It is the first major U.S. city with a law like this. Do you think more places should pass such a law? Here are some ideas.Sally, Seoul, South Korea We should make it illegal in more cities because texting while walking can be dangerous. If you are looking at your phone while walking, you might not see a car come or the traffic light turn red.Andrew, Sydney, Australia I disagree because we have the right to make our own decisions. The government needs to stop telling us what to do. After all, this is a free country. And police need a lot of time to catch real criminals (犯人).Madeline, Paris, France This law is a good idea. If this law goes into effect in more cities, people will be upset. But is there really a way to please everyone? This would not be for fun. It would be for the benefit and safety of all the people.Anjali, Tokyo, Japan People do many things that cause injury (傷害) to themselves but are not illegal. People might get hurt from texting while walking if theyre not paying attention. But I still think they should have a choice.（1） recently passed a law making it illegal to text while crossing the street. A . SeoulB . SydneyC . HawaiiD .

He thought of the idea about gravitational waves years ago with his Theory of Relativity, but scientists are finally discovering that it really exists now. But what are gravitational waves, and why are they important?Well, gravitational waves are made by black holes and can change time in space. Black holes arent holes but are lots of matter put together into a very small area. They are created when a star, much like our sun, explodes and leaves behind this dense* material. It doesnt shine like a star any more, and it becomes black.The black holes that made these waves are special. About 1.3 billion years ago, there were two black holes that kept moving closer and closer together. Finally, they hit each other and formed one big black hole. The energy is given off and created the ripples* in space. These ripples are gravitational waves. For example, imagine you throw a stone into a pool. It creates ripples that change the shape of the water. Well, thats kind of what the influence of one black hole hitting the other has in space.Gravitational waves are hard to explore. But thanks to the efforts of scientists, the ripples were discovered on Feb. 11th, which is the first time in human history. Einstein was excellent to know this 100 years ago before we have the technology. It can give us a new view of the universe we live in. The discovery of gravitational waves, unlike stars, galaxies and other bright objects, black holes dont produce light, so we cant see them by tools. Gravitational waves allow scientists to look at the universe not only with light, but also with gravity. Everything else in astronomy like the eye, A scientist told The New York Times. Finally, astronomy grew ears. We had never ears before.Now, we will be able to find black holes and things that are much further away from Earth, which means much more space exploration in the future. And who knows, this discovery could even lead to time travel!（1）Gravitational waves are ripples that are created by A . starsB . lots of matterC . different materialsD . black holes（2）The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about .A . how black holes are formedB . how gravitational waves are createdC . why gravitational waves are importantD . why black holes are black（3）The discovery of gravitational waves can help people . A . understand the shape of waterB . see black holes clearlyC . learn more about the universeD . travel anywhere freely（4）What can we learn from the passage? A . Albert Einstein discovered gravitational waves.B . Where there are black holes, there are gravitational waves.C . Gravitational waves are to astronomy what ears to people.D . Gravitational waves are easy for scientists to be found by light.四、 任務(wù)型閱讀 (共1題；共10分)18. （10分）完成表格。閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,完成表格中所缺的信息。每空一詞。There are many libraries in Britain. Lets learn something about them.Public librariesMost towns in Britain have a public library. A library usually has a large selection of books and other resources, which library members can use and borrow for free.Britains First Public LibraryThe first Britains public library opened in Manchester in 1852. Its first librarian was a man called Edward Edwards. Edwards attended the librarys opening ceremony and two famous writers called Charles Dickens and William Thackeray were there, too.Services of libraryModern public libraries have something for everyone. Most of them have audio books, CDs, newspapers and DVDs as well as books to borrow.How to Join a LibraryTo join a library, go to your local library and fill in a form. Youll receive a library card which is needed when using library services.Mobile LibrariesNot everyone can get to a library. Some people live far away from towns and cities. Other people find it difficult to go out because they have an illness or a disability. Thanks to mobile libraries, these people can still borrow books.The libraries are special. Unlike most libraries, which store books in buildings, mobile libraries usually keep their books in a mini-bus. The back of the mini-bus has shelves for the books, and it is big enough for borrowers to step inside and look around. A driver take the mini-bus to a certain place at a certain time, so people know when to expect it. They can return their books and borrow
