AThere are thirty-four bridges on the Thames River in London,the following are among the most famous ones.Tower BridgeTower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest, most recognizable bridges in the world. It is the bridge in London you may see in movies and on advertising writing for London. Tower Bridge is the only Thames Bridge that can be raised. It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but nowadays it is only raised 4 to 5 times a week.London BridgeThe construction of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176 and finished years later. Houses and shops were once built on the bridge, which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people, horses and carts.A 'keep left' rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving. This became the rule of the road in Britain. In 1757 the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in 1831. Interestingly, that one was pulled down again in 1967 but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City,USA,as a tourist attraction. The present London Bridge was opened in 1973.Millennium BridgeThe Millennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers. It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the City and St Paul's Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂) in 2000. Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge. Almost immediately after opening, the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors. It has now been reopened. The bridge is about 320 meters, costs 16 million pounds to build and only takes walkers.Westminster BridgeWestminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames between Westminster and Lambeth. The present bridge,opened in 1862,is the second on the site and took the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750.The British romantic poet, William Wordsworth, wrote a famous poem "Composed Upon Westminster Bridge" in the autumn of 1802.Want to know more about the bridges on the Thames River?

But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia (精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for an assignment for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT."I interviewed him on Austin's homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him," said Chandler." He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go."With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT's College of Fine Arts. "It's the greatest gift I've ever received," Carter said. "He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him."After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees without telling Chandler his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement. "David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We're going to help him through his remaining course work."4. Why did Carter drop out of university?A. He hurt an artist.B. He couldn't afford his study.C. He got a strange disease.D. He had a hand injury.5. What was Chandler's purpose in interviewing Carter?A. To do a project on homelessness.B. To know why he hung around UT.C. To make friends with a homeless person.D. To finish his homework on helping others.6. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Warm-hearted.D. Strong-minded.7. What can we learn from Dempster's words in the statement?A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He supports students who never give up.C. He calls on other students to help Carter.D. He suggests other students learn from Carter.CSlowly but surely, we're moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the Internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds."5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age," said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. "The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one singletask, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It's pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There's lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed."Augmented reality(AR) glasses and virtual headset haven't yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable (值得注意的) because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February's Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don't get too excited. There's still a lot of work to be done in the meantime includingvarious trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities.8. What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?A. The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B. The expectation of 5G world.C. The difference between 4G and 5G.D. The internet-connected devices in our life.9. What does the underlined word "emblem" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Exhibition.B. Success.C. Symbol.D. Extension.10. We can infer from the text that _____.A. 5G world won't come without AR glassesB. 5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC. Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD. Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced11. What will the author probably tell us next?A. How to fully expand 5G coverage.B. Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C. Why 5G isn't concentrated in big cities.D. The importance of infrastructure construction.DSome people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.12. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A. They had early bookings.B. They took a later flight.C. Their flight had been delayed.D. Their flight had been cancelled.13. What can we learn about the author?A. She rarely misses a good deal.B. She seldom makes a compromise.C. She is very strict with her children.D. She is interested in cheap products.14. What does the author do?A. She's a teacher.B. She's a housewife.C. She's a media person.D. She's a businesswoman.15. What does the author want to tell us?A. How to expose bad tricks.B. How to reserve airline seats.C. How to make a business deal.D. How to spend money wisely.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

deaths could be avoided according to the scientists.For the health of the planet,they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land,water and animals.This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.Tim Lang,a professor at Britain’s University of London.He said,“The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.”Lang added,“The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050.If we want to feed everyone,we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”So,what do you eat on the “planetary health”diet?The scientists who created the “planetary health”diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk,fish and meat.The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts,fruits,and vegetable.Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about

第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节:(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5 分)AA good book about space can inspire an interest in exploring the universe. If you’re hoping for a holiday gift for your kids, you’re in the right place.Margaret and the MoonAge range:4-8In Margaret and the Moon, Dean Robbins outlines(概述)the pioneering software engineer’s life, from the backyard of her childhood home, where she put forward a million questions about the night sky, to the hallways of NASA, where she led a team from MIT to develop the onboard flight software that would land the first men on the moon.I am Neil ArmstrongAge range:5-9In I am Neil Armstrong, the bestselling author Brad Meltzer shows kids how Neil Armstrong made it all the way to the moon. Meltzer begins the story with young Armstrong determining to climb to the top of a silver maple tree after falling and getting back up. He continued this spirit throughout his career .Look Inside SpaceAge range:3 and upFor parents of young kids, Usbome’s prizewinning Look Inside Space is a must to share the history and wild technology of space exploration with starry-eyed kids. It explores the history of human spaceflight and the basics of stars and planets. It’s enjoyable to all space fans, but is especially good for pre-school and kindergarten-age kids.Max Goes to the Space StationAge range: All agesJeffrey Bennett’s tale about a dog called Max and his adventures to the International Space Station isn’t only an accurate look at what life in space is like. The book was actually sent into space and joined the station's library in 2014 as part of the Story Time from Space project. It enables readers to learn all sorts of fun facts about space.1. What’s the text mainly intended to introduce?A. How to find holiday gifts for your kids.B. Some kids’ space books for the holidays.C. How to inspire kids’ interest in the universe.D. Some books about the theories of the universe.2. Which book can inspire a sense of determination in readers?A. Max Goes to the Space Station.B. Margaret and the Moon.C. I am Neil Armstrong.D. Look Inside Space.3. In which aspect is Max Goes to the Space Station different from the other three books?A. It has experienced moon travel.B. It is suitable for kids of all ages.C. It is a biography of an astronaut.D. It has won a prize as a bestseller.BTake a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep.Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to face even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.4. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time.C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.5. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.A. why high school students should get more sleepB. what’s life like for high school students at presentC. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroomD. how to lighten high school students’ homework load6. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “_______”.A. arrivesB. reducesC. increasesD. changes7. How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day?A. Disappointed.B. Satisfied.C. Puzzled.D. Surprised.CPeople with an impulsive(冲动的) personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related t o a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances(物质).Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity(肥胖).“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addi ctive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our meas ure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies(治疗,疗法)used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would natur ally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”8. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.A. taking alcohol or drugsB. motivation to lose weightC. negative emotionsD. less healthy weight9. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusions.B. By explaining causes and effects.C. By giving definitions and examples.D. By presenting questions and answers.10. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior.11. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Impulsive personality linked to food additionB. Food addiction compared to drug useC. Dopamine release caused by food addictionD. Food addiction contributing to obesityDWhile flatmates can bring about stress and difficulty, they can also be great company and develop into wonderful, lifelong friends. Before making the decision to live with a flatmate or to live alone, consider carefully all the accompanying advantages and disadvantages.Most people join forces with a flatmate primarily due to financial problem. A shared living space also means you 're responsible for only half of the rent or shared bills. Additionally, when you're splitting costs, you can afford a better apartment than you could alone. However, money can become a point of argument for flatmates as well. If your flatmate gets laid off or quits his job, you may have to pick up his bill until he's back on his feet. Your flatmate may also insist he owe less because he doesn't use the shower too often.In addition to bills and the rent, flatmates also typically share responsibility for unpleasant tasks, such as cleaning or doing the dishes. Without a flatmate, cleaning and tidying responsibilities are yours alone. However, flatmates also frequently end up sharing plenty of other things many people would rather not: use of the TV, the bathroom, food and even clothing, for example. You may have to wake up earlier than you'd like to get a hot shower before work or give up watching your favorite show because your flatmate beat you to it.When you live alone, you get to determine the terms of your social life, and you go home to an empty house or apartment at the end of the day. That can be preferable if you 're a serious student or professional, someone who needs to work and rest in the quiet of an apartment. With a flatmate, there are unexpected guests and your social options can expand sharply. Keep in mind, however, that having a flatmate means that he may feel social when you do not, and you may have to deal with wanted house guests.12. What's the main reason for most people to share a flat?A. Ensuring safety.B. Saving money.C. Sharing housework.D. Reducing loneliness.13. What does the author say about a serious flatmate?A. He likes a peaceful life.B. He has excellent social manners.C. He keeps everything in the room tidy.D. He often turns away unexpected guests.14.How does the author express his opinions?A. By describing the process.B. By stating an argument.C. By making comparisons.D. By analyzing the outcome.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Buying a Flat or Sharing One?B. The Reasons for Sharing a FlatC. How to Share a Flat with a Flatmate?D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Flatsharing第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

Reading and sharing books helps me to connect with my home country, the UK.Here are some books that, for me, create vivid memories of home.Daddy Long Legs by Jean WebsterThis book takes the form of a series of letters, and follows the story of a girl, Judy, as she goes to university and discovers a whole world of new experiences. It reminds me of my home and my mother, because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson-BurnettHave you ever read a description of a rural (乡村的) area that made you feel like you were actually there? For me, this book does exactly that. It is about a young girl who discovers a secret garden.The Railway Children by E. NesbitThis was one of my favourite books when I was younger, and for this reason it still strongly reminds me of England and my childhood. It follows three children and their adventures living next to a railway.The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas AdamsThis is a science-fiction novel about a man’s adventures in space after the destruction of Earth. It is creative and has a very British sense of humour. When I read it, I feel a strong connection to my home.1.How is Daddy Long Legs different from the other books?A.It brings back memories.

D.Douglas Adams.3.Which of the following tells about space explorations?A.Daddy Long Legs. B.The Secret Garden.C.The Railway Children. D.The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.One spring morning many years ago, I was on southeastern Alaska’s Kupreanof Island when I saw a huge wolf caught in a trap. From her appearance, I realized it was a mother wolf and that somewhere hungry pups (小崽) were waiting for her. I guessed she had been trapped only a few days. So her pups were probably still alive, hungry, surely no more than a few miles away. But I thought if I released the wolf, she would tear me to pieces.So I decided to search for her pups instead. Following some footprints, I finally found four tiny pups. One by one, I placed them in a bag and headed back. When the mother wolf spotted me, she stood up, possibly picking up the smell of her young. I released the pups, and they raced to her.What next? I wondered. The mother wolf was clearly suffering. Yet each time I moved in her direction, she let out a threatening sound.I put up a shelter for myself and was soon asleep nearby. At dawn, I was awakened by the four pups sniffing at my face and hands. I glanced toward the anxious mother wolf. If I could only win her confidence, I thought. It was her only hope. Over the next few days, I fed her, talked gently with her and played with the pups. But the big animal never took her eyes off me. When I was beginning to lose hope, at dusk on the fifth day, I saw a wagging (摇摆) of her tail.I moved within the length of her chain. She remained still. My heart in my mouth, I slowly placed my hand on the wolf’s injured leg. “OK,” I said, “We’ll have you out of there.” I pressed and the trap sprang open, the wolf pulled free.Slowly, she headed toward me. She smelled my hands and arms and then began licking (添) my fingers. I was astonished. This went against everything I’d ever heard about w olves. Yet, strangely, it all seemed so natural.4.What did the writer do after he discovered the mother wolf?A.He looked for the pups B.He set up a trap.C.He put the wolf in a bag D.He frightened off the wolf.5.Why did the writer stay with the wolves for 5 days?A.To study the habit of the wolves. B.To gain the trust of the mother wolf. C.To witness the growth of the pups. D.To experience the charm of the wild 6.How did the writer feel when he was trying to remove the trap?A.Nervous. B.Proud.C.Relieved. D.Hopeless.7.The text delivers the message that ______.A.creatures are born equal B.having comes before giving C.wagging wolves seldom bite D.kindness deserves acceptanceNzulezo in Jomoro district of western Ghana has coexisted with nature for many centuries. Here, all of life’s chores (家常杂务) from the preparation of meals to children going to school take place on water.The first people in Nzulezo came from Mali in the 15th century. Many centuries after, people in Nzulezo still live in wooden buildings. Every family in modern Nzulezo has its own street, and every street is named after the head of that family. Every family member also owns a boat. It’s the only way of travelling there.People in Nzulezo have kept their traditional way of living for many centuries, but they have introduced certain modern comforts such as clectricity, which means they no longer depend on kerosene (煤油) and lanterns to power up.They also hope to build a 24-hour healthcare center. The locals have to travel five kilometers by boat to see a doctor.Being on water also makes it hard to find teachers to teach Nzulezo children. Cudjoe, a teacher in Nzulezo, says that there aren’t enough payments to make teachers stay. Though there are glaring challenges, some of Cudjoe’s stud ents have left Nzulezo for further education, including university, and they are thriving, he says. “I have a lady, she’s now a nurse, and I have a man who is now in university. Plenty of them are now in senior high outside the village. They are doing well.”But while people in Nzulezo are open to satisfying some modern needs, they still feel strongly about keeping their traditional lifestyle. “Our life here is very comfortable for us. We cook here, we enjoy ourselves, we entertain ourselves, the childr en also. We prefer to stay,” says a local elder, John Arthur.8.What does Paragraph 2 focus on?A.The rise and fall of Nzulezo. B.Nzulezo’s dependence on boats. C.The origin of streets in Nzulezo. D.Nzulezo’s traditional way of living. 9.What does the unde rlined word “thriving” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Suffering. B.Succeeding.C.Returning. D.Researching.10.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Village over the River Coming to ShoreB.Nzulezo Giving Way to Modern ComfortsC.Floating Village Balancing Traditions in Modern WorldD.Nzulezo Drawing Attention to Traditional Floating Life二、七选五A handheld language translator can cost a lot of money, so it is important to choose the best one.Some features (特征) to consider include its size, battery (电池) life, and ability to translate.First, most people who use this type of translator are travelling, so having a smaller one is important.11.If the machine cannot work for an entire day, then it will not be very good as problems might arise in translation.12.Some translators are advanced enough to work with speech recognition, but most work with cither typed input or written input. How the resulting translation is shown is also important. A program may be able to play an audio clip (音频) of the translation, or it may only show it on the translator’s screen. 13.If one cannot read what the screen says, one will not be able to make much use of the dictionary.Many people are drawn to translators that can translate between many languages. This feature is truly impressive. 14.A translator that works with only two languages may not have as many choices, but it is often more detailed and accurate.One final thing to consider is that many phones now have the features to function as translators. These programs are often much more inexpensive and require no additional technology. 15.A.Another feature to consider is battery life.B.One can type the contents to translate by keyboard.C.35 languages are supported, covering over 200 countries.D.There are different input styles for handheld language translators.E.However, it is somewhat rare that a person will use that many languages.F.Looking at the programs, one may find a handheld translator unnecessary.G.In that case, one must make sure that one can use the resulting information.三、完形填空Near midnight, my wife and I were driving home from the University of Illinois, where our son Randy was studying. I 16 what on earth had made us travel there and back. All for 17 !For weeks Randy had been telling me how much he loved playing football, so I felt a sudden urge (冲动) to be there.

As Boy Scouts (童子军) , we made a journey down the 24 one autumn. Dad pulled over,25 me at the boat and said goodbye. I wish Dad could see me, I thought.About a mile downriver we came to a bridge.

It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles t here.In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighbourhoods arou nd Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came — thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!However, more than thirty years later, the“white bike” is back in town —this time with a computer chip(芯片) to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert(插入) a special card. Thenew “white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and peopl e who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.24. Amsterdam is called the “City of Bicycles” because of ______.A. the cycling fans thereB. the appearance of bicyclesC. the quality of bicyclesD. the convenience for bicycles25. In the 1960s, some cycling fans hoped bikes could ______.A. help to save energyB. be specially designedC. be placed anywhereD. be painted in different colours26. Why did the first “white bike” plan fail?A. People were tired of riding bikes.B. There were not enough parking places.C. Thieves took all the bikes within weeks.D. The government allowed people to drive cars freely.27. What do people use if they want to take a “white bike” in the city?A. A white key.B. A special card.C. A special computer.D. A common chip.CChinese New Year has been welcomed in Britain with its biggest ever program of events and celebrations.From London’s Trafalgar Square to major cities across Britain, tens of thousands of British people have joined Chinese communities to celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Rooster.In Manchester there was a Dragon Parade, led by a spectacular 54-meter long dragon, ending isChinatown where there was traditional Chinese entertainment, more than 6,000 lanterns, street food villages and a fireworks show. Celebrations also took place in Liverpool. Birmingham, Lake District, Durham, Edinburgh. Leeds and Newcastle.Academic Dr. Wu Kegang said that the Chinese New Year event in Britain “is now bigger than ever and it is growing every year.”When Wu arrived in Britain 26 years ago from Guangdong, south China, the first thing he noticed was that Chinese New Year was celebrated mainly in towns and cities with big Chinese communitie s. “You would go to London Chinatown and join your countrymen to celebrate, or to Chinatowns in places like Liverpool and Manchester for what were events almost exclus ively held for Chinese people,” Wu recalled.“Now it is so different, and we are seeing local communities all over the country taking part alongside their o wn Chinese populations,” he said. “It is clear to me that the cel ebrations will continue to grow in Britain. Chinese New Year has earned its place in the calendar of events in Britain, an d is here to stay.”28. Where did the Dragon Parade take place this year?A. London.B. Newcastle.C. Birmingham.D. Manchester.29. When Dr. Wu arrived in Britain 26 years ago, Chinese New Year was .A. very popular all around BritainB. celebrated mainly by Chinese communitiesC. only celebrated in London, Liverpool and ManchesterD. enjoyed by local communities alongside Chinese populations30. According to Dr. Wu, how will Chinese New Year develop in the next few years?A. Grow more popular.B. Get less remembered.C. Turn into an official holiday.D. Become more important than Christmas.31. What’s the main ide a of this passage?A. How British celebrate Chinese New Year.B. More and more British learn about Chinese culture.C. Chinese New Year has earned its popularity in Britain.D. Chinese communities celebrate New Year in Britain in various ways.DIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,”said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty­four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,”explained the scientists.32.
