step forward. am i about to take the leap before bungee-jumping? 22 , im about to cross the road on my way to work. there have been a few articles in the press over the last couple of months about chinese- style road crossing. the definition of this 23 is a large number of people jaywalking(乱穿马路) together because they feel 24 in a big group.crossing the road is a simple task but sometimes it can be time-consuming and dangerous. it can be 25 to try and rush across the road whilst the red 26 is still lit; its only a short distance, whats the 27 that can happen?many pedestrians dont seem to understand the 28 they are taking. if the lights on green then most drivers wont pay attention, 29 that no one will be crossing the road. if the driver does notice, its possible that they may not have the 30 stopping distance to be able to stop 31 hitting the person. also, stepping out on to a road at the wrong 32 causes vehicles to slow down, meaning the cars behind them have to slow down, creating a 33 effect possibly even a long tailback (车辆长队). 34 , it can be difficult to stick to the rules when there is 35 pedestrian-friendly crossings and it seems that drivers dont follow the rules, either. even if the green man is showing, cars are still allowed to turn right at many lights, often turning into large crowds of people 36 crossing the road. many times these cars dont slow down, meaning pedestrians have to quickly move out of the way. it also means that people 37 cross the road when they should be allowed to -maybe this is a motivating factor for so-called jaywalkers.driving a car doesnt mean you have more rights. its a privilege and with that privilege comes a lot of 38 . it doesnt seem completely 39 to punish pedestrians for taking matters into their own hands on a road system thats designed against them. a rethink of the way pedestrian crossing work and driver education may 40 a stop to “chinese- style road crossing.”21.a. hold b. cross c. bendd.

handsome man standing outside a young womans window, singing a love song to her to win her over. however, trying to woo a female with songs is not just something that humans do. a few animals sing love songs as well. birds and elephants are romantic but the latest animal to serenade a female might surprise you-it is the humble mouse. scientists also found the part of the brain that controls the mices singing ability. in the experiment, they damaged the cells in this part of the mices brain and found that the animals couldnt keep their songs in pitch or repeat them any more. this also happened when the mice became deaf. jarvis said that this finding had changed his understanding of the way mice make sound. “in mice we find that the pathways that are at least modulating (调整) these vocalizations (发声法) are in the forebrain, in places where you actually find them in humans,” he said. “if were not wrong, these findings will be a big boost（促进）to scientists studying diseases like autism（自闭症）and anxiety disorders.”41.whats the possible meaning of the underlined word “serenade”?a. to sing love songs.b. to challenge others.c. to hug others.d. to fight for love.42. which of the following is proven wrong by the latest discovery?a. the frequency of mices voice is so high that its impossible for humans to hear it.b. when male mice make special sounds to females they cant control the sounds.c. birds and elephants are both romantic animals that are good at expressing love.d. animals like mice are smart even though they often make sounds randomly.43.what do parrots, whales and dolphins have in common according to the passage?a. they are all animals well-known for their smart appearances.b. they are often chosen to carry out scientific experiments on.c. they all

interesting news from a newspaper:girls crazy historical costumesstella ehrhart, a us third-grader, dresses up as a different historical figure every day before school-yes, you heard right! the 8-year-old has been coming to class in a different persona (人物) daily since the second day of second grade, when she showed up as american author laura ingalls wilder. stella gets ideas for what to wear from the book 100 most important women of the 20th century. however, in the past she has also dressed up as fictional characters including hermione granger from harry potter. the eager student managed to get through the entire second grade without repeating herself, but now she is running out of ideas. the girls parents, who are both theater professionals, say they support their daughters “creativity”. her mother told uk news website the huffington post, “she goes into her closet and just picks out what she wants each day.”learning soarshow do you get a childs early education off the ground? a head teacher in the georgian city of rustavi has found a unique way of creating an exciting learning environment. he has transformed a plane into a kindergarten. gari chapidze bought an old but functional yakovlev yak-42 from georgian airways and filled it with education equipment, games and toys, but left the cockpit (驾驶舱) untouched so it could be used as a play area. “the idea was to create a kindergarten where children gowith joy,” chapidze, who runs the kindergarten, told afp. “the children come in to the kindergarten with pleasure and cry when they have to go home. they are happy here,” he added.taxi driver gets lucky in las vegasbright lights and big wins-this is what las vegas is known for, and even the taxi drivers here get lucky. well, at least recently one did. adam woldemarim, 42, discovered $ 221,510 in the back of his van after a long day at work. the money was in a laptop case left between the seats of the virgin valley cab. what did woldemarim do with the cash? he turned it in. the ethiopian driver soon got a call from the cases owner who, according to the las vegas review-journal, had “won big” and was on his way to the airport when he realized he had forgotten his winnings. woldemarim was given a $ 2,000 reward. but it was reported that the drivers fellow taxi drivers thought he should have got a lot more.eat crickets (蟋蟀) and worms at a museumthe academy of natural sciences in philadelphia is putting on a night for meat eaters who want to try some unusual foods. it is hosting a cocktail party on oct 27 called cuisine from the collections. the food on the menu is inspired by the exhibited specimen (标本) at the museum. the event is for adults only. lets hope they dont get a stomach bug from all the insects!46.stella ehrhart gets the idea to

poord. all the girls love fancy clothes and costumescthe philippines is fast becoming the worlds low-cost english language teacher - with rapid increases in overseas students coming to learn english or study in english-speaking universities. there might be other countries that people think about as a classic place to learn english, such as the uk, the us or australia. but there is one key reason that they are switching to the philippines. its much cheaper. we have very competitive rates compared with other countries, says english teacher, jesy king, citing her schools fees of $500 (313) for a 60-hour class-about a third of the price of an equivalent course in the us or canada.another major advantage is the accent. filipinos speak with a clear american accent - partly because the philippines were a us colony for five decades, and partly because so many people here have spent time working in call centers for the us market. these centers train their staff to sound indistinguishable from americans, so callers never realize that the person theyre speaking to is on the other side of the world.student numbers are growing rapidly. and its not just english language students who are coming to the philippines - theres also been a rapid increase in the number of foreigners applying for graduate and post-graduate courses in all kinds of fields. the main reasons that attract them are, again, the cost - and the fact that, in the countrys top universities, all classes are held in english.dr alvin culaba, the executive vice-president of de la salle - one of the countrys top universities - is confident that the level of teaching in his institution can compete with that found anywhere in the world. our programs are very comparable, or sometimes even better, than in the us and europe, he says. de la salle already has a lot of students from china and japan, but theres recently been an increase in europeans. elizaveta leghkaya, a russian engineering student, is one of them. she looked at courses in canada, australia and new zealand, but the program at de la salle was a quarter of the price of the others. here its much cheaper, and im really confident that the qualification ill get is just the same, she says. she had found other benefits of studying in the philippines too. its a good experience, as its a different style of life than id get in europe. its interesting to learn the culture. but studying in the philippines isnt for the faint-hearted. living here means coping with the bureaucracy and corruption (官僚腐败), and if youre in manila, the heavy pollution. and then theres the fact that many filipinos speak a rather different language than the rest of the english-speaking world. the philippines markets itself as being the third largest english-speaking nation - after the us and the uk - a fact proudly displayed on the department of tourism website. and in a way, thats true. most people speak at least basic english, and the well-educated speak it fluently. but a lot of people speak taglish - a mix of english and the local language tagalog - which is often difficult for foreigners to understand. for a foreign student trying to learn english, this will undoubtedly present some challenges.51.from the above passage we can learn that _.a. the fact that the local people speak taglish is an attraction to foreignersb. the education quality in russia is far behind that of the philippinesc. not all the foreign students go to the philippines to learn englishd. only students from china and japan like to study in the philippines52. one advantage about studying in the philippines is that _.a. the living costs there are much lower than other countriesb. people there speak english with an american accentc. student numbers are growing rapidly thered. de la salle there is a very good university53.the method the writer uses to develop paragraph 4 is _.a. providing explanationsb. offering analysesc. listing datad. giving examples54.which of the following best describes the writers tone in the passage?a. approving b. objectivec. criticald. doubtfuldas i write this, i have half an eye on an old james bond film that is showing on my comp
