19.Like all big cities,Paris has a traffic problem:lots of cars,lots of traffic jams(阻塞) and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes(废气).So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the si tuation.
Under the Velib sc heme(‘Velib'comes from velo liberte,or‘bicycle freedom'),people can take a bicycle,use it for as long as they want,and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station.The first half-hour on the bike is free,but if you don't return it after 30 minutes,you have to pay.But it's only∈1 a day or∈29 a year!The bicycles are heavy (25 kg),and they are all grey and have baskets.There are about 20,000 of them in the city,and around 1,450 bicycle stations.So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
 Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this.But not everybody thinks it's a great idea.One Parisian said,"These bicycles are only for short journeys.If people want to travel across the city,they won't use a bicycle-they'll still use their cars."
 A city spokesman said,"The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems,of course.But it might help reduce air pollution.Traffic,together with factory fumes,is a big problem.There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities.But unless we do something now,there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise,so the problems in our environment will get worse.The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life,too."
21.What can we learn about the Velib scheme?D
A.Its bikes have no baskets.
B.Its bikes are light and colorful.
C.People must return the bike to the same place after using it.
D.It owns more stations than the subway.
22.If you use a Velib for 1 hour,you should payA.
A.∈1              B.∈30              C.∈29             D.no money
23.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?C
A.The cost is rather high.
B.It's hard to find a Velib station.
C.It's not suitable for a long journey.
D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.
24.What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?B
A.Doubtful         B.Positive.C.Uncaring.D.Worried.

11.Ireland has had a very difficult history.The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland.For hundreds of years,the Irish people fought against the English.Finally,in 1921.The British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland.The result is that today there are two"Irelands".Northern Ireland.In the north,is part of the United Kingdom.The republic of Ireland,In the south,Is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop,potatoes was affected by disease and about 750,000people died of hunger.This,and a shortage (短缺) of work,forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA,the UK,Australia and Canada.As a result of these problems,the population fell from 8.2million in 1841to 6.6million in 1851.
For many years,the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers.Today,many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside,where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly,Oscar Wilde,a famous Irish writer,once said that the Irish were"the greatest talkers since the Greeks",Since independence,Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music,language,literature and singing.Different areas have different styles of old Irish song which are sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin,whistles,etc.

8.Whether you've been in college or you're looking forward to going to university in the future,you and your family likely spend some time worrying about the cost of your college education.(36)F However,that will pay off for years to come.Earning scholarships is a great way to help you.The Financial Aid Office at Illinois State helps students identify scholarship opportunities every day.Here is some advice to help you.
•(37)E
Have you asked your high school or community college financial aid office about scholarships at your school?Many schools have a list of several scholarships right there.(38)D Check with community organizations,banks and credit unions,and large employers who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area.
•Find your"hook"
(39)A.Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out.Pay special attention to awards that mention your best qualities,whether that's academic achievements,leadership,community service,or something less common.Think about why a donor wants to assist you in paying for your education.Most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior.Companies may want to attract future employees.
•Develop a routine
Every scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply,what you need to turn in,when the winner is announced,and how the money is given to you.(40)B There isn't a single application or search engine that allows you to find and apply for everything.Visit the website for the Office of Student Financial Aid for lists of scholarship opportunities.Go through the lists to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them.

A.While you're searching,consider what makes you special as a student.
B.Typically,scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring for the next school year's awards,but that also varies depending on the donors.
C.There is no doubt that college education is a necessary step to get yourselves prepared for the future.
D.Local awards can often be easier to get as the application pools are smaller and less
competitive.
E.Begin in your own backyard.
F.It's no secret that college is one of the biggest investments.
G.Believe in yourselves.
