A

The London Eye 4D Film Experience started in August and is included in the London Eye ticket price. It is a fantastic 4D film to entertain you before your trip on the London Eye. The 4D effects are great.

No Extra Cost to Y ou

That‘s right; you buy your ticket for the London Eye and 4D cinema experience. Merlin Entertainments, the London Eye owners, spent 5 million creating the film and building the 4D

cinema and wanted to improve the value for money of the London Eye.

What to Expect

The 4D Cinema entrance is in the ticket hall. So after buying your ticket, go straight to it,

where you‘ll be given a pair of glasses. About 160 visitors will pass through the 4D cinema every 8

minutes so don‘t worry about waiting time. People in the bright pink cinema are all standing on

four levels. The top level is designed for wheelchairs.

London Eye 4D Film

Put on your glasses and enjoy yourself. The story is about a little girl visiting London with her

father and she wants to be higher to get a better view so she comes to the London Eye. It differs

from watching the 3D film for all your senses are involved. When it snows on screen, you feel it

snows in the cinema. And when you watch the fireworks, you can really smell them.

For a short film, less than four minutes, before the main attraction you think you‘ve come for,

you are going to love this free extra. I stood there with my mouth wide open at the end as many

others did. It‘s fantastic! The effects are the Hollywood standard as no expense is spared. I was

lucky enough to try the film three times on the first day and I still want to go back again.

36. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?

A. He mainly introduces the 4D film of Merlin Entertainments.

B. He mainly introduces the London Eye entertainment centre.

C. He mainly tells us his experiences while creating the 4D film.

D. He mainly introduces to us how to take part in the 4D film.

37. Why did the Merlin Entertainments build the 4D film cinema?

A. Because it wanted to attract more visitors to London.

B. Because it wanted to increase the value of the London Eye.

C. Because it could provide more entertainments for visitors.

D. Because it could earn more money from the public in the UK.

38. Where could people get into the 4D film cinema?

A. Under the London Eye.

B. In the Hollywood.

C. In the ticket hall.

D. In the ticket centre.

39. While seeing a 4D film, people will feel ________.

A. greatly frightened

B. much worried

C. sweet smell

D. as if they were on the scene

40. According to the passage, a 4D film probably lasts about ________.

D. 8 minutes

B

I stole your dog today. No, I didn‘t set a foot on your house, but from t he condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like…the word ―rubbish‖ comes to mind.

I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the Woods, the "cross" that she dragged behind her would have wrapped around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her. She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching (畏缩) when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won‘t beat her, in fact, she ra rely leaves my side. She‘s even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I watched from the window as she attempted to play with the other dogs. No, it‘s clear she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.

It‘s not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I‘ll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is one bit of stolen ―property‖ who is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, plead with the courts that she is rightfully yours ... I'm convinced this is the best ―crime‖ I‘ve ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she‘d defend my decision with her l ife. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.

41. What's the author's attitude towards the former owner of the dog?

A. Puzzled.

B. Angry.

C. Shocked.

D. Satisfied. 42. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. the dog is not lovely

B. the dog tried to find a kind master

C. the dog was treated badly by its former master

D. the author will be charged with stealing a dog

43. All the following statements showed us the dog's recovery from her nature except _______. A. playing with other dogs B. barking at a cat

C. not missing her former master

D. waving her tail to make greetings 44. What did the author think of his theft? A. He was afraid of being punished. B. He thought he had to do it.

C. He believed that the law would allow him to do so.

D. He did it with pride.

45. What ‘s the purpose did the author write the passage?

A. To warn the people in the town not to keep dogs.

B. To prove his love to the dog to her former owner.

C. To explain to the police why the dog were in the Woods.

D. To ask people to find the dog a loving home and a owner who loves dogs.

C

We all know that eating junk food can make us fat. However, a new study suggests that it can do more than that – it can also make us lazy, reported CBS News.

In the study, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, US divided 32 female rats into two groups. The first group was fed a diet of healthy food such as corn and fish, while the second was given a diet of highly processed (加工的) food rich in sugar, namely ―junk food‖. Within three months, the rats in the second group were already much fatter than those on the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats to do simple tasks, they found even more differences between the two groups rather than weight.

During the task – pushing a lever (杠杆) to receive a reward of sugar water – the rats on the junk food diet were found to be less willing to move, and they took longer breaks between each push than the lean rats did.

―It is as if the rat is thinking ?This is too much work‘,‖ Aaron Blaisdell, leader of the study, told the Los Angeles Times.

But what about the possibility that the fat rats were less passionate about getting sugar water because they were already eating lots of sugar in their daily diet? That‘s why research ers repeated the tests by rewarding fat rats with plain water when they were extremely thirsty. However, the results came out just the same.

According to researchers, these differences suggest that junk food changed the chemistry in the rats‘ brains.

The experiment didn‘t end there . After six months, the rats‘ diets were switched, and the overweight rats were given a healthy diet for nine days. However, this change didn‘t help reduce their weight or improve their ability to perform tasks, which means the effects of their junk food diet persisted (持续存在). ―There‘s no quick fix,‖ said Blaisdell.

For a long time, we‘ve believed that people become fat because they are lazy. But this study has proven the opposite to be true as well, which indicates that laziness and obesity are a ―vicious cycle (恶性循环)‖.

So, if you constantly feel tired, lacking any urge to get up from your chair, it could be that you‘ve been studying too hard. But you should also pay attention to your diet.

46. During the first three months of the experiment by researchers at the University of California, ______.

A. rats from the healthy diet group ate nothing but corn and fish

B. rats on the junk food diet ate more than those on healthy diet

C. rats on the healthy food diet performed better at simple tasks than those on the junk food diet

D. rats on the junk food diet seemed uninterested in sugary food

C. after a quick cure for obesity had been found

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

You don‘t have to be spineless(没有骨气的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.

You can not expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have

some of these faults and have to fight against them.

At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong,

it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don‘t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see

why and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike

you. Some day, things may turn out all right and then you will have to learn to get along the best

with situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can‘t change.

51.One of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along with others is _____.

A. to draw attention of our friends

B. to demand the best share of everything

C. to look for treasure in order to be successful

D. to pay more attention to other people‘s good points

52. According to the passage, if one wants to be popular he has to _____.

A. be polite and friendly

B. give up some rights

C. avoid arguing with other people

D. be ready to change his or her character

53.The passage shows that there is no perfect person but everyone should be blamed if he _____.

A. is no better than others

B. is selfish and lazy

C. does not draw a lesson from his own fault

D. is very happy about his unpleasant quality

54.The passage implies that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself _____.

A. no better than others

B. not the same as others

C. as having something better than others

D. as having better chances than others

55.The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to _____.

A. train you to be perfect

B. show you the way to be happy

C. tell you how to act when you dislike a person

D. teach you how to be popular among your friends

Ashley Power‘s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn‘t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, ―If I had my own website, I‘d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.‖

So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called GooseHead. Young people got excited when they searched on this website and step by step they introduced the site to others and made more friends. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.

After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called GooseHead Guide to Life . It's safe to say that this is a book for teens that they'll enjoy. The book is about how to design a website and start a business.

But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I was stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen — I didn‘t even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you‘d be stressed, too!‖

In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business, ―Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And don‘t listen when people tell you that you can‘t do it, because I heard ?no‘ a lot. Just keep going until you hear ?yes ‘!‖
