11、pular gathering place for locals and travelers, too. The area 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
12、 and views should spend an afternoon walking along the River 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 histor
13、ic buildings.Explore the Local MarketsWhile purchasing items 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
14、Market, Portobello Road Market and Leadenhall Market.Visit the British MuseumOne 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

17、 British Museum is a major and valuable scholarly resource B Since 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
18、 necessarily for the better. More and more people have 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
19、a particularly shocking event? Social media has affected 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
20、 word limits on social media like Weibo and Twitter. 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 ter
21、ms is a passing trend, and nobody will be using them 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
22、Internet terms including, “LOL,” “BPB,” “OMD,” and “BFF” 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; thi
23、s is especially true on the Internet with the lack of 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
24、 New Internet LanguageC. The Internet and Social MediaD. The Change of the Internet and English25. What is one reason for peoples use of acronyms?A. The decrease of physical and traditional booksB. Peoples need for quick response to different messagesC. The lack of peoples interaction with technolog
25、iesD. Peoples need to meet word limits on social media26. The “new terms” are considered to be part of a passing trend because_ .A. they are not published in a traditional wayB. they are not used as formal languageC. theyll be replaced by even newer ones D. they are not supported by dictionary write
26、rs27. The writer of the passage thinks that Internet languages _.A. have positive influenceB. should be properly used C. are getting more popularD. are useless for interactionCThere was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the c
27、ashier: “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type 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
28、. However, the producing process behind paper 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 infl
29、uence on forests is very serious. It takes 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
30、. Research shows it requires about 98% less 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 discourag
31、e the use of plastic bags. People have to 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
32、 are a better choice, but still, their production 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
33、Paragraph 1 are used to_.A. introduce points for discussion B. tell readers how to save moneyC. express the authors doubts D. show the kindness of the cashier29. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags_.A. take more time to break down B. require less energy to recycleC. need more water to produce D.
34、have less influence on forests30. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A. shared B. put forward C. discussed D. abandoned 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.
35、Paper or plastic?DITS always exciting 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
36、 has been working on something new and 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
37、 shows the possibility of a classroom 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
38、 reality and virtual reality computing. 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
39、 world where movies will make you 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 vi
40、deo shows a small elephant floating 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 at
41、tracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums of money in the project hoping to see it become a reality.32Which of the following is TRUE about the Magic Leap technology company?A. The company is working on new technology that could improve the future of
42、computing.B. The company has just discovered a way to mix reality and virtual reality computing.C. The company keeps updating the media on its progress.D.
