Attitude towards Space Trip
Do you want to spend a 10-day visit at the International Space Station? We have interviewed teenagers from
around the world. They have different opinions about space trip.
Simon from England
“There are so many beautiful places to see on the earth. I'd like to visit these places first before
spending lots of money going into space. I think it should be cheap enough for everyone to go, not
just the rich and famous.”
Ben from Canada
“I think space travel is really bad for the space environment. We are sending more objects into
space. When two objects in space crash, they break into smaller pieces and become space junk
floating around. It's very dangerous for the tourists to travel in spaceship! ”
Maria from Germany
,
“Whether you like it or not space trip is going to be an important thing in the future. It's a
great idea to travel in space. I hope in 50 years' time that taking a holiday in space will be
common. I'd really love to do it.”
Yoko from Japan
“Why do we want to travel into space? I'd rather go on holiday and stay in a hotel. It must be very
boring to sit for hours in that small space shuttle（舱）. I'd like to take a plane and go to another
place on the earth.”
.

Sophie's WorldSeveral days went by without any word from the philosophy（哲学）teacher. Tomorrow was Thursday, May
17-Nowway's National Day. School would be closed on the 18th as well. As they walked home after school, Joanna
suddenly said, “Let's go camping! ”
Sophie's immediate reaction（反应）was that she couldn't be away from the house for long. But then she
said, “Sure, why not?"
A couple of hours later, Joanna arrived at Sophie's door with a large backpack. Sophie had packed hers as well,
and she also had a tent.
When Sophie's mother got home around five o'clock, she gave them a sermon （指导）about what they must
and must not do. She also insisted on knowing where they were going to set up camp.
They told her they planned to head for Grouse Top. They might be lucky enough to hear the mating call of the
grouse（松鸡）next morning.
Sophie had a secret motive（动机）for choosing that particular spot. She thought that Grouse Top must be
pretty close to the major's cabin（少校的木屋）. Something was driving her to return to it, but she didn't dare to
go alone. he two girls walked down the path that led from the little cul-de-sac（street open at one end only）just
beyond Sophie's garden gate. They chatted about this and that, and Sophie enjoyed taking a little time off from
everything having to do with philosophy.
By eight o'clock they had set up their tent in the open air by Grouse Top. They had prepared themselves for the
night. When they had eaten their sandwiches, Sophie asked, “Have you ever heard of the major's cabin?"
“The major's cabin?"
“There is a but in the woods somewhere near here... by a little lake. A strange man lived there once, a major.”
“Does anyone live there now?"
“Do you want to go and see?"
Joanna was not full of interest, but in the end they set out. The sun was low in the sky.
24. Both Joanna and Sophie decided to ___________during their holiday.
A. play games online B. go to the cinema
C. visit their friends D. go camping

C. Joanna wouldn't go to the major's cabin with Sophie..
D. Sophie had probably been to the major's cabin before

Some Amazing Apps for Your Smartphone
It's hard to imagine life in modern society without smartphones. Here are a few free and helpful apps that you
can download to help you throughout the day.
If you have a habit of forgetting things and want to organize your life, give Evernote a try. It promises to help
users remember everything. With a few clicks, you can send all of your photos, documents, and audio notes to your
Evernote. Then your digital information can be stored in folders or tagged（标签）with useful keywords. When
you need to access（进入）this data, you can perform a simple search and it will appear in seconds. Evernote can
be used on smartphones, iPads, and computers, so you can access your data from everywhere.
Imagine you're watching a TV show and you hear a cool song in the background. You want to buy it but there's
one problem: You don't know the name of the song. SoundHound is an app that will make this problem a thing of
the past. It can make us quickly identify（辨别）songs. The app takes the song playing and compares it to
thousands of other songs. Within seconds, it can tell you the name, artist, and album of the song you just heard.
Another wonderful app is Lookout. Hopefully you won't have to use it often, but when you do need it,
Lookout can be a lifesaver. Its main function（功能）is to help you find your phone if it goes missing. Lookout
does this by using your smartphone's data connection to locate（定位）your lost device. To see where your phone
is on a map, simply log into Lookout from any web browser（浏览器）. In the worst-case situation, if someone
steals your phone, you can delete all of its data with a few clicks. This will be sure that no one will see any private
information on your phone.
We've covered a few helpful apps but this is just the tip of an iceberg（冰山）. If you do some searching
online, you're certain to find lots of other apps that will make your life more convenient.
27. The writer mainly tells us ___________in the second paragraph.
A. who created Evernote and made it help organize our life
B. how we use Evernote to help remember things in daily life
C. where we download Evernote to our smartphones safely
D. what we have to do to prevent us from forgetting things
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Lookout can locate smartphones when we can't find them.
B. SoundHound can be used to watch TV on our smartphones.
C. We are not able to use Evernote on our computers or iPads.
D. Lookout can't clear away private information on our phones.29. What does the writer imply（暗示）in the last paragraph?

C. It is important to keep some apps off your phones.
D. It is necessary to find more useful apps on our own.

Cooking shows on TV are usually all about exotic（外来的）foods. Thanks to globalization, people
everywhere are introducing their taste foods to dishes from every corner of the world. At the same time, other
people are discovering that food from their areas is the best kept secret. In the past few years, this movement（运
动）of buying local produce keeps picking up steam because it offers a lot of benefits.
For starters, local food is often tastier because it is fresher. Goods that are imported（进口）from abroad must
be grown or shipped from far away, so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey. A simple way
to test this is to compare a banana from overseas with one that was grown locally and taste. Imported goods must
also be washed and packaged in plastic or other containers so they can be stored well during the journey. These
materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline（下降）during the shipping process. Food
safety is another reason why people are choosing local produce. Today's laws on foods are different from country to
country. This causes confusion and makes it difficult to check if any harmful pesticides（农药）were used. When
you know the local farmer who grows your food and the fields that are used to produce it, the chances of being
polluted are greatly reduced.
Buying local foods can also have a beneficial influence on the environment. By supporting local growers ,
consumers（消费者）can keep green space and farmland in their communities in good condition. Buying local
also helps to build the local community. If farmers can sell directly to consumers instead of middlemen, they will
earn more money for their families. Additional profits（利润）also make farmers care for their soil and keep
quality standards high. In the end, it's a win-win situation for both parties.
If you are interested in increasing more local foods into your diet, you can start by attending a farmers' market
in your area. This is an open market where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, and meat directly to the public. If you
have any questions about the production process or quality of these goods, you can ask the farmers directly. Once
you experience the freshness of local foods for yourself, it might be difficult to go back to the supermarket.
30. Why does the writer encourage us to buy local foods in the passage?
A. They look fresher and do less harm to our health.
.
B. They are often sold at a lower price in the open markets
C. They are strictly checked before coming into the markets.D. They are washed and packed with plastic carefully.
31. What does the underlined phrase “picking up steam" mean in the passage?
A. taking off B. speeding up C. cutting down D. depending on
32. What can we infer from the passage?
A. All the cooking shows on TV will support local foods.
B. Local foods will replace the imported ones completely.
C. The green space and farmland will be developed better.
D. An agreement will be reached on laws of world's foods.
33. What's the best title for the passage?
A. The Basic Information about Local Foods B. Local Foods in Different Countries
C. Making Tasty Dishes from Local Foods D. Learning to Love Locally-Grown Foods

Clean, Convenient, and Cheap
Traffic is the main cause of air pollution and noise in big cities. For example, drivers in New York are famous
for honking（鸣）their horns and shouting. That noise drives many visitors and the local people crazy. Other big
cities have similar problems with their traffic.
City governments have a lot of pressure to solve these problems. The most common solution is public
transportation. New York's biggest form of public transportation is the subway. Another solution is bicycle sharing.
,
This is a system that provides cheap bicycles. In cities that have bicycle sharing programs there are lots of
spots that have parked public bikes. People borrow the bikes and use them. They can return the bike at the same
spot where they borrow it, or they can drop it off at another spot.
Bicycle sharing programs are different in each city. In some cities, the bikes are completely free. They aren't
even locked. In other cities, you have to pay a small deposit（押金）. You get the deposit back when you return
the bike. In still other cities, you need to have a membership with the bicycle sharing program. Once you have a
membership, you can use a bike at any time you want.
Bicycle sharing is hugely popular all over the world. There are bicycle sharing systems in dozens of countries
and hundreds of cities. In total, there are more than 530 bicycle sharing systems around the world, and that number
is going up all the time.
People love this system. It can be great for connecting to other modes of transportation. It's quick to grab a
bike when you need one and convenient to drop it off at any station. Bikeshare can also save a lot of money. The
annual membership includes unlimited trips under 30 minutes. Whether you're using bikeshare to go to work or ride
to meet friends, we bet you'll get there with a smile on your face. Getting places by pedal power gets great exercise.Even biking short distances can have positive effects on your health and stress level. Biking saves fuel, prevents
carbon emissions（排放）and keeps pollutants out of the air. It's not only healthy for you, but also for the
environment.
