mole than just a transport system．It is not unusual to see people reading thick books on the Tube，crowded at the door during rush hour．But there’s another way Londoners enjoy literature on the underground，as poems are scattered around randomly．The project of the poems has been running since 1986 and poems appear three timesa year，six at a time．Two of the poems are always written by living poets．American writer Judith Cherniak，editor and founder of Poems on the Underground，said that most of them are chosen randomly，either from great poets or from unknown enthusiastsof English poetry．Conceived(构思)by Cherniak，these poems aim to bring poetry to passengers，and showa wide range of styles．They are classical or contemporary，domestic or international．Love or hate poetry，this project“has proved to be an excellent way of introducing poetry， with passengers often wanting to read more，”according to the government organization Transport for London．“This has led to the publication of a series of Poemson the Underground books，which is now in its 11th edition．”This new edition contains poems that have been displayed in carriages over the years．The poems are classified into sections such as love，music，nature，war，and loss．“Our Tube system has become quite the bastion(堡垒)of British culture，”The London Insider magazine commented．24．Poems on the Underground is intended to_________．A．attract more passengersB．introduce a transport systemC．promote appreciation of poetryD．encourage people to write poems25．How many underground poems are presented a year?A．3． B．6． C．9．D．18．26．What can we learn about the poems appearing on the Tube?A．They differ in style and topic．B．They are recommended by the passengers．C．They mainly talk about love and war.D．They haven’t been edited into books．27．What can be inferred about the project?A．It is fruitfu1．B．It ends in failure．C．It is controversial．D．It meets with difficulty．CA Finnish city is handing out‘‘survival packs”to new arrivals to its universities and colleges，taking inspiration from the country’s famous baby starter boxes．The city of Lahti has packaged up a selection of essentials for new students，helped by contributions from local businesses，national broadcaster Yle reports．More than 1，000 students have received one of the packs so far．And just like the parcels given to pregnant mothers across the country，Lahti’s offering comes in a cardboard box．Among the items new students will find inside is a bus pass for trips around the city，some locally produced sheets and socks，and a pack of porridge，Yle says．Students can also put in the popular Nordic snack salmiakki．The survival pack is meant to introduce students to the delights of Lahti while also serving as a marketing opportunity for businesses in the city．“There has been some swapping going on，”says Rosberg from Lahti University of Applied Sciences，adding that someone was willing to swap their porridge for some ice hockey tickets．Ms Rosberg adds that other cities have also been in touch to enquire about the packs．While Yle reports that students have been giving the box various reviews，local newspaper Etela has a few ideas for some useful additions．After 900 reports of bicycle thefts in Lahti last year，the paper thinks a bike lock would be pretty handy．And because of many students’fondness for a drink，they suggest a bottle of orange juice is included as a guaranteed cure for drunkenness．28．What would be the best title of the passage?A．Survival packs for new students B．Boxes for baby startersC．Lahti’s gift for new comers D．Directions for new arrivals29．What are“survival packs”expected to do for the students?A．Help set up businesses． B．Provide job opportunities．C．Serve as a trip guide．D．Bring along the city’s delights．30．Rosberg tells us that________．A．the items are not always the sameB．everyone would like to change the itemsC．porridge won’t be in the packs any moreD．other cities have followed Lahti’s example31．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．A bike lock must be included．B．Students give different opinions．C．New items are recommended．D．A bottle of orange juice is a must．DYour friends’lives may look more exciting than yours on Facebook，but new research shows that is because they are faking(伪造)it．A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images(图像) to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous．And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers(同龄人)based on what they saw on their Instagram，Snapehat or Facebook pages．The British survey，by smartphone maker HTC，found that，in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting，six percent also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own．More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and places purely to show off，causing jealousy among friends and family．Behavioural psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurprising due to the rise of social media．“We’re living in a world of instant communication．”she said．“Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines；now people are in search of authentic，peer-to-peer recommendations as well，making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers．”“With images being shared in an instant we desire to know what our friends are wearing，or what super stars are buying，as soon as they have got them．”Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram，76 percent of those asked also said seeing items on social media influences them to buy them，with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see．32．How do some people make their lives appear more exciting?A．By buying pictures． B．By posting images．C．By making up stories．D．By risking their lives．33．What does the word“jealousy”in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Envy． B．Conflict． C．Adventure．D．Misunderstanding．34．What can we learn from Jo Hemmings?A．The trend reflects the development of social media．B．Fashion and style no longer exist in magazines．C．Magazines and newspapers are less important．D．The trend is beyond people's expectation．35．Which of the following best describes social media like Instagram? A．Persuasive． B．Creative． C．Positive．D．Honest．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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
