Want
to fit the best of London in your two-week
vacation? Here is a list of the best places you
must visit
in London. Without visiting
these, a trip to this city is no more than just
incomplete.
Buckingham Palace
Perhaps the most famous palace in the
world, Buckingham Palace is the official
London residence of the British monarch
(
君主
). State rooms are open
to visitors only during the Palace's
Summer Opening, which takes place in
most of August and September. However, if you are
heading to the
palace at a different
time, you can witness
April to July,
and on alternate days from August to March.
British Museum
This museum
showcases works from the birth of human
civilization to the modern age,
and has
contributions from all continents of the world.
The main attractions include the much-debated
Parthenon Marbles (Elgin Marbles),
Mummy of Cleopatra from Thebes, and the Rosetta
Stone. Entry to the
museum is free.
London Eye
The 32 capsules
on the London Eye carry many visitors every day.
Due to its 360 rotation
ability, you
can almost see the entire city of London, when you
reach the top. Until the Shard's
privately-
operated deck opened in 2013,
the London Eye was the tallest public viewing
point.
London Zoo
The
world's oldest scientific zoo, the London Zoo
consists of many different types of
animals. This is also one of the best
places for children, as you can book a VIP
encounter with the animals for
them.
And what's more? You can also stay overnight at
the zoo in Lookout Lodge.
1.
When should you go if you want to visit
a state room in the Buckingham Palace?
A.
In April.
C.
In July.
B.
In September.

Which of the following is NOT included
in the British Museum?

Royal
Ceremonial Dress Collection.

Which statement will the
author disapprove of?

B
I'm not much
of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers-but
I don't have a good track record when it
comes to making them grow.
A
few months after our son left for the Middle East,
my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs
(
郁金香球
茎
). She
explained that these bulbs were put into the
ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter.
They had
all the nutrients they needed
inside the bulb and would come out in the spring.
''When you see the leaves of
the tiny
flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that
it's almost time for your son to come home.
They'll
give you what you need most.''
She walked me through the process of planting
them. I thanked her
—
trying
to show my gratitude for her gift.
It was a long winter
—
cold and dark. I endured
both the weather and the loneliness and fear I
felt with
my son away. Dead leaves,
frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area
where I'd planted those flowers,
and I
soon forgot they were there.
Finally
the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked
down my front steps, I noticed an area of green.
I bent down to inspect the situation
more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun
to grow, their tiny leaves
forcing
their way to the sun.
Day after day I
noted the flowers' progress. And day after day,
the time approached when my son would
finally be home. Now with spring just
around the corner, nothing could keep either of us
from marching
toward the light. Almost
all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly
colored flower, I marked off one
day
closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again.

Every time a
new year is coming, people set out to better
themselves. They promise they will lose weight,
find a new job, or maybe even take that
vacation they’ve always talked about. But why do
we make these
promises to ourselves,
and where did this tradition come from? Why does
this tradition live on when so many
people fail to keep the
resolutions(
决定
) they made?
Well, we can start by blaming the ancient
Babylonians.
Around 4,000 years ago in
Babylon, the earliest recorded celebration
honoring the coming of a new year
was
held. Calendars weren’
t as they are
today, so the Babylonians did it in late March
during the first new
moon after the
Spring Equinox(
春分
). The
festivities were meant for the rebirth of the sun
god, but the
Babylonians made promises
in order to please their gods. They felt this
would help them start the new year off
well.
Resolutions continued
on with the Romans. When the early Roman calendar
no longer synced(
同步
) up
with the sun, Julius Caesar decided to
make a change. He consulted with the best
astronomers and
mathematicians of the
time and introduced the Julian calendar, which
more closely represents the modern
calendar we use today. Caesar declared
January 1 the first day of the year to honor the
god of new beginnings,
Janus. The
Romans celebrated the New Year by offering
sacrifices to Janus.
To this day, the
traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans
continue around the world. So much
that Google launched a Resolution Map
in 2013 where people could add resolutions and see
others adding
5
theirs in real time. However, no
ma
tter how many people participated in
Google’s project, the numbers are
bleak when it comes to the number of
people who maintain their resolutions----only
eight percent of people
are successful
in sticking them out.
8.
Why
did the ancient Babylonians make promises to their
gods?
A.
To honor the god of
new beginnings.
B.
To
observe the rebirth of the sun god and please him.
C.
To honor the coming of a
new year and satisfy their gods.
D.
To please their gods and hope for a
good start of the year.
9.
What can w
e know about the
tradition of the New Year’s
resolutions?
A.
The tradition of making New Year’s
resolutions will soon die.
B.
A lot of people don’t
feel like making New Year’s
resolutions.
C.
Julius Caesar made January 1 the first
day of a year on his own.
D.
The history of making New Year’s
resolutions is not well known.
10.
What does the underlined
word “bleak” in the last paragraph
mean?
A.
Large.
C.
Encouraging.
B.
Unpleasant.
D.
Hopeful.
11.
Which of the following can be the best
title for the text?
A.
How
Making New Year’s Resolutions Came Into
Being?
B.
The
Ancient Babylonians and the Romans
C.
The Change of Roman Calendars
D.
How People Better
Themselves

Imagine your clothing
could release enough heat to keep you warm and
cozy, allowing you to stay
comfortable
in a cooler room. Or, picture a car windshield
that stores the sun's energy and then releases it
as
heat to make the ice on the
windshield disappear.
According to a
team of researchers at MIT, both cases may be
possible before long, thanks to a new
material that can store solar energy
during the day and release it later as heat. This
transparent polymer film
could be
applied to many different surfaces, such as window
glass or clothing.
Solar energy is only
available about half the time we need it
—
during daylight. For the
sun to become a
major power provider
for human needs, there has to be an efficient way
to save it up for use during nighttime
and stormy days. Most such efforts have
focused on storing and recovering solar energy in
the form of
7
electricity, but the new finding, by
MlI professor Jeffrey Grossman, Postdoc David
Zhitomirsky and graduate
student Eugene
Cho, could provide a highly efficient method for
storing the sun's energy through a chemical
reaction and releasing it later as
heat.
The key to enabling long-term,
stable storage of solar heat, the team said, is to
store it in the form of a
chemical
change rather than storing the heat itself. But
heat will disappear over time no matter how good
the
material around it is, so the team
set up a chemical storage system that can keep the
energy in a stable
molecular
configuration. When exposed to sunlight, the
molecules can stay that way for long periods Then,
when triggered
(
触发
)
by a very
specific temperature or something else, the
molecules return to their original
shape , giving off heat in the process.
Such chemically-based storage
materials, known as Solar Thermal Fuels(STF), have
been developed
before. But those
earlier efforts were designed to be used in liquid
solutions and not able to make durable
(
耐
用的
) solid-state
films. The new approach is the first based on a
solid-state material, in this case a polymer,
and the first based on inexpensive
materials and widespread production technology.
