7.Have you ever heard of tandem?The word itself means a bicycle built with saddles for two riders sitting one behind the other.However,when we learn a foreign language,we can find a native speaker
who wishes to learn our languages.So we both get a chance to practice.This is the tandem exchange.
For example,I'm a native English speaker but I want to learn Spanish.So I go to a tandem meeting.There I can find a native Spanish speaker who wants to improve his or her English.Then we become"tandem"partners.I speak English with my Spanish tandem partner for about an hour and help him or her with some English problems.After that,we speak Spanish for an hour,too.The idea of this language exchange is great because we can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class.This is the main reason why we can choose the tandem exchange as a way to learn a new language.
In the tandem exchange,we can also read passages with our partner.This way we can not only practice our pronunciation but also understand the meaning of difficult words in other languages.We can then have conversations about the passages in order to practice our speaking and listening.
So I advise you to participate in the tandem exchange.If there's no foreigner around you,online tandem exchange is also a good choice.Join in the tandem exchange and enjoy the opportunity of learning new languages and understanding the cultures of other countries!

54.Which of the following is a tandem bicycle?A

55.What is the main reason for choosing the tandem exchange?B
A.We can make more friends.
B.We can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class.
C.We can improve our pronunciation.
D.We can learn Spanish in the tandem exchange.
56.Which language skill is NOT practiced in the tandem exchange according to the passage?B
A.Speaking. 
B.Writing. 
C.Reading. 
D.Listening.
57.The underlined phrase"participate in"means"C".
A.take in      
B.make up      
C.take part in     
D.give up.

Traditionally, business people would get to know each other over a round of golf. But road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred way of networking recently.

“When you play golf with somebody you have to decide if you‟re going to beat them, or let thembeat you,” says Peter Murray, a chairman of the NLA centre. “If they‟re your customers and youdon‟t want to beat them, sometimes you might have to make some kind of cheating in order to lose. That seems to me not a good way of doing things.”

Group cycling, and especially long-distance riding, is a shared experience, Mr Murray says. Riders often work together and help each other out, taking turns to be at the front so that the riders in their group can save almost a third of the effort needed to travel at the same speed.

How someone rides a bike can give you a real insight into what a person is like, says Jean-Jacques Lorraine, founding director of Morrow Lorraine, a team member of Cycle to Cannes. “Some riders are very single-minded, others more collaborative; some are skillful, others an open book.”“If I walk into a meeting and somebody says „I‟ve done Cycle to Cannes‟ , it‟s a done deal really,” says Mr Lorraine.

Mr Mottram, CEO of Rapha, believes it is easier to get to know people by cycling than in other situations. “T here is an easy environment about conversations on a bike.” Mr Lorraine makes the point more directly: “I feel open and honest to others. I often find I‟m saying things on a bike which I wouldn‟t normally say, and equally I‟ve been confided (吐露秘密) in when I wasn‟t expecting it.”

Why do cycle rides lend riders so well to networking? “Getting a quick lunch or drink after work doesn‟t give you long enough to get to know someone,” Mr. Murray says. He believes long ridesget people together. “A younger rider can be cycling along with a boss and help him in some wayand you get a reversal of the relationship. This changes the relationship when they are off theride too.”

Perhaps the main reason why cycling is a good way to network is that it‟s a passion (激情) and away of life. “Getting out on the bike is what we‟re all dreaming of doing while we‟re sitting at our computers,” says Mr Mottram. And a shared passion is a fantastic way to start any relationship.

1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______.

A.golf is a sport full of cheating

B.cycling is less popular than golf

C.deciding on winners in golf is hard

D.golf might also have disadvantages

2.In Paragraph 4, Mr Lorraine thinks that ______.

A.getting a quick lunch after work helps get people together

B.telling what a person is really like by cycling is a way of life

C.riders need to volunteer to be at the front to save their energy

D.it‟s much easier for people to make a deal if they are all riders

3.Which of the following is TRUE about cycling?

A.Businessmen used to prefer cycling to golf.

B.Cycling is a good way to get to know people.

C.Group cycling is always a long-distance riding.

D.It‟s not acceptable for the riders to talk on the bike.

4.What could be the best title of the passage?

A.Advantages and Disadvantages of Cycling.

B.Two Good Ways of Networking.

C.Cycling Is the New Golf.

D.Cycling Develops Fast.

16.If you are not happy with China's high Internet fees (费用) and slow speed,you are not alone.So is Premier Li Keqiang.On April 14,he said in a meeting that the government should speed up the Internet and lower the fees.
"The first question people ask at a new place is‘Is there WI-FI'because Internet service fees are so high,"said Premier Li.According to a recent survey by CCTV,the average cost(平均费用) of 1GB mobile Internet data per month(每月) in China is 100Yuan,while it is only 60Yuan in the US and 40in Japan.
However,high prices don't necessarily mean good service.The average Internet speed in China was 4.25Mbps(兆比特每秒)in 2014.South Korea had the fastest average Internet speed-25.3Mbps.People can download a 1GB movie within 6minutes in South Koreas,but in China it would take half an hour.
To improve Internet services,the key is to build more fiber(光纤) networks.Through them we can send text,pictures and videos globally(全球地) in less than a second(秒),which offer high speed Internet.Besides,the lack of (缺少)market competition is another problem.Having more operators(运营商)besides China Unicom and China Telecom may lower the prices.

53.Why do people always ask for WI-FI at a new place in China?D
A.Because they can't use Internet without WI-FI.
B.Because they can communicate with their families.
C.Because they want to download movies.
D.Because Internet service fees are too high.
54.In 2014,D had the fastest average Internet speed.
A.China       
B.USA        
C.Japan        
D.South Korea
55.What is the key to improve Internet services?B
A.To increase Internet service fees.
B.To build more fiber networks.
C.To learn from South Korea.
D.To make the government know the situation.
