London, well-known for its wide variety of museums, offers great fun and entertainment to families with kids on their tour around it, and best of all, most of the museums are free. Here are some that are too good to miss.
London Transport Museum
This is a great, child-friendly museum which combines education(tracing the history of public transport from 1829 to the present day)with activities. Housed in a huge iron and glass structure, the museum possesses a wonderful and colorful collection of horse-drawn and motorized trams(有轨电车), buses and trolley cars.
The Theatre Museum
The name of the museum is a little misleading. It offers all aspects of the performing arts, so there are displays of ballet, opera, pop music and magic. But there's no doubt that it's theatre and drama that take centre stage. The museum is big on interaction, putting on a daily program of free workshops where kids can learn how to operate puppets(木偶), try on costumes and even walk out on a stage.
The Science Museum
The Science Museum, perhaps more than any other museum, understands children. It understands that children like to be involved with the exhibits; they like to touch, to feel, to press and to push as well as merely to see. Bathed in blue light, it offers lots of hands-on fun.
There is also an IMAX theatre showing science-related films on huge screens. Before leaving, make sure you check out the museum shop which is filled with science toys and games.

An 18-year-old US girl gained unexpected appreciation and a surprise after she gave “extra help” to an elderly man in the restaurant she was working.
It's social media that made her seemingly small action go viral and brought her appreciation from hundreds of thousands of strangers and a scholarship to Texas Southern University.
The heroine Evoni Williams has reportedly been working full-time to earn money for further study in a restaurant in La Marque, Texas, the United States. It was last week when an old man named Adrian Charpentier asked for help to chop his ham for his hands were weak because of illness. On that busy morning when she had loads of work on shoulder, Williams helped the man without hesitation. The moment she was leaning over the counter and cutting the ham was shot by a customer known as Laura Wolf.
Wolf posted the picture on the Internet and wrote, “I'm thankful to have seen this act of kindness and caring at the start of my day while everything in this world seems so negative. If we could all be like this waitress and take time to offer a helping hand. . . ” According to local reports, Wolf didn't know Williams, neither did Williams know her act was shot and shared on the web. However, the small act of kindness soon accumulated its own power on and outside the Internet.
Besides praise from netizens and media reports across the United States, a 16000-dollar scholarship to Texas Southern University was recently granted to Williams to support her study plan on business management.
“We wanted to reward Evoni's act of kindness and let her know that good deeds do not go unnoticed,” said Melinda Spaulding, an administrator at Texas Southern University.
4. What did Evoni Williams help Adrian Charpentier do
A. Cut his ham. B. Paid his bill.
C. Changed his food. D. Took a picture for him.
5. Why did Laura Wolf post the picture on the Internet
A. To attract people's attention. B. To support Williams' study.
C. To share a beautiful picture. D. To encourage people to help others.
6. What will the scholarship be used to do
A. To help Charpentier open a restaurant.
B. To sponsor elderly customers in the restaurant.
C. To support Williams to learn business management.
D. To achieve Wolf's dream of helping people in need.
7. What can we infer from the text
A. No pains, no gains. B. Do well and have well.
C. All that ends well is well. D. A merry heart goes all the way.

When faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.
About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.
As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”
According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button,you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.
If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.
8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2
A. People do it just for fun. B. It is a common practice.
C. People take it seriously. D. It is a bit childish.
9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button
A. It is meaningful in the long term.
B. It makes people become lazy.
C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.
D. It affects our body and mind.
10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms
A. Forming a good sleep habit. B. Trying to relax ourselves.
C. Making use of willpower. D. Using an extra alarm.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.
B. The snooze button and people's character.
C. Should you rely on the snooze button
D. How to avoid the light sleep mode
D
Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession(一连串,连续)". With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, " binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode”.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said: “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction
The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”
12. How did the writer develop the first paragraph
A. Listing some examples
B. Telling a story.
C. Giving a definition
D. Analyzing the cause and effect
13. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 2
A. similarly B. gradually C. naturally D. necessarily
14 What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that _____________.
A. people have no patience to do work
B. people can’t control their movements
C. people are delighted to watch television
D. people can’t resist the temptation
15. What advice did the writer give at last

B. To draw life lessons from the episodes.
C. To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.
D. To keep online media from stopping functioning.

Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yoghurt. What’s the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn’t seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then— bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot (鼻涕)frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help him. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done

An 18-year-old US girl gained unexpected appreciation and a surprise after she gave “extra help” to an elderly man in the restaurant she was working.
It's social media that made her seemingly small action go viral and brought her appreciation from hundreds of thousands of strangers and a scholarship to Texas Southern University.
The heroine Evoni Williams has reportedly been working full-time to earn money for further study in a restaurant in La Marque, Texas, the United States. It was last week when an old man named Adrian Charpentier asked for help to chop his ham for his hands were weak because of illness.

When faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.
About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.
As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”
According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button,you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.
If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.
8 What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2
A. People do it just for fun. B. It is a common practice.
C. People take it seriously. D. It is a bit childish.
9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button
A. It is meaningful in the long term.
B. It makes people become lazy.
C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.
D. It affects our body and mind.
10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms
A. Forming a good sleep habit. B. Trying to relax ourselves.
C. Making use of willpower. D. Using an extra alarm.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.
B. The snooze button and people's character.
C. Should you rely on the snooze button
D. How to avoid the light sleep mode
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。很多人习惯于早上设置闹钟,并在闹钟响起后再睡一会儿,文章讲述了这种做法的坏处,并给出了科学的作息方案。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.”可知,根据社交媒体上的小调查,按下小睡按钮是很多人都有的习惯,与B选项含义一致。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button,you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy.”可知,在一些睡眠专家看来,起床后小睡会迷惑身体和大脑,D选项“它会影响身体和大脑”含义一致。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle.”可知,作者给出的利用好闹钟的建议是,养成健康的睡眠周期,与A选项“养成良好的睡眠习惯”含义一致。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。总览全文,主要围绕“snooze button”展开,文章先是引出了起床后小睡这种现象,继而引用专家和研究人员的观点指出其弊端所在,最后作者给出了合理的建议,C选项“你应该依赖小睡按钮吗?”切合主题,适合作为标题。故选C项。
【点睛】阅读理解中主旨大意题是重难点题型之一,其中标题判断是较为常见的一个类型,要求在阅读并理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等推断出作者索要表达的态度观点。为了能找出符合题意的一项,我们必须排除干扰项,一般干扰项包括以下几种类型:1.夸大事实型——对于原文中的细节或论断的某方面程度进行了夸大处理;2.无中生有型——捏造原文并不存在的信息;3.推理过头型——引申过度,使得结论过于绝对化。第4小题对于标题的判断中,A选项“早晨保持清醒的办法”,B选项“小睡按钮和人们的性格”,D选项“如何避免浅睡模式”都不能如实准确反映文章主题,由此也可以确定正确答案。
D
Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession(一连串,连续)". With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, " binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode”.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said: “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction
The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”
12. How did the writer develop the first paragraph

Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yoghurt. What’s the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn’t seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then— bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot (鼻涕)frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help him. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. “Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt ” I explained that if we were blind to the poor man’s situation he would be freezing. He didn’t have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt.
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I am doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and we always have the opportunity to be a blessing to someone else.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。
【详解】通读短文可知,由于物价以及自己工作的原因,本周在经济上对于作者来说是艰难的一周,作者和儿子在杂货店里购物,为了让儿子能买到他想买的酸奶。作者不得不放回去一些已经购买的商品。从杂货店开车回来的路上,作者注意到一个无家可归的人在路边举着一个牌子,尽管作者经济困难,还是给了这个无家可归的人5美元,短文续写由此展开。第一段开头:看到这些,作者的儿子感到困惑和惊讶。所以短文要续写儿子与作者之间的对话,以此介绍作者为什么要慷慨地给这个无家可归的人5美元,而对于儿子买酸奶时却对儿子如此刻薄。第二段开头:那天,儿子做了一件大多数成年人不会做的事。所以短文要续写,儿子将自己心爱的酸奶递给窗外的无家可归的人,以及作者的感悟。
【点睛】文章思路清晰,语言规范,段落整齐,语篇连贯,层次清晰。使用了较为高级的句式: even if 引导的让步状语从句和who引导的定语从句Even if it was a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it.
高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次,整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。
