9、Travel spent a day climbing into and around the bridge, learning these secrets from the people who know and love it best.Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge? Its not golden.“The Golden Gate Bridge gets its name because it spans what is called the Golden Gate Strait,” said Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz
10、, spokesman for the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, which operates the bridge. Its a three-mile-long and one-mile-wide body of water that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay.What color is the bridge? It looks red.“Its not red, although youre not crazy to thin
11、k so. Visitors all call it red,” said Russell. “Back in the day, the US Navy, then part of the War Department, oversaw the waterways and wanted to paint this bridge black and yellow for high visibility,” said fellow painter Jarrod Bauer. “They ended up mixing paint to create the color International
12、Orange, which is similar to the color of red lead,” he said.Does the bridge get entirely painted every year?No, and it doesnt need to be. Its true that the top coat has been fully repainted over time with new and environmentally-improved International Orange top coats.Who performs bridge rescues?McV
13、eigh and his fellow ironworkers, the so-called “Cowboys of the Sky”, have that responsibility. McVeigh has lost count of how many troubled souls hes been called to rescue over the past 17 years.In September in 2018, the bridge started constructing a suicide (自杀) prevention system, also known as the
14、safety net, to keep people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Its expected to be completed in 2021.21. Whats the true color of the Golden Gate Bridge?A. Red. B. Red lead.C. Black and yellow.

It took much time and money to be built.D. It needs to be repainted once a year.BIf you were asked to imagine a scientist, what
16、 image would come to your mind? The idea that most of the kids have is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and cups of colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke. As for adults, the majority regard scientists as strange people who spend a lot of time working in a lonely lab
17、. However, the reality is quite different.Recently Ive had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my lab and into Costa Rica. It has a large amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It is home to more than 500,000 species (物种), which re
18、presents nearly 4% of the species worldwide!First we worked to protect wildlife at a leatherback turtle (棱皮龟) protection center. We helped the volunteers to remove rubbish from the beach to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out. After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied s
19、eismic (地壳的) activity relating to earthquakes. During our stay at Arenal, we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest. On the last day we got a professional introduction of rocket (火箭) science and learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the interna
20、tional space station.During my Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesnt mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is the one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping protect wildlife, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets
21、. I think that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals. Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!24. According to Paragraph 1, scientists are often believed _.A. to do experiments in messy labsB. to spend too much time in labsC. to wear cl
22、othes in a different wayD. to work in dangerous conditions25. In Costa Rica, the author _.A. experienced an earthquake B. took part in rocket experimentsC. picked up rubbish on the beach D. helped the volunteers collect turtle eggs26. What does the author learn about science from his experience?A. S
23、cience is full of boring experiments. B. Science is related to chemical liquids.C. Science is more than working in a lab.D. Science is about wildlife and earthquakes.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. What a Scientist Is Like B. Where a Scientist WorksC. How I Travelled in Costa RicaD. Wh
24、y I Chose to Study ScienceCSam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctors education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.“Poetry
25、is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry. And if we do anything when were with our patients, were really immersing (使沉浸于) ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, thats what a poem does,” he said.Rafael wo
26、rries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from hi
27、s or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think theres no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because theres just so much power in doctors and
28、patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes thats what doctors should do, though.Rafael said, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of
29、treatment, if its happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasnt survived the cancer. Dont we still have a role as healers there?”In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world mad
30、e painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.28. What do we know about Rafael Campo?A. He works as a doctor. B. He is under medical care.C. He is a literature professor. D. He knows little about poetry.29.
31、What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2?A. The importance of medical training.B. The effect of poetry in medical treatment.C. The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.D. The present relationship between patients and doctors.30. What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry?A. It comfor
32、ts patients family. B. It contributes to medical work.C. It has nothing to do with doctors. D. It keeps doctors away from patients.31. What is Rafael Campos view on poetry?A. It requires a lot of spare time. B. It can provide a useful tool for doctors.C. It has little effect on patients conditions.
33、D. It should be included in emergency treatments.DConvincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe (部落). If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties. You cant expect someone to change their mind if you take away their c
34、ommunity too.The way to change peoples minds is to become friends with them, to combine them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals wi
35、th those who disagree with us: “Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them without punishment. Prejudice and conflict between groups of people from different nations or races feed off abstraction. However,
36、during a meal, something about handing dishes around, unfolding napkins (餐巾纸) at the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold the belief that the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or attacked. For all
37、the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict, there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together.”Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that produces tribalism and unf
38、riendliness. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincolns quote, “I dont like that man. I must get to know him better.” Facts dont change our minds. Friendship does.The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to brea
39、k down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, cooperate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We
40、are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting. Its easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.The word “kind (family and relatives)” originated from the word “kin (old fashion of family and relatives).” When you are kind to someone, it means you are treatin
41、g them like family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someones mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later.32. People are likely to change their mind when they _.A. change their beliefsB. are made friends withC. move to a new communityD. a
42、re given somewhere to go33. What does the underlined word “proximity” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Nearness. B. Action. C. Communication. D. Politeness.34. The author quotes from Haruki Murakami to imply that _.A. breaking down ones reality is easyB. kindness is more important than rightC. arguing and win
43、ning are not importantD. losing ones identity is a painful process35. According to the passage, sharing meals is effective in building connections because it _.A. pleases people with different beliefs or accentsB. makes people focus on eating rather than conflictsC. brings benefits to the people hav

Its time to get started. But whats next? The beginning of college life can be an exciting
45、 but awkward time. Follow these tips to adapt to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience. To save time and money, use the colleges bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. 36 Its also a good way to be environmentally aware. 37 You
46、 might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks its a good way to save money and serves the purpose as well. Do never look at college life as endless parties and social activities. There is a whole lot more to college if youre serious
47、 about graduating. 38 Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your studies. If the dorm doesnt suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. 39 Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out
48、 noise. 40 Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year. While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldnt entirely
