•London Eye
London Eye is 135 meters high and has become one of the world's tallest observation wheels (观景摩天轮).It has 32 capsules(密闭舱) and carries about 10,000 visitors every day. You can travel in complete safety. And you can see up to 40 kilometers away in all directions from each capsule.
Because of the way the capsules are hung, it provides a full 360- degree panorama (全景)
when you are at the top of the wheel.
•Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is Queen Elizabeth H 's official residence (寝宫).The State Rooms(国事厅）in it have been open to the public for the Summer Opening since 1993. At first, the Summer Opening was considered a way to raise money for repairing Buckingham Palace, but it became so popular that the Queen has continued to let visitors enjoy it every summer. The Queen is not at Buckingham Palace when it is open to the public--she goes to one of her country residences.
If you are visiting at a different time of the year, go to see the Changing of the Guard(换岗仪式).

The British Museum was open to the public in 1753 and it continues to be free since then. More than 7 million objects are kept in the British Museum, and it would probably take a week to see everything! Don't think the British Museum is full of works of art from old England.

At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon (优惠券) if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.
"It's been such a surprise," said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. "It has given us one more motivation to finish our food. "
The measure is part of a national "eat-up" campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).
Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).
The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.
"The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle," said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.
"I'm glad that we've reduced food waste since the 'eat-up' campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service（服务） and food standard（标准） on campuses." said Tao.
( )8. From Paragraph l,we know that the students will get a coupon___________ .
A. when they eat school food B. after they exchange gifts
C. if they finish all their food D. if they collect the waste
( )9. The underlined word "motivation" in Paragraph 2 means in Chinese.
A. 动力 B. 机会 C. 试验 D. 条件
( )10. The "eat-up" campaign is carried out on campuses because ________.
A. students get a good education B. schools offer small gifts
C. students waste too much food D. school food is more delicious
( )11. The purpose of the campaign is mainly to ________ .
A. improve the school food standard B. encourage a greener and healthier lifestyle
C. receive attention from the society D. further improve the service in universities
D
Rubbish sorting (分类) probably doesn't sound like much fun. But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might even learn something while you play it——Meet Sortee.
Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects (物体) and their meanings.
The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label （标签) next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.
The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases (增长) to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.
There are 400 objects in total and more than 100 bins in the game. The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get. It's a bit like working in a rubbish recycling（回收利用) center, but it has no bad smell.
You can download the free game from Apple's app store (苹果软件下载中心), but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.
( )12. The passage is probably taken from .
A. a story book B. a newspaper C. a comic book D. a novel book
( )13. Which of the following can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. You can play the full game for free. B. You can play the full game easily.
C. There are only 2 bins in each level. D. There are over 40 levels in the game.
( )14. The writer of the passage thinks .
A. the rule of the game is quite difficult
B. rubbish sorting in the game is boring
C. the rubbish smells good in a rubbish recycling center
D. the game can help people learn about rubbish sorting
( )15. What's the best title of the passage?
A. A mobile game B. Rubbish sorting
C. Apple's app store D. A recycling center

Being a volunteer of going green
Hello, everyone. I’m Li Ming. I want to be a volunteer of going green. I’m glad to make a speech here.
I’m kind to others. I’m willing to help others any time. I know the importance of good manners. In my free time, I like travelling, reading and surfing on the Internet. I have ever organized a charity show to raise money for WWF. And I used to work as a volunteer for the sports meeting.
Earth is our only home. I think it’s our duty for everyone to protect the environment. If we work together, we can make the world a better place.
If I can be a volunteer, I can do many things for our environment. I can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. I can separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled. I must try my best to make a big difference to the Earth.
Thank you for listening!
