11、-Macau Bridge, the worlds longest sea-based project, comprises four parts: a 22.9-kilometer steel bridge, two artificial islands, a submerged sea tunnel extending for 6.7 kilometers, as well as leading bridges that connect the bridge to the cities.For a bridge project, designers prefer to build all

12、the structure on the ground, and only choose the tunnel when there is no alternative. However, for the HZMB, the most practical design is to integrate bridge, island and tunnel to form a complete cross-sea channel.The Pearl River Estuary （河口）holds a world-level shipping channel. Smooth traffic shoul

13、d be guaranteed. And the location is near the Hong Kong International Airport. With about 2,000 flights taking off and landing at the airport, the bridge cannot be built too high for safety reasons/5 said Meng Fanchao, chief designer of the project. “But you cannot have a submerged sea tunnel withou

14、t any support. That forced us to build the artificial islands.”Chinese engineers declared a trail in installing deep-immersed tunnel tubes. 6tThere is no model for us to refer to as all the cases are shallow-buried tubes,9, said Meng.For lack of experience, the installation of the first tube lasted

15、for 96 hours, said Yin Haiqing, deputy manager of the Project Management Department. Everyone was exhausted when we made it.”The 6.7-kilometer tunnel is the worlds longest submerged sea tunnel.Two artificial islands, covering an area of 200,000 square meters, help create a smooth transition between

16、bridge sections and tunnels. Different from traditional island, the engineers put 120 steel cylinders （圆柱）with a 22-meter diameter （直径）into the seabed, make out the shape of an island, and fill the island with soil. It is an innovative way they adopted to build the artificial island, making it firme

Decades of data, including a more recent Gallup study, character

21、izes the US as one of the most geographically mobile countries in the world. “About one in four US adults(24 percent) has reported moving within the country in the past five years.” the reported noted. With the exception of Finns(23 percent) and Norwegians(22 percent), Americans move considerably mo

22、re than their European peers.Though some may move for love or family, the major reason why Americans choose to move around is, unsurprisingly, related to work. Citing data from the Current Population Survey, a post on the blog of the New York Fed noted that between 1998 and 2013, “slightly more than

23、 half of interstate(州际的) migrants said they moved for employmentrelated reasonsa category that includes moves undertaken for new jobs, job transfers, and easier commutes(通勤).”The seeking of opportunity, particularly for an immigrant nation, is a national mythology(神话) as well as an emotional attachm

24、ent to work. A new working paper analyzed by Ben Steverman at Bloomberg suggests that workers in the US now “put in almost 25 percent more hours than Europeans” in a given year. This figure has steadily risen since the 1970s, when the hours logged by workers in Western Europe and the US were roughly

25、 the same.There are, of course, some internal factors. The US is much vaster than most European countries, plus it boasts(拥有) a common language. It is considered to be a sign of an efficient labor market that US workers can be persuaded to move to regions where there is a steady growth in jobs, such

26、 as the Sun Belt in recent years. And while American workers often have fewer labor protections than their European counterparts, as a report by the World Bank noted in 2012, American “labor laws give employers the power to fire, hire, or relocate(重新安置) workers according to their needs”， a flexibili

27、ty that is thought to aid economic growth. The World Band report added that the occupation of the average US employee in 2006 was 4 years, compared to 10 years in the European Union.Nevertheless, while Americans remain excessively mobile, FaithKarahan and Darious Li at the New York Fed are the lates

28、t to note that US workers are moving around less than before. During the 1980s, 3 percent of workingage Americans relocated to a different state each year; that figure had been cut in half by 2010. “While part of the decline can be attributed to the Great Recession，” the authors suggest, “this_pheno

29、menon took place over the course of several decades and is not necessarily related to the economic conditions.”So what accounts for this phenomenon? A roundup of theories by Brad Plumer at The Washington Post included the aging of the US workforce, the further rise of twoincome households, the burde

30、ns of real estate, evolving workplace culture, as well as the flat line of wages, which makes moving away for a job, on average, a less rewarding financial proposition.Karahan and Li put much stock in the effects of an aging workforce, to which they attribute at least half of the decline in intersta

31、te migration. “In short, a young individual today is moving less than a young person did in the 1980s because of the higher presence of older workers，” they write, suggesting that employers have shifted their employment tactics(策略) to adapt to the changing demographics(人口统计数据) of the workforce. Need

32、less to say, movies about this era in American life, in which fewer people set out to start lives in wideranging places, will probably be much less exciting.1、According to the passage, in the past five years, Americans have moved _.Arelatively less than the BritishBless frequently than ItaliansCslig

33、htly more than NorwegiansDconsiderably more than Finns2、What can we infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3?AAmericans choose to move mainly for work and family.BAmericans have a very strong interest in work.CAmericans invested more time in work than Europeans in 1975.DAmericans tended to move to Europe betwe

34、en 1998 and 2013.3、Which of the following is NOT the reason why American workers move more than their European peers?AThere is a common language in the US.BThe US is much vaster than most European countries.CAmerican labor laws give employers more freedom to deal with them.DThey are offered more eff

35、icient labor protections.4、The underlined part “this phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 refers to _.Athe Great RecessionBthe decline of workingage Americans interstate migrationCthe reduction in the number of workingage AmericansDAmericans tendency to remain mobile5、How do American employers deal with the a

36、ging workforce according to the passage?ABy sticking to their previous policies.BBy adjusting to it.CBy improving their employees job skills.DBy raising employment standard.6、As to the current situation of Americans migration, the author might feel _.AcuriousBstrangeCconfusedDdisappointed23（8分） Posi

37、tive thinking is a significant element of happiness. In order to become a positive thinker, determination and consistency are important. The first thing to know about positive thinking is that everyone can do it. With certain cognitive (认知的) and behavioral changes, we can all become positive thinker

38、s. Another important factor is that being a positive thinker does not mean you become numb to anything that is not working properly in your life or is negative - it just means that you approach life and face challenges with a healthier outlook.Instead of selectively attending to negative events, foc

39、us on the positive ones. Then pay attention to the delayed consequences of your behavior rather than the immediate ones. For example, if a job is not going like you want, focus on the fact that you have a job and how you can take your time to make the situation better.Challenge any internal attribut

40、ions and see if you compare your behavior to standards that are excessively rigid and perfectionistic. If so, change these and be reasonable with your comparisons. For example, if you constantly compare your weaknesses with other peoples strengths, then switch this and compare yourself with those wh

41、o are doing poorer than you as well. Overall, people who focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses but at the same time are aware of their weaknesses have a healthier self-evaluation result.When faced with too much fear about a situation, imagine the worst case and visualize a solution for

42、 it, then let go of fear. This way, you will be prepared for anything and your fear will not block you from being open and creative to different solutions. For example, if you are constantly worried about losing your job up to a point where it is creating a lot of anxiety and fear and is effecting y

43、our performance and your happiness negatively, then think of losing your job, visualize how you will handle it, find solutions in your mind and then let go of the thought and the fear attached to it.So positive thinkers are better problem solvers and have better interactions. In addition to that, pe

44、ople who are positive thinkers are happier and more satisfied with their life.1、Why is positive thinking a significant element of happiness?AIt means that one is blind to the troubles and difficulties that exist.BIt means that one constantly compares everything with other peoples.CIt means that one

45、is strong in mind and has nothing to be afraid of.DIt means that one approaches life and faces challenges more healthily.2、What does the text suggest about the job you dont like?AQuitting it and finding a better one.BKeeping and trying to make it better.CBeing negative and numb to it.DChallenging yo

46、urself with a new outlook.3、What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?ABe prepared for the worst: and let go of fear.BBeing constantly worried will lose your job.CFear will prevent you being open and creative.DThere is nothing to fear if well prepared.4、What can be a suitable title for t

47、he text?AHow to focus on the positive eventsBHow to be a positive thinkerCWhat to do when faced with fearDWhat to know of self-evaluation24（8分） Sally Dawly is a woman from Auburn, California.
