AWith beautiful canals, top art museums, and cycling culture I Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. As the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands, it’s often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its wide system of bridges and canals. Here are some key points for you to keep in mind while planning a trip there.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. The top museums to visit are the Rijks museum, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. As a World Heritage Site, the Canal Ring was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and an area for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of the city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. It’s not a good idea to drive a car to the city center. Cycling is popular here, and it’s easy to rent a cheap bike around the town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain (地形) and it’s a good choice to explore the c ity on foot.Money-saving Tips• Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.• Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.• Instead of hiring a tour guide, jump onto a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.21. Why was the Canal Ring originally built in Amsterdam?A. To build more museums.B. To encourage rich people to live there.C. To become a World Heritage Site.D. To help people enjoy colorful nightlife.22. What does the author advise for tourists to visit city center in Amsterdam?A. Hiring a local tour guide.B. Traveling to the city center by taxi.C. Visiting the city by bike or on foot.D. Avoiding the use of trains.23. How can a tourist save money according to the author’s advice?A. By hiring a professional guide.B. By booking a hotel in the city center.C. By buying all the tickets from the counter.D. By visiting the city on a canal boat.BWhen Wu Jia, then aged 23, returned from Canada to work for her father’s Hangzhou-based Zoland Animation (动画) in 2007, she found Chinese animation productions were just-so-so. Back then, Chinese animation shown at overseas events, received a poor response.But things soon changed following a boom in China’s movie and television industries. By 2011, China developed into one of the world’s largest animation producers, with animation and cartoon products reaching a record of 260,000 minutes.However, that figure has witnessed a fall in recent years. The latest statistics show that China made only 244 animated productions totaling 83,600 minutes in 2017. But Wu says: “Chinese animators are changing from quantity to quality and Chinese animators are now producing more quality works” at the 14th China International Cartoon & Animation Festival.Wu, now the chairman of Zoland Animation, is among those who are part of China’s rapidly growing animation industry. She says the company has so far displayed more than 8,000 hours of animated content to 93 countries and regions, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, South Korea and Russia.Magic Eye, one of Zoland’s most popular animated works, which was sold to just Singapore in 2006, is now reaching the screens of nearly 80 countries and regions worldwide. The 500-episode animated series about an alien boy’s adventures on Earth also has a sequel (续集) series Magic Eye is Back, which has 104 episodes. Thanks to Magic Eye’s popularity, the sequel quick ly arouses interest in overseas markets and is being displayed in 38 countries and regions.Speaking about how to succeed abroad, Wu says: “First, the works should be good. And, you need an experienced team who knows international markets.”24. Which chart can describe the development of animation production in the past ten years?25. What does the author attempt to tell the readers in the third paragraph?A. China’s animators should produce more works like before.B. China has become the largest animation producer.C. China’s animation industry is shifting from quantity to quality.D. China’s animation industry is developing blindly.26. “Magic Eye” is mentioned in the passage to suggest that .A. China’s animation industry is expanding its market overseasB. China’s animation industry is growing at home rapidlyC. The animation about kids’ adventure is always popularD. Long animated series can always arouse kids’ interest27. What can we predict from Wu Jia’s words in the last paragraph?A. She will go back to Canada to learn animation.B. She will move her company overseas.C. Her company will leave from the international market.D. Her company will try to create products of high quality.CA new library in Tianjin—Tianjin Binhai Public Library—recently became an online hit. The Daily Mail described it as “breathtaking”. One loo k at the library and you’ll see why. With its very futuristic design and walls loaded with books, it’s the dream library of every book lover.But there’s a burning question lying in the back of our minds: with physical bookstores closing down one by one, what makes libraries survive the wave of digitalization? Do we really still need libraries as we’ve got the internet in our hands?Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance. People are simply changing the way they use the m,” he wrote on the Guardian website. Since not everyone can afford a smartphone, a tablet or an internet connection, and not everyone knows how to search the Internet correctly and efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources are available to a larger group of people.And one of the pitfalls that come with online materials is that they’re not always reliable. “Google doesn’t tell you what you’re not getting, so people need to evaluate (评估) the quality of what they see on their scr eens,” Sarah Pritchard, dean of libraries at Northwestern University, told Northwestern Research Magazine. And libraries are usually where that “evaluation” happens.But we still need the physical space that a library provides. It’s something that’s called a “third place”, according to the Seattle Times. This is a place in which we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted. Compared to other “third places” like coffee shops, libraries have a “non-commercial nature” that a llows you to relax completely.“Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,”Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, wrote on the Newsroom website.28. Which may best describe Tianjin Binhai Public Library according to Para 1?A. Peaceful.B. Impressive.C. Traditional.D. Imaginary.29. The underlined word “pitfall” in Para 4 is closest in meaning to “”.A. trapB. secretC. adventureD. evaluation30. Why are physical libraries still needed in a digital age?A. They allow us to use the Internet freely.B. They are where we can buy things easily.C. They provide more information than the Internet.D. They give people space to concentrate on their study.31. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. A Digital Library in TianjinB. A Library Available to Get RelaxedC. A Physical Library Living in the Digital AgeD. Library Providing Reliable MaterialsDA team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just a bunch of individual components (零件),”said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. “The added difficulty with such a project is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to make them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, and then has to be matchedwell to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect- scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications (应用). “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,”he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”32. What challenge did the engineers have when making the robotic fly?A. They don’t have enough related knowledge.B. They are lack of ready-made components.C. The system is too complex to work.D. They fail to control all the components.33. What does the success of the robotic fly prove?A. Scientists are able to make tiny flying machines.B. Humans will create a new kind of species for the nature.C. The flight device will not need so many components.D. It will help to kill dangerous insects in the nature.34. What does Wood hope to do with the flying device?A. To fix the system on other animals.B. To put it to the market for money.C. To solve more scientific problems.D. To encourage people to learn biology.35. How does Wood feel about the application of the robotic fly?A. WorriedB. Curious.C. Doubtful.D. Confident.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
