It is the bridge in London you may see in movies and on advertising writing for London. Tower Bridge is the only Thames bridge that can be raised. It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but nowadays it is only raised 4 to 5 times a week.London BridgeThe construction of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176 and finished years later. Houses and shops were once built on the bridge, which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people, horses and carts. A “keep left” rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving. This became the rule of the road in Britain. In 1757 the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in 1831.Interestingly, that one was pulled down again in 1967 but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City, the USA, as a tourist attraction. The present London Bridge was opened in 1973.Millennium BridgeMillennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers. It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the city and St Pauls Cathedral in 2000.Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge. Almost immediately after opening, the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors. It has now been reopened. The bridge is about 320 meters, costs 16 million pounds to build and only takes walkers.Westminster BridgeWestminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the Thames between Westminster and Lambeth. The present bridge, opened in 1862, is the second on the site and took the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750.The British romantic poet, William Wordsworth, wrote a famous poem Composed upon Westminster Bridge in the autumn of 1802.21. If there were a huge ship on the Thames, it could run through_.A. Westminster Bridge B. Millennium Bridge C. Tower Bridge D. London Bridge22. According to the passage, we can infer that_.A. London Bridge is not a very wide bridgeB. Tower Bridge is the oldest one among the four bridgesC. Millennium Bridge is a dangerous bridgeD. William Wordsworth likes Westminster Bridge most among the four bridges23. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The 1831 London Bridge is now in the USA.B. Tower Bridge is much less frequently lifted today than before.C. Cars and buses are not allowed to cross Millennium Bridge.D. Westminster Bridge is for walkers only.BAfter achieving huge success in the past two seasons, Letters Alive returns with more surprises. The show is performed first on Chinas major video platform, , and then is aired on Heilongjiang Satellite TV on Saturdays. Letters penned by celebrities（名人）ages ago, or modern ordinary people, are chosen and then read by todays stars, striking a chord（引起共鸣）with audiences by presenting human stories.According to Guan Zhengwen, the shows chief director, the letters offer a view into universal values. “There is only one standard in our selection. That is, these letters deserve to be seen by more people,” the director said.“Different cultural backgrounds do exist in the world, but human nature can bridge different cultures. Peoples understanding of themselves, others and society can be understood through writing, and thats the power of letters,” the director said. “Chinese letters are still the mainstay of the program, but the addition of classic letters from abroad is certain to bring more tastes to it,” he added.As a rule, the 12-episode（一集）culture program has invited many well-known Chinese celebrities. In comparison with the former two seasons, more young artists are taking part this time. “Our programs viewers under the age of 29 account for more than 75 percent of the total. However, the popularity of celebrities among the young generation is not our selection preference,” Guan said.Also it is worth noting that the program has added a comment time. Each time a letter is read, a famous commentator sits in the studio and shares his feelings toward the letter and tells viewers the stories behind letters. “The commentators views do not stand for the truth, as there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes,” the director said. “But they, based on their vision and experience, will express positive social energy to viewers.”24. What does the underlined word “aired” probably mean in the first paragraph? A. Advertised. B. Broadcast. C. Sold. D.Made.25. Why are some classic letters from abroad chosen by the show? A. To make the show more colorful. B. To attract more young audiences. C. To bring more fashion to the program. D. To cover the shortage of Chinese letters.26. What is new about the program? A. Foreign artists will be invited for the first time. B. More stars favored by the young will be chosen. C. There will be an explanation after the reading is finished. D. Viewers will have a chance to read their own letters in the show.27. Where can we read this text? A. In an advertisement. B. In a history textbook. C. In a fashion magazine. D. In a news report.CDo you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isnt to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.Researchers from the university of California, Santa Barbara, found an association between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: complete a difficult task; complete an easy task; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way.When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.28. The “unusual-use task” in Paragraph 2 means that participants _.A. complete an easy task B. complete a very difficult taskC. take a 12-minute breakD. think of various ways to use an object29. Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?A. They were not actively working to solve the easy task.B. They daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.C. They were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.D. They skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.30. What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Your brain wanders in a subtle way within your control.B. Your brain knows clearly what youre thinking and doing.C. Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness.D. Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.31. The passage mainly wants to tell us that _.A. brainstorming is important to creative ideas.B. daydreaming is a way to improve creativity.C. problem-solving skills are important in our lives.D. the more we exercise brains, the more ideas well get.DBefore uploading a photo of ourselves to social media, chances are that well use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and lips fuller. With a couple of taps on our mobile phone, we can get a quick fix and present the “best” version of ourselves to the world. However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, were also changing the way we look at ourselves. Last month, researchers published the article Selfies Living in the Era of Filtered Photographs. The article analyzed photo editing apps bad influences on peoples self-respect and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties. The researchers also warned that such apps make it difficult to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article reads. In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of famous persons. But for todays young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of self-worth can be based purely on the number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look.” British cosmetic doctor Tijion Esho told The Independent. This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble whenit comes to appearance.“Now youve got this daily comparison of your real self to this fake self that you present on social media.” Renee Engeln, a professor of psychology, told the HuffPost website. Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. “Because between you and the world is a mirror, its a mirror that travels with you everywhere. You cant seem to put it down.” she told The Washington Post. So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldnt think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the filtered(过滤的) photos?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good; I have my health.”32.Before uploading a photo to social media, we will probably _.A. have an operation to make our eyes look bigger. B. use some cream to smooth our skinC. use an app to fix our photo D. edit our perfections away33.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. In many ways, photo edition apps are beneficial to people.B. Photo edition apps are likely to cause peoples anxieties about their appearance.C. Photo edition apps can make us more beautiful.D. Photo edition apps help people judge realistic beauty.34.When it comes to appearance, why do many young people suffer an identity trouble?A. Because they compare their looks to those of famous persons.B. Because beauty standards are set by social media.C. Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their own likes and dislikes.D. Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their appearance.35.According to Engeln, we should _.A. feel good about what we actually look likeB. spend more time making comparison of our real self to fake self C. take a mirror with us everywhereD .try to look as good as ourselves in the filtered photos第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Last week when I was reading at home, my younger sister rushed in and told me an old man was lying on the ground in front of our building.
