A passenger has been fined almost $ 550 after he was caught without a train ticket-that would have cost just $ 2．80．
    Nicky Haywood, from Nottingham, was found guilty of travelling on an East Midlands train from Nottingham to Newstead without a ticket．
    The 27-year-old, who did not appear for his hearing at Nottingham Magistrates' Court (地方法庭), is now being made to pay the price-which is almost 200 times the original price-for the 20-minute journey．
    According to the Nottingham Post, Magistrates have ordered Haywood to pay a $ 220 fine, $ 302 in costs, a $22 government surcharge (追加费用) and the $2．80 fare．
    Senior conductor, Yvonne Clay was working on the day of the incident, according to the Nottingham Post．
    The newspaper reported that she said Haywood had got on the train without a ticket, though he had the chance to buy one from both vending machines and booking offices on the platform．
    She said: "He offered a Solo Electron card but we could not take that on the train．I informed him with a notice to pay．He gave his name and address and had 21 days to pay the fare．"
    Even though he was given three weeks to pay the $ 2．80, a payment from Haywood was not received．

I was given the book Running on Faith written by Jason Lester as a birthday gift last month．After I started reading, I really couldn't keep my eyes off it．It is always inspiring to read a story of someone who has gone through obstacles to reach his goals．
    Jason Lester is a disabled extreme athlete．When he was twelve years old, a fast car ran a red light and hit him．Then he was sent into the hospital with twenty broken bones and a seriously injured arm．Jason had always wanted to become a famous baseball player, but at that time that dream was gone．
    However, Jason loved sports and he still wanted to be a good athlete．He began running and taking part in duathlons(铁人两项比赛) in high school．Years later in 2004, he decided to start training for the Ironman, and has competed in many extreme races since then．In 2008, Jason became the first disabled athlete to complete the Ultraman (320 miles of biking, swimming and running), and it led him to an ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete with a Disability in 2009．
    If you are in a bad situation and don't know what to do now, Running on Faith is a good book for you．If you love running and want to reach some race goals, this book is good for you, too．Anyway, this book is worth reading for everyone who loves reading and wants to turn dreams into reality．
4．What does the underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 1 mean?

C．To recommend reading Running on Faith．D．To explore the way to be a good athlete．
C
Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气)．So the city began a project to improve the situation．
    Under the Velib project ("Velib" comes from vélo liberté, or "bicycle freedom"), people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station．The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay．But it's only $ 1 a day or $ 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets．There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations．So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
    Paris is not the first city to have a project like this．But not everybody thinks it's a great idea．One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys．If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle-they'll still use their cars．"
    A city spokesman said, "The bicycle project won't solve all our traffic problems, of course．But it might help reduce air pollution．Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem．There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities．But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems of our environment will get worse．The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too．"
8．What can we learn about the Velib project?
A．Its bikes have no baskets．
B．Its bikes are light and colourful．
C．It aims to make travelling easier．
D．It owns more stations than the subway．
9．If you use a Velib for half an hour, you should pay ________．
A．nothing
B．$ 1
C．$ 29
D．$ 30
10．Why do some people disagree with the Velib project?
A．The cost is rather high．
B．It's hard to find a Velib station．
C．It's not suitable for a long journey．
D．The distance between two Velib stations is long．
11．What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle project?
A．Worried．
B．Positive．
C．Uncaring．
D．Doubtful．
D
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10, 000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them．
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．
At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．
Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival．
12．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A．They developed very fast． B．They were large in number．
C．They had similar patterns D．They were closely connected．
13．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in Paragraph 2?
A．Complex B．Advanced． C．Powerful D．Modern．
14．How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?
A．About 6,800 B．About 3,400 C．About 2,400 D．About 1,200
15．What is the main idea of the text?
A．New languages will be created．
B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．
C．Human development results in fewer languages．
D．Geography determines language evolution．

The yellow light flashed on my dashboard(仪表盘), showing the words: Maintenance Required．"I don't have time for this," I thought as I sped along the freeway．"I've got two jobs, and a family to take care of, dogs to feed and exercise to get in．When can I squeeze in a four-hour window without the use of my car?"
In fact, for days I drove with the light flashing．I felt exhausted, juggling(尽量兼顾) a new job that had me driving all over the city, eating in my car and carrying piles of files with me．I was drowning in my "to-do" and this "Maintenance Required" was putting me over the top．
The light now had my full attention．It was obvious that I was going to have to change my entire day．As a contract therapist(治疗师), I was only paid for the patients I saw, so canceling my appointments was going to cost me a lot, but so would ignoring the light．As I reached for my cell phone to call the office, it rang from the depth of my pocket．My patient called to cancel his appointment．
Therefore, I made it to the dealer's in time to drop off my car．I had four hours to kill．I thought about waiting at the dealer's, but that seemed like punishment．My car needed maintenance and so did my soul．I found out that the dealer offered a bus ride that could drop me at a mall．Although I had no love for shopping, I knew that the beach was about a mile from the mall．I had my sneakers, my iPod and my phone, so I set off on my adventure．
I discovered that everything, including waiting and distance, seemed shorter and closer when I mentally used the word "only"．It would only be four hours and I would have my car again．
I plugged in my iPod and began to enjoy relaxing music from my yoga class．

36考查形容词。句意：这是一个发生在贵州省黔西南布依族米索自治州龙场镇龙河村的医生钟静和村民之间的感人故事。分析句子可知，设空处在句中作定语，修饰后面的名词story，此处应填形容词。根据句意可知，此处表示"令人感动的故事"，应用形容词moving。故填moving。
37考查冠词。句意：如果村民有严重的健康问题必须去看医生，他们别无选择，只能去镇上的医院，步行需要4个多小时。此处表示"看医生、就诊"为固定短语see a doctor。故填a。
38考查名词。句意：如果村民有严重的健康问题必须去看医生，他们别无选择，只能去镇上的医院，步行需要4个多小时。设空处在句中作宾语，位于形容词no后，应用名词；choose的名词形式为choice，表示"选择"。have no choice but to do sth．"别无选择只能做某事"。故填choice。
39考查名词所有格。句意：如果村民有严重的健康问题必须去看医生，他们别无选择，只能去镇上的医院，步行需要4个多小时。根据句意可知，此处表示"步行四小时"，其结构可用"数词+复数名词的所有格+被修饰名词"或"数词+连字符+单数名词+被修饰名词"，即four hours' walk或four-hour walk。结合句中结构可知，句中没有连字符，此处应填名词所有格形式。故填hours'。

43考查形容词比较级。句意：在钟静的指导下，当地村民的健康意识比以前更强了。根据后面的than before可知，此处是在把现在与过去作对比，应用形容词的比较级。故填stronger。
44考查定语从句。句意：近年来，来这家诊所看病的病人越来越少。分析句子可知，设空处在句中引导一个从句，修饰前面的名词patients，这是一个定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词表示人，应用who或that引导。故填who或that。
45考查被动语态结构。句意：能帮到他们和获得他们的信任感觉很好。分析句子可知，此处表示"被他们信任"，由介词by引出动作的发出者。故填by。

I plugged in my iPod and began to enjoy relaxing music from my yoga class．Then I listened to self-help and motivational music that I had heard before, but suddenly heard in a new way．As I walked．I dug my toes into the soft wet sand．I breathed in the salty fresh ocean air．I felt the warmth of the sun and the gentle touch of the wind．I was feeling so renewed and peaceful that I almost felt guilty．What a brilliant idea those carmakers had．I thought．Maintenance Required! If only we came with such a light．
My phone rang．It was the dealer letting me know my car was ready an hour early．"So soon?" I asked．"Will it be OK if I come in a couple of hours? I am still working on a little maintenance of my own．" Hearing "Of course" on the phone, I said goodbye．Lost in natural beauty on the beach, I felt more and more refreshed．I suddenly realized the importance of taking care of ourselves．
