ATaj Mahal, Agra, IndiaAs many as 28 different varieties of semi-precious and precious stones were used to decorate the outside of the Taj Mahai. Construction of the Taj Mahai took around 20 years, beginning in around 1632 and finishing around 1653. Exact dates are unknown. The building, which was made from white marble from the quarries(采石场)of Rajasthan, appears pink in the morning, white in the day and golden in the moonlight. The building is symmetrical (对称) in every way, and was built as a memorial to the wife of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Completion date: 1653.Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Akashi Strait, JapanIt took 2 million workers 10 years to construct the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. It connects the city of Kobe, on japan's mainland, with Iwaya on Awaji Island. Before it opened, the only way to get between the two cities was by ferry. However, the waterway was often stricken by severe storms and when two ferries turned over in 1955, killing 168 people, public anger convinced the government of the need for a bridge. It's 1,991 meters long. Completion date: April 5, 1998.Panama Canal, PanamaMore than 4.5 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of this canal's locks and dams. The Panama Canal is a 77-kilometer long waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The earth and rubble excavated to make way for it would have been enough to bury Manhattan to a depth of four meters. A series of locks allows shipsto pass through the water; each of the moveable lock doors weighs 750 tons and each of the locks fills with 52 million gallons of water to accommodate the 15,000 ships that use the canal every year. It was completed on January 7, 1914 after 10 years of building.Grand Canyon Skywalk, ArizonaThe Skywalks foundation is strong enough to support 71 million pounds. Located 1,219 meters above the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon Skywalk consists of one million pounds of steel and 83, 000 pounds of glass. It was the creation of Las Vegas businessman David Jin, who approached the Hualapai Tribe with the idea of a glass walkway over the Grand Canyon in 1996. The Skywalk was assembled (ERLE)on site, with the drilling alone taking over a year to complete. Completion date: March 28, 2007.21. Which of the constructions took the longest time to build? A. The Taj Mahal.B. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.C. The Panama Canal.D. The Grand Canyon Skywalk.22. The Japanese government decided to build the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge ______.

A. are airsick B. hate rock climbing C. have a fear of heights D. feel ill travelling in boatsBI decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form.The application form full of pictures of male explores arrived. The w ords “Are you man enough for the ultimate（极限的）challenge?” made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights.I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.I had revealed（显示）my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined — more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.24. How did the author react on seeing the advertisement?A. She got cross.B. She was determined.C. She got frightened.D. She was hesitating.25.

To inspire us to prepare for our future goal.B. To advise women how to turn to others.C. To make suggestions to her team members.D. To encourage people to explore the unknown.CLike “Titanic (1997)” and another record- breaking “Avatar (2009)”, the very firs t film to hit one billion yuan at China’s box office, both directed by James Cameron, American films are an unavoidable part and hold plenty of appeal for Chinese film-goers, including me. However, while American movies have gained great influence in China and become part of everyday popular culture, Chinese films have failed to win an equal amount of recognition in the U.S. market.Hollywood, known as a remarkable film production center, exported the biggest number of mainstream movies around the globe. Both its marvelous storytelling techniques and smooth production process have made it the most successful film industry in the world, gaining global acceptance. It has its own standards about the scriptwriting format throughout its filmmaking process while China has no such. Moreover, in Hollywood, a break during the production period is a must for all crew members whereas most Chinese film crew do not even allow their production team time to rest on the weekend.Besides production, content is another importa nt aspect of Hollywood’s cultural exportation. The United States is known as a melting pot, as it is a country of immigrants. Its culture, in a way, is more diversified than others’. And we can see an increased diversity in Hollywood movies over the years, especially since 2000. For example, in 2017, Hollywood blockbuster (大片) “Coco (2017)” tells the story of a Mexican boy who dreams of being a musician. Full of elements of the Mexican culture, the movie caused a global fever for Mexican music at the time. It also achieved great results in China, ranking as the 10th highest grossing (最高票房) film in the country in2017, with the box office being over one billion yuan.In contrast, China’s highest grossing film of 2017, “Wolf Warrior 2”, despite having created a new record in the country’s box office, did not get too much attention in the U. S. market. In fact, there is hardly any Chinese movie that has become a blockbuster in foreign markets. One of the reasons may be that most Chinese films only tell domestic stories with strong domestic elements, which is not wrong but makes it hard to attract foreign viewers due to the narrow themes.While seeking to tell Chinese stories that are able to gain global popularity is still2a question for Chinese filmmakers, fortunately, the technical aspect in the Chinese film industry has been improving thanks to the abundant cash flow in the market. When that day comes, more people will get a chance to learn more about China, one of the most beautiful places on the planet, which reminds me of the famous quote from “The Shawshank Redemption (1994)”, “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.”28．What can we conclude from the passage?A．Chinese films are not well worth watching compared with Hollywood movies. B．Chinese films are in a sense not as popular globally despite abundant cash flow. C．Who directed China’s highest grossing film of 2017, “Wolf Warrior 2” is evident. D．American films global acceptance is bound to worsen the Chinese film industry greatly. 29．Why do most Chinese films hardly attract foreign viewers?A．Because they have no knowledge of Chinese filmmakers.B．Because the Chinese culture is more diversified than others’.C．Because they only tells Chinese stories with strong domestic elements. D．Because in China there is no unusually successful hit like Hollywood Blockbuster. 30．What is the main idea of the passage?A．American films have gained great influence in China.B．How Chinese stories affect the American film market.C．The outline about the history and development of Hollywood.D．Why Chinese films fail to gain much recognition in the U. S market.31．What is the author’s opinion towards the present situation of Chinese films? A．Contradictory. B．Objective.C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.DDuring Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81,000 - more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where c hildren can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn a it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the ey es of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”32．Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A．To teach children how to ride.B．To ensure cycling is safer for children.C．To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.D．To organize the cycling contests in the city.33．Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?A．Important. B．Unnecessary.C．Difficult. D．Valuable.34．What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?A．She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.3B．She has won a contest about cycling.C．She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D．She has given proposals to the city mayor.35．What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A．Cautious. B．Favorable.C．Ambiguous. D．Disapproving.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
