【题目】London’s transport services offer you a special experience of the city. Here’s a round-up of the transport choices available to you.
◆ London Underground
There are 11 colour-coded Underground lines. Services run regularly from around 5:00 to 00:30 (Sunday 07:30 to 23:30).
Visit tfl.gov.uk/tube for more information.
Tip:
Always stand on the right when using the escalators (电动扶梯) at Tube stations. It can get hot and busy on the Tube during peak travel times, so you may prefer to travel outside these hours.
◆ Buses
A cheap and easy way to travel around London. They generally run from 5:00 to 00:30. Night buses operate on many major routes from around midnight to 05:00, and some operate a 24-hour service.
It is not possible to pay for your London bus fare in cash. Instead you can pay with a Visitor Oyster card, Oyster card, Travelcard or UK-issued contactless payment card. A single bus journey is ￡1.50 with an Oyster card or UK-issued contactless payment card.
To help you get home, if you don’t have enough credit (存款) on your Oyster card, you will be able to make one more bus journey.
After this you will need to add the credit on your card before you use it again. If your contactless payment card has been issued outside the UK, please check tfl.gov.uk/contactless before you use your card to travel on our bus services.
For more information visit tfl.gov.uk/buses.
Tip:
Some bus routes are especially good for sightseeing --- try routes 9, 14, 15 and 22. The New Routemaster bus featured in the James Bond film Skyfall and runs on routes 9, 11, 24, 38 and 390.

【题目】Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?
As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.
According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.
The ant-works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
The cricket-fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.
The snail-lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
【1】People with the character of the snail would like to ________.
A. enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future
B. put work before everything else
C. live a luxury life at all costs
D. take the risk of investing a large sum of money

A. society B. our family
C. education D. money

C. The snail. D. None of the above.

【题目】Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technologic I shift.
It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars y there doesn't seem to be a dear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one yet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.
Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes unwilling to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.
This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.
When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education. 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.
While there's reason to believe that interest in 8elf-driving cars is going up across the hoard, a person's age will have little to Ho with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
【1】Which of the following can be the influence of a new technology, according to the passage?
A. It often reads to great inventions in other related fields.
B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.
C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.
D.It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.
【2】Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?
A. It helps with their moving.
B. It saves their money and energy.
C. It adds to the safety of their travel.
D. It makes their life more interesting
【3】What is likely to affect one's attitude toward the driverless car?
A. The length of their driving experience.
B. The amount of training they received.
C. The location of their living place.
D. The field of their special interest.

【题目】An Unexpected Storm
This is a story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It happened two and a half years ago. It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm. For Moscow, it was very unusual, and nobody predicted this storm before it happened.
It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home alone watching TV. The windows and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot.
Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I wanted to close the window and came near. I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind. I tried to close the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break.
I stood up and tried to close the window again, but it was not possible because the wind was now stronger, and it was pushing the window open. I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window. It worked.
When I looked outside, the tree in front of my window was flat on the ground, and there was strong thunder and lightning. I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs, which took about 10 seconds. A sportsman would have envied my speed.
When I finished, I looked outside. It was terrible, and I understood how people are helpless compared to the power of nature.
Suddenly, the wind stopped, and it began to hail(下冰雹). The ice was the size of grapes. After 10 minutes, everything stopped, and the sun shone as before. It was strange. A few minutes later, the phone began to ring every five minutes. It was my friends or relatives. We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm.
Many trees died because of the storm. For a few days, the people helped clean parks and gardens. Some people's cars were damaged by trees falling on them. After one week, it was history already. This is my story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It shows us that we are children of nature, and we must respect her.
【1】How did the weather change according to the passage?
A. Sunny and hot-thunder and lightning-windy-hail-sunny.
B. Sunny and hot-windy-hail-thunder and lightning-sunny.
C. Sunny and hot-thunder and lightning-hail-windy-sunny.
D. Sunny and hot-windy-thunder and lightning-hail-sunny.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. I did all the things in a flash.
B. I could run faster than a sportsman.
C. I could stay at home on a stormy day.
D. I was admired by the sportsman for my speed.
【3】What did the author learn from the unexpected storm?
A. Everything will be history.
B. We should respect nature.
C. We should help each other.
D. The disaster will be predicted.
