A blessing on the moral Colony of theMassachusetts, where immorality is dragged out into the sunshine! Come along, Madam Hester, and show your scarlet (鲜红色的；罪孽深重的) letter in the market-place!A lane was at once opened through the crowd. Led by the beadle ( 狱 吏 ), and attended by anirregular procession of serious-looking men and unkind-looking women, Hester Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment. A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of the matter in hand, except that it gave them a half-holiday, ran before herprogress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face, and at the winking (眨眼) baby in herarms, and at the shameful letter on her breast.It was no great distance, in those days, from the prison-door to the market-place. Measured by the prisoners experience, however, it might be considered to be a rather long journey; for, though her manner was proud, she perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every footstep of those who thronged to see her, as if her heart had been thrown into the street for them all to step upon. In ournature, however, there is a condition that the sufferer should never know the intensity ( 强 度 ) of what he endures by its present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that rankles (使痛心) after it. Withalmost a calm manner, therefore, Hester Prynne passed through this portion of her suffering, and came to a sort of scaffold (刑台), at the western end of the market-place. It stood nearly beneath the eaves (屋檐) of Bostons earliest church, and appeared to be a fixture there.24. What can we know about the schoolboys?A. They knew a little of the matter.B. They were full of curiosity and eagerness.C. They were happy for having a one-day holiday.D. They like Hester Prynne and her baby very much.25. What does the underlined word “thronged” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Gathered.B. Happened.C. Pretended.D. Regretted.26. What can we know from paragraph 3?A. The prison was really far from the market-place.B. The scaffold is at the eastern end of the market-place.C. Hester Prynne was thrown into the street for people to step on.D. The sufferer mainly knows the intensity of the pain after the suffering.27. What would probably happen to Hester Prynne according to the text?A. She would be set free.B. She would give a public speech.C. She would put on a performance.D. She would receive serious punishment.CIn areas like the Central United States that get lots of tornadoes, theres a common piece of celestial (天上的) fortune-telling that green skies mean a tornado is on its way. Research has shown that it isnt quite as simple as that, but scientists have found that if you see a green sky, you shouldprobably go inside. As far as most scientists can tell, the green skies around powerful thunderstorms are usually a combination of red sunsets and water droplets.Daytime skies are blue because blue shorter wavelengths of visible light tend to bounce off ( 反射) air molecules better than red longer wavelength light. So the blue light gets bounced all over thesky and looks like its coming from everywhere. Meanwhile, around sunset sunlight travels through so much atmosphere that just about all the blue is bounced away from the horizon, leaving all thosereds and oranges behind. The sunset might look exclusively ( 独 有 的 ) red and orange, but theresstill some green and even blue light hidden in there, just far less than the other colors. But for us to notice the remaining green light, it needs to hit something that reflects green light much better than red. Thats where water comes in.Big tall threatening storm clouds are made of water droplets, and even though water is best at reflecting blue light, it can still reflect green pretty well, much better than reds and oranges, sounder just the right conditions, the water in and around a cloud can bounce the green light hidden in the sunset right into our eyes making the sky look green.Still, none of the conditions that can turn skies green are unique to the clouds that produce tornadoes. Sometimes they just lead to lots of rain, and maybe some hail. So if you see huge stormclouds rolling in and a green tint (色调) in the sky, it doesnt necessarily mean theres about to be atornado, but it does mean you should probably head indoors.28. What can be the best title for the text?A. Why Do the Central United States Get TornadoesB. Do Green Skies Mean a Coming TornadoC. A Common Piece of Celestial Fortune-tellingD. Green Skies Are Unique to Clouds29. Why are the skies blue in the daytime?A. Because only blue light can be bounced in the daytime.B. Because there is more blue light than light of other colors.C. Because blue light is bounced all over the sky.D. Because red light is weaker than blue light.30. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The sunset.B. Red light.C. Blue light.D. Water.31. What can we learn about from the text?A. Storm clouds are made of water droplets and green light.B. Water cant reflect red light as well as blue light.C. There are only red and orange lights in the sunsets.D. If you see a green sky, there will be a tornado.DThe Hong Kong-Zhuhai-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 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 shouldbe 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,” said Meng Fanchao, chief designer of the project. “But you cannot have a submerged sea tunnel without any support. That forced us to build the artificial islands.”Chinese engineers declared a trail in installing deep-immersed tunnel tubes. “There is no model for us to refer to as all the cases are shallow-buried tubes,” said Meng.“For lack of experience, the installation of the first tube lasted 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 bridge sections and tunnels. Different from traditional island, the engineers put120 steel cylinders (圆柱) with a 22-meter diameter (直径) into the seabed, make out the shape ofan island, and fill the island with soil. It is an innovative way they adopted to build the artificial island, making it firmer, more efficient and friendly to the marine ecology.The HZMB provides a fixed link between the two Chinese economic centres Hong Kong and Macau and the mainland of China at Zhuhai.32. Why isnt the bridge built too high?A. The bridge hasnt any support.B. It isnt safe to build it too high.C. The engineers lack experience.D. The engineers want to make it special.33. What can we know about the HZMB from the text?A. All the structure of the HZMB is built on the ground.B. The 6.7-kilometre tunnel is the worlds longest tunnel.C. The HZMB is the first to install deep-immersed tunnel tubes.D. The installation of the first tunnel tube failed for the first time.34. Whats the function of two artificial islands?A. To declare a trail in building a sea-based bridge.B. To prevent the pollution from affecting the marine ecology.C. To ensure smooth traffic between bridge sections and tunnels.D. To guarantee the safety of the ships going through the estuary.35. What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. Science fiction.C. An announcement.D. A news report.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Tipping is part of everyday life in many parts of the world. Its usually an informal charge thats paid on top of the bill to show appreciation to the person who has provided you a service.Tipping culture can vary from place to place. In the Middle East, people who serve usually try to be more helpful. 36. An example is the tour guides of Egypt. When a tourist goes around a famous site in Egypt like the pyramids, theyll often be accompanied by a very qualified tour guide. Thanks to the guide, a tourist will certainly know more about the pyramids than he orshe did at the start. 37.In some places, tipping doesnt exist at all. Tips arent part of life in China, South Korea or Japan. But in other places in Asia, not leaving a tip can lead to trouble. An American travel agent told Conde Nast Traveler that in India, for example, a person who doesnt leave a tip after a meal in a restaurant will often be chased down the street. “ 38.” he said.Many people only give tips on a subjective ( 主 观 的 ) basis. But its this subjective aspect totipping that can cause problems. On the one hand, they dont want to be mean; on the other hand, they dont want to pay too much and feel that theyve been cheated. 39.A common solution for this problem is to offer a guideline on the check. 40.This can prevent the awkwardness when its time to pay up.A. Tips are then given to appreciate the expertise of the guideB. If you tip badly, people think less of you.C. Theyll run after you and scream for moneyD. It will suggest that a certain percentage of the bill should be paid on top as a tipE. Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip.F. After all, a tip isnt part of the billG.
