FLC was founded in 1997 in France B Off-Peak fares are cheaper tickets for traveling on trains that are less busy, offering good value for money. The tickets may require you to travel at specific times of day, days of the week or on a specific route. Where there is more than one Off-Peak fare for a journey, the cheaper fare is called Super Off-Peak.‎ You can buy Off-Peak tickets any time before you travel, either online or at a local station. The travel restrictions for your Off-Peak ticket will depend on the journey you are making. The tickets must be used on the date shown on the ticket. For Off-Peak return tickets, related journeys must be made on the date shown on your ticket as well.‎ Children aged five to fifteen get a 50% discount for all Off-Peak fares. Up to 2 children under 5 years can travel free with each fare paying adult. Railcard holders get l/3 off all Standard Class Off-Peak fares. Senior, and disabled Railcard holders also get l/3 off all First Class Off Peak fares. Please note that minimum fares and time restrictions may apply to tickets bought with a Railcard.‎ If you plan on a train trip with friends or your family, you may get group travel discounts.

Their test is quicker than DNA analysis techniques currently used by law enforcement.‎ DNA testing is commonly used for identification because DNA is unique to each individual. However, environmental and chemical processes can degrade DNA,‎ ‎ limiting its usefulness over time. Protein (蛋白质)in hair，on the other hand, is more stable than DNA but can also have variations (变异体）that may be unique to the individual.‎ ‎“Our analysis process can be used universally,” says Ms. Huang. “One of our samples (样本) even included dyed hair and the test was 100 per cent accurate. The test was able to distinguish East Asians, Caucasians and South Asians.”‎ Dr. Beauchemin says she has got in touch with law enforcement agencies about using the new technology. She is also planning to collect more hair samples and continue her research with a goal of finding where exactly in the world hair sample is from, to look for more races and determine specific age.‎ ‎“We are in a very similar place with protein-based identification to where DNA testing was during the early days of development,” said chemist Brad Hart. “Thus method will be a game-hanger, and while we’ve made a lot of progress toward improving it, there are steps to go before this new technique is able to reach its full potential.” ‎ A、 What’s the main purpose of the text? A. To analyze crime scenes. B. To distinguish different races. C. To show the usefulness of DNA testing. D. To introduce a new identification method.‎ B、 Which will be the most useful in identifying a person according to Brad Hart? A. Chemical materials. B. Protein in hair. C. DNA variations. D. Blood sample.‎ C、 What’s the advantage of the protein-based identification over DNA testing? A. Stability. B. Popularity. C. Security. D. Convenience.‎ D、 What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text? A. DNA testing will soon reach its full potential. B. Protein-based identification remains to be improved. C. Protein-based identification has replaced DNA testing. D. DNA testing develops as rapidly as protein-based identification.‎ D In June 2014, Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three-year-old Victoria Wilcher, who suffered facial scarring, was kicked out of a KFC because she was a frightening customer. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.‎ Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that she has seen a shift towards less responsibility in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”‎ Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “You’ve a strict editor and you’ve to meet your targets. And some young journalists are inexperienced and will not do those checks. So much news reported online happens online. There is no need ‎ to get out and knock on someone’s door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”‎ Another journalist says, “More clicks equal more money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”‎ In a Feb. 2015 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, “Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. The rumor becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity.” ‎ And, despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times’ public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It’s extremely important to question and to prove before publication.” Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated. In the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click, regardless of the advantage of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, it’s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.” ‎ A、 According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _________. A. clicks matter a lot B. resources are limited C. budgets are tight D. journalists lack experience B、 What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Lies can’t sell without an atom of truth. B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind. C. You can hear rumors, but you can’t know them. D. A lie, repeated often enough, will end up as truth.‎ C、 What’s Margaret Sullivan’s attitude towards false news online? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.‎ D、 What is the best title of the passage? A. Spread of false stories. B. Causes of online false news. C. Duties of journalists. D. A craze to get clicks.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2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。‎ Swimming at the beach or in a backyard pool are well-known Australian summer activities.
