23．（8分）Over seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an expansion of the world famous Panama Canal. Officials agreed to the expansion so that many of the world’s largest cargo ships (货船) could easily pass through the canal. Y et the $ 5.25-billion project has problems. It says ships still continue to rub against the canal’s walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect bot h shipping and the waterway.
A dangerous system
The canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks (船闸). The locks are like steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.
With the old locks, which are still in use, large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal. In the new locks, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied to the back. These boats then guide the ships through the canal.
At first, pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to keep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (垫料) lining the walls.
Not enough training
Even before the expanded canal opened in June 2016, tugboat operators had expressed concern about the new system. Many asked for more training. The fears and dangers remain, although the boats are going through.
The Panama Canal Authority reports that, between June 2016 and January 2017, there were only 15 incidents that resulted in damage to locks or ships. That represents about 2 percent of the 700 times ships that have sailed through the expanded canal.
Pilots have argued they should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers (减震) like those used in some European locks. Officials say they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.
1、What is the main problem with the newly expanded Panama Canal?
A．It has cost too much money to build
B．The operators of the tugboats fear to work in it.
C．It is too crowded for the largest ships to pass through.
D．It still brings damage to the passing ships and its own defenses.
2、What is the difference between the new locks and the old ones?
A．The old locks don’t need rubber padding as defenses.
B．The new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.
C．The new locks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.
D．The old locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.
3、What is the Panama Canal Authority’s attitude towards the expanded canal?
A．Cautious. B．Critical.
C．Positive. D．Doubtful.
4、What can we learn about the current system of defenses?
A．No ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.
B．Nothing will be done at present to improve it.
C．More training will be given to pilots for it.
D．A new system will replace it.
24．（8分）If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day,think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year,a survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most,with the average female putting on 61b 3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 51b 20z.
The report into our eating habits found that,on average,we eat at least two snacks a day,with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men,with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research,by The Village Bakery,found biscuits are the most common vice,with 42 percent regularly opening a pack,closely followed by chocolate (38 percent),crisps (32 percent) and cakes (13 percent).
And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition,33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.
Simon Staddon,of The Village Bakery,said:"We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really shocked by the extent to which 'quick fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general well-being.Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such as biscuits,chocolate and cakes are high in calories,fat and full of sugar,all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain."
The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying, compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately,it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.
1、According to the passage,women usually put weight on first______.
A．on the face B．on the legs
C．on the feet D．in the middle
2、What's the main reason of eating snacks in the office?
A．Colleagues eat them to save money.
B．Staff use them to cope with their lunches.
C．Colleagues often bring them to office.
D．Bosses invite staff to eat them.
3、Why do office workers eat a "quick fix" lunch?
A．Because it has much of nutrition.
B．Because it has little effect on weight gain.
C．Because it has little effect on general well-being.
D．Because they have a short time to have their lunches.
4、It can be inferred that British women are______.
A．less likely to lie on snacks than men
B．more likely to lie on snacks than men
C．more ashamed of eating snacks than men
D．less ashamed of eating snacks than men

Today, Fabien follows in his family's footsteps to protect the planet's endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.
Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 2000-2002, he created a TV special called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916.

From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate
change and pollution are affecting the oceans. Fabien's Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (显露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘) of what lies beneath.

Love Tunnel sees lots of love and trash
Bearing a resemblance to the forest－surrounded “Love Tunnel” in Ukraine, the two­kilometer tunnel in Jiangning district Nanjing saw a recent rise in popularity as more than 2,000 tourists paid a visit every day this summer.The high number of visitors caused traffic safety concerns and increased the workload of sanitation workers.The Nanjing government had intended to cut the trees by the end of 2014.After the Nanjing government was forced to draft plans to cut the trees due to public pressure, visitors poured into a railway section that runs through thick forest for sightseeing and to take photos this weekend, leaving the railway with overwhelming piles of trash.
However, in response to the government's plan, complaints and outcries were made by the citizens that the love tunnel should be reserved.They claim that walking along the leafy green tunnel is like entering a fairy tale, and a possible decision to tear down the trees could bring the story to a pitiful end.

29、Nanjing government planned to cut the trees surrounding the “Love Tunnel” for the high number of visitors caused both safety concerns and pollutions, which gave rise to the objections of citizens.
I am totally in favor of the citizen's point of view that the fascinating love tunnel ought to be reserved.For one thing, it would be a great pity to put an end to the fairytale-like scenic spot, which brings peace and beauty to the visitors.For another thing, in a bid to solve the problem of safety concerns and pollutions, the authority could come up with a way to preserve the green corridor while also improving the safety of both people and trains.
Therefore, as long as the visitors and the authorities make joint efforts to preserve the love tunnel, it will surely serve as a marvelous tourist attraction for us without any concerns.
