Knights，scholars and the highwayman (拦路强盗）or thief，who had been infamous for his clever robberies, passed by each other.Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servantsall held by chance or interest within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own towns residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and mens interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.21.What was London like in Shakespeares eyes when he first went there?A.Dirty and small.B. Strange and interesting.C. Infamous and terrible.D. Familiar and modem.22.Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?A.Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.B.Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.C.Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.D.Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.23.What does the word “one” in paragraph 5 refer to?A. Crowd.B. Sight.C. Face.D. Resident24.The passage probably comes from_. A. a posterB. a textbook.C. an advertisement D.an announcementBBeing physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%, according to new UCL research carried out as part of the Public Health Research Center.The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found a two-way relationship between depression and physical activity. People who increased their weekly activity reported fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages.Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood. They found that each additional activity period per week reduced odds of depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as inactive, and this study suggests that activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.“Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression. If an adult between their twenties and forties who isnt physically active became active 3 times per week, they would reduce their risks of depression by about 16%,” says Dr Snehal of the UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study.Professor Mark, Director of the Public Health Research Center, said: “Many people are already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more evidence that suggest it also has a positive effect on a persons mental well-being. The latest research highlights just how important it is to ensure that people are working and living in environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy.”,25.The underlined word “odds” probably means_ .A.benefitsB. intervalsC. risksD. ages26.According to the second paragraph, if people increase their weekly activity, _.A.their depressive symptoms will be fewerB.their depressive symptoms will be moreC.they will become much youngerD.they will become more depressive27.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Dr. Snehal thinks it important to be both physically and mentally healthy.B.The research shows men are more active in physical activities than women.C.Adults who insist on physical activity will reduce depression completely.D.Increasing physical activities can free people from depression in a way.28.What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A.To tell us a fun story about how to protect us against depression.B.To introduce a research on the link between activity and depression.C.To persuade readers to increase their weekly activity.D.To describe the disadvantages of physical activity.CStanding desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity.

The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their position. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the users preferences over time and suggest the best seating position.The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden.“ Ikeas height adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.29.What is the text mainly about?A.Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.B.Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.C.Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.D.The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market：30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.B.The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.C.Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.D.The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.31.The Stir Kinect desk_.A.can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button once.B.can charge phones by using a device containing power point.C.can tell you how many calories you need for a walkD.can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time32.What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse that_.A.Ikeas adjustable desk will be popular with average people.B.Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.C.This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.D.It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.DJackson Language School SummerOpening and Closing TimesThe Jackson Language School is open each day except Sunday.
