　　Beijing’s Forbidden City is a place full of wonder. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts, there’s no wonder it’s one of China’s most popular tourist destinations.
　　But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s estimated that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes. And while most structures aren’t made to survive natural disasters, let alone ones built hundreds of years ago, it seems that the Forbidden City was built to withstand anything.
　　A recent television documentary by UK broadcaster Channel 4 explored the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese carpenters and engineers were shown building a scale model (成比例模型) of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one fifth of the size.
　　To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to the test. It was subjected to a simulated (模拟的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale – equivalent to the largest ever recorded quake – and survived. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.
　　According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong– a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets rough.
　　“Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant feature of classical Chinese structures because the framework changes in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography.
　　“Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures that were both enduring and aesthetically (在美学方面) pleasing using dougong, revealing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.”
　　The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and cultural significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter.
　　1. What is the article mainly about?
　　A.What has made the Forbidden City a popular tourist destination.
　　B.What has helped the Forbidden City survive so many earthquakes.
　　C.The characteristics of Chinese architecture during the Ming Dynasty.
　　D.A variety of building methods used in ancient Chinese structures.
　　2. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “was subjected to” in Paragraph 4?
　　A. suffered B. was controlled by
　　C. obeyed D. was affected by
　　3. What was the aim of the test in the Umentary?
　　A. To reproduce a real earthquake from the Ming Dynasty.

　　Unit 3 Inventors and inventions

　　Taylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.
　　Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.
　　We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason,　I pushed Tawny into a gallop（飞驰）. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.
　　Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right. I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was lick winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.
　　In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.
　　I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowed.  She gave me a high five. ＂Wow, you did well, ＂she said. ＂ I ’d go fast when you were ready.＂
　　No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to p my heels.
　　1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?
　　A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.
　　B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.
　　C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.
　　D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.
　　2. During the race, ___________.
　　A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole time
　　B. the author was confident that Tawny was in control
　　C. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lot
　　D. the author’s good performance took Taylore by surprise
