People have been enjoying the benefits of cycling（骑自行车） in Amsterdam for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam “City of Bicycles”because of the convenience for bicycles there.
In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city center and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighborhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came-- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!
However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike’ is back in town--this time with a computer chip（芯片） to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert a special card. The new “white bike”is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.
There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.
24. Amsterdam is called the “City of Bicycles”because of_________.
A. the cycling fans there B. the appearance of bicycles
C. the quality of bicycles D. the convenience for bicycles
25. In the 1960s, some cycling fans hoped bikes could_________.
A. help to save energy B. be specially designed
C. be placed anywhere D. be painted in different colours
26. Why did the first “white bike”plan fail?
A. People were tired of riding bikes.
B. There were not enough parking places.
C. Thieves took all the bikes within weeks.
D. The government allowed people to drive cars freely.
27. What do people use if they want to take a “white bike”in the city?
A. A white key. B. A special card.
C. A special computer. D. A common chip.
C
With more recognition than Halloween and less than Christmas,Valentine's Day as an imported festival faces a dangerous situation in China,where it's caught between forces of tradition and fashion.Valentine's Day has a natural enemy in China.And it is not the Chinese equivalent,which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar,usually around half a year away from Feb.14.It is the Spring Festival,also known as the Chinese New Year,that will influence the Feast of Saint Valentine.
The real disagreement between East and West probably took place over a century ago,when China's door was forced open by Western powers and Chinese scholars supported westernization as a means to strengthen our nation's ability to compete.
The introduction of the solar calendar and Western measurements was both an acknowledgment of their influence and an effort to be accepted by the world order.
For a full century,we have had two systems running in parallel.When it comes to the eventual outcome,practicality usually beats all other concerns.Laws can help,such as the three traditional festivals of Tomb Sweeping,Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn gaining legal status in 2008 and giving every Chinese citizen a day off,but laws cannot push what people have no feelings for.So,the celebration or boycott of imported holidays or homegrown ones should be no cause for worry.If they are irrelevant,no social media will change the public's mind； and if they are accepted,there must be a need which they happen to satisfy.
Since we have no global Qin Shihuang to force one system on every country,we can always rely on a dual （双重的） approach by which we share with the outside world on the one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other.
28.?What does the author think about Valentine's Day in present China? ______
A.?It meets with a natural enemy.
B.?It is better known than Christmas.
C.?It strongly attacks Chinese culture.
D.?It is more popular with young people.
29.?The underlined word "equivalent”in the first paragraph refers to ______ .
A.?the Dragon-boat Festival
B.?the Spring Festival
C.?the Mid-autumn Festival
D.?the Chinese Valentine's Day
30.?According to the author,the leading factor to decide what to celebrate is ______ .
A.?current laws
B.?people's needs
C.?public media
D.?age-old tradition
31.?The author believes that ______ .
A.?the conflict between the East and the West will last long
B.?Chinese festivals are to be paid more attention to in years
C.?both Chinese and foreign systems of festivals can co-exist in China
D.?this cultural shock is normal and will be received by more people in the future
D
Not having done physical exercise for some time, I found myself a little low-spirited and couldn't study efficiently, so I decided to do some running the next day. At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm clock rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went out.
Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it deeply. I stretched（伸展） my arms and legs, then started to run. I found all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me； the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say, "Come on, girl.” What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They were scared and flew away when I passed them. "Hey, chaps, relax.” I shouted without stopping running. "Let's enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then the miracle（奇迹） happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered（吱吱叫） around me. "Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twittered again and again, sounded like "yes". I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life is!
Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Helen Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The seeing see little.” Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them. They always complain that life is boring. But I just want to say, if you live each day with appreciation of things around, you'll find life is very charming. So, let's enjoy life from now on.
32. According to the passage, the writer went running with the purpose of ______ .
A. making herself more active
B. seeing the beauty of nature
C. talking with birds
D. breathing fresh air
33. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? ______
A. The writer enjoyed the singing of the two birds.
B. The writer rose immediately after the clock went off.
C. The writer did some warmup exercises before running.
D. The writer felt refreshed after doing some running in the morning.
34. What does the underlined sentence "The seeing see little." in the last paragraph mean? ______
A. People who can see hardly find the beauty of nature.
B. Those who can see enjoy nature much more than the blind.
C. People who go sightseeing can see little.
D. Those who go out only see little things.
35. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to tell us that ______ .
A. the nature in the morning is very beautiful
B. fresh air is beneficial
C. physical exercise is useful
D. we should appreciate the beautiful things in life

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Things to Remember When You’re Having a Bad Day
Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down? Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day.
No one promised life would be perfect.
36 Don’t base your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. It is good to be ambitious, but you’ll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.
37
Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isn’t easy to be patient, but anything worth doing requires time. 38 .
Without hard times, you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to give up, that is strength. 39 . It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failures as a part of your growing process, you’ll stay positive and follow your goals for as long as it takes.
It’s OK to cry sometimes.
Do not apologize for crying. Without this feeling, we are only robots. Don’t be afraid of crying. 40 Instead, it is an acceptable way to let go of your depressed feelings. If you let those feelings build up without release, you’ll have a much harder time dealing with them later.
Don’t get sad if you lose.
It isn’t a sign of weakness.
Success doesn’t happen overnight.
It’s not OK to worry now and then.
Don’t compare your life with others’.
Remember: Rome was not built in a day.
If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content.
