Experts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.
The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers―more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel.And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.
A recent conference in xiamen,F(xiàn)ujian Province brought together more than 70 experts.The event was co一sponsored(共同發(fā)起)by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.Fujian is the province where both proposed mutes would begin.
There is no direct passenger access(通道)between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.
Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later,although there is a lack of government funding(資金).There are no technical problems t0 build a Taiwan tunnel.But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits.
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(三峽)dam on the Yangze River began in the 1950s.
The xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route,which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as steppingstones.
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.
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.
48.Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?
A.The English Channel Tunnel.
B.The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.

50.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored(贊助)the plan.
B. If the project is completed,the world's longest tunnel will appear. .
C.You can't reach

科目:高中英語 來源:20102011學(xué)年福建省高二下學(xué)期第一次月考英語卷 題型:閱讀理解
On the outside Betsy Lueth’s school looks like any other in Minneapolis. Yet inside, it is
Yinghua Academy, a public school where elementary(小學(xué))students study subjects ranging from
math to American history in Chinese.
Yinghua, the first such immersion(沉浸式)program in the Midwest is on the leading edge (前沿) of a movement that in recent years has seen Chinese language programs spread rapidly throughout the U.S.
The idea behind Yinghua is to introduce kids to the language and culture as early as possible —ideally, before age 12. Kindergarteners and first graders are taught in Chinese and a single period of English is introduced in second grade. By sixth grade, kids are learning half in English and half in Chinese, with the expectation of fluency in both. In Yinghua’s classrooms, the walls are covered not with ABCs but with pictures and Chinese characters.
There are many challenges at Yinghua. Most teachers come from Taiwan or mainland China, and cultural misunderstandings are very common. Lueth’s teachers are learning to be tolerant of local customs — as well as a lot more parental input (家長看法) than they are used to. “In China, teachers are respected. They are not questioned,” says Luyi Lien, Yinghua’s Taiwan-born director. “In America, parents are more expressive of their opinions.”
Research has shown that in the long run, immersion programs can provide benefits, including more flexible, creative thinking. Though students from the programs fall behind for a few years in English, by fifth grade they perform as well as or better than their monolingual(單語言)peers on standardized reading and math tests. For multicultural families, the psychological (心理上的) help can also be important. Lueth, a former teacher, co-founded the school as a way to expose her adopted Chinese daughter Lucy to her native culture. Lucy used to be annoyed when cousins asked why her skin color was different from theirs; before she started at Yinghua, she resisted exploring anything related to China. Now, Lueth says, Lucy proudly answers her cousins, “Yeah, I was born in China.”

A.it offers subjects to students mostly in Chinese

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that immersion program _________.
A.enables students pass tests more easily
B.benefits students in learning psychology
C.helps some students accept the local customs
D.contributes to the better development of students
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Teachers in Yinghua have difficulty in understanding the local culture.
B.Parents are discouraged to speak out their opinions of the school in Yinghua.
C.The students in Yinghua are expected to speak English and Chinese fluently.
