Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It’s also very foggy, so you may not be able to see clearly! U Bein Bridge, Myanmar This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it’s certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all! The Trift Bridge, Switzerland At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn’t have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you’d better do it quickly! The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It’s one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school — imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully! 【1】What can we learn about U Bein Bridge? A.It’s very popular at sunset. B.It’s safest for people to cross. C.It’s the oldest bridge in the world. D.It’s made from rope without handrails. 【2】One may not enjoy the views clearly on ________. A.U Bein Bridge B.Ai-Petri Bridges C.The Trift Bridge D.The Hussaini Hanging Bridge 【3】What do the bridges mentioned in the text have in common? A.All require serious repair. B.All top highest in their country. C.All have a history of one century. D.All require plenty of courage to cross.

We thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good. We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years. That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job. Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man.” “But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me---you’ll hate me,” he replied. I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy---as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”. I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family. We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us. 【1】The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that ________. A.they became closer as they struggled together B.they hoped to find jobs in the same company C.both of them had the courage to face difficulty D.they were trying to make their relationship closer 【2】Why was it hard for the author to watch her husband blame himself? A.She thought she should be blamed. B.She thought he had tried his best. C.She thought he would get a job someday. D.She thought it would remind her of sad memories. 【3】Which of the following can best describe the couple’s present life? A.Bitter but quiet. B.Comfortable and easy. C.Hard but happy. D.Well-off and relaxing. 【4】The best title of the text might be ________. A.We Have It All B.We Find It Again C.A Perfect Couple D.A Hard Time

New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees. A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas. The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis. Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co-writer of the study. He told The Associated Press, “This technology is thousands of years old-the dog’s nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey.” Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected (感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic (流行病) by removing infected trees,” Gottwald said. Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study. Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant’s reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants. Gottwald said, “You’ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ” 【1】According to the research, trained dogs can ________. A.help infected trees recover from diseases B.recognize a crop disease in its early stage C.cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual D.reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees 【2】What does the underlined part “new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.Infected plants. B.Fruit trees. C.Tiny insects. D.Favourite foods. 【3】Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants? A.To further prove the findings. B.To explore the plant diseases. C.To present different opinions. D.To discover a plant’s reactions. 【4】How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Indifferent. D.Curious.

It’s nothing new that you can find many files or services you can download or use from the Internet. The question is: Is downloading legal or not? In most cases the answer is negative, because sharing and downloading are illegal. Of course, you can find files for legal downloading, but you have to pay for them. It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isn’t. It should be compared with stealing in a store. Would you steal a magazine, an MP3player or a car? Downloading from the Internet is a theft, and sharing files, once you have stolen them, only makes it wore. For example, if everybody only downloaded, movies wouldn’t make money and the studios wouldn’t invest millions of dollars to make new ones. Many people may think it better, easier and cheaper to do downloading. I think, that is the main reason why Internet users prefer sharing something to buying them. In the modern world we love convenience and what could be more convenient than getting music, films and games without having to leave your house? You don’t need to pay for what you get, there is no registration, and you don’t have to wait until shops open or the CD/DVD you want is posted to you. However, you could be in big trouble if you are caught. You could go to prison as a result of acting unlawfully, but so far only a tiny amount of people have been charged for downloading illegally. The majority of people who download illegally, and use the files for their personal use, will not get in trouble. And that's why it’s important for people to understand what the long-term consequences are if they don’t want to pay for their music, films and TV. Will film and music companies still spend millions of pounds every year if they have no chance of making a profit? The answer is plainly “no”. Finally I would like to say that the Internet offers a lot of services for money, but people will always try to get them for free. To summarize my thoughts, I’d like to highlight that illegal downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity. You have to decide whether to buy or download. 【1】Many people download files free from the Internet because ________. A.they follow others’ examples to do such things B.they don’t think they may be charged by the producer C.they think everything on the Net can be shared by others D.they think it is legal, convenient and easy 【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A.Downloading helps movies become more popular. B.Downloading free files is as illegal as stealing. C.Sharing files on the Internet is dangerous. D.Sharing files on the Internet can make a profit. 【3】What does the underlined word “highlight” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Stress. B.Explain. C.Admit. D.Deny. 【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing this text? A.He advises readers to download legal files. B.He asks readers to limit the amount of free downloading. C.He wants to make it clear that downloading for free is against the law. D.He tells readers how to avoid being charged for downloading.

The Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well known as the Grand Canyon or the Statue of Liberty. 【1】. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont. with the official US -Canada borderline running right across the library's floor. Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as a tribute(悼念) to Mrs Haskell's late husband, Carlos.【2】. While the library’s official entrance is on the US side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side.【3】. The Opera House is similarly split, with most of its seats in the US and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the US with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage. Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell's website notes that the border inside the building“ is real and it is enforced”. 【4】. If they don't, they risk possible detention and fines. Even beyond the building's unique position,library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers-Canadian and American alike-consider the institution to be like any other library in the world “We’re just trying to be the best library we can.【5】.” she said. “These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey. ” A.The Haskell is full of mysterious places. B.The Haskell is divided between the two countries. C.Visitors have access to a variety of cultural resources. D.Visitors are expected to their side of the border after a visit. E.It’s undoubtedly one of America's most unique tourist attractions. F.Our community is made up of people from two different countries G.The family hoped that citizens would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”
