At 65，most people are thinking about getting a senior citizen bus pass.But for Montana woman Ethel MacDonald，who’s now a great-grandmother，that’s when she took up tour cycling.
“I like what I like to do without having to wait for someone else to be ready，”explains the 78-year-old-great-grandmother.The appeal of biking alone on the open road，she says，is“just feeling like I’m my own boss.”
She began tour cycling in 2003，beginning with France’s Atlantic coast.Aside from trips round her native United States，she’s wheeled her way through the Netherlands，Germany，Belgium，Scandinavia and beyond.
Her companion on her Ireland trip is a pink Brompton folding bike，which she’s used on five trips around the us south.She keeps another bike with a friend for her tours of mainland Europe.This seasoned biker reckons she’s traveled at least 10，000 miles.“Usually my trips are close to 1,000 miles in three to four weeks.”MacDonald says.
She uses online travel communities Warm Showers and Couchsurfing to find a place to stay，and hosts guests herself at her home in Missoula，Montana.Warm Showers is exclusively(专门地)for touring cyclists while Couchsurfing is for any travelers wanting to meet new people or open their homes to others.By August 2016，MacDonald estimated that she’d stayed with 165 hosts and hosted around 200 guests of her own.“It saves a pile of money，”she admits.“But far beyond that，the real value is the people you meet，the inspiration you get from each other，the memories，the connections.”
She keeps a scrapbook(剪贴簿)filled with photos and notes from all the people she’s met at home and abroad，and keeps in touch with her friends worldwide through Facebook and email.When traveling，she particularly loves the“big cultural exchange”that comes with spending each night with a new host with a different perspective on the world.
For anyone who wants to follow in her footsteps.her advice is simple.“Just do it.”

A few years ago，Douglas Long was helping to identify some fish caught off the Pacific coast of Central America in 2010.Among the images were those of a mysterious pitch black shark.Interested，he asked the researcher to lend him the preserved specimens(样本)so that his team could study the fish in detail.
When the shark specimens arrived，the researchers immediately suspected that they had came across a new species.To prove，they turned to shark expert Victoria Vasquez for help.On December 21，2015，the team was finally able to prove that their initial guess had been correct.
According to Vasquez，the black sharks belong to the lantern shark family.Though each species has its own unique features，they all share one feature—the ability to glow in the dark.
Though there are over 40 known species of lantern sharks swimming in our oceans，they manage to keep a low profile because of their small size and tendency to stay in deep waters. Vasquez says the new species features tiny photospheres(发光点)that glow throughout its body.The black sharks have other distinguishing 1antern shark features like spines on their fins as well as a different set of teeth on each jaw.
The researchers said that once it was proved that this was a new species they had come up with two names.They settled on a name as an honor to Peter Benchley，the now dead author of the classic book and movie“Jaws.”To come with a more fun common name，Vasquez decided to consult her four young cousins.After some thought，the group that ranged from 8 to 15 suggested the fish be called“Super Ninja Shark.”The researchers named it Ninja! It was the perfect name for the fish whose uniform black skin and fine photospheres make it nearly invisible in the deep dark oceans.
28.Who proved the black shark a new species?
A.Douglas Long. B.The researchers.
C.Victoria Vasquez. D.Peter Benchley.
29.According to the text，black sharks____________.
A.are of large size
B.can glow all over the body
C.tend to stay in shallow waters
D.have a similar set of teeth on each jaw
30.Why did the researchers name the new species Ninja?
A.To honor Peter Benchley.
B.To please the young people.
C.To protect the sea species.
D.To show its invisible feature perfectly.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A new species of lantern sharks.
B.The unique ability of sharks.
C.Mysterious underwater sharks.
D.New names for a black shark.

According to a report by the United Nations，54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas and it predicts that by 2050，this figure will have increased to around 70 percent.But as more and more people migrate from the countryside to the city to get better opportunities，they can end up with nowhere to live.
This is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro，where migrants can’t rent or buy a home，and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land.These are called shanty towns—poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials—and often don’t have any electricity or water supply.
These are，of course，not the megacities(大城市)of the future we want to see.Some serious urban planning is needed to make our cities of the future good，safe and modern places to live in.This involves improving the infrastructure(基础设施)，the housing conditions and also the opportunities for education and employment.
Something urban planners are looking at now is the creation of“smart cities”.According to John Rossant，founder and chairman of the non-profit organization New Cities Foundation，technology is the way forward.He thinks that it's generally accepted that“cloud computing， ubiquitous internet，robust 5G networks etc，will transform our cities.”He says technology is really“a game changer”，in urbanisation.It would collect large amounts of data about how a city is performing and may improve how a city functions.
This may sound like a utopian(乌托邦似的)view.For now，some big cities around the world are trying out more low—tech schemes to try and make them desirable places to live and work in.Building shared—ownership housing and improving public transport are some ways. And encouraging cycling and building bike lanes can keep the population healthy and cut down on smog.What would make your city a better place to live in?
32.What’s the text mainly about?
A.The city of the future. B.The increase of the population.
C.Urban construction. D.The function of smart cities.
33.Why does the author mention Rio de Janeiro in Paragraph 2?
A.To show the growth of the world population.
B.To show the problems in urbanization.
C.To show poor living conditions of the city.
D.To show financial trouble of the city.
34.What plays an important role in the creation of smart cities?
A.Technology. B.Urban planning.
C.The infrastructure of the city. D.Opportunities for education.
35.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.High-tech plans can be easily realized.
B.Public transport is well developed in cities.
C.Shared-ownership houses make no sense.
D.Ways of low-tech are available at present.

Smog is a health concern in many areas，such as China’s capital.Beijing started the New Year with heavy smog hanging over the city.The skies seemed darker than usual，resulting from the thick clouds mixing with smoke and air pollution.Beijing residents were forced to wear protection from the heavy smog when traveling. 36 Masks help keep them from breathing the small pieces of unhealthy particulates floating in the air.But China’s capital is not alone.Heavy smog has forced more than 60 cities to declare health alerts so far this year.
37 The smog has led to delays of airline flights，problems involving shipping and port operations，and school closings in the north and center of the country.In early January，more than 2,000 people were forced to stay on a cruise ship for two days because of smog.
The environmentalists say the smog is coming from coal-burning factories and power stations.Both the large industrial plants and small stoves are responsible for China’s air pollution.Coal-burning power plants in both China and the United States are responsible for about 40 percent of the world’s carbon emissions. 38
In December 2016，the Chinese government released new，five-year targets for cutting its huge coal production. 39 Chinese officials are trying to restrict the use of coal in the very cold，northern parts of the country.Recently，the government announced plans to establish a new police force.Its officers will deal with environmental crimes as part of efforts to clean up the air and punish repeat polluters.The government has invested billions in clean energy.40
A.Many families have bought air cleaners.
B.The smog has resulted in many serious problems.
C.Many people wore a mask to cover their nose and mouth.
D.The plan is to reduce the coal production capacity.
E.One way to solve smog is increasing the regulation of automobiles.
F.The investment will cut back on the need for imported oil and gas，as well as coal.
G.Studies have linked the emissions to rising temperatures in Earth’s atmosphere.

A few years ago，Douglas Long was helping to identify some fish caught off the Pacific coast of Central America in 2010.Among the images were those of a mysterious pitch black shark.Interested，he asked the researcher to lend him the preserved specimens(样本)so that his team could study the fish in detail.
When the shark specimens arrived，the researchers immediately suspected that they had came across a new species.To prove，they turned to shark expert Victoria Vasquez for help.On December 21，2015，the team was finally able to prove that their initial guess had been correct.
According to Vasquez，the black sharks belong to the lantern shark family.Though each species has its own unique features，they all share one feature—the ability to glow in the dark.
Though there are over 40 known species of lantern sharks swimming in our oceans，they manage to keep a low profile because of their small size and tendency to stay in deep waters. Vasquez says the new species features tiny photospheres(发光点)that glow throughout its body.The black sharks have other distinguishing 1antern shark features like spines on their fins as well as a different set of teeth on each jaw.
The researchers said that once it was proved that this was a new species they had come up with two names.They settled on a name as an honor to Peter Benchley，the now dead author of the classic book and movie“Jaws.”To come with a more fun common name，Vasquez decided to consult her four young cousins.After some thought，the group that ranged from 8 to 15 suggested the fish be called“Super Ninja Shark.”The researchers named it Ninja! It was the perfect name for the fish whose uniform black skin and fine photospheres make it nearly invisible in the deep dark oceans.

According to a report by the United Nations，54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas and it predicts that by 2050，this figure will have increased to around 70 percent.But as more and more people migrate from the countryside to the city to get better opportunities，they can end up with nowhere to live.
This is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro，where migrants can’t rent or buy a home，and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land.These are called shanty towns—poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials—and often don’t have any electricity or water supply.
These are，of course，not the megacities(大城市)of the future we want to see.Some serious urban planning is needed to make our cities of the future good，safe and modern places to live in.This involves improving the infrastructure(基础设施)，the housing conditions and also the opportunities for education and employment.
Something urban planners are looking at now is the creation of“smart cities”.According to John Rossant，founder and chairman of the non-profit organization New Cities Foundation，technology is the way forward.He thinks that it's generally accepted that“cloud computing， ubiquitous internet，robust 5G networks etc，will transform our cities.”He says technology is really“a game changer”，in urbanisation.It would collect large amounts of data about how a city is performing and may improve how a city functions.
This may sound like a utopian(乌托邦似的)view.For now，some big cities around the world are trying out more low—tech schemes to try and make them desirable places to live and work in.Building shared—ownership housing and improving public transport are some ways. And encouraging cycling and building bike lanes can keep the population healthy and cut down on smog.What would make your city a better place to live in?
32.What’s the text mainly about?
A.The city of the future. B.The increase of the population.
C.Urban construction. D.The function of smart cities.
33.Why does the author mention Rio de Janeiro in Paragraph 2?
A.To show the growth of the world population.
B.To show the problems in urbanization.
C.To show poor living conditions of the city.
D.To show financial trouble of the city.
34.What plays an important role in the creation of smart cities?
A.Technology. B.Urban planning.
C.The infrastructure of the city. D.Opportunities for education.
35.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.High-tech plans can be easily realized.
B.Public transport is well developed in cities.
C.Shared-ownership houses make no sense.
D.Ways of low-tech are available at present.

Smog is a health concern in many areas，such as China’s capital.Beijing started the New Year with heavy smog hanging over the city.The skies seemed darker than usual，resulting from the thick clouds mixing with smoke and air pollution.Beijing residents were forced to wear protection from the heavy smog when traveling. 36 Masks help keep them from breathing the small pieces of unhealthy particulates floating in the air.But China’s capital is not alone.Heavy smog has forced more than 60 cities to declare health alerts so far this year.
37 The smog has led to delays of airline flights，problems involving shipping and port operations，and school closings in the north and center of the country.In early January，more than 2,000 people were forced to stay on a cruise ship for two days because of smog.
The environmentalists say the smog is coming from coal-burning factories and power stations.Both the large industrial plants and small stoves are responsible for China’s air pollution.Coal-burning power plants in both China and the United States are responsible for about 40 percent of the world’s carbon emissions. 38
In December 2016，the Chinese government released new，five-year targets for cutting its huge coal production. 39 Chinese officials are trying to restrict the use of coal in the very cold，northern parts of the country.Recently，the government announced plans to establish a new police force.Its officers will deal with environmental crimes as part of efforts to clean up the air and punish repeat polluters.The government has invested billions in clean energy.40
A.Many families have bought air cleaners.
B.The smog has resulted in many serious problems.
C.Many people wore a mask to cover their nose and mouth.
D.The plan is to reduce the coal production capacity.
E.One way to solve smog is increasing the regulation of automobiles.
F.The investment will cut back on the need for imported oil and gas，as well as coal.
G.Studies have linked the emissions to rising temperatures in Earth’s atmosphere.
