A

Classic Tuscany from £250

Tuscany’s towns, villages and terroirs have inspired generations of painters and poets, travel writers and winemakers.

It’s easy to spend a lot of money in Tuscany. A couple of nights at the Villa Cora or St Regis in Florence and some Michelin-star food, and a couple can eat their way through £1,000 in a weekend. But Tuscany is not huge and there are good trains and buses between towns. Outside the historic centers you’ll find two- and three-star hotels that are very serviceable, and locals know how to eat very well indeed without being highly charged.

Top tip

State-run museums and archaeological sites are free on the first Sunday of the month. If you are on an art-heavy tour, pick up a Firenze Card. It costs £72 and covers the major museums, including the Uffizi and Accademia. You can jump queues and don’t need a reservation.

When to go

Any time except high summer is good. Museums and galleries, as well as hotels and trains, see major demand in July and August. If your main interests are cultural, consider a winter holiday. It will be cool, but even in January and February snow is so rare in the hills as to be positively exciting.

Do it yourself

Fly from Gatwick to Florence from £91 return in October. The best route goes by train from Florence to Siena (1.5 hours, £8), Siena to Empoli (1 hour, £6), Empoli to Pisa (30 mins, £5) and back to Florence (50 mins, £7.30).

Book via trenitalia.com. Plushotels (plushotels.com/en/florence) has rooms in Florence from £23 per night. In Siena and Pisa you can get B&B for around £40 and in Empoli for around £30.

1. What does the text suggest to save money according to Paragraph 2?

A. Dining in Michelin-star restaurants.

B. Spending a couple of nights at the Vila Cora or St Regis.

C. Staying a bit far away from historic centers for the night.

D. Avoiding public transportation service.

2. What can we learn about travelling in Tuscany?

A. Most museums are free of charge.

B. There are more visitors in summer.

C. A reservation is highly recommended.

D. You need queue up to visit the museum.

3. How much do you have to pay in total for the train rides if you follow the recommended route?

A. £26.3. B. £52.6. C. £91. D. £133.

B

When I was a kid, a sycamore (枫树) grew in front of my home. At the age of 10, I was just tall enough to reach its lowest branch and lift myself into its embrace. Sometimes two or three of my friends would join me in the sycamore, or in the maple down the street, or Mrs. DiMarco’s old peach tree, some of whose stout horizontal branches allowed us to sit shoulder to shoulder, eating sweet fruit.

In my small town there are some kinds of trees, their branches spreading wide, open for business. But I have not yet seen a climber. Perhaps computer games have replaced tree climbing, or maybe the activity went the way of monkey bars, which came to be viewed as too risky and have largely disappeared from playgrounds.

It is a sad loss. I have always believed that, since low-hanging branches provide no benefit to the tree, they must be meant for the child. Robert Frost understood this when he wrote:

When I see baches (桦树) bend to left and right

Across the lines of straighter darker trees,

I like to think some boy’s been swinging them.

My only disagreement with Frost is his inference that tree climbing is a gender-specific task. Both boys and girls make a joyful climb.

The campus of the university where I teach has all sorts of trees. During a recent walk, I found myself bending under the branch of an immense spruce (云杉). I grabbed the thing, and a moment later was sitting on a branch. Then the memories came flooding back. The old sycamore, the friends, and finally, the reluctance to return to earth when the parental call to supper came.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear the student calling to me from below. He asked what I was doing. I didn’t waste time on explanations. “Come on up,” I said “The air’s fine.” But he only laughed and waved me off. He didn’t know what he was missing.

4. What does the underlined word “stout” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Slim. B. Bent. C. Smooth. D. Strong.

5. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. Why kids don’t climb trees.

B. Why monkey bars are dangerous.

C. Why there is no business under trees.

D. Why kids are addicted to computer games.

6. What does the author want to prove by mentioning Robert’s poem?

A. Some branches of trees are useless.

B. Trees are intended for kids to climb.

C. Trees are a source of inspiration for poets.

D. Climbing trees is a unique right of boys.

7 What did the author think the student had missed?

A. The explanations to his question.

B. The fresh air above the tree.

C. The pleasure of climbing trees.

D. The sense of safety on earth.

C

Reptiles, like snakes, lizards, and crocodiles are egg-laying animals. The species are cold-blooded, which means their bodies have the same temperature as the area around them. A recent report says that more than one-fifth of the world’s reptiles are at risk of going extinct.

The study, written by 52 scientists, is the first worldwide measurement of how threatened different species of reptiles are. For 15 years, between 2004 and 2019, researchers collected information on over 10,000 different kinds of reptiles. They gathered details from over 900 reptile experts around the world.

The report has revealed some unhappy news — 21% of all reptile species are in danger of extinction. That’s over 1,800 species in all. The study reported that at least 31 species of reptiles have already gone extinct. The main reason these reptiles are faced with extinction is that humans are taking over more and more of their natural habitats. More land continues to be cleared to make room for cities and towns. Large areas of land are also being cleared so that they can be used as farmland. Logging is another big threat to reptile habitats.

But even if reptiles aren’t considered lovely, they play a very important part in nature’s food chains. One service performed by reptiles humans should appreciate is that they are natural enemies to certain pests, like insects and rats, and therefore helping control their numbers.

Scientists say the good news is that we know what must be done to protect reptiles. Bruce Young, one of the leaders of the research, says, “We have all the tools we need. Protecting natural areas, especially rainforests, is at the top of the list. Studies show that saving natural areas doesn’t just protect mammals or birds, but all kinds of animals, including reptiles.”

8. What can we know about reptiles from the report?

A. There are over 10,000 different kinds of reptiles worldwide.

B. Reptiles are cold-blooded egg-laying animals.

C. Over 20% of reptile species are at risk of dying out.

D. Temperature rising poses the greatest threat to reptiles.

9. What mainly caused the extinction of at least 31 reptile species?

A. Loss of habitats. B. Human hunting.

C. More natural enemies. D. Environmental pollution.

10. What does the author think of reptiles?

A Attractive. B. Intelligent.

C. Beneficial. D. Dangerous.

11. What does Bruce think is the most important in reptile protection?

A. Improving breeding methods. B. Developing new rainforests.

C. Strengthening cooperation. D. Saving their natural habitats.

D

Water equals life. This is true for people, animals and plants. And while water is plentiful in some locations, this is not the case all over the world. Now scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) may have developed a way to change that.

The new desalination (脱盐) device produces water actually above the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button. There are no filters (过滤器) required, and the device uses electrical power to remove salt and other particles (微粒) — including bacteria and viruses — from the saltwater. This reduces the need for constant maintenance.

Most commercially available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them huge in size and less energy efficient. The filterless MIT device will allow it to be used in remote or resource-limited places like small islands, ships, and even for emergency use.

The device took years to develop. After running tests in the lab with water that had different salinity and particles, it was tested at Boston’s Carson Beach. The device produced drinkable water in just half an hour.

The new desalination unit needs less power than a cell phone charger, reported Fast Company, and works using two types of electrical fields to filter the saltwater. But best of all, it is designed to be used by average people and not engineers. In fact, the device only has three buttons, one to power the device, one to start it, and one to stop it.

The researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials to make it ready by the end of next year. This small but mighty desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world.

12. What’s the advantage of the new desalination device?

A. It’s convenient. B. Ifs a lot cheaper.

C. It has improved filters. D. It has a larger output.

13. How is the third paragraph developed?

A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.

C. By analyzing causes. D. By listing figures.

14. What does the author think is the most outstanding quality of the new device?

A. It requires much less power.

B. It possesses two electrical fields.

C. It can be easily operated by ordinary people.

D. It is controlled by the same button.

15. What is the best title for the text?

A. Deeper research finds new contents of seawater

B. Better method improves the quality of drinking water

C. Report shows a world thirsty for safe drinking water

D. New portable device makes seawater drinkable on the way

根据短文内容，从短文后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。

Apologies are how we smooth over conflicts and repair relationships, prove our character to others, and coexist as imperfect beings. Yet few of us know how to do it well — or have the bravery to do so. ___16___ It heals wounds. However, it is also really hard. Here are some keys to apologizing well.

Don’t rush into it

___17___ There can be a desire to offer an apology quickly. Actually, however, you can’t deliver an effective apology until and unless the injured party believes that you fully understand what you did wrong. If the apology comes before that, it’s not going to be seen as sincere.

Be open to a variety of forms

If you’re dealing with a relatively minor wrongdoing, consider apologizing over text message or in person. ___18___ Just don’t issue your apology via social media, which can be shameful for everyone involved.

Accept responsibility

Why should you apologize if you’re both at fault? That’s exactly the question many people struggle with. Focus on taking responsibility for the parts of the conflict that you’re responsible for. Avoid saying “I’m sorry I did this, but you also did that”. ___19___

Emphasize certain words

Always choose your words carefully when apologizing. Avoid conditional phrases, like “if’ in “I’m sorry if anyone was hurt”, which suggests that perhaps there were no victims. “But” is another mistake. ___20___ It’s crucial to use “I” or “my” while apologizing. For example, say “I’m sorry for my outburst” rather than “I’m sorry for the conflict this morning”.

A. It weakens your message.

B. It implies another meaning.

C. A good apology builds bridges.

D. Apologies are better late than early.

E. So we also need to be apologized to.

F. Instead, save it for later on in the conversation.

G. Emails often work well for more serious situations.

A few patients got up and ___29___ me to my car. “I grew up on a farm,” one of the men said. “Something was forever out of ____30____.” “I used to be a mechanic,” another patient said. “I see the ____31____. Battery is loose.” “It’s a simple ____32____,” one assured me.

47. 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。

One night the earth quaked, reducing the villages to ruins and causing hundreds of deaths.

It happened that I was away that night. I had gone to the town to buy my school books. I stayed the night at my uncle’s house. We spent the entire night outside.

I came back to my village. My uncle accompanied me. Every single house, every wall, every roof had been flattened. Our house was a two-storeyed stone building. My father had died of an illness, just fourteen months before. My mother took care of us. I was the oldest. My brother John was ten. Jane, my two-year-old sister, was the baby of the family.

When the soldiers began to clear the debris (废墟), my uncle led me away. “They have taken the bodies to the river bank,” he said gently. “Come, you must perform the last rites (仪式) to the dead before sunset. Tomorrow, we will go back to the town.”

I had last seen my family while leaving for the town. They stood at the doorway and waved. John and Jane. That is the way I will always remember them — smiling and waving at me.

Jane? She was not at the river bank. “They have not found her,” my uncle said. “She is dead…” “But we must find her,” I shouted. I ran back to the village, to the spot where my house had stood, searching, crying, searching on my knees…

“Boy, it is no use!” a voice said. I looked up. The speaker was the Army officer in charge of the relief operation. “Whom are you looking for?” “My sister,” I said, fighting to control my tears.

He looked dirty and exhausted as if he had not slept for days. “My men have been on their feet for days,” he said softly. “They have done all they could here. Tomorrow, at daybreak, we go to another village just like this, then another…”

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】One possible version:

Dear John,

My classmates and I have recently gone on an organized field trip to a wildlife sanctuary. I am writing to tell you about this unforgettable experience.

Located in a distant mountain, the sanctuary covers an area of around 2,000 square miles. It is home to diverse wild plants and animals, among which some are reported to be endangered. What impressed us most was the visit to a research center, where we were fortunate enough to see quite a few rare animals. The trip, aimed at raising our awareness of wildlife protection, was indeed educational and rewarding.

Hopefully you can write back and share with me your field trips.

Yours,

Li Hua

【答案】One possible version:

Ten minutes later, the officer was back. With him were three soldiers armed with spades and some other search equipment. Without a word, the men began removing the debris. They labored determinedly. When it was completely dark, someone brought a few lit lamps. Two hours later, a soldier called out, “Stop!” He stood in the middle of a small hole. The wall had caved in at that spot. I recognized a part of a door. Beneath it, a small foot.

Excitedly, the soldiers began to clear the hole. Then, they lifted the door. “She is alive!” someone said. It was a miracle. She had been buried under the debris for a hundred and sixteen hours. She had survived the earthquake and the cold nights. A cheer went up as the soldier wrapped her in a warm blanket and carried her to the tent where a temporary hospital had been set up. What was more fortunate was that after examination, my sister didn’t suffer any big injuries. Later, whenever thinking of this, my sister always mentions that it was my persistence that saved her luckily. But in my mind, I want to thank that officer and his soldiers first.
