A
The London Underground (The Tube)
The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.
It’s almost necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd price of £4.80 (Zone1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster Card, a single fare is £2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.
On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.
Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.
The Bus System
Outside the center of London, Tube Stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.
Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs £1.50 if people only use buses, and the fare is capped at £4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless card users.
Light Rail and Trains
You can think of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Tramlink as extensions of the Underground, Travelcards purchased at Tube Stations in East London. The DLR connects with a number of the other train services (including connections at Tower Hill or Bank Stations) and can be used to reach Greenwich, Canary Wharf, and Stratford.
River Services
There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.
National Rail
Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HS1.
21. When taking the London Underground, you _______.
A. should buy tickets with cash
B. can go to any place in London quickly
C. can save more money with a single ticket
D. are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days
22. If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass _______.
A. London Bridge B. Stratford C. Canary Wharf D. Tower Hill
23. To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use _______.
A. the London Underground B. the Bus System
C. the DLR and the Tramlink D. National Rail
B
Life affects friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.
When we were children, we had best friends. No matter what happened we were still friends. We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we got older, memories fade, faces blur (变得模糊), and even friend’s names from childhood are forgotten.
Do you have a question about friendship? Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly? Perhaps you will see that you can’t control others. If someone wants to be your friend, it is their choice. All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them. Then you wish them well when they leave.
You can talk to old timers and they will tell you that life is full of incredible joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day becomes a memory and the pain will be gone. Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go. Sometimes when they go it will hurt, but you will be okay with it. It’s the way life works, after all.
24. What can we learn about friendship, according to the text?
A. Friendship can not be easily affected by one’s family.
B. Friends are always around us and will never go away.
C. Friends in childhood are sometimes forgotten by us.
D. Friends in childhood are the best no matter what happens.

B. Forget them and make new friends who have a lot in common with us.

D. Do our best to control them and make them listen to us.
26. What the old timers and seniors in the last paragraph tell you about friendship will _______.
A. make you have no good friends
B. help you have healthy understanding of friendship
C. remind you to always help your friends
D. lead you to be a powerful man

Twenty-five young musicians from around the world have come to California to train and perform this month. They will take part in an international program called iPalpiti. The name occurs from the Italian word for heartbeats.
Eduard Schmieder is the program’s conductor and musical director. Schmieder and his wife started the program in 1997 with help from violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin.
This year, the musicians come from 19 countries, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Israel and Italy. Schmieder notes some of the musicians are from countries that are at war with each other. And they are sitting next to each other, and they become friends, He says through their music and friendship, they are making the world more peaceful.
The musicians taking part in the program range in age from their late teens to their 30s. Schmieder said they include winners of major music competitions. Peter Rainer is a violin player from Germany. He serves as concertmaster, the link between the musicians and conductor. “It’s so great that you have so many sensitive musicians. They all are very alert and awake and listen to each other and it’s a lot of fun.” Turkish viola player Can Sakul says the international group works well together. “The experience is a cultural as well as a musical exchange,” said Russian violinist Semyon Promoe. “Everyone has their own opinion of music, how to play every composition. It’s very interesting to interact with everybody, to play together and to create one opinion for everybody.”
This year, the festival focuses on music from the 1600s to the 1900s. But cello player Franciaco Vila of Ecuador said the music has no geographic boundaries.
Vila added that the musicians get to know more about each other as they perform great music. “It’s interesting to see where we intersect (交集) and how many things we have in common. And also the music world is quite small, so you’re only one person away from knowing everyone else” Can Sakul said the musicians who have taken part in the training and festival make up a big family. He added that he is proud to be a part of it.
28. When was the program founded?
A. This month. B. From 1600s C. From late teens. D. In 1997.
29. Mentioning that “Some musicians are from countries that are at war with each other.”, Schmieder intends to present that _______.
A. musicians continue to fight in competitions B. music makes the world more harmonious
C. musicians are from different countries D. the world is not peaceful
30. What does the underlined word “sensitive” probably mean?
A. Flexible. B. Artificial. C. Brilliant. D. Energetic.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Musicians have much in common. B. A national music program.
C. Music has no geographic boundaries. D. Music competitions at war.
D
Police recently caught the suspected Golden State Killer using a tool they could only have dreamed of decades ago, when a shocking series of murders shook California: a database filled with people’s genetic data.
Police used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives who matched genetic material taken from an old crime scene, then worked backward to identify and catch 72-year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.
GEDmatch’s 950, 000 users voluntarily upload and share their genetic information, making it accessible to others who share their own data — including law enforcement (执法). More than a dozen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can be indirectly tracked through the combination of their DNA and the publicly available family history,” says Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist at Harvard Medical School.
Data sent to commercial companies like 23andMe, which has over 5 million customers, is much tougher for outsiders to access, but the case has still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy.
Although many genetic-testing companies have been asked to cooperate with legal investigations, and clearly warn customers of this possibility, not all requests are honored. “23andMe has never given customer information to law-enforcement officials,” a company representative told TIME.
The risks of keeping such sensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists; for example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage (保险项目), Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be working. One is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a 2008 law that protects consumers from employment and insurance discrimination related to genetics. As long as that’s the case, Green says, the good of genetic tests outweighs the bad.
Sharon Zehe, a lawyer for the department of laboratory medicine and pathology at the Mayo Clinic, takes a more cautious approach. “Family tree services can be fun, but make sure you are using a reputable organization that has strong privacy policies in place,” she says. “Genetic data is biologically as important as a fingerprint.”
32. Who is the Golden State Killer?
A. Robert Green. B. Joseph James De Angelo.
C. The author. D. Sharon Zehe.
33. What drives the users to upload their genetic data?
A. The Police’s force. B. Their relatives’ advice.
C. The boss’s order. D. Their own willingness.
34. Who might misuse customers’ genetic data?
A. The police. B. GEDmatch. C. Insurance companies. D. 23andMe.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Genetic data is equal to a fingerprint.
B. A 72-year-old killer was put into prison.
C. Murders causes concern for genetic privacy.
D. Genetic information is shared on the Internet.

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。选项中两项为多余选项。
The concept of “the body” is closely related to the ideas of “illness”, and “health”. 36 The main reasons for the differences are genetic, and the fact that people’s bodies change as they age. However, a huge range of research indicates that there are social factors too.
Poorer people are more likely to eat “unhealthy” foods, to smoke cigarettes and to be employed in repetitive physically, difficult work. 37 That is to say the physical shapes of bodies are strongly influenced by social factors.
These social factors are also closely linked to emotional wellbeing. People with low or no incomes are more likely to have mental health problems. 38 For example, certain people with mental health issues maybe at risk of becoming homeless, just as a person who is homeless may have an increased risk of illnesses such as depression.
39 Bodies are young or old, short or tall, big or small, weak or strong. Whether these judgments matter and whether they are positive or negative depends on the cultural and historical contexts. The culture, and media, of different societies promote every different valuation of body shapes.  40 Currently, in rich societies the idea of slimness is highly valued, but historically this was different. It is easy for people to feel undervalued because of factors they have no power to change, for example, their age and height. Equally, they can feel pressured into making changes to their appearance when there is a choice, which in some cases can lead to an unhealthy interest in weight loss. Therefore, sociologists are suggesting that we should not just view bodies and minds in biological terms, but also in social terms.
A. There are other types of social factors too.
B. All of these factors affect the condition of a person’s health.
C. Their housing conditions and neighborhoods need to be improved.
D. What is considered as attractive or ugly, normal or abnormal varies greatly.
E. All of us exist in “bodies” of different shapes, heights, colours and physical abilities.
F. Social factors in general play an important role in the development of people’s body conditions.
G. It is not clear, however, whether the situation of being poor causes mental illness, or whether it is the other way around.

Nowadays, it seems like everything is going digital. From news articles and recipes to yoga classes, you can find almost everything on the Internet. Many people find this way of life more 61 `
(convenience). Perhaps that’s why some people choose 62 (shop) for their clothes online.
With the click of a button, you can order anything you want, and have it 63 (deliver) directly to your front door. For someone with a busy lifestyle, this seems ideal. Firstly, online shopping can be far less stressful 64 hitting the high street shops. There are no huge crowds of people
65 boringly long queues. With online shopping, it’s just you and your computer. Secondly, online 66 (store) don’t have opening time and closing time. If you want to, you can even place an online shopping order at three o’clock in the morning!
However, there are also several cons. With online shopping, you can’t try before you buy, which
67 (be) a clear disadvantage. When your new clothes arrive, you may find they don’t fit very
68 (perfect). It’s always 69 (annoy) when a dress is a little too big, or when sleeves are awkwardly short. Sometimes, the clothes are not 70 you are expecting. A piece of clothing might look great in photos online, but quite different in real life.

China and Western country may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals. But when it comes to pigs, we somehow reach an agreement that pigs are lazy, ugly, stupidly and shameless. Neither of these words describing pigs are exactly positive. Moreover, the truth is what pigs have some good qualities. And there’s probably no good time to clear their names than now, with the arrival of the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival, which fell February 5 this year. According to a paper publishing in 2017, pigs can tell between those who treat them well or those who don’t. Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep it in mind — their intelligence, cuteness and patience.
