OK, here’s a plan for the house. Downstairs on the ground floor, there are four big rooms, as you can see. When you go in the front door, you’re in the hall. The dining room is on your right and the living room is on your left. You go down the hall and the second door on the left is the games room. It leads out into the garden, so it’s great in summer. Then there’s the kitchen. That’s the second door on the right, off the hall. When you go upstairs, there’s a big landing at the top of the stairs. The bathroom is on the right at the top of the stairs. There are two bedrooms on the first floor and they’re both at the front of the house. The bigger one has its own shower. The other room is a study. It’s very quiet because it’s at the back of the house.

Dear Pete,
I am glad to hear that you have finished your mid-term exams and now have time for a trip. Since you are wondering where to spend your holiday, I’d like to recommend that you travel in Sichuan Province.
Known as Heavenly Land, Sichuan is an amazing destination to visit. First of all, there are many tourist sites, including Jiuzhaigou, Emei Mountain etc. Not only can you see great natural beauty but you will experience rich culture there. Besides, its capital city, Chengdu, is famous for original Sichuan cuisine and its slow pace of life, which suits you best for relaxation after the busy study. Another real attraction is that you can see the cute giant pandas, our national treasure there!
I’m sure you will find this trip wonderful and worth your time. Any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Best wishes and enjoy your holiday!

What Famous Women in History Achieved
Amelia Ear hart, 1920s
In 1928 Ear hart was the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. She was also the 16th woman to be issued with a pilot’s license(执照). She mysteriously disappeared during a flight in 1937, and was pronounced leg ally dead two years later.
Eleanor Roosevelt, 1930s
When her husband Franklin De la no Roosevelt took office, Eleanor didn’t just stand by-she changed the role of the first lady, supporting for human rights, women’s rights, and children’s education. She went on to become chair of the UN’s Human Rights Commission in 1945.
Rose Parks, 1950s
Back in the 1950s, the rule in Montgomery, A lab a ma, was that if a bus became full, the seats at the front would be given to white passengers. Parks, a leader in the local NAACP and the civil rights movement, refused to give up her seat. Her willingness not to observe the rule helped to clue the Montgomery boycott (联合抵制) and other efforts to end segregation (种族隔离) in America.
Amy Tan, 1980s
Tan was the author of the book The Joy Luck Club, which “explored the relationship between Chinese women and their Chinese-American daughters”.

George Turner, 48, owner of Penuel Bicycles in Inglewood, California, talks with respect about his childhood BMX dirt bike. “I was mad keen on cycling.” he says. “I did whatever it took to get on that bike, as long as I was home before dark.” Home meant housework, homework and annoying brothers. But a bike meant escapes.
In 2010, George transformed his childhood love into a livelihood, and opened his bicycle shop, Penuel Bicycles. The shop fulfilled a lifelong dream. Before that, he had worked for years delivering boxes for FedEx while selling bike accessories online.
“Bicycles kept me out of trouble,” George remembers. “They were part of my life.” He figured that was still true for kids when he opened Penuel Bicycles. George expected parents to crowd inside, eager to buy shiny new bikes for their kids. He looked forward to helping boys and girls discover the joy of riding — and stay out of trouble — just as he had.
None of that happened, however.
George found that kids these days lead a different life. Usually, they don’t want a bike for their birthday. And most of them ever don’t know how to ride a bike. Instead of getting out and riding, they prefer spending their time on their phones indoors. As kids don’t ride, it is impossible that parents crowd in his shop to buy new bikes. Nine years after opening his Penuel Bicycles, George feared that he had to close the shop.
Then in 2020, the coronavirus pandemic swept the nation. Surprisingly, the pandemic saved George’s business. During the pandemic, many American people found that cycling was a good way to exercise and also a safe way to get around. The demand for new bikes kept growing and people in George’s neighborhood pulled out their old bikes and wheeled them to Penuel Bicycles to get repaired. Now he is trying his best to meet his customers’ needs and hopes that his customers can really discover the joy of riding.
14. What did the bike mean to George in his childhood
A. Taking up sports. B. Getting away from daily routine.
C. A precious birthday gift. D. A convenient vehicle.
15. What is George’s lifelong dream
A. Making a big fortune. B. Being a member of FedEx.
C. Opening his own bicycle shop. D. Helping people pursue riding pleasure.
16. Why was George’s bike business once in a tough situation
A. The lifestyle of kids changed. B. He wasn’t good at management.
C. Bikes were not as charming as before. D. His business was affected by the pandemic.
17. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Joy of Wheel B. Passion for Exercise
C. Improvement of Bike Business D. Increasing Demand for New Bikes
C
High school students perform better on tests if they are in a classroom with a view of a green space, instead of a windowless room or a room with a view of built-up space, according to research from the University of Illinois Department of Landscape Architecture.
“It is the first to show a relationship between studying with a green view and students' performance,” said William Sullivan, head of the research team. “It's a significant finding that if you have a green view outside your window, you'll do better on tests.” Sullivan hopes the results of their research will lead to policy changes. Changes in school design, for example, “would be a much better thing than any of the things we spend money on in secondary education today,” Sullivan said.
The research included 94 students at five central Illinois high schools. Students were put in three kinds of classrooms — windowless, with a window looking out onto built-up space, or with a window looking out onto green space. Each kind of classroom had a similar size and layout. The students took part in one-on-one experiments in which they did 30 minutes of activities that included a proofreading exercise, a speech and a math exercise. Following the activities, the students were given an attention test which asked them to repeat some numbers.
The findings: Students did better on both study activities and the attention test if they were in a classroom with a green view, Sullivan said.
The researchers suggest their findings can help planners and policymakers improve students' well-being and learning. For example, planners can choose places for new schools that already have trees and other vegetation, or they can plant many trees in this place; architects can design classroom, dining room and hallway windows so they look onto green spaces.
18. What did the study find out about high school students
A. They like to have green plants in their classrooms.
B. They will get better grades when studying in different classrooms.
C. Changes in school design will influence their attitudes towards teachers.
D. A green view through a classroom window can improve their performance.
19. What does the underlined word “significant” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Traditional. B. Important. C. Necessary. D. Early.
20. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How the study was carried out. B. Why the study was different.
C. The purpose of the study. D. The result of the study.
21. What do the researchers think of the study
A. It has drawn public attention to education.
B. It can play a guiding role in school planning.
C. It has encouraged students to get close to nature.
D. It needs more support from high school teachers.
D
Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilometer area. Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can cause very deadly results. European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.
The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity (湿度) and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
The researchers test-ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.
The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferring lightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.
22. Why was the system developed
A. To keep track of lightning deaths.
B. To meet people’s curiosity about lightning.
C. To protect people from lightning strikes.
D. To take advantage of the energy of lightning.
23. What is special about the system
A. It involves the use of a machine learning algorithm.
B. It collects data samples from around the world.
C. It was test-run several times before being put into use.
D. Its success owes greatly to a European effort. (

)
24. What will the researchers do in the next stage
A. Prevent the formation of lightning. B. Raise the accuracy of lightning prediction.
C. Inspire the study of a laser technology. D. Get lightning striking under control.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A system of Controlling Lightning B. A Theory of Employing Lightning
C. A Method of Forecasting Lightning D. A Model of Creating Lightning
