But he was _25_ to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a _26_, which went from one side of the river _27_ the other! On the other _28_ of bridge, was his younger brother.“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.“No,” the elder brother was _29_.“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and _30_,” the carpenter smiled. Suddenly they began to understand _31_. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a _32_. Standing on the bridge, they _33_ each others hands with _34_ in their eyes. “Could you stay another few days? Ive a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “Id love to _35_ on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”( )16. A. meeting B. question C. decision D. quarrel ( )17.

Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.40.The most important points of trees to man is _.A. they help him to make money B. they give him cool C. they give him wood and other thingsD. they help him to stop drought and floods41.In many places forests slowly disappear because _ .A. many trees have been cut down by manB. new trees are not well looked after C. man has not paid enough attention to planting treesD. all the above42.Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because _ .A. roots of trees break up the soilB. there are too many rainfallsC. strong winds bring a lot of sandD. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.43.Which title best fits the passage?A. Trees and Man B. The Function of Tree WoodC. How do People do with Trees? D. The Usage of Tree Roots C The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, in memory of the 100th birthday of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 suggestions that were handed in, Gustave Eiffels was chosen. However, at first, it was not well accepted by all and a group of people including many well-known writers and painters at that time were fiercely against its design. Being about 300 meters in height, and 7,000 tons in weight, it was the worlds tallest building until 1930. It was a great project for France. 300 workers took two years to build it. It isnt an ordinary building, since it is almost made of steel. For example, its body moves around at most 12 cm in heavy wind. Moreover, its height changes up to 15 cm according to the temperature. It was almost destroyed in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna(天线), which is used for communication at that time. Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio and French television have also made good use of its height. The Eiffel Tower has also seen a few strange things. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level of it. And in 1954, a mountain climber climbed on top of it and tried to measure its exact height. Anyway, although its birth was difficult, it is now well accepted all over the world. It has been considered as one of the symbols of Paris. 44. The passage mainly tells us _. A. the history of the Eiffel TowerB. some information about its designC. what the Eiffel Tower was used forD. how it became one of the symbols of Paris45. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?A. Many people couldnt accept the Eiffel Tower at the beginning.B. It was the worlds tallest building for hundreds of years.C.A journalist rode down from the Eiffel Tower in 1954.D.The Eiffel Tower was saved because of its height.46. The French Revolution took place in _.A. 1889 B. 1923 C. 1789 D. 1930 DThe UN passed a rule in the year 2004 to improve the quality of drink water and reduce deaths caused by drinking unhealthy water each year. The UN has already worked out the specific plan to reduce half of the number, that is, five thousand. The UN announced in the world there are about 1/6 of the world population cant meet the sanitation regulation of drinking water.The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn to stop wasting our quite limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done on this field. Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying(净化)factory. There it can be filtered(过滤) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again , just as it were fresh from a spring. But even large cities purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we would have to do to make use of seawater on earth is to get the salt out of it. This method has already been used in many parts of the world.47.
