In the last few years, companies like oBike have begun flooding streets in places like Japan and
Australia with bikes. Businessman Mike Than Tun Win realized these bikes could do much good for
schoolchildren in Myanmar,of whom some walk an hour or more every day to school. Then he
created LessWalk which buys up the bikes, from other countries.
LessWalk modifies(改装)bikes to make them more useful for students. The rental bikes used to
require a smartphone app to unlock them. LessWalk changed this for a lock with a key. They also
added a second seat in the back of the bikes, allowing two children to ride to school on one bike.
Recently they're replacing the bike's regular tires with a solid tire that can't go flat. With all the
changes, each bike packed attractively costs LessWalk about $ 35. “Despite the cost, the benefits it
can develop are well worth trying," Than told TechCrunch.
The project bought thousands of rental bikes from failed companies and shipped them to
Myanmar. The process wasn't as easy as it sounds-there was lots of paperwork concerned in moving
the bikes from one country to another. But giving out the hikes takes a little longer given that
LessWalk wants to make sure that the bikes go, for free, to the students who need theme the most
and Myanmar has a population of over 50 million people and more than nine million students. The
project is working with Myanmar's government and school systems to focus on poor students
walking long distances a day to school.
Than hopes to bring in as many as 100,000 hikes and expand the program to other countries like
Laos and Cambodia. Than is also hopeful that he can inspire "global friends" to follow him to put
the abandoned bikes to work, instead of creating yet more urban waste.
24. How many modifications does LessWalk do to the bikes?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
25. Why does it take longer to donate the recycled bikes?
A. Shipping the bikes is so difficult. B. There're too many poor students.
C. The bikes need packing carefully. D. Targeted bike donation is needed.
26. Which can best describe Than Tun Win as the leader of the project?
A. Ambitious. B. Encouraged. C. Well-experienced. D. Nature-loving.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Removal of Urban Rubbish B. Recycle of Donated Bikes
C. Benefits beyond the Cost D. Students' New Vehicles

There's a well-known story in the world of literary translators about the translator who was
thrilled to see his work appear at great length in an article in a popular magazine. He had translated
many novels by a little-known Scandinavian novelist, who he believed had been ignored and not
received the attention or praise the novelist deserved. He had devoted much time to trying to get this
novelist some recognition. The article agreed with his assessment of the novelist's works mentioning
long passages from his translations.
But something was missing. The translator searched in vain for a mention of his name. It didn't
appear anywhere. The translator's joy at the " coverage(报道)of the author he liked was considerably
ruined by this. He felt that he himself should have had some recognition in the article. It was as if the
translator did not exist, and all the efforts he had made had never happened.
Most people would agree that it was wrong of the magazine not to mention the translator.
However, it is also true that most readers themselves operate in exactly the same way, and for them
it is also as if the translator didn't exist. When people read a translation of a novel, they want to feel
they are reading what the novelist, and not someone else, wrote. They don't wan to he reminded that
they are not reading, and would not be able to read, the original novel created by the novelist, not
wishing to know who the translator was or pay any attention to what they have done.
In this global age, more and more works of fiction are being translated into more and more
languages. Readers are now able to experience and understand other cultures more than ever through
the reading of translated novels. So the works of more and more novelists can reach people in other
parts of the world. This applies not only to new novels but also to fresh translations of old classics.
28. What can we know about the translator in Paragraph 1?
A. His opinion was shared by the magazine. B. The novelist's works were his favourite.
C. He often sent articles to the magazine. D. The novelist got famous with his help.
29. How did the translator feel when he looked closely at the article in the magazine?
A. Regretful. B. Proud. C. Upset. D. Skeptical.
30. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The contributions of novel translators. B. The general attitude towards translators.
C. The readers' different tastes in literature. D. The importance of reading original works.
31. What does the author stress when talking about the global age?
A. The shortage of able novel translators. B. The number of readers of original works.
C. The value of novels in different countries. D. The variety of fiction available to readers.

On 23 June 2016, UK(United Kingdom)adults made a historic decision. More than 33 million
people voted for the.UK to leave the European Union(EU). In the referendum, the result was that
around 52% of them-just over half-voted to leave the group of 28 countries. This is called Brexit
made up to describe the "British Exit". No country had ever left the EU before, so Brexit was a
significant moment in European history.
After UK and EU leaders had lots of hard negotiations about how Brexit would work, on 22nd,
January,2020, Wednesday, the British Parliament finally approved an agreement about the UK's
divorcing the EU, which Queen Elizabeth II agreed to on Thursday. The deal was expected to pass in
the European Parliament the next week. If everything went well, the UK would leave the EU on
January 31, 2020. It did! The UK finally and officially left the EU at l1 pm on this day, ending a
process that began three and a half years before. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit fans
celebrated with fireworks and big parties. For many they called it the UK's Independence Day. For
many others in the UK, it represented the final stage of something they fought hard to prevent. Now
the deal has been signed and Britain has left, but it doesn't mean the life in Britain will change
suddenly. Until 31st December 2020, freedom of movement will continue and this means UK
citizens will have the right to live and work in the EU.
Making things even more difficult is the fact that the next challenge of Brexit has arrived. The
UK and EU now have almost one year to work out the details of the relationship they will have in
the future. Many experts express their common concern that making these new agreements will go
through the same experience as the original Brexit deal.
32. What does the underlined word "referendum" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Explanation. B. Vote. C. Deal. D. Statement.
33. What day was it when the UK left the EU officially?
A. Tuesday. B. Wednesday. C. Thursday. D. Friday.
34. What can we say about Brexit?
A. It was an extremely difficult' process. B. It. is a great victory for all UK people.
C. It means a temporary loss for the EU. D. It brings UK people a new life overnight.
35. What is the experts' attitude towards Brexit's next work?
A. Ambiguous. B. Confident. C. Worried. D. Cautious.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
It is not difficult to prepare for exams.
You should review your notes regularly. Every one of you has formed the habit of taking notes.
However that's not enough. Make sure to review and expand upon your class notes regularly
throughout the term. 36
Don't cram(突击备考)at the last second. Evidence shows that students experience declining
returns on their efforts when they attempt to study for four and five hours straight. So you shouldn't
be reviewing the night before the exam because you will wake up tired. 37 Obviously, it's not
worth the cost.
You should also complete. a mock(模拟)test. If you complete it 3-4 days before an exam, you'll
then know where to focus your studying. 38 For your every subject, try answering a couple of
potential questions on a timed, closed book basis and see how you do. Another simple way to
conduct a mock test is to ask a friend or a classmate to give you an oral quiz based on contents in the
textbooks or in your notes.
39 A group study session is a fantastic model to review and compare notes, ask each
other questions, explain ideas to one another, and discuss the difficult concepts. To focus on the
topic, do set an agenda and a specific time frame for your group study session.
40 . The best food for the brain is sleep, so you'll need enough sleep during exam times.
Try and get good quality sleep. Don't sleep with your books all over your bed or with lights, music
or the computer on.
A. How can you finish this step?
B. Make sure to get plenty of sleep.
C. Make your room comfortable while sleeping.
D. Find a group of classmates with whom to study.
E. If so, you will not be able to focus during the exam.
F. Organize a study group before exams to discuss your notes.
G. Making good use of your notes will leave you well-prepared at exam time.
