July - August: Fête des Vignerons, Vevey
The Fête des Vignerons takes place every 20 years in Vevey, which is full of activities, history and centuries-old traditions and was the first Swiss intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) included into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016. The latest festival was held from 18 July to 11 August 2019.

Bianca Mavrick’s first attempt in the jewellery world was as an enterprising (有创业精神的) 10-year-old, selling seashell earrings at the Cleveland markets.
Now the 28-year-old has her own studio in Moorooka, in Brisbane’s south, and her handmade designs enjoy worldwide popularity among fans. “It’s amazing to be selling internationally. When you do a creative business, you’re going to have to work hard and it will take a few years to get off the ground, but it’s really growing fast now,” she says.
Bianca opened her online store in 2014. Production happens in her studio, with help from one staff member and sometimes her grandma. “My grandma enjoys sitting with the girls. She acts as a kind of quality controller and helps with packing and putting bar codes (条形码) on things,” Bianca says. Bianca laughs as she recalls looking through her grandmother’s pile of costume jewellery as a child. “She had an amazing collection and I was allowed to have some of the broken pieces and fix them up to sell alongside the shell earrings on my stand,” she says. Mum and Dad opened an account for me and put the profits away. Even then I knew I wanted to work with jewellery. All of my hobbies always related back to my jewellery. I’m always looking for inspiration, whether I’m visiting an art gallery or looking at furniture for my apartment. Next month Bianca will join other talented Queensland artists and designers to show her creations at the MAYO Arts Festival, named after well-known Australian sculptor Daphne Mayo.
“It’s really exciting to be a part of it,” she says, “It will enable me to meet my clients, too, which is always great because having an online store I can’t normally get to do that. My clients love the unique nature of my designs, as well as the fact that they are handmade, not mass-produced.”
4. What does Bianca think of her business?
A. It had a terrible start. B. It is expanding rapidly.
C. It leaves a lot to be desired. D. It aims at foreign clients.
5. What does Bianca’s grandma do in her studio?
A. She designs the bar codes. B. She acts as a spokeswoman.
C. She monitors product quality. D. She helps with sales promotion.
6. What made Bianca devoted to jewellery?
A. The childhood hobbies and talent. B. The family’s influence and support.
C. The handsome profits in the industry. D. The inspiration from her surroundings.
7. Why is Bianca excited to attend the festival?
A. Her unique designs are likely to become a hit.
B. Many of her works will be created on the spot.
C. The festival is to be held by a famous sculptor.
D. She can communicate with her clients in person.
C
In today’s digital age, children are exposed to a number of datafication (数据化) risks, including harmful profiling, micro-targeting and behavioural control.
Digital monitoring-based technologies enable parents to restrict, monitor or track children’s online activities. Popular apps such as Life 360, Google Family Link and Apple Maps, are widespread. However, such approaches have limited effectiveness in keeping children out of the boundaries of the digital space or reducing screen time usage. Meanwhile, the risks associated with these approaches emerge, such as their potential to affect family trust relationships or prevent the development of children’s self-regulation skills. With modern families increasingly struggling with their children’s relationship with digital technologies and lack of effective and clear guidance for them, new approaches are urgently needed.
It is for this reason that Computer Science researchers working on the Oxford Martin Programme on Ethical Web and Data Architectures developed the KOALA Hero Toolkit. It has been co-developed with families and children by Oxford researchers over several years in response to increasing concerns from families about the risks associated with extensive use of the digital technologies.
The toolkit has several key features. By providing families with insights into datafication risks, i. e. how children’s data may be collected and processed, and used to affect what they see online, the toolkit enables families to make informed decisions about their online activities. Through both a digital and physical component, and the provision of interactive activities and discussion sheets, the toolkit facilitates meaningful conversations between children and parents, promoting a deeper understanding of digital privacy and ethics (道德) . By providing worksheets that guide conversations and interactions with the toolkit among family members, with both children and parents involved in the learning process, the toolkit strengthens the family bonds and promotes collective problem-solving.
By assessing the toolkit with 17 families, involving 23 children aged 10-14, we found positive indications for our approach to encouraging active family engagement, instead of focusing on controls and monitoring. We hope to work with a larger sample to make it more adaptable before sharing the toolkit on popular app stores.
8. What do we know about digital monitoring-based technologies?
A. They are unfriendly to parents. B. They need necessary improvement.
C. They strengthen family relationship. D. They offer parents a clear guidance.
9. What is special about the toolkit?
A. It safeguards children’s online privacy. B. It promotes parent-child communication.
C. It places strict control on children’s data. D. It enables children to think independently.
10. What may the researchers do next?
A. To better the toolkit. B. To contact app stores.
C. To target the market. D. To seek professional advice.
11. What may be the best title?
A. A Popular Digital Monitoring-based App
B. Children’s Exposure to Datafication Risks
C. Families’ Change in Attitude to Datafication
D. An Innovative Approach to Digital Parenting
D
As China’s cities grow, they are also sinking. An estimated 16 percent of the country’s major cities are losing more than 10 millimeters of height per year and nearly half are losing more than 3 millimeters per year, according to a new study published in the journal Science.
“Land subsidence (下沉) is a problem that almost exists everywhere,” said Robert Nicholls, a climate scientist and civil engineer at the University of East Anglia who reviewed the paper, “To my knowledge, this study is the first to measure land subsidence across many urban areas using state-of-the-art radar (雷达) data from satellites. I believe the majority of the adaptation strategies that we have, and the plans to fight climate change, are inaccurate, just because they did not include land subsidence. Land subsidence is an unheeded problem. It hasn’t been studied the way, for example, sea level rise has been studied.”
The new study was based on satellite radar measurements of how much the ground surface in 82 major cities, accounting for three-quarters of the urban population, moved up or down between 2015 and 2022. The researchers compared these measurements to data on potential contributing factors. Subsidence in these cities is caused in part by the pure weight of buildings, the study found. Groundwater extraction (开采) underneath the cities also plays a role, as do oil drilling and coal mining. These activities leave empty space underground where soil and rocks can press together or collapse.
Being below sea level doesn’t mean a city is automatically destroyed. Much of the Netherlands is below sea level and sinking but the country has been extensively engineered to prevent flooding in places and to accommodate it in others. Shanghai is already limiting groundwater extraction and is sinking more slowly than other cities. In Japan, groundwater management over the years has proved successful. “It’s difficult to stop subsidence entirely,” Dr. Nicholls said, “You’ve got to live with what’s left. “
12. What do the figures in paragraph 1 imply?
A. Cities grow at an alarming speed. B. Cities face fierce climate change.
C. Land subsidence is under control. D. Land subsidence is an urgent issue.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “unheeded” in paragraph 2?
A. Ignored. B. Identified. C. Undefined. D. Overestimated.
14. What may contribute to land subsidence in cities according to the passage?
A. Energy extraction. B. Overuse of farmland.
C. Population expansion. D. Uneven distribution of water.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. City planning calls for joint efforts.
B. Groundwater is to blame for land sinking.
C. Measures can be taken to ease subsidence.
D. Flooding prevention deserves further research.

In the heart of the busy city of Avonlea, where the sounds of rushing cars never ceased, lived sixteen-year-old Emma. Unlike her classmates, who were often keen on the latest technology, Emma had a preference for knitting (编织) .
Emma’s love for knitting was deeply influenced by her mother, who possessed a skilled and creative touch with needles. Her mother’s passion for knitting and generous spirit of helping others always inspired Emma to follow in her footsteps and take up knitting as a meaningful hobby.
Emma was really good at knitting. She liked to make scarves, gloves, hats and mini bags for her friends as well as her relatives. Her hats were created in a variety of styles and colors, each one unique and full of personality. Whether it was a mini bag or a classic scarf, each knitting work was a carefully crafted masterpiece and a unique gift full of love and warmth. With beauty and practicality, Emma’s creations never failed to impress.
One freezing morning in the peak of winter, the city had just been blanketed by a snowstorm that had left many, particularly the homeless, in desperate situation. As Emma made her way to school, she noticed a shaking figure under the bridge near her school. It was a homeless man she often saw on her route, but today he looked particularly miserable (可怜的) . His face was half-hidden under a piece of worn cloth that hardly served as protection against the cold. Touched by the sight, Emma decided to present her scarf to the homeless man. She approached, handing the scarf to him.
“For me?” the man asked, his eyes widened with surprise.
“Yes! I thought it might help with the cold,” Emma said, her breath visible in the cold air.
注意:

Bianca Mavrick’s first attempt in the jewellery world was as an enterprising (有创业精神的) 10-year-old, selling seashell earrings at the Cleveland markets.
Now the 28-year-old has her own studio in Moorooka, in Brisbane’s south, and her handmade designs enjoy worldwide popularity among fans. “It’s amazing to be selling internationally. When you do a creative business, you’re going to have to work hard and it will take a few years to get off the ground, but it’s really growing fast now,” she says.
Bianca opened her online store in 2014. Production happens in her studio, with help from one staff member and sometimes her grandma. “My grandma enjoys sitting with the girls. She acts as a kind of quality controller and helps with packing and putting bar codes (条形码) on things,” Bianca says. Bianca laughs as she recalls looking through her grandmother’s pile of costume jewellery as a child. “She had an amazing collection and I was allowed to have some of the broken pieces and fix them up to sell alongside the shell earrings on my stand,” she says. Mum and Dad opened an account for me and put the profits away. Even then I knew I wanted to work with jewellery. All of my hobbies always related back to my jewellery. I’m always looking for inspiration, whether I’m visiting an art gallery or looking at furniture for my apartment. Next month Bianca will join other talented Queensland artists and designers to show her creations at the MAYO Arts Festival, named after well-known Australian sculptor Daphne Mayo.
“It’s really exciting to be a part of it,” she says, “It will enable me to meet my clients, too, which is always great because having an online store I can’t normally get to do that. My clients love the unique nature of my designs, as well as the fact that they are handmade, not mass-produced.”
4. What does Bianca think of her business?
A. It had a terrible start. B. It is expanding rapidly.
C. It leaves a lot to be desired. D. It aims at foreign clients.
5. What does Bianca’s grandma do in her studio?
A. She designs the bar codes. B. She acts as a spokeswoman.
C. She monitors product quality. D. She helps with sales promotion.
6. What made Bianca devoted to jewellery?
A. The childhood hobbies and talent. B. The family’s influence and support.
C. The handsome profits in the industry. D. The inspiration from her surroundings.
7. Why is Bianca excited to attend the festival?
A. Her unique designs are likely to become a hit.
B. Many of her works will be created on the spot.
C. The festival is to be held by a famous sculptor.
D. She can communicate with her clients in person.

In today’s digital age, children are exposed to a number of datafication (数据化) risks, including harmful profiling, micro-targeting and behavioural control.
Digital monitoring-based technologies enable parents to restrict, monitor or track children’s online activities. Popular apps such as Life 360, Google Family Link and Apple Maps, are widespread. However, such approaches have limited effectiveness in keeping children out of the boundaries of the digital space or reducing screen time usage. Meanwhile, the risks associated with these approaches emerge, such as their potential to affect family trust relationships or prevent the development of children’s self-regulation skills. With modern families increasingly struggling with their children’s relationship with digital technologies and lack of effective and clear guidance for them, new approaches are urgently needed.
It is for this reason that Computer Science researchers working on the Oxford Martin Programme on Ethical Web and Data Architectures developed the KOALA Hero Toolkit. It has been co-developed with families and children by Oxford researchers over several years in response to increasing concerns from families about the risks associated with extensive use of the digital technologies.
The toolkit has several key features. By providing families with insights into datafication risks, i. e. how children’s data may be collected and processed, and used to affect what they see online, the toolkit enables families to make informed decisions about their online activities. Through both a digital and physical component, and the provision of interactive activities and discussion sheets, the toolkit facilitates meaningful conversations between children and parents, promoting a deeper understanding of digital privacy and ethics (道德) . By providing worksheets that guide conversations and interactions with the toolkit among family members, with both children and parents involved in the learning process, the toolkit strengthens the family bonds and promotes collective problem-solving.
By assessing the toolkit with 17 families, involving 23 children aged 10-14, we found positive indications for our approach to encouraging active family engagement, instead of focusing on controls and monitoring. We hope to work with a larger sample to make it more adaptable before sharing the toolkit on popular app stores.
8. What do we know about digital monitoring-based technologies?
A. They are unfriendly to parents. B. They need necessary improvement.
C. They strengthen family relationship. D. They offer parents a clear guidance.
9. What is special about the toolkit?
A. It safeguards children’s online privacy. B. It promotes parent-child communication.
C. It places strict control on children’s data. D. It enables children to think independently.
10. What may the researchers do next?
A. To better the toolkit. B. To contact app stores.
C. To target the market. D. To seek professional advice.
11. What may be the best title?
A. A Popular Digital Monitoring-based App
B. Children’s Exposure to Datafication Risks
C. Families’ Change in Attitude to Datafication
D. An Innovative Approach to Digital Parenting
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】

Popular apps such as Life 360, Google Family Link and Apple Maps, are widespread. However, such approaches have limited effectiveness in keeping children out of the boundaries of the digital space or reducing screen time usage. Meanwhile, the risks associated with these approaches emerge, such as their potential to affect family trust relationships or prevent the development of children’s self-regulation skills. With modern families increasingly struggling with their children’s relationship with digital technologies and lack of effective and clear guidance for them, new approaches are urgently needed.(基于数字监控的技术使家长能够限制、监控或跟踪孩子的在线活动。Life 360、Google Family Link和Apple Maps等流行应用程序非常普遍。然而,这些方法在让孩子们远离数字空间的边界或减少屏幕时间使用方面效果有限。与此同时,与这些方法相关的风险也出现了,例如它们可能会影响家庭信任关系或阻碍儿童自我调节技能的发展。随着现代家庭越来越难以处理孩子与数字技术的关系,以及缺乏有效和明确的指导,迫切需要新的方法)”可知,基于数字监控的技术的效果有限,并出现了相关的风险,需要必要的改进。故选B。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We hope to work with a larger sample to make it more adaptable before sharing the toolkit on popular app stores.(我们希望在流行的应用商店上分享工具包之前,使用更大的样本,使其更具适应性)”可推知,研究人员接下来可能会使用更大的样本,使其更具适应性,进一步完善工具包。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In today’s digital age, children are exposed to a number of datafication (数据化) risks, including harmful profiling, micro-targeting and behavioural control.(在当今的数字时代,儿童面临着许多数据化风险,包括有害的分析、微目标和行为控制)”、第三段“It is for this reason that Computer Science researchers working on the Oxford Martin Programme on Ethical Web and Data Architectures developed the KOALA Hero Toolkit.(正是出于这个原因,牛津大学马丁伦理网络和数据架构项目的计算机科学研究人员开发了KOALA Hero Toolkit工具包)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了数字时代儿童面临的数据化风险,研究人员开发了KOALAHero Toolkit工具包,旨在帮助家庭应对数字技术所带来的风险,并促进家庭成员之间的积极互动,所以“一种创新的数字化家庭教育方式”适合作为文章标题。故选D。

As China’s cities grow, they are also sinking. An estimated 16 percent of the country’s major cities are losing more than 10 millimeters of height per year and nearly half are losing more than 3 millimeters per year, according to a new study published in the journal Science.
“Land subsidence (下沉) is a problem that almost exists everywhere,” said Robert Nicholls, a climate scientist and civil engineer at the University of East Anglia who reviewed the paper, “To my knowledge, this study is the first to measure land subsidence across many urban areas using state-of-the-art radar (雷达) data from satellites. I believe the majority of the adaptation strategies that we have, and the plans to fight climate change, are inaccurate, just because they did not include land subsidence. Land subsidence is an unheeded problem. It hasn’t been studied the way, for example, sea level rise has been studied.”
The new study was based on satellite radar measurements of how much the ground surface in 82 major cities, accounting for three-quarters of the urban population, moved up or down between 2015 and 2022. The researchers compared these measurements to data on potential contributing factors. Subsidence in these cities is caused in part by the pure weight of buildings, the study found. Groundwater extraction (开采) underneath the cities also plays a role, as do oil drilling and coal mining. These activities leave empty space underground where soil and rocks can press together or collapse.
Being below sea level doesn’t mean a city is automatically destroyed. Much of the Netherlands is below sea level and sinking, but the country has been extensively engineered to prevent flooding in places and to accommodate it in others. Shanghai is already limiting groundwater extraction and is sinking more slowly than other cities. In Japan, groundwater management over the years has proved successful. “It’s difficult to stop subsidence entirely,” Dr. Nicholls said, “You’ve got to live with what’s left. “
12. What do the figures in paragraph 1 imply?
A. Cities grow at an alarming speed. B. Cities face fierce climate change.
C. Land subsidence is under control. D. Land subsidence is an urgent issue.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “unheeded” in paragraph 2?
A. Ignored. B. Identified. C. Undefined. D. Overestimated.
14. What may contribute to land subsidence in cities according to the passage?
A. Energy extraction. B. Overuse of farmland.
C. Population expansion. D. Uneven distribution of water.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. City planning calls for joint efforts.
B. Groundwater is to blame for land sinking.
C. Measures can be taken to ease subsidence.
D. Flooding prevention deserves further research.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了地面下沉问题的背景、原因和一些应对措施。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“An estimated 16 percent of the country’s major cities are losing more than 10 millimeters of height per year and nearly half are losing more than 3 millimeters per year, according to a new study published in the journal Science. (根据《科学》杂志发表的一项新研究,估计该国16%的主要城市每年高度下降超过10毫米,近一半的城市每年下降超过3毫米。)”可知,第一段的数字意味着地面沉降问题严重,是一个亟需解决的问题。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“I believe the majority of the adaptation strategies that we have, and the plans to fight climate change, are inaccurate, just because they did not include land subsidence. Land subsidence is an unheeded problem. It hasn’t been studied the way, for example, sea level rise has been studied.” (我认为,我们现有的大多数适应策略和应对气候变化的计划都是不准确的,因为它们没有包括地面沉降。地面沉降是一个unheeded问题。它还没有被研究过,例如,海平面上升已经被研究过了。”)”可知,地面沉降问题还没有像是海平面上升那样被研究过,由此可推知,地面沉降问题是未被注意的,划线单词表示“未被注意的”,与Ignored意义相近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Subsidence in these cities is caused in part by the pure weight of buildings, the study found. Groundwater extraction (开采) underneath the cities also plays a role, as do oil drilling and coal mining. (研究发现,这些城市的沉降部分是由建筑物的纯粹重量造成的。城市地下的地下水开采也发挥了作用,石油钻探和煤炭开采也是如此。)”可知,建筑物的重量、城市地下水开采以及能源开采是造成地面下沉的原因。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Being below sea level doesn’t mean a city is automatically destroyed. Much of the Netherlands is below sea level and sinking, but the country has been extensively engineered to prevent flooding in places and to accommodate it in others. Shanghai is already limiting groundwater extraction and is sinking more slowly than other cities. In Japan, groundwater management over the years has proved successful. (低于海平面并不意味着一座城市会自动被摧毁。荷兰的大部分地区都在海平面以下,正在下沉,但该国已经进行了广泛的工程设计,以防止某些地方发生洪水,并在其他地方适应洪水。上海已经在限制地下水开采,而且下沉速度比其他城市慢。在日本,多年来的地下水管理已被证明是成功的。)”可推知,采取有效措施后,地面沉降问题可以被缓解,即可以采取措施缓解地面沉降。故选C。

【答案】Dear Chris,
How is everything going? I’m writing to share with you an exciting experience I had last Friday.
Our school held the textbook drama competition, and I participated in it with my classmates. We acted out a scene from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. I played the role of Romeo, and it was a challenging but rewarding experience. We spent several weeks preparing for the competition, practicing our lines. On the day of the competition, we were all nervous but also excited to perform. Despite some nerves, I think we did a great job and received a lot of positive feedback from the audience. Participating in the competition was a great opportunity for me to improve my acting skills and confidence. It also allowed me to work with my classmates and develop our teamwork skills. I learned a lot from the competition, and I’m grateful for the experience.
What have you been up to lately? I hope you’re having a great time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

In the heart of the busy city of Avonlea where the sounds of rushing cars never ceased, lived sixteen-year-old Emma. Unlike her classmates, who were often keen on the latest technology, Emma had a preference for knitting (编织) .
Emma’s love for knitting was deeply influenced by her mother, who possessed a skilled and creative touch with needles. Her mother’s passion for knitting and generous spirit of helping others always inspired Emma to follow in her footsteps and take up knitting as a meaningful hobby.
Emma was really good at knitting. She liked to make scarves, gloves, hats and mini bags for her friends as well as her relatives. Her hats were created in a variety of styles and colors, each one unique and full of personality. Whether it was a mini bag or a classic scarf, each knitting work was a carefully crafted masterpiece and a unique gift full of love and warmth. With beauty and practicality, Emma’s creations never failed to impress.
One freezing morning in the peak of winter, the city had just been blanketed by a snowstorm that had left many, particularly the homeless, in desperate situation. As Emma made her way to school, she noticed a shaking figure under the bridge near her school. It was a homeless man she often saw on her route, but today he looked particularly miserable (可怜的) . His face was half-hidden under a piece of worn cloth that hardly served as protection against the cold. Touched by the sight, Emma decided to present her scarf to the homeless man. She approached, handing the scarf to him.
“For me?” the man asked, his eyes widened with surprise.
“Yes! I thought it might help with the cold,” Emma said, her breath visible in the cold air.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The man wrapped the scarf around his neck, instantly feeling a bit warmer. “Thank you. You are an angel, “ he murmured, a glimmer of smile coming to his dry lips. He grabbed the scarf tightly, his eyes shining with happy tears. In that moment, Emma realized what she presented was not just a scarf but also a sign of hope. Inspired, she determined to bring that spark of hope to more people. An idea suddenly popped into her head that she could set up a knitting club to bring more warmth to those in need. Then Emma waved him goodbye and hurried to school, her heart light and warm.
Led by Emma, Knits for Hope Club was started in her school. Her classmates expressed their willingness to do their part. With the passage of time, the club grew in numbers and enthusiasm. By the end of winter, Knits for Hope had distributed more than two hundred hand-knitted items, warming numerous bodies and hearts. Through their needles, they had knitted a blanket of community, compassion, and warmth that enveloped everyone. Never did Emma realize the impact of her small gesture. It wasn’t about the scarves or hats; it was about weaving kindness into the fabric of society, showing that even the smallest acts can create the warmest changes.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个名叫Emma的十六岁女孩, 受到母亲的影响对编织情有独钟。她以精湛的技艺制作各种编织品,如围巾、手套、帽子和小包,送给她的朋友。在一个 寒冷冬天的早晨,Emma看到一位无家可归的男子在桥下冻得发抖,决定将自己的围巾送给他。
【详解】1.段落续写
①根据首句内容“那人把围巾包在脖子上,立刻感觉暖和了一点。”可知,下文可以通过语言、 动作和心理描写的方式描述男士对Emma的感激之情,然后写Emma决定通过成立俱乐部给更多的人送去温暖的想法,最后描写Emma挥手告别匆匆赶往学校的心情。为了和第二段首句呼应,第一段最后必须提到Emma想要设立俱乐部的想法。
②根据首句“在艾玛的带领下,希望编织社在她的学校成立了”可知,下文主要写编织社团积极工作温暖了更多的人以及Emma的感悟:即使是最不起眼的行为也能产生最温暖的变化。
2.续写线索:戴围巾——男士对Emma的感激——给更多的人送去温暖——成立希望编织社——分发手工编织品——感触
