If you need to spend time on the road，it’s important to find ways to keep safe on your feet. Don’t suppose it's your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that won’t be much help when you're in the hospital.
Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers aren’t supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字），stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe，especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.
Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Don’t suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue (发出）a ticket if you don’t give drivers enough time to brake.
Cross quickly. Once you’ve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, don’t then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道）of traffic. There’s no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.
21. Who is the text intended for?
A. Drivers. B. Cyclists. C. Police. D. Pedestrians.
22. What does the underlined word “distracted” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Considerate. B. Strange.C. Kind-hearted. D. Absent-minded.
23. In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined?
A. Racing against time with drivers.
B. Following crosswalk signals.
C. Crossing the crosswalk area.
D. Walking outside six lanes.
24. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rules for Traffic Police
B. Tips to Keep Safe on Your Feet
C. Things Every Driver Should Know
D. Signals for Both Pedestrians and Drivers
B At primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks. When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward，we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and “make ends meet”. Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.
Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.
When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it’s almost embarrassing to see her tight “financial policy”，and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.
I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.
25. What did the author learn from her parents?
A. How to become a banker. B. Where to open a savings account. C. Where to choose a money box. D. How to make ends meet.
A. He applied for a credit card.
B. He spent it three times a year. C. He put it in the bank. D. He seldom withdrew it.
A. Reducing her savings.
C. Canceling holiday plans.
28. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Parents，money problems.
C. Children’s saving behavior.B.Students' school performance. D. Children’s financial education.B. Buying things on sales. D. Borrowing money from banks. 26. How did the author manage the student allowance? 27. What reflects Sophie’s tight “financial policy”？
In the past, friendships were greatly limited by time, space and attention； increasing home and workplace mobility has made it even harder to keep social relations over time. Through a combination of user controls, new technologies and changing standards of social behavior, Facebook is freeing us from these limitations, making friendships more accessible, pleasant and diverse than ever before.
First, Facebook allows you to find and rediscover friends and then reminds you of these connections, so that you are less likely to fall out of touch with the long-lost school friend, or the family member in a different country. 'Second, Facebook creates an environment that allows you to interact easily with others ： you can share your photos，videos，links and thoughts with your friends， and respond to what they share in turn. Third, Facebook’s unique technical system helps you to discover your friends，most valuable stories. These technologies allow people to keep and eich friendships that they might otherwise have been unable to keep.
The effect of this is very great. A recent study by Keith Hampton for the Pew Internet and American Life Project discovered that users of social networking websites have larger, more diverse social circles, online and offline. This outcome comes at no cost to one’s closest relationships, which are kept in person and over the phone. Instead, the hour that the average user spends each day socializing on Facebook comes at the expense of less social activities, such as the three or so hours a day the average person spends watching television.
Time may limit our ability to keep social ties, but our desire for social communication is limitless. Just as boats have allowed us to cross oceans and vehicles have allowed us to move mountains, Facebook is a tool that allows us to stay more deeply connected with a larger and more diverse set of friends.
29. What can you do with the help of Facebook according to the text?
A. Protect the environment.
B. Find a new house or workplace.
C. Rediscover long-lost classmates.
D. Change the behavior towards your friends.
30. What will social networking websites do?
A. Increase the diversity of social relations.
B. Share the hours of watching television.
C. Restrict personal friendship.
D. Limit social activities.
31. What is the author's attitude towards Facebook?
A. Worried.B. Doubtful.C. Approving.D. Curious.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat may be carcipogenic(致癌). Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat ? Here are some comments on the website.
Bill (Australia) I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long, unhappy one, denying(拒绝给予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy. We should all enjoy the one life we have ---if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way. So, I won’t change my habit. I am going to have bacon sandwich, glass of wine, burger, can of coke whenever I fell like it.
Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking: I don’t think so. According to the WHO 34,000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat. In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide. That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat. I’ll take the chance.
Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer, it is rather saying that people should vary their diet. People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits. They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.
Van (China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians ( 素食者). So for your health, the environment and future generations, it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude. There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.
32. What if Bill has to change his habit ?
A. He’ll feel unhappy.
C. He’ll go on a diet.
A. Too risky.
B. He’ll live a pleasant life. D. He’ll become a vegetarian. B. Fairly safe. D. Very unhealthy. B. Eating whatever she likes. 33. What does Tim think about eating processed meat ? C. Popular worldwide. A. Caring little about it. 34. What may be Helen a response to WHO’s warning ?
C. Varying the diet and doing exercise. D. Taking a diet without meat.
35. Who have the most similar viewpoints ?
A. Bill and Tim.
B. Tim and Helen. D. Bill and Van. C. Helen and Van.

Harper Lee, whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south, has died at the age of 89.
Until last year, Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend. To Kill a
Moclangbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize, remaining a towering presence in American literature. Another novel, Go Seta Watchman, was controversially published in July 2015 as a "sequel" to Mockingbird, though it was later
confirmed to be Mockingbird first draft.
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success, the author
consistently avoided public attention. Lee had lived foi several years in a nursinS; home near the house in which she had grown up in Mooeville, Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her
famous book. H盯 neighbor for 40 years, Sue Sellers, said, "She was such a private person. All she wanted was privacy, but she didn't get much. There was always somebady following her around."
James Naughtie, BBC Books Editor, commented on the novels ofHarper Lee: "I think she stands, particularly among American readers, as someone who shone a light into a very dark place. She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand. That all changed in the 1960s. So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain."
24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Lee became successful with stories on American south.
B. People owe Lee's success to luck to some degree.
C. Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature.
D. Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies.
25. What does "Maycomb" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. A nursing home. B. Lee's hometown.
C. A fictional place.D. A main character.
26. Which best describes Americans' attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s?
A. Tolerant. B. Unconcerned. C, Sympathetic. D. Dissatisfied.
27. What can we learn from the text?
A, Lee based all her stories on her life.
B. Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans.
C. Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird.
D. Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life.
C
These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: "David Bowie dying is totes tradge : and "When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh ." Or this sentence: "BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight."
What on earth do they mean? Well, "totes" is a short form of "total if Similarly, "tradge" means "tragic" and "emosh" means "emotional". It seems that, far millennials (千禧一代) , typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable.
As you can see, many millennial slangs (俚语) are formed by so-called "totesing"-the systematic abbreviation (缩写 ) of words. The trend might have started with "totally" becoming "totes", but it now has spread to many other English words.
The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than "totesing". "Bae", for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one's romantic partner or, like "sweetheart", for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, "bae" became mainstream. Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melboume University linguist(语言学家 )Rosey Billington doesn't agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones. share the same view. The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots
It isn't simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker's mastery of English
pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.
28. Why do young people like using e-slangs?
A. They are time-consuming.B. They are in fashion.
C. They are complex. D. They are in order.
29. What's the author's purpose of mentioning "Bae" in Paragraph 5?
A. To suppon that totesing is no baby talk.
B. To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.
C. To inform people how it became mainstream.
D. To explain the complex origins of milleruual slangs.
30. Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?
A. Totesing is a loosely organized system.
B. Millennial slangs lower the value of English.
C. It's simply a clever way to reduce the word count.
D. Totes-speak requires a good command of English.
31. What's the best title of the passage?
A. E-slangs Catch on Among YouthB. Linguists Disapprove of Totesing
C. Millennial Slangs Take the Lead D. English Has Greatly Changed D
About l.3 billion years ago, two massive black holes hit each other and formed a new one. The energy set free by the collision created a ripple(波纹) in the space-time structure and spread outward in gravitational waves ( 引力波 ) .
Then, on September 14, 2015, a group of scientists discovered the waves. On February 11, an announcement came from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIOO) in the US that, for the very first time, a gravitational wave was directly observed and recorded. "We discovered gravitational waves. We did it," David Reitze, the director of LIGO, said in the press conference on February 11. "It's exactly what Einstein's theory of general relativity predicted:'
Einstein's 1915 theory re-imagined the framework for the universe. According to Einstein, the framework for the universe-or the space-time structure-is not fixed, but changed by
matter and energy "in a way a heavy sleeper causes a mattress to sag (床垫下凹) , producing the effect we call gravity", explains a New York Times article.
"A disturbance in the universe could cause space-time to become larger, break into pieces and even move up and down, like a mattress shaking when that sleeper rolls over, producing ripples of gravity: gravitational waves," explains the article.
Compared with the other three forces in the universe (electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force), gravity is relatively weak, making gravitational waves hard to discover.
The discovery by LIGO would open a new chapter in astronomy. "Everything else in
astronomy is like the eye," Szabolcs Marka, a Columbia University professor, told The New York Times. "Finally, astronomy grew ears. We never had ears before."
32. What is a gravitational wave according to the text?
A. It's a disturbance in the universe. B. It's the crash of the two black holes.
C. It's a ripple in the space-time structure.D. It's an effect caused by energy.
33. Why is the discovery by LIGO important?
A. It proves Einstein's 1915 theory. B. The waves were hard to discover.
C. The waves changed the universe. D. It reshapes the space-time structure.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. It took LIGO 4 months to confirm the discovery.
B The framework for the universe can be changed
C. One produces gravity because he sleeps heavily
D. There are more than four forces in the universe.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Astronomy calls for more attention.
B. Never before has astronomy achieved much.
C Astronomy is more about what we can hear in space.
D.A better understanding of the universe is made possible.

My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole．Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety．
Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: ― Your son is OK．‖
When I got to the river, I immediately saw the fire truck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine．
I hurried over to him. "You OK?"I asked．
―Yeah," was all he said．But my eyes begged for an explanation. I didn't get it from my son, The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore．
In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son．The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good．
Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home．Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him - but he had precious little to say．The only words he said were,
―What's for supper?"
I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half wanted him to tell me the story．But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep．

The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.
Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.
When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.
The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note：“Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”
However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤) short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.
28. In Charles Czeislers experiment, all the subjects were asked to______.
A. sit in a row and receive the strict tests
B. have their sleep patterns observed all night
C. read a paper book and an iPad at the same time
D. have their blood tested per hour during the trial
29. The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to____________.
A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day
B. fall asleep more easily after reading
C. become less energetic the next morning
D. have a lot more melatonin secretion
30. The special software recently developed can______.
A. remove the blue light from your devices completely
B. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength
C. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading
D. be used in all the e-things widely and safely
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. No e-reading in bed before sleep B. New software for night e-readers
C. Wrong behaviors before bedtime D. No games on iPad in bed
D
A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.
The cost of producing a new - for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at ￡1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new
