Unit 1Lifestyles 课时练(一) 阅读理解组块专练——练速度 (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Kenny Li is waiting patiently at acoach terminus(终点站) in Kowloon on a misty and cold Hong Kong morning. He is planning to have lunch in the city of Zhuhai, which on anormal day would take him about four hours to reach by road. But today the journey will take just over 30 minutes, because today is not anormal day. Kenny is one of scores of passengers —including the correspondent (记者) —who are queuing for aseat on one of the first cross­border coaches to travel over the newly­opened Hong Kong­Zhuhai­Macao Bridge. The DS| 20bn, 55km bridge and 6.7km undersea tunnel link Hong Kong's Lantau island to Zhuhai on the southern coast of Guangdong Province and Macao. The mega structure is supported by three cable­stayed bridges and designed to withstand typhoon­force winds. It took more than eight years to build and, according to ambitious plans hatched (策划) in Beijing, will help form ahigh­tech and economic region, namely Greater Bay Area, to rival New York, San Francisco and Tokyo bay areas. But those lofty aims feel fairly irrelevant to the band of eager passengers who have assembled at the Kowloon coach terminus on Wednesday morning. This group wants something different from the HZMB, as it has bee known. For just HK DS| 120 for asingle trip ticket, we can be part of history. “I was the first person to get the ticket three days ago，” says Li, as he waits patiently for the coach to arrive. Other passengers are similarly excited. YW Cheung and his wife bought the tickets on Sunday as soon as he heard about the news about coach panies running the bridge service.
