In fact, no one in the beautiful lake city of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province had bothered to spare a thought on water. www.ks5u.com     But all that changed dramatically overnight last month when taps in the city ran dry. Due to a blue-green algae(藻类)  outbreak in Taihu Lake, China’s third largest freshwater lake and the source of drinking water for 4 million Wuxi residents(居民),water from the city’s taps became dark and smelly. www.ks5u.com    “I can’t believe there is no water for drinking, let alone cooking and washing,” said Ｇu. www.ks5u.com    The lake was blanketed with the algae, giving off a strong smell of rotting meat. A stone thrown into it took a long time to sink. Experts said that algae usually boom because of hot water and rich chemicals like phosphor(磷)in the water. www.ks5u.com    “High temperature and a lack of rain in the past few months helped the growth of algae,” said Zhang Lijun, an official from the State Environment Protection Administration. “However, pollution from human activity should be most blamed for the disaster. ”     Taihu Lake is surrounded by many small factories, which sprang up in the 1980s. Inthe 1990s,many foreign-funded(外资的) companies joined in. The industries prospered(繁荣)，Wuxi has grown into one of the wealthiest cities in East China. www.ks5u.com     But that came at the price of pollution. The lake was treated like a waste dump(垃圾堆)，with factories emptying industrial waste and untreated sewage(污水)into it. www.ks5u.com     Although, after the government's effort, life in the city has gone back to normal, the one-week crisis（危机）rang a bell for the government and local people. ” It’s time to rebuild the beauty of nature, or our lives will be at risk,” said Gu. www.ks5u.com    “A safe environment comes first. Economic growth will be nothing without fresh water to drink and clean air to breathe. ” said China Daily. www.ks5u.com 43 The following can help the blue green algae grow______  A. high water temperature   B. rich chemicals in the water C. a lack of rain                 D. plentiful water and sunshine 44.

The building was originally designed to be a 94-floor office tower with a height of 460 metres. www.ks5u.com The project broke ground in 1997 but was later halted as a result of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia. www.ks5u.com “As the economy warms up, we are more confident about Shanghai and the whole China and we are working hard to get the Project restarted as soon as possible,” said Katsuyuki Takeuchi, vice-president and general manager of the  Shanghai World Financial Centre Company. www.ks5u.com Its parent company, Japan-based Moil Building Co. Ltd, established the Shanghai subsidiary as the operator responsible for this ambitious project. The design, which is undergoing revision in apian, will accommodate international  high-tech  businesses, department stores, art galleries, clubs and a five-star hotel. Unlike the gloomy economies of the United States, Europe and Japan, China enjoys a strong growth with brighter prospects, Takeuchi said. www.ks5u.com More capital and businesses are expected to flow into Shanghai, which aims to become a world centre for trade and the financial industry--with Lujiazui as its showpiece. www.ks5u.com The layout of Luijiazui includes three tall buildings, one of which is the completed Jinmao Tower, each rising above 400 metres, as designed by local government after holding an international design competition early last decade. www.ks5u.com Other buildings nearby fall in height gradually, creating a special shape against the skyline. The Shanghai World Financial Centre will be built as the peak of the mountain. “The peak will be safe thanks to the perfect design, advanced technology and the stable social and political environment in Shanghai,” Takeuchi said, reassuring those who might be anxious about the safety of the soon-to-be world's tallest building. www.ks5u.com   48.

And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers. www.ks5u.com A recent conference in xiamen，Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co一sponsored(共同发起)by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland. Fujian is the province where both proposed mutes would begin. www.ks5u.com There is no direct passenger access(通道)between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment. www.ks5u.com Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later，although there is a lack of government funding(资金). There  are no technical problems t0 build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits. www.ks5u.com A professor of TsinghHa University said，“A special feature of  huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the  period of construction. ” For example，he said，the English channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Corges(三峡)dam on the Yangze River began in the 1950s. www.ks5u.com The xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route，which would  use the Taiwan-controlled  islands of Jinmen  and Penghu as steppingstones. www.ks5u.com The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that traveling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes. www.ks5u.com The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in  Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020. www.ks5u.com   52. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present? A. The English Channel Tunnel. www.ks5u.com B.

D 解析：题目的意思是指现在世界上最长的已经建成的隧道。英吉利海峡隧道并没有在文章中提到是否是最长的；根据文章的最后一段，法国到意大利的海峡隧道还未建成；台湾海峡隧道虽是文章介绍的主题，但还在计划之中，所以文章没有告诉我们答案。 53. D 解析：英吉利海峡隧道的例子在第八段，主要是为了证明第七段的观点。 54. A 解析：文章只提到计划是台湾和大陆的大学发起，没有提到国外的大学，故A项不对；B项不能只看文章最后一段提到法国至意大利的海峡隧道是最长的，而the project(台湾海峡隧道)比它要长的多；c项在第五段提到；D项在第四段提到。 55. B  解析：从第六段的But it will require and improved political relationship across the Straits. 中"require(需要)”，说明这方面还是障碍；虽然第六段中提到A项，但句中用了although(尽管)这个词，可见资金方面不是主要问题；c项是文章一开始就说明已经完成的事项；D项从第六段There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. 得知，也是不成问题的。   四、短文改错 56. 去掉being 。is being called是现在进行时态的被动语态。此处应该用一般现在时。is called表示“被称为……”。 57. the改为a 。have a history of…为固定用法。 58. √。 59. when改为that。此处是强调句型。 60. 在build前面加to。It is+adj. +to do sth. 结构中，it为形式主语。动词不定式是真正的主语。 61. some改为any。without表示否定意义。 62. were改为was。work为不可数名词，谓语动词用单数形式。 63. hungry改为hunger。die 0f cold and hunger：死于寒冷和饥饿. 。 64. interesting改为interest。习惯用法。a place 0f interest：名胜。风景。 65. in改为from。表示“来自世界各地”。应用介词from。 五、书面表达 Dear Tom, I'm glad to know that you're coming to Taiwan Island.
