The area is close to good shopping

10、and dining opportunities, and there are usually some sorts of public events or celebrations going on there during most weekends.Wander Along the ThamesVisitors wanting to see some great architecture, attractions and viewsshould spend an afternoon walking along the River Thames. The best place to sta

11、rt is at the world-famous London Bridge crossing over the river and you can walk all the way to Westminster Bridge a short distance away. Travelers doing this will find themselves passing by a great manyhistoric buildings.Explore the Local MarketsWhile purchasing items at any of the open markets in

12、London is not necessarily free, walking through them to view the merchants , their products and the other shoppers is of great fun. Some of the popular open markets in London worth visiting include Spitafields Market, Portobello RoadMarket and Leadenhall Market.Visit the British MuseumOneof the top

13、museumsn the entire United Kingdom can be found in London, and it charges no admission for entry.

London Bridge is far from Westminster BridgePortobello Road Market is located in Manchestervisitors should pay some money to enter the British Museumthe British Museum is a major and valuable scholarly resourceBIT S always exciting to think about the future and what kind of technol

16、ogy might exist in years to come. But what if that future is closer than you think?The name Magic Leap is starting to spread across the Internet, and fora good reason. The Magic Leap technology company in the US has been working on something new and exciting, keeping it so secret that even the peopl

17、e working on the project have been hidden from the media. But recently they have started to release more information, and it seems like the future of computing is about to change dramatically.Magic Leap s preview shows the possibility of a classroom where you can interact with a miniature 3-D manand

18、 watch animals floating in front of your eyes. You could comeface to face with fierce creatures like tigers and sharks, and more might be possible very soon.The companyhopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality computing. This means that the way we interact with computers

19、could change completely, and so could the gaming industry.Imagine a gamein which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you jump as things come, flying at you. RioCaraeff, the compan

20、y s chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “ the world becomes your screen ”.All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floating in the handsof its user, a virtual reality pet that th

21、e user can interact with. Exciting to think about, no?It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums

22、of moneyin the project hoping to see it becomea reality.24 Which of the following is TRUEabout the Magic Leap technology company? A.

25、ter games.It could help people improve their ability to interact with others.It could turn the whole world into an interactive screen for its users.It could make it hard for people to distinguish between virtual reality and reality.What is Google s attitude toward the technology named “ Cinematic Re

26、ality ”?A. Worried. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned. CSince so muchwritten language we see today comes from a glowing screen, language has begun to change through our interaction with technology. Social media and the Internet have had a rapid and great effect on the English language, and

27、not necessarily for the better. More and more people have found themselves writing in pieces of words and using unclear acronyms(單詞首字母)both in written and spoken language.How many times have you typed“LOU in response to a humorous mess age?Referred to someone as your BFF ? Exclaimed,OMG!during apart

28、icularly shocking event? Social media has affected the words we use in our everyday life. Abbreviations and acronyms commonlyknown as “text talk ” have madetheir way into both spoken and written language. These are becoming increasingly popular as people struggle for brief expressions to meet word l

29、imits on social media like Weibo and Twitter. In addition, the speed of the Internet means language is changing faster than ever. You no longer have to be published through physical and traditionalmeans to bring word trends topublic attention.Many people believe the overuse of these new terms is a p

30、assing trend, and nobody will be using them in just a couple of decades. With the change of language, older terms will surely disappear and fall out of style, and newer and more Internet language will take their place.But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks the contrary. In 2020, a lot ofInternet t

31、erms including, “LOL,”“BPB,”“OMD: and “BFF were addedto the dictionary, making these acronyms official parts of the English language. According to the dictionary writers, these terms aren t goinganywhere anytime soon.The words you use in everyday life are a reflection of yourself; this is especially

32、 true on the Internet with the lack of interaction in real life.With the Internet and social media rapidly getting popular, soon your words may be all you have left. Make them good ones.Which is the best title for the passage?Social Media and the English LanguageThe Use of New Internet LanguageThe I

33、nternet and Social MediaThe Change of the Internet and EnglishWhat is one reason for people s use of acronyms?The decrease of physical and traditional booksPeople s need for quick response to different messagesThe lack of people s interaction with technologiesPeople s need to meet word limits on soc

34、ial mediaThe “new terms ” are considered to be part of a passing trend because.they are not published in a traditional waythey are not used as formal languagethey ll be replaced by even newer onesthey are not supported by dictionary writersThe writer of the passage thinks that Internet languages .A.

35、 have positive influenceB. should be properlyusedC. are getting more popularD. are useless forinteractionThere was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier: Paper or plastic? ” Well, which type of bag would you choose?Wh

36、ile all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are madefrom a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than

37、 that of plastic ones. How can this be true?Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as muchenergy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to makethem is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to

38、 produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than

39、 it does paper.Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic b

40、ag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.There s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influen

41、ce on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic? ” It seemsthat wefirst need to ask ourselves one more general question:What can I do to help theenvironment?The questions in Paragraph 1 are used roduce points for discussiontell readers how to save m

45、ybe you notice an attractive title or something else that draws you away from your work. _37_Addiction to social media is closely related to our general addiction to the Internet.

46、t toward the task. If this sounds like you, then your productivity has suffered because of the way you use the Internet._39_ So we should learn to live with it. The only way to stop the Internet from occupying all your time and concentration is to disconnect. When you disconnect, you ll get your att
