Copenhagen has GREAT public transport. It is reliable, safe, and easily accessible. Of course, like everything in Copenhagen, it is not cheap. The system can be a little confusing, even for locals, but we're here to help simplify it all for you! And today our focus is Travelling with a Bike.
BIKES ON THE TRAIN
Bicycles can be taken on s-tog lines for free but you can't take bikes through N rreport station during peak hours. To take your bike on a train, you need to put it on the first or last carriage, clearly marked with large signs of bicycles on the outside.
To take a bike on a regional train, which takes you to parts of Denmark outside Copenhagen, you must buy an extra ticket. The price depends on the distance and varies from 16 kr to 28 kr.
BIKES ON THE METRO
Bicycles can be taken on the metro for an extra 13 kr. You need to pay for the bike with its own ticket. You can't take your bike on the metro during peak hours.
BIKES ON THE BUS
You can bring a bike on a bus but each bus is limited to two bikes, even if there is much space. Generally, people do not travel with their bikes on buses in Copenhagen.
BIKES ON THE FERRY(渡轮)
Charges for bicycles depend on the company and the destination. You will need to check with the ferry companies. When you book the ticket, you must state that you have a cycle, even if it's free of charge.

Humans are very social creatures. In addition to verbal(语言的) communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.
Body language includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture(姿势). It actually developed as a form of communication before humans could speak or write. We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.
In fact, body language is so common that you may not even realize that you are communicating many messages to others every day without even using words. For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word "no" instead of actually saying the word. Or, you might give a "thumbs(拇指) up" to show that you like or agree with something.
But now that we are spending more time online, we may not have as many in-person interactions as before. Because of this, our means of non-verbal communication has changed, but is still an important way to express our thoughts.
Our "digital body language" is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. Instead of using voice messages, we can video chat with our friends to show them our smiling face. Another way to express our emotions digitally is through emojis(表情符号). When we are communicating online, we are only revealing the content and leaving out tones and facial expressions. That's when emojis can help in communication.
Whether using video chat to show our expression or sending an emoji, don't forget the importance of digital body language and non-verbal communication.
4、What does the author mean by saying "Humans are very social creatures"
A. Humans like living in groups. B. Humans need to communicate.
C. Humans depend on each other. D. Humans differ from other beings.
5、Why are the two examples mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To explain how to express no.
B. To prove how much one likes something.
C. To demonstrate how to communicate messages.
D. To show how much we underestimate body language.
6、What makes digital body language more and more important
A. The way of communication. B. The voice messages we use.
C. The time we spend online. D. The invention of emojis.
7、How can emojis help in communication
A. By revealing the content. B. By helping us video chat.
C. By expressing our emotions. D. By leaving out facial expressions.
C
Margot doesn’t have a garbage can. It doesn’t need one because Margot simply doesn’t cause anything to get thrown away. The restaurant doesn’t allow any type of single use plastic. Margot, which opened last year, is one of the small but growing restaurants around the world aiming to avoid not only food leftovers, but also any garbage.
“Food waste has been increasing as an issue for restaurants over the last 10 years” says Calvin Brown. He runs the Sustainable Restaurant Association. Based in the United Kingdom, the organization helps food business become more environmentally responsible. He says that food waste contributes to releasing the greenhouse gas, so there is strong motivation to reduce waste and help the environment.
In the USA, food waste and packing account for nearly half of the material sent to landfills. Restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks are addressing this issue with “no straw Mondays” and limits on single-serving plastic, but a handful of restaurateurs are trying to get rid of rubbish entirely. There’s also economic case to be made for waste reduction. One study shows that restaurants save seven dollars for every dollar invested in anti-waste methods.
Avoiding food waste is the first and perhaps most obvious challenge for sustainable restaurants. Doug McMaster, chef at Silo in London, only serves a set menu. This removes the worry that one particular item won’t sell well, and will spoil in the post(堆肥) is a necessity as well. Nolla (meaning “zero” in Finnish) in Helsinki, Finland is giving compost to its suppliers as well as its diners. Nolla also has food- tracking software more commonly used among corporate food service companies to keep track of what sells and what rots.
Sometimes restaurants call themselves environmentally friendly, but they might just be using the label. Calvin offers some pointers on what to look for to make sure a restaurant is truly committed to sustainability.
8、What does Margot feature
A. Its large size. B. Its opening hours.
C. Its zero-waste goal. D. Its plastic garbage cans.
9、What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Ways of packaging food.
B. The issue of investing in services.
C. The importance of environmental protection.
D. Efforts of some restaurants to reduce rubbish.
10、Which of the following does Nolla try to do
A. Only serve a set menu. B. Hardly use refrigerators.
C. Supply compost to its customers. D. Keep track of diners’ preferences.
11、What does Calvin think restaurants should do
A. Expand food business.
B. Use eco-friendly labels.
C. Save money on dealing with kitchen garbage.
D. Contribute to sustainable development of the food industry.
D
Through an analysis of fMRI brain scan images taken from 138 people, the new artificial intelligence algorithm(算法) achieved an accuracy rate of over 99 percent in detecting potential indicators of Alzheimer's(老人痴呆症). In particular, the method is able to pick out signs of mild cognitive impairment or MCI(轻度认知障碍) —which is the step between cognitive decline (as normally associated with aging) and Alzheimer's. Often, MCI won't come with any physical symptoms that can be spotted. However, it's also important to note that MCI doesn't always necessarily mean Alzheimer's—but it's an important potential indicator of the disease in the future.
While human analysis of fMRI scans for signs of MCI can well adapt to various situations, humans are nowhere near as fast or reliable as deep learning techniques, which learn from vast databases of training data, then apply that knowledge to new data in intelligent ways.
“Of course, we don't dare to suggest that a medical professional should ever rely on any algorithm 100 percent. Think of a machine as a robot capable of doing the most tedious task of sorting the data and searching for features, ” says Rytis Maskeliūnas, an professor from the Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) in Lithuania.
Once the computer software has highlighted potential cases, specialists can then review and confirm them. An earlier diagnosis means earlier treatment, even if we're yet to discover a way of stopping Alzheimer's completely.
“Although this was not the first attempt to diagnose the early onset of Alzheimer's from similar data, our main breakthrough is the accuracy of the algorithm, ” says Maskeliūnas.
Various methods are used to detect Alzheimer's right now, including eye tracking, voice analysis, and even the installation of sensors in people's homes—but AI methods like the one outlined in this new study promise to be faster and simpler.
12.What do we know about MCI
A.It can be identified by AI algorithm.
B.It can be easily discovered by people.
C.It is certainly caused by a certain disease.
D.It brings about apparent physical changes.
13.What is an advantage of human analysis of fMRI scans
A.More reliable. B.More accurate. C.Much faster. D.More flexible.
14.What's author's attitude to AI methods in identifying Alzheimer's
A.Doubtful. B.Neutral. C.Uncertain. D.Favorable.
15.Which can be the best title for the text
A.AI Gained a New Function in Health Care
B.AI Can Offer Early Treatment for Alzheimer's
C.AI Can Identify Signs of Alzheimer's with High Accuracy
D.Modern Technologies Are Helpful in Protecting Our Health

四、语法填空（共10题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
34、答案：①What②to walk③inspiration④is regarded⑤located⑥down⑦flowering⑧a⑨surely⑩peaceful
解析：①考查主语从句。句意:对游客来说,登上泰山是一项挑战。引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指事情应用what,句首单词首字母要大写。故填What。
②考查动词不定式。句意:他们需要3到7个小时才能走完全程。此处为句型it takes sb. some time to do sth.表示"做某事花费某人多少时间"。故填to walk。
③考查不可数名词。句意:千百年来,泰山一直是诗人和思想家的灵感源泉。作介词的宾语,表示"灵感"应用名词inspiration,不可数。故填inspiration。
④考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:山在东方,在中国文化中,东方被视为一个神圣的方向,因为那是太阳和月亮升起的地方。因此,泰山是中国五大神山中最神圣的一座。结合句意表示"被看作……"短语为be regarded as,陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为east,谓语用单数。故填is regarded。
⑤考查过去分词。句意:从位于数百座山峰中的玉皇峰,我们有幸看到了晴朗的日出。分析句子结构可知locate在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语Jade Emperor Peak构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填located。
⑥考查介词。句意:之后,我们步行了大约5个小时下山,穿过桃花谷,这是一条美丽的路,穿过开花的桃树和水潭。结合句意表示"下山"应用介词down。故填down。
⑦考查形容词。句意:之后,我们步行了大约5个小时下山,穿过桃花谷,这是一条美丽的路,穿过开花的桃树和水潭。修饰名词trees应用形容词flowering。故填flowering。
⑧考查不定冠词。句意:山上的绿色植物让我有了一次奇妙的攀登,对我来说,第二天的山谷徒步旅行肯定是最精彩的,不仅仅是因为没有台阶。climb此处为泛指一次奇妙的攀登,且fantastic是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
⑨考查副词。句意:山上的绿色植物让我有了一次奇妙的攀登,对我来说,第二天的山谷徒步旅行肯定是最精彩的,不仅仅是因为没有台阶。修饰句子应用副词surely,作状语。故填surely。
⑩考查形容词。句意:那里很宁静,让我可以欣赏到我从高处看到的更大的景象。作表语,表示"宁静"应用形容词peaceful。故填peaceful。

(2) reason改为reasons. 考查可数名词的复数。句意:我的选择有三个原因。前面有大于- -的数字，所以用名词复数，故reason改为reasons。

(4) Losing改为Lost.考查过去分词。句意:沉浸在英国文学中，我找到了-种满足感。根据固定搭配be lost in "沉浸于"，可知用过去分词作状语，故Losing改为Lost.
(5) increasing改为 increasingly.考查副词。句意:更重要的是，众所周知，英国文学确实在我们的日常生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色。修饰形容词，所以用副词，故increasing改为 increasingly.
(6) establish改为establishes. 考查主谓一致。 句意:它不仅丰富了我们的思想，而且还建立了我们与外国人之间的文化和情感联系。和enriches并列作谓语，所以用第三人称单数形式，故establish改为establishes。

(10)去掉that.考查句子结构。句意:如果您能尽快回复我，我将不胜感激。it作形式宾语，后跟if引导宾语从句，所以that多余，故去掉that。
