Best Walking Tours in London
London is one of the most walkable capital cities in the world. People may think you’ re mad if you do lace up your sneakers — here are London’s best walking tours for your next visit. drive a car around town. Besides, nothing quite lets you get to know a city like a good walk around. So, lace up your sneakers — here are London’s best walking tours for your next visit.
Tour for Muggles
This is a can’t-miss trip in England. The tour starts near London Bridge subway station and moves on to locations used in the Harry Potter films (and several book locations). There’s one subway ride (LondonBridge to Westminster) but otherwise it’s all on foot. Groups are capped to 20 and accept tourists of all ages.
Jermyn Street Fashion Walk
A seriously professional private tour to match your preferences. Groups are recommended no larger than eight, and it’s all done on foot. Most of the guides, who lead the Jermyn Street walk, have a background of art, history or fashion, and one even trained as a tailor.
Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour
Think of this as a walk with friends rather than a tour (groups are capped at 12). You meet at a best selfie spot — at Rotherhithe, overlooking the Thames — then catch the overground train to the pubs. By reservation only. Five of London’s most historic pubs in four hours is not an easy but worthwhile task.
East End Walks
East End Walks is a collection of 15 tours run by one man, David Rosenberg. The tours cover the social history of the traditionally working class area. Groups are capped at 30. You meet near the subway station. Rosenberg, whose grandparents moved to the East End as children, loves the area and its social history a lot — it holds the story of the working class, which is rarely told.
1. Which tour best suits people who are interested in the history of the working class?
A. Tour for Muggles B. Jermyn Street Fashion Walk
C. East End Walks D. Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour
2. What do the four walking tours have in common?
A. They limit the number of a group. B. They have professional guides.
C. They are private tours to your preference. D. They recommend reservation in advance.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A travel brochure.
C. A geographic magazine. D. A history textbook.

It’s important for children to take part in social activities during their summer holidays. “Kids should have a break during the summer. They’ve worked hard during the school year and this is their time to relax, but they should continue communicating with their friends and meeting new people,” said Dr. Jin Han. He’s a professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
Spending time with friends and meeting new people by doing fun and educational activities such as music, arts and sports programs in summer help with their development. “If children spend a lot of time alone on their electronic equipment (电子设备), then they will fail to communicate with others,” Han said. “In today’s world, it’s very easy for kids to stay indoors all day and keep in touch with others, but that is not a good way to connect with others. Face-to-face communication is necessary and important. Parents should set limits (限制) on how long their children use electronic equipment.”
It’s also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers. “It’s not so much the length of time, but the quality of time, that families spend together that is really valuable,” Han said. “This type of communication is not something that you can get from anywhere else. It doesn’t matter how old the child is, family bonding (家庭关系) experiences can happen at any time.”
Having children spend time with friends and families doesn’t have to spend money in the wallet, either. For example, going to the neighborhood swimming pool or having a picnic is a great way to spend quality time together.
4. What does Dr. Jin Han think about the summer holidays according to the first paragraph?
A. It is necessary for children to have a rest during summer holidays.
B. Children should relax as much as possible during summer holidays.
C. Children should prepare for schoolwork in summer holidays.
D. Making new friends in summer holidays will make children tired.
5. What will children do when spending summer holidays alone?
A Play computer games. B. See educational films.
C. Lose touch with others. D. Improve their study.
6. What can we infer from the text?
A. Children should not be allowed to use electronic equipment.
B. The longer children spend with families, the better is for them.
C. It costs much money to make children stay with friends and families.
D. How to enjoy the time with families is of great importance.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The importance of friends and families.
B. The introduction of some social activities.
C. The suitable way to spend summer holidays.
D. The necessity of face-to-face communication.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“If children spend a lot of time alone on their electronic equipment (电子设备), then they will fail to communicate with others (如果孩子们独自花很多时间在电子设备上,那么他们将无法与他人交流)”可推知,孩子们独自过暑假时可能会玩电脑游戏。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s not so much the length of time, but the quality of time, that families spend together that is really valuable (真正有价值的不是家庭在一起的时间长短,而是家庭在一起的时间质量)”可推知,如何享受与家人在一起的时间非常重要。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s important for children to take part in social activities during their summer holidays. (孩子们在暑假期间参加社交活动是很重要的。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讨论了孩子们在暑假期间参与社交活动的重要性,包括与朋友和家人的相处方式,以及如何通过有趣且具有教育意义的活动来促进孩子的成长和发展。所以C项“The suitable way to spend summer holidays (过暑假的合适方式)”是文章主旨。故选C项。

Children are more creative when they learn in natural surroundings, according to new research from Curtin University. Primary school students in Australia and England were put to the test to see whether writing poetry in a natural outdoor setting produced more creative outcomes than writing in a classroom, and the answer was yes.
Dr Paul Gardner and Sonja Kuzich from Curtin’s School of Education ran comparative trials with 10-year-old students in both countries and the results, recently published in the Cambridge Journal of Education, gave a big thumbs-up to the positive influence of natural settings. “We found that students who had direct contact with nature by engaging themselves in a bush or forest setting were much more descriptive and vivid in the language they used than the classroom-based writers who ‘imagined’ being in nature through photos,” Dr Gardner said.
In total, 97 students took part in the study, split across four classrooms, including two based at an English primary school and two from a primary school in Western Australia. In each country one class visited a natural bush or forest before writing a poem based on what they saw, smelt and felt. The other class viewed a pile of images of the same bush or forest setting.
Ms Kuzich said the difference in creative language used between the classes was obvious with twice as many UK forest students using figurative (比喻的) language compared with the students in class. In Australia that figure rose to more than four times when comparing the poetry of the bush-based students with those who remained at school.
The researchers say further studies of larger groups are now recommended to gain greater understanding of the influence of natural spaces and “green learning” in schools. Future research may also be needed to examine if the green learning can be translated into other learning themes or context to see if there is a flow on effect in different environments.
8. Why were the students placed outdoors in nature?
A. To get more outdoor exercise.
B. To experience nature in depth.
C. To understand poems about nature better.
D. To prove nature’s effect on creativity.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The steps of training the children.
B. The purpose of performing the test.
C. New findings about students’ writing.
D. The detailed steps of the experiment.
10. What can we infer about the result of the study?
A. Students indoors are not good at poetry.
B. Students in Australia prefer to study poetry.
C. Students are more creative in a natural environment.
D. Students in UK have different writing skill preferences.
11. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Green learning is becoming a trend.
B. Further studies are to be carried out.
C. Green learning has been applied in school.
D. Future research is of little significance.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据一项新研究,孩子们在自然环境中学习时更有创造力。文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Primary school students in Australia and England were put to the test to see whether writing poetry in a natural outdoor setting produced more creative outcomes than writing in a classroom, and the answer was yes.(澳大利亚和英国的小学生接受了一项测试,看看在自然的户外环境中写诗是否比在教室里写诗更有创造力,答案是肯定的)”以及第二段中““We found that students who had direct contact with nature by engaging themselves in a bush or forest setting were much more descriptive and vivid in the language they used than the classroom-based writers who ‘imagined’ being in nature through photos,” Dr Gardner said.(Gardner博士说:“我们发现,那些将自己沉浸在灌木丛或森林环境中直接接触大自然的学生,比那些在课堂上通过照片‘想象’自己身处大自然的作家,在语言上更具描述性和生动性。”)”可知,学生们被安排在户外的自然环境中是为了证明自然对创造力的影响。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In total, 97 students took part in the study, split across four classrooms, including two based at an English primary school and two from a primary school in Western Australia. In each country one class visited a natural bush or forest before writing a poem based on what they saw, smelt and felt. The other class viewed a pile of images of the same bush or forest setting.(共有97名学生参加了这项研究,他们被分为四个教室,其中两个来自英国的小学,另外两个来自西澳大利亚的小学。在每个国家,一个班级参观了一处天然灌木或森林,然后根据他们所看到的、闻到的和感觉到的写一首诗。另一个班看的是一堆相同灌木或森林背景的图像)”可知,第三段主要讲了实验的具体步骤。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“M Ms Kuzich said the difference in creative language used between the classes was obvious with twice as many UK forest students using figurative (比喻) language compared with the students in class. In Australia that figure rose to more than four times when comparing the poetry of the bush-based students with those who remained at school.(Kuzich女士说,不同班级在使用创造性语言方面的差异很明显,英国森林学生使用比喻性语言的人数是普通班级学生的两倍。在澳大利亚,当把住在丛林里的学生的诗歌与留在学校的学生的诗歌进行比较时,这个数字上升到四倍多)”可推知,学生在自然环境中更有创造力。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers say further studies of larger groups are now recommended to gain greater understanding of the influence of natural spaces and “green learning” in schools. Future research may also be needed to examine if the green learning can be translated into other learning themes or context to see if there is a flow on effect in different environments.(研究人员说,现在建议对更大的群体进行进一步的研究,以更好地了解自然空间和学校“绿色学习”的影响。未来的研究可能还需要检查绿色学习是否可以转化为其他学习主题或背景,看看在不同的环境中是否存在流动效应)”可推知,最后一段暗示了将进行进一步的研究。故选B。
D
In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen. For those suffering from the inability to switch off and reconnect with themselves, Deborah Alma, a poet, may have just what the doctor ordered. She founded the Poetry Pharmacy, which aims to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for personalized advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves.
Deborah has long used poetry as a tool for good. After graduating with a degree in creative writing, she worked with dementia (失智) patients in a nursing home, reading and composing poems for them. One day, while doing her routine work, she spotted an old ambulance, which kickstarted an idea — she could bring poetry to more people in need. Thus, the Emergency Poet was born, witnessing Deborah travelling the country to offer guidance.
In 2019, Deborah transitioned from her mobile practice to a fixed location in Shropshire. Despite the initial feedback that her idea was unrealistic — investors doubted the business model, potential customers were hesitant to embrace the unconventional concept of poetry as therapy (疗法), and even local authorities were unsure how to categorize and regulate such a unique establishment, Deborah stood her ground. She kept offering one-on-one poetry consultations herself, thoughtfully picking out and recommending poems that matched each visitor’s specific emotional state. She also put effort into making the shop feel homely and welcoming, and carefully selected poetry books on display. The Pharmacy has gone from strength to strength, being awarded Regional Independent Bookshop of the Year in 2024, managing to convince people of its value.
Deborah is certain that the practice of the Poetry Pharmacy will grow more popular with time. She may be right: In early 2025, the American Medical Association agreed to include poems and related interpretations in their publication, based on studies showing that poetry can comfort patients and healthcare providers. Deborah said, “The next chapter is bound to be a good one!”
12. What does the underlined phrase “what the doctor ordered” refer to?
A. Pills for physical health. B. An alternative mental health care.
C. Regulations on screen exposure. D. A detection of Internet addiction.
13. What inspired Deborah to be an “Emergency Poet”?
A. Her resolution to cure dementia patients.
B. Her wish to expand medical application.
C. Her eagerness to repurpose an ambulance.
D. Her desire to let poetry reach out to more patients.
14. Why did people doubt when the bookstore opened up?
A. Its business model seemed out-dated.
B. Its potential benefits were overstated.
C. Its value wasn’t fully recognized by the public.
D. Its security was questioned by local government.
15. Why does the author mention the American Medical Association?
A. To prove Deborah’s point. B. To emphasize its importance.
C. To advocate poetry writing. D. To commercialize the bookstore.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了诗人Deborah Alma创办的诗歌药房,它通过诗歌为人们提供心理健康支持,以及这一创意从诞生到逐渐被认可的过程。
12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen. For those suffering from the inability to switch off and reconnect with themselves, Deborah Alma, a poet, may have just what the doctor ordered. (在这个快节奏的世界里,安静的时刻往往是在盯着手机屏幕中度过的。对于那些无法关机、无法与自己重新建立联系的人来说,诗人Deborah Alma或许正好提供了what the doctor ordered。)”可知,Deborah Alma为那些无法关机、无法与自己重新建立联系的人提供帮助,即医生所建议的东西,再结合下文她创办的诗歌药房,通过诗歌为人们提供心理健康支持可知,划线部分指的是一种替代性的心理健康护理。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One day, while doing her routine work, she spotted an old ambulance, which kickstarted an idea — she could bring poetry to more people in need. Thus, the Emergency Poet was born, witnessing Deborah travelling the country to offer guidance. (有一天,在做她的日常工作时,她发现了一辆旧救护车,这激发了一个想法 —— 她可以把诗歌带给更多需要的人。于是,“急诊诗人”诞生了,Deborah开始在全国各地旅行,提供指导。)”可知,Deborah看到一辆旧救护车,激发了她想把诗歌带给更多需要的人的想法,所以她成为了“急诊诗人”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite the initial feedback that her idea was unrealistic — investors doubted the business model, potential customers were hesitant to embrace the unconventional concept of poetry as therapy (疗法), and even local authorities were unsure how to categorize and regulate such a unique establishment, Deborah stood her ground. (尽管最初人们反馈她的想法不切实际 —— 投资者怀疑商业模式,潜在客户对诗歌作为疗法的非常规概念持犹豫态度,甚至当地政府也不确定如何对这样一个独特的机构进行分类和管理,但黛博拉坚持了自己的立场。)”可知,人们怀疑是因为它的价值没有得到公众的充分认可。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Deborah is certain that the practice of the Poetry Pharmacy will grow more popular with time. She may be right: In early 2025, the American Medical Association agreed to include poems and related interpretations in their publication, based on studies showing that poetry can comfort patients and healthcare providers. (Deborah确信,随着时间的推移,诗歌药房的做法会越来越受欢迎。她可能是对的:基于研究表明诗歌可以安慰病人和医护人员,2025年初,美国医学协会同意在他们的出版物中收录诗歌和相关解读。)”可知,作者提到美国医学协会是为了证明Deborah的观点,即诗歌可以作为疗法来安慰病人和医护人员,随着时间的推移,诗歌药房的做法会越来越受欢迎。故选A项。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这之所以成为可能有很多原因,但其中一个主要因素是中国的文字系统。空处引导定语从句,先行词是reasons,关系词在从句中作原因状语,所以用关系副词why引导。故填why。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:几千年前,古代中国人在动物骨头和贝壳上雕刻符号,其中一些在今天汉字中仍然可以看到。设空处为谓语,根据时间状语“Several thousand years ago”可知,句子用一般过去时。故填carved。

考查动词时态和语态。句意:现代人可以阅读古代中国人写的作品。根据时间状语“in ancient times”可知,句子用一般过去时,which引导定语从句,指代先行词works,和write之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语表示复数意义,be动词用were。故填were written。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:对汉字书写系统的高度重视可以从汉字作为一种艺术形式的发展中看出,这种艺术形式被称为中国书法,据信可以追溯到汉代(公元前202年-公元220年)。the high regard for...意为“对……的高度重视”,是固定搭配。故填for。

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。
Lewis wiped sweat from his eyes, and his old trainers hit the road as he ran. Six years ago, even running a kilometre, he struggled to catch his breath. It started as a joke. During an outdoor reunion, after he fell, his colleagues asked him to run a kilometre. “You can’t finish a race!” they laughed. That night, Lewis made a silent promise that he would start running.
The first weeks were really hard. Each morning at 6:30 am, his alarm would wake him up. He forced himself out of bed. He breathed heavily after just five minutes. But Lewis stuck to his running routine, meeting his daily goals without fail. Day after day, his determination built an unshakable habit of pushing through.
But progress slowed when winter arrived. Icy winds cut through his coat, and dark mornings tested his will. One day in December, after slipping on the ice, Lewis sat on the side of the road crying. His hands were raw and his nose was bleeding. For two weeks, Lewis pushed himself to run every day, but a voice in his head kept whispering doubts. It told him that he wasn’t meant for running, saying, “You’re not built for this.”
The turning point came on New Year’s Day. Lewis found an old photo of himself as a boy, smiling beside a bike he had learnt to ride after falling off it 19 times. That afternoon, he put on his trainers again. This time, he ran more slowly, focusing on breathing evenly instead of running fast. As time passed, his running skills got better and better and he was even able to run 20 kilometres, which was about a half marathon distance.
Three years later, a half marathon would be held in Lewis’ city. That was good news for Lewis, as it would be a stage to show the results of his training. But it was also a great challenge, because he had not participated in an official marathon race before. Lewis felt a little hesitant, but became ambitious at the thought that he could overcome the difficulties he had experienced during his training. So he made the registration.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of the race, it was cloudy.

The final kilometre felt endless.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
On the day of the race, it was cloudy. At the start of the half marathon, Lewis felt nervous. The first 10 kilometres went well, and his training paid off. But then it started raining at the 15-kilometre mark. His shoes were soaked and rubbed his skin raw. He remembered how he had had to keep going even though it was raining in his training. Thinking that he had already run more than half of the distance, he said to himself, “You can finish this race.” Then he requested medical assistance. After receiving simple treatment for his pain, he continued the race.
The final kilometre felt endless. Lewis’ legs moved slowly, and his wet shirt was rubbing against his skin. His mind went back to the icy December morning when his nose was bleeding and he insisted on running. “One more step,” he said to himself and made his way to the finish line. He ran the last 200 metres, the crowd cheering noisily in the background. When he finished, he lay on the wet asphalt road and laughed. No medal mattered more to him than this: He had outlasted every version of himself that had ever doubted him.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Lewis从一个跑步困难者成长为半马选手的励志故事。六年前在同学聚会上被嘲笑跑不完一公里的他,暗下决心开始晨跑训练。初期的气喘吁吁、冬季的冰雪摔伤都曾让他自我怀疑,直到新年看到童年学自行车摔倒19次仍坚持的照片重燃斗志。他调整训练方式,从追求速度到注重呼吸节奏,最终能跑完20公里。当得知所在城市将举办半程马拉松时,尽管从未参加过正式比赛,Lewis仍勇敢报名,决心用这场比赛证明自己多年训练的成果。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“比赛那天,天气多云。”可知,第一段可描写Lewis比赛中遇到困难,但是他坚持了下来。
②由第二段首句内容“最后一公里感觉没完没了。”可知,第二段可描写Lewis克服疲惫,坚持跑完了全程。
2. 续写线索:刚开始顺利——下雨——磨破脚——自我鼓励——治疗——继续比赛——坚持跑完全程——感悟。
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①完成:finish/complete
②收到:receive/accept
③向终点线前进:make his way to the finish line/head towards the finish line
情绪类
①紧张的:nervous/anxious
②大声欢呼:cheer noisily/jubilate loudly
【点睛】[高分句型1]He remembered how he had had to keep going even though it was raining in his training.(how引导的宾语从句和even though引导的让步状语从句)
[高分句型2]His mind went back to the icy December morning when his nose was bleeding and he insisted on running.(when引导的定语从句)

Best Walking Tours in London
London is one of the most walkable capital cities in the world. People may think you’ re mad if you do lace up your sneakers — here are London’s best walking tours for your next visit. drive a car around town. Besides, nothing quite lets you get to know a city like a good walk around. So, lace up your sneakers — here are London’s best walking tours for your next visit.
Tour for Muggles
This is a can’t-miss trip in England. The tour starts near London Bridge subway station and moves on to locations used in the Harry Potter films (and several book locations). There’s one subway ride (LondonBridge to Westminster) but otherwise it’s all on foot. Groups are capped to 20 and accept tourists of all ages.
Jermyn Street Fashion Walk
A seriously professional private tour to match your preferences. Groups are recommended no larger than eight, and it’s all done on foot. Most of the guides, who lead the Jermyn Street walk, have a background of art, history or fashion, and one even trained as a tailor.
Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour
Think of this as a walk with friends rather than a tour (groups are capped at 12). You meet at a best selfie spot — at Rotherhithe, overlooking the Thames — then catch the overground train to the pubs. By reservation only. Five of London’s most historic pubs in four hours is not an easy but worthwhile task.
East End Walks
East End Walks is a collection of 15 tours run by one man, David Rosenberg. The tours cover the social history of the traditionally working class area. Groups are capped at 30. You meet near the subway station. Rosenberg, whose grandparents moved to the East End as children, loves the area and its social history a lot — it holds the story of the working class, which is rarely told.
1. Which tour best suits people who are interested in the history of the working class?
A. Tour for Muggles B. Jermyn Street Fashion Walk
C. East End Walks D. Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour
2. What do the four walking tours have in common?
A. They limit the number of a group. B. They have professional guides.
C. They are private tours to your preference. D. They recommend reservation in advance.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A travel brochure.
C. A geographic magazine. D. A history textbook.
B
It’s important for children to take part in social activities during their summer holidays. “Kids should have a break during the summer. They’ve worked hard during the school year and this is their time to relax, but they should continue communicating with their friends and meeting new people,” said Dr. Jin Han. He’s a professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
Spending time with friends and meeting new people by doing fun and educational activities such as music, arts and sports programs in summer help with their development. “If children spend a lot of time alone on their electronic equipment (电子设备), then they will fail to communicate with others,” Han said. “In today’s world, it’s very easy for kids to stay indoors all day and keep in touch with others, but that is not a good way to connect with others. Face-to-face communication is necessary and important. Parents should set limits (限制) on how long their children use electronic equipment.”
It’s also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers. “It’s not so much the length of time, but the quality of time, that families spend together that is really valuable,” Han said. “This type of communication is not something that you can get from anywhere else. It doesn’t matter how old the child is, family bonding (家庭关系) experiences can happen at any time.”
Having children spend time with friends and families doesn’t have to spend money in the wallet, either. For example, going to the neighborhood swimming pool or having a picnic is a great way to spend quality time together.
4. What does Dr. Jin Han think about the summer holidays according to the first paragraph?
A. It is necessary for children to have a rest during summer holidays.
B. Children should relax as much as possible during summer holidays.
C. Children should prepare for schoolwork in summer holidays.
D. Making new friends in summer holidays will make children tired.
5. What will children do when spending summer holidays alone?
A. Play computer games. B. See educational films.
C. Lose touch with others. D. Improve their study.
6. What can we infer from the text?
A. Children should not be allowed to use electronic equipment.
B. The longer children spend with families the better is for them.
C. It costs much money to make children stay with friends and families.
D. How to enjoy the time with families is of great importance.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The importance of friends and families.
B. The introduction of some social activities.
C. The suitable way to spend summer holidays.
D. The necessity of face-to-face communication.
C
Children are more creative when they learn in natural surroundings, according to new research from Curtin University. Primary school students in Australia and England were put to the test to see whether writing poetry in a natural outdoor setting produced more creative outcomes than writing in a classroom, and the answer was yes.
Dr Paul Gardner and Sonja Kuzich from Curtin’s School of Education ran comparative trials with 10-year-old students in both countries and the results, recently published in the Cambridge Journal of Education, gave a big thumbs-up to the positive influence of natural settings. “We found that students who had direct contact with nature by engaging themselves in a bush or forest setting were much more descriptive and vivid in the language they used than the classroom-based writers who ‘imagined’ being in nature through photos,” Dr Gardner said.
In total, 97 students took part in the study, split across four classrooms, including two based at an English primary school and two from a primary school in Western Australia. In each country one class visited a natural bush or forest before writing a poem based on what they saw, smelt and felt. The other class viewed a pile of images of the same bush or forest setting.
Ms Kuzich said the difference in creative language used between the classes was obvious with twice as many UK forest students using figurative (比喻的) language compared with the students in class. In Australia that figure rose to more than four times when comparing the poetry of the bush-based students with those who remained at school.
The researchers say further studies of larger groups are now recommended to gain greater understanding of the influence of natural spaces and “green learning” in schools. Future research may also be needed to examine if the green learning can be translated into other learning themes or context to see if there is a flow on effect in different environments.
8. Why were the students placed outdoors in nature?
A. To get more outdoor exercise.
B. To experience nature in depth.
C. To understand poems about nature better.
D. To prove nature’s effect on creativity.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The steps of training the children.
B. The purpose of performing the test.
C. New findings about students’ writing.
D. The detailed steps of the experiment.
10. What can we infer about the result of the study?
A. Students indoors are not good at poetry.
B. Students in Australia prefer to study poetry.
C. Students are more creative in a natural environment.
D. Students in UK have different writing skill preferences.
11. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Green learning is becoming a trend.
B. Further studies are to be carried out.
C. Green learning has been applied in school.
D. Future research is of little significance.

In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen. For those suffering from the inability to switch off and reconnect with themselves, Deborah Alma, a poet, may have just what the doctor ordered. She founded the Poetry Pharmacy, which aims to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for personalized advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves.
Deborah has long used poetry as a tool for good. After graduating with a degree in creative writing, she worked with dementia (失智) patients in a nursing home, reading and composing poems for them. One day, while doing her routine work, she spotted an old ambulance, which kickstarted an idea — she could bring poetry to more people in need. Thus, the Emergency Poet was born, witnessing Deborah travelling the country to offer guidance.
In 2019, Deborah transitioned from her mobile practice to a fixed location in Shropshire. Despite the initial feedback that her idea was unrealistic — investors doubted the business model, potential customers were hesitant to embrace the unconventional concept of poetry as therapy (疗法), and even local authorities were unsure how to categorize and regulate such a unique establishment, Deborah stood her ground. She kept offering one-on-one poetry consultations herself, thoughtfully picking out and recommending poems that matched each visitor’s specific emotional state. She also put effort into making the shop feel homely and welcoming, and carefully selected poetry books on display. The Pharmacy has gone from strength to strength, being awarded Regional Independent Bookshop of the Year in 2024, managing to convince people of its value.
Deborah is certain that the practice of the Poetry Pharmacy will grow more popular with time. She may be right: In early 2025, the American Medical Association agreed to include poems and related interpretations in their publication, based on studies showing that poetry can comfort patients and healthcare providers. Deborah said, “The next chapter is bound to be a good one!”
12. What does the underlined phrase “what the doctor ordered” refer to?
A. Pills for physical health. B. An alternative mental health care.
C. Regulations on screen exposure. D. A detection of Internet addiction.
13. What inspired Deborah to be an “Emergency Poet”?
A. Her resolution to cure dementia patients.
B. Her wish to expand medical application.
C. Her eagerness to repurpose an ambulance.
D. Her desire to let poetry reach out to more patients.
14. Why did people doubt when the bookstore opened up?
A. Its business model seemed out-dated.
B. Its potential benefits were overstated.
C. Its value wasn’t fully recognized by the public.
D. Its security was questioned by local government.
15. Why does the author mention the American Medical Association?
A. To prove Deborah’s point. B. To emphasize its importance.

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。
Lewis wiped sweat from his eyes, and his old trainers hit the road as he ran. Six years ago, even running a kilometre, he struggled to catch his breath. It started as a joke. During an outdoor reunion, after he fell, his colleagues asked him to run a kilometre. “You can’t finish a race!” they laughed. That night, Lewis made a silent promise that he would start running.
The first weeks were really hard. Each morning at 6:30 am, his alarm would wake him up. He forced himself out of bed. He breathed heavily after just five minutes. But Lewis stuck to his running routine, meeting his daily goals without fail. Day after day, his determination built an unshakable habit of pushing through.
But progress slowed when winter arrived. Icy winds cut through his coat, and dark mornings tested his will. One day in December, after slipping on the ice, Lewis sat on the side of the road crying. His hands were raw and his nose was bleeding. For two weeks, Lewis pushed himself to run every day, but a voice in his head kept whispering doubts. It told him that he wasn’t meant for running, saying, “You’re not built for this.”
The turning point came on New Year’s Day. Lewis found an old photo of himself as a boy, smiling beside a bike he had learnt to ride after falling off it 19 times. That afternoon, he put on his trainers again. This time, he ran more slowly, focusing on breathing evenly instead of running fast. As time passed, his running skills got better and better and he was even able to run 20 kilometres, which was about a half marathon distance.
Three years later, a half marathon would be held in Lewis’ city. That was good news for Lewis, as it would be a stage to show the results of his training. But it was also a great challenge, because he had not participated in an official marathon race before. Lewis felt a little hesitant, but became ambitious at the thought that he could overcome the difficulties he had experienced during his training. So he made the registration.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of the race, it was cloudy.

The final kilometre felt endless.
