A tour of the Wuyi Mountains in the northwest of Fujian Province is well worth your time. This place has clear rivers, beautiful forests on hills and peaceful villages. The UN honored much of Wuyi in 1999. Since then, more and more tourists have visited it and some have used air travel to get there. But you will be glad to know that it is still a special quiet place to see. Yunufeng, or Jade Lady Peak, is as beautiful as ever. Jiuquxi, a river in the shape of a snake in the southwestern part of the Wuyi Mountains, is still green and clear as it travels nearly ten kilometers to the flats (平地) below. On the river you can see many high hills or stop to climb a rock staircase to the top of Tianyoufeng. From there you might stand in a light warm rain as you look out over the beautiful valleys (山谷) below. Clouds come and go among the mountains and into the valleys. Birds sing cheerfully in the forest, perhaps calling out names from long ago. In another part of the river you can take a boat down a whitewater but be sure to wear a T-shirt and shorts as you will get wet! If you need to wear glasses, tie them to your head. Don’t change your mind about going down the river! Be brave! Some guides will help you on the boat and take care of you on the river. You can watch the green water become white as it begins to move more rapidly. You will probably feel both excited and nervous, but enjoy the ride! When your journey is finished, don’t forget to go to the village nearby and try the famous Wuyi rock tea. Then you can have a rest and think about the trip.

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bicycles to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.

For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes（車道） for bicycles only on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.

But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.

The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest place of open ground in New York—is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only.

But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.

56. In New York , a group of bike riders______.

A. are keeping practising for health

B. have no cars of their own

C. are complaining（埋怨） there are not enough buses

D. are trying to settle the problem of air pollution

57. The bike riders suggest that______.

A. bicycles should be used instead of cars

B. bicycle lanes should be drawn

C. fewer buses or cars should be used

D. the number of special lanes should be increased

58. The advantage of the special lanes is that______.

A. they will make cars and buses run slowly

B. they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks

C. they will make the city more beautiful

D. the lanes will prevent accidents

59. The government has not decided whether special lanes should be drawn______.

A. so that everyone is disappointed

B. because there are different opinions

C. because most people travel by train

D. because Bike for a Better City is not strong enough

     Opened  on  October, 27,  1907 and completed in 1908, Union Station (聯(lián)盟火車站) is considered to be one of the finest examples of the Beaux-Arts (古典裝飾的)  style of architecture.  Architect Daniel Buraham designed the building.

     At the time it was built, Union Station covered more ground than any other buildings in the United States and was the largest train station in the world.  In many ways, Union Station was a city within a city. At various times it employed a staff of over 5,000 people and provided hotel, ice house, first-class restaurant and police station.

     As train travel was the means of transportation for even US Presidents in the early 1900s, a Presidential Suite (總統(tǒng)套間)  was added to Union Station. In 1909, President Taft was the first President to use the room and over the years many famous people were officially welcomed there. The last President to use the Presidential Suite was President Eisenhower.

     For half a century and through two world wars, Union Station served Washington and the US as a major center of transportation and the place for many historic events.  On April 14, 1945,  a train backed into Union Station carrying the casket (棺材) of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

     However, the air travel led to a decline in railroad passengers, and Union Station began to fall into disuse. In 1968, the decision was made to change it into the "National Visitor Center". The project opened in July 4, 1976 but failed to draw enough crowds to sustain（=keep up） its operation, and was closed in 1978.

     While Congress debated the future of Union Station, rain damage caused parts of the roof to fall down. Following three years of repair at a cost of $160 million, Union Station reopened on September 29, 1988.

     Today, Union Station continues to make history as the most visited place with over 29 million visitors a year. World-class exhibitions and international cultural events are hosted there for the public to enjoy. Private special events are celebrated in the grand halls. Even today, US Presidents still visit Union Station.

68. What is the passage mainly about?

    A. Introduction to Union Station.    B. Architecture in the US.

    C. Train stations in the US.        D. Transportation in the US.

69. Place the following events in the correct order.

    a. Union Station reopened.

    b. President Taft used the Presidential Suite.

    c. The decision was made to change Union Station into the "National Visitor Center".

    d. The construction of Union Station was completed.

    A. cdba        B. dacb        C. dbca        D. acbd

70. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 implies that _______.

    A. Union Station was a symbol of the US

    B. Union Station was of no use

    C. the government was unwilling to waste money on Union Station

    D. Union Station was not rebuilt immediately

71. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

    A. Union Station is still the largest train station in the world.

    B. Union Station made great contributions to the United States.

    C. The repair work of Union Station lasted several years.

    D. Union Station is popular in the US nowadays.
