While attractions like the Shard and the London Eye offer excellent perspectives, they’re always busy and ticket prices are steep. But with a little insider knowledge, you can save your pounds and bag your skyline photos without the crowds through accessing the following viewpoints
Parliament Hill
London is mostly flat, but if you know where to look there are a few hills that provide natural (and free) high points offering city views with a side order of fresh air.
One of the most central is Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath - at 98m, one of London’s highest natural viewpoints. From here, on a clear day, you can sit on the park bench that featured in movies like Run Fatboy Run and Notes on a Scandal.

Sometimes, the kids in Stephanie Williams’s kindergarten class need a little extra motivation. While some students prefer material rewards for good behavior, all Kameron Eisenberg wanted was to be the first one on the bus. That way, he’d be able to spend a little extra time with the school bus driver Charles Frierson. In the few minutes they shared together each afternoon, Mr. Charles would chat with Kameron, encourage him, and generally brighten his day
“I always ask the kids, ‘What do you want to work for today ’ And Kameron said, ‘I want to work to see the bus,’” Stephanie said. “Just being the first one on the bus and talking to Mr. Charles does not seem like a lot, but to him it’s the world.”
At the beginning of the school year, Kameron was having some difficulties in class. His behavior got him sent to the administrator’s office almost every day. However, getting to hang out with Mr. Charles turned out to be a strong motivator for the kindergartner to follow directions. After checking in with his teacher, the bus driver would sometimes even talk to him about any problems he was having in school.
Stephanie saw a huge change in Kameron’s attitude once the boy started talking to Mr. Charles every day. So did Kameron’s mom. Eventually, she decided to write a letter to the driver. As Charles read the note on camera, he started to tear up
“I have always believed angels come when you least expect them.” She wrote, “This holds especially true in regards to Mr. Charles. I would like him to know how much we absolutely love him for who he is and what he has done for my son.”
According to School Transportations News. Charles and Kameron often get ice cream together now that school is out for the summer. The bus driver also cheers him on at his weekend baseball games.
24. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs
A. Kameron was tired of Stephanie’s lessons.
B. Kameron liked to compete for the first place.
C. Kameron made friends with Mr. Charles.
D. All kids in the kindergarten preferred material rewards.
25. What happened to Kameron at the beginning of the school year
A. He behaved badly in school.
B. He was to be dismissed from school.
C. He had a poor sense of direction.
D. He was affected more by the administrator.
26. Why did Kameron’s mom write to Mr. Charles
A. To show her gratitude to him. B. To change Kameron’s attitude
C. To express a mother’s enthusiasm D. To get the school bus driver moved
27. Which words can best describe Mr. Charles
A. Patient and cautious B. Caring and positive.
C. Honest and determined. D. Ambitious and sensitive.
C
Getting rid of old tyres has long been a problem. Most are thrown into landfills or piled up in storage Energy recovery is another common method. This involves burning tyres to generate electricity or heat for industries, but that produces planet warming pollution; or we use them to repair roads, but chemicals from them might pollute the ground.
Some firms, therefore, have begun exploring an alternative. One such firm is Wastefront, which owns a big tyre-recycling plant in north-east England. In a couple of years, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products, including a black liquid called TDO (轮胎衍生油).
The process works by deconstructing a tyre into steel, rubber, and carbon black (炭黑). After tearing down the steel, the remaining material is exposed to high temperatures in the absence of air to make the rubber change into a mix of hydrocarbon gases, and then they’re removed. What is left behind is pure carbon black. Once the removed gases cool down, a part of them liquefies into TDO. The remaining gases are to be burned to fuel the process. This creates a closed-cycle system that prevents emissions (排放).
The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres. That is of interest to tyre-makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral-achieving a balance between the amounts of carbon dioxide produced and the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. Producing new carbon black requires burning heavy oil or coal, which lets off plenty of greenhouse gases
The recovered TDO is well-suited for making diesel (柴油). While not completely carbon-neutral, it does produce an 80-90% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide, compared with the conventional fuel. The future market for such cleaner fuels will remain large, even though electric vehicles are on the rise. Fossil-fuelled vehicles will exist for decades, particularly the big burners of diesel-trucks, which are harder to electrify. The fuel is also needed by trains and ships. So, anything that helps clean up overall emissions is useful—especially if it also eases a mountainous waste problem.
28. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To analyze causes. B. To present problems
C. To reach solutions. D. To make comparisons
29. What can be inferred about the tyre-recycling process
A. Air boosts the burning of the old tyres.
B. The remaining gases are emitted into the air.
C. Pure carbon black is an unprocessed substance.
D. TDO comes from the removed hydrocarbon gases.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Diesel made from TDO. B. Clean electric energy.
C. Carbon-neutral process D. Recovered TDO from old tyres.
31. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
A. The Problems of Burning Old Tyres.
B. The Black Liquid Called TDO.
C. The System Preventing Emissions
D. The Alternative to Tyre-recycling.
D
Since we are vulnerable (脆弱的) when we sleep, sleep must play a critical role, or evolution wouldn’t have selected for it. Early humans had to hunt, gather food and protect themselves. Those activities consumed much time, so unless sleep served very important purposes, those who slept less would have an advantage. Yet sleeping for long hours of the night was kept for years, but scientists had only general ideas about what happened during sleep. Recently, Dr. Chiara Chiarelli, a neuroscientist, shared what sleep neuroscience research has discovered.
Neural (神经的) networks in the brain are connected through synapses (神经突触) which allow signals to flow throughout the brain and onto cells. During waking hours, new learning can strengthen the connections. You can think of knowledge acquired over a long time as a group of well-connected neural paths. When you learn something new, new paths are connected to the old. During the waking hours, your brain processes massive amounts of new insignificant information, say remembering where you parked your car. But that memory has to be preserved at least until you reach the car. It establishes a new connection to your memory of what your car looks like, a well-established “old” memory. The brain creates so many connections daily that particular circuits can be heavily burdened.
Dr. Cirelli explained that during sleep, a great many synaptic connections are weakened so that connections are more available for new learning the next day. Continuing with the parked car example, the exact location of the parked car is not needed again, so the connections are weakened. In fact, if it were not, you might memorize hundreds of places where you have parked, leading to considerable confusion!
You don’t have to be a scientist to understand that not sleeping well affects next day functioning — this is common cultural wisdom. Dr. Cirelli’s research is an example of science showing the “why” and “how” mechanisms that underlie that wisdom.
32. What does the example of early humans show
A. Sleep wasn’t as important as it is today.
B. Our ancestors had a hard time surviving.
C. Sleep is significant in the history of humans.
D. Whoever sleeps less enjoys more advantages.
33. What message does the author seem to convey in paragraph 2
A. Our memory can be kept over a long period of time.
B. Our brain can be overloaded with synaptic connections.
C. Our brain’s neural network is connected through synapses.
D. Our new learning is based on well-established old memories
34. What has Dr. Cirelli’s research discovered
A. Sleep relieves synaptic burden. B. Sleep carries cultural wisdom.
C. Sleep broadens neural paths. D. Sleep stimulates brain development.
35. What’s the author’s attitude to Dr. Cirelli’s research
A. Doubtful B. Unclear
C. Dismissive (鄙视的) D. Approving

Dispose of Your Credit Card Without Burying It
Disposing of unwanted items in our lives often means simply throwing them into the garbage or recycling bin — or, if they’re still useful, giving them away. It’s different with old credit cards, which should be destroyed so nobody can use them fraudulently (欺诈地). 36 Here’s how to get rid of an old card.
First, contact the issuer
If closing the account is your goal, you’ll have to call the number on the back of your card and ask to do so. If your card is a rewards card, remember to first redeem points or cash back. Change any automatic payments to a different card, and be sure to pay the final card bill.
Cut up plastic cards
Sharp scissors and smart trimming will do the job here. “We recommend that consumers cut through the EMV chip, then further cut the card a few times along the short side, and dispose of the sections in more than one trash bag,” says Sarah Grano, a spokeswoman for the American Bankers Association. 37
Send back metal cards
38 Contact your issuer. Typically, you can mail it back for disposal. “For example, when American Express sends a replacement card, it also sends an addressed return envelope to mail back an old metal card for destruction,” says Heather Norton, spokeswoman for American Express.
Check back on your account
Don’t obsess about identity theft of an old credit card. You generally won’t be responsible for fraudulent charges anyway. 39 It’s a good idea to check your account statement to make sure there’s been no fraud.
Closing an account can hurt you
Closing a credit card account can lower your credit rating. That’s because credit scores consider your “credit utilization ratio’”, or how much of your available credit you’re using. And when you close an account, you have less available credit. 40 Closing an old card decreases the average age of your accounts.
A. It could be worth closing the account anyway. B. Scores also consider the length of time you’ve had the card open. C. Or feed cards into a machine designed to handle them. D. Take care with debit cards and other plastic where fraud means you might be missing money. E. But how to destroy a payment card properly is not obvious, especially with new metal credit cards. F. Destroying a metal card by yourself is harder and potentially dangerous. G. Skip this step if you’re simply replacing an expired card or one that has been compromised.

Life skills or social skills are seldom prioritized (优先考虑) in most schools. However, a 41 school teacher in Canada, Jennifer Thiessen, thinks 42 and ensures her students are well-equipped for life. According to her, 43 these skills was as important as students knowing how to multiply and divide.
Thiessen discussed her 44 with a fellow teacher, Kyla Stradling, and they came up with a plan. They gave their students a project 45 to spreading goodwill. They called it the “Kindness Project”.

The school has carried out the Kindness Project for the last five years. Due to the project’s success, the school 52 five classes, three third-graders and second fourth-graders. This year, the 100 students were divided into many groups and 53 different tasks. On March 15, some were at coffee shops helping people buy beverages, while others waited at a local park to 54 dog treats and flowers.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Everyone has a hero — someone he admires, who has had an impact on his life. My brother, John, is my hero. He is the most sympathetic, sweet and funny person I have ever met. John is also mentally handicapped (智障的) and has a developmental disability known as autism (自闭症).
I used to be ashamed of John when I was little. When he first started talking, he had a hard time with pronunciation and understanding the meaning of words. He called me May-Me for most of my childhood because he could not pronounce Amy. As John grew older, his language ability gradually increased. I went from May-Me to Amy, and hammer burgers became hamburgers.
When I was younger, I was embarrassed by John. He used to run around in stores talking to himself, flicking his ears and putting his hands in his mouth. He had a hard time swallowing and would have drool (流口水) running down his face. John was very loud, and it seemed to me that he would always find the quietest moments to talk.
All I ever wanted was a normal brother. I would look at other brothers and sisters, see their relationships and turn green with envy. Why did my brother have to be so different I was very self-conscious of what people thought. I felt as if the entire world was laughing at me because of the way John was acting. I was utterly offended at times that I could not have a normal brother.
The siblings of an autistic child can have many reactions to the amount of attention the autistic child receives. Some feel as if they are not receiving enough attention and may become superachievers to get their share. I hate to admit it, but I definitely fall into this category. I feel the need to excel (突出) in everything I do. I cannot help but think that this comes from having a disabled brother.
John has changed significantly over the past eighteen years. __________________________________________

Dear Professor Williams,
I am honored to give a presentation about Chinese culture to international students at your invitation. I’ am pleased to take this opportunity to communicate with foreign friends about cultures.
My presentation will be focused on Chinese martial arts, which is an important component of Chinese culture. To begin with, I will briefly introduce it and its development over millennia. Then, I will focus on some common styles of Chinese martial arts. Furthermore, I will show some photos of relevant historical locations and figures. I believe graphic visual depiction will be more impressive than boring language.
Thank you for your invitation. I am looking forward to seeing you.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
写作二：
John has changed significantly over the past eighteen years. As he grew older, he became social and adopted an optimistic and positive attitude. John began to see things for what they really are. Most people feel sorry for John, and they feel as if they should be the one helping him. John, however, does not even see that he has a problem, only that there are problems out there that people need help with, and he wants to help. If my mentally handicapped brother can have so many problems of his own, overcome these problems as if they are nothing and want to help others, then surely I can overcome obstacles of my own
As I grow older, I’m no longer ashamed of my brother; instead, I am ashamed that I used to be. There is no one I would rather walk through a store with, and no one I would rather have a “quiet” conversation with in the midst of a quiet restaurant. I beam (眉开眼笑) with pride when someone tells me they love my brother, because I know I am truly blessed to have John in my life to keep me real and remind me of what is important. John has taught me to live life, to love life and, no matter what, that life goes on. So maybe John is no Clark Kent (超人在现实世界的名字), but in my mind, he is definitely a superhero.
