Things to Do in London This Weekend

Now, some of the most cherished London venues have opened their doors again. Take a look at our lists of exactly what is opening up in London.

Columbia Road Flower Market

The Columbia Road Flower Market is reopening this weekend, but it will be quite different. Stands will be spread out. Nearby roads will be closed and there will be a limit on the number of people who can enter the market. The statement is also calling on locals to support the market but advises people not to visit frequently in order to avoid overcrowding.

Lambeth Country Show

The festival of countryside won't be held in its usual home of Brock well Park this year. However, it is being taken online instead. All your favourite aspects of the fair will be part of the virtual edition this weekend, including the highly popular Vegetable Sculpture Competition and other usual lower show competitions, local-themed talks, craft market and virtual music performances.

Walthamstow Garden Party

The free two-day festival in E17 is going online this year. Over the weekend you can tune in to music and take part in online workshops from crafting to Tai Chi. Don't miss the highlight of the weekend: East London Radio's first-ever live show taking place across the weekend with behind-the-scenes chats with local artists, live music from St Mary's Church and much more.

Brixton Courtyard

Want to have a better sleep?You may just need more noise. While that may sound strange, it is scientifically proven that certain types of noise can help you get some sleep. Thinking of it this way: When you are lying in bed,every single noise---from the creak (嘎吱声） of the bed to a whistle in your partner's nose-may keep you awake. But some types of noise, specifically white, pink and Brown noise, can mask these sounds, creating a more harmonious background.

White noise contains sounds of all frequencies that humans can hear. But it comes across as a high-pitched buzz(声调高的嗡嗡声）。 That's because of the way your ears hear it. Basically,your brain strengthens sounds in higher pitched frequencies. So while you may be hearing sounds from a variety of frequencies, the highest ones tend to drown(淹没）the lower pitched notes.

Pink noise takes the human tendency to hear only some frequencies into account and balances out the noise so that sounds of all frequencies are heard equally. The higher the frequency, the more its volume is weakened. To your ears, the sound is deeper and softer than white noise.

In a study at China's Peking University, researchers found that when participants were exposed to either pink noise or no noise during nighttime sleep and naps,75% reported more restful sleep with the pink noise. Brain activity monitors confirmed this, showing that participants had 23% more restful brain activity at night with pink noise and 45% more restful sleep during naps.

Brown noise takes this concept to the next level, further weakening higher frequency noise to produce an even deeper and richer sound. It's not named after the color brown but rather after the botanist Robert Brown, who in the 1800s discovered random particle motion(随机粒子运动）． Brown noise is similar to random particle motion in that the changes in sound signals from one moment to the next occur randomly.

When it comes right down to it,the color of noise that will help you sleep mostly is the one you like best. While pink noise and Brown noise are deeper and more balanced than white noise, your personal sleep preferences will dictate which one gives you the best sleep.

24.How can some noise help us have a better sleep?

A.By making us think of some special colors.   

B.By confusing our brain with different colors.

C.By reducing the effects of disturbing sounds. 

D.By copying the sounds that we are familiar with.

25. What is special about white noise?

A. It sounds louder than it really is.

B.It leaves low-frequency sounds out.

C. It protects ears from high-pitched sounds.

D.It makes sounds of all frequencies heard equally.

26.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 5?

A. Brown noise and pink noise work in a similar way.

B. Brown noise was first discovered by Robert Brown.

C.People cannot have a good sleep without pink noise.

D.People benefit more from pink noise at night than in the daytime.

27.What does the underlined word “dictate” in the last paragraph most probably mean?

A.Explain.   B.Classify.      C.Remind.          D.Determine.

.                             C

For millions of years, Arctic sea ice has expanded and shrunk in a rhythmic dance with the summer sun. Humans evolved in this icy world, and civilization relied on it for climatic, ecological and political stability. But now the world comes ever closer to a future without ice. The National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that 2019’s minimum arctic sea ice extent was the second lowest on record. Arctic summers could become mostly ice-free in 30 years, and possibly sooner if current trends continue. As the northern sea ice declines, the world must unite to preserve what remains of the Arctic.

Although most people have never seen the sea ice, its effects are never far away. By reflecting sunlight, Arctic ice acts as Earth’s air conditioner. Once dark water replaces brilliant ice, Earth could warm substantially, equivalent to the warming caused by the additional release of a trillion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and declining sea ice threatens wildlife, from the polar bear to algae that grow beneath the sea ice, supporting the large amount of marine life.

To avoid the consequences the scientific community should advocate not just for lowering greenhouse gas emissions, but also for protecting the Arctic from exploitation. The Antarctic shows the way. In the 1950s, countries raced to claim the Antarctic continent for resources and military installations. Enter the scientists. The 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year brought together scientists from competing countries to study Antarctica, and countries temporarily suspended their territorial disputes (争议). In 1959, 12 countries signed the Antarctic Treaty to preserve the continent for peaceful scientific discovery rather than territorial and military gain.

Sixty years later, we must now save the Arctic. A new Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary (MAPS) Treaty would protect the Arctic Ocean as a scientific preserve for peaceful purposes only. Similar to Antarctica, MAPS would prohibit resource exploitation, commercial fishing and shipping, and military exercises. So far, only 2 non-Arctic countries have signed MAPS; 97 more need to sign on to enact it into law. Scientists can help—just as they did for the Antarctic—by giving statements of support, asking scientific organizations to endorse (支持) the treaty, communicating the importance of protecting the arctic to the public and policy-makers, and above all, by convincing national leaders to sign the treaty. In particular, Arctic nations must agree that recognizing the arctic as an international preserve is better than fighting over it. In 2018, these countries successfully negotiated a 16-year moratorium on commercial fishing in the Arctic high seas, demonstrating that such agreements are possible.

Humans have only ever lived in a world topped by ice. Can we now work together to protect Arctic ecosystems, keep the northern peace, and allow the sea ice to return?

28. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Wildlife relies on sea ice for food and water.

B. The Arctic would be ice-free in 30 years.

C. Sea ice slows down the global warming.

D. The melting of sea ice releases CO2.

29. The Antarctic is mentioned in the passage in order to ________.

A. remind readers of the past of the Antarctic

B. propose a feasible approach for the Arctic

C. stress the importance of preserving sea ice

D. recall how the Antarctic Treaty came into being

30. The word “moratorium” (in paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to ________.

A. battle B. ban

C. memo D. protection

31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. Antarctic: a Successful Comeback?    B. Sea Ice and Global Warming

C. Arctic: the Earth’s Future    D. Life Without Ice?

D

When it comes to being fit and healthy, we're often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we're busy with work and other commitments---and yet where did this number actually come from?

The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called "Manpo-kei", which translates to "10,000 steps meter". This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It's even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.

Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4,400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it's uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it's one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.

    Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you're walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize(新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person's likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.

If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you're working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk -- rather than in a cafe or pub -- can also be useful.    

32. What does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day?

  A. It is an upsetting target to achieve.       B. It is likely to go out of style quickly.

C. It is a rising tendency of mental health    D. It is effective in reducing pressure on work.

33. What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target?

A. It matters as much as 7500 steps a day.

B. The more steps, the lower risk of death.

C. A bit more than the target can improve health.

D. About half that target appears to be beneficial.

34. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?

  A. Absence of previous research.

B. Recent findings of fat buildup.

  C. Problems of less daily walking.

D. Possible causes of physical challenges.

35. Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage？

  A. Working at home.                 B. Treating friends in a cafe or pub.

  C. Driving to work.     D. Signing up for online exercise programs.

第二节  七选五阅读理解（满分12.5分 共5题 每题2.5分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Mold is unpleasant because of how it looks and smells. Some people have the habit of removing mold from food in order to consume the unaffected rest.    36   

Removing the moldy parts doesn’t guarantee that the toxins(毒素) present in the product will be removed completely. Therefore, they can cause illness or food poisoning. Only hard and dry foods can be consumed once the moldy part has been removed. Therefore, you should completely throw away soft and moist foods in this situation.    37   We can’t afford to ignore the presence of molds on the surface and inside products. However it’s okay to eat cured meat products, firm fruits, and vegetables.

   38     Many of these have to do with the consumption of raw foods that haven’t undergone the appropriate processes. For example, eat some fruits without washing them thoroughly. Some chemicals are often added to them while they are being grown or processed. Besides, consuming raw or undercooked white fish, without prior freezing, also increases the risk of contamination(污染) with anisakis.    39     Experts usually recommend unfreezing products in the refrigerator. This prevents temperatures that are favorable for bacterial growth.

In addition, you must take care when handling raw foods and cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination. Cross-contamination can occur through indirect spread of microorganisms by equipment, food handlers, cook facilities or surfaces.   40     Microorganisms could pass from one to the other and certain microorganisms cause most types of food poisoning. After entering the body, these living things release poisons that make people sick.

A. These problems exist everywhere.

B. There are other dangerous situations

C. You should never use the same tools.

D. Food unfreezing processes are a critical point.

E. Therefore, many think it can be a common problem.

F. However, many are unaware this could lead to illness.

G. You should never eat bread that have developed mold.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

Last December, on a Saturday afternoon, three kids were laughing as they took turns riding a

scooter (滑板车) on their quiet street in Wichita Falls, Texas. 11-year- old TJ Smith had just jumped

off the scooter as his neighbor Kim, age 7, claimed her turn and her sister Julie, 9, looked on. Kim

stood on the scooter and paused to catch her breath. That was when the bearded man with a head of

messy curls appeared. The kids didn't see where he came from, but they knew exactly what

happened next: Without uttering a word, he picked Kim up off the scooter and calmly walked away.

"He cradled her like a baby and just walked down the street," says TJ. In fact, the calm way the man held Kim led TJ to believe he must have been a relative. But something wasn't right. “I could see her face, TJ said. "She was scared."

Kim's fear increased and cried for help. She began kicking and failing, trying to get free of the

man's grip. “What are you doing?" Julie shouted. But the man, unfazed (泰然自若的), walked the

length of the block until he reached an alley and disappeared.

TJ's first impulse was to chase after them. But what was a four-toot-tall, 70-pound kid going to do to stop a grown man?“ I wanted to help, but I couldn't do it myself," he says. So he ran to his

grown-up neighbor, Brad Ware's home.

“Brad!" yelled TJ. “A man just picked up Kim and took her into the alley!" And just like that,

TJ was gone, back on the street sprinting after his abducted (被劫持的) little friend. “I ran back to

where I saw him take her to see if they were still there," says TJ. Ware jumped into the car and

trailed close behind.

TJ ran to the end of the street and turned the corner. He had no idea what to expect or who

might be waiting for him. But he needed to find Kim.

Once TJ hit the alley, he spotted the man a couple of blocks down, standing in front of an

abandoned white house. He was pushing the panicked girl through a window.

67.One possible version:

Just then, Ware pulled up. “Stay here,” Ware told TJ as he took off toward the house. With Ware now bearing down on him, the man let go of Kim in the window frame and walked away, almost calmly, before breaking into a run. Ware caught up with him. They struggled. Ware kicked the man and wrapped him in his arms. The man got rid of Ware and fled across the street. Ware chased after him and took hold of him when he tripped over.

Alerted by Julie and other neighbors, the police and Kim’s mother had arrived on the scene. Kim dashed into the safety of her mother’s arms, and the two cried and hugged. Meanwhile, officers arrested the kidnapper. Later, this incident was reported. Though admitted that he was scared, TJ said he never thought about the danger to himself. Ware insisted that the quick-thinking 11-year-old boy deserves most of the credit. “You know, it’s his bravery that saves a little girl from the unimaginable,” Ware told the press.
