It is also one of the most visited places in the world. Vehicles cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year. More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago. The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it crosses，the Golden Gate Strait. The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County, California. Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project. Work began in 1934. Mr.Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building. These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.A special safety net was suspended(挂)under the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction. However, 11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net. Still, this was a new safety record for the time. The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1280 meters across the water. The total length is 2737 meters. It was the largest suspension bridge in the world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Today, the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.24The Golden Gate Bridge was named after _ Athe local climateBthe color of a paint Cthe strait it crossesDits natural surroundings25The purpose of suspending a special safety net is to _Aprotect the environmentBmake construction easierCprevent workers from fallingDsave building materials from falling26What do we know about Joseph Strauss?AHe attached importance to the workers safety.BHis safety measures were not of practical value.CHe built the first suspension bridge in the world.DHe demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.27The passage is written to _Ainvite readers to San Francisco Bintroduce the Golden Gate BridgeCdescribe how the Golden Gate Bridge was builtDtell the story of an engineer called Joseph StraussCIn todays world of smart phones and laptops, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem（挽回） popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesnt just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells.“Complications” features that go beyond simple timekeeping are an important part of a watchs image. Todays watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!Creativity also plays a key role in designing todays watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that dont even look like watches. The companys popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet（手镯） than a watch.Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of little things in their bags, so people want to make a statement with whats on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!28. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.29. According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?A. It simply tells time. B. It appeals to many teenagers.C. It has many complex functions.D. It has an impact on creativity and imagination.30. Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to _.A. show why Shinshoku watches are popularB. advertise Shinshoku watches made by TokyoflashC. make a comparison between watches and braceletsD. tell that todays watches need more imagination31. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Watches Tell More Than TimeB. Japanese Watches Stand OutC. Watch Industry Is in a Bad SituationD. Watches Are Becoming Less PopularDWriters used to approach publishers to have their work read by the public. Now they can simply post them and find millions of instant audience.After breaking up with her boyfriend, Bao Jingjing started “making up” a love story simply to distract (转移) her attention. Her story of a girl suffering the pain like hers progressed quickly, attracting many readers.When Bao stopped writing as she reunited with her boyfriend, she was urged to continue, as readers wanted to know what happened next. Bao finished it soon. It became so popular that it was turned into a best-seller. To cap it all off, Baos novel was later adapted into a successful movie.Baos story is only one of many Internet novels that have landed deals for physical books, TV shows and films. Unlike traditional writers who buried themselves in their books for years, some young writers like Bao have got readers rapidly online and find overnight success.Bao admits her success was unexpected.

Online literature forums are platforms for grassroots writers to succeed.In recent years, Zhang Wei, known as “Tangjiasanshao”, has earned 177 million yuan by his fingers though working as an author was beyond his dreams. He topped the list of wealthiest Chinese Internet novelists twice and was the only online writer to be listed on the 2014 Forbes “Chinese Celebrity List”.He admits that he is one of the few writers at the top of the pyramid while most online writers remain unknown.

There were some 41 examples in 2014, and I have 42 two that inspired me.One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbling(蹒跚而行) along the track, far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis was broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had a(n) 45 . Wadsworth didnt want Gafarov to finish slowly, hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 46 . The Canadian skiers were already out of the race, giving Wadsworth two 47 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski, or give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski, 48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49 , he came in sixth in the semi-finals. It was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov 50 his Olympic dream.The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won, 2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines, cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream 52 despite scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazil defender David Luiz walked over to him, pointed at him, and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriquez 56 .As an athlete, I know its easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know that 58 is just as important as losing and winning.Always remember to 59 your opposing team. Play hard, but play fair. And always be nice. Its the right thing to do and it always 60 .41. A. amusingB. amazingC. interestingD. embarrassing4
