Bicycle Safety Operation Always ride your bike in a safe, controlled manner on campus (校园). Obey rules and regulations. Watch out for walkers and other bicyclists, and always use your lights in dark conditions. Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack -- even if you are only away for a minute. Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety. It's fast, easy, and free. Registration permanently records your serial number, which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen. Equipment * Brakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly. * Helmet A necessity, make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fits properly. * Lights Always have a front headlight -- visible at least 500 feet in front of the bike.

Birthdays often involve surprises．But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic． On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake．This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like．“It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery． The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples．The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the “Flower portrait”— was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death．The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture．These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814．Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609． “We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840．This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator （馆长）, told the Associated President． The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays．It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company． “There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company．“Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture．” Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month．________． 【1】What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year? A.It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609． B.The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake． C.Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one． D.It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays around 1818 to 1840． 【2】Which statement is True according to the passage? A.Portraits of Shakespeare are all unreliable． B.“Flower portrait” was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower． C.1814 might be when the portrait was drawn． D.The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play． 【3】How many methods were used to test the portrait? A.Not mentioned． B.Two C.Three D.At least four． 【4】The best title for this passage is ________． A.Birthdays often involve surprises B.The surprise on the 441st birthday of Shakespeare C.One portrait of Shakespeare is a fake D.How can we know Shakespeare's appearance? 【5】Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph? A.Soon we'll know which portrait is reliable． B.Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare． C.If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more． D.For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery． |

I loved my aunt Suzy. She was such a kind old lady. I loved going to her house on holiday. She had been sick for the last few years and, though my job had taken me away across the town, I tried to visit her as much as possible. I helped with the shopping, the cooking and the cleaning and taking her pet cat Mazy to the vet. Sad as her passing away was, what happened to Mazy was even more worrying. Because aunt Suzy had no children, there wasn’t anyone who seemed to care for her beloved cat friend. I would have taken her in a short time, but my apartment doesn’t allow pets. First, we talked with her neighbors. Mr. Jenkins, who was alone and lived across the street, wasn’t interested. Joe and Sally who lived next door had a small child with serious skin allergies(过敏症). My aunt’s best friend Molly who had lived just down the road was unable to take care of herself as she had serious health problems. Second, we thought about our family members. My brother Bobby and his wife Jill were eliminated at once as they aren’t cat people. My cousin in California was a bit interested, but we weren’t sure about the trip as Mazy was nearly as old as my aunt (in cat years!). Finally, we came to the local humane society to see whether they would be able to help her find a new home. The problem was that most people and families only welcomed a smart little cat into their home, not a dull old one. In the end, we had to put Mazy to sleep. I had spoken with the vet and realized it was possible for the best. It was so hard to lose aunt Suzy and then have nowhere for Mazy to live. A few months went by and I had gone to my aunt’s house to clear out some of her belongings. I happened to see her mailman. Jerry and we started to talk about my aunt when he asked about Mazy. I told him that we had to put Mazy to sleep because we couldn’t find a home for her. Jerry got really quiet. “I promised Suzy that if anything ever happened to her, I’d take care of Mazy”, he said sadly. “Suzy always said she’d told her lawyer the arrangement.” Hearing this, my heart sank to my feet and I almost cried. The saddest part, I realized, was this all could have been avoided. I guess we were just so busy in those final months that we didn’t think about it. We could have called my aunt’s lawyer to take care of it in less than 10 minutes. I’ll never forgive myself for not thinking of it sooner. And I’ll never forgive myself for losing Mazy. 【1】To care for her aunt’s cat the writer first thought of ________. A. her aunt’s neighbors B. her own neighbors C. her own relatives D. her family members 【2】What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Think over for a while. B. Remove or get rid of. C. Call somebody for something. D. Give somebody a surprise. 【3】Why didn’t the writer think her cousin was suitable for taking care of the cat? A. Her cousin had skin allergies. B. Her cousin disliked animals. C. Her cousin lived too far away. D. Her cousin was in poor health. 【4】It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. the writer let the cat take medicine to sleep B. most families there didn’t want to raise a cat C. the cat was killed without pain D. the writer’s aunt was very forgetful 【5】What the writer regretted was that she didn’t ________. A. try her best to care for her aunt’s cat B. ask her aunt who would take care of the cat C. talk with her aunt’s mailman months earlier D. manage to find out her aunt’s arrangement for Mazy |

短文语法填空 Diets have changed in China --- and so too has its top crop. Since 2011, the country 【1】 (grow) more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 【2】 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is 【3】(actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn’s rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 【4】(improve) water quality. Corn uses less water 【5】 rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 【6】 (pollute) in the country’s major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water 【7】(safe) for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total global fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005 --- when the government 【8】(start) a soil-testing program 【9】 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers --- and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China’s approach to protecting its environment while 【10】(feed) its citizens “offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide.” says the bank’s Juergen Voegele. |
