The bridge was completed in 1883, after 13 years. In 1869, a creative engineer named John Roebling was 16 by an idea to build a spectacular bridge 17 New York with the Long Island. 18 , bridge-building experts throughout the world thought that this was impossible and told Roebling to forget the idea.Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. After much discussion and persuasion he 19 to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge 20 could be built. The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway, a tragic accident took the life of John Roebling. Washington was also injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which 21 him not being able to talk or walk. 22 his handicap, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning 23 to complete the bridge and his mind was still as 24 as ever. He didnt want to 25 . Suddenly an idea 26 him. All he could do was move one 27 and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he 28 developed a code of communication with his wife.For 13 years Washington tapped out his 29 with his finger on his wifes arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands for his determination not to be 30 by circumstances. It stands too as a monument to the love and 31 of his wife who for 13 years long 32 decoded（解码）the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves a(n) 33 goal. Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles(障碍) seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that 34 that seem impossible can be realized with determination and persistence(坚持), no matter what the 35 are.16. A. inspiredB. promoted C. awarded D. presented17.

Over 80% people go to work by car. 25% car journeys are under two miles. 70% car journeys are under five miles.WALKING & CYCLINGInstead of using the car for short journeys, why not walk or ride a bicycle? Walking is a most popular form of exerciseits healthy and it can save you money. If you work nearby, try walking or cycling instead of driving. BUSES Bus companies are using new buses: some run on new fuels which produce less pollution; some have easier access for disabled and old people.

Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, “Im sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough. Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild. “This isnt family,” he replied. “Though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family, Old Ed and I grew up together.” They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, itd generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. “I should have kept in touch.” He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didnt seem to find the time. “But we used to find the time,” he said. “Take a look.” He handed the letter over to me.The first sentence “Ive been meaning to write for some time, but Ive always delayed it.” reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said “Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because Im not good at saying things like that”, I found myself nodding in agreement. We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: “So I thought youd like to know that I was thinking of you.” And it was ended with “Your Old Friend, Tom.”“I thought your friends name was Ed,” I said.“Im Tom,” he explained. “Its a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew hed died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner.” His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.When I got to my hotel room I didnt unpack right away. I had to write a letter and post it. 39.

Which is the proper title for the passage? A. A Stage for Pop Stars B. Go Backstage of Top of the Pops C. Great Success Comes from Hard Work D. The Most Popular Is the Most SuccessfulDFor well over a thousand years, smallpox was a disease that everyone feared. The disease killed much of the native population in South America when the Spanish arrived there in the early sixteenth century. By the end of the eighteenth century, smallpox was responsible for about one in ten deaths around the world. Those who survived the disease were left with ugly scars on their skin. It had long been well known among farmers that people who worked with cows seldom caught smallpox; instead, they often caught a similar but much milder disease called cowpox (牛痘) . A British doctor called Jenner was extremely interested in this, and so he studied cowpox. He believed that, by vaccinating (给接种疫苗) people with the disease, he could protect them against the much worse disease smallpox. In 1796, he vaccinated a boy with cowpox and, two months later, with smallpox. The boy did not get smallpox. In the next two years, Jenner vaccinated several children in the same way, and none of them got the diseaseNews of the success of Jenners work soon spread. Vaccination soon became a common method to protect people against other diseases caused by virus, such as rabies (狂犬病), and vaccines were sent across the world to the United States and India. It took nearly two centuries to achieve Jenners dream of getting free of smallpox from the whole world. In 1967, the world Health Organization (WHO) started a great vaccination program, and the last known case of smallpox was recorded in Somalia in 1977. The story of vaccinations does not end there, however. There are many other diseases that kill more and more people every year. Besides, many new diseases are being discovered. The challenge for medical researchers will, therefore, probably continue for several more centuries47. Smallpox was so serious that _ by the end of l8th centuryA. its death rate was up to ten percent B. those who caught it were certain to die C. one in ten people in the world died of smallpox D. one in ten deaths in the world was caused by smallpox48.

The first experiment with cowpox was made by a British doctor. B. After 1977 smallpox disappeared around the world according to WHO. C. Vaccination had existed among ordinary farmers before being discovered. D. Vaccination can be used to protect people in the world against not only smallpox.40. The author of the passage thinks that _. A. vaccinations bring many new problems B. vaccinations end the spread of diseases C. there is a long way to go to fight against diseases D. there is a long way to go to discover new diseases第四节：短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行右边横线上画一个勾（V）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（八），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。注意：原行没有错的不要改。Everyone can do something for our environment.
