A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle， but for many Londoners， cycling is a way of life. According to an official UK government survey in 2018， about 570，000 bike journeys are made every day in London. In fact， almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.

London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city，” Johnson told the Guardian in 2018.

In London， bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city， taking a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.

And its not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK， the UK governments Cycle to Work scheme allows employees to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax （稅）. This means that its common to see many people cycling to and from work， and some employers even provide workplace showers and lockers for their workers. More importantly， a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you rode a bike to work.

Not only is it great for the environment and our body， cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine， “Bike riding can improve peoples happiness.”

1. How does the author show the popularity of cycling in London？

A. By making comparisons.

B. By giving examples.

C. By using numbers.

D. By presenting famous sayings.

2. What is Johnsons attitude toward the bike-sharing system in London？

A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.

C. Disappointed. D. Uninterested.

3. What can employees get from the government under the “Cycle to Work” scheme？

A. Free bike-sharing services.

B. A tax-free bike.

C. Shorter working hours.

D. Workplace showers and lockers.

4. Whats the text mainly about？

A. Cycling as a healthy way of life.

B. Londons public bike-sharing system.

C. Why Londoners are encouraged to ride bikes.

D. How cycling has become popular in London.

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film?studio （影棚） to take part in a crowd scene. Although our “act” would last only for a short time， we could see quite a number of interesting things.

We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene， setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon， bright lights were turned on and the big movie? camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio， it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him， and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on， and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.

The next scene was a complete contrast （對(duì)比）. The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and an actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the waters edge on an island. By a simple trick like this， palm trees， sandy beaches， and blue， clear skies had been brought into the studio！

Since it was our turn next， we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”！

5. What did the author probably work as in the filmstudio？

A. A cameraman.

B. A film director.

C. A crowd scene actor.

D. A workman for scene setting.

6. What made the author feel cold？

A. The heavy snow. B. The man-made scene.

C. The stormy weather. D. The strong wind.

7. What would come about in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph？

A. A new scene would be filmed.

B. More stars would act in the film.

C. The next scene would be prepared.

D. The author would act as a film star.

Could we， not superman， lead a superheroic life？ I believe we could do it in some easy steps！

Activate （激活） our super powers.

Superheroes are all good at different things. Some are really fast， some can see things others cant， and some can move things with their minds. Also we all have special talents and passions. We just have to know what they are and develop them.

Try this： List several things youre especially good at—well say these are your core super powers. Next， write down what makes each of your core super powers special： why its valuable to you and others. Last， remember your super powers and look for chances to use them and improve them.

Get a sidekick or two.

Superheroes are out there all day， fighting the good fight. And whos there to help？ Every superhero has teamed up with someone else to defeat some enemies they couldnt deal with alone.

We need a support team： one or more who can be trusted and will help us when necessary. Our team members should bring different views and all kinds of super powers. But we must choose wisely.

Be brave and bold.

Does it take more courage to venture down a dark road or to face a life of no ventures at all？ Both can be pretty scary. We should be brave and bold just as some successful person said， “Have the courage to follow your heart. ”

Live the code.

Superheroes die to protect others. They dont cheat， lie or steal. Theyre good role models， and they do the right things even when nobody is watching.

Though nobodys perfect， yet we should learn from superheroes and struggle not to disobey the superhero code. Turn a friend down who trusts me？ Of course I wont.

1. Both superheroes and humans ___ .

A. are very clever and helpful

B. have their own strong points

C. know how to be clever and brave

D. try to remove their own weak points

3. What is the superhero code？

A. To try to be a perfect person.

B. To behave with right principles.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！

Of course he isnt really dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why？ Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains， who crash cars or even catch fire， are professional. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen （特技表演者）.

There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example， they fall from a high building. However， they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress （床墊）. Again， when they hit one another with chairs， the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows， the glass is made of sugar.

But although their work depends on tricks of this sort， it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmans success depends on careful timing. For example， he has to jump out of the way of the explosion （爆炸） just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work， but their lives are always dangerous. They often get seriously injured， and sometimes killed.

5. Stuntmen are those who often ___ .

A. dress up as actors

B. prefer to lead dangerous lives

C. fight against each other for a living

D. perform seemingly dangerous actions

6. How do stuntmen earn their living？

A. By playing their dirty tricks.

B. By selling their special skills.

C. By crashing through windows.

D. By jumping from fast moving trains.

7. Doing the job of falling from a high building， a stuntman ___ .

A. uses no tricks

B. needs no protection

C. is generally quite safe

D. will be covered with a mattress

8. What is the most important for a successful stuntman？

A. Being fast. B. Being brave.

C. Being exact. D. Being strong.

閱讀理解

Of the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children， this one is the most modest， but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle， and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know whos wishing for what， while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.

The sweetly reflective hero， a sixth-grader named Koichi， starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt （噴發(fā)）. Not just any volcano， but the one that towers above his town， smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing， which would lead， at least in his mind， to a reunion with his father and kid brother， whove been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano， knowing nothing of this， refuses to erupt， but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.

One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave—how Koichi attacks his dinner， for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But childrens thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of the baseball stars， who eats curry for breakfast; so he， too， starts eating curry for breakfast， instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog， Marble， back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for？ I wish youd see this delightful film to find out.

1. Why has the films name been changed from Miracle to I Wish？

A. The latter is plain and self-praising.

B. The former is hard for audience to remember.

Most people think that making a film is exciting. ?Earlier this year， I worked in a new film. It was about a bomb threat on a big British ship. Two hundred people were needed to act as the passengers in the film. I was one of them.

These were necessary because we would spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.

Then the day came and we sailed out of Dover. There were the film crew， the director， the actors and actresses including Brinksley Meers， who acted the leading role， and us—200 amateur （業(yè)余的） extras.

Some wanted to meet Brinksley Meers in person. Others were curious to see how a film was made. A housewife with her three children came for free holiday and a bit of adventure.

During the voyage， a lot of people were very seasick. ?We often worked all day on one scene， performing it again and again under the hot lights. In the evenings， there were drinks in the bar， but most people were so tired that they went to bed early.

When the ship finally returned to port， most people had enjoyed the trip， but were also so tired that they at least needed a weeks holiday.

A. They were very tired.

B. I could be a popular film star.

C. People came for different purposes.

D. In fact， sometimes it is but sometimes it isnt.

E. Although the work was very interesting， it was also very hard.

F. Before we left， we were wanted to bring some warm clothes.

G. The next day often began at 6：30 in the morning， sometimes with breakfast being filmed.

There are several reason for this. Firstly， college students aimed too high nowadays. All they want are good jobs which could offer to high payment and comfortable work conditions. Secondly， some companies think some students majors at college cannot meet our needs. The solution to the problem requires efforts of both the society or the students. The companies should value the students while latter should face their weak points so as to improving themselves and become more skilled.
