The major construction work on the world’s longest cross-sea bridge 【小题1】 (complete) on Oct. 24th, 2018, which connects Zhuhai in Guangdong Province with Hong Kong and Macao. A ceremony 【小题2】 (hold) in Zhuhai to celebrate its completion soon.

More than 400,000 tonnes of steel 【小题3】 (use) for the 6.7 km undersea tunnel and 22.9 km bridge. Therefore, the bridge 【小题4】 (name) “one of its seven wonders of the modern world near completion” by a British newspaper.

The travel time from Hong Kong to both Zhuhai and Macao 【小题5】 (cut) greatly. History【小题6】 (make) in many aspects by the project. For example, maritime protection was taken seriously as the construction region 【小题7】 (overlap) with the reserve of Chinese white dolphins.

It was the first time that an immersed tube tunnel【小题8】 (build) in open waters in China. Besides, it【小题9】 (predict) that the bridge 【小题10】 (operate) for 120 years. If it were not for the progress of “Made in China”, the construction couldn’t have been realized in such a short time.

The “China technology” and “China standard” set by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will even influence the world market.

With the【小题1】(adopt) of e-ticket service on the high-speed line【小题2】(link) Lanzhou of Gansu province and Urumqi of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region on Wednesday, all 1,075 high-speed and intercity railway stations on the Chinese mainland will allow passengers to check in【小题3】a paper ticket.

Imagine a road crossing without the three-way traffic signal. Cars, trucks, school buses, bicyclists and students walking to school would try to rush through the crossing 【小题1】the same time. Their safety would be in danger.

Thanks to an African-American【小题2】(invent) named Garrett Augustus Morgan, we have three-position traffic signals that help make crossings much safer. Mr. Morgan was born in Kentucky in 1877.

Finally, it was 【小题9】 great success which saved lives then, and 【小题10】(be) still saving lives today.
