The best place to start is at the world-famous London Bridge crossing over the river and you can walk all the way to Westminster Bridge a short distance away. Travelers doing this will find themselves passing by a great many historic buildings.‎ ‎ Explore the Local Markets ‎ While purchasing items at any of the open markets in London is not necessarily free, walking through them to view the merchants, their products and the other shoppers is of great fun. Some of the popular open markets in London worth visiting include Spitafields Market, Portobello Road Market and Leadenhall Market.‎ ‎ Visit the British Museum ‎ One of the top museums in the entire United Kingdom can be found in London, and it charges no admission for entry.

Having him for two years during high school, for both history and study hall, he taught me more than any other teacher has been able to．‎ ‎ His unusual attitude reflects his methods of teaching. He was constantly trying to push us out of our comfort zones with video projects we did about once a month. He wanted us to face and accept how other people saw us to prepare us for the real world．He was always making colorful Power Points to teach us the latest topic instead of standing in front of us lecturing for a period, putting us to sleep like many teachers do. He did not give us homework one day and have it due the next, but instead gave us a schedule of the homework for the section and left the responsibility up to us to remember to do it, making us ready for life after high school. Then we know the responsibility is all on us．‎ ‎ Mr. Sand is a responsible family man. He took whatever time we had left in class to show us his newest vacation videos or his children’s sports videos. He balances ‎ his family and his career so nicely．‎ ‎ Mr. Sand always encouraged us to explore the cultures of the world. He would tell us stories of his travels across Europe and his adventures around the US, while many teachers just force the idea of college．‎ Many people may not ever get to have the experience of having Mr. Sand as a teacher or ever be affected by him like I was. I feel sorry for them. Putting aside that he was my teacher, he was also the person who influenced me greatly and taught me things that went beyond the school courses．‎ ‎34. According to the writer, why was John Sand different from other teachers?‎ ‎ A．He never gave homework to his students．‎ ‎ B．He clearly knew what his students would do in the future．‎ ‎ C．He always made his classes lively and interesting with colorful Power Points．‎ ‎ D．He often encouraged his students to face the real world bravely．‎ ‎35.

What would be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A．An outstanding teacher． ‎ ‎ B．A valuable experience of schooling．‎ ‎ C．A kind family man and a father． ‎ ‎ D．An unusual method of teaching．‎ C ‎ Scientists have proved that sleeping and learning go hand in hand. Even a short nap (小睡) can improve our memory and sharpen our thinking. But the relationship goes deeper than that.‎ ‎ “The brain is not passive while you sleep,” scientist Anat Arzi said. “It’s quite active. You can do many things while you are asleep.”‎ ‎ Arzi and her co-workers didn’t try to teach the sleeping volunteers any complex information, like new words or facts. Instead, the scientists taught volunteers to make new connections between smells and sounds.‎ ‎ When we smell something good, like a flower, we take deep breaths. When we smell something bad, we take short breaths. Arzi and her co-workers based their experiment on these reactions.‎ ‎ Once the volunteers fell asleep in the lab, the scientists went to work. They gave them a whiff of something pleasant and meanwhile played a particular musical note. They didn’t wake up, but they heard — and sniffed (吸气) deeply. Then the scientists gave the volunteers a whiff of something terrible and played a different musical note. Again, the volunteers heard and smelled — a short snort (鼻息声) this time — but didn’t wake up. The researchers repeated the experiment.‎ ‎ After just four repetitions, volunteers made a connection between the musical notes and their paired smells. When the scientists played the musical tone that went with good smells, the sleepers breathed deeply. And when the scientists played the musical tone that went with bad smells, the sleepers breathed briefly — despite there being no bad smell.‎ ‎ The next day, the volunteers woke up with the sound-smell connection. They breathed deeply when hearing one tone and cut their breaths short when hearing the other, which must have been unusual for them. Imagine walking down the street and taking a deep breath upon hearing a particular sound!‎ ‎37. In the study, the volunteers were taught _____________.‎ ‎ A. to become active during sleep ‎ B. to tell the difference between smell ‎ C. to learn new words and scientific facts ‎ D. to make sound-smell connections ‎38. How did the volunteers react when smelling something nice and hearing musical notes?‎ ‎ A. They took a deep breath.‎ ‎ B. They had a wonderful dream.‎ ‎ C. They woke up at once.‎ ‎ D. They took a short breath.‎ ‎39. When the volunteers woke up the next day, they _____________.‎ ‎ A. learned how to play to musical tones ‎ B. forgot what happened during their sleep ‎ C. continued with the sound-smell connection ‎ D. changed their reaction when hearing ‎40. The passage mainly tells us _____________.‎ ‎ A. special smells and sounds can improve our memory ‎ B. our brain can actually learn something new during the sleep ‎ C. the volunteers will always hear similar sounds in the street ‎ D. our brain can tell the difference between smells during the sleep 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Renting a garage with others? 41 Many people are benefiting from this new business of renting.‎ ‎ Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb — an American Web which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34, 000 cities and it has 800, 000 listings of rooms and apartments. 42 ‎ ‎ There is also a British company doing something with parking spaces. Just Park’s founder, Anthony Eskenazi says, ＂When I had the original idea, I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park.＂ 43 Around 20, 000 people have advertised their spaces on the website, and he says around half a million drivers use them.‎ ‎ 44 They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks. They are afraid of ending up losing money.‎ ‎ 45 Regulations for these new businesses are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor? Because this is a new business world, those rules aren’t there yet.‎ A. And there is another problem.‎ B. There are many ways to earn money.‎ C. A commercial car park is inconvenient.‎ ‎ D. And his great idea has proved a success.‎ E. Both of them can help you make money easily.‎ F. But the new business of renting has its competitors.‎ G.
