Four great places to go in the UK
Centre for Alternative Technology
It began as a community looking for ways of life without fossil fuels(化石燃料). The group included gardeners and engineers and its early experiments looked at wind and solar power. Two years later, a visitor centre was opened to make more people know this community’s lifestyle. Today its renewable tech and gardens attract many visitors.
Wildwood Trust
It is a great place for all ages where you can see amazing wildlife native to Britain. It holds an amazing collection of over 200 British animals. With a huge adventure playground for kids, it is good for families. Wildwood Trust offers half-price tickets to those who arrive by public transport.
St Nicks
It’s surprising that the city centre is just a mile away when you walk through the grassy paths there. The place, now alive with birdsong and wild flowers, was once York’s rubbish tip (垃圾场). Now many apple trees grow there. And there’s a popular mini-Stonehenge in the middle, which is made of stones once thrown there.
Findhorn Foundation
The Findhorn Foundation has been trying to be a living model for the future since the 1960s. This is an eco-village with an arts centre and publishers; there are also films and plays on offer in the Universal Hall. Being in the Findhorn Foundation reminds you that powerful and positive visions for the future can be realized.
36. What is the aim of the Centre for Alternative Technology most probably?
A. To share the idea of green living. B. To call for people to believe in science.
C. To support new technology for fossil fuels. D. To make more scientists join its experiments.
37. What can we know about the Wildwood Trust?
A. It offers many free adventures to children.
B. It often organizes environmental activities.
C. It encourages trips to the place by public transport.
D. It increases the public’s knowledge of foreign animals.
38. What’s special about St Nicks?
A. It has many kinds of fruit trees. B. Some people enjoy collecting stones there.

【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Wildwood Trust offers half-price tickets to those who arrive by public transport.(Wildwood Trust为乘坐公共交通工具前来的游客提供半价门票)”可知,Wildwood Trust鼓励人们乘坐公共交通工具去那个地方。故选C。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The place, now alive with birdsong and wild flowers, was once York’s rubbish tip (垃圾场).(这个地方现在充满了鸟鸣和野花,曾经是约克的垃圾场)”可知,圣尼克斯的特别之处是已经从一个肮脏的地方变成了一个美丽的景点。故选D。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The Findhorn Foundation has been trying to be a living model for the future since the 1960s.(自20世纪60年代以来,Findhorn Foundation会一直试图成为未来的活榜样)”以及“Being in the Findhorn Foundation reminds you that powerful and positive visions for the future can be realized.(加入Findhorn Foundation提醒你,强大而积极的未来愿景是可以实现的)”可知,如果你想体验未来的生活,可以去Findhorn Foundation。故选C。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据标题“Four great places to go in the UK(英国的四个好去处)”结合文章主要介绍了四个英国旅行目的地的情况。可推知,文章选自杂志的“旅行”部分。故选B。
B
One of my earliest memories was walking up to the smell of camp smoke and my mother’s hot chocolate. My parents were poor, and we lived in the countryside in Portland. Dad had two jobs and Mom was disabled, but that didn’t stop them from heading into the Cascade Mountains several times a year.
Our clothes were old and worn and our food was usually cheap and simple. However, we were always satisfied with our hot chocolate, which was made in a traditional way handed down from my grandmother to my mother.
There was no store to buy anything we needed. We just had powdered cocoa in our camp.
Mom would set the smoke-blackened coffee pot at the side of the fire and slowly warm the milk, adding chocolate and sugar, and stirring (搅拌) until the contents became thick and rich brown. The wonderful smell of chocolate filled the camp. More than once, I could remember people that we had just met hours before stepping into our camp to enjoy mother’s creation.
Once we were trapped in our tent (帐篷) for days because of a terrible rainstorm. Every morning I was woken up by the attractive smell of Mom’s hot chocolate.
Now, many years have passed, when we head for the mountains, I still use that worn coffee pot. And we always bring extra cups for the neighbours who will certainly turn up.
I have told my family a lot about Mom, and it seems that nothing brings back those warm memories better than sitting around the fire at night and tasting sweet hot chocolate.

Have you ever heard of “children of the stars”? It might sound mysterious, but the expression refers to children with autism (自闭症). World Autism Awareness Day falls on April 2. It was initiated by the United Nations to raise awareness and promote acceptance of people with autism.
According to the US-based Autism Research Institute, autism is a disorder with symptoms (症状) that appear within the first three years of life. The condition is believed to involve deficits (缺陷) in social communication and interaction as well as restricted, repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities.
Meng Lingdi, whose daughter was diagnosed (诊断) with autism at 2 years old, shared that her daughter wouldn’t pay attention to her when Meng asked her to do something. “She made less eye contact with people compared to other kids,” Meng added.
Children with autism also suffer from physical pain. “Many children with autism experience epilepsy (癫痫) due to differences in brain activity,” said Sun Zhongkai at Beijing Stars and Rain Education Institute for Autism. Epilepsy among people with autism becomes even more prevalent (普遍的) starting from adolescence (青春期), he added.
At present, the precise cause of autism remains unknown, but research indicates that it is likely a result of a mix of developmental, genetic (遗传的), and environmental factors.
“According to our statistics, older parents are more likely to have autistic children than younger parents,” said Sun. “If the first child in a family has autism, the chances of subsequent children also having autism are about 10 times higher than in families where the first child is not autistic. The likelihood of identical twins both having autism is also significant.”
Although autism is a lifelong condition, there are various treatments available. According to Liu Wei, a teacher at the institute with 20 years of experience in teaching people with autism, it is crucial not to view people with autism with a sense of strangeness. Affirmations (肯定) from others will make them feel proud, enabling them to interact with others more effectively. For those close to autism sufferers, such as friends or family, it’s useful to establish certain principles for the individual, such as what is permissible and what is not. They should also have a deep understanding of autism and how to deal with it, which, for children with autism, may “benefit them for a lifetime,” said Sun.
46. What is the purpose of the World Autism Awareness Day’s foundation?
A. To make people with autism easier to get various treatments.
B. To arouse people’s attention to autism and make people with autism easier to be accepted.
C. To make people with autism have a deep understanding of autism.
D. To enable people with autism to interact with others more effectively.
47. What is autism primarily characterized by?
A. High anxiety. B. Sleeping disorders.
C. Communication difficulties. D. Exceptional athletic skills.
48. What can we know about autistic children with epilepsy?
A. They are more active physically. B. They exhibit heightened sensitivity.
C. Their condition worsens with age. D. Their brain functions unusually.
49. According to the text, which factor may be linked to an increased likelihood of having a child with autism?
A. Gender of the child. B. Age of the parents.
C. Education of the parents. D. Environmental pollution.
50. How should we approach individuals with autism, according to the text?
A. Offer encouragement and support. B. Communicate our ideas clearly to them.
C. Be as generous as possible. D. Allow freedom in their choices.
【答案】46. B 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自闭症相关的知识,包括自闭症的主要特征,发病原因等。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It was initiated by the United Nations to raise awareness and promote acceptance of people with autism.(它是由联合国发起的,旨在提高人们对自闭症患者的认识,并促进人们对自闭症患者的接受)”可知,世界提高自闭症意识日基金会的目的是唤起人们对自闭症的关注,让自闭症患者更容易被接受。故选B。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The condition is believed to involve deficits (缺陷) in social communication and interaction as well as restricted, repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities.(这种情况被认为包括社会沟通和互动方面的缺陷,以及限制的、重复的行为、兴趣或活动)”可知,自闭症的主要特征是沟通困难。故选C。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““Many children with autism experience epilepsy (癫痫) due to differences in brain activity,” said Sun Zhongkai at Beijing Stars and Rain Education Institute for Autism.(北京星雨自闭症教育研究所的孙仲凯说:“由于大脑活动的差异,许多自闭症儿童都患有癫痫。”)”可知,患有癫痫的自闭症儿童的大脑功能不正常。故选D。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“According to our statistics, older parents are more likely to have autistic children than younger parents(根据我们的统计,年长的父母比年轻的父母更有可能有自闭症的孩子)”可知,父母的年龄可能与孩子患自闭症的可能性增加有关。故选B。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Affirmations (肯定) from others will make them feel proud, enabling them to interact with others more effectively.(来自他人的肯定会让他们感到自豪,使他们能够更有效地与他人互动)”可知,我们应该对自闭症患者给予鼓励和支持。故选A。
第二部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5 小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
We all know eating out can be a lot of fun. There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup.
We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life. That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.
Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food. When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面) is going to turn out. You know where the greens in your salad come from. You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time. Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.
Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. Buy base ingredients that are fresh, as local as possible and beautiful, and anything you cook will improve greatly. I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality.
I am not saying eating out is a bad thing. But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash. Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food.
51. List at least two benefits of eating out according to the text. (No more than 15 words)
________________
52. What does the underlined word “option” most probably mean? (1 word)
________________
53. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? (No more than 7 words)
________________
54. What advice is given concerning shopping for food in Paragraph 4? ( No more than 4 words)
________________
55. Do you like eating at home? Give your own reasons. (No more than 25 words)
________________
【答案】51. The waiters can wait on you and you can stay with your friends.
52. Choice./Selection./Alternative.
53. The advantages/benefits of eating at home.
54. Less quantity, more quality.
55. Yes, I do. Because eating at home is better for our health. Cooking our own food can keep the ingredients healthy and clean.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了外出就餐和在家就餐各自的好处,并对在家就餐购买食材给出一些建议。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup. (有人为你的每一个需求服务的体验,有一种和朋友在餐馆里的社交体验,当然,还有一种不需要在家里做清理的巨大好处。)”可知,在外就餐的好处是服务员可以为你服务、可以和朋友待在一起、不必做清理工作。故答案为The waiters can wait on you and you can stay with your friends.
【52题详解】
考查词句猜测。划线词句前文“We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life.(我们都知道在外面吃饭很贵,而且我很确定大学不是普通人生活中最赚钱的时期。)”说明大学生没钱在外面吃饭,常选择在家吃饭,从而推知划线词句“That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.(这就是为什么大多数时候在家吃饭真的是许多大学生的唯一选择。)”其中划线词应为“选择”的意思。故答案为Choice./Selection./Alternative。
【53题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food.(在家吃饭并不一定是枯燥、无聊或困难的。它可以也应该是一种充满活力、创造性的体验,改变你看待食物的方式。)”以及“Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.(把在家吃饭作为一个学习和发展你的厨房技能的机会,我向你保证,它们将在你的余生中是有用的和有益的。)”可知,本段主要介绍了在家吃饭的好处。故答案为The advantages/benefits of eating at home。
【54题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. (另一个重要的概念是要记住,当谈到购买食物时——少数量,多质量。)”可知,本段关于购买食物给出的建议是数量要少,质量要高。故答案为Less quantity, more quality。
【55题详解】
考查阅读表达。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了外出就餐和在家就餐的好处。根据问题,可以肯定在家吃饭的好处。表示自己喜欢在家吃饭,因为在家吃饭对我们的健康更有益,自己做饭可以保持食材的健康和清洁。故答案为Yes, I do. Because eating at home is better for our health. Cooking our own food can keep the ingredients healthy and clean。

One of my earliest memories was walking up to the smell of camp smoke and my mother’s hot chocolate. My parents were poor, and we lived in the countryside in Portland. Dad had two jobs and Mom was disabled, but that didn’t stop them from heading into the Cascade Mountains several times a year.
Our clothes were old and worn and our food was usually cheap and simple. However, we were always satisfied with our hot chocolate, which was made in a traditional way handed down from my grandmother to my mother.
There was no store to buy anything we needed. We just had powdered cocoa in our camp.
Mom would set the smoke-blackened coffee pot at the side of the fire and slowly warm the milk, adding chocolate and sugar, and stirring (搅拌) until the contents became thick and rich brown. The wonderful smell of chocolate filled the camp. More than once, I could remember people that we had just met hours before stepping into our camp to enjoy mother’s creation.
Once we were trapped in our tent (帐篷) for days because of a terrible rainstorm. Every morning I was woken up by the attractive smell of Mom’s hot chocolate.
Now, many years have passed, when we head for the mountains, I still use that worn coffee pot. And we always bring extra cups for the neighbours who will certainly turn up.
I have told my family a lot about Mom, and it seems that nothing brings back those warm memories better than sitting around the fire at night and tasting sweet hot chocolate.

Have you ever heard of “children of the stars”? It might sound mysterious, but the expression refers to children with autism (自闭症). World Autism Awareness Day falls on April 2. It was initiated by the United Nations to raise awareness and promote acceptance of people with autism.
According to the US-based Autism Research Institute, autism is a disorder with symptoms (症状) that appear within the first three years of life. The condition is believed to involve deficits (缺陷) in social communication and interaction as well as restricted, repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities.
Meng Lingdi, whose daughter was diagnosed (诊断) with autism at 2 years old, shared that her daughter wouldn’t pay attention to her when Meng asked her to do something. “She made less eye contact with people compared to other kids,” Meng added.
Children with autism also suffer from physical pain. “Many children with autism experience epilepsy (癫痫) due to differences in brain activity,” said Sun Zhongkai at Beijing Stars and Rain Education Institute for Autism. Epilepsy among people with autism becomes even more prevalent (普遍的) starting from adolescence (青春期), he added.
At present, the precise cause of autism remains unknown, but research indicates that it is likely a result of a mix of developmental, genetic (遗传的), and environmental factors.
“According to our statistics, older parents are more likely to have autistic children than younger parents,” said Sun. “If the first child in a family has autism, the chances of subsequent children also having autism are about 10 times higher than in families where the first child is not autistic. The likelihood of identical twins both having autism is also significant.”
Although autism is a lifelong condition, there are various treatments available. According to Liu Wei, a teacher at the institute with 20 years of experience in teaching people with autism, it is crucial not to view people with autism with a sense of strangeness. Affirmations (肯定) from others will make them feel proud, enabling them to interact with others more effectively.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
We all know eating out can be a lot of fun. There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup.
We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life. That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.
Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food. When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面) is going to turn out. You know where the greens in your salad come from. You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time. Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.
Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. Buy base ingredients that are fresh, as local as possible and beautiful, and anything you cook will improve greatly. I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality.
I am not saying eating out is a bad thing. But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash. Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food.
