Introduction

A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.

Basic Security

Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座).

Locks

Marking

Security marking your bike can act as a deterrent(威慑) to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.

Registration

There are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.

Finally

Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it, this will prove the bicycle belongs to you.

when you leave it?

One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes(蚊子) in the town and told him that he’d better not go there.

After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station.

He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waite rs felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.

The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.

Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies,

“Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spri ng Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year?s Eve.

“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous.

In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird?s N est” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.

A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, …Shanzhai? culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.

To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.

67. The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ________.

A. Spring Festival Gala

B. fake cell-phone

C. electronic products

D. Olympic buildings

68. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ________.

A. the action that a person imitates (模仿) famous people

B. products with poor techniques and quality

C. those similar names to famous brands (品牌)

D. anything that imitates something famous

69. We can infer that the mainstream culture ________.

A. is held back by “Shanzhai” cul ture

B. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

C. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

D. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture

70. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. “Shanzhai” culture takes on life of its own

B. “Shanzhai” culture will definitely (注定地) disappear

C. “Shanzhai” culture — the mainstream culture

D. “Shanzhai” culture — the mountain village culture

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。

Being on bad terms（关系） with your neighbors can make your life frustrating (令人不快的) day after day. But taking the time to establish a good relationship with your neighbors has a good many benefits. The community will be friendlier, the neighborhood (邻里关系) safer, and the area a nicer place to live in. There are some suggestions to develop a good relationship with your neighbors.

Whether you’re new in the neighborhood or new residents who have just moved into your block, introduce yourself. Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area.

Sometimes, you can remedy(补救) problems before they even start; for example, if you do a lot of yard work, let them know in advance and mention that if it’s getting too loud, they shouldn’t hesitate to le t you know.

Be aware of the shared walls, if you and your neighbors share adjacent (相邻的) living spaces and try to put noisy household appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers away from the shared walls.

Keep your pet dog on a leash (皮带) if it has a habit of running rampant(猖狂的) on your neighbors’ lawns (草坪) ,especially if they have a pet cat or a pet dog of their own, and ensure to clean up after it.

When you park your vehicle, be sure not to block anyone’s access. Don’t slam(砰地关上) your car doors late at night.

Weed your garden regularly, because the presence of weeds in your yard is not only unsightly but can also spread to your neighbor’s yard.

Really good neighbors watch out for each other. They offer to help, especially on matters that have an effect on the larger neighborhood and look for opportunities to communicate. Great neighbors lead to great neighborhoods.

书面表达

Online shopping has been gaining popularity in the recent years. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of it?

Obviously, online shopping has a number of advantages. To begin with, it’s a convenient way to purchase goods. People can buy things without going out. Moreover, goods online are usually sold at lower prices than in conventional stores. Last but not least, you can see other customers’ comments, which can help you make choices. Nevertheless, as every coin has two sides, shopping online also has disadvantages. For one thing, it is very hard to tell whether the goods are fake or not. For another, customers lose some pleasure of shopping because they can’t try or check the goods before buying them. Additionally, it’s not safe to pay online. Your password s can be stolen.

As for me, the advantages of online shopping outweigh its disadvantages. We should learn to make the best use of it and prevent losses.
