[句式分析]　此句是复合句。what引导的是感叹句；第一个that引导的是限制性定语从句，先行词是a city，在从句中作主语；第二个that引导的是限制性定语从句，先行词是the earthquake，在从句中作主语。 [自主翻译]　多么神奇的—座城市啊——一座1906年大地震后重建的城市。 2．There are so many beautiful old buildings—many sitting on top of big hills，offering great views of the city，the ocean，and the Golden Gate Bridge.

[句式分析]　此句是复合句。which引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，不能替换成that。 [自主翻译]　同年，旧金山附近发现黄金，引发了淘金热。 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A San Francisco’s Chinatown is the biggest and oldest in the country.It’s the third most visited tourist destination in the city.It’s also the city’s most densely(密集地) populated neighborhood.So why are businesses in Chinatown struggling? In this week’s paper，I outline some of the reasons for why Chinatown’s crowded streets and busy shops might be declining.Under the surface，Chinatown is falling.And the city，local organizations and businesses are trying to figure out what they can do to turn things around. While numbers of people visit Chinatown，they don’t stay long and they don’t spend a lot of money.And beyond annual festivals，like Chinese New Year，this month’s Moon Festival and last month’s Sunday Streets—which drew about 15,000 to 20,000 people—the neighborhood has a hard time attracting locals. Can you remember the last time you went to Chinatown? If you can’t，you’re not alone.Locals told me that Chinatown doesn’t have much to offer them—that the stores are all the same.There are some good eating joints，people said，but they don’t know how to find them.Some people even told me that they sometimes go to extreme measures to avoid the neighborhood altogether.But when asked if they would like to see Chinatown gone，the answer was always a strong no. Locals are hopeful that things will get better and traffic will increase when the Central Subway is complete.But that’s not for another five years，at least.And if new shops or restaurants don’t make their way into Chinatown，the same problem of attracting locals will exist. Not that Chinatown’s going to die.The dragon still has some fire in its belly.And many people are rooting for positive change.The question is，how does Chinatown change without losing the very importance of what makes it unique? 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了旧金山的唐人街是美国最古老的唐人街，但是近几年一直状况不佳，这种低迷的状况令华人和当地人感到担心。 1．What can we know about Chinatown according to the passage?

C．Hopeful. D．Indifferent. 答案　C 解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段前三句可知，并不是说唐人街会消亡，有许多人在支持积极的改变。由此可推知，作者对唐人街充满希望。故选C。 B A nickname is a shortened form of a person’s name.A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a person，place or thing.Many American cities have nicknames. Los Angeles has several nicknames.One is simply the city’s initials，LA.It is also called “The City of Angels” because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish. Los Angeles often has warm，sunny weather.So another nickname is “City of Flowers and Sunshine”．New York is called “The Big Apple”．So Los Angeles is sometimes called “The Big Orange” because of the fruit that grows in that city’s warm climate. The American motion picture and television industries are based in Los Angeles.So it is not surprising that it is called “The Entertainment Capital of the World”．Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood.Millions of people visit the area.No trip to Los Angeles is completely without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelled out in huge letters on a hillside. Many movie stars live in Los Angeles.The city is sometimes called “Tinseltown”．This nickname comes from the shiny，bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry. Another nickname for Los Angeles is “La-La Land”，using the first letters of Los and Angeles.This means a place that is fun and not serious，and maybe even out of touch with reality. The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County.There are many smaller cities in the county.Beverly Hills，with its rich people，is one of them.So is Pasadena，with its Rose Parade each New Year’s Day. A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice，an area on the west side of Los Angeles.A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了洛杉矶的几个有趣的昵称以及这几个昵称的由来。 5．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
