London’s four wonderful hotels
Here’s a pick of four wonderful hotels, each different in terms of size, style and location, but all
performing to an exceptional standard.
The Goring Hotel
Since first opening in 1910, it is London’s oldest family-owned luxury hotel with the second-largest
privately-owned garden in London after Buckingham Palace. The rooms of this hotel are smaller than those
of many other London’s top hotels. There are 12 interconnecting rooms, which are ideal for families.
The Beaumont Hotel
This 1926 building, formerly a parking garage, has been transformed into one of London’s hottest hotels.
Its art collection, personal service, elegant rooms and hot restaurant make it a favorite on our London list.
There’s also an impressive 2. 5 staff to every person and a 24-hour doorkeeper to make sure that guests’
needs are met around the clock.
The Bulgari Hotel
This hotel has some of the largest accommodations in the capital. It’s very modern and huge with six floors
below and nine above ground. It feels big, but there are only 85 rooms and suites spread over six floors,
indicating how spacious (宽敞的) they are. The Bulgari Hotel has many child-friendly rooms and activities to
keep the kids busy：a swimming pool, a cinema, PlayStations, Xbox and lots of other games. The Bulgari spa
is spread over two stories. And the doorkeeper can also arrange babysitting.
The Rosewood Hotel
Rosewood is within walking distance of many of the city’s main attractions. From the outside, the building
is large and impressive with an elegant courtyard designed for horse-drawn carriages (四轮马车). There is
also a great spa and fitness center. As for activities for kids, there are food activities, art and wildlife. The
doorkeeper can arrange trips to the London Zoo.

Elaine Su shared her experience of asking her neighbors to put up Lunar New Year decorations, helping
her two-year-old son experience the festival as part of the large community. In a neighbourhood mostly
consisting of non-Chinese residents, more than half of the households complied the tradition as well.
Interviewing her for the story provoked my own memories of celebrating Lunar New Year. The holiday
was a big deal for me as a kid growing up in Jiangsu.
Legend says the holiday originated with the fight against a mythical beast called Nian, who came down
from the mountains to hunt people on New Year’s Eve. Villagers discovered that Nian feared the colour red,
candle light and loud noise. So they began to decorate with the vibrant hue, light their homes with lanterns
and set off firecrackers to prevent its return.
On New Year’s Eve, my family would come together to celebrate with food prepared by my grandma.
Moments before the countdown, the sound of firecrackers would fill every corner of our apartment and the
celebrations continued into the next day.
For breakfast, we would eat yuan xiao, a kind of glutinous rice ball, which symbolizes the idea of reunion.
Then, it was off to visit my grandparents, who were already awaiting us and my other extended family with
lucky money and more traditional delicacy!
My favourite part of the holiday came after the adults were playing mahjong. My cousins and I were
finally freed from our parents. With all the lucky money, we hit the streets and bought more snacks and more
firecrackers!
Having immigrated to Canada for years, I further lost touch with my Chinese culture as I gradually dived
into my new life in a new country. Maybe it’s time for me, like her, to reclaim Lunar New Year.
24. What can we infer about Elaine Su in paragraph 1?
A. She missed her family in China very much.
B. She forced her son to accept Chinese customs.
C. She shared her happy memories with her neighbors.
D. She celebrated Lunar New Year in another country.
25. What does the underlined words “provoked” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Stirred up. B. Wiped out. C. Took after. D. Set down.
26. How does the author develop the text?
A. By analyzing studies. B. By answering questions.
C. By explaining factors. D. By sharing experience.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Origin of the Chinese Lunar New Year B. The Spring Festival Stored in My Memory
C. An Unforgettable Interview on New Year’s Eve D. A Chinese Celebrating the Spring Festival
Abroad
C
Electric cars are supposed to help the world go green and stop hurting the planet. Engineers at Brown
University and the University of Maryland are taking that goal to another other level, with a new idea for
batteries made from trees, according to new findings published in Nature.
Lithium-ion batteries ( 锂电池) have become the new form of rechargeable batteries thanks to their
extraordinarily long charge. You’re probably reading this story from a device powered by such a battery.
Most electric cars like ones made by Tesla use lithium-ion batteries.
These batteries use a liquid solution that conducts lithium ions from the battery’s cathode and anode (阴极
和阳极), but the liquid is not what helps ensure electrical power goes from the battery to the device it’s
powering. The problem is that this liquid is made of harmful materials that are sometimes unstable. They
sometimes have explosive results. A solid conducting structure would prevent this from happening, but it
could be likely to crack and break, making the battery useless.
An ideal material for solid state lithium-ion batteries would be thin and flexible to resist structural stresses,
and it is wood from a tree. The team in charge of the new research developed a mixed material made of
copper (铜) and fibers coming from wood. They tested it out as a model for conducting ions back and forth in
a lithium-ion battery, and found it works 10 to 100 times better than other solid-state conductors-a record
high.
The new findings are just based on basic model tests, and a rechargeable battery made of trees is still quite
a way off. But if it passes test as a practical form of energy, it can very well replace rechargeable batteries. It
is not hard to imagine electric cars having better sales for their real green, but saying that their batteries are
just made from trees is beyond our imagination.
28. How are engineers making electric cars greener according to the text?
A. By improving the materials of batteries.
B. By reducing lithium ion in the batteries.
C. By using liquid to conduct electric power.
