18.A Dream Realized
Zhao Yang,33,an employee of a French company in Beijing,who has traveled extensively in the United States by motorbike.
I have been addicted to Harley-Davidson motorcycles since I was young,and knowing that motorcycle-related culture is very popular in the US,I decided to take a trip.Along with my wife and a group of fellow enthusiasts,I participated in a 15-day tour in October last year.We had one free day,so I headed to Las Vegas.
Before arriving in the US,I researched a range of materials about riding a motorbike there.I also found some classic recommended routes on Chinese websites related to Harley Davidson clubs.
With the help of their suggestions,I designed my own route.
In accordance with the rules,before I left China I visited a notary office (公證機關(guān)),where my driving license was confirmed as acceptable in the US and my documents were translated into English.Only then did I buy my basic motorcycle equipment.
When we arrived at Las Vegas,we rented a Harley Davidson and rode around the city.It was an exciting,unforgettable experience,because it was not only the achievement of a dream,but I also experienced the regional motorcycle culture in the US.As we parked the bike at the roadside,some drivers rolled down their car windows and gave us the thumbs-up,and when we drove on the road,car drivers pulled over to let us pass.We also visited a motorcycle-themed restaurant for lunch and enjoyed the fantastic decoration and delicious food.
I believe that traveling by motorcycle in the US will become popular because of the recent joint efforts to promote Sino-US tourism,especially after the two countries decided to name 2016as US-China Tourism Year.This new style of traveling will attract more young Chinese tourists,and people like me,who have a passion for freedom and adventure,will visit the US more frequently.For example,I am planning to travel along the famous highway called Route 66with friends during next year's Spring Festival.
If travel agencies and governments can promote the need for motorcyclists to obtain accurate information before they head to the US-such as the required documents,how to rent a motorbike and local traffic laws-"riding the range"will become a safe and great way to spend a vacation.

A.become a professional motorcyclist
B.travel in Harley-Davidson motorcycles
C.take a trip in the USA along with his wife

C.joined one of the Harley Davidson clubs and got suggestions
D.took lots of health examinations and bought some equipment
34.How did Zhao Yang feel when driving in Las Vegas?D
A.disturbed      B.disappointed    C.depressed    D.excited
35.Zhao Yang thinks that traveling by motorcycle in the US willA.
A.enjoy much popularity with Sino-US tourism
B.obtain less American fans in motorcycle travel
C.get less support from the modern motorcyclists

7.Next time you need directions,maybe you can ask an ant.These little creatures are masters of navigation(導(dǎo)航)that some can find their way home whether they're walking forward or backward,according to a study in Current Biology.
Ants often travel long to bring back the food to their nests.But how do they know where they're going?
Researchers went to Spain to mess with some desert ants.They found an active nest and surrounded it with barriers that forced the foraging(搜尋)ants to follow a particular path back home.Once the ants were familiar with the maze,the researchers would take them up,hand them pieces of a cookie and then put them back in a different location,one that required taking a 90 degree turn to get to the nest.
The research found that the ants carrying a small,easy-to-carry piece would run forward with confidence and were able to head on home.Some ants,however,would drop the cookie and turn around to take a look at the scenery,which allowed the six-legged experts to reset their inner maps,catch their cookies and head in the right direction.
These ants seem to use sky clues,like the position of the sun,to keep them on track.When the researchers used a mirror to make it look like the sun on the other side of the sky,the cornered ants would turn tail for the opposite direction.
So ants integrate(整合)a lot of information to successfully bring home the food.

28.What does the word"maze"in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?D
A.A nest that active ants live in.
B.An experiment that is done in the desert.
C.A method that helps to locate food.
D.A place that consists of confusing paths.
29.Why did some ants stop to look at the scenery?C
A.To get over the man-made barriers.
B.To enjoy the scenery along the route.
C.To ensure they're in the right direction.
D.To check directions with their maps.
30.According to the passage,what probably helps the ants find their way home?A
A.The position of the sun.
B.One particular path.
C.A 90 degree turn.
D.Pieces of a cookie.
31.Where does this passage probably come from?C
A.An adventure novel.
B.A geography textbook.
C.A science magazine.
D.A tourist brochure.

9.The first-ever direct China-to-Britain freight train(貨運列車)arrived in London last week.It was the (61)latest(late)evidence of China's efforts to redevelop the"Silk Road"trade routes that once stretched from Asia to Europe.
(62)Having travelled (travel)from China through Kazakhstan,Russia,Belarus,Poland,Germany,Belgium and France for 18days,the train finally arrived in London.Inside the 68containers  (63)were (be)household goods,clothing,cloth,bags and suitcases."This is (64)twice (two)as quick as sea and it's much,much cleaner and cheaper than air freight,"said Philippa Edmunds,(65)who works at the British Campaign for Better Transport.
But the train itself may be more important than the goods (66)it was carrying.Observers say the trip had a political message that China is developing new trade routes and new markets.China needs to find more places(67)to sell(sell)the goods it makes.That is the (68)belief(believe)of Jie Yu from the London School of Economics."The domestic market in China now seems not to be very promising,so the Chinese are (69)desperately (desperate)looking for the new markets.And obviously that freight train serves (70)asa very good vehicle for the Chinese manufacturers and may help restore the business confidence inside China."

13.Four simple ways to stay positiveTrying to stay positive,both in good times and bad,is a great way to improve your quality of life.Try these four methods on a daily basis.
Don't think a lot about negativity.
Of course,staying positive 24 hours a day,seven days a week is a bit difficult.Letting things get to you is normal,and it's actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.
It's when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk.(36)F However,don't give that sadness another second in your day.
(37)A What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside.Fill yourself with good,healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking.Exercise is equally of great importance.Take a few days out of your week for at least a half an hour of activity,and try to stick to a routine.(38)G
Be kind to others.
(39)E Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face,but also yours as well.Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect.Good deeds are contagious (傳染的),and your positive attitude may spread among others.
Take it one day at a time.
Being positive isn't an instant thing.It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day.(40)C Instead,focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.

A.Eat healthy and stay fit.
B.Take your lunch breaks outside.
C.Don't worry about what the future may bring.
D.Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.
E.Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
F.Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
G.Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.

3.As reported by The Times on July 12,half of primary schools in the UK will soon adopt the traditional Chinese method of maths teaching in a Government drive to stop British children falling behind those in Asian.They will get rid of"child-centered"styles and instead return to repetition,drills and"chalk and talk"whole-class learning.Teachers will be offered training,textbooks and advice on how to adopt the Shanghai maths method.
Children in the UK are far behind those in China,Singapore and Japan in international league tables of numeracy(計算能力).Critics blame"progressive"teaching styles that focused on applying maths to real-life scenes in an effort to make the subject more interesting.They say this has led to confusion and stopped children learning the basics.
Under the Government's new plans,children as young as five will have drills to practise sums and exercises,and must master each concept through repetition before moving to the next.Nick Gibb,the schools minister,said that training would be provided for 8,000 primary schools-half the country's total-to switch to the Shanghai‘mastery'approach."We are seeing a renaissance(復(fù)興) in maths teaching in this country,with good ideas  from around the world helping to make our classrooms more lively,"he said,"I am confident that the steps we are taking now will make sure young people are properly prepared for further study and the 21st-century workplace,and that the too often heard phrase‘can't do maths'is abandoned to the past."He has promised£41million to provide textbooks and training for two teachers from each participating school.
But some teaching leaders questioned whether the success of Asian countries was purely down to the style of lessons.James Bowen,director of NAHT Edge,a union for middle school leaders,said:"Part of the success of maths teaching in countries like China comes from the respect in which they hold teachers and the time they give them to plan and prepare.If the Government wanted to import these practices,too,we wouldn't object."

24.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.China has better approaches to teaching maths than Britain.
B.Practice and repetition play an important part in learning maths.
C.Chinese maths teaching methods will come into British primary classrooms.
D.The British government attaches great importance to education.
25.According to the Government's new plan,D.
A.8,000 British schools will have to teach maths in Chinese style.
B.individual-based maths teaching approaches will be adopted.
C.£41million will be provided for the necessary textbooks for teachers.
D.British pupils will be taught maths as a whole class.
26.What is the author's attitude toward the Government's new plans?C
A.Negative
B.Doubtful
C.Objective
D.Supportive
27.Why wasn't James Bowen in favor of the plan?A
A.British has different educational conditions from Asian countries.
B.He didn't have much confidence in British teachers and children.
C.He didn't believe in the Chinese maths teaching methods
D.The success of maths teaching in Asian countries is due to teachers.

7.A handshake is one of the most common ways to greet others,but US President Donald Trump's unusual method has been put under the microscope lately.
Much like an armwrestler in a match,the recently-elected leader has a habit of yanking (猛拉) people's hands toward himself during handshakes.And while a typical handshake is only brief,the one between him and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Feb 10 lasted a full 19 seconds.
Simply having a strong hand is not the explanation here.According to Darren Stanton,a body language expert from the UK,while handshakes are usually an exchange of kindness,Trump uses his as a way to show power and control,regardless of how uncomfortable it makes people."It is as if to say,‘Hey,I'm in charge,don't mess with me,'"Stanton told The Independent.
Apart from Trump's"yank-shake",there are other ways people display power with their hands.At business talks or political meetings,for example,some people may rotate (旋轉(zhuǎn)) their wrists during handshakes so that their hand ends up on top instead of underneath.Some may squeeze so hard that it leaves the other person's hand in pain.
According to Stanton,by pulling people into his personal space,Trump is also testing w hether they are willing to cooperate with him."For example,if someone was resistant to being yanked towards him and stood their ground,he would know that he has work to do with them before he got what he wanted,"Stanton told Express.
This is probably why on Feb 13 when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the White House,all eyes were on how he was going to handle Trump's handshake.Fortunately,Trudeau managed to avoid the embarrassment by grabbing Trump's shoulder to stop himself being pulled in.Afterward,some Twitter users wrote that this proved Trudeau's strong leadership,with one even calling the moment"one of Canada's greatest victories".
Vice magazine summed up the exchange between the two leaders as:"…no regular handshake.This was the first shot in a bloodless war."

25.According to Darren Stanton,Trump uses his"yank-shake"toA.
a.show his kindness              
b.gain control         
c.remind people of his status
d.see if people are cooperative    
e.get people to lower their guard
A.bcd
B.a(chǎn)bc
C.a(chǎn)ce
D.bde
26.The phrase"stood their ground"in Paragraph 5 probably meansB.
A.going ahead
B.standing still     
C.turning around  
D.pulling out
27.According to the text,the way Trudeau reacted to Trump's handshakeB.
A.a(chǎn)nnoyed Trump         
B.displayed his power
C.was considered rude          
D.was likely to start a war
28.What can be concluded from the text?C
A.Some people spin their wrists during handshakes to show extra respect.
B.Handshakes are the most preferable way for political leaders to greet others.
C.The way someone shakes another person's hand can have different meanings.
D.The longer two people shake their hands,the better their relationship is.
