Many of London's top attractions are free, making them affordable places to learn about some culture. Whether you prefer history or modern art, you'll find it at one of these must-visit spots. British Museum The world-famous British Museum exhibits the works of man from prehistoric to modern times, from around the world. The most interesting and exciting parts include the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures ( 雕 塑 ) and the mummies in the Ancient Egypt collection. Some exhibitions require tickets. National Gallery The greatest and most beautiful building of Trafalgar Square, London's National Gallery is a vast space filled with Western European paintings from the 13th to the 19th centuries.

Tate Modern Sitting on the banks of the Thames is the Tate Modern, Britain's national museum of modern and contemporary (当代的) art. Its unique shape is due to it being a power station before.

From Shakespeare to Lady Gaga you'll meet influential figures from show business, sport, politics and even royalty.

Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari （东非游猎）and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania’s minister of water and wildlife development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I toured the school, I was shocked. The leaky (漏的) roofs turned the dirt floors into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn’t keep out the heat, cold or bugs (小昆虫). The school was in need of all material goods, but the kids possessed great human spirit. It broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 schoolchildren every day. The free lunch program has eased a major problem the youngsters face. I know a good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always stressed the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and businesspeople. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education. It’s amazing that something as simple as a nutritious lunch can change and enrich so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can inspire them to go all the way through college and lead a movement that transforms their country. 24. What is the correct order of the following events? a.“I” founded “my” first company. b.“I” founded Kids of Kilimanjaro. c.“I” read “my” first Tarzan comic. d.“I” moved to San Francisco. A. c, d, a, b B．a, d, c, b C. c, a, d, b D. a, c, d, b 25. What is the main purpose of Kids of Kilimanjaro? A. To make sure the African kids are mentally healthy. B. To spread knowledge among the African kids. C. To protect the African kids from hunger. D. To build new schools for the African kids. 26. Why did the author go to Tanzania to celebrate his 60th birthday? A. He hoped to lead a movement that would transform his country. B. He was concerned about the Africans’ miserable life. C. He wanted to get an idea of the area’s wildlife. D. He was curious about what Africa was like. 27. The author believes education is important because __________. A. his parents always stressed the importance of education B. he paid his own way through college by teaching English C. a good education contributes to his success D. he’s trying to realize his American dream C China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive. 28. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today? A. Because they are traditional and safe. B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive. C. Because they are colorful and available. D. Because they are fast and environment friendly. 29. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________. A. to ride it for fun B. to use it for transport C. to experience local culture D. to improve his riding skills 30. How did the author feel about his street crossing？ A. It was boring. B. It was difficult. C. It was lively. D. It was wonderful. 31. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding. C. The author was praised by the other bikers. D. The author took great pleasure in biking. D Two thieves came to a house to steal something, they dug a hole in the wall of the house. There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl (爬 行 ) into the house. “Look! In comes one,” she said to the man in the house. He was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside, “She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didn’t believe him, so he said, “Let us two try to crawl into the house together.” At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house, too. The woman saw the mice and shouted, “In come two, catch them!” The two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said, “You saw them come in but where are they? I will catch them tonight.” The two thieves started running away at once. The two thieves wanted to make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before. The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came before the house. The man and the woman were ploughing in their fields. The rein (缰绳) broke and the woman came home for a rope. She saw two men selling sweet potatoes and wanted to buy some. She picked out two which looked like mice. At the time the man couldn’t wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up. The woman showed the sweet potatoes to the man and said, “How they look like the two of last night.” The man said, “I asked you to fetch a rope, why don’t you hurry for it?” The two thieves ran away very quickly without their sweet potatoes. 32. The two thieves failed to steal anything from the house because ___________. A. they were frightened by what they had heard in the house B. they were found out C. they didn’t work together well with each other D. mice stopped them from doing so 33. Why did the man ask the woman to fetch a rope? A. To catch the two thieves B. To catch the mice C. To catch the potatoes D. To take the place of the broken one 34. From the last paragraph, we know that ___________. A. the two thieves were famous selling sweet potatoes B. the two thieves didn’t know that they were not found at all C. the woman pretended to know nothing about the two thieves and made fun of them D. the woman recognized the two thieves 35.

A. the two thieves B. the mice C. nothing D. the ropes 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 How to Feel Attractive and Be Confident of Yourself Feeling attractive and confident has little to do with your appearance and everything to do with how you feel about yourself on the inside.
