The Visitor Oyster card
A Visitor Oyster card is the cheapest way to pay for a single adult journey in London. It’s a
plastic smart card. You can use it on the bus, tube, tram, DLR,London Overground and most National
Rail services. It’s much cheaper than buying individual tickets, in some cases costing 50% less than
the price of a regular paper ticket.
How to get a Visitor Oyster card
You can buy a Visitor Oyster card online. Your card will be delivered by post.The card costs £5
and you choose how much money you want to add to the card.This means you can start using the card
the moment you arrive in Central London.
How does the Visitor Oyster card work?
The Oyster card works on a pay-as-you-go system. You start by adding money to the card. Then
you travel, the cost of the fare will automatically be deducted from your Visitor Oyster card. For
example, if you add £20 to the card and make a tube journey of £2.30, you will have £17.70 left on the
card.
A few more points:
·A child under the age of 11 travels free when accompanied by an adult.
·You’ll save more money if you use the tube several times. The Visitor Oyster card is “capped
(给……定上限)” at £6.80 per day.
·You’ll pay more during peak times. Peak fares apply from Monday to Friday (6:30am—9:30
am; 4:00 pm —7:00 pm), except for public holidays.
·Reuse the Oyster card by adding credit at a tube station, Oyster ticket shop or Visitor Centre.

On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War (抗击新型肺炎战), the
Ministry of Education issued (公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It
was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend
on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are difficult to disguise their anxiety that putting off the start of school
may have an effect on children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not
learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before.
Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously
affect their physical and mental health.
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we
avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize
online teaching and create a network platform (平台) , where necessary courses will be shown every
day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at
home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not
worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their
learning ability, and truly achieve“no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the
recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health
knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at
the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which
is good for physical health at home.
24. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because _________.
A. children may be infected by virus B. they don't like the idea of online learning
C. children's study may be affected D. parents have no time to look after children
25. Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?
A. To keep playing online games
B. To keep touching different people.
C. To do some physical exercises outside
D. To get children prepared for virus by teaching them health knowledge
26. The underlined word"suspension"in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. plan B. stop C.waste D.beginning
27. What's the best title for this passage
A. A Special Way to Learn at Home B. A New War with a New Chance
C. A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy D. A Method to Make Parents Worried
C
I know it may be hard to convince you, but let me try: Don't kill the next spider you see in your
home.
Why? Because spiders are an important part of nature and our indoor ecosystem—as well as
being fellow organisms(生物) in their own right.
People like to think of their living places as safely isolated from the outside world, but many
types of spiders can be found inside. Some are accidentally trapped, while others are short-term
visitors. Some species even enjoy the great indoors, where they happily live out their lives and make
more spiders. These spiders are usually secretive, and almost all you meet are neither aggressive nor
dangerous. And they may be providing services like eating pests——some even eat other spiders.
My colleagues and I conducted a visual survey of 50 North Carolina homes and found that
every single house we visited was home to spiders. The most common species we encountered were
cobweb spiders and cellar spiders. They simply eat anything they can catch. Spiders regularly capture annoying pests and even disease-carrying insects—for example, mosquitoes. There's even a
species of jumping spider that prefers to eat blood-filled mosquitoes in African homes. So killing a
spider doesn't just cost it its life, it may take an important predator out of your home.
Spiders are not out to get you and actually prefer to avoid humans; we are much more
dangerous to them than vice versa. Bites from spiders are extremely rare. Although there are a few
medically important species like widow spiders and recluses, even their bites are uncommon and
rarely cause serious issues.
If you truly can't stand that spider in your house, apartment, garage, or wherever, instead of
killing it, try to capture it and release it outside. It'll find somewhere else to go, and both parties will
be happier with the outcome.
But if you can stomach it, it's OK to have spiders in your home. In fact, it's normal. And
frankly, even if you don't see them, they'll still be there. So consider a live-and-let-live approach to
the next spider you encounter.
28. What is the text mainly about?
A. Varieties of spiders. B. Skills of treating spider bites.
C. Ways to avoid poisonous spiders. D. Reasons for not killing house spiders.
29. Why should we avoid killing spiders according to the author?
A. Because killing them costs much.
B. Because they do more good than harm.
C. Because most of them aren't poisonous.
D. Because they just stay in our houses temporarily.
30. What should be done to get rid of spiders from your house?
A. Trap them and starve them. B. Capture them and kill them.
C. Capture them and release them outside. D. Trap them and feed them with mosquitoes.
31. What does the underlined word "stomach" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Eat. B. Stand. C. Kill. D. Capture.
D
It’s often said of British people that they are very aware of each other’s social rank. Britons can
usually work out a fellow countryman’s background from the way they speak or dress, and may even
treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today, visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion (1913), by the Irishman
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British
society.
The main story of the play concerns a working class girl, Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller from
London. Two upper class gentlemen try to see if they can get Doolittle to appear like an upper class
lady after sending her for elocution lessons. Professor Henry Higgins, a language expert, says it can be
done; his friend Colonel Pickering says that it’s impossible. Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza
how to “speak properly”.
Of course, Eliza isn’t a lump of clay; she has her own will. She can see that it’s in her best interest
to go along with Higgins’ plan to “improve herself”. She wants to be able to sell flowers in a shop
rather than on the street. After the training, Eliza proves that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady
at a ball. She is a triumph (赢家), and Higgins has won his bet.
But what happens next? Eliza has her future to worry about. She may be able to fool the upper
class into thinking she’s one of them, but she isn’t really one of them.
Shaw seems to be telling us that social rank is about more than the way someone talks-it’s about
wealth and privilege. The whole experiment proves the idea that accents and classes are very
superficial (肤浅的). The way one speaks and dresses are only markers of class. The class system
itself, however, is something completely different.
32. What can we learn about speaking and dressing from Paragraph 1?
A. They determine Britons’ social rank. B. Britons are stricter in them nowadays.
C. Britons no longer care about them. D. They could affect others’ opinion of a person.
33. Which can replace the underlined word “elocution”?
A. dress B. manners C. speech D. dance
34. What happens to Eliza Doolittle during the experiment?
A. She is forced to give up selling flowers on the street.
B. She is unwilling to participate in the experiment.
C. She is thought of as an upper-class lady at the hall.
D. She is hopeful about her future.
35. Which of the following would Shaw probably agree with?
A. One can enter the upper class after receiving training.B. People should try their best to improve their accents.
C. The way people speak greatly affects their social status.
D. Social rank can’ t be judged by dressing or speaking.

Nowadays, some students would not like to live in a dormitory. Instead, they rented houses
outside the school. There are advantages for them. Living in a dormitory can increase friendship and
cooperation among classmates, but of course it is safer. Besides, a dormitory is like a society, where
makes students learn to get along with each other, thus preparing the social life later. As for renting
houses to live lonely, it is better for their study as they can feel freely in their own room without
being interrupted by others. As a result, they can have a plenty of time to devote themselves to
review their lessons wholeheartedly. But there may appear a few safety problem as we live outside
the school. Anyhow as a student, I prefer living in a dormitory.
