This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.Its almost necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd price of 4.80 (Zone1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster Card, a single fare is 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.The Bus SystemOutside the center of London, Tube Stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.Cash fares for London buses have been abolished you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs 1.50 if people only use buses, and the fare is capped at 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless card users.Light Rail and TrainsYou can think of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Tramlink as extensions of the Underground, Travelcards purchased at Tube Stations in East London. The DLR connects with a number of the other train services (including connections at Tower Hill or Bank Stations) and can be used to reach Greenwich, Canary Wharf, and Stratford.River ServicesThere are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.National RailOnce you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HS1.1. When taking the London Underground, you _.A. should buy tickets with cashB. can go to any place in London quicklyC. can save more money with a single ticketD. are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days2. If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass _.A. London BridgeB. StratfordC. Canary WharfD. Tower Hill3. To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use _.A. the London UndergroundB. the Bus SystemC. the DLR and the TramlinkD. National Rail【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D【解析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了伦敦几种公共交通工具的相关信息。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据The London Underground (The Tube)部分中的“On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.”可知，在伦敦，大热天乘坐地铁时，你最好随身携带一瓶水，因为地铁内没有空调，故D项正确。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据River Services部分中的“There are a number of different routes along the River Thames.”及“These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge.”可知，泰晤士河沿岸有许多不同的路线，这些路线将经过许多名胜，包括议会大厦和伦敦桥，由此可知，如果你乘坐泰晤士河沿岸的公共交通路线的话，你会经过伦敦桥，故A项正确。【3题详解】根据National Rail部分中的“Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail.”可知，一旦你离开伦敦市中心，或者你在泰晤士河以南旅行，最好的公共交通选择通常是国家铁路，故D项正确。BNowadays, many parents are so busy that they seldom have family meals with their children. But this is wrong.A Harvard study found that families that eat together are twice as likely to eat their five servings of fruits and vegetables a day as families who dont eat together. Families also eat less fried food when they eat together. Finally, children who regularly eat with family have diets higher in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins B6, B12, C and E.During family meals, parents can set a good example of healthy eating that children may follow. They also display polite table manners. Family meals teach children important skills.When a family eats together, kids can learn about nutrition and healthy eating. In many studies of schoolaged children, those who eat family meals have a higher level of nutrition knowledge.When a family eats together, kids learn about food safety, like hand washing before eating.Children who have company at meals are slimmer than those who eat alone. Thats because they eat less, eat more slowly, and talk more. This is a good way to deter obesity in children.Family meals can help children build vocabulary. Studies showed kids who ate with their families performed better at school and had a broader vocabulary. Family meals offer an opportunity for conversations where kids learn vocabularybuilding words to help them read and communicate better.Children gain a better sense of belonging within the family when they eat together with their parents at home. Family meals offer a time for a family to come together as a group and develop a feeling of belonging. That sense of belonging leads to better selfesteem.In conclusion, family meals are very important.4.

The more we come into contact with wild animals the more we risk a so-called disease “spillover” from animals to humans.“As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly,” said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. “Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,” Fair said.Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fairs team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. Its early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.“Were going by the past data to really predict whats going to happen in the future,” Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface, thats sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, thats just increasing as we go forward.”Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia Universitys public health school, argues we dont yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.12. How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair?A. By breaking animals habits.B. By increasing animals varieties.C. By promoting animals breeding.D. By changing animals living environment.13. What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3?A. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.B. Proving the harm of bats to human beings.C. Showing the effects of climate change on disease.D. Presenting scientists early study about the cause of disease.14 What can we infer from Fairs words in paragraph 4?A. Humans should give up studying animals.B. Past data can solve the problems in the fu
