Mike's Project
As part of my history project on transport, I did some short interviews with people in
myneighbourhood. My first interview was with my friend Susan's grandmother, Mrs Sanderson.
Question 1
How did you get to school when you were young
I walked to school with my friends, except for Fridays when we had to carry all of our things for
school sports. Then we caught the bus. I enjoyed walking because we could chat on the way. I didn't like
it when it was raining though, but Mum always made sure I wore my raincoat and gumboots. On the
other hand. I became a strong walker, and I believe that's why I've been healthy all my life.
Question 2
My parents drive me to school. Why didn't you go to school by car
You know we were not rich enough at that time. We could not afford a car until after I had finished
school.
Question 3
How did you get around when you weren't going to school
We often went for a family trip by train. Most weekends we went on picnics and I loved playing
with my cousins in the park. The trip took much longer than it would take by car today, of course.

I still love walking, but I need to drive my grandchildren around, so I mainly use my car. It is fast.

In a recent discovery(发现), archaeologists(考古学家)found the ruins(废墟)of an
important ancient city! These ruins. found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old. They are
from the Xia Dynasty,which is the earliest known dynasty in China. This discovery helps fill in
some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of the Xia Dynasty.
The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far,
archaeologists have dug up around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022.

including Baliqiao. Liang Fawei, an archaeologist, explained that the objects found at both places
are very alike, showing the influence (影响) of the Xia Dynasty on the Baliqiao area.
Nowadays, as researchers continue to dig at the Baliqiao ruins, we can look forward to more
treasures from the past. They may help us understand how ancient people lived, what they
believed in, and how the Xia Dynasty shaped early China. With each new find, they' re piecing
together the story of ancient China.

The strait(海峡)of Hormuz is one of the world's most strategically important waterways. It
is the only maritime passage connecting the Persian Gulf to the
Indian Ocean. Stretching about 150 kilometers long, the strait is
just 33 kilometers wide at its narrowest point, with Iran to the
north and Oman and the United Arab Emirates to the south. Its
unique location makes it a natural choke point for global shipping
and trade.
As the main route for oil and gas from the Persian Gulf, the
strait carries more than 20 percent of the world's seaborne oil trade
and a large share of global liquefied natural gas(LNG)(液化天
然气)exports. Most of these energy resources are shipped to Asian countries, including China,
India, Japan and South Korea. It also supports international container trade and global supply
chains, playing an irreplaceable role in the world economy.
Throughout history, the strait has been a bridge for trade and cultural exchange. For
thousands of years, merchants and travelers have crossed its waters, linking civilizations across
Western Asia and beyond. Driven by rising global energy demand, its strategic value has grown
greatly, making it the world's most critical oil shipping lane.
Today, the Strait of Hormuz still shapes global energy security and economic stability. Its
distinctive geography, long historical role, and irreplaceable position in international energy
transport secure its statusas one of the world's most vital waterways.
52. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The key role of the Strait of Hormuz in global energy and trade.
B. The geographic location of the Strait of Hormuz.
C. The history of cultural exchange along the Strait of Hormuz.

C. It has been the most important oil shipping lane for centuries.
D. It handles more than 30% of the world's seaborne oil trade.
54. Why has the strategic value of the Strait of Hormuz grown greatly
A. Because it helps promote cultural exchange across Asia.
B. Because merchants and travelers have crossed it for long.
C. Because global energy demand has been rising continuously.

No time to stop
After facing great challenges,30-year-old Spanish motorcycle racer(摩托车手)Marc
Marquez has made a successful comeback. On March 16, the six-time world champion(冠军)won
his second race of the 2025 MotoGP season at the Argentina Grand Prix.
Born in Cervera, Spain, in 1995, Marquez asked his parents for a bike before he turned 4
years old. In 2013, he started his MotoGP journey and won a world championship in his first
season. Between 2014 and 2019, he was at the top of the sport, winning five out of six
championships.At 1.68 meters tall, Marquez got the nickname (绰号)“the Ant of Cervera”. This
was due to his small size but amazing ability to control a 160-kilogram motorcycle at speeds of up
to 350 kilometers per hour. He also pioneered the“elbow down” riding style, where riders keep
their elbows close to the ground to go faster.
Just as Marquez was about to reach bigger goals, a serious accident in the 2020 MotoGP
season broke his right arm. Since then, he's been working hard to get better from a number of
crashes (撞车) and injuries (受伤). During his recovery (恢复), Marquez's team had to take the
wheels off his bike and hide them so he wouldn't try to ride. He's not afraid of the crashes that
nearly ended his career.“Maybe sometimes I'm taking too much risk but I cannot ride a bike
worrying about the crashing,” Marquez told The Guardian.
With two wins in a row, Marquez has made a strong start to win his first world title (冠军)
since 2019.“I continue fighting because, in the end, my love for racing is more than what I was
suffering,” he added.
