9. Cape Cod Cape Cod, hooked sandy peninsula of glacial origin encompassing most of Barnstable county, southeastern Massachusetts, U.S. It extends 65 miles (105 km) into the Atlantic Ocean, has a breadth of between 1 and 20 miles (1.6 and 32 km), and is bounded by Cape Cod Bay (north and west), Buzzards Bay (west), and Vineyard and Nantucket sounds (south). The Elizabeth Islands are located to the southwest, and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket lie to the south. The Cape Cod Canal, 17.5 miles (28 km) long, cuts across the base of the peninsula, separating it from the mainland; it shortens the shipping distance between New York City and Boston by more than 75 miles (120 km). Cape Cod was named by Bartholomew Gosnold, an English explorer who visited its shores in 1602 and took aboard a “great store of codfish.” In 1620 the Pilgrims landed at the site of Provincetown, on the hooked tip of Cape Cod, before proceeding to Plymouth. The cape’s climate is influenced by its overall proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the presence of both the Gulf Stream current and the Labrador Current; the climate tends to be moderate compared with that of the mainland, with warmer winters and cooler summers. Plant life includes beach grasses, heath, and trees such as white cedar, red maple, pitch pine, and beech. Shorebirds and seabirds such as piping plovers and terns are abundant. The cape’s favorable climate, scenic beauty, and proximity to the Eastern Seaboard’s major urban areas have made it one of the country’s premier tourist and vacation destinations. During the summer coastal towns and villages such as Barnstable, Bourne, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Falmouth, Harwich, Hyannis, Provincetown, Sandwich, Truro, Wellfleet, and Woods Hole become densely populated resorts and busy fishing ports. There is a major oceanographic institution at Woods Hole, established in 1930. An airport and summer ferries link Provincetown, the northernmost town, to Boston; ferries also connect Provincetown and other points on the cape with Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, both also major tourist and vacation destinations. The economy of Cape Cod is boosted by Otis Air National Guard Base (in Bourne, Mashpee, and Sandwich). Limited farming produces extensive crops of cranberries, as well as asparagus. 17. The Cape Cod is surrounded by the followings EXCEPT ______.

A、The Cape Cod canal.

B、Cape Cod Bay.

C、Buzzards Bay.

D、Vineyard and Nantucket sounds.

It was low tide on Cape Cod, and coastal naturalist Dick Hilmer was getting his feet wet a
half mile off the Brewster shoreline. "Cape Cod was formed by glaciers 18,000 years ago," he told his small audience of journalists. "A mile-high sheet of ice moved down from the top of the world, and as it dropped rocks they formed the Cape. As the glacier went north, a mile and a half of sand dropped into Cape Cod Bay".

And that is why current visitors to the Cape can walk so far out on the tidal flats at low tide, and stroll along 40 miles of sandy beaches that are now part of the U.S. National Seashore. As we walked, Hilmer pointed out the life all around us, from strands of sea lettuce to hermit crabs to periwinkles. The kids picked up razor clams, quahogs and other ephemera, some of it delightfully alive.

Red tide (Alexandrium fundyense) on the Cape and north as far as Isle au Haut in Maine caused great damage to many of these sea lives in 2005. It was the most widespread outbreak since 1972. Red tide produces a potent neurotoxin that accumulates in the tissue of bivalves (双壳类), and while it doesn't harm its host it can cause paralysis or respiratory problems for seafood fans. Many clam, oyster and mussel beds were shut down as a result. It's unclear what causes the phenomenon.

Cape Cod extends 65 miles out into the Atlantic, making its tip the easternmost point in the U. S.. It's shaped like a bending arm, and it covers 399 square miles with 15 distinct towns. Brewster is in the Lower Cape, on the bay side of the Cape's elbow. It's home to Ocean Edge, a rambling resort hotel that employs Hilmer to teach visitors about the natural history of the region.

Ocean Edge was originally a lavish private home owned by the Nickerson family. Built in 1890 and then rebuilt after a 1906 fire. But now it throws its doors open to vacationing families.

Ocean Edge has its own 18-hole golf course (being renovated by Nicklaus Design), bike trails, tennis courts, swimming pools and private beach). The 335-room facility is undergoing a $5 million improvement project this year, with the aim of making it attractive to visitors in the "shoulder" seasons around the high months of July and August. Two-day "Explore" hotel packages, including a pair of whale watch tickets and breakfast are $464 to $664, depending on the season.

The length of Cape Cod is ______.

A．399 miles

B．a mile

C．40 miles

D．65 miles

听力原文： More than 50 pilot whales beached themselves on a stretch of Cape Cod sand Monda
y and nine of them died before vacationers and other volunteers could push the animals back out to deeper water in a feverish rescue effort. Hundreds of vacationers lined a quarter-mile of Chapin Beach and watched as rescuers tended to the small, glistening black whales, first discovered stranded about 6 a.m. One of the whales was dead when rescuers arrived. Seven others died after spending hours in the hot sun. Their bodies were taken away in a dump truck while volunteers poured buckets of water over to keep them moist. The rising tide at midday helped volunteers push the remaining 46 whales into water deep enough for the animals to swim on their own.

According to the news, how many pilot whales eventually died before they were rescued？

A．15.

B．7.

C．8.

D．6.

The First Navigational Lights

In the New World the first navigational lights were probably lanterns hung at harbor entrances. The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid for and maintained by "light dues" levied on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. By then there were only a dozen of so true lighthouses in the colonies. Little over a century later, there were 700 lighthouses.

The first eight lighthouses erected on the west coast in the 1850's featured the same basic new England design: a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles. Since most stations in the Northeast were built on rocky eminences, enormous towers were not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick, others of wood or metal. Some stood on pilings or stilts; Some were fastened to rock with iron rods. Farther south, from Maryland through the Florida Keys, the coast was low and sandy, it was often necessary to build tall towers there, massive structures like the majestic Cape Hatteras, North Carolina lighthouse, which was lit in 1870. At 190 feet, is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.

Notwithstanding differences in appearance and construction, most American lighthouses shared several features: a light, living quarters and sometimes a bell (later, a foghorn). They also had something else in common, a keeper and usually, the keeper's family. The keeper's essential task was trimming the lantern wick in order to maintain a steady, bright flame. The earliest keepers came from every walk of life ; they were seamen, farmers, mechanics, rough mill hands and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouses was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board, an agency of the Treasury Department, the keeper gradually became highly professional.

What is the best title for this passage？

A．The Life of a Lighthouse Keeper

B．The Modern Profession of Lighthouse Keeping

C．Early Lighthouse in the Unites States

D．The Lighthouse on Little Brewster Island

听力原文： Time was when a visit to a museum included shopping for a postcard or an exhibition catalogue. Nowadays, most art institutions have expanded their wares to include home furnishings, jewelry, clothing, toys and books. While it might enhance the museum experience, selling all those products can become a distraction for administrators, taking away time and money from their primary business: exhibiting works of art. If that weren't trouble enough, retail operations, intended to supplement museum admissions, don't always end up in the black.

Last year, to try to solve the problem of doing art and commerce profitably, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (MFA) became one of the first museums in the country to spin off the management of its retail operations into a for-profit company, Museum Enterprise Partners Inc. (MEP). Owned by the MFA and senior management, MEP replaced the museum's 30-year-old Enterprise division and the MFA became its first client. From its offices in Boston's South End, MEP operates both the main MFA store and an exhibition store inside the museum, two mall stores in downtown Boston at Copley Place and Faneuil Hall, the MFA catalogue and Web site, the catalogue outlet store on Cape Cod and a wholesale/corporate division. To handle distribution and fulfillment, MEP has a state-of-the-art 100 O00-square-foot warehouse in Avon, Mass., which includes an 85-seat call center.

What is the primary business for a museum, according to the speaker？

A．Selling home furnishings.

B．Showing works of art.

C．Exhibiting books and toys.
