Passage A
Do you know the earliest London Bridge? Not much is known about it, though its original place is thought to be near the present one. The second bridge, a wooden one that was built in Saxon times, seems to have given rise to the nursery rhyme (童谣) “London Bridge is falling down”， which it did in 1014. In 1176 the first stone bridge was built. Houses appeared on both sides of the bridge and it stood more than six hundred years until it was pulled down in 1813, making room for a new one north of the old London Bridge, which cost more than ten years to build. As it was not wide enough for heavy traffic, the “new” bridge was replaced in 1967. The present London Bridge is more than 100 feet wide.
The London Bridge before the present one was bought in the 1960s by the McCulloch Oil Corporation of
California, which rebuilt it stone by stone at Lake Havens City, in a corner of America's Arizona Desert. There is a rumor (传言) saying that the McCulloch Oil Corporation believed they were buying the much more excellent Tower Bridge.
By the way, the Tower Bridge was built from 1885 and was opened 9 years later by Edward Ⅶ， the Prince of Wales at that time. It is the only bridge in London that is big enough for ships to pass. Since the Thames is no longer used as much as a trade and shipping route (航道), the Tower Bridge is only used 4 or 5 times a week.
The Tower Bridge is often mistaken for London Bridge, which is dull in comparison (相比之下). The Tower Bridge is one of the finest, most recognizable bridges in the world, on which you can enjoy breathtaking views of London.
1．How many “London Bridges” were there before the present one? A．Five. B．Four. C．Three. D．Two.
2．Why did the McCulloch Oil Corporation buy the London Bridge in the 1960s? A．Because they preferred the Tower Bridge to London Bridge. B．Because they thought they were buying the Tower Bridge.
C．Because they thought they could use it to solve the traffic problem.
D．Because they wanted Americans to visit London Bridge in their own country. 3．From this passage we can know that________.
A．London Bridge is more excellent than the Tower Bridge B．the Tower Bridge is more excellent than London Bridge
C．both London Bridge and the Tower Bridge can allow ships to pass D．neither London Bridge nor the Tower Bridge can allow ships to pass 4．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．The nursery rhyme mentioned in the passage is about the first London Bridge. B．The present London Bridge is not wide enough. C．The Tower Bridge was opened in 1885.
D．The Tower Bridge was used much more than nowadays.
Passage B
The world's largest mud volcano will continue erupting for another 26 years, scientists said today. Indonesia's Lusi volcano first erupted in 2005，killing 13 people and forced 13,000 families to move in East Java.
Now in the first reliable estimation of how long the volcano will continue erupting, experts believe Lusi will not rest until 2037. Scientists from Durham University used pressure estimations from a nearby hole and
knowledge of the volcano's plumbing (铅锤测探). As the mud continues to spew out，the team estimates that the volcano area itself could sink by up to half a kilometer.
Lead researcher Professor Richard Davies said, “The mud from the Lusi volcano has covered a huge area of the Porong sub-district of Sidoarjo，but how long it will continue to be a hazard has been unknown. Our estimate is that it will take 26 years for the eruption to drop to a level which can be controlled.”
They calculated the flow based on observations of pressure of the source of water from a nearby hole，the properties of the rocks supplying the water to the volcano，and the volumes of mud that had already erupted over the first three years. But they ignored the effect of gas in the mud at Lusi, which could help the volcano to erupt for even longer.
Subsidence (下沉) is causing 166 new vents (火山口). The researchers are now looking at where these vents are likely to form. Professor Davies believes these additional vents will cause further damage to homes，roads and the railway line.
Professor Davies will visit the volcano to conduct further research. His team's findings were published in the Journal of the Geological Society.
5.What is special about the world's largest mud volcano in Indonesia? A．It has caused only a few deaths. B．It used to be a dead volcano.
C．It erupts every several years. D．It will keep erupting for many years. 6．Paragraph 2 DOESN'T tell us________.
A．why the volcano keeps erupting B．when the volcano will stop erupting
C．how much the volcano area will sink D．how experts reached their estimation 7．What does the underlined word“hazard”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Surprise. B．Danger. C．Risk. D．Question. 8．It is implied in Paragraph 4 that________. A．the estimation might be wrong B．gas in the volcano may stop the eruption C．fire is often seen at the top of the volcano
D．it is easy to know how long the volcano will continue to erupt
Passage C
As I was leaving the grocery store yesterday, I noticed an old man walking along the road, struggling with two sacks of food, so I pulled up near him and put the window down to ask if he needed a ride. I think he was a bit skeptical since few people go out of their way to do these sorts of things, but he did accept.
After he got settled in the car, my husband and I introduced ourselves, but he was very quiet and reluctant to give his name. During the drive, we tried to make him more comfortable with some small talk. We talked about the weather and the like. His home was more than two miles away on rough streets. It would have been a difficult walk for anyone, let alone an old man carrying bags.
When we pulled up outside his door, the first thing he asked was, “How much money do you want？” My husband and I both answered, “Nothing, we just wanted to help.”The shock and relief on this man's face made us sad, because we should be able to live in a world where it isn't shocking to have someone help you out of the goodness of their heart without expecting something in return. After realizing we truly didn't want anything, he kept thanking us over and over.
My only words to him were, “Sir, I hope this helped you out and have a good week.” This simple act of kindness, just seeing an old person walking and then doing something about it, is the type of kindness that anyone can do. It doesn't cost a cent. Just be aware of the world happening around you. There is always someone who needs something－holding a door, carrying a bag ...the opportunities are endless. And I truly hope this may be a beginning for this man to practice acts of kindness－of kindness－just because it happened to him.
9．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that________. A．the old man was a very easygoing person
B．the old man didn't like to talk about weather C．the old man introduced himself first
D．the writer and her husband were very caring 10．According to the passage, the writer________. A．called on readers to help those in need of help B．said nothing to the old man as she drove away C．hoped that the old man could help her next time D．thought everyone should care for the elderly
