26、In the last few years, “bikesharing” companies like oBike, ofo, and Mobike began flooding (挤满) streets in places like China, Japan, Australia, and Singapore with bikes. But it didn’t take long before there were too many companies and too many bikes on the streets. Soon many companies went out of business, leaving behind thousands of unused rental bikes. Many of them were completely new.
Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized that though these bikes didn’t have any value where they were, they could do a lot of good for schoolchildren in Myanmar. Some children in Myanmar travel an hour or more on foot every day to get to school. Soon, Mr. Than Tun Win had raised around $400,000 for the LessWalk project. About half of the money was his own, and the other half was given by companies.
The LessWalk project bought thousands of new rental bikes from failed companies and shipped them to Myanmar. Once in Myanmar, the bikes are changed to make them more useful for students. The rental bikes used to require a smartphone app to unlock them. LessWalk changed this for a lock with a key. They also added a second place to sit at the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school on one bike. Recently they’ve added another change — they’re using special tires that don’t go flat to take the place of the bike’s regular tires. With all the changes, Mr. Than says each bike costs LessWalk about $35.
Giving out the bikes takes a little longer, since LessWalk wants to make sure that the bikes go to the students who need them the most. The project is working with Myanmar’s government and schools to focus on poor students who walk close to two hours a day to school.
Though LessWalk only began in March, the project has already brought around 22,500 bikes into Myanmar and has given out over 1,000 bikes. Mr. Than Tun Win hopes to bring in as many as 100,000 bikes and expand the program to Laos and Cambodia.
【1】What is the function of the first paragraph in the passage?

C.They only allow an hour of use a day.
D.They require a smartphone app to unlock them.
【4】Why does giving out the bikes take a little longer?
A.There aren’t enough bikes for the locals.
B.The locals show little interest in bikes.
C.The project has to pick out its users carefully.
D.The project hasn’t yet received the local government’s support.
27、 With exams just around the comer, now is a good time to explore some of UCL’s lesser-known (鲜为人知的)study spaces and get down to some revision. Here are some good choices for you:
UCL Senate House Hub
UCL Senate House Hub opened in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. What’s more, you can check how many spaces are available online, before you head to the place. Located on the 3rd floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as armchairs and computers.
UCL Eastman Dental Library
The newly-redecorated UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along Gray’s Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 8 pm. The library has 72 study spaces and many IT facilities (设备).The library also has a study room for meetings, and a computer room with a whiteboard.
UCL Language & Speech Science Library
UCL Language & Speech Science Library (LaSS) has disabled access and has recently been redecorated to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LaSS is smaller than most UCL libraries and tends to fill up quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.
Senate House Library
This one may be cheating as Senate House Library is not technically a UCL library. However, all UCL students and staff can register (注册)for free membership online. With millions of books and journals, Senate House Library offers some places which are a little less used by UCL students but perfect for students who want to focus on some hard work.
【1】Who are the four places mainly introduced to?

B.Those who is preparing for exams.
C.Those who likes learning online.

28、Slang is a popular, less official and often very current form of language. It is an important part of a living language and is constantly changing as language changes. Slang is often playful, direct and sometimes less respectful than the more official and traditional version of language. So now I'm going to lay it on you! To “lay it on” is American slang for “to tell” or “to explain.”
Slang can take many forms. For example, slang can be local to one city or area. In Washington, D.C. there is a whole set of slang to describe politics and business in the city. For example, the term POTUS stands for President of the United States. POTUS can often be found with his wife, FLOTUS, the first lady of the United States. “Inside the Beltway” is a popular expression that describes the area of Washington, D.C. The beltway is the large highway that circles the city.
The Internet has helped create a whole new kind of computer-related slang. An “angry fruit salad” is an expression that describes a website with too many bright colors. “Netiquette” is slang for correct behavior when using the Internet.
Young people often develop the latest slang. For example, to say Special English “rocks” or is “phat” means Special English is really great. A “kegger” is a party where beer is served. If something is “wack”, it is wild and crazy.
Different professions often have their own slang as well. For example, medical workers might refer to a complaining patient as a “gomer”. A "tough stick" is someone whose veins are difficult to find when he or she needs to have blood taken.
No matter how well you speak English, there are always new and interesting slang words to discover. There are entire dictionaries for describing slang. Many experts do not even agree on what is and what is not slang. Often slang words later become a part of officially accepted language. Official or not, slang is an energetic and exciting part of the American language that continues to change.
【1】Which of the following is NOT true for slang compared with the official language?
A. Playful B. Direct
C. Less respectful D. More official
【2】It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. if you speak English very well, there is no problem for you to understand English speakers
B. slang words are created by people in their daily life
C. English speakers are clear whether it is a slang
D. slang words will never be accepted as official language
【3】Which of the following is not mentioned to have helped create slang?
A. The internet. B. Young people.
C. President of the United States. D. Professions
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. What is slang? B. Slang is popular.
C. Who creates slang? D. Slang is a language.
29、Last summer holiday, Aunt Emily took us to a safari park (野生动物园), not far from Liverpool.
I was very happy to go as I had never been to a safari park before. It’s a very interesting park, full of wild animals running freely.
When we got there, we bought our tickets and drove into the park. We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions.

Mr. Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Field's, Chicago. 【1】 in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department stores. Mr. Selfridge had done well with Marshall Field's. He liked to say, 'The customer is always right, ' which made the Chicago store popular.
