There are many types of maps in the world. Most of them are widely used in our everyday life. Different maps have different uses.When we are in a new place, a proper map may help us solve the problems easily.

Tourist (游客) maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area.When tourists read these maps,it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places, too.

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long trips. We use different numbers to stand for different roads. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution (分布) maps use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, what languages people speak, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. It is easy for people to read them. Trains are fast. People don’t have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.

22、   British people are well known for the amount（量）of tea that they drink. Each person in the UK drinks about 1.9 kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections（阶层）of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most of the tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?

Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time British ships were exploring（探索）the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available（可购得的）to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased. Black tea arrived at this time. At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon found that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving it a special taste.

In the 1800s, tea was still a thing enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. People drink tea with a snack around 4 p.m. so that they don’t feel hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.

In the late 1800s, the price of tea went down as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms-shops where you could buy and drink tea, started to appear（出现）across the country. At the start of the 20th century, people of all sections began to drink tea.

24、Some people think that they have an answer to the problems of automobile crowding and pollution in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called "Bike for a Better City". They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.

For several years this group has been trying to get city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to paint special lanes—for bicycles only—on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. "Bike for a Better City" feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.

But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.

The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest open place in New York—is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But "Bike for a Better City" says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.

【1】The underlined word "automobiles" in the second paragraph means ________.

A．trains

B．cars

C．planes

D．ships

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Special lanes are needed on every street.

B．The Central Park is closed to cars on weekdays.

C．"Bike for a Better City" members ride bicycles to work.

D．Accidents won't happen if cars and bikes are on different lanes.

【3】This passage is mainly about ________.

A．city problems and "Bike for a Better City"

B．"Bike for a Better City" and the city government

C．the government's idea on traffic and city pollution

D．advice on the city problems of traffic and pollution

25、   There are many charity shops in England. They sell all kinds 【1】 things which are not very expensive.

Oxfam opened the 【2】(one) charity shop in 1947. Now there are more than 7,000 charity shops in England. They are located in every corner of the UK. My favorite one is the Red Cross Shop b【3】 I could always find children's books about history, art and so on there. And all of 【4】(they) are from 10 to 20 pence each. They are 【5】(real) cheap.

Local people gave away many things. I could see bags of things outside the shops every morning. Some people 【6】(bring) and put them there without waiting for thanks. In fact, 90% of the things in charity shops are from these k【7】 people.

Every year, the charity shops raise more than 100 million pounds. All 【8】 money goes to the charity work. The money is for sick and poor children, 【9】(home) and disabled people.

If possible, let's try our 【10】(good) to do something for charity together.
