I live in a second-floor flat with an ancient tree right on the corner of the house. House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.

It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structure into its path. It bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise, which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home. It’s covered in moss（苔藓）, which is, in turn, crawling with all sorts of insects. I have never seen the insects, by the way, I just know that they’re there because of all the birds trying to pick them out. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.

I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem. When I’m eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look out and see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine. When I’m sitting in the living room, reading or drinking tea, I can suddenly find myself face to face with another bird. We’ll be staring at each other and, after some time, decide we can both carry on with our business, living side by side. Even as I write this—the large windows open to a lovely, soft evening—a white feather comes floating down by my side, probably from one of the resident pigeons.

As I don’t have the luxury of a garden, this tree makes me feel connected to the outdoors. Such is an ancient tree, a tree that is itself home to many other creatures—that feels different. It is as if it has adopted me and made me a part of its world, without ever asking for something in return. But if needs be, I know that it can count on me and I will protect it with all my strength.

24．The flat that author lives in is _________.

A．built in an ancient tree B．hugged by a giant tree

C．decorated with branches D．surrounded by a garden

25．In the author’s description, she implies that _________.

A．birds keep her warm company B．she has adopted the residents.

C．moss makes her flat nice and cool D．she has been bothered by the insects

26．What does the author really treasure?

A．A close-to-nature life. B．A luxurious garden.

C．A spacious house. D．A sociable neighbor.

27．Which of the following can be used to express the author’s feeling?

A．Jealous. B．Inferior.

C．Content. D．Passionate.

C

Going to sleep at a certain time is associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease, according to researchers. In a study published in the European Heart Journal, a team found that going to sleep between 10：00 pm and 11：00 pm was beneficial compared to earlier or later bedtime. The research included 88，026 participants in the UK.

An analysis found that sleep onset time of 10：00 pm to 10：59 pm was associated with the lowest incidence of heart disease. There was a 25% higher risk of heart disease with the sleep onset at midnight or later, a 12% greater risk for 11：00 pm to 11：59 pm and a 24% higher risk for falling asleep before 10：00 pm compared to the sleep onset from 10：00 pm to 10：59 pm.

“The body has a 24-hour internal clock that helps adjust physical and mental functioning，” study author David of the University of Exeter said in a statement. “While we cannot conclude it from our study, the results suggest that early or late bedtime may be more likely to destroy the body clock.” “While the findings do not show the conclusion, sleep timing has appeared as a potential heart disease risk factor — independent of other risk factors. If our findings are proved in other studies, sleep timing and basic sleep health could be a low-cost public health target for lowering the risk of heart disease，” David added.

28．Which is the best time to go to bed?

A．8：40 pm.　　　　　 B．9：50 pm.

C．10：45 pm. D．11：10 pm.　

29．How is Paragraph 2 organized?

A．By giving some data.

B．By raising a question.

C．By giving an example.

D．By following the time order.

30．What can be learned from David's words?

A．Sleep too early will surely cause heart disease.

B．Sleep timing is a possible heart disease risk factor.

C．Sleep timing is a risk factor related to other factors.

D．Sleeping before eight will not damage your body clock.

31．What is the best title for the text?

A．Body Clocks Make a Difference to Sleep

B．Sleeping Late Is Not Harmful to Heart Health

C．Sleep Timing Has an Effect on Heart Disease

D．Earlier Bedtime Is More Beneficial than Later One

D

Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them，and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms—maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”．But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to Daily Mail，just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.

There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world，where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen，people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.

And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays，people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven (烤箱) up.

However，a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules：“It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”

The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it．The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen，and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads，even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event，children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”

32．Why do people pay less attention to the Sunday roast nowadays?

A．They have a busy lifestyle.

B．They have no interest in cooking.

C．They don’t think it worthwhile.

D．They are living in the modern society.

33．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．A recent article.

B．The fine old tradition.

C．A traditional kitchen.

D．The Sunday morning activity.

34．How does the author feel towards the Sunday roast’s decline?

A．Sorry.  B．Doubtful.    C．Uncertain.   D．Positive.

35．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Sunday—Best Time for Family

B．The Sunday Roast Is Dying Out

C．It’s the Perfect Time for Us

D．Let’s Sit Down Together

Good morning, everyone!

My name is Li Hua. It is a great honor to be here to share my views on how to protect the earth.

Nowadays, the environment problem has become a great concern. It’s high time we took action from now on and from us. Firstly, we should save energy as much as possible. What’s more, it’s a good idea to recycle and reuse resources. Lastly, we’d better travel by bus or by bike.

In conclusion, since we have only one earth, let’s do what we can before it is too late! That’s all. Thank you.
