Best Places to Visit in England
As the largest part of the United Kingdom, England is home to many great places to visit. The following destinations are some of the best.
London
Of course, most visitors to England will arrive in London. It’s home to a long list of famous sights as well as beautiful green spaces. It also houses some of the best museums on the planet, many of which are free. See the city from above by riding the London Eye or run into famous people at Madame Tussauds (杜莎夫人蜡像馆).
Liverpool
Liverpool is well known as the place that started The Beatles, though you’ll find a lot more to do there than visit The Beatles Museum. Spend time in the pubs chatting with the locals, go shopping at Liverpool One and enjoy the beaches. Art lovers will enjoy Liverpool’s excellent art sight.
Bath
Some people say Bath is England’s most beautiful small city, named for its natural hot springs that served as ancient Roman baths (浴缸) 2,000 years ago. And, today, it’s the only place in the United Kingdom where you can bathe in naturally hot, mineral-rich waters just like the Romans did long ago. Enjoy rooftop baths with wonderful views over this Georgian city, dine in award-winning restaurants and stay in romantic hotels.
Dover
Dover, located in White Cliffs Country, offers a rich history as well as peaceful countryside and a breathtaking coastline. This area has a unique place in history. You could easily spend weeks experiencing this area’s castles, like Dover Castle as well as the Secret War Time Tunnels, once used as an underground hospital.

B
He is a Chinese superstar, a piano genius who has sold millions of albums worldwide. Lang Lang has also used his fame and fortune to help state schools around the world that lack music, warning at a 2019 awards ceremony in London that such lessons had become “a real challenge” for children in the most disadvantaged communities.
Now he is bringing music to British state schools in an ambitious project that will set up modern “piano labs” in needy schools across the nation. Each lab will have 20 to 30 keyboards. The plan is inspired by his programmes in the US and China, in which he has invested tens of millions of pounds.
In the US, he has set up piano labs in 86 schools, giving 70,000 kids access to keyboards. In China, he has installed them in 104 schools, enabling 110,000 children to make music. This is primarily for pupils aged seven to 12.
The first UK school to benefit is the Winns primary school in Waltham Forest, London’s 12th poorest area. It will receive 30 keyboards within the next few weeks. Every lab is accompanied by a curriculum created by the Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto and Lang Lang, with ongoing teacher-training, financial support, and headphones, allowing group piano classes.
Asked what inspired him to support UK schools, Lang told the reporter: “We were able to identify many similarities between state schools in the UK and public schools in the US in terms of the way access to music and arts can be extremely limited when budgets are cut…I was so surprised by how music classes are never guaranteed. The schools and teachers are incredible, and are so dedicated to providing their students with everything they can. But it shocked me how access to music education can be so limited.”
His charity quotes the Greek philosopher Aristotle: “Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed to music and must be educated in it.”
Lang Lang said: “When I visit our partner schools and see the joy on the students’ faces or hear from our teachers about the progress students are making, I’m reminded of why we created this programme—to give children an opportunity to discover what they’re capable of achieving and to find their voices through music.”

B. Music classes aren’t always available.
C. The budgets are always being cut.
D. The schools are dedicated to helping students.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Social media has completely taken over everyday life, affecting how society runs and changing individuals in ways that even they can feel. While social media can act as a platform for people to express themselves, it can also be overwhelming, especially for high school teens.
To teenager Bryson Lan, quitting social media helped eliminate (消除) a significant distraction in his routine and keep up with teachers. “I was scrolling through social networking sites so much,” Lan said. “I was also starting to struggle since I entered my high school year. When school started, I was super overwhelmed (不知所措的), and I was just not ready for it.”
Most teenagers fear that by eliminating these apps, they will miss out on connections with their peers and feel a significant loss to their social life. However, Lan found he didn’t miss anything during his time without social media.
Another problem with social media is the amount of “junk content” posted. People are regularly posting and updating on social media, and much of the content has no meaning to other viewers and is ultimately a time suck.
However, social media isn’t all negative. Social media can be a place to develop passions and boost creativity. For example, Lan found his interest in photography blossom after seeing works from other photographers on social media. “Social media is a good place where you can have a portfolio (作品集) or upload your works,” Lan said. “A lot of people have photography accounts or art accounts. In some ways, I think it actually furthers your hobby.” “Thanks to this revolutionary development of social media, we can enjoy a world where everyone is closer than before,” Lan said. “But we also need to have the skills to make good use of social media, and that depends on each person’s efforts.”
8. What did getting rid of social media bring Lan?
A. More distractions. B. Confusion about life.
C. A smaller social circle. D. More attention on his studies.
9. What does the underlined phrase “a time suck” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. A waste of time. B. A timetable. C. A lack of time. D. A time switch.
10 What’s Lan’s attitude towards social media?
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Most teenagers’ opinions on social media. B. The effects social media has on teenagers.
C. Innovative development of social media. D. The problems social media brings people.
D
Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician bears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
12. How does music affect preterm babies?
A. It helps reduce their pain.
B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems.
D. It helps repair their neurological systems.
13. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 导致 B. 增强 C. 延缓 D. 促进
14. Why can music mend a broken heart?
A. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
B. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Who can benefit from music B. The best time to listen to music
C. The way to choose quality music D. How music affects our mind and body

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了音乐家朗朗为英国的一些缺乏乐器设备的学校所做的贡献。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He is a Chinese superstar, a piano genius who has sold millions of albums worldwide. Lang Lang has also used his fame and fortune to help state schools around the world that lack music, warning at a 2019 awards ceremony in London that such lessons had become “a real challenge” for children in the most disadvantaged communities.(他是中国的超级巨星,一个钢琴天才,在全球销售了数百万张专辑。郎朗还利用自己的名声和财富帮助世界各地缺乏音乐的公立学校,他在2019年伦敦的一个颁奖典礼上警告说,这些课程已经成为最弱势社区儿童的“真正挑战”。)”可知,本段主要介绍了钢琴天才朗朗的一些基本信息,可推知,本段的目的是提供一些背景信息。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Now he is bringing music to British state schools in an ambitious project that will set up modern “piano labs” in needy schools across the nation.(现在,他正在把音乐带到英国公立学校,这是一个雄心勃勃的项目,将在全国各地的贫困学校建立现代“钢琴实验室”。)”可知,在英国,朗朗帮助的是那些贫困学校,故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Asked what inspired him to support UK schools, Lang told the reporter: “We were able to identify many similarities between state schools in the UK and public schools in the US in terms of the way access to music and arts can be extremely limited when budgets are cut…I was so surprised by how music classes are never guaranteed. The schools and teachers are incredible, and are so dedicated to providing their students with everything they can. But it shocked me how access to music education can be so limited.(当被问及是什么促使他支持英国的学校时,郎朗告诉记者:“我们发现英国的公立学校和美国的公立学校有很多相似之处,在预算削减的情况下,音乐和艺术的机会非常有限……我很惊讶为什么音乐课从来没有得到保证。学校和老师都很棒,他们竭尽所能地为学生提供一切。但让我震惊的是,接受音乐教育的机会竟然如此有限。”)”可知,朗朗发现英国的公立学校在预算削减的情况下,音乐和艺术的机会非常有限,这使得他有了要支持英国学校的想法,即朗朗决定帮助支持英国的学校是这些学校的音乐课不能得到保证。故选B。
7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章在第一段中交代了钢琴天才——朗朗的一些信息,进而在接下来的段落中提到了朗朗计划在英国的贫困学校设立“钢琴实验室”的事情和朗朗决定帮助这些学校的动机及朗朗希望他的帮助行为能够实现的,结合第三段的“In the US, he has set up piano labs in 86 schools, giving 70,000 kids access to keyboards. (在美国,他在86所学校建立了钢琴实验室,让7万名孩子接触到琴键)”,所以本文的标题应为“中国巨星把音乐带给了英国的孩子”,故选C。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To teenager Bryson Lan, quitting social media helped eliminate (消除) a significant distraction in his routine and keep up with teachers.(对于十几岁的布莱森·兰来说,删除社交媒体帮助他消除了日常生活中的一大干扰,并能跟上老师的进度)”可知,摆脱社交媒体让Lan把更多的注意力放在学习上。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Another problem with social media is the amount of “junk content” posted.

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Thanks to this revolutionary development of social media, we can enjoy a world where everyone is closer than before,” Lan said. “But we also need to have the skills to make good use of social media, and that depends on each person’s efforts.”(Lan说:“多亏了社交媒体的革命性发展,我们可以享受一个每个人都比以前更亲密的世界。但我们也需要掌握好利用社交媒体的技能,这取决于每个人的努力。”)”可推知,Lan对社交媒体的态度是客观的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Social media has completely taken over everyday life, affecting how society runs and changing individuals in ways that even they can feel. While social media can act as a platform for people to express themselves, it can also be overwhelming, especially for high school teens.(社交媒体已经完全占据了人们的日常生活,影响着社会的运行方式,甚至以他们自己都能感受到的方式改变着个人。虽然社交媒体可以作为人们表达自己的平台,但它也可能是压倒性的,尤其是对高中生来说)”结合文章以学生Bryson Lan为例,说明了社交媒体对青少年的影响。可知,这篇文章的主旨是社交媒体对青少年的影响。故选B。
D
Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician bears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
12. How does music affect preterm babies?
A. It helps reduce their pain.
B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems.
D. It helps repair their neurological systems.
13. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 导致 B. 增强 C. 延缓 D. 促进
14. Why can music mend a broken heart?
A. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
B. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Who can benefit from music B. The best time to listen to music
C. The way to choose quality music D. How music affects our mind and body
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了音乐对人大脑和心理的所能够产生的积极影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. (最近的一项研究表明,早产儿在听音乐时似乎疼痛较少,进食更多。)”可知,音乐可以帮助早产儿减少痛苦。故选A。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. (虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失,但它确实可以stave off听力损失。)”以及下文“Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician bears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment. (音乐家比非音乐家更能听到声音,而且这种差异随着年龄的增长而变得越来越明显。这意味着,即使在嘈杂的环境中,70岁的音乐家也比50岁的非音乐家承受得更好。)”可知,虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失,但它确实可以避免听力损失。故stave off意为“暂时避开;延缓”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.(听高质量的音乐会产生积极的情绪,改善血液运动,扩张血管,从而促进整个心血管系统的快速恢复。)”可知,音乐对人体系统的工作有积极影响。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music. (音乐不仅仅是一组声音和节奏。它对大脑的影响比任何其他人类经历都要深刻得多。继续阅读,了解音乐的神奇力量。)”、第二段中“Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests.(由加拿大阿尔伯塔大学的马诺·库马尔博士领导的专家们发现,音乐对经历痛苦医学检查的早产儿减轻疼痛有有益的作用。)”、第三段中“Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries.(许多遭受脑损伤的人都有语言和运动相关的问题。音乐可以帮助从脑损伤中恢复。)”、第四段中“Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing.(虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失,但它确实可以延缓听力的丧失。)”和最后一段中“The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety.(问题是,音乐可以帮助人们从心脏病发作或心脏手术中恢复过来,通过降低血压,减缓心跳,减少焦虑。)”可知,本文主要说明了音乐对人身体和心理的影响。故选D。

How to Be a Successful Online Student
While regular schools still exist, the virtual classroom plays an important role in today’s learning community. However, not all online students can achieve success in it. ____16____
Be able to communicate through writing
In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is necessary for students to express themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities, which usually requires more practice. Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates. ____17____
Be willing to “speak up” if problems arise
Remember that teachers cannot see their students in an online course. ____18____ If they face technical difficulties or problems, they MUST speak up; otherwise, there is no way anyone can know something is wrong. While trying to explain something, students strengthen their own knowledge about the subject.
____19____
It’s important for online students to think about the questions carefully and organize their ideas before answering questions. Time is given to allow for careful development of answers. Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged. Many times online students will not always be right; they just need to be prepared to accept a challenge.
Take the program seriously
____20____ In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Many online students sit at computers for hours just to complete their assignments.
A. Be open-minded about sharing experiences.
B. Be able to think ideas through before replying.
C. Students can keep the online environment friendly.
D. Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms.
E. Here are some unique qualities for online students to be successful.
F. In this way, students gain deep understanding from their classmates.
G. This means students must make their comments and requests clearly.
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何成为一名成功的在线学生。
【16题详解】
根据上文“However, not all online students can achieve success in it.(然而,并非所有在线学生都可以在其中取得成功)”可知,作者认为虚拟课程在当今的学习社区中发挥着重要作用,然而想在其中获得成功并非易事。而下文每一段的小标题“Be able to communicate through writing, be willing to “speak up” if problems arise, take the program seriously.(能够通过书面形式进行沟通,如果出现问题愿意大声说出来,认真对待线上课程)”可知,作者开始就如何在线上课程取得成功给出自己的建议。选项E“Here are some unique qualities for online students to be successful.(以下是在线学生取得成功的一些独特品质)”与上下文一致,承上启下。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates.(无论是一个人还是在闭体中学习,同学们各自分享对正在学习的科目的想法,并且赏读其他人的写作作品)”可知,作者建议读者通过写作分享各自的想法。选项F“In this way, students gain deep understanding from their classmates.(通过这种方式,学生从同学那里获得了深刻的理解)”,承接上文,表述通过写作交流带来的积极益处。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Remember that teachers cannot see their students in an online course.(请记住,老师们无法在网络课程中看到他们的学生)”以及这一段的小标题“Be willing to“speak up” if problems arise.(如果出现问题愿意大声说出来)”可知,网络课程也存在着不如线下课程的一面,学生需要敢于说出自己遇到的问题。选项G“This means students must make their comments and requests clearly.(这意味着学生们必须将他们的评论和需求表述清楚)”承接上文,给读者陈述具体建议:限于无法像线下课程那样有效即时沟通,同学们必须明确地表达出自己的需求和想法,以免出现不必要的问题。故选G。
【19题详解】
空处为段标题,为本段中心意思的概况。根据下文“It’s important for online students to think about the questions carefully and organize their ideas before answering questions.(对于在线学生来说,在回答问题之前仔细思考问题并组织自己的想法是很重要的)”可知,在线课程鼓励学生仔细思考、认真回答,即使犯错也没关系。选项B“Be able to think ideas through before replying.(能够在回复之前仔细思考)”恰恰符合本段中心意思。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据下文“In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort.(事实上,很多学生说网课会耗费更多的时间和精力)”以及这一段的小标题“Take the program seriously.(认真对待线上课程)”可知,网课并不容易,好的网课的标准很高。选项D“Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms.(在线课程并不比线下课程容易)”,符合上下文,语义连贯,故选D。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国是一个古老的大国,有五千多年的历史。分析句子可知,本句是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是China,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【37题详解】

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们追随西方的时尚,认为我们是老式的。分析句子可知,已有谓语follow,所以think在句中作非谓语动词,且句子主语和think之间是逻辑主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。故填thinking。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意:但总有一天,他们会意识到忽视传统文化是错误的。空处为句子的谓语,根据上文some day可知,表示未来某一天,时态用一般将来时。故填will realize。
