Britain's brilliant bridges have supported trade, brought communities together and are always the most exciting part of the journey. These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.

Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol

Described by its legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling"，  it was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-long toll （通行费）bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ 1 toll for every journey pays for its maintenance. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.

Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-Tees

A pedestrian （行人）and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly incredible at night. The arches （拱形）of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity（无穷大）symbol, thus inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.

Tower Bridge, London

An engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete. More than 120 years old, it's a popular tourist attraction, as well as a functional bridge. Visitors can take in the views over the capital, experience seeing London life through the Glass Floor, and visit the Victorian Engine Rooms.

Iron Bridge, Shropshire

Opened in 1781 , this is the first arch bridge in the world made out of cast iron. Recognised as one of the great symbols of the industrial revolution, it transformed the craft of bridge building and was a crucial factor in the development of the iron trade in Shropshire.

21. Which bridge has the longest history?

A. Clifton Suspension Bridge.  B. Infinity Bridge.

C. Tower Bridge. D. Iron Bridge.

22. What can we know about Infinity Bridge?

A. It was originally meant for pedestrains. B. The public give it two names.

C. Ifs well worth visiting at night. D. Its arch is bigger than any other bridge's.

23. What makes Clifton Suspension Bridge different from the other bridges introduced?

A. It charges drivers for each passing. B. It offers walkers a good view at night.

C. It was made from thousands of stones. D. It's a symbol of the industrial revolution.

I was in the second year of my Ph. D. program when a colleague asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without much consideration, I said I would use it to help others. The question kept coming to my mind. Like many graduate students, I was overwhelmed （难以承受的）with research, teaching, coursework, and some attempt at a personal life. Still, I asked myself, "Do I really need a 25th hour to help other people-or do I need to make better use of the 24 hours I have?"

I needed something to help me return to my old self. After that conversation with my colleague, I googled （谷歌搜索）"volunteer opportunities near me”. A local organization that drives people to stores or appointments was looking for volunteers. Having grown up in a rural village where everyone knew one another and my grandparents were always close by, I thought serving senior citizens in my new hometown might be just what I needed.

A short time later, I started to volunteer for an organization that provides transportation for senior citizens and people with disabilities. To my surprise, adding this activity to my busy life was just what I needed to calm the confusion I was feeling as a first-generation international graduate student.

I started to volunteer about 3 hours every weekend, the time I otherwise would have wasted oversleeping or scrolling（滚屏）through social media. Sharing stories with my riders was much more rewarding. What they told me about their lives helped me realize that in every corner of the world, humans are connected with the language of emotions. And seeing how eager my riders were to spend time out and about inspired me to think about how to spend my time, which used to slip away. My previously overwhelming schedule began to feel manageable.

I'm proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I'm using the most valuable thing in life ： my time.

25. How did the author find the volunteer job?

26. What made the author feel his volunteer job was worth doing?

27. How did volunteering influence the author?

D. It inspired him to spare more time to accompany his grandparents.

C

Poaching （偷猎）and habitat loss have threatened Africa's two species of elephants, taking them closer toward the edge of disappearance, according to a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN）.

Before this update, Africa's elephants were grouped together and were evaluated as vulnerable （易受伤害 的）by the IUCN. This is the first time the two species have been sorted separately. In the past, elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants. Forest and savanna elephants （稀树草原象） were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.

The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered. The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a 31 -year assessment period. The population of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60% over the last 50 years, according to the IUCN, which tracks the assessment risk of the world's animals. Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants, counting the two species together.

Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching. Although it peaked in 2011 , illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations. African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land is converted for agriculture or other uses.

There is some good conservation news, the IUCN points out. Anti-poaching measures, combined with better land use planning to support better human-wildlife relationships, have helped conservation efforts. Some forest elephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed areas in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing, particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in southern Africa.

But with constant demand for ivory and increasing human pressures on Africa's wild lands, concern for Africa's elephants is high, and the need to creatively conserve and wisely manage these animals and their habitats is more severe than ever.

28. What can be inferred from the new report about African elephants?

A. They are divided into three kinds. B. They are dying out.

C. Their threat is mainly from poaching. D. Their population has grown in Africa.

29. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?

A. The detailed number of African elephants. B. The similarities of African elephants.

q The different types of African elephants. D. The present situation of African elephants.

30. What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Expanded. B. Protected. C. Transformed. D. Forbidden.

31. What's the authors attitude to the present situation of African elephants?

A. Hopeless. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Worried.

D

A Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can capture waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.

The state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the robot launched on the government's Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30-kilogram robot, called NEO-01 , was developed by Origin Space. Pounded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub（技术中心）Shenzhen, Origin Space has been devoted to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids（小行星）.

The world's first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, was established in 2009. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale.   Astroscale's technology uses magnets （磁铁）to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.

Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype （雏形）of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.

The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collect materials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030. 32. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01 ?

A. It weighs 60 kilograms. B. It was created by Planetary Resources.

C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission. D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.

33. What can be inferred from the text?

A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.

B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.

C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.

D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste. 34. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?

A. It is promising and rewarding. B. It has benefited the space industry.

C. It's a long way to produce it. D. It'll help make money for the company.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. NEO-01 , A Smart Robot Used inSpace B. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space Waste

C. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePower D. NEO-01 , the Pioneer of Future Space Robots

Interested in learning how to read body language? Would you like to be able to tell when people are lying and understand people's intentions? 36     

Fingers can create many gestures and are great for reading body language. A pointing finger can either be someone pointing to an item or place, it can also indicate anger. If someone is curling （卷拢）their fingers tightly, they are usually praying for something. 37     The faster the beating is, the greater the tension inside the person may be.

38     They can tell so much information about the person if you know what you are looking for. As in most situations, the same signal can be interpreted in a different way. It depends entirely on the circumstances at hand. Open eyes may mean the person is interested in the topic and it can also mean that the person is confused.

The eyebrows （眉毛）have many uses. 39     When the eyebrows are raised, normally the person is shocked or surprised. The greater the surprise, the more raised they will be. When someone moves their eyebrow up and down quickly, they are greeting someone else or are showing they have acknowledged them.

Remember reading body language is not a skill that can be learned overnight. 40     Anyway, body language is the most important language you can learn.

A. Listed below are some examples of the uses.

B. The more you practice, the easier it will become.

C. If you do, the person will become uncomfortable.

D. Remember the eyes can make the wrong evaluation.

E. People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

F. Knocking or tapping with the fingers indicates nervousness.

G. Body language gives you an insight into what others might be thinking,

When I was a boy growing up I can't remember either my mom or my grandmother wasting food. Anything we didn't eat at one meal was 41    , stored, and served as leftovers later on. I can 42     my grandmother

making a huge pot of brown beans with a large cake of cornbread. We would all eat until we were 43     but there was always about half of the beans 44    A few days later grandmother would take those 45    out of the refrigerator, boil pasta, add parsley and 46    them all together into her delicious Pasta Fasule（意大利面 食）.And I also remember when I  47       my mom fry bacon for us in the mornings, she would always take the

extra butter and 48     pour it into a container. Then she later would 49     it to flavor up （调味）so many other dishes.

I learned the 50    well and after I grew up I tried to never waste food myself. I always 51    the week's meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping 52    so nothing went to waste. Every 53    went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, or my dogs. To me throwing food in the trash was just 54     . All the work it took to grow it, harvest it, and prepare it needed to be 55      and not wasted.

Exercise might seem like a chore sometimes, 56     (particular) when we get told so often that we should

exercise more. But we need to get up and start moving. Many of us spend too much time 57     ( stare) at screens. Most teen girls don't meet the standards for physical activity. Getting 58 ( scold) about this, though, doesn't really help. And that's too bad, because exercise can be both fun and good for the body and the brain.

Exercise is not only good for your muscles, 59     good for your bones. Getting exercise 60     (help) teens

build tough bodies. And teens who exercise more often grow up into adults with much 61     (strong) bones.

Exercise can increase how much oxygen and blood gets to the brain, and even how the brain is structured. Working 62     can produce chemicals in our bodies that might help prevent depression. And a workout after learning something can help us form and keep a great number of 63    ( memory).

So maybe it's no surprise 64     so many scientists study exercise. There are some scientists, for instance, who study what makes winning runners so fast. 65                     ( other) study running lizards and astronauts in space to

find out how to keep humans healthy both on and off planet Earth.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In the summer of 2002, Linda was about to enter sixth grade after having recently moved. Being new to town, her mother decided to sign her up for Girl Scouts （女童子军）.The benefits of the Girl Scouts were well-known： developing leadership skills, creating a strong sense of self, encouraging healthy relationships among others. One of the most important parts of the program involved developing healthy relationships, often leading to unbreakable bonds, sometimes through the Buddy （伙伴）Program.

Soon Linda joined Pisgah Girl Scout Camp in Brevard, North Carolina t where she was paired with a buddy named Rose in a four-person tent. At camp, Linda and Rose's lives were closely connected together. As a Girl Scout, Linda was taught to have someone to rely on, to know where she is going, to talk over things, and to make friends. Little did she know how important that single skill would be in her life.

One afternoon, a storm blew in and sent the girls all to their tents. Lightning（闪电）struck a tree outside the girls' tent. As bad luck would have it, Linda had been standing on her metal bed at the time. Lightning traveled from the metal clothesline between that tree and another one-burning all the bathing suits-went down into the tree roots, which were tied up into the floorboards of the tents, and hit her bed. Very soon, two-thirds of Linda's body was burned. Linda was lying on the floor badly burned and unable to move.

The other three girls in the tent were frightened to death. They screamed and ran from the tent, not noticing what was happening to Linda, but Rose quickly realized her buddy was not among them.
