A
Since it first opened after four years of construction in1937at a cost of$27million，the Golden Gate Bridge has made its appearance in films and poetry.
CNN Travel spent a day climbing into and ground the bridge，learning these secrets from the people who know and love it best.
Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge?It’s not golden.
“The Golden Gate Bridge gets its name because it spans what is called the Golden Gate Strait，”said Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz，spokesman for the Golden Gate Bridge，Highway and Transportation District，which operates the bridge.It’s a three-mile-long and one-mile-wide body of water that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay.
What color is the bridge?It looks red.
“It’s not red，although you’re not crazy to think so.Visitors all call it red，”said Russell.“Back in the day，the US Navy，then part of the War Department，oversaw the waterways and wanted to paint this bridge black and yellow for high visibility，”said fellow painter Jarrod Bauer.“They ended up mixing paint to create the color International Orange，which is similar to the color of red lead，”he said.
Does the bridge get entirely painted every year?
No，and it doesn’t need to be.It’s true that the top coat has been fully repainted over time with new and environmentally-improved International Orange top coats.
Who performs bridge rescues?
McVeigh and his fellow ironworkers，the so—called“Cowboys of the Sky”，have that responsibility.McVeigh has lost count of how many troubled souls he’s been called to rescue over the past17years.
In September in2018，the bridge started constructing a suicide(自杀)prevention system，also known as the safety net，to keep people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.It’s expected to
be completed in2021.
1.What’s the true color of the Golden Gate Bridge?
A.Red.
B.Red lead.
C.Black and yellow.
D.International Orange.
2.Who can probably be called a hero on the Golden Gate Bridge?
A.McVeigh.
B.Jarrod Bauer.
C.Russell.
D.Paolo.
3.What can we know about the Golden Gate Bridge?
A.It is safer now because of the safety net.
B.It got its name because of its color.
C.It took much time and money to be built.
D.It needs to be repainted once a year.

When the young donkey Daisy May came to us，she was pregnant.With no donkey
experience.I was unprepared for what might come next.
After some difficulty，Daisy’s baby was born.I thought the poor thing was dead.I planned to put the loss behind us and make sure she never got pregnant again.Just then，I heard a little noise.
I couldn’t believe that baby was breathing and looking at me!We called him Samson，and of course I became his mother as much as Daisy was.
When Samson was nine months old，I had to separate Daisy and Samson for a few hours a day to wean(使断奶)him，but otherwise he went wherever she did.I think she would be lost without him.His donkey stepdad Bernard taught him to always be ready to have fun.They enjoy playing football together and going for a roll on a hot summer day.
I asked a worker to make a harness(马具)for my three little donkeys.When I brought it home I taught them one by one how to pull a cart.Samson watched and freely followed Daisy.When he was three，I put the harnness on him and he knew exactly what to do.
That was15years ago.Now，the most exciting thing about Samson is that he has become a little renowned.People come from all over to see him perform.The neighbors bring their grandchildren，and my sons bring their friends.
Samson shakes hands，unties my shoe，picks up a hat and more.And when I ask him if he has any bad habits，he tries to pick my pocket!He surprisingly learned these tricks himself.I just ask him to do them and he understands.
The relationship I have with my“baby”Samson has been an amazing experience.Every day is
a fun day with this superstar donkey.

C
Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School，but poetry is still a big part of his life，now with a new teacher，Rafael Campo，who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work.Rafael is a physician，professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter(邂逅)with my patients.I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry.And if we do anything when we’re with our patients，we’re really immersing(使
沉浸于)ourselves in their stories，really hearing their voices.And，certainly，that’s what a poem does，”he said.
Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today：humanity，which he finds in poetry.To end that，he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents(住院医生).
He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients，and poems can help close that gap.
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars.She said.“I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does.And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.”Not everyone believes that’s what doctors should do，though.
Rafael said，“I was afraid of how people might judge me，actually.In the medical profession，as many people know，we must always put the emergency first.But，you know，that kind of treatment，if it’s happening in the hospital，very regrettably，sadly，results in a bad outcome.The family is sitting by the bedside.The patient hasn’t survived the cancer.Don’t we still have a role as healers there?”
In a poem titled“Health”，Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy.He says he will continue teaching students，helping patients and writing poems，his own brand of medicine.
8.What do we know about Rafael Campo?
A.He works as a doctor.
B.He is under medical care.
C.He is a literature professor.
D.He knows little about poetry.
9.What does the author try to show in Paragraph2?
A.The importance of medical training.
B.The effect of poetry in medical treatment.
C.The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.
D.The present relationship between patients and doctors.
10.What does Andrea Schwaflz think of poetry?
A.It comforts patients’family.
B.It contributes to medical work.
C.It has nothing to do with doctors.
D.It keeps doctors away from patients.
11.What is Rafael Campo’s view on poetry?
A.It requires a lot of spare time.
B.It can provide a useful tool for doctors.
C.It has little effect on patients’conditions.
D.It should be included in emergency treatments.

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第三段中的“And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting”可知，Andrea Schwartz认为诗歌有助于医生和病人之间的互动，医生和病患关系紧密就有助于医疗效果，由此判断出，Andrea Schwanz认为诗歌有利于医疗工作。

故选B项。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段中“Rafael Campo,who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work Rafael Campo(Rafael Campo认为诗歌可以让每个医生的教育和工作受益)”及最后一段中的“He says he will continue teaching students,helping patients and writing poems,his own brand of medicine.(他说他会继续教学生，帮助病人并写诗歌，诗歌是他自己的医药品牌。

)”由此判断出，Rafael Campo认为诗歌对医生来说是一个有用的工具。

故选B项。

D
A new device works like a solar panel，except that it doesn’t harvest energy from the sun.It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.
A prototype(原型)of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb.A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones.It also could power electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.
The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space.It then uses that difference to create electricity.As long as one side of it is cooler than the other，the generator can produce electricity.The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate.That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation(隔热材料) to keep out heat.The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate.That plate is warmed by the local air.At night，the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.
Researchers tested a20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford，California.The generator produced up to about25milliwatts of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diode，or LED bulb.Further improvements might increase its production to at least500milliwatts per square meter.To do that，the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.
The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices，says Aaswath Raman.He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California，Los Angeles.This may be useful in polar regions that don’t see sunlight for months at a time，Raman says.“If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness，this might be a way.”
12.What can we know about the new device?
A.It gains energy from the sun.
B.It’s been widely used in life.
C.It is cooler than a solar panel.
D.It’ll be popular in special areas.
13.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph3?
A.Application fields of the device.
B.The developing process of the device.
C.The working principle of the device.
D.Significant effects of the device.
14.How can the device produce more electricity?
A.By putting more insulation around the top plate.
B.By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.
C.By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate.
D.By covering the top plate with a transparent lid.
15.What could be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Device Using the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity
B.A Device Bringing New Hope for Those in the Cold Night
C.The Difference Between a Solar Panel and a New Device
D.The Temperature Difference Between Earth and Outer Space

文章介绍了一项最新的科研发明——反太阳能电池板，它可以从寒冷的夜空中收集能量，然后通过利用地表和远处空间的温差来产生电能。

目前的研究成果是它可以成功为一只小灯泡提供电能。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段的最后一句“It also could power electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.”和最后一段的最后两句“If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness，this might be a way.”可知，这种装置在一些偏远地区或缺电的地区帮助发电；另外，在极地地区数月不见阳光，这种装置可以帮助发电照明。

由此可推知，这个新设备在会在一些特殊地区受欢迎。

故选D项。

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第三段The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space.It then uses that difference to create electricity.As long as one side of it is cooler than the other，the generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate.That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation(隔热材料)to keep out heat.The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate.That
plate is warmed by the local air.At night，the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.该装置利用地球和外层空间的温差。

然后它利用这种差异来发电。

只要它的一边比另一边冷，发电机就能发电。

较冷的一面面朝天空，与一块铝板相连。

那块板被密封在一个透明的盖子下面，周围有保温材料来阻挡热量。

发电机的底部连接在一块暴露的铝板上。

那个盘子被当地的空气加热了。

晚上，顶板的温度比发电机底部的温度低几摄氏度。

由此可推知第三段主要讲了这个设备发电的主要工作原理。

故选C项。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段中“To do that，the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate”可知，此处To do that是指前一句“让这装置产生更多的电量”。

因此，该装置系统需要在上面的金属板四周安装更多的隔热材料才可以产生更多的电能。

故选A项。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

文章第一段“A new device works like a solar panel，except that it doesn’t harvest energy from the sun.It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.”一种新的装置像太阳能电池板一样工作，只是它不从太阳获取能量。

它从寒冷的夜空吸收能量。

点明了文章主题，结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一项最新的科研发明，这种科技可以从寒冷的夜空中收集能量，然后通过利用地表和远处空间的温差来产生电能。

所以短文的最佳标题为“利用寒冷的夜空发电的装置”。

故选A项。
