It was completely made of paper!The bridge was a piece of art work. It started to open to the public in April, 2015. The bridge was made of 22. 000 pieces of paper and it was five metres long. The whole bridge used no glue or bolts.The special paper bridge was an art project by an environmental artist named Steve Messam. To build the Paper bridge was not easy at all, and he spent three years developing the bridge. He looked for a small number of volunteers to help on the paper bridge project. He used old principles from Roman times to build it. He said the 4. 5 tons of paper made the bridge much stronger than oak. Even after heavy rain, the bridge wasnt influenced at all.The bridge opened to the public on Friday and became a popular tourist place. Walkers and cyclists have come to see the bridge and have a go at walking over it for themselves. The tourists wanted to test whether it would hold their weight. “The red bridge really stands out in the wild countryside and makes you want to touch it or even walk over it,” said a visitor.The paper was introduced by a paper factory.

Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks(前震) and a larger earthquake might occur. Reduce your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place.If you are indoors, do “duck, cover and hold”. Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong, such as a table or a desk, cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk so that it does not move away from you as the ground shakes. Do this until the shaking stops and it is safe to move. Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts. If there isnt a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch(蜷缩) in an inside corner of the building.Stay clear of windows, fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave.If you are outside, get into the open and stay there. Move away from trees, buildings, signs and power lines. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits and alongside exterior walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury. Most earthquake-related casualties（伤亡） result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects.If you are driving, you may not realize what is going on at first because the car may feel like it is going to blow up. Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and stay in it until the shaking stops. If it is a really bad quake, turn on the radio to find an emergency channel to get information. Follow the directions of people directing traffic.If you are in a mountainous area, watch out for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake.If you are at the beach, move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.（1）Which of the following pictures means “duck, cover and hold”?A . B . C . D . （2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A . Ground movement during an earthquake is the main reason of death.B . You should keep your windows, fireplaces and heavy furniture clear.C . Stop your car in the clear area and get out of it if an earthquake happens.D . Run away from the beach as quickly as possible if an earthquake happens.（3）The passage is mainly about _during the earthquake.A . ways of keeping you safeB . the importance of keeping safeC . ways of finding safe placesD . researches on how to keep safe四、 任务型阅读。 (共2题；共35分)20. （25分）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。On June 26th, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could now read the whole “map” of the human body: DNA. DNA is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own. Now we can read some of this “map”, and so we can find out more about how our bodies work.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregory Mendel discovered that there is a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes” that we have in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are really messages written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaei found the first “word” that they could understand in that language, showing how DNA tells the cell to build its parts. This meant that one day we would be able to read all the messages that a human body gets from its parents bodies. Scientists have now found all the words in DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help save people from several diseases. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help people who are very ill. Other people worry about that when we learn more words and find out lots of other information, we still use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people getting jobs.（1）Could Francis and Craig read the “map” of DNA in 2000?（2）Why do we look like our parents?（3）When was the first “word” of DNA discovered?（4）What can the doctors do if we understand some messages in DNA?（5）What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph?21. （10分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能正确回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。 Some students favorite sports Swimming is difficult but I like it very much.
