第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the world's longest
sea-based project, comprises four parts: a 22.9-kilometer steel bridge, two artificial islands, a submerged sea tunnel extending for 6.7 kilometers, as well as leading bridges that connect the bridge to the cities.
For a bridge project, designers prefer to build all the structure on the ground, and only choose the tunnel when there is no alternative. However, for the HZMB, the most practical design is to integrate bridge, island and tunnel to form a complete cross-sea channel.
"The Pearl River Estuary （河口）holds a world-level shipping channel. Smooth traffic should be guaranteed. And the location is near the Hong Kong International Airport. With about 2,000 flights taking off and landing at the airport, the bridge cannot be built too high for safety reasons/5 said Meng Fanchao, chief designer of the project. “But you cannot have a submerged sea tunnel without any support. That forced us to build the artificial islands.”
Chinese engineers declared a trail in installing deep-immersed tunnel tubes.
6t There is no model for us to refer to as all the cases are shallow-buried tubes,9, said Meng.
"For lack of experience, the installation of the first tube lasted for 96 hours," said Yin Haiqing, deputy manager of the Project Management Department. ''Everyone was exhausted when we made it.”
The 6.7-kilometer tunnel is the world's longest submerged sea tunnel.
Two artificial islands, covering an area of 200,000 square meters, help create a smooth transition between bridge sections and tunnels. Different from traditional island, the engineers put 120 steel cylinders （圆柱）with a 22-meter diameter （直径）into the seabed, make out the shape of an island, and fill the island with soil. It is an innovative way they adopted to build the artificial island, making it firmer, more efficient and
friendly to the marine ecology.
The HZMB provides a fixed link between the two Chinese economic centres Hong Kong and Macau and the mainland of China at Zhuhai.
1、Why isn't the bridge built too high?
A．The bridge hasn't any support. B．It isn't safe to build it too high. C．The engineers lack experience. D．The engineers want to make it special.
2、What can we know about the HZMB from the text?
A．All the structure of the HZMB is built on the ground.
B．The 6.7-kilometre tunnel is the world's longest tunnel.
C．The HZMB is the first to install deep-immersed tunnel tubes.
D．The installation of the first tunnel tube failed for the first time.
3、What’s the function of two artificial islands?
A．To declare a trail in building a sea-based bridge.
B．To prevent the pollution from affecting the marine ecology.
C．To ensure smooth traffic between bridge sections and tunnels.
D．To guarantee the safety of the ships going through the estuary.
4、What type of writing is this text?
A．An advertisement. B．Science fiction.
C．An announcement. D．A news report.
22．（8分）I’v worked part time since taking early retirement ten years ag o. I was inspired by an older friend. We worked for the same company, and he retired two years before I was also considered “spare”, as some companies call it.
Soon after I left work, we had lunch together. First, he assured me that there was life after wo rk. Then he related his own experience. He didn’t want to take another
full-time job, so he turned his daughter’s old bedroom into a home office. He arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasn’t making as much money. His kids were grown-up, so he didn’t need as much income. “As soon as I left that job,” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to eat better and get more exercise, I ma ke half as much money, but I feel twice as good, and I’m twice as happy.”
I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger child almost finished
college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.
Our experience isn’t for everybody. But a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. Jack, another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. He had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. Later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life.
1、How did the author and his friends feel about their retired life?
A．It’s busy but wealthy. B．It’s flexible but tiring.
C．It’s healthy and happy D．It’s relaxing and wasteful.
2、What did the writer’s friend try to tell him at lunch that day?
A．He regretted not leaving his job earlier. B．He lived a much better life after retiring
C．He made more money after finding a new job. D．His life was not easy for him after losing his job.
3、Before Jack left his last job, he ______.
A．lived a busy life B．used to find part-time jobs
C．often traveled with his family D．worked hard as a real travel agent
4、What does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?
A．Health is more important than work
B．Y oung people generally live an exhausting life.
C．More retired people are paying attention to health.
D．It may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time job.
23．（8分）Is there a way to turn back the aging process in people? For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink its water, you will not age.
Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears that the answer may be called the hypothalamus, which is part of your brain. It controls important body
activities, including growth, the way we process food and so on.
Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural stem cells (干细胞) also influence how fast aging takes place.
Dongsheng Cai, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, was the leading researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings.
“Aging speed can be controlled by a particular place in the body, which is the hypothalamus. And it can be controlled by a particular type of cells, which are hypothalamus stem cells.” He adds that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body. So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging.
Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells.
The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals. “When we injected the hypothalamus stem cells to the middle-aged mice, the mice aged slowly and they can also live longer.”
But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the
anti-aging effects also work in human beings.
“If we can translate what we have seen in animals to humans, I think humans can function better during later age s.” Cai and his team say their studies may have other benefits. They say the findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of age-related health issues.
1、Why does the author mention the “fountain of youth” in the first para graph?
A．To explain what the “fountain of youth” is.
B．To introduce the hypothalamus.
C．To show how to find the “fountain of youth”.
D．To help people find the “fountain of youth”.
2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The brain. B．The aging process.
C．Hypothalamus. D．The stem cell
3、What do we know about the study done by Cai?
A．They have found a way to turn back the aging process.
B．The brain controls growth, reproduction and the way we process food.
C．The decrease of hypothalamus stem cells can lead to aging.
D．The finding has been applied to human beings.
4、Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．The Fountain of Youth
B．A New Discovery about Aging
C．The Ways of Slowing Down Aging
D．Hypothalamus—the Fountain of Youth
24．（8分）Among the international students in Canada who are struggling to find a job there after graduation, some of them eventually make it with relative ease. They're the ones who've already built up much internship (实习) experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a co-operative program.
Co-op programs, a feature (特色) of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience. During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.
Co-op programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University. These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors. Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the co­op program.“It's easy to understand，” said a senior education counselor. He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are well-known companies or local government organizations. Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as C$ 30,000 to C$ 40,000 a year.
Students can choose to work during vacations or term times freely. The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months for graduate s tudents.“The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immigration，” added the counselor.“That's because the policies of many provinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.”
1、What's the main characteristic of co-op programs?
A．They offer a variety of jobs in different fields.
B．They make academic credits easier to gain.
C．Employers work with students on their studies.
D．Students get work experience while at university.
2、What does the example of foreign applicants indicate?
A．Co-op programs are becoming more popular.
B．The average salary for interns will increase.
C．Co-op programs are open to all majors.
D．Companies welcome foreign students.
3、Which section of a website does the text probably come from?
A．Business. B．Education.
C．Lifestyle. D．Culture.
25．（10分）When you travel in South America, you'd better pay attention to the following three kinds of dangerous South American animals.
Piranhas (水虎鱼）
Although only a small number of piranhas are considered to be dangerous to humans, the red-bellied piranha is definitely one of those. Evidence has shown that a large group of piranhas can absolutely eat a herd of large animals crossing the river, leaving only bones. This fish lives in the freshwater streams of South America, and they can smell the blood from far away and launch attacks swiftly. It is said that they are only dangerous to humans if the water volumes are less and lower.
Anacondas (水蟒）
This South American monster of a creature often appears in the films or your nightmares! They have weighed over 230 kilograms. It is often considered to be the biggest snake in the world. You certainly don’t want to get caught alone with this snake due to its method of attacking and killing its victim. It is indeed a remarkably different brand of snake type as it regularly coils (缠绕) around all over its target, increasing the pressure until eventually its victim dies. Its jaws are powered by large muscles that produce enough power for its over 100 sharp teeth to pass through the thick skin of an crocodile. They don't have poison. Sometimes they prefer to camouflage themselves so they look like their surroundings and swiftly draw back when humans are near.
Golden Poisonous Frogs
The golden poison from might be the most-deadly of the South American animals, which is protected by means of poison. This very small frog, less than 55 mm in length, packs enough punch (效力）to take down of African bull elephants. This apparently harmless frog has always been known to have killed people who have touched it directly. It’s also been noted that chicken and dogs have died by connecting things on which a golden poison frog had wandered! In intense colors, they normally look attractive to their targets.
1、（小题1）What can we learn about piranhas from the passage?
A．Piranhas are the most dangerous animals.
B．Piranhas like to live in the deep seabed.
C．Piranhas may attack human beings when the water level is low
D．Piranhas only attack human beings when they cross the river in groups
2、（小题2）How does an anaconda kill its victim according to the passage?
A．It often uses its poison to kill its victim.
B．It often uses its strength to kill its victim.
C．It kills its victim mainly using its powerful teeth.
D．It kills its victim with the help of other snakes.
3、（小题3）The underlined word “camouflage” in Paragraph 3 means “”. A．hide itself by appearing like the surroundings
B．terrify and capture the enemy by making much noise
C．move around to search for delicious food
D．give off harmful gas to kill the targets
4、（小题4）Chicken and dogs are mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show that .
A．no animals can survive the poison of the golden poison frog
B．they like to wander along the path of the golden poison frog
C．the golden poison frog likes eating them most
D．the poison of the golden poison frog is deadly
