The cornerstone of the White House was laid October 13, 1792, on a site selected by Presid

ent George Washington. Plans for the house were drawn by Irish-born architect James Hoban, who also superintended its construction. (Hoban also supervised the reconstruction of the house after it was burned by the British in 1814, and the erection of the north and south porticos some years later. ) The exterior sandstone walls were painted during the course of construction, causing the building to be termed the "White House" from an early date. For many years, however, people generally refered to it as the "President's House" or the "President's Palace".

The White House was first occupied by President and Mrs. John Adams in November 1800. Most of the building's interior had not yet been completed, and Mrs. Adams used the unfinished East Room to dry the family wash. During Thomas Jefferson's administration, the east and west terraces were constructed. Jefferson's also opened the house each morning to all visitors--an extension of the democratic simplicity he favored and practiced in his social life

When James Madison became President in 1809, his wife, the famous Dolley Madison, introduced some of the brilliance and glitter of Old World courts into the social life of the White House. Then, on August 24, 1814, British forces captured Washington and burned the house in retaliation for the destruction by American troops of some public buildings in Canada. Although only the partially damaged sandstone walls and interior brickwork remained, reconstruction of the building began in 1815. And the White House was ready for occupancy by President James Monroe in September 1817. The south portico was built in 1824; the large north portico over the entrance and the driveway, in 1829.

Throughout its history, the White House has kept pace with modern improvements. Spring water was piped into the building in 1834, gas lighting was introduced in 1848, and a hot-water heating system was in- stalled in 1853. During Andrew Johnson's administration, the east terrace was removed entirely. In 1881, the first elevator was installed. And in 1891, during Benjamin Harrison's administration, the house was wired for electricity.

When Theodore Roosevelt moved into the White House in 1901, its interior was a conglomeration of styles and periods, and the house itself needed extensive structural repairs. Congress appropriated money to repair and refurnish the house and to construct new offices for the president. (399)

This article focuses most clearly on ______.

A．the architectural beauties of the White House

B．early residents of the White House

C．improvements in the White House

D．the history of the White House to 1950

The great Alaskan explorer John Muir once wrote that to have dinner with a glacier on a su

nny day is an excellent thing. It is better to sleep beside one, on an Antarctic island, with just a sleeping bag for warmth and the sky as your tent. Our camp-out was in early January of this year on Danco Island, along the Antarctic Peninsula. Midway through a 10-day Antarctic journey, conditions were near perfect. We started our voyage from the Akademik Loffe in Zodiacs, landing on the wide beach with its fist-sized rocks. At the height of the Antarctic summer, the shore was clear of snow, with plenty of rooms for the 40 adventurers to spend the night. Daneo Island was charted in 1898 by the Belgian explorer Adrien De Gerla-che, who was the first to prove that you could overwinter in Antarctica and survive. De Gerlache paved the way for Lt. Robert Scotts first expedition in 1901. De Gerlache mapped the archipelago(群岛).He later named the island after his team member Emile Danco, a geophysicist who died that winter. For one year in the mid-1950s, Danco was known as a base by the British, who kept a scientific research station there, although all that remains of it is a foundation and a pile of coal. Our expedition was organized by Australian tour operator Peregrine Adventures. The weather was extraordinary-sunny with daytime temperatures of about 1~2°C. The camping was easy and accessible to all ages. Sleeping under the stars in Antarctica, in just a sleeping bag is pretty amazing.

Whom did Adrien de Gerlache have a direct effect on？

A．John Muir.

B．Lt. Robert Scott.

C．The tourists.

D．The author.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： Our sun is exactly an orange, dwarf star. Although it is not nearly the hottest star known, the surface temperature is about 10,000°F, and that of its interior is thought to be in the range of 20,000,000°F. We commonly think of the sun as burning; yet it is too hot to burn and is composed of elemental gases.

The sun is more than 865,000 miles in diameter and has a mass one third of a million times greater than the earth's.Scientists believe that it is two billion years old and, instead of cooling, is still getting hotter. Perhaps, within next two billion years, it will reach a temperature of sufficient intensity to destroy the earth.

The sun's halo is almost as hot as its interior. Its tongues of fire leap outward a half-million miles from the sun's surface at speeds reaching 250,000 miles an hour. Fortunately these tongues do not travel at their full speeds to earth ,nor are their terrific temperatures transmitted through space. Some of the energy from these disturbances does reach our atmosphere ,however, and is believed to changes in weather.

(35)

A．About 10,000 °F.

B．About 20,000,000°F.

C．About 2,000,000°F.

D．About 20,000°F.
