The Visitor Oyster card
A Visitor Oyster card is the cheapest way to pay for a single adult journey in London. It’s a plastic smart card. You can use it on the bus, tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and most National Rail services. It’s much cheaper than buying individual tickets, in some cases costing 50% less than the price of a regular paper ticket.
How to get a Visitor Oyster card
You can buy a Visitor Oyster card online. Your card will be delivered by post. The card costs 5 and you choose how much money you want to add to the card. This means you can start using the card the moment you arrive in Central London.
How does the Visitor Oyster card work
The Oyster card works on a pay-as-you-go system. You start by adding money to the card. Then you travel, the cost of the fare will automatically (自动地) be deducted (扣除) from your Visitor Oyster card. For example, if you add 20 to the card and make a tube journey of 2. 30, you will have 17.70 left on the card.
A few more points:
·A child under the age of 11 travels free when accompanied by an adult.
·You’ll save more money if you use the tube three times. The Visitor Oyster card is “capped (定上限)” at 6.80 per day.
·You’ll pay more during peak times. Peak fares apply from Monday to Friday-(6:30 am—9:30 am; 4:00 pm—7:00 pm), except for public holidays.
·Reuse the Oyster card by adding credit at a tube station, Oyster ticket shop or Visitor Centre.
·Receive a discount on the Thames Clippers River Bus services.
21. What can we learn about the Visitor Oyster card
A. You can’t use it during public holidays.
B. You can have it mailed directly to your home.
C. You can get a free Oyster card if you order online.
D. You can receive a 50% discount at any shop in London.
22. How much money will be deducted if you take the tube four times in a day with a Visitor Oyster card

23. Where can you add credit to your Visitor Oyster card
A. On the Internet. B. At a bus station.
C. At a tube station. D. In convenience stores.

Miss Arbury teaches history at the local high school. Learning history is not exciting for most kids, with a few cool things and lots of facts to memorize. But Miss Arbury’s classes have been the favorites at her school for over twenty years. Students arrive early, sit quietly, and wait for class to begin. What could possibly make noisy high school students so suddenly eager to learn
Humor and history go together in Miss Arbury’s history class. When everything is ready, Miss Arbury, dressed in a British soldier uniform during the revolutionary war, enters the classroom. A few students begin to laugh as she walks to an old recorder. She presses the button of play and begins a funny rap about the Boston Tea Party and the Declaration of Independence. She then challenges students to their responses. Miss Arbury is not a good dancer. She looks nothing like a British soldier. She is short, a little round and she herself admits that she is mostly tone deaf. But the kids love it.
At lunch time the cafe buzzes with kids laughing about Miss Arbury’s history class. She dresses up as a witch when teaching about the Salem Witch Trials. She wears a Winston Churchill mask when discussing the Battle of Britain. Her British accent is not even close, but the kids remember what she teaches.
At the end of the semester, the lesson becomes clear. In order to make the future better, we have to understand the past. Having a good laugh along the way makes the lesson much easier to remember.
24. What is special about Miss Arbury in class
A. She reads many historical stories to students. B. She asks her students to act like actors.

C. Humor Is the Key to Success. D. Teaching Is an Art.

Plastics have been found from the top of Mount Qomolangma to newly-formed beaches in Hawaii. The amount of plastic in our environment is shocking. What can we do about it I’m inspired by Kate Nelson, who has lived without using single-use plastic for over ten years. Kate is also the founder of Sea the Mermaids, an organization focusing on stopping human-sourced ocean pollution through education and community action.
She recently wrote an inspiring and practical guidebook I Quit Plastics: and you can too, which is full of information and tips on how to cook, clean, shop, wear and live plastic-free. Upon first opening, you will see a recipe for Cashew Cheese that looks amazing! Not only does this book provide many delicious recipes, but also explores interesting problems about plastic pollution.
For example, Kate explores the problems about plastics and social justice, including plastic privilege (特权). She points out that wealthier countries, such as the USA, export their plastic waste to Southeast Asia, but many of these countries cannot process their own waste. In addition, most of the affordable food, though processed and unhealthy, is heavily packaged in plastic. People that live in “food deserts” in cities and depend on corner stores have no choice when it comes to avoiding plastics. Kate writes in the book, “Not everyone will have bulk (散装) food stores or farmers’ markets near where they live.”
Kate’s writing is easy to read without sounding preachy (说教的). Her explanations and reasoning are clear. From food to beauty to cleaning, Kate’s practical recipes and tips make it easy for everyone to reduce their chances of using single-use plastic. She develops effective strategies that others can easily adopt and offers clear steps to help people improve on the plastic quitting journey.
28. Why does the author talk about plastic in the first paragraph

30. What problem are people in “food deserts” facing
A. They eat too much unhealthy food.
B. They can’t afford to buy enough food.
C. They can’t avoid plastic-packaged food.
D. They prefer bulk food to packaged food.
31. What is the text
A. An environment report. B. A book review.
C. An author’s introduction. D. A scientific research.
D
Did you ever have to say “no” to somebody Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you New research suggests that, at least socially, a rejection (拒绝) should not include an apology. In other words, saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better. In fact, it might make the rejected person feel worse. That is surprising. Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.
Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College. For her research, she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection. In one example, the researchers asked people for their reaction (反应) after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday. And Taylor was told “no”. But in some cases, the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology. In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry. People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.
Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay—even when they felt like it was not okay. Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment, hurt or anger more easily. Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better—even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.
Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”
32. Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection
A. Because they think it is more polite.
B. Because they think it helps them express their dislike better.
C. Because they think apologies are the basis of communication.
D. Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.
33. In Gili Freedman’s research, over 1,000 people ________.
A. rejected others without an apology
B. offered an apology when rejecting others
C. would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology
D were asked to answer the question in different situations
34. What role does an apology play in rejection
A. It makes the rejection more acceptable.
B. It makes a good impression on the listener.
C. It makes the communication more pleasant.
D. It makes the person doing the rejecting feel better.
35. What will be mentioned next according to the last paragraph
A. The effect of an apology during a rejection.
B. Gili Freedman’s research on business situations.
C. A rejection with an apology in a business situation.
D. The difference between a social situation and a business one.

22. 细节理解题。根据A few more points 部分You’ll save more money if you use the tube several times. The Visitor Oyster card is “capped (给……定上限)” at 6.80 per day.可知如果你乘几次地铁,你会节省更多的钱。Visitor Oyster卡的“上限”是每天6.8英镑。故选C。

30. 细节理解题。根据第三段第三、四句话“In addition, most of the affordable food, though processed and unhealthy, is heavily packaged in plastic. People that live in “food deserts” in cities and depend on corner stores have no choice when it comes to avoiding plastics.

(在一些情况下,拒绝泰勒的人说对不起)可知B项是错误;第二段第六句:In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry.(在其他情况下,拒绝的人并没有说对不起。)可知,选项A错误。第二段最后两句:People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.(人们被问到,如果他们像泰勒一样被拒绝,他们会有什么感觉?大多数表示,与拒绝不道歉相比,他们会被拒绝加道歉伤得更深。)可知,选项C错误。故:选择D项。
34. 细节理解题。结合文章倒数第二段的最后一句:Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better—even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.(弗雷曼还表示,道歉通常让拒绝者感觉更好过,即使这会让被拒绝者感觉更糟。)可知,选项D:这会让拒绝的人感觉更好。和文章的意义一致。故:选择D项。
35. 推理判断题. 结合最后一段的表达:Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”(她的研究只涉及社交互动。商务场合可能会有很大不同。弗雷曼表示,如果一位经理拒绝一位求职者,或是一位老板必须要开除一名员工,对道歉的反应可能会有所不同。)可以推断出,在接下来的表达中将会涉及商务场合。故:选择C项。
七选五:36-40:FCDAG
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些提高英语听力的建议。
36. 根据上文“When learning English, some students may find it difficult to improve their listening.(在学习英语时,一些学生可能发现提高听力很困难。这里有一些建议)”可知下文提到了一些提高听力的建议,空格处为本段最后一句,应承接上文说明这些建议的作用,F选项中“they”指代上文“tips”。故F选项“也许它们能以这样或那样的方式帮助你”符合语境,故选F。
37. 根据后文“You need to relax. This will help you with your listening.(你需要放松。这对你的听力有帮助)”可知,空格处提到要放松,即不要激动或紧张。故C选项“在你开始听东西之前,不要激动或紧张”符合语境,故选C。
38. 根据上文“The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage. For example, if, at the beginning, you hear “Many shops in many parts of China have decided to take away all kinds of Japanese goods off their shelves, but some people say it’s not a good idea. Our reporter says….”(第一个句子讲述了整篇文章的很多内容。例如,在开始的时候,你听到“中国很多地方的很多商店决定把各种各样的日本商品从货架上撤走,但有人说这不是个好主意。我们的记者说……”)”可知,上文提到了记者,可见是这一条新闻。故D选项“你知道你会听到一条新闻,而不是儿童故事或科学报告”符合语境,故选D。
39. 根据后文“For example, you can think of the following questions: What happened When, where and how What was the result and what did the speaker want to tell us In this way, you may understand the passage better. (例如,你可以想到以下问题:发生了什么?时间、地点和方式?结果是什么?说话者想告诉我们什么?这样,你可能会更好地理解这篇文章。)”可知,空格后提到了思考发生了什么事?何时,何地,如何?结果是什么?说话者想告诉我们什么?可知听听力的时候需要进行思考,故A选项“当你听的时候,试着思考”符合语境,故选A。
40. 根据本段内容“It’s important for you to remember some important facts. For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember its findings, and how the scientists got their results. This is also helpful to your listening.(记住一些重要的事实对你来说很重要。例如,如果这篇文章是一篇科学报告,你应该试着记住它的发现,以及科学家是如何得到他们的结果的。这对你的听力也有帮助)”可知,本段主要强调了听重要事实的重要性,G选项中“important facts”对应后文中“important facts”,故G选项“听重要的事实”符合语境,故选G。

建议信应用文:
Dear Wang Wei,
You wrote that you have been worried about keeping up with the other students in learning English since you became a freshman at senior high school. I understand it is a challenge to learn English now, but we should not quit. English is widely used in the world and it’ll be an important tool in our future work. So I recommend that you watch English films and listen to English songs. Besides, to speak fluent English you should communicate with your English teachers and classmates often. It’s also a good idea to read English newspapers, magazines or novels and then write down your views or comments. In addition, keeping a diary in English is of great help.
I’m looking forwards to hearing good news from you.
Best wishes!
Yours,
LiHua

Good afternoon, everyone. It’s the school’s radio broadcast again. Today we’ll be talking about sports. (17) Judging by the number of people who go to see games and by the number of those actually playing it, basketball is one of the most popular sports in the United States today. It’s mainly an indoor game, and the season (赛季) goes from the late fall, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams but, for the most part, basketball is a school sport. Do you love playing basketball Believe it or not, I’m a big fan of our school’s basketball team. (18)
In the summer, the most popular sport is baseball. (19) You can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country.
In the fall, the most popular sport is football. (20) This is not the same kind of football that is so popular in other parts of the world. It is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty in knowing how it is played. (20) Okay, I’ll be back after the music time…
