It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there. In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars werent allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighbourhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!However, more than thirty years later, the“white bike” is back in town this time with a computer chip(芯片) to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert(插入) a special card. The new “white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.24.

Celebrations also took place in Liverpool. Birmingham, Lake District, Durham, Edinburgh. Leeds and Newcastle.Academic Dr. Wu Kegang said that the Chinese New Year event in Britain “is now bigger than ever and it is growing every year.”When Wu arrived in Britain 26 years ago from Guangdong, south China, the first thing he noticed was that Chinese New Year was celebrated mainly in towns - 7 -and cities with big Chinese communities. “You would go to London Chinatown and join your countrymen to celebrate, or to Chinatowns in places like Liverpool and Manchester for what were events almost exclusively held for Chinese people,” Wu recalled.“Now it is so different, and we are seeing local communities all over the country taking part alongside their own Chinese populations,” he said. “It is clear to me that the celebrations will continue to grow in Britain.

Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language， ”said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的)， ” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirtyfour. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world， ”explained the scientists.32. The main subject talked about in this passage is _.A. language learning and maths study- 9 -B. science on learning a second languageC. that language can help improve brain powerD. mans ability of learning a second language33. The underlined word “bilinguals” probably means _.A. active language learnersB. second language learners C. researchers on language learningD. people who can speak two languages34. We may know from the scientific findings that _.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density isB. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effects on peoples brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time35. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _.A. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageB. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsC. youd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second languageD. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips on listening in English examsListening is an important part for middle school students in English exams. - 10 -And quite a few students find it difficult to deal with it.
