When places are well-known and popular— historical and modern alike— we might take it for granted that

they’ll be around forever. But sadly, many of the world’s best known and culturally significant landmarks are in

trouble.

Mount Kilimanjaro’s peak

This mountain, one of the Seven Summits, proves that even giants can fall to climate change due to the vast

amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While the mountain itself, located in Tanzania, isn’t in danger at

present, its iconic snow cap might disappear—and shockingly soon. Research found that the snow cap had lost 85%

of the total area of its ice fields between 1912 and 2007, and the remaining ice could be history as early as 2030.

Machu Picchu

Located in southern Peru, Machu Picchu is the remains of a huge stone castle that was built during the 15th

century. These unbelievable Incan ruins are widely considered one of the must-see spots in South America.

However, the site has been a victim of over-tourism, seeing the harmful effects of the crowds it gets as they wear

down the structures. In addition, the area surrounding Machu Picchu has seen rapid development of the cities, as

well as mudslides and fires, in recent years, leading UNESCO to work for its protection.

Everglades National Park

This stunning Floridian wildlife reserve has sadly found itself fighting for its life in recent years. As ‘the

largest subtropical wilderness reserve’ in North America, according to UNESCO, it’s been a beloved travel

destination for American citizens for decades, but the damage of time and human activity have not been kind to it.

Its survival first came into question after it was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1993. But it’s human influence

that has become the primary threat, as water flow to the site has decreased and the impacts of pollution have

increased, resulting in harmful algal blooms (赤潮). Its vast, diverse wildlife is more threatened than ever before.

1. Which problem does Mount Kilimanjaro face?

A. Global warming B. City development.

C. Over-tourism D. Ice pollution.

2. What do these three places have in common?

A. They are the impacts of pollution and mudslides.

B. They are destroyed severely due to over-tourism.

C. They are famous but affected by human activities.

D. They are considered as victims of global warming.

3. What is threatened by human activity in Everglades National Park?

A. Lack of popularity. B. Hurricane Andrew.

C. Algal blooms. D. Diverse wildlife.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the first large-scale sea crossing transportation project under China’s

“One Country, Two Systems” policy. Jointly constructed by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, the bridge is a

mega sea crossing system linking Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the longest, most difficult to construct, and the highest- standard

cross-sea transportation project in China’s history. It is regarded as the “Qomolangma” of the bridge industry. The

bridge is also part of the C4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway and G94 Pearl River Delta Ring Expressway

within China’s national expressway network.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge starts at Lantau Island in Hong Kong, passes through Tai O, crosses

the Pearl River Estuary(河口), and its Y-shaped section at the end connects Zhuhai and Macao. The total length of

the bridge is 55 km. Its sea section is around 35.578 km long while its underwater tunnel stretches 6.75 km. The

construction cost of the bridge exceeded 100 billion yuan. It was jointly funded by the central government and the

governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, which will collect tolls on the bridge for 50 years.

There were many updated technologies in the construction and installation of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai -

Macao Bridge. The project also made multiple breakthroughs in infrastructure(基础设施)construction in which the

government cooperated with domestic and foreign companies. These experiences will be useful for the Chinese

government in the construction of future large - scale engineering projects.

As China continues to advance the Belt and Road Initiative, the Hong Kong – Zhuhai - Macao Bridge will

offer new force to the economy of the region. The bridge will increase the attractiveness and influence of Zhuhai,

promote the cooperation of Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao in logistics, tourism, and other industries, and drive the

economic and social integration of Hong Kong, Macao, and Zhuhai. It will also help strengthen the ties between the

three places and facilitate the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, which is

strategically important to the Belt and Road Initiative.

4. What is the meaning of the underlined word “mega” in Paragraph 1?

A. diverse B. great C. broad D. rare

5. Why is “Qomolangma” mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A. It shows the bridge is very famous in the world.

B. It indicates the bridge is very high above the sea.

C. It suggests the difficulties in constructing the bridge.

D. It stresses its importance in the national development.

6. What is the significance of the Hong Kong – Zhuhai - Macao Bridge?

A. It has the longest underwater part of the bridge in the world.

B. It strengthens the development and bond of these three places.

C. It has helped the government earn over 100 billion yuan so far.

D. It is the only one of the large-scale engineering projects by China.
