Led by our knowledgeable volunteer guides, it is a fun and informative way to explore the grounds. Free daily walking tours Tours leave at 11:00 a.m, and 1:30 p.m. from the information desk at Victoria Gate Plaza. Each guide presents their own tour and takes in the highlights (最精彩的部分) of the season. Themed tours Tours leave at 12:00 a.m. from the information desk at Victoria Gate Plaza. Our guides offer a variety of attractive seasonal themes including Autumn Colour and Winter Evergreens. Meet the experts guided tours Every Tuesday throughout the year at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. we’ll be holding a “Meet the experts guided tour”.

However, facing challenges can unlock unexpected growth and opportunities. For me, saying “yes” to new challenges has been a key to self-improvement, even when fear tried to hold me back. An example lies in my experience with learning the piano. At the age of 12, I was invited to join a school piano recital (独奏会). I had only played simple pieces and had never performed in front of an audience. My hands trembled at the thought of sitting on that stage, but something inside me whispered, “What if I can?” So I took a deep breath and said “yes”. Practicing was far from easy. The piece I chose had complicated melodies (旋律). There were nights when I wanted to quit, frustrated by my mistakes. But each time I felt like giving up, I reminded myself why I’d said “yes” in the first place: not to be perfect, but to grow. Gradually, the music began to flow. On the day of the recital, though nervous, I played confidently. The applause afterward wasn’t just for the performance — it was for the courage to try. Looking back, I realize that saying “no” would have kept me in a safe but unchanging and inactive place. By facing the challenge, I gained not only piano skills but also the belief that I could overcome fears. This experience taught me that challenges are not obstacles but stepping stones. They push us beyond our limits and show strengths we never knew we had. In a world that often encourages staying within our comfort zones, dare to say “yes” to new adventures. Whether it’s learning a new skill, joining a competition, or helping someone in need, each “yes” is a chance to grow. Remember, growth begins at the end of your comfort zone. 4. Why was the author nervous about the piano recital? A. Her piano teacher was very strict. B. She didn’t like the piece she had to play. C. She had never performed in public before. D. She forgot the music during practice. 5. What did the author remind herself when she wanted to quit? A. She needed to be perfect for the recital. B. She said “yes” to grow, not to be perfect. C. Her family was expecting a great performance. D. The recital was too important to miss. 6. What does the author encourage readers to do? A. Try to learn some new skills. B. Face new challenges bravely. C. Take on difficult tasks. D. Help others in trouble. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. Facing challenges leads to personal growth. B. Saying “no” to challenges helps us grow. C. People should face difficulties calmly. D. Playing the piano is easy with enough practice. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己克服恐惧参加钢琴独奏会的经历，阐述了面对挑战能带来个人成长这一观点，并鼓励读者勇敢面对新挑战。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I had only played simple pieces and had never performed in front of an audience. My hands trembled at the thought of sitting on that stage (我只弹过简单的曲子，从未在观众面前表演过。一想到要坐在那个舞台上，我的手就发抖)”可知，作者从未在公众面前表演过，所以想到要在舞台上表演就会紧张。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But each time I felt like giving up, I reminded myself why I’d said ‘yes’ in the first place: not to be perfect, but to grow. (但每次我想放弃的时候，我都会提醒自己当初为什么说‘是’：不是为了完美，而是为了成长。)”可知，当作者想放弃时，她提醒自己说“是”是为了成长，而不是为了完美。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In a world that often encourages staying within our comfort zones, dare to say ‘yes’ to new adventures. (在一个经常鼓励我们待在舒适区的世界里，要敢于对新的冒险说‘是’。)”可知，作者鼓励读者勇敢面对新挑战。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“However, facing challenges can unlock unexpected growth and opportunities. (然而，面对挑战可以开启意想不到的成长和机会)”、第四段中“This experience taught me that challenges are not obstacles but stepping stones. They push us beyond our limits and show strengths we never knew we had. (这段经历让我明白，挑战不是障碍，而是垫脚石。它们推动我们超越极限，展现出我们从未意识到的力量。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者通过参加钢琴独奏会的经历，明白了面对挑战能带来个人成长，所以文章的主旨是面对挑战能带来个人成长。故选A项。 C Villages have existed in England since the Roman period. There were free communities, but most were of dependent farmers. Life was hard, even when the country did not suffer from deadly diseases and hunger. The majority of England’s population was rural (乡村) until the 18th century, when a great shift towards towns and cities began. By the 19th century, people started to reexamine village life, longing to experience the way of living that was already disappearing. Since 1945, the past has accelerated (加速) away from people at a faster rate than ever before. In 1969, in his landmark Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village, the famous English writer Ronald Blythe offered a realistic description detailing the end of the old English village. But the great English historian W. G. Hoskins suggested that the whole history of the country could be told through one village. Inspired by his view, Michael Wood filmed the TV series Michael Wood’s Story of England in the village of Kibworth. And now time has moved on again. In some of the English villages, big farms have replaced smallholders (小农场主); private houses have become spa hotels. Despite these changes, the village still stands for the idea of community, a word more and more in use now as we search for our commonality (共性). It is a place of 500 or 1,000 people, where everyone knows each other and each other’s business, but always helps out in an emergency; a place where one can still feel connected and hold that dream of a harmonious vision of society. Some of the English people feel concerned about immigrants, but their villages always have newcomers, just like Saxons, Angles, Normans, Africans and Bangladeshis in history. That is who they are. In reality, English villages have been deeply shaped more by inequality and class conflict than those newcomers. So, as Hoskins suggested, if you were to learn about England, why not choose an English village, such as Handsworth near Birmingham? It was home to the Lunar Society of Matthew Boulton, as well as to musicians like Stevie Winwood and Joan Armatrading. Wouldn’t that be fun? 8. What was early rural life like in England? A. It was far from easy. B. It had been destroyed by cities. C. All farmers worked together. D. Villagers suffered from various diseases. 9. What led to the filming of the England story TV series? A. Post-war social changes. B. Hoskins’ idea about one village. C. The growth of small farms. D. The success of Blythe’s Akenfield. 10. Why do villages still matter today? A. They contribute to population growth. B. They have become a key source of income. C. They keep important ancient Roman buildings. D. They provide a sense of belonging and togetherness. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Great Shift from Rural to Urban B. Why Villages Are Dying Out C. A Window into England: The Village D. The History of European Villages 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章通过回顾英格兰村庄从古至今的历史变迁，指出村庄虽经历现代化改变，但依然作为社区和归属感的象征而存在，并强调村庄是理解英格兰的独特窗口。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Life was hard, even when the country did not suffer from deadly diseases and hunger. (生活很艰难，即使在国家没有遭受致命疾病和饥饿的时候。)”可知，早期英格兰的乡村生活远非容易。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But the great English historian W. G. Hoskins suggested that the whole history of the country could be told through one village. Inspired by his view, Michael Wood filmed the TV series Michael Wood’s Story of England in the village of Kibworth. (但伟大的英国历史学家W. G. Hoskins认为，整个国家的历史可以通过一个村庄来讲述。受到这一观点的启发，Michael Wood在基布沃思村拍摄了电视系列剧《Michael Wood的英格兰故事》。)”可知，Hoskins关于一个村庄的想法促成了这部片子的拍摄。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Despite these changes, the village still stands for the idea of community, a word more and more in use now as we search for our commonality (共性). It is a place of 500 or 1,000 people, where everyone knows each other and each other’s business, but always helps out in an emergency; a place where one can still feel connected and hold that dream of a harmonious vision of society. (尽管经历了这些变化，这个村庄依然代表着社区的理念——一个如今在我们寻找共同点时越来越被使用的词语。这里住着五百到一千人，每个人彼此相识，了解彼此的事务，但在紧急时刻总能互相帮助；这是一个人们仍能感受到彼此联系的地方，也是怀揣着社会和谐愿景的梦想之地。)”可推知，村庄在今天依然重要的原因是它能给人们提供一种归属感和团结感。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“But the great English historian W. G. Hoskins suggested that the whole history of the country could be told through one village. Inspired by his view, Michael Wood filmed the TV series Michael Wood’s Story of England in the village of Kibworth. (但伟大的英国历史学家W. G. Hoskins认为，整个国家的历史可以通过一个村庄来讲述。)”可知，文章回顾了英国乡村的历史变迁，并在第二段和第五段反复强调了一个核心观点：整个英国的历史可以通过一个村庄来讲述，文章的主旨是将村庄作为了解英格兰的一扇窗户，所以“了解英格兰的窗口：村庄”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。 D Meaningful conversations with children can be challenging for a parent.

Women supporting each other truly”可知，女性间的支持“确实很有帮助/很重要”，rocked在此为俚语，意为“很棒/很有效”，结合前文“what 'rocked'”可知，此处用rocked呼应前文。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：我们的向导最后表达了她的钦佩，不仅赞扬了我们的体能，还赞扬了我们的积极态度，并说她希望在三四十年后能像我们一样。A. thanks感谢；B. sympathy同情；C. admiration钦佩；D. care关心。根据后文“praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years”可知，向导在表达对她们的“钦佩”。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：她的话缓解了我对衰老的恐惧。A. woke唤醒；B. hid隐藏；C. shifted转移；D. eased缓解。根据前文“Our guide ended by expressing her_______, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years.”向导说希望自己三十四十年后也能像她们一样，这句话“缓解”了作者对衰老的恐惧。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：因为所取得的成就而被珍视的感觉就像赢得了奥运奖牌——即使只是为了参与。A. courage勇气；B. participation参与；C. glory荣耀；D. effort努力。根据前文“Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal”以及“even if just for”可知，作者想要表达的是：虽然感觉自己赢得了奖牌，但这份成就感实际上只是来自于“参与”本身,而不是真正获得冠军。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There are several reasons why school uniforms are a good idea. First of all, uniforms help the school look smart. The students feel that they belong to a particular group. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody ____36____ (have) to worry about fashion (时尚). Everybody wears ____37____ same style of clothes. Uniforms can be useful in unexpected ways. A school in Ireland has introduced an interesting new uniform. On the edge of the jacket, there is a piece of cloth ____38____ gives off light in the dark. When the children are walking or ____39____ (cycle) to school on dark mornings, car drivers can ____40____ (easy) see them. But can uniforms help improve school standards? The answer ____41____ this question is not clear. One study in America found that students’ grades ____42____ (improve) a little after the school introduced uniforms. But some students didn’t want ____43____ (wear) the uniform. Other American studies showed no ____44____ (connect) between uniforms and school performance. School uniforms are ____45____ (tradition) in Britain, but some schools are starting to get rid of them. Some very good schools don’t have a uniform policy. However, uniforms are still popular. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms. 【答案】36. will have##has 37. the 38. that##which 39. cycling 40. easily 41. to 42. improved 43. to wear 44. connection##connections 45. traditional 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是校服的好处、关于校服与学业成绩关系的研究，以及校服在英国的现状。 【36题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：当学校里每个学生都穿校服时，就没人需要担心时尚问题了。由wears可知，句子时态用一般现在时，描述客观事实，主语nobody是不定代词，因此空格处用第三人称单数；when引导的是时间状语从句，句子遵循主将从现的原则，空格处所在的主句也可用一般将来时，即will have。 【37题详解】 考查定冠词。句意：每个人都穿同样款式的衣服。the same是固定用法，意为“同样的”。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在夹克的边缘缝有一块布，在暗处会发光。空格处引导限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词a piece of cloth是物，因此用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。 【39题详解】 考查时态。句意：当孩子们在漆黑的早晨步行或骑车上学时，汽车司机能很容易地看到他们。or表并列，由are walking可知，时态是现在进行时，因此空格处用cycling。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：当孩子们在漆黑的早晨步行或骑车上学时，汽车司机能很容易地看到他们。空格处用副词easily修饰动词see，easily意为“容易地”。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：这个问题的答案并不明确。the answer to...是固定搭配，意为“……的答案”。 【42题详解】 考查时态。句意：美国的一项研究发现，学校引入校服后，学生的成绩略有提高。由found可知，时态是一般过去时，空格处用过去式。 【43题详解】 考查不定式。句意：但有些学生不想穿校服。want to do意为“想要做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to wear。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：美国的其他研究则表明，校服与学业表现之间没有关联。no后跟名词，作宾语，connect的名词是connection，意为“关联”，可用单数，也可用复数。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：校服在英国是传统，但一些学校正开始废除它。一些非常好的学校没有校服制度。空格处用形容词traditional作表语，traditional意为“传统的”。 第四部分基础运用(共三节，满分25分) 第一节单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，共10分) 46.

B In our daily life, many people tend to shy away from difficulties, choosing the comfort of familiarity over the unknown. However, facing challenges can unlock unexpected growth and opportunities. For me, saying “yes” to new challenges has been a key to self-improvement, even when fear tried to hold me back. An example lies in my experience with learning the piano. At the age of 12, I was invited to join a school piano recital (独奏会). I had only played simple pieces and had never performed in front of an audience. My hands trembled at the thought of sitting on that stage, but something inside me whispered, “What if I can?” So I took a deep breath and said “yes”. Practicing was far from easy. The piece I chose had complicated melodies (旋律). There were nights when I wanted to quit, frustrated by my mistakes. But each time I felt like giving up, I reminded myself why I’d said “yes” in the first place: not to be perfect, but to grow. Gradually, the music began to flow. On the day of the recital, though nervous, I played confidently. The applause afterward wasn’t just for the performance — it was for the courage to try. Looking back, I realize that saying “no” would have kept me in a safe but unchanging and inactive place. By facing the challenge, I gained not only piano skills but also the belief that I could overcome fears. This experience taught me that challenges are not obstacles but stepping stones. They push us beyond our limits and show strengths we never knew we had. In a world that often encourages staying within our comfort zones, dare to say “yes” to new adventures. Whether it’s learning a new skill, joining a competition, or helping someone in need, each “yes” is a chance to grow. Remember, growth begins at the end of your comfort zone. 4. Why was the author nervous about the piano recital? A. Her piano teacher was very strict. B. She didn’t like the piece she had to play. C. She had never performed in public before. D. She forgot the music during practice. 5. What did the author remind herself when she wanted to quit? A. She needed to be perfect for the recital. B. She said “yes” to grow, not to be perfect. C. Her family was expecting a great performance. D. The recital was too important to miss. 6. What does the author encourage readers to do? A. Try to learn some new skills. B. Face new challenges bravely. C. Take on difficult tasks. D. Help others in trouble. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. Facing challenges leads to personal growth. B. Saying “no” to challenges helps us grow. C. People should face difficulties calmly. D. Playing the piano is easy with enough practice. C Villages have existed in England since the Roman period. There were free communities, but most were of dependent farmers. Life was hard, even when the country did not suffer from deadly diseases and hunger. The majority of England’s population was rural (乡村) until the 18th century, when a great shift towards towns and cities began. By the 19th century, people started to reexamine village life, longing to experience the way of living that was already disappearing. Since 1945, the past has accelerated (加速) away from people at a faster rate than ever before. In 1969, in his landmark Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village, the famous English writer Ronald Blythe offered a realistic description detailing the end of the old English village. But the great English historian W. G. Hoskins suggested that the whole history of the country could be told through one village. Inspired by his view, Michael Wood filmed the TV series Michael Wood’s Story of England in the village of Kibworth. And now time has moved on again. In some of the English villages, big farms have replaced smallholders (小农场主); private houses have become spa hotels. Despite these changes, the village still stands for the idea of community, a word more and more in use now as we search for our commonality (共性). It is a place of 500 or 1,000 people, where everyone knows each other and each other’s business, but always helps out in an emergency; a place where one can still feel connected and hold that dream of a harmonious vision of society. Some of the English people feel concerned about immigrants, but their villages always have newcomers, just like Saxons, Angles, Normans, Africans and Bangladeshis in history. That is who they are.
