24、he visitor must know though that in Xinjiang, locals often use Urumqi Time, which is two hours behind Beijing Time. Best Seasons to visit the Silk RoadThe months of May and October are the best time to travel the Silk Road. The summer can be extremely hot. The winter is freezing. During May, the ave
25、rage temperature along the route is around 15C and the scenery is the most beautiful. Visitors can enjoy this enchanting scenery without suffering extreme temperatures. Visiting temples along the wayWhen traveling along the Silk Road, a temple is often an important spot visited by travelers. There a
26、re some important things to remember, though, in order to ensure a pleasant visit to the temples. Proper Manners: put your palms together and lower your head when meeting with the monks.

27、e respectful. Do not touch or damage any religious artifacts, and be silent during religious ceremonies.

30、nts of urban areas often make use of public transportation on their way to school or the office. But when their final destination isnt near a bus stop or subway station, those folks have a problem. Transportation experts often refer to this as the “last mile” problem finding a way to close the gap b
31、etween public transportation stops and ones destination.With the last mile problem in mind, the makers of the URB-E designed a compact electric vehicle that weighs around 13 kilograms. Unlike bikes, which often dont fit on crowded buses or trains, the URB-E collapses into a form similar to carry-on
32、luggage. And since the URB-E can be carried practically anywhere, its not as vulnerable to thieves as bikes are.Depending on usage, the URB-E can travel for 32 kilometers on a single charge, reaching a top speed of 24 kilometers per hour. Although there are other vehicles attempting to address the l
33、ast mile issue, the URB-E stands out for its ease of use, portability and affordable price. For the price of a nice laptop, you could have an URB-E to drive to the office.The URB-E is made from aircraft-grade aluminum and comes in two basic models: the URB-E Commuter and the URB-E GP. The main diffe
34、rence between the two is that the Commuter model has two rear wheels while the GP has only one. That means the Commuter offers greater stability, as opposed to the GPs ability to make sharper turns like a bicycle.Both models come with accessories(配件) such as LED front and rear lights and a shock-abs
35、orbing seat. They also feature a smart phone holder and USB charging port right on the steering column. In fact, smartphones play a big role in the URB-E app to do things like monitor battery charge or control the lights. Optional accessories include a cup holder and a folding luggage shelf.At this
36、years international Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, tech website The Verge awarded the URB-E with its “Best Personal Transportation” award. Singing the URB-Es praises, Verge editor Ben Popper said, “The URB-E felt like the kind of vehicle an enlightened citizen of 2030 would own.” So wh
37、y wait that long, when the URB-E is available for order now?48.Which of the following statement is true about the URB-E?A. The URB-E is the only solution to the “last mile” problem.B. The Commuter offers greater stability when making sharper turns than a bicycle.C. All the URB-Es dont have two rear
38、wheels.D. The URB-Es wont be on the market until 2030.49. Which is not the necessary accessory of the URB-E?A. a shock-absorbing seat B. a smart phone C. LED front and rear lights D. a USB charging port50. The underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 probably means_.A. more willing B. easily atta
39、cked C. better protected D. more attractive51. What can you infer from the passage?A. The URB-E will become more and more popular among the people all over the world.B. By 2030, every citizen will have a URB-E.C. The URB-E is quite useful only to those living in urban areas.D. The URB-E costs no mor
40、e than what a computer takes. CLucky is the man who has no “skeleton in his closet.” When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of, that he wants to hide, he is said to have a “skeleton in his closet.” Some people may have more than one skeleton.As we have noted many times, it is h
41、ard to find out how these expressions begin. Sometimes, we get some hard facts. But more often we have to depend on guesswork. And that is true of this phrase, which came from England.Before 1932,English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless it
42、was the corpse (尸体) of an executed(处决) criminal.But when it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine. It was helping in the advance of modern medicine. The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at h
43、igh prices.We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study. It became very important in his work. But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing. As a rule, the doctor would keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not
44、 be seen, or hide it in a closet.After a time, people began to suspect(怀疑) every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet. From this suspicion, the phrase “a skeleton in the closet” took on a broader, more general meaning：to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering. It co
45、uld be proof of a criminal act, or something much less serious. Well, that is one theory.One writer, however, believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton, clear
46、proof of some old family shame or crime. Well, one mans guess is as good as another. But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist, Balzac.Balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover. The husband comes home by surprise. But she hears him and quickly hides her lover
47、in the closet of her bedroom. He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover. He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there; He will believe her. She answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet.The husband then begins to build a
48、solid brick wall against the closet. His wife watches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. But she will not change her story and admit her guilt. 52.Which of the following situations is suitable for using the phrase “Skeleton in the closet”?A. You have stolen something precious and dont want it discovered.B. You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for researchC. If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton secret.D. You have done a crime or done something foolish, but you
