Whether you're looking for antiques, food, collectors' items or just random junk, our rich heritage has produced some of the finest markets in the world. Here are 3 of them.

Traders have long sold their goods in the shadow of the city’s spectacular castle, which dates back to 1130—－and it’s a tradition that shows no sign of abating.

One special grandmother is lending 100 years of wisdom to strangers on New York City’s upper West side. Her office attracts many New Yorkers, who wait for a chat with the woman.
Inside the office, you will find a laptop with 100-year-old grandmother Eileen Wilkinson waiting to chat. She may live across the country in Washington State, but thanks to her grandson, Mike Matthews, who is a social professor at New York University, she is now sharing words of wisdom for a chat.
“You can be anything you want, ” Eileen said. “Don’t complain about anything. You can do something about it.”
Over the past three months, hundreds of people have stopped by, chatting with Eileen as if they were old friends. “She completely gets a kick out of meeting New Yorkers because they are so open about their lives, ” said Matthews.
A music student asked for advice on a performance. Others were curious about life in 1917.
One boy said he was already planning his next visit. “She is so wise and energetic,” he said. “And she really doesn't look 100 years old. She looks as if she was in her early late 80s.”
Eileen spent most of her life as a homemaker and mother. She said truly listening gave
her advice-giving ability  and she was honest.
Eileen hosts online chats and has two accounts of the social media. “It works both ways because I get great joy talking to them, ” she said. Eileen isn't slowing down any time soon, bringing new meaning to the saying, “The road to your grandma’s house is never long.” She said the secret to her long life was living a good life.
24. How does Eileen help strangers?
A. By chatting with them.
B. By working for them.
C.  By lending money to them.
D. By giving speeches to them.
25. What do strangers think of Eileen?
A. She is a responsible mother.
B. She is good at performing.
C. She is full of energy and wisdom.
D. She is a woman of caring for education.

A. Set up online chats.
B. Make her life simple.
C. Bring new meaning to the saying.
D. Continue to share her wisdom.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

In recent years, stressed-out urbanites have been seeking refuge in green spaces for the proven positive impacts on physical and mental health, but the benefits of “blue space” — the sea and coastline, but also rivers, lakes, canals, waterfalls, even fountains — are less well publicized, yet the science has been consistent for at least a decade: being by water is good for body and mind.
“Many of the processes are exactly the same as with green space — with some added benefits, ” says Dr Mathew White, a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter.
White says there are three established pathways by which the presence of water is positively related to health and happiness. First, there are the beneficial environmental factors, such as less polluted air and more sunlight. Second, people who live by water tend to be more physically active. Third — and this is where blue space seems to have an edge over other natural environments — water has a psychologically restorative effect. When you are sailing, surfing or swimming, says White, “you’re really in tune with natural forces there.” By being forced to concentrate on the qualities of the environment, we access a cognitive state honed over millennia. Water is, quite literally, immersive.
Catherine Kelly is a wellness practitioner who teaches classes in “mindfulness by the sea”. She says the sea has a meditative quality.
“To go to the sea is synonymous with letting go, ” says Kelly. “It could be lying on a beach or somebody handing you a cocktail. For somebody else, it could be a wild, empty coast. But there is this really human sense of: ‘Oh, look, there’s the sea’ — and the shoulders drop.”
28. Why do people go to the “blue space” for a relaxation ?
A. To seek positive effect on body and mind.
B. To have a good swim in the blue sea.
C. To consider the beneficial environmental factors.
D. To tend to be more careful and active.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The characteristics of the beneficial and friendly environmental factors.
B. The classification of being by water is good for body and mind.
C. The importance of the beneficial and friendly environmental factors.
D. The causes of being by water are good for body and mind.
30. What does the underlined word “immersive” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Being interested. B. Being forced. C. Being involved. D. Being moved.
31. What does Catherine Kelly find about “going to the sea” according to the text?
A. Trick of the lesson B. Secret of the happiness.
C. Sense of human beings D. Broadness of the sea
D
Languages will continue to diverge. Even if English were to become the universal language, it would still take many different forms. Indeed the same could happen to English as has happened to Chinese: a language of intellectuals which doesn’t vary hugely alongside a large number of variations used by local peoples.
We will continue to teach other languages in some form, and not just for reasons of practical use. Learning a language is good for your mental health; it forces you to understand another cultural and intellectual system. So I hope British education will develop a more rational approach to the foreign languages available to students in line with their political importance. Because so many people believe it is no longer important to know another language, I fear that time devoted to language teaching in schools may well continue to decline. But you can argue that learning another language well is more exhausting than, say, learning to play chess well—it involves sensitivity to a set of complicated rules, and also to context.
Technology will certainly make a difference to the use of foreign languages. Computers may, for instance, relieve the hard work that a vast translation represents. But no one who has seen a computer translation will think it can substitute for live knowledge of the different languages. A machine will always be behind the times. Still more important is the fact that no computer will ever get at the associations beyond the words associations that may not be expressed but which carry much of the meaning. In languages like Arabic that context is very important. Languages come with heavy cultural baggage too—in French or German if you miss the cultural references behind a word you’re very likely to be missing the meaning. It will be very hard to teach all that to computer.
All the predictions are that English will be spoken by a declining proportion of the world’s population in the 21st century. I don’t think foreign languages will really become less important, but they might be perceived to be— and that would in the end be — a very bad thing.
32. According to the text,we can infer that Chinese _______.
A. is a language full of cultural background
B. is narrowly used by local peoples
C. will be regarded as important as English
D. will soon become the universal language
33. Which of the following best describes the author’s opinion ?
A. Foreign languages should be taught for political importance.
B. Learning another language is just like learning to play chess well.
C. British education lacks a rational approach to the teaching of foreign languages.
D. Learning a language need to know a country’ cultural and intellectual system.
34. Why can the computer translation make a difference to the use of foreign languages?
A. It can replace for live knowledge of the different languages.
B. It can always keep the pace with the times in the translation.
C. It can reduce the hard work that a vast translation represents.
D. It can express the implied meaning beyond word associations.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Learning foreign languages is a challenging job.
B. Learning a language is good for your mental health.
C. Cultural background blocks the understanding of a language.
D. Computers play an important role in learning foreign languages.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Segway（平衡车）was invented by Dean Kamen, and was first shown to the public in 2001 by ABC’s Good Morning America program. 36 The word Segway is remarkably close to the word ” segue” which means “to move smoothly from one thing to another”
The Segway looks like a large stick with two wheels. The wheels are connected to a platform. The stick has handles for a person to hold. The person stands on the platform and holds the handles. The transporter moves forward or backward when the person moves his or her body in that direction. 37 Computers and certain devices on the Segway make the vehicle move and balance. It is powered by batteries that can be recharged. It can travel at a speed of 20 kilometers an hour.
38 Today these vehicles are used to take people on tours in parks .The Angel Island in San Francisco uses the Segway to take people around. The Segway was also used by the police at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
However, the vehicle has not found acceptance from the general public. 39 A review of the history of the Segway will show that some people are still uncomfortable about riding a two –wheeled self-balancing vehicle. Another reason is that the US has different regulations on the roads and streets where the Segway can be used. Most states recommend that a helmet be worn when riding this vehicle.
40 While its usage may be limited for now, there is still no telling what it will be used for in the coming year.
A. The history of the Segway has just begun
B. The driver turns the handles to go left or right.
C. If you have never experienced a Segway tour before, we expect you to join us .
D. Those who have ridden on the Segway say it is best used for short journeys.
E. As a result, the most popular use of the Segway is in tourism, particularly for city tours.
F. This unique invention was intended to help people travel throughout public city streets.
G. One reason is that the price is similar to other vehicles which they are more familiar with.

The high school life of three years have made me learn a lot of things. Among them teamwork is the most significantly for me. In fact, I didn’t realize its importance after I was elected monitor of my class. In the beginning, I did almost all the duties myself. However, other students cared little about class activity. As a consequence, I tired out and depressed. Then I turned to my head teacher, whom advised me to cooperate with others. Thus I began to recognize the strengths at my classmates and managed to have everyone to play a role in class.

四、 One Possible Version:
Dear peter,
Knowing that you are as enthusiastic about Chinese culture as me, I am more than delighted to purchase some books together with you. Some details regarding the plan are as follows.
To make good use of time, we will meet at the school gate at 8 o’clock next Saturday. Taking traffic factors into account, we can take the subway there, which can help us not only avoid the traffic rush hours, but also reach the destination effectively. Last but not least, I am familiar with a history teacher who has a good knowledge of Chinese culture. Time permitting, we can go to visit her if you have interest.
I would appreciate it very much if you could let me know in time whether the arrangement is suitable for you. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
