Many of London's top attractions are free, making them affordable places to learn about some culture.

Some exhibitions require tickets.‎ Tate Modern Sitting on the banks of the Thames is the Tate Modern, Britain's national museum of modern and contemporary (当代的) art.

The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.‎ That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage (车库) and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, ‎ Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.‎ Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny’s hunch (直觉). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.‎ Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance（救护车）to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny, for following up on his hunch!‎ ‎24.

What could be the best title for the text?‎ A. Always follow your hunch B. Be ready to help save the elderly C. Unknown hero brings love and hope D. 10-year-old saves elderly neighbor’s life C Swimming along a river in western Florida, a newborn manatee (海牛) calls out for her mother. But the baby hears no answer. The mother has disappeared, possibly frightened away by a passing motorboat. Longing for her mom's gentle touch, the confused manatee begins rubbing against the closest big thing she can find — a boat.‎ From his home beside the river, Richard Dash sees the manatee rubbing against the boat. He keeps watch on the animal, hoping the mother will appear. But after two hours, she's still alone. Dash calls the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for help. “A baby manatee needs its mother to show it where to find food,” says Andrew Garrett, a rescue coordinator (协调员) at the organization. “Without a mother's guidance, chances of survival are pretty much zero.”‎ A rescue team rushes to the scene to catch the newborn, and then takes off for the rehabilitation (康复) center at Lowry Park Zoo. After arriving at the center, the manatee is given a checkup by the workers. The doctor's exam shows that the manatee, now named Kee, is dangerously underweight. At less than 50 pounds, she's one of the smallest orphans ever treated at the zoo. The baby is placed in a pool where the workers give her 24-hour care. Gradually Kee puts on pounds and gains strength.‎ A few weeks later, an adult manatee recovering at the center from an accident has a baby. This gives animal care manager Virginia Edmonds an idea. She decides to introduce Kee to the new mom, named Della. Edmonds hopes that Della will raise Kee alongside her own baby, Pal. So the workers place the three manatees in the same pool. Within hours Della is nursing Kee with her milk. Soon Kee is getting all of her food from Della.‎ ‎28. The manatee described in Paragraph 1 is in a state of _____.‎ A. anger                         B. puzzlement                     ‎ C. surprise                     D. disappointment   ‎ ‎29. What do we know about Richard Dash?‎ A. He's the owner of the boat. B. He's not familiar with the river.‎ C. He's sure the mother won't return. D. He's quite worried about the manatee.‎ ‎30.

What's the main idea of the text?‎ A. Animals are in need of help. B. A newborn manatee is in danger.‎ C. The rehabilitation is playing a role. D. An orphaned manatee finds a new mom. ‎ ‎ ‎ D From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.‎ ‎“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.‎ A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. ‎ The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.‎ But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. ‎ ‎“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.‎ A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.‎ ‎“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.‎ ‎32. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.‎ A. people will face many difficulties B. people will take up more creative jobs C. artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives D. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces ‎33. According to the report, _____.‎ A. people won't necessarily lose jobs B. big companies will face fewer challenges C. small companies will win against big companies D. most people will become interested in technology ‎34. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?‎ A. Mixed.                     B. Worried. C. Hopeful.                  D. Doubtful.‎ ‎35. Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.‎ A. there will be enough jobs for people B. things will change a lot in a few years C. many people will become unemployed D. technology will totally change future jobs 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ You are going places It was another boring and sad day. I had come home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work. I work at a local restaurant as a busser (餐厅侍者助手). ‎ ‎ 36  And to make matters worse I was busing that evening.

They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, and what grade I was in.  39     ‎ As they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a confident and gentle voice, “You are going places.” And that was it.
