题目内容

YOU probably think you know about London’s problems. The people are unfriendly, it’s way too expensive, and the food is terrible - so why do so many tourists flock (蜂拥) there?

London was named the world’s most popular city between July and September 2013. It edged out other world-famous cities such as New York and Paris, welcoming 4.9 million visitors, according to the UK Office for National Statistics.

Amazingly, this was an increase of almost 19.5 percent on 2012 - the year when the Olympics happened in summer.

So can London’s success be explained? Well, maybe. As the English writer Samuel Johnson once said, “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life”. London life is often crazy and expensive, but if you can think of something, you can probably do it there.

Anywhere in the city, you can often look around a great museum such as the British Museum, watch a concert at a historic venue (场所) like the Royal Albert Hall, or dance the night away in a cool nightclub such as Fabric.

And it’s not just about culture – there are also world-famous sporting venues around the city. Many tourists like to watch soccer matches at stadiums such as Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, or Tottenham’s White Hart Lane. Tourists even came to watch British tennis player Andy Murray’s famous victory at the Wimbledon tennis tournament (锦标赛) in 2013.

Yes, but what about the food? Well, even if you don’t like British food – and if you’ve never had real fish and chips, or a summer pudding, then perhaps you should wait until you’ve tried them – there is plenty of great food from all over the world available in London’s many restaurants.

London, like many of its buildings, has a long history, but also never lacks a vibrant pulse (充满活力的脉搏). All over the city, history and modernity come together to make it an essential place for tourists to discover.

1.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?

A. To show the effects of the 2012 London Olympics.

B. To analyze why London appeals to tourists.

C. To compare London with other world-famous cities.

D. To talk about common problems in London.

3.In Samuel Johnson’s eyes, life in London is probably ______.

A. relaxed B. boring

a. it is a city rich in culture and attractions

b. most local people are friendly

c. the sporting venues around the city are worthy of a visit

d. British food enjoys a good reputation among visitors

Sending your child to piano or violin lessons in an attempt to improve their academic achievement is a waste of money, according to scientists. 1. research has shown that youngsters who take music lessons are more likely to be top of their class, Professor Glenn Smith claims this link is 2.(mislead).

“Music may change you a bit, but it’s also the case that different children take music lessons,” said Professor Smith of the University of Toronto, 3. added that parents’ education had most influence on musicality.

“Children who take music lessons come from families with incomes 4. (high) than average. They come from families with more 5.(educate) parents, they also do more extra-curricular activities, they are more likely to learn 6. instrument, and they do better at school.”

“We 7.(motivate) by the fact that kids who take music lessons are particularly good students. In school they actually do better than you would predict from their IQ. So 8.(obvious) something else is going on. We thought that 9.(person) might be the thing.” Professor Smith explained, “Clearly studying music changes the brain, but so does any learning. In fact, that is 10. learning is,” he added.

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, and no cages either. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the rope of the same size to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away.”

The man was amazed. These animals can break free from their bonds at any time, but because they believe they can’t, they are stuck right where they are.

Twelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. “A baby!” he shouted. “Get down here, and flag down a police car or something.” By nature, Danny is a remarkably calm person, so when I felt his heart pounding through the phone line, I ran.

When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.

Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to give an account of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby?” The question stunned everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes.”

“But I know it’s not that easy,” he said.

“Well, it can be,” assured the judge before barking out orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.

My first reaction, when I heard, went something like: “Are you crazy? How could you say yes without consulting me?”

In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child. I was an ambitious playwright working as a part-time word processor. Danny was a respected yet wildly underpaid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.

We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they wanted to adopt. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t know how to change a diaper(尿布), let alone nurse a child. I didn’t trust the system and was sure there would be obstacles. Also, I couldn’t handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn’t get attached.

The caretaker held him and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he represented, I, like Danny, was completely hooked.

1.Why did the author rush to the subway station?

A. Because Danny finally found their long lost son.

B. Because she sensed Danny met something urgent.

C. Because Danny was knocked down by a police car.

D. Because Danny wasn’t a remarkably calm person by nature.

2.How did the author react on hearing Danny’s answer to the judge’s question?

A. Surprised by the question.

B. Crazy to be a parent-to-be.

C. Annoyed at Danny’s decision.

D. Interested in adopting this baby.

3.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_________.

A. the author will adopt the baby

B. the caretaker will take the baby away

C. the couple love each other very much

D. the baby will bring hope to the family

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To introduce a story of a poor family.

B. To inform people of how to adopt a baby.

C. To call on people to donate money to them.

D. To show human’s kindness and love by nature.
