Buckingham Palace
It is the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II in London. The architectural
core of Buckingham Palace is the former Buckingham House，built in 1703. You can

Westminster Palace is one of the largest parliaments in the world. It was built
between 1840 and 1880.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London is a historical monument in Central London on the north bank
of the river Thames. It was founded by William the Conqueror. It was a palace and
a prison(for Queen Elizabeth I for example).There you can see strange guards called
“the Beefeaters". Since the beginning of the 14th century, the Tower of London has
been the home of the world famous British Crown Jewels-they are a must of your visit!
Trafalgar Square
It was named in 1835 to give honour to the memory of the British victory over
the French at Trafalgar in 1805. There is a huge statue of Admiral Nelson(the British
hero killed during the battle)in the middle of the square. It is a popular tourist

Some scientists believe that one of the most intelligent beings on Earth is in
fact the octopus(章鱼).
Octopuses usually live at the bottom of river mouths and seas-areas which are
not attractive to researchers. They are not social animals so it can be hard to study
their interaction with others. And the octopus' intelligence is not easy for humans
to understand. When we observe some animals such as rats or dogs, we can often
understand their behavior. Octopuses ， however can seem like aliens( 外 星
人).Scientists need to have a lot of imagination to understand what an octopus is
thinking
In the 1950s, the US Air Force sponsored scientists to study the way octopuses
use their brains. They hoped that they could use this knowledge to help them build
better computers. However, their brains were so complex that the scientists felt
it of no significance to continue with it. Octopuses have a very complex nervous
system and recent research suggests that they have some of their intelligence inside
each arm，which means that each arm can“think”for itself. It also appears that
they have a good memory, perhaps similar to a cat's.
Perhaps the most striking thing about octopuses is their ability to change their
color and body pattern. They do this to camouflage themselves to avoid their enemies
and also to communicate with others. They can completely change their appearance
in less than a second. It can change its skin to look like rocks, sand or planktron(浮游
生物).
Some scientists have even suggested that these different patterns and colors
are in fact a very hard language-and that each design is a different verb，adjective
or noun. But nobody has been able to work out what they might be saying. There's
a long way to go to get to know the octopus completely.
24. What can we infer about the octopus' intelligence from Paragraph 2?
A. It does not attract scientists. B. Little has been known about it.
C. It is equal to the cat's or dog's. D. Much has been done about it.
25. What can we say about scientists' study on the octopus in the 1950s?
A. They had to give it up eventually. B. They used computers to help.
C. They found its arms could think. D. They judged it lived like a cat.
26. What does the underlined word "camouflage" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Relax. B. Strengthen. C. Hide. D. Express.
27. What does the author think of the octopuses?
A. They are the smartest animals. B. They're easy to he seen in the sea.
C. It is useful to copy their language. D. It is difficult to understand them.
C
In the shadow of Kenya's Mount Kilimanjaro, nine Rothschild giraffes, the rarest
giraffes on the planet, are free to wander at the English-style manor(庄园). Every
day shortly before 9am, they come up to the house and stick their heads through the
windows and doors in search of morning treats. The manor's owners,'1'anya and Mikey
Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them. And now the couple are sharing
the fantastic experience with the public by opening the manor gates to guests at
the giraffe hotel, the only hotel of its kind in the world. Now, guests can feed
the giraffes at breakfast but can also get up close to them from their second-floor
bedrooms.
Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley，both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house
in Nairobi and have always been enthusiastic about the animals. Tanya said，“Mikey
and I grew up near this manor house when we were children. We are both third generation
Kenyans and have always wanted to work in conservation. Mikey's family have been
related to the protection of animals for many generations. His granddad helped the
removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost
much of their natural living space. When the house came up for sale, we jumped at
the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of owning it. Now, we were absolutely
overjoyed to do something for the giraffe protection. Having the giraffes so close
is very special and something which people can now experience by staying in one of
the ten rooms at the hotel.”
A conservation project to save them was started at the manor in 1974 by the
previous owners. “The previous owners ran a very successful breeding( 繁
殖)programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild and we hope to
continue,” said Tanya.
28. Why are the Carr-Hartley family unusual?
A. They're living on the rarest giraffes. B. They share their home with
giraffes.
C. They're good at making giraffes' food. D. They train giraffes to manage the
hotel.
29. What can we know about Mikey's family?
A. It has had a long connection with giraffes. B. It used to raise giraffes around
the manor.
C. It built a new manor for the wild giraffes. D. It removed giraffes to Mount
Kilimanjaro.
30. Which can best describe the manor's previous owners' conservation project?
A. Visitor-friendly. B. Energy-saving. C. Costly. D. Fruitful.
31. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Giraffes' breakfast by guests B. Reasons for giraffe protection
C. The world's only giraffe hotel D. History of the giraffe manor
D
Britain's first zero-carbon homes are being built-and they look like something
from a science-fiction movie.
There are 25 eco-friendly homes currently being built in Southmoor, near
Abingdon, Oxon. Buyers are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens
and bathrooms. One three-bedroom home is on the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom
build available to suit your own specification. These eco-friendly houses are
powered entirely by electricity from solar panels around the houses. They also have
advanced ventilation( 通 风 )systems, making sure that temperatures inside the
building don't go beyond 259Cfor more than 10% of hours annually, as well as mini
heat pumps to generate(产生)the heating and hot water on-site. Part of the cooling
design includes avoiding east-or west-facing windows, and window shading.
And they're in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the
Government should do more to promote the construction of this type of housing.
“Unfortunately, the Government relaxed the proposed 2016 zero-carbon targets after
being lobbied( 游说)by house builders," Ian explained. “At present, the main
house-building corporations control the land and only build at the rate they are
sure will sell，keeping the UK's housing shortage so that the normal rules of ‘supply
and demand' don't apply. When there is a shortage of housing, buyers have to purchase
what is available rather than what they might want.”
In any sensible society, we would expect the planning system to actively
encourage zero-carbon houses，and he tough on anyone failing to deliver the necessary
standard. Instead, we have a planning system that focuses on other aspects such as
numbers of bedrooms, garden sizes, and parking places. These are important aspects，but
they pale into insignificance compared to the catastrophic consequences of climate
change.
32. What can a purchaser do before buying the type of housing?
A. Negotiate its price. B. Choose where to build it.
C. Decide how the inside of it looks. D. Design its ventilation.
33. How do people react to the zero-carbon homes?
A. Welcome. B. Uncaring. C. Skeptical. D. Demanding.
34. What do house-building companies intend to do?
A. Balance the" supply and demand" of houses.
B .Purchase more land to stop climate change.
C. Build more houses powered by the sun.
D. Make it more difficult to buy houses.
35. What's the author's attitude to the Government's planning system?
A. Satisfied. B. Disapproving. C. Worried. D. Ambiguous.

Bad communication, either written, oral, or body language, can send the wrong
message in more ways than one. Here are some tips that will improve your communication
skills.
36 Stand up straight, and it will show confidence. Smile, and you will seem
approachable. Don't cross your arms over your chest, because this tells people you
disapprove. Keep your hands to your side, or if you are sitting, keep them in your
lap.
Have confidence when you speak. If you are shy and quiet ， project your
voice. 37 Never turn your head away from someone when you are speaking to them,
because it may show them you don't care enough to give them your full attention,
and it will make it harder for the other person to hear what you are saying.
38 If you always say “I've no idea of it”, it will make others feel like
you don't care enough to give a response, or that you aren't knowledgeable enough
to answer. When people ask questions, they want answers. 39 Say something like
“I'm in the middle of something, can I get back to you?" or “I don't want to ill
advise you, let me find out for you.”
In written communication, always he clear. Before you send an e-mail, or any
type of written communication, read over it at least once, to be sure it makes sense.
40 Written forms of communication can be tricky, because there is no way to put
your tone of voice in, so if you feel like you are writing a message on a touchy
subject that could he misunderstood, it's probably best to have a face to face
conversation.
A. Have good body language.
B. Listen to the person attentively.
C. Never answer with “I don't know".
D. Don't give the person you are speaking to a quick response.
E. Always look the person in the eye when you are speaking to them.
F. If you aren't sure it's clear, have someone else read it before you send it.
G. If someone puts you on the spot, you don't have to answer them right away.
