Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.‎ There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades(阴影) of green. Sometimes a person can’t tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man sees everything in shades of green--a strange world indeed.‎ Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones(圆锥细胞)”. These help us see in a bright day and tell the differences between colors. There are also millions of “rods(棒条体)”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape, but not color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.‎ ‎ In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible(看不见的) colors around us.‎ ‎21.The passage is mainly about .‎ A. color and its surprising effects on drivers B. women being luckier than man because fewer of them are color blind C. color blindness and how our eyes tell different colors and shapes D. danger caused by color blindness ‎22.According to the passage, with the help of “cones”, we can .‎ A. see in a weak light B. tell different colors C. tell different shapes D. tell orange from yellow ‎23.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?‎ A. There are fewer color blind women B. Women are more careful C. Women are fonder of driving than men D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking ‎24.Which of the following statements about color blind people is true?‎ A. None of them can see deep red but all can tell blue from green B. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color C. None of them can tell blue from green but all can see deep red D. All of them are lucky enough to see everything in shades of green B London‎’s transport services offer you a special experience of the city. Here’s a round up of the transport choices available to you.‎ ‎♦ London Underground There are 11 colour-coded Underground lines. Services run regularly from around 05:00 to 00:30 (Sunday 07: 30 to 23:30) on most-routes.‎ Visit tfl. gov. uk/tube for more information.‎ Tip：‎ Always stand on the right when using the escalators (电动扶梯) at Tube stations. It can get hot and busy on the Tube during peak (高峰) travel times, so you may prefer to travel outside these hours.‎ ‎♦ Buses A cheap and easy way to travel around London. They generally run from 05 : 00 to 00 ： 30. Night buses operate on many major routes from around midnight to 05:00, and some operate a 24-hour ‎ service.‎ It is not possible to pay for your London bus fare in cash. Instead, you can pay with a Visitor Oyster card, Oyster card, Travelcard or UK-issued contactless payment card. A single bus journey is £l. 50 with an Oyster card or UK-issued contactless payment card.‎ To help you get home, if you don’t have enough credit on your Oyster card, you will be able to make one more bus journey.‎ After this you will need to top up the credit on your card before you use it again. If you’re your contactless payment card has been issued outside the UK, please check tfL gov. uk/contactless before you use your card to travel on our bus services. For any international transaction fees (手续费) that may apply, please check with your card issuer.‎ For more information visit tfl. gov. uklbuses.‎ Tip:‎ Some bus routes are especially good for sightseeing—try routes 9, 14, 15 and 22. The New Routemaster bus featured in the James Bond film Skyfall and runs on routes 9, 11, 24, 38 and 390. If you run out of credit on your Visitor Oyster card, it’s easy to add more at:‎ ‎● Touchscreen ticket machines in Tube, DLR, London Overground and some National Rail stations.‎ ‎● Around 4, 000 Oyster Ticket Stops cross London (Find your nearest one at ticketstoplocator. tfl. gov. uk).‎ ‎● Travel & Visitor Information Centres.‎ ‎● London Overground station ticket offices.‎ ‎25.During the rush hour, visitors at Tube stations are advised to ________.‎ A. stand side by side B. avoid using the escalators C. take the tube at fixed times D. take advantage of off-peak hours ‎26.The underlined part “top up” can best be replaced by ________.‎ A. use up B. add C. think about D. balance ‎27.If a visitor wants to find the nearest Oyster Ticket Stop, he should visit ________.‎ A. tfl. gov. uk/tube B. tfl. gov. uk/buses C. tfl. gov. uk/contactless D. ticketstoplocator. tfl. gov. uk C Many cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics. Now some state and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste as well. California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes. The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called ‎ composting(堆制肥料).‎ Food waste that can be composted includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be composted. Meat, fish, and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.‎ According to environmental groups, composting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills(垃圾填埋池), and composted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When compost is added to the soil in gardens and fields, it helps crops grow.‎ Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food-waste recycling laws. “Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones is shrinking.” Renee Crowley, a project manager said.‎ Officials in Seattle‎, ‎Washington, say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going into landfills, and they are looking to reduce that percentage. That city has a law requiring people to recycle food waste. It is banned from all garbage. There is a fine for people who put it into regular garbage.‎ Crowley‎ points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law, there are often places where citizens can drop off their food waste for composting. Many schools and colleges have also started composting programs.‎ Those who are against food-recycling laws say that the composting process is costly. In addition, it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they don’t have access to outside storage bins. Patti Ferguson from Orange County‎, ‎California, told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.‎ ‎28.What do we know about composting from the text?‎ A. It is cheap to compost food waste B. Not all food waste can be reused C. Not all soil can be composted D. It is usually processed in empty landfills ‎29.What is the third paragraph mainly about?‎ A. Ways‎ of keeping nutrients in the soil B. Ways‎ of reducing the amount of trash C. Benefits of recycling food waste D. Examples of different useful nutrients ‎30.In Seattle, throwing food waste into garbage is .‎ A. illegal B. shameful C. required D. acceptable ‎31.Patti Ferguson’s attitude towards food-recycling laws is probably .‎ A. thankful B. supportive C. uncaring D. negative D It’s pretty clear that the new animated film Trolls is meant for kids , but there are a couple of PG-13 offerings this week that might be worth looking into .‎ Trolls ‎ If you’re a parent , you may find this consistent cheeriness super annoying . Kids will love it , though .
