While I went sightseeing in London, I visited the London Underground. Like most tourists, I was very interested in it as it is the 1. (old)system in the world. It is also very complex.

(compare) to the last line that was constructed in 1977. when 4. (carriage) first ran in these passages, there was lots 5. smoke and noise. I think it must have been horrible and damp down there! Another problem was that there were a dozen different lines, 6. were not linked. This 7.(make) the system not user-friendly, but now the different lines have been joined.

For thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects.
Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. As a result, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.
In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets.
Although in recent years plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed , for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.
1.With the passage of time, glass _________.
A. is regarded as transparent
B. is no longer seen as decoration
C. is used to make things look pleasant
D. is widely used to replace steel in making containers
2.Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?
A. The war blocked the way of glass import.
B. They refused to use the European glass.
C. The glass made in Europe was out of date.
D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.
3. By telling the legend, the author wants to _________.
A. prove that the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass
B. support that the Americans were as clever as the Romans
C. give some interesting information about hard glass
D. provide a historical event concerned with hard glass
4.New uses of glass are being developed on the ground that _________.
A. glass is not as safe as plastics
B. glass is not as strong and durable as plastics
C. glass is easily obtainable and inexpensive
D. glass is more and more widely used

A tailgate party is a social event held on and around the open tailgate of a vehicle. Tailgating, which originated in the United States, often involves consuming alcoholic drinks and frilling food. Tailgate parties usually occur in the parking lots at stadiums, before and occasionally after games and concerts. People attending such a party are said to be tailgating. Many people participate even if their vehicles do not have tailgates.
The idea for eating out of the back of a car may have started in 1866 with Charles Goodnight, a Texas farmer. He noticed that the cowboys he employed needed a way to eat on the road, so he transformed a U. S. Army wagon(马车) into a mobile kitchen. There, hungry workers could eat, relax, and socialize after a long day of working.
Nowadays, people tailgate for lots of reasons, everything from college football games to Jimmy Buffet concerts. In schools and communities, some athletic departments, coaches and parents of student athletes rely on post-game tailgating parties to build community and support for their program and team.
What people consider essentials(必备)for tailgating spreads isn’t the same across the country. Different areas of the country have their own favorite foods for tailgating. While foods like burgers and chips may be common everywhere, some areas have specialties. For instance, those in Louisiana may consider jambalaya a tailgating must, while those in the Midwest simply can’t go without brats. And the West Coast? Don’t be surprised to see grilled fish or pasta. While dishes may differ from area to area, one thing is the same across the country: beer.
1.Why did Charles Goodnight invent a mobile kitchen?
A. To show off his cooking skills
B. To build a canteen
C. To celebrate the army’s victory
D. To attract more cowboys
2.What can we learn about tailgate parties?
A. They are usually held before concerts
B. They are mainly held for cowboys
C. They are also occasions to make friends
D. They are meant for football teams
3.What do people think a must for all tailgate parties?
A. Beer B. Sports
C. Music D. Vehicles with tailgates
4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The spread of tailgating
B. The popularity of jambalaya
C. Favorite foods on tailgate parties
D. Necessary equipment for tailgating

Climate change will bring greater extremes in weather, the Government’s chief scientific adviser has warned as he called for action to deal with global warming. Professor Sir John Beddington says the effects of climate change on the weather are already being felt in the UK.
“In a sense we have moved from the idea of global warming to the idea of climate change, and that is rather important. Temperatures are increasing and there are more changes in our weather,” he said.
Even if effective action is taken now on global warming, he says there will be great climate change over the next 20 to 25 years as a result of past global problems.
“We have serious problems in the world --- in 12 years there will be another billion people on the planet and we have big issues of food security, water security and energy security, and many people will start to be living in cities,” he said. “These are serious problem; climate change is just going to make it worse.”
He said there were some “uncertainties” in the analysis of climate and climate change. “But those uncertainties are completely unimportant in comparison（比较）with a great deal of evidence that shows it is happening in the sort of ways climate models would expect,” he said. “For example, the Arctic is heating up faster than other parts of the world --- this is exactly what the climate scientists are predicting.”
Sir John’s views were made as Britain experienced freezing cold weather and snow, with thousands of homes across the UK without power. England and Wales experienced 10 separate flooding events between April and December last year after widespread drought gave way to the wettest summer in a century, with unusually high rainfall totals and river levels around the country.
1.Which of the following is NOT one of the things that Sir John says?
A. We need more action to deal with global warming.
B. Climate change will make some big problems worse.
C. Climate change will bring greater extremes in weather.
D. England will experience more extremes in weather than Wales.
2.How long will it be before our planet has another billion people?
A. 25 years. B. 20 years
C. 12 years. D. 10 years.
3.What is Sir John’s attitude towards the Climate scientists’ prediction?
A. Puzzled. B. Trusting.
C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
4.In recent years, which of the following has the UK NOT experienced?
A. Widespread drought.
B. Many flooding events.
C. Freezing cold weather.
D. Several big earthquakes.
5.What is the main purpose of this report?
A. To call for effective action on climate change.
B. To introduce Professor Sir John and his opinions.
C. To prove that the UK has experienced a series of disasters.
D. To show how correct the climate scientists’ predictions are.

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything on the land —— animals and plants.
One day while walking through the woods, the old man found a cocoon of a butterfly. He took it home. A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and cut the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then came out easily.
But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, or they would be smaller. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled （枯萎）wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was nature’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any difficulties, it would cripple (无能) us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.
1.The old man cut the cocoon in order to ____.
A. kill the butterfly
B. play with the butterfly
C. make the butterfly come out easily
D. have the butterfly
2.The reason why the butterfly could not fly is that _____.
A. the old man broke its wings
B. it was too small
C. newly born butterflies can’t fly
D. it came out of its cocoon without enough struggle
3.What can we know from the passage?
A. That old man was fond of everything except the butterfly.
B. It was the old man that stopped the butterfly flying.
C. The old man realized his mistake.
D. It’s not hard for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon.
4.What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage?
A .We should help others.
B. Without others' help we can still succeed.
C. Struggles in our life can make us stronger.
D. Butterflies can fly without people’s help.
