The Gangs of New York-a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John
Young will be on show here.I don't think this story has ever been staged before and it seems like
a wild pick for a summer outdoor show.
Thorington Theatre,Suffolk
A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world built in a natural amphitheatre
hidden in the Suffolk woodlands.
This year's programme includes family favorites such as Teddy Bear's Picnic and The Little
Mermaid.
Minack Theatre,Cornwall
Built into a cliff face in Porthcurno,you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre;seeing
anything at all,back dropped by the sky-blue Cornish sea,will be an unforgettable experience.
You can also now order a picnic from the local supper club Husk to meet you an hour before your
show in an adjoining field.
If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding,check out The Pirates of
Penzance played in September.
Roman Theatre Open Air Festival,St Alban's
Situated in the country's oldest theatre,this year the festival offers a mix of straight
classics,modern retelling and brand-new scripts.
The whole line-up looks excellent but I'm a sucker for any production of Sondheim's Into the
Woods,and as the name suggests,there's no better place to see it than an outdoor theatre.
21.Which of the following best describes"The Gangs of New York"?
A.A cross-cultural adaptation.
B.A traditional summer show.
C.A new and unconventional choice.
D.A well-performed Shakespeare story.
22.How does Husk contribute to the experience at Minack Theatre?
A.By organizing guided tours.

We've all encountered that person who comes back from the gym or a run seemingly high on
life.Scientists say that even a single exercise period can alter your neurochemistry in ways that
create feelings of hope,calm,connection,and a generally better mood.However,some people
feel worn out after a workout."It's normal not to find exercise rewarding,"said Daniel
Lieberman,a scientist at Harvard University."There's nothing wrong with you."
Recent discoveries reveal that exercise produces a complex cocktail of "feel-good"
chemicals,not just endorphins.Key players include endocannabinoids,which create a rush of
excitement,dopamine,which creates a sense of reward,serotonin,which helps you feel focused
and calm,and oxytocin,which enhances social connections.
The body likely evolved to respond to physical activity to help early humans endure hours of
hunting and gathering.The first 20 to 30 minutes of exercise often feel challenging because it
takes about that long for the endocannabinoid system to lift your mood.Consistent exercise over
about three weeks helps develop a strong dopamine reward system,making exercise more
rewarding over time.
Exercising with friends or in groups can provide an additional oxytocin boost,enhancing
social connections.All types of exercise,including aerobic,resistance,and mindfulness
practices like yoga,release mood-enhancing chemicals.It's beneficial to find activities you enjoy
or at least don't hate to ensure consistent engagement.
To optimize your exercise routine,experiment with different types of activities until you find
one you love,and track your mood and enjoyment to guide your choices.
24.What does the phrase "high on life"in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Exploring something novel.
B.Experiencing overall happiness.
C.Achieving a new perspective.
D.Cultivating a sense of gratitude.
25.How does the body's response to exercise help with endurance?
A.By reducing energy spending.
B.By conserving muscle strength
C.By decreasing oxygen consumption.
D.By improving mood and motivation.
26.Why is it suggested to find an activity you like according to the text?
A.To nurture close friendships.
B.To facilitate forgetting concerns.
C.To support long-term involvement.
D.To maintain physical fitness levels.

The Antarctic,a continent encircled by ocean,faces far-reaching threats from global
warming,often underappreciated due to its remoteness and perceived stability.However,this
perception is changing as the continent shows alarming signs of significant melting,with serious
global consequences.As Antarctica melts,the gravitational pull of its shrinking ice weakens,
causing sea levels elsewhere to rise faster,disproportionately(过度地、不成比例地)affecting
North America,Australia,and Oceania.
Melting ice sheets do more than raise sea levels;they alter atmospheric circulation,
impacting weather in regions like the Sahel and Amazonia.Additionally,the Southern Ocean,a
major carbon sink,absorbs 40%of the oceans'carbon dioxide annually.Warming reduces this
absorption,further affected by the flowing of trillions of tonnes of freshwater from melting ice,
which alters ocean currents.
Despite these urgent issues,some countries are cutting Antarctic research budgets,a
shortsighted move that restricts critical measurement and modeling of ice sheets.Addressing this
deficiency (is essential for understanding and easing the escalating crisis.The
implications of the worsening situation need to be properly appreciated and planned for,
requiring swift action to improve the study of ice sheets,atmosphere,and ocean currents.
If the Antarctic continues to melt,the consequences will extend far beyond rising sea levels.
It will cause shifts in atmospheric circulation that affect weather patterns globally and reduce the
ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide,worsening climate change.This underlines the urgency
of increasing investment in Antarctic research to better predict and manage the impacts of global
warming.
The need for comprehensive measurement and modeling of ice sheets is critical,as current
understanding is outdated behind the study of the atmosphere and ocean currents.Governments
must prioritize and fund Antarctic research to address these challenges effectively and ensure
global preparedness for the changes already underway.
28.What does the melting of Antarctic ice primarily impact?
A.Local ecosystems.
B.Ocean temperature.
C.Global sea levels.
D.Atmospheric pressure.
英语·第6页(共12页)
29.What effect does freshwater from melting ice have on the Southern Ocean?
A.It enhances the ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide.
B.It disturbs ocean currents and lowers carbon dioxide absorption.
C.It stabilizes ocean currents and increases carbon dioxide absorption.
D.It leaves the Southern Ocean's carbon absorption capacity unchanged.
30.What does the text imply about current Antarctic research funding levels?
A.They must be expanded to manage the crisis.
B.They might be adequate to respond to the crisis.
C.They should be minimized to a smaller amount.
D.They can be less crucial for climate understanding.
31.Where is the text most probably taken from?
A.A science-themed book
B.A policy-focused report.
C.A climate-oriented proposal.
D.A marine-centred curriculum.

Getting a clear sense of what happens inside the brain,why it happens,and its importance
to the human experience are monumental challenges.
Despite the odds,neuroscientists continue to move forward with determination and
persistence.And they have made incredible progress over recent decades.Some of these brave
souls investigate a particularly difficult-to-study topic:sleep.
Although every human who has ever lived on Earth has experienced this phenomenon,sleep
is still covered in mystery.We do not understand the full story,but it is now clear that one of
sleep's roles is to solidify,or consolidate memories.
Scientists believe that during waking hours,our brains are ready to make or "encode"new
memories.But during sleep,our brains switch to consolidation mode.When you first learn
something during the day,your brain lays down a "memory trace."Initially,this trace is
particularly susceptible to disturbances.In other words,it is easy to forget.Then,during sleep,
this memory is consolidated-the memory trace is stabilized.On a cellular level,memories are
formed by changing the strength of synaptic connections in a network that represents
a memory.During sleep,synapses -the connections between brain cells-are remodeled,
producing permanent changes that solidify the memory trace,helping create long-term memories.
Researchers have shown that going to sleep shortly after learning something helps the brain
consolidate declarative memories more efficiently.What is declarative memory?Declarative
memory is defined as recalling events and facts,such as the name of your friends and what you
ate last night.

In one study,researchers asked participants to learn word pairs.They found that people
who went to sleep shortly after the task performed better 24 hours later than those who did not
sleep until longer after the task.Another study,which involved high school students learning
new vocabulary had similar results:Those who went to sleep just a few hours after learning
sustained memories better than those who went to sleep many hours after learning.
32.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.How memory consolidation works.
B.What strengthens memory traces.
C.Why new memories are removed.
D.How sleep blocks long-term memory.
33.What is declarative memory according to the passage?
A.Remembering historical events.
B.Remembering how to ride a bike.
C.Remembering the feeling of love.
D.Remembering how to tie shoelaces.
34.What similarity is noted between the two studies in the last paragraph?
A.Both involved different age groups.
B.Both used identical experimental data.
C.Both focused on physical health impacts.
D.Both found sleep timing affected memory.
35.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To explore how sleep benefits memory.
B.To examine why sleep maintains brain activity.
C.To investigate why extended sleep affects health.
D.To illustrate how the brain functions during sleep.

The quote "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man;true nobility is
being superior to your former self."is often attributed to Ernest Hemingway.30 At its core,
the quote encourages us to reflect on what true nobility means and where it can be found.
The first part of the quote,"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man,"
stresses the idea that the pursuit of superiority over others is not internally noble.Often,peeple
are driven to compete,compare,or advocate dominance over their peers.137 However,
英语·第8页(共12页)
Hemingway suggests that this form of superiority,achieved at the expense of others,lacks true
nobility.It can lead to bighead,division,and a sense of emptiness.
38 That"true nobility is being superior to your former self"emphasizes the idea that
the most meaningful and virtuous form of superiority is one's continual self-improvement and
personal growth instead of measuring oneself against others.Individuals should strive to become
better versions of themselves.
What is the concept of self-improvement?It implies a commitment to self-awareness.
39 It suggests that nobility is found in the modesty to acknowledge one's flaws (and
weaknesses,and the determination to overcome them.It's about learning,evolving,and
becoming a more merciful,.empathetic(共情的),and virtuous individual.
In essence,Hemingway's quote invites us to reevaluate our priorities and values.It
encourages us to shift our focus from external comparisons and competitions to the inner journey
of self-improvemont and growth.True nobility lies not in outshining others but in outgrowing our
former selves.10
A.It's the pursuit of personal goals and values.
B.Self-discipline is an essential aspect of human existence.
C.The quote also offers an alternative perspective on nobility.
D.They believe it to be a mark of success or a good reputation.
