Four best places to stay in Europe
Terraegna Mountain Hut
This stone shepherd’s hut has the low impact of a bothy (茅屋), with a few added luxuries: solar-powered electricity and hot water. This is a place where bears, wolves and wild boar roam (漫游). The hut can accommodate groups of up to 10. It is part of a drive to use tourism to help protect local species such as the Marsican brown bear.
Wheatland Farm
No stone has been left unturned in delivering low-impact holidays at this 21-acre
conservation project and rural getaway in Devon. There are owls (猫头鹰) here, nine species of bat, and hares. The five cottages are run on 100% renewable energy. Station transfers and electric bike hire encourage car-free holidays.
Parcel Tiny House
Designed and located to help travellers “rediscover the terroir”, Parcel House is a series of self-sufficient Tiny Houses carefully positioned in vineyards, meadows and farms. The hosts are eager to share their passion for slow food and traditional methods. Each house is equipped with solar panels and dry toilets. A lack of TV and wifi is a deliberate step to help guests switch off.
Magdas Hotel
Magdas Hotel has an enviable green location in one of Europe’s greenest cities. It’s run by a combination of socially minded hoteliers and immigrants, all on a mission to promote inclusivity. Artwork from the local college, local wine and beer served on the secluded terrace (露天看台) add to the welcoming atmosphere. Those arriving by train or bike receive a 10% discount.

At an age where many of his contemporaries are winding down, Jo Schoonbroodt is
somehow speeding up. On Sunday, the 71-year-old from the Netherlands, ran a marathon in 2hr 54min 19sec to become the fastest septuagenarian (70-90 年龄组) in history.
A few days later, when the Times catches up with him, his achievement is still sinking in. “I only started jogging at 36 because my doctor told me I had high cholesterol (胆固醇),” he says. “But last year I ran 7,242 kilometres, which is more than double what I did in my car.”
But the secrets of his success might surprise you.“Most runners train too hard. I do a lot of my training with groups who run very slowly. And then I build on these basics with some faster interval training.”
Schoonbroodt often runs at 9-or 10-minute mile pace, far slower than the 6.38min / mile he ran for 26.2 miles to set his world record, but he says the crucial thing is that he listens to his body. “A lot of people follow a training plan or coach and push on even when their body is saying: ‘No, this is not a good day to do it.’ But if you go out the door and just do what you feel, it’s easier to keep running and stay injury-free.”
Being a late bloomer (大器晚成), he believes, has actually helped him because his ego (自我 意识) never had to worry about chasing faster times of his youth. “Because I started so late, I missed my best years. But that’s no problem. Everything is still new to me.”
Schoonbroodt, meanwhile, has no plans to put his feet up. “My next marathon is in two and a half weeks, on an old Roman road built 2,000 years ago,” he says, the excitement obvious. It will be his third in 2023. And with that he is off. After all, the quest (追求) for another sub-three-hour marathon waits for no man. Not even one who is 71.24. What message does Schoonbrodt’s story carry?
A. It is never too late to run. B. More haste, less speed.
C. Time waits for no man. D. An earlier bird catches the worm.
25. What is the secret behind Schoonbrodt’s success?
A. He competed with slower runners.
B. He made full use of the intervals.
C. He trained in line with his condition.
D. He ran faster in the races than in trainings.
26. Why is being a late bloomer helpful to Schoonbrodt?
A. He can draw lessons from other runners.
B. He has no youthful success to think back to.
C. He can equip himself with new running skills.
D. He has a strong desire to make up for the lost time.
27. How does Schoonbrodt talk about his next marathon?
A. He is unsure of winning it. B. He is eager to participate in it.
C. He has no plan to enter for it. D. He will not run it in three hours.
C
A study has revealed that renting clothes, long regarded as one of the “answers” to fashion’s sustainability crisis, is worse for the planet than throwing them away.
The study assessed the environmental impact of five different ways of owning and disposing of (处理) clothing, including renting, resale and recycling. It found that renting clothes had the highest climate impact of all. The hidden environmental cost was found to be delivery and packaging costs. Renting involves taking the clothes back and forth between the warehouse and the renter. Dry cleaning is also harmful to the environment.
Renting clothes has been thought of the sustainable alternative to fast fashion, popularised by companies such as Rent the Runway and public figures like Carrie Symonds, who rented her wedding dress and her outfits for the G7 conference.
The growing sector, which according to GlobalData is going to be worth £2.3bn by 2029, has been regarded as a possible solution to fashion’s environmental crisis. A report by the World Economic Forum this year suggested that the industry generates 5% of global emissions.
However instead of solving fashion’s environmental crisis, renting should be recategorised. “We should think of renting like second-hand shopping,” said Dana Thomas, author of the study. “It’s not something we do all the time, instead of buying our clothes and swapping out outfits nonstop, but on occasion, when the need arises, like dances or weddings.”
The study found many rental brands misuse the term “circular economy” – the system where clothes are passed from person to person before being recycled – as a form of greenwashing. “No manager wants to optimize (优化) their business, and that’s what ‘going green’ will require,” said Thomas. “They are too focused on short-term gains to invest in long-term benefits. ”
“Only regulation will solve that problem. No company, in any industry, will volunteer to take a loss for the sake of the planet. They’ll do so when it’s the law. The biggest obstacle is greed.”
The new study suggests that if rental companies change their logistics (物流) to make them more climate friendly, renting would, environmentally, be on a level with reselling. It also found that the most sustainable way to consume fashion is to buy fewer high-quality items and to wear them for as long as possible.
28. What makes renting clothes the worst green option for consumers of fashion?
A. Storage cost. B. Rising rental price.
C. Complex renting procedures. D. Transportation and dry cleaning.
29. What does the study say concerning renting clothes?
A. It serves as a sustainable alternative to fast fashion.
B. It is beneficial to the economic development.
C. It is adoptable for some special occasions.
D. It saves the need of buying new clothes.
30. How can we force rental companies to optimize their business?
A. By reducing their taxes. B. By making up for their losses.
C. By making relevant laws. C. By enhancing their eco-awareness.
31. What’s the most sustainable way to consume fashion?
A. Avoid renting fashions. B. Buy less and buy better.
C. Wear second-hand fashions. D. Pick up bargains at sales.
D
While you might be tempted (诱惑) to gobble up your dinner, researchers say there may be advantages to taking your time over a meal. Eating slowly could help prevent obesity (肥胖), with researchers finding a link to both lower waist line and body mass index (BMI).
The study, published in the journal BMJ Open by researchers in Japan, looked at data
collected though health checkups and claims from more than 59,700 individuals as part of health insurance plans, with data from 1998 to mid-2012.
The results reveal that 21.5% of the slow-eating group was obese, compared to almost 30% of the normal-speed group and 45% of the fast-eating group. While the slow eaters had an average BMI of just over 22, the normal eaters had a BMI of 23.5 on average, and the fast eaters had an average BMI of around 25, while waist circumference was also found to increase with faster eating pace.
Further analysis found that slower eating speed, not skipping breakfast regularly and not
regularly eating dinner just before bed were all associated with a lower chance of obesity.
With almost a third of participants having had two checkups, the team were also able to look at the impact of changing habits. The results reveal that those who switched to eating more slowly between health checks, not snacking after dinner or eating dinner just before going to bed all showed signs of a reduction in their BMI. Changing breakfast habits, using antidiabetic (抗糖尿病) mediation and stopping regular smoking were not linked to any changes in BMI.
Tam Fry, chairman of the National Obesity Forum, said: “The speed at which a lot of people wolf down their food is undeniably a contributor to obesity. In particular, workers who gobble up their lunch at the desk are doing their health no favours. They should stop what they’re doing, switch off their phones and emails and preferably take a half hour away from the office altogether.”
32. What does the underlined part “gobble up” in Para. 1 mean?
A. Cook. B. Skip.
C. Order online. D. Eat quickly.
33. How did the researchers get their findings?
A. By analyzing decades’ data. B. By making comparisons.
C. By referring to another study. D. By measuring participants’ waistline.
34. What do we know about the impact of changing habits on BMI?
A. It is unrelated. B. It is obvious.
C. It is not confirmed. D. It remains to be seen.
35. What does Tam Fry intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Criticize fast eaters. B. Make a summary.
C. Offer a suggestion. D. Provide evidence.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的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。
Working from home has its advantages, but a sense of community is not one of them.
___36____ Research finds that people with friends at work are more satisfied with and perform better at their jobs. So what does it take to make friends at work? Here are some tips:
Schedule an informal meeting just to chat.
__ 37 One study found that while people feel closer the more time they spend together, this wasn’t true at work. In fact, the more time people spent together at work, the less close they felt. This is likely because when we only focus on work, we don’t reveal anything about ourselves. If you want to make friends at work, stop talking about work.
Make informal meetings consistent.
Friendship is not built from one interaction; it grows gradually. ____38____ Scheduling an informal chat is great, but this chat needs to be repeated for a friendship to develop. The best way to do this is to put a standing meeting on your calendar, perhaps once a week or once a month, depending on preference.
Share more of yourself.
Now that you have stopped talking about work, start sharing stories. Study shows that people like people who disclose details about themselves and when people answer a series of intimate questions, they feel closer afterward. 39 Some good options are: What do you do for fun? What were you like in high school? etc.
______40
We often think likable people are funny or smart or charismatic, but the secret to being
likable is actually to like people. People like people who they think like them. Co-workers will be more likely to want to be your friend if you show them you like them by doing things like greeting them warmly and celebrating their success.
A. Express praise.
B. Get intentional with team building.
C. We unconsciously like those we are more exposed to.
D. Use interesting questions to get to know your co-workers.
E. It pays to build a network of co-workers who see your value.
F. You can’t build a friendship if you only ever talk about work.
G. Still, feeling connected at work is necessary for our success in our jobs and lives.

A Youth Volunteer Activity of Protecting Our Mother Rivers





第二节 (满分 25 分)
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For years I took the bus to school and back from where we live in Pennsylvania. But when I got my license at 17, I would jump on any excuse to drive. Two weeks after I got my license, we had exams at school and I decided not to drive because I was tired from studying. That afternoon I sat on the bus and thought, “I can’t wait to go home and take a nap (小睡).”
For almost six months, we’d had the same driver. Every morning and afternoon he would say hi and chat a little. All the kids on the bus were from our school; there were about 30 of us, aged from 4 to 18. I’d talk with everyone and sometimes bring the younger ones
sweets. I was kind of the bus mother and I enjoyed it.
The younger kids sat in the front and the high schoolers sat in the back; I sat in the middle. That afternoon I was sitting by the window next to a 13-year-old girl who was telling me about her day, when there was a loud thud (砰击声). I looked up to see the younger children standing and looking down towards the front of the bus. Our driver wasn’t at the wheel. He had fallen from his seat and his feet had come off the pedals (踏板). He was on the ground, shaking.
I was looking at this, thinking, “How am I going to do this?” Then I saw a car coming
towards us – we were in the middle of the intersection. It was around 3pm, so there was a lot of traffic. We’d been stationary (不动的) at a red light but the bus started to move slowly, at about 5mph, on its own and started drifting into the opposite lane.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I instantly went into problem-solving mode.


An ambulance arrived within 5 minutes.

W:There is nowhere else on Earth like Kakadu National Park in the northern area of Australia.The moment you drive through its gate you are entering an ancient area full of wildlife — a place for the 500 species of birds and animals to live.Here,in this vast area of land,the size of Belgium, or half of the size of Austria, you will see sights that will take your breath away.
There's loads to do and it's not easy to choose.Kakadu Culture Camp was a good choice,but we finally decided on the Yellow water Cruise, which is more popular. 18 It was a wonderful experience and probably the best attraction in Kakadu National Park. We were highly impressed we had just returned from Kruger National Park in South Africa and were worried the experience wouldn't be so good. Happily, the Yellow water Cruise was surely the highlight of Kakadu. We bought the Sunrise & Sunset ticket from the website, as they were offering a low price.During the tour of the Yellow Water Cruise,there were only 6 people on the boat,so we could easily walk around and take pictures of various fish and active bird life which exists in the wet season. We saw loads of fresh and saltwater fish and an endless list of bird life.And the prettiest is the Azure Kingfisher, a brightly-colored bird hunting fish,which is the most impressive part of the tour.
