• 1．How to Become a London Blue Badge Tourist Guide To become a registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide working in London，you will need to take a course and gain accreditation from the Institute of Tourist Guiding.
     The Course
     The course typically lasts about 18 months and involves lectures in London and practical site visits，along with periods of self-study.Its main focus is London，but it also covers the major tourist destinations across the South East，so it helps to have a reasonable knowledge of London and destinations such as Windsor，Oxford and Stratford.It can also be useful to have language skills as a large number of guides provide tours in more than one language.
     Applying for the Course
     There is lots of interest in the course，so candidates are assessed by exam and interview before being awarded a place.You will find further information on the course fees and timelines on the Institute's website.
     Programme Content
     As part of the course，you'll learn how to develop and present highlighted tours of London's major attractions，together with a City of London walk and a panoramic coach tour.The practical side is matched by lectures covering a wide range of topics related to London，the various regional sites and the techniques of guiding.
     Exams
     During the course you'll take a number of written and practical exams and if you're successful you'll be awarded a Blue Badge，which is the industry's recognized symbol of professionalism in tourist guiding.It is also possible to take the exams without doing the course，but there are many benefits to doing so，not least the opportunity to meet and work with guiding colleagues.

• 2．When British musician Paul Barton performs in central Thailand lately，his energetic listeners react wildly.Some pull his hair or jump on his piano.Others steal his music.The behavior is normal，however，because these crowds are truly barbaric-monkeys to be exact.
     Barton plays often to the animals in Lopburi，an area known for its populations of macaque monkeys.The pianist hopes the music shows bring calm to the animals during the coronavirus crisis.The disease has caused problems for the monkeys，too.They are hungry.The restrictions on tourism mean fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them.
     "We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly.And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive，" said Barton.
     Barton has played at four sites in Lopburi，including at an ancient Hindu temple，a store and an old movie jye.aiater.The macaques quickly surround Barton when he plays Greensleeves，Beethoven's Fur Elise and Michael Nyman's Diary of Love.Some of the creatures sit on his chair，while others climb up his body and touch his head.
     "A wonderful opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves，" said Barton，from Yorkshire in northern England.Barton keeps his attention on his performance，even as a small monkey runs over his hands on the instrument.Other monkeys take control of his music papers.However，he added， "I wasn't going to let those things distract from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful macaques.In fact，I was surprised to find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it."
     The monkeys are Barton's latest animal fans.Past wildlife audiences included elephants living in special protected areas.
     Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys' hunger.At the same time，he hopes to study their behavior as they react to classical music. "It's possible that the music can play a part in the treatment process，" he said.

• 3．A large conch（海螺）shell brought little attention in a French museum for many years，but it is now quickly gaining attention.The shell is thought to be the oldest known seashell instrument.And it still works，producing a deep sound，like a foghorn from the distant past.
     The shell was found during the exploration of a cave with prehistoric wall paintings in the Pyrenees Mountains in southwestern France.It was believed to be a ceremonial drinking cup.Scientists from the University of Toulouse in France recently took a fresh look at the conch shell.They now believe it was changed thousands of years ago to serve as a wind instrument.They also invited a French horn，player to play it.
     The researchers estimate it to be about 18，000 years old.Conch shells have been used widely in musical and ceremonial traditions，including in ancient Peru，Greece，Japan and India.The shell instrument found in the Marsoulas cave is now the oldest known example.Earlier，Gilles Tosello，another archaeologist in Toulouse，said a conch shell instrument found in Syria was estimated to be about 6，000 years old.
     The latest discovery was made after a recent inventory at the Natural History Museum of Toulouse.The researchers noticed some unusual holes in the shell.Especially important is that the end of the shell was broken off.That created a hole large enough to blow through.Inspections with a microscope showed that the opening was made by humans. "It was not accidental breakage or wear，" Tosello said.
     This discovery reminds us that ancient people's lives were more complex than making stone tools and hunting large animals. "Marsoulas cave is not near an ocean.So the prehistoric people must have either moved around or traded to get the shell，" the researchers said.
  
  （1）What's the Conch shell found in France，actually？

  
  A．A tool.
  B．A decoration.
  C．A drinking cup.
  D．A musical instrument.
  （2）What can be learned from paragraph 2 and 3？

  
  A．Researchers explored the cave in order to find the horn.
  B．Scientists got wrong with the estimation of the shell at first.
  C．Conch shells have been widely used all over Europe.
  D．According to archaeologists，the shell found in Syria is the oldest one.
  （3）What made it possible for the shell to turn into a horn？

  
  A．A large hole at the end.
  B．A telescope.
  C．Some accidental breakage.
  D．A natural opening.
  （4）What's the main idea of the passage？

  
  A．Ancient people lived a more complex life.
  B．Musical instrument changed a lot over time.
  C．An ancient musical conch shell was discovered.
  D．Scientists disagreed on the use of conch shells.

      The other day，I was driving home，a little upset because I hated working at the weekend.On the way，I decided to grab some veggies in the nearby greengrocer's.Since there was still thin ice on the road，I took a glance at the rear mirror to make sure no pedestrians or vehicles came close，and slowly steered the wheel to the right.Then out of any of my expectancy my car bumped into an electric bike，giving out a harsh metallic clash.I collected myself and saw out of the window screen a teenager lean on one side of the bike，one foot off the ground.
      All of a sudden，a familiar scene flashed across my mind.
      When I was in high school，I had fun riding my bike along the country road on sweltering and boring afternoons during summer holidays.Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream.Once we had an argument about what to buy.Seeing him leave the store in a temper，I jumped on the bike and tried to talk him into going back.Suddenly，he gave me a push and I inclined towards the middle of the road when a motorbike came in my face.I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly.Luckily，I didn't get hurt but still couldn't rise to my feet.The motorist，a middle-aged man，ignoring his torn jeans，shed to check on me，"Are you okay？Your leg？Your foot？"
      "I am all right，but…" I stared at him，terrified because I was sure he would ask for a "big" sum of money for compensation.Instead，he just let me go despite his wife's Protests.Guilty as I was，I was happy that I was spared.I was really grateful to the man for pardoning a silly kid who had made such a big mistake involuntarily.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。

      Seeing the same fright in the boy's eyes，I quickly got out of my car.______________________
