Harry Potter Studio The Harry Potter Studio tour is one of the easiest day trips from London.Just read the directions on the website where you buy tickets and follow the crowds from the train to the bus.It is a unique experience.A walk through the studio allows families to appreciate every little detail that was put into the production of the Harry Potter movies from the costumes to the sets.Visitors can view the Potions Classroom,board the Hogwarts'Express,and walk through the Dursley's house. Leeds Castle Leeds Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in the UK.It is surrounded by a river and gardens, making it a relaxing and peaceful place.Leeds Castle is open for self-guided tours,and there.are kid-friendly shows.Leeds Castle has a wonderfully-designed maze ()which has a surprise at the center that will appeal to all ages,not just children looking for a place to play.Leeds Castle also has a big playground,one part of which is set aside for small kids while the other inspires teenagers in an old game of hide-and-seek. Windsor Castle Windsor Castle is used by the current British royal family.This makes it the longest-occupied palace in Europe.Afraid that your young children might feel dull?Don't worry.There is a kids'audio tour available as well as an activity that features crafts ()coloring and dress-up for little ones.And in the summer months,parents will be happy to know that there is a place to get an ice cream for their kids centrally located in the castle complex(建筑群). 21.What can visitors do on the Harry Potter Studio tour?

Jen has 21 students,and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention:the smartphone.With dozens of notifications (from apps,emails,and social media updates,it could be hard not to look at your phone for longer than five minutes. Jen shared a boy's essay on her Facebook page."I hate my mom's phone and I wish she never had one.That is an invention that I don't like."The essay is even accompanied by a sad and angry face saying "I hate it,"looking at a drawn phone with a cross through it. "I had my 2nd graders write about an invention that they wish had never been created.Out of 21 students,4 of them wrote about this topic "get off your phone,listen to your kids,"Jen posted on her Facebook wall. Her message was seen by millions and even shared 300,000 times.It received dozens of eye-opening comments."That is so sad.Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more,"Tracy Jenkins posted. Luckily,it seems hat awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing.Both iPhones and smartphones running on a recent Android operating system will soon include features to monitor,control and restrict your personal smartphone use for your own health.

Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 C Research from King's College London has shown that visiting an art gallery and looking at artwork can lower stress and may even improve your body's natural defences. To explore the physical effects of viewing art,scientists invited 50 UK volunteers between 18 and 40 years old to take part.They were split into two groups.One group saw original masterpieces by artists such as Van Gogh and Gauguin in the Courtauld Gallery.The other group saw high-quality printed copies of the same paintings in a laboratory setting.Before and after looking at the art,each person gave a saliva (sample.During the 20-minute session,they also wore research watches that tracked their heart rate and skin temperature. The findings were striking.For those viewing real art in the gallery,levels of the stress hormones( levels fell by 22%.In contrast,the lab group's levels only dropped by 8%.Additionally,some chemicals in the body that rise with stress and can harm long-term health decreased significantly among gallery visitors-by about 30%and 28%for the two key types measured.There was almost no change in the lab group.This indicates that experiencing original art in person can calm the body's stress systems more effectively. "From a scientific perspective,the most exciting part is that art positively influenced three body systems at once:immunity(免掖力)，hormones,,and the nervous system,”said Dr..Tony Woods,the study's lead author."This is a unique result that truly surprised us." Although there is a long history that art has always been connected to feeling better emotionally,this study now offers solid evidence that it benefits physical health too.So if you're looking for a healthy and relaxing activity this weekend,you might want to plan a trip to your local art museum. 28.Why did researchers set up two different viewing environments? A.To attract more public attention. B.To identify which art style is more relaxing. C.To see if the setting changes art's physical effect.D.To compare the popularity of originals and copies. 29.What do the numbers 22%and 8%primarily indicate? A.The stress reduction in different settings. B.The improvement in art appreciation skills. C.The time spent viewing different artworks. D.The age difference between the two groups. 30.What surprised the researchers most according to Dr.Tony Woods? A.The volunteers'strong interest in classic art. B.The immediate drop in the volunteers'heart rates. C.The big difference between gallery and lab results.D.The impact of art on multiple body systems. 31.What does the last paragraph focus on? A.The general history of art therapy. B.The potential limitations of the study. C.A comparison of emotional problems. D.A practical application of the finding. D For twenty years,the internet has been my second home while communicating science.Recently,I came across an image:a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees,declaring,"No intelligent species would destroy their own home."This image troubled me deeply.I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil-because it's obviously untrue.But I often find myself quite lonely.I'm wondering if,perhaps,there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do. We didn't cause climate change through being stupid,but through being extremely smart.Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems:growing more food,heating and lighting homes.We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children.The results have been astonishing.In the U.S.in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five.Today it's under 1 percent,and we will keep pushing until it hits zero.Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we've achieved? So much of that achievement bas been based on the fossil fuels we've burned to generate it,whether coal,natural gas or oil.We've learned that this harms both the environment and people,and to our credit we aren't always bad at addressing this.It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic,the world changes its policies.When harms are done locally,we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up.Here's where I feel hope:we have already done this,and we know it is possible. I don't want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil.I want him thinking humans are problem solvers,and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems,too.This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species. 32.How did the author feel seeing the picture online? A.Disturbed. B.Ashamed. C.Frightened. D.Confused. 33.What is implied by mentioning Ben Franklin and Mark Twain? A.The warning of the warming Earth. B.The progress in social development. C.The praise for human modesty D.The demand for greener energy. 34.Why does the author feel hopeful about humans? A.We will make more policies. B.We have discovered more fossil fuels. C.We highly value the role of the earth. D.We can restore damage to the environment. 35.What does the underlined word"story"refer to in the last paragraph? A.The cycle of causing and tackling problems. B.The ability to create a bright future. C.The evil nature of human beings. D.The positive attitude to life. 3 夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效「 第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，从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。 Good news:your happiest years are still ahead of you.Science says so!Think you have already reached your top in life?We want to share some good news with you:36 According to new research,we're happiest at two points in our lives-not just one.Researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science asked 23,000 German volunteers aged 17 to 85 to rate their life satisfaction.37And then,after five years'time,they reported back on how they actually felt. Their results?Anything but bad!38One's satisfaction reaches higher levels during two ends of the study's age range and moves up and down with middie age.Plus,the researchers noted the two most important years when happiness tops:ages 23 and 69. 39 In our early 20s,we're energetic and excited about the changes that come along with young age:new careers,new places to travel,and new people to meet.By the time we reach our 60s and 70s,though,we have likely retired and can now find the time-not to mention the money-to book a flight to Hawaii at a moment's notice. Of course,that's all the more reason to find easy ways to be happier without really trying,regardless of your age!40For example,you can take a walk or spend time with family.Just remember, now you have one more reason to look forward to getting older:an increase in happiness! A.You might want to think again. B.Your happiest years are still ahead. C.If you think about it,that makes a lot of sense. D.Experts recommend choosing small yet rewarding tasks. E.Volunteers predicted how happy they would feel in five years. F.The study found that happiness tends to follow a U-shaped line over a person's lifetime. G.Take things one step further with the 50 tiny changes that will make you a happier person. 第三部分语言运用（供两节，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和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Most kids would be at a loss what to do when fear sets in.In contrast,14-year-old Holland kept 41 and saved his fellow passengers from a(an)42. 4 Earlier this year,Acie Holland was going about his usual end-of-school-day routine when he realized the school bus driver was acting43.She turned the comer,but there was another street they usually turned on.She pressed the gas and went past the corner.Holland noticed she looked sick or 44,her head hanging down.

Handing him a rope for beginners,Mr.Hayes comforted him gently."No rush.Every tiny attempt counts."He promised to keep him company and practise with him during lunch breaks. From then on,they trained every noon.Mr.Hayes demonstrated (basic moves repeatedly while Leo learned patiently.Stumbling countless times and starting from zero again and again,he never gave up.His classmates cheered sincerely when he finally made a breakthrough and finished ten continuous jumps.

Yours sincerely, Li Hua 亲爱的迈克： 我写这封信是想表达我反对你取消下学期戏剧课的计划。 戏剧课对我们英语学习者而言非常有价值。首先，表演戏剧能极大提升我们的英语口语和发音。此 外，它有助于我们更好地理解剧本中蕴藏的西方文化。而且，登台表演还能培养我们的自信心与团 队协作能力，这是其他课程无法提供的。如果没有戏剧课，我们就会失去一种趣味十足的英语练习 方式。 哀心希望你能重新考虑这项决定。 谨启李华 67.Shocked,Leo headed for Mr.Hayes's office.He stood nervously in front of the teacher,doubting his ability to compete.Sensing his hesitation,Mr.Hayes smiled warmly and told Leo that progress mattered most.He said Leo's persistent efforts and great improvement had impressed everyone deeply.
