English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes.Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries.But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford,Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189.Skirting the town square,you'll find lovely shops,eateries,and the Black and White House Museum.The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town.It's also home to an ancient library.One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow,Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England.Butcher shops,greengrocers,bakeries,and cheese shops line the town square.Bordering the square,the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold.The threeday Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury,Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety.The River Severn has a significant turn through town,almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center.The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway.Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets,window boxes,and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey,Cornwall
Even if you haven't been to the small fishing village Mevagissey,you've probably seen it in a movie or British TV show.The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774.Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harborside markets.Don't leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie.It's delicious.

Over the last decade, Grandpa Ron, as the students call him, has volunteered for thousands of hours every year to be with local school children—but it wasn't until classes moved online due to COVID 19 that Ron Jacobson realized his impact.That impact reached far deeper than being a school volunteer.And those students were now missing the hugs he gave them every mornings.
Back in March 2020, Jacobson had already volunteered for 900 hours during the 2019—2020 school year by the time the Cle ElumRoslyn Elementary School in Ronald, Washington, closed its doors and turned to online teaching.
“These kids who had relied on me being there for them suddenly lost me,” Jacobson said.“When they started doing their schoolwork online, several said that they missed Grandpa Ron.”
The school received so many requests for Grandpa Ron that it added Jacobson's email address and home address to the school's online directory(电话号码簿), allowing students to keep in touch with Jacobson.Students immediately began sending Jacobson emails and letters and even coming to his home to check up on him and offer to walk his dog.
Jacobson now responds to each of the students, adding a bright spot to the students' days and his own.
“I am happy to listen to the kids' problems as well,” Jacobson said.“I have heard from school teachers and parents how much this regular communication has changed the kids' attitudes.”
The Veterans of Foreign Wars has honored Jacobson—a Vietnam veteran (老兵)—by naming him a spokesman for their campaign, StillServing, which shows many ways America's veterans continue serving the society even after leaving the army.
“The Marine Corps taught me the two important things: finish the task and take care of your troops (军队).I'm still taking care of the troops,” Jacobson said.
It's just that they are 75 years younger than he is.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了一名老兵Jacobson在离开军队后,在学校做志愿者,以这种方式继续为社会服务,体现了他的社会责任感。
4.How did the school react to the school kids' requests?
A.It sent Jacobson to visit them in person.
B.It asked Jacobson to write to all of them.
C.It showed every student's email address.
D.It offered Jacobson's contact information.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The school received so many requests...keep in touch with Jacobson.”可知,学校收到了很多关于Grandpa Ron的要求,于是将Jacobson的电子邮件地址和家庭地址添加到学校的在线通讯录中,让学生们能够与Jacobson保持联系。由此可知,面对学生的要求,学校提供了Jacobson的联系方式。故选D。A项“学校派Jacobson亲自去拜访他们”;B项“学校要求Jacobson给他们所有的人写信”;C项“学校出示了每个学生的电子邮件地址”。均不符合题意。
5.How did Jacobson feel about the online communication with the students?
A.Pleased. B.Worried.
C.Tired. D.Confused.
解析 A 推理判断题。根据第五段“Jacobson now responds to each of the students, adding a bright spot to the students' days and his own.”和第六段第一句“‘I am happy to listen to the kids' problems as well,’ Jacobson said.”可知,在线上与孩子们交流时,Jacobson很高兴听到孩子们的问题,他认为对学生的问题做出回应,给自己的生活增添了亮点。由此可知,与学生的在线交流使Jacobson感到高兴。故选A。
6.Why was veteran Jacobson regarded as a spokesman for StillServing?
A.He still served the army.
B.He trained many volunteers.
C.He continued to serve others.
D.He encouraged kids to serve people.
解析 C 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段可知,StillServing运动显示了美国老兵即使离开军队也能用许多方式继续服务社会,海外退伍军人协会认为Jacobson是他们运动的代言人,是因为作为一名美国老兵,他在离开军队后,仍然在学校做志愿者,以另一种方式为社会服务。故选C。A项“他仍然为军队服务”;B项“他培训了许多志愿者”;D项“他鼓励孩子们为人民服务”。这三项均不符合题意。
7.What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.School teachers. B.Vietnam veterans.
C.Local school kids. D.Young volunteers.
解析 C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Over the last decade, Grandpa Ron, as the students call him, has volunteered for thousands of hours every year to be with local school children”可知,在过去的十年里,Jacobson一直在学校做志愿者,再结合画线单词所在句中的75 years younger than he is(比他年轻75岁)可知,“they”指代的应该是上文提到的“local school children”。故选C。

An Unsung Hero
Need a break between classes or just a quick pickmeup in the morning? The College Cafe has just that,and more. 1
Catherine Murphy,a cafe worker in a green shirt and black hat,makes sure that each customer gets exactly what they order.She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. 2 As the customer grabs the drink from her hand,she smiles and says,“Hello,how is your day?” Even when the line is getting longer,she doesn't let it get in the way of her genuine conversations.
Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. 3 “I do so because I like to make coffee for the students.I know they need it in the morning,” Murphy said.Being a mother and wife has helped her become the woman she is.She believes she is here to serve.
One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious(有感染力) and can be the difference in a student having a much better day than they were having before seeing her.Joanna Wright,a senior political science major,loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week. 4 “Catherine always has a huge smile on her face,which always puts me in a cheerful mood,” Wright said.
“I enjoy working in the cafe,” Murphy said. 5 She has every intention of staying and continuing doing what she loves.
A.The cafe closes at 9 p.m. every day.
B.She has two children aged eight and four.
C.Sometimes she arrives early to serve the students early.
D.After finishing an order,she calls out the name on the cup.
E.Not only does this cafe serve up drinks,it also serves up smiles.
F.Going to the cafe starts her day off good and gets her ready for class.
G.She has served here for 17 years and can't imagine working anywhere else.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。College Cafe的员工Catherine Murphy每天忙碌工作,用心为顾客制作饮品、热情交流,她的笑容感染了学生。她以服务他人为宗旨,在岗位上工作17年,用积极的态度点亮他人的一天。
1.解析 E 空前提到“Need a break between classes or just a quick pickmeup in the morning? The College Cafe has just that,and more.”,由此可知,College Cafe能在课间提供休息和提神饮品,以及其他东西。E项“这家咖啡馆不仅提供饮品而且提供笑容”通过“not only...(but)also...”结构,呼应上文提到的提供休息和提神饮品以及“and more”。
2.解析 D 空前提到Catherine Murphy在机器间来回走动,制作饮品,空后提到顾客从她手中拿饮品时,她会微笑问候。D项“完成订单后,她喊出杯上的名字”衔接了制作饮品与交付饮品的动作,符合工作流程的逻辑,且“calls out the name”与空后顾客接饮品的场景连贯。
3.解析 C 空前提到Murphy每天4:45起床,开车30分钟准时上班,空后提到Murphy喜欢为学生制作咖啡,她知道学生们早上需要咖啡。C项“有时她提前到岗以提前服务学生”,进一步说明她对工作的投入,与上文呼应,且与下文形成因果关系。
4.解析 F 空前提到学生Wright每周至少去咖啡馆6天,空后提到Wright说Catherine的笑容让她心情愉快。F项“去咖啡馆让她以良好的方式开启一天,为上课做准备”解释了Wright高频去咖啡馆的原因,空后提到Catherine的笑容对Wright的影响,进一步解释了F项的“starts her day off good”。
5.解析 G 空前提到Murphy喜欢在咖啡馆工作,空后提到她打算继续做热爱的事,即继续在咖啡馆工作。G项“已在此服务17年,她无法想象去其他地方工作”描述了她的工作年限与情感归属,与“喜欢工作”和“留下”衔接紧密。
