阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案.
Three million people visit Pisa each year to see a tower. A look at the picture will tell you why. The tower leans! It is known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The tower looks as if it might fall at any time. Engineers say that the visitors are safe--at least for a while. But the tower does lean. It slants (倾斜) 14 feet 10 inches at the present time. The tower has been leaning for 800 years. And every year it leans a little bit more. If this keeps on, the tower will fall.
If you look at the picture, you will see that one side of the tower is deeper in the earth than the other. Why has this happened?
Pisa's tower weights 14,500 tons. A heavy tower like this must have a very strong foundation. The Leaning Tower's foundation is just not deep or wide enough for the tower above it.
Can anything be done about the tower?
Italian engineers have special plans. They don't want to make the tower straight--just keep it from leaning any further. So all the plans ask for a new foundation that Won't sink. But a new foundation can't be built while the tower is resting on the old one. The tower must be raised．One plan is to place 15 big Jacks (千斤顶) around the tower. They would raise the tower and hold it up while the new foundation is being built.
The Italian engineers are searching for the best plan to rescue the tower. They know that any plan will take a lot of money. But many Italians refuse to believe that the old tower is in danger. “It leans and leans and leans,” they say “but it will never fall down.”
The engineers want to make sure that it won't.
(1)Engineers believe if the tower keeps on leaning, it will fall ________.
[ ]
(2)The tower is leaning because ________.
[ ]
A．the foundation of it is not strong enough
B．it was wrongly designed
C．it was designed so on purpose
D．the tower was built carelessly
(3)The Italian engineers want to ________.
[ ]
A．stop it from leaning further
B．make it straight
C．build a new tower
D．move the tower to a safe place

More than 600, 000 tourists from the Chinese mainland visited Taiwan last year, fulfilling expectations despite the impact of H1N1 flu and the global economic downturn.
A total of 606, 100 mainland tourists visited Taiwan in the past year, with each spending nearly $1, 800 on the island, including accommodation and shopping, Shao Qiwei, chairman of the Beijing-based Association for Tourism Exchange Across the Taiwan Straits, said on Friday.
“We see good cooperation between tourism industries across the Straits taking shape,” Shao said. Since July 2008, when Taiwan first opened to mainland tourists, about 660, 000 mainland tourists have visited the island and spent $1.13 billion there, benefiting local transportation as well as the retail, entertainment and health industries.
In four months starting August last year, mainland tourists spent $65.72 million through Union Pay payment cards, figures from mainland bankcard association China Union Pay showed.
“Years of isolation between the two sides have made Taiwan an attractive place for mainland tourists,” said Zheng Lijuan, deputy (副的) general manager of CITS International MICE Co. Ltd.
But under the impact of H1N1 flu since May, the number of mainland tourists to Taiwan had also dropped sharply, leading to industry insiders（内部的人）casting doubt as to whether the goal of attracting 600, 000 mainland tourists to Taiwan in 2009 could be achieved.
Despite the unfavorable conditions, a string of relaxed rules last year have spurred (刺激) the interest of mainland tourists in visiting Taiwan.
In the past year, Taiwan has opened to mainland residents in 25 provinces, up from the initial 13 provinces. Relaxed rules have also allowed five tourists to form a group to visit Taiwan, instead of the initial requirement of at least 10 tourists. Mainland tourists can also stay in Taiwan for a maximum of 15 days, instead of the initial 10 days.
Combined with mainland business groups, more than 900, 000 mainland travelers visited Taiwan in 2009, Christine Lai, director of the Taiwan Strait Tourism Association, told China Daily.
Without releasing the goal for this year, Lai expressed hopes that mainland tourists would head to Taiwan on second or even third visits.
64. Why do mainlanders like to visit Taiwan?
A. Taiwan is a very beautiful island.
B. There are many shops, malls and bookstores in Taiwan.
C. The accommodation and transportation are very good in Taiwan.
D. Years of isolation between Taiwan and mainland makes it an attractive place.
65. What was the original goal of mainland tourists to Taiwan in 2009?
A. 660, 000 B. 606, 100 C. 600, 000 D. 900, 000
66. The number of mainland tourists to Taiwan in 2009 was fulfilled because .
A. the residents of 25 provinces could visit Taiwan
B. mainland tourists could stay in Taiwan for 15 days
C. the Chinese government made a string of relaxed rules
D. there were no impacts of H1N1 flu in Taiwan and mainland
67. We can infer from the text that .
A. there may be a goal for Mainland tourists visiting Taiwan in 2010
B. Chinese mainland tourists can stay in Taiwan for a maximum of 10 days
C. the global economic downturn had not influnced Taiwan’s travel industry
D. H1N1 flu had not made the number of the mainland tourists to Taiwan drop
68. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Visitors to Taiwan will slowdown
B. Mainland tourists to Taiwan hit mark
C. More and more mainland tourists visit Taiwan
D. H1N1 and global economic influence Taiwan’s travel industry

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
(A)
Fang Wei had planned to study in Britain for his master's degree,but had to keep putting it off. These days,however,Fang is quite happy about the delay since the exchange rate of the British pound against the RMB has been descending.
“The change means I can save a large sum of money for my studies.” said Fang. “I pay a lot of attention to the poundtoRMB exchange rate every day now.” Last Tuesday the rate broke the 10yuan mark for the first time since 2005.
So，what is an exchange rate？
This is the standard term for the comparison of two currencies and tells how much one currency is worth when measured by the other. For example,the poundtoRMB exchange rate last Wednesday was 9.88，meaning that one pound was worth the same as 9.88 yuan.
But how could this affect our lives？
The exchange rate is important for anyone wanting to travel to or study in a foreign country.
A higher RMB value is good news for Chinese tourists and students. That's because any given amount of RMB can be exchanged for a larger amount of foreign money than with a lower RMB value. It therefore buys more abroad.
For example,according to Chinese agencies that handle study abroad,the cost for university study in Britain used to be around 20,000 pounds a year. At the beginning of 2008，when the poundtoRMB exchange rate stood at 14,Chinese students had to have 280,000 yuan for a year. But now that the rate has fallen to less than 10 yuan，200,000 yuan is enough for a year in Britain.
However，the stronger yuan may be bad news for Chinese exporters. A rising RMB means that Chinese products are becoming expensive and less attractive on foreign markets.
56.Why did Fang Wei have to put off his study in Britain？
A. Because he didn't have enough money.
B. Because the exchange rate of the poundtoRMB was too high.
C. Because he didn't get the letter from the university he had applied for.
D. The passage didn't tell us.
57.What's the meaning of the underlined word “descending” in Paragraph 1？
A. Turning down. B. Putting off.
C. Falling down. D. Going up.
58.If the poundtoRMB exchange rate was 12, Fang Wei would have paid 240,000 yuan for a year's study. Now the rate is 9.6，how much can he save if he goes to study in Britain？
A.46,000 yuan. B.42,800 yuan.
C.192,000 yuan. D.48,000 yuan.
59 .When RMB has a higher value in the currency exchange market，the following are right except that .
A. it shows we have a strong economic potential
B. it indicates we have a stable political environment
C. it will help our export business
D. it is beneficial for Chinese students and travelers to foreign countries
