A

Do you like reading books? The British do．In fact，a recent survey showed that reading is a most popular pastime among British adults．Yet British libraries have been getting fewer and fewer visitors for the last 20 years，so just what is going on?

Reading as a pastime is in good health in the UK，but how we read is changing hugely．One of the reasons for British libraries having fewer visitors is that books can now be so cheap to buy．Sales of books in the UK are always relatively healthy．They even go up during an economic downturn because people choose to stay in with a book

rather than go out to a restaurant．However，now we are right in the heart of a reading revolution．E-books and their digital reading devices，audio books，multimedia books：we read in different ways now，using new technologies．But never mind the how，let’s look at what the British like to read．Here are a few of the most popular genres (体裁)． Fantasy

The tradition of British fantasy is still alive and kicking．Everyone’s heard of J．K．Rowling and the humorous Terry Pratchett．You might also have heard of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy，too，as the first book was made into the film The Golden Compass，starring Nicole Kidman Chick Lit

Chick lit refers to books that are written about and for modern women．Titles in this genre are usually about complicated love lives，modern working life and trying to remain healthy．These books usually always contain humour or a feel-good factor． Crime

The UK is known for its“detective fiction”and“murder mysteries．”A couple of the most famous British authors in this genre are of course Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie．Yet there are contemporary British authors of crime fiction who are also popular．

Celebrity (Auto)biographies

It seems that every minor celebrity has written a book these days．Many of their books are“kiss and tell，”i．e．they’re of interest to readers only because of the secrets they reveal about other famous people．Even so，this genre is popular because celebrity culture is well-developed in the UK．

Is the book dead? As you can see from the above，the book’s alive and well，so don’t call in Sherlock Holmes just yet． 21．Why do fewer people go to British library? A．Books are not as cheap as before．

B．People would rather go to restaurant than library．

C．The economic downturn influences people’s interest in books．

D．The way of reading has changed．

22．Which kind of book may mention how to keep fit? A．Fantasy B．Chick Lit C．Crime

D．Celebrity biographies

23．What does the author mean by saying“…so don’t call in Sherlock Holmes just yet”?

A．Don’t buy the books about Sherlock Holmes． B．Don’t visit Sherlock Holmes．

C．The books about Sherlock Holmes are no longer popular． D．There’s no need to look into the question any more．

B

It was one of those days when there was way too much to do. I had fallen behind in most of my household chores.

After breakfast, I sat down at the computer to write an article. My youngest daughter, Julia, walked toward me. \Mommy, I thought we were going to do something fun today,\off, but it's not Mommy's day off,\

\sighed. I really didn't have time to play. I desperately needed to get some work done. But then I had an idea. \done, and my toenails(脚趾甲) painted at the same time. My oldest, Austin, volunteered to fix lunch so I could keep working. Shortly after lunch, we went to the grocery store and I got what I needed. Back at home, the kids decided to play \store\For the remainder of the afternoon, I cleaned house, folded laundry, and started dinner. The kids continued with their game until my husband, Eric, walked through the door.

He saw me and smiled. \how was the kids' big day off today?\I began to explain that we hadn't done anything special. But my two middle kids, Jordan and Lea interrupted me. They told their dad, \a blast!\I nodded, realizing how right he was. Happiness is far more about our attitude than our circumstances. I hugged my kids and thanked them for reminding me to look for

happiness in the little things. Julia smiled and said, \make you the happiest are us, right, Mommy?\24.How did Julia probably feel after hearing what her mother said in Paragraph 2? A. Quite satisfied. B. Quite surprised. C. A little confused. D. A little disappointed.

25.Why did the author advise to play beauty shop? A. She decided to relax herself. B. She planned to finish her work. C. She liked the game very much. D. She wanted to keep her promise.

26.What does the underlined sentence “It was a blast!” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. It was different. B. It was ordinary. C. It was amazing. D. It was successful.

27.What message does the author intend to convey in this text? A. Family life brings us greatest joy. B. Life is made up of small pleasures. C. Happiness can be gained in little things. D. Little things can make a great difference.

C

To understand how much we rely on ecosystem services, imagine a world where humans are the only species – perhaps in a spaceship far from Earth.

There are no plants releasing oxygen, so you have to engineer a way to make it yourself. So straight away you need a chemical processing plant on board your ship. That same plant will have to make water too.

There is also nothing to eat, so you must artificially make food. You could synthesise(人工合成) chemicals like sugars and fats, but making it delicious would

be extremely hard. As of 2015, we can't even make an artificial burger that everyone finds convincing.

Let's not even get started on the microorganisms(微生物) living in your gut, many of which are beneficial. The point is that, while we could in theory do all these things artificially, it is far easier to let the existing wildlife do them for us. The scale of these ecosystem services, when you add them up, turns out to be extraordinarily large.

In 1997, ecologist Robert Costanza and his colleagues estimated that the ecosystem provides services worth around $33 trillion a year. For comparison, they noted that the entire global economy at the time produced around $18 trillion a year. Five years later, the team took the argument a step further by asking how much we would gain by conserving biodiversity. They concluded that the benefits would outweigh the costs by a factor of 100. In other words, conserving nature is a unbelievably good investment.

By contrast, letting species decline and go extinct looks like a bad move. A 2010 study concluded that unchecked species loss would wipe 18% off global economic output by 2050.

You may perhaps be feeling that all this talk of economics and growth is strange. It's all rather cold and heartless, without any of the love for the natural world that we were talking about earlier. Well, many environmentalists feel the same way. 28.What does the author want to tell us by mentioning an artificial burger in Paragraph 3?

A．Artificial things are similar to natural ones.

B．Artificial things can hardly be the same as natural ones. C．We have a long way to go to develop artificial things. D．We can hardly distinguish artificial things from natural ones. 29.What’s the main problem with doing many things artificially? A． Its high costs. B． Its negative effects. C． Its being difficult.

D． Its being impossible.

30. What factor does the author stress to support his/her statement? A． Political systems. B． Cultural traditions. C． Economic benefits. D． Environmental protection.

31.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A． To prove the value of biodiversity.

B． To stress the importance of the environment. C． To tell us how the ecosystem works. D． To teach us how to protect the ecosystem.

D

As self — driving cars come closer to being common on American roads, much of the rhetoric (说辞) promoting them has to do with safety. About 40,000 people die on U. S. roads every year, and driver errors are linked to more than 90 percent of crashes. But many of the biggest advocates of autonomous vehicles aren’t car companies looking to improve the safety of their existing products. Huge backing for self - driving technologies is coming from Silicon Valley giants like Google and Apple.

Those of us who have studied the relationship between technology and society tend to look more carefully at the motivations behind any technological push. In this case, it’s clear that in addition to addressing safety concerns, Silicon Valley firms have a strong incentive (动机) to create a new venue for increasing the use of their digital devices. Every minute people spend on their mobile phones provides data - and often money - to tech companies.

At present, digital devices and driving are in conflict: There are serious, often fatal, consequences when drivers use smartphones to talk or to text. Regulators and safety advocates look to resolve dial conflict by banning phone use while driving - as has happened in virtually every state. But the tech companies are taking a different approach. The obvious answer for Silicon Valley is creating an automobile

in which continuous cellphone use no longer poses a threat to anyone.

In recent years, the amount of time adults spend on their mobile devices has grown rapidly. At the moment, it’s around four hours a day for the average adult in the U. S. However, that rapid growth is likely to slow down as people run out of time that ’ s available for them to use their devices. Unless, of course, there’s a new block of time that suddenly opens up. The average American now spends about 48 minutes in a car every day, a sizable opportunity for increased cellphone use.

So as the public conversation around autonomous cars highlights the safety advantages, don’t forget the tech industry ’ s powerful desire for more profits, which goes well beyond simply saving us from ourselves. 32. Who are responsible for most traffic accidents in America?

A. Car companies. B. Tech companies. C. Drivers. D. Self - driving cars. 33. What is Silicon Valley’s motive for promoting self - driving technologies? A. To make more money.

B. To reduce traffic accidents.

C. To limit the use of digital devices. D. To support car companies.

34. What is the present - day solution to the conflict between digital devices and driving?

A. Teaching people traffic rules.

B. Improving self-driving technologies. C. Fixing digital devices in cars. D. Banning phone use while driving.

35. What does the underlined phrase “a new block of time” possibly refer to? A. The working time.

B. People’s spare time.

D. The time spent on mobile devices.

C. The time spent in the car.

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。

Within the past year an increasing number of firms have poured hundreds of millions

of do11ars to compete to become China’s“Uber for bikes”．On almost every street corner in China’s major cities，bikes of different shapes，sizes，and colors are lined up next to one another．Pedestrians looking for a lift can open their smartphones，unlock a bike parked nearby and jump on for a ride． 36

Mobike can produce 10 million bikes a year．Then there’s ofo，which now claims 10 million users in 33 cities for its bright yellow bikes．And Bluegogo，Xiaoming and around a dozen more copy—cat firms，many of which have started up in the past six months． 37

While Mobike and ofo are easy to use，they’re equally easy to abuse．The“park anywhere”policy is a blessing and a curse(诅咒)． 38 But it also allows riders to park their bikes in remote locations with no nearby foot-traffic．

39 They call on volunteer users to spot and report thrown—away bikes．And they have also hired in-house teams specifically for rounding up the bikes which are placed at random．Big investors are putting in a steady flow of funds to support the ongoing bike-sharing boom．But concern about whether such an investment makes economic sense continue to increase．40 The“blood—making”capacity of the bike-sharing industry still remains to be seen．

A．Riders place their bikes anywhere．

B．The companies seem to take the problem seriously． C．Ofo raised $450 million from a range of investors． D．The industry itself questions if the boom can keep going．

E．These sharing firms have clearly made cycling cool again in China． F．Of course，they need to pay a fee once they arrive at their destination． G.On the one hand it increases the possibility that bikes will be found in neighbourhood.
