PlayattheMuseumofLondonDocklands
The Museum of London Docklands has a great play area called “Mudlarks.”Everything is themed around life in the London docks(码头).Big kids can weigh goods or put tea sets into a model ship while the smaller kids get to move around and play with large foam(泡沫) bananas and London buses or pretend to drive a DLR (Docklands Light Railway) train.
TakeaPictureinKensingtonGardens
Stop by the bronze statue of the fictional character Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens,which is located next to Hyde Park,for the opportunity to take a photo and even read one of the famous PeterPan stories by J.M. Barrie.The exact location of the statue was chosen by Barries,who lived close to Kensington Gardens and published his first PeterPan story in 1902 using the park for inspiration.
ExploretheLondonDungeon
The London Dungeon calls itself “the world’s most famous horror attraction”.It moved from Tooley Street to its new home near County Hall and the London Eye and cost millions of pounds to build.The new London Dungeon features live actors dressed in scary clothes as historical figures,realistic special effects and two breathtaking(惊人的) rides to bring back a thousand years of London’s dark past.

The elderly residents(居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity(慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing.It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia,a serious illness of the mind.Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier.She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.
“I like the project a lot.I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.
“It’s good to have a different focus.People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them.I’m enjoying the creative activities,and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East,and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson,extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street,one of the first to embark on the project,said:“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions.We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.” 
Lynn Lewis,director of Notting Hill Pathways,said:“We are happy to be taking part in the project.It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
24.What is the purpose of the project?
A.To ensure harmony in care homes.
B.To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C.To raise money for medical research.
D.To promote the elderly people’s welfare.

26.What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?

John Constable was born in Suffolk,England,on 11 June 1776.His family hoped that he would join his father’s business,but he showed great interest in art when he was very young.Finally,his family allowed him to enter the Royal Academy School,a very famous art college in England,at the age of twenty-two.
At the Royal Academy,he was a good student,spending all his spare time drawing and reading.
He showed his first painting in 1802.Constable believed the greatest art came from using the inspiration of nature,rather than using various techniques and imagination on art.
In his lifetime,Constable never had much money.His fame only grew after his death.He was unable to earn a living from the paintings.To support his family,Constable often drew portraits(肖像) of others.But it was something he never really enjoyed.He was attracted by the beauty of the British countryside.
He sold more paintings in France than in his home country,England,at first.But when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad,he said he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad”. 
Constable died in 1837.During his lifetime he got little praise in his home country for painting countryside scenery.Yet he is now considered to be one of the greatest British artists.
28.John Constable studied painting because 　　　. 
A.he was interested in it
B.his parents hoped he would study it
C.he wanted to make more money
D.he liked the Royal Academy School
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Hisfamilyhopedthathewouldjoinhisfather’sbusiness,butheshowedgreatinterestinartwhenhewasveryyoung.”可知,他的家人希望他能加入父亲的事业,但他很小的时候就对艺术表现出极大的兴趣。因此JohnConstable学习绘画是因为他对绘画感兴趣。故选A项。
29.At the Royal Academy,John Constable 　　　. 
A.wasn’t a good student
B.didn’t get on well with his classmates
C.was very hardworking
D.became very famous
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“AttheRoyalAcademy,hewasagoodstudent,spendingallhissparetimedrawingandreading.”可知,在皇家学院,他是个好学生,把业余时间都花在绘画和阅读上。因此在皇家学院,JohnConstable是非常努力的。故选C项。
30.What do we know about John Constable?
A.He thought technique was the most important in art painting.
B.His paintings sold better in France than in England at first.
C.He was interested in drawing portraits.
D.He became very rich by painting.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“HesoldmorepaintingsinFrancethaninhishomecountry,England,atfirst.”可知,起初他在法国卖的画比他在英国卖的多。因此他的画一开始在法国比在英国卖得好。故选B项。
31.What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A.John Constable was willing to travel to France.
B.John Constable was tired of being poor.
C.John Constable didn’t want to sell his paintings.
D.John Constable loved his country very much.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“HesoldmorepaintingsinFrancethaninhishomecountry,England,atfirst.Butwhengiventhechancetotraveltosellhispaintingsabroad,hesaidhewouldrather ‘beapoormaninEnglandthanarichmanabroad’.”可知,他在法国卖的画比在英国卖的多。但当他有机会去国外卖画时,他说他宁愿在英国当穷人,也不愿在国外当富人。因此我们看得出JohnConstable非常热爱他的国家。故选D项。

D
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don’t enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
32.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about 　　　. 
A.the reasons for success
B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success
D.the importance of success
答案A
解析段意归纳题。文中的“运气”“天赋”“家庭环境”等都是指成功的条件或理由,故选A项。本段中并没有讲什么是成功,排除选项B(成功的含义)和C项(成功的标准),也没讲成功的重要性,排除选项D。故选A项。
33.In paragraph 2,the underlined word “that” refers to 　　　. 
A.being good at something
B.setting a practical goal
C.putting in more time
D.succeeding in life
答案B
解析词义猜测题。联系前文的“However,tosucceedinlife,onefirstneedstosetagoalandthengraduallymakeitmorepractical.”可知,要在生活中取得成功,必须要设定一个目标然后逐步将它变得更加实际。故选B项。
34.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because 　　　. 
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Thisisabigreasonwhymanysuccessfulpeopleadviseyoutodosomethingyoulove.”可知答案的关键是this指代的内容,this指代的是第二段中的“Tobecomegreatatcertainthings,it’llrequireevenmoretime,timethatmostpeoplewon’tputin.”由此可知,成功需要花费很多时间。故选D项。
35.What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.
答案C
解析主旨大意题。文章最后一段是总结段,根据关键词“time;work”可知本文的主题思想是C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
You have probably heard the saying,“It is better to give than to receive.”The act of giving creates positive feelings for both the giver and the receiver.
　36　 Giving can not only bring positive feelings for the receiver,but it has also been shown to be a mood booster(助推器) for the giver.For example,a study published in NatureCommunications found that the participants who chose to spend money on others rather than themselves had a greater increase in levels of self-reported happiness.　37　 Because you’ll create positive energy when saying “Yes”. 
Giving improves your emotional and physical health.　38　 Giving can create positive benefits to your physical health and well-being as well,including decreased stress,lowered blood pressure,and even increased life length.A recent study found that people who volunteered even a few hours a week were 40 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who didn’t. 
Giving increases feelings of appreciation.Both the giver and the receiver can experience a kind of gratefulness when generosity is at play.Why is this so important?Because appreciation is important to your physical,emotional,and spiritual well-being.　39　 
Giving can change the world.All great change starts with small actions.Your generosity has the potential to affect massive change in the lives of other people and creatures.For example:You volunteer at your local animal shelter to accompany homeless dogs.Because these dogs have received extra love,they are happier.Because they are happier,they are more likely to be adopted.　40　 It sets off a chain of small yet meaningful actions that lead to big change. 
A.Giving makes you happier.
B.Giving leaves you more energetic.
C.This situation shows how giving works.
D.Thus,many people choose to give rather than to take.
E.That’s why telling people you are grateful is so important.
F.The benefits of giving extend beyond your emotional health.
G.So nod when your neighbour asks you to join a beach clean-up activity.

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。续写词数应为150左右。
I have kept a watch from my grandfather.When I was a schoolboy,the watch hung by my grandfather’s bed.The face was marked with elegant Roman numerals and the case was gold.It was a splendid watch and I often stared at it longingly as I sat with my grandfather.He would often ask about my progress at school.The day I told him my success in the examinations,he was pleased.“You’ll be going to a new school next.And then you’ll go to university,will you?”he asked.“But you’ll need plenty of patience.Patience and hard work.That’s the way to succeed.”
He took off the watch and stared at it.“It was given me for fifty years of faithful service with my firm,”he said proudly.Finally,he handed me the watch due to the progress in school.I held it,feeling its weight.As I was leaving him,he said,“And you’ll not forget what I told you?”I was suddenly very moved.“No,Granddad,”I promised,“I’ll not forget.”
Arriving home,my mother was to hold it in trust until she considered me old enough to look after it,and she wanted to put it away until then,but I protested so strongly that she finally agreed to hang it where I could always see it.The summer ended and it was time for me to enter the new school.I never made friends easily there.One boy,Crawley,was a well-to-do fellow whose way of impressing us was to show off his possessions.His bicycle was new;his boots were of the best hide;everything,in fact,was better than ours—until he brought a watch.Crawley said his watch was absolutely the finest watch.
“I have a better watch than that,”I announced.“Well,show it to us,”Crawley said sneeringly(讽刺地).“I’ll bring it this afternoon,”I said.“Then you’ll see.”I rode my bike home,wondering how I would persuade my mother to let me take the watch.Luckily,she stepped outside and I slipped the watch into my pocket.

Irodemybikefasttoschoolafterlunch,excitementthroughme.Then suddenly a dog ran out into my path.I pulled at the brake so sharply that I fell over heavily to the ground with the handles over me.I picked myself up,put a trembling hand into my pocket,and brought out what was my grandfather’s proudest possession.The glass was broken,and the pointers stopped turning.I put the watch back and rode slowly to school,numb with sorrow.
WhenIsaidmymothercouldn’tletmebringthewatch,theyburstintolaughter.“What a story!”Crawley said sneeringly.The others took up his cries.I nearly wept,for it was the saddest moment of my young life.As I sat quietly at my desk,a strange feeling stole over me.It was not shame at my classmates’ laughing,nor was it fear of my mother’s anger.All I could think of was my grandfather’s words,“Patience and hard work.”The broken watch I kept was a good reminder.Since then,I have learnt to be more patient and to work harder.
