26、The world’s first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.

The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels(隧道) with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.

【1】What led the British government to build the London Underground？

A. Traffic jams and pollution.

B. Population and pollution.

C. Overcrowding and traffic jams(堵塞).

D. The poverty and subway problems.

【2】How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？

A. It made the tunnels larger.

B. It put fans in the tunnels.

C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.

D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE？

A. To relocate the workers’ homes outside London, the government built the subway.

B. There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened.

C. The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic.

D. There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.

【4】It seems that the writer is going to talk about _________.

A. more problems with subways.

B. subways around the world later on.

C. the history and culture of London.

D. the Beijing subway.

27、   In March 2019, when Sara Cook first got a letter telling her that someone had paid off a part of her medical debt, she thought it was fake. “It seems like one of those e-mails you get saying you have a long-lost uncle and you’ve just inherited two million dollars.” Cook says. Cook called the number listed on the letter and what she learned was that this was not a scam.

A remarkable nonprofit organization called RIP Medical Debt had paid $ 5,000 towards her bills. RIP buys medical debts directly from hospitals at a steep discount, usually paying only a few pennies to retire each dollar of debt. Since 2014, it is estimated that they’ve spent only about $20 million to pay off nearly $1 billion in personal debts. Antic and Ashton, the founders, get their money from individuals and charities that support RIP’s mission. The $5,000 to pay off Cook’s bill was donated by a church in Michigan, which in 2019 raised $53,000, paying off $5 million in debt owed by thousands of people.

Don't bother contacting RIP for help, however. Now, RIP researches potential recipients (接受者) based on three criteria. First, they look for people who make no more than 2.5 times the amount established as the federal poverty level. Then they seek for those whose debt is equal to 5 percent or more of their total income. Third, they look to see whether a person is bankrupt.

For those who do qualify, RIP’s help is life-altering. “After their letter, I realized that my life really wasn’t that awful,” says Cook, who shares her story with anyone who has the willingness to listen. “I may be deprived of the chance to work as a nurse again, but I can sit at the school library and help kid read or serve up food in the soup kitchen. When people do something out of the kindness of their hearts, sometimes they may wonder whether it really makes a difference. I want people to know that this indeed has a positive impact.”

【1】What does the underlined word “scam” probably mean?

A．Payment.

B．Cheat.

C．Reward.

D．Letter.

【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．Why RIP performs the act of paying off medical debt.

B．Where RIP gets the money for the kindness.

C．How much RIP has paid for people’s medical debt.

D．How RIP carries out the act of paying off people’s debt.

【3】Who are more likely to be the potential recipients of RIP?

A．Those who support RIP’s mission.

B．Those who struggle financially.

C．Those who contact RIP actively.

D．Those who get deadly diseases.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Goodbye, My Medical Debt

B．A Remarkable Organization

C．Cook, a Nurse of Misfortune

D．Antic and Ashton’s Kindness

28、George Santayana, a philosopher, said those who don’t learn from history are doomed to (注定) repeat it. In other words, if you fail to learn from past mistakes, you’re likely to make them yourself. 【1】 In addition to providing the knowledge of the past, studying history helps develop transferable (可转移的) skills that will prepare you for various career opportunities down the road. So why not explore useful strategies that will improve the effectiveness of your study?

【2】 While reading your textbook, always try and place events, dates, locations, and details within the context of the big picture. How do they fit in? Why are they important to what’s going on? How do they support the sequence of events occurring? There isn’t anything you can’t memorize if you employ this technique.

Watch movies! While educational, most historical films and documentaries are also very entertaining. 【3】 Thus, if you are serious about learning history, ensure the movie you select is true to historical facts.

Keep important information. To memorize key dates, names and events, you can employ a flashcard, on one side of which writes a key event, date or fact. On the opposite side, write the definition, description or explanation. 【4】 But it’s just as effective today as it was one hundred years ago.

Take notes in class. Write down only those truly significant things. To achieve this, listen carefully in class and determine which are the most important points made during a lecture. 【5】 More importantly, organize your notes by topic, then years, decades and centuries, use arrows and other notation (符号) devices to identify important information.

A．If in doubt, raise your hand and ask.

B．Establish connections between different facts.

C．The use of flashcards for memorizing is age-old.

D．But there are many other reasons for studying history.

E．Watching movies can be an effective method to memorize historical facts.

F．Unluckily, some films that describe historical events aren’t true to historical facts.

G．Add new information and insights you learn during lectures to your reading notes.

29、During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike, that’s really confusing!”

Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 800,000 — more than the city’s 750,000 inhabitants. According to an estimate made 5 years ago, 490,000 bicyclists take to streets daily.

But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges. Lotta says, “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”

Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.

Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.

She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”

Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior mayor, says. “I talk to the parents. Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”

【1】Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?

A．Important.

B．Difficult.

C．Unnecessary.

D．Valuable.

【2】Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?

A．To teach children how to ride.

B．To ensure cycling is safer for children.

C．To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.

D．To organize the cycling contests in the city.

【3】What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?

A．She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.

B．She has won a contest about cycling.

C．She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.

D．She has given proposals to the city mayor.

【4】What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?

A．Cautious.

B．Favorable.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Disapproving.
