Here we pick some of the best free activities.‎ Changing the Guard For a display of British ceremony, watching Changing the Guard outside Buckingham Palace where one member of Queen’s Guards exchanges duty with old guard. Both guards are dressed in traditional red uniform and bearskin hats, and the handover is accompanied by a Guards band。Guard Mounting takes place at 11 ： 30 am. It is held daily from May to July, and on alternate (间隔的) dates throughout the rest of the year.‎ Sir John Soane’s Museum Sir John Soane was an architect (建筑师). During his lifetime he collected some valuable antiquities from all four comers of the globe. They are now on display in Sir John Soane’s Museum which gives a real insight into the life of this outstanding Victorian gentleman.‎ Geffrye Museum A very unique experience, the Geffrye Museum, located in the 18th century almshouses(救济院), gives a fascinating insight into the lives of the British middle classes from the 1600s to the present day. Explore a series of room sets, complete with furnishing and textiles(纺织品) from each period.‎ Hogarth’s House Hogarth was very famous and criticized the 18th century in his engravings (雕刻), such as A Harlot’s Progress, A Rake’s Progress and Marriage - a - la - Mode. As the name suggests, Hogarth’s House is where he lived before he died in 1764, and it’s here that you’ll find the largest collection of his paintings on public display.‎ Bank of England Museum The splendid Bank of England Museum traces the history of the bank from its foundation by Royal Charter in 1694 to its role today as the country’s center bank. There are many items you have never expected to see.‎ ‎46. What is the best title for this text?‎ A. Active life in London B. Enjoy your stay in London C. Famous museum in London D.

Hogarth’s House D. Bank of England Museum B While the world we live in never stops changing, our needs for friends prove to be invariable. According to the report from Psychologist Dorothy Rowe, more than 75% of people turn to their friends, instead of their families, for advice, comfort and security. One woman called Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would rather choose the latter.‎ Since our friends mean a lot to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it’s friendship that holds people together,” says Rowe. If the couple do not make some changes, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.‎ However, is friendship equally important to women and men? According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friends. Men share time and activities like building a fence or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they are reluctant to share their feelings.‎ Although many women find their relationships with a husband or a boyfriend are not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friendship as painful as the end of a marriage.‎ Lasting friendships can provide a lot of supports, but the perfect situation is to have your family there for you as well. Friendships and family relationships can both change, but a friend will not consider you when really important decisions in the same way that a family member will.‎ ‎49. According to the Dorothy Rowe’s report, which statement is NOT true?‎ A. Friends seem to be more reliable than families.‎ B. Rebecca’s friends means more to her than her husband.‎ C. Friends are more romantic.‎ D. The happiest couples are those who have hearts that beat as one.‎ ‎50. What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendships?‎ A. Women never talk about business with friends.‎ B. Men often have private conversations with their friends C. Men are unwilling to develop friendships with their partners.‎ D. When badly - treated and upset, women prefer to share it with their friends.‎ ‎51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Women and men have different attitudes towards friendship.‎ B. Even a close friend can break up and end up as an enemy.‎ C. When very important decisions must be made, friends are more helpful.‎ D. The best way to have friend is to be committed.‎ C Before you are cows on top of tall buildings. Yes, you read that right. Farm animals are eating grass on high - rise urban farms on top of high buildings in London. Elsewhere, off the coast of mainland England, against the background of extremely beautiful White Cliffs of Dover, a wonderful pod(吊舱) structure forms part of floating city. This is how we will live 100 years from now—if a group of UK experts to be believed.‎ Temporary housing pods, underwater cities and 3D - printed houses will also help reduce the burden of overpopulation and inner city living - space shortages. Building with their own microclimates and cities built in the skies are also among the amazing achievements of future engineering predicted by experts.‎ But not only today’s architects continue to advance towards the clouds, building higher and higher, as engineering advances allow, but we9 11 also be headed deep below ground. Meanwhile, the future will feature city - spanning (跨城市) bridges. Want to travel to Mars quickly? No problem—the experts are predicting spaceports (宇航基地) will become common places, so future generations will be able to head over to their local station and hitch (搭顺风车) the next ride.‎ The predictions were heavily focused on water - based architecture and present problems such as overpopulation, global warming and rising sea levels. Using the future tech predictions, 2,000 people were then surveyed to see which of the suggestions they thought—and hoped — would become a reality by 2115. Topping the survey was super-deep basement buildings complete with hotels, restaurants, green space, swimming pools and gyms. The survey also found that one in three respondents(调查对象) considered floating sea cities—which could use solar and tidal energy ‎ —as a choice for future development.‎ ‎52.

Without doubt, it is a growing world problem which has raised concern both nationally and internationally. As a consequence, The UN and its member countries are sparing every effort to combat it.‎ The UNCCD was established in 1994. China joined the convention (公约) in 1997 and has been playing a key role in stopping the process of desertification. So far, China has taken many measures, including providing money for people in dry areas to plant trees and bushes and encouraging farmers to build fences which stop wind from blowing the dirt away. This proves one of the cheapest and most effective ways of decreasing desertification. Meanwhile, China is planting a “Green Wall” of plants and bushes in the northeast part of the country that could grow even longer than the Great Wall! China is also spending money trying to find underground water and is researching ways to get it to the surface.‎ There is also another resource in combating desertification, in the form of the CNDMC. This center was started in 1996. The center has over 300scientists and technicians working to help with ‎ anti - desertification measures and doing scientific projects to find out what the problems are and the way to solve them. The CNDMC is a key part of China’s work with the UN to stop desertification.‎ However, scientific research is not the only way to help. There are many things that everyone can do to help. These include better management of areas that are likely to turn into desert and training people in responsible water usage.‎ There are also things that can be done at a national or international level, such as sharing information and solutions between countries and using satellites to pick out areas likely to be affected by desertification.‎ Desertification—a Growing Problem Paragraph outline Supporting details General introduction ‎● Desertification is a world problem which has been _71_ great importance to both in China and abroad.‎ China, s actions to stop the _72_ of desertification under UNCCD ‎● The government encourages farmers to build fences _73_ wind from blowing the dirt away.‎ ‎● Money _74_ for people in dry areas has been used to plant more trees and bushes.‎ ‎● A “Great Wall” of plants and bushes is being _75_ in the northeast part of China.‎ ‎● China is also investing money in finding underground water and is _76_ ways to get it to the surface.‎ CNDMC is another resource in the fight against desertification ‎● _77_ up in 1996, this center has over 300 scientists and technicians who are devoted to anti - desertification measures and doing scientific projects to find out the _78_ to the serious problems.‎ ‎● The CNDMC works with the UN to stop desertification.‎ What we can do to help at a _79_ level ‎● Manage areas that are likely to turn into desert. ‎ ‎● Train people in responsible water usage.‎ What can also be done at a national or international level ‎● Sharing information with other countries all over the world.‎ ‎● Using satellites to pick out _80_ desertification will have effects on.‎ 第七部分：选句填空 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项组中选出能填在空白处的最佳选项（每小题2分，满分10分)，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ 注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。‎ The recent years have seen a wide use of genetically modified (GM) food. However, scientists have pointed out that people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. _81_.‎ The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. _82_ So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.‎ Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. _83_ However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.‎ Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. _84_ We eat six times more salt, sugar and fat than our ancestors without using our bodies more.‎ ‎_85_ But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.‎ A.

Opinions are divided.‎ ‎ Those who think it a blessing point out advanced technology is the best way to develop some renewable energy, such as solar energy、nuclear power and so on. These pollution-free energy can ‎ definitely better our environment. In addition, technology makes it possible to turn the waste into something beneficial to our environment. It’s a win-win situation.‎ ‎ Not all students think it a blessing though. Other students argue that it’s the misuse of the technology that is to blame for the destroyed ecology, which turns out to be a curse for our environment. It even spells disasters for human life. GM food is one such example. When widely used, technology is likely to cause some incurable diseases, which will put human life to an end.‎ ‎ As it is, it’s not technology itself but the way to use it that determines the answer. Technology is a double-edged sword. We shouldn’t blame it for our misuse. Instead, we should make the most of it in a wise way to better our environment.‎ ‎ ‎
