Scientists would like to place a huge mirror in space above the earth. It might be sixty miles wide. It would be used to catch the rays of the sun. It would direct the sun’s rays upon the earth as a child might do to make sunlight dance on the wall with a hand mirror.

    Why do they want to do this? The sun’s rays could be helpful in many ways. They could light up cities by night. The warm rays could stop frosts which might come at night and hurt fruit crops. They could melt dangerous icebergs in the ocean. Perhaps they could hang cloud movements and bring rain where it is needed.

1. The huge mirror would _________.

A．stand 60 miles in height.                         B．be 60 miles from side to side

C．cover 60 miles above the earth                 D．be 60 miles above the earth.

2. The strong light from the mirror could possibly _________.

A．hurt fruit crops                                  B．set fire to cities

C．bring longer daytime                              D．shine brighter than the moon

3. The huge mirror is __________.

    The Port of Shanghai, a hub（中心）of water-land transport and trade on China’s coast since the Song Dynasty early in mid-twelfth century, is the biggest port on China’s mainland for international shipping. The annual cargo throughput（吞吐量）  of the port hit another record high of 176 million tons in 1993. The volume of International containers has reached the historical highest point.

2. ____________________________________

    By now the Port of Shanghai has established maritime trade relations with more than 400 ports in over 160 countries and regions in the world, with 21 international regular lines starting from the port on over 100 voyages per month directly to North America, Europe, Australia, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean as well as Southeast and Northeast Asia and so on.

3. ____________________________________

    Following the continuous and steady new growth in China’s national economy, the Port of Shanghai has, over the six years from 1988 to 1993, made an investment of RMB￥2.3 billion in capital construction and renovation（革新）, and updated a large number of handling machines. Both cargo throughput（吞吐量） capacity and handling efficiency of the port have increased remarkably.

4. ____________________________________

    Today, the port has become one of the hot spots that attract both attention and investment from other parts of China and the whole world．During his visit in Shanghai in the spring of 1992, Deng Xiaoping expressed his hope that Shanghai would show some changes every year. Taking this as its objective, the Port of Shanghai has been quickening the steps in its operational and commercial activities as well as construction of deep-water port areas.

5. ____________________________________

The four marginal berths of Waigaoqiao New Port Area have been largely completed and put into operation. Construction of the Luojing Coal Terminal was started at the end of 1993. Grain Silos with a capacity of 80,000 tons and a modern communication building for water traffic are both showing signs of completion. Construction of coastal, domestic and international passenger terminals has substantially entered its initial stage. The deep water port area at Jinshanzui shall open a new chapter in the history of the Port of Shanghai.
