There are also plenty of places for bicycle parking and most streets in the citycentre have abicyclepath.Because_3_itsconvenienceforbicycles,Amsterdam has become very popular with cycli
29、stsan amazing 38% of all trips_4_(make) by bike. Some people even call Amsterdam“ the City ofBicycles”.BWhere did the idea of “white bikes” come from? In the 1960s, a group ofcycling fans _5_(come) up with an idea. They believed that it would bebetter for everybody if cars werent allowed in the city
30、 centre and only bicycleswere. They were_6_( hope) that this would help to save energy, reduce_7_(pollute) and provide free public transport. The group painted hundredsof bicycles white and placed them in many areas around Amsterdam for people touse. Anyone was allowed to take them and use them for
31、short journeys.CPeople would leave the bike in the place _8_ they finished their journey,so that someone else could then take it and use it from there. Soon after,_9_, problems came up and the “white bikes” all disappearedthievesstole them all in a matter of weeks! In 1999, the “ white bikes”returne
32、d toAmsterdamthis time with a computer tracking system _10_(record) theirevery move!Passage8第 8 页 共 14 页A_1_(take) a bicycle, you had to put in a special card. The new “whitebikes” were not _2_(actual) white but painted in bright colours. The bikeswere parked at special parking places. Thus people _
33、3_ wanted to use themhad to take them to another special parking place near their destination and leavethem there.BThanks _4_ the ideas and efforts of many people, like the cycling fansof the 1960s and those who enabled the return of“white bikes” , you can now enjoyclean air and easy transport in ce
34、ntral Amsterdam. Nowadays, the idea of “whitebikes ”_5_ (pedal) its way around the world and there has been a_6_(globe)increase in bike-sharing.CIn China, more and more cities have their own “white bike” programmes.Both the locals and tourists like to use shared bikes because bike-sharing is a cheap
35、and easy way _7_(save) energy, reduce air and noise pollution, and enjoythe benefits of exercise in cities.

36、You decide.第 9 页 共 14 页Passage9AMost people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic”that meansit learns all by _1_(it) But this isnt always true. We need to train ourselves tobe better learnersto _2_(active) take part in the learning process and toreflect _3_what we have learnt. These kinds
37、 of learning behaviours are called“active learning”. I suggest _4_(do) five things to take an active role in yourlearning.BThere are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. Your innervoice expresses your _5_(person) opinions, while the outer voice tells youabout opinions from _6_ y
38、ou hear or read. Although your inner voice can beuseful, it can also get in the way of learning. If you keep _7_(pay) too muchattention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners areopen-minded and focus _8_ what the speaker/writer is saying, not on whattheir brain is sa
39、ying in the background. In this way, they are in a better position tomake decisions.CIf you find your inner voice difficult _9_( control), you can argue with it asmost active learners do. When your inner voice tells you a speaker / writer is wrong,thinkaboutwhythespeaker/writermayberight.Beflexiblei
40、nyour_10_(opinion) and you might end up agreeing with the speaker/writer afterall. If not, at least you have “listened to” another point of view.Passage10Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get第 10 页 共 14 页information _1_ someone, from books or the Internet, ask
41、two, three, evenfive questions about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, andthe very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of_2_(understand) about the topic. In short: Do not stop _3_(be)curious.BActive learners do not accept everything they learn
42、. They attempt_4_(find)thetruthattheheartofeachidea.Evenwhenanideasounds_5_(entire) unlikely, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. So ifsomeone says that dinosaurs still exist today, think about _6_ they believethis. Where does the idea come from? Do they have enough data to support
43、theirviews? If you try to find out the source of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you_7_( increase) your chance of learning something.CMany people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelingsget in the way. They refuse to learn or ignore what is said because of who thespe
44、aker/writer is. It is true _8_ we cannot help disliking some peoplethis ishuman nature, after all. But do not forget you can still learn from them. Activelearners do not judge people based _9_ first impressions or personal feelings.Instead, they separate the message from the messenger. This goes the
45、 other way aswelldo not just assume that some people are always right because of who theyare _10_ just because they are your friends.Passage11A第 11 页 共 14 页We remember things_1_have strong connections in our mind, especiallyemotional connections. Childhood memories are often very emotional. This isb
46、ecause when we experience things for the first time, we often have strong feelingsof fear or_2_ (excite). Also, interesting or funny stories from our childhoodareoftentoldagainandagain.Asaresult,werememberthemmuch_3_(good), as retelling events helps fix experiences in our memories.BA person _4_ a ph
47、otographic memory could remember every detail of apicture, a book or an event many years later, but no one has proved that there arepeople _5_ really have photographic memories. Yet, there are some peoplewho do have amazing memories. For example, Daniel Tammet can remember thefirst 22,514 digits of
48、pi () and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of acity from memory after _6_(fly) over it in a helicopter. They are both good atremembering particular things for a _7_(limit)time.CDon tworry.Thisisnaturalformanypeople.In1885,HermannEbbinghaus_8_ (publish) a book called Memory and presented
49、 a famousforgetting curve. According to him, the sharpest _9_(lose) of memory occursduring the very early period after learning. This means timely review during thisperiod, with a few revisits to _10_ is learnt, can significantly help us toremember the information.Passage12ADefinitely not. Our memor
50、y _1_(reach) its full power at the age of 25.At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second. After第 12 页 共 14 页this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40, we lose 10,000brain cells every day. By middle age, our memory is significantly_2_(bad)than when we were young.
