When the 2024 Summer Olympic Games kicked ff in Paris, the city was trying its best t bst its breathtaking factrs. The pening ceremny wuldn’t take place in a stadium, but utside n the River Seine. Fr the parade f Natins, bats carrying the participating teams wuld pass by rughly 300,000 audiences gathering n the dck.
Bathed in the myth and memry, the Seine is the lifebld f the city develping n its banks, which was called “the main street” by Naplen. Parisian landmarks are n prud display n its banks. S imprtant is it t the city’s existence that building numbers are linked t the river. Fr Parisians, there’s a strng histrical and emtinal attachment t the river frm their inner minds.
Frm its surce, the Seine flws 483 miles t reach the sea, with the capital sitting nearly in the middle. Its flwing curse is changed by cntinuus flds, but the city never sinks bearing tugh waves and severe flds. In the early 18th century, the Seine became s crwded with cmmercial bat traffic that Naplen launched a canal prject. The netwrk f canals nt nly eased the water traffic jam, but als brught fresh drinking water t the capital, since water frm the Seine was unfit fr cnsumptin, causing epidemics.
Fr several thusand years, life was lived n the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place fr wrk and leisure. Husewives washed clthes, dckers unladed gds, merchants sld their items, and citizens enjyed the pleasure frm sunbathing and swimming. But a different apprach t urban planning in the 20th century began t separate peple frm the river. In the 1960s, highways were cnstructed directly n the edge f the water. The dck was even transfrmed int parking lts. Till 2013, the bad situatin did get well again, the mtrway n the left bank replaced by pedestrians’ path. Much t peple’s delight, cyclists and walkers returned t the dck, enjying new facilities such as climbing walls and flating gardens. A riverside park n the right bank’s mtrway fllwed in the 2016. “We’re nw trying t recnnect and rebuild the Seine, bringing life back t it.” says Pierre Rabadan in charge f the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.

A. It was held in the city’s largest stadium.
B. The participating teams appeared in bats.
C. All the audiences gathered n different dcks.
D. Many superstars gave their live perfrmances.

C. Parisians have strng feelings abut it.
D. It witnessed the natin’s prsperity n its sides.
6. What benefit did the canal netwrk bring t Parisians?
A. It reduced the water pllutin.
B. It intrduced safe drinking water.
C. It relieved the Seine’s severe flds.

I cme frm Perth, a quiet twn in Sctland, and I haven’t seen much f the wrld. I’ve always wanted t visit America. Last year I wrte t Princetn, a very famus university here and asked if I culd cme and study American Literature. I never thught they wuld say yes — but they did, and nw here I am!

That was the wrst mment fr me. I felt lnely far away frm hme. Althugh the British and Americans speak the same language, there are still great differences between them.

A new high-speed train called T-flight is being develped in Datng, Shanxi. T-Flight is an ultra-high-speed maglev (超高速磁悬浮) train, representing a majr breakthrugh in China’s high-speed transprtatin technlgy.
In a shrt-track test, T-Flight achieved a recrd speed f 623 km/h, traveling faster than the previus glbal fastest perating train speed (581 km/h by Japan’s MLX01 maglev). Engineers aim t further increase its speed t 2,000 km/h in the future. If cmmercialized, it culd shrten the travel time between Wuhan and Beijing frm the current 4 hurs t just 30 minutes.
The reasn why T-flight is s fast is that it mves within a lw-vacuum (低真空) tube-a special tube with almst n air. With less air, there is less air resistance. Meanwhile, maglev technlgy makes sure that the train and the track keep frm tuching, helping the train mve faster. Mre imprtantly, it reduces energy use by abut 30% cmpared t rdinary trains.
The new technlgy will ensure the safety f passengers when they take the high-speed train. Besides, T-flight will prvide the sense f cmfrt t the passengers. As fr the ticket prices in the future, the cst will fr sure be lwer with the industry grwing larger and techniques becming mre mature.
The T-flight will help build a “ne-hur ecnmic circle” amng key cities in China. It will wrk with ther high-speed trains and planes t make a bigger travel netwrk. What amazed us mst was that this kind f new high-speed train passed a test run, bringing it clser t public use.
12. Hw des paragraph 2 develp?
A. By giving examples.B. By listing numbers.
C. By asking questins.D. By prviding plans.
13. What helps the T-flight mve faster besides maglev technlgy?
A. A special fuel.B. Mre energy use.
C. A lw-vacuum tube.D. Mre pwerful wheels.
14. What change will T-flight bring?
A. Price fall.B. Cmfrt cncern.
C. Safety prblems.D. Energy shrtage.
15. Which wrd best describe the authr’s attitude t T-flight?
A. Dubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Critical.D. Psitive.

In my life, there is a persn wh has influenced me significantly. It is my cusin wh has the same age as me. His ptimistic attitude twards life always inspires me.
When I was little, my parents always asked me t shut at my cusin whenever I talked t him.
At first such an embarrassing situatin cnfused me, but as I grew up, I was aware that it was because he had nly incmplete ear since he was brught t the wrld. Time flying t his age f six, his parents decided t have a surgen fix his ear fr fear that kids wuld laugh at him when he went t schl. The surgery appeared successful, but it did nt fix the ear cmpletely. It made my heart hurt every time I lked at the scar in his ear.
One day when I was playing in the park with my cusin when a by passed us by. He rared n purpse, “Hi! What happened t yur ear? Hw can a persn like yu just cme ut as yu wish? Yu shuld g where yu shuld have stayed quickly.” Then the by laughed maliciusly. I lked at him furiusly, great anger verwhelming me. Hw dare a stranger d this at all! It was at that mment that I felt my hair standing n end. Having realized my anger wuld burst ut, my cusin uttered a wrd instantly, “I had my ear tested befre and n ne has been scared away by my ear. Maybe yu are t weak t bear it.” On hearing these wrds, the by left with his face turning red. I was greatly surprised at my cusin’s calmness. Never did I think that he culd face the situatin s calmly. I asked him cautiusly, “Brther, that by was t rude t bear, but why were yu nt angry at all?”
