The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has a long and famous tradition of welcoming visiting groups to the Shakespeare Houses, each place with its own fascinating story to tell.

Mary Arden's Farm
Meet the costumed locals as they go about their daily tasks of cooking, tending crops and feeding the rare animals.

Traveling by train may seem like a pain when there are faster ways to get around, but unless you've taken a long journey by train, there is no way you can begin to understand how amazing an experience it can be. Trains offer a certain romance(浪漫) which planes and cars never could.
Trains offer you a view like no other. When you fly in a plane, yes, the view is breathtaking for the first part of the flight and the final part, but the flight itself means pretty much clouds or darkness—both of which get real boring and real fast. And by car, the actual act of driving and navigating(导航) means that you don't really get to fully take things in. The train offers a comfy(轻松的) spot that gives you the chance to relax and enjoy the beauty around you. Many have said that they'd never known how beautiful their own country is until having the chance to see it from the train. There is something magical about travelling around the country using one of the oldest known methods of transportation.
If you're inspired by this article enough to want to consider a trip enjoying the train, then my first suggestion would be a trip in and around Europe. You've likely heard of Eurail which is the best way to get all around Europe, but before we get into that, know that many European countries still use the old fashioned locomotives(火车头) for regional trips. Imagine travelling along the beautiful countryside of Portugal or Austria in a compartment. The quiet setting, the history and the magic is enough to take your breath away. That really is the ultimate in travel.
24.What does the author of the passage think of traveling by train?
A.It is an amazing experience. B.It is a painful experience.
C.It is uncomfortable. D.It is slow but comfortable.
25.What kind of writing style does the author use in writing the second paragraph?
A.Description. B.Explanation.
C.Persuasion. D.Comparison.
26.When do passengers get bored very fast?
A.When the plane is taking off.
B.When the plane is about to take off.
C.When the plane is flying into clouds.
D.When the plane is landing.
27.What does the underlined phrase “take your breath away” most probably mean?
A.Make breathing difficult. B.Make you surprised.
C.Make you satisfied. D.Make you scared.
C
As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without any living things.
Pollution in water is not simply a matter of "poisons" killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms (生物体) to be affected are either plants or plankton(浮游生物). But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it's not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river's edge or on the seashore that people realize what is happening.
Where do the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources of sewage (污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂) is used in the home, so more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergents harm water bird, dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof (防水的). Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful as there are many highly poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead (铅).
So, if we want to stop this pollution,the answer is simple: sewage and industrial waste must be made clear before flowing into the water. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
28.Pollution of water is noticed ________.
A.when the first organisms are affected
B.when a good many fish and birds die
C.when poisonous things are poured into water
D.as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed
29.The living things die because there is no _____in the lakes or rivers.
A.water B.waste
C.poison D.oxygen
30.Which of the following is harmful according to the passage?
A.Organisms.
B.Plants and plankton in the water.
C.Waste water from cities.
D.Industrial waste made clear before flowing into the water.
31.The way to stop water pollution is to ________.
A.realize the serious situation clearly
B.put oxygen into the water
C.make the waste harmless before it flows into the water
D.make special room in the sea for our rubbish
D
Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
Around the World in Eighty Days, written by French author Jules Verne in 1872, is a classic adventure novel that combines thrilling adventures with vivid depictions of 19th-century global travel. The story follows Phileas Fogg, a wealthy and precise English gentleman, who wagers(打赌) £20,000 with his Reform Club friends that he can circumnavigate the globe in just 80 days. Accompanied by his loyal French valet(仆人), Passepartout, Fogg departs London immediately, embarking on a journey filled with unexpected challenges.
Their route takes them across continents and oceans—through the Suez Canal, India, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, and back to Europe—using trains, steamships, and even elephants. Along the way, they rescue Aouda, an Indian princess fleeing forced ritual suicide, and avoid a persistent detective, Fix, who mistakenly believes Fogg is a bank robber. Despite obstacles like storms, missed connections, and cultural misunderstandings, Fogg’s calm determination and strategic thinking keep them on track.
The climax arrives when Fogg, delayed by Fix’s arrest (逮捕,拘留)in Liverpool, appears to lose the bet by arriving five minutes late. However, a twist(反转,转折) reveals that by traveling eastward, Fogg unknowingly gained a day due to time zones(时区), allowing him to triumphantly claim victory at the Reform Club with seconds to spare. The novel concludes with Fogg marrying Aouda, blending adventure with a touch of romance.
Verne’s work not only fascinates readers with its suspenseful plot but also critiques societal issues of the era, such as British colonialism and cultural exploitation. Its themes of perseverance, ingenuity, and the spirit of exploration make it a timeless tale for young readers.
32. What prompted Phileas Fogg to begin his journey around the world?
A. A desire to explore new cultures.
B. A bet with his friends at the Reform Club.
C. An urgent mission to rescue Aouda.
D. A plan to escape Detective Fix’s pursuit.
33. Why did Detective Fix follow Phileas Fogg throughout the journey?
A. He wanted to protect Fogg from danger.
B. He believed Fogg had stolen money from a bank.
C. He aimed to help Fogg win the wager.
D. He was hired by the Reform Club to monitor Fogg.
34. What is the central theme of the book Around the World in Eighty Days ?
A. The importance of friendship during hardships.
B. The clash between technology and nature.
C. Perseverance and the spirit of exploration.
D. The dangers of colonial expansion.
35. How does Jules Verne create suspense in the novel’s climax?
A. By introducing a sudden romantic subplot.
B. By revealing Fogg’s secret identity as a criminal.
C. By using the time zone difference to reverse the outcome.
D. By describing a dramatic battle with Detective Fix.

Last week, our school held the yearly sports meet. I was excited to compete in the 800-meter race. When the starting gun fired, all the runners shot out like bullets. I felt that I was running pretty fast, hearing my classmates cheering and applauding for me. I was in the lead towards the end of the race, but suddenly I lost control of the proper rhythm of my pace, and fell on the track right in front of the finishing line. “Good heavens!” a loud sigh burst out. As I was struggling to stand up, two other runners behind me stopped to give me a hand. I was so surprised, because that meant that they would miss the good place of the race. Seeing this, people cheered and dedicated loud applause to us. It was then that I realized the true spirit of sports: friendship first, competition second.
