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. In this impressive art gallery you can find works by masters such as Van Gogh, da Vinci, Botticelli, Constable, Renoir, Titian and Stubbs. Some exhibitions require tickets.‎ 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. The gallery's restaurants offer wonderful views across the city. Some exhibitions require tickets.‎ Coca-Cola London Eye The Coca-Cola London Eye is a major feature of London's skyline. It has some of London's best views from its 32 capsules, each weighing 10 tonnes and holding up to ‎ 25 people. Climb aboard for a breathtaking experience, with an unforgettable view of more than 55 of London's most famous landmarks — all in just 30 minutes!‎ ‎ ‎ Madame Tussauds At Madame Tussauds, you'll come face-to-face with some of the world's most famous faces. From Shakespeare to Lady Gaga you'll meet influential figures from show business, sport, politics and even royalty. Strike a pose with Usain Bolt, get close to One Direction or receive a once-in-a-lifetime audience with Her Majesty the Queen.‎ ‎1. What do the British Museum and the National Gallery have in common?‎ A. Both have chargeable exhibitions.‎ B. Both are on the banks of the Thames.‎ C. Both have vast spaces and special shapes.‎ D. Both exhibit modern and contemporary art.‎ ‎2.

In Madame Tussauds, visitors can _____.‎ A. enjoy Shakespeare's works B. talk to some famous people C. watch Lady Gaga's performance D. see figures of many influential people B ‎ Next month, about 30,000 runners will take to the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, for one of the world’s oldest and most famous races, the Boston Marathon. Nearly half the competitors in the 26.2-mile race will be women. But for most of the race’s 119-year history, only men were officially allowed to compete.‎ A woman named Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb helped change that in 1966, when she secretly ran the marathon and finished ahead of most of the men. “Word went out around the world that a woman had done the impossible,” says Gibb. “It changed the way men thought about women.”‎ Gibb saw her first Boston Marathon in 1964, while running through her neighborhood. She was inspired to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained to build the energy and strength she’d need to finish. But when she sent in an application for the 1966 race, it was turned down.‎ At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1.5 miles. Many people didn’t think women were physically capable of running longer distances. Running a marathon was also seen as “unladylike.”‎ But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to let go of her dream. She came up with a plan to run the race anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon wearing her brother’s shorts and a sweatshirt to hide the fact that she was a woman.‎ Gibb hid in the bushes near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the pack. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes — faster than two thirds of the male runners.‎ Gibb opened the door for future female long-distance runners. In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still prohibited (禁止) women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.‎ ‎4. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the thoughts that women couldn’t _____.‎ A. win a long-distance race B. take the place of men C. complete a marathon D. compete with men ‎5. What happened to Gibb when she was found running the 1966 Boston Marathon?‎ A. She ran back to the starting line.‎ B. She got support from the crowd.‎ C. She was driven away from the race.‎ D. She took off her brother’s sweatshirt.‎ ‎6. Which of the following can best describe Gibb?‎ A. Easy-going. ‎ B. Soft-hearted.‎ C. Strong-willed. ‎ D. Open-minded.‎ ‎7. What’s probably the best title for the text?‎ A. Leading a new life B. Running into history C. Long-distance runners D. The world’s oldest race C From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.‎ ‎“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.‎ A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. ‎ The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the UStechnology already destroys more jobs than it creates.‎ But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. ‎ ‎“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.‎ A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.‎ ‎“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.‎ ‎8. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.‎ A. people will face many difficulties B. people will take up more creative jobs C. artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives D. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces ‎9. According to the report, _____.‎ A. people won't necessarily lose jobs B. big companies will face fewer challenges C. small companies will win against big companies D. most people will become interested in technology ‎10. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?‎ A. Mixed. B. Worried.‎ C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.‎ ‎11. Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.‎ A. there will be enough jobs for people B. things will change a lot in a few years C. many people will become unemployed D. technology will totally change future jobs 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 teens can stay fit Any type of regular, physical activity can improve your fitness and your health. 12 ‎ Exercise should be a regular part of your day, like brushing your teeth, eating and sleeping. It can be in gym class, joining a sports team, or working out on your own. Keep the following tips in mind:‎ ‎ 13 A good attitude is important. Find an activity that you think is fun. You are more likely to stick with it if you choose something you like. A lot of people find it's more fun to exercise with someone else, so see if you can find a friend or family member to be active with you.‎ ‎ Take it one step at a time. 14 For example, walk or ride your bike to school. Get on or off the bus several blocks away and walk the rest of the way. Use the stairs instead of taking the elevator.‎ ‎ Get your heart pumping (跳动). Whatever you choose, make sure it includes aerobic (有氧的) activity that makes you breathe harder and increases your heart rate. This is the best type of exercise because it increases your fitness level and makes your heart work better. 15 Examples of aerobic activities are basketball, running, or swimming.‎ ‎ Don’t forget to warm up with some easy exercises or stretching (拉伸) before you do any physical activity. 16 It is also important to stretch out after you exercise to cool down your muscles.‎ A.
