During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike, that’s really confusing!”

Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 800,000 — more than the city’s 750,000 inhabitants. According to an estimate made 5 years ago, 490,000 bicyclists take to streets daily.

But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges. Lotta says, “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”

Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to put forward plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.

Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.

She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have thought of: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”

Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior mayor, says. “I talk to the parents. Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”

14. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?

A. Important.        B. Difficult.

C. Unnecessary.       D. Valuable.

15. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?

A. To teach children how to ride.

B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.

C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.

D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.

16. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?

A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.

B. She has won a contest about cycling.

C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.

D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.

17. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?

A. Cautious.  B. Favorable.  C. Ambiguous.  D. Disapproving.

C

Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers (障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials when they move.

Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas (签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.

Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments have conflicts with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.

Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.

18. The examples in Paragraph 1 are used to tell the readers that ________.

A. transportation and communication networks bring people together

B. it’s important to prevent people from transporting and communicating

C. people made it difficult for themselves to transport and communicate

D. natural barriers mainly influenced transportation and communication

19. How is Paragraph 2 mainly organized?

A. By listing several facts.    B. By listing several figures.

C. By following the order of time.  D. By following the order of importance.

20. Which of the following may lead to people’s less communication between countries?

A. People today have the ability to travel without any of the barriers.

B. The governments can’t reach agreement each other on big issues.

C. Citizens of some countries aren’t good at exchanging news or ideas.

D. Countries require their citizens to keep all the information secret.

21. We may learn from the passage that ________.

A. people cannot remove the obstacles made by nature and themselves

B. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones

C. with so many barriers, people can’t travel and exchange goods and ideas

D. natural barriers have always been difficult and dangerous to cross for us

D

Learning a second language is tricky at any age. Now, in a new study, scientists have worked out the exact age at which your chances of reaching fluency in a second language seem to drop: 10.

The study, published in the journal Cognition, found that it's nearly impossible for language learners to reach native-level fluency if they start learning a second tongue after age 10. But that's not because language skills start to go downhill. "It turns out you're still learning fast, "says study co-author Joshua Hartshorne, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College. "It's just that you run out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18 years old. People who start a few years after age 10 may still become quite good at a language," the authors say, "but they are unlikely to become fluent."

Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Children's brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they're better able to adapt and respond to new information. "All learning involves the brain changing," Hartshorne says, "and children's brains seem to be a lot more skillful at changing. " Kids may also be more willing to try new things and to potentially look foolish in the process than adults are. Their comparatively new grasp on their native tongue may also be advantageous. Unlike adults, who tend to obey the rules and patterns of their first language, kids may be able to approach a new one with a blank page.

These findings might seem discouraging, but it was heartening for scientists to learn that the critical(关键的) period for fluent language acquisition might be longer than previously thought. Some scientists believed that the window began to close shortly after birth, while others extended it to early adolescence. Compared with those estimates (评估), age 17 or 18 — when language-learning ability starts to drop off—may seem relatively old.

22. What is the best period to learn a second language?

A. Before ten.       B. Early adolescence.

C. Age fifteen.       D. Age seventeen or eighteen.

23. When it comes to new things, what does the writer think of kids compared with adults? 

A. They're less skillful.     B. They're less interested.

C. They're more flexible.    D. They're more stubborn.

24. What does the underlined word "window" in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Interest.  B. Chance.   C. Confidence.  D. Motivation.

25. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. It's Never Too late to Learn a Second Language.

B. It Takes Time to Be Good at a Second Language.

C. Do We Really Need to Learn Foreign Languages?

D. Why Kids Learn Languages More Easily than Adults.

How Spies Are Trained

__26__ A navy, army or air-force officer who has a gift for language, and at the same time is thoroughly trained in the technical side of his work may be considered for active employment. A businessman who travels a great deal may be considered for active employment. After his background has been thoroughly investigated, a man living abroad may be useful as a spy.

In Britain potential spies are to get through psychological tests. For instance, a candidate can be taken in front of a high barrier of barbed (装有倒钩的) wire and told to cross it safely. Also, a spy must be unusually courageous. __27__ But a spy risks death alone.

The German system of spy training during World War II was more dramatic. After being, given a thorough medical examination, he was led to a shooting range where a machine-gun suddenly opened fire and to his horror a group of men fell to the ground, apparently dead. __28__

Today a prospective new comer is sent to what might be called a spy school where his training is more extensive. He must master codes and ciphers（密码）and develop an extremely great memory because writing them down will be too dangerous. He must become a skilled radio operator and be able to repair his own equipment and he must be able to drive any make of car. __29__ He must be trained in the art of burglary and be skilled at opening locks.

__30__ So it is just understandable that spy schools are not open to everyone. Above all, still another quality is required, He must be a man of moral soundness. Yet he must be prepared to lower himself to the meanest crime in order to complete his Assignment successfully.

A. A soldier fights supported by his comrades.

B. He must become an expert in unarmed fight.

C. A spy must necessarily be carefully selected.

D. The doctor immediately took his pulse and tested his heart.

E. There are several factors causing someone to become a spy.

F. Spying is at any time a confidential, lonely, dangerous and difficult profession.

G. The spy usually contacts no one else, never learning the names of any other spies.
