Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题3分,满分24分)
A
Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world. War, weather, age, traffic and pollution all damage these famous places. Looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.
In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to preserve (保护) our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after important historic places. Also, if they discovered that a monument had been damaged by people, they would have money for repairs. For these reasons, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization (世界遗产组织) in 1972. Today, the organization helps to preserve and repair the most important places from our history.
However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. People sometimes enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings. At some sites, such as Stonehenge in England, governments have built high walls to protect the site from vandals (故意破坏者).
There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Some experts say that if guards patrolled (巡逻) the sites, vandals would not be able to get in. Some experts say that if they fixed more television cameras, they would not need so many guards. Other experts say that the best solution is education. If people learned to respect history, they would not destroy or damage it. They would also want to spend money looking after old places. For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic sites.

A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle (交通工具), but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to an official UK government survey in 2017, about 570,000 bike journeys are made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city,” Johnson told the Guardian in 2015.
In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city, taking a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.
2
And it’s not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government’s Cycle to Work scheme (骑行倡议) allows employees to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax (税). This means that it’s common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some employers even provide workplace showers and lockers (储物柜) for their workers. More importantly, a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you rode a bike to work. Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine, “Bike riding can improve people’s happiness.” 5. How does the author show the popularity of cycling in London? A. By making comparisons. B. By using numbers. C. By giving examples。 D. By using famous sayings. 6. What’s Johnson’s attitude toward the bike-sharing system in London? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Uninterested.
7. What can employees get from the government under the “Cycle to Work” scheme?
A. Free bike-sharing services. B. A tax-free bike.
C. Shorter working hours. D. Workplace showers and lockers. 8. What’s does the underlined phrase “let you off” in the last paragraph mean?
A. 不惩罚 B. 解雇 C. 请假 D. 释放 Ⅱ. 完形填空(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I left, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership, a shop selling cars, was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

I entered the shop, and one of the salesmen came to me. I recognized him at
once. The two salesmen were the older couple, and they were the owners of the Friendly Ford dealership. “ Hey, it’s you! You ever helped me, remember?” I said to them excitedly. “Yeah, we do!” the old man laughed, saying “We run the shop to help more people. It makes our life so meaningful!” Paragraph 2
After a while, they quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They solved my trouble once again, but when I paid for it, they would not accept my money. They told me that when they ran the shop at first, no one had ever taken the time to write them and say thank you, but now they received more and more thank-you notes from people, which they were really happy about.
