46、ur readers.Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may eve

47、n do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade（避让）them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision（碰撞）.The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them,

48、 much more important than the welfare of others.Michael HoranI love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists（Viewpoints, May 29）.

50、ax and be fined for not wearing them.Carol HarveyCyclists jump on and off pavements（which are meant for pedestrians）, ride at speed alone the pavement, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the

51、pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?Its about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hi a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and the

Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that .A. drivers should be polite to cyclistsB. road accidents can actually be avoidedC. some pedestrians are a threat to road safetyD. walking while using phone

55、ristmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The messa

56、ge was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, alone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love wri

57、ting. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The

58、poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and

59、 purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper colored with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look

60、 on my dads face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.63.

86、ction B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of them. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and

87、 decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.When a crow, a kind of black bird, puts a cigarette end or a piece of rubbish in a box, a small amount of tasty food is given as a reward. Some crows are already in service

88、and others will begin soon.Crows have long been seen as symbols of evil and are often considered to be bad birds. A French park, however, has trained the birds to work for it.Six crows have been taught to fly around to check the popular historical theme park. In the park, they collect cigarette ends

89、 and other rubbish.These birds are considered “particularly intelligent” members of the crow family and are also quick workers. They are able to fill a bucket with rubbish in less than 45 minutes.Other birds in the crow family are also very clever. In the wild, crows use tools. They can also remembe

90、r faces. When fed by a human, they will give gifts in return.“They like to communicate with humans and establish a relationship through play,” Mr. Villiers, manager of the park, said. “The goal of the project is not just to clear upbecause visitors are generally careful to keep things cleanbut also

91、to show that nature itself can teach us to take care of the environment.”(Now listen again, please)Questions:11. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?12.

92、ing passage.When youre walking around a city, how often do you look up and admire the view? Many of us are in too much of a rush to appreciate the architecture all around us.Cities are always growing, and when space is limited, they expand upwardsreaching for the sky. The skylines of many modern cit

93、ies are full of skyscrapers: landmarks that can be seen for miles around. These landmarks are often must-see sights for tourists. New York has its Empire State Building and the gorgeous skyscrapers of Manhattan. Dubai has the worlds tallest tower, which stands at 828 meters; and Shanghai has the wor

94、lds second tallest tower with the completion of the Shanghai Tower. London hasnt always been associated with the race for upward expansion, but since the opening of Canary Wharf tower in the citys Docklands area, the development of high-rise buildings has been unstoppable. Now London boasts new skys

95、crapers with odd nicknames that reflect the shapes of the buildings. Standing tall among them is the Shardand at 309 meters its Europes tallest building. But they are not loved by everyone. While some prefer them to uninspiring rows of office blocks, others say they block the view of old-fashioned l

96、andmarks and that they threaten Londons cultural identity. Some say theyre just ugly! A group of Londoners are now campaigning to stop certain high-rise developments. (Now listen again, please)Questions:14. Why are cities expanding upwards?15. Which of the following is a reason some people give for

97、disliking the high-rises in London?16. What can be learned from the passage?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Hi, Rob. Do you mind if I eat lunch with you?M: No, Mrs. Evans, not at all.W: Thanks. Ive just heard you study nutrition and youve got quite a lot of experie

98、nce working in the cafeteria. So, I wonder if you are interested in a small project we are doing this term.M: What is the project about?W: More and more students prefer not to buy meals here and we want to attract them back. I want to know what the students would like to eat. Your job will be findin

99、g this out. Of course Id also like to hear any of your ideas.M: Well, if the menus were changed, maybe I wouldnt have to listen to so much criticism this term. You know everyone in the nutrition class sees me when I serve food here. So they always complain to me about the food here.W: That makes you
