Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many free things to do here. The following ideas should get you started.
  All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. And I love the Geffrye Museum which shows English domestic interiors and helps bring to life what it was really like to live in London.
  I regularly hear people tell me the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and Kensington Gardens nearby includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Playground and the Peter Pan Statue.  
   No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.
   Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s. This iconic square has many sights to see including Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. It is both a tourist attraction and the main focus for political demonstrations. Every December, Norway donates a marvelous Christmas tree, to thank Britain for liberation from the Nazis. 
21. Where can visitors find the Peter Pan Statue?
A. in Regent's Park.      B. in St. James's Park.
C. in Hyde Park.         D. in Kensington Gardens.
22. Which of the following desrciptions is True ?
A. In the Geffrye Museum  visitors can learn the history of London from Roman times to today.
B. The Queen Mary's Rose Gardens is in  Buckingham Palace. 
C. There is the Queen's Guard change inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 am every day all year around.
D. Trafalgar Square is both a tourist attraction and a place for political demonstrations.
23. The writer wrote the pasage to ________.
   A .compare some free places in London.     B . advertise some free places in London.
 C. recommend some free places in London.  D. expose some free places in London.
B
BEIJING -  A research team led by Chinese scientists have discovered dietary modulation of gut microbiota（膳食干預腸道菌群）can alleviate both genetic and simple obesity in children.
The findings of the team, led by Zhao Liping with Shanghai Jiaotong University, Yin Aihua with the Guangdong province children's hospital, and Tang Huiru with Chinese Academy of Sciences, have been published on EBioMedicine, a renowned medical journal co-sponsored by Cell and The Lancet in July.
The team identified bacterial genomes specifically for producing obesity-related metabolites（代謝物）, and said an improved gut microbiota can significantly help to treat genetic obesity such as Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS).
Beginning in childhood, PWS affected kids develop an insatiable appetite, leading to chronic overeating and obesity.
The scientists used a diet therapy with beneficial gut bacteria on trial patients and found considerable diminished appetite, weight loss and improved health conditions on the patients.
The paper concluded dysbiosis （失調(diào)）of gut microbiota is highly related with both genetic and simple obesity in children, implicating dietary modulation of gut microbiota a potentially effective treatment method.
24. Which of the following factors contibutes to child obesity ?
A. dietary modulation of gut microbiota   B. beneficial gut bacteria 
C. an improved gut microbiota          D. dysbiosis of gut microbiota
25. Which can replace the underlined word “diminished”？
A. unsatisfied       B. increased        C. decreased     D. good 
26. Where is the passage extracted?
A. Medicine book      B Science book    C . Doctor’s instructions    D News report
27. Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. Chinese scientists discover treatment to child obesity.
B .The reasons for genetic obesity in children has been found.
C. Obesity-related research has been done by Chinese scientists.
D. An effective treatment to obesity has been found.

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫學家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
28. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because     .
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.
B. they believed disease could be spread in public baths 
C. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
29. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A. Approving.    B. Afraid..      C. Curious    D. Uninterested.
30. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples.          B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time.    D. By following the order of importance.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.              B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.  D. To present the change of views on dirt.

Welcome to your future life!
