SHORTLIST OF LONDON'S BEST If you have limited visiting time we recommend you follow this list. 1) Houses of Parliament. The guided tours of the Houses of Parliament are excellent, in any language you want, and get you to places that even normal Brits can't. However, when Parliament is sitting, they are not running, but you can still get in. 2) Hampton Court. We rate this as one of the best attractions in Europe. A whole succession of kings and queens have added to Henry VIII’s original palace. There lie a fantastic park (by Capability Brown) and gardens (including the famous maze), and Tudor kitchens and one of the last remaining Real Tennis courts. Lots of free (once you've paid the admission) guided tours, some in costume, by people who know and love the place. It's also surrounded by a series of parks and makes a great destination for a bike trip — train out (30 minutes from Waterloo), bike back (12 miles) along the river. We prefer it to the Tower of London — you'll probably want to visit both, it knocks the spots off Buckingham Palace. 3) The River. Walk along the South Bank from Tower Bridge to Lambeth. The best of London is spread out for you: The Tower of London & Tower Bridge, The Houses of Parliament, Lambeth Palace (residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury), Shakespeare's Globe theatre, Both Tate Galleries, St Paul's Cathedral, The South Bank Centre, The Temple, The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Somerset House. (A 2 hour walk if you don't stop for long). Or you can take a boat out to Greenwich, the Thames Barrier or the Dome. 4) Westminster Abbey. Where they crown Kings. An unreasonable admission charge (should really be free or voluntary donation), but a masterpiece anyway. If you get bored of waiting in the queue, or packed down by the crowds, hurry yourself off to the City where there's more square space of historic church, and empty. 5) The Theatre. It'd be a crime to visit London and not take in a show. Londoners have been passionate about theatre for centuries. Not only is the quality high, but the price is low - one third the price of Broadway. Classical Music and Opera is of a similarly high standard and low price. 【1】A foreign student studying the history of British Royal Family would most probably prefer the tour of _______. A.Westminster Abbey B.Tower Bridge C.Somerset House D.Hampton Court 【2】The underlined statement “when Parliament is sitting” in paragraph 2 refers to the time _______. A.when the Parliament is not officially in session. B.when the members of Parliament are debating over a hot issue. C.when the Parliament is staying idle for repairs. D.when the members of Parliament are taking a break after some exercise 【3】Where do you think one can probably meet with a man as a guide wearing the eighteenth century royal clothing? A.In Lambeth Palace. B.In Buckingham Palace. C.In Hampton Court. D.St Paul’s Cathedral. 【4】Part of the reasons why Londoners are fond of theatre is that they enjoy _______. A.the criminal drama plots B.the inexpensive admission C.the Classical Music and Opera D.the scene of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre |

With an eye for style and a heart for the environment, 18-year-old Alexis Giger launched a do-it-yourself blog aimed at “reducing your environmental impact fashionably”. The idea was sparked (激发) by the ecology unit in her biology class at Charlotte Latin School last year, she said, which taught her about issues like deforestation and habitat destruction. “I started thinking about what I could do to stop the wastefulness in my immediate community,” the fashion lover said. The blog, ecouturieracg.wordpress.com, aims to make reusing thrift store (旧货店) finds or last season’s pieces easy and fashionable while cutting down on the resources consumed by garment production, Alexis said. Through online research, she discovered that a simple cotton T-shirt takes more than 700 gallons of water to make. “It made me realize that the fashion industry consumes huge amounts of natural resources as it relies on producing garments quickly and in large supply – many of the garments are only intended to be worn three or four times,” she said. Alexis had a number of tools to help her get started. Her mom, Kimberly, taught her to sew when she was 5. Her grandmother taught her to crochet (钩边) around the same time. Alexis said she also gained technical knowledge and inspiration from her part-time job at a clothing company that creates theater wardrobes for schools and drama productions. Prior to the blog launch, she spent several months illustrating “recycling” projects by creating photo tutorials. Though Ecouturier hasn’t been online long, she’s been getting positive feedback. “I’ve had people come up to me in the hall and say, ‘Hey, I saw your blog. I’m working on one of the projects right now,’” Alexis said. She said she hasn’t bought a brand-new piece of clothing since last July, and her thrift store shopping has paid off with finds such as a $5 (31 yuan) dress she wore to homecoming. “Taking an hour from Saturday afternoon to make something for yourself can really have an impact on the environment. A little change every day can really add up,” Alexis said. 【1】What inspired Alexis to launch a do-it-yourself blog? A.Her talent at making handicrafts. B.Her fascination with the fashion industry. C.Her part-time work experiences. D.Her growing concern for the environment after taking a biology class. 【2】What is the content of the blog Alexis set up? A.It sells items made from thrift store finds. B.It teaches people how to choose thrift store goods. C.It encourages people to remake their clothing in a cool way. D.It informs people of the bad effects of deforestation and habitat destruction. 【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A.In order to promote her blog, Alexis is spending a lot of time online every day. B.The projects on Alexis’ blog have convinced some people to try recycling clothes themselves. C.Alexis has been dreaming of working in the fashion industry since she was a child. D.To start the blog, Alexis learned from her mother and grandmother how to sew and crochet. 【4】The underlined word “feedback” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________. A.attitude B.advice C.response D.approach 【5】Which of the following best describes Alexis? A.Creative and responsible. B.Smart and cooperative. C.Independent and humorous. D.Fashionable and amusing. |

At one time，computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written，stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper. It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of the use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down. "says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization. Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week, Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just an on-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers. Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. "I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling, "said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste. 【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.Documents can be stored in computers electronically. B.Computers effectively cut down the use of paper. C.A large number of e-mails need to be printed in reality. D.Printers are in a greater demand owing to the Internet. 【2】The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to _______________. A.the rapid development of small businesses B.the opening up of new markets C.the printing of high quality copies D.the increased use of the Internet 【3】Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because___________ . A.they see a growing market for printers B.printers in many offices are working overtime C.small companies need more hard copies D.people are concerned about the environment 【4】Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is_____________ A.to encourage printing more quality documents B.to develop new printers using recycled paper C.to find new materials for making paper D.to plant more fast growing trees 【5】What would be the best title for the text? A.Computers and Printers B.E-mail and the Business World C.Internet Revolution and Environment D.Modern Technology and New Markets |

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone. The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection. The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor. The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says. Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed. The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market. Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush. 【1】Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush? A.It can sense how users brush their teeth. B.It can track users’school performance. C.It can detect users’fear of seeing a dentist. D.It can help users find their phones. 【2】What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3? A.You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist. B.You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis. C.You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist. D.You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day. 【3】Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun? A.It can be used to update mobile phones. B.It can be used to play mobile phone games C.It can send messages to other users D.It can talk to its developers. 【4】What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A.How Serval found out his kids lied to him. B.Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary. C.How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth. D.What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush 【5】What can we infer about Serval’s children? A.They were unwilling to brush their teeth B.They often failed to clean their toothbrushes. C.They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head. D.They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home. 【6】What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree? A.The brush handle will be removed. B.A mobile phone will be built into it. C.It will be used to fill holes in teeth D.It will be able to check users’ teeth |

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools. My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along. I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it. Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate. Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting. 【1】What made the author’s school days difficult? (No more than 5 words) 【2】Why did art give the author confidence? (No more than 10 words) 【3】What lesson did the author learn from rock climbing? (No more than 15 words) 【4】What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4? (No more than 5 words) 【5】How does the author’s story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life? Put it in your own words. (No more than 20 words) |
