A.In China, traveling by train is quite popular. People take trains to visit new places, or go back to their hometowns during holidays. In the United States, however, few people take trains these days. But once upon a time, trains were popular in the US, too.The US railway system started to grow in 1826. Many railway companies built new railways at the time. Trains became a symbol of progress (发展). But later, as more people started to drive cars, fewer people took trains. In fact, I had never travelled by train until I moved to China.My first train trip in China was from Beijing to Tianjin by high-speed train. It was amazing how quickly I could get there －my trip was just half an hour. Since then, I’ve taken the train to lots of other Chinese cities. It’s always a good time. People on the train are often friendly and happy to chat. And of course, I like to eat instant noodles(方便面) when I’m taking the train. They taste better there than anywhere else.31. Which of the following is TRUE about the US railway system?A. The first railway was built in 1926.B. Trains are a symbol of the US.C. US people like traveling by car better than by train.D. There is no railway system any more in the US.32. The author’s first trip by train was _________ .A. from the US to ChinaB. from Beijing to TianjinC. from New York to BeijingD. from Tianjin to Beijing33. What does the writer think of traveling by high-speed train in China?A. High-speed trains are too slow.B. People talk too loudly on high-speed trains.C. People eat much food on high-speed trains.D. It’s fast and fun to take high-speed trains.B.Do you often make the V sign when taking photos? You might want to do so less often from now on.Experts (专家) say that it is possible to use the V sign to copy someone’s fingerprints. Someone could take your photo, zoom in (放大) on your fingers, and then use AI technology (人工智能技术) to copy your prints.Does that mean you should not make the V sign in photos anymore? Not really. The fingerprints in your photos must be clear enough to copy. If the photo is taken from 1.5 meters or less away, it is possible to copy your prints. But if the photo is taken from over 3 meters away, your prints wo n’t be clear enough to copy. The photos we put online are usually not clear enough to copy. But still, you should be careful.Did you know? Your fingerprints are unique. It means that no one else in the world has the same fingerprints as yours. Not even twins have the same fingerprints. The fingerprints on each of your fingers are also different. Your fingerprints stay the same from birth to death. This makes fingerprints one of the best ways to identify (识别) people.34. According to Paragraph 2, why should we stop making the V sign in photos?A. Because it looks ugly.B. Because it is boring.C. Because it’s not cool any more.D. Because someone might copy our fingerprints.35. People can copy our fingerprints when we _________ .A. take photos from 4 meters awayB. take unclear photos from 2 meters awayC. take clear photos from 1 meter awayD. take photos without showing our fingers36. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “unique” ?A. 特殊的B.独特的C.普通的D.奇怪的C.Library Cards are free to all citizens（公民）in California.

Stop!" he cried."What is it?" shouted the Squire."The bridge is broken in the middle, he answered. "If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river.""Thank God!" said the Squire. "Thank you, Beauty!" said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said: "Black Beauty saved our lives.
