The Rockford police chief and some city officials want to install video cameras in all 100 police cars. They think this will reduce the number of lawsuits(诉讼) against the city. In the last five years, Rockford has paid out more than five million dollars to settle about 40 lawsuits.
The chief said, “If cameras had been in those cars, we wouldn’t have had to pay one penny. We’re always pulling over drunks or drug users who try to fight the policemen or shoot them. Then they always say that the police started beating them first or started shooting at them first. What nonsense!”
The cost of installing cameras will be about $500 per car. The city council(委员会) will vote on the plan next Monday. Ten of the 13 council members, when asked about the plan, said that they liked the idea. One member said that it made good financial sense and common sense. If the cameras are supported, they can be installed in all the cars within six weeks.
The police officers gladly support camera use. One officer said that too many people thought the police were liars; cameras would show citizens that the police told the truth.
Citizen reaction to the idea of police car cameras is mixed. One person said that the police should have started doing this years ago when video cameras were invented. But an elderly man said that cameras were against privacy. “These police are trying to stick their nose into everything,” he said. He was going to attend the council meeting to fight the plan. He hoped that other citizens would join him.
1.How did most council members feel about the plan?
A. Worried. B. Surprised.
C. Disappointed D. Satisfied.
2.The underlined word “liars” refers to the people .
A. who tell lies B. who catch thieves
C. who give advice D. who buy products
3.What are the public’s attitudes towards the plan?
A. They will attend the council meeting.
B. They strongly support the elderly man.
C. They hold different opinions about it.
D. They think highly of video cameras.
4.What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Cameras in Police Cars.
B. A Plan Against the City.
C. All the Citizens, United!
D. Shooting at the Police.
5.Rockford should pay about $ dollars for the plan.

I had recently arrived in London and I wanted to see some of the famous places. Should I go to the seaside? Or maybe one of the famous parks? I walked along the street, past a kindergarten playground, and suddenly saw an underground railway station. I was surprised because it was not on my map. I went to buy a ticket. The ticket-seller looked very old. He gave me a ticket, said "Remember it's a return", laughed and walked away without taking my money. Was it special for tourists?
A train arrived. I could not see any other passengers. I got on and the doors closed. I suddenly felt I should not have got onto the train. It started to go faster and faster, shooting along the tracks. As it entered the tunnel, everything became as dark as midnight and I do not remember the next few minutes. The train came to a station and I got out. I could see light shining in the distance so I walked towards it and came to a door. Beyond it there was a busy street.
There were lots of English people walking about, and I could see some of the famous buildings of London, but there was something wrong. The people's clothes were strange. There were no cars, no motorbikes—but there were horses everywhere. Was someone making a film?
“Excuse me,” I said to a man. “Would you mind telling me where I am and what is happening?”
“What do you mean? Who are you? Where do you come from? Are you from China? This is London and everyone's going to work. Can't you see that?” he asked.
“Thank you, sir. I'm sorry, but could I look at your newspaper?” I asked.
“You can have it,” he said as he walked off.
I looked at it; I saw “New Bicycle Law” and above that “July 5, 1880”.
Maybe I should have walked around, but I ran back to the door. I waited a long time. I was very afraid. A train came. I got on. It took me back to the first station. As I left, a woman asked, “What were you doing in that abandoned station?” I had no answer, but I still had the newspaper in my hand.
1.Why was the author surprised at the beginning of the story?
A. Because he suddenly saw an underground railway station.
B. Because he walked past a kindergarten playground.
C. Because the ticket-seller looked very old.
D. Because he couldn’t find the station on his map.
2.What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A. The train. B. The light.
C. The distance. D. The door
3.Why did the author think he had arrived in a film-making scene?
A. Because he could see some of the famous buildings of London.
B. Because he had done something wrong in the street of London.
C. Because he could only see horses rather than cars in the streets.
D. Because the people in the streets were all neatly dressed.
4.According to the passage, New Bicycle Law might be _______.
A. The name for a London street.
B. The name for a film made in London.
C. The name for a newspaper article
D. The name for a underground station.
5.Where can this passage most probably be taken from?
A. In a storybook.
B. In a math textbook.
C. In a travel guidebook.
D. In a scientific experiment report.

Colorado officials will stick to a plan to kill some mountain lions and bears to support the state’s dropping mule deer (长耳鹿) population.
Wednesday’s vote permits organizations to kill up to 25 black bears and 15 mountain lions per year in the central and western parts of the state. The project will run for three years, to be followed by a six-year study of how deer populations respond to fewer predators(捕食者).
The population of Colorado’s mule deer has suffered a puzzling, years-long drop to about 450,000, which state officials said was about 110,000 fewer than there should be. A 2014 state study tied it to seven causes, including predators, whose number has greatly increased in recent years.
Some experts, however, said the state should focus first on the human-led destruction(破坏) of mule deer habitat(栖息地). “The drop of the mule deer population is obviously not a simple problem with simple causes,” Brian Kurzel, director of the National Wildlife Federation, said. “By far, the greatest problem—the one that I think deserves the most attention in any science-based study—is habitat quantity and quality.”
Kurzel pointed out that the U.S Bureau of Land Management recently agreed to create 15,000 new oil and gas wells somewhere in western Cororado, which was often called “the mule-deer factory”. There, the number of mule deer has fallen to about 30,000 from more than 100,000 in the early 1980s. Though state officials have known oil and gas development affects the population of mule deer, they didn’t go against the plan.
Other causes like building highways, population growth and human activities are also curbing the mule deer population, according to the study.
State Parks and Wildlife officials don’t necessarily disagree. They started a $4.5 million program as a way to gather research for later decisions.
1.Why do Colorado officials want to have so many mountain lions and bears killed?
A. To stop them hurting people.
B. To leave more habitat for mule deer.
C. To stop the mule deer population from dropping.
D. To help researchers carry out a three-year-long study.
2.What is the most important in protecting mule deer according to Brian Kurzel?
A. Protecting their habitat. B. Providing enough food for them.
C. Reducing the number of their predators. D. Asking the government to make an effort.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “curbing” in the last but one paragraph?
A. limiting. B. ensuring. C. increasing. D. protecting.
4.What do State Parks and Wildlife official mean in the last paragraph?
A. Decisions will be made in one year.
B. Habitat loss is the main cause of the drop.
C. Human activities aren’t responsible for the drop.
D. It’s too early to say what exactly caused the drop.

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.
Canada left the Britain in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.
The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example. Outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you'll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels（标签）and instructions in both languages.
In Canada's English speaking provinces, official bilingualism（双语）means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this programme, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten（幼儿园）or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school, 25 per cent of the teaching will continue to be in English.
1. How many provinces are there in Canada?
A. Ten B.Nine C.Eleven D.Two
2.Which country controlled Canada before its independence?
A. France. B. Britain. C. America. D. Germany.
3.Which of the following sentences is Right?
A. English is the only official language, though French is also spoken there.
B. The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.
C. All products sold in Canada must be explained in both English and French.
D. In any restaurant in Canada, you can find French on the menu.
4.In Canada’s English speaking provinces, what does official bilingualism means?
A. Students have to complete a special French language course.
B. Under the programme, the students are mainly taught in English.
C. If a student begins a special French language course, in kindergarten or Grade one all his lessons may be in French.
D. When the students are at junior high school, they will only be taught in English.

短文续写
Once upon a time, in a small town, a man stole some money from a house. The police began to look for the thief. After two days, they found him. They brought him to the police station and found some of the money in his coat.
There was a new policeman at the police station, and they wanted to give him some work.
“Take this thief to the city,” said one of them.” You must go there by train. It will leave very soon. Don’t be late.
“The policeman and the thief went to the station. On their way, they came to a shop selling bread.
“We have no food, and we must eat something on the train,” said the thief. “It’s a long way to the city, and it will take a long time to get there. I’ll go into this shop and buy some bread. Then you and I can eat it on the train. Wait here for me.
The policeman was happy. “At least I’ll have some food on the train,” he thought. “Be quick,” he said to the thief. “We don’t have much time.”
The thief went into the shop, and the policeman waited in the street for a long time. He began to worry. He thought about the train, and at last, he went into the shop.
“Where’s that man who came to buy some bread?” asked the policeman.
“Oh. he went out of the back door,” said the shopkeeper.
The policeman ran outside, but he could not find the thief. So, he had to go back to the police station and tell the others what had happened. They were very angry with him, and he was very unhappy.
All the policemen in the town began to look for the thief again, and they soon caught him. They brought him back to the police station and called the same policeman.
