Some of the Most Beautiful National Parks in the UK
Snowdonia
North Wales’s national park boasts mountain and sea views: Several of its peaks gaze across to Ire-land and it has miles of sandy beaches. You can climb Wales’s highest mountain without working up a sweat by catching an old-fashioned train. Those who pursue excitement can choose zip lines, bounce down mountain bike trails or catch breaks at an inland surfing.
Cairngorms
The UK’s biggest national park is home to its mightiest mountains: Five out of six of Scotland’s highest peaks are found here. Lying in the heart of the highlands, the Cairngorms mountain range still has vast areas of pure wilderness and is one of the chilliest places in the country. For much of the year, its peaks are blanketed in snow and you can ski there in winter.
Peak District
Sandwiched between Manchester and Sheffield, England’s oldest national park has two personalities: A tough and a gentle side. In the north are dramatic edges like Kinder Scout which rewards adventurous walkers with stark views. Venture south for the lower, greener, grass-covered valleys of the White Peak. Walk along the Ecclesbourne Valley to experience both in one day.
New Forest
The New Forest is surprisingly old: William the Conqueror named it when he used to hunt deer and wild pigs here nearly 1, 000 years ago. Confusingly, this picturesque corner of southern England isn’t completely covered in woodland either—it also has acres of woodland and miles of muddy coast. The terrain is gentle, and you’re guaranteed a sighting of its free-walking horses.
1. How can visitors climb Wales’s highest mountain without sweating
A. By riding a bike. B. By taking a cable car.
C. By taking a train. D. By traveling in a plane.
2. Which of the following is TRUE about Peak District
A. It is a good habitat for horses.
B. Its name was given by William the Conqueror.
C. It is a newly-built national park in England.
D. It offers visitors two totally different views.
3. Who would most probably benefit from this passage
A. A busy lawyer who intends to take a few days off and have a trip to the UK.
B. A gifted artist who ensures he hasn’t missed any landmark the UK has to offer.
C. An exchange student who wants to make the most of his time learn painting UK.
D. An ambitious editor who is determined to take in the very best sights of the world.
B
Edward O. Wilson known as “ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination with ants and their social structures.
Wilson earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph. D. from Harvard and worked there until retirement.
Wilson’s early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: how ants communicate through the release of chemical signals. Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bert Holldobler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects’ social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to general readers.
Another of Wilson’s major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacAr-thur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species.
What many consider to be Wilson’s most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic roots of animal behavior and argued that genes shaped human behavior. Wilson faced accusations for these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Hu-man Nature, which won him a Pulitzer (普利策奖) in 1979.
Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. These achievements offered him a type of superstar status, but friends and colleagues say the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “Professor Wilson really listened and engaged with whomever he was interacting with,” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson’s final advisees.
4. What contributed to Wilson’s passion for ants
A. His disability. B. His boyhood time spent in nature.
C. The school education he received. D. The discovery he made about ants.
5. What is Wilson’s first Pulitzer-winning book about
A. The social structure of ants.
B. The distribution of different species.
C. The links between biology and human culture.
D. The role of chemical signals in communication.
6. According to the last paragraph which word best describes Wilson
A. Imaginative. B. Independent. C. Open-minded. D. Modest.
7. Where can we read this passage
A. A science magazine. B. A health report.
C. A film review. D. A travel guidebook.
C
Food companies engineer junk food to make it addictive They label their products to make them seem much healthier than they are. And their advertisements target children.
All of this is according to a news report read recently by students in a Texas middle school. They were taking part in an experiment run by the University of Chicago and the University of Texas. Researchers had students learn about food-industry advertising strategies. They wanted to know if learning about them would change how kids feel about junk food. All over the world, kids are eating more foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat. That is partly the result of clever ads that make junk food panies use varying strategies. An ad with cartoon characters may make cereal seem fun to eat. A professional athlete enjoying a sugary drink may make it look cool. Advertisers know that if kids want a product, they’ll beg their parents to buy it.
Christopher J. Bryan led the study. He says that when kids question the motives behind junk-food ads, they feel like they’re fighting injustice. “The reward is knowing you’re doing the right thing,” he says. In the Texas study, Bryan had students view ads on an iPad. Their job was to write or draw on the screen, to make each ad’s message true. For example, a McDonald’s ad showed a Big Mac and the words. “The thing you want when you order salad.” To the end of the sentence, a student added “should be salad.”
The results of Bryan’s Texas study were published in April. They showed that three months after analyzing ads, students were still choosing healthier snacks: milk instead of sugary juices, fruit over cookies. “Kids are becoming aware of themselves as agents in the world,” Bryan says. “They see a chance to make the world a better place.”
8 What are the researchers trying to do with this experiment
A. To teach kids to design unreal ads. B. To help kids to perform better at school.
C. To draw public attention to kids’ education. D. To change the way kids think about junk food.
9. How do food companies get kids to buy their products
A. They sell their products at a discount. B. They use various attractive advertising.
C They try to influence kids’ parents. D. They increase the quantity of their products.
10. How did students conduct the experiment led by Bryan
A. By correcting unreal advertisements. B. By offering suggestions to food industry.
C. By making up their own advertisements. D. By studying industry advertising strategies.
11. How does Bryan feel about students’ choices after three months
A. Indifferent. B. Neutral. C. Satisfied. D. Critical.
D
You are just waking up in the spring of 2030. Your Internet of Things (IoT) bedroom opens solar-powered e-windows and plays gentle music while your smart lighting displays a montage (蒙太奇) of beachfront sunrises from your recent vacation.
Your shower uses very little water or soap. It recycles your grey water and puts the extra heat back into your home’s integrated operating system. While you dress, your artificial intelligence (AI) assistant shares your schedule for the day and plays your favourite tunes.
You still start your day with caffeine but it comes from your IoT refrigerator which is capable of providing a coffeehouse experience in your home. A hot breakfast tailored to your specific nutritional needs (based on chemical analysis from your trips to the “smart toilet”) is waiting for you in the kitchen.
When it’s time to leave, an on-demand transport system has three cars waiting for you, your spouse and your kids. On the road, driverless cars and trucks move with mathematical precision, without traffic jams. Accident rates are near zero.
On route, you call your R&D team, who are wrapping up a day’s work in Shanghai. Your life-sized image will be projected, making your colleagues see you as if you were sitting with them. It’s a bit surreal (超现实的) for them to see you in the morning light given that it’s dark on the Bund, Shanghai’s water-front, though the novelty fades after a few uses.
You review the day’s cloud-based data from your Shenzhen manufacturing centre your pilot project in San Diego, and your QA team in Melbourme. The massive datasets are collected in realtime from every piece of equipment and have been beautifully summarized by your company’s AI. All these facilities are closely maintained and operated via a skilled predictive analytics platform. Pleased with the team’s progress, you end the call and ease into a good book.
This is the future and it will be here sooner than you think.
12. What will happen when you dress yourself according to the text
A. Your breakfast is ordered and served. B. E-windows open quickly.
C. Your favourite songs are played. D. Your schedule is sent to your boss.
13. What does the underlined word “tailored” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Produced specially. B. Made in advance.
C. Mixed similarly. D. Changed randomly.
14. Why can your colleagues see you as if you were sitting face to face though you are at home
A. Because you did it beforehand. B. Because you were on the scene.
C. Because your images are wrapped up. D. Because your life-sized picture is projected.
15. What is the best title of the passage
A. Why We Need AI Assistants B. How Life Will Be in the Future
C. How AI Helps Us Succeed D. How AI Does Meaningful Work

Edward O. Wilson, known as “ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination with ants and their social structures.
Wilson earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph. D. from Harvard and worked there until retirement.
Wilson’s early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: how ants communicate through the release of chemical signals. Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bert Holldobler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects’ social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to general readers.
Another of Wilson’s major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacAr-thur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species.
What many consider to be Wilson’s most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic roots of animal behavior and argued that genes shaped human behavior. Wilson faced accusations for these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Hu-man Nature, which won him a Pulitzer (普利策奖) in 1979.
Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. These achievements offered him a type of superstar status, but friends and colleagues say the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “Professor Wilson really listened and engaged with whomever he was interacting with,” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson’s final advisees.
4. What contributed to Wilson’s passion for ants
A. His disability. B. His boyhood time spent in nature.
C. The school education he received. D. The discovery he made about ants.
5. What is Wilson’s first Pulitzer-winning book about
A. The social structure of ants.
B. The distribution of different species.
C. The links between biology and human culture.
D. The role of chemical signals in communication.
6. According to the last paragraph, which word best describes Wilson
A. Imaginative. B. Independent. C. Open-minded. D. Modest.
7. Where can we read this passage
A. A science magazine. B. A health report.
C. A film review. D. A travel guidebook.

Food companies engineer junk food to make it addictive. They label their products to make them seem much healthier than they are. And their advertisements target children.
All of this is according to a news report read recently by students in a Texas middle school. They were taking part in an experiment run by the University of Chicago and the University of Texas. Researchers had students learn about food-industry advertising strategies. They wanted to know if learning about them would change how kids feel about junk food. All over the world, kids are eating more foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat. That is partly the result of clever ads that make junk food panies use varying strategies. An ad with cartoon characters may make cereal seem fun to eat. A professional athlete enjoying a sugary drink may make it look cool. Advertisers know that if kids want a product, they’ll beg their parents to buy it.
Christopher J. Bryan led the study. He says that when kids question the motives behind junk-food ads, they feel like they’re fighting injustice. “The reward is knowing you’re doing the right thing,” he says. In the Texas study, Bryan had students view ads on an iPad. Their job was to write or draw on the screen, to make each ad’s message true. For example, a McDonald’s ad showed a Big Mac and the words. “The thing you want when you order salad.” To the end of the sentence, a student added “should be salad.”
The results of Bryan’s Texas study were published in April. They showed that three months after analyzing ads, students were still choosing healthier snacks: milk instead of sugary juices, fruit over cookies. “Kids are becoming aware of themselves as agents in the world,” Bryan says. “They see a chance to make the world a better place.”
8. What are the researchers trying to do with this experiment
A. To teach kids to design unreal ads. B. To help kids to perform better at school.
C. To draw public attention to kids’ education. D. To change the way kids think about junk food.
9. How do food companies get kids to buy their products
A. They sell their products at a discount. B. They use various attractive advertising.
C. They try to influence kids’ parents. D. They increase the quantity of their products.
10. How did students conduct the experiment led by Bryan
A. By correcting unreal advertisements. B. By offering suggestions to food industry.
C. By making up their own advertisements. D. By studying industry advertising strategies.
11. How does Bryan feel about students’ choices after three months
A. Indifferent. B. Neutral. C. Satisfied. D. Critical.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He says that when kids question the motives behind junk-food ads, they feel like they’re fighting injustice. “The reward is knowing you’re doing the right thing,” he says. In the Texas study, Bryan had students view ads on an iPad. Their job was to write or draw on the screen, to make each ad’s message true. For example, a McDonald’s ad showed a Big Mac and the words. “The thing you want when you order salad.” To the end of the sentence, a student added “should be salad.”(他说,当孩子们质疑垃圾食品广告背后的动机时,他们觉得自己是在与不公正作斗争。他说:“回报是你知道自己在做正确的事情。”在德克萨斯的研究中,布莱恩让学生们在iPad上看广告。他们的工作是在屏幕上书写或绘画,使每个广告的信息真实。例如,麦当劳的广告展示了一个巨无霸和下面的文字。“你点沙拉时想要的东西。”在这句话的末尾,一个学生加上了“应该是沙拉”)”可知,学生们通过纠正虚假广告进行布莱恩领导的实验。故选A。
【11题详解】

A hot breakfast tailored to your specific nutritional needs (based on chemical analysis from your trips to the “smart toilet”) is waiting for you in the kitchen.
When it’s time to leave, an on-demand transport system has three cars waiting for you, your spouse and your kids. On the road, driverless cars and trucks move with mathematical precision, without traffic jams. Accident rates are near zero.
On route, you call your R&D team, who are wrapping up a day’s work in Shanghai. Your life-sized image will be projected, making your colleagues see you as if you were sitting with them. It’s a bit surreal (超现实的) for them to see you in the morning light given that it’s dark on the Bund, Shanghai’s water-front, though the novelty fades after a few uses.
You review the day’s cloud-based data from your Shenzhen manufacturing centre your pilot project in San Diego, and your QA team in Melbourme. The massive datasets are collected in realtime from every piece of equipment and have been beautifully summarized by your company’s AI. All these facilities are closely maintained and operated via a skilled predictive analytics platform. Pleased with the team’s progress, you end the call and ease into a good book.
This is the future and it will be here sooner than you think

【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了纸灯笼的历史和特点。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:数百年来,它们一直被用来装饰节日和其他重要场合的房间。occasion“场合”,可数名词,other“其他的”后接可数名词复数,故填occasions。
【43题详解】

【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:由于纸灯笼的覆盖很薄,所以灯笼点燃时非常漂亮。due to“由于”,固定短语,故填to。
【45题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:不同的绘画和图案附着在薄的覆盖,使灯笼更有吸引力。主语“Different paintings and designs”和动词attach之间是被动关系,且句子是描述一个客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数,故填are attached。
【46题详解】
考查冠词。句意:传统上唯一不用于制作纸灯笼的颜色是白色;在许多亚洲文化中,它经常被用来纪念死者。此处是“the+形容词”的用法,表示一类人,the dead“死者”,故填the。
【47题详解】

【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:今天,除非使用的纸是防火的,否则很难看到装蜡烛的纸灯笼。动词use和paper之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词作后置定语,故填used。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:所以在现代,为了安全起见,人们经常使用小电灯而不是蜡烛来避免可能发生的火灾。结合句意可知,此处表示目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语,故填to avoid。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章记述了“我”和妈妈义务清理街道垃圾的经历。
【详解】1.考查连词。句意;上周一,我和妈妈正在散步,这时我注意到人行道上有一些垃圾。固定句型sb. was/were doing...when...(某人正在做……,这时……)。故将while改为when。
2.考查介词。句意:上周一,我和妈妈正在散步,这时我注意到人行道上有一些垃圾。last Monday前不需要用介词。故去掉last前的on。
3.考查代词。句意:所以在回家的路上,我们决定做一些清理工作。根据主语we可知,此处是指在“我们”回家的路上,所以应用形容词性物主代词our表示“我们的”。故将their改为our。
4.考查动词不定式。句意:所以在回家的路上,我们决定做一些清理工作。decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”,所以此处应用to do不定式作宾语。故将doing改为do。
5.考查时态。句意:我拿着一个拾荒器,妈妈拿着一个大垃圾袋。根据“I took a picker”可知,谓语动词hold应用一般过去时。故将hold改为held。
6.考查形容词。句意:我很惊讶袋子这么快就装满了。此处是指“我”很惊讶,所以应用说明人的-ed形容词surprised表示“惊讶的”。surprising意为“令人惊讶的”说明物。故将surprising改为surprised。
7.考查代词。句意:然后我们把它扔进路边的垃圾箱,重复这个过程两次。根据前文“the bag filled up so quickly”可知,此处是指把袋子扔进垃圾箱,所以应用代词it代指前文中的the bag。故在into前加it。
8.考查可数名词的单复数。句意:然后我们把它扔进路边的垃圾箱,重复这个过程两次。此处time意为“次数”,为可数名词,在two more后应用复数形式。故将time改为times。
9.考查名词。句意:知道我们为地球母亲尽了自己的一份力,我们感到很有成就感。在介词of后应用名词achievement表示“成就”作宾语。故将achieve改为achievement。
10.考查副词。句意:我们决定坚持这样做,也许每周一次。此处修饰动词do应用副词consistently表示“持续地”作状语。故将consistent改为consistently。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Tom,
I am sorry to hear that you often sleep in class. Perhaps you don’t know that sleeping in class does harm to you. Now let me throw light on it.
Sleeping in class does terrible harm. Firstly, if a student sleeps in class, he or she can not gain knowledge from their teachers or any books. As a result, they are to fail to pass the college entrance examination in two years. Secondly, the students who always sleep in class make a bad impression on other students. Last but not least, those who sleep in class may have more chances to catch a cold, which affects their health.
In my opinion, as students, we should concentrate on listening to our teachers in class. If some of us are sleepy in class, we may keep standing for a while as well until we’re energetic.
I hope my advice will work for you.
Yours,
Li Hua
