This means ‎ you will be trained to a standard consistent across the whole country.‎ There are 3 levels of skills to progress through. Children would start with levels 1 & 2, progressing from the playground or park to cycle on less busy local roads. Teenager and adult beginners can also learn levels 1 & 2 in an off-road and quiet environment.‎ Confident teenagers and adults can broaden their skills by learning level 3, using multi-lane roads and larger roundabouts (环岛). We provide either a complete package of lessons for the beginner or individual lessons tailored to the client. It may be that you can ride a bike but don’t feel confident about right turns on multi-lane roads.

Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved even though he is unable to see anything. He would move to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years old has recently passed away, making the move necessary.‎ After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he moved his walking stick skillfully to the elevator, the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room. "I love it,” he stated with enthusiasm." Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room," said the nurse.‎ ‎"That doesn't have anything to do with it," he replied." Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged…it's how I arrange my mind. I have already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice：I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do."‎ Each day is a gift, and as long as we are alive.

American researchers have watched ants build life-saving rafts(救生筏) to keep afloat during floods. They also have documented how ant colonies choose their next queen—the female whose job is to produce eggs rather than seek food for others.‎ New technology is helping to improve researchers’ understanding of the insects. But there is still a lot to be learned.‎ Fire ants living in Brazilian forests are perfectly at home in an environment where flooding is common. To save themselves, the insects connect their legs together and create floating rafts. Some ant rafts can be up to 20 centimeters wide.‎ David Hu who is a mechanical engineer with the Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, says, “If you have 100 ants, which means 600 legs, 99 percent of those legs will be connected to a neighbor. So they’re very, very good at maintaining this network.”‎ David Hu and other Georgia Tech researchers want to study ants and the secret of their engineering. They froze ant rafts and then looked at them with the help of computed technology, or CT images. The pictures showed that larger ants serve in central positions to which smaller ants hold. The larger ants form pockets of air that keep the insects afloat.‎ Scientists say small robots or materials that can change shape could be programmed in a similar way, working towards a shared goal.‎ Researchers at North Carolina State University are also studying ants. They examined how Indian jumping ants choose the leader of the colony when they lose their top female or queen.‎ ‎28.The author takes fire ants as an example to tell us .‎ A.how ants survive B.how ants communicate C.how ants live together D.how ants seek food ‎29.What can we know from what David Hu said?‎ A.Ants know the way to keep a good figure.‎ B.Ants know the way to join together tightly.‎ C.Ants know the way to keep healthy.‎ D.Ants know the way to choose a new queen.‎ ‎30.Why did the larger ants serve in central positions in their ant rafts?‎ A.To stress their importance. B.To protect the smaller ants.‎ C.To attract their enemies. D.To make their raft reliable..‎ ‎31.What inspiration do the ants give us according to the passage?‎ A.We can use similar-shaped machines in the flood-stricken areas.‎ B.We can use new materials to make small robots.‎ C.Small and shape-changeable objects might be join together if necessary. ‎ D.Small robots or materials in the shape of ants can be made. ‎ D If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?‎ One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions (任务), and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.‎ Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides. The artificial(人造的) heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation(隔热板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.‎ There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as those ‎ technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.‎ ‎32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?‎ A. By offering analyses. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By giving some examples. D. By presenting research findings.‎ ‎33.The function of Jaws of Life is to _____.‎ A. save people from traffic accidents B. do experiments on the space shuttle C. keep houses warm and energy efficient D. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets ‎34.In the author’s opinion, space exploration _____.‎ A. has changed our life completely B. costs too much of our time C. benefits us in many ways D. has nothing to do with us ‎35.What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Benefits of space exploration B. Is space exploration worth the cost?‎ C. How to make space exploration affordable D. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Birth order plays a vital role in deciding the personality characteristics of a child. And when it comes to the middle school child, it definitely plays a huge one. The middle children go through some things only they can understand. 36 ‎ Mostly , middle children have to share a room. 37 They need to share a room with an elder one because they are too young to sleep alone. And just when they think they’ll finally have a room of their own, a voice is heard saying, “Dear, please share the room with younger one, as he is too small to sleep alone.”‎ Middle children tend to share clothes with their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Their wardrobes(衣橱) are full of hand-me-down from their older sibling, and they need to wear his clothes. 38 ‎ They can always show off their elder sibling’s clothes and things at school. Also, they get to pass their own clothes to their younger sibling. ‎ ‎ 39 They are liked by both, because they can relate well to both generations. On one hand they can reminisce(回忆) about how much fun it was watching Garfield and Friends, and on the other hand they can talk about the latest video game launched in the market.‎ Sibling talking is one interesting thing about a middle child. They are not as boring as they appear. 40 Also, all thanks to the divided attention at home, middle children are independent and need not rely on anyone to care about them.‎ A. Instead, they are very artistic and creative.‎ B. But then again, this comes with its own advantage.‎ C. They rarely enjoy the experience of having their own room.‎ D. And the dream of having your own room is coming true.‎ E. The following are some things a middle child can relate to.‎ F. They are the trouble-makers between their younger and the older siblings.‎ G.
