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, youll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. Its 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 Centre 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 three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Centre from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Centre. 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 havent been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, youve 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 harbor-side markets. Dont leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. Its delicious.

[2022·全国甲卷,阅读C篇]
As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins(企鹅)longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career(职业)as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,”Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale;it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land,to be respected by humans,was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
( )28.Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A.Try challenging things.
B.Take a degree.
C.Bring back lost memories.
D.Stick to a promise.
( )29.What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A.Lovely penguins.
B.Beautiful scenery.
C.A discount fare.
D.A friend’s invitation.
( )30.What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A.It could be a home for her.
B.It should be easily accessible.
C.It should be well preserved.
D.It needs to be fully introduced.
( )31.What is the text mainly about?
A.A childhood dream.
B.An unforgettable experience.
C.Sailing around the world.
D.Meeting animals in Antarctica.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了71岁的Ginni Bazlinton从小就热爱旅行、渴望探险,她周游世界,并在2008年前往南极洲进行了一次令人难忘的旅行。
28.A 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段画线词组前文“Throughout her career(职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest…”可知,Ginni在退休和儿子们独立生活之后,决定尝试有挑战性的事情。由此推知,画线词组take the plunge与try challenging things(尝试有挑战性的事情)意思相近。故选A。
29.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego…”可知,是优惠的票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C。
30.C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.”可知,旅行结束后,Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C。
31.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.”和倒数第二段中的“‘From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,’Ginni says.”可知,文章主要介绍了71岁的Ginni Bazlinton的难忘的南极洲之旅。故选B。

[2023·浙江1月考]
With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, its comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.
Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 36. But no matter when you travel, its a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 37. Then you wont have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.
Bring a blanket. When youre riding on trains, you wont be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 38. In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.
Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 39. Note: the times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.
Have fun. 40. Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour) by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile (the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, youre going 67.92 mph.
A.Train trips arent for impatient types.
B.Youll have views from both sides of the train.
C.The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control.
D.Thats particularly true during busy summer months.
E.You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one.
F.The chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom.
G.He may also book you in a sleeping car thats right next to the diner.
【文章大意】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一些使坐火车旅行尽可能愉快的建议。
36.D 根据上文“Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly.”(提前计划。大多数长途火车,尤其是卧铺,很快就卖完票了。)以及下文“But no matter when you travel, its a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.”(但无论你什么时候去旅行,最好至少提前90天预订。)可知,大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被预订完,所以要提前安排预订,D项“在繁忙的夏季的几个月里尤其如此。”符合语境,D项中busy summer months与前后文呼应,说明在忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选D项。
37.G 根据上文“A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets.”(一个好的旅行代理商有时可以给你找到打折的票。)以及下文“Then you wont have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.”(这样你就不必为了吃饭而每天三次在行驶的火车上走过几节车厢了。)可知,好的旅行代理商帮你预订,不仅可以给你找到打折的票,还可以为你节省从卧铺到餐车的距离,G项中“…book you in a sleeping car thats right next to the diner.”与前后文对应,因此推断G项“他可能还会给你预订餐车旁边的卧铺车厢。”符合语境。故选G项。
38.C 根据上文“When youre riding on trains, you wont be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one.”(当你乘坐火车时,你不会免费获得一条毯子,即使你的旅行是过夜的。)以及下文“In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.”(特别是在夏天,空调会让它们很冷。)可知,这里提到了车厢内温度的问题,提醒乘客最好自备毛毯,C项中the temperature on rail cars与前后文对应,因此推断C项“火车车厢上的温度通常很难控制。”符合语境。故选C项。
39.E 根据上文“Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster.”(大多数火车每天只开一趟,有些火车一周只开三趟,所以错过你的火车可能是一场灾难。)以及下文“Note: the times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.”(注意:时刻表上列出的时间是出发时间,不是到达时间。)可知,本段提醒人们要提前安排时间,错过火车是一件很麻烦的事情,E项中“You might have to wait longer…”与前后文对应,说明错过火车所导致的结果,因此推断E项“你可能要等24个多小时才能赶上下一班。”符合语境。故选E项。
40.A 根据上文“Have fun.”(玩得开心。)以及下文“To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600 (the number of seconds in an hour) by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile (the distance between two mileposts).”[要计算你的速度,用3600(一小时的秒数)除以你走一英里(两个里程碑之间的距离)所花费的秒数。]可知,本段讲述了如何度过乘车时间,A项讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人,与后文提到的要计算行驶速度,用不同的方式打发时间对应,符合语境。故选A项。

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36. So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic,though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment,the plumbing(水管)worked. 37. Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered,and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 38. French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavour bombs.
39. On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France,quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 40. When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labour unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A.Not all the customers are tourists.
B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E.That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F.Our aim was to see if we could live,in some way, like real Parisians.
G.The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了“我”和丈夫在巴黎一周的生活经历。
36.F 上文“My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.”介绍了故事发生的背景,下文“So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.”是结果,由此可知,空格处应介绍作者和丈夫去巴黎居住的原因,选项F符合语境。
37.C 根据上文“Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked.”并结合下文的“Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, ‘Ouverture des portes,’ in perfect French.”可知,空处也应介绍住所的设施。
38.G 根据下文“French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavour bombs.”可知,法国草莓尝起来不像硬纸板,相反,它们会在你嘴里“爆炸”,就像一个个小的风味炸弹。由此可知,空处应是说,法国的食物十分美味,不需要太多就能让你开心。
39.E 结合上文“As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight.”可知,他们吃得很好,而且从不长胖。再根据后文提到作者花了18美元买了一把熟透了的小草莓和一个小甜瓜可推知,价格高是巴黎人吃得少的另外一个原因。由此可知,选项E符合语境。
40.A 根据上文“French cafés are always crowded.”并结合后文“When do these people work?”可知,此处重点介绍了法国咖啡馆的顾客来源,选项A承上启下,符合语境。

Some of our 41 are funny, especially from the early years when our children were little. Once, we 42 along Chalk Creek. I was 43 that our 15-month-old boy would fall into the creek (小溪). I tied a rope around his waist to keep him near to our spot. That lasted about ten minutes. He was 44 , and his crying let the whole campground know it. So 45 tying him up, I just kept a close eye on him. It 46 —he didn’t end up in the creek. My three-year-old, however, did.
Another time, we rented a boat in Vallecito Lake. The sky was clear when we 47 , but storms move in fast in the mountains, and this one quickly 48 our peaceful morning trip. The 49 picked up and thunder rolled. My husband stopped fishing to 50 the motor. Nothing. He tried again. No 51 . We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor. As we all sat there 52 , a fisherman pulled up, threw us a rope and towed (拖) us back. We were 53 .
Now, every year when my husband pulls our camper out of the garage, we are filled with a sense of 54 , wondering what camping fun and 55 we will experience next.

【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生态旅游,主要介绍了其特点、起源以及要遵循的原则。

65.the 考查冠词。此处特指与环境有关的旅游和冒险旅游的迅速发展,需用定冠词。
66.of 考查介词。此处为所有格结构,意为“……的”,文中指各种各样的旅游形式。

65.recommended 考查动词时态。 从句子结构可知,and连接两个并列的谓语动词,所以空格处所填词的时态应该和shared一致,故填 recommended。

67.traditional 考查词形转换。空格处在名词stories前,所以应该用形容词作定语。故填traditional。
68.hugely 考查词形转换。空格处在句中位于形容词前,所以用副词修饰。故填hugely。
69.were invited 考查动词时态和语态。根据语境判断句子讲述的是过去发生的事情,故此处需用一般过去时;而且主语we和动词invite之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动形式。故填were invited。
70.listening 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,逗号后是非谓语动词作状语,且逻辑主语we和动词listen之间是主动关系,故用现在分词。故填listening。
