A
Here are four of the most charming villages in Europe, along with our top picks for places to
stay in each.
Eze in Cota D’Azur, France
Set on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Provencal township of Eze is easily
one of the most picturesque spots in the region. It is largely a tourist destination, and many of its
buildings dates back to the Middle Age. In fact, Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking
3
romantic solitude.
Hotel pick: Chateau de la Chevre
Baden-Baden in Wurttemberg, Germany
Germany’s best-known spa town, Baden-Baden, in the Black Forest of Baden- Wuttemberg,
has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on since the Roman era. And
while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists, there are
also plenty of museums, gardens, performing arts venues and charming old buildings and
churches.
Hotel pick: Hotel Belle Epoque
Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy
Spread over a hilltop nearly 2,000 metres above sea level, the Tuscan village of
Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine
companies. Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the 14th century, the village features a
handful of churches and public squares.
Hotel pick: Etruria Resort
Oia in Santorini, Greece
Oia is undoubtedly the most charming village on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini. This
town is best known as a sunset-viewing spot, but it is fantastic any time of day thanks to its
abundance of typical whitewashed structures topped with blue domes plus its fabulous views out
onto the Aegean Sea.
Hotel pick: Hotel Aspaki

My new teacher is cool. Her name is Paula so we call her Miss Paula.
The first time we met her she said we are going to be good friends and that good friends are
always nice to each other.
Miss Paula has been teaching us a lot of things. Some of us used to get in trouble for talking
in the hallway (过道). Miss Paula says she can’t change the rule that we can’t make noise in the
hallway but we can still talk to each other. She is teaching us sign language. I already know how
to say “hello” and “how are you” with my hands. Now we love it when we have to walk
somewhere and we are always quiet except for a laugh or two.
Miss Paula likes everybody even Sam and nobody likes Sam. He never does what he’s told
but now he is doing better. Miss Paula says every single one of us is perfect and beautiful just the
way we are. I guess that includes Sam.
This week at school was really the best ever. I didn’t even get in trouble when I thought I
would because I spilled (洒) milk on my homework and had to hand it in when it was still wet.
Miss Paula just smiled and asked “What’s this?” So I told her what happened. Miss Paula put it
near the window to make it dry. She said the sun had been waiting for such an important job as
this and would be happy to help us.
Well I have to go and get ready for bed now. I have school in the morning and I want to wake
up early so I will have time to pick Miss Paula some flowers.
24. From the passage we know that Miss Paula ________.
A. is strict with the writer B. changed the school rules
C. is very kind to her students D. uses sign language in class
25. From Paragraph 4 what do we learn about Sam?
A. Sam dislikes his new teacher. B. Sam has made some progress.
C. Sam is often praised by Miss Paula. D. Sam is one of the writer’s best
friends.

26. How did the writer probably feel when he handed in his homework?
A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Relaxed. D. Worried.
27. We can learn from the passage that the writer ________.
A. loves and respects her new teacher B. is a bit afraid of her new teacher
C. always picks her teacher some flowers D. wrote this article in the morning
C
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as
children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for
years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after
many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who
has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle,
twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have
learned something, additional learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember
it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and
playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of
words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and
Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget
rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we
overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it
may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a
student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to
forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for
one’s future development.
28. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
6
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.
29. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______.
A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies
30. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. the law B. overlearning C. examination D. cramming
31. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’ learning interest.
D
Do you like to keep fit? We’re always told that regular exercise is good for our body and
mind. More and more people are taking up activities that improve their fitness. But is there a risk
when people get obsessed (痴迷的) and overdo it?
Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection. And fitness
trackers and apps can add to this obsession. And sharing data on social media means exercising
becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in someone who is vulnerable (脆弱
的).
Experts say this can lead to a medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to
“healthy eating” and over-exercise. Untreated, it can lead to physical and mental health problems.
Research from scientists at University College London in 2017 found that higher posting on social
media was associated with increased likelihood of developing orthorexia, especially among
followers of the “healthy eating” influencers.
Too much exercise can also harm someone’s physical health as well. Symptoms of over-
exercising include injuries such as tendinitis (肌腱炎) and a low immune system. So how much
exercise is too much? A research by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found the
ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour – and that it was best to jog no more than three
times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial
7
than being inactive or undertaking much-long jogging.
If you’re more of a couch potato than a sportsman, this might sound like good news. But for
amateur (业余的) athletes who can’t help but push their bodies to the limit, the advice from Martin
Turner, a sports and exercise psychologist, is, “it’s all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning
not to control everything, saying, ‘You don’t need to be perfect.’”
32.What is thought to add to people’s fitness obsession?
A.social media. B.love for sports.
C.perfectionism. D.fitness trackers and apps.
33.What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.Healthy eating can lead to physical and mental health problems.
B.Obsession to fitness may cause physical and mental problems.
C.Sharing data on social media is a good way to force us to exercise.
D.We should follow healthy eating.
34.What advice should amateur athletes follow?
A.Take moderate exercise. B.Push their bodies to the limit.
C.Learn to control everything. D.Be a perfectionist.
35.Which is the main idea of the passage?
A.The more you exercise, the healthier you will be.
B.Exercise harms our bodies.
C.Too much exercise may put you in danger.
D.Sports strengthens our bodies and resists diseases.

I looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall. Flashes from cameras lit up
in all directions. The applause filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.
Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two
hundred people. "Not for a million dollars," I would have said. But when the time came, I got
up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears-and discovered I could do more than I ever
gave myself credit for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person
who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.
If not for my teacher, Mrs Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.
In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn't in my
personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or
say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people's conversations. I
did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could
be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I
was never shy.
My teacher, Mrs Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go
after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my
inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had
written." I'll begin to cast everyone tomorrow," she said." I need someone who is not afraid
to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Anybody want to
try?" A few excited hands shot up-mine, of course, was not one of them-and Mrs Sather
smiled." We'll talk more about it tomorrow," she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates
12
slowly left the classroom.
Paragraph 1:
When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs Sather asked me to go to her.

He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.(成年人常常惊讶于他们对小时候学过但从那以后就没有练习过的东西记忆如此之好。一个多年没有机会去游泳的人,当他回到水里时,仍然能游得和以前一样好。他可以在许多年后骑上自行车,仍然骑着走。他和他儿子一样会接球和击球。一位多年不思考这些词的母亲可以教她的女儿一首以“闪烁,闪烁,小星星”开头的诗,或者记住灰姑娘或金凤花姑娘和三只熊的故事)”可知,第一段的主旨是人们对童年学到的东西记得很清楚。故选A。

When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs Sather asked me to go to her.
She invited me to play the lead part. Shy and unwilling, I was seized with panic, for I lacked confidence in myself. Mrs. Sather stared into my eyes as if seeing my inner self locked away inside. “We know what we are, but know not what we may be,” she added. Hearing Mrs Sather’s inspiring words, I realized it was time to make a change. So I nodded my head, confidently saying, “Mrs Sather I want to, no, I am determined to play the role. And I will try my best to perform it well.”
Hearing Mrs Sather’s inspiring words, I realized it was time to make a change. So I nodded my head, confidently saying, “Mrs Sather I want to, no, I am determined to play the role. And I will try my best to perform it well.”The day when I performed on the stage would live in my mind forever. Standing upon the stage, I seemed to get sucked into a whirlpool of endless tension, with my mind going blank. It was Mrs Sather who cast an encouraging look on me, which enabled me to get rid of all the anxiety. With confidence and passion, I performed the play in a striking and vivid way. The instant the play came to an end, a wide excitement took hold of me.
