There is more than one side to every story. Imagine that you could hear the voices of Birmingham in May 1963. This is what they might have said.
Lucille Lyons
My heart is fluttering (怦怦跳) in my chest. All around me kids talk nervously. Before we Marched right into the area with the whites-only stores, I talked to one of my classmates.
"You skipping school today, too?" he asked.
I nodded yes.
We see firemen standing there with hoses (水管), aimed right at us. Suddenly, water explodes from the nozzles (喷嘴). Some kids fall down. The firemen turn up their hoses even higher. Water beats my back and shoulders. I'll be hurt and in big trouble when I get home, but I know I'm doing the right thing.
Johnny Lee Baker
There's a crowd gathering at the church. A lot of them are kids, but they still need to be kept under control. My job is to use whatever force to keep the peace.
The crowd is beginning to march, straight toward the white shopping area.
"Stop!" I yell, "and no one will get hurt."
They don't stop. Then I see Commissioner Connor signal to the firemen.
The firemen turn their hoses on the crowd and start to spray.
Bill Keys
I'm watching history being made. As I take pictures of the black children gathered for their march, I see firemen cross the street toward them. Connor is there yelling commands. The firemen spray the kids with water. I can't believe my eyes, seeing such violence against children. I take a picture of them. This picture will make the world pay attention to what is happening here.
21. Why did some students skip school?

From Snapchatting to sending emails, it seems like we are always on our phones. And while your parents' or grandparents' generations may disapprove of your smartphone "addiction", there are some positive aspects of using the Internet. One of them is online friendships. With the popularity of technology among teens, it's understandable that more and more often people are connecting online. It's easy to find girls (or guys) with similar interests as you. Some people feel embarrassed to admit that they have very real online friendships. But it's not something to be ashamed of and a friendship should not be discounted because it was formed online.
When chatting face-to-face, you might be afraid of being judged by the other person. Communicating online can sometimes help take away that fear. For people with anxiety or who are very shy, this provides a safe way for them to have open discussions with others. If they don't feel safe, or feel embarrassed, they can easily log off or block the person they were speaking with. Another great thing about online friendships is that it connects us with people and cultures that we may not have otherwise come in contact (联系) with. You can be sitting on your computer chair in Baltimore but the person you're speaking to could be in London. That is seriously cool when you stop and think about it!
However, that isn't to say there aren't dangers to online friendships. The fact is that there are bad people online just as there are in real life. You should never give out your full name or address to a person. And be aware — some people may come off as completely harmless, but if you have a strange feeling about them, trust your gut (感觉). Most of all, do not meet someone from online alone. There are countless heartbreaking stories to be told of people who have done this, and ended up hurt or even worse.
25. What's the author's attitude toward online friendships?
A. Ambiguous.
B. Uninterested.
C. Disapproving.
D. Supportive.
26. What's the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. How to chat online safely.
B. The advantages of online friendships.
C. What to chat about with online friends.
D. The disadvantages of chatting face-to-face.
27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To discuss the Internet's influence on friendships.
B. To express his opinion on online friendships.
C. To show the necessity of online friendships.
D. To stress the importance of friendships.

On September 10, Lincoln Center hosted a unique class of star musicians: Kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert in New York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were selected from all over the world, including conflict areas.
Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey introduced the orchestra and spoke about the concert's theme. "Tonight we will see and hear evidence that while countries may go to war it is culture that unites us," Spacey said.
The WPO is a nonprofit group which brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition (面试) online for judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.
Some of the young musicians play classical instruments, such as violins. Others play instruments unique to their home country. For example, Arnold Mugo, 16, from Kenya, plays an instrument called the djembé. "I can't express how I felt when I learned I had been selected for the orchestra. I was rolling on the floor," Mugo says. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. "I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more," Mugo says.
WPO spokesperson Scott Noppe-Brandon says the goal is for students to use the lessons learned from the orchestra to encourage other young people. "Regardless of what country you're from, regardless of your age, race, or background," he says, "music plays a role in all our lives."
28. Why are these musicians special?
A. They are very young.
B. They are Oscar-award winners.
C. They come from areas of conflict.
D. They will make a concert tour in the USA.
29. What should you do if you want to join the WPO?
① Give a performance online.
② Be good at a unique instrument.
③ Submit a recommendation from your teacher.
④ Learn from professional musicians and teachers.
⑤ Have an experience of working with star players.
A. ①③
B. ②⑤
C. ①⑤
D. ③④
30. How did Mugo feel when he was selected?
A. Excited.
B. Surprised.
C. Confident.
D. Puzzled.
31. What's the purpose of the WPO?
A. To pick out young talents.
B. To unite people together with music.
C. To inspire young kids to learn music.
D. To bring traditional folk music to audiences.

A city in Denmark is about to become the first in the world to provide most of its citizens with fresh water using only the energy created from household wastewater.
The Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plant in Aarhus has undergone improvements that mean it can now generate more than 150 percent of the electricity needed to run the plant, which means the surplus can be used to pump drinking water around the city.
As well as regularly powering the entire water system of 200,000 people living in the inner city area, any unwanted electricity could be sold into the local grid (电网).
The plant generates energy from the biogas (生物气) it creates out of household wastewater. Carbon is removed from the wastewater and pumped into digesters kept at 38°C filled with bacteria. These produce biogas — mostly methane — that is then burned to make heat and electricity.
Upgrading the facilities in Marselisborg required nearly €3 million, but Aarhus Water expects that to be recovered in just five years.
Other cities in Denmark, including Copenhagen, have been trying to copy the example of Aarhus.
When talking about copying Denmark's experience, Molly Walton, energy analyst at International Energy Agency, says, scientists and engineers have a long way to go to improve energy efficiency, and it requires a big investment (投资) that could considerably increase the price of the water.
Moreover, to work, the wastewater plant needs to be big enough to generate enough biogas, and even the wastewater has to be the right mix — if it's diluted (稀释) by much storm or groundwater it will be almost impossible to recover energy, Walton says.
With rising global temperatures, more energy will be needed to provide fresh water from other sources such as seawater. The city's action may not solve the problems, but it is a big step in the right direction.
32. What does the underlined part "the surplus" refer to?
A. The electricity needed to run the plant.
B. The electricity that is more than needed.
C. The amount of electricity used by citizens.
D. The extra electricity used to treat wastewater.
33. How does the plant produce biogas?
A. It uses the reactions between carbon and bacteria.
B. It allows bacteria to produce biogas out of methane.
C. It uses electricity to remove biogas from wastewater.
D. It produces biogas by mixing wastewater with methane.
34. What does Walton think of the plant's new technology?
A. It is difficult to apply in practice.
B. It achieves high energy efficiency.
C. It can make good use of storm water.
D. It lowers the costs of water treatment.
35. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Why does the water service need more energy?
B. Should cities copy the example of Aarhus?
C. How Aarhus turns wastewater into energy
B. How wastewater treatment plants work

Cycling cuts cancer risk
In a recent study, scientists have found that cycling to work is one of the best activities to reduce the risk of getting cancer and heart disease. 36 !
The biggest study into the issue linked using two wheels with a halving of the risk of cancer and heart disease. The five-year study also showed walking had some benefits over sitting on public transport or taking the car.
37 . Some forward-thinking authorities have built cycle paths and provided secure places to lock them up. Some companies also provide facilities (设施) for their employees to get changed and cleaned up when they arrive at work. 38 — according to people surveyed in this study, regular cycling cut the risk of death from any cause by 41%, the incidence of cancer by 45% and heart disease by 46%.
For me, cycling to work is quicker and cheaper than using public transport and it's my only form of exercise. And while going to the gym to lose a few pounds takes effort and commitment, cycling has just become part of the work routine. 39 . Anything that gets you a bit hot and out of breath can help make a difference.
But what exactly is it that makes cycling a much healthier option? The research found it wasn't the result of weight loss but it could be that cyclists are healthier.
40 , but it's thought that cycling is better than walking because the activity is longer and more intense (剧烈的). For me, it's the best and most enjoyable workout I can have. I don't need to wear skin-tight clothes, as long as I wear the most important accessory, a helmet.
A. It all makes good sense
B. Well, good news for me then
C. Of course, any exercise is good for you
D. Taking regular exercise has proven to be good for our health
E. Cycling to work is already popular in many cities across the world
F. This study shows the potential benefits of building activity into your everyday life
G. Most of us know that the risk of getting ill is reduced when we look after ourselves

Good evening, everyone. My name is Louise Bright. I've worked as a sportswear designer for a big store for four years now, but I haven't always worked in fashion. When I left school, I worked as a secretary for a couple of years, and then became a bank clerk before getting a job in a travel agency. But I always dreamt about working in fashion.
So, when I was 25, I went to college and did a four-year course there. You don't learn how to actually make clothes until the second year — the first year is spent looking back at the fashions of the past. In the third year, you work in a big store, looking at clothes made by all the famous fashion names.
I enjoyed the last year of the course most, because each student designs seven sets of clothes for the final fashion show. Some designed casual clothes; some liked children's wear. The things I designed were all sports clothes.
I was lucky to get work as a fashion designer as soon as I'd finished college. A few students from my course were offered work by really famous fashion designers, but I was offered work by the store I'd worked for as a student. In fact, most of the other students on my course aren't designing at all — they're working in advertising. I really love my work.

Dear Martin,
How are you getting along these days? I'm writing to tell you about the Chinese Character Dictation Competition held last Thursday in my school.
About 60 competitors were chosen to compete in the final, including me. We were asked to write down some Chinese characters according to the meanings. Those who made the fewest mistakes were winners. Luckily I got first prize.
I think the activity is a good way to bring out the charm of traditional Chinese culture. Not only did we get to know more about Chinese characters, but more and more students have fallen in love with them.
Could you please share something interesting with me? Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
