There was a garden full of plants. In the corner of the garden, a      1      rose grew. She was the most beautiful flower there. She was as white as snow, and the plants around her were surprised      2      her beauty. But the white rose couldn’t see      3      , so she didn’t know how beautiful she was.

Sometimes, she was even a little envious (羡慕的) of the sunflowers around her. She hoped that she could be as lovely as them.

One sunny day, a girl went into the      4     . She walked around and was amazed at the beauty of nature.

With more and more cars on the road, traffic jams are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to increased accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it's impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.

Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.

Look for a different route permanently. Most traffic jams occur on busy roads. Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.

Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.

_____. Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid commuting altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.

Use public transport alternatives where available. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises.

15．The underlined word ''inevitable'' in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A．hard to accept

B．impossible to avoid

C．getting less serious

D．seen everywhere

A．surfing the Internet

B．listening to the radio for traffic news

C．listening to the traffic channel

D．turning to other drivers for information

18．Which of the following can be put in the blank in the text?

B．Try traveling at different time

C．Make friends with your manager

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), the major construction work on the world’s cross-sea bridge, which connects Zhuhai in Guangdong Province with Hong Kong and Macao, was completed on Oct 23, 2018. Construction began in December 2009 at Zhuhai. The Y-shaped bridge starts from Lantau Island in Hong Kong with branches to Zhuhai and Macao.

More than 400000 tons of steel have been used for the 6.7 km undersea tunnel land 22.9 km bridge, enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers. British newspaper The Guardian named the mega structure ( 巨 型 建 筑 ) one of its “seven wonders of the modern world near completion.”

The bridge will cut travel time from Hong Kong to both Zhuhai and Macao from the current three hours by road or one hour by sea to a half-hour drive. It will bring people in Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong within a “one-hour living circle”, which is expected to attract more visitors to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The bridge will not only be a transport link. “It will be a social, economic, cultural, and tourism connection ( 联 系 ) among the three areas.” said Yu Lic, deputy director of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Authority.

Su Quanke chief engineer with the administration bureau of the bridge, said the project has made history in many aspects. “With a series of world advanced anti-erosion (抗腐蚀) and earthquake-resistant measures, the bridge can be used for 120 years,” he said. “If it were not for the progress of ‘Made in China’, we couldn’t possibly complete the construction in such a short time, The China technology and China standard set by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will influence ( 影响) the world market.”

24．It takes China  to complete the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

A．8 years B．9 years C．10 years

25．We can draw a simple picture of HZMB like  .

A．A B．B C．C

26．British newspaper The Guardian named the mega structure one of its “seven wonders of the modern world near completion” because  .

A．no one can design undersea tunnels

B．the bridge is taller than the Eiffel Tower

C．The bridge is such a huge construction

27．The third paragraph mainly talks about  .

A．the importance of HZMB B．the time to cross HZMB C．a one-hour living circle

28．From the last paragraph, we can infer that Su Quanke is  of the project.

How to make our school life better

How time flies! I have changed a lot in the past half term.

I become taller and stronger than before. And I am more hard-working in study. So my grades are higher than before. But there are also some problems for my classmates and me. We have no time for after-school activities. We don’t have enough sleep. And we can’t spare enough time to go out with our friends.

To make our school life better, I am going to join a club and I will do my favourite sports. I like basketball best and I want to be a great basketball player when I grow up.
