Ideally situated among bookstores, you’ll find a collection of tents sheltering second-hand and antique books at the book market on Spui.

Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger 3D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colours and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.
“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.” Cameron captured the moonlike landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’s journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream a reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.
24. When did James Cameron make up his mind to explore the ocean?
A. When he was in his childhood. B. When he began to shoot films.
C. After he achieved great success in Titanic. D. When he began to explore the deep sea alone.
25. What does the unexplored ocean look like?
A. Boring and deserted. B. White and attractive.
C. Colourful and dangerous. D. Small and dull.
26. What is the author’s attitude to James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger 3D?
A. indifferent B. doubtful C. negative D. positive
27. Which is the most suitable title of this passage?
A. A Film Director Exploring Deep Sea
B. James Cameron and His Documentary Film
C. The First Person to Make Films About the Deep Sea
D. The Great Dream of a Film Director
C
British writer John Donne once said: “No man is an island; every book is a world.” As an enthusiastic reader, I can’t agree with the latter part of the sentence more. Every summer, I endeavor to find some peaceful places where I can attack some classics without being disturbed. Thomas Hardy wants to live far from the madding crowd. I am no friend to chaos, either.
I read George Orwell’s 1984 in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms. 1984 is a good book that needs deep reflection. Attempting Sound and Fury lying on the bed of a poorly-occupied motel, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes, but then my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t keep them open.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in J. D. Salinger, say, or Frankenstein. There’s always War and Peace which I’ve covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite—once more into The Call of the Wild or Alice in the Wonderland, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong to serious literature.
And then there’s John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. This title does not amaze but confuse. We’re never short of sour grapes, but we’ve never heard of angry grapes. Anyway grapes are my favorite fruit of summer. These stone fruits can always make me feel cheerful and peaceful all at once.
28. What can be inferred according to Paragraph 2?
A. Both of the reading attempts were not fruitful.
B. Sound and Fury was set in a poorly-occupied motel.
C. 1984 is a book that needs careful thought.
D. The author has a cottage in New England.
29. The author thinks reading his favorite books feels like cheating because _____
A. he gets amazed by their titles. B. he finishes them quickly.
C. he barely understands them. D. he should read something serious.
30. Which of the following statements about the author is correct?
A. He is a literary-minded man. B. He shows talent for literature.
C. Thomas Hardy is his friend. D. He is quite forgetful.
31. What’s the author’s intention in writing the passage?
A. To encourage readers to read books. B. To condemn the chaotic world we live in.
C. To share his reading experience. D. To introduce good books to readers.
D
Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable, easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.
Lead researcher, Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices. The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.
While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips, the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.
Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency. Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.
32. The underlined part “that feature” in Paragraph 1 is ______.
A. durable B. transparent C. sustainable D. cheap
33. Which of the following can correctly show how the transparent wood is made?
①Dip the wood into a polymer. ②Adjust the amount of the polymer.
③Make the wood lignin-free. ④Bake the wood for some time.
A. ③→②→④→① B. ③→①→②→④
C. ①→②→③→④ D. ④→③→②→①
34. Which of the statements is true according to the text?
A. Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.
B. The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.
C. The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.
D. Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.
B. Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.
C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.
D. The bright future of the transparent wood.

As we all know, the spine (脊柱) stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains your spine cord, a massive collection of nerves conveying electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain. 36 .
Maintaining good posture is one of the most important things you can do to keep your spine healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you are asleep. Sleeping on your side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions. 37 . Especially if you work at a desk most of the day, it’s important to get up and stretch regularly.
38 . Stretch can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better arrangement. Strength exercises like push-ups (俯卧撑) can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine. However, don’t overdo the exercise, as repeated movements can strain the muscles around your spine.
Finally, your diet affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, vitamins B and D are essential to keep bones healthy, so you may want to consider taking a supplement. 39 , so it is also helpful to do some of the back exercise outside.
Many of the actions necessary to keep your spine healthy are identical to those used to preserve your health in other ways. 40 .
A. It can be hard on your back to stay still for too long
B. So, to have a healthy spine, you should take the following factors into account
C. Try the following exercises to keep your spine more flexible
D. So protect your back, the rest of the body will benefit
E. Exercise is also an important factor in your spine’s health
F. Doing yoga to protect your spine is also a necessary step
G. However, the latter can also be absorbed from sunlight

Dear sir,
I’m writing to tell you that we are happy to see our new library open. It is so beautiful and good equipped that we all like to spend our spare time here, and some problems have come up.
First of all, there aren’t a plenty of seats in the reading room, so we can’t take notes when read. Next, the library is close at weekends when they have more time to enjoy reading. Beside, we don’t know how to search for the books that we need.
My suggestion is that our library provides more seats and open at weekends. What’s more, computers should be supplied so that we can learn about the new books we borrow.
I would appreciate if you consider my advices and take steps to solve them.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear friends,
I’m Li Hua. I feel greatly honored to be here to introduce to you a traditional Chinese food. As you know, Chinese food enjoys worldwide popularity. Now let me tell you something about “yuanxiao”, which is made of rice powder with sweet fillings, looking like a small white ball.
Yuanxiao or tangyuan can date back to about 2,000 years ago. We Chinese people eat yuanxiao at the Lantern Festival, which is the first day with a full moon of the new year. You see, the round and white ball is just like the full moon. That’s why we associate it with reunion and full luck. Making yuanxiao is really teamwork to create a harmonious family atmosphere. Ways of cooking it vary from place to place. Generally, they are steamed, boiled or fried. Some are served dry with sugar while others in soup.
I hope the information above is of some help for you to know about Chinese culture. If you want to know more details, please contact me at any time. Welcome to go to China for a visit to experience our food and culture for yourself.
Thanks for listening.

The most centrally located of all flea markets in Amsterdam, Waterlooplein Market offers visitors a range of snacks, second-hand clothes and vintage treasures.
There’s a maze of second-hand goods, from old globes and hanging lamps, to African drums, antique rugs and used bikes.
Spui Book Market
Friday 10a.m.-6p.m.
Ideally situated among bookstores, you’ll find a collection of tents sheltering second-hand and antique books at the book market on Spui.
You can find a variety of literature from biographies and poetry to fantasy-fiction, history, psychology and geography. While most books are from the Netherlands, some English and international titles are for sale, as well as antique maps, prints and record.

Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger 3D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colours and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.
“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.” Cameron captured the moonlike landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’s journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream a reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.
24. When did James Cameron make up his mind to explore the ocean?
A. When he was in his childhood. B. When he began to shoot films.
C. After he achieved great success in Titanic. D. When he began to explore the deep sea alone.
25. What does the unexplored ocean look like?
A. Boring and deserted. B. White and attractive.
C. Colourful and dangerous. D. Small and dull.
26. What is the author’s attitude to James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger 3D?
A. indifferent B. doubtful C. negative D. positive
27. Which is the most suitable title of this passage?
A. A Film Director Exploring Deep Sea
B. James Cameron and His Documentary Film
C. The First Person to Make Films About the Deep Sea
D. The Great Dream of a Film Director
C
British writer John Donne once said: “No man is an island; every book is a world.” As an enthusiastic reader, I can’t agree with the latter part of the sentence more. Every summer, I endeavor to find some peaceful places where I can attack some classics without being disturbed. Thomas Hardy wants to live far from the madding crowd. I am no friend to chaos, either.
I read George Orwell’s 1984 in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms. 1984 is a good book that needs deep reflection. Attempting Sound and Fury lying on the bed of a poorly-occupied motel, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes, but then my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t keep them open.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in J. D. Salinger, say, or Frankenstein. There’s always War and Peace which I’ve covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite—once more into The Call of the Wild or Alice in the Wonderland, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong to serious literature.
And then there’s John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. This title does not amaze but confuse. We’re never short of sour grapes, but we’ve never heard of angry grapes. Anyway grapes are my favorite fruit of summer. These stone fruits can always make me feel cheerful and peaceful all at once.
28. What can be inferred according to Paragraph 2?
A. Both of the reading attempts were not fruitful.
B. Sound and Fury was set in a poorly-occupied motel.
C. 1984 is a book that needs careful thought.
D. The author has a cottage in New England.
29. The author thinks reading his favorite books feels like cheating because _____
A. he gets amazed by their titles. B. he finishes them quickly.
C. he barely understands them. D. he should read something serious.
30. Which of the following statements about the author is correct?
A. He is a literary-minded man. B. He shows talent for literature.
C. Thomas Hardy is his friend. D. He is quite forgetful.
31. What’s the author’s intention in writing the passage?
A. To encourage readers to read books. B. To condemn the chaotic world we live in.
C. To share his reading experience. D. To introduce good books to readers.
D
Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable, easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.
Lead researcher, Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices. The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.
While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips, the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.
Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency. Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.
32. The underlined part “that feature” in Paragraph 1 is ______.
A. durable B. transparent C. sustainable D. cheap
33. Which of the following can correctly show how the transparent wood is made?
①Dip the wood into a polymer. ②Adjust the amount of the polymer.
③Make the wood lignin-free. ④Bake the wood for some time.
A. ③→②→④→① B. ③→①→②→④
C. ①→②→③→④ D. ④→③→②→①
34. Which of the statements is true according to the text?
A. Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.
B. The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.
C. The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.
D. Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.
B. Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.
C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.
D. The bright future of the transparent wood.

As we all know, the spine (脊柱) stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains your spine cord, a massive collection of nerves conveying electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain. 36 .
Maintaining good posture is one of the most important things you can do to keep your spine healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you are asleep. Sleeping on your side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions. 37 . Especially if you work at a desk most of the day, it’s important to get up and stretch regularly.
38 . Stretch can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better arrangement. Strength exercises like push-ups (俯卧撑) can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine. However, don’t overdo the exercise, as repeated movements can strain the muscles around your spine.
Finally, your diet affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, vitamins B and D are essential to keep bones healthy, so you may want to consider taking a supplement. 39 , so it is also helpful to do some of the back exercise outside.
Many of the actions necessary to keep your spine healthy are identical to those used to preserve your health in other ways. 40 .

Dear sir,
I’m writing to tell you that we are happy to see our new library open. It is so beautiful and good equipped that we all like to spend our spare time here, and some problems have come up.
First of all, there aren’t a plenty of seats in the reading room, so we can’t take notes when read. Next, the library is close at weekends when they have more time to enjoy reading. Beside, we don’t know how to search for the books that we need.
My suggestion is that our library provides more seats and open at weekends. What’s more, computers should be supplied so that we can learn about the new books we borrow.
I would appreciate if you consider my advices and take steps to solve them.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear friends,
I’m Li Hua. I feel greatly honored to be here to introduce to you a traditional Chinese food. As you know, Chinese food enjoys worldwide popularity. Now let me tell you something about “yuanxiao”, which is made of rice powder with sweet fillings, looking like a small white ball.
Yuanxiao or tangyuan can date back to about 2,000 years ago. We Chinese people eat yuanxiao at the Lantern Festival, which is the first day with a full moon of the new year. You see, the round and white ball is just like the full moon. That’s why we associate it with reunion and full luck. Making yuanxiao is really teamwork to create a harmonious family atmosphere. Ways of cooking it vary from place to place. Generally, they are steamed, boiled or fried. Some are served dry with sugar while others in soup.
I hope the information above is of some help for you to know about Chinese culture. If you want to know more details, please contact me at any time. Welcome to go to China for a visit to experience our food and culture for yourself.
Thanks for listening.
