Four Best of British Markets
Are you looking for food, antiques, collectors’ items or just random junk? Here are some of the finest markets in the world for you.
Edinburgh Farmers’ Market
Traders in Edinburgh have long sold their goods in the shadow of the city’s spectacular castle. It takes place on Castle Terrace every Saturday and attracts a huge crowd with its locally sourced goods. The market is now in its 15th year and champions the very best in Scottish produce.

Zhao Yishen bends over, his eyes staring at the woodblock (木刻印版). Holding a chisel (凿子) in his right hand, he guides it forward carefully and exactly across the woodblock using his left hand. To carve the woodblocks, the young craftsman (匠人) has to hold this position for six hours. He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.
“It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your chisel,” says Zhao. Zhao is now the only full-time carver working at the Zhuyu Shanfang studio, a workshop that focuses on creating woodblock-printed books in Beijing. Each carved woodblock has ink applied and goes on to print a text onto hundreds of pieces of paper. Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day, which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.
As a teenager he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library, and the curiosity of how the books were made led him to get a job at the Guangling Guji ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, in 2011 after graduating as a law major from college.
Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. Zhao was introduced to one of the technique’s masters, Chen Yishi, in 2012 and started to learn the skill from him.
In Zhao’s mind, the inked woodblock is a work of art. After a year of learning from Chen, Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang studio in 2013, where he upgraded his carving skills. With his progress, his carved woodblocks have been used for more and more books over the past years.
“I have just learned the basic skills, but to master it, I still need years of practice,” says Zhao. “A good craftsman can carve an entire book with every single character lined evenly (均匀排列).”
4. What can we know about Zhao Yishen’s work?
A. It needs much effort and time. B. It involves the publishing work.
C. It includes creating characters. D. It is a flexible part-time job.
5. What made Zhao Yishen become a carver?
A. The family influence. B. His interest in ancient Chinese books.
C. The difficulty of finding a proper job. D. His major in college.
6. Which can best describe Zhao Yishen as a carver?
A. Creative and confident. B. Talented and knowledgeable.
C. Ambitious and clever. D. Modest and hard-working.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. The popularity of woodblocks. B. A craftsman with a traditional skill.
C. A traditional block printing studio. D. The development of woodblock-printed books.

Of the many colorful Romanian traditions that are brought to life every year, the Bear Dance is one of the most inspiring. This folk tradition dates back to thousands of years ago.
Traditionally, the arrival of the “bears” is announced by a small group of “irozi” who blow whistles to a rhythm (节奏) set by the head bear tamer (训兽师). Chosen for his leadership skills, the head tamer is the one who decides when each of the acts is played and gives the signs.
The “bears” dance to the beat set by the flutes and the drums. Wearing the special costumes (戏服) requires strength and confidence, with the heaviest of costumes weighing up to 50 kilos.
When the person wearing the costume is standing up straight, the “bear” looks up. During the dance, the wearer must move forward and shake his or her body to the left and to the right while taking small steps either to the front or to the side.
The Bear Dance symbolizes the death and rebirth of time. Performed between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, this ancient celebration brings together the whole community, who gather to watch the performance. The Bear Dance sees men of all ages, and increasingly more women, who are dressed in real bear skins and dance to the rhythm of flutes and drums to drive off evil spirits and ring in the new year.
By tradition, the group of the Bear Dance, which includes 6 to 24 “bears” would visit every family of the village, accompanied by up to three singing bear tamers, several characters wearing women’s clothes and drummers. While this tradition is still observed in many villages, in cities and towns it usually takes the form of a parade that ends with a major performance.
8 What do we know about the Bear Dance?
A. It is specially performed by bears. B. It is better celebrated in cities.
C. It is a tradition with a long history. D. It is a daily sport in Romania.
9. How does the Bear Dance begin?
A. Several characters beat drums. B. The bear tamer dances to a rhythm.
C. Some performers played the flutes. D. A group of members blow whistles.
10. Why do the locals hold the Bear Dance every year?
A. To welcome the arrival of the new year. B. To celebrate the positive part of life.
C. To call on people to protect wild animals. D. To provide themselves with a way to have fun.
11. Which part of a magazine is the text probably taken from?
A. Nature. B. Culture. C. Business. D. Environment.
D
If you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds (读心术)? Wouldn’t that be cool?
Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow he or she to talk to a computer — without anyone else hearing.
The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When a person wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) signals in the person’s jaw (下颌) and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words.
The device is fairly accurate. In a 10-person trial, AlterEgo had the 92 percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines humans and machines in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thought?” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.
So what effect could this have on communication? AlterEgo can change the way humans communicate with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their computer or mobile phone; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without breaking in on the conversation. The device can also help people communicate with their voice in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
12. Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1?
A. To ask readers for their opinions. B. To show the author’s curiosity.
C. To lead in the topic of the text. D. To inspire readers’ imagination.
13. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Questions. B. Computers. C. Devices. D. Signals.
14 What’s the researchers’ attitude toward AlterEgo?
A. Confused. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Unconcerned.
15. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication?
A. People can communicate more smoothly. B. People will become a good mind-reader.
C. People no longer need mobile phones. D. People can apply AI assistants skillfully.

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。
We moved to a small seaside community in New Zealand 10 years ago, because my husband Phil worked as a biologist and he had to do research near the sea. I had seen seals (海豚) around Pilot Bay, which is near here. Sometimes you see them out on the rocks, sunning themselves or playing-but usually in their own territory. They never thought about disturbing their neighbors.
It was a dark winter morning in August this year when a seal came. At 5:50 a.m., I left the house to go fitness training. I went down to the car parked in the driveway and heard a growl (咆哮). I thought our cat, Coco, must have chased a dog under the car. I jumped into the car to avoid getting my ankles bitten, and moved slowly, but then I felt the car hit something. When I got out to have a look, I couldn’t see anything and thought it must have moved on. Then when I got back into my seat, I saw a baby seal in the headlights.
I thought, Oh, my God, “but didn’t panic—the ocean is just down the driveway and I thought it would find its way back. Off I went to the training center and gave everyone there a laugh when I said, “Sorry I’m late; there was a seal under the car.” I didn’t think about it again until I got home. As I walked through the garage (车库), I noticed our baskets had been moved. I wondered if it was the seal, but then I guessed it could not be the seal because I didn’t think it could fit through the cat door, which was the only way into the garage. But I was wrong. As I opened the door to the house, I brushed something and heard this flip-flip-flip-flip sound, and thought, “My God, that is the seal.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
It was so cute like a lovely soft toy.

Zhao Yishen bends over, his eyes staring at the woodblock (木刻印版). Holding a chisel (凿子) in his right hand, he guides it forward carefully and exactly across the woodblock using his left hand. To carve the woodblocks, the young craftsman (匠人) has to hold this position for six hours. He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.
“It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your chisel,” says Zhao. Zhao is now the only full-time carver working at the Zhuyu Shanfang studio, a workshop that focuses on creating woodblock-printed books in Beijing. Each carved woodblock has ink applied and goes on to print a text onto hundreds of pieces of paper. Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day, which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.
As a teenager he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library, and the curiosity of how the books were made led him to get a job at the Guangling Guji ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, in 2011 after graduating as a law major from college.
Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. Zhao was introduced to one of the technique’s masters, Chen Yishi, in 2012 and started to learn the skill from him.
In Zhao’s mind, the inked woodblock is a work of art. After a year of learning from Chen, Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang studio in 2013, where he upgraded his carving skills. With his progress, his carved woodblocks have been used for more and more books over the past years.
“I have just learned the basic skills, but to master it, I still need years of practice,” says Zhao. “A good craftsman can carve an entire book with every single character lined evenly (均匀排列).”
4. What can we know about Zhao Yishen’s work?
A. It needs much effort and time. B. It involves the publishing work.
C. It includes creating characters. D. It is a flexible part-time job.
5. What made Zhao Yishen become a carver?
A. The family influence. B. His interest in ancient Chinese books.
C. The difficulty of finding a proper job. D. His major in college.
6. Which can best describe Zhao Yishen as a carver?

Of the many colorful Romanian traditions that are brought to life every year, the Bear Dance is one of the most inspiring. This folk tradition dates back to thousands of years ago.
Traditionally, the arrival of the “bears” is announced by a small group of “irozi” who blow whistles to a rhythm (节奏) set by the head bear tamer (训兽师). Chosen for his leadership skills, the head tamer is the one who decides when each of the acts is played and gives the signs.
The “bears” dance to the beat set by the flutes and the drums. Wearing the special costumes (戏服) requires strength and confidence, with the heaviest of costumes weighing up to 50 kilos.
When the person wearing the costume is standing up straight, the “bear” looks up. During the dance, the wearer must move forward and shake his or her body to the left and to the right while taking small steps either to the front or to the side.
The Bear Dance symbolizes the death and rebirth of time. Performed between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, this ancient celebration brings together the whole community, who gather to watch the performance. The Bear Dance sees men of all ages, and increasingly more women, who are dressed in real bear skins and dance to the rhythm of flutes and drums to drive off evil spirits and ring in the new year.
By tradition, the group of the Bear Dance, which includes 6 to 24 “bears” would visit every family of the village, accompanied by up to three singing bear tamers, several characters wearing women’s clothes and drummers. While this tradition is still observed in many villages, in cities and towns it usually takes the form of a parade that ends with a major performance.
8. What do we know about the Bear Dance?
A. It is specially performed by bears. B. It is better celebrated in cities.
C. It is a tradition with a long history. D. It is a daily sport in Romania.
9. How does the Bear Dance begin?
A. Several characters beat drums. B. The bear tamer dances to a rhythm.
C. Some performers played the flutes. D. A group of members blow whistles.
10. Why do the locals hold the Bear Dance every year?
A. To welcome the arrival of the new year. B. To celebrate the positive part of life.
C. To call on people to protect wild animals. D. To provide themselves with a way to have fun.

If you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds (读心术)? Wouldn’t that be cool?
Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow he or she to talk to a computer — without anyone else hearing.
The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When a person wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) signals in the person’s jaw (下颌) and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words.
The device is fairly accurate. In a 10-person trial, AlterEgo had the 92 percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines humans and machines in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thought?” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.
So what effect could this have on communication? AlterEgo can change the way humans communicate with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their computer or mobile phone; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without breaking in on the conversation. The device can also help people communicate with their voice in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
12. Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1?
A To ask readers for their opinions. B. To show the author’s curiosity.
C. To lead in the topic of the text. D. To inspire readers’ imagination.
13. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Questions. B. Computers. C. Devices. D. Signals.
14. What’s the researchers’ attitude toward AlterEgo?
A. Confused. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Unconcerned.
15. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication?
A. People can communicate more smoothly. B. People will become a good mind-reader.
C. People no longer need mobile phones. D. People can apply AI assistants skillfully.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院的研究人员开发的一种名为AlterEgo的可穿戴设备,该设备能够读取人的思维信号,实现人与计算机的无声交流。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you were a superhero, what would your super power be? Would you want to fly or be invisible? Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds (读心术)? Wouldn’t that be cool?(如果你是一个超级英雄,你的超能力会是什么?你想飞还是隐形?或者,也许你更愿意拥有读心术的能力?那不是很酷吗?)”和第二段“Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow he or she to talk to a computer — without anyone else hearing.(读心术并不像你想象的那么牵强。事实上,麻省理工学院的研究人员已经开发出一种可穿戴设备,可以表达一个人的想法,并允许他或她与计算机交谈,而不会被其他人听到)”可知,第一段通过提出一系列假设性的问题,如成为超级英雄后的超能力选择,是为了引出后文关于“读心术”这一主题的讨论,即麻省理工学院开发的AlterEgo设备。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When a person wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) signals in the person’s jaw (下颌) and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words.(当佩戴该设备的人想到一个单词或短语但没有说出来时,AlterEgo会捕捉到该人下颌和面部的神经肌肉信号。AlterEgo将这些信号发送到计算机,计算机通过编程将它们与特定的单词联系起来)”可知,AlterEgo设备捕捉神经肌肉信号并发送给计算机,计算机再将它们与特定的单词联系起来,所以指示代词“them”指代的是上文提到的“神经肌肉信号”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines humans and machines in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thought?” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.(研究人员表示,随着时间的推移,这一数字还会增加。“我们的想法是:我们能否拥有一个更内在的计算平台,在某些方面将人类和机器结合起来,让人感觉像是我们自己思想的内在延伸?”麻省理工学院媒体实验室的研究生Arnav Kapur说)”可知,研究人员认为它是一个有潜力的计算平台,能够提升人机交互的体验,所以对AlterEgo设备的态度是积极的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“AlterEgo can change the way humans communicate with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their computer or mobile phone; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without breaking in on the conversation. The device can also help people communicate with their voice in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.(AlterEgo可以改变人类与计算机交流的方式,让我们在不被任何人知道的情况下与亚马逊的Alexa或苹果的Siri等人工智能助手无声地连接。如果一个人正在交谈,想查找一些信息,他们不必拿出电脑或手机;相反,他们只需要想这个问题。AlterEgo会在不打断对话的情况下回答。该设备还可以帮助人们在嘈杂的环境中用声音交流,比如在工厂车间或航空母舰的甲板上)”可知,AlterEgo设备通过读取人的思维信号,实现了人与计算机的无声交流,无需中断对话或拿出设备查找信息,使得人们在交流过程中更加顺畅。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了被誉为“瓜后”的吴明珠的杰出贡献。她是中国工程院院士,通过六十多年的努力,培育了超过两万种中国的新种子品种,对中国西瓜产业的发展做出了巨大贡献。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国自2018年以来一直是世界上最大的西瓜生产国,而现年95岁的吴明珠是促成这一成就的无名英雄。“ 2 has helped make this possible”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the unsung hero,指人,关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词who或that引导该从句。故填who/that。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:可以说,大约80%的西瓜是吴明珠和她的团队60多年来努力的成果,这显然是农业研究领域的非凡成就。“It is +adj.+ to do sth.”是固定句型,意为“做某事是……的”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语,故say用不定式形式。故填to say。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:可以说,大约80%的西瓜是吴明珠和她的团队60多年来努力的成果,这显然是农业研究领域的非凡成就。“(make) by Wu and her team...”作后置定语修饰名词efforts,make(做出)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语efforts之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填made。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:从那时起,受导师的启发,她全身心地投入到种植甜瓜的事业中。分析句子可知,“(inspire) by her tutor”作原因状语,inspire(启发,激励)用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语she之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填inspired。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:从那时起,受导师的启发,她全身心地投入到种植甜瓜的事业中。提示词修饰动词put,用副词entirely作状语,意为“完全地”。故填entirely。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:多年来,吴明珠频繁往返于新疆和海南之间,通过反季节种植培育出2万多种中国的新种子品种。between...and...是固定搭配,意为“在……和……之间”。故填and。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:1999年,她成为中国工程院院士。member(会员,成员)是可数名词单数形式,泛指,且发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:更重要的是,农民们称她为“瓜后”。可数名词farmer(农民)作主语,根据句意,是很多农民称她为“瓜后”,用复数形式。故填farmers。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,吴明珠患有阿尔茨海默病,常常无法认出以前的同事,甚至家人。分析句子可知,“(suffer) from Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病)”作伴随状语,suffer(患……病,受……之苦)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语Wu之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填suffering。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:现在,吴明珠患有阿尔茨海默病,常常无法认出以前的同事,甚至家人。根据上文“Now ______ (suffer) from Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病)”可知,她患有阿尔茨海默病,由此推知,她不能认出以前的同事和家人,unable意为“不能的”,符合句意,在句中作表语。故填unable。

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。
We moved to a small seaside community in New Zealand 10 years ago, because my husband Phil worked as a biologist and he had to do research near the sea. I had seen seals (海豚) around Pilot Bay, which is near here. Sometimes you see them out on the rocks, sunning themselves or playing-but usually in their own territory. They never thought about disturbing their neighbors.
It was a dark winter morning in August this year when a seal came. At 5:50 a.m., I left the house to go fitness training. I went down to the car parked in the driveway and heard a growl (咆哮). I thought our cat, Coco, must have chased a dog under the car. I jumped into the car to avoid getting my ankles bitten, and moved slowly, but then I felt the car hit something. When I got out to have a look, I couldn’t see anything and thought it must have moved on. Then when I got back into my seat, I saw a baby seal in the headlights.
I thought, Oh, my God, “but didn’t panic—the ocean is just down the driveway and I thought it would find its way back. Off I went to the training center and gave everyone there a laugh when I said, “Sorry I’m late; there was a seal under the car.” I didn’t think about it again until I got home. As I walked through the garage (车库), I noticed our baskets had been moved. I wondered if it was the seal, but then I guessed it could not be the seal because I didn’t think it could fit through the cat door, which was the only way into the garage. But I was wrong. As I opened the door to the house, I brushed something and heard this flip-flip-flip-flip sound, and thought, “My God, that is the seal.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
It was so cute like a lovely soft toy. It had watery eyes and looked at me like a chi id, which made me desperate ty want to keep it secretly. But I knew it was a wild animal and it should be back to its home, because wild animals belong to the wild. With a deep sigh, I phone d Phil, who was on his way home from a work trip. He told me that wild animals smelled bad and I probably never knew how sharp their teeth were. On Phil’s arriving home, we immediately looked for the contact information.
We called Animal Protection Station, and a worker came over. It was sad to see the little lovely wild creature wrapped up in a net to be taken away, but a great relief lifted from my inner heart when the worker said it would be released into the sea after being checked. Experiencing this fortuitous encounter with the seal reminded me that we should help raise awareness of protecting seals. So, I together with Phil, posted the photos on the social media and it snowballed. For us, it was pretty good to see so many people care for our lovely wild neighbors: seals.
