It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasnt a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (计量) journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.In fact, in the earliest maps, people didnt draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasnt the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (设计) for the Underground map wasnt very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. Its really difficult to get lost!21 . What was drawn in the earliest maps?AStars.BLandmarks.CCities and towns,DMountains and rivers.22 . When did road maps come out?AAround 15th and 16th centuries.BWhen people began to travel by train.CWhen people began to travel by sea.DWhen cities and towns appeared.23 . Which of the following is true?AA GPS helped people to travel long time ago.BAncient people could travel on a horse without maps.CThe sky was polluted by light before cities were built.DHenry Becks map wasnt popular with the passengers.24 . What is the main idea of the passage?AMaps have a long history.BWe never get lost these days.CWe cant travel without maps.DHenry Beck designed a new map.阅读下面短文，从每小题A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并将其字母标号填入题前的括号内。The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China.

Im visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city of Valencia in Spain. Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have probably never heard of this festival before. Neither had I. The tomato festival is called La Tomatina in Spanish. It was the biggest and messiest tomato fight in the world. When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded with people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol. The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody. After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed with red. There was no winner in this fight, but we all had fun. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped throwing. I really had a great time, I wish you were here, too. I hope I hear from you soon. Take care.

Every festival has its own celebration activities and my favourite festival is Diwali (光明节). Every autumn I go to stay with my cousins, so we can celebrate Diwali together.Diwali is the biggest festival in India and people celebrate it all over the world. It is a magical time for children because of the lights. We light candles and lamps(灯), called diyas, in our homes. All the streets, houses and shops are decorated with lights. Diwali comes from the Sanskrit (梵语) word Deep-awali which means rows of lights.On the morning of Diwali, I go to the temple with my family. On this occasion, we get dressed in our best clothes. My grandmother always buys me a new sari(沙丽) to wear for Diwali every year. We spend a long time getting ready, putting on bright clothes and jewellery. Lots of
