It was finally thrown open to public traffic in 1937.It cost $25. 7 million in the construction. Till the year 1957, the Golden Gate Bridge, at a length of 2.737 meters, was the longest suspension bridge in the world.‎ Brooklyn Bridge The Brooklyn Bridge is located in Brooklyn. It is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, having been opened in the year 1883. The length of the bridge is 1.843 meters. The bridge has been featured in several Hollywood movies.‎ George Washington Bridge Also known as the Hudson River Bridge and the Columbus Bridge, the George Washington Bridge which connects Fort Lee to Manhattan came into use in 1931 after a construction period of almost 4 years. It is a two level suspension bridge that cost about $52 million to build Mackinac Bridge This is the third biggest suspension bridge in the world at a length of 8.038 meters. The architect of this bridge was Dr. David B. Steinman who directed the construction of the bridge which started in the year 1054 and opened to the public in 1958. People using this bridge are charged a certain amount of money.‎ Navajo bridge Located in Arizona, this bridge crosses the Colorado River and is almost 250 meters long. The construction of this bridge started in the year 1927, ending two years later, costing $390.000. In the 1990s a second bridge was built which was opened to the public in 1994.

Cover nearly 250 meters.‎ D. See the statue of Dr David B. Steinman B In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted (不去重视). We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.‎ One evening, I left work and boarded the train. Afterentering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people ‎ standing.‎ I didn’t pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It wasn't long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn't anyone helping him?‎ His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.‎ Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plain clothes policeman who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME!" and started crying.‎ A man doesn't value things until they are gone. If he didn’t have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won’t help himself.‎ ‎24. When entering the car, how did the author feel at first?‎ A.

He is a loser of life. B. He is worth our respect.‎ C. He is very funny. D. He is a fearless fighter.‎ C Cultures are based on social and linguistic(语言的) communities.‎ In South Africa, we exist amongst diverse groups which are culturally different. This makes us multicultural. Toit, one sociologist in the U.S., explains that multiculturalism is more than the expression of cultural variety, and it also concerns communication. He adds that for multiculturalism to "succeed’, meaningful communication is a requisite.‎ In multicultural countries, it is necessary that the education system encourages learners to become interculturally competent (胜任的). The process of becoming intercultural is a“ personal transformation” from being cultural to being intercultural. This does not mean that a highly intercultural person's identity is culture-free. Rather, it is not rigidly bound by membership to any one particular culture. Furthermore for learners to become interculturally competent, it is necessary that all involvers in the education system become aware of their own cultural background.‎ Toit conducted a survey, the objective of which was to determine the problems experienced by learners in a multicultural learning environment. Two hundred questionnaires were administered. 55% believed that different values and beliefs were a major cause of the communication problems. Closer examination of the interactions showed that learners were in fact mostly associating with members of their own cultural groups. Toit points out that in an intercultural communication, people would be challenged by the sudden difference in culture, and this may force an evaluation or re-evaluation of their beliefs and values.‎ ‎45% of the learners believed that there was lack of trust among their peers. The general lack of trust between two complete strangers leads to an uncomfortable situation. They said that when learners are asked to work in groups, they are unwilling to do so. They added that one of the many issues that contribute to such negative opinions was the language barrier.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word "requisite" in the second paragraph mean?‎ A. Necessity B. Process C. Decision D. Encouragement ‎29. What does being interculturally competent require according to the third paragraph?‎ A. That intercultural person' s identity is culture-free.‎ B. People choosing one particular culture.‎ C. People to be aware of their own cultural background.‎ D. That people influence others with their own beliefs and values.‎ ‎30. What can we learn about the survey?‎ A. There were more than two hundred respondents in the survey.‎ B. 55% believed language barrier was the main cause of the communication problems.‎ C. Learners tend to associate with members of their own cultural groups.‎ D. Learners have learned to re-evaluate their beliefs and values.‎ ‎31. Learners are unwilling to work in groups mainly because of A. language barrier and lack of trust B. prejudice and different beliefs C. unequal power and different world views D. defensiveness and prejudice D The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty. Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.‎ According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behaviors. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson's disease.‎ According to Dr. Donaldhensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr.Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.‎ Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption ‎ on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks When informed of these possible health benefits and harms of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high student stated , “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake."‎ ‎32. What is the people's attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?‎ A. Disapproving. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Mixed ‎33. What does the underlined word "moderate" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Personal. B. Slight. C. Reasonable. D. Heavy.‎ ‎34. What can we infer about Harwood?‎ A. He'll keep on drinking coffee. B. He loves his high school life.‎ C. He often falls asleep in class. D He has some health problems ‎35.What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Why People Love Coffee? B. How Coffee Affects Health?‎ C. The Culture of Coffee Drinking D. The New Findings of Heart Disease 第二节(共5小题;每小题1分满分5分)‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Set Goals Whether you have small dreams or high expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. Some achievements can take a lifetime to achieve, while others can be completed in a day. 36‎ l Determine your life goals. Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life.

Opinions are divided on this issue.‎ ‎60% of the students think that it is wrong to do so because people will waste a lot of money observing these festivals. Besides, people are likely to forget their own tradition and culture if they focus too much on foreign festivals.‎ However, 35% of the students argue that it’s a natural trend to celebrate foreign festivals. As we all know, with the development of science and technology, the earth has, in fact, become a global village. Those festivals that were once foreign to us are ‎ now familiar to us. Meanwhile, celebrating foreign festivals can help us learn more about the customs of other countries.‎ As far as I’m concerned, if we can strike a balance between our own festivals and foreign ones, it’s not a bad idea to have more festivals to celebrate. ‎
