Eiffel tower ticket prices
Carry minimal belongings
The Eiffel Tower does not have a locker room, so you will have to carry your belongings with you during
the entirety of your visit. When you are caught in awe, it’s easy for eagle-eyed opportunists to do their tricks.
Be mindful and carry minimal belongings such as your wallet, tickets, ID proof, and a water bottle. There is
no left-luggage facility for non-permitted items, like wheeled suitcases, large luggage, non-folding buggies (童
车) at the Eiffel Tower.
21. Which of the following may not be shown on the e-ticket
A. The visitor’s name. B. The visiting time.
C. The reduced rate. D. The ticket price.
22. What’s the charge for a couple with twins aged 8 who take the lift to the top
A. 42.30?. B. 47.00?. C. 66.20?. D. 73.60?.
23. What should you know when visiting the Eiffel Tower
A. Caution can help avoid theft. B. Drinks can’t be taken in the lift.
C. Your bag can be kept in a locker. D. Folding buggies are not allowed.

I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained
such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we
sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole
number Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is
only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different,
they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different
My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation: 1= 0.9, which could also be expressed
as 1=0.99999… repeating itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but attractive about the equation. The left side was unchangeable,
objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself
第 3 页 共 9 页
limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the
equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of
the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and
death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the
open future.
So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with
two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly
numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that: 1= 0.99999… and live
a life like it.
24. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1
A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins.
C. Their different sounds. D. Their expressive power.
25. What may the number “1” refer to
A. Valuable chances. B. Definite facts.
C. Creativity imagination. D. Social development.
26. What made the author find the equation attractive
A. The repetition of a number. B. The difference between the two numbers.
C. The question the teacher raised. D. The way two different numbers are equal.
27. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build Equations
C. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform Numbers
C
Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe,
and found that it is “eating” its host galaxy to death.
The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the James Webb Space Telescope
(JWST) to detect the black hole, which dates from 400 million years after the big bang. The results, which lead
author Professor Roberto Maiolino says are “a giant leap forward”, are reported in the journal Nature.
That this surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe challenges our assumptions
about how black holes form and grow. The size of this newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might
form in other ways: they might be ‘born big’ or they can eat matter at a rate that’s five times higher than had
been thought possible. Like all black holes, this young black hole devours material from its host galaxy to fuel
its growth.
According to standard models, supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars, which
collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the mass of the Sun. If it grew in an expected way,
this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to its observed size. However, the
universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected.
The young host galaxy, called GN-z11, is a compact galaxy, about one hundred times smaller than the
第 4 页 共 9 页
Milky Way, but the black hole is likely harming its development. When black holes consume too much gas, it
pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This “wind” could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing
the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black hole’s source of “food”.
Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his
career. “It’s a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo’s telescope to a modern telescope overnight,”
he said. “The universe has been quite generous in what it’s showing us, and this is just the beginning.”
28. What does the underlined word “devours” mean in paragraph 3
A. Changes. B. Swallows. C. Observes. D. Forms.
29. According to paragraph 5, why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed
A. Because the host galaxy is too small.
B. Because the black hole is killing itself.
C. Because the “wind” ceases star formation.
D. Because black holes produce too much gas.
30. What is Maiolino’s attitude to the new discovery about the black hole
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Ambiguous.
31. What can we learn from this passage
A. The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size.
B. Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight.
C. The new discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward.
D. The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the “wind”.
D
Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a
nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea.
And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole,
baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two.
Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close
together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine
biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he
argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).
Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by
filtering them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to
eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the
part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs,
which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to
eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special
gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.
Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the
images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound
第 5 页 共 9 页
is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.
The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears
them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species.
Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils
that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides
allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner
lies.
32. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs
A. They are adapted ones. B. They are developed merely for smell.
C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are fixed universally in numbers.
33. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton
A. The teeth that baleen whales have.
B. The smell that phytoplankton send.
C. The sound waves that zooplankton create.
D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.
34. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4
A. By quoting a theory. B. By using examples.
C. By making contrast. D. By making inferences.
35. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph
A. The sense of smell. B. The possibility to attract food.
C. The ability to locate food. D. The ability to communicate.

Top Tips for Writing Richer Characters
What’s the secret to writing the best story of your life It starts with characterization. 36
Through your characters’ eyes, readers not only understand your world but also see themselves in your
characters. Relatable characters help readers learn lessons that impact them long after finishing the book. So
how do you build strong characters
Make them human. Your goal is to create unique characters. Uniqueness requires more than simply
combining strange personal qualities. You have to dig deeper than that. 37 You must know where the
characters come from and how their past experiences will influence their future choices.
Your characters also need self-motivation and faults to be believable. They won’t feel reliable if
they’re only moving as agents of the plot, and the story won’t either. No human can see themselves as perfect
and faultless. 38 For a character to be relatable, a reader needs to see themselves in that character.
39 When your characters make bad choices, it doesn’t destroy the story. Your story is about
those characters’ choices. Allow your characters to experience the consequences of their bad decisions. So,
you can develop your characters further throughout the rest of your story. Make sure you document how your
第 6 页 共 9 页
characters grow. Otherwise, they become bound by the plot and lose their relatability.
Describe the central conflict from hero’s and opponent’s view. A deep understanding of both sides is
vital to creating balance in your story. Both characters have motivations, desires, and fears, making the conflict
richer and more engaging. It prevents any character from falling into stereotypes. 40
A. Make a path of progress.
B. Focus on their backstory.
C. Understand what your readers want.
D. Great stories develop from believable characters.
E. Your human readers will reject a perfect character.
F. A good character possesses many positive personal qualities.
G. Instead, they become multi-dimensional with their own logic.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The boys in the block were going to have a roller-skating (滑旱冰) race next Saturday. They were divided
into two teams: the Sunnysiders and the Shadysiders, with five boys on each team. Andy was on the
Sunnysiders. They lost last year, so they were desperate to win this time. But Andy knew his short legs made
it hard for him to skate fast.
One day, Andy was greeted by a pleasant “Hello” as he was putting on his roller-skates. He looked up and
saw his new neighbor, Francis. “Hello!” he replied cheerfully, noticing his neighbor’s long legs. “Wanna skate
with me Look at your long legs! Just the right kind to make you a good skater.” “I’d love to. You know, I’m
really good at roller skating and I used to help my team win.” Francis said, his tone now heavy with sadness.
“But I lost my roller skates and my mom just cannot afford to buy me another pair.”
Andy thought it was a shame for Francis. As a new comer, there were undoubtedly many moments when
he must have felt lonely. Andy thought to himself, wondering what he could do for Francis. But he had to say
goodbye in a hurry since the team were meeting in the open space on the corner to talk over some plans.
When talking to the team captain, Andy suggested adding another boy to their team, Francis. But the
captain said “No” as the team knew nothing about him. Besides, the Shadysiders wouldn’t let them take on an
extra player.
In the following days, Andy practiced very hard with his team. Then came the day before the race when
he saw Francis on the sidewalk, watching them skate past, his eyes filled with a sense of loss. Somehow it
upset Andy, and his desire to help his new neighbor resurfaced. Then he thought of a way that could not only
help his team win, but help Francis fit in.

M: So how are the new neighbors
W:Well, I must say I’m quite pleased so far. It’s early days, of course — they’ve only been there for a couple of

M: Have you invited them round yet
W:Well, no, I haven’t had a chance. ⑦You see, they’ve asked me to go to their house on two occasions already
