People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to 1 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest (抗議) against heavy trucks which run 2 through the narrow High Street. 4<They not only make it 3 to sleep at night,but they are doing damage (損害) to our houses and shops of historical 4 ,” said John Norris,one of the protesters.

    “ 5we must have these noisy trucks on the roads ,” said Jean Lacey,a biology student, “why

don't they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a 6 village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.

     Harry Fields also studying 7 said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don't live here any-way ,” he said ,“they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof (隔音的) ,so they probably don't 8 . It's high time they realized the problem. The fourth student,Liza Vernum,said she

thought the public were mostly on their side,and even if they weren’t they soon would be.

     I asked if they were 9 that the police might come to stop them.

   “Not really ,” she said ,“actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no 10 against practising.”

   I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

   1990 was a significant year in world events. In February,Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. In October,East and West Germany became one country again. Then at the end of 1990,the World Wide Web was born. For this final event we have one man to thank,Tim Berners-Lee,the father of the Web.

    Berners-Lee was born on June 8 ,1955 in London,England. His parents,both computer designers,encouraged him to think and work creatively as he grew up. He was an excellent student and naturally took an interest in computers and science.

    After graduating from Oxford University,Tim went to work at a science research Center in Switzerland. There he developed some of the different systems that would later become the Web. The first was HTML,the computer language used to make web pages. The second was an address system that let computers anywhere find each other and send and receive information. In 1990,while still at the science center in Switzerland,he put them together to make the first Internet browser. It could run on any computer and allowed people to share their information with the rest of the world.

    Tim knew that the more people used the Web,the more useful it would be. He wasn5t interested in money but knowledge,so he gave out his invention for free to anyone who was interested. Many were interested and the growth of the Internet began.

   Today Tim works as a professor at the MIT in America,researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He has received many awards from governments and organizations for his efforts. He is still not very interested in money. That is why he is so admired by his students and workmates. It may also be one of the reasons that few people outside the world of technology know his name.

   D. Many people could use the Internet before1990.

() 3. What can we learn about Berners-Lee from the passage?

   A. He was encouraged to be creative.    B. He didn't do well at school.

   C. He is a very poor businessman.       D. He is well-known all over the world.

(2015 •呼和浩特中考) 

   Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores?

   A study into how lazy British people has found more than half of the adults are so lazy that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

   Just over 2, 000 people were quizzed by independent researchers in the Britain's largest health center. The results were very surprising.

   About one in six people who were asked said if their control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

   More than one third of those asked said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly,of 654 respondents (離婚被告) with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

   We know that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are very fat before they start school.

   Dr Sarah,Dauncey,medical director of the center,said, “People need to get fitter,not just for their own health,but for their families,friends and pets,too.

   “If we don't start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic tasks. ”

   And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was shamed as the laziest city in the UK,with 75% asked thinking they do not get enough exercise,followed by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.

   So there are some problems for the National Health Service,where fatness-related (相關(guān)的) illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on an increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

1. What does the underlined word “quizzed” mean?

   A. questioned   B. answered   C. listened   D. heard

   A. they were often too busy to play with their children

   B. they were often so tired that they couldn’t play with their children

   C. they were often so sad that they didn't want to play with their children

   D. they were often ill and they couldn’t play with their children

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. All the adults in the UK are very lazy.

   B. Half of the children are very fat before they go to school.

   C. Pets will be in trouble if their owners don't keep healthy.

   D. All people in Glasgow feel ashamed because they don't get enough exercise.

4. From the last paragraph,we can learnif they keep lazy.

   A. people may have heart disease

   B. people can work at home all the time

   C. people like shopping online

   D. people don't like climbing the stairs

5. What does the passage mainly talk about?

   A. The health service in the UK.

   B. A study of British people's lifestyles.

   C. A study of British people's laziness.

   D. The fatness problem in the UK.
