London Underground
The world's first subway was built in London in 1863．At the time，the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London．The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through．The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible
for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day．If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work，they would relocate their homes outside of the city．This would help ease（减轻）the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London．From these problems，the idea of the London Underground，the first subway system，was born．The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays，but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863．A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers （3.7 miles）long．About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day．Riders were treated to comfortable seats （standing up while the train was moving was not allowed），and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars．However，the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot（煤灰），as well as chemical gases．Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe．Even with its problems，riding in the Underground did catch on．It carried 9 million riders in its first year．
（1）What led the British government to build the London Underground？
A．Traffic jams and pollution．
B．Population and pollution．
C．Overcrowding and traffic jams．
D．The poverty and subway problems．
（2）How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？
A．It made the tunnels larger．
B．It put fans in the tunnels．
C．It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels．
D．It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train．
（3）The underlined phrase"catch on"most probably means" "．
A．be troublesome
B．become popular and fashionable
C．keep up with
D．seize
（4）Which of the following is TRUE？
A．To relocate the workers'homes outside London，the government built the subway．B．There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened．
C．The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic．
D．There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened．23．
Don't talk to me；I'm busy with my iPhone
Riding a London subway，a person from China will notice one major difference：in London，people do not look at each other．In fact，eye contact is avoided at all times．That's not rudeness﹣people are just too busy to bother looking．Busy doing what，you ask？Well，they're certainly not using the time for a moment
of quiet reflection，nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e﹣book．
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（乘车上下班的人）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007，over 40，000﹣yes，that's 40，000﹣"apps"（programs downloaded for the iPhone）have been designed．
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time﹣fillers．One"app"，called iShoot，is a game that features tanks．Another one，Tube Exits，tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the"steam"on your phone screen．
For those without an iPhone，another Apple product，the iPod，may be another choice．It's not just teenagers who"plug in"to their music﹣iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．
And if games，e﹣books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied．Then perhaps you would prefer a film．The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work．With all this entertainments，it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train．
（1）People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy ．
A．going to work
B．reading books
C．thinking private things
D．playing games，reading e﹣books，listening to music or watching films．
（2）Those who like war games can download to their iPhones．
A．iShoot
B．Tube Exits
C．ISteam
D．iPod
（3）The underlined word"occupied"in the last paragraph probably means ．A．delighted
B．busy
C．amused
D．controlled
（4）The article tells us that ．
A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers
B．Apple has earned a lo of money from selling 40，000 iPhones
C．technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time．D．with all the new time﹣fillers，London commuters often forget to get off the train．24．As kids，my three brothers and I fought over the normal things：baseball，board games，baths．But our sibling rivalry（兄弟间争斗）reached a fever point at the dinner table．Who got the largest hamburger？Who finished the eating fast
enough to get seconds？Who got the biggest slice of pie？
Our mother cut the portions so equally that it would have taken a micrometer to tell them apart，but her efforts were in vain．Whether longing for the last hot dog，snatching an extra piece of crispy skin from the roast chicken，or writing who had the most cherries in his fruit cocktail，each of us struggled，constantly，to get his fair share．
But for adults，mealtime strategies practiced in childhood have occasionally led to trouble．When my older brother，Harry，traveling in India，was stricken with a mysterious disease and lost 14 kilos，he took something he found on the street as a halfeaten chicken and quickly put it into his mouth before someone else got it．Our younger brothers，Ned and Mark，hilled up their food in allyoucaneat Chinese buffets from childhood fears that there'd be nothing left on the serving plate．I once was watching man oeuvres（军事演习）performed on me while swallowing fistsized prawns （对虾）．
Some believe that siblings who express rivalry during their youth end up more closely bonded in adulthood than siblings who experienced no rivalry．At our family dinners these days，my brothers and I tend toward harmony．We still eat as if we were in a race，but there is no fighting for chicken skin，no wrestling over the last piece of pie．This may be because we four brothers are likely to be the ones cooking．Not only do we love working in the kitchen together，but this way we can also make sure there will be more than enough food for us all．
（1）Although the mother cut the portions equally，siblings the childhood may ．
A．didn't get their fair share
B．still wanted a whole chicken
C．didn't think it's necessary
D．didn't stop struggling for their food
（2）The third paragraph mainly tells us the habit formed in ．
A．lead to success
B．cause problems
C．destroy a person
D．bring a bright future
（3）What does the author think of the sibling rivalry？
A．It breaks up the brothers．
B．It benefits the brotherhood．
C．They can get more food．
D．They can improve cooking skills．
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
A．More children mean more problems．
B．Hunger education makes children brave．
C．Everything has its advantage and disadvantage．
D．Mothers are to blame for children's behavior．
25．
California Condor's Shocking Recovery
California condors are North America's largest birds，with wind﹣length of up to 3meters．In the 1980s，electrical lines an d lead poisoning（铅中毒）nearly drove them to dying out．Now，electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds．
In the late 1980s，the last few condors were taken from the wild，and there are now more than 150flying over California and nearby Arizona，Ut ah and Baja in Mexico．
Electrical lines have been killing them off．"As they go in to rest for the night，they just don't see the power lines，" says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo．Their wings can bridge the gap between lines，resulting in electrocution（电死）if they touch two lines at once．
So scientists have come up with a shocking idea．Tall poles，placed in large training areas，teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock．Before the training was introduced，66% of set﹣freed condors died of electrocution．This has now dropped to 18%．
Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with．When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead，they absorb large quantities of lead．This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds，and can lead to kidney（肾）failures and death．So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los
Angeles Zoo，where they are treated with calcium EDTA，a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days．This work is starting to pay off．The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011．Rideout's team thinks that the California condors' average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years．"Although these measures are not effective forever，they are vital for now，" he says．"They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them．"
（1）California condors attract researchers' interest because they ．
A．are active at night
B．had to be bred in the wild
C．are found only in California
D．almost died out in the 1980s
（2）Researchers have found electrical lines are ．
A．blocking condors' journey home
B．big killers of California condors
C．rest places for condors at night
D．used to keep condors away
（3）According to Paragraph 5，lead poisoning ．
A．makes condors too nervous to fly
B．has little effect on condors' kidneys
C．can hardly be gotten rid of form condors' blood
D．makes it different for condors to produce baby birds
（4）The passage shows that ．
A．the average survival time of condors is satisfactory
B．Rideout's research interest lies in electric engineering
C．the efforts to protect condors have brought good results
D．researchers have found the final answers to the problem

I just came back from Britain last week．I was luckily enough to be one of the students from different country to visit the UK from Feb.16to 28．We paid a visit to a good many of places，like London，Oxford or the Lake District．I learned much about British culture and history in London，where was my favorite．I also liked Oxford，in which I saw much more old buildings．The Lake District was beautiful，but it was pity that it rained heavily when they were there．The most excited thing for me in Britain was that I make a lot of friends there．
六．信息匹配（共1小题）
29．Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic，the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious．Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character？And if there is，can it affect how a nation succeed or fail？
At least one group of people is certain that it can．A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs（企业家）in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public．Britain is hostile（敌意的）to success，they said．It has a culture of jealousy（嫉妒）．（1）Jealousy is sometimes known as the "green﹣eyed monster" and the UK is its home．
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea．They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money．（2）Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others﹣but at the cost of losing their own．Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this．
（3）But there is also opposite evidence．The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy．That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success．People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe．So the British people are not lazy，either．
"It is not really success that the British dislike，" says Carey Cooper，a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology．"It's people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots．"
（4）They set out to do things in their way．They work long hours．By their own efforts they become millionaires．（5）It hardly seems worth following their example．If they were more friendly，people would like them more．And more people want to be like them．
A．This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain．
B．The one who owns most money in the end is the winner．
C．A s a result，the survey said，entrepreneurs were "unloved，unwanted and misunderstood"．
D．It is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success．
E．Some were given a little，others a great deal．
F．But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them．
G．Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem．
七．语法填空（共1小题）
30．What on earth does happiness mean？I can't give you its exact definition，but I'm sure if you love and help （1），you'll get it．
I'll never forget an old lady．She lives in （2）small house alone．It is said that her husband and her son（3）（die）in a road accident years ago．Her life is bitter，but she often helps others （4） a smile．Whenever it snows，she is always the first to clean the paths．She looks after several children living nearby．I am one of them．I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile．Perhaps she is unlucky，but I think she is a happy person．Her life is full of （5）（laugh）
and love．
But I'm sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways．They talk （6）（noisy）in cinemas and meeting rooms；they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others'shortcomings．Perhaps they feel happy at that time，（7）they will never get true happiness because they（8）（lose）their personality already．
Now I know what happiness is．（9）means kindness，love and unselfishness．Above all，I have come to understand that （10）（bring）happiness to others is getting ourselves happiness．
