Italy’s cheap old homes continue to appeal to hundreds of interested buyers, among whom was Roy Patrick, a 67-year-old British who deals in antiques in Italy. Patrick bought an old school house in the mountain village of Carrega for $16,500. It’s both an adventure and a joy.

Patrick bought the property quite by accident. When told about the wonders of the village, he toured there to take a look and was instantly struck by the 1930s school building. “The house is particular and the view is unique: The way the sun goes down over the mountains, you’d say ‘wow’. It’s a fantastic wonderland,” says Patrick.

The property was offloaded by the local government to boost the populations of communities in decline. Since the purchase, he’s been visiting every two weeks and finds it has many charms. “Top of the list is the friendliness of the local residents, followed by the breathtaking views I get out of the windows looking across the valley,” he adds.

Patrick’s initial encounter with his new home was less than promising. He had to climb through a window to open up the building, which had been shut for decades and whose door was jammed, with the keys nowhere to be found.

However, a later structural disaster turned into a positive story. When an unstable chimney (烟囱) collapsed due to a heavy snow, a neighbor volunteered to climb onto his roof to make it safe. The locals are so welcoming that they are ready to help newcomers.

During the restoration needed to make the old school habitable, Patrick unexpectedly unearthed a great many treasures: dusty piles of old text books, inkwells, pupil registers and other historical items.

Patrick has some advice for those with the thought of buying a house in Carrega: There is absolutely nothing, just great views, pure air and clean surroundings. No bars, supermarkets, or restaurants. A vehicle is essential to move around. However, Carrega does spring to life in the summer when vacationers arrive to relax. “There are nights when people throw a party with loud music,” says Patrick. “Otherwise it’s just singing birds and total silence.”

4. What led to Patrick’s purchase of the old schoolhouse?

A. The locals’ friendly attitude. B. Its location and rising value.

C. Its uniqueness and surroundings. D. The government’s housing welfare.

5. What was the government’s intention of selling the property?

A. To attract more settlers. B. To boost local tourism.

C. To preserve village traditions. D. To reform education system.

6. What’s one of Patrick’s added bonuses of getting the house?

A. Acquiring more personal space. B. Digging up some historical finds.

C. Enjoying a more active social life. D. Getting free home decoration service.

7. How does it feel most of the time living in Carrega?

A. Quiet. B. Lively.

C. Modern. D. Convenient.

A walk in the park may be just what the doctor ordered. A new program launched last month in Canada gives some doctors the option of providing patients with a free annual pass to the country's national parks as part of an effort to increase access to nature and the health benefits.

PaRx, a health initiative launched by the BC Parks Foundation in 2019, partnered with Parks Canada to provide doctors across four provinces with an initial run of 100 passes that can be prescribed(开处方). The program allows doctors to write more general prescriptions for time spent out in nature; two hours a week, at least 20 minutes at a time, is what PaRx director Dr. Melissa Lem suggests.

“Given the growing body of evidence that indicates nature time can improve all kinds of different physical and mental health conditions, we’re hoping that our PaRx program not only improves patient health, but reduces costs to the health-care system, and helps to grow the number of people who are more engaged environmental advocates,” said Prama Rahman, a coordinator for the BC Parks Foundation.

Doctors have been catching on, instructing their patients to turn to nature to improve their health and they're getting creative in how they do it. Dr. Robert Zarr, a doctor based in Washington, began prescribing accessible outdoor activities for his young patients and even created a searchable online database of local parks to make it easier.

But getting outside isn’t always as easy as it might sound. Income can affect one’s access to nature, an issue that PaRx is trying to address in Canada. Doctors utilizing the new national parks pass program are urged to prioritize patients who might not otherwise be able to afford these passes.

While only 100 adult passes, which give holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves, have initially been made available, organizers plan to routinely reassess this number as the program grows, the BC Parks Foundation told NPR

8. What is PaRx intended to do?

A. Qualify doctors to prescribe. B. Give patients free access to parks.

C. Promote free admission to parks. D. Advocate 20 minutes’ walk a day.

9. What does the underlined word “utilizing” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Financing. B. Setting up. C. Evaluating. D. Carrying out.

10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The BC Parks Foundation is expanding rapidly.

B. The program has signed up 80 national parks.

C. More people will benefit from the program.

D. Those living close to parks can gain priority.

11. Which is the best title of the text?

A. PaRx, a Nature Prescription Program. B. BC Parks Foundation in Canada

C. Year-long Passes to National Parks D. A New Study on Benefits of Walk

There are few places on Earth that humans haven’t messed up. Now even Antarctica, the only continent with no permanent human inhabitants, is being altered by us. A study found that the increasing human presence in Antarctica is causing more snow melt-bad news for a frozen world already battling the effects of human-caused global warming.

Black carbon, the dark, dusty pollution that comes from burning fossil fuels has settled in locations where tourists and researchers spend a lot of time, scientists found. Even the smallest amount of the dark pollutant can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low reflectiveness: things that are light in color, like snow, reflect the sun's energy and stay cool; things that are dark, like black carbon, absorb the sun's energy and warm up.

“The snow albedo (反射率) effect is one of the largest uncertainties in regional and global climate modeling right now,” Alia Khan, a snow and ice scientist at Western Washington University, told CNN. “That’s one of the motivations for the study, to quantify the impact of black carbon on regional snowmelt, which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in the global loss of snow and ice.”

“Antarctica is sitting there pretty much silently all year. But, if it weren’t there, in the state that it is meant to be, the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer be,” Marilyn Raphael, a geography professor said. “Antarctica’s sea ice is also important to maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation,” he added. As waters get warmer, some Antarctic creatures are finding their homes more and more unlivable.

“Everything we do has consequences,” Raphael said. “We need to educate ourselves about those consequences, especially in systems that we know relatively little about. We have to be careful that we don’t upset the climate balance.”

12. Why can the smallest amount of black carbon have huge impact on melting?

A. It is highly reflective. B. Its dark colour absorbs heat.

C. It produces vast energy. D. It causes much pollution.

13. According to Alia, which of the following is one reason for conducting the study?

A. To measure the impact of black carbon on melting.

B. To quantify the cost of battling against climate change.

C. To remove the uncertainties of global warming effects.

D. To urge people to pay more attention to melting problem.

14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A. The change caused by Antarctic melting. B. The methods to stop Antarctic ice melting.

C. The significance of Antarctic being in its state. D. The sufferings Antarctic creatures are experiencing.

15. What does Raphael advise people to do?

A. Reduce tourist numbers. B. Face the consequences.

C. Acquire professional education. D. Stop disturbing the climate.

Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills. _____16_____Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression.

___17___ As a restorative practice it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more: _____18_____

Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself. ____19____ However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically brilliant, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.

What are art therapists’ superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being. ____20____ These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.

A. Art therapy is a double-edged sword.

B. Thus, the many benefits of creative self-expression are lost.

C. They develop art as an expressive skill for solving problems.

D. But, obviously, releasing their anger in this way isn't a good choice.

E. Art therapy, in its own ways, can influence a range of human functioning.

F. It can significantly enhance positive moods and boost measures of well-being.

G. However, with art therapists’ help, their energy could be changed into creative products.

Gilleece. 42. didn't like the idea that a theft could have happened at his place, so he spent hours searching 16 different cameras, watching the woman’s every step until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a hoodie(连帽衫)approached the bench, Put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted a clip on the bar’s Facebook page. “I didn't want to criticize him." he said. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was.” Within hours. Giileece got a text message from 17-year-old Rivers Prather, who admitted taking the wallet and said he'd done it because he hadn't eaten in two days. Thinking the ring was fake, he threw the wallet into the ocean and took the money to buy a sandwich.

Gilleece. unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teenager Io meet him at the docks(码头).There. they got to talking, and Prather said that he wasn't getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week Gilleece. a father of two. took stock of(审视)Prather- his small body, his flushing(涨得通红)checks - and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal.

Hou ever, the police were already on the ease and because of the missing ring. Prather could be facing severe charge. Gilleece decided to help. He employed two local divers to search the waters where Prather had thrown the wallet. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen down to the station. Instead.

【答案】Paragraph 1.

A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current. More than an hoi passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilleece grew worried, especially when the police began questi Prather and trying to get him to admit to keeping the ring. Each passing minute increased the chances that he would arrest the young man. Then a diver popped up. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers erupted from the crowd. Even the detective was happy.

Paragraph 2.

But it wasn’t over for Gilleece. He’d been troubled about Prather sleeping in the cold woods. Gilleece knew his home was big enough to give Prather a place to live for a while. He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy got on his feet again. He also gave the kid a job at his bar.“Most people would have given the footage(监控录像)to police, but be chose to believe me and help me. I’ll work hard to become a good guy, just as he expected,” Prather said in an interview.
