You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.Basic SecurityDo not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave.

So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friends house. Though I knew I wouldnt tell her about my parents situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on. I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that Id stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.” “What is it?” I asked. “To talk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what were going to do with your mom and dad, and what were going to do with ourselves now that were in the situation we are in.” “But we cant do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was. And thats how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life from how fast things change to how they sometimes dont change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means youll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”25. I wished to get out of the house because _. A. I was eager to have fun with my best friend B. I found nobody to share my feelings with C. I wanted to escape from the dark house D. I planned to tell my friend about my trouble26. Grandpa was happy to see me because _. A. he could discuss the problem with me B. he had not seen me for a long time C. he was afraid of darkness D. he felt quite lonely27. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The grandchild was eager to leave. B. They would have more chats. C. The lights would go out again. D. It would no longer be dark.CIt has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasnt fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (刮痧), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US whos accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandsons disease.During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize in 2015, TCM became even more famous internationally.However, all these achievements in TCM dont mean that its problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.28. The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to .A. introduce the film to readersB. show TCM is increasingly popularC. arouse readers interest in Western medicineD. prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries29. We can learn from the passage that .A. TCM is not exact in curing diseasesB. 10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by localsC. 86 countries have cooperated with China on TCMD. Tu Youyous success contributes to the popularity of TCM 30. According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should .A. combine western medicine B. face no challenge at allC. give an exact description of its effectsD. complete with western medicine31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A report on TCM B. Opinions about TCMC. Traditional healing spreads D. TCM & Western MedicineDWhatever happened to the familiar scene from the past of children playing“tag (捉人游戏)”in the streets while their parents chatted with the neighbors over the garden fence? This picture is fading (逐渐消失) fast today, as children are now leaving the streets in favor of a screen.Several organizations are trying to change this situation. One of these organizations is Play England, which aims to improve opportunities for children to play outside. A leading figure in the campaign is 50-year-old Adrian Voce, who has childhood memories of days spent in the “Big Woods”near his house with his older brothers.“We were given a packed lunch and told not to talk to strangers. I can still remember wandering in and out of each others houses,”he says.However, it is not only the children that Mr Voce and his organization have to convince. In many cases the parents themselves block his efforts. A survey in 2014 found that 85 percent of adults agreed that it was important for children to be able to play safely in the road or street where they live. However, many of them were not prepared to park their cars an extra 50 meters away from their homes.Mr Voces attempts to encourage children to play outside include the organization of campaigns like National Playday. Hundreds of communities all over the country take part in this effort, yet it can take a lot of people to give children a taste of what it is like to play in the streets. On one street in Aldershot last year there were five policemen, three community support officers, a traffic management crew, a closed-circuit television van, and a team of“play workers”.Society today has changed to such an extent that children do not feel safe on the streets and their parents no longer feel comfortable about letting them play there. It is not only the appeal (吸引力) of computers and video games that has driven children inside, but also the presence of traffic, crime, and violent young people. However, thanks to the efforts of people like Adrian Voce, it may not be too late to turn back the clock.32. What kind of feeling does Adrian Voce show when he looks back on his childhood?A. Regret. B. Shame. C. Delight. D. Surprise.33. Why does the author say the parents themselves block Mr. Voces efforts?A. They dont want their children to be outside.B. They are worried about the safety of the streets.C. They are not optimistic about Mr. Voces campaign.D. They wont make the street safer for their children to play in.34. What can we learn about National Playday?A. It has rapidly spread to other countries.B. A lot of people are needed to make it work.C. It has not lived up to the organizers expectations.D. It aims to call on parents to play with their children.35. What is the authors attitude towards children playing in the streets?A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Shocked.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。Time is on your sideHow frequently do you say “I dont have time”? Quite often, I guess. Every time we say those words, they make us feel weak and out of control. You are in control of your hours and your life. _36_I know its not as easy as simply turning off the TV. But here are two steps that will help you take back control and get time on your side. _37_Be honest: do you spend an hour or two visiting Weixin and QQ every day? Are you spending time with people that you dont really like just to please them? Are there meetings you attend that you can politely refuse?Its time to get real about the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing. Think how you can cancel daily activities that are not useful. _38_Change your language.Words matter. They have power. Saying “I dont have time” is an excuse for not wanting to do something. Here are some good, empowering alternatives (选择):“I choose not to start that project until next year.”“_39_”“Id love to go out this weekend but have important work I need to do first.”Get better at saying no. _40_ Use little pockets of time (friend running late, car stuck in traffic, meeting ending 10 minutes early) to do some productive thinking. All these things can add up over time more than you believe!A. Identify your blocks.B. But you are likely wasting a lot of it!C. I really dont have enough time to do it.D.
