26、Tips for Preparing to Drive in Britain
When you’re planning on travelling a large distance in a short amount of time, the best way to transport yourself is by car. 【1】 In order to legally drive in the UK, you must adequately prepare yourself before attempting to get a UK driver’s license.
【2】
Some may wonder why the British driving requirements are much stricter than America’s. This answer all comes down to the history of how this country was set up. Hundreds of years ago, there weren’t motor vehicles. The windy and narrow roads were created mainly for carriages. 【3】
Learning the Lingo (术语)
While preparing for the UK driver’s testing, one of the most important aspects to focus on is learning what certain words, phrases, and signs mean while on the road. Many times, there will merely be a sign without words that you will have to obey. 【4】
Passing the Tests
The first test is the theory test. Within two years of passing this test, you will need to take the practical test. 【5】 You should feel confident to pass each test and be comfortable driving on dangerous streets of the UK.
A.Remembering the History.
B.Learning Road Conditions.
C.As a result, cars in the UK are smaller.
D.For this reason, safety on the road is vital.
E.However, this may be easier said than done.
F.It includes the off-road and on-road sections.
G.If you don’t know what that sign means, you could be in trouble.
27、The earth is the only planet that scientists think has life. Why does the earth have life while the other planets don’t? For one thing, the earth is just the right temperature. As the third planet from the sun, the earth seems to be just the right distance away. The planets which are closer to the sun are so hot. The farthest planets are cold balls.
When the earth developed—which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago—many gases covered the earth. The gases caused the earth to be hot. But something wonderful happened. The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form. It rained very hard for a very long time. This gave the earth its oceans. Water made it possible for plants to grow. The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.
Only one other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the earth. That planet is Mars(火星). Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler. But it is not too cold for humans. On some days, the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States. If you wore a special spacesuit, you could walk around on Mars. The most difficulty is that you have to bring your own air to breathe, because the air on Mars is too thin to breathe.
Mars has the largest volcano(火山) in the solar system. It is sixteen miles high. The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high. Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now. Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars? Scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so far.
【1】Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has life?
A. The earth is just the right temperature.
B. There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.
C. The volcanoes on the earth are lower than those on Mars.
D. The earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.
【2】The underlined phrase “the third planet” in the first paragraph refers to_______.
A. the Sun B. the Moon
C. the Earth D. the Mars
【3】Which of the following about the Mars is NOT true?
A. There is almost no oxygen in the air on Mars.
B. There could have been living things on Mars.
C. Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.
D. Mars is smaller and quite a bit cooler than the earth.
【4】Which is the first trouble for human to live on Mars?
A. The volcanoes. B. The temperature.
C. The air. D. The food.
【5】Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?
A. The Earth B. The Moon
C. Planets in the Solar System D. Mars is Most Like the Earth
28、What we choose to do is up to us. “Life is for living”, according to a well-used expression. That may not be completely true, but there is no harm in dreaming about what we’d like to achieve in our life. Many of us write a list of things we’d like to do before we leave this world — often called a bucket list.
Bucket lists have been called “the greatest hits of your life” and have helped some people overcome anxiety which would have stopped them following their dreams. Some of us may choose to write one to fill our life with exciting and new experiences — from skydiving to swimming with sharks — the list is unlimited. This is something the BBC radio programme “All in the Mind” has been looking at. It heard from a blogger called Annette White, who said she made a promise to live her bucket list which “continuously pushes the comfort zone to its limits and beyond it.” Such a list can be exciting and can indeed help you plan your life and give you focus.
Creating a bucket list can certainly give us hope, but Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told the BBC that he was “not really in favour of bucket lists, which take you away from the chance to be spontaneous (顺其自然的).” It’s probably true that a list can encourage people to follow someone else’s idea of the perfect life. But why not at least dream of what we would like to do? Why not reach for the stars, even if we only reach the sky? Whether we want to plan it or just see what happens, we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, so maybe we should live for today.
【1】What’s the purpose of “Life is for living” mentioned in Paragraph1?
A.To provide an evidence.
B.To make an explanation.
C.To make a comparison.
D.To draw out the topic to be discussed.
【2】Why is Annette White mentioned by the writer?
A.To prove what wide popularity bucket lists are.
B.To explain the working principle of bucket lists.
C.To show the helping functions of bucket lists.
D.To tell us the existing problems.
【3】What is Linda Blair’s attitude towards bucket lists?
A.Objective.
B.Disapproving.
C.Positive.
D.Indifferent.
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Whether we need a bucket list.
B.How we can make a bucket list.
C.How we can use our bucket list.
D.When we ignore our bucket list.
29、If you are new to music lessons and wonder which instrument might be best for your children, please read the guidelines on choosing an instrument. The first thing for you to consider is whether the instrument is age-appropriate or not.
Under 4 years old: We highly recommend a group class over private lessons. In our decades of experience with thousands of students, we have found it to be ineffective to force young children into the private lesson setting. We suggest that children are lovingly invited to explore the wonders and diversity (多样性) of sound (before being taught musical rules, theories, and techniques). Parents can do this at home, or you can try one of our group music classes like Family Music Time. Please click here for more information about Family Music Time or click here to fill out our free trial request form.
4 to 6 years old: As children’s coordination (协调性) and communication skills develop, parents may be recommended, to try private lessons at age 4 or 5. We do not recommend learning music in a theoretical or technical manner yet. Rather, we accept the nature, curiosity and creativity of this special age through our “Meet Music” program, or through lighthearted musical play at home with the family. You might also like our unique group class for preschoolers & kindergartners, called “A Sound Experience”. We promise, from the bottom of our hearts, that another 6 months or year of “play” before formal education will not leave your children behind. In fact, we have seen just the opposite! Please click here for more information or click here to fill out our free trial request form.
【1】What should parents consider first when they choose instrument for children?
A.The children’s age.
B.The children’s expectation.
C.The children’s dreams.
D.The children's interest.
【2】Which lessons are fit for the kids under 4 years old?
A.Private lessons.
B.Online weekly lessons.
C.Online daily lessons.
D.Group lessons.
【3】Where can the text be found?
A.In a research report.
B.In a newspaper about travel.
C.In an online advertisement.
D.In a cooking magazine.
