You haven’t truly visited a city until you’ve experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city likeLondongradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touchingsome of the nicest areas in centralLondon? Let’s get started.

6:30 pm

The walk starts on theMillenniumBridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.

TheMillenniumBridgehas been featured in many London-based films, includingHarry Potter, and the filmGuardians of the Galaxy.

7:30 pm

It’s getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest fromSt Paul’s Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.

9:00 pm

The next stop isLondonBridge. This is about 6 minutes’ walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of “LondonBridgeis Falling Down”, you get lost again in history. Why does the song sayLondonBridgeis falling and who is the fair lady?

During theLondoncity fire of 17,LondonBridgeserved an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side ofLondon.

11:30 pm

Londonnever sleeps; it’s a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges isTrafalgar Square, our next stop.

B

My entire life has been influenced by the fact that I stand way above the average height for both men and women. I was born two weeks late. When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, \"Are you okay?!\"

I was healthy, but very shy as a child and into my teens. I'm from a small town, and I grew up and graduated with the same 50 people. I started playing basketball in third grade every Saturday, but I didn't have any control over my awkward body. (I didn't even score a point in a game until many years later.) I was 5-foot-10 in fourth grade. I had a small group of friends in elementary school, but sometimes the boys picked on me, calling me a bean pole or the Jolly Green Giant. I still remember my embarrassment when they laughed at me, and how badly I wanted to be invisible.

In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my height (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance.I was forced into the spotlight wherever I went.

With high school came more confidence. I had success in school, the arts and sports. I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. During my senior year I was the conference champion in high jump and the 400-meter run. The friendships I gained through my involvement in high school boosted my confidence and helped me develop a sense of humor. Now when a stranger told me I was tall I would smile and nod or, if I was feeling determined, I would pretend to feel shocked and thank them for telling me. I had no idea!

Still, society keeps me aware of my status as something rare. And even though people tell me I'm beautiful and I should be a model, there are times when I would trade in my long legs for a small frame and tiny feet. I often wish people weren't so rude. I'm a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted

me didn't intend to. I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive. 4. What can be inferred from Para.1?

A. The writer's height has something to do with her late birth. B. Grandmother was unwilling to have the writer as her grandchild. C. The writer failed to have a successful life because of her unusual height.

D. The writer was heavier and bigger compared with other babies when she was born. 5. By saying 'I was forced into the spotlight', the author probably means that she ________. A.was criticized by others B. caught public attention C. was threatened D. felt inferior

6. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as the writer's experiences in high school? A. She quit playing basketball and joined the track and field team. B. She no longer felt upset when facing her height problem. C. She had a passion for some sports events. D. She built up more confidence. 7. What does the last sentence imply? A. People enjoy making fun of others. B. People are bad andcannot be trusted. C. People tend to bully those who are weaker. D. People sometimes care little about how others feel.

C

Recently, I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers (消费者) could buy a 4,000 square foot house for $1.6 million and get a smaller home bythe developer valued at $400 thousand for free. This sounds like a fantastic deal, but I am alwayswary ofany promotion labeled (给……加标签) with“buy one get one free”, and here is why.

Oftentimes, “buy one get one free” ends up being “buy two at the regularprice”. For example, I often see “buy one get one free” ads for orange juice at the supermarket, but the first box always costs over $5.00. At the same time, the juices not in the promotion are selling for $2.50 to $2.99 a box.

Another problem with “buy one get one free” is that oftentimes you do not need the second item. I only consume one gallon of milk every two weeks. If I were talked into buying a second gallon in a “buy one get one free” promotion, then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it. That creates waste

instead of savings.

In the case of theSan Diegodeveloper, so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses, but the buyer does not want the cheaper house for free. Instead, he wants the value of the smaller home taken away from his purchase price. I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of “buy one get one free”.

Finally, it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend. Knowing the regular price of things also helps you in deciding whether a “buy one get one free” promotion is truly a great deal. 8. What does the underlined part “wary of” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. annoyed at B. careful about C. familiar with D. puzzled about 9. Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3? A. To show that there are many promotions of food. B.To suggest that people think twice before they shop.

C. To prove that the second item isn’t always as good as the first one. D. To show that people often buy more than they need in the promotion. 10. What does the house buyer want to do? A. Buy the smaller house only. B. Get the smaller house for free. C. Buy the larger house for $1.2 million.

D. Buy both the larger and smaller houses for $2 million. 11. How does the author organize the text?(P: Paragraph)

A. B. C. D.

D

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still meana lot. My brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to

the shop to gel supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully.Immediately, I was grateful that I had done that___4___

It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle's Registration fees. I put myself in his or her shoes and thought: no one would throw this away. I looked over the receipt for any personal data, perhaps a license plate (车牌) or telephone number, but failed. How could I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid and the name of the owner, who must live in our town. I decided that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.

By the end of the week, I received a beautiful “thank you” letter from a woman including a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind took her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.

It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that seemed little and unimportant.

12. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean? A. He was lucky to learn the lesson.

B. It was a good idea to do shopping that day. C. He was right to pick up the paper.

D. It turned out the paper belonged to the writer. 13. What information did the writer get from the paper? A The woman's license plate number. B. The woman's phone number. C. The woman's name. D. The woman's address.

14. How did the woman lose the receipt?

A. She forgot where she had put it. B. A strong wind blew it away. C. It fell onto the floor. D. She left it in the parking lot. 15. What can be the best title for the text?

A. A Lesson I Will Never Forget B. Never Lose Heart or Give up C. Little Things Still Mean a Lot D. Think Carefully Before You Act
