A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle (交通工具), but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to a UK government survey in 2017, about 570, 000 bike journeys were made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city,” Johnson told The Guardian in 2015.
In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city, riding a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.
And it's not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government's Cycle to Work scheme (计划) allows workers to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax (税). This means that it's common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some companies even provide showers and lockers in the workplaces for their workers. More importantly, a cycle friendly boss may let you off for being late if you ride a bike to work.
Not only is it great for the environment and our body, but cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine, “Bike riding can improve people's happiness.”
1.What's Johnson's attitude towards the bike sharing system in London
A.Disappointed. B.Concerned.
C.Supportive. D.Uninterested.
2.What can workers get from the government under the Cycle to Work scheme
A.Free bike sharing services.
B.Showers and lockers in workplaces.
C.Shorter working hours.
D.Tax free bikes.
3.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A.Cycling, a healthy way of life
B.How cycling has become popular in London
C.Why Londoners are encouraged to ride bikes
D.London's public bike sharing system
4.How does the author show the popularity of cycling in London
A.By using numbers.
B.By giving examples.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By using famous sayings.
B
The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.
About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It's been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population (族群) had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
Months ago, the Swiss government allowed the locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow (鬣羚), a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.
However, these stories don't always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic (经济的) development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.
“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn't put either one to one side, as the future is uncertain.”
5.What does the underlined word “menace” in the second paragraph mean
A.Chance. B.Challenge.
C.Gift. D.Danger.
6.What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs
A.3,500 black bears were killed in Florida.
B.The wolf can't be killed in Switzerland.
C.The serow is protected in China.
D.Three old Chinese men's loss was made up for.
7.What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen's story
A.Protecting animals needs hard work.
B.Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.
C.Zhou had a good relationship with local people.
D.Protecting animals can bring economic development.
8.Which of the following might Robert May agree with
A.Humans can kill animals when their interests are harmed.
B.We should pay more attention to the future than the present.
C.We should consider both the environmental and human interests.
D.It's easy to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.
C
Camping is a good way to spend time with your kids and to show them how wonderful nature can be. Through camping, children can discover new things about nature, such as flowers, birds, and other small animals. Camping gives kids time to get away from all the electronics (电子设备) of today's culture. So it is necessary to plan exciting and enjoyable family camping trips with your children while they are young.
When planning your family camping trip, think about the activities your kids like: games, hiking, swimming, boating, bicycling, etc. Select a camping place that has some of the activities the kids are interested in. Meal planning is an important part of your camping trip. Plan the meals together, and kids love to choose what they want to eat.
When starting to pack for your trip, let the kids pack their own items (物品). Each person should have his/her own sleeping bag with a luggage (行李) bag to put it in. Personal items should be packed with their sleeping bags. Encourage the kids to put their items in a certain place and always return them when they have finished using them.
When you have arrived at your campsite, make all the camping activities a family activity, which will help children to realize how important teamwork is. Everyone can have his/her own job around the campsite. Mealtimes can be a fun time. So let the older ones help with the cooking on your outdoor camping stove while the younger ones get the picnic table ready.
9.Which of the following is the best place for a family camping
A.A place covered with forests.
B.A place with a river and wild animals.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there were more than a million lions worldwide. Today there are less than 30,000 in the wild. The remaining lions are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, hunting activities to protect farms and cattle.
For generations, Masai tribesmen on the large African plains in southeastern Kenya have hunted lions—to protect their farms and cattle. Today they celebrate the lions' life.
Noah is an elder in the Masai community. “We have decided as a community of the Masai to lay down our spears, and there will be no more killing of lions in our community.” He is part of a group of Masai visiting the United States promoting (推广) the Predator (捕食性动物) Compensation Program.
Conservation International's Frank Hawkins explains,“The Masai have been living with wildlife for many generations and it has been a conflicting relationship in many ways. They compete with the animals for food as lions eat their cattle. We're trying to find ways in which the wildlife will become something useful to them. ” They had the Predator Compensation Fund founded in 2003. After much discussion, a group of Masai farmers agreed to protect lions. In turn, if lions or other predators kill their cattle, the Masai owner will be paid market value for the dead animals from the fund.
One man said that in the past, when a lion killed cattle, they killed it on the spot. And now, after the start of the program, the Masai see the lion population growing. Since 2003, only four lions have been killed here.
12.What is the aim of the Predator Compensation Program
A.To protect people in the wild.
B.To help the Masai protect their farms and cattle.
C.To protect lions only.
D.To protect the wildlife.
13.According to the passage, why haven't Masai tribesmen killed many lions since 2003
A.Because lions don't eat their cattle any more.
B.Because they will be fined if they kill lions there
C.Because if a lion kills their cattle, they will be paid for the dead animals from the fund.
D.Because there are less than 30,000 lions in the wild now.
14.What do you think of the Masai
A.Reasonable. B.Cruel.
C.Poor. D.Stupid.
15.What is this passage mainly about
A.The wildlife in the world.
B.Lions and the Masai.
C.The reason why lions are killed.
D.The living ways of the Masai.

Paragraph 1:
April arrives a few minutes after Cody. She looks angry at first, because Cody cheated her to get a head start. Cody apologizes for cheating her, and explains that he really likes the Bulldog. April accepts his apology and congratulates him on his being the winner and hence getting to choose the dog. They return to the pet_store to purchase Buster the Bulldog. However, when they arrive at the pet store, they only see Teacup the Chihuahua. They ask the owner where Buster is.
Paragraph 2:
Mr Smith tells them the details. He explains that a few minutes after April and Cody left, two boys walked in and decided to buy the Bulldog. Cody looks at April, and she holds back a smile. Both of them did not expect that would happen within a short time. Cody sighs. He turns back to Mr Smith. “Sometimes you win the race,_but not the prize!” Cody says sadly, and points at the only dog left. “We will take the Chihuahua, please.”
