The construction of the bridge finally began in 1933. The construction work set new standards for safety----workers were among the first required to wear hard hats, and an innovative（革新的）safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built. The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937, which was finished ahead of schedule.Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the bridge project. However, he had little experience with the construction of suspension（悬浮）bridges. For this reason, other engineers, architects, and designers made great contributions to the design and construction of the bridge. For example, the bridge owes its art style and unique orange color to the architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. Charles Alton Ellis was the main engineer on the project and did much of the technical work necessary to build the bridge.Today, the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet and a total length of 8,981 feet, making it one of the longest bridges in the world. The bridge is 90 feet wide, and its span is 220 feet above the water. The towers supporting the huge cables (巨缆) rise 746 feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait, making them 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. About 40 million cars cross the bridge every year. There are foghorns（雾角）to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraft beacons（信号灯）on the tops of the towers to stop planes from crashing into them.21The purpose of the passage is to _______.A. describe the construction work of the Golden Gate BridgeB. introduce the engineers in charge of the Golden Gate BridgeC. tell us the history of the Golden Gate BridgeD. introduce the Golden Gate Bridge22 Safety innovations during the construction of the bridge included ________.A. foghorns hard hats and a safety netB. aircraft beaconsC. hard hats and a safety netD. all of the above23 It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A.

Everybody wants to findout if December 21, 2012 is the last day of the earth. The rumorhas already been spreading for a very long time. The Mayan’sprediction can account for the rumor. According to the rumor, theearth will experience dramatic changes in 2012 and the changeswill be disastrous to all of the living creatures on earth. It iswidely assumed that a Planet X will return to orbit the solar system. The return of Planet X will have a destructive effect on the solar system as well as on some planets including the Neptune, the Jupiter and the earth. Planet X will cross into their orbits. There’s a possibility that Jupiter will change into a little sun at this time, so folks will be well placed to see two suns in the sky in 2012.The solar flares (耀斑) that occur in a 11-year cycle will reach their highest point in 2012. The powerful solar flares will affect the magnetic field of the earth and cause disasters. On December 21, 2012, the sun and the earth will line up in the same line at the equator(赤道). The winter solstice(冬至) only occurs once every 25,800 years. The events in the universe are signals that the world will come to an end. As a result of the solar flares, lots of disasters will happen that will destroy the face of the whole earth. Scientists are making the guess primarily based on the Mayan Long Count Calendar.Many films have been made about the end of the world including End Game by Alex Jones and End Clock: Nostradamus 2012. The former provides insights about the way the world will become one state. After the world government is in place, it’s going to be easy to exterminate 80% of the people in the world. The rest will continue to live with assistance from advanced technology.No one knows whether the world will end on December 21, 2012: There is no clear answer until the day arrives. Just as the Mayans claim, it will not be the time for the world to end. Instead, it will be the dawn of a fresh start.33. What is the passage mainly about?A. Destructive effects of the end of the world.B. Different opinions about end-of-the-world predictions.C. Some doubts about end-of-the-world predictions.D. Information about end-of-the-world predictions.34 The underlined word “exterminate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________”.A. killB. saveC. helpD. rule35. What is the author’s attitude to the rumor that the world will end?A. Unconcerned. .B. Sad.C. OptimisticD. Scared.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
