Tim Welford, aged 33, and Dom Mee, aged 30, both from England, were keen on rowing (划船) boats. They made a plan to row across the Pacific Ocean from Japan to San Francisco. The name of their rowboat was “Crackers.” It was about 7 meters long.

They set out from Japan on May 17, 2013. They had rowed nearly 5,500 miles when their boat was hit by a fishing ship on September 17，2013. Luckily they both escaped unharmed, but their boat was badly damaged and they had to stop their journey.

In a radio interview, Dom expressed his disappointment and explained how the accident took place.

“A fishing ship came towards us with nobody on the bridge (船桥) and ran us down. It all happened so quickly. I managed to jump into the water. Tim felt it would be safer to stay on board the boat. He was trapped (陷入) inside as the boat was driven under the water. Finally some people appeared on the ship and saw me in the water. I shouted at them to stop the ship and to get Tim out. When the ship stopped, I finally saw Tim, and I was very, very relieved (如释重负) that we were still alive. We were very disappointed that we couldn’t reach San Francisco. But we are alive. That above everything is the most important.”

One Saturday afternoon, Tom and his sister, Viv, were having tea in a café. Tom was telling Viv about his history project. “On Monday I am giving a speech in front of the class. It will be about famous inventions,” Tom told Viv. “Let’s go to the public library and find a book on inventions,” suggested Viv. “We’ll call the library first to see what time it closes.”

They walked over to an old telephone box and went inside. Just as Viv was about to ring ‘1888’, the number for Directory Enquiries（电话号查询台）, there was a loud crash outside the phone box. A woman had dropped her shopping bags.

Viv dialed the number. When she had finished, the telephone box started shaking, and a loud noise filled their ears. The shopping centre disappeared, and everything went dark. Suddenly there was a big bump. The telephone box stopped shaking and everything was quiet. Tom and Viv looked out of the window. They couldn’t believe their eyes! They were in the middle of a large field. Tom pushed the door and stepped outside.

“This is amazing!” he said. “I think we’ve travelled through time.” Suddenly some men on horses appeared. They were wearing strange clothes. They saw the children and started riding towards them, shouting.

“Let’s get out of here!” Tom shouted. They ran back inside and closed the door behind them.

“Those men look like people from the past,” Tom said. “You dialed the number ‘1888’ for Directory Enquiries. If we dial ‘2010’, perhaps we’ll return home.”

Tom dialed the number. He was nervous, however, and dialed ‘3010’ by mistake. The telephone box started shaking again, and the field disappeared. There was another large bump. Looking outside, the children saw strange buildings and cars. A face suddenly appeared outside the window. The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear.

“I don’t want to be in the future. I want to go home,” said Viv. Tom quickly dialed ‘2010’. Soon they were back in the shopping centre. Outside, a woman was picking up some shopping that she had dropped. Tom recognized the woman. “We’re back! Let’s help that woman with her shopping,” he said.

“Thank you. You’re very kind,” the woman replied to Tom’s offer of help.

She turned to look at the children. Tom and Viv jumped in horror. The woman had three eyes…

D. Answer the following questions (根据短文内容，回答下列问题）

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.

The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.

Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.

In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people　

and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked even harder.

Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike.

Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed feelings, like other kinds of art.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)

Mexico, the largest nation in the region, provides a good example of life in Central America. Although Mexico is a large country, only 12 percent of its land is good for farming. Another 40 percent is good land for cattle and farm animals. The rest of the land is hills and mountains, dry, high plateaus, or wet coastal regions.

The mountains are too high to farm. The high plateau in the middle of Mexico is too dry to plant crops. The coastal areas receive so much rain that the land often becomes waterlogged(水涝的). For all these reasons, Mexicans must take care of the good farmland they have. Yet good farming has not always been possible in Mexico.

For many centuries, Mexican farmers had grown traditional crops. These included corn, beans and squash. However, when the Spanish arrived in the 1500s, they tried to introduce new ideas. They thought new plants such as onions, turnips, sugarcanes and bananas would do well in the warm, tropical climate. But the Mexicans wished to continue(继续) with their old ways.

1.How much of the land in Mexico is good land for cattle and farm animals?

2.The high plateau in the middle of Mexico is a good farmland, isn’t it?

3.Why aren’t the coastal areas good for farming?

4.What did Spanish try to do in the 1500s?

5.Did the Mexicans want to grow the new crops?

Answer the questions (根据短文内容完整回答下列问题)：

Editor’s note: Nowadays, thanks to the Internet, taking online classes is becoming more and more popular. Some people say that they are a convenient way to study. While others worry that students may get distracted (分心的) by the Internet. What's your view on online education?

Online classrooms are helpful and useful. We may put our heart into learning when we are alone in front of a computer with no one to distract us. In addition, taking courses online also means we may have more time to operate a compute which is a good way to practice our computer skills.

Jack, 15

I love taking online courses. They give me a lot more choices and freedom. We can choose to learn whatever we exactly need and even preview the lesson we'll learn in classrooms. Also. Online classes enable people to study whenever and wherever they want, which is very convenient.

Julia, 16

I don't think online education is a good way to study. There are many bad or wrong things you know on the Internet, which may distract students from the courses they are taking. Also, unlike students who study in the classroom, students taking online courses have no one to tell them where they are in the whole learning process.

Ben, 16

I think the idea of taking online courses is crazy. It may increase our exposure(暴露) to computers, and the radiation(辐射) from them may do harm to the human body and lead to our eyesight getting worse. Also, looking straight at a computer for along time without exercising could be harmful to our health.

1.Some people think talking online classes is convenient, don’t they?

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is famous for its biking culture. Its people have biked to work since the 1880s. And recently, it has shown again that it is one of the world’s great biking cities.

For the first time, there are more bikes than cars in the heart of the city, reported The Guardian. It has found 13,100 more bikes than cars in the city center over the past year. In the last 20 years, the number of bikes used has risen by 68 percent.

This is mainly because of the huge efforts（努力）that the local government have made to create a bike city. Since 2005, a large amount of money has been spent on biking, and the city now has several new bridges only for biking and walking.

Bikes are also becoming more and more popular in China. An increasing number of people are cycling instead of driving to school, to their workplace or to tourist attractions. Public bike rental（出租）services have also been introduced in many cities, including Beijing, Hangzhou and Changchun.

The introduction of Mobike, a new public bike rental system-which started in Shanghai in April and came to Beijing on Sept 1-brought the use of bikes to a whole new level. After Scanning（扫描）the QR code（二维码）on the bike, you can ride the Mobike’s orange bikes to your destination. It is far more convenient than the old bike rental system. New payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat are also supported by the service.

Despite this, it’s still not easy to ride bikes in Chinese cities. Because cars usually take up bicycle lanes（车道）,bikers often have to ride next to cars. However, Copenhagen is much friendlier to bikes. Lanes are built to encourage cycling. Traffic lights are timed for bicycle speeds.

For example, Cycle Snake, a high orange bike lane, allows fast bikers to go in both directions. In the mid-afternoon during the summer, bikers can see the daylight between two nearby buildings. It makes riding a bike even more enjoyable.

1.Copenhagen is one of the world’s great biking cities, isn’t it?

__________________________________________________________________

2.Why are there more bikes than cars in the heart of Copenhagen?

Because the local government ______________________to create a bike city.

3.When did Copenhagen began to spend money on biking?

4.Which cities in China have public bike rental services according to the passage?

__________________________________________________________________

5.How can you use the Mobike’s orange bikes?

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

The baby is taking photos with his parents, the Duke and Duchess (公爵和公爵夫人) of Cambridge. The pictures were taken by the duchess’ father, Michael Middleton, in the garden of their family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire. Taken earlier this month, they show the royal ,couple, Prince George and their black cocker spaniel (西班牙猎犬), Lupo. Tilly, a golden dog, belonging to the Middleton family, can be seen lying down behind them. The photographs of Prince George, who was born on 22 July, were published by Kensington Palace.

On Monday Prince William, giving his first interview since becoming a father, told CNN:

“He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I’m not sure, but he*s doing very well at the moment.”

BBC reporter Nicholas Witchell said the new family looks “unselfconscious (自然的), relaxed and happy - much like most couples might look with their first-born baby”. He added: “Of course they’re aware of what’s expected of them. There will be staff - a nanny (保姆) to help in

due course (适时地), but for the moment it’s all rather informal and many might think, refreshing.”

Famous photographer Terry O’Neill said he thought the pictures were “absolutely charming”.

“It reminded me when I first started photography for myself - I just went for the light, and it was really interesting lighting (打灯光). As a matter of fact when I heard about these pictures, I thought ‘Who have they got to do these pictures’ - and the thought crossed my mind they might have asked the Queen because she’s quite a good photographer.”

The cultural and education manager of Magnum Photos, Fiona Rogers, told Radio 4’s Today program the photograph of the couple and Prince George with the family’s dogs was “technically not the most accomplished (技艺高超的) photograph”.

“It’s a photograph that any one of us could have in our family albums,” she said.

1.Who is Tilly?

2.Where were the pictures taken?

3.When was Prince George born?

4.What did Terry O’Neill think of the pictures?

5.What did Fiona Rogers think of the picture?

6.What is this report mainly about?
