At the station, he taught himself their hand movements on the control panel. He stayed in the control rooms and soaked up whatever he could until they asked him to leave.

Punks, Ravers, Mods and Teddy Boys are the names of British youth subcultures (亚文 化) from the last 70 years.
Youth Club, a UK not-for-profit organization, released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain’s recent history.
“A catalyst (催化剂) for creativity on the worldwide stage, British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the Grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music, fashion and creativity across the globe”, it wrote on its website.
These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young “punks” 要 people dressed in ripped denim (破洞), leather jackets, body piercings (穿孔)
and with brightly-dyed hair on the streets. And in the 90s, “ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.
So, what was the reason behind these subcultures?
“On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints (约束) of society,” wrote Ian Youngs, BBC entertainment reporter. “Unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval ( 剧变)
added fuel to their fires.”
“Fashion and music are much cheaper and faster today.” said Ruth Adams, a culture lecturer at King’s College London, “but it’s all a bit more blurry (模糊不清的).” She believes it’s harder to figure out someone’s personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them.
Despite this, Adams believes that today’s young people are still finding their own way
to express themselves, but in a more modern way.
28. According to the text, British youth subcultures .
A. were a way for youth to express their identities
B. were started by Youth Club to promote creativity
C. could be traced back to the 1970s
D. had a greater effect on fashion than music
29. What contributed to the popularity of youth subcultures?
A. Youth club of culture movements.
B. Young people’s longing for fame and wealth.
C. Young people’s desire for freedom and fun.
D. The easy access to fashion and music.
30. Which of the following would Ruth Adams probably agree with?
A. It costs more money to stick to fashion and music.
B. Young people today can’t express themselves easily.
C. Young people today are less interested in music and fashion.
D. It’s harder to recognize the personalities of young people today.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards subcultures?
A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
D
Skin cancer deaths among men have jumped sharply in wealthy nations since 1985, with death rates among women rising more slowly or even declining, researchers have told a medical conference in Glasgow.
Reasons for the difference between sexes are unclear but evidence suggests men are less likely to protect themselves from the sun or pay attention to public health warnings, Dorothy Yang, a doctor said.
More than 90% of melanoma (黑素瘤) cancers are caused by skin cell damage from
exposure to the sun or other sources of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, according to the US Centers for Disease Control.
In eight of 18 developed countries examined, men’s skin cancer death rates had in鄄
creased in the past 30 years by at least
50%.
But the nations with the biggest rise in skin cancer deaths were often not those with the highest death rates, the research showed. In Australia, for example, nearly six out of every 100,000 men died of the disease in 2013 -2015. That is twice the second highest death rate (Finland), but only a 10% increase compared to 30 years earlier.
Australia has been an early performer of public health media campaigns since the
1970s to promote 耶sun-smart’ behaviour. While debate continues on how much of Australia’s record skin cancer rate originates from the sun, 30 years of public health campaigns have no doubt made Australians acutely aware of the dangers.
Skin cancer deaths among women in 1985 in Australia occurred at half the rate as for men, and declined by 10% over the next 30 years. In Other countries, female death from
the disease went down over the same period. In some other sun -loving nations, however, women saw at least as sharp a jump from 1985 to 2015 in death rates as men.
Scientists are studying whether biological or genetic factors might also play a role in skin cancer, but findings so far are inconclusive.
32. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Death rates among women are declining all the time.
B. Australia is the first country to conduct public health media campaigns. C. Death rate of skin cancer in Australia was once the highest.
D. Female death rate of skin cancer in some sun-loving countries went down.
33. What probably keeps people away from skin cancer according to the text?
A. Declining exposure to UV.
B. Biological or genetic factors. C. People’s love for sun.
D. People paying little attention to public health warnings.
34. What does the underlined word “inconclusive” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Unclear. B. Evident. C. Definite. D. Satisfying.
35. What’s people’s attitude to public health campaigns in Australia?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Critical. D. Controversial.

Everyone has moments of forgetfulness from time to time, especially when life gets busy.
36 , having a poor memory can be frustrating. However, research has shown that there are ways to improve your memory.
Sleep on it
Sleeping well helps make episodic memories stronger. 37 , especially relat鄄 ing to learning motor skills, such as learning to play a musical instrument or ride a bike. Having a full night’s sleep soon after gaining a new skill helps strengthen the processes involved.
Believe to remember
Positive thinking appears to improve memory performance. Researchers found they could improve the performance of people aged 60 and above in memory tests by presenting
them with positive age-related words such as “wise”, and “sharp-witted”. 38 . Brain
scans have shown differences in activity levels in brain regions, according to whether or not individuals believe they have good recall abilities or not.
39
Memories can be weakened if the brain doesn’t have enough downtime to strengthen them. More than a century ago, German scientists showed that people performed almost twice as well in memory tests if they took breaks.
Stay social
40 . US scientists who asked people in their 50s and 60s to do memory tests every other year found there is a slower
decline in recall abilities of their most so鄄 ciable persons. Having good friends, volunteering and other forms of social engagement
also protect memory.
A. Take a break
B. Stay mentally active
C. Having an active social life delays memory loss as we age
D. Poor sleep is thought to have a significant effect on memory
E. Giving others words such as “forgets” and “confused” weakened their performance
F. While this can be a completely normal occurrence
G. There is evidence that sleep plays a vital role in strengthening memories

Dear Jim,
I’m writing to tell you about bike-sharing mentioned in your last letter. It’s very easy
to do it if you have a smartphone. Find a shared bicycle around you using the mobile app.. Scan the QR code on the bike and unclock it. Then you can enjoy your trip.
Bike sharing is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation. Bicycles can be picked up and left anywhere, making them convenient for users. Besides, it’s cheaper and
friendly to the environment. And it also relieves the traffic pressure.
However, problems have arisen. Piles of bicycles are found here and there, making city authorities frustrated. It’s a pity that some of them are damaged
badly on purpose.
Hope to ride with you in China.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

W: My husband changed his job, and it took him a long time to get to the new office, so we moved. But it was a long distance from where I worked, so I decided to find a new job.
M: Oh, I see.
W: What kind of advertisement do you want to put in the newspaper?
M: I want to sell my house, as my wife wants me to move to England. She doesn’t want to
live in America.
W: In that case, it might be hard to see you
again. M: I guess so.
W: Hey, will you be busy next Saturday? M: Probably, why?
W: I’m moving to a new apartment. It would be great if you could help me load my boxes
into the car.
M: Hey, I’m very sorry, but I don’t think I can make it. I have to play basketball that
day.
W: Oh, come on! You can play basketball anytime!
M: I missed the last few weeks because I had too much work to do. If I miss it again, the other guys will be really mad. Can’t you move on Sunday instead? I could help you
then.
W: It has to be Saturday! The landlord already arranged for someone else to move in the next day. I can’t believe you only care about yourself. You’re supposed to be my
friend!
M: Oh, all right, I’ll help you.
W: Oh, that’s great. Thanks! Will you come around 5:00 in the morning?
M: What? Why so early?
W: I’m borrowing my friend’s car, and she needs it for work. The only time I can use it is
early in the morning. Don’t worry. It will only take an hour or two!
M: Well, I guess I can play basketball later that day.

M: Next on the program, we’re offering free tickets to go and see a film called A Y ear in
G ree nland. The film, which tells you all about the plants and animals in that wonderful country, has won a prize at the national film festival. It’s well worth seeing.
The film can only be seen at a new cinema inside the Science Museum. It’s showing this Sunday with performances every hour from midday onwards, with the last showing at 5 o’clock, two hours before the museum closes.
So why not take the whole family to the museum this Sunday? There’s lots to do. Children will want to head straight down to the basement where the computers are kept. I promise you they’ll come away with all sorts of exciting pictures they’ve created. Moving to the first floor, a working steam engine and a life-sized model of a spaceship are among the favorite exhibits.
Entrance to the museum is free on Sundays, but it would normally cost $3.25 to go and see the film. To get your free tickets, you should e -mail this program by midday on Friday. We’ve only got a limited number of tickets, so the earlier you e-mail us, the more likely you are to get one.
So have a pencil and paper ready after this song.
