But how could such an old city look so modern? During World War Ⅱ, over one third of buildings in Tokyo were destroyed (被摧毁). After World War Ⅱ, people began to build the city again. That’s why the city looked different from before.Today Tokyo is a very welcoming city. Many people come to visit Tokyo every day. The best way to go to the city from other parts of Japan is by train. And the Skinkansen, the fast trains arefamous all over the world. Visitors from other countries can enjoy themselves a lot in Tokyo. They can learn Japanese culture and try Japanese food.

This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by car or by bus.This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams (事故). However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jams for a train.Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground.Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, theyhave to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services (服务) for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs (电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phones.1题完成句子；2、3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下本文的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语.31．Trains have to take before they are used on the rail track.

HappyB. sadC. excitedD. boredCDo you know that more than half of the people living in Copenhagen（哥本哈根），the Danish capital，ride a bike to school or work every day？The city has set a goal（目标）to become the world's first carbon neutral（碳中立）capital by2025.Cycling（骑行）is actually a faster and more time-saving way to travel in Copenhagen.That's why you'll find more bikes than people and more than 5 times as many bikes than cars in this city！Copenhagen is a cycling paradise（天堂）. The city has done its best to encourage people to ride bikes-it has built more than 1000 km of cycling roads. The city planners have made plans to help park bikes and repair bikes forfree--wow！Copenhagen's cyclists hardly break traffic rules. Several of the city's main streets are only used for bike lanes （车道）. Bike lanes along major roads are wide. Copenhagen is building 38 highways along the main city roads. The city's subways also allow cyclists to bring their bikes in the train，free of costThe city planners are working hard to make cyclists feel safe So when cyclists get closer to a main crossing，sensors（传感器）down the streets ‘tell’ the traffic lights to give them a ‘green’ light，which means cyclists don' t have to worry about the heavy traffic. Isn't that cool One smooth journey from home to school！Even in the cold winters，the workers clean snow on the cycling lanes before car lanes.Lately，however，the city is facing a new problem-there are not enough parking lots for cyclists. Some people now start leaving their bikes just about anywhere. Perhaps the best way is to make more space for bikes or build underground parking lots.At the same time，other big cities are following Copenhagen's example，such as London，Paris，New York，Beijing and San Francisco They are all taking actions to encourage cyclists.26. What goal does Copenhagen hope to reach by 2025？A. To build more and wider roads for cyclists.B. To set a good example for other cities to follow.C. To encourage more people to go to work by bike..D. To become the world’s first carbon neutral capital.27. Much more people in Copenhagen ride bikes than driving because_______.A. the traffic is too heavyB. it's faster and saves more timeC. there are more bike lanesD. the city doesn't allow driving28 What problem is the city facing nowA. Other cities are following its example.B. Some cyclists often break traffic rules.C. There isn't enough space for bike parking.D. Car drivers are not pleased with cyclists.DWe often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock （解锁）our self-improvement power. However，there's always something staring at us right under our nose but we don't see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.When do we realize that we need to change diets？When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us .When do we stop eating candies and chocolates When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking When our lungs （肺）have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change，but change becomes more painful when we ignore（忽视）it.Change will happen，like it or hate it. At one point or another，we are all going to finally unlock ourself-improvement power not because the world says so. But because we realize it，'s for our own good.Happy people don' t just accept change; they embrace（拥抱）it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage（勇气）to be around groups of people She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years，that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd comes，she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story，but lives it！Self-improvement may not be everybody's favorite word，but if we look at things in a different way，we mighthave greater chances of enjoying the whole process（过程）instead of counting the days until we are fully improved Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life .Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that were beginning to take things light and become happy.29. The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that_______.A. we learn our lessons when we experience pain.B. we are responsible for the problems we meet.C. life fails us when we get into the wrong way.D. life is a long journey full of ups and downs30. What is the key to solving Jane's problem？A. She needs to remember why she started.B. She has to know how to get on with people.C She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.D. She needs to understand the importance of confidence.31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？A. Is it important to take things light？B. Is it necessary to embrace challenges？C. To hold on to the last moment or to give upD. To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it？阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题When I opened the box at my 12th birthday party，I couldn't believe my eyes.

It was hard to show my mom the paper. She never saw “D”on my tests .Well，finally，I showed her and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all，she was disappointed（失望）.Weeks passed and my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They would say，"We have noticed that you never talk to us. It's like you have your own little world now and your phone is more important than anything else. First I thought hey were wrong，but then I got to know that I was spending too much time on the phone.A week later I tried going a whole day without a cell phone and it didn’t go that badly I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and caring about them.

Do you know how to be green?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.ReduceReduce means "use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.ReuseReuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup of a paper bag. It's better to use a china(陶瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.26.What is the passage about?A. How to produce things.B. How to help others.C. How to be green.27.Which of the following is right?A. Don't waste things.B. Always throw away old things.C. Buy too many things from abroad.28.Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?A. You can burn them.B．You can use them again.C. You can change them into something else.29.To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: _______.A. waste, reuse and recycleB. repair, burn and recycleC. reduce, reuse and recycle30.Where may the passage come from?A. A dictionary.B. A magazine.C. A storybook.BIt's a popular idea that fish can't remember anything for longer than seven seconds(秒). But these days, a study found that fish have much better memories than we thought. Some kinds of fish can even remember things from as long as 12 days ago, BBC reported.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained African cichlids to go to a certain(具体的) area of their tank(鱼缸) to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.This showed that they could remember their past experiences. Researchers also found that after such a long break, the fish still went to the same place as before. Finally, scientists think that African cichlids might have a good memory.An earlier study showed that they acted aggressively(有侵略性地) in front of certain fish, probably because they remembered their past fights. But until now, there was no clear evidence(证据)."If fish are able to remember a certain area with safe food, they can go back to that area without putting their lives in danger," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, people numbered fish far behind monkeys, dolphins(海豚) and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study gave scientists a new understanding of their intelligence(智商).So next time you are watching your pet fish, you might feel closer to them—they may remember who you are.31.What is the popular idea about fish?A.
