Beijing was the first Chinese city to be equipped with a subway station in 1971. By the end of 2020 Beijing subway had had 24 subway lines in operation, 428 subway stations, and covered a total route length of 727 kilometers.
Quick Facts about the Beijing Subway
The Beijing Subway is the world’s second-largest subway system by route and length, following the Shanghai Metro.
By the end of 2019, the Beijing Subway has been equipped with automatic ticket machines that can scan smartphones for payment.
Subway logo: The Beijing Subway logo, located at subway access points, is a white ‘G’ with a ‘B’ inside it on a square blue background.
Beijing Subway Tickets Price
Downtown Subway Prices
The prices of Beijing subway tickets are based on distance traveled, starting from 3 yuan for the first 6 kilometers (4 miles) except the Airport Express. After 6 km, the price increases by 1 yuan for each further 6 km until the trip distance reaches 30 km (20 miles). So, a 40-km (25-mile) trip would also cost 7 yuan.
Airport Express Subway Ticket Prices
The Capital Airport Express ticket price is fixed at 25 yuan per ride. The prices of Daxing Airport Express are divided into different classes. The ordinary class price varies with distance from 10 yuan to 35 yuan and the business class price is fixed at 50 yuan per ride.
How to Buy the Tickets
In Beijing, most passengers pay for their tickets by Transportation Smart Card (Yikatong). Passengers can buy the card or tickets at ticket counters or vending machines in every station.

When people wanted to find their way to a place in the past, they used to have to buy a map. They don’t have to do that any more. Now they can either buy a GPS, or go online and find maps for just about anywhere.
Is this an improvement Perhaps, but some people think some of the online companies are going too far, because they have been sending out cars with photographic equipment on their roofs, to photograph every street and house in the country.
One of these cars arrived on a Wednesday morning in the quiet English village of Broughton. The camera was on a metre-high pole on top of the car and could see over walls and into people’s gardens. Some of the villagers came and stood around the car, and asked the driver and photographer to go away. Journalists quickly arrived on the scene, and soon the event was news all over the country.
Of course, the online company in question claims that it is simply collecting information that people on the Internet want. But Broughton residents feel differently. “We used to have privacy in this country. Now companies just come and take photographs of our homes without even asking,” said one resident. “It’s not right. We mustn’t let this happen. We mustn’t lose our right to live privately.”
There is, of course, no law to prevent people from taking photographs of houses, so the residents cannot go to court. But many people are asking the question: OK, it’s legal, but is it right This is a question that won’t go away very quickly.
4. Why did the car with a camera on the car roof come to Broughton
A. To test whether their GPS works in the village.
B. To investigate for a law case for the country.
C. To spy on villagers and their life in Broughton.
D. To collect information for their online maps.
5. What can be inferred about the incident in Broughton
A. The incident drew people’s attention all over the world.
B. The incident made online maps popular among the local residents.
C. The local residents were curious about what these people were doing.
D. The local residents were upset about their privacy not being respected.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The law should be changed to protect the residents.
B. The incident will remain a hot topic for people to discuss.
C. The residents accept what the company was doing in their neighborhood.
D. The residents can sue (控告) the company for violating their privacy.
7. What can be the best title of the passage
A. A strange car! B. It’s legal, but is it right
C. Say goodbye to paper maps. D. Privacy gives way to technology.
C
There are two ways to forget about troubles in life: music and cats.
At the Hey Cat Cafe in Wuhan, Hubei Province, you can have both. About 30 furry creatures, each wearing a red burp cloth with its name on it, welcome and “serve” the guests. The “employees” are all stray (流浪的) black cats, most of whom were rescued by caring people after being abandoned by their owners.
Opened in September 2021, the cafe is one of the first nonprofit cat cafes in China. Manager Du Fan told China Daily that all the profits are used to help homeless animals.
The 41-year-old said he opened the black cat cafe to dispel (消除) the myth that such cats are “inauspicious”, as described in some movies and TV dramas. Over the past 17 years, a lot of people have come to Du to adopt cats, but many said they didn’t want black cats. “Actually, in traditional Chinese culture, black cats can drive away evil spirits and bring luck. They should be mascots (吉祥物),” he said. So are black cats as reserved and mysterious as folk tales suggest Well, perhaps not.
Hearing two young women open the door, six or so passionate “cafe workers” waited and greeted them. When the visitors sat down, one cat rubbed against the bottom of one woman’s pants, while another climbed onto her knee. Some of the cats simply fell asleep against the guests’ legs.
While these cats are rescued, they also help people with developmental or social anxiety disorders learn to open their hearts. “Cats possess certain qualities that humans don’t have,” Du added. “Many people with psychological problems can find comfort in cats.”
8. How do the cats “serve” guests at the Hey Cat Cafe
A. They can bring coffee to customers.
B. They can really serve the guests.
C. They can help reduce people’s anxiety.
D. They can wear a red burp cloth.
9. Which of the following words can best describe Du Fan, the owner of the cafe
A. Loving and charitable. B. Cat-addicted and strange.
C. Creative and modest. D. Moody and generous.
10. What does the underlined word “inauspicious” most probably mean
A. Stupid. B. Lovely. C. Unlucky. D. Lazy.
11. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To make an introduction to a cat cafe.
B. To call on people to protect homeless animals.
C. To inform people that black cats can be mascots.
D. To introduce what people can do with homeless cats.
D
Five months ago, a new species of box jellyfish was discovered in Hong Kong. It is a relative of the deadly Australian box jellyfish, one of the most venomous (有毒的) animals on Earth. One sting (刺伤) from it can kill a person in minutes.
A university team in Hong Kong, led by Qiu Jianwen from the Hong Kong Baptist University, discovered it at the Mai Po Nature Reserve, a local wetland area. It was the first discovery of a new box jellyfish species in Chinese waters.
But it’s not the first time biology professor Qiu has discovered a new creature. He’s made more than 30 discoveries in about 20 years spent exploring new marine (海洋的) animals.
Qiu doesn’t go looking for new species on purpose. In 2014, he did research on the health of coral in Hong Kong waters. To learn more, Qiu and his team needed to find all of the coral species involved. And in doing so, they discovered four new coral species.
Finding new species reminds Qiu of how biologically diverse Hong Kong’s waters are. Hong Kong takes up just 0.03 percent of China’s total marine area, yet it is home to more than 25 percent of all marine species recorded in China, a report by the University of Hong Kong showed.
However, Hong Kong’s marine animals face threats, due to factors including habitat loss, climate change and overuse of natural resources.
Although action is being taken, it focuses more on bigger creatures, like dolphins and birds. “Many marine species are small and they are often overlooked. If these species were to become extinct, few people would notice or care. But for me, each one has its rightful place,” said Qiu.
He hopes everyone can recognize the importance of the ocean. “When more people show concern for the ocean, we are, in fact, acting for our own benefit,” he said.
12. Where was the new species of box jellyfish found
A. In a university lab of HK. B. In the ocean of Australia.
C. In a nature reserve of HK. D. In a wetland of Australia.
13. What was Qiu’s task in 2014
A. To find new species of coral for the study.
B. To study the health condition of coral.
C. To study the living environment of coral.
D. To find all coral species in the world.
14. What can we know about the marine animals in HK
A. All of them are dying out.
B. No action is being taken to protect them.
C. Habitat loss is the biggest threat to them.
D. Some of them were discovered by chance.
15. What can be inferred according to the last two paragraphs
A. Small marine species aren’t protected as they deserve.
B. Bigger creatures like dolphins and birds should be better protected.
C. People are now taking action to better protect small marine species.
D. More and more people are aware of the extinction of small marine species.

Finally, the bell rang. “Don’t forget to practice your class presentation at home!” Miss Bella cried as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jessy felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jessy was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jessy watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain so rt of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jessy sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jessy knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jessy bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jessy put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jessy laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain so rt of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jessy saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Bella asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jessy slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Bella could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jessy, waiting for an explanation.

Miss Bella smiled and asked the class to listen to Jessy’s speech first

After 6 km, the price increases by 1 yuan for each further 6 km until the trip distance reaches 30 km (20 miles). So, a 40-km (25-mile) trip would also cost 7 yuan.
Airport Express Subway Ticket Prices
The Capital Airport Express ticket price is fixed at 25 yuan per ride. The prices of Daxing Airport Express are divided into different classes. The ordinary class price varies with distance from 10 yuan to 35 yuan and the business class price is fixed at 50 yuan per ride.
How to Buy the Tickets
In Beijing, most passengers pay for their tickets by Transportation Smart Card (Yikatong). Passengers can buy the card or tickets at ticket counters or vending machines in every station. If you are going to stay in Beijing for a long time, the Smart Card is much better for your transit in Beijing. Since 2017, single-trip tickets can be purchased with a mobile phone app.

When people wanted to find their way to a place in the past, they used to have to buy a map. They don’t have to do that any more. Now they can either buy a GPS, or go online and find maps for just about anywhere.
Is this an improvement Perhaps, but some people think some of the online companies are going too far, because they have been sending out cars with photographic equipment on their roofs, to photograph every street and house in the country.
One of these cars arrived on a Wednesday morning in the quiet English village of Broughton. The camera was on a metre-high pole on top of the car and could see over walls and into people’s gardens. Some of the villagers came and stood around the car, and asked the driver and photographer to go away. Journalists quickly arrived on the scene, and soon the event was news all over the country.
Of course, the online company in question claims that it is simply collecting information that people on the Internet want. But Broughton residents feel differently. “We used to have privacy in this country. Now companies just come and take photographs of our homes without even asking,” said one resident. “It’s not right. We mustn’t let this happen. We mustn’t lose our right to live privately.”
There is, of course, no law to prevent people from taking photographs of houses, so the residents cannot go to court. But many people are asking the question: OK, it’s legal, but is it right This is a question that won’t go away very quickly.
4. Why did the car with a camera on the car roof come to Broughton
A. To test whether their GPS works in the village.
B. To investigate for a law case for the country.
C. To spy on villagers and their life in Broughton.
D. To collect information for their online maps.
5. What can be inferred about the incident in Broughton
A. The incident drew people’s attention all over the world.
B. The incident made online maps popular among the local residents.
C. The local residents were curious about what these people were doing.
D. The local residents were upset about their privacy not being respected.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The law should be changed to protect the residents.
B. The incident will remain a hot topic for people to discuss.
C. The residents accept what the company was doing in their neighborhood.
D The residents can sue (控告) the company for violating their privacy.
7. What can be the best title of the passage
A. A strange car! B. It’s legal, but is it right
C. Say goodbye to paper maps. D. Privacy gives way to technology.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. B

There are two ways to forget about troubles in life: music and cats.
At the Hey Cat Cafe in Wuhan, Hubei Province, you can have both. About 30 furry creatures, each wearing a red burp cloth with its name on it, welcome and “serve” the guests. The “employees” are all stray (流浪的) black cats, most of whom were rescued by caring people after being abandoned by their owners.
Opened in September 2021, the cafe is one of the first nonprofit cat cafes in China. Manager Du Fan told China Daily that all the profits are used to help homeless animals.
The 41-year-old said he opened the black cat cafe to dispel (消除) the myth that such cats are “inauspicious”, as described in some movies and TV dramas. Over the past 17 years, a lot of people have come to Du to adopt cats, but many said they didn’t want black cats. “Actually, in traditional Chinese culture, black cats can drive away evil spirits and bring luck. They should be mascots (吉祥物),” he said. So are black cats as reserved and mysterious as folk tales suggest Well, perhaps not.
Hearing two young women open the door, six or so passionate “cafe workers” waited and greeted them. When the visitors sat down, one cat rubbed against the bottom of one woman’s pants, while another climbed onto her knee. Some of the cats simply fell asleep against the guests’ legs.
While these cats are rescued, they also help people with developmental or social anxiety disorders learn to open their hearts. “Cats possess certain qualities that humans don’t have,” Du added. “Many people with psychological problems can find comfort in cats.”
8. How do the cats “serve” guests at the Hey Cat Cafe
A. They can bring coffee to customers.
B. They can really serve the guests.
C. They can help reduce people’s anxiety.
D. They can wear a red burp cloth.
9. Which of the following words can best describe Du Fan, the owner of the cafe
A. Loving and charitable. B. Cat-addicted and strange.
C. Creative and modest. D. Moody and generous.
10. What does the underlined word “inauspicious” most probably mean
A. Stupid. B. Lovely. C. Unlucky. D. Lazy.
11. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To make an introduction to a cat cafe.
B. To call on people to protect homeless animals.
C. To inform people that black cats can be mascots.
D. To introduce what people can do with homeless cats.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. A

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了湖北武汉的嘿Cat咖啡馆，这是一家非营利性的咖啡馆，收留了被遗弃的流浪猫，店主杜帆把经营所得收入都用于帮助无家可归的动物，同时希望能破除黑猫不详的想法，而这些猫会帮助客人缓解焦虑，给予他们安慰。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While these cats are rescued, they also help people with developmental or social anxiety disorders learn to open their hearts. (虽然这些猫被拯救了，但它们也帮助患有发展障碍或社交焦虑症的人学会敞开心扉)”和杜帆所说的话“Many people with psychological problems can find comfort in cats. (许多有心理问题的人可以在猫身上找到安慰)”可知，这家咖啡馆里的猫可以帮助减少顾客的焦虑，给予他们安慰，从而达到服务顾客的效果。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The “employees” are all stray (流浪的) black cats, most of whom were rescued by caring people after being abandoned by their owners. (这些“员工”都是流浪的黑猫，它们大多是被主人遗弃后，被有爱心的人救出的)”和第三段“Opened in September 2021, the cafe is one of the first nonprofit cat cafes in China. Manager Du Fan told China Daily that all the profits are used to help homeless animals. (这家咖啡馆于2021年9月开业，是中国首批非营利性猫咪咖啡馆之一。经理杜帆告诉《中国日报》，所有的利润都用于帮助无家可归的动物)”可知，杜帆收留了这些被遗弃的流浪猫，经营的是非营利性的咖啡馆，会把所得收入都用于帮助无家可归的动物。由此可知，他是一个富有爱心且慈善的人。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词的下文“Over the past 17 years, a lot of people have come to Du to adopt cats, but many said they didn’t want black cats. (在过去的17年里，很多人来杜这里领养猫，但很多人说他们不想要黑猫)”和杜帆所说的话“Actually, in traditional Chinese culture, black cats can drive away evil spirits and bring luck. (实际上，在中国传统文化中，黑猫可以驱邪，带来好运)”可知，很多想领养的人都因为猫的颜色放弃了，杜帆想破除大家的传统想法，表示黑猫实际上代表好运。由此可知，此处指黑猫被认为是“不吉利的，不祥的”，inauspicious意思应该与unlucky一致。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“At the Hey Cat Cafe in Wuhan, Hubei Province, you can have both. About 30 furry creatures, each wearing a red burp cloth with its name on it, welcome and “serve” the guests. (在湖北武汉的嘿Cat咖啡馆，你可以两样都拥有。大约有30只毛茸茸的动物，每只都穿着一块红色的打嗝布，上面写着自己的名字，欢迎并“服务”客人)”可知，文章围绕湖北武汉的嘿Cat咖啡馆展开，介绍了这是一家非营利性的咖啡馆，收留了被遗弃的流浪猫，店主杜帆把经营所得收入都用于帮助无家可归的动物，同时希望能破除黑猫不详的想法，而这些猫会帮助客人缓解焦虑，给予他们安慰。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了介绍这样一家猫咪咖啡馆，让人们更了解它。故选A项。

Five months ago, a new species of box jellyfish was discovered in Hong Kong. It is a relative of the deadly Australian box jellyfish, one of the most venomous (有毒的) animals on Earth. One sting (刺伤) from it can kill a person in minutes.
A university team in Hong Kong, led by Qiu Jianwen from the Hong Kong Baptist University, discovered it at the Mai Po Nature Reserve, a local wetland area. It was the first discovery of a new box jellyfish species in Chinese waters.
But it’s not the first time biology professor Qiu has discovered a new creature. He’s made more than 30 discoveries in about 20 years spent exploring new marine (海洋的) animals.
Qiu doesn’t go looking for new species on purpose. In 2014, he did research on the health of coral in Hong Kong waters. To learn more, Qiu and his team needed to find all of the coral species involved. And in doing so, they discovered four new coral species.
Finding new species reminds Qiu of how biologically diverse Hong Kong’s waters are. Hong Kong takes up just 0.03 percent of China’s total marine area, yet it is home to more than 25 percent of all marine species recorded in China, a report by the University of Hong Kong showed.
However, Hong Kong’s marine animals face threats, due to factors including habitat loss, climate change and overuse of natural resources.
Although action is being taken, it focuses more on bigger creatures, like dolphins and birds. “Many marine species are small and they are often overlooked. If these species were to become extinct, few people would notice or care. But for me, each one has its rightful place,” said Qiu.
He hopes everyone can recognize the importance of the ocean. “When more people show concern for the ocean, we are, in fact, acting for our own benefit,” he said.
12. Where was the new species of box jellyfish found
A. In a university lab of HK. B. In the ocean of Australia.
C. In a nature reserve of HK. D. In a wetland of Australia.
13. What was Qiu’s task in 2014
A. To find new species of coral for the study.
B. To study the health condition of coral.
C. To study the living environment of coral.
D. To find all coral species in the world.
14. What can we know about the marine animals in HK
A. All of them are dying out.
B. No action is being taken to protect them.
C. Habitat loss is the biggest threat to them.
D. Some of them were discovered by chance.
15. What can be inferred according to the last two paragraphs
A. Small marine species aren’t protected as they deserve.
B. Bigger creatures like dolphins and birds should be better protected.
C. People are now taking action to better protect small marine species.
D. More and more people are aware of the extinction of small marine species.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

He’s made more than 30 discoveries in about 20 years spent exploring new marine (海洋的) animals.(但这并不是邱教授第一次发现一种新生物。在探索新的海洋动物的20年里，他有了30多项发现。)”和文章第四段“Qiu doesn’t go looking for new species on purpose.(邱并不是故意去寻找新物种的。)”可推知，一些香港的海洋生物是偶然发现的。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Although action is being taken, it focuses more on bigger creatures, like dolphins and birds. “Many marine species are small and they are often overlooked. If these species were to become extinct, few people would notice or care. But for me, each one has its rightful place,” said Qiu.(虽然正在采取行动，但它更多地关注海豚和鸟类等大型生物。“许多海洋物种都很小，经常被忽视。如果这些物种灭绝了，很少有人会注意到或关心。但对我来说，每一个都有它应有的位置。”)”可推知，小型海洋物种没有得到应有的保护。故选A。

Finally, the bell rang. “Don’t forget to practice your class presentation at home!” Miss Bella cried as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jessy felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jessy was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jessy watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain so rt of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jessy sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jessy knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jessy bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jessy put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jessy laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain so rt of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jessy saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Bella asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jessy slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Bella could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jessy, waiting for an explanation. A flush of embarrassment came to her cheeks, making Jessy biting her lips. Dead silence suddenly fell. Then came Miss Bella’s voice, “Why is Lee’s watch on your wrist ” Jessy hesitated for a while and decided to tell the truth. However, on second thoughts of the well-prepared speech and the magic of the watch, she changed her mind. “Miss Bella, could I give the speech first and then explain ” She made a request in a tone of begging.
Miss Bella smiled and asked the class to listen to Jessy’s speech first. Jessy put away her fright, took a deep breath, and made for the platform. Casting a glance at the sea of faces watching her, Jessy cleared her throat and began her speech. “I’m going to talk about swimming...” Word began to flood out of her. “What a terrific speech.” Whispers went around the classroom, and even Miss Bella nodded with approval. Immediately Jessy finished her speech, a storm of applause erupted from the class. Relieved, Jessy told everyone the truth, and especially the magic of the watch. She returned the watch to Lee as she eventually realized the real source of confidence.
