Not only is it one of the most famous bridges in the world, it also connects two districts, that is, Southwark and Tower Hamlets. There is also a lot of work in both districts, which is starting to attract an increasing number of young professionals and families.Tower Bridge itself is a tourist attraction and visitors from all over the world come to see the various exhibitions that can be viewed from inside the structure. It must be one of the few bridges in the world which serve two purposes of being a tourist attraction and a connecting structure that allows traffic to pass from one side of the River Thames to the other.Therefore, to get a full view of the area and what it is like to live near Tower Bridge, one must look at both the bridge itself and the two associated(有关联的) districts.Tower Bridge was built in the late 1800s and has become an impressive symbol of London. It is also situated near the Tower of London, which is where it got its name from. The bridge holds many exhibitions (展览品) , which attract both domestic and overseas visitors. On the bridge itself, visitors can learn about how it was constructed. Guests can also take a tour of the bridge and view the displays and videos which provide an entertaining and informative guide to its history.It also contains a lot of artworks(艺术作品) from British artists in addition to the Victorian Engine Rooms, complete with sounds and smells that transport the visitors back in time to the origins of Tower Bridge.The structure of the bridge also offers breathtaking views of the city, and allows guests to walk into the high-level walkways, 42 meters above the Thames. It is also possible to hire rooms at the venue for private functions and parties. While visiting London, dont forget the wonderful bridge.24. What makes Tower Bridge special in the world?A.

Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. Its rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your lucky fortune on the slip of paper inside. The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with thank-you notes in them. These thank-you notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America. There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortunecookies invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L.A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to lift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain in popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day - an evidence for the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited as being too American.So next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.28. What do we know about fortune cookies? A. They are as popular in China as in America. B. They contain slips of paper with good wishes. C. They first appeared in America during WWII. D. They are often charged to the customers bill.29. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A. To make a profit.B. To lift peoples spirits.C. To express gratitude.D. To help people out of hardship30. Which of the following sentences may be found in Jungs cookies?A. The fortune you seek is in another cookie.B. Every exit is an entrance to new experience.C. Im being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.D. Only taste fortune cookies: disregarded all others.31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A symbol of Chinese culture.B. Chinese restaurants in America.C. Can fortune cookies tell your fortune.D. fortune cookies, Chinese or American.DTechnology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV. Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted (植入) in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕套) or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar, to credit cards. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company. In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says, Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities , etc. 32.

The chips have magic powers.B. The chips are very popular among the employees.C. The price of the chips is reasonable.D. Most people suspect the safety of the chips.35. Which of the following best describes Todd Westbys attitude towards the chips?A. Defensive. B. Disappointed. C. Optimistic. D. Casual.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bitand that can be a very annoying thing. 36 Read on for some techniques worth trying.1. 37 People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimers disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 38 Something as simple as setting a goal like having a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.
