She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security (安全). Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.‎ Introduction A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.‎ Basic Security Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles (车座).‎ Locks Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that has ‎ been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.‎ Marking Security marking your bike can act as a deterrent to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to recognize your bicycle.‎ Registration There are a number of security companies who will help mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.‎ Finally Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.‎ ‎21.Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?‎ A. Locks. B. Marking. C. Registration. D. Basic Security.‎ ‎22. The underlined phrase “act as a deterrent to a thief” means ______.‎ A. help you recognize your bike         B. help the police find your bicycle C. stop someone stealing your bicycle    D. stop you worrying about your bike ‎23.The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle __________.‎ A. in the bike shop and your computer B. in a police station and security company.‎ C. in a security company and your university.‎ D. by yourself and in a security company.‎ ‎24.The main purpose of the article is __________.‎ ‎ A. to tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolen.‎ ‎ B. to suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safe.‎ ‎ C. to give advice on where to buy a good lock.‎ ‎ D. to say why you shouldn’t keep your bicycle in a quiet place.‎ B My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.‎ ‎ I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”‎ ‎ “What is it?” I asked.‎ ‎ “To talk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in.”‎ ‎ “But we can't do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.‎ ‎ And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change to how they sometimes don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”‎ ‎25. I wished to get out of the house because __________.‎ ‎ A. I was eager to have fun with my best friend ‎ B. I found nobody to share my feelings with ‎ ‎ C. I wanted to escape from the dark house ‎ D. I planned to tell my friend about my trouble ‎26. Grandpa was happy to see me because __________.‎ ‎ A. he could discuss the problem with me B. he had not seen me for a long time ‎ ‎ C. he was afraid of darkness D. he felt quite lonely ‎27. What can be inferred from the passage? ‎ ‎ A. The grandchild was eager to leave. B. They would have more chats. ‎ ‎ C. The lights would go out again. D. It would no longer be dark.‎ C It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn’t fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who’s accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease.‎ During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.‎ ‎“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”‎ One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize in 2015, TCM became even more famous internationally.‎ However, all these achievements in TCM don’t mean that it’s problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.‎ Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.‎ ‎“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.‎ ‎28. The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to .‎ A. introduce the film to readers B. show TCM is increasingly popular C. arouse readers’ interest in Western medicine D. prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries ‎29. We can learn from the passage that .‎ A. TCM is not exact in curing diseases B. 10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by locals C. 86 countries have cooperated with China on TCM D. Tu Youyou’s success contributes to the popularity of TCM ‎ ‎30. According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should .‎ A. combine western medicine ‎ B. face no challenge at all C. give an exact description of its effects D. complete with western medicine ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A report on TCM B. Opinions about TCM C. Traditional healing spreads D. TCM & Western Medicine D Whatever happened to the familiar scene from the past of children playing“tag (捉人游戏)”in the streets while their parents chatted with the neighbors over the garden fence? This picture is fading (逐渐消失) fast today, as children are now leaving the streets in favor of a screen.‎ Several organizations are trying to change this situation. One of these organizations is Play England, which aims to improve opportunities for children to play outside. A leading figure in the campaign is 50-year-old Adrian Voce, who has ‎ childhood memories of days spent in the “Big Woods”near his house with his older brothers.“We were given a packed lunch and told not to talk to strangers. I can still remember wandering in and out of each others' houses,”he says.‎ However, it is not only the children that Mr Voce and his organization have to convince. In many cases the parents themselves block his efforts. A survey in 2014 found that 85 percent of adults agreed that it was important for children to be able to play safely in the road or street where they live. However, many of them were not prepared to park their cars an extra 50 meters away from their homes.‎ Mr Voce's attempts to encourage children to play outside include the organization of campaigns like National Playday. Hundreds of communities all over the country take part in this effort, yet it can take a lot of people to give children a taste of what it is like to play in the streets. On one street in Aldershot last year there were five policemen, three community support officers, a traffic management crew, a closed-circuit television van, and a team of“play workers”.‎ Society today has changed to such an extent that children do not feel safe on the streets and their parents no longer feel comfortable about letting them play there. It is not only the appeal (吸引力) of computers and video games that has driven children inside, but also the presence of traffic, crime, and violent young people. However, thanks to the efforts of people like Adrian Voce, it may not be too late to turn back the clock.‎ ‎32. What kind of feeling does Adrian Voce show when he looks back on his childhood?‎ A. Regret. B. Shame. C. Delight. D. Surprise.‎ ‎33. Why does the author say the parents themselves block Mr. Voce's efforts?‎ A. They don't want their children to be outside.‎ B. They are worried about the safety of the streets.‎ C. They are not optimistic about Mr. Voce's campaign.‎ D. They won't make the street safer for their children to play in.‎ ‎34. What can we learn about National Playday?‎ A. It has rapidly spread to other countries.‎ B. A lot of people are needed to make it work.‎ C. It has not lived up to the organizers' expectations.‎ D. It aims to call on parents to play with their children.‎ ‎35. What is the author's attitude towards children playing in the streets?‎ A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Shocked.‎ 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。‎ Time is on your side How frequently do you say “I don't have time”? Quite often, I guess. Every time we say those words, they make us feel weak and out of control. You are in control of your hours and your life. __36___‎ I know it's not as easy as simply turning off the TV. But here are two steps that will help you take back control and get time on your side.‎ ‎★ __37___‎ Be honest: do you spend an hour or two visiting Weixin and QQ every day?

All these things can add up over time more than you believe!‎ A. Identify your blocks.‎ B. But you are likely wasting a lot of it!‎ C. I really don't have enough time to do it.‎ D.

There are some small much cheaper ones, but they’re not well-equipped. Most young travelers like to stay in those. They’re usually about $10 a day. You can find cheap hotels like that on the Internet, and cheap air fares.‎ M: Good idea. I don’t have much money. Oh, and one more thing. I know that it’s a really big country, but I don’t have a car. So is flying the best way to travel around?‎ W: It is the fastest, but not the cheapest. Trains are much cheaper. There’s a really good train service to most places.‎ ‎(Text 10)‎ While I was out for a slow run one morning, I saw my friend Hank’s father sitting alone on a bench beside the pavement.

Finally, I asked him, “Can you teach me to paint?” ‎ He was surprised at first and then agreed happily.‎ Now, every other day, I go to learn how to paint from him. We paint a lot and talk a lot.
