The Three Gorges Dam

“Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain”
Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he           (梦想) “walls of stone to         (阻止) clouds and rain till a       (光滑的，平坦的) lake       (上升) in the narrow gorges”. Now his dream has           (实现). The        (水力) of the Yangtze River, which is the world’s third longest river, has been           (利用) by the Three Gorges Dam.
The Three Gorges Dam, which is the biggest                 (建筑工程)in China since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, has been built                  (控制泛滥)and
     hydro-electric power        (为……提供)the central region of China. The dam is nearly 200 metres      (高)and 1.5 kilometres      (宽). It is the largest              (水力发电站)
and dam in the world and has cost more than any other construction project in history.

In 1993, China used 1.2 billion tons of coal for heating and                  (发电). Unfortunately, burning coal      (导致，引起) serious air pollution and increases             (全球变暖). The dam will generate electricity           (相当于)about 40 million tons of coal without causing so much air pollution.
The reservoir has        (淹没)2 cities, 11 counties, 140 towns and more than 4,000 villages. More than a million people who lived in the region have moved from their homes. Now they’re                         (过着幸福的新生活)in different areas.
The Three Gorges area is one of the most beautiful areas of China and the project has flooded some of China’s most famous                 (历史遗迹),      (包括)the Qu Yuan Temple, the Han Watchtower and the Moya Cliff carvings. About 800 historical relics have been      (淹没). Some of them are being          (迁移)and some are being put into museums.

Section B (10points)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.
The word addiction(上瘾) usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs(酒精或毒品), but in modern society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive（难以自制的）shopper. Others find it impossible to keep themselves away from their work. Still others spend many hours watching TV or playing computer games.
Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to the stores more and more every day. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are crazy about shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a good answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this activity when they feel guilty（负罪感的）.
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can cause many problems. People addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.
