厦门大学网络教育2010-2011学年第二学期 《英语1》复习题 I. Reading Comprehension: Passage 1 In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statute of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S. independence from England.
