The best literary festivals 2023 across the UK to book now
Kite Festival
9-11 June
New last year, this literary festival held in the grounds of spectacular stately home Kirtlington Park in Oxfordshire is the first of its kind, combining music and breakthrough ideas to create a unique programme featuring live performances and interactive discussions. Over the Kite Festival weekend, you’ll find award-winning authors sharing their insights on crafting stories and electronic pop legends headlining on the Saturday night.
Primadonna
28-30 July
Held at the Museum of East Anglian Life in Suffolk, Primadonna prides itself on creating a space for works by women and those whose voices might not otherwise be heard. There are insightful workshops covering everything, including sessions on how to get your foot in the door of the publishing world. The family-friendly event also has plenty to keep kids occupied, from craft activities to entertaining talks from big-name writers.
Queen’s Park Book Festival
2-3 September
Queen’s Park Book Festival is the only one in the capital to be held in a public park, making it a low-key affair that feels more like a garden party than a full-blown festival. Alongside writers’ discussions on their latest works, you’ll find performance poetry events hosted by hip-hop verse maestro Poetcurious and nightly parties once the sun sets.
Henley Literary Festival
30 September-8 October
Henley is home to an impressive literary festival, which takes place over a week in October at various venues throughout the town, including the grand riverside private members’ club Phyllis Court and the historic town hall.

On a tram smoothly pulling into the heart of Luxembourg City, Marck gives a smile and takes a look at the fabric of the seat next to him. For him, the city’s trams are more than just transport. More even than the focus of his job. They are about transforming his country and, perhaps, changing the world.
Marck is the director general of Luxtram, Luxembourg’s modern trams. It first started running services two years ago. Next year, Luxembourg will become the world’s only country to get rid of fares on all its forms of public transport. Luxembourg’s traffic problems come from its army of workers. The population of the capital city almost doubles during the working day, when more than 110,000 people travel in and out.
After three decades when its roads have become so crowded, Luxembourg is going to do something remarkable. Free fares, and a plan to persuade people to switch from cars to trams or trains. Marck, along with many others, is excited to see what happens next. “The fact that this is free means that everyone can use it—young or old, rich or poor,” he said. “Everyone can say to themselves it’s better to leave the car at home. We must continue to improve and extend the network. It must always be comfortable, well-connected, efficient.”
Lydie Polfer, the city’s mayor, says she hopes to reach the point where more than a third of people come into the city using public transport—at the moment, it’s less than one in five. She said, “It’s not practical to ban cars because some people, like the elderly, need them. But everyone has to be aware that he or she can do something to improve the situation. There is an expression in German—you are not in the traffic jam—you are the traffic jam, and that is true. I think that making it free will be the biggest arguments for people to use public transport.”
（ ）24. Why does Marck think the city’s trams are more than just transport
A. The trams are his goal that he strives for.
B. There are more means of transportation than trams.
C. City’s trams bring more changes beyond transport.
D. The trams are the heart of Luxembourg City transport system.
（ ）25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The cause of the traffic problems. B. The means of public transport.
C. The development of running services. D. The increase of working population.
（ ）26. What concerns people most when using the public transport
A. The convenience. B. The fare. C. The comfort. D. The efficiency.
（ ）27. What can be inferred from what Lydie Polfer said
A. The elderly needn’t use public transport.
B. It’s possible to persuade most people to use the trams.
C. Everyone can do his part to improve transport situation.
D. Those who don’t take public transport cause traffic jams.
C
Taylor Swift, US singer-songwriter known for hits such as Shake It Off and You Belong With Me, has earned a new praise—she now has a new species of millipede (千足虫) named in her honor.
The millipede Nannaria swiftae joins 16 other new species described from the Appalachian Mountains of the United States. They have a valuable role, for they break down leaf litter and release their nutrients into the ecosystem. They live on the forest floor, where they feed on rotten leaves and other plant matter, and in fact, they are somewhat tricky to catch, because they tend to remain buried in the soil, sometimes staying completely beneath the surface.
Because of their presence in museum collections, scientists long suspected that the millipedes included many new species, but these specimens (标本) went undescribed for decades. To fix this, the researchers began a multi-year project to collect new specimens throughout the eastern US. They traveled to 17 US states, checking under leaf litter, rocks, and logs to find species so that they could sequence (测定序列) their DNA and scientifically describe them.
Looking at over 1,800 specimens collected on their field study or taken from university and museum collections, the authors described 17 new species, including Nannaria marianae, which was named after Hennen’s wife. They discovered that the millipedes prefer to live in forested habitats near streams and are often found buried under the soil, exhibiting more mysterious behaviors than their relatives.
The lead author of the study, Derek Hennen, a fan of Taylor Swift says, “Her music helped me get through the highs and lows of graduate school, so naming a new millipede species after her is my way of saying thanks.”
（ ）28. Why is it tough to seize the millipede
A. It’s flexible. B. It hides well. C. It feeds on leaves. D. It looks like litter.
（ ）29. What is the author’s purpose in writing the third paragraph
A. To show scientists’ tough work. B. To blame researchers’ carelessness.
C. To illustrate millipedes’ importance. D. To emphasize invention in scientific studies.
（ ）30. In which aspect does the millipede differ from its relatives
A. Habitat. B. Diet. C. Nutrition. D. Mystery.
（ ）31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Taylor Swift Is a Famous Singer-Songwriter. B. Scientists Conduct Research on the Millipede.
C. Research on the Millipede Amazed Scientists. D. Millipede Species Named after Taylor Swift.
D
Some experts have been concerned lately about robots leaving humans behind, taking our jobs and possibly a lot more, as in sci-fi films. Christ of Koch, a famous neuroscientist (神经学家), has suggested a novel method. To keep up with the machines, we should increase our brainpower with brain implants (植入物).
Koch notes that brain implants are already helping the paralyzed or people unable to move control computers and robots, and they are being explored for the treatment of mental disorders. Future implants could help us download huge amounts of information instantly, he says, so we can learn “novel skills and facts without even trying”. “Another exciting aspect,” Koch says, “is combining two or more brains into a single conscious mind by direct neuron-to-neuron links.” Koch calls for a “crash program” in brain technologies to make us smarter.
But Koch ignores the obvious facts that bad persons can hack (侵入) into our smartphones and laptops. What if hackers could attack our brains They may be able to spy on, change or control the memories of people implanted with brain devices. What’s more, we are nowhere close to being able to strengthen the brain in the manner that Koch imagines. Scientists have been experimenting with neuro-technologies for mental illness for more than half a century, and they have little to show for it.
Koch genuinely feared that science, far from addressing our problems, might exacerbate them. The use of robots in the workshop, for example, could cause mass unemployment. Do we just count the immediate job losses—without measuring any other potential positive effect on the economy Despite losing some jobs to robots in the short term, the increase in productivity will help our overall economy grow faster, which, in turn, will create more, higher quality jobs than we had before.
The future is not as scary as we think. Perhaps we’ve got serious problems on our hands, and we have a lot of work to do to settle them. Brain implants are not the answer.
（ ）32. What leads to Koch’s optimism about future brain implants
A. The great advance in AI research. B. Their application in medical fields.
C. The breakthrough in surgical techniques. D. Their easy adaptation to the human body.
（ ）33. How does the author feel about Koch’s “crash program” in brain technologies
A. Disapproving. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Excited.
（ ）34. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Avoid. B. Worsen. C. Reduce. D. Answer.
（ ）35. What’s the best title for the text
A. Are Brain Implants at Risk of Hacker Attack
B. Will Robots Take the Place of Humans in Future
C. Will Brain Implants Let the Disabled Live Normally
D. Do We Need Brain Implants to Keep Up with Robots

In a coastal village named Seaford, lived a courageous young woman named Amelia. Amelia was known throughout Seaford for her adventurous nature. From the moment she could walk, she would eagerly run towards the crashing waves, feeling the sand between her toes and the cool spray of the ocean mist on her face. She was a woman with a strong will and possessed a heart full of kindness. Amelia’s love for the ocean was intense, and she spent most of her days exploring the beautiful beaches and sparkling waters that surrounded her house.
One sunny morning, while Amelia was walking along the shore, she noticed a group of restless seagulls abnormally circling above the crashing waves. Their unusual calls echoed (回荡) through the air. Concerned for their well-being, she followed their flight pattern, her instincts guiding her toward danger.
As she approached a towering cliff, Amelia gasped in horror. On a narrow ledge (岩架), high above the violent waves, was a young dolphin trapped in a thick fishing net. Its shiny body shone under the golden rays of the sun, but its freedom was cruelly limited by the trap. With each struggle, the net tightened around its delicate body, leaving painful marks on its skin. Its tail flapped helplessly, each movement a request for help, while its desperate cries for assistance echoed through the air.
A sense of urgency filled her, pushing her forward with determination and resolve. Realizing that time was tight, Amelia knew she had to act instantly to free this innocent creature from its difficult position before it submitted to exhaustion or the force of the tides.

1.续写词数应为 150左右；

Future implants could help us download huge amounts of information instantly, he says, so we can learn “novel skills and facts without even trying”.(科赫指出，大脑植入物已经在帮助瘫痪或无法移动的人控制电脑和机器人，并且正在探索用于治疗精神障碍。他说，未来的植入物可以帮助我们立即下载大量信息，这样我们就可以“毫不费力地学习新的技能和事实”)”可知，科赫认为目前大脑植入物已经在帮助瘫痪或无法移动的人控制电脑和机器人，并且正在探索用于治疗精神障碍。所以他对于未来的大脑植入物能够帮助我们毫不费力地学习新技能和事实抱有乐观的态度。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But Koch ignores the obvious facts that bad persons can hack(侵入) into our smartphones and laptops. What if hackers could attack our brains They may be able to spy on, change or control the memories of people implanted with brain devices. What’s more, we are nowhere close to being able to strengthen the brain in the manner that Koch imagines.(但科赫忽略了一个显而易见的事实：坏人可以侵入我们的智能手机和笔记本电脑。如果黑客可以攻击我们的大脑呢？他们或许能够监视、改变或控制植入大脑设备的人的记忆。更重要的是，我们离能够以科赫想象的方式增强大脑还差得很远)”可知，作者对于科赫的想法是不赞同的。故选A。
【34题详解】
词义辨析题。根据划线单词下一句“The use of robots in the workshop, for example, could cause mass unemployment.(例如，在车间使用机器人可能会导致大规模失业)”可知，在车间使用机器人会导致大规模失业，也就是说在车间使用机器人只可能加剧问题而不是解决问题。所以划线单词和“加剧”意思相似。选项A“Avoid (避免)”；选项B“Worsen (恶化)”；选项C“Reduce (减少)”；选项D“Answer (回答)”。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Christ of Koch, a famous neuroscientist(神经学家), has suggested a novel method. To keep up with the machines, we should increase our brainpower with brain implants(植入物).(著名的神经学家克里斯特·科赫提出了一种新方法。为了跟上机器的步伐，我们应该通过植入大脑来提高我们的智力)”、第二段“Koch notes that brain implants are already helping the paralyzed or people unable to move control computers and robots, and they are being explored for the treatment of mental disorders.(科赫指出，大脑植入物已经在帮助瘫痪或无法移动的人控制电脑和机器人，并且正在探索用于治疗精神障碍)”、第三段“But Koch ignores the obvious facts that bad persons can hack(侵入) into our smartphones and laptops.(但科赫忽略了一个显而易见的事实:坏人可以侵入我们的智能手机和笔记本电脑)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了我们是否需要大脑植入物来跟上机器人。所以“Do We Need Brain Implants to Keep Up with Robots ( 我们需要大脑植入物来跟上机器人吗 )”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了冬季露营的一些活动以及需要准备的东西。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Nowadays, people are often very busy, working hard almost day and night. For a better life, many people think it’s worth it.(现在，人们经常很忙，几乎没日没夜地努力工作。为了更好的生活，很多人觉得值得。)”以及下文的“Undoubtedly, people need spare time to be free and do fun things, like winter camping.(毫无疑问，人们需要空闲时间来做一些有趣的事情，比如冬季露营。)”可知，前文将人们经常没日没夜的工作，而后文则说人们需要空闲时间来放松，因此可知，空处与前文是转折关系，引出下文内容，故E项“But not enough relaxation may be bad for health.(但是没有足够的放松可能对健康有害。)”符合语意。故选E项。
【37题详解】
根据后文“In areas with snow, campers can go skiing, climbing, or ice skating.(在有雪的地区，露营者可以去滑雪、爬山或滑冰。)”可知，此处讲述的是冬季露营可以进行的活动，因此空处作为开头句，要引出空处后的内容，故G项“Like summer camping, winter camping offers many activities.(像夏季露营一样，冬季露营提供许多活动.)”引出下文的冬季露营的各种活动，符合语意。故选G项。

根据前文“So, it can be more crowded in this season. Campers who don’t like a crowded place can instead choose to go camping there in the winter.(所以，在这个季节会更拥挤。不喜欢拥挤的地方的露营者可以选择在冬天去那里露营。)”可知，夏季露营人多，会很拥挤，因此冬季露营是好选择，没那么拥挤，故B项“It can give them more peace.(这能给他们更多的安宁。)”是对上文内容的总结。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Winter campers should be sure that they have clothes which can keep them warm.(冬令营员应该确保他们有保暖的衣服。)”可知，此处讲的是去冬季露营要做好准备，首先就是保暖工作做好，因此D项“Winter campers also need sleeping bags.(冬季露营者也需要睡袋。)”是对前文内容的延伸，符合语意。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“While winter camping can be quite fun, the colder weather can make a camping trip more dangerous.(虽然冬季露营很有趣，但是寒冷的天气会让露营变得更加危险。)”可知，此处讲述冬季露营也具有危险性，因此需要做好充分准备，故F项“So it’s important to fully prepare for winter camping.(所以充分准备冬季露营很重要。)”与前文是因果关系，符合语意。故选F项。

参考范文：
Without hesitation, Amelia rushed back to the village. She gathered the villagers to join her in the rescue. Amelia led the way, carefully moving along the steep cliff edge until she reached the dolphin. As she drew closer, she noticed tears streaming out of the creature’s eyes, as if it knew its fate was in their hands. Amelia carefully freed the dolphin from the net. Then Amelia and the villagers guided it down to the waiting boat. Then they made their way back to the shore and treated the injuries of the dolphin.
As the dolphin was gently released into the calm, welcoming waters, it hesitated for a moment. Amelia approached the dolphin and gently stroked it. The dolphin touched the girl with the tip of its nose in response and made happy sounds as if to say a final thank you before diving gracefully beneath the surface. The crowd erupted in applause, their hearts filled with joy and gratitude for being witness to such a remarkable rescue. Amelia’s courage and compassion were an inspiration to all who heard her story.
【思路点拨】本文以救援海豚为线索展开，讲述了一位热爱海洋勇敢善良的年轻女子Amelia，召集村民和她一起救援被困海豚的故事，Amelia在悬崖边上发现有一只小海豚被困在渔网里，她立刻跑回村子，召集村民帮忙和她一起救援，她小心翼翼地把海豚救出来，和村民们一起把受伤的海豚带到船上，送海豚去治疗，当海豚重回大海时，感谢Amelia和村民们，对于Amelia的勇气和同情心，大家深受鼓舞。
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Amelia毫不犹豫地跑回了村子。”可知，第一段可描写Amelia召集村民，和她一起救援被困海豚的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“当海豚被轻轻地放进平静、舒适的水域时，它犹豫了一会儿。”可知，第二段可描写海豚对它的恩人Amelia以及村民们表示感激之情。
2.续写线索：发现被困的海豚——决定救出海豚——召集村民帮忙救援——成功救出海豚——送去治疗——海豚重回大海——海豚对救援者表示感激——升华主题听力原文：

W: Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve got to catch a bus.
(Text 2)
W: Could you please explain the homework for Monday again, Mr Smith
M: Certainly. Read the next chapter and prepare to discuss what you have read.
(Text 3)
W: Excuse me. Which platform does the next train to London leave from
M: It leaves from Platform 2 at 10: 32.
W: So there’s still twelve minutes left.
(Text 4)
M: I thought that was boring. It was too long. And the acting was not very good.
W: It had a lot of big stars in it.
M: Yes. But the story itself was terrible.
(Text 5)
W: Have you seen my book
M: I remember you had it in your hand when you left the classroom.
W: But then we had lunch in the canteen and went to the library. We’ve been back in the dormitory for hours.
(Text 6)
M: Hi! Come in. What’s up
W: Can you do me a favour I just got a call from the office, and I have to meet my boss at the airport right away. Is it all right if I leave Jack with you
M: Sure. No problem. Is he asleep
W: Yeah, he just fell asleep ten minutes ago. If he wakes up, here’s his bottle and some toys.
M: Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of him.
W: Thanks so much for helping out.
(Text 7)

W: I have a really big geography test and I have to study for it.

(Text 8)
M: You look tired now, Joanna.

M: You are a great daughter.
W: Not really. It is my mother who is wonderful. She gave me life and brought me up very well.
M: So you try to repay her on Mother’s Day.
W: Right. But she has given me so much that it will take hundreds of years to repay her.
M: Maybe we should have Mother’s Day every day instead of just once a year.
W: It’s a good idea, Jeff. But I can’t get up so early to make breakfast for her every day.
M: We should tell our moms how much we love them more often.
W: I agree! I will tell my husband your great idea.

W: Sure. I’m a housewife, so I have to save money as much as possible.
M: And how do you save Can you tell us something about it
W: Well, I try not to shop in department stores or supermarkets except when things are on sale. I never pay full price. I really like shopping in outdoor markets, and I can usually find some real bargains there.
M: Great! That’s a good idea.
W: And also my husband and I don’t own a car. If we need one for a weekend, we just rent one. We can’t really afford to buy a used one.
M: I see.
W: And the best way to save money is not to pay people to fix things for you.
M: Sorry, I can’t understand that. What do you mean, Kathy
W: Well, my husband often tries to repair things around the house. We can save a lot of money that way.
M: Well, thank you very much, Kathy.
