The Writer’s Map, £30 (enjoying a 5% discount) The Writer’s Map combines maps and literature. Many writers use maps to plan out their stories. This book collects maps that appear in fiction and non-fiction. JRR Tolkien, a fantasy novel writer, said, “The fact that many books choose to contain one map is evidence to the importance of maps. I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit.” Brutalist London Map, £8 (enjoying a 5% discount) You either love it or you hate it. Said to have been coined (创造) in the late 1950s from the French raw concrete, brutalism (野兽派艺术) was a big influence on the 1960s London’s finest examples of brutalism. Brutalism maps of other cities, including Paris, Washington and Sydney, are also available.

I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago, when I left Canada for a4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre, a Ph.D. student, tapped me on my shoulder and asked, “Coffee?” I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filing in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you’re going through.The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, I’d keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldn’t exactly copy the results of another study. I didn’t want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.How much we were missing! Researchers need community because good ideas don’t just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts. It’s helpful to bounce ideas off others, and, to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life.Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems? Probably not. But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma. My time in France has taught me that it’s important to create space for organic conversations about lab life. A scientist’s life can feel isolating, but it’s not necessarily so when you’re connected to a supportive community.24. How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France?A. Somewhat excited. B. Very happy.C. A little nervous. D. Quite curious.25. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk aboutA. The benefits of coffee breaks B. Cultural ceremonies in France. C. Various topics of the chatter. D. Lab culture in French style.26. What was the author’s life like back in Canada?A. Comfortable and fulfilled. B. Boring but healthy.C. Tense but satisfactory. D. Busy and lonely.27. Why does the author write this passage?A. To introduce the coffee break in Europe.B. To convey the importance of a supportive circle.C. To explain the difference between cultures.D To recall his personal experience in France.CBikes are the most common means of transportation in our daily life, but have you ever noticed that a man’s bike is quite different from a woman’s bike? The traditional difference between a man’s bike and a woman’s bike is the top tube design. A man’s bike would have a top tube going straight from the top of the head tube to the top of the seat tube, while a woman’s bike would have a top tube that connected to the seat tube somewhere lower down. This was originally to make it possible to ride a bike while wearing a skirt without exposing any morally offending body parts while mounting the bike. A consequence of this is that traditional women’s frames are weaker than men’s, which is why performance-oriented bikes all look the same regardless of the gender of the rider. If you’re looking for a performance-based difference, then women often have shorter upper bodies and arms than men, so some manufacturers adapt to that by building frames with shorter top tubes. Others merely think a “cute” paint scheme (组合) on the smaller sizes of their standard frames will be called a woman’s bike. Do note that the difference from one person to another can easily be bigger than the differences between the man’s bike and the woman’s bike standard. There are also a few other ways of fitting a bike to the rider. For example, handlebars can be replaced for some adjustments of riding position. While it’s nice to have a well-fitting bike, for an ordinary rider it’s not as important for a MTB (山地车) as it is for a road bike. On a MTB the rider spends more time out of the saddle (鞍). While riding a road bike the rider spends more time on the saddle, so the position has to fit better. And if it’s just for wandering around the block, then most riders would prefer a “woman’s” bike. They will usually provide a more upright riding position, which is more comfortable for casual riding.28. What is the traditional difference between a man’s bike and a woman’s bike?A. The design of paint. B. The design of saddle.C. The design of top tube. D. The design of handlebars. 29. Why does a woman’s bike have a lower-down top tube?A. To improve its safety. B. To decrease its weight.C. To make it more comfortable to ride.D. To avoid exposing some of the riders’ body parts.30. Why do most riders prefer a “woman’s” bike?A. A woman’s bike is much cheaper. B. A woman’s bike is easier to control.C. A woman’s bike is more fashionable. D. A woman’s bike is more comfortable.31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Safer, The BetterB. How to Choose Your Own BikeC. Differences Between Man’s Bikes And Woman’s BikesD. Let’s Protect The Environment by Riding Bikes Every DayDDisease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier. Even though DEET remains the most commonly usedand most powerfulmosquito repellent (防护剂) ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic (合成的) repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market. In my lab at Iowa State University, my team and I have been conducting research on natural products as possible insect repellents for the past 20 years. In the past few years, three of my Ph.D. students havecontributed greatly to our research by designing, synthesizing, purifying, characterizing and testing more than 300 closely related chemicals coming from the best of natural repellents like citronellol, menthol and thymol. These students have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, houses, barracks and horse barns. The other group of the new repellents are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; some researchers have conducted testing on some humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones. The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable (可生物降解的), with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence. 32. What does the author mainly want to show in Paragraph 1? A. The way mosquitoes spread disease. B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness. C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes. D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes. 33. What is a disadvantage of DEET? A. It causes discomfort to the users. B. It greatly harms people’s health. C. It can’t be applied universally. D. It won’t be effective for long. 34. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents? A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly. B. They are mainly used in the open air. C. They are more effective on human skin. D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users. 35. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents? A. Disapproving B. Negative C. Objective D. Subjective 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is nothing worse than sitting for an exam and your mind going completely blank. 36 Don’t worry because everything will eventually come back to you if you keep calm. Remaining calm is the most important thing at this time, because the more you panic the harder it will be for you to recover. 37 The fact that your mind has gone blank indicates that you are suffering under pressure so the first step towards recovery is to stop worrying about the exam. Think of things other than the exam. Think about a joke, a TV programme or a friend. 38 When you’ve calmed down you will be in a position to start getting your brain working again. The first thing to do is to read through the question again. If you’ve already answered some of it, you can read through your answer. 39 Then read through any other questions you’ve attempted. Think back to similar questions you’ve seen during your revision. Think of the books you read and try to picture your course notes and your revision notes in your mind. 40 This can help focus your mind on the relevant parts of your revision. You will notice that the basic technique for getting unstuck is to think of your revision and not of the question you are actually trying to attempt. In effect, you are trying to get into your memory via the back door. Normally this technique effectively gets you to spark the relevant memory areas with the hope that you will suddenly come across something relevant to the current problem. 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Over 48,000 orange trees spread all corners of Seville, Spain.
