They are the best known public transport systems (公共交通运输系统) in the world and each is a key part of one of the greatest cities of the world. The two systems have many things in common(相同), including their ages and fame（名声）, but there are also important differences.The following table shows some of the similarities (类似）and differences.46. From the table, we can see that London Underground _______.A. has more lines than New York SubwayB. has a longer history than New York SubwayC. has better air conditioning than New York SubwayD. isn't as convenient (方便）as New York Subway47.It’s ____ to take an underground in London than to take a subway in New York.A. much saferB. more dangerousC. as safe asD. as dangerous as48.London Underground and New York Subway have some similarities in_______.A. air conditioning and hours of operationsB. longest station and frequencyC. crashes in the last 10 years and longest stationD. longest journey without changes and passengers (旅客）BWhat's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard work; others suggest knowledge, love and luck.If you arrange(排列)the 26 English letters inorder and use numbers to represent each of them, forexample, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c. . . 26 for z, you canchange an English word into a number. So hard workbecomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98，meaning 98is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96;love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47，a small mark. None of these words can give one a fullmark. What about money? It can't, either.Then what else? Don't be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself : attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and became friendly toward others, you'll meet more smiling faces toward you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude toward failure, you'll find it's also rewarding(有益的)though it has caused you losses(损失).49.The writer thinks is the most important thing in a person's life.A. hard workB. knowledgeC. moneyD. attitude50.

It tells a true story about an In dian man and his two daughters. His name’s Mahavir. In real life, he is called “the father of Indian women wrestling” because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts（努力）.A very famous Indian actor—Aamir Khan, played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience（经历）for him. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character（角色）and he tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then did sports to be very strong in a short time.Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches（教练）to train him to lose weight and it took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less food and drink more water. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and did it over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needed.The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last. As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal（目标）but whether（是否）you have made the greatest efforts.53. From the passage, what is Aamir Khan’s job?A. A teacher.B. An actor.C. A director.D. A coach.54. Why is Mahavir called “the father of Indian women wrestling”?A. Because he is a very famous Indian player.B.
