Plan a literary tour of Britain to visit the places that shaped your favorite authors’ lives and inspired their stories. It’s a new way to get off the usual tourist routine.Jane AustenThough Bath proudly claims Jane Austen as a favorite resident due to its Georgian charm, Jane found true happiness in Chawton Cottage, where she published one of her most famous novels, Pride and Prejudice. Tourists can explore this historic cottage with guided tours.William WordsworthIf, like the 19th-century Romantic poet William Wordsworth, the sight of a field of golden daffodils (水仙花) has ever cheered your lonely hours, visit Dove Cottage in Grasmere. The well-known poem, Lonely as a Cloud, was penned when having a walk with Dorothy in the Lake District. The modest cottage, now owned by the Wordsworth Trust (信托基金), offers guided tours.Agatha ChristieThe UK’s“Queen of Crime”, Agatha Christie, was born in Torquay. Every year, the town celebrates the creator of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple with a festival that features talks, music shows and plays. When you visit the house, you can immerse yourself in the Christie mystery by exploring her collections and even booking a room on the top floor.Charles DickensBorn in Portsmouth, Dickens spent part of his childhood living near the Chatham Dockyards in Kent. Despite his time in London, Kent is the county most associated with the author of Oliver Twist and dozens of other familiar stories. He spent his final 14 years at Gads Hill Place in Gravesend, now a private school that can be visited in groups, by arrangement.21.

But as a honey bee researcher, I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is reasonable. Although they are important for agriculture, honey bees also damage natural ecosystems by competing with native bees — some of which are species at risk.The rise in hobby beekeeping as a hobby, now a popular activity for hundreds of thousands of Americans, followed strong awareness campaigns to “save the bees.” But as a species, honey bees are least in need of saving. Media attention unfairly covers them over native bees, and vaguemessaging has led many citizens — myself once included — to believe they are doing a good thing for the environment by putting on a beekeeper’s facemask. Unfortunately, they are probably doing more harm than good.“Beekeeping is for people; it’s not a conservation practice,” says Sheila Colla, an assistant profe ssor and conservation biologist at Toronto’s York University, Canada. “People mistakenly think keeping honey bees, or helping honey bees, is somehow helping the native bees, which are at risk of extinction.” She is frustrated at the improper attention on s aving honey bees when, from a conservationist’s point of view, native bees are the ones in more need of support.For some reason, maybe because they are small, honey bees are not generally viewed as the massively distributed livestock (牲畜) animal that they are. There are millions of honey bee colonies in North America, 2.8 million of which are in the U. S. Approximating around 30,000 bees per colony, that’s roughly a billion honey bees in Canada and the U.S. alone — almost three times the number of people. High densities of honey bee colonies increase competition between native bees, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline.I used to believe that honey bees were a gateway species, and that concern over their health and development would spill over onto native bees, benefitting them, too. While this may have happened in some cases, evidence is increasing that misguided enthusiasm for honey bees has likely been to the native bees’ damage. Beekeeping doesn’t make me feel good, anymore. In fact, quite the opposite.24. What contributes to the popularity of beekeeping in America?A．It is easy to keep honey bees at home than native bees.B．Lots of TV shows advertise the benefits of honey bees.C．Beekeeping can improve the local agriculture productivity.D．Some activities have encouraged people to protect the bees.25. What is Colla’s opinion on beekeeping?A．Beekeeping can help the owner earn a great sum of money.B．People hold wrong ideas about the benefits of beekeeping.C．Beekeeping can protect native bees from extinction.D．Beekeeping is good for the natural environment.26. Why does the author mention the number of honey bees in paragraph 4?A．To clarify that honey bees are small in size.B．To show that native bees are in danger of extinction.C．To prove a misconception of honey bee populations.D．To confirm North America as the major honey bee habitat.27. What do the underlined words “a gateway species” probably mean?A．A common species. B．A beneficial species.C．A damaging species. D．An endangered species.12 months before Sydney’s 2000 Olympic Games, Eric Moussambani had never set foot outside of his home country in Africa, the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea where most citizens get by on less than one dollar a day.Having secured his entry into the Games with the help of a wild card (非正常参赛资格), Moussambani set about teaching himself to swim. The only pool available belonged to a local hotel, and they allowed him to use it between 5 and 6 a.m., just three times a week. Before Sydney, he had never set eyes on an Olympic pool, let alone swum in one.Moussambani had no coach, no lanes, and no way of tracking his efforts. His training was further disturbed by a communication breakdown that led him to believe he had been entered into the 50m race, not the 100m endurance test he would actually be competing in.And the day finally came. The poor swimmer captured the hearts of the Australian audience, and although he flagged in the second half of the race, with commentator Adrian Moorhouse remarking that “this guy doesn’t look like he’s going to make it”, he completed the heat with a time of 1 minute and 53 seconds.It was the slowest time in Olympic history, but a personal best.International media dubbed him ‘Eric the eel’ and he was praised as the symbol of the Olympic ideal that it’s not the winning, but the taking part that counts.When he was interviewed, still dripping from his exhausting feat, Moussambani remarked. “The first 50 meters were OK, but in the second 50 meters I got a bit worried and thought I wasn’t going to make it. Then something happened. I think it was all the people getting behind me. I was really, really proud. It’s still a great feeling for me and I loved when everyone applauded me at the end. I felt like I had won a medal or something.”28. What can we learn about Moussambani?A．He was coached by a former athlete.B．He came from a poor African country.C．He was trained for 100m endurance test.D．He practiced for an hour every day to prepare.29. What’s the commentator’s attitude towards Moussambani’s performance?A．Indifferent. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Sympathetic. 30. Why was Moussambani regarded as a symbol of Olympic ideal?A．Because he put forth his best effort.B．Because he won an Olympic medal.C．Because he earned Olympic official entry.D．Because he was discouraged as a swimmer.31. What can we learn from Moussambani’s story?A．Practice makes perfect.B．All roads lead to Rome.C．It’s never too late to start.D．To fight well, not to conquer.In August, Jason M. Allen’s piece “Theatre D’opéra Spatial” — which he created with AI image generator Midjourney —won first place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. The definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what, exactly, it means to be an artist and whether A I can truly make art. “It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics,” one Twitter user wrote. “Exciting times ahead for the world of art and innovation!” another tweeted.Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush, the re was plenty of work involved, he said. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets, in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costuming with space themes. Over time, with many slight changes to his written instructions, he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image. Then he improved the picture’s quality through Gigapixel AI and finally had the images printed.Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention. “Rather than hating on the technology, we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said.Cal Duran, one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI, he didn’t realize that when judging it. Still, he sticks by his decision to award it first place. “I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventio nal way,” he said.32. What do we know about Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition?A．It was held for well-established artists.B．It welcomed digital technology use.C．It had a division for AI art pieces.D．It was funded by Midjourney.33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Allen finished part of the drawing by hand.B．Changes of description led to different results.C．Allen’s attempt achieved immediate success.D．Gigapixel AI transferred words into pictures.34. What was Cal Duran’s opinion on AI use in Art?A．It will replace artists in the near future.B．It becomes a popular tool among artists.C．It is widely criticized by Twitter users.D．It makes art more accessible to people.35. What is the passage mainly about?A．A famous art competition.B．The trend of AI use in arts.C．The winning of an AI-driven picture.D．Start-up photographers’ innovation.We all have childhood best friends and we often assume that these persons would still be our friends when we are all grown-ups and even until the day we die. 36 . However, most people just grow apart and sadly, some childhood best friends just become people who used to know each other.37 . There are many reasons why a best friend from childhood can be forgotten. One of the most common reasons would be distance. Moving away and growing apart from each other can have the biggest effect on friendships.Another reason why we may forget our best friend is that we meet new best friends. The friends we made when we were young may not share the same interests that we have when we reach the teenage years. 38 . We find new people who share our new interests and leave behind people who no longer have things in common with us.39 . We make new best friends in high school and some in college. These friendships are often the ones that last the longest.If we are lucky enough to have the gift of friendship, we must make sure that we do not lose it. 40 . If we want to keep our friends in our lives, we must do more than look back upon the past and make an active effort to maintain our relationship with our friends. It could be a call, a text, or even an e-mail.I’ve been working as a UN Peacekeeper in the Central African Republic for the past two years. Before this, I was a pilot and I ________ my work.

Some take over-the- counter (非非非非) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (非非) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral (非非非非) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (非非), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus (非非非) A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(1)What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They still need to be improved.D.They actually have no effect.(2)How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(4)What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses13.（6分）Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher rs Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light withoutsacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1.What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Cheap.B.Durable.C.Sustainable.D.Transparent.2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B.Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C.The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D.The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The bright future of the transparent wood.B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）14.（10分）When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.2 In the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.Use social media wisely.Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.Be skeptical. 4 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren’t always ready to digest big tragic news--especially if the news is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong.B.It also can be the source of misinformation.C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your opinion.G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）15.（20分）In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night.
