Much research is being done on the tunnel． At the top of Knolly's Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves， where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature． Standing at the beginning of Knolly's Tunnel， you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end． The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones． Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through， but should do so in groups for safety． In the old days， there were no lights， but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel， though not inside．
On your way in， you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel． These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed． Knolly's Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap． The road was recently improved， but is better when you enter from Tabaquite， and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly's Tunnel．
On the drive to Knolly's Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature． At the site itself， there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink， but in Tabaquite there are several bars， a restaurant， and food outlets． A gas station and a health centre are also close by．
For those who admire architecture， Knolly's Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad． For the nature lovers， there is no better place for them to be and for the historians， they can walk or drive through Knolly's Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled （worked hard） on its structure． So when you visit Trinidad， don't forget to take a look at Knolly's Tunnel!

23．（8分）It was with heavy hearts that my son and I worked to prepare his car for a milestone journey—the day he moved across the country after twenty years of living under my roof．
Our work went slowly into the afternoon．The Sunday baseball game came on．Our hometown Cardinals were playing the Atlanta Braves．I overheard bits of the TV broadcast—Atlanta took a two-run lead as we were packing the trunk．After that I became absorbed in glum thoughts about his departure and forgot about the game．Suddenly I heard the door open．“Dad，”he said，“let’s watch the game．They’re only down by a run．”
His red-colored eyes instantly told me that he，too，found this to be difficult and wanted to share one last father-son moment．Without hesitation I led the way to the TV set．There，we found the Cards losing 3—1．“Oh，”he said，“they’re down two runs．”His voice cracked with doubt．“I thought they were coming back．”“That’s fine，”I said，wanting so much to string this moment．“Let’s watch anyway．”
The Cards got to bat last．First a single，and then another．Suddenly the game became very interesting．When David Eckstein parked the third pitch(投球)into the seats，we were transformed，jumping up and down．That’s when the magic moment came．The sadness of that day was replaced by the exciting baseball game，something we had done many times together before．
Then he left．It was a sad day when I helped my son pack and get ready to move away to college．But this moment of joy mixed with sadness made the day，the trip and our life seem so right．

24．（8分）It’s a sadness shared by many business start-ups: why did my company fail, while so many others seem to be profiting from the “golden age of entrepreneurship (创业精神）”？
Some people argue that opportunities and good fortune are the secrets to success. But Innovation Works CEO Kaifu Lee believes that entrepreneurs need to have certain qualities to help them face the difficulties of starting a business. At a recent LinkedIn conference, Lee mentioned some of these qualities.
“Even though we’re now in a golden period for innovation and start-ups, not everyone is meant to be an entrepre- neur. Entrepreneurs share the same qualities — they are confident, communicative and focused. They don’t fear losing, and they are good at learning,”he said.
Lee explained that he often meets young people who are irresolute about setting up a business. “ If that’s the case for you then don’t do so,” he said at the conference. The bottom line, he said, is that entrepreneurs should be determined and passionate.
passion is vital to entrepreneurs since it typically relates to self-motivation, according to Li Jun, 26, founder of Wuhan Lushenglin Plant Wall Co Ltd. “Entrepreneurs often need to work around the clock. It’s easier for people to put up with the difficult schedule if they’re passionate about what they’re doing,” he said.
Entrepreneurs are also generally thought of as risk-takers. But Yu Xiuhong, general secretary of the Bright China foundation, warns that young entrepreneurs should not take too many risks. “Successful entrepreneurs rarely take risks blindly or jump at opportunities others avoid. Before launching a business, it's advisable to do market research, evaluate yourself and your opponents,” she said.
Also she advises that young people thoroughly calculate their expenses in advance. Take Li Dongjin as an example, 35-year-old long-term entrepreneur disappeared a week ago after his O2O car washing company failed disastrously. He had gotten an initial investment of 5 million yuan but wasted it all on allowance and publicity.
1、Which of the following is not the quality of an entrepreneur according to Kaifu Lee?
A．Confidence. B．Determination.
C．Leadership skill. D．Learning ability.
2、What did Li Jun say about entrepreneurs?
A．They can’t be motivated without enthusiasm.
B．They shouldn't complain about their tight .schedule.
C．They should have an urge to improve themselves.
D．They may suffer health problems due to heavy work loads.
3、What has the closest meaning with the underlined word “irresolute” in Paragraph 4?
A．Delighted. B．Hesitant.
C．Anxious. D．Sure.
4、What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．Yu Xiuhong regrets jumping at opportunities before.
B．Li Dongjin is a failure for lack of adventurous spirit.
C．Li Dongjin shouldn’t have started a car washing company.
D．Yu Xiuhong believes it a must to think twice before taking risks.
