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 Lloyds 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.
1. Why are you advised to buy an insurance policy from Compare the Market
A. To see new films for free. B. To travel UK for a single day.
C. To access Meerkat Movies regularly. D. To make a few savings at the cinema.
2. What is the advantage of adding 2,000 to the Club Lloyds account
A. You can avoid a 3 monthly charge. B. You can get free tickets every month.
C. You can have more free cinema tickets. D. You can get tickets in a convenient way.
3. How much do you pay for buying 3 cut price tickets on National Cinema Day
A. 3. B. 9. C. 12. D. 15.

My oldest child， Emma， just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college． These days， friends and family have begun flooding me with one question： "What is she going to do after graduation？
The job market is， after all， awfully tough． Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that "recent graduates are increasingly working in low - paid jobs or working part - time．" The bright spot，according to the study，is for students who majored （主修） in STEM---science， technology，engineering and mathematics---areas in which recent graduates "have tended to do relatively well"．
But Emma is a student of the humanities （人文） at a small college． She's an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food． For quite a while， I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I'm not the least bit worried she will find a good job． Yet the more I've thought about it， the more I've decided to be honest． "I'm not sure what Emma is going to do，" I now say． "But she's gotten a great education and has really found her interest， and I know those things will serve her W1over the course of her life．"
Nowadays， more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates． In this climate， encouraging your kid to study the humanities， seems， at best， unwise or， at worst， unconcerned with earning a living． But a college is not a vocational （职业） school． And promoting， STEM subjects should not be society^ only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world．
From the beginning， we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money， as more and more families are doing． To Emma， what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time： Emma's contribution to the world and how happy she is in it．
4． The author's friends and family___．
A． are worried about Emma's safety
B． have been worrying about the flood
C． are concerned about Emma's future
D． are worried about the job market
5． What can we learn from Paragraph 2？
A． The number of the graduates is increasing．
B． STEM graduates can be better employees．
C． STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand．
D． More and more graduates like to do a part - time job．
6． Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities？___
A． Because she is interested in it．
B． Because her mother told her to．
C． Because it is increasingly popular．
D． Because she wants further education．
7． According to the author， what matters most m choosing a major is that___．
A． it should be among the STEM
B． it should be fashionable and interesting
C． it should allow a good job and a high salary
D． it should bring achievements and happiness
C
Eating a plant- based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts.
Which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time.
“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (cardiovascular disease),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.
While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.
“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)… related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said.
Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion
“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.
“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.
“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is we should not be looking at single food s or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.
8. What can we learn from the new study led by Feng
A. It followed a young UK person for 13 years.
B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people.
C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.
D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.
9. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect
A. It was totally made up by some researchers.
B. It still held true despite some different findings.
C. It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle.
D. It was a misconception caused by differences in people.
10. Which of following is closest in meaning to underlined phrase “ take exception to”
A. Think highly of. B. Voice objections to.
C. Display ignorance of. D. Take notice of.
11. Lichtenstein believes that the study_________
A. should consider diverse factors
B. persuade people to eat vegetables
C. lacks scientific background
D. is beyond people's imagination
D
Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. He should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamic and promoting shared decision-making.
Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.
To facilitate (促进) group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone's viewpoints, justifying arguments with reasons, and seeking evidence to support arguments. It also involves expressing critically but constructively, such as other ideas, ideas, contributions, and seeking further explanation.
Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules for Exploratory Talk”. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children ask questions, contribute, reason, and develop ideas. For instance, children learn to ask “What do you think Why ” and listen attentively to each other's responses, reaching reasoned conclusions.
Another way Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share knowledge and ideas on a specific topic. Research indicates that children's Talking Points about more imaginative and extensive responses to traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others. As they discuss children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that alternative or valuable sources are new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in discussions but also in life as well.
12. What may help solve the group work paradox
A. Active interaction among teachers.
B. Group learning among students.
C. Teachers’ effective guidance.
D. Students’ deep engagement.
13. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students
A. To popularize group activities.
B. To build up their individuality.
C. To stimulate more proposals.
D. To encourage reasoning in talks.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Students should be challenged with uncertainties.
B. Traditional questions should be avoided in class.
C. Well-designed learning materials are group activities.
D. Idea exchanges between the students deserve top priority.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How putting children in groups doesn't always work
B. What effects a good communicator has on discussions
C. Whether children should be encouraged to talk or not
D. Why students' participation in activities should go

The Art of Slow Reading
If you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. 16 They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion.
So are we getting stupider Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. 17 But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other.
18 A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully.
What’s to be done then Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. 19 Personally, I’m not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position.
20 You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you’re still reading my article, that is slow reading.
A. The Internet is probably part of the problem.
B. Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading.
C. These are the two findings from the recent research projects.
D. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly, help is at hand.
E. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.
F. Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular.
G. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information.

(37)题详解：

(38)题详解：
考查定语从句。句意：自1907年以来，甘肃省出土了8万多张简牍，其中竹简和木简尤其丰富，有助于我们了解中国古代文化和知识。分析句子结构可知，本空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Gansu province，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
(39)题详解：
考查形容词。句意：这些文物具有重要的历史、科学和艺术价值。根据句意可知，此处指“艺术价值”，用形容词修饰名词value，art意为“艺术”，是名词，其形容词是artistic，意为“艺术的”。故填artistic。
(40)题详解：
考查名词的数。句意：此外，博物馆副馆长徐睿表示，这些展览还展示了博物馆文物的高分辨率图像，并配有详细的文字和语音解释，以帮助观众更深入地了解展出的物品。 image意为“图像”，是可数名词，此处不是单指一个图像，所以用复数形式。故填images。

(44)题详解：
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为中国唯一一家专注于竹简和木简的省级博物馆，甘肃建都博物馆收藏了近4万件竹简，可以追溯到秦朝(公元前221-207年)和西晋(265-317年)。date back to意为“追溯到”，是固定短语。本句谓语为boasts，此处应用非谓语动词，且a collection of nearly 40,000 such slips与date back to为主动关系，应用现在分词，作后置定语。故填 dating。
(45)题详解：
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：此外，它还收藏了一万多件其他文物，包括纸张、纺织品、木器、漆器和铁器。house意为“收藏”，是动词，分析句子结构可知，此句缺少谓语动词，结合语境可知本句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填houses。

书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Fellow students,
Good morning! I’m glad to stand here and the topic of my speech is “Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us”.
We all know cultural heritage, which includes ancient buildings, natural scenery and the wisdom of ancestors, is the essence of our culture. It can be a reflection of society, creativity and historic moments. Through the cultural heritage, we can have a connection to certain social values and customs. Therefore, each of us has the responsibility to protect it. As for the specific measures, first, when visiting the historic sites, we should follow the rules to avoid destroying cultural heritage. Second, we should try our best to promote and pass on our cultural heritage in our daily life.
That’s all. Thank you.
