(10 points)Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, todays Nanjing has an 1 of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been 2 only a few decades ago. 3 , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears 4 resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II. 5 Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved 6 its tragic past to become a vital engine of Chinas economic growth, thanks 7 to its position in the middle of Chinas prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also 8 thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, 9 travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is 10 to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.Signs of Nanjings 11 wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, 12 the father of modern China, looks 13 over a busy 14 area.There is perhaps no more 15 symbol of the citys transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. 16 offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and 17 student population there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkinss international studies school. In fact, art and music 18 in all sorts of places.On a larger 19 , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract 20 from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.1、AadvanceBaffectionCairDability2、AunforgettableBunthinkableCunbearableDunnecessary3、AActuallyBRegretfullyCHopefullyDConsequently4、AcloseBslightCmuchDlittle5、ABecauseBButCAsDSince6、AbeyondBonCoffDout7、Ain additionBin allCin partDin fact8、AstartedBenlargedCexistedDaccelerated9、AremovingBcuttingCdividingDlowering10、AscheduledBinventedCdesiredDmeant11、AattractiveBwell-receivedCnewfoundDdiscovered12、AthoughtBtreatedCconsideredDelected13、AoutBatCaboutDfor14、AremoteBregionalCruralDcommercial15、AuniversalBvisibleCtraditionalDpolitical16、AKeepingBConsistingCOpeningDHousing17、ABritishBwesternCAmericanDforeign18、Aspring upBstand upCset upDkeep up19、AextentBdegreeCscaleDlevel20、AbusinessmenBstudentsCtouristsDpaintersSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

Climbing without this equipment is called “free-climbing.” Until now, no one had free-climbed to the top of the rock face, which is a part of the mountain EI Capitan.EI Capitan, which means “the captain” or “the chief” in Spanish, has always presented a challenge to climbers.

This makes free-climbing the rock face seem almost impossible.About seven years ago, professional climber Tommy Caldwell spotted a possible route up the wall. It took years of planning and preparation, but this month, Caldwell, 36, and his friend Kevin Jorgeson, 30, finally make the climb.Free climbers do use ropes and other basic safety equipment to catch them if they fall and Caldwell and Jorgeson fell often. Before starting their climb, they broke down their route into 32 sections. Each section was based on a rope length called a “pitch.” The rope was secured into the rock face to catch the climbers if they fell.Caldwell and Jorgesons goal was to climb the Dawn Wall without returning to the ground. If they fell, they had to start that pitch all over again. The two men started climbing on December 27. They slept in hanging tents, and a team of friends brought them food each day.The men had spe
