In the summer of 1965, Tété-Michel Kpomassie became the first African to explore Greenland. He was 24 on the day that he stepped onto the port at Qagortoq, on Greenland’s southern coast. But his arctic journey had actually begun some seven years earlier.
Kpomassie’s amazing life story starts with a bit of chance and a book. He was a teenager when he bought a book about Greenland in Togo. Immediately, the topic attracted him, and he knew that he must go there.
He traveled along the west coast of Africa, eventually crossing into Europe. There, he stayed for some time before leaving for Greenland. “I took my time to step out,” he recalled. “When I arrived, everyone stopped talking; all were staring. They didn’t know if I was a real person or wearing a mask. Children hid behind their mothers. Some cried, believing I was a spirit from the mountains.”
Kpomassie found his true home in Greenland’s northern reaches, where the Inuit culture that he’d read in a book as a boy was very much alive. Over the next 18 months, Greenland’s first African learned to ski, ice fish and hunt, and adapted himself quickly to the new environment.
He returned to Togo in late 1966 and adapted the journal he’d kept into a book. Kpomassie then went on to give lectures about his experience in halls and classrooms throughout Africa and Europe. And he settled down in Paris and raised a family, returning to Greenland on three occasions in that time. His book An Africa in Greenland was first published in France and has since been translated into eight languages.
“All the while I knew where I ultimately needed to end up,” he said. Now approaching 81 years old, Kpomassie is packing up his apartment and heading back to northern Greenland, where he intends to live out his final years.
24. When did Kpomassie begin his first journey to Greenland?
A. In the 1940s. B. In the 1950s. C. In the 1960s. D. In the 1970s.
25. What can we infer about people from Para.3?
A. They were unfriendly to strangers.
B. They didn’t meet a black man before.
C. They taught Kpomassie eight languages.
D. They were unwilling to let Kpomassie go.
26. Which of the following can best describe Kpomassie?
A. Strong and determined.
B. Brave and hardworking.
C. Kind and ambitious.
D. Adventurous and adaptable.
27. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The unusual experience of an adventurer.
B. The opportunities of returning to Greenland.
C. The great effect Kpomassie has on literature.
D. The meaning of starting an amazing adventure.

SWG3 is a huge building which hosts major club nights in Glasgow, Scotland. Recently, it has applied a system called Bodyheat. The system creates renewable energy from the body heat on the building’s dance floor.
David Townsend, who designed the system, said, “You and I just stand here right now, and we’re producing about 100 to 150 watts of energy. When you start dancing, let’s say at a medium pace, you might be generating like 250 watts. And then if we’ve got a big DJ, absolutely playing basslines（低音旋律）and making everyone jump up and down, each of us could be producing 500 to 600 watts of heat energy.”
Dancers’ heat is then captured from the dance floor and transferred to a series of 200-meter-deep boreholes which can store heat like a battery. The heat energy then travels back to the heat pumps, is upgraded to a suitable temperature and sent back into SWG3. This will enable people to completely disconnect the venue’s gas boiler, reducing its carbon emissions by about 70 tons of CO2 a year.
The Bodyheat system costs over 600,000 pounds to set up. “If we were to apply the typical air conditioning that is usually used, our costs would probably be about 10% of that so 60,000 pounds,” SWG3 managing director Andrew Fleming-Brown said. “But in the long run, the savings on energy bills will get the spending back in about five years, depending on costs.”
“If we can make it work here in this environment, there’s no reason why we can’t take it to other venues, not just here in Scotland and the UK, but across Europe and further areas,” Fleming-Brown said, adding that introducing the system was a leap of faith and that the venue once promised to achieve “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2025.
Bodyheat has been made possible with support from the Scottish government and the money from a series of grants. An official in Glasgow said, “Storing the heat and playing it back is a major way that can positively influence the energy crisis in the UK and improve energy safety. This is a fantastic plan, where people really are making Glasgow greener while having a great time.”
28. How much energy can two people dancing at a medium pace make?
A. About 250 watts. B. About 500 watts.
C. About 200 to 300 watts. D. About 1,000 to 1,200 watts.
29. What is the function of the boreholes?
A. To store dancers’ heat.
B. To capture dancers’ heat.
C. To send heat energy back to SWG3
D. To upgrade heat energy to a suitable temperature.
30. What does Fleming-Brown think of their use of Bodyheat?
A. It is not safe. B. It is far-sighted.
C. It is double-edged. D. It is not cost-effective.
31. What may Fleming-Brown do in the future?
A. Support Bodyheat with grants.
B. Build more venues with Bodyheat.
C. Recommend Bodyheat to other venues.
D. Get involved in the research on Bodyheat.
D
A little creativity each day can go a long way towards happiness and pleasure in our daily life.
The researchers followed 658 people for about two weeks and found that doing small, everyday things like cooking and baking made them feel more relaxed and happier. By following diaries kept by the study subjects, the researchers found that besides feeling happier, people who worked on little creative projects every day also felt they were “flourishing”, a term that describes the feeling of personal growth. That could mean that the good feeling that comes with pulling the freshly-baked bread out of the oven could carry over into the next day, making that baker more likely to keep on with little acts of creative cooking.
This isn’t the first time researchers have connected making food with good feelings. In recent years, cooking and baking have been explored as a tool to help people deal with things like nervousness and worry. “When I’m in the kitchen, preparing things like sugar or butter I need or breaking the exact number of eggs, I am in control,” said baker John Whaite with mental disorder. “That’s really important as a key sign of my illness is a feeling of no control.”
“For people like Whaite, baking can help them by providing small tasks to focus on. To put together a good meal, cooks have to be continuously in the moment, adding seasonings and tasting their food to make sure everything will tick all the right boxes, all of which can be helpful methods of treating some forms of mental illness,” wrote Huma Qureshi.
A lot of us turn to baking when we’re feeling low. Some of us even start baking because they are ill and need something simple to focus. Baking may not be a basic cure for mental illness, but anyone in need of lifted spirits should consider it.
32. What were the subjects asked to do in the study?
A. To find ways to enjoy themselves.
B. To practise cooking and baking skills.
C. To invent new methods of baking bread.
D. To keep a record of their feelings every day.
33. What can we infer about Whaite from his words?
A. He has made great progress in baking by practising.
B. He feels nervous and worried when cooking.
C. He enjoys the feeling of being in control.
D. He takes pride in his cooking skills.
34. How could baking help people like Whaite according to Huma Qureshi?
A. By concentrating their mind.
B. By encouraging their creativity.
C. By giving them a sense of success.
D. By making them taste healthy food.
35. What does the underlined words mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. Check answers.
B. Choose right answers.
C. Do the right things to please somebody.
D. Do things in one’s own right.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从下面的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。
Scary movies are something you either really love or avoid at all costs. Generally, people should be running away from things that bring fear. 36 It is a little confusing. According to psychologist Brownlowe, there are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies.
People like the feeling they get when they’re scared.
Some people react differently to things that are scary. A study found that people who like scary movies tend to enjoy really strong feelings like fear. When you’re scared, your brain’s immediate response is to fight or flight ______ For example, your heart may race and your muscles may tense. It can even cause you to scream or jump. “Believe it or not, for some people, this is a lot of fun,” Brownlowe says.
It feels good to get through a scary movie.
38 According to Brownlowe, there’s a good reason why scary movies reduce nervousness. “The experience of your brain calming itself down after watching a scary movie is actually very dazzling,” Brownlowe says. “That’s because the dopamine（多巴胺）release causes an increased sense of well-being.” At the same time, it also feels good to go into an experience that seems scary or “risky” and then come out safe and sound. As Brownlowe says, “ 39 To some extent, it can make things that seemed challenging easier to deal with in the future.” For example, some people may find that after watching a Halloween Scare Fest, it’s not as scary to ask their boss for a raise, or to give a public speech.
40
Watching a scary movie is an ideal way to get closer to others. A study found that fear-arousing situations, like watching a scary movie, can increase the attraction between two people. Aside from increasing attraction, it can even bring you closer together. Some even think that scary movies touch a deeper part of our collective consciousness as humans. “It draws us closer when we have a shared experience of being terrified of the dark, or ghosts, or killers,” Brownlowe says.
A. It changes our attitudes to risk.
B. It’s a great way to make new friends.
C. People feel more connected to others.
D. It pushes people into choosing simple tasks.
E. When this happens, your entire body can react.
F. But scary movies have a way of drawing people in.
G. Some anxious people may find scary movies comforting.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Mom, what’s this?” my little daughter in the living room called and pointed to an instrument box. “Oh, it’s my flute（长笛）,” I said and opened it. There was the old silver flute that I played years ago. “Play it, Mom.” my daughter asked excitedly.
“Oh, I don’t know whether I’ve forgotten how to play it,” I said. Then, I was lost in thought. The flute carried me back to the days when I was thirteen. That year, because of my dad’s new job, in the middle term. I moved to a new school and left my old friends. Besides, I was a socially awkward girl. So in the new school, I became very lonely and bored.
Two weeks after I went there, the school band was wanting new members. I extremely wished to join it. I loved music. Joining the band could help change my boring school life. And I could meet people with the same hobby, which would be much easier for me to make new friends. But to join the band, each member needed to buy an instrument and take lessons to learn it. My family was on a tight budget at that time. So I didn’t think my parents would support my wish. Besides, I didn’t want to put further financial pressure on my parents.
That day, I arrived home after school, tired and sad. It was another tough day. My dad was reading the newspaper on the sofa “Hi,” he said. “Hi, Dad,” I answered softly. “What’s the matter?” he questioned, finding there was something wrong with me. “Nothing, Dad,” I replied. “Come over here,” he said, asking me to sit down beside him.
He looked at me as I sat down. Then, he talked with me, wishing to know what was troubling me. Still, I didn’t want to tell him about my loneliness at my new school and my big wish to join the band. However, after he kept asking. I finally told him. Not wanting him to feel stressed, I added I could ultimately deal with my problem without joining the band.

1.续写词数应为150左右：

Dear David,
I’m in charge of the School English Drama Club. I’m writing to invite you to join us in playing the drama Hamlet. I sincerely hope you can play one of the key roles, Hamlet.
The performance is organized to celebrate the Campus Culture Festival, which will be held next month. The rehearsal for our drama will take place from 6:30 pm to 7:10 pm every other day so that participants won’t have their study affected. We’ll rehearse the drama in our school hall. And our foreign teacher, Mr. White, will come to give us some practical guidance.
I’d appreciate it if you could accept my invitation. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Just as I finished my words, my dad dropped the paper and stood up. He said, “We’ll support you. Buying a flute is not a waste of money. It’s your chance to know your new school and friends better.” I couldn’t believe my ears. But soon, we reached one store, where I was attracted by the shiny instruments. I liked flutes most, so the manager opened a few different ones. “Which do you prefer?” my dad asked. “That one,” I said, pointing to the one that was so shiny and perfect. Hearing it, Dad immediately nodded and paid.
Paragraph 2:
Then, my dad and I walked out of the store, with me carrying the beautiful flute. My heart was filled with joy, not only for the new flute but also because I felt my father’s love. Soon, my boring life changed. I joined the school band and of course, I made new friends. “Please play it, Mom,” my daughter asked again, which brought me back to the moment. “OK. I’ll try,” I replied, running my hands over the flute slowly. Gladly, I didn’t forget how to play it. When the beautiful music sounded, I thought, “Thank you, Dad, for there was more to be treasured in that flute than met the eye.”

W: No. Was it a big one?
M: Yes. It had a magnitude of 7.5 and was felt nearly 800 kilometers away in the capital of Lima.
W: That’s terrible. Did it cause a lot of damage?
M: Luckily, it didn’t. ⑮though the quake was extremely strong, it was very deep. It measured 112 kilometers, so the possibility of damage was greatly reduced.
W: Then what effect did it have?
M: ⑯Part of a 16th-century church fell and three people were slightly injured. And some falling stones blocked several highways in the Cajamarca region in Peru.
W: Hope it will be fine. It seems earthquakes are common in Peru.
M: Yes. ⑰Most Peruvians are taught basic skills to deal with earthquakes from an early age.
W: That’s necessary. Our geography teacher once introduced many cases of earthquakes in her lecture to us. It’s terrifying.
M: Yeah. I hope one day modern technologies can help find a way to prevent serious damage in an earthquake.

W: For many preschool teachers, their work is tiring but meaningful. And mine is no exception. Morning is usually the busiest part of the day for a preschool teacher. ⑱You may have a bit of prep time, but almost immediately after arriving at work, you’re likely to be greeting children and trying to welcome them to school. That’s the most challenging moment for me because I have to make them excited to be there and feel OK about their parents being away from them. ⑲At our school, we start each day with circle time. We typically start by singing songs about greeting the day and each other, and about the seasons of the year. At this time of the day, I find myself really enjoying being around the kids. In elementary or high school, the class is around reading, history, and math. But in preschool, circle time is the meat and potatoes of the day. ⑳Although it might appear to be nothing more than singing and dancing, circle play actually helps develop various essential skills. Although my work is tiring, it’s pretty much impossible not to feel happy when you look at children around with big smiles on their faces. Do you agree with me?

In the summer of 1965, Tété-Michel Kpomassie became the first African to explore Greenland. He was 24 on the day that he stepped onto the port at Qagortoq, on Greenland’s southern coast. But his arctic journey had actually begun some seven years earlier.
Kpomassie’s amazing life story starts with a bit of chance and a book. He was a teenager when he bought a book about Greenland in Togo. Immediately, the topic attracted him, and he knew that he must go there.
He traveled along the west coast of Africa, eventually crossing into Europe. There, he stayed for some time before leaving for Greenland. “I took my time to step out,” he recalled. “When I arrived, everyone stopped talking; all were staring. They didn’t know if I was a real person or wearing a mask. Children hid behind their mothers. Some cried, believing I was a spirit from the mountains.”
Kpomassie found his true home in Greenland’s northern reaches, where the Inuit culture that he’d read in a book as a boy was very much alive. Over the next 18 months, Greenland’s first African learned to ski, ice fish and hunt, and adapted himself quickly to the new environment.
He returned to Togo in late 1966 and adapted the journal he’d kept into a book. Kpomassie then went on to give lectures about his experience in halls and classrooms throughout Africa and Europe. And he settled down in Paris and raised a family, returning to Greenland on three occasions in that time. His book An Africa in Greenland was first published in France and has since been translated into eight languages.
“All the while I knew where I ultimately needed to end up,” he said. Now approaching 81 years old, Kpomassie is packing up his apartment and heading back to northern Greenland, where he intends to live out his final years.
24. When did Kpomassie begin his first journey to Greenland?
A. In the 1940s. B. In the 1950s. C. In the 1960s. D. In the 1970s.
25. What can we infer about people from Para.3?
A. They were unfriendly to strangers.
B. They didn’t meet a black man before.
C. They taught Kpomassie eight languages.
D. They were unwilling to let Kpomassie go.
26. Which of the following can best describe Kpomassie?
A. Strong and determined.
B. Brave and hardworking.
C. Kind and ambitious.
D. Adventurous and adaptable.
27. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The unusual experience of an adventurer.
B. The opportunities of returning to Greenland.
C. The great effect Kpomassie has on literature.
D. The meaning of starting an amazing adventure.
C
SWG3 is a huge building which hosts major club nights in Glasgow, Scotland. Recently, it has applied a system called Bodyheat. The system creates renewable energy from the body heat on the building’s dance floor.
David Townsend, who designed the system, said, “You and I just stand here right now, and we’re producing about 100 to 150 watts of energy. When you start dancing, let’s say at a medium pace, you might be generating like 250 watts. And then if we’ve got a big DJ, absolutely playing basslines（低音旋律）and making everyone jump up and down, each of us could be producing 500 to 600 watts of heat energy.”
Dancers’ heat is then captured from the dance floor and transferred to a series of 200-meter-deep boreholes which can store heat like a battery. The heat energy then travels back to the heat pumps, is upgraded to a suitable temperature and sent back into SWG3. This will enable people to completely disconnect the venue’s gas boiler, reducing its carbon emissions by about 70 tons of CO2 a year.
The Bodyheat system costs over 600,000 pounds to set up. “If we were to apply the typical air conditioning that is usually used, our costs would probably be about 10% of that so 60,000 pounds,” SWG3 managing director Andrew Fleming-Brown said. “But in the long run, the savings on energy bills will get the spending back in about five years, depending on costs.”
“If we can make it work here in this environment, there’s no reason why we can’t take it to other venues, not just here in Scotland and the UK, but across Europe and further areas,” Fleming-Brown said, adding that introducing the system was a leap of faith and that the venue once promised to achieve “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2025.
Bodyheat has been made possible with support from the Scottish government and the money from a series of grants. An official in Glasgow said, “Storing the heat and playing it back is a major way that can positively influence the energy crisis in the UK and improve energy safety. This is a fantastic plan, where people really are making Glasgow greener while having a great time.”
28. How much energy can two people dancing at a medium pace make?
A. About 250 watts. B. About 500 watts.
C. About 200 to 300 watts. D. About 1,000 to 1,200 watts.
29. What is the function of the boreholes?
A. To store dancers’ heat.
B. To capture dancers’ heat.
C. To send heat energy back to SWG3
D. To upgrade heat energy to a suitable temperature.
30. What does Fleming-Brown think of their use of Bodyheat?
A. It is not safe. B. It is far-sighted.
C. It is double-edged. D. It is not cost-effective.
31. What may Fleming-Brown do in the future?
A. Support Bodyheat with grants.
B. Build more venues with Bodyheat.
C. Recommend Bodyheat to other venues.
D. Get involved in the research on Bodyheat.
D
A little creativity each day can go a long way towards happiness and pleasure in our daily life.
The researchers followed 658 people for about two weeks and found that doing small, everyday things like cooking and baking made them feel more relaxed and happier. By following diaries kept by the study subjects, the researchers found that besides feeling happier, people who worked on little creative projects every day also felt they were “flourishing”, a term that describes the feeling of personal growth. That could mean that the good feeling that comes with pulling the freshly-baked bread out of the oven could carry over into the next day, making that baker more likely to keep on with little acts of creative cooking.
This isn’t the first time researchers have connected making food with good feelings. In recent years, cooking and baking have been explored as a tool to help people deal with things like nervousness and worry. “When I’m in the kitchen, preparing things like sugar or butter I need or breaking the exact number of eggs, I am in control,” said baker John Whaite with mental disorder. “That’s really important as a key sign of my illness is a feeling of no control.”
“For people like Whaite, baking can help them by providing small tasks to focus on. To put together a good meal, cooks have to be continuously in the moment, adding seasonings and tasting their food to make sure everything will tick all the right boxes, all of which can be helpful methods of treating some forms of mental illness,” wrote Huma Qureshi.
A lot of us turn to baking when we’re feeling low. Some of us even start baking because they are ill and need something simple to focus. Baking may not be a basic cure for mental illness, but anyone in need of lifted spirits should consider it.
32. What were the subjects asked to do in the study?
A. To find ways to enjoy themselves.
B. To practise cooking and baking skills.
C. To invent new methods of baking bread.
D. To keep a record of their feelings every day.
33. What can we infer about Whaite from his words?
A. He has made great progress in baking by practising.
B. He feels nervous and worried when cooking.
C. He enjoys the feeling of being in control.
D. He takes pride in his cooking skills.
34. How could baking help people like Whaite according to Huma Qureshi?
A. By concentrating their mind.
B. By encouraging their creativity.
C. By giving them a sense of success.
D. By making them taste healthy food.
35. What does the underlined words mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. Check answers.
B. Choose right answers.
C. Do the right things to please somebody.
D. Do things in one’s own right.

Scary movies are something you either really love or avoid at all costs. Generally, people should be running away from things that bring fear. 36 It is a little confusing. According to psychologist Brownlowe, there are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies.
People like the feeling they get when they’re scared.
Some people react differently to things that are scary. A study found that people who like scary movies tend to enjoy really strong feelings like fear. When you’re scared, your brain’s immediate response is to fight or flight ______ For example, your heart may race and your muscles may tense. It can even cause you to scream or jump. “Believe it or not, for some people, this is a lot of fun,” Brownlowe says.
It feels good to get through a scary movie.
38 According to Brownlowe, there’s a good reason why scary movies reduce nervousness. “The experience of your brain calming itself down after watching a scary movie is actually very dazzling,” Brownlowe says. “That’s because the dopamine（多巴胺）release causes an increased sense of well-being.” At the same time, it also feels good to go into an experience that seems scary or “risky” and then come out safe and sound. As Brownlowe says, “ 39 To some extent, it can make things that seemed challenging easier to deal with in the future.” For example, some people may find that after watching a Halloween Scare Fest, it’s not as scary to ask their boss for a raise, or to give a public speech.
40
Watching a scary movie is an ideal way to get closer to others. A study found that fear-arousing situations, like watching a scary movie, can increase the attraction between two people. Aside from increasing attraction, it can even bring you closer together. Some even think that scary movies touch a deeper part of our collective consciousness as humans. “It draws us closer when we have a shared experience of being terrified of the dark, or ghosts, or killers,” Brownlowe says.
A. It changes our attitudes to risk.
B. It’s a great way to make new friends.
C. People feel more connected to others.
D. It pushes people into choosing simple tasks.
E. When this happens, your entire body can react.
F. But scary movies have a way of drawing people in.
G. Some anxious people may find scary movies comforting.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Mom, what’s this?” my little daughter in the living room called and pointed to an instrument box. “Oh, it’s my flute（长笛）,” I said and opened it. There was the old silver flute that I played years ago. “Play it, Mom.” my daughter asked excitedly.
“Oh, I don’t know whether I’ve forgotten how to play it,” I said. Then, I was lost in thought. The flute carried me back to the days when I was thirteen. That year, because of my dad’s new job, in the middle term. I moved to a new school and left my old friends. Besides, I was a socially awkward girl. So in the new school, I became very lonely and bored.
Two weeks after I went there, the school band was wanting new members. I extremely wished to join it. I loved music. Joining the band could help change my boring school life. And I could meet people with the same hobby, which would be much easier for me to make new friends. But to join the band, each member needed to buy an instrument and take lessons to learn it. My family was on a tight budget at that time. So I didn’t think my parents would support my wish. Besides, I didn’t want to put further financial pressure on my parents.
That day, I arrived home after school, tired and sad. It was another tough day. My dad was reading the newspaper on the sofa “Hi,” he said. “Hi, Dad,” I answered softly. “What’s the matter?” he questioned, finding there was something wrong with me. “Nothing, Dad,” I replied. “Come over here,” he said, asking me to sit down beside him.
He looked at me as I sat down. Then, he talked with me, wishing to know what was troubling me. Still, I didn’t want to tell him about my loneliness at my new school and my big wish to join the band. However, after he kept asking. I finally told him. Not wanting him to feel stressed, I added I could ultimately deal with my problem without joining the band.

Dear David,
I’m in charge of the School English Drama Club. I’m writing to invite you to join us in playing the drama Hamlet. I sincerely hope you can play one of the key roles, Hamlet.
The performance is organized to celebrate the Campus Culture Festival, which will be held next month. The rehearsal for our drama will take place from 6:30 pm to 7:10 pm every other day so that participants won’t have their study affected. We’ll rehearse the drama in our school hall. And our foreign teacher, Mr. White, will come to give us some practical guidance.
I’d appreciate it if you could accept my invitation. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Just as I finished my words, my dad dropped the paper and stood up. He said, “We’ll support you. Buying a flute is not a waste of money. It’s your chance to know your new school and friends better.” I couldn’t believe my ears. But soon, we reached one store, where I was attracted by the shiny instruments. I liked flutes most, so the manager opened a few different ones. “Which do you prefer?” my dad asked. “That one,” I said, pointing to the one that was so shiny and perfect. Hearing it, Dad immediately nodded and paid.
Paragraph 2:
Then, my dad and I walked out of the store, with me carrying the beautiful flute. My heart was filled with joy, not only for the new flute but also because I felt my father’s love. Soon, my boring life changed. I joined the school band and of course, I made new friends. “Please play it, Mom,” my daughter asked again, which brought me back to the moment. “OK. I’ll try,” I replied, running my hands over the flute slowly. Gladly, I didn’t forget how to play it. When the beautiful music sounded, I thought, “Thank you, Dad, for there was more to be treasured in that flute than met the eye.”

M: ⑨Yeah. Me too. It’s already 1:00 pm. ⑩Let’s buy some food and exchange some coins for a bus ride.
W: OK
Text8从城市搬到郊区
W: Kevin, why did you decide to move away from the city? Had you got tired of city life?
M: Not really. ⑪My landlady decided to sell the house. So my family had to look for a new house to live in.
W: Was it easy to find one?
M: Not at all. ⑫There were few houses that we could afford in the city. We hardly had choices.
W: I feel sorry for you. What did you do next?
M: We found a house in the suburbs and I have to get up early every morning.
W: It means you have to travel far to work, right?
M: ⑬Yeah, I used to spend only half an hour getting to my company, but now it takes one more hour. It’s been a tough struggle. But we will get through it.
W: So now you’ve got used to your new life, right?
M: Well, you can say that. Though there’re many difficulties, there’re some advantages, too.
W: For example?
M: Well, the suburbs are quiet and have less air pollution. ⑭Most importantly, by living there, we can save a lot of money because of the lower cost of living.
Text9秘鲁北部发生地震
M: Betty, did you hear the news? An earthquake hit northern Peru this Sunday.
W: No. Was it a big one?
M: Yes. It had a magnitude of 7.5 and was felt nearly 800 kilometers away in the capital of Lima.
W: That’s terrible. Did it cause a lot of damage?
M: Luckily, it didn’t. ⑮though the quake was extremely strong, it was very deep. It measured 112 kilometers, so the possibility of damage was greatly reduced.
W: Then what effect did it have?
M: ⑯Part of a 16th-century church fell and three people were slightly injured. And some falling stones blocked several highways in the Cajamarca region in Peru.
W: Hope it will be fine. It seems earthquakes are common in Peru.
M: Yes. ⑰Most Peruvians are taught basic skills to deal with earthquakes from an early age.
W: That’s necessary. Our geography teacher once introduced many cases of earthquakes in her lecture to us. It’s terrifying.
M: Yeah. I hope one day modern technologies can help find a way to prevent serious damage in an earthquake.
Text 10学前教学工作
W: For many preschool teachers, their work is tiring but meaningful. And mine is no exception. Morning is usually the busiest part of the day for a preschool teacher. ⑱You may have a bit of prep time, but almost immediately after arriving at work, you’re likely to be greeting children and trying to welcome them to school. That’s the most challenging moment for me because I have to make them excited to be there and feel OK about their parents being away from them. ⑲At our school, we start each day with circle time. We typically start by singing songs about greeting the day and each other, and about the seasons of the year. At this time of the day, I find myself really enjoying being around the kids. In elementary or high school, the class is around reading, history, and math. But in preschool, circle time is the meat and potatoes of the day. ⑳Although it might appear to be nothing more than singing and dancing, circle play actually helps develop various essential skills. Although my work is tiring, it’s pretty much impossible not to feel happy when you look at children around with big smiles on their faces. Do you agree with me?
