First, just a few words about safety. The coach is equipped with safety belts. In Britain, it's required to fasten the safety belt. And for the comfort of others, we ask there should be no food on the coach. Now two arrangements today. We'll first visit Stonehenge, a world famous site. The journey takes about 2 hours, depending on traffic. You will have about one hour to explore the area and your tour manager will advise you what time to be back on the coach to go on to Bath. It's a beautiful city, which stands on the river Avon among the hills of the England western country. After you get there, the coach will drop you in the city center. The tour manager will walk you into the well-known Roman Baths, built by the Romans in the third century AD. 15:30 is the departure time from Bath for your return journey back to London. Hope you enjoy your trip!

Whenever a new person walks through the gates of the Science of Spirituality Meditation (冥想) and Ecology Centre in Richmond, one often hears the words, “I never knew such a place existed. It’s so peaceful and the gardens are so beautiful.”
In 2005, this centre was an old school, with a history going back to 1904. Rabbits had damaged the foundations (地基) and rats ran along littered hallways. The traffic roaring along Steveston Highway was hardly beneficial to meditation, and fresh air! Neither did we have sufficient funds at the time to carry out a purchase. But there was hope, wild hope! We had a vision. We could make it a reality.
Our group was inspired to take this step under the loving guidance of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, a living Master in an ancient family of spiritual experts. Despite the small size of our local charity, we took chances to purchase this place that spoke to us at some very deep level. Generous donations and effort flowed in from members at exactly the right time. Thus, we could begin the physical origins of the SOS Meditation and Ecology Centre.
And to create it took a great deal of sweat efforts. Gardens were dug and planted by volunteers. Brothers and sisters worked together. Over the following years, beautiful gardens were established and every inch of the old building and roof took on a new look.
From a wishful dream and a loving handful, this special place, with its green gardens, became a reality. The Centre has become a sign of light and love in a materialistic society, where seekers find peace, joy, help in meditation, friendship and an opportunity to grow spiritually.
24．What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．The founders intended to give up the center at the beginning.
B．The founders had sufficient funds to carry out the project.
C．The centre was not originally suited for meditation.
D．The centre was a school with good environment.
25．How was the centre founded?
A．With the help of the old school.
B．With the contributions of generous people.
C．With the funds donated by a spiritual expert.
D．With the local government’s financial support.
26．Which word can best describe the members?
A．Rude. B．Distant. C．Conventional. D．Selfless.
27．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To introduce an old school to readers.
B．To tell the story about the construction of the centre.
C．To call for people to meditate.
D．To explain the influence of meditation on average people.

As a short-distance track and field runner at high school and college, I often found myself wondering which of the eight or sometimes nine lanes (跑道) on the track was the fastest. It was conventional wisdom that the middle lanes — lanes three through six — were the best.
This idea, in a way, is baked into the rules of track and field. In events with multiple heats — from the college level all the way to the Olympics — the people who run faster times in earlier heats are assigned to middle lanes in later heats. In other words, the fastest runners are rewarded with what are, supposedly, better lane assignment (分配).
Using 20 years of track and field data from the International Association of Athletics Federations, I found that the long-held beliefs about lane advantages are not supported by the data. And in fact, for the 200-meter sprint (冲刺), the evidence suggests that lanes often regarded as the least desirable are actually the fastest.
In most races, the fastest runners are assigned to the middle lanes according to the competition rules. Not surprisingly, the fastest runners — who are in the middle lanes — often win. Are these racers winning because those lanes are the fastest or because those runners tend to be the fastest?
Next time you're watching any of the shorter track and field events in the Olympics, listen and see if anyone repeats the old adage that the middle lanes are the fastest. The data shows this isn't true, so if someone in the outside lanes takes a surprise gold, you'll know it is not because of their lane assignment, but because they were a slow qualifier (入围者).
28．What was the traditional belief in the track and field lanes?
A．All lanes were the same.
B．The inner lanes were the best.
C．The middle lanes were the best.
D．The outside lanes were the best.
29．How did the author get his finding?
A．By referring to long term data.
B．By using other research results.
C．By watching the latest sprinters' competition.
D．By experimenting which lane was the fastest.
30．What does the underlined word “adage” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A．Saying. B．Style.
C．Package. D．Stage.
31．Which of the following does the author approve of?
A．Losing racers tend to be in the slowest lane.
B．Winning racers tend to be in the fastest lane.
C．Winning racers often run fastest.
D．Racers win because their lanes are the fastest.

31．
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In other words, the fastest runners are rewarded with what are, supposedly, better lane assignment (分配).(换句话说，跑得最快的人会得到更好的跑道分配作为奖励)”及第四段中的“Not surprisingly, the fastest runners — who are in the middle lanes — often win.(毫不奇怪，跑得最快的人——在中间的人——往往会获胜)”可推知，作者认为获奖选手是那些经常跑得最快的人。故选C。
Off the coast of Formentera, an island, lives seagrass that stretches 15 kilometres. The seagrass, covering several hectares, is made up of a single organism. The grasses are also long-lived, for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Along with two other kinds of coastal ecosystems—mangrove swamps（红树沼泽）and tidal marshes, seagrass meadows are particularly good at taking carbon dioxide from the air.
This role was highlighted in a report, which was published on March 2nd by UNESCO, on blue carbon—the carbon taken in by Earth's oceanic and coastal ecosystems. In total around 33 billion tons of carbon dioxide, about three-quarters of the world's emissions（排放）in 2019, are locked away in the planet's blue carbon sinks（碳汇）. Research by Carlos Duarte, the report's author and a marine ecologist, has shown that one hectare of seagrass can suck as much carbon dioxide each year as 15 hectares of rainforest.
One reason that blue—carbon ecosystems make such effective sinks is that underwater forests are thicker than the land-based woods. They can also trap floating pieces and organic matter, which settles on the sea floor and can double the amount of carbon stored away. They have another advantage, too. Climate change is leading to more wildfires around the world. As forests burn, their carbon stocks are released back into the atmosphere. Unlike forests on land, blue-carbon ecosystems do not burn.
Blue-carbon ecosystems may not be fired, but they remain affected to other sorts of disasters. In May 2020 hurricane Amphan destroyed 1,200 square kilometres of mangrove forest. A marine（海洋的）heatwave in Australian waters in 2010 and 2011 damaged around one third of the world's largest seagrass meadow in Shark Bay. “Mangrove forests can weaken or control waves and provide natural barriers to storm surges. Protecting and expanding them, then, appears to be a must,” said a marine biologist.
32．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The real definition of blue carbon.
B．The special features of the seagrass.
C．The doubt about the blue-carbon ecosystems.
D．The capacity of the blue-carbon ecosystems to store carbon.
33．Why can the blue-carbon ecosystems make such effective sinks?
A．They aren't influenced by natural disasters.
B．They have great ability to absorb carbon.
C．Their carbon stocks are released back.
D．There are more underwater animals.
34．What do the marine biologist's words mean?
A．Mangrove forests are too strong to be broken.
B．Mangrove forests can strengthen waves.
C．Humans should preserve blue-carbon ecosystems.
D．Blue carbon ecosystems can be fired.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Plants in the Ocean Are Better at Storing Carbon
B．The Grasses Can Store More Carbon Than Your Expectation
C．Mangrove Forests Can Control Waves Efficiently
D．Blue-Carbon Ecosystem Are Expanding Much Faster
【答案】
32．D
33．B
34．C
35．A

( 3月2日，联合国教科文组织发表了一份关于“蓝色碳”（地球海洋和沿海生态系统储存的碳）的报告，强调了这种作用。总共约33亿吨二氧化碳（约占2019年全球排放量的四分之三）被锁在地球的蓝色碳汇中。 该报告的作者兼生态学家Carlos Duarte的研究表明，一公顷海草每年吸收的二氧化碳相当于15公顷雨林。)”可知，第二段主要讲了蓝色碳生态系统储存碳的能力。故选D项。
33．
细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“One reason that blue-carbon ecosystems make such effective sinks is that underwater forests are thicker than the land-based woods. They can also trap floating pieces and organic matter, which settles on the sea floor and can double the amount of carbon stored away.(蓝碳生态系统产生如此有效的碳汇的一个原因是水下森林比陆地森林更厚。它们还能捕获漂浮在海底的碎片和有机物，从而使碳的储存量增加一倍)”可知，蓝碳生态系统能产生如此有效的碳汇因为它们吸收碳的能力很强。故选B项。
34．
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句话““Mangrove forests can weaken or control waves and provide natural barriers to storm surges. Protecting and expanding them, then, appears to be a must,” said a marine biologist.（“红树林可以削弱或控制海浪，并为风暴潮提供天然屏障。因此，保护和扩大它们似乎是必须的，”一位海洋生物学家说。）”可知，人类应该保护蓝碳生态系统。故选C项。
35．
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容“Off the coast of Formentera, an island, lives seagrass that stretches 15 kilometres. The seagrass, covering several hectares, is made up of a single organism.

In fact, when you give, you'll often 53 that even more is given back to you.

At noon that day, I drove back home early. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a slight sound coming from the bedroom upstairs. It was the sound of my favorite violin. But I was the only person who lived in this house.
It must be a thief! I rushed upstairs. Just as what I had thought about, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. At first sight, I found a new pair of shoes at the bed missing. It seemed he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and helplessness. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, “Are you Mr Brian's nephew Rubens? I'm his housekeeper. Two days ago, Mr Brian said that he has a nephew who lives in the countryside would visit him. It must be you. You are really like him!”
The boy was surprised, but then quickly replied, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I'd better first go out for a walk and visit him in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you want to play the violin?”
“Yes. I am fond of playing the violin and I'm looking forward to having my own violin, but I'm so poor that I can't afford one,” the boy replied.
“Then, I'll give this violin to you because your uncle, Mr Brian, is so kind a man.” The boy looked at me doubtfully, but he picked up the violin. Going out of the living room, he suddenly saw my huge color photo on the wall. He shook for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy must understand what had happened after seeing the photo on the wall.

Finally, he won first prize because of his excellent performance!
After the award ceremony, he ran to me holding a violin box. With his face red, he asked, “Mr Brian, do you still remember me? You gave me your violin, which I have been treasuring until today! You can't imagine how much what you did that noon means to me! Today, I can give it back to you without regret…” Believe it or not, it turned out that this boy was “Mr Brian's nephew Rubens”! Tears welled up in my eyes.

In 2005, this centre was an old school, with a history going back to 1904. Rabbits had damaged the foundations (地基) and rats ran along littered hallways. The traffic roaring along Steveston Highway was hardly beneficial to meditation, and fresh air! Neither did we have sufficient funds at the time to carry out a purchase. But there was hope, wild hope! We had a vision. We could make it a reality.
Our group was inspired to take this step under the loving guidance of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, a living Master in an ancient family of spiritual experts. Despite the small size of our local charity, we took chances to purchase this place that spoke to us at some very deep level. Generous donations and effort flowed in from members at exactly the right time. Thus, we could begin the physical origins of the SOS Meditation and Ecology Centre.
And to create it took a great deal of sweat efforts. Gardens were dug and planted by volunteers. Brothers and sisters worked together. Over the following years, beautiful gardens were established and every inch of the old building and roof took on a new look.
From a wishful dream and a loving handful, this special place, with its green gardens, became a reality. The Centre has become a sign of light and love in a materialistic society, where seekers find peace, joy, help in meditation, friendship and an opportunity to grow spiritually.
24．What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．The founders intended to give up the center at the beginning.
B．The founders had sufficient funds to carry out the project.
C．The centre was not originally suited for meditation.
D．The centre was a school with good environment.
25．How was the centre founded?
A．With the help of the old school.
B．With the contributions of generous people.
C．With the funds donated by a spiritual expert.
D．With the local government’s financial support.
26．Which word can best describe the members?
A．Rude. B．Distant. C．Conventional. D．Selfless.
27．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To introduce an old school to readers.
B．To tell the story about the construction of the centre.
C．To call for people to meditate.
D．To explain the influence of meditation on average people.

As a short-distance track and field runner at high school and college, I often found myself wondering which of the eight or sometimes nine lanes (跑道) on the track was the fastest. It was conventional wisdom that the middle lanes — lanes three through six — were the best.
This idea, in a way, is baked into the rules of track and field. In events with multiple heats — from the college level all the way to the Olympics — the people who run faster times in earlier heats are assigned to middle lanes in later heats. In other words, the fastest runners are rewarded with what are, supposedly, better lane assignment (分配).
Using 20 years of track and field data from the International Association of Athletics Federations, I found that the long-held beliefs about lane advantages are not supported by the data. And in fact, for the 200-meter sprint (冲刺), the evidence suggests that lanes often regarded as the least desirable are actually the fastest.
In most races, the fastest runners are assigned to the middle lanes according to the competition rules. Not surprisingly, the fastest runners — who are in the middle lanes — often win. Are these racers winning because those lanes are the fastest or because those runners tend to be the fastest?
Next time you're watching any of the shorter track and field events in the Olympics, listen and see if anyone repeats the old adage that the middle lanes are the fastest. The data shows this isn't true, so if someone in the outside lanes takes a surprise gold, you'll know it is not because of their lane assignment, but because they were a slow qualifier (入围者).
28．What was the traditional belief in the track and field lanes?
A．All lanes were the same.
B．The inner lanes were the best.
C．The middle lanes were the best.
D．The outside lanes were the best.
29．How did the author get his finding?
A．By referring to long term data.
B．By using other research results.
C．By watching the latest sprinters' competition.
D．By experimenting which lane was the fastest.
30．What does the underlined word “adage” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A．Saying. B．Style.
C．Package. D．Stage.
31．Which of the following does the author approve of?
A．Losing racers tend to be in the slowest lane.
B．Winning racers tend to be in the fastest lane.
C．Winning racers often run fastest.
D．Racers win because their lanes are the fastest.

Off the coast of Formentera, an island, lives seagrass that stretches 15 kilometres. The seagrass, covering several hectares, is made up of a single organism. The grasses are also long-lived, for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Along with two other kinds of coastal ecosystems—mangrove swamps（红树沼泽）and tidal marshes, seagrass meadows are particularly good at taking carbon dioxide from the air.
This role was highlighted in a report, which was published on March 2nd by UNESCO, on blue carbon—the carbon taken in by Earth's oceanic and coastal ecosystems. In total around 33 billion tons of carbon dioxide, about three-quarters of the world's emissions（排放）in 2019, are locked away in the planet's blue carbon sinks（碳汇）. Research by Carlos Duarte, the report's author and a marine ecologist, has shown that one hectare of seagrass can suck as much carbon dioxide each year as 15 hectares of rainforest.
One reason that blue—carbon ecosystems make such effective sinks is that underwater forests are thicker than the land-based woods. They can also trap floating pieces and organic matter, which settles on the sea floor and can double the amount of carbon stored away. They have another advantage, too. Climate change is leading to more wildfires around the world. As forests burn, their carbon stocks are released back into the atmosphere. Unlike forests on land, blue-carbon ecosystems do not burn.
Blue-carbon ecosystems may not be fired, but they remain affected to other sorts of disasters. In May 2020 hurricane Amphan destroyed 1,200 square kilometres of mangrove forest. A marine（海洋的）heatwave in Australian waters in 2010 and 2011 damaged around one third of the world's largest seagrass meadow in Shark Bay. “Mangrove forests can weaken or control waves and provide natural barriers to storm surges. Protecting and expanding them, then, appears to be a must,” said a marine biologist.
32．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The real definition of blue carbon.
B．The special features of the seagrass.
C．The doubt about the blue-carbon ecosystems.
D．The capacity of the blue-carbon ecosystems to store carbon.
33．Why can the blue-carbon ecosystems make such effective sinks?
A．They aren't influenced by natural disasters.
B．They have great ability to absorb carbon.
C．Their carbon stocks are released back.
D．There are more underwater animals.
34．What do the marine biologist's words mean?
A．Mangrove forests are too strong to be broken.
B．Mangrove forests can strengthen waves.
C．Humans should preserve blue-carbon ecosystems.
D．Blue carbon ecosystems can be fired.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Plants in the Ocean Are Better at Storing Carbon
B．The Grasses Can Store More Carbon Than Your Expectation
C．Mangrove Forests Can Control Waves Efficiently
D．Blue-Carbon Ecosystem Are Expanding Much Faster

【答案】参考范文：
Dear Alice,
I am worried to know that you should be so addicted to TikTok these days. Playing with your smartphone too much is bad for your health. Besides, if you spend so much time in looking through TikTok, I'm afraid you will fall behind your classmates sooner or later.
In my opinion, you should find something interesting to do if you want to relax. For example, take a walk on the playground with your friends. Alternatively, you can chat with your classmates, which will cheer you up.
I know you have a strong will and you are clever. I believe you can get rid of this bad habit quite soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

九、读后续写
67．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。
At noon that day, I drove back home early. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a slight sound coming from the bedroom upstairs. It was the sound of my favorite violin. But I was the only person who lived in this house.
It must be a thief! I rushed upstairs. Just as what I had thought about, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. At first sight, I found a new pair of shoes at the bed missing. It seemed he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and helplessness. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, “Are you Mr Brian's nephew Rubens? I'm his housekeeper. Two days ago, Mr Brian said that he has a nephew who lives in the countryside would visit him. It must be you. You are really like him!”
The boy was surprised, but then quickly replied, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I'd better first go out for a walk and visit him in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you want to play the violin?”
“Yes. I am fond of playing the violin and I'm looking forward to having my own violin, but I'm so poor that I can't afford one,” the boy replied.
“Then, I'll give this violin to you because your uncle, Mr Brian, is so kind a man.” The boy looked at me doubtfully, but he picked up the violin. Going out of the living room, he suddenly saw my huge color photo on the wall. He shook for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy must understand what had happened after seeing the photo on the wall.

After the award ceremony, he ran to me holding a violin box.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
I thought the story would end forever if I didn't happen to meet him a few years later. I was invited to judge a music competition. During the competition, a boy violin player drew my attention. From time to time, he also had a look in my direction with a strange smile on his face. I was sure I must have met him before, but I failed to think of where and when we had met at the very moment. Finally, he won first prize because of his excellent performance!
After the award ceremony, he ran to me holding a violin box. With his face red, he asked, “Mr Brian, do you still remember me? You gave me your violin, which I have been treasuring until today! You can't imagine how much what you did that noon means to me! Today, I can give it back to you without regret…” Believe it or not, it turned out that this boy was “Mr Brian's nephew Rubens”! Tears welled up in my eyes.
【分析】
本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者是一位小提琴家，中午返回家中的时候，听到了楼上的声音，认为可能是小偷，当他看到一个小男孩正在拉小提琴的时候以及恐惧和绝望的表情的时候，作者并没有揭穿那个小男孩小偷的身份，而是撒了个谎并且把小提琴赠予小男孩，这样善意的谎言改变了小男孩，多年以后，再次相见的时候，小男孩已经成为一个优秀的小提琴表演者。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我以为如果几年后我没有碰巧遇见他，这个故事就永远结束了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和上文的小男孩再次相遇，而这时候的小男孩已经变得非常优秀。
②由第二段首句内容“颁奖典礼结束后，他拿着小提琴盒向我跑来。”可知，第二段可描写小男孩认出来了作者，并上前交谈。
2.续写线索：被邀当评委——小提琴手引起注意——回想——小男孩得奖——作者与小男孩相认——感激
3.词汇激活
行为类
①引起注意：draw one’s attention/attract one’s attention/catch one’s eyes
②遇见：meet/encounter
情绪类
①微笑：smile/beam
②极好的：excellent /wonderful
【点睛】
[高分句型1] I was sure I must have met him before, but I failed to think of where and when we had met at the very moment.（运用了省略引导词that的宾语从句，运用了where和when引导的宾语从句）
[高分句型2] You gave me your violin, which I have been treasuring until today!（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句）
