JOURNEY BY STEAM THROUGH THE SCOTCH HIGHLANDS
Enjoy Scotland’s magnificent scenery as you travel on the famous Jacobite steam train.
Steam locomotion (动力) has long been one of the most elegant and memorable ways to travel, and when mixed with the magnificent scenery of the Scottish Highlands it makes for a trip of a lifetime. On this wonderful four-day holiday you will ride on the famous Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig, a 42-mile journey through spectacular scenery.
Your trip starts near Ben Nevis Britain’s highest mountain, passes Loch Morar, its deepest freshwater loch, and the River Morar and then finally arrives beside the deepest seawater loch in Europe-Loch Nevis. Robert McAlpine’s 21-arch Glenfinnan Viaduct, featured in the Harry Potter films, is just one of the engineering wonders you’ll see on the journey, which is made all the more enjoyable by the sound and fury of the steam train forging its way along the Iron Road to the Isles.

Teenagers who spend more time on after-school activities and less than two hours of screen time after school are more mentally (心理上) healthy, according to a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine. The new study was carried out by researchers from the University of British Columbia.
The study used information collected from more than 28, 000 seventh-grade Canadian students between 2014 and 2018. The students first answered questions about their usage of screen time after school, including how much time they spent watching TV, Netflix or something else. Then, students reported how many days they had taken part in after-school activities such as sports or arts programmes. After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind. For example, when given a statement such as “I start most days thinking that I will have a good day”, they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale (等级).
Some of the results were expected, researchers said in the study. Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators (消极指标) of mental health, as earlier research had found that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety (焦虑) compared to boys.
What was noteworthy, researchers say, is that even among students who took part in after-school activities, 46% still went beyond the recommended screen time of two hours. At the same time, 67% of students who didn’t take part in after-school activities also had more than two hours of screen time. Together, this suggests high screen time among teenagers generally.
“The findings suggest that after-school activities are valuable for the happy growing of teenagers,” the study said. “While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic (学业的) development, the present study shows their importance for good mental health results.”
24. Which of the following came last when students took part in the new study
A. Talking about their lifestyles. B. Introducing their after-school activities.
C. Reporting their mental states on a scale. D. Answering questions about screen time use.
25. What do the researchers find about teenage girls
A. They often have higher levels of satisfaction.
B. Few of them take part in after-school activities.
C. Anxiety has become a serious problem among them.
D. Too much screen time may be more harmful to them.
26. What does the author want to show by using the numbers in paragraph 4
A. Earlier findings about screen time are wrong.
B. High screen time is common among teenagers.
C. No after-school activities mean no screen time.
D. Screens attract teenagers more than after-school activities do.
27. Why are after-school activities so important according to the new study
A. They are good for teenagers’ physical health.
B. They help to improve teenagers’ mental health.
C. They encourage teenagers’ social development.
D. They allow teenagers to become better learners.
C
“I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless,” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What’s wrong with me ”
Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character experience loneliness at least sometimes. It’s healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. We all need others in our lives.
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we’ve got to get beyond this.
If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider the following two.
Be willing to take the initiative (主动权). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don’t wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a non-aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.
Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”. For example, don’t ask “Do you have a dog ” Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets.” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one-word answer.
28. Why does the author begin the text with Lisa’s worry
A. To set a sad tone. B. To share Lisa’s pain.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To teach readers a lesson.
29. What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage
A. Being refused by others. B. Putting ourselves in danger.
C. Being treated in a rude way. D. Losing interest in communicating.
30. What can we know from Paragraph 5
A. Shy people are hard to talk to. B. Popular people are often easy-going.
C. Just waiting for chances will waste our time. D. A proper way is important in making friends.
31. Why does the author suggest not asking “yes” or “no” questions
A. It is considered unfriendly. B. It will leave a bad first impression.
C. It shows the poor quality of the speaker. D. It isn’t good for keeping a conversation going.
D
Thanks to its cold environment, Antarctica (南极洲) remained largely untouched by humans for thousands of years. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for tourists. Now, a new study shows that the visitors may be bringing harmful bacteria which could devastate the area’s native bird population.
Researchers believed that the Antarctic creatures were not affected by the danger due to the continent’s extreme weather. However, microbiologist Martà Cerdà-Cuéllar didn’t believe this was true. She and some colleagues decided to examine samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. If they missed catching a skua at first go, the bird never came close again.
It took the scientists four years, from 2008 to 2011, to collect fecal (粪便) samples of 666 adult birds from 24 local species. The results of their study showed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste.
“While we should do as much as possible to reduce transmission , it’s hard to believe that we can stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won’t continue to transmit pathogens (病原体),” said Kyle Elliott.
Experts, including González-Solís, believe the only way to prevent the destruction of the birds, is to introduce stricter regulations or, at least, obey the ones already in place. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty states clearly visitors carry their waste back home to protect the original environment, the regulation is rarely obeyed. Hopefully, officials will take steps to protect the easily injured birds as soon as possible.
32. What does the underlined word “devastate” in Para. 1 mean
A. Increase. B. Reduce. C. Affect. D. Promote.
33. What can be said about scientists finding the waste from the birds
A. This was not an easy task. B. This proved their conclusion.
C. Their tempers contributed a lot. D. They found polluted human bacteria.
34. How does Kyle Elliott feel when mentioning reducing tourism
A. Hopeful. B. Difficult. C. Possible. D. Delighted.
35. What’s author’s suggestions to protect Antarctic birds
A. Make new strict rules. B. Take measures as soon as possible.
C. Quit the Antarctic Treaty D. Encourage officials to strengthen cooperation.

Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not.____36____

Warm up.
____37____ Doing some stretches (伸展) can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Practicing a sport helps keep you safe, too.
Know the rules of the games.
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between many cars that run on the road together.

____39____
This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may want to get back in the games, even after an injury. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea.____40____
Now you know how to prevent sports injuries. If you follow these rules, you can stay safer while you are playing sports.

【原文】W: Gardens come in all shapes and sizes. When planning a garden, the most important thing is to grow what you love. This way, you’ll be sure to enjoy the process. Once you decide what type of garden you’d like to start, you’ll need to plan a few things before getting to work. Firstly, figure out where your garden will be. Find a location that is fairly flat and has good access to sunlight. Secondly, pick the right soil. This is important for an efficient garden. An expert at a gardening store can advise you on the best soil for your needs. Thirdly, after you have the correct soil, choose your plants. Will you start with seeds or young plants Growing from seeds is often less expensive. And it’s more satisfying because you get to watch the growth from seed to plant. But growing from young plants is easier. There’s a better chance your plant will grow big enough. You’re finally ready to plant your garden. I suggest planting right before the growing season so that the plants can adapt to the soil.

JOURNEY BY STEAM THROUGH THE SCOTCH HIGHLANDS
Enjoy Scotland’s magnificent scenery as you travel on the famous Jacobite steam train.
Steam locomotion (动力) has long been one of the most elegant and memorable ways to travel, and when mixed with the magnificent scenery of the Scottish Highlands it makes for a trip of a lifetime. On this wonderful four-day holiday you will ride on the famous Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig, a 42-mile journey through spectacular scenery.
Your trip starts near Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain, passes Loch Morar, its deepest freshwater loch, and the River Morar and then finally arrives beside the deepest seawater loch in Europe-Loch Nevis. Robert McAlpine’s 21-arch Glenfinnan Viaduct, featured in the Harry Potter films, is just one of the engineering wonders you’ll see on the journey, which is made all the more enjoyable by the sound and fury of the steam train forging its way along the Iron Road to the Isles.

Teenagers who spend more time on after-school activities and less than two hours of screen time after school are more mentally (心理上) healthy, according to a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine. The new study was carried out by researchers from the University of British Columbia.
The study used information collected from more than 28, 000 seventh-grade Canadian students between 2014 and 2018. The students first answered questions about their usage of screen time after school, including how much time they spent watching TV, Netflix or something else. Then, students reported how many days they had taken part in after-school activities such as sports or arts programmes. After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind. For example, when given a statement such as “I start most days thinking that I will have a good day”, they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale (等级).
Some of the results were expected, researchers said in the study. Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators (消极指标) of mental health, as earlier research had found that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety (焦虑) compared to boys.
What was noteworthy, researchers say, is that even among students who took part in after-school activities, 46% still went beyond the recommended screen time of two hours. At the same time, 67% of students who didn’t take part in after-school activities also had more than two hours of screen time. Together, this suggests high screen time among teenagers generally.
“The findings suggest that after-school activities are valuable for the happy growing of teenagers,” the study said. “While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic (学业的) development, the present study shows their importance for good mental health results.”
24. Which of the following came last when students took part in the new study
A. Talking about their lifestyles. B. Introducing their after-school activities.
C. Reporting their mental states on a scale. D. Answering questions about screen time use.
25. What do the researchers find about teenage girls
A. They often have higher levels of satisfaction.
B. Few of them take part in after-school activities.
C. Anxiety has become a serious problem among them.
D. Too much screen time may be more harmful to them.
26. What does the author want to show by using the numbers in paragraph 4
A. Earlier findings about screen time are wrong.
B. High screen time is common among teenagers.
C. No after-school activities mean no screen time.
D. Screens attract teenagers more than after-school activities do.
27. Why are after-school activities so important according to the new study
A. They are good for teenagers’ physical health.
B. They help to improve teenagers’ mental health.
C. They encourage teenagers’ social development.
D. They allow teenagers to become better learners.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述一项研究结果：放学后花更多的时间在课外活动上并且在看电视上的时间少于2个小时的学生的心理更加健康。
24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind.(在那之后，研究者们要求学生们描述他们的心理状态。)”可知，学生们描述心理状态是最后一步。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators (指标) of mental health, as previous research had discovered that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety compared to boys.(比如，没有课后活动的学生们经常会有更长的时间面对屏幕。并且他们预料到女孩子们在心理健康的消极指标上得分更高，正如以前的研究发现的那样，相对比男孩来说，她们趋向于更加的焦虑。)”可知，长时间面对屏幕对女孩子们的心理健康有很大的影响。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Together, this indicates high screen time among teenagers generally.(总之，长时间面对屏幕在青少年之间是很常见的。)”可知，在第四段作者用那些数字是为了表明长时间面对电视屏幕的情况在青少年之间是很常见的。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic development, the present study highlights their importance for good mental health results.(尽管以前的研究已经证明课后活动对社会和学术的发展的重要性，而现在的研究强调了它们对于好的心理健康结果的重要性。)”可知，新的研究表明，课后活动对提高青少年的心理健康很重要。故选B。
C
“I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless,” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What’s wrong with me ”
Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character experience loneliness at least sometimes. It’s healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. We all need others in our lives.
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we’ve got to get beyond this.
If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider the following two.
Be willing to take the initiative (主动权). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don’t wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a non-aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.
Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”. For example, don’t ask “Do you have a dog ” Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets.” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one-word answer.
28. Why does the author begin the text with Lisa’s worry
A. To set a sad tone. B. To share Lisa’s pain.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To teach readers a lesson.
29. What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage
A. Being refused by others. B. Putting ourselves in danger.
C. Being treated in a rude way. D. Losing interest in communicating.
30. What can we know from Paragraph 5
A. Shy people are hard to talk to. B. Popular people are often easy-going.
C. Just waiting for chances will waste our time. D. A proper way is important in making friends.
31. Why does the author suggest not asking “yes” or “no” questions
A. It is considered unfriendly. B. It will leave a bad first impression.
C. It shows the poor quality of the speaker. D. It isn’t good for keeping a conversation going.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了交友的重要性和策略。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“‘I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless,’ said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. ‘It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What’s wrong with me ’(“我觉得自己不讨人喜欢、孤独、绝望，”丽莎说，她是一个聪明的少女，来自一个充满爱的家庭。“似乎没有人想成为我的朋友。我怎么了 ”)”描述了丽莎对交友的担忧：没有人想和她成为朋友。第二段中“Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character experience loneliness at least sometimes.(像丽莎一样，我们中的许多人都经历过孤独。事实是，所有的人，无论他们的年龄或性格如何，至少有时会经历孤独。)”从丽莎谈到所有人，进而引出本文的话题：如何交到朋友。所以作者以丽莎的担忧作为文章的开头是为了引出文章话题。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others.(但它也有风险。因为我们经常害怕被拒绝，我们中的许多人都不愿意与他人接触。)”可知，主动与他人接触可能会遇到被别人拒绝风险。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Let her know in a non-aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.(以一种无攻击性的方式让她知道你有兴趣和她做朋友)”可知，正确的交友方式很重要。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Avoiding asking ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one-word answer.(避免问“是”或“否”的问题会让你的潜在朋友不会以一个词的答案结束你的交流。)”可推知，作者建议不要问“是”或“否”的问题，因为这种问题不利于保持谈话的进行。故选D项。
D
Thanks to its cold environment, Antarctica (南极洲) remained largely untouched by humans for thousands of years. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for tourists. Now, a new study shows that the visitors may be bringing harmful bacteria which could devastate the area’s native bird population.
Researchers believed that the Antarctic creatures were not affected by the danger due to the continent’s extreme weather. However, microbiologist Martà Cerdà-Cuéllar didn’t believe this was true. She and some colleagues decided to examine samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. If they missed catching a skua at first go, the bird never came close again.
It took the scientists four years, from 2008 to 2011, to collect fecal (粪便) samples of 666 adult birds from 24 local species. The results of their study showed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste.
“While we should do as much as possible to reduce transmission , it’s hard to believe that we can stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won’t continue to transmit pathogens (病原体),” said Kyle Elliott.
Experts, including González-Solís, believe the only way to prevent the destruction of the birds, is to introduce stricter regulations or, at least, obey the ones already in place. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty states clearly visitors carry their waste back home to protect the original environment, the regulation is rarely obeyed. Hopefully, officials will take steps to protect the easily injured birds as soon as possible.
32. What does the underlined word “devastate” in Para. 1 mean
A. Increase. B. Reduce. C. Affect. D. Promote.
33. What can be said about scientists finding the waste from the birds
A. This was not an easy task. B. This proved their conclusion.
C. Their tempers contributed a lot. D. They found polluted human bacteria.
34. How does Kyle Elliott feel when mentioning reducing tourism
A. Hopeful. B. Difficult. C. Possible. D. Delighted.
35. What’s author’s suggestions to protect Antarctic birds
A. Make new strict rules. B. Take measures as soon as possible.
C. Quit the Antarctic Treaty D. Encourage officials to strengthen cooperation.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章讲述了由于南极洲未受人类干扰而成为最后一片真正的荒野地区，但自1990年以来，越来越多的游客开始前往南极洲旅游。然而，一项新研究表明，游客可能会带来有害细菌，从而影响南极洲的本土鸟类种群。专家认为，唯一的防止鸟类破坏的办法是制定更严格的规定或遵守已有的规定，并且希望官员能够尽快采取措施保护易受伤的鸟类。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段上文“Now, a new study shows that the visitors may be bringing harmful bacteria(现在，一项新的研究表明，游客可能携带有害细菌)”以及下文“the area’s native bird population(该地区的本地鸟类种群)”可推理出第一段划线词的含义为“减少”，故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. If they missed catching a skua at first go, the bird never came close again.(为了确保废物不被污染，科学家们不得不从鸟类身上收集排泄物。这不是一件容易的事。如果他们一开始就没抓到贼鸥，那这只鸟就再也不会靠近了。)”可知，关于科学家从鸟类的身上手机排泄物这不是一件容易的事，因为如果科学家们一开始就没抓到贼鸥，那这只鸟就再也不会靠近了，故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““While we should do as much as possible to reduce transmission(传播), it’s hard to believe that we can stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won’t continue to transmit pathogens (病原体),” said Kyle Elliott.( 凯尔·艾略特说：“虽然我们应该尽最大努力减少传播，但很难相信我们能阻止这些地方的旅游和科学活动，因此很难相信人类不会继续传播病原体。”)”可知，凯尔·艾略特认为很难去阻止这些地方的旅游和科学活动，所以，凯尔·艾略特会觉得减少旅游活动很难，故选B项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Hopefully, officials will take steps to protect the easily injured birds as soon as possible.(希望官员们能尽快采取措施保护这些容易受伤的鸟类。)”可知，作者建议官员们或者官方应该尽快采取措施保护这些容易受伤的鸟类，故选B项。

Warm up.
____37____ Doing some stretches (伸展) can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Practicing a sport helps keep you safe, too.
Know the rules of the games.
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between many cars that run on the road together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them—at least most of the time.____38____ When players know the rules of the game, fewer injuries happen. For example, you know that in soccer you can’t come from behind, crash into a player’s legs, or steal the ball. It’s legal and safer to go after the ball rather than the player.
____39____
This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may want to get back in the games, even after an injury. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea.____40____

【38题详解】
根据上文“This works because drivers know the rules and follow them—at least most of the time.(这之所以有效，是因为司机知道规则并遵守规则——至少大多数时候是这样。)”可知，这里举例说明开车的司机知道规则并遵守规则的重要性，空格处应该说司机开车和运动的相同之处，选项C“It’s the same with sports.(运动也是这样。)”承接上文，说明运动场上也和路上交通一样，运动员要知道游戏规则，引出下文“When players know the rules of the game, fewer injuries happen.(当球员了解比赛规则时，受伤的情况就会减少。)”说明，知道了游戏规则就会减少受伤。故选C。
【39题详解】
空格处是本段小标题，根据下文“ If you love sports, you may want to get back in the games, even after an injury.But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea.(如果你热爱运动，你可能想重返赛场，即使在受伤之后也是如此。但在受伤的时候运动可不是个好主意。)”可知，本段所建议的防止受伤的策略是“不要带伤运动”，选项A“Don’t play when you’re injured.(当你受伤的时候不要运动。)”建议不要带伤运动，作为段落标题，符合本段主题。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea.(但在受伤的时候运动可不是个好主意。)”可知，这里不建议带伤做运动，空格处应该解释为什么要这样建议，选项D“It can lead to an even worse injury.(它可能导致更严重的伤害。)”承接上文，和上文存在因果关系，因为带伤运动可能导致更严重的伤害。选项中It指上文中playing when you’re hurt，逻辑合理。故选D。
