Everyone thinks it rains all the time in London. In fact, London has some great weather during late spring, summer, and early autumn. For these reasons, Londoners all know that on a sunny day, the perfect place to go is the parks across the city. Here I’ll share my list of the best parks in London.

While all London parks have a fair share of history behind them. Finsbury Circus Garden stands out for being the first public park in the city, dating from 1607. It is also the largest public open space in the Square Mile. However, the present garden still keeps the original (最初的) look designed by Charles Dance the Younger in 1815. It’s well known for its London plane trees and fine Japanese Pagoda tree — the only one in the city.
Holland Park
Not only is Holland Park one of the best London parks, but it is also one of the finest. What stands out the most from Holland Park are the flowers. It was the Earl of Holland’s wife who first successfully grew dahlias in England! The dahlias are still grown within the park’s 55 acres. In summer, open-air theatre and opera are staged in the park.

Travelling plays an important part in making us feel relaxed and happy. It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River. However, if he has travelled to this place, he can truly relate everything he has studied and will always remember each and every detail of that place.
Nowadays, many people like travelling as they want to explore the world and watch everything they have read about. And this seems to be quite true as practical knowledge is more important and effective (有效的). People like to visit historical places present in different parts of the world and collect information on the same to write books and stories.
Travelling has become easier due to (由于) advancement in technology and transportation (交通). Earlier people used to travel by road or sea and it took many days to travel from one place to another. However, now the situation has changed and people travel to far off places within hours and minutes — thanks to well-built roads and airplanes.
People travel for different purposes, some travel for further education while others travel to relax and enjoy. Many people take a break from their busy schedule and go for a vacation, which makes them feel pleased and energetic (充满活力的).
Many writers and painters travel to different places to experience some of the best things of nature and express them in the form of paintings or books. People also travel for business purposes so as to make money from their business. Students travel for educational purposes. Everyone has a unique reason to travel. Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and it provides knowledge and offers all kinds of benefits (好处) to mankind.

If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning.
It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.
The hippocampus is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) . At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity, we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.
Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损) .
However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and give up anything that takes your attention away. This includes not having your cellphone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between 10 and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty.
Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转) . Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being.
12. What is the secret to improving memory?
A. Learning about brain. B. Recording every details.
C. Having breaks. D. Forming good habits.
13. What factor may influence the connection between different areas of cerebral cortex?
A. Satisfaction. B. Sadness. C. Excitement. D. Happiness.
14. What does the underlined word “conducted” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Found. B. Began. C. Produce D. Organised.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A science report. B. A dictionary.
C. A course plan. D. A textbook.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks.(提高记忆力的秘诀似乎很简单。那就是休息)”可知,提高记忆力的秘诀是休息。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.(因此,疲劳、不良情绪或压力等因素使我们很难将一个区域与另一个区域联系起来)”可知,悲伤可能影响大脑皮层不同区域之间的联系。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损).(与其他专家一起研究如何改善记忆巩固过程。他们发现,不管是健康人还是神经系统受损的人,像休息9到15分钟这样简单的事情都能提高记忆力)”可知,Michael a Dewar与其他专家一起组织进行了一项研究,发现休息9到15分钟可以帮助提高记忆力。故划线词意思是“组织”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.(提高记忆力的秘诀似乎很简单。这是为了休息。事实上,大脑的能量资源比你想象的要有限得多。因此。大约30到45分钟后,大脑很快就会疲劳,注意力水平开始下降)”结合文章主要讲述了提高记忆力的关键就是要适当休息。大脑放空一定的时间才是真正意义的休息,休息好不仅能提高记忆力,对我们的身体也是大有益处,这最可能来自一份科学报告,故选A。

【答案】Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that you are addicted to short videos and lack interest in learning. I’m writing to offer you some suggestions.
Short videos do have some benefits. We can relax ourselves, share good times, and cherish memories. However, in my opinion, firstly, you should strike a balance between leisure activities and learning. Only on the premise of self-control can we benefit from modern technologies rather than being slaves of them. Focus on study, and don’t waste too much time on distractions. Secondly, for other forms of relaxation, you can join your friends in playing various sports activities, such as running, cycling or playing basketball.
I hope my suggestions will be helpful for you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi. Once, I was called at 3 am to pick someone up. When I arrived, the building was completely dark except for the light in a window. Many drivers would wait a short while, and then drove away. But I always went to the door to find the passenger. She might need my help.
So I walked to the door and knocked “Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice. I could hear the sound of something being dragged across the floor. After a long time, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me, with a small suitcase. “Would you carry my bag out to the car?” she said. “I’d like a few moments alone. Then, could you come back and help me?
I took the suitcase to the taxi, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm, and we walked slowly toward the taxi. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.”
When we got in the taxi she gave me an address. Then she asked, “Could you drive through the downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered. “I don’t mind,” she said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to the nursing home.” I saw her eyes shining with tears. “I don’t have any family left,” she continued. “The doctor says I am too old to live alone.”
I quietly turned off the meter (计程器). “Which road do you want me to take?” I asked. “First, take me to Sunrise Street. That’s where I was born.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。

For hours, we drove through the city.

Paragraph 2:
“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching for her purse.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】For hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked. Then we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newly married. The old lady talked a lot about her happy life in the past. I could see her eyes shining with delight from time to time. But sometimes, she also sighed about her difficult life right now. I made up my mind to do something for her. It seemed only seconds before we arrived at Sunrise Street.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching for her purse. “Oh, you owe me nothing,” I replied. Her eyes opened with great surprise. I could see the puzzle on her face. “You have to make a living,” she said. “I’m on my way home, you see. And I can offer you a free ride. Besides, I also want to thank you for sharing your happiness with me during the whole trip,” I explained. Hearing this, the old lady got off the taxi with great delight.

It is also the largest public open space in the Square Mile. However, the present garden still keeps the original (最初的) look designed by Charles Dance the Younger in 1815. It’s well known for its London plane trees and fine Japanese Pagoda tree — the only one in the city.
Holland Park
Not only is Holland Park one of the best London parks, but it is also one of the finest. What stands out the most from Holland Park are the flowers.

Travelling plays an important part in making us feel relaxed and happy. It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River.

People travel for different purposes, some travel for further education while others travel to relax and enjoy. Many people take a break from their busy schedule and go for a vacation, which makes them feel pleased and energetic (充满活力的).
Many writers and painters travel to different places to experience some of the best things of nature and express them in the form of paintings or books. People also travel for business purposes so as to make money from their business. Students travel for educational purposes. Everyone has a unique reason to travel. Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and it provides knowledge and offers all kinds of benefits (好处) to mankind.

If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning.
It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.
The hippocampus is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) . At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity, we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.
Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损) .
However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and give up anything that takes your attention away. This includes not having your cellphone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between 10 and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty.
Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转) . Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being.
12. What is the secret to improving memory?
A. Learning about brain. B. Recording every details.
C. Having breaks. D. Forming good habits.
13. What factor may influence the connection between different areas of cerebral cortex?
A. Satisfaction. B. Sadness. C. Excitement. D. Happiness.
14. What does the underlined word “conducted” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Found. B. Began. C. Produce D. Organised.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A science report. B. A dictionary.
C. A course plan. D. A textbook.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi. Once, I was called at 3 am to pick someone up. When I arrived, the building was completely dark except for the light in a window. Many drivers would wait a short while, and then drove away. But I always went to the door to find the passenger. She might need my help.
So I walked to the door and knocked “Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice. I could hear the sound of something being dragged across the floor. After a long time, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me, with a small suitcase. “Would you carry my bag out to the car?” she said. “I’d like a few moments alone. Then, could you come back and help me?
I took the suitcase to the taxi, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm, and we walked slowly toward the taxi. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.”
When we got in the taxi, she gave me an address. Then she asked, “Could you drive through the downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered. “I don’t mind,” she said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to the nursing home.” I saw her eyes shining with tears. “I don’t have any family left,” she continued. “The doctor says I am too old to live alone.”
I quietly turned off the meter (计程器). “Which road do you want me to take?” I asked. “First, take me to Sunrise Street. That’s where I was born.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
For hours, we drove through the city.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching for her purse.
