阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。aexperts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to connect taiwan with the chinese mainland. the shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers more than twice the length of the english channel tunnel. and the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers. a recent conference in xiamen, fujian province brought together more than 70 experts. the event was co-sponsored (共同赞助) by universities from taiwan and the chinese mainland. fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin. there is direct passenger access between the mainland and taiwan by air and sea at the moment. experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding(资金). there are no technical problems to build a taiwan tunnel. but it will require an improved political relationship across the straits（海峡）. a professor of tsinghua university said, a special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction. for example, he said, the english channel tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. and preparations for the huge three gorges dam on the yangtze river began in the 1950s. the xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route, which would pass jinmen and penghu. the first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between xiamen and jinmen. this would mean that travelling from xiamen to jinmen by car would only take five minutes. the longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer land tunnel to link lyon in france with turin in italy. the tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020.56. which is the longest tunnel in the world at present? a. the tunnel between lyon and turin. b. the english channel tunnel. c. the taiwan straits tunnel. d. the passage doesnt mention it.57. which of the following is not true? a. universities both at home and abroad have sponsored (赞助) the plan. b. if the project is completed, the worlds longest tunnel will appear. c. you can reach taiwan from the mainland directly at present. d. the starting point of the proposed tunnel is in fujian.58. the example of english channel tunnel shows _. a. its not easy to complete a huge project b. there are many problems to be solved before doing something c. discussions among countries usually take a lot of time d. the preparation takes longer time than the construction59. what is the major difficulty in carrying out the plan? a. improving the relationship between taiwan and the mainland.b. the lack of money for the project from the government. c. the detailed plans for the tunnel. d. the technical problems with the tunnel.bthe kite was originally called zhiyuan in north china, and yaozi in south china. early in the five dynasties, a man named li ye used to make and fly a kite in the emperors court. he once attached a whistle made of bamboo to the kite. sound was let out when the kite was flying. the kite was named after zheng, a kind of chinese music instrument. then it was named fengzheng in chinese.the earliest kite in the world was made by motse, a famous chinese philosopher, who lived 2,300 years ago, for military (军事的) purposes. he spent three years making an eagle and managed to fly it. the eagle was later regarded as the first kite in the world. kite-flying became a recreation probably from the tang dynasty when the royal family and people of the highest class were addicted to it. it was said that the emperor xuanzong in the tang dynasty once was interested in a kite named eight immortals crossing the sea flying in the air. later, the paper-made kite was invented, which cost less and spread quickly among the common people. as time went on, kites flew to various countries in the world. the well-known british scientist, dr. needham, once described kites as an important scientific invention which spread to europe from china in his book, a history of chinas science and technology. the invention of the kite inspired mens dream of flying and led to the invention of the airplane.60. the kite made by li ye was named after a chinese music instrument because _ .a. it was made of bamboo b. it could sound in the skyc. li ye was a musician d. it looked like a whistle61. what led to the invention of the kite according to the passage?a. wars. b. an eagle. c. motses interest in animals. d. motses dream of flying.62. why was kite-flying not a popular recreation among common people at first?a. because they were too busy to fly kites.b. because they were not allowed to fly kites.c. because it was difficult to make kites.d. because it was expensive to make kites.63. which of the following statements might dr. needham agree with?a. the chinese people first tried to invent airplanes.b. the chinese spread the idea of flying to europe.c. the invention of kites in china is great.d. the invention of kites achieved the dream to fly.cdozens of dolphins swam out of the polluted waters of haifa harbor on tuesday.this was the first time that dolphins had visited this crowded mediterranean port，and researchers were surprised and delighted by the unexpected event.between 40 and 50 of the dolphins appeared in the busy port on tuesday morning，obviously drawn by the fishrich waters of haifa harbor.however，the bay is also full of harmful chemicals. aviad sheinin，professor of haifa universitys maritime studies department，said he didnt think the dolphins were harmed by the pollution，but he hoped that they would swim back to the sea soon. “it seems that they are quite relaxed. they dont seem to be stressed,” he said.haifa harbor is lined by chemical companies that have been pouring poisonous waste into the water for decades. while pollution levels have dropped in recent years，the water is still considered a health hazard“there are lots of fish in haifa harbor. unfortunately we couldnt tell the dolphins that the fish are not healthy；and i dont know what the result will be,” he told israel army radio.hundreds of haifa residents gathered around haifa harbor to see the interesting sight，and researchers said this provided a rare chance to film and study the roughtoothed dolphins. in addition to the dozens of dolphins which swam into the port on tuesday，a similar number stayed outside the breakwater(防波堤)later tuesday the dolphins left the port but remained near the entrance and israels coast guard was patrolling(巡逻) the area to try to make sure the dolphins didnt reenter the poisonous waters.relatively little is known about roughtoothed dolphins，which are usually found in deep and warm tropical waters.64. aviad sheinins words suggest that _.a. the dolphins might affect the existence of fishes in haifa portb. he is curious about the dolphins c. he will do research on the dolphinsd. he is uncertain about what will happen to the dolphins65. when learning the dolphins entered haifa port，hundreds of haifa residents _.a. were shocked b. felt upsetc. went to drive them away d. were

chemicals67. what does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean?a. protection b. risk c. regulation d .conditiondfor a long time now, ive been fascinated by common phrases and their origins- and just why we say what we say. i decided to consult the experts, sort through all the research and compile (编写) the answers. here are a few of the standouts.q: why do we“tie the knot (结)”when we get married?a: knots have been a common metaphor (比喻) in marriage ceremonies all over the world and through time. the expression means“to unite in manage”. in the hindu marriage ceremony, the groom ties a ribbon around the brides neck. in ancient rome, the bride wore a belt that was tied in a knot. the groom would then unfasten it on their first night together as husband and wife.q: why do we say“many happy returns”?a: the phrase is short for“many happy returns of the day”, which is to say,“may this day return many times”or“may you have many more birthdays. ”q: how about“its not over till the fat lady sings”? where does that come from?a: this expression is usually phrased as“the opera isnt over till the fat lady sings. ”it got its start as a popular saying when it was used by a sportswriter dan cook in 1976 to indicate that a sporting contest wouldnt end until time was called.q: whats the story of“under the weather,”especially when the weathers just fine?a: theres probably a nautical (航海的) explanation. in days gone by, when people felt seasick, they were told to go below-decks and find a spot in the middle of the ship where the motion would be less noticeable. in that way, they literally took themselves“under the weather.”68. the phrase“its not over till the fat lady sings”was first used in _.a. sport b. opera c. movie d. music69. according to the
