21、   The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), the major construction work on the world’s cross-sea bridge, which connects Zhuhai in Guangdong Province with Hong Kong and Macao, was completed on Oct 23, 2018. Construction began in December 2009 at Zhuhai. The Y-shaped bridge starts from Lantau Island in Hong Kong with branches to Zhuhai and Macao.

More than 400000 tons of steel have been used for the 6.7 km undersea tunnel land 22.9 km bridge, enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers. British newspaper The Guardian named the mega structure ( 巨 型 建 筑 ) one of its “seven wonders of the modern world near completion.”

The bridge will cut travel time from Hong Kong to both Zhuhai and Macao from the current three hours by road or one hour by sea to a half-hour drive. It will bring people in Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong within a “one-hour living circle”, which is expected to attract more visitors to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The bridge will not only be a transport link. “It will be a social, economic, cultural, and tourism connection ( 联 系 ) among the three areas.” said Yu Lic, deputy director of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Authority.

Su Quanke chief engineer with the administration bureau of the bridge, said the project has made history in many aspects. “With a series of world advanced anti-erosion (抗腐蚀) and earthquake-resistant measures, the bridge can be used for 120 years,” he said. “If it were not for the progress of ‘Made in China’, we couldn’t possibly complete the construction in such a short time, The China technology and China standard set by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will influence ( 影响) the world market.”

【1】It takes China   to complete the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

A.8 years B.9 years C.10 years

【2】We can draw a simple picture of HZMB like   .

A.A B.B C.C

【3】British newspaper The Guardian named the mega structure one of its “seven wonders of the modern world near completion” because     .

B.the bridge is taller than the Eiffel Tower

C.The bridge is such a huge construction

【4】The third paragraph mainly talks about   .

A.the importance of HZMB B.the time to cross HZMB C.a one-hour living circle

【5】From the last paragraph, we can infer that Su Quanke is   of the project.

A.afraid B.sick C.proud

22、   Has anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark? This is just one of many incorrect beliefs you may have heard. Below, TEENS has picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes. Let’s take a look.

Can eating carrots improve your eyesight?

Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps the eyes to turn light into information for your brain. This allows people to see in darker places. However, eating more carrots won’t help you see better. A certain minimum amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman eyesight.

If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too?

Myopia(近视)can be passed from parents to children. A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are myopic, there’s a 33 to 60 percent chance that their child will be. For children who have one parent with myopia, the chance is 23 to 40 percent, and it’s down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-myopic parents. So if your eyesight is bad, your children might still have good vision.

Do color blind people see the world in black and white?

Color blindness doesn’t usually mean that people see the world like an old movie. They usually can’t tell certain colors apart, especially green and red. Another commonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue. Our eyes have cone cells (视锥细胞) that sense different wavelengths (波长) of light. If these cells don’t work properly, color blindness occurs.

There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only color blind in low light.

However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is shades of gray.

【1】According to the article, eating carrots_____.

A.stops the brain from seeing

B.doesn’t help you see better at all

C.will give you superhuman vision

D.is good for your eyes to some degree

【2】If both parents have myopia, their child’s chance of having good eyesight is_____.

A.40-67% B.33-60% C.23-40% D.6-15%

【3】What is the cause of color blindness, according to the text?

A.Watching movies for too long.

B.Getting too little exercise.

C.Cone cells not working properly.

D.Changes in the wavelength of light.

【4】What is the purpose of the article?

A.To offer some advice on protecting your eyes.

B.To clear up some misunderstandings about our eyes.

C.To provide help for improving your vision.

D.To explain how bad eyesight and color blindness form.

23、Experts (专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students — “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

【1】The 10-year-old boy begged for one more minute to sleep because _____.

A. it wasn’t time for him to get up   B. he didn’t want to go to school

【2】In this passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may _____.

A. go to bed early   B. be weak in English   C. not work well in class   D. fall illness easily

【3】In this passage “early birds” means — persons who _____.

A. get up late   B. don’t want to sleep   C. get up early   D. stay up late

【4】The underlined (下划线的) words in the passage mean _____.

A. not go to bed until late   B. stay outside   C. watch TV late   D. have sleep trouble

【5】According to the passage, which of the following is Right?

A. Sleeping less means working hard.

B. Students don’t have enough sleep because they have lots of homework to do.

C. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.

24、Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer. The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.

However, he went to work at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Nepal. His first thought was to make people impressed.

“I thought that if I volunteered just once, I could retell the story over and over,” Grennan said in the Huffington Post.

However, his three-month stay in the orphanage turned into an unusual experience. It was in 2018 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year’s long around-the-world trip. His first three months were spent in Nepal.

When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children’s Home, he was faced by the excited children.

The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked (被拐卖的) children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids’ families. “I started walking with photos of the kids,” he told the Reuter’s reporter. “I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families.”

At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.

Grennan said, “Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives.”

He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.

Grennan’s fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.

【1】At first, Grennan simply wanted to _________ by volunteering in Nepal.

A．write travel stories

【3】From the passage we can learn that Grennan _________ .

A．found the kids’ families easily

B．was good at taking pictures

C．wrote the book Little Prince

D．asked others to go to Nepal

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Volunteering changes a lot

B．Volunteering is with the kids

C．A volunteer becomes a writer

D．A volunteer travels in Nepal

25、   I have a photo album.  【1】 a present from my classmate—David.

I got to know David on the second day of middle school. We both liked collecting stamps, so we always had a lot of things to talk about. Once I traveled with him to his hometown in the countryside. He showed me  【2】 and I saw many interesting things. We had a wonderful time. It is really nice to have such a good classmate.

However, last summer, David went to another city because of his father's job. Before leaving, he gave  【3】 a photo album. “It has the unforgettable events we 【4】 experienced together. I have also written some notes under each of these photos，” he said. I【5】 deeply moved. I always look at the album when I think of David. I really miss him.
