A bridge is a structure constructed to connect two places without blocking the way beneath it. Below are four famous bridges in the world.
Bridge of Sighs
The Bridge of Sighs is in Venice, Italy, which was designed by Antonio Contino. The bridge’s construction was begun in 1600 and completed in 1603. The bridge was supposed to be the last view for prisoners, who would sigh at the beauty of Venice, before being taken to prison. That is why it is called the Bridge of Sighs.
Tsing Ma Bridge
The bridge is named after the two islands it connects—Ma Wan and Tsing Yi in Hong Kong. It has both a roadway and a railway and is the longest suspension bridge (悬索桥) with two decks. The bridge is 4,518 feet long and 676 feet tall, which was designed by Mott MacDonald. The construction was begun in 1992 and completed in 1997.
Tower Bridge
The Tower Bridge is situated in London, which is a combination of the drawbridge (开合桥) and suspension bridge. Designed by Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry, it was built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge stretches across the River Thames near the Tower of London. The drawbridge is drawn about 1,000 times a year.
Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge joins the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, whose chief designer was Jbseph Strauss. The bridge has been named the most beautiful and most photographed bridge in the world. It is 8,981 feet long, 746 feet tall and 90 feet wide. Construction of the bridge was begun in 1933 and completed in 1937. In 1987, the bridge was named a California historic landmark.

Cecilia Chiang, named the “mother of Chinese food in American”, a famed restauranteur who helped introduce real Chinese food to America in the 1960s, died on October 28, 2020 at the age of 100. Opened in 1961, Cecilia’ legendary San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin, was arguably the best Chinese restaurant in the US for over 30 years. She challenged the American idea of Chinese food and transformed their appreciation for authentic Chinese cuisine.
Ms. Chiang was born in Wuxi in 1920 as the seventh daughter in a wealthy family. After her parents died, Cecilia managed the businesses’ finances while still in her teens.
Ms. Chiang came to San Francisco in 1959. Once in San Francisco, she met two acquaintances who wanted to open a restaurant. Ms. Chiang agreed to put up a huge deposit. But when the two women quit, Ms. Chiang found to her horror that the deposit was not refundable. She decided to open the restaurant herself. “I began to think that if I could create a restaurant with Western-style service and the dishes that I was most familiar with—the delicious food of northern China —maybe my little restaurant would succeed,” she wrote in her book.
The Mandarin, which was opened in 1961 as a small restaurant, introduced customers to mainly Sichuan, Shanghai and Canton dishes. The early days were especially tough. But little by little, Chinese diners, and a few Americans came regularly. Overnight, the tables filled and became a huge success.
Ms. Chiang enjoyed many extraordinary honors. In 2013, when she was 93, she received the long overdue Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Awards, known as the ‘‘Culinary Oscars” at New York’s Lincoln Center. Cecilia considered it her legacy to have redefined what Americans know about Chinese food and culture. In her acceptance speech, Cecilia said, “This is an incredible honor. James Beard was one of my close personal friends, so this award holds a special place in my heart.”
24、What is Cecilia’s early life in San Francisco?
A. She transferred her family business to San Francisco.
B. She opened her restaurant because the deposit was non-refundable.
C. She met two classmates who cheated her out of money.
D. She obtained the help of two acquaintances.
25、What can we know about Cecilia’s restaurant business?
A. It was an overnight hit through accumulation.
B. It is easy to survive the early days.
C. It has typical Western-style dishes.
D. It got help from a distinguished person.
26、What did Cecilia’s restaurant bring to Americans?
A. It completely changed American’s eating habits.
B. It brought Oscars to the food world.
C. It showed Americans the charm of Chinese food.
D. It brought memories of the old era to Americans.
27、How to understand the underlined word?
A. Describe something that had always been desired.
B. Describe something that took place unexpectedly.
C. Describe something that had turned up by chance.
D. Describe something that should have happened before.
The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
28、How can one still see the damaged parts of Notre Dame in Paris?
A. Through a virtual video game. B. By conducting comprehensive repairs.
C. By reading relevant literature. D. By repairing a large number of photos.
29、How to make a copy as accurate as the real Notre Dame?
①By advancing the AR gaming technology.
②By scanning the buildings.
③By building 3D models with diverse photos.
④By measuring all the parts exactly.
A.①②④ B.①②③ C.②③④ D.①③④
30、What value does the digital model bring us?
A.Allow one to understand these historical heritage sites through personal experience.
B.Preserve existing cultural heritage and store useful information.
C.Enable historical sites to regain international certification through online traffic.
D.Improve the utilization of mobile phones by appreciating historical heritage.
31、What can be the best suitable title for this passage?
A.A Plan for Architects to Reproduce A New Notre Dame
B.A Desire for A Virtual Video Game to Repair Notre Dame
C. The Era Calls for A Better Technology to Improve Notre Dame
D. Virtual Way to Save Architectural Heritage
Think about that. K you are anything like me, you struggle to ask for help when you need it. It’s something a lot of humans battle with. You don’t want to be a burden on others. You are afraid to speak up, or want to prove that you can do it yourself.
You don’t ask for help when you don’t know how to do something or can’t manage it on your own, because you might be afraid of looking stupid or incompetent. You might pretend like you know what you’re doing when you’re really drowning. Perhaps you think asking for help is a sign of weakness; that if you ask for help you’re admitting you’re inadequate in some way; that you lack knowledge, skill or experience to do something yourself. You don’t want anyone to see that you’re struggling and you want people to think that you’re in control and can handle things.
There are tons of reasons you won’t ask for help, but not doing so can be a mistake. You get in your own way if you make asking for help mean something negative about you when it doesn’t. Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re stupid or inadequate. It simply means you need help with something specific for a time.
Confident people often ask others for help. They do so not only because they’re secure enough to let it be known they need help, but they know that trying to do everything themselves is not always the best use of their time, skills or energy. They recognize it can leave them feeling overwhelmed and stressed and then they can’t do things properly. Confident people find someone who’s good at what they need to learn or get done and then ask for their help and guidance. They know that asking, “Can you help me?” shows respect for the other person’s knowledge and abilities. Otherwise, they wouldn’t ask.
32、What does the author tend to do when encountering difficulties?
A.He is unwilling to turn to others for help.
B.He will actively seek for diverse solutions.
C.He will ask for help from his closest friends.
D.He will refuse friendly help from others.
33、Why are many people reluctant to seek help from others?
A. To avoid making many mistakes.
B. To cover up one’s lack of confidence.
C. To reassure others about their own abilities.
D. To prove that they have been striving.
34、What does the author intend to convey to us according to Paragraph 3?
A.It is a very shameful thing to ask for help.
B.Asking for help is the last way to improve one’s abilities.
C.It is stupid to ask for help when one meets difficulties.
D.Don’t hesitate to seek help when it is necessary.
35、What is a confident person’s perspective on questioning?
A.They respectfully call anyone better than themselves their teacher.
B.They seek advice from people better than themselves in anything.
C.They consider it as a way to show respect for knowledge and abilities.
D.They strongly believe that asking others is lowering themselves.

36、Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today. ①_______ So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet?
Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. ②_______ Only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的) , lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return.
The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation (失活) of a specific gene—Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat. ③_______
Pandas have evolved (进化) to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To help with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb”（伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize objects such as bamboo in one paw quickly. ④_______ While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo.
Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. ⑤_______
A. They eat 12.5 kg of bamboo in a single day.
B. Bamboo is the healthier diet for captive (圈养的) pandas.
C. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change.
D. The newborn panda is blind and covered with only a thin all-white coat.
E. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different.
F. Unlike their relatives, pandas don’t eat meal but survive on a diet of only bamboo.
G. Whatever the future holds, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals.

Swinging his bat back and forth, and giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give, the boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn’t planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, she changed her shift (轮班) at the hospital, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and gave CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions (按压). And he came to life.

解析：Some time ago，a friend of mine who worked in a part of the city I didn’t know very well，invited me to call on him. It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper spot to park my car. As I was already three-quarters of an hour late，I parked my car quickly. At noon，just as I was leaving my friend’s office，it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere!
Walking down street after street，I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own， it belonged to someone else! Feeling quite tired ， I went off for lunch. Sometime later，I left the restaurant and walked down the street. Turning the corner，I nearly jumped for joy：my car was right in front of me，and there was no problem this time. To tell the truth，driving in crowded cities is far from being a pleasure and it is much easier to walk than to drive.

54、答案：
One day, when Kevin was working in the kitchen he heard someone screaming, “A customer was choking.” Kevin hurriedly rushed to the table like an arrow. After finding her face turning blue and her hands at her throat, he immediately stepped behind her and tried his best to perform first aid on her by using skills he learned. Finally, he made it. The woman vomited the food that was trapped in the her throat. Seeing the woman could breathe smoothly and the color began to return to her face, all people around them were in relief.
It was then that Kevin suddenly recognized the woman customer he just had helped was Penny Brown. He felt a great sense of excitement welling up in his heart and surging through him. When Penny showed her heartfelt gratitude to Kevin’s kindness from the bottom of her heart, Kevin said it was she that saved herself. Then he explained what had happened before. Never did Penny expect that a small act of kindness at that time could make a difference to her life. What a miracle! As the saying goes, one good turn deserves another.
