30.(5分)Today many people all over the world ride bicycles.This is because it's a wonderful means of transport.It is also an excellent form of exercise.Bicycles don't pollute the air,either.At present,there are about a billion bicycles in the world.But how much do you know about bicycles?

Riding a bicycle has a number of health benefits.Riding for three hours or thirty kilometers every week cuts your risk of heart disease in half.Many people in Asia and Europe use their bicycles when travelling short distances.However,Americans only use their bicycles once in a hundred trips.If they use their bicycles a lot,they would save a lot of gas and help protect the environment.

31.(6分)B.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passageHow many times have you seen someone on TV or in a crowd and had that nagging feeling that you've seen them somewhere before but can quite place them?This seems to be quite a(n)(50)experience and it raises questions about exactly how we recognize faces.What's going on in
our brains when we see a face?
Scientists have recently carried out tests on volunteers to find out which areas in the brain are involved in face recognition.The tests must have been a lot of fun to take part in!The volunteers were(51)a photograph of a famous person on a computer and then the face gradually changed into another famous person's.For example a picture of the1950s film star Marilyn Monroe(52)changed into a picture of the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher!Obviously,Marilyn's beautiful curly blonde hair became greyer,her nos became sharper and longer,and her face developed wrinkles and lines around the mouth.As they watched the person change,complicated equipment scanned thevlunteers'brains to see which parts of the brain were lighting up.
The(53)showed that we use three main areas of the brain to identify people's faces.While one section of the brain looks at the physical features such as size and shape of eyes,another part identifies the face as known or unknown.(54),a third part of the brain is checking out the name or other information about the face in our memory.It sounds(55)but it seems that human beings can store as many as10,000faces in their memories and most of us can recognize about ninety per cent of our classmates up to thirty five years after we last saw them!

Most cell phone companies design models especially for kids.But parents are usually the ones buying the phones,and(1)p the bill.According to a recent study,56%of
parents of children aged from8to12have given their children a cell phone.The percentage goes up with age.Most kids get their(2)f cell phone at the age of12.But13%of children aged6to10already have one.
Many parents think it is necessary for kids to have a cell phone(3)b it helps kids keep in touch with their friends and families.They believe that cell phones are an important tool when something happens(4)s.Kids can stay connected with their parents at all times.It is also convenient for them to receive a good﹣luck message before a big game.Some people also think cell phones help teach kids to be responsible.

No one would think that a well﹣dressed gentleman with a white silk scarf and gloves,was really an excellent thief.
After looking around the house for a while,John got down to work.He searched every room,and before long,his hands were full.He had two necklaces,some gold rings and a purse with a lot of money.He put all the things in his pocket.
Then he found a small wall safe in the bedroom.John couldn't wait to take the valuable things from the safe and put them into his own pocket!But the thief met a problem:he couldn't open the safe.
John wiped(擦)a few drops of sweat from his forehead,took off his gloves,and
placed them on a chair.Again and again,and finally,he opened the safe.He saw something shining﹣a huge diamond.
At that time,John heard someone opening the front door.It was the owner of the house. John put the diamond in his pocket,ran to the window,climbed out of the house and drove away in the dark.
Ten minutes later,the police arrived.After searching the house,the police found an important piece of evidence(证据)that could easily tell who was the thief.
Do you know what the piece of evidence was?
(1)When did the story happen?
(2)Why did John think House No.4is the right one?
(3)Where did John put all the things that he had stolen?

她买了一个多么漂亮的钱包啊!
【解答】英文中感叹句通常由what和how引导,区别在于what的中心词是名词,其句型结构通常是What+形容词+名词+主谓,how的中心词是形容词或者副词,其句型结构是How+形容词/副词+主谓。
句中purse表示钱包,可数名词单数,则此处应用what引导该感叹句,其次nice首字母发辅音音素,则第二空填写不定冠词a。
故答案是:What a.
