The Guardian described it as one of the “seven wonders of the modern world” . Construction on the HZMB began in 2009 and cost about 120 billion yuan. The bridge links Hong Kong and Macao to the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai, CGTN reported.The HZMB is unique in many ways. It’s designed to have a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges. It’ s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island. In one section the bridge turns into a 6.7-km undersea tunnel that passes through two man-made islands. The tunnel is the world’s longest undersea tunnel for road traffic, allowing large ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel.The bridge’s engineers had to think of many environmental factors in order to protect the surrounding environment while building the bridge.

He was a world famous scientist and expert on space and time. Stephen was trying to find the answers to some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?When he was a student at university, Stephen studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became very ill. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.”The doctors were wrong. He didn’t die. He couldn’t walk, but he used a wheelchair. He talked with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学).Because of his health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold about 25 million copies in about 40 different languages.Stephen Hawking made great achievements in cosmology with his studies searching the answers to the Big Bang and Black Hole in the universe, which brought him great fame as a leading figure in the science world even though he became totally unable to move in two thirds of his whole life.16.What did Stephen Hawking search for throughout his life?A.He studied philosophy and became a doctor at Cambridge University.B.He was so sick that he couldn’t walk and tried his best to search for his cure.C.He tried his best to search the secrets in science such as the origin of universe, and the end of it.D.He just wanted to tell the story of time in his book.17.How long did the doctors think Hawking could live when he was 20 years old?A.Four more years.

Many people have a special number and they hope that it will bring them good luck. In China, people think that, some numbers are lucky or unlucky because those numbers sound similar to some Chinese words that mean something good or bad.For example, the word for number 8 sounds like “making lots of money” in Chinese. So, people think it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend much more money to have 8s in their phone numbers. Do you remember the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing? It opened at 8: 08 p. m. on August 8, 2008.The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and it’s told in many Chinese ancient stories that the dragon has nine children. The number of 9 also means “long lasting”. In China, a man would send 99 or 999 roses to his lover with the wishes that the love between them will be long lasting.What’s more, Chinese think that the number 2 is lucky as it’s said that “all good things come in pairs”. For example, during wedding celebrations, you usually find pairs of red candles, double pillows and many other things in pairs and people often give gifts in pairs for someone’s birthday, wedding or other celebrations.So what’s an unlucky number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky numberbecause it sounds similar to the Chinese word “death”. Because of this, many buildings don’t have the fourth floor, and just call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors with the numbered 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. So, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 36 floors actually.21.What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?A.the shape of the numbers.B.the quantity of the numbers.C.the history of the numbers.D.the sound of the number in Chinese.22.Some people would pay much more money for ________A.the Summer Olympic Games.B.the phone numbers with 8s.C.the emperors’ robes.D.the wedding celebrations.23.Why would a man like to send 99 roses to his lover?A.Because he thinks that women love roses the best.B.Because the number 9 has a connection o the emperors of China.C.Because he hopes that he will be in love with the woman for a long time.D.Because he wishes that he will have lots of children with the woman in the future.24.In Hong Kong, you may NOT find the ________ floor in some buildings.A.50th B.35th C.46th D.17th25.What is the purpose of the author?A.To describe numbers and ancient stories in China.B.To introduce lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.C.To help readers find their lucky and unlucky numbers.D.To compare different meanings of numbers in different countries.三、阅读还原(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分)根据短文内容,从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Ihey help slow down and clean uppolluted water from the land and provide habitat (栖息地) for animals. You wil find wetlands in areas where water covers the soil or is near the ground surface for part or all of the year. Sometimes a wetland wil actually appear dry at certain times of the year! You can often tell if something is a wetland (40) the types of plants that are growing in it. Most of these plants, like cattails and swamp roses, are adapted to living in the water and can't live in dry soil for very long.Wetlands as sponges (海绵)The sponge will (41) a lot of water before it slowly starts to leak. The same happens in a wetland. A wetland will trap water that flows into it during a rainstorm and will (42) release the water later. This helps to prevent flooding.Wetlands as filters (滤纸)After being trapped by the wetland sponge, polluted water moves slowly through a wetland, finding its way around plants and through small spaces in the soil. While it moves, the nutrients are absorbed by the plant roots. By the time the water leaves the wetland it is (43) than it was when it entered. This is why many people think of wetlands as nature's filter system. Wetlands as habitatWetlands are home to many types of fish, amphibians (两栖动物), birds, mammals, and reptiles. These animals (44) the plentiful food, water, and shelter that the wetland offers. While some animals spend their whole lives in a wetland, many use it only for a particular time in their lives, such as for hatching eggs and raising young.Wetlands (45) to make way for farmland, highways, houses, and development of commercial sites like malls.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案,用A,B,C或D表示) (6分)When May got her first cellphone about a decade ago, one of the first things she did was go to her service provider's website and stock up on ringtones. And then her dad got the phone bill. When new songs came out, she would download them, but most of the ones she downloaded, she never really used, because most of the time she was in school or work.By about 2009, May lost interest in buying ringtones altogether. And she wasn't the only one. May's personal experience mirrors what has been a sharp decline in ringtone sales over the last half-decade.In the early- to mid-2000s, the ability to play a customized sound (定制铃声) for incoming calls ---was a fun new thing for people buying their first cellphones. Ringtones became fashionable. People scrambled to personalize their phones with the newest or coolest tunes.Mastertones made the ringtone an easy way to hear one's favorite music. People also could assign different ringtones to different callers --- say, “Take This Job and Shove It” when your boss calls, ha ha --- as a sonic form of Caller ID.The ringtone sales was a great barometer (晴雨表) of how people were starting to live around entertainment on their phones. We saw the market grow from $68 million retail in the U.S. in 2003 to about $600 million in 2006.But then the sales dipped. Despite the enormous growth of smartphones, mobile audio products such as ringtones and ringbacks (which is a song that plays while a caller's waiting for an answer) brought in only $167 million last year.So what happened?Two things: The interest of the musical snippets wore off. And we learned how to make custom ringtones for free.Musical ringtones could be costly. Costs for ringtones varied, but the 20-to-30-second snippets (片段) were often pricier than buying the whole song. Someone who updated their ringtones frequently could easily pay $20 a month or more.But with the rise of audio-editing software and free Web programs for making ringtones, users could easily create their own custom ringtones from songs they already owned.And as smartphones evolved, with their enticing menu of video, games, music and Facebooking, suddenly ringtones didn't seem so exciting anymore.There's another factor at play, too. Surveys have shown that as text-messaging has grown in popularity, especially among younger users, people don't make calls as often. So ringtones are less of a priority.Cellphone users may not think about them as much, but the gradual decline of the ringtone has been bittersweet for people in the music industry. It was a little sad. In BMI's early digital days, they made more money from ringtones than anything else. And now when you think about it, it's basically zero.60.After May downloaded her favourite ringtones, she .A.paid $5 for themB. sent the phone bill to her DadC. remembered to use themD. never really used most of them61.

Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers.

The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world (68) there.In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or (69) . Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have (70) effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, (71) oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of seacreatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch's effect on ocean environment.66.

Herschel struck fame in 1781, when on March 13th he discovered the planet Uranus (天王星) while engaged in work (74) a at determining stellar parallax (恒星视差). This being the first new planet discovered (75) s ancient times, Herschel, until then an amateur (业余的) astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, as King George III gave William and Caroline the titles of "The King's Astronomer" and "Assistant to the King's Astronomer”, an honor which came with a life's wealth for both. In 1782 they (76) m to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels (77) w on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied (投入) with the search for comets (彗星) at which she was quite successful, William became for a time keen on the Sun.

One of the most promising sources of renewable energy is solar power. Solar panels, whichconvert sunlight into electricity, are becoming more efficient and less expensive. This has led to a significant increase in the installation of solar panels worldwide.In the United States, for example, the number of residential solar installations has tripled in the past decade. This growth is not only driven by environmental concerns but also by economic factors. As the cost of solar panels continues to drop, more homeowners are finding it financially viable to install them on their rooftops. Additionally, many governments offer incentives such as tax credits and rebates to encourage the adoption of solar energy.However, solar power is not without its challenges. The efficiency of solar panels can be affected by weather conditions and geographical location. In areas with less sunlight, such as some parts of the northern United States, the efficiency of solar panels is lower. Furthermore, solar power is intermittent, meaning it is not always available when it is needed. To overcome this, many solar power systems are connected to the electrical grid, allowing them to store excess energy and draw from the grid when needed.Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of solar power are significant. Not only does it reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it also promotes energy independence and can help to stabilize electricity prices. As technology continues to improve and costs decrease, it is likely that solar power will play an even larger role in the future of energy.Questions:1.What is the main purpose of the passage?A) To discuss the economic benefits of solar panels.B) To explain the challenges of solar power.C) To describe the growth of solar installations in the United States.D) To argue for the adoption of solar power as a renewable energy source.2.According to the passage, what are two reasons for the increase in residential solar installations in the United States?A) The governm ent’s incentives and the increasing efficiency of solar panels.B) The decrease in the cost of solar panels and the need for energy independence.C) The growing environmental concerns and the desire for stable electricity prices.D) The government’s incent ives and the desire for energy independence.3.What is one of the challenges mentioned in the passage that affects the efficiency of solar panels?A) The cost of solar panels.B) The geographical location.C) The need for energy independence.D) The efficiency of the electrical grid.Answers:1.D2.A3.B三、完型填空(15分)Section Three: Cloze TestDirections: Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer for each blank.
