Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young. They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin.
In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive（原始的） birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws.
During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
24．What is the text mainly about?
A．Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons.
B． The relatives and enemies of hoatzins.
C．The appearance and living habits of hoatzins.
D．Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.
25．Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that _______ ．
A．they eat a lot like a cow B．they live on river banks
C．they look like young cuckoos D．they have claws on the wings
26．What can we infer about primitive birds from the text?
A．They had four wings like hoatzins. B．They could fly long distances.
C．They had claws to help them climb. D．They had a head with long feathers on the top.
27．Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes?
A．To produce their young. B．To find more food.
C．To keep themselves warm. D．To protect themselves better.

Inventor, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist...Robert Hooke was all these and more. Some say he was the most outstanding experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the course of his work, he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton, and the great architect Christopher Wren.
Hooke's early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of 13, and from there went to Oxford, where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662, at the age of 28, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London—meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating (展示) new experiments at the society's weekly meeting. Hooke accepted the job, even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes. He invented a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (软木塞) under a microscope, he saw honeycomb-like structures. There were cells—the smallest units of life. In fact, it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the box-like cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery (修道院).
Another achievement of Hooke's is his book Micrographia, which introduces the enormous potential of the microscope. It contains fascinating drawings of the thing he saw under the microscope. The book also includes, among other things, ideas on gravity, light and combustion (燃烧) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theoretical frameworks on these phenomena.
28. Why did Hooke accept the job as Curator of Experiments?
A. He liked designing experiments.
B. His family needed his support.
C. His parents couldn't afford his education.
D. He wanted to please some famous scientists.
29.What does the underlined word “pastimes” in Paragraph 3 mean?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A. Jobs. B. Experiments. C. Hobbies. D. Structures.
30. What can we know about Hooke?
A. He went to Oxford in 1645.
B. He was well paid at the Royal Society of London.
C. He made a contribution to medicine.
D. His book Micrographia may have helped Newton.
31. Which word can be used to describe Hooke?
A. Honest. B. Modest. C. Reliable. D. Creative.
D
Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP,标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.
Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country—from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands—are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns and cities just 30 kilometres apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in an RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.
In a 2015 study by the University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered the working class.
However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in an RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength. 
Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He is now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he has learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.
So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.
32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. Only “the Queen’s English” is accepted in the UK.
B. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in an RP accent.
C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.
D. Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen’s English”.
33. What do people think of the Brummie accent?
A. It is the closest to the RP accent.
B. It is spoken by people of the lower class.
C. It is smart and easy to understand.
D. It is favoured by foreign visitors to the UK.
34. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Speaking in regional accents.
B. Speaking in an RP accent.
C. Speaking the Brummie accent.
D. Speaking like Harry Potter.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How much British people value the RP accent.
B. A comparison between different British accents.
C. The influence of regional accents on people’s lives.
D. A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.

Dear Terry,
I’m honored to know that you’ve decided to experience the National Day in my city. I’m also more than pleased to reserve a hotel for you in advance. But I need some details of your travel.
Firstly, when will your flight arrive at the airport? If I’m available then, I will pick you up. Besides, prices of a hotel room range from RMB 299 to 999, so which kind of rooms do you prefer? And more importantly, how many rooms do you exactly need? Only if I figure out all of the questions can I make appropriate reservations for you.
Please give me more detailed information about your schedule. Looking forward to your early coming.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua

It has been pretty dark and cloudy out there for some of us, particularly in the south of Britain. In fact, it's been like this since yesterday, which is not pleasant at all. For the rest of today and for many of us, it' Il be raining from time to time and there will be a bit of sunshine around two. The best of the weather by far, is across northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland today, and that's how it's going to stay. All of the clouds were got right now have come out of France and moved across the English Channel. So, the further north you are, the better the weather will be. And the air over us right now is slightly cooler than the previous week. The warmth has moved into central and eastern parts of Europe. let's see what's happening for the rest of the afternoon. We've got rain across southern England, which will be very slowly moving northwards. Apart from the clouds and the feel that cold, because there is still relatively mild and wet weather, 12 degrees isn't going to warm air coming from the European continent.
