will host some 140 impeccably populist acts this year.Building work is u
23、nderway on the local jail, known for good reason as the “sheriffs hotel“. Although Cerritos has a contract with Los Angeles county sheriff for its policing, it pays for the building and the officers. They have some of the easiest jobs in California. So far this year 53 serious assaults have been rec
24、orded, a bit less than one per cop. The city is so peaceful, says Daryl Evans, the police captain, that gang members from nearby cities occasionally meet there to play basketball, knowing they will not be attacked by rivals.Of course, many American cities have built parks, performing-arts centres an
25、d fancy libraries while struggling financially. The key to Cerritoss success may be the timing of its investments. Cities such as Cleveland and Baltimore poured money into museums and other grand projects in the vain hope that they would lure businesses and young, creative folk. Cerritos began by bu
26、ilding pipelines and roads, then moved on to business parks, policing and schools (including Californias best high school). Only when it was rolling in money did it break out the titanium.Local officials attribute the citys success to fiscal discipline and the ability to follow a long- term plan. Th
27、at, in turn, is the result of its political culture. Cerritos has a tradition of powerful, long-serving city managers, to whom local politicians frequently defer. As Laura Lee, the mayor, explains,“There are many things we, as elected officials, do not understand.“ Voters, it seems, like this arrang
28、ement greatly. In a 2002 poll, an astonishing 96% of residents said they were satisfied with the provision of public services.Such single-mindedness is particularly striking given the citys diversity. In 1980 whites comprised more than half of the population. These days Asians do. Striving immigrant
29、s are cause and consequence of the citys excellent schools: in Cerritos High School, pupils who speak inadequate English score better in mathematics tests than those who speak English fluently. Yet the newcomers have not formed ghettos. The last census showed that whites and Asians were more intermi
30、xed in Cerritos than in all but 16 other American cities. Whites were even more mixed-up with blacks and Hispanics.These days Cerritos faces strong competition. Its car mall has inspired imitators; as a result, the value of sales has flattened while the number of vehicles sold seems to be falling. A
31、s the city ages, public services will come under increasing strain. Drastic decline is unlikely, but the city may be overtakenthough it is almost certain that the places doing the overtaking will be bland, car-oriented and suburban.（分数：5.00）(1).The word “sprawl“ in the first paragraph indicates that
32、_ A. the landscape of Orange County is of little variety. B. parts of Orange County extend untidily in different directions. C. Orange County is located in a plain of considerable size. D. Orange County is located in a mountainous area.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following does NOT serve as an
33、 example to show local peoples concern of Cerritos landscape? A. The local jail known as the “sheriffs hotel“. B. Grass watered by innumerable sprinklers. C. The library covered with titanium. D. The Wal-Mart clad in granite.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the fifth paragraph, we can infer that_ A
34、. the total number of cops in Cerritos is no less than 53. B. gang members of nearby cities enjoy immunity in Cerritos. C. the crime rates in Cerritos are relatively low. D. Los Angeles county sheriff is responsible for the expense of policing Cerritos.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following doe
35、s NOT account for Cerritos success? A. Superb management. B. Wealth of previous generations. C. Advantageous location. D. Proper timing of investments.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the passage, what impression can we get on Cerritos? A. Its geographic boundaries are of remarkably regular shape.
36、B. It is a thriving commercial center rather than a residential site. C. It boasts a lifestyle that is rich in art and recreation. D. It is one of the most staidly planned cities in the region.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、BTEXT B/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)At the Prado Museum in Madrid visitors can peer into the past in
37、 a new exhibit of 19th century photographs, which show artworks crammed on the walls wherever they would fit. Lithographs, paintings and plans chart the higgledy-piggledy development of one of Europes best-loved art-treasure troves.Similarly, Londons British Museum opened a new Enlightenment Gallery
38、 this year to celebrate the historic role of museums as centers of learning, displayingamong other thingsintricate catalogs of 17th century botanical specimens.While such exhibits enshrine the past, ambitious new plans for the future are transforming the dusty halls of some of Europes most revered g
39、alleries. In Germany, Spain, Italy and Britain, museums are scrambling to create bigger, more-dazzling exhibition spaces, smart new restaurants and shops, study centers and inviting public areas.The push reflects a shift in how the public regards its artistic institutions. “People want more than the
40、 old-style museum,“ says John Lewis, chairman of the Wallace Collection, a gallery of 17th and 18th-century paintings, porcelain and furniture in London, “We are driven to become more an arm of the entertainment and education industries rather than the academic institutions we used to be.“ New galle
41、ries will increase the museums current exhibition space to more than 160,000 square meters - not including the 13,000 square meters for cafeterias, restaurants, theaters and offices, all linked by tree-lined paths.No European museum expansion is more ambitious than Berlins restoration of Museum Isla
42、nd, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the city center. The $2.1 billion project slated for completion in 2015 aims to turn the island into the largest art complex in Europe, covering all the major cultures in six museums filling 88,000 square meters.The Alte Nationalgalerie, an ornate classical temple
43、 built in 1866, reopened two years ago, displaying 19th-century artists, including German Romantics. Renovation of the neighboring Bode Museum, with its collection of Medieval and Renaissance art, is well underway, and the Neues Museum is being rebuilt to house Egyptian and prehistoric works.There a
44、re even plans to reconstruct the adjacent Hohenzollern Palace to showcase Berlins extensive collection of non-European art. And British architect David Chipperfield has been commissioned to create a striking new entrance to the whole complex.These institutions are hoping to repeat the triumph of Lon
45、dons Tate Museum, which spent $243 million to convert a disused power station into a gallery of modern art. When the Tate Modern opened in 2000, director Sir Nicholas Serota described its creation as part of a “sea change“ in culture, with visual arts becoming the most popular creative medium. His r
46、emark has proved amazingly prescient: in 2002, the top two attractions among foreign tourists to London were the Tate Modern and the refurbished British Museum. A year after the Tate Modern opened, its impact on the local economy was estimated at nearly $200 millionfar higher than the $42 million th
47、e Mc Kinsey consulting firm first estimated the museum would contribute when it developed the business plan in 1996.Smaller galleries, too, are hoping to cash in. Italian Culture Minister Giuliano Urbani plans to transform Florences charming Uffizi Gallery into a world-class cultural destination. Wh
48、en completed in 2006, the “nuovo Uffizi“ will accommodate 7,000 visitors daily, nearly double its current capacity. “We will surpass even the Louvre,“ predicts Urbani.Expansion helps show off prized works to maximum effect. In Berlin, collections divided between east and west Germany are being united, and expanded ga
