There are thirty-four bridges on the Thames River in London, the following are among the most famous ones.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest, most recognizable bridges in the World. It is the bridge in London you may see in movies and on advertising writing for London. Tower Bridge is the only Thames Bridge that can be raised. It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but nowadays it is only raised 4 to 5 times a week.
London Bridge
The construction of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176 and finished years later. Houses and shops were once built on the bridge, which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people, horses and carts. A ‘keep left’ rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving. This became the rule of the road in Britain. In 1757 the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in 1831. Interestingly, that one was pulled down again in 1967 but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City, USA, as a tourist attraction. The present London Bridge was opened in 1973.
Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers. It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the City and St Paul’s Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂) in 2000. Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge. Almost immediately after opening, the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors. It has now been reopened. The bridge is about 320 meters, costs 16 million pounds to build and only takes walkers.
Westminster Bridge
Westminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames between Westminster and Lambeth. The present bridge, opened in 1862, is the second on the site and took
the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750. The British romantic poet, William Wordsworth, wrote a famous poem “Composed Upon Westminster Bridge” in the autumn of 1802.

When David Carter started to study art at The University of Texas (UT)at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.
Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.
“I interviewed him on Austin’s homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him,” said Chandler. “He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”
With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT’s College of Fine Arts. “It' s the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Carter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him”
After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees (学费)without telling Chandler his name.
Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose
education could not be completed easily. We’ re going to help him through his remaining course work.”
4. Why did Carter stop studying in the university?
A. He hurt an artist. B. He couldn’t afford his study.
C. He got a strange disease. D. He had a hand injury.
5. What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?
A. To do a project on homelessness.
B. To know why he hung around UT.
C. To make friends with a homeless person.
D. To finish his homework on helping others.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?
A. Brave. B. Honest.
C. Warm-hearted. D. Strong-minded.
7. What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?
A. He encourages Carter to study hard.
B. He supports students who never give up.
C. He calls on other students to help Carter.
D. He suggests other students learn from Carter.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B

Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.
“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.
Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.
Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster
and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.
But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.
8. What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?
A. The lighting-fast speed of 5G.
B. The expectation of 5G world.
C. The difference between 4G and 5G.
D. The internet-connected devices in our life.
9. What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Exhibition. B. Success.
C. Symbol. D. Explanation.
10. We can infer from the text that ________.
A. 5G world won’t come without AR glasses
B. 5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicle
C. Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwide
D. Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced
11. What will the author probably tell us next?
A. How to fully expand 5G coverage.
B. Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.
C. Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.
D. The importance of infrastructure construction.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是随着科技的不断发展,5G时代即将来临。它最大的优势就是上网速度大大加快。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。首段先提出5G时代即将来临,接下来介绍5G上网下载的高速度,相比于目前的4G,5G有望达到千兆的上网速度。作者在第一段想强调5G的超级速度。故选
A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。划线词后的and that is to say, it is a sign of time(也就是说,这是时间的标志)是对前面的补充说明。由此推知,划线词的意思是“标志,象征”。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.(这一点值得注意,因为据报道,苹果(Apple)等公司正在开发增强现实眼镜,以帮助——甚至取代——智能手机)可知,我们可以从文中推断,科技公司将面临智能手机可能被取代的事实。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.(但是不要太激动。与此同时,仍有很多工作要做,包括各种试验,以确保收音机能很好地配合硬件和基础设施建设,这样5G就不会只集中在大城市)可知,作者接下来可能会告诉我们“如何全面扩大5G覆盖。”故选A。
D
Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation or example. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn’t mean my husband and my son couldn’t stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged - okay, ordered them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people may think I’m a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I’ve made a living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks. I have been the
consumer reporter of NBC’s Today Show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn’t hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps longer, and it’s the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
12. Why did Delta give the author’s family credits?
A. They had early bookings. B. They took a later flight.
C. Their flight had been delayed. D. Their flight had been cancelled.
13. What can we learn about the author?
A. She rarely misses a good deal. B. She seldom makes a compromise.
C. She is very strict with her children. D. She is interested in cheap products.
14. What does the author do?
A. She’s a housewife. B. She’s a writer.
C. She’s a media person. D. She’s a business woman.
15. What does the author want to tell us?
A. How to expose bad tricks. B. How to reserve airline seats.
C. How to make a business deal. D. How to spend money wisely.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过一家人乘飞机返家过程中,由于机票超额预定,从而可以推迟回家,而得到航空公司的赔偿一事,引出在日常生活中,如何利用一些机会,合理地省钱花钱,体现了一个女人在持家方面的睿智。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.”可知作者之前预订的航班被超额预定,所以达美航空公司给他们家提供每人400美元的积分,让他们放弃座位,第二天离开。也就是说作者一家乘坐了更晚的航班,得到了积分补偿。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But as a bigtime bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.”可知作者自称是一个一流的杀价者,并且说一笔好的交易是很少有人能够拒绝的,因此作者不会错过一笔好买卖的。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I have been the consumer reporter of NBC’s Today Show for over a decade.”可知作者做了十多年NBC“今日秀”的消费者记者,也就是作者是一个媒体从业者,故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。第一段段首句表明作者是省钱一族,并在后面几段举了一个例子。最后一段作者提出让你的钱物有所值并不可耻,并说明了其对不同的产品的不同决策,指出她对于质量高的产品也会毫不犹豫买,说明了作者花钱的明智。由此推断作者想告诉读者如何明智地花钱。故选D项。
