According to an official UK government survey in 2017, about 570,000 bike journeys are made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London‎ ‎Bridge each day are bikes.‎ London‎ introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city,” Johnson told The Guardian in 2015.‎ In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city, taking a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.‎ And it’s not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government’s Cycle to Work scheme(骑行倡议) allows employees to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax(税). This means that it’s common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some employers even provide workplace showers and lockers(储物柜) for their workers. More importantly, a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you rode a bike to work.‎ Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine, “Bike riding can improve people’s happiness.”‎ ‎24. How does the author show the popularity of cycling in London?‎ A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.‎ C. By using numbers. D. By using famous sayings.‎ ‎25. What’s Johnson’s attitude toward the bike-sharing system in London?‎ A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Uninterested.‎ ‎26. What can employees get from the government under the “Cycle to Work” scheme?‎ A. Free bike-sharing services. B. A tax-free bike.‎ C. Shorter working hours. D. Workplace showers and lockers.‎ ‎27. What’s the article mainly about?‎ A. Cycling as a healthy way of life. ‎ B. London’s public bike-sharing system.‎ C. Why Londoners are encouraged to ride bikes. ‎ D. How cycling has become popular in London.‎ C The Nobel Prize in Literature, which has been awarded annually almost every year since 1901, netted（净赚）the winning author 747,000 pounds ($915,000), a medal and certificate, and the legal duty to deliver a lecture in Sweden at some future date. The winner was selected, as usual, by the Swedish Academy, which also picked a second laureate（获奖者）this year to make up for the fact that no prize was presented in 2018 because of a scandal（丑闻）. ‎ The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018 was awarded to the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk “for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic（百科全书式的）passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life”. She won last year’s Man Booker International Prize for her novel ‎ Flights. Her representative works include Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Primeval and Other Times.‎ The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2019 was awarded to the Austrian author Peter Handke “for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity（语言的独创性） has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience”. His representative works include Sorrow Beyond Dreams, Slow Homecoming and The Great Fall.‎ Before the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature winners, there are also two nominees（被提名者）who have attracted much attention. Chinese people are keeping their eyes on nominee Can Xue. Can Xue, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in Central China’s Hunan‎ ‎Province in 1953. She had a tough childhood working as a worker in a street factory for eight years. Her life experience has formed her own unique literary path. Can’s books have been translated and published outside China. Frontier, published in the US in 2017, won attention and applause from the West. ‎ The other hot guess is Japanese writer Haruki Murakami whose books and stories have been bestsellers in Japan as well as internationally, with his work being translated into 50 languages and selling millions of copies outside his native country. His work has received numerous awards. Internet users keep eyes on him in the Nobel Prize in Literature because he has become hot guess for years. His representative works include Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore and 1Q84.‎ 28. Why are two writers awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature this year?‎ To fill the prize gap of 2018. ‎ B. To attract more people’s attention. ‎ C. To inspire more outstanding writers. ‎ D. To satisfy the development of literature.‎ ‎29. What made Olga Tokarczuk win the Nobel Prize in Literature?‎ A. Her high popularity. B. Her language skills. ‎ C. Her numerous works. D. Her writing style. ‎ ‎30. Which book can you choose if you are interested in Peter’s style?‎ A. Flights. B. The Great Fall. C. Frontier. D. Kafka on the Shore.‎ ‎31. Why do the Internet users pay close attention to Haruki Murakami?‎ A. He has created hundreds of great novels. ‎ B. He has received lots of awards all the time. ‎ C. He has been supposed to win the prize for years. ‎ D. He has been recognized as the most popular writer. ‎ D ‎ Close to the North Pole, remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard seems an unlikely（不可能的）spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment, no grains, no gardens, no trees can grow. But at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection------ more than a half-billion seeds. ‎ A quiet rescue mission（任务）is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity（多样性）of crops around the world, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation（保存） of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits（特点）found within the seeds: the genes that give one variety resistance（抵抗力）to a particular pest and another variety tolerance（忍耐力）for hot, dry weather.‎ ‎ Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed（密封的）boxes, behind many locked doors, monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below-zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress（设防的地方）. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of keeping their ability to grow for thousands of years. ‎ ‎ Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved（批准通过）and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was first proposed, it was viewed as a crazy, impractical, and expensive idea. ‎ ‎ We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee（保证）. But we were tired, fed up, and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. ‎ ‎ The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment（承诺）—about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant, long-lasting, and worthy of who we are and wish to be. ‎ 32. According to the passage, what’s the Seed Vault ?‎ A. It’s a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed.‎ B. It’s a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops.‎ C. It’s a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture. ‎ D. It’s a lab where researchers study how to keep the diversity of crops.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?‎ A. rare B. clean C. alive D. valuable ‎34. What is the third paragraph mainly about ?‎ A. How the seeds are preserved. ‎ B. Where people keep the seeds.‎ C. Why the seeds are protected. ‎ D. What people do to study the seeds.‎ ‎35. We can know from the passage that ____________.‎ A. the Seed Vault offers a solution（解决办法）to climate change B. most countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties C. the Seed Vault is sure to prevent the loss of crop diversity D. many people considered building the Seed Vault unwise and crazy at first.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 36 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.
