big city likeLondongradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light.So how about taking a historical evening walk and touchingsome of the nicest areas in centralLondon?Lets get started.6:30 pm The walk starts on theMillenniumBridge.On the bridge,watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.TheMillenniumBridgehas been featured in many London-based films,includingHarry Potter,and the filmGuardians of the Galaxy.7:30 pm Its getting dark.A fifteen-minute walk northwest fromSt Pauls Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market.During the evenings,you find a lot of restaurants around the market.This is an excellent time to get your dinner.9:00 pm The next stop isLondonBridge.This is about 6 minutes walk from the Borough Market.As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of“LondonBridgeis Falling Down”,you get lost again in history.Why does the song sayLondonBridgeis falling and who is the fair lady?During theLondoncity fire of 1897,LondonBridgeserved an important role in fire control.It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side ofLondon.11:30 pm Londonnever sleeps;its a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around.About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges isTrafalgar Square,our next stop.12:00 am Its been a beautiful evening,hasnt it?1.Where can you visit aGuardians of the Galaxyfilming location?A.In theSt Pauls Cathedral.B.On theMillenniumBridge.C.In the Borough Market.D.On the Golden Jubilee Bridges.2.What can be learned about the Borough Market?A.It is far fromLondonBridge.B.It is related to a famous song.C.It is an ideal place for dinner.D.It is a modern open-air market.3.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To showLondons color1 ful culture.B.To introduce the scenery inLondon.C.To ask people

tradition has continued,with the implied message:usethisand exercise willbe yours.And thats part of the problem,says Dr.Lieberman,a professor of Harvard University.There isnt one“best”anything to achieve fitness.Besides,people understand exercise is good for them.Knowledge about exercise still doesnt motivate.Before you can answer why,it helps to look at history.Before the Industrial Revolution,people fetched water and walked up stairs because they had to.But then technology made life and work easier.Exercise has become something that people have to carve out time for.“Its a fundamental instinct to avoid physical activity when its neither necessary nor rewarding,”he says.It would seem like being healthy would qualify as necessary,but a doctors prescription to exercise“can make it like taking cod liver oil,”Lieberman says.“Sometimes it works,but more often than not,it doesnt.And its still coming across as an order,and“not having a heart attack in five years is not an immediate reward,”says Dr.Beth Frates,assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.People might not want to exercise because its never been enjoyable.Most of us probably have memories of gym class,not being picked for a team,or being in a fitness center thats filled with in-shape people.The majority dont feel excited.They feel that exercise isnt for them,but it can be.Coaching people in an empowering and motivating way can work much better than ordering someone to exercise.It starts with an expanded definition of what counts as exercise,and an injection of whats rarely used to describe exercise,but is certainly allowed:namely,fun.4.What does the underlined“this”in paragraph 1 refer to?A.The magazine.B.The tradition.C.The equipment.D.The message.5.What can we infer about technology?A.It improves life quality.B.It saves peoples time.C.It drives social progress.D.It makes exercise less likely.6.Why does the author mention“cod liver oil”in paragraph 4?A.To attach importance to health.B.To present a doctors prescription.C.To explain exercise is considered inessential.D.To introduce the latest medical application.7.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Exercise should be made more joyful.B.Its more fun to work out with others.C.We may encounter bad workout experiences.D.Orders work well to motivate people to exercise.C Jose Hernandez made his dream of becoming an astronaut a reality and he did so despite unbelievable difficulties“I was workingin a field near Stockton,and I heard on my radio that Franklin Chang-Diaz had been selected for the Astronaut Corps,said Jose,who was a senior in high school at the timed was already interested in science and engineering,Jose remembered,but that was the moment I said,I want to fly in space.As one of four children in a migrant（移民）farming family from Mexico,Jose-who didnt learn English until he was 12 years old-spent much of his childhood traveling with his family from Mexico to southern California each March,then working northward to the Stockton area by November,picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route.They would then return to Mexico for Christmas and start the cycle all over again in the spring.Some kids might think it would be fun to travel like that,“Jose laughed,but we had to work”.After graduating from high school,Jose was admitted into the University of the Pacific,In 1987,he accepted a full-time job with Lawrence National Laboratory.In 2001,Jose joinedtheJohnson Space Center,where he came face-to-face with Franklin Chang-Diaz.“We actually had common experiences asimilar upbringing,the same language issues.That built up my confidence.Any barriers that existed,he had already overcome them.”Jose smiled.Now its my tum!,“NASA rejected me not once,not twice,not three times but 11 times.It wasnt until the 12th time that I got selected,he said.Jose was selected as part of the 19th class of astronauts in 2004.He circled the globe 217 times but remains a down to Earth guy.Jose Hernandez received the 2016 National Hispanic Hero Award and he continues his long history in the field of engineering and space.8.What made Jose

trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays,I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland.After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland,I realized that the country,known as the land of fire and ice,during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you cant miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer.Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise(乐园)for all those who want to see the northern lights,experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal(地热的)baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car.Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns.As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper(野营车).Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving,money and gave us the chance tobe always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities(设备).For us,as we slept in a camper,it was easier.But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times ofhotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland.However,Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses.They have even no time to complain about the weather in December.All they care about is Christmas.They love to decorate their houses,sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.12.Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A.Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B.Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C.Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.D.Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.13.What did the author think of the rented camper?A.It was not only practical but also economical.B.It was convenient but cost them more money.C.It provided the best chance to see the new country.D.It was much faster than other public transport.14.What does the last paragraph imply?A.The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.B.The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.C.December is the coldest month of the year.D.The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.15.What does this passage most probably come from?A.A textbook B.A scientific report C.A travel magazine D.A news report 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
