The Lion king musical theatre tickets in London
Read our original review of The Lion King
It’s one of the most beloved Disney films of all time, and for last two decades it’s been one of the main events of London’s West End. The magical, family-friendly stage version of The Lion King has been reigning supreme at the Lyceum Theatre since 1999, and shows no signs of quietening its roar.
If you’ve not seen the classic Disney film, that’s close to sacrilege - but don’t worry, we can fill you in. a young cub called Simba tries to come to terms with the cruel death of his father Mufasa, at the same time as learning about the responsibilities of adulthood and his destiny as a king. It’s a bit like Hamlet, but with singing animals (and a happier ending).
The musical is a must-see for any Londoner, whether you call the capital home or are just here for the weekend. The stunning visuals are pretty breathtaking whatever your age, but ingenious puppetry and intricate masks recreate the animal kingdom of Africa in a spectacle that your little lion clubs will never forget.
Did you know? Julie Taymor, the shows director, created a number of puppets and masks for the show. She used many different styles, but had one rule: the performer should never be hidden by the device so the audience could see the humanity
of the characters as well as what each performer was technically capable of.
Where? Lyceum Theatre, 21 Wellington Street, WC2E 7RQ. Nearest underground stations are: Charing Cross, Covent Garden, Embankment, Leicester Square, Holborn and Temple.
Performance dates and times: The Lion King is currently booking until September 30, 2019. Performances are Tuesday-Sunday, with matinees at 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, and evening performances at 7.30 p.m. (not Sunday). The running time of the show is two and a half hours with an interval.
31. Where might this text probably come from?
A. A biography. B. A science fiction.
C. A history book. D. A magazine.
32. How does the writer try to trick the readers into buying the ticket?
A. By giving details of the review.
B. By introducing a famous director.
C. By providing many time choices.
D. By showing the convenient transportation.
【答案】31. D 32. A
【解析】

【32题详解】
推理判断题。由“Read our original review of The Lion King
”可知,作者向读者大篇幅的介绍了“狮子王”的影视评论的细节。这些细节会勾引人们“狮子王”的回忆和怀念。从而达到购票去看狮子王音乐剧。所以通过影评的内容和评论在文章中所占的比例,可以判断出,作者通过提供评论的细节来劝说读者购票。故选A项。

‘Come on slow coach! Hurry up!’ I (Emily) called excitedly. Grace walked over the cart and kneeled down beside me. ‘Are you ready?’ I asked. ‘Yes,’ said Grace.
Carefully I untied the string around the package. Then, together we pulled the sacks (麻布袋) off. There wasn’t a dead body inside There was just a roll of cloth. And we both recognized the cloth. It was from Salts Mill.
‘They’re stealing cloth from the mill,’ I said shocked.
‘We have to tell someone.’ said Grace.
‘Yes,’ I said, ‘but not yet. We’ll come back tonight. We’ll see who they meet.’
‘I don’t want to come back tonight,’ said Grace.
‘Then I’ll come by myself, I said I wasn’t afraid of the dark.
When you worked in a mill, you were afraid of the machines and you were afraid of the overlooker (监工). They were far more terrifying than the darkness. I loved the silence of night-time. And in fact, I loved the darkness because with the darkness came the end of the working day.
So that night, I walked back to the canal alone. It was a clear night and I could see the stars. I hid in some bushes near the cart, and waited. I didn’t have to wait for long. First, the man with red hair came. He stood by the old cart and coughed, a horrible chesty cough that broke the silence of the night. Then along came another man. I recognized him and my heart sank. It was Grace’s father.
‘Poor Grace,’ I thought. ‘I can’t tell anyone about this. Grace’s father will go to prison. The family will lose their house. Grace will lose her job. They’ll have no money and no home. They’ll die.’
I looked into the darkness for an answer. ‘I have to tell someone,’ I thought. And there was only one person I could tell. There was only one person I could trust. That was James, James’ father was an important overlooker. ‘The overlooker won’t believe me. But maybe he’ll believe his son James loves me. He’ll listen to me.’
33. Why didn’t Grace want to come back that night?
A. Because she was a person who was afraid of darkness.
B. Because her slowness would have an effect on Emily’s plan.
C. Because she hated Emily due to Emily laughing at her slowness.
D. Because she had known her father’s participation in stealing cloth.
34. Which was not a reason for Emily’s love of darkness?
A. She could enjoy the silence that nights brought.
B. She could prove that she was braver than Grace.
C. She could have free time to relax herself after work.
D. She could break away from the overlooker and machines.
35. All of the following statements are true except that ________.
A. the red-haired man was not in good health
B. James’ father was the only person that Emily could believe in
C. Emily felt shocked to learn that another man was Graces’ father
D. the comments of the sacks contradicted what Emily and Grace had expected
【答案】33. A 34. B 35. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了艾米丽和格蕾丝发现了一个麻袋,麻袋里装着从工厂里偷来的布匹。艾米丽和格蕾丝决定晚上一探究竟,看看是谁偷了布,但格蕾丝不敢晚上来。夜幕降临,艾米丽惊讶地发现偷布的人是格蕾丝的父亲,她决定将此事告诉自己的男朋友 詹姆斯。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由第六,七段“‘I don’t want to come back tonight,’ said Grace.‘Then I’ll come by myself, I said I wasn’t afraid of the dark.”可知,格蕾丝今晚不想回来一探究竟,艾米丽决定自己来,因为为她不害怕黑暗。所以为什么格雷斯那天晚上不想回来是因为她是个怕黑的人。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由第八段“you were afraid of the machines and you were afraid of the overlooker (监工). They were far more terrifying than the darkness. I loved the silence of night-time. And in fact, I loved the darkness because with the darkness came the end of the working day.
”可知,艾米丽和格蕾丝都是工厂的工人,白天工作时,他们害怕机器,害怕监工。他们比黑暗可怕得多。艾米丽喜欢夜晚的寂静。事实上,艾米丽喜欢黑暗,因为随着黑暗的到来,宣告这一天工作结束了,可以放松一下。所以B选项“她能证明她比格蕾丝勇敢”并不是她喜欢黑暗的原因。故选B项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。由最后段“And there was only one person I could tell. There was only one person I could trust. That was James”可知,艾米丽唯一能信任的人是 詹姆斯。所以B选项“詹姆斯的父亲是艾米莉唯一能相信的人”是错误的。故选B项。
C
There’s a lot of anxiety around how young people, particularly teenagers, use the internet but new research by Talk Talk suggests some of these fears may be emphasized too much.
In a recent study, 2,000 young people aged 13-16 year olds and the parents of the same teenagers, were interviewed about their attitudes to technology and loneliness. The teens were mainly optimistic about technology and its uses. Over half (71 percent) said that during times when they felt lonely, tech provided a solution to their loneliness such as enabling them to make new friends, receive support and advice, as well as read positive comments online.
However, social media was regarded as a cause for feeling lonely by 12 percent of teens, who said they felt lonely because they didn’t have many friends on social media.
When it comes to the parents, on the other hand, it demonstrated that there is an education gap between worrying about the internet, and knowing what to do about it.
For instance, 70 percent of parents worry bout their teens using the internet, but 65 percent said they did not limit the hours their teen spends using social media and tech, and 70 percent reported they don’t use parent protection controls and software. Around 37 percent said they feel ill-equipped or unsure about how to manage their teens online.
It seems like when it comes to teens on the internet, the main issue is with
the parents not understanding what they’re doing. Research by Oxford University academics found there was little evidence between screen time and mental health in teenagers. The study used a mixture of self-reporting techniques as well as time-use diaries.
The research reflected another study earlier this year by the same academics that found technology use explains at most 40 percent of adolescent wellbeing (幸福安乐).
We’re still learning about how things like social media impact our health and wellbeing, but at least in this instance, it demonstrates that the Generation Z’s digital understanding nature means they may have more of a hold on tech and its effects than their parents do.
If you are a parent and worrying about your child’s screentime use, security company Norton has put together a handy guide on how to manage it, such as setting limits on screen time, and talk about the risks of sharing private information on social media.
36. What does the author want to illustrate with the example in Paragraph 5?
A. Parents are concerned about their teens using the Internet.
B. Parents are irresponsible for not controlling their teens’ using the Internet.
C. Parents should have a stronger control over the management of their teens using the internet.
D. Parents lack the strategies of handling their teens using the Internet despite their deep concerns.
37. The author refers to another earlier study in order to ________.
A. show that the finding of this earlier study is contrary to that of the recent one
B. prove that at least two studies are needed before drawing a sound conclusion
C. support that technology use doesn’t have so much to do with teens’ wellbeing
D. illustrate that technology use has a significant influence on teens’ wellbeing
38. Which shares the closest meaning to the words underlined?
A. Control B. Weakness.
C. Affection. D. Addiction.
39. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Technology, a hell for teens! B. Technology, a must for teens!
C. Technology, a help to teens! D. Technology, a two-edged sword for teens!
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. A 39. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了科技的应用对青少年是有益的。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段“70 percent of parents worry about their teens using the internet.70 percent reported they don’t use parent protection controls and software. Around 37 percent said they feel ill-equipped or unsure about how to manage their teens online.可知,70%的父母担心他们的孩子使用互联网,70%的父母说他们没有使用父母保护控制和软件。大约37%的人说,他们觉得自己准备不足或不确定如何在网上管理自己的孩子。所以通过关键词“worry bout ,ill-equipped or unsure ”可以判断出,作者想用第5段中的例子说明了尽管父母非常担心,但他们缺乏处理青少年使用互联网的策略。故选D项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。由“The research reflected another study earlier this year by the same academics that found technology use explains at most 40 percent of adolescent wellbeing ”可知,这项研究反映了今年早些时候由同一个学者进行的另一项研究,该研究发现,科技的应用最多能给青少年带来40%的幸福感。所以通过“ at most 40 percent ”可以判断出,作者引用了先前的另一项研究是为了支持科技的使用与青少年的幸福快乐没有太大关系。故选C项。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。由倒数第二段“ but at least in this instance, it demonstrates that the Generation Z’s digital understanding nature means they may have more of a hold on tech and its effects than their parents do.”可知,它表明了Generation Z
对数字的理解意味着他们可能比他们的父母更能掌控科技及其影响。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出,control“控制”与划线部分的意思最接近。故选A项。
【39题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段,二段“There’s a lot of anxiety around how young people, particularly teenagers, use the internet but new research by Talk Talk suggests some of these fears may be emphasized too much. The teens were mainly optimistic about technology and its uses. Over half (71 percent) said that during times when they felt lonely, tech provided a solution to their loneliness such as enabling them to make new friends, receive support and advice, as well as read positive comments online”可知,人们对年轻人,尤其是青少年如何使用互联网有很多担忧,但Talk Talk的最新研究表明,其中一些担忧可能被过分强调了。青少年主要对科技及其应用持乐观态度。超过一半(71%)的人说,在他们感到孤独的时候,科技为他们提供了解决孤独的方法,比如让他们交新朋友,获得支持和建议,以及在网上阅读积极的评论。所以短文的最佳标题是“科技,帮助了青少年”。故选C项。
【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息,即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断,利用逆向思维或正面推理,从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。
由第五段“70 percent of parents worry about their teens using the internet.70 percent reported they don’t use parent protection controls and software. Around 37 percent said they feel ill-equipped or unsure about how to manage their teens online.可知,70%的父母担心他们的孩子使用互联网,70%的父母说他们没有使用父母保护控制和软件。大约37%的人说,他们觉得自己准备不足或不确定如何在网上管理自己的孩子。所以通过关键词“worry bout ,ill-equipped or unsure ”可以判断出,作者想用第5段中的例子说明了尽管父母非常担心,但他们缺乏处理青少年使用互联网的策略。故小题1选D项。

Newsletter Principal’s Message
Dear parents,
I write to you this week to introduce a new idea for us all to think about. ‘Oh, no!’ I hear you say, ‘She’s got another idea!’ It is true that I often suggest new ideas, especially in areas that affect your children’s future, such as the preservation of our planet. We are the only local school that has a ‘Walk or Pedal to School Day’ once a week, rather than once a month or even once a term! We have four different bins for our waste products, not just three! But I think we at Spire can do more. We are responsible for the future of our world.
I have become increasingly concerned about the amount of unnecessary packaging in our everyday lives. If we don’t do something about this now, the damage to the environment will be enormous.
Last week I walked around the grounds at recess time, talking as I often do with any student who wanted to chat - many did, I am glad to say. I kept seeing your children holding little plastic packets with a few biscuits in one side and some cheese spread in the other. When the children had eaten, the little packets became waste material! I found myself wondering why those biscuits could not have been spread with cheese at home and brought to school in a re-usable container. Other children were drinking juice from cardboard boxes. Why not a washable plastic bottle? At our canteen I saw a child buy a sushi roll and apply soy sauce from a cute little plastic fish. That fish ended up on the ground until I asked the student to put it in the bin - more rubbish! Why not use a large bottle from which the sauce could be shared? (For that matter, how awful are those little tomato sauce containers given with meat pies – very dangerous if flicked into your eye!)
I know how busy your lives are but you and I need to give children the same message about unnecessary packaging. How many nights a week do you eat takeaway? Plastic boxes of beef in black bean sauce, plastic bags of lettuce with the paper bag of spring rolls, little plastic containers of sauces. All these things increase the amount of waste. I am told you can buy carrots that are already peeled, washed and sliced - in another plastic bag - but why not prepare your own vegetables for the
lunch boxes?
I know reducing packaging will be a challenge at school and at home but it is one we must confront. I will be introducing a curriculum unit to teach about sustainability.
As usual, your comments are welcome.
Denise Walker, Principal
Comments (1)
Denise, you need to reconsider. It is a great pity if we don’t enjoy the benefits of 21st century living because of an unclear idea about what’s good for the environment.
My partner and I have always supported your green ideas about the environment. Our kids walk to school every day! They put their rubbish in the correct bins. But mornings are already chaotic in our house. How much worse would it be if we had to spread cheese on biscuits (and won’t they go soft)? You wouldn’t believe how many plastic bottles we have lost during our time at the school. And filling them - another task taking time in the morning. Both of us parents have to get to work as well.
Finally, why shouldn’t parents have the occasional night without cooking? Takeaway food is often a great help to busy people.

【分析】
这是一篇应用文。校长Denise Walker给全体家长写了一篇通讯,在通讯中校长呼吁减少孩子所吃食物中不需要的常见包装以此保护环境,并收到了家长的回复。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“Oh, no!’ I hear you say, ‘She’s got another idea!’”可知,“哦,不!“我听见你说,“她又有了一个主意!”。所以通过校长的语气和所说的内容可以判断出,划线的句子She ' s got another idea暗示了父母对校长的新建议不耐烦。故选C项。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“I kept seeing your children holding little plastic packets with a few biscuits in one side and some cheese spread in the other. When the children had eaten, the little packets became waste material. Other children were drinking juice from cardboard boxes
At our canteen I saw a child buy a sushi roll and apply soy sauce from a cute little plastic fish. That fish ended up on the ground until I asked the student to put it in the bin - more rubbish”可知,我经常看到你的孩子们拿着小塑料袋,一边放着饼干,另一边放着奶酪。当孩子们吃完后,这些小包装袋就变成了废物。其他孩子正在喝纸盒里的果汁。在我们的食堂里,我看到一个孩子买了一个寿司卷,从一条塑料小鱼身上挤出了些果酱涂在寿司上。那条鱼最后掉在了地上,直到我叫学生把它扔进垃圾桶——更多的垃圾。所以第三段中校长的信息主要基于列出学生所吃食物中不需要的常见包装。故选D项。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“I have become increasingly concerned about the amount of unnecessary packaging in our everyday lives. If we don’t do something about this now, the damage to the environment will be enormous.”可知,校长越来越担心学生日常生活中不必要的包装数量。如果现在不采取措施,对环境的破坏将是巨大的。所以 Denise Walker写这篇通讯的目的是建议减少包装以此来保护环境。故选C项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。由Comments (1)中的“ My partner and I have always supported your green ideas about the environment. Our kids walk to school every day!”可知,我们夫妻一直支持你对环境的绿色理念。我们的孩子每天步行上学。所以通过“Our kids”可判断出知, Louise可能是父亲(或母亲)。故选B项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。由Comments (1)中的“Denise, you need to reconsider. It is a great pity if we don’t enjoy the benefits of 21st century living because of an unclear idea about what’s good for the environment. why shouldn’t parents have the occasional night without cooking? Takeaway food is often a great help to busy people.”可知,你需要重新考虑一下。如果我们不享受21
世纪生活所带来的便利,那是非常遗憾的,因为我们不清楚什么对环境有好处。为什么不让父母偶尔晚上不做饭呢?外卖食品通常对忙碌的人很有帮助。所以通过Louise对Denise 回复的内容可以判断出,Louise评论的语气是批判性的。故选B项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。由Comments (1)中的“My partner and I have always supported your green ideas about the environment.”可知,Louise夫妻一直支持Denise 对环境的绿色理念。所以依Louise的观点看来,校长最新的观点对环境有好处。所以我们不能从这两篇文章中了解到的是D选项“在Louise看来,校长最新的想法对环境没有好处”。故选D项。
【点睛】根据文章中人物所说的话的内容是解决推理判断题的重要方法,因为通过所说的内容,我们可以判断出,作者所要想表达的观点是积极的还是消极的,是中立的还是支持或者否定某一方,对事情是关心的还是冷漠的。是在提出建议还是在提出具体的解决措施。
由Comments (1)中的“Denise, you need to reconsider.

【解析】
【46题详解】
考查副词。句意:春节联欢晚会每年除夕播出,向世界传播中国传统文化。分析句子可知,本空应填副词来修饰动词broadcast,由“on the eve of Chinese New Year”可知,空处填副词annually“每年一次”。故填annually。
【47题详解】
考查现在分词和动词短语。句意:2018年,中国数字经济规模达到31.3万亿元,占国内生产总值的34.8%。由“31.3 trillion yuan,34.8 percent”可知,应选择动词短语account
for“占..比例”。The scale of China’s digital economy与account for在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在时分词accounting for。故填accounting for。
【48题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:《权力的游戏》大获成功,满足了全球观众的期望。分析句子可知,great为形容词修饰名词。由“meet”可知,空处填名词expectation且为可数名词,表示观众们的期望,所以用复数expectations。故填expectations。
【49题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:针灸是一种将针插入皮肤以减轻身体疼痛以及缓解一些精神和情感状况的疗法。分析句子可知,本句为动词不定式作目的状语,针灸是一种治疗疾病的疗法,通过将针插入皮肤以减轻身体疼痛以及缓解一些精神和情感方面的状况。所以空处填relieve“减轻”。故填relieve。
【50题详解】

【53题详解】
考查动词短语和现在完成时。句意:很遗憾,这位运动员因伤退出了决赛。分析句子可知,本句为现在完成时,由“due to his injuries”可知,空处填withdrawn from“从退出”符合句意。故填withdrawn from。
【54题详解】
考查动词短语和动词不定式。句意:该公司已经为潜在的客户提供了几个示例应用程序供他们试用。分析句子可知,本句为动词不定式作目的状语。为潜在的客户提供了几个示例应用程序目的就是让他们试一试。所以填try out“尝试”。故填 try out 。
【55题详解】
考查名词。句意:北斗导航卫星系统为用户提供高精度的全球定位能力。great为形容词修饰名词,由“BeiDou Navigation (导航) Satellite System”可知,空处填accuracy“精确度”。故填accuracy。
【点睛】非谓语动词是考试考查的重点,要掌握它的用法。首先,要弄清楚填空处要填的是非谓语。其次,要知道非谓语动词的三种形式:现在分词表示主动进行、过去分词表示被动完成、动词不定式表示目的和将要。再次,要知道非谓语动作与谓语动作是同时发生还是先后发生,还是将要发生。
由“31.3 trillion yuan,34.8 percent”可知,应选择动词短语account for“占..比例”。The scale of China’s digital economy与account for在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在时分词accounting for。故小题2填accounting for。
第五部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意:每空只填1个单词。
Skyscrapers (High buildings) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall office buildings, multistory five star hotels, and apartment towers with thousands of residents. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However there are experts who think that some skyscrapers should become farms in order to meet the increasing food needs of our planet.
By 2050, some social scientists suggest, almost 80 percent of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the human population could increase to 9. 1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change by the middle of this century, one prominent expert claims, we will need an area of new land larger than Brazil to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms (垂直农场), where urban farmers could grow crops like wheat in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, environmental health experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. They believe that we can increase
food production by changing our thinking from out to up.
Supporters say that vertically grown food would be cultivated with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment. Moreover, vertical indoor farming could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather-related problems like drought or flooding. Also, the use of chemical pesticides for controlling insects would be minimal.
Critics of vertical farming point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables. For these reasons, vertical farms would need additional light sources.
Researchers have found that even in single-story greenhouses, artificial light is often needed for rear-round crops. For example, Thanet Earth is a large indoor farming complex in the United Kingdom that produces 15 percent of the British lettuce crop. During the winter, the complex uses artificial light (人造光) for 15 hours a day. Experts have concluded that generating enough solar energy to support growth requires an area about 20 times larger than the planting area. Therefore, natural light cannot be a practical solution for vertical farms.
Vertical farming is expensive, and unless people want to pay more for fresh, local food, the technique may not succeed in the marketplace. Experts agree that creative farming practices are needed to support the planet’s need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.

这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了一种新型的农业模式---垂直农业,包括它的优点和缺点以及这种农场的前景。
【56题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。由“The problem with urban food shortage will be caused by the increasing population in the city with no change of the quantity of the farming land. Skyscrapers are recommended to be used as farms to solve the problem of food shortage.”可知,城市粮食短缺问题将是由于城市人口不断增加,耕地数量没有变化而造成的。建议将摩天大楼用作农场,以解决粮食短缺问题。所以以上是对一种新型农业模式的介绍。故填Introduction。
【57题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。由第二段“ yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same”可知,可供耕种的土地数量将是相同的。所以通过“the same”判断出空处填change。故填change。
【58题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。由“The environment is influenced in a minimal way. Animals will keep their habitats without being forced out. There is no air pollution from using heavy farming equipment. Weather-related problems will not damage crops. Minimal chemical pesticides will be used to control insects and year-round crops will be produced.”可知,环境受到的影响微乎其微。动物不会被迫离开它们的栖息地。使用重型农机设备不会造成空气污染。相关天气问题不会损害农作物。将使用最低限度的化学杀虫剂来控制昆虫,并可全年生产农作物。所以以上都在说垂直农场的优势。故填Advantages/Benefits/Edges。
【59题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。由第四段“ vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land
”可知,垂直农业不会通过占用大片土地迫使动物离开栖息地。所以通过“ not force animals out of ”可以判断出,空处填“keep/hold/maintain”。故填keep/hold/maintain。
【60题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。由第四段“ nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment”可知,也不会因使用重型农机设备污染空气。所以通过“pollute”可以判断出,空处填pollution。故填pollution。
【61题详解】

【答案】According to the statistics, road accidents in China have been on the increase during the past few years due to various reasons, involving motorbikes, e-bikes as well as pedestrians.
There are many factors giving rise to the accidents. For one thing, cyclists fail to look out for traffic or they simply ride too fast to make timely adjustments. For another, their vehicles are not in good condition, contributing to the disaster of accidents. In addition, it is pedestrians that sometimes are to blame for crossing roads without observing the traffic laws.
Actually, it’s everyone’s responsibility that they should keep alert on road and avoid road accidents. Above all, the traffic laws are there to guide traffic in a reasonable way. Therefore, nobody shall ignore them. Besides, it makes sense for the government to strengthen regulations of the vehicles on road and raise public awareness of road safety. (151 words)
