Ways to save money at the cinema
There’s nothing quite like seeing a new film on the big screen! Here’s how to make a few
savings at the cinema.
Get two tickets for the price of one
Buy an insurance (保险) policy from Compare the Market and you’ll get free access to Meerkat
Movies, which offers two for the price of one on tickets every Tuesday or Wednesday. Fortunately,
there’s a chance to get this for around 1. All you need to do is buy a single day UK travel insurance!
Get some free tickets
The Club Lloyd’s current account offers six free tickets to use at Odeon or Vue and you’ll get
these within a month of opening the account. You’ll need to add 2,000 to the account to cancel out a
3 monthly charge, but that money doesn’t need to be in one go or stay there—you can draw it
straight back out.
Buy special offer tickets
From time to time there are deals running that offer cut price tickets. Sites like Groupon often
sell bundles (套票) for the likes of Odeon and Vue that work out around 4 or 5 each. Other deals
include National Cinema Day (usually in September) when all tickets are 3.
11. Why are you advised to buy an insurance policy from Compare the Market

I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books

with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to
break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that
I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but
nothing too special.
In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the
likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of
the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I
remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I
eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read
my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.
When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly
disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had
almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted an entire shelf in my
room to the Harry Potter books.
Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read
the title of the book, you can understand what it is about anyway. After all, an old book is a
representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because
the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me
now.
14. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She grew fondness for reading classics.
B. She felt uneasy about owning old books.
C. She had a poor relationship with her parents.
D. She was often given old books by her parents.
15. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade
A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Discouraged. D. Astonished.
16. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in Paragraph 3
A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books.
B. She accepted putting old books on her shelf.
C. She figured out what she truly wanted to read.
D. She began to ignore the appearance of the books.
17. What is the best title of the text
A. My Journey With Old Books B. My Passion for Reading
C. My Connection With Parents via Old Books D. My Encounter With the Harry Potter Series
C
When it comes to heart attacks, the first image that often comes to mind is that of a middle-aged

man, clutching (紧抓) his chest and struggling with a pained expression. This is what you’re most
likely to see when searching “heart attack” online. You’re far less likely to think of a female heart
attack victim.
According to Forbes, medical research has traditionally been led by men, which undoubtedly
leads to a lack of female-related data and information in medical research. From diagnosis (诊断) to
treatment, gender differences are often overlooked. For example, a 2017 study found that women are
at greater risk of dying of heart attacks than men.
The reason lies in the difference in heart attack symptoms (症状 ) between men and women.
According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the top-ranking hospitals in the US, women are less likely to
have chest pains, which are considered as a typical symptom of heart attacks. Instead, they have
more atypical symptoms, including shoulder pain and arm pain. As a result, many women were
initially (一开始) given a mistaken diagnosis, delaying access to the right treatment and increasing
the death rate.
Even if a female is correctly and immediately diagnosed with a heart attack, there’s another
problem: medicine. Research has found that certain medicines used to dissolve blood clots (凝块)
right after a heart attack can be helpful for a lot of men, but might lead to serious bleeding issues in
women.
Although women are no longer seen as inferior (低级的) in most parts of the world today, the
fields of healthcare and medicine still see a male’s body as the “standard” human body. For example,
Valium has been promoted as the “mother’s little helper” for treating anxiety among women.
However, a study noted that the medicine developer had never conducted a single trial including
women until 2003.
Take a look at the medicine you have taken recently. There is always one recommended dosage
(剂量 ) for adults. But who is this dosage meant for An adult in general, or specifically an adult
man
18. What is the main point of the first paragraph
A. There exists a gender gap in online searching.
B. People have a fixed gender impression of heart attacks.
C. Female heart attacks are often observed by researchers.
D. Researches on heart attacks are mainly conducted by men.
19. What does the underlined word “atypical” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Unusual. B. Mild. C. Deadly. D. Natural.
20. Why is the death rate for heart attacks higher in women than in men
A. Symptoms on women are more severe.
B. Women don’t seek medical help timely.
C. Symptoms on women are more misleading.
D. Women resist proper treatment and medicine.

21. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Women-focused medicine trials are being conducted.
B. Women are disadvantaged groups in the medical field.
C. Some medicines are more effective on female bodies.
D. Women’s health concerns were a priority in medical research.

The idea that night owls who do not go to bed until the early hours struggle to get anything done
during the day may have to be revised. It turns out that staying up late could be good for our brain
power as research suggests that people who are identified as night owls could be sharper than those
who go to bed early.
Researchers at Imperial College London studied data from the UK Biobank on more than
26,000 people who had completed intelligence, reasoning, reaction time and memory tests. They
then examined how participants’ sleep duration (持续时间), quality, and chronotype (睡眠类型)
affected brain performance. They found that those who stayed up late and those classed as
“intermediate” had “superior cognitive (认知的 ) function”, while morning risers had the lowest
scores.
Going to bed late is strongly associated with creative types. Artists, authors and musicians
known to be night owls include Henride Toulouse, James Joyce and Kanye West; But while
politicians such as Winston Churchill and Barack Obama famously seemed to do well on little sleep,
the study found that sleep duration is important for brain function, with those getting between seven
and nine hours of shut-eye each night performing best in cognitive tests.
Dr. Raha West, lead author and clinical research fellow at the department of surgery and cancer
at Imperial College London, said: “While understanding and working with your natural sleep
tendencies is essential, it’s equally important to remember to get just enough sleep, not too long or
too short. This is crucial for keeping your brain healthy and functioning at its best.”
Prof. Daqing Ma, the co-leader of the study who is also from Imperial’s department of surgery
and cancer, added:“We found that sleep duration has a direct effect on brain function, and we believe
that actively managing sleep patterns is really important for boosting and safeguarding the way our
brains work.
22. What can we know about night owls
A. Night owls may be more intelligent. B. Night owls don’t like sleeping.
C. Night owls struggle to do things in daytime. D. Night owls have to stay up late.
23. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning some people in paragraph 3
A. To show they sleep less but perform better.
B. To explain the importance of less sleeping.
C. To illustrate creation is linked with late sleep.
D. To identify which type of person can sleep less.

24. What will Pro. Daqing Ma agree with
A. The more we sleep, the better our brain are.
B. Our brain function directly relies on sleeping.
C. Active management of sleep patterns is significant.
D. Sleep seven to nine hours a day, keep doctors away.

The Decluttering (整理) Philosophy That Keeps Your Home Organized
When you sit at your desk, you may often be faced with chaos (混乱). 26._________ Here an
expert shares about some useful strategies to keep our messes at bay and her decluttering philosophy
— getting rid of unnecessary possessions and distractions.
27._________ “What becomes clutter and where your clutter collects can say a lot about what’s
going on with you.” Thus the first thing you should keep in mind is to understand your clutter. When
you understand the reasons behind your clutter, it’s a lot easier to know what to keep and what to get
rid of.
When it comes to organizing, don’t bite off more than you can chew (咀嚼). If you start off with
too big a goal, you might get discouraged if the job takes too long. 28._________ Instead, start with
something less challenging. You can also work within short time restrictions. All in all, setting
realistic goals and breaking tasks up into manageable parts can really help.
Once you’ve chosen an area to declutter, make a list of everything you have in that space. Then
comes the hardest part: figuring out what to get rid of. At this stage, please look at your items with
neutral (中立的) eyes. 29._________
Admittedly, it’s easy to be organized the day after decluttering, when tidiness is still top of mind.
But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to unpack your luggage Or
when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up 30._________ In other words, make a system
that works for you even when you’ve got to work or when you’ve got a cold.
A. Everyone’s clutter tells a personal story.
B. So don’t restore your entire garage in one afternoon.
C. The key is to create practices that can be easily maintained.
D. It can help you let go of things you don’t need but feel attached.
E. Comparatively speaking, the job taking shorter time will be easier to finish.

F. At this time you may wonder how to clean up your space and keep it that way.
G. If you are worried about these situations, you can delay your decluttering schedule.
