The British coastline has a wild beauty in the colder months but still offers amazing wildlife, views and fresh air. Our guide looks at the best beaches to visit in the UK in the winter months.
Hauxley Bay, Northumberland
When freezing Scandinavian winds blow across the North Sea, Hauxley Beach can be bleak (荒凉的) indeed. Waves beat the sand, uncovering 8000-year-old remains of trees that grew well in the Doggerland forest that once linked Britain with Europe.
Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire
Robin Hood’s Bay is a hidden bit of history, with its raw cliffs (悬崖), red-roofed cottages and unusual architecture. The beach itself is one of the UK’s best spots for fossil (化石) hunting. Perfect to visit in the winter, you can enjoy a walk along the cliffs or beach to take in the historical village and impressive views and end in one of the many cosy pubs.
Embleton Bay, Northumberland
A beautiful long stretch of beach overlooked by the impressive ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, Embleton Bay is a perfect winter beach. On a clear cold morning the ruins can be seen perfectly from the beach and the beach itself backs onto sand hills, famous for the flowers, grasses and birds.
Heysham, Lancashire
The village of Heysham has some wonderful views to enjoy this winter. The town backs directly onto the cliffs and beaches creating some different beautiful views. The famous graves in the ruins of St. Patrick’s Chapel are also worth a visit and look particularly ghostly covered in a winter mist.

Before McElroy moved into one EngAGE community, she had never imagined her life would be like this. Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project.
Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age.
The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck (粘) on the wall. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter.
Ninety-five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low-income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end.
McElroy concluded, “EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here?’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’”
4. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities?
A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the knowledge of novel writing.
C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues.
5. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean?
A. Changing the aging process.
B. Tasting some overseas food.
C. Decorating the communities.
D. Testing out various methods.
6. Which statement might Carpenter agree with?
A. Seventy is the new twenty.
B. A good start is half the battle.
C. Never teach old dogs new tricks.
D. Passion serves as a driving force.
7. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. Carpenter’s Dream of Helping Poor People
B. EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities for Old People
C. McElroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist
D. Community Is the Source of Strength
C
Since ancient times, plants’ ability to set their eyeless bodies toward the nearest, brightest source of light has interested scholars and caused countless scientific and philosophical (哲学的) debates. Animals use eyes to get a detailed picture of the world around them, including the direction of light. Without obvious physical sensing organs such as eyes, how do plants work out the right direction from which light is coming?
Why and how plants set themselves toward light has been the subject of debate for well over 2,000 years. Early Greek philosophers argued that plants, like animals, were capable of sensation and movement, and even desire and intelligence. But later thinkers such as Aristotle argued that plants were naturally passive, incapable of sensing their environment, much less moving with it.
Now a team of European researchers has hit upon an answer. They report that a roadside wild plant - Arabidopsis, a favorite of plant geneticists - uses the air spaces between its cells (细胞) to cast light, changing the path of light passing through it. In this way, the air channels (通道) create a light variation that helps this plant decide where light is coming from. By taking advantage of air channels to change the direction of light, plants have the ability to “see” with their whole body. Further understanding these structures - how they’re built, what is behind them - is interesting for plant biologists beyond the question of how plants sense light direction.
It could also help drive away Aristotle’s words, which still exist in people’s understanding of plants. Many people have the feeling that plants are very passive - they can’t expect anything; they just do what happens to them. But that idea is based on our expectations of what eyes should look like. Plants, it turns out, have a way of seeing with their whole body. They don’t need anything so clumsy as a pair of eyes to follow the light.
8. Why do plants have the ability to set themselves toward light?
A. Because they lack clear organs.
B. Because they’re able to get a detailed picture.
C. Because they can use eyes to position.
D. Because they have their unique senses.
9. What does the underlined word “passive” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Inactive. B. Sensitive.
C. Attractive. D. Impressive.
10. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Plants are very clever.
B. Plants can’t see anything.
C. Plants could feel something.
D. Plants don’t follow the light.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To prove Aristotle was wrong.
B. To introduce a roadside wild plant.
C. To share an interesting finding.
D. To explain how plants sense light.
D
One of my earliest memories is of being laughed at on my first day of school for speaking with a Dutch accent. I thought my mother was responsible for this and returned home angrily. “It’s three, not tree. Th-ree!” I told her. The strange thing about this memory is that it is probably false. My mother swears it was my brother who did this. This kind of confusion is common in families. As stories are told and retold, they take on a life of their own. Details fade (逐渐消失) and change. It becomes easy to replace one child for another, or to confuse a familiar tale with a personal memory.
In fact, to remember our life we need to be able to turn it into a story, one that makes us as the central character. In this way, we tell ourselves into being.
Our memories are also often self-serving. One study that compared students’ remembered grades with their transcripts (成绩单) found that they were much better at recalling As than Ds. Another found that when students performed better than expected in exams, they remembered feeling more anxious beforehand, heightening their sense of success. Even (or especially) when our memory is not right, it serves us well, helping us to feel like the hero in our own life story.
We all know how our life will end. We will die, and so will everyone we love. “The cure for the horror is story,” Will Storr wrote in his 2019 book, The Science of Storytelling. “Our brains take our attention away from this terrible truth by filling our lives with hopeful goals and encouraging us to fight for them.” Since my children were born, I have become crazy about recording their childhoods, taking endless photos, keeping endless notes, driven by a fear of forgetting that is a form of anticipatory grief, a heightened awareness of loss.
In the digital age, we’re all still renegotiating (重新协商) our relationship with the past. Computers, unlike humans, offer perfect recall — but we must not forget that there is freedom and power in misremembering, in revising our past, in writing ourselves into stories we can live with.
12. Why does the author share one of his earliest memories?
A. To stress the challenges that non-native speakers might face.
B. To introduce the idea that early memories may not be trusted.
C. To show the influence that a mother has on kids’ language learning.
D. To show false memories that result from family members.
13. How does the author explain the concept of “self-serving memory”?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By giving a definition.
C. By giving examples.
D. By conducting a survey.
14. What made the author document his children’s lives?
A. A desire to fight for his children.
B. A fear of losing important moments.
C. An interest in knowing his children’s development.
D. A purpose to teach his children about the importance of history.
15. What’s the best title for this text?
A. The Nature of Memory: Shaping Our Life Stories
B. Childhood Recollections: A Study on Family Stories
C. Memories’ Formation: How Family Stories Shape Us
D. Digital Footprints: Documenting Childhood in the Modern Age
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever looked in your food-waste bin? ____16____ It’s predicted that families in the U.K. create more than six million tonnes of food waste each year. “Food waste” means food that could have been eaten but instead is thrown away. Apples, bananas, bread, potatoes and salad are the most common things that are binned.
With food prices rising, it’s a good time to become a “food-waste warrior”. Not only will it save money, it is good for the environment. After all, growing, packaging and transporting food use a lot of Earth’s resources such as energy and water. ____17____
First, it’s a good idea to find out just how much food goes into your bin. Keep a diary and note down the foods that get thrown away most often — and why. Planning meals for the week with your family can save time and money. For example, meat from a Sunday roast could go into sandwiches on Monday.
____18____ Weigh out pasta or rice you need before you cook it, and before you fill your plate, check how hungry you are so you don’t end up leaving food because you’re too full.
Your freezer (冰箱) is a good way to save food. You can freeze leftovers in a container for another day. ____19____ It’s hard to keep track of food that’s gone to the back of the freezer. You could mark a shelf an “Eat me first” area for anything that has been there for a while.
Finally, use your senses. Some U.K. supermarkets have taken “best before” dates off fruit and vegetables. ____20____ Ask an adult to help. Don’t forget to update your diary to see how much change you can make.
A. Cooking the correct portion size helps too.
B. However, heat any leftovers thoroughly before eating.
C. Potatoes, carrots and turnips however, last a long time if kept in a cool, dark place.
D. Here are some simple tips that can help you and your family become food-waste warriors.
E. It may sound unpleasant but in fact it gives you a clue as to how much food your family throws out.
F. This is done in order to encourage people to use their noses and eyes to work out if something is actually still fine to eat.
G. Fruit that looks a bit sad can be made into a juice for a Friday treat.

Recently, I signed up for a ski group class. I said to the woman who turned out to be my instructor. “I’ve ____21____ many times before. Am I an intermediate (中等生)?” During the ____22____, I was surprised she wasn’t more impressed by the ski performance of me!
When I reached the top of the chairlift, I felt my heart start to ____23____. That’s when the ____24____ held on to me. It released about 30 minutes later, when I was back at the base, having slowly ____25____ sideways. A snowboarder stopped to ask if I was okay, and I wasn’t ____26____. “I shouldn’t be on this trail,” I said, accurately.
How did I get so much ____27____ at skiing? It turns out that simply having skied “many times before” didn’t mean I was getting better at it. ____28____, like many athletes, musicians, or just humans, I may have been getting weaker over time.
Getting better, or learning, requires changing between different types of related tasks, rather than ____29____ the same thing. With skiing, “rather than just doing that same trail over and over again, you’d better go to the hill for _____30_____, then go to another hill that was icy,” my friend _____31_____.
Sometimes it seems like we’re losing ground, but we’re _____32_____ unlocking a new skill. This means that when you’re trying to _____33_____ a new hobby, or a new role at your job or in _____34_____, there are going to be moments that look like failure. But under the surface, you’re _____35_____ and making progress.

Before McElroy moved into one EngAGE community, she had never imagined her life would be like this. Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project.
Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age.
The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck (粘) on the wall. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter.
Ninety-five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low-income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end.
McElroy concluded, “EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here?’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’”
4. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities?
A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the knowledge of novel writing.
C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues.
5. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean?
A. Changing the aging process.
B. Tasting some overseas food.
C. Decorating the communities.
D. Testing out various methods.
6. Which statement might Carpenter agree with?
A. Seventy is the new twenty.
B. A good start is half the battle.
C. Never teach old dogs new tricks.
D. Passion serves as a driving force.
7. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. Carpenter’s Dream of Helping Poor People
B. EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities for Old People
C. McElroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist
D. Community Is the Source of Strength
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B

Since ancient times, plants’ ability to set their eyeless bodies toward the nearest, brightest source of light has interested scholars and caused countless scientific and philosophical (哲学的) debates. Animals use eyes to get a detailed picture of the world around them, including the direction of light. Without obvious physical sensing organs such as eyes, how do plants work out the right direction from which light is coming?
Why and how plants set themselves toward light has been the subject of debate for well over 2,000 years. Early Greek philosophers argued that plants, like animals, were capable of sensation and movement, and even desire and intelligence. But later thinkers such as Aristotle argued that plants were naturally passive, incapable of sensing their environment, much less moving with it.
Now a team of European researchers has hit upon an answer. They report that a roadside wild plant - Arabidopsis, a favorite of plant geneticists - uses the air spaces between its cells (细胞) to cast light, changing the path of light passing through it. In this way, the air channels (通道) create a light variation that helps this plant decide where light is coming from. By taking advantage of air channels to change the direction of light, plants have the ability to “see” with their whole body. Further understanding these structures - how they’re built, what is behind them - is interesting for plant biologists beyond the question of how plants sense light direction.
It could also help drive away Aristotle’s words, which still exist in people’s understanding of plants. Many people have the feeling that plants are very passive - they can’t expect anything; they just do what happens to them. But that idea is based on our expectations of what eyes should look like. Plants, it turns out, have a way of seeing with their whole body. They don’t need anything so clumsy as a pair of eyes to follow the light.
8. Why do plants have the ability to set themselves toward light?
A. Because they lack clear organs.
B. Because they’re able to get a detailed picture.
C. Because they can use eyes to position.
D. Because they have their unique senses.
9. What does the underlined word “passive” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Inactive. B. Sensitive.
C. Attractive. D. Impressive.
10. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Plants are very clever.
B Plants can’t see anything.
C. Plants could feel something.
D. Plants don’t follow the light.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To prove Aristotle was wrong.
B. To introduce a roadside wild plant.
C. To share an interesting finding.
D. To explain how plants sense light.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍植物在没有眼睛等明显的感觉器官的情况下如何感知光线的精确方向以及如何朝向光,欧洲科学家进行了科学研究以及合理的论证。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They report that a roadside wild plant - Arabidopsis, a favorite of plant geneticists - uses the air spaces between its cells (细胞) to cast light, changing the path of light passing through it. In this way, the air channels (通道) create a light variation that helps this plant decide where light is coming from. By taking advantage of air channels to change the direction of light, plants have the ability to “see” with their whole body. (他们报告说,一种路边的野生植物——植物遗传学家最喜欢的拟南芥——利用其细胞之间的空气空间投射光线,改变穿过它的光线路径。通过这种方式,空气通道产生了光线变化,帮助这种植物决定光线的来源。通过利用空气通道改变光线的方向,植物有能力用全身“看”。)”可知,植物可以投射光线,并改变光线路径。通过这种方式,空气通道里产生了一种光的变化,帮助植物判断光从哪里来。由此可推知,植物朝向光是因为它们通过特殊的感官来判断光的方向。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“But later thinkers such as Aristotle argued that plants were naturally passive, incapable of sensing their environment, much less moving with it. (但亚里士多德等后来的思想家认为,植物天生是____的,无法感知环境,更不用说与环境一起移动了。)”可知,Aristotle认为植物无法感知环境,所以是无活力的。结合选项A.passive的意思应为“inactive”,即不活跃的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Plants, it turns out, have a way of seeing with their whole body. They don’t need anything so clumsy as a pair of eyes to follow the light. (事实证明,植物有一种用全身看东西的方式。他们不需要像一双眼睛这样笨拙的东西来跟随光线。)”可知,作者认为植物是能够感知环境的,说明它们能够“感觉”到一些东西。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是第三段中“Now a team of European researchers has hit upon an answer. (现在,一组欧洲研究人员已经找到了答案。)”以及最后一段中的“Plants, it turns out, have a way of seeing with their whole body.

One of my earliest memories is of being laughed at on my first day of school for speaking with a Dutch accent. I thought my mother was responsible for this and returned home angrily. “It’s three, not tree. Th-ree!” I told her. The strange thing about this memory is that it is probably false. My mother swears it was my brother who did this. This kind of confusion is common in families. As stories are told and retold, they take on a life of their own. Details fade (逐渐消失) and change. It becomes easy to replace one child for another, or to confuse a familiar tale with a personal memory.
In fact, to remember our life we need to be able to turn it into a story, one that makes us as the central character. In this way, we tell ourselves into being.
Our memories are also often self-serving. One study that compared students’ remembered grades with their transcripts (成绩单) found that they were much better at recalling As than Ds. Another found that when students performed better than expected in exams, they remembered feeling more anxious beforehand, heightening their sense of success. Even (or especially) when our memory is not right, it serves us well, helping us to feel like the hero in our own life story.
We all know how our life will end. We will die, and so will everyone we love. “The cure for the horror is story,” Will Storr wrote in his 2019 book, The Science of Storytelling. “Our brains take our attention away from this terrible truth by filling our lives with hopeful goals and encouraging us to fight for them.” Since my children were born, I have become crazy about recording their childhoods, taking endless photos, keeping endless notes, driven by a fear of forgetting that is a form of anticipatory grief, a heightened awareness of loss.
In the digital age, we’re all still renegotiating (重新协商) our relationship with the past. Computers, unlike humans, offer perfect recall — but we must not forget that there is freedom and power in misremembering, in revising our past, in writing ourselves into stories we can live with.
12. Why does the author share one of his earliest memories?
A. To stress the challenges that non-native speakers might face.
B. To introduce the idea that early memories may not be trusted.
C. To show the influence that a mother has on kids’ language learning.
D. To show false memories that result from family members.
13. How does the author explain the concept of “self-serving memory”?
A By making comparisons.
B. By giving a definition.
C. By giving examples.
D. By conducting a survey.
14. What made the author document his children’s lives?
A. A desire to fight for his children.
B. A fear of losing important moments.
C. An interest in knowing his children’s development.
D. A purpose to teach his children about the importance of history.
15. What’s the best title for this text?
A. The Nature of Memory: Shaping Our Life Stories
B. Childhood Recollections: A Study on Family Stories
C. Memories’ Formation: How Family Stories Shape Us
D. Digital Footprints: Documenting Childhood in the Modern Age
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever looked in your food-waste bin? ____16____ It’s predicted that families in the U.K. create more than six million tonnes of food waste each year. “Food waste” means food that could have been eaten but instead is thrown away. Apples, bananas, bread, potatoes and salad are the most common things that are binned.
With food prices rising, it’s a good time to become a “food-waste warrior”. Not only will it save money, it is good for the environment. After all, growing, packaging and transporting food use a lot of Earth’s resources such as energy and water. ____17____
First, it’s a good idea to find out just how much food goes into your bin. Keep a diary and note down the foods that get thrown away most often — and why. Planning meals for the week with your family can save time and money. For example, meat from a Sunday roast could go into sandwiches on Monday.
____18____ Weigh out pasta or rice you need before you cook it, and before you fill your plate, check how hungry you are so you don’t end up leaving food because you’re too full.
Your freezer (冰箱) is a good way to save food. You can freeze leftovers in a container for another day. ____19____ It’s hard to keep track of food that’s gone to the back of the freezer. You could mark a shelf an “Eat me first” area for anything that has been there for a while.
Finally, use your senses. Some U.K. supermarkets have taken “best before” dates off fruit and vegetables. ____20____ Ask an adult to help. Don’t forget to update your diary to see how much change you can make.
A. Cooking the correct portion size helps too.
B. However, heat any leftovers thoroughly before eating.
C. Potatoes, carrots and turnips however, last a long time if kept in a cool, dark place.
D. Here are some simple tips that can help you and your family become food-waste warriors.
E. It may sound unpleasant but in fact it gives you a clue as to how much food your family throws out.
F. This is done in order to encourage people to use their noses and eyes to work out if something is actually still fine to eat.
G. Fruit that looks a bit sad can be made into a juice for a Friday treat.
