During the past century, engineers across the world have created numerous wonders in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niterói Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The debate was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”.
21. What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge
A. It is a busy bridge. B. It has a roof.
C. It was built in 1980. D. It is a wooden bridge.
22. On which of the following can trains pass
A. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge. B. Rio-Niterói Bridge.
C. Hartland Covered Bridge. D. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.
23. Where can you find the longest bridge over water
A. In China. B. In Brazil. C. In Canada. D. In America.

I fell into love with shopping at the age of 10. After a short time being just a buyer, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that I no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account (账户).
On December 9, 2022, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a resale (零售) shop. I went around to the garage sale (旧货出售处) and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices.
Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell any of her things for her to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month I made over $1,500 for her! She was so thankful for all of my help.
I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it.
24. At first, __________ helped her make money by selling things.
A. the girl’s father B. the girl’s mother
C. the girl’s teacher D. a single lady
25. The writer went to the garage sale to __________.
A. meet single ladies B. buy things for her resale shop
C. help others D. sell things she no longer needed
26. The author decided to help the lady sell her things because __________.
A. the lady’s items were nice B. the lady’s items were of good quality
C. the lady lived a hard life D. the lady asked the author for help
27. The lady felt so __________for what the author had done for her.
A. disappointed B. amazed C. proud D. appreciative
C
My husband Wu and I ,together with our two dogs, have spent several years living in an RV (野营车) — calling it home and driving it all around China.
Wu and I had just sold our house outside of Hefei, Anhui and moved to a town in Yunnan. Though we enjoyed our new place, we were traveling back home for visits often. So at first the RV was intended for traveling in comfort: We could save money on hotels, travel at a more relaxed pace, avoid packing (打包行李) and unpacking, and be able to take our dogs with us. Plus, my husband had always wanted one.
We bought the first RV in July 2020 and by September of that year we were already considering living in it full time. Wu and I love traveling and being “location independent,” and our jobs allow us to work from anywhere. At first it did seem strange to live on the road, but once we officially made the decision, in February 2023, we never looked back.
I absolutely love living in an RV, so my list of “advantages” is long. I love being able to park my home right next to the best biking trails (小路), change the view from the windows, follow the good weather, and explore unusual destinations (目的地).
The biggest “disadvantage” is the planning. That’s necessary. You do have to plan ahead where you are going to park because sometimes places are full. As a full-time traveler, you are often planning, moving, and trying new things. So once you arrive somewhere, it’s nice to stay a while and just sit still. That’s why I suggest that RVers park their RV every once in a while, or move a little slower.
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author and her husband
A. How they went on holiday in an RV. B. Where they traveled in their RV.
C. Why they bought their first RV. D. How they gave up their house to get an RV.
29. What did the author and her husband do in February 2023
A. They moved to a new city and found new jobs. B. They sold their first RV.
C. They rebuilt their house in Yunnan. D. They began living in their RV full time.
30. What does the author think of her lifestyle
A. It is busy and challenging. B. It is comfortable and satisfying.
C. It still needs some changes. D. It has made her more independent.
31. What does the author suggest RVers do
A. Slow down and relax on the road. B. Head for thinly populated places.
C. Try new types of RVs D. Avoid making many plans ahead.
D
Finland’s education system is considered one of the best in the world. Finland(芬兰) is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world
Until the 1960s Finland’s school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private (私人的) schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to reform and modernize (使现代化) their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive.
Most of Finland’s schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries.
Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects.
All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate (比率) in the European Union.
32. What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s
A. They encouraged students to go to private school.
B. They lengthened preschool education.
C. They reformed the school system.
D. They learned modern education from neighboring countries.
33. We can learn from the text that ________.
A. the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of six
B. the children in Finland are educated equally
C. the school system in Finland is better than that in Singapore
D. the school equipment in Finland doesn’t meet international standards
34. The author mentions Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea to show ________.
A. the school system in Finland has been very successful
B. Asian countries are successful in school education
C. students in these places are better than those in European countries
D. the educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. What Differences European Schools Have B. Why Finland’s School System Has Changed
C. What Good Schools Provide Students With D. Why Finland’s School System Is Successful

It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park ” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football ”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.

Dear Eric,
Hearing that you have no idea whether you should study abroad, I’d like to share my opinion with you.
Undoubtedly, studying abroad has many advantages. It is a great opportunity to develop new skills, experience new cultures and make friends from around the world. However, you might be homesick and lonely. And you will have to learn to adapt to new life and deal with the challenges by yourself. Anyway, I suggest you choose to study abroad, which will be helpful to you in the future.
All the best!
Yours,
Li Hua

“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side .
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .”

I’m Jessie Williams, and this is our weekend weather report. This morning we’re seeing sun with cloudy periods as well as a few hours of light snowfall. Right now I am at the top of Mount Raven where the temperature is plus two and expected to rise to about six degrees by noon. Overnight temperature will probably drop to at least minus seven.

Conditions are perfect for skiing this weekend, but if you’re determined to head out to the slopes tomorrow, please remember to put on warm clothes to protect yourself from the cold, especially exposed areas like your ears, cheeks and hands. Now, we have to go back to the newsroom for a look at what’s happening in sports. Have a splendid weekend!
