Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters (每天长途上下班的人) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.

There are no written or photographic records ofthe women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat skippers who have called it theLadiesBridge.

During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor-force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back-breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the surge (激增) in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.

September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled “theSingingBridge”, which runs at Somerset House from Sept9th. to Sept25th. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies Bridge” event saw the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections (投影片) of female construction workers working in construction during World War II.

Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live. 4. Why do few people know about the builders ofWaterlooBridge? A. The records of their work have been lost. B. Female workers received little attention. C. The construction took place long ago. D. Few people know about the bridge.

5. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A. There are less female workers inLondon. B.WaterlooBridgeis popular among artists. C. The story ofWaterlooBridgeis better known. D. Many works of art were created during World War II.

6. Why didLondonwomen do the construction work? A. It was a tradition inLondon. B. They wanted to get a steady job. C. Mostmen had gone to the battlefield. D. The company offered them better pay. 7. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Female Workers on the Rise B. A Hidden Treasure inLondon C. ANew LondonLandmark D. The Story behind theLadiesBridge

C

The herd of elephants moving north after leaving the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in Yunnan province has drawn widespread public attention, with tens of millions of people following its movement on TV programs and social media platforms.

But this is not because it’s the first time wild Asian Elephants have wandered away from their habitat and headed northward, but for only this time the herd has traveled more than 400 kilometers as far as Kunming. Photographs, videos and stories of the herd’s movement have sparked widespread discussions even overseas.

However, there is a need to go behind the “cute photos” and the seemingly “fantastic” event and identify the reasons why wild elephants are leaving their habitat, and find ways to establish harmonious human-animal relationship within habitats and the surrounding forests and human settlements. It is important to scientifically mark the limits of the habitats for elephants and other animals in Xishuangbanna and elsewhere in the country for ecological reasons as well.

Planting trees is a key and fundamental step toward restoration of nature. Yet long-term investment and a more scientific approach are needed to maintain the remaining forests as well as to extend the forest cover and strengthen conservation.

Nevertheless, tree cover alone doesn’t mean a suitable habitat for all animals, for different species need different types of vegetation to survive and breed. The elephant herd in Yunnan is a reminder that we have to scientifically conserve the existing forests and turn them into suitable habitats for different species of animals and birds, which will ultimately benefit humans.

More ambitious targets should be set to rebuild or improve the food chain, and measures taken to ensure

forest resources help wildlife flourish, in order to establish a harmonious human-animal relationship.

Forests around the globe are still shrinking, particularly those in tropical and developing countries. The next decade therefore will be extremely important for the world’s forests and wildlife, and China can play a leading role in saving them by better protecting its forests and expanding its forest cover. 8. Why has the herd of elephants caused so much public interest? A. There exist heated discussions in the whole country even overseas. B. TV programs and social media platforms want to benefit from them. C. They are the first wild Asian Elephants to leave their natural habitat.

D. The elephants has traveled a long distance and lived in harmony with humans. 9. What can we infer from the third paragraph about the “fantastic” event? A. More research on the reasons behind the event is required. B. Scientists need to limit the habitats for elephants and other animals. C. People should find ways to have a good relationship with elephants. D. There’s an urgent demand for detailed information about the elephants. 10. Which method is provided in the passage to restore nature? A. Expanding the coverage of forest. B. Getting the government’s policy support. C. Bringing up various ways to protect the forests. D. Offering more kinds of vegetation to all animals.

11. What does this event of elephants leaving their habitats remind us to do? A. To set more goals to change the food chain. B. To be aware of the situation of the existing forests. C. To realize harmonious coexistence of human and nature. D. To reduce the destruction of the forests around the globe.

D

In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact（影响）on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across town, coughing out emissions（产生排放）and using gas all the way. But now that we're used to staying at home and streaming movies, we might get a littleproud. After all, we're just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You're welcome. Mother Nature.

Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shift Project. According to \"Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Videohat energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would cause 1. 6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. That's like driving 6. 28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers（where videos are stored）there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.

Streaming is only expected to increase as webecome more enamored ofour digital devices（设备）and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it increases. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.

You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there're things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it's also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you're not using your devices.

12. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in? A. The environmental effects of driving private cars. B. The improvements on environmental awareness. C. The change in the way people seek entertainment. D The environmental impacts of screaming services.

13. What does the underlined phrase become more enamored of\" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Get more skeptical of. B. Become more aware of. C. Feel much crazier about. D. Get more worried about. 14. What can we infer about the use of streaming services? A. It is being reduced to protect the planet. B. Its environmental effects are worsening. C. It is easily available to almost everyone. D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.

15. Which of the following is the most environmentally-friendly?

A. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone. B. Downloading music on a personal computer. C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing. D. Playing online games over mobile networks. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
