The following steps can help you findcheaper alternatives for transport for your London trip.Familiarize yourself with the city’s boroughs(区) and determine specifically the area where you will be staying. You can use a street map, or an online map search engine, to establish where in the city you will be staying and the distance you are from the major tourist attractions you want to visit.Find a local provider of Transport for London tickets or travel cards, since your first bargain purchase will be an an an Oyster card. Travelling around London with an Oyster card will give you access to the cheapest option of transportation methods and the Oyster card is accepted citywide on buses, boats and the London underground, known by the locals as “the tube”.Seek out your nearest tube station. The tube is the cheapest and most reliable form of transportation and runs from around 6 am until around 1 am, depending on the line or the station.There are 287 tube stations in London that accept the Oyster card, with a high concentration in Central London. If you are staying anywhere in Central London, there will be a tube station less than 10 minutes away.The Transport for London website offers a tube station search facility to find the nearest subway station to any location in the city. When you find a tube station, you can easily locate the closest bus stop by using the comparison bus-tube maps at the station’s entrance.Follow the Transport for London Tube Guide to your destinations and always plan ahead. Making a plan for transport will save you unnecessary expenses, wasted trips on the tube and doubling back on your journey.1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce the public transport system in London.B.To show readers how to use the Oyster card.C.To prove the subway in London is easy to use.D.To offer tips for saving transport costs in London.2.Which of the following can help a traveller spend the least money on transport?A.Trying different transportation methods.B.Taking buses as much as possible.C.Travelling with an Oyster card.D.Making a plan before your journey.3.We can conclude from the passage that .A.the subway is the cheapest means of transport in LondonB.only tube stations in Central London accept an Oyster cardC.subway lines in London run more than 19 hours a dayD.the transfer from subway to bus is not always availableBIreland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south is an independent country.In the 1840s, the main crop was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people will work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.4. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?A.How the Irish fought against the English.B.How Ireland gained independence.C.How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D.How two “Irelands” came i nto being.5. We learn from the text that in Ireland .A.food shortages in the 1840s led to a decrease in populationB.people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC.it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD.different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments6. The last paragraph is mainly about.A.the Irish characterB.Irish cultureC.Irish musical instrumentsD.a famous Irish writer7. What can be the best title for the text?A.Life in IrelandB.A very difficult historyC.Ireland, past and presentD.The independence of IrelandCEaster Island’s large and mysterious stone statues (雕像) have made it world famous. These statues, whose likenesses look like humans with huge stone cylinders (圆筒状物) balancing on their heads like hats, have tourists coming from all over the world. The tourists come to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They come to see the mystery that has puzzled historians for decades.Easter Island is located in a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. Easter Island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.On Easter Sunday 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from 10 to 40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.The early islanders probably worshiped (崇拜) these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors of the war and ancestors of thepresent inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their heads presents a challenging task.8. What do we know about Easter Island?A.It is a big island of Chile.B.It is located in North Pacific Ocean.C.It was named after a Dutch explorer.D.Its early inhabitants were Polynesians.9. Scientists are still uncertain about .A.why people built the statuesB.where people made the statuesC.how people transported the statuesD.how many statues there are on the island10. What happened in 1680?A.Many statues were damagedB.Another 15 statues were put upC.People began to worship the statuesD.The islanders started a war against outsiders11. The purpose of the text is to .A.entertainB.advertisermD.persuadeⅣ概要写作阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Every single day, about 4,000kids between the ages of 12 and 17 start smoking. Most junior school students don’t smoke－only about 1 in 10 does. Most senior school students don’t smoke either －about 1 in 4 does.But why do those who smoke ever begin? There’s more than just one simple answer. Some kids may startsmoking just because they’re curious. Others may like the idea of doing something that grown-ups don’t want them to do. Still others might think smoking is a way to act or smoking makes them look like an adult.Luckily, fewer people are starting to smoke than a few years ago. Maybe that’s because more and more people have learned that smoking can cause cancer and heart disease. Sometimes kids don’t worry about what future illness they might get.Nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. If kids smoke, it will hurt their lungs and hearts each time they light up. It can also make it more difficult for blood to flow in the body, so smokers may feel tired. The longer they smoke, the worse the damage becomes.The human body is smart, and it knows when it’s being poisoned. When kids try smoking for the first time, they often cough a lot and feel pain or burnt in their throats and lungs. This is their lungs’ way of trying to protect them. Also, many kids say that they feel sick to their stomachs or课时训练2Section ⅢLearning about Language & Using LanguageⅠ.品句填词1．The origins of the ________(宇宙)are still a mystery.2．The May 4th ________(运动) of 1919 is very important in the history of China.3．Our teacher tells us that exercise ________(有助于)to good health.4．Several ________(热情的) young teachers have just started working at the school.5．She’s got a really ________(积极的)attitude to life.6．When her husband left home she felt ________(抛弃)and useless.Ⅱ.选词填空reject；be strict with；enthusiastic；make sense of；make sense；cautious1．I can’t ____________________this poem,but perhaps I will if I read it again.2．Although I ____________________ by the university, I didn’t lose heart.3．As she ____________ very __________________ her children, they developed a good studying habit.4．Only after finishing reading the passage can you find it ____________________.5．With so many people watching him, Jim was very ________________.6.

time.Studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work,create prosthetic limbs(假肢)for humans that work much better than in the past,or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get“walking”abilities.“Researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time,”said Jonathan Hurst,a professor at OSU.“What we’ve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot.”The movement of humans and other animals is difficult to ing little energy,they can move easily over hard areas,and enjoy balance from muscles(肌肉)．They have different ways to deal with forces,such as holding something hard in place rigidly(牢牢地),like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride.In their recent studies,the OSU researchers proved that these two_abilities are mutually exclusive(相互排斥的)．Humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles.For a robot,the more it’s able to do one of these tasks,the less able it is to do the other.Presently,robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking.But this way uses a lot of energy.The OSU researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance,but uses far less energy,and is closer to the abilities of animals.“So there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to build robots with good movement ability,”Hurst said.“Clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous si tuations.But I could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology.”1．The robots being studied by researchers at OSU________.A．are successful nowB．use little energyC．do better than beforeD．can run faster than humans2．Which of the following have researchers been studying all the time?A．The robots’ movement.B．The robot s’ weight.C．The robots’ sizes.D．The robots’ walking speed.3．The underlined words“two abilities”in Para.4 refer to________.A．walking and runningB．walking and holdingC．moving and using little energyD．moving and balancing4．According to Jonathan Hurst,we know that robots with good movement ability________. A．can be used in medical scienceB．are only used in highly dangerous situationsC．will hardly be created in the futureD．will have a bad influence on man5．Which section of a newspaper is this passage probably taken from?A．Business.B．Science.C．Environment.

It is the longest river in the world and flows about 6,677 km through Eastern Africa from its most remote sources in Burundi to a delta on the Mediterranean Sea in Northeast Egypt. The main headstreams, the Blue Nile and the White Nile,join at Khartoum in Sudan to form the Nile proper. The river has been used for irrigation in Egypt since at least 4000 B. C．, a function now regulated largely by the Aswan High Dam.The source of the Nile and its life－giving flood were a mystery to the people of the world for centuries. First, Ptolemy held that the source was the “Mountain of the Moon”, and the search for the origin of the Nile attracted much attention of the people in the 18th and 19th centuries.Then James Bruce, the Scottish explorer, went to look for the source and identified Lake Jana as the source of the Blue Nile in 1770. And later, John Spike, the British explorer, went to search for the source of another branch of the Nile. He is credited with the identification of Lake Victoria and Ripon Falls as the source of the White Nile.Now the people along the Nile love it so much that they are trying all their best to protect it while they make good use of it for agriculture irrigation, industry and their daily life.课时训练4Section ⅢLearning about Language & Using LanguageⅠ.品句填词1．We were very busy so there was no time to go

German battleship Bismarck,the most powerful warship in the world,was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean.Her task：to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.The British had feared such a task.No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower.The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns.She could move at 30 nautical miles(海里)an hour.She was believed to be unsinkable.However,the British had to sink her.They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck.On May 24,the Hood found the Bismarck.It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see.His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies,but to stay away from a fight with British warships.The battle didn’t last long.The Bismarck’s first torpedo(鱼雷)hit the Hood,which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.But in the fight,the Bismarck was slightly damaged.Her commander decided to run for repairs to France,which had at that time been taken by the Germans.The British force followed her.However,because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog,they lost sight of her.For two days,every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck,but with no success.Finally,she was sighted by a plane from Ireland.Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her,the British fired at her from the air.The Bismarck was hit.On the morning of May 27,the last battle was fought.Four British ships fired on the Bismarck,and she was finally sunk.1．The Bismarck sailed into the Atlantic Ocean ________.A．to sink the HoodB．to gain control of FranceC．to cut off American supplies to BritainD．to stop British warships reaching Germany2．Many people believed that the Bismarck could not be defeated because she ________.A．was fast and powerfulB．had more men on boardC．was under Luetjens commandD．had bigger guns than other

seriouslyD．the Bismarck succeeded in keeping away from theBritish4．Luetjens tried to sail to France in order to ________.A．have the ship repairedB．join the other GermansC．get help from the FrenchD．get away from the British5．Which of the following is the immediate cause of the sinking of the Bismarck?

Despite(尽管) the distance the islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States. The islands were all formed by volcanic eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years.On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating directions. They don’t use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world. They use the mauka and makai system. Mauka means “mountain”. The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands. Makai means “the sea”. The islands are small and the system is simple. Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea. A typical conversation between a native Hawaiian and a tourist might go as follow.TOURIST: Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is?HAWAIIAN: Well… Let me see! From here it’s two blocks mauka, and then one block makai. You can’t miss it!1. This passage would be most likely to appear in which of the following?A. A novel.B. A collection of stories.C. A women’s magazine.D. A reference book.2. Choose the most suitable title for the article.A.The Big Island.B. Volcanoes.C. Giving Directions in HawaiiD. The Hawaiian Islands.3. Which of the following items does the passage NOT discuss?A. Hawaii’s location.B. How to give directions in Haw aii.C. Volcanoes.D. The climate.4. In Hawaii the mountains are in the center of the islands because .A.of the weatherB.the islands were created by volcanic eruptionsC.of the geological conditionsD.of the islands’ lo cation in the Pacific5. To find your way in Hawaii, you must .A.refer to geographical directionsB.refer to well-known establishmentsC.refer to the earth and the seaD.refer to the location of the mountains and the seaBStatus of Judicial System in the USAIn recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of the judicial system in the United States. Costs are staggering both for the taxpayers and the parties-and the parties have to wait sometimes many years before having their day in court. Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of improving the situation, but as in most branches of government, changes come slowly.One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a backlog. Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his chambers with the parties and their attorneys in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is that judges will spend lesstime on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial when they realize the adequ acy of their claims and their opponents’ evidence. Unfortunately, at least one study has shown that pretrial conferences actually use more judicial time than they save, rarely result in pretrial settlements, and actually result in higher damage settlements.Many states have now established another method, small-claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be disposed of with considerable dispatch. Such proceedings cost the parties almost nothing, In California, for example, the parties must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel. The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading-the parties need to make only a one-sentence statement of their claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff waives any right to a jury trial and the right to appeal the decision.In coming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing effort to remedy a situation which must be remedied if the citizens who have valid claims are going to be have their day in court.6. The pretrial conference, in theory, is supposed to do all of the following except_____.A.narrow the issuesB.cause early settlementC.save judicial timeD.increase settlement cost7. What is the main topic of the passage?A.All states should follow Califo rnia’ s example in using small-claims courts inorder to free judges for other work.B.The legislature needs to formulate fewer laws so that the judiciary can catchup on its older cases.C.Nobody seems to care enough to attempt to find method for making thejudicial system more efficient.D.While there are many problems with the court system, there are viablesuggestions, for improvement.8. The word “parties” means mostly _______.A.jury membersmentatorsC.parties in a lawsuitD.taxpayers9. Which of the following is true about small-claim courts?A.It is possible to have one’s case heard by a jury if he or she is dissatisfiedwith the court’s decision.B.The parties must plead accurately and according to a strict form.C.The decision may not be appealed to a higher court.D.The parties may not present their cases without an attorney’ s help.10. What can we assume from the passage?A.Most people who feel they have been wronged have a ready remedy in courtsof law.B.Many people would like to bring a case to court, but are unable to because ofthe cost and the time required.C.The judicial system in the US is highly acclaimed for its efficiency.D.Pretrial conferences will someday probably have replaced trials completely.CIn today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on 'meat and two vegetables' (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Now things are very different. Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes haveintroduced wholefoods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food 'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精细）, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews（炖菜）and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast. A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth!11．What was Irish food like until quite recently?A. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful12．How has Irish food improved in recent years?A. There are more French restaurants.B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds.D. Food is more expensive13．What is the main reason for this improvement?A. People have more money to spend.B. The development of tourism.C. People have more tastes today.D. Young people dislike traditional food14．How does the passage describe Irish cooking today?A. It is exciting and interesting.B. It is boring and overcooked.C. It is plentiful and simple.D. It is good-looking and tastes bad15．Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.B. Today most Irish people prefer fast-foods to the traditional Irish cooking.C. Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centres.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.DA Tour City ------- PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried (埋藏) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover (发现) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ------- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to weareye-makeup (眼部化装品) .Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii. 16．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcano.B. B.
