二、完形填空
London’s River Thames has twenty-seven bridges. Tower Bridge, the first bridge over the Thames as you travel towards London from the sea, is the 1 of them all.
The thing that is surprising about 2 is that it opens in the middle. It does this to 1et the big ships through to the Pool of London. If you are 3 enough to see the bridge with its two opening arms high in the air, you will never forget it.
Tower Bridge is more than one hundred years old. It was built in the 4 . By 1850, everyone agreed that a bridge across the Thames near the Tower of London. But the designers argued about the new bridge for about 5 thirty years. The argue lasted so long because of two problems. The new bridge must look 1ike the Tower of London—everyone said so. It 6 not look like a modem bridge. But because of the tall ships it was 7 to have a modem design.
At last. two 8 designers had the idea of an opening bridge. And they made it look like the Tower, so 9 was satisfied. It was a wonderful success. There was so much traffic on the river 10 the bridge opened at least twelve times a day.
Today big ships don’t come so far up the Thames. Tower Bridge opens perhaps only twice a week, 11 the same wonderful machinery is still working. It can still lift the two 12 opening arms—each 1,000 tons—leaving seventy meters for the ships to go 13 , and they can still open and close the 14 in one and a half minutes.
Things are changing now at Tower Bridge, but 15 happens in its exciting future, Tower Bridge will always be the symbol of London.

三、阅读理解
A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbour. Within a few days the whole neighbourhood knew the story. The neighbour was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible (负责) for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.
"Go to the marketplace," he said, "and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way
home, pluck (拔) its feathers and drop them one by one along the road." Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
The next day the wise man said, "Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me."
The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
"You see," said the old man, "it's easy to drop them, but it's impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn't take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong."

A. happy about

四、任务型阅读
Minoru Yamasaki was a well-known American architect (建筑师). He was born in 1912 in Seattle, Washington. His parents came from Japan. Minoru went to college to study architecture. Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college. Often he worked from four o'clock in the morning until midnight. He slept in a room with 100 other men. Later in life, Yamasaki remembered these times and was always good to his workers.
Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw. Yamasaki used a new design for the buildings. These buildings are now the Century Plaza Hotel, and Tower in Los Angeles, California.
Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He always designed buildings to please people. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.
Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. It is very famous.
In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸弹爆炸) in the World Trade Center. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.
Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings. They had to be built his way. He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job.
Minoru Yamasaki died in 1986. He designed more than 300 buildings. People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very long time.

六、短文填空
Americans think that t 1 is good for people. It can It can make them enjoy the beautiful scenery. From another point of v 2 , it can help one of the country’s worst problems - crime. Let’s see some d 3 .
Crime worries a lot of people. It may cause d 4 . Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with no parents or r 5 at all.
There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new p 6 . In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. In the e 7 , this helped them grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest”(幻想探究).
He takes young criminals on a long, long j 8 with horses and wagons (马车), 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year. The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.
It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. B 9 they can love their horses. That love can help them to start a new life.
Not all the young people on Vision Quest will l 10 crime behind them. 30 to 40 percent will one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 to 70 percent Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.
