Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation (膳宿) and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—checkoutsitessuchasWhatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.
GET ON A BIKE London’s “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

Montessori was born in Italy in 1870 with progressive parents, who frequently communicated with the country’s leading thinkers and scholars. This enlightened family environment provided Montessori with many advantages over other young girls of the time.
Her mother’s support was vital for some important decisions, such as her further study in a technical school after her elementary education. Her parents’ support also proved to be essential for her decision to study medicine, a field that was dominated by men.
Soon after graduating, in 1896, Montessori began work as a voluntary assistant in a clinic at the University of Rome, where she cared for children with learning difficulties. The rooms were empty, with just a few pieces of furniture. One day, she found that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs(面包屑) that had dropped on the floor. It then occurred to her that the origin of some intellectual disabilities could be related with poverty. With the right learning materials, these and other young minds could be trained, Montessori concluded.
The observation would lead Montessori to develop a new method of education that focused on providing better stimulation during the sensitive periods of childhood.
At its centre was the principle(原则) that all the learning materials should be child-sized and designed to appeal to all the senses. In addition, each child should a so be allowed to move and act freely, and use their creativity and problem-solving skills. Teachers took the role of guides, supporting the children without press or control.
Montessori opened her first Children’s House in 1907. When the Fascists(法西斯主义者) first came into power in Italy in 1922, they welcomed her movement at the beginning. But they soon came to oppose the emphasis on the children’s freedom of expression. Montessori s values had always been about human respect and the rights of children and women, but the Fascists wanted to use her work and her fame
Things reached a breaking point when the Fascist tried to influence the schools’ educational content, and in 1934 Montessori and her son decided to leave Italy. She didn’t return to her homeland until 1947, and she continued to write about and develop her method until her death in 1952, at the age of 81.
24. What was the main reason for Montessori to develop a new educational method
A. Her experience as a voluntary assistant in a clinic.
B. Her family’s supportive influence on her education.
C. Her decision to study medicine, a field dominated by men.
D. Her observation of children playing with breadcrumbs happily.
25. What was a central principle of Montessori’s educational method
A. Focusing on group competition.
B. Taking control of children’s action.
C. Providing one-size-fits-all learning materials.
D. Creating a free and child-centered environment.
26. Why did Montessori decide to leave Italy in 1934
A. She was offered a better job in a different country.
B. She was forced to give up her work and her fame.
C. She wanted to avoid the influence from the Fascist.
D. She wanted to explore other countries and cultures.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Montessori in this passage
A. Enthusiastic and kind. B. Observant and innovative.
C. Cooperative and generous. D. Traditional and emotional.
C
Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slamming it shut for the last time. I’m wandering in the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and chatting with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up.
It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I feel seeps (渗透) into the rest of my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier.
If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the ending count. Why Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately(不成比例地) influenced by peaks(the best moments as well as the worst) and endings(the last moments) .Nobel Prizewinner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint.
I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever trouble and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before.
Don’t mistake all moments as equal insignificance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting.
28. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean
A. Happily. B. Surprisingly. C. Guiltily. D. Curiously.
29. Which statement is true about the peak-end rule
A. The last moments matter the most in our memories
B. Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings.
C. The peaks and ends of experiences are easier to remember.
D. Our judgment of the past is determined by first impressions.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Why the author read stories to her kids.
B. What challenges the author faced in life.
C. How the author applied the rule to daily life.
D. When the author accompanied her daughters.
31. Why are Pete Carroll’s words mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show the importance of every moment.
B. To encourage readers to enjoy the endings.
C. To explain why last impressions are lasting.
D. To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports.
D
Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with m years” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result-but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my understanding.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both at the University of Chicago, and it draws from the “double process model” of mental processing. According to this view, we have two ways of assessing information. System 1 is intuitive(直觉的), relying on natural ability and feeling. It is quick, but likely exposed to misinformation. System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning. It is men ally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the material step by step.
For decades, psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using. As one example, consider the following question：How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark (方舟) If you answered two, you were probably only considering the core of the question, which is System I thinking. To get to the right answer-zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipe’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form—seeing vs. hearing—of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: when answer g these kinds of simple questions, participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud, rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study. For this reason, I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my cars. But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my motions while my critical mind takes a break.
32. What does the author think of listening to audiobooks
A. It is relaxing. B. It is demanding.
C. It is time-consuming. D. It is economical.
33. Which of the following best describes System 2 model
A. Fairly reliable. B. Fully automatic.
C. Question-centered. D. Emotion-involved.
34. The author talked about the Ark in paragraph 3in order to .
A. introduce a topic B. draw a conclusion
C. present a fact D. illustrate a view
35. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Reading non-fiction books benefits B. Listening to books comes at a price.
C. Critical thinking is a must in reading. D. Ways of receiving information differ.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s summer. You’re on your favorite beach towel, a friend beside you. You’re both absorbed in books, occasionally taking some water. But what happens when it’s time to head home Will you carry on reading together later Generally speaking, reading tends to be seen as an individual pastime. 36 However, the benefits of sharing the experience are numerous and worth sticking with throughout the year
37 For example, you don’t have to brainstorm to organize a conversation, because you both have a book in your hands. You can get lost in your book without worrying about seeming rude by not keeping up a constant stream of chatter. As you both enter the same state, your blood pressure will go down, muscle tension will ease, and your worries will fade away. All these put you at ease. 38 A quiet comer of the playground, a blanket spread out on the grass in the garden, or any calm space where you feel relaxed will do.
Spending time together reading can strengthen friendships. As you tum the pages, you might discover interesting stories to share with each other. Sometimes, you’ll come across more serious themes, such as losing a love done or a cherished pet, or facing anyone of life’s many challenges. 39
Reading fiction has been shown to enhance empathy(共情), which is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. As you know, novels allow us to live countless experiences through their characters. 40

Dear fellow students，
The time for us to fully accept our passage into adulthood is coming. It means we should assume a well-developed sense of responsibility, which is necessary for our personal development and the betterment of society. There are a lot of small things we can do. As students, we must take our studies seriously and accept responsibility for our own learning. Besides, we can pick up garbage around our neighbourhood to make a cleaner environment. Doing voluntary work at a local nursing home also brings love and warmth to the elderly.
Little things can make a difference. Working together, let’s shoulder the responsibility bravely.

Mommy’s not moving!” she cried, her voice trembling with fear. Mrs. Smith, ever the composed neighbor, followed Hill without delay, immediately recognizing the urgency of the situation. Upon entering Jennifer’s home, Mrs. Smith found her on the floor, seizing. “Call 911, Hill, and stay on the line,” she instructed, her voice steady as she began first aid. Hi, though scared, managed to relay the emergency to the operator, her mother’s lifeline.
Jennifer finally woke up and found herself in the hospital. The sight of her daughter’s worried face mixed with relief was overwhelming. Mrs. Smith explained to Jennifer how Hill bravely sought help, which played a crucial role in saving her life. Jennifer was filled with pride and gratitude. She realized that despite her fears for Hill’s ability to handle new challenges, Hill had shown remarkable strength and maturity. The incident not only brought the family closer but also deepened their bond with Mrs. Smith, who had been an unwavering support in their time of need.
