10、ne of the most exciting and interesting international cities to visit is London, England. Here is a look at four free things to do during a vacation to London.Visit the Trafalgar SquareBuilt more than 200 years ago, Trafalgar Square is a popular gathering place for locals and travelers, too. The are
11、a is close to good shopping and dining opportunities, and there are usually some sorts of public events or celebrations going on there during most weekends. Wander Along the ThamesVisitors wanting to see some great architecture, attractions and views should spend an afternoon walking along the River
12、 Thames. The best place to start is at the world-famous London Bridge crossing over the river and you can walk all the way to Westminster Bridge a short distance away. Travelers doing this will find themselves passing by a great many historic buildings.Explore the Local MarketsWhile purchasing items
13、 at any of the open markets in London is not necessarily free, walking through them to view the merchants , their products and the other shoppers is of great fun. Some of the popular open markets in London worth visiting include Spitafields Market, Portobello Road Market and Leadenhall Market.Visit
14、the BritishMuseumOne of the top museums in the entire United Kingdom can be found in London, and it charges no admission for entry. This museum is so highly regarded that it is not only popular with locals and tourists, it is also seen as a major and valuable scholarly resource.21. What can we know
15、about the Trafalgar Square? A. It borders the Thames. B. From here visitors can easily do some shopping. C. There are many factories around it. D. It has a history of over three centuries.22.

16、oducts.C. Great restaurants. D. Some old trees.23. We learn from the text that . A. London Bridge is far from Westminster Bridge B. Portobello Road Market is located in Manchester C. visitors should pay some money to enter the British Museum D. the British Museum is a major and valuable scholarly re
17、source BSince so much written language we see today comes from a glowing screen, language has begun to change through our interaction with technology. Social media and the Internet have had a rapid and great effect on the English language, and not necessarily for the better. More and more people hav
18、e found themselves writing in pieces of words and using unclear acronyms(单词首字母) both in written and spoken language.How many times have you typed “LOL” in response to a humorous message? Referred to someone as your “BFF”? Exclaimed, “OMG!” during a particularly shocking event? Social media has affec
19、ted the words we use in our everyday life. Abbreviations and acronyms commonly known as “text talk” have made their way into both spoken and written language. These are becoming increasingly popular as people struggle for brief expressions to meet word limits on social media like Weibo and Twitter.
20、In addition, the speed of the Internet means language is changing faster than ever. You no longer have to be published through physical and traditional means to bring word trends to public attention.Many people believe the overuse of these new terms is a passing trend, and nobody will be using them
21、in just a couple of decades. With the change of language, older terms will surely disappear and fall out of style, and newer and more Internet language will take their place.But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks the contrary. In 2011, a lot of Internet terms including, “LOL,” “BPB,” “OMD,” and “B
22、FF” were added to the dictionary, making these acronyms official parts of the English language. According to the dictionary writers, these terms arent going anywhere anytime soon.The words you use in everyday life are a reflection of yourself; this is especially true on the Internet with the lack of
23、 interaction in real life. With the Internet and social media rapidly getting popular, soon your words may be all you have left. Make them good ones.24. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Social Media and the English Language B. The Use of New Internet Language C. The Internet and Social Me
24、diaD. The Change of the Internet and English25. What is one reason for peoples use of acronyms? A. The decrease of physical and traditional books B. Peoples need for quick response to different messages C. The lack of peoples interaction with technologies D. Peoples need to meet word limits on socia
25、l media26. The “new terms” are considered to be part of a passing trend because_ . A. they are not published in a traditional way B. they are not used as formal language C. theyll be replaced by even newer ones D. they are not supported by dictionary writers27. The writer of the passage thinks that
26、Internet languages _. A. have positive influence B. should be properly used C. are getting more popularD. are useless for interaction CThere was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier: “Paper or plastic?” Well, which t
27、ype of bag would you choose?While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind p
28、aper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It take
29、s about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% le
30、ss energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to
31、 pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.Theres no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we dont seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their pr
32、oduction also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”28. The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to_. A. introduce po
33、ints for discussion B. tell readers how to save money C. express the authors doubtsD. show the kindness of the cashier29. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags_. A. take more time to break down B. require less energy to recycle C. need more water to produce D. have less influence on forests30. The
34、underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”. A. shared B. put forward C. discussed D. given up 31. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask? A. Paper or cloth? B. A new bag or your own one ? C. A small bag or big one?D. Paper or plastic?DIts always exciting
35、 to think about the future and what kind of technology might exist in years to come. But what if that future is closer than you think? The name Magic Leap is starting to spread across the Internet, and for a good reason. The Magic Leap technology company in the US has been working on something new a
36、nd exciting, keeping it so secret that even the people working on the project have been hidden from the media. But recently they have started to release more information, and it seems like the future of computing is about to change dramatically. Magic Leaps preview shows the possibility of a classro
37、om where you can interact with a miniature 3-D man and watch animals floating in front of your eyes. You could come face to face with fierce creatures like tigers and sharks, and more might be possible very soon.The company hopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality comput
38、ing. This means that the way we interact with computers could change completely, and so could the gaming industry. Imagine a game in which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you
39、jump as things come, flying at you. Rio Caraeff, the companys chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “the world becomes your screen”. All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floati
40、ng in the hands of its user, a virtual reality pet that the user can interact with. Exciting to think about, no? It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large

42、ust discovered a way to mix reality and virtual reality computing. C. The company keeps updating the media on its progress. D.

47、attractive title or something else that draws you away from your work. _37_Addiction to social media is closely related to our general addiction to the Internet. Everyone is always on their phones. _38_ As a result, when I get to work, I dont have enough attention and energy to put toward the task.
48、If this sounds like you, then your productivity has suffered because of the way you use the Internet._39_ So we should learn to live with it. The only way to stop the Internet from occupying all your time and concentration is to disconnect. When you disconnect, youll get your attention back and work
49、 productively. Thus, when working on a challenging task, keep your phone out of reach.

70、iddle school students have picked up a bad habit -cheating in examinations. There are three main reasons. To start with, schools have given students too many examinations, some of which are too difficult. Besides, some students are not diligent and they dont work hard at their lessons. More time is
71、wasted playing games or surfing the Internet. Therefore, they dont have enough time to prepare for the exams. Moreover, quite a few students have to do so to satisfy their parents and teachers. In my opinion, cheating in exams should be forbidden because it not only goes against the school rules but also does great harm to students. No pains, no gains. We students are supposed to be honest and hardworking . Only in this way can we improve our study and make progress. Most importantly, our teachers should offer fewer examinations and severely punish those who cheat in the examinations14
