Here are some good choices for you.UCL Senate House HubUCL Senate House Hub opened in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. Whats more, you can check how many spaces are available online before you head to the hub! Located on the third floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as casual arm chairs and bar-style desks.UCL Eastman Dental LibraryThe newly refurbished UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along Grays Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am8:00 pm. The library has 72 study spaces, and many IT facilities are available. The library also has a study room for meetings and a computer room with an interactive whiteboard.UCL Language & Speech Science LibraryUCL Language & Speech Science Library (LaSS) has disabled access and has recently been refurbished to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LaSS is smaller than most other UCL Libraries and tends to fill up relatively quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.Senate House LibraryThis one may be cheating as the Senate House Library is not technically a UCL library. However, all UCL students and staff can register for free membership online. With millions of books and journals, Senate House Library offers some places a little less used by UCL students but perfect for getting down to some hard work.21.

He had a friend who sometimes went to school hungry. So Santi invited him to occasionally eat and sleep at his house. That friend had a friend and that friend had a friend, and now when you go to dinner at Kathy and Davids house on Thursday night there might be 15 to 20 teenagers gathering around the table, and later there will be groups of them crashing in the basement or in the few small bedrooms upstairs. The kids who show up at Kathy and Davids have suffered the pains of modern poverty: homelessness, hunger, abuse. And yet by some miracle, hostile soil has produced beautiful flowers. Kids come from around the city. Spicy chicken and black rice are served. Cellphones are banned. The kids who call Kathy and David “Momma” and “Dad,” are polite and clear the dishes. Birthdays and graduations are celebrated. Songs are performed. Each meal we go around the table and everybody has to say something nobody else knows about them. Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another. The adults in this community give the kids the chance to present their gifts. “At my first dinner, Edd read a poem that I first thought was from Langston Hughes, but it turned out to be his own. Kesari has a voice that somehow appeared from New Orleans jazz from the 1920s. Madeline and Thalya practice friendship as if it were the highest art form.”“They give us a gift complete intolerance of social distance. When I first met Edd, I held out my hand to shake his. He looked at it and said, “We hug here,” and weve been hugging since.”Bill Milliken, a veteran youth activist, is often asked which programs turn around kids lives. “I still havent seen one program change one kids life,” he says. “What changes people is relationships. Somebody is willing to walk through the shadow of the valley of adolescence with them.” Souls are not saved in bundles. Love is the necessary force.25. Why do kids come to Kathy and Davids house on Thursdays?A. To help the homeless at first hand.B. To experience the feeling of home.C. To learn about the modern poverty.D. To plant beautiful flowers in poor soil.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段和第二段最后一句“The kids who show up at Kathy and Davids have suffered the pains of modern poverty: homelessness, hunger, abuse.”可知，这些孩子都是一些无家可归或者遭受贫困的孩子们，他们来到Kathy和David的家里，是为了体验家的温暖。【答案】B 26.

Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another. ”可知，在这个家庭聚会的时候，孩子们不能使用手机，目的是希望他们多多体会家的温暖和相互之间能多点关爱。【答案】B27. What gift did the writer get at a Thursday dinner?A. The practice of the art form.B. The pleasure of enjoying jazz.C. The chance to listen to poems.D.

Its because eating processed meat can cause cancer, World Health Organization (WHO) experts said last Monday.Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by salting, smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHOs International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France studies 800 patients. The experts connected processed meat, such as hot dogs and bacon, with at least three kinds of cancer. A person who eats 50 grams of processed meat per dayabout two pieces of baconincreases his or her risk of bowel(肠) cancer by 18 percent.来源:Z_xx_k.ComThe IARC has included processed meat in its Group 1 list, for which there is “enough evidence” of connection with cancer. Tobacco is also on the Group 1 list.WHO experts also say red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, is “probably” carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans. Dr. Kurt Strait is with the IARC. He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a person eats. Health experts in some countries advised against eating large amounts of red and processed meat. But those suggestions had been centered on the increased risk of heart disease and obesity.However, meat industry groups protest the result of the WHO study. They say that meat is part of a balanced diet. They also say the causes of cancer are broad, and include environment and lifestyle factors.The WHO report cites the Global Burden of Disease project, which shows that diets high in processed meat lead to 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.29. It can be inferred that the items on the Group 1 list of the IARC _.A. are all processed foodsB. arent often eaten by peopleC. can be the most dangerous to humansD. can greatly increase the risk of cancer【解析】推理判断题。 根据文章第三段中的“The IARC has included processed meat in its Group 1 list, for which there is “enough evidence” of connection with cancer. Tobacco is also on the Group 1 list.”可知，第一组列表中的东西增加了患癌症的危险。【答案】D 30. What can take the place of the underlined word “protest”?A. Learn from. B. Disagree with. C. Take interest in. D. Pay attention to.【解析】词义猜测题。根据此前However一词以及后文中生产厂家所讲的肉类食品是均衡饮食的一部分以及导致癌症的原因有很多可知，肉类加工业的人士不认同世界卫生组织的研究结果。【答案】B 31. What can be used as the best title of the passage?A. WHO: Processed Meat Can Cause CancerB. The Importance of Having a Balanced DietC. Eating Too Much Red Meat Is Bad for HumansD. Scientists Found the Causes of Some Kinds of Cancer【解析】主旨大意题。 本文主要讲的是世界卫生组织的一项研究表明加工过的肉类食品致癌，由此可知A项为文章最佳标题。【答案】A DIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simpleeat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.来源:Z_xx_k.ComDuring experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine foods role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.32. According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who_.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的“And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.”可知，A项正确。【答案】A 33. The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that _.A. food plays an important role in earning peoples trustB. bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their bosss earn moreD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV【解析】细节理解题。 根据倒数第三段“The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.”可知，A项正确。【答案】A 34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasnt been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.【解析】推理判断题。 倒数第二段提到吃的东西相同或相似的两个人更容易获得对方的信任。【答案】A 35. Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Birds of a feather flock together. D.
