Different types of maps have different uses. Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places.
Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No.621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.
Distribution maps(分布图) use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or if a place is short of water.
Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People don't have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.
( )19. Jim is visiting the Summer Palace. Which map does he need most
A. A tourist map. B. A road map.
C. A distribution map. D. A railway map.
( )20. How can you tell different roads on road maps

What do you do when you can't concentrate(专注) in class
Scientists in Australia have found a new way: simply looking at nature from your desk for 40 seconds can improve your brainpower. Also, they found that even people looking at a picture of something green is also helpful.
In an experiment, scientists asked 150 students to press(摁) numbers again and again on a computer screen, unless it was the number three. In the middle of the task, the students had a 40- second break. Half of them looked at something green and the others didn't. The first group made fewer mistakes and concentrated more on the task than those in the other group. According to the study, the green things improved the brainpower. So just a moment of green could make tired work better.
In our everyday lives, we may look out of the window to see nature. A lot of us have a short break when we feel stressed or tired. It can help us concentrate on our study and make ourselves perform better during the school day.
The study may be also useful to city planners.“ City planners around the world are studying how to use green well and we hope the future of our cities will be a very green one,” said Lee.
( )23. The writer begins with a question to .
A. make a survey B. interest readers
C. show a feeling D. solve problems

( )26. Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE
A. The first group didn't make any mistakes.
B. One group looked at the green things during the break.

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well- being related to age.
( )27. You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of ·
A. 20 B. 25 C. 35 D. 40
( )28. According to Arthur Stone, old people may .
A. have a positive attitude towards their life
B. know how to spend money wisely
C. dream about good things every day
D. control their behaviors better
( )29. Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage
A. Those who are worried about getting old.
B. Those who are single and unemployed.
C. Those who feel unhappy all the time.
D. Those who suffer from mental stress.
( )30. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Getting Older Means Getting Happier
B. The Young Are Happier Than the Old
C. Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life
D. The Younger, the Happier
