About 2300 years ago, the area around Chengdu had bad floods (洪水) in spring every year.Flood water from the mountains flowed (流动) down the Minjiang River and covered the land.Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li Bing, was a water engineer.The king of Qin provided the money and asked the governor to solve the problem.
The usual method of avoiding flooding is to build a wall across the river, called a dam.Special openings in the dam allow the flow of water to be controlled.However, the king had also asked Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river.This was necessary because the king needed to send food to his army.So Li Bing studied the situation and came up with a plan—a plan that still works today!
Helped by his son, and tens of thousands of workers from the area, Li Bing built a man-made island in the middle of the river.This island was shaped like a fish and it divided the water into an inner river and an outer river.The inner river was deeper than but not as wide as the outer river.It took four years to build the island.
Li Bing also cut a new channel (运河) through Mount Yulei.This channel would take water away to irrigate (灌溉) the land in the flat farmland below.The rock of the mountain was very hard and difficult to cut.Li Bing used fire to heat the rock and then water to cool it quickly.This made the rock break into smaller pieces which could be carried away more easily.Cutting the channel took eight years!
After Li Bing’s work was finished, there were no more floods, and the Dujiangyan irrigation system (灌溉系统) allowed the farmers to grow more and more food.The river flowed naturally, and because there was no dam, ships and fish could pass freely.Sichuan became the most productive area in China, as it still is today. This work and the name of Li Bing live on.
1.What was Li Bing’s job (no more than 11 words)
2.Why did the king ask Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river (no more than 10 words)
3.How long did it take Li Bing to cut a new channel (no more than 5 words)

Nature is wonderful.It is our best teacher.It teaches us a lot and we are born to learn from it to solve 1.problems.For example,scientists used what they saw in nature to improve our way of travelling.In days of high-speed train research and 2.development,scientists were once faced with a noise problem.The trains pushed air through tunnels at 3.high speeds.So,when a train came out of a tunnel,it could be very,very noisy.
However,kingfisher birds hardly make a sound when they get into lakes or rivers.Engineers 4.got a clever idea.They changed the front of the trains to match the shape of the kingfisher.Then the air could easily pass over the trains.The problem was solved!
The kingfisher 5.birds’ example is just one that we learned from nature.Scientists study the smart models that nature can 6.offer.Then they use their wisdom(智慧) and imagination to design new products.Nature provides us with 7.endless possibilities to find wonderful ways to improve our lives.Learning from nature knows no bounds(永无止境)!

(2023·潜江中考改编)
About 2300 years ago, the area around Chengdu had bad floods (洪水) in spring every year.Flood water from the mountains flowed (流动) down the Minjiang River and covered the land.Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li Bing, was a water engineer.The king of Qin provided the money and asked the governor to solve the problem.
The usual method of avoiding flooding is to build a wall across the river, called a dam.Special openings in the dam allow the flow of water to be controlled.However, the king had also asked Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river.This was necessary because the king needed to send food to his army.So Li Bing studied the situation and came up with a plan—a plan that still works today!
Helped by his son, and tens of thousands of workers from the area, Li Bing built a man-made island in the middle of the river.This island was shaped like a fish and it divided the water into an inner river and an outer river.The inner river was deeper than but not as wide as the outer river.It took four years to build the island.
Li Bing also cut a new channel (运河) through Mount Yulei.This channel would take water away to irrigate (灌溉) the land in the flat farmland below.The rock of the mountain was very hard and difficult to cut.Li Bing used fire to heat the rock and then water to cool it quickly.This made the rock break into smaller pieces which could be carried away more easily.Cutting the channel took eight years!
After Li Bing’s work was finished, there were no more floods, and the Dujiangyan irrigation system (灌溉系统) allowed the farmers to grow more and more food.The river flowed naturally, and because there was no dam, ships and fish could pass freely.Sichuan became the most productive area in China, as it still is today.Today, scientists and visitors from all over the world come to look at this wonderful example of engineering.This work and the name of Li Bing live on.
1.What was Li Bing’s job (no more than 11 words)
He, the Qin governor, was a water engineer./He was a governor, a water engineer./A water engineer./A governor.
2.Why did the king ask Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river (no more than 10 words)

3.How long did it take Li Bing to cut a new channel (no more than 5 words)

【参考范文】
Why should we protect wild animals
Do you know of any endangered animals Why are they in danger
I think there are many endangered animals in the world,such as tigers and pandas.When farmers cut down trees, tigers can no longer hide.Many tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money.And there are few places where pandas can live.
We could not live without plants and animals around us.So protecting wild animals is very important.We must keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed.If each of us can plant a tree and build a birdhouse,the world will be more beautiful.It is very easy and useful.
