Kumar said, “I had my holidays and I thought I could use the time to dig a well for my mother, who spent at least two hours to get water every day.” It took him around six weeks to dig the 45-feet deep well. In fact, Kumar’s mother and friends didn’t want him to take up the tough task, but Kumar didn’t budge .He even fractured (使骨折)his hand in the process, and then he had to get help from two workers.“I was a little disappointed when I found no water even after digging for over six weeks.

Millions of tourists visit the clock tower each year. Every hour on the hour, the famous bells ring. But starting in 2017, it will be under major repairs, and for some of that time, its bells won’t ring. Work like this hasn’t been done on it in more than 30 years.“In order to keep the clock ticking (发出滴答声), we must take time to examine and repair it,” says Steve Jaggs, who oversees Big Ben. “This project will enable us to give one of Britain’s most famous landmarks the care it badly needs.”Big Ben actually is the name of the main bell inside the clock. But the entire clock tower has come to be known by that name. People have been setting their watches to Big Ben since the bell was built in 1859 . It was an addition to the Palace of Westminster ,which was rebuilt after a big fire in 1834. The last major repair of the tower took place from 1983 to 1985.Big Ben is again showing its age. Many of the parts in the clock need repairs. The tower itself has problems , too. The repairs will also include updating (更新) the tower so that it meets current fire-safety requirement and installing(安装) an elevator. In total, the project will cost about $42 million.The project will take about three years, during which there will be no tours of the tower. The clock will be stopped while its hands and other parts are being fixed,and it’ll be silent for three months during the repair.“Big Ben is a symbol of the UK,” says Tom Brake, an office worker. “We have a responsibility to make sure that it’s in a good condition for future generations (几代人) to enjoy, just as our ancestors(祖先) protect their masterpiece well for us to enjoy.”28.

It can carry more passengers and things than any other airplane and it uses less fuel and makes less noise. Itswings span about 80 meters and it has a length of 73 meters. When filled with passengers, theA380 weighs over 500,000 kilograms. The A380 can fly about 13,000 kilometers non-stop. The Boeing 747, which could carry 416 passengers, once was the biggest plane in the world.Plane makers have used special materials to keep the plane light. They say that the engines(引擎) are very low in noise—they produce about half the sound of other engines.In the early 1990s, Airbus started to design a plane that could compete with Boeing’s 747.In 2000, the first airlines ordered the new plane and in January, 2005, the first Airbus A380 was finished. The new Airbus made its first flight with Sinagpore Airlines. It flew from Singapore to Sydney on October 25, 2007 . Over 6,000 people worked on the project and up to now 14 airlines have already ordered the A380.However, there are some problems that such a big plane may cause. Are airports big enough for the plane to take off and land or can airlines sell enough tickets to fill the plane? Testing has shown that the A380 does not need longer runways. But airports may have problems getting people on and off the huge planes. Waiting lines may be very long and passengers may spend a very long time looking for their baggage(行李).32. The Airbus A380 is most well-known for its ____.A. high speedB. large sizeC. low noiseD. special materials33. Which of the following is TRUE about the A380?A. It has 416 seats in total.B. It has a weight of over 50 tons.C.It has a length of over 70 meters.D. It can fly around the globe non-stop.34. The author mentions the Boeing 747 in order to ____.A . make a comparison B. give an exampleC. describe a processD. provide more details35. Passengers of the A380 may have trouble in _____.A. booking a ticketB. getting on the planeC. moving about on the planeD. spending too long on the runways第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
