Stops on a Literary Tour
JK Rowling
A sign in the window of the Elephant House indicates it is Harry Potter’s birthplace. Author JK Rowling spent fateful hours completing Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone there-the first book in the series. It’s still a cafe and you can still drop in for a cappuccino and a sandwich, a pizza or a plate of sausage. (https://elephanthouse.biz)
Jane Austen
Though the Georgian city of Bath, with its Roman Baths and UNESCO World Heritage status, proudly claims Jane Austen as a favorite resident, Jane was actually unhappy there. Jane was happier in Chawton Cottage, where she published one of her most famous novels-Pride and Prejudice.(https://janeaustens.house)
William Shakespeare
The most famous writer in the English language- arguably the most famous writer in the world-is better known through his works than through his biographical details. Fans in search of the poet can visit his hometown Stratford-upon-Avon. (https://www.rsc.org.uk)
William Wordsworth
If, like the 19th-century Romantic poet William Wordsworth, the sight of a field of golden daffodils(水仙花)has ever cheered your lonely hours，visit Dove Cottage in Grasmere. It was on a walk with Dorothy in the Lake District countryside nearby that he spotted the famous field of nodding flowers that inspired his poem, Lonely as a Cloud, known by most people simply as The Daffodils.(https://wordsworth.org.uk)
1. What can people do at Harry Potter’s Birthplace?

Despite difficult times, there is a great spirit of survival and hope for people living in the Bayou State.
Dustin LaFont, whose nonprofit, Front Yard Bikes, supports hundreds of students in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, every year as they ride towards a brighter future. “It’s very important in Cajun(卡津人的)culture to take care of your neighbor.”
Ranked as one of the poorest states in America, Louisiana often bears coastal storms and hurricanes. And on top of sky-high poverty and crime rates, the combining effect has been disastrous for residents-especially for young people. In Baton Rouge, roughly one in every four residents lives in poverty.
“Our kids in South Louisiana grow up knowing they have to be strong from day one,” LaFont said. “You can go from having a house, having a family, and then all of a sudden, it’s gone like a magic. Our mission is to create safe spaces that empower our kids to learn about their inner worth as they learn, grow, and build.”
In 2010, inspired by local kids who gathered in his yard for tips, tools, and bike parts, LaFont formed what neighbors called the “Front Yard Bike Shop.” He later formalized the group as an official nonprofit. Today, Front Yard Bikes is headquartered in a brightly painted building near the community park. Dozens of kids now gather after school in this safe place to ride, play, and help out in the garden. LaFont recently opened a bike repair shop where older students can get certified in mechanics, receive hands-on training and gain employment at the store to help build their resume for future work. The group also takes weekly rides to area businesses and landmarks to learn about the city and its opportunities.
Front Yard Bikes serves nearly 400 young people a year. To date, 50 students have been certified in mechanics, and 2,000 kids have benefited from the program.
4. What does LaFont’s Front Yard Bikes intend to do?
A. To make a donation. B. To promote bike sales.
C. To help the local students. D. To have support from neighbors.
5. Why do the local kids have to grow up to be strong?
A. The crime rates there hit a record high.
B. The circumstances they face are severe.
C. They face struggles to support their family.
D. They can hardly get educated in their world.
6. How does the bike repair shop benefit students?
A. By offering them practical experience.
B. By organizing job fairs on a weekly basis.
C. By providing them with safe places to ride.
D. By helping them start their own companies.
7. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To honor a respected local. B. To highlight a great spirit.
C. To promote the Bayou State. D. To pass on a great tradition.

Zhang Yufu and some 100 other truck drivers in Yunnan province were given a special assignment on Aug 3, 2021, by the company — to follow a herd of 14 Asian elephants.
Experts said the team’s work marked a significant breakthrough in efforts to guide the animals back to their habitats. Crossing the river meant the herd was heading toward more suitable habitats, which would also help increase stability and security for the animals.
Since the 14 wild Asian elephants left their habitat in 2020 and kept wandering toward the north, they had drawn attention from across China and the world. Authorities in Yunnan had fed the elephants tons of food and used police cars, trucks, diggers and drones to guide the herd away from city areas, and eventually lead them back to their habitat safely.
The Asian elephant is listed as an “endangered” species and is under top-level protection in China. Yunnan is the only habitat for wild Asian elephants in China. By building 11 nature reserves, the population of the Asian elephant in China has risen from 170 in the 1970s to over 300 in 2021, according to the Yunnan provincial forestry and grassland department.
Although climate and a willingness among the elephants to move were key factors in the herd moving toward home, the efforts of scientists and workers also played a major role.
For example, the water flow per second rate of the Yuanjiang River rose greatly in August 2021, compared to May that same year when the herd first crossed it. To avoid danger, the Yuxi headquarters decided to guide the elephants across the Yuanjiang Bridge near National Highway 213. The local government also sent workers to promote safety in areas populated by 73,000 people.
“Although the herd broke away from the designed route a number of times, it finally crossed the bridge, with the safety of humans and the animals secured,” said Yang Yingyong, executive deputy commander of the headquarters.
8. What was the mission of the team in protecting the 14 Asian elephants?
A. To study their social behavior. B. To shoot a documentary about them.
C. To protect them from being hunted. D. To direct them back to their home.
9. What was the key moment for the team’s work?
A. When the herd crossed the Yuanjiang Bridge.
B. When the herd started to interact with the team.
C. When the number of Asian elephants reached 300.
D. When 11 nature reserves were built for Asian elephants.
10. What is Yang Yingyong’s attitude to the result of the team’s work?
A. Confused. B. Indifferent. C. Relieved. D. Concerned.
11. What does this report mainly tell us?
A. All people in Yunnan help guide elephants to safety.
B The local government takes measures to protect Asian elephants.
C. Elephants are about to end their journey south and head for home.
D. Dedicated teamwork pays off for helping elephants return south.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了2021年8月3日，云南卡车公司给张玉福和其他100多名卡车司机下达了一项特殊任务——跟踪一群14头亚洲象。专家表示，该小组的工作标志着引导这些动物回到栖息地的努力取得了重大突破。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Authorities in Yunnan had fed the elephants tons of food and used police cars, trucks, diggers and drones to guide the herd away from city areas, and eventually lead them back to their habitat safely.(云南当局给大象喂食了成吨的食物，并使用警车、卡车、挖掘机和无人机引导大象离开城市地区，最终将它们安全带回栖息地)”可知，保护14头亚洲象的任务是引导它们回家。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To avoid danger, the Yuxi headquarters decided to guide the elephants across the Yuanjiang Bridge near National Highway 213.(为了避免危险，玉溪总部决定引导大象通过213国道附近的沅江大桥)”可知，团队工作的关键时刻是当象群穿过沅江大桥时。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Although the herd broke away from the designed route a number of times, it finally crossed the bridge, with the safety of humans and the animals secured,” said Yang Yingyong, executive deputy commander of the headquarters. (“虽然象群多次偏离设计路线，但最终还是通过了大桥，人和动物的安全都得到了保障，”总部常务副指挥官杨英勇说)”可推知，对于团队的工作成果，杨英勇的态度是宽慰的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Experts said the team’s work marked a significant breakthrough in efforts to guide the animals back to their habitats. Crossing the river meant the herd was heading toward more suitable habitats, which would also help increase stability and security for the animals.(专家表示，该小组的工作标志着引导这些动物回到栖息地的努力取得了重大突破。过了河意味着象群正朝着更合适的栖息地前进，这也有助于增加动物的稳定性和安全性)”可知，这份报告主要告诉我们敬业的团队合作帮助大象返回南方。故选D。
D
How can people speak their mind without saying? This is a question that scientists have aimed to answer for a long time. Researchers recently brought an upgraded device that can translate users’ brain waves into daily speech.
Previously, the team led by Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco, developed an AI-based system that can identify up to 50 commonly used words based on the participant’s brain waves. According to their paper published in November, the team upgraded the system which can now translate thoughts into complete sentences on a computer screen. Their tests showed that the device could decode (破译) silently spoken letters from a 1,152-word vocabulary at a speed of about 29 characters per minute. The accuracy was up to 94 percent.
However, this method can still be unsure since users still need to undergo surgery. Scientists at the University of Texas, US, have tried to translate people’s thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.
The new technique is called fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像). It’s a safer way of “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity.
The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains. Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the fMRI recording. It matched the radio shows pretty well.
Also, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched. The team aims to develop this technology so that it can be used in brain-computer interfaces (脑机接口) designed for people who cannot speak or type.
12. What do we know about the device mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. It was implanted into a man’s heart.
B. It can help restore patients’ lost memory.
C. It can identify about 50 commonly used words.
D. It was developed independently by Edward Chang.
13. How does fMRI “read” people’s minds?
A. By following their active brain cells.
B. By putting electric poles into their brains.
C. By recording their reaction to radio shows.
D. By matching their brain activity with their habits.
14. What’s the advantage of fMRI compared to the first device mentioned in the story?
A. It’s safer. B. It’s cheaper.
C. It’s smaller in size. D. It’s more accurate.
15. What can be concluded about fMRI from the last two paragraphs?
A. It can only read what participants hear.
B. It can be used in brain-computer interfaces.
C. It can read every detail of participants’ minds.
D. It cannot work out what people imagine in their heads.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了旧金山加州大学Edward Chang领导的团队开发了一个基于人工智能的系统，可以将用户的脑电波转换为日常语音。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The new technique is called fMRI，or functional magnetic resonance imaging. It’s a safer way of “reading” brain activity. Active brain cells have more oxygen. By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity. ( 这项新技术被称为功能性磁共振成像。 这是一种更安全的“阅读”大脑活动的方式。活跃的脑细胞有更多的氧气。通过追踪这些细胞，科学家可以翻译大脑活动)”可知，fMRI通过追踪他们活跃的脑细胞读懂人们的思想，故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“According to their paper published in November, the team upgraded the system which can now translate thoughts into complete sentences on a computer screen. Their tests showed that the device could decode silently spoken letters from a 1,152-word vocabulary at a speed of about 29 characters per minute. The accuracy was up to 94 percent. ( 根据他们在11月发表的论文，该团队升级了该系统，现在可以在电脑屏幕上将想法翻译成完整的句子。他们的测试表明该设备可以解码以大约每分钟29个字符的速度无声地说出1152个词汇表中的字母。准确率高达94%)”可知，比起之前的设备，升级后的fMRI更为安全，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains (研究小组要求参与者在扫描大脑的同时收听16个小时的广播节目)”以及最后一段“The team aims to develop this technology so that it can be used in brain-computer interfaces (脑机接口) designed for people who cannot speak or type (该团队的目标是开发这项技术，以便将其用于脑机接口专为不会说话或打字的人设计)”可知，fMRI能用于脑机界面，故选B项。

There are so many food options out there in the world that it’s often very easy to get lost in all of them. ___16___ We have no idea what’s healthy, what isn’t, how to lose weight and how to gain weight. That’s why when this internet user asked the question “What food do people mistakenly consider healthy?”, many people joined in to share their opinions, and they might help you out and shine some light on deceptive foods that we think are good for us, but are actually pretty bad.
·I spoke to a food scientist for work and he said (un)healthy foods don’t exist, just (un)healthy diets. Broccoli is good. ___17___ Just as eating McDonald’s for every meal is bad, but having McDonald’s for dinner in itself is fine.
As long as you:
-Have variety in your diet.
-Get all the nutrients you need.
-___18___
You can basically eat whatever you want.
·Meat substitutes. Just because it’s vegan, doesn’t mean it isn’t processed and full of unhealthy fats, etc.
·Vitamin Water. ___19___ One bottle of Vitamin Water provides 50-100 percent of the daily adult recommendation for sugar. It also lacks any significant nutrients and vitamins other than traces of Vitamins B and C, which coincidentally are water soluble (可溶解的), and are plentiful in other daily food staples.
·Salad. ___20___ When people load on the salad dressing, they are basically eating 80% of their calories in sugar and fat.
A. Not the vegetables.
B. The options are endless.
C. Eat whatever is easily available.
D. But if you eat it for every meal, that’s bad.
E. Don’t eat too much or too little of anything.
F. This has to be the biggest food trick out there.

I had just a very wonderful day. Although all my days were always wonderful to me, that day was completely different. There was a bulletin(公告)board saying that they would need to find volleyball players for the girls and I was so happy! I have been loving playing volleyball since my mother taught me how to play. I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to play! Then I read more what was on that bulletin board, which said that here would be an audition(试演)after three weeks! “Three weeks?” I thought about it I did know how to play volleyball but I was not much of an expert in doing it but I still wanted to try.
After that I was determined to practice volleyball every day. I practiced hard again and again each day and never got tired of doing the same practice through all the days, and finally, the day came. I was so prepared for this and hurried to the gym to the audition. When I had reached the gym, I was surprised to see that 12 or 14 girls were lining up and I guessed I was the last one to arrive. Then our audition began. Some of the girls failed to pass the audition and some passed.
There was only one position left to complete the 6 girls to join the volleyball team and suddenly I felt nervous because the person in front of me was going to take the serve(发球). Then the girl hit the ball and then the ball didn’t pass over the net! The girl hit her forehead and left, leaving me standing in the middle of the court.
Then the coach spoke, “Okay, you serve.” She handed me the ball and I caught it with my hands. As the ball was in my hands, my hands were suddenly sweating and so was I!
注意：
1．续写词数应为150字左右；

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I then suddenly became nervous about this. “Maybe I should back off,” I told myself. And my legs began to shake. My mind went blank. For a moment I wanted to give up, but then it occurred to me that all of these practices that I’d done were all for the audition and I don’t want to be disappointed. Suddenly confidence returned to me. I practiced this for today; I was determined to do this, so I had to do this with all my fighting spirit! I had the ability to pass the audition. Then I stared at the volleyball in my hands and was ready to throw it out.
I come to a stop, taking a deep breath and began. I only glanced at the net, swung my hand and hit the ball and it... and it... and it... Yes! And it passed over the net! My coach stood up clapping her hands. All the people in the gym cheered. I felt very proud and jumped with joy. At that moment I knew my practice for three weeks did pay off. And from it I know if you have devoted yourself to something, you will get the reward.
