Bradley McConachie, a 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago. Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I'm in China".
Bradley was lucky to win the most "likes" for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer. All the winners’ experiences were filmed to produce a reality show, My Chinese Working Day, which will be broadcast by mid-September.
Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many “amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate（体现）modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs.
“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter（直升机）ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning" view of the coastline.
“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes（风景）China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series. It was nice to experience these little touches. I was happy to be a part of that experience!” Bradley said.
24. What made Bradley's life more colorful ____________
A. Obtaining his PhD. B. The cultural exchanges project.
C. The research about Beijing University. D. The interest in international relations.
25. Why was Bradley given the chance ____________
A. He produced the reality show. B. He was one of the top 20 winners.
C. His life in China was interesting. D. He liked photo stories most.
26. Which of the following best explains “stunning" in Paragraph 4 ____________
A. Excellent. B. Confusing. C. Agreeable. D. Extreme.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph ____________
A. It's difficult to produce moving TV series. B. Beijing and Shanghai are historical sites.
C. Sanya is worth visiting for foreigners. D. Many Australians know little about China.

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed is first fight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle—named the Transition—has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit（订金）to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways. It's expected to cost as much as $279,000, And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administrations（联邦航空管理局）decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The advantages of flying cars B. The designers of the Transition.
C. The possible market for flying cars. D. The basic data of the Transition
29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up on too many driveways
A. It causes traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate.
C. It is very expensive. D. It burs too much fuel
30. What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car
A. The government is against it. B. The government supports it
C. The government sets higher standards to discourage it. D. The government thinks it is on the way out.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition's First Flight
C. Pilots' Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality
D
It's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don`t remember what they've eaten or where they've been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish's movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively（挑衅地）in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights". But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees（黑猩猩）, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
32. According to the text， people commonly believe that__________
A fish don't recognize any of their friends B. a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutes
C. fish can only remember part of their past experiences D. fish can remember things that happened long ago
33. How can fish benefit most from a good memory
A. They can remember their enemies and fight B. They can remember where to get food and survive.
C. They can remember their friends and help each other. D. They can remember where to go when in danger.
34. What can we learn from the text
A. Only African cichlids have a good memory. B. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively
C. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days. D. African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. What we can learn from fish. B. Fish having a very bad memory.
C. How fish improve their memory. D. Fish being smarter than we thought.

It is always said that China is the homeland of tea, which has a very long history of tea. 36 However, unlike the western custom of using a convenient teabag, Chinese go to a lot of effort and time to prepare good tea for their guests using tea-leaves, natural spring water and a special kettle etc. to create worldwide famous tea culture.

Color
38 Good green tea-leaves have jade green with fresh vitality（活力）. Twisted pan green tea shows glossy gray green. If some of the tea-leaves have dry, dark and brown color, it means it is old tea. If the leaves have mixed, large contrast colors, it is believed that the tea is mixed with yellow leaves, old leaves and even old tea, which does not live up to the standard of good tea.
Flavor
New tea is extremely clear and transparent with strong aroma（芳香）, while old tea is characterized by brown color and weak fragrance. Take green tea and black tea for example, new green tea tastes a little bitter fist, and then the fresh sweet taste begins to surface gradually, leaving a long and memorable aftertaste in mouth. 39
Place of origin
There is great gap of quality among various places of origin. 40 For example, it is well-known that Yunnan produces the best quality Pu'er tea and premium Oolong tea can be found within Fujian Province.
A. Some varieties are identified by tightness of the leaves.
B. Every tea-leaf has its own shape
C. While you're selecting tea, you should pay attention to following aspects.
D. It is always advised to select tea from is main producing areas.
E. Generally, new tea-leaves look fresh and pleasing, with light green or dark green.
F. For foreigners in China, drinking tea may seem like a simple refreshment
G. On the contrary, if bitter taste takes the lead and fresh sweet taste subsides（减弱）, it is bad tea.

I just want to give you a gift." The boy handed him the figurine. "This is for you."

Bradley McConachie, a 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago. Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I'm in China".
Bradley was lucky to win the most "likes" for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer. All the winners’ experiences were filmed to produce a reality show, My Chinese Working Day, which will be broadcast by mid-September.
Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many “amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate（体现）modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs.
“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter（直升机）ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning" view of the coastline.
“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes（风景）China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series. It was nice to experience these little touches. I was happy to be a part of that experience!” Bradley said.
24. What made Bradley's life more colorful ____________
A. Obtaining his PhD. B. The cultural exchanges project.
C. The research about Beijing University. D. The interest in international relations.
25. Why was Bradley given the chance ____________

C. Sanya is worth visiting for foreigners. D. Many Australians know little about China.

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed is first fight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle—named the Transition—has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit（订金）to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways. It's expected to cost as much as $279,000, And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administrations（联邦航空管理局）decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The advantages of flying cars B. The designers of the Transition.
C. The possible market for flying cars. D. The basic data of the Transition
29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up on too many driveways
A. It causes traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate.
C. It is very expensive. D. It burs too much fuel
30. What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car
A. The government is against it. B. The government supports it
C. The government sets higher standards to discourage it. D. The government thinks it is on the way out.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition's First Flight
C. Pilots' Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality
D
It's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don`t remember what they've eaten or where they've been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish's movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively（挑衅地）in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights". But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees（黑猩猩）, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
32. According to the text， people commonly believe that__________
A fish don't recognize any of their friends B. a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutes
C. fish can only remember part of their past experiences D. fish can remember things that happened long ago
33. How can fish benefit most from a good memory
A. They can remember their enemies and fight B. They can remember where to get food and survive.
C. They can remember their friends and help each other. D. They can remember where to go when in danger.
34. What can we learn from the text
A. Only African cichlids have a good memory. B. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively
C. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days. D. African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. What we can learn from fish. B. Fish having a very bad memory.
C. How fish improve their memory. D. Fish being smarter than we thought.

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people hardly visited. The house was very old and the owner hardly ever came out When he did come out he would not say hello to neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare（登眼看）at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house. A lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. "What do you want " the old man said. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota（份额）to meet for school with selling the magazines.
"Uh, sir, I uh am selling these magazines and uh I was wondering if you would like to buy one." The old man just stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines（小狗雕像）on the wall. "Do you collect dogs " the little boy asked. “Yes, have many collections in my house. They are my family here. They are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul. "Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much." The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, "No boy, I don' need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye."
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the big house that he owned.

Paragraph 1:
The boy headed back down to the old man's house with the figurine. He knocked on the door again and the old man opened the door. "Boy, I told you no magazines." "No, sir. I just want to give you a gift." The boy handed him the figurine. "This is for you." Looking at the boy, the old man was too surprised to say anything but his face lit up because no one had ever given him such a gift and shown him so much kindness.
Paragraph 2:
From that day on something changed inside the old man. He started coming out of the house and talking to his neighbours. Soon, he and the boy became friends. The boy visited the old man frequently and even brought his real live dog to the house once in a while. Gradually, the old man developed the habit of smiling at everyone and showed his precious collections to children actively and warmly. With the boy's company, the old man was no longer a lonely soul.
