Some bridges are suspended at dizzy heights, others stretch for miles. Take a look at some of the world's greatest bridges.
THE MOST TERRIFYING—Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge
If you're afraid of heights, you might not want to walk along the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge in central China, which is the world's longest and highest glass bridge. It is suspended 300 metres above the ground, and walkers can see the sheer(陡峭的) drop below as they walk over 99 glass panels. The terrifying structure was completed in December 2015 and cost around £ 2.6 million to build. How safe is it? To test it, Chinese officials struck the bridge with hammers and drove a car over it.
THE TILTING (倾斜的) BRIDGE—Gateshead Millennium Bridge
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge in the north - east of England is the world's first tilting bridge. A tilting bridge is a moving bridge that uses motors to lift the arching structure—rather than opening in the middle and lifting up like a drawbridge—to allow ships to pass underneath. It has eight motors and can tilt at about 40° in four and a half minutes, making it a most extraordinary one throughout the world. Opened to the public in 2001, the bridge spans the River Tyne.
THE LONGEST BRIDGE—Danyang - Kunshan Grand Bridge
At an enormous 102 miles, Danyang - Kunshan Grand Bridge in China is the world's longest bridge. Its span is the same as the distance from Birmingham to London, and it took a workforce of 10 000 people four years to complete it. Around 450 000 tons of steel was used in its construction, and it is so stable that it can stand 8 - magnitude earthquakes or being hit by a 300 000 - ton ship. It can even cope with the power of a strong typhoon.
21. Why is Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge the most terrifying bridge?
A. It is made of glass.
B. It is the longest bridge.
C. It towers high in the sky.
D. It stands hammer - hitting.
22. What is special of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge?
A. It is the world's first moving bridge.
B. It can open in the middle and lift up.
C. It costs tons of steel in the construction.
D. It uses 8 motors to tilt in a few minutes.
23. What do these three bridges have in common?
A. They took millions to complete.
B. They span an astonishing length.

Well, let's continue from where we stopped last time. I'm sure you're well aware of the dangers lurking (潜伏) on the World Wide Web. And whether it's for schoolwork, entertainment, or just socializing with friends, the Internet will surely be a major part of your child's life. So, it's important to secure their online stays.
It's not an easy task, but maintaining open communication is key. Let them know they can share their online activities with you. Discuss what interests them online and learn about popular websites and apps from them. This will help you understand and identify potential risks.
Next, monitor without spying. Most kids learn to understand boundaries, like respecting others' personal space, or not opening the cookie jar without asking. Internet use is no different. It's helpful to set clear rules for them, like which websites they can visit, which apps they can use, and what they can share online. Remind them that if they feel uneasy with anything that occurs online, they need to alert (使警觉) an adult immediately.
How you handle your kids' Internet usage will depend in large part on their age. There are websites and browsing tools designed for younger children, such as YouTube Kids, which aims to provide a safe online experience for children. Older kids may be allowed more freedom since they want to socialize and need to use the Internet for information - gathering. But you can set boundaries that feel right for you. Just limit their access appropriately.
Allowing your children to make good decisions online teaches them responsibility, shows that you trust them, and reminds them that rules may be tightened if they disobey them. Stay tuned.

When people think about British music, for the most part they think about the 60s or 70s with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or more modern artists like Adele or Ed Sheeran. However, stuck between these two ages was, in my opinion, British music's best period. The 90s were a positive time for Britain and indeed Europe, with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold War ending.
One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”. This was a style of pop music that aimed to promote “Britishness” and commonly featured electric guitars, drums and male singers. Britpop was the style used by world - famous bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Suede who became known as “The Big Four”. The summer of 1995 was controlled by the “Battle of Britpop” which was between Blur and Oasis for the number one spot. Eventually, Blur won the battle and Oasis settled for second.
However, the 90s weren't only for the boys, with major female groups also finding fame, the most well - known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world. Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies(朗朗上口的旋律) and lyrics, but they also started the “Girl Power” movement which helped empower(给予……力量) girls and women worldwide. It isn't too far to imagine that without their music, many female singers and artists who we love today would not have had the confidence to pursue (追求) their dream.
British music may have had many great times, however the 90s are often overlooked. Although I was not alive to enjoy the music properly, the 90s had a huge impact on British culture that can be felt today and I feel that the decade should get the recognition it deserves(应得)!
28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The Cold War came to an end in the 80s.
B. Britain's economy began to pick up in the 90s.
C. The Beatles represented the best British music.
D. Adele is better than Ed Sheeran in modern music.
29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Britpop. B. Britishness.
C. The Big Four. D. Battle of Britpop.
30. What's the most important influence of “the Spice Girls” according to the text?
A. Promoting “Britishness”.
B. Empowering girls and women.
C. Creating catchy melodies.
D. Finding fame for female groups.
31. The writer thinks the impact of the 90s music on British culture is ________.
A. undervalued B. well - recognized
C. fairly treated D. reasonably doubted

答案： 28.B　29.A　30.B　31.A　

D
Most people would be afraid of entering waters with crocodiles (鳄鱼), but not Sao Chan. Like others living in a jungle village, the 73 - year - old farmer says the Siamese crocodiles found in the waterways may look ferocious, but they should not be treated with prejudice(偏见). “If we come close to them, they just run away,” Chan says.
He's right. There have been extremely few reported attacks by Siamese crocodiles on humans in the world, and reportedly none anywhere in Cambodia. Instead, it's the crocodiles that have every reason to fear people. Once common throughout Southeast Asia, the extremely shy Siamese crocodile, which can grow up to 10 feet long, was for decades hunted for its skin and meat to such an extent that, in the early 1990s, the species was thought to be extinct in the wild.
Some of them survived in the Cardamoms, however, where populations of the reptiles(爬行动物), likely numbering fewer than 200 individuals in total, were rediscovered in 2000. Since then, local people have conducted regular patrols(定期巡逻) to protect them from threats. While the patrols and other conservation efforts have helped prevent the extinction of the Siamese crocodiles, concerns about the species' long - term survival have remained because population numbers have stayed largely flat since their rediscovery.
In 2022, conservationists have introduced more Siamese crocodiles into the wild than ever before, not just in the Cardamoms but for the first time into a wildlife reserve in the northern part of the country, where the crocodiles historically were found. Advances in genetic testing have identified crocodiles suitable for release (释放), and satellite (卫星) tracking of reintroduced crocodiles has improved protection efforts.
“We have a long way to go, but the potential comeback of the Siamese crocodile could be Cambodia's most successful conservation story,” says Pablo Sinovas, who leads a nonprofit reintroducing the animals. “Its survival isn't just an ecological necessity, but a symbolic matter of urgency if we have any hope of preserving nature on Earth.”
32. What does the underlined word “ferocious” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Violent. B. Friendly.
C. Ugly. D. Abnormal.
33. What almost cost Siamese crocodiles' extinction?
A. Habitat loss.
B. Water pollution.
C. Human activities.
D. Poor adaptability.
34. Why are protectors worried about Siamese crocodiles?
A. They are regularly hurt by tourists.
B. Their amount isn't increased as expected.
C. The locals lack awareness of protecting them.
D. They fail to adapt to unfamiliar surroundings.
35. What plays a great role in crocodiles' reintroduction?
A. Frequent patrols.
B. Modern technology.
C. Economic advances.
D. Genetic changes.
