visit, enjoy and discover. every year hundreds and thousands of people come to the uk. and london, the capital city, is usually their first stop. what can they see? what can they experience!getting around in london is not difficult. there is the underground train, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. a boat trip along the river thames takes you to the tower of london. going around the city center on foot is easy. the maps in the streets will show you what is around you in five-minute walk. you can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge wheel, the london eye. look across the river and you will see the houses of parliament and the famous clock tower, big ben.there are over 240 museums in the capital, but the two most popular are in south kensington and cost nothing to get into. in the natural history museum, the key word is big. next to it is the science museum. it has those great british inventions, the history of flight and exploration (探索) of space.31. for many tourists, london is their _ stop when they are traveling in the uk.a. first b. second c. third d. lost32. going around the city center on foot is easy because _.a. big ben is across the river b. the maps in the streets will help youc. it take only five minutes d. you can gets great view of the city33. the natural history museum is next to _.a. big ben b. the tower of londonc. london eye d. the science museum bwhat is the first thing you want to do when you see someone yawn(打哈欠)? you want to yawn, too! yawning is contagious. scientists have found that all people yawn. babies start to yawn even before they are horn. the earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. when young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. thats why scientists seem to think yawning is contagious. its no secret that yawning is contagious, but why do we yawn? well, scientists are not really sure. some think we yawn because we feel bored. recently scientists studied two groups of students between the ages of 17 and 19. one group watched music videos, and the other watched a boring color test. scientists compared the numbers of their yawns and found that the color test group yawned more times than the video group. another reason about yawning has to do with breathing. some scientists believe that when we are bored or tired, we breathe more slowly. as our breathing slows down, we cannot get rid of(去除) enough carbon dioxide (co2) in our bodies. when there is too much carbon dioxide, our bodies will tell the brains (大脑) to breathe deeply. the result is a big yawn. in 2007, scientists suggested a new reason. they said that the reason people yawned was to cool down their brains. these scientists found that people who were warmer than others yawned more often. scientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. but they are only sure that when one person yawns, almost everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.34. the underlined word contagious in paragraph 1 means . a. helpful to our health b. passing from one person to another c. hard to understand d. getting into one trouble after another35. according to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are . a. born b. one year old c. 17 or 19 years old d. inside their mothers36. which of the following are the possible reasons about yawning according to the passage? people yawn because they are bored. people yawn to catch others attention. people yawn to cool down their brains. people yawn to get rid of carbon dioxide. a. g. c. d. 37. we can probably read this passage in a _ _. a. story book b. travel guidebook c. movie poster d. science magazine csylvan goldman, an american supermarket owner, invented the shopping trolley (购物车) in the 1930s. the reasons why he invented the trolley was not just to help shoppers carry their shopping, but also to encourage them to buy more. to create the first trolleys, goldman used folding chairs. he put one basket on the seat, and he raised the chair by putting wheels under the legs. so people could shop with them. but he was disappointed to find that business did not improve. many shoppers wouldnt like to use the trolleys, because they were afraid they might not be able to control(控制) them. however, goldman didnt give up his idea because he knew that people could be easily influenced. he tried again, and this time his ideas seemed to work. crowds of people were seen coming from his supermarket with trolleys. their trolleys were full of goods (商品). others, after seeing theme began to believe that the trolleys were safe after all. what they did not know was that they were cheated (欺骗), goldman paid those people they saw to actas shoppers happily pushing full trolleys.38. sylvan goldman was an american in the story. a. movie star b. supermarket owner c. chair inventor d. basketball player39. picture might be the first shopping trolley.40. the word can best describe goldman. a. funny b. honest c. creative d. friendly41. the right order of the following is _. a. many shoppers began to use the trolleys. b. goldman invented the shopping trolleys. c. goldman paid some people for using the trolleys. d. few shoppers would like to use the trolleys. a. b-d-e-a b. b-a-d-c c. a-d-c-b d. a-b-d c da little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached a desert .the stream then thought, ive been through countless difficulties. i should have no problem crossing this desert ! but as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. after many tries, she still failed add was very unhappy maybe i cant reach the ocean in the end ,she said sadly to herself, at this lime, a deep voice came, if a breeze(微风)can cross the desert, so can a river .” it was the voice of the desert. but the little stream replied, thats because a breeze can fly, but i cannot. thats because you cant give up what you are. if you like to do it, and left yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean .”said the desert, give up what i am now and disappear into the breeze? no !no !the little stream could not accept this idea. after all, she had never experienced anything like it before. the breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. the rain will form a river again to continue its course, explained the desert very patiently. and whether youre a river or vapor, your nature never changes ,”continued the desert. hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze , while carried her to the next stage of her life. the course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. if you want to overcome(克服) the difficulties in your life to head for the success ,you should also change the way you used to be. 42. before the stream reached the desert, she didnt _ . a . believe in herself . b. meet any difficulties c. want to cross the dessert d. worry about the journey to the ocean 43.the underlined word it in paragraph 3 refers to(指的是)_ . a .stream b. breeze c. vapor d. desert44. the last paragraph mainly tells us _ . a. our lives are as easy as the little streams b. it is difficult for us to succeed c. we must keep the way we used to be d. we should change the way we used to be to succeed sometimes45. from the passage, we know that the stream in the end. a. crossed the desert b. stopped her journey c. failed to reach the ocean d. disappeared in the air ein the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. it was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. in those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. but then in 1930,a woman called ellen church invented the “stewardess”.ellen church was born in 1904 on a farm in iowa. she was a different child. she didnt want to work on a farm or marry a farmer she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. ellen studied to be a nurse at the university of minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. for the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilots license. ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with boeing air transport. she loved flying but she understood that airlines were a mans world. although women like emelia earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .but she had another idea. most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. there were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and b.a.t. agreed.the young woman from iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.at first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. in 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. the early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. when a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. it was hard job and not well paid. they worked long hours and earned 1 an hour.in the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. they are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.46. the last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _.a. the word “stewardess” was made up by ellen churchb. ellen church was the first woman who flew a planec. ellen church was the first woman who worked on a planed. ellen church was the first woman passenger on a plane47. from the second paragraph, we learn that _.a. ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girlsb. ellens family was not rich enough to support her educationc. ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitald. ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely48. the main reason for boeing air transport offering ellen the job was _.a. her flying experience b. her university educationc. her nursing experience d. her life attitudes49. according to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to _ if she wanted to be a stewardess.a. be a nurse b. be marriedc. be a motherd. be young50. the passage mainly talks about _.a. the background of early flying pilots b. the experience of flying passengersc. the history of early flight attendants d. the development of airplanes四、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）51. where is the national th
