The bridge was completed in 1883, after 13 years. In 1869, a creative engineer named John Roebling was 16 by
10、an idea to build a spectacular bridge 17 New York with the Long Island. 18 , bridge-building experts throughout the world thought that this was impossible and told Roebling to forget the idea.Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. After much discussion and persuasion
11、 he 19 to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge 20 could be built. The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway, a tragic accident took the life of John Roebling. Washington was also injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, whi
12、ch 21 him not being able to talk or walk. 22 his handicap, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning 23 to complete the bridge and his mind was still as 24 as ever. He didnt want to 25 . Suddenly an idea 26 him. All he could do was move one 27 and he decided to make the best use of it
13、. By moving this, he 28 developed a code of communication with his wife.For 13 years Washington tapped out his 29 with his finger on his wifes arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands for his determination not to be 30 by circumstances. It stands too
14、as a monument to the love and 31 of his wife who for 13 years long 32 decoded（解码）the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves a(n) 33 goal. Often when we fac
15、e obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles(障碍) seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that 34 that seem impossible can be realized with determination and persistence(坚持), no matter what the 35 are.16. A. inspiredB. promoted C. awarded D. pre

20、 degree. Isnt it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma(毕业文凭) represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University?More and more people are turning to an utter deception(欺骗) like this to land their first job or to move hea
21、d in their careers. For personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars(注册主任)at most well-known colleges
22、say that they deal with dishonest claims like these at the rate of about one per week.Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One lvy League school refers to them
23、as “special cases”, One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says these claims are made by “no such people”.To avoid complete lies, some job seekers claim that they “attended” or “were associated with” a college or university. After careful checking, a personnel
24、officer may discover that “attending” means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that “being as sociated with” a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to
25、the turn of the centurythats when they began keeping records, anyhow.If you dont want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of non-existent
26、colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State University”. The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for o
27、ne sheet of paper.36. The writer mainly wants to tell us that _.A. college degrees can now be purchased easilyB. it is very hard for people to find jobsC. lying about college degrees is becoming a widespread problemD. employers are no longer interested in applicants actual performances37. The underl
28、ined word “utter” in the second paragraph means “_”.A. thoroughB. carefulC. incompleteD. spoken38. Once finding applicants with false diplomas, most colleges would _.A. keep the records of themB. drive them out of collegeC. avoid direct conflicts with themD. accuse them of such behavior39. We can le
29、arn from the passage that _.A. US employers value their job applicants with a degree from top universitiesB. University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same schoolC. people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in the US easilyD. people pay the same price for a fake diploma from differ
30、ent universitiesBThe crisis at Japans Fukushima Daiichi nuclear energy center caused by the terrible earthquake has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster i
31、n Japan is historic. This week, the chairman of Americas nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation(辐射) from Japan could reach the United States. Gregory also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been bui
32、lt in the United States since 1979. That was when Americas worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy. At present, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy
33、. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany would close seven nuclear powercenters for the time being while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations. Developing nations are less willing to slow down the development of nuc
34、lear. China says it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear reactors(核反应堆). And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years. Nuclear reactors supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear ene
35、rgy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious problem to be solved. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, lran.40. We can learn from the text that America _. A. experienced a terrible nuclear accident 32 ye
36、ars agoB. has a strong program to deal with radiation dangerC. depends heavily on nuclear energy to produce electricityD. will check all the reactors before cooperating with India41. According to the text, which country will be most likely to have a similar disaster?A. German.B. IranC. India.D. Chin
37、a.42. How does the author seem to feel about the future of nuclear energy?A. Satisfied.B. Pleased.C. Worried.D. Surprised.43. The best title of the text is _. A. Various Opinions on Japans Nuclear DisasterB. Japans Disaster is Likely to Run Out of ControlC. America Shows Great Concern for Japans Nuc
38、lear CrisisD. Japans Disaster Throws Doubt on Nuclear Energy IndustryCIf cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.“Its
39、next wow vehicle,” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.”The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The
40、Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Tr
41、ansition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land, you hold up the wings and hit the road.
42、 There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home.The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Thrrafugia says the Transition reduces
43、the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界的) conditions.The Transitions price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, , a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.“If yo
44、u get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option.” Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “Were working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.44. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.A. car-planes
45、 will be popular in 2012-4-6B. people might drive a car-plane in 2012C. both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts45. It takes the car-plane one minute to _. A. fold and unfold its wingsB. unfold wings for flyingC. land in the airport
46、D. meet flying safety regulations46. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.B. To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.C. The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.D. People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.D Angry survivors demanded a
