Here are 4 places on Long Island that are popular with everyone: PORTSIDE BAR & GRILL On Monday nights at Portside Bar & Grill join the “Portside Pirates Patio (露台) Party” where multiple artists perform 30-40 minutes each from 7-10 p.m. “Playing outdoors you get more energy from the audience,” singer Maria Rose says. “They are fully engaged in the music.” SPOTLIGHT There may not be music at the Paramount in Huntington but the venue's art bar Spotlight next door is delivering live music along with burgers and craft cocktails at a dozen outdoor tables daily from 4-8 p.m. “We restructured things when we heard outdoor dining is going to be big,” says manager James Visalli. Singer / Guitarist Brian Ripps was the first to kick off Spotlight's grand re-opening by mixing cover songs with his originals. KJ FARRELL’S Live music is what KJ Farrell's in Bellmore is known for and their backyard patio, which holds 40-50 seats, has become a hotspot showcasing artists from Tuesday-Saturday from 7-10 p.m. (reservations are made in advance). Wonderous Stories has just returned to its regular Wednesday night spot where the audience listened to classic rock covers. GARDEN GRILL The patio at Garden Grill has been retooled holding 100 people. Music is offered Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30-9:30 p.m. and Sunday 1-8 p.m. in the fresh air. Singer / songwriter JD Leonard recently performed his own country tune, “Just Drive” and got a standing ovation (热烈鼓掌). “Everybody seemed so happy to be out here.

It serves craft cocktails. B MacArthur’s devotion to sailing dates back to when she was just four years of age, when she first got the opportunity to have a try. “I’ll never forget that feeling as a kid of setting foot on a boat for the first time,” MacArthur said. “It kind of struck me that this boat had everything we needed to take us anywhere in the world. And as a child, that opened up everything,” she explained how it felt like the “greatest sense of freedom”. This experience lighted a passion within MacArthur. She knew then that she wanted to sail around the world. She had no idea how to achieve it — growing up in the countryside, it wasn’t the most obvious career path — but she knew that was what she wanted to do at some stage. So she acquired knowledge and saved up for years to pursue a career in sailing. She would have potatoes and beans every day for eight years so that she could save up to buy the right equipment. By reaching certain financial goals and asking technical questions about sailing, MacArthur felt as though she was getting closer to her ambitions. “When you know where you’re going, you can actually get there — even if it seems impossible. The impossible could be possible and aiming high is not necessarily such a nutty thing to do.” And it seems that MacArthur’s drive to become a sailor went beyond her expectations. At the age of 24, she started to receive media attention after participating in the Vendee Globe, a single-handed non-stop yacht (帆船) race that goes around the world. She came in second place. Some three to four years later, MacArthur chose to sail for 71 days and 14 hours, covering more than 26,000 miles during the course of her journey. This led to MacArthur scoring a new world record in 2005, as the fastest person to sail around the globe single-handedly. While this record has since been surpassed, MacArthur is still considered as Britain’s most successful offshore racer. 24. What happened to MacArthur when she was four? A. She sailed around the world. B. She got stuck in a boat. C. She had her first taste of sailing. D. She saw a boat for the first time. 25. What do we know about MacArthur from paragraph 2? A. She worked as a technician to earn money. B. She commanded financial support for her ambitions. C. She knew clearly about her career path. D. She prepared herself for her goal. 26. What happened to MacArthur in 2005? A. She set the world sailing record. B. She attracted media spotlight. C. She secured second place in a yacht race. D. She had her personal best surpassed. 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Follow your own course, and let people talk. B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. C. Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. D. Doing is better than saying. C Imagine wandering through a dark forest for hours, then traveling all the way home — in a straight line. Bull ants do this every night, and scientists have long wondered how. It turns out they use a previously unknown type of Moon compass (指南针) —never seen before in the animal kingdom. To figure it out, Cody Freas, a behavioral ecologist, and his colleagues trapped bull ants the moment they left their nests. They allowed or denied the insects the chance to observe the Moon by grouping the individuals in a clear bottle or a black box. Then they brought them to an unfamiliar setting 200 meters away — an abandoned basketball court— to test which direction they traveled home. After comparing their separate paths, the team concluded the behavior of ants that could see moonlight was consistent with what's called a time-compensated (时间补偿的 ) lunar compass. Essentially, the insects observe how quickly the Moon moves to estimate the relative position of their home and update that prediction with time. The dynamic speed of the Moon’s movement complicates this strategy. It rises slowly, speeds up when it’s at the highest point in the sky, and then slows down as it sets. Ants could be terribly misled if they don’t account for that, but the researchers discovered the insects have an inborn sense that the Moon’s speed shifts, and they compensate for it. The discovery makes bull ants the first known animals to navigate (导航) using this type of compass. Navigating with the Moon presents several advantages. Unlike stars, which other insects use to navigate, the Moon is not blocked by light pollution, and it can be bright enough to breakthrough clouds. Bull ants also have specialized eyes that allow them to see circular (环形的) patterns of polarized moonlight spreading across the sky, so they can sense the Moon’s position, even when it's below the horizon. Freas says the study has given him a new appreciation of the Moon as a navigational aid. “The more time you spend under the Moon,” he says, “the more it seems like a much better helper than you originally think.” 28. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The process. B. The purposes. C. The background. D. The findings. 29. What helps bull ants navigate correctly according to the text? A. Their familiarity with the path to home. B. Their tolerance for the Moon’s movement. C. Their independence from time compensation. D. Their adjustment to the Moon’s speed change. 30. What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph? A. Navigating with the Moon is reliable for the bull ants. B. Bull ants’ eyes are characterized by circular patterns. C. Light pollution affects bull ants’ sense of direction. D. Bull ants can see the Moon below the horizon. 31. What does Freas think of bull ants using Moon compass? A. It’s controversial. B. It’s challenging. C. It’s mysterious. D. It’s amazing. D My late mother was an artist of some renown in the Pacific Northwest. Over her many-decades career, her paintings evolved from highly representational watercolors into mixed-media abstracts. Growing up, I could draw a little myself and enjoyed doing so, but I never had her talent. Once, I asked her how I could improve. I supposed I expected her to say something like “Practice 10,000 hours.” Instead, she told me to look at what I wanted to draw. I stared at a tree, noticing details I’d ignored before: the rough bark, shifting shadows, and delicate leaves. Drawing each detail carefully, I created my best work yet. More importantly, I discovered the joy of truly observing the world. This act of deep attention is called savoring — a skill that enriches both art and life. Psychologists define it as “fully appreciating positive moments,” like enjoying a sunset or reliving happy memories. Studies show savoring activates the brain’s reward system, reduces sadness, and boosts happiness. In experiments, people who focused on daily positive experiences became happier, especially those with fewer good moments. Savoring also creates vivid, lasting memories of joy. Yet humans naturally focus on negatives — a survival instinct from ancestors who needed to avoid dangers. Today, this “negativity bias (偏见)” often backfires, making us trapped in problems and overlook good moments. Scientists warn that constant negativity twists thinking and lowers life satisfaction. The solution? Practice savoring. Start with positive moments: pause to enjoy a meal or a friend’s laugh. But challenges can also be savored. Try a “failure journal”: write down a setback (e.g., an argument), leave space, then return weeks later to note lessons learned (“I improved communication”). Months later, add positive outcomes (“We grew closer”). This involves savoring — and shows how you can use the practice to transform even unwelcome experiences into positive opportunities for growth and perspective. This reframing helps find meaning in difficulties, much like finding beauty in an imperfect drawing. My mother’s advice wasn’t just about art — it was about living. By observing deeply, we uncover hidden layers in both the ordinary and the difficult. Savoring turns fleeting moments into lasting joy and challenges into growth. That’s the true art of life. 32. What does the author focus on by the personal story? A. Observing the world is essential for a painting. B. Every detail deserves attention when drawing. C. Deep attention is a source of living a happy life. D. Savoring is a skill of truly observing the world. 33. What does the author imply about “negativity bias” in modern life? A. It is necessary for survival today. B. It reduces our ability to enjoy life. C. It helps us avoid dangers effectively. D. It improves people’s life satisfaction. 34. According to the text, what is a “failure journal” used for? A. Reflecting on setbacks to find positive results. B. Tracking mistakes to avoid errors in the future. C. Recording positive moments and the emotions. D. Keeping track of the interpersonal relationships. 35. Why does the author compare “savoring” to “finding beauty in an imperfect drawing”? A. To explain that art involves accepting flaws. B. To criticize people who focus on negativity. C. To show challenges can be changed into growth. D. To argue that art is more important than science. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you ever feel stuck when facing a difficult task, thinking, “I’m just not good at this”? This is a sign of a fixed mindset. 36 A growth mindset means believing your abilities can improve with effort and learning. Developing this mindset can make you more resilient and successful. Here are some practical ways to build it. First, pay attention to your self-talk. The words you say to yourself matter. When you make a mistake, instead of thinking “I failed,” try thinking, “This is a chance to learn.” 37 For example, if you get a low score on a math test, a fixed mindset would say, “I’m bad at math.” A growth mindset would say, “I need to find a better way to study this topic.” 38 Challenges are not threats; they are opportunities to grow. When you try something hard, your brain forms new connections. Don’t avoid difficult tasks. Embrace them. Start with small challenges and gradually take on bigger ones. Each time you push through, you prove to yourself that effort leads to improvement. Another key is to value the process over the result. 39 Praise yourself for the hard work you put in, not just for a perfect outcome. Did you practice piano for an hour every day? That’s worth celebrating, even if the recital wasn’t flawless. This shift in focus makes you more willing to keep trying. Finally, learn from others. 40 Talk to people who have overcome obstacles. Read stories about famous scientists or artists who failed many times before succeeding. Their journeys remind us that struggle is a normal part of the path to mastery. Remember, developing a growth mindset is a journey itself. It won’t happen overnight. But by practicing these steps, you can train your brain to see possibilities instead of limitations. A. This simple change in language can shift your perspective. B. However, you can choose to develop a different way of thinking. C. Therefore, you should always ask for help immediately. D. Second, see challenges as opportunities. E. For instance, watching others succeed can make you feel jealous. F. It’s important to focus on your effort and strategies, not just the final grade or score. G. Surround yourself with people who have a growth mindset. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For years, my life centered around the pool.

Downstairs from our apartment, my parents managed a small Chinese bakery. My mother chose my name after our street address — Pearl Wong. Like many strict Chinese mothers, mine constantly stressed the need to excel. “Be the best or be forgotten,” she’d say in her choppy English. She inspected my school grades like a detective, ready to scold me if she saw a B instead of an A. One holiday, my brother got a chess set missing several pieces. Mom called it “worthless trash,” but my siblings and I couldn’t stop playing with it — especially me. I flooded everyone with questions: “Why can’t this piece move farther?” “Why does that one attack sideways?” My mother wiped flour from her hands and gave me the rulebook. “You figure it out,” she shrugged. I studied every page, memorized strategies, and practiced until my fingers memorized the board. Before long, I was defeating my brothers effortlessly. Each win sharpened my skills and fueled my obsession to dominate. When I began competing in tournaments, trophies (奖杯) started piling up. Mom transformed into my loudest cheerleader — in her unique style. She demanded perfection at every match and arranged each prize in the bakery’s display window. Though I begged her to stop, she’d wave me off. Soon, her cakes sat beside gleaming awards. “This my Pearl — chess genius!” she’d boast to customers, glowing with pride. But her boast made me feel like a puppet (木偶), as if my victories belonged to her, not me. One weekend, Mom dragged me from shop to shop in Chinatown, not buying anything. “Meet Pearl Wong — chess queen of our neighborhood!” she announced to every store owner. Their forced smiles tightened as we stayed, their annoyance growing with each introduction. 注意： (1) 续写词数应150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Yet, she went on and on, totally ignoring my burning eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 1 ) 第 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荆州中学2026届五月模拟考试四答案 1-20 C B A B C / A B C B A / B C C A A / C B C B A 21-23 CDB 24-27 CDAB 28-31 ADA D 32.-35 C B A C 36-40 B A D F G 41—45 ADCBA 46—50 DDABA 51—55 DCCBB 56. where 57. is becoming /has become 58. a 59.faced 60.Unlike 61.inability 62. is shown 63.panicking 64.Fortunately 65.to tackle 应用文写作（满分15分） One possible version: Dear Editor, I’m writing to put forward a practical suggestion concerning the activity themed “A Date with Nature”. Among all the possible options, I highly recommend organizing a campus tree-planting activity because it enables us to get closer to nature and beautify our campus. The activity can be arranged as follows. To kick off the event, our principal will deliver a short speech, elaborating on the significance of tree planting for environmental protection. As the activity proceeds, students will plant young trees in the school garden, working in close collaboration with their classmates. Finally, everyone will take photos with their trees and attach special tags to them, capturing this meaningful moment. I sincerely hope that this proposal will be adopted. It will surely bring more joy and a valuable experience to every student. Yours, Lihua 读后续写： One possible version: Yet, she went on and on, totally ignoring my burning eyes. As she was ready to take me to the next stop, I erupted, “I wish you wouldn’t do that!” She grabbed my hand tightly, her eyes blazing with a mix of shock. In a trembling voice, she asked if being her daughter was something I found embarrassing. Though I knew I should stay silent, I heard myself yelling, “You are using me to show off!” She stopped talking, a blend of anger and hurt appearing on her face. Panicked and outraged, I fled in dead silence, not daring to look back. When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies. Her hands moved swiftly yet quietly. I almost thought she was going to “give me color to see”. However, suddenly she spoke, “I’m sorry, Pearl. I didn’t mean to use you. I’m just too proud to be your mama.” Hearing that, I looked up, her wrinkled face telling a long story. Tears blurred my vision as I stepped forward, wrapping her in an American-style hug. For the first time ever, I felt like a real champion not only in my own heart but also in my mum’s heart. 答案与解析： A 篇 本文是一篇应用文，介绍了长岛四家提供户外现场音乐的酒吧或餐厅。 百科知识 纽约长岛（Long Island）是北美洲在大西洋内的一个岛，最早追溯到17世纪，1650年被命名为Lange Eylandt，位于北美洲东海岸边，属于美国纽约州。 21.  C 事实细节题 根据Maria Rose定位到PORTSIDE BAR & GRILL，并由On Monday nights ... fro 7-10 p.m.得出答案。 22. D 事实细节题 根据题干，定位到文中含有时间的段落，而题干中every day与SPOTLIGHT中第一段的daily属于同义异构，因此选D。 23. B 事实细节题 根据KJ FARRELL'S中reservations are made in advance可知，这个地方需要提前预订，与B选项be booked in advance为同义异构，其他选项的细节对应其他酒吧，可一一排除。 B篇：本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了 MacArthur 从四岁接触航海开始就热爱上了这项运动，并通过自己的努力，最终成为一名成功的航海家。 24. C 事实细节题 根据第一段 MacArthur’s devotion to sailing dates back to when she was just four years of age, when she first got the opportunity to have a try 可知答案为 C。 25. D 推理判断题 根据第二段 So she acquired knowledge and ... she was getting closer to her ambitions 可推知 MacArthur 为了实现自己的目标，做了非常多的准备。 26. A 事实细节题 根据第四段 This led to MacArthur scoring a new world record in 2005, as the fastest person to sail around the globe single-handedly 可知，MacArthur 在2005年成为单人环球航行最快的人，打破了世界纪录。 27. B 主旨大意题 本文主要介绍了 MacArthur 通过自己的努力，实现了环球航行的梦想，并最终成为一名成功的女性航海家。作者通过描述 MacArthur 的经历，想要告诉读者“世上无难事，只怕有心人”。 C篇: 本文是一篇前沿科技说明文，介绍科学家新发现：公牛蚁利用一种前所未有的“月球罗盘”导航，其核心机制是“时间补偿”，能根据月亮移动速度调整方向，甚至在月亮低于地平线时也能感知其位置。文章语言严谨，逻辑缜密，是典型的科普类阅读。 28. A 推理判断（段落主旨） 定位第二段：​“trapped bull ants…allowed or denied…grouping…brought them…to test…comparing their separate paths…concluded…” 解析：​题干问第二段主要讲什么。A选项“The process.”（过程）准确概括了整段内容——研究者如何设计实验（捕捉蚂蚁、分组、放生、观察路径、对比数据），最终得出结论。这是标准的“实验方法”段落。 错误选项分析：​B. “The purposes.” → 目的是第一段提出（科学家长期好奇），非第二段重点。C. “The background.” → 背景是首句“scientists have long wondered how”，非本段。D. “The findings.” → 发现是第三段和结尾段的内容，非本段。 29. D 细节理解 定位文章中：第三段：“the dynamic speed of the Moon’s movement…ants could be terribly misled if they don't account for that…discovered the insects have an inborn sense…compensate for it.” 解析：​题干问公牛蚁如何正确导航。D选项“Their adjustment to the Moon’s speed change.”（它们对月球速度变化的调整）是对原文“compensate for it”（补偿它）的直接概括，即它们天生能感知月球速度变化并调整计算，从而准确导航。 错误选项分析：A. “Their familiarity with the path to home.” → 原文说蚂蚁被带到“unfamiliar setting”，说明它们不熟悉路径，属事实错误。B. “Their tolerance for the Moon’s movement.” → “tolerance”指容忍，原文强调“compensate”（主动调整），非被动容忍。C. “Their independence from time compensation.” → 原文说它们“use a time-compensated lunar compass”，正是依赖时间补偿，属相反项。 30. A 推理判断 定位文章中：​倒数第二段：“Navigating with the Moon presents several advantages…not blocked by light pollution…bright enough to breakthrough clouds…specialized eyes…sense the Moon’s position, even when it’s below the horizon.” 解析：​题干问从倒数第二段能推断出什么。A选项“Navigating with the Moon is reliable for the bull ants.”（用月亮导航对公牛蚁而言是可靠的）是对整段“advantages”的总结：不受光污染影响、能穿透云层、即使月亮在地平线下也能感知——这些都证明该方法可靠。 错误选项分析：​B. “Bull ants’ eyes are characterized by circular patterns.” → 原文说“see circular patterns of polarized moonlight”，是看到环形偏振光，非眼睛本身有环形图案，属偷换概念。C. “Light pollution affects bull ants’ sense of direction.” → 原文说月亮导航“not blocked by light pollution”，意味着不影响，属相反项。D. “Bull ants can see the Moon below the horizon.” → 原文说“sense the Moon’s position”，是感知位置，非“see”月亮本身，属偷换动词。 31. D 推理判断（作者观点） 定位文章中：​最后一段：“Freas says…gave him a new appreciation…‘the more time you spend under the Moon…a much better helper than you originally think.’” 解析：​题干问Freas对公牛蚁使用月球罗盘的看法。D选项“It’s amazing.”（令人惊叹的）是对“new appreciation”和“much better helper than you originally think”的情感概括。他表达了惊奇、赞叹之情，认为月亮的作用远超想象。 错误选项分析：​A. “It’s controversial.” → 无争议内容，属无中生有。B. “It’s challenging.” → 原文说蚂蚁能应对挑战，非Freas觉得研究挑战，属曲解对象。C. “It’s mysterious.” → 原文已揭示原理，非神秘，属事实错误。 D篇：本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，通过作者母亲的艺术建议引出“品味”（savoring）的概念，探讨深度观察对提升生活幸福感的作用，并分析人类负面偏见的危害及应对方法。 32. C. 推理判断题。根据第二段“This act of deep attention is called savoring — a skill that enriches both art and life.(这种深度关注的行为被称为品味——一种丰富艺术和生活的技能）及最后一段“ Savoring turns fleeting moments into lasting joy and challenges into growth.(品味会让转瞬即逝的瞬间变成持久的快乐，让挑战变成成长)”可知，作者通过个人故事强调深度关注是幸福生活的源泉。故选C项。 33. B. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Today, this “negativity bias (偏见)” often backfires, making us trapped in problems and overlook good moments. Scientists warn that constant negativity twists thinking and lowers life satisfaction.(今天，这种“消极偏见”经常适得其反，使我们陷入困境，忽视了美好的时刻。科学家警告说，持续的消极会扭曲思维，降低生活满意度)”可知，现代生活中消极偏见削弱了享受生活的能力。故选B项。 34. A. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Try a “failure journal”: write down a setback (e.g., an argument), leave space, then return weeks later to note lessons learned (“I improved communication”). Months later, add positive outcomes (试着写一份“失败日记”：写下一次挫折（例如，一次争吵），留出空间，然后几周后再回来记下吸取的教训（“我改进了沟通”）。几个月后，加上积极的结果（“我们变得更亲密了”））可知，“失败日记”用于反思挫折并寻找积极结果。故选A项。 35. C. 推理判断题。根据第四段“This involves savoring — and shows how you can use the practice to transform even unwelcome experiences into positive opportunities for growth and perspective. This reframing helps find meaning in difficulties, much like finding beauty in an imperfect drawing.(这涉及到品味——并向你展示了如何利用这种做法将不受欢迎的经历转化为积极的成长机会和观点。这种重构有助于在困难中找到意义，就像在不完美的图画中发现美一样。）可知，把“品味”比作“在不完美的绘画中寻找美”，旨在说明挑战可转化为成长。故选C项。 读后续写： 文本分析：本文以母女情感为线索展开，讲述了身为华裔女孩的作者在纽约唐人街长大，母亲严厉要求她必须优秀。偶然接触国际象棋后，作者苦练成为冠军，但母亲不断炫耀她的奖杯，让她感到被利用。一次当众冲突后，作者愤怒逃离，最终发现母亲收起奖杯向自己道歉，母女相拥和解。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，她继续说下去，完全无视我燃烧的眼睛”和第二段首句中的“当我终于回到面包店时”可知，第一段可描写母亲持续炫耀，作者的情绪积累至爆发，母亲非常震惊，作者迅速逃开。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我终于回到面包店时，妈妈正在收拾奖杯”可知，第二段可描写母亲反思自己的行为，主动向作者道歉，作者理解了母亲，两人拥抱和解。 2. 续写线索：母亲继续炫耀——作者情绪爆发——作者逃开——作者回家——母亲道歉——两人和解 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：grab/clutch/seize ②大喊：yell/shout/cry ③逃跑：flee/escape/run away ④认为：think/assume/guess 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/horror ②愤怒的：outraged/angry 高分句型1 She grabbed my hand tightly, her eyes blazing with a mix of shock.

(if引导宾语从句、that引导限制性定语从句并被省略) (Text 1) M: You share the household bills with your roommate, don't you? W: Yes, we split them fifty-fifty. Last month I paid eighty dollars. (Text 2) M: So, I think we've covered just about everything. What questions do you have about the employee benefits? W: Well, do those health benefits cover my husband and children too? M: Yes, our health plan covers all employees' family members. (Text 3) W: Hey! Look what I've got! M: Another big seashell. Keep it. We can use them as free gifts. W: Shall we go swimming now? M: Not now, I want to paint a picture of the seascape. (Text 4) W: Hello, Laura speaking. M: Hello, it's Paul here. I want to speak to Candy. W: Oh, sorry, she's tied up with a customer. Do you want to leave a message? M: It's about the cover design. There is still something we need to sort out. (Text 5) W: Is the room ready for our guest speaker? M: I don't know. Maybe we'll need 50 more chairs. W: But we already have over 100 seats set up. M: I expect a big crowd. A large audience watches her on TV every week. (Text 6) M: Let's look for a place we can turn off. W: I just saw a sign that said Route 584 North. Aren't we supposed to be on 80 East? M: Yes. We must've taken a wrong turn somewhere. W: I thought you said you knew these roads like the back of your hand. Were you absent-minded or what? M: Please don't be a back-seat driver! W: I try to bite my tongue, but sometimes I can't help myself. (Text 7) W: Good morning. Can I help you? M: Good morning. Could you tell me the times of trains to New York, please? W: Yes. There are trains at 8:59, 9:18, 10:32 and 11:55. M: What time does the 8:59 get to New York? W: At 9:36. And the 9:18 gets to New York at 9:55, the 10:32 at 11:09. M: What about coming back? I'd like to come back at around 7 p.m. W: There's one at 19:10 and the next is at 19:40. M: Emm, how much is it? W: One-way or round trip? M: Round trip, please. W: If you get on after 7:30 p.m, there is a saver round trip which is $16, much cheaper than the original one. M: Well, 7:30 is too late for me. W: OK. I got it. (Text 8) W: Adam, I'm sorry! M: But where have you been, Alice? You're over an hour late. W: Yes. But I couldn't help it. I was late getting off work for a start, and then I missed the 6:30 bus. The next one I did catch got caught in a traffic jam. M: But why were you so late getting off work? The office closes at six, doesn't it? W: Yes, but there was a rush on at the moment, and my boss asked me to do some urgent letters. M: But didn't you tell him you had an appointment? W: Well, no. I thought I'd finish in about five minutes. If it hadn't been for missing the bus and the traffic, I wouldn't have been so late. I am sorry. M: Well, you're here. And that's the main thing. (Text 9) W: How did your meeting go? M: It was quite interesting. W: So what did they talk about? M: Uh, recycling, mostly. They have this plan that everyone should write to the Council. Ask them to collect more rubbish. I'm going to share my duty this evening. W: Oh, I see. I think I might go to the next meeting. I've been meaning to do something … um, I mean, get more active about the environment. M: Yes, we all need to. Global warming, ice caps melting, pollution. W: Yes, we're facing so many environment problems. It's really frightening. M: Well, there's something we could do right now. There's this poster they want to put up all over the college. They've asked us to print it out and put it up in college. You want to help me? W: Sure. It might be an idea to ask Kate to come too. I think she would be glad to do this. M: Yes, let's ask her. Why don't we print it out right now? W: Sure. (Text 10) M: It's been a busy year so far. After celebrating New Year's Day on Palolem Beach in Goa, India, I left for South Africa, where I spent ten days traveling around with my mom. From there, I headed west, and after a quick visit to the U.S., I continued to Mexico in order to lead my two-week Wander Across Mexico Tour. In the meantime, I do have a few travel plans in place for the near future as well. Just before the end of April, I'll be off to wonderful Istanbul in order to lead, along with Anil, a volunteer from FoxNomad.com, the “I Love Istanbul” tour during the first week of May. Once the Istanbul tour is finished, I'll then go to Bucharest, Romania for a couple of weeks in May before heading back to the U.S. for a wedding of my friend at June 2nd. And those are my travel plans for the near future. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
