When Shakespeare was twenty-one, he went to London, a very interesting place, to try his fortune.
There was the famous London Bridge and St. Paul’s Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.
Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and the highwayman (拦路强盗)or thieves, who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.
Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.
Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town’s residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men’s interests that make up the great world.
And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.
24. What was London like in Shakespeare’s eyes when he first went there?
A. Dirty and small. B. Strange and interesting.
C. Infamous and terrible. D. Familiar and modern.
25. Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?
A. Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.
B. Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.
C. Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.
D. Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.
26. What does the word “one” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Crowd. B. Resident. C. Face. D. Sight.
27. The passage probably comes from______.
A. a poster B. a textbook
C. an advertisement D. an announcement
C
Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible(可变换的) standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.
Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机) and bicycle desks.
The desk is not the first “convertible” on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user’s preferences over time and suggest the best seating position.
The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has
a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden.
“ Ikea’s height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, ’’ said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.
28. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.
B. Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.
C. Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.
D. The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market.
29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.
B. The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.
C. Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.
D. The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.
30. The Stir Kinect desk______.
A. can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button once
B. can charge phones by using a device containing power point
C. can tell you how many calories you need for a walk
D. can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time
31. What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse?
A. Ikea’s adjustable desk will be popular with average people.
B. Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.
C. This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.
D. It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.
D
Airbags, now found in almost every vehicle, have saved countless lives and largely reduced the severity of injuries in crashes. Similar technology could greatly reduce broken hips (髋部) resulting from a fall, something most seniors fear.
Dr. Robert Buckman and his start-up company, Active Protective in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has developed a promising solution, a wearable airbag that can protect hip bones in the event of a fall. The idea was the result of Dr. Buckman’s years as a doctor at Temple University. He noticed how many elderly people were being brought into hospitals with broken hip due to falls, and how they often never completely recovered from the injuries. He started to ask what he could do for these people, and that was when he started trying to figure out whether there was a way of helping people who were at the highest risk of falling and suffering these kinds of injuries.
The device is worn much like a regular belt, but on the outside of the clothing, and it includes sensors that monitor the movement of hips. If the device detects that the person, is falling, an airbag opens before the person hits the ground, cushioning the fall. When the wearer hits the ground, the bag reduces the force to the hip bones by 90 percent, enough to avoid the majority of hip injuries.
With one out of every three people aged 65 and older suffering serious falls each year, Active Protective has a big market for its wearable device. It also has the potential to sizably reduce hip - related health care expenses: Hip injuries among the elderly cost the US health care system in 2012 $30 billion, which doesn’t include the long-term care expenses associated with the high percentage of patients that can no longer live independently.
32. What is the purpose of the Active Protective’s airbag?
A. To avoid hip injuries among seniors.
B. To protect seniors from car accidents.
C. To help seniors with their daily nursing.
D. To help doctors deal with serious injuries.
33. What inspired Dr. Robert Buckman to make the device?
A. A report on seniors’ health.
B. A serious fall he experienced.
C. His work experiences as a doctor.
D. Suggestions of seniors at Temple University.
34. How does the device mainly work?
A. By predicting road conditions. B. By speeding up bone recovery.
C. By reducing the effects of falling. D. By preventing people from failing.
35. What does the author think of the Active Protective’s airbag?
A. It still needs improving.
B. It has a promising future.
C. It may encourage seniors to do exercise.
D. It may increase America’s spend on seniors.

Dear editor,
I am writing to tell you about what I saw while traveling during this winter vacation. I was surprised to see so many immoral behaviors in public places. Some people spit at wherever they went; some scratched their names on the street walls or other scenic spots, which did great damage to them.
In my opinion, it’s high time we should take action to help improve the situation. First, certain laws should be passed to ensure people won’t damage the environment. Second, our media should also take responsibility to guide people to protect the environment. Last but not least, we travelers should learn to be more responsible for what we did.
Only by working together can we make our country become more and more beautiful!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
