AThis May is a busy month in Shanghai. There are lots to do. Here are the highlights.Live Music-Late Night JazzEnjoy real American jazz from Herbie Davis, the famous trumpet player. He’s coming with his new 7-piece band, Herbie’s Heroes. Herbie is known to play well into the early hours so don’t expect to get much sleep. This is Herbie’s third visit to Shanghai. The first two were sold out，so get your tickets quick.Scottish dancingTake your partners and get ready to dance till you drop. Scottish dancing is fun and easy to learn. The teachers, Gordon Stroppie and the Weefrees, are excellent. They will also demonstrate the dances.There are 120,000 pieces on show here. You can see the whole of Chinese history under one roof. It’s always interesting to visit, but especially so at the moment with the Egyptian Tombs exhibition.Dining-Sushi Chef in townSushi is getting really big in Shanghai. In Japan, it’s become an art form. The most famous sushi “artist”is Yuki Kamura. She’s also one of the few female chefs(厨师) in Japan. She’ll be at Sushi Scene all of this month.21.Which activity is the cheapest?A.Enjoying American Jazz.B.Learning Scottish dancing.C.Visiting Shanghai Museum.D.Dining at Sushi Scene.22.If you want to learn Scottish dancing, which number should you dial?A.6427-3957B.6690-2315C.6888-5066D.6557-689823.How much should you pay if you want two tickets for the American Jazz on Friday?A.¥240B.¥160C.¥120D.¥80BLike all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes.So the city began a scheme to improve the situation.Under the Velib scheme (‘Velib’comes from vélo liberté, or‘bicycle freedom’) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only − 1 a day or − 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy ( 25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations! Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle — they’ll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”24.What can we learn about the Velib scheme?A.Its bikes have no baskets.B.Its bikes are light and colorful.C.It aims to make traveling easier.D.It owns more stations than the subway.25.If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay _____.A.−1B.−30C.−29D.no money26.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?A.The cost is rather high.B.It’s hard to find a Velib station.C.It’s not suitable for a long journey.D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.27.What’s the city spokesman’s attitude towards the bicycle scheme?A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Uncaring.D.Worried.CWe were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break. For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train. We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it. Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fallto ride the train to Chicago. Of course, flying would have been faster. But I don’t think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports. Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure. “We’re moving,”my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night’s sleep. The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad. An airline flight is a more miserable experience for me: not enough room, two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my chin, the hard seatback in front cracking my kneecaps (膝盖) with every move of the body planted in front of me. On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.The journey didn’t feel at all as long as it was. We all found the train ride a joy. The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours. But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.In short, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isn’t something I do so much when traveling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission(任务) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.Chicago offers much to do for a family. This time, getting there was half the fun.28.We can learn from the first paragraph that _____.A.the kids love the train journeyB.Chicago is one of the kid’s favorite citiesC.the author didn’t enjoy the long train journeyD.it was the first time that the kids were taken on the train29.What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Excitement.B.Relaxation.C.Tiredness.D.Worry.30.In the third paragraph, an airline flight experience is mentioned to show _____.A.an airline flight is easierB.a train ride is too longC.an airline flight is miserableD.a train ride is more comfortable31.Which of the following words best describes the whole family’s feeling about the train journey?A.Moved.B.Delighted.C.Disappointed.D.Nervous.DI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled（贴标签）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was not something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.32.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She got the news that her grandma was ill.B.She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.C.She heard the author shouting loud.D.She couldn’t find her books.33.The author tidied up the room most probably because _______.A.she hated herself for being so messyB.she was scared by Kate’s angerC.she was asked by Kate to do soD.she wanted to show her care34.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causesB.By describing a processC.By showing differencesD.By following time order35.What might be the best title for the story?A.Learning to Be RoommatesB.Hard Work Pays OffC.How to Be OrganizedD.My Friend Kate第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
