　　 Soccer is the world's favourite sport. It has around 4 billion fans — more than half the world's population! And about 265 million people play this game 1.　　　　
It's hard to say where soccer's birthplace is. 2.　　　　 Cuju(蹴鞠), a ball-kicking game in China, is reported to have a history of more than 2,300 years. While about 1,800 years ago in Greece, people were also playing a similar ball game.

　　Bridges are built over roads, rivers, or railways. They appeared a long time ago. Back then, they were built with stones, ropes and logs(原木). Some were very simple, like a footbridge (人行桥) made out of a big tree. 1.　　　　 This is because we have better technology today.
Bridges are a mix of maths, physics, design, and architecture(建筑). They are designed by skilled engineers and they take years to build.
Bridges must be strong enough to support not only their own weight, but also the weight of the people and vehicles(交通工具). They must last a long time and be built in a way that protects them from earthquakes, strong winds, and freezing.
2.　　　　 Let's take a closer look at each one.
Arch(拱) bridges were invented a long time ago by the Romans. They were built out of stone or brick(砖).
Beam bridges are horizontal(水平的) beams supported by many columns(柱子). 3.　　　　These bridges are very old as well, and people used stone and trees to build them.
　　Suspension bridges have a tower on either side. The towers are connected by cables. They are more modern, with the first ones being built in the early 19th century.
The oldest bridge in the world is the Zhaozhou Bridge in China. 4.　　　　 But if you're looking for one of the most beautiful and famous bridges, it would be the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It's a suspension bridge built in 1937. It is 2.78 kilometres long. If you think that's long, you should see the Danyang-kunshan Grand Bridge in China. It's over 164.85 kilometres long! 5.　　　　
根据短文内容,从下面六个选项中选择五个还原到文中
A. It's an arch bridge made out of stone and was built in 605AD(公元).
B. The three main types of bridges are arch, beam and suspension.
C. The present London Bridge is more than 100 feet wide.
D. But today, bridges are bigger, stronger and more modern.
E. The columns take the weight of the people and vehicles passing on the beam.
F. It's the world's longest bridge.

　　[2024湘潭中考改编]What does taking the train mean to you Perhaps it's just a way of getting somewhere. In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun.
On March 28th, China's first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design(设计) and comfortable service(服务).
Its inside and outside are giant panda pictures. Attendants(乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a mobile star hotel because it has a bar, karaoke room, and mahjong(麻将) room.
This service is one aspect that makes travellers interested. But train travel interests people because of other things.
In the fast-paced times we live in, travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, talk with friends, or do nothing but watch the changing sights outside.
One surprising thing is that you might meet new people. Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world — the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sheng met a Russian student and they became friends. "I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds(瓜子). Though we didn't understand each other's language, it made me feel nice."
　　根据短文内容回答下列问题
1.When did China's first panda-themed tourist train leave Chengdu for Zunyi (不超过5个词)
2.Why did the panda-themed tourist train become the talk of China (不超过10个词)
3.What food does this train have for passengers (不超过5个词)
4.What is a surprising thing about the train travel (不超过5个词)
5.新考法Do you want to take the panda-themed tourist train Why or why not (不超过15个词)
