Many people went to visit it. The reporter from "Guardian" described it as one of the "seven wonders of the modern world".The Chinese began to build the HZMB in 2020 and it cost about 120 billion yuan. The HZMB is unique (独一无二的) in many ways. It is designed to have a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most of other bridges. And it’s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel (隧道) and part island. In one part, the bridge turns into a 6.7-km undersea tunnel. It passes through two man-made islands. The tunnel is the world’s longest undersea tunnel for road traffic. It allows larger ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel. That is really amazing. More importantly, the bridge is pretty solid. It can remain unharmed when wind speeds are up to 185 km/h. And the Bridge can also withstand earthquakes with a magnitude (震级) of up to 8.The bridge's engineers had to consider many environmental problems in order to protect the environment while building the bridge. For example, they care much about the Chinese white dolphins. They are living in this sea area and are now in danger. The engineers had to make sure that the white dolphins couldn’t be influenced when building the bridge. In fact, they did a good job.The HZMB will make it much more convenient for people to travel between the three areas it connects. It will cut down the travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai from 4 hour to about 45 minutes. By drawing local cities and areas closer together, the bridge will be helpful to the area's development. It is expected to drive the development of Hong Kong, Macao and nine Guangdong cities.25. What does the underlined word "solid" mean in the passage?A. High.B. Wide.C. Nice.D. Strong.26. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. the HZMB’s service life is about 140 yearsB. it took the Chinese over 10 years to build the HZMBC. the HZMB helps save 4 hours to travel from Hong Kong to ZhuhaiD. the HZMB can help with the development of the three areas27. What's the best title for the passage?A. South China’s great bridgeB. The world's longest undersea tunnelC. Endangered White dolphins in ChinaD.

He was 47 and his family's company had just been taken over by a larger professional company.Sixteen years earlier, he made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds did woefully when planted in the hot tropics (热带). He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybridvegetables to the area. The area wasn't suitable for these vegetable seeds which were developed for the moderate (温和的) climate of Europe and lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate.Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageningen University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold well. Then they changed a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables. The early successes led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. It is reported that the company's seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries, said Kenneth Quinn, the former U.S. ambassador to Vietnam.Of Groot, Quinn said, "He's a truly excellent person with worthy accomplishments that should be recognized."The award was stated during a ceremony hosted by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. "The improvements made in these tropical vegetable seeds helped small farmers in developing nations produce more food and importantly get more income for themselves and their families," Pompeo said.32. What does the underlined word "woefully"in Para. 3 mean?A. Well.B. Poorly.C. Normally.D. Scientifically.33. What do you know about the East-West Seed Company?A. Its business is centered in central Asia.B. It was started by Groot and local farmers.C. Its seeds have benefited many farmers a lot.D. It is changing the seed industry around the world.34.
