Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the south downs national park.
The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past-complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money?
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults £14, children 5—17 and students £6.50, under-4s free, family £38 (two adults and two children) or £25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10 a.m.—5 p.m. (last entry 4 p.m.).
1. What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A. Take a shower in the smoky hall. B. Learn construction techniques.
C. Experience rural life centuries ago. D. Stay overnight at craftsman s cottage.
2. How much would a couple with their 3-year-old daughter pay for admission?
A. £25. B. £28. C. £34.5. D. £38.
3. What do we know about Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A. It charges parking fees.
B. It allows visitors to enter until 5 p.m.
C. It is inconveniently located for bus riders.
D. It offers the disabled thoughtful service.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】

During 20 years of stacking (码放) shelves with goods at his family’s supermarket in Pollenca on the Spanish island of Mallorca, Jose Luis-Reig, known as Pep, never gave a thought to the academic world. It was only when visiting the classrooms and passages of mainland universities with his two teenage daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among the books and atmosphere of learning.
After school Pep had intended to do a degree in biology at Barcelona University but had been called on to help run the family business instead.
But the question of “What’s my role in life?“ still kept coming back to him. It wasn’t until a year later that the answer suddenly struck him. When he was at school, other children would come to him with their problems. He developed a reputation and so was invited onto local radio, where the interviewer said, “You’re like a young psychologist.”
Pep was no stranger to change. The family business had originally been a sawmill (锯木厂), but when Pep, then 27, was asked if he wanted to take over, he decided to transform the mill into the town’s first supermarket.
One day in the shop, what the radio presenter said came back to him. After running the idea past his family, he applied to university in Palma to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted.
“I had to get used to being much older than all the other students,” he says.“ In fact, I was older than my professor. But I believe disadvantages can always be advantages. And I ended up helping the others because I’d had more life experience that carries psychological impact, which could reflect classroom theory.
Pep came top of his year and impressed his tutors so much that he was offered a job researching and teaching, which he still does while studying for a master’s in neuropsychology. Now 52, and still in the job, he adds, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.
4. What can we know about Pep in the first paragraph?
A. He felt relaxed in the academic atmosphere.
B. He visited his daughters’ universities frequently.
C. He supported his daughters by arranging shelves.
D. He never quit the thought of going to mainland colleges.
5. What was Pep’s answer to the question of his role in life?
A. To win a reputation. B. To study psychology.
C. To take over his family business. D. To cure children of their problems.
6. What inspired Pep to apply to the university in Palma at 46?
A. His pursuit of a better career. B. The radio presenter’s comment.
C. His classmates’ encouragement. D. The proposal of the family members.
7. Which quality might have helped Pep a lot in the university?
A. Integrity. B. Self-discipline. C. Sensitivity. D. Optimism.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了经营家庭超市20年的Pep在接受电台采访时的评论,决定申请去帕尔玛大学学习心理学,并在46岁被录取,实现了自己的梦想,并最终得到一份研究和教学的工作。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was only when visiting the classrooms and passages of mainland universities with his two teenage daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among the books and atmosphere of learning.(只是在和两个十几岁的女儿一起参观内地大学的教室和通道时,他才突然觉得自己在书本和学习氛围中感到宾至如归)”可知,在与自己的女儿参观本地大学时,Pep会有一种宾至如归的感觉。由此可知,Pep在学术氛围中感到很轻松。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It wasn’t until a year later that the answer suddenly struck him. When he was at school, other children would come to him with their problems. He developed a reputation and so was invited onto local radio, where the interviewer said, “You’re like a young psychologist.(直到一年后,答案才突然降临到他心头。当他在学校时,其他孩子会带着他们的问题来找他。他声名鹊起,因此被邀请到当地电台,采访者说:“你就像一个年轻的心理学家。”)”可知,Pep在学校的时候,他经常帮助学生解决问题,因此而声名鹊起。由此推知,Pep认为人生角色的答案是治愈孩子的问题。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He developed a reputation and so was invited onto local radio, where the interviewer said, “You’re like a young psychologist.(他声名鹊起,因此被邀请到当地电台,采访者说:“你就像一个年轻的心理学家。”)”以及倒数第三段中的“One day in the shop, what the radio presenter said came back to him.(有一天在商店里,电台主持人说的话又回到了他脑海中)”可知,在接受电台采访时,记者说Pep很像一位年轻的心理学家,Pep想到这句评论后申请读大学。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But I believe disadvantages can always be advantages. And I ended up helping the others because I’d had more life experience that carries psychological impact, which could reflect classroom theory.(但我相信缺点可以是优势。我最终帮助了其他人,因为我有更多的生活经验,这些经验会带来心理影响,这可以反映课堂理论)”可知,Pep进入大学学习时,年龄很大,但是Pep却把这种劣势当成优势,可以用自己的生活经验帮助其他人,这些生活经验的作用在课堂理论上得以反映。由此推知,Pep在上学期间的乐观态度帮助他很多。故选D项。
C
A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
8. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A. To explain the use of a software program.
B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D. To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
9. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Arguments. B. Doubts. C. Errors. D. Differences.
10. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A. Create rules. B. Comprehend meaning.
C. Talk fluently. D. Identify difficult words.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C. Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍的是在辩论中战胜人类的名为Project Debater的软件程序。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.(上周,在旧金山的一场公开辩论中,一个名为Project Debater的软件程序击败了它的人类对手,其中包括以色列前全国辩论冠军Noa Ovadia。)”可知,作者在第一段提到Noa Ovadia的目的是展示Project Debater的聪明。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make.(尽管Project Debater很聪明,但它也有一些弱点。它从文档库和预先构建的参数中提取句子,并将它们串在一起。这可能会导致人类不会犯的错误。)”和“will no doubt be ironed out(毫无疑问会被解决)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“这样的错误会被纠正,被解决”,划线词wrinkles的意思是“错误”,和errors意思相近,故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant.(Hammond所指的是意义的问题,而意义是区分最不聪明的人类和最聪明的机器的关键。计算机使用符号。它的程序指定了一组将一串符号转换为另一串符号的规则。但它并没有具体说明这些符号的含义。事实上,对于计算机来说,意义是无关紧要的。)”可知,根据Hammond的说法,Project Debater不能理解意义,故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations.(意义的产生是通过社会互动的过程,而不是计算的过程,这种互动塑造了我们头脑中符号的内容。赋予意义的规则不仅存在于我们的头脑中,也存在于社会之外,存在于社会记忆、社会习俗和社会关系中。)”可知,从最后一段我们能了解到社会互动是理解符号的关键。故选A。

A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads.
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.
12. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Running out of. B. Keeping away from.
C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of.
13. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced?
A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants.
C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland.
14. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens?
A. Traditional. B. Odd-looking.
C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The future of gardening is WILD. B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS.
C. Matrix gardens need more CARE. D. Old garden plots work WONDERS.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型园艺设计方法——矩阵种植。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作,甚至承担一些设计工作)”可知,矩阵种植是让大自然自身承接更多的工作;结合常识和划线词所在句“Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(Eschewing化肥和电动工具,它基于一个极其简单的原则:更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”中“to garden more like nature does”可推知,要像大自然那样进行园艺种植,让大自然自身承接更多的工作,就不需要使用化肥和电动工具。所以划线词“Eschewing”的意思是“避开、远离”,与“Keeping away from.”同义。故选B项。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance.(这个概念诞生于二战后,当时德国城市规划者试图以一种可复制且需要最少维护的方式种植大片公园绿地)”可知,引入矩阵种植的想法是为了开发低维护成本的公园绿地。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four season interest and serving the needs of wildlife.(荷兰植物学家兼设计师Piet Oudolf的花园推广了这种风格,在种植组合中增添了艺术气息,同时玩转色彩和形态,四季都有看点,还满足了野生动物的需求)”可知,Piet Oudolf的花园有艺术气息,很有品味。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作,甚至承担一些设计工作。它避开化肥和电动工具,基于一个极其简单的原则:更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”和最后一段中“With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.(随着人类投入的大幅减少,花园的生态系统可以良好发展。成熟的矩阵花园不需要我们给予大多数花园的维持手段:化肥、分株、定期浇水。与传统花园地块相比,它们增加了碳吸收,减少了雨水径流,并显著改善了栖息地和生物多样性)”可知,文章主要介绍了矩阵种植这种新型园艺设计方法,它让花园更接近自然、野生的状态,未来园艺可能会朝着这种更自然、野生的方向发展。故A项“The future of gardening is WILD(园艺的未来是自然的)”能概括文章主旨,适合做文章标题。故选A项。

Tips for online learning
Online learning has the same basic elements as face-to-face learning. The major difference is that instruction is delivered online. Many of the strategies for effective face-to-face learning also apply to online learning. ___16___Here are some strategies we recommend.
Create space to learn. Invest some time to understand your needs and preferences as a learner, and what an effective study environment looks like for you. For example, you might need a quiet place to study or you might need to listen to classical music. Consider what equipment you might need. Wherever you study, try to minimize distractions. ___17___
Manage your time effectively. Spend some time getting familiar with your online courses, understanding what is expected of you, mapping out key due dates, and planning study time.___18___Research shows that learners gain more information if they spread their study over multiple days or sessions. Make sure your routine works with your other commitments so you’re more likely to stick to it.
___19___Just as with face-to-face learning, mental energy counts: take time to reflect on whether you have understood the materials, try to remember and sort the information you have learned to aid memory test your understanding, mix different concepts and skills into the same study session to build connections and fluencies, ask questions, participate in class discussions, and try teaching concepts to others.
Ask for assistance! In an online learning environment, you may need to ask lots of questions and take ownership over shaping the learning experience so that it meets your needs.___20___
Finally, if you’re facing specific challenges such as illness, mental health, accessibility, balancing childcare responsibilities, etc., it’s important for you to reach out to your instructors or the relevant student support services for discussion and creative problem-solving.
A. Regularly reflect on the course materials.
B. Actively engage with what you have learnt.
C. A consistent routine will help you stay on track.
D. However, online learning may require some additional skills to be successful.
E. At the end of the week, reflect on how you did, and adjust your routine as required.
F. This might mean asking your instructors or peers for help, or attending study groups.
G. Work with your roommates or family to create boundaries so you can stay focused.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. F

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了京西太平鼓。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:它展现了深厚的文化元素,于2006年被列入中国第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。分析句子可知,include(把……列为一部分)是句中谓语动词,与主语it之间是被动关系,结合时间状语in 2006可知,讲述过去的事情,应使用一般过去时态,又因主语是第三人称单数代词,所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态,单数形式。故填was included。
【37题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:这种艺术最早的历史记载可以追溯到春秋时期。句中表示“最早的历史记载”,结合空格前定冠词the可知,应用形容词最高级形式earliest作定语,修饰名词historical references。故填earliest。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:清初,它开始在京城内外流行,后来传入北京门头沟区。分析句子可知,提示词作宾语,应用名词形式popularity,意为“流行,普及”,抽象名词,不可数。故填popularity。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:在古代,人们在除夕之夜在皇宫里敲鼓,以带来和平。New Year’s Eve是“除夕”,是在具体的某一天前用介词on。故填on。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种类型的鼓舞通常在农历年的最后一个月和第一个月在许多地方节日活动中表演,从而表达人们对和平和繁荣的一年的期盼。分析句子可知,“(perform) during the last and first month of the lunar year in many local festive activities”作主语补足语,perform是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语This type of drum dance之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填performed。
【41题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:这种类型的鼓舞通常在农历年的最后一个月和第一个月在许多地方节日活动中表演,从而表达人们对和平和繁荣的一年的期盼。根据句意,提示词与名词hope之间是所属关系,表示“人们的期盼”,应用名词所有格people’s作定语。故填people’s。
【42题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:在一场表演中,鼓手们左手拿鼓,右手拿木槌,表演各种舞蹈动作。在when, while, if, as if, though(或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中,常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。结合句意,分析子可知,“while (hold) the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands”是时间状语从句,原句为“while they are holding the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands”,符合状语从句省略条件,省略they are后,应保留现在分词holding。故填holding。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:鼓乐体现了中国传统的审美观念,具有鲜明的地方特色。分析句子可知,空格处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the drum playing,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的几十年里,门头沟区一直在努力保护这一标志性的民间舞蹈文化。分析句子可知,make是句中谓语动词,与主语efforts之间是被动关系,结合时间状语In the past decades可知,应使用现在完成时态,又因主语是复数名词,所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上,谓语应用现在完成时的被动语态,复数形式。故填have been made。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:今天,京西太平鼓这一历史悠久的民间艺术正在被年轻人所接受,并在世界舞台上展示着其生动的艺术魅力。结合句意分析句子,“is being taken up...”和“is presenting ...”是并列谓语动词,用连词and连接。故填and。

第四部分 课内句子翻译。(每空1分,满分10分)
46. 想要促使不良习惯朝着积极的方向转化,我们必须首先审视自己的坏习惯循环,然后尽力去调整。
To ________________ in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them.
【答案】facilitate a positive change
【解析】
【详解】考查动词和名词。根据中文提示可知,对比中英文可知,表示“促使不良习惯朝着积极的方向转化”,可理解为“促使积极改变我们的坏习惯”,“促使”可用动词facilitate,且这里应用原形,与前面To构成不定式;表示“积极”,可用形容词positive,修饰change“改变”,change此处表示泛指,用不定冠词修饰。故填facilitate a positive change。
47. 防止这些不良习惯支配青少年的生活是至关重要的。
To prevent harmful habits like these from ______ is essential.
【答案】dominating teenagers’ lives
【解析】
【详解】考查动词和名词。根据句意和中文提示可知,表示“支配”应用dominate,为动词;表示“青少年的生活”应用teenagers’ lives,作动词后宾语,且介词from后应用动名词形式。故填dominating teenagers’ lives。
48. 这激发了我的动力
This ______.
【答案】gets me motivated
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。根据所给中文提示词和英文翻译,需翻译部分是“激发了我的动力”,应用动词短语get sb. motivated“激励某人”,过去分词作宾补,句子描述目前事实,应用一般现在时,主语是this,应用第三人称单数形式。故填gets me motivated。
49. 她们乘坐出租车前往路易斯湖。那里湛蓝的湖水美丽异常,摄人心魄。
They took a taxi to Lake Louise where the blue water ______ away with its ______.
【答案】 ①. took their breath ②. exceptional beauty
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、形容词、名词和副词。根据句意和中文提示可知,“摄人心魄”常见的英文表达有“take one’s breath away”,句子主语是the blue water,这里用一般过去时,所以第一个空填took their breath;表示“美丽异常”可以用exceptional beauty,为名词短语,作介词后宾语,其中exceptional,表“异常的”,为形容词作定语。故填took their breath;exceptional beauty。
50. 站在远处,她们看到湖南边的尼亚加拉大瀑布升腾而起的水雾,惊叹不已。
______, they ______ misty clouds rising from the great Niagara Falls.
【答案】 ①. Standing in the distance ②. were astonished to see
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、名词和形容词。根据句意及所给句子可知,“站在远处”可以用stand in the distance来表达,且这里应用现在分词短语作伴随状语,逻辑主语是句子的主语they,stand与they之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词形式,且句首时首字母应大写;“看到……惊叹不已”可以用be astonished to see来表达,其中be astonished to do sth.,表示“对做某事感到惊讶、惊叹”,句子描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,主语是they,所以be动词用were。故填①Standing in the distance;②were astonished to see。
51. 有强有力和全面证据表明,气温上升导致世界范围内极端天气和自然灾害增加,不仅造成严重破坏,而且夺去了人的生命。
There is ______ that the rise in temperature has led to______ extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide, not only causing serious damage, but also______.
【答案】 ①. strong and comprehensive evidence ②. an increase in ③. costing human lives
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、名词和形容词。根据中文提示可知,“有强有力和全面的证据表明” 常见的表达为 “there is strong and comprehensive evidence that...”,其中that后引到同位语从句, strong and comprehensive(强有力和全面的)为形容词短语作定语;表示“在……方面增加”可以用an increase in,为固定搭配;表示“夺去了人的生命”可以理解为“以人命为代价”,可翻译为cost human lives,“不仅……而且……”连接并列结构,causing是现在分词形式,所以这里cost也用现在分词形式。故填①strong and comprehensive evidence;②an increase in;③costing human lives。

53. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Choking victims usually have only four minutes before they collapse and sometimes die, leaving no time for an ambulance to arrive. To solve this problem, in 1974, an American doctor, Henry Heimlich, created the Heimlich manoeuvre, saving thousands of lives around the world. Doing the Heimlich manoeuvre is quick, practical, and easy. It is so easy, in fact, that almost anyone can learn how.
Chen Wei, a high school student in Beijing, never thought that he could save a life with what he had learned in school. One day, Chen was having his dinner when he heard someone screaming from another table. A fellow diner at the restaurant, Zhang Tao, was choking on some steak. He was now holding his throat with his face turning red, while his desperate friends were slapping him on the back.
Chen got up and ran to Zhang at once. With the help of Zhang’s friends, he was able to help Zhang to his feet. Then, Chen slapped Zhang’s back in an attempt to force out the obstruction, but it didn’t work.
注意:续写词数应为80个左右。
(请读取提示句的关键词作为写作要点,并说明学习急救知识的意义。)
Chen asked Zhang’s friends to call the ambulance services and began to perform Heimlich manoeuvre.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Chen asked Zhang’s friends to call the ambulance services and began to perform Heimlich manoeuvre. He stood behind Zhang calmly, wrapped his arms around his waist, made a fist with one hand, placed it slightly above Zhang’s navel, and grasped it with the other hand. Then, he forcefully pulled inward and upward in quick, repeated motions. Suddenly, the piece of steak flew out, and Zhang gasped for air, his breathing gradually normalizing. Zhang was thankful to Chen’s kind act. This incident highlights the profound significance of learning first-aid knowledge. It empowers ordinary individuals like Chen to act promptly in emergencies, potentially saving lives and reducing harm when professional medical help isn’t immediately available.
【解析】

A
Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the south downs national park
The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past-complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money?
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults £14, children 5—17 and students £6.50, under-4s free, family £38 (two adults and two children) or £25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10 a.m.—5 p.m. (last entry 4 p.m.).
1. What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A. Take a shower in the smoky hall. B. Learn construction techniques.
C. Experience rural life centuries ago. D. Stay overnight at craftsman s cottage.
2. How much would a couple with their 3-year-old daughter pay for admission?
A. £25. B. £28. C. £34.5. D. £38.
3. What do we know about Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A. It charges parking fees.
B. It allows visitors to enter until 5 p.m.
C. It is inconveniently located for bus riders.
D. It offers the disabled thoughtful service.
B
During 20 years of stacking (码放) shelves with goods at his family’s supermarket in Pollenca on the Spanish island of Mallorca, Jose Luis-Reig, known as Pep, never gave a thought to the academic world. It was only when visiting the classrooms and passages of mainland universities with his two teenage daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among the books and atmosphere of learning.
After school Pep had intended to do a degree in biology at Barcelona University but had been called on to help run the family business instead.
But the question of “What’s my role in life?“ still kept coming back to him. It wasn’t until a year later that the answer suddenly struck him. When he was at school, other children would come to him with their problems. He developed a reputation and so was invited onto local radio, where the interviewer said, “You’re like a young psychologist.”
Pep was no stranger to change. The family business had originally been a sawmill (锯木厂), but when Pep, then 27, was asked if he wanted to take over, he decided to transform the mill into the town’s first supermarket.
One day in the shop, what the radio presenter said came back to him. After running the idea past his family, he applied to university in Palma to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted.
“I had to get used to being much older than all the other students,” he says.“ In fact, I was older than my professor. But I believe disadvantages can always be advantages. And I ended up helping the others because I’d had more life experience that carries psychological impact, which could reflect classroom theory.
Pep came top of his year and impressed his tutors so much that he was offered a job researching and teaching, which he still does while studying for a master’s in neuropsychology. Now 52, and still in the job, he adds, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
8. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A. To explain the use of a software program.
B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D. To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
9. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A Arguments. B. Doubts. C. Errors. D. Differences.
10. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A. Create rules. B. Comprehend meaning.
C. Talk fluently. D. Identify difficult words.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C. Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.
D
A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads.
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.
12. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Running out of. B. Keeping away from.
C. Putting up with. D. Taking advantage of.
13. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced?
A. To control weeds in large gardens. B. To bring in foreign species of plants.
C. To conserve soil and water resources. D. To develop low-maintenance parkland.
14. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens?
A. Traditional. B. Odd-looking.
C. Tasteful. D. Well-protected.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The future of gardening is WILD. B. Nature treats all lives as EQUALS.
C. Matrix gardens need more CARE. D. Old garden plots work WONDERS.

53. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Choking victims usually have only four minutes before they collapse and sometimes die, leaving no time for an ambulance to arrive. To solve this problem, in 1974, an American doctor, Henry Heimlich, created the Heimlich manoeuvre, saving thousands of lives around the world. Doing the Heimlich manoeuvre is quick, practical, and easy. It is so easy, in fact, that almost anyone can learn how.
Chen Wei, a high school student in Beijing, never thought that he could save a life with what he had learned in school. One day, Chen was having his dinner when he heard someone screaming from another table. A fellow diner at the restaurant, Zhang Tao, was choking on some steak. He was now holding his throat with his face turning red, while his desperate friends were slapping him on the back.
Chen got up and ran to Zhang at once. With the help of Zhang’s friends, he was able to help Zhang to his feet. Then, Chen slapped Zhang’s back in an attempt to force out the obstruction, but it didn’t work.
注意:续写词数应为80个左右。
(请读取提示句关键词作为写作要点,并说明学习急救知识的意义。)
Chen asked Zhang’s friends to call the ambulance services and began to perform Heimlich manoeuvre.
