English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the
goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll
find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is
the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original
copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries,
and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore”
medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The
River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town
Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the
river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just
what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it
in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out
to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional
Cornish pie. It’s delicious.
1．Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta
A．In the Ludlow Castle. B．In the Foodie Center of England.
C．In the Hereford Cathedral. D．In the Black and White House Museum.
2．What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center
A．It’s situated near a big island. B．It’s almost surrounded by water.
C．It’s known for its flower festival. D．It’s easily accessible from London.
试卷第 7页，共 8页
3．What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey
A．Try the Cornish pie. B．Watch a British TV show.
C．Go fishing in the sea. D．Take pictures of the harbor.
B
For Sarah, a librarian in a small town in Oregon, the library was never just a place for books.
But it wasn’t until the record-breaking heatwave last summer that she realized its true potential as
a “community living room.”
As temperatures climbed to dangerous levels, Sarah noticed an unusual influx of people. It
wasn’t just the regular readers; it was elderly couples whose homes lacked air conditioning,
exhausted delivery workers looking for a cool corner, and teenagers who usually spent their
afternoons at the now-closed local park. The library, with its powerful cooling system and free
Wi-Fi, became a sanctuary.
One afternoon, Sarah spotted a man named David sitting near the back, staring blankly at a
computer screen. After a brief conversation, she learned that David had recently lost his job and,
without a home internet connection, was struggling to apply for new positions. Seeing his
frustration, Sarah didn’t just point him to a shelf. She spent her lunch breaks for the next week
helping him polish his resume and navigating complex job portals.
“Libraries are the only places where you can exist without being expected to spend money,”
Sarah observed. Inspired by the crisis, she started a “Career Corner” in the library, offering free
printing services and weekly workshops. The initiative was a huge success, attracting local
business owners who volunteered to conduct mock interviews.
Months later, David walked in, not to escape the heat, but to share the news that he had
secured a technician job. He handed Sarah a small potted plant — a token of gratitude. For Sarah,
the library had evolved. It was no longer just a quiet space for silence, but a dynamic hub where
lives were rebuilt.
4．What did Sarah find out about the library during the heatwave
A．It needed a more powerful cooling system. B．It could serve as a vital social center.
C．It attracted fewer readers than expected. D．It was too small for the growing influx.
5．What does the underlined word “sanctuary” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．A quiet research lab. B．A busy marketplace.
C．A historic monument. D．A safe shelter.
6．What can we infer about the “Career Corner”
A．It was initially a government project. B．It focused mainly on young teenagers.
C．It replaced the library’s traditional roles. D．It benefited from community support.
7．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Sarah: A Librarian with a Green Thumb.
B．David’s Journey: From Heat to a New Job.
C．The Library: More Than Just a Quiet Space.

D．Public Services: How to Survive a Heatwave.
C
As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we
use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect (方言 ), filled
with abbreviations like “hru ”(how are you ). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the
findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru ” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to
spell out: “How are you ”
“While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also
slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the
authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology.
The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people
report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that
abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8%
of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be
indifferent to abbreviations.
David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact
of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情 景 ). They examined over 200,000
conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated
the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear
pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster.
“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal
communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity
and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of
evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and
his colleagues concluded.
Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken
over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he
doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether.
“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the
relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery
driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen
social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.”
8．What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations
A．They make senders seem insincere.
B．They have evolved over a long time.
C．They reshape digital communication.
D．They are a shortcut to learning dialects.
9．What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations
试卷第 7页，共 8页
A．They could become trendy.
B．They would not bother others.
C．They could ruin communication.
D．They would damage social connections.
10．Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ______.
A．the evolution of language
B．a lower effort from the sender
C．an improved conversational quality
D．the preference for a shorter conversation
11．What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations
A．It enhances social ties. B．It should be abandoned.
C．It depends on the context. D．It can simplify the content.
D
“I write to find out what I’m thinking, ” wrote the great American journalist John Dos
Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half -
formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often
appears weak and illogical when committed to paper.
A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers
used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those
using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at
brain, verbal, and behavioural levels”. They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think
deeply.
This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has
reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult
literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs
have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a
trend that is unlikely to be random.
Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” clarifies why writing is essential. He
argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think
memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge.
Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and
developed into logical arguments.
In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book.
While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的 ) information, books provide rich context and
sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and
concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text.
As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and
attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and
试卷第 8页，共 8页
writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds.
Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider
what we might be sacrificing.
12．How does AI assistance affect writing according to the MIT study
A．It reduces deep thinking. B．It improves writing speed.
C．It enhances creative expression. D．It has little impact on brain activity.
13．Why is writing essential for developing logical arguments
A．It relies on rhyme and emotion. B．It is easier to remember and repeat.
C．It requires concentration and engagement. D．It enables accurate and revisable
statements.
14．What is the author’s attitude towards digital media’s effect on deep thinking
A．Optimistic. B．Dismissive. C．Objective. D．Concerned.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The Decline of Modern Literacy
B．The Benefits of Reading in a Digital Age
C．Writing: The Foundation of Deep Thinking
D．Thinking: The Capacity for Complex Reasoning

When we speak of a person being independent, what do we mean Usually, we take it to
mean that becoming independent begins as a young child - their level of independence increases
as they pass through the various stages of growing up. 16 The following insights will
make you think that independence is quite essential.
●Being independent is a boost to your confidence. Every life coach and motivational
speaker stresses the importance of confidence when you seek success in your life. The more
independent you are, the more confident you will become. You are going to be willing to do things
on your own, try new ventures, and so gain more experience. This creates a good and
self-fulfilling cycle. 17
●You will not need to rely on others. Self-reliance is a significant element in being an
independent person. When you can make decisions for yourself without relying on others to
approve or sanction your choice, so you are acting independently. 18 Relying on others
is not attractive feature in someone’s personality and might lead to losing friends or upsetting
colleagues.
● 19 Nothing compares to receiving that first pay packet and knowing that at last,
you can begin to pay your way in the world. Having financial independence is a fantastic feeling.
It means that you don’t have to depend on others to pay for you. Knowing you are in control of
your income and spending without referring to anyone else reduces stress and improves your
试卷第 7页，共 8页
feeling of contentedness.
●Independence leads to broader horizons. Once you can function as an independent person
without constraints placed on you by others, you can broaden your horizons. You will be able to
take trips to exotic destinations and gain more extensive knowledge. 20 You can form a
broader, more all-embracing view of the world, and you can also avoid getting into a single and
narrow mind-set.
A．The more experiences you have, the more your confidence will grow.
B．But some people don’t think it makes much sense to become independent.
C．You can get freedom through financial independence.
D．However, people who depend on others cannot learn to grow themselves.
E．Self-reliance is a sign of one’s maturity.
F．The pursuit of money should dominate your life.
G．Over time, you can become internationally minded.

people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait, but I
say: 34 every opportunity without hesitation. After all, nature doesn’t require our

It’s common to see a barista create coffee art, but using tea is quite different. Han Zheming
has mastered this skill, making tea art in cups, or dian cha in Chinese, 36 ceremony
during the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279). Over the past six years, the 40-year-old Shanghai resident,
37 aims to add fun to tea drinking and revive the ancient dian cha ritual so that more people
can appreciate its charm, 38 (make) nearly 200 patterns based on ancient paintings with
tea and spoons.
The preparation starts 39 hot water poured over fine powdered tea to form a
paste. Then more hot water is slowly added while the tea is 40 (constant) stirred by
hand with a bamboo stick. This method is believed to have spread to other parts of East Asia,
where 41 (similarity) can be seen in the way matcha is prepared today.
Despite having a background in 42 (tradition) painting, Han found that 43
(apply) the theory of creating patterns on tea foam as 44 (describe) in ancient
documents proved quite different in practice, yet he can now deliver a piece of tea-whisking art in
one take. However, since the pattern on tea froth lasts only for up to an hour, he takes photos of
his work 45 (extend) its life as he considers it a short-lived art.

Snowed In
Waiting and praying were a daily routine for Barbara Schmitt, but today the prayers were
more intense. Her three-year-old granddaughter, Michelle, had been showing danger signs that
made an immediate liver transplant critical, but the telephone was as silent as the snowy scene
outside.
Then at nine in the morning, the phone rang. A hospital in Omaha had located the right
liver donor, they were sure it was a match for Michelle, and they needed her there within 12 hours.
Barbara couldn’t tell what to do first — rejoice or despair, as they were snowbound (被雪困住
的), 600 miles away. “We’re snowed in,” Barbara told the medical coordinator on the line, “and
the airport is 17 miles away and there’s no way we’re going to get there.” “Don’t give up,” the
woman told Barbara. “You have 12 hours to reach Omaha!”
Fortunately, the phone lines were still working, so she started calling Sharon Stevens, who
runs Hair Angels, a fund for children with special needs. Sharon had already lined up a Lear jet
(医疗飞机) and two pilots to fly the Schmitts to Omaha when transplant time came. How to get
from the Schmitts’ house to the jet was the big question.
Sharon called for help through the local radio station, wanting to invite listeners to call in
with ideas and suggestions. Teresa Amshoff heard the story and suggested that the church parking
lot next to her house, only a mile from the Schmitts, would make a perfect helicopter landing pad.
As precious minutes ticked away, the Amshoffs rushed from door to door, begging for help to
clear the lot. Neighbors came without hesitation.

46．Dear editor,
I’m writing to share my thoughts on whether middle school students should post videos on
social media. In my view, it can be a great idea with proper supervision.
Posting videos serves as an ideal way for us to fully express ourselves. For instance, those
passionate about music can showcase their singing or instrument-playing skills, while art lovers
can share their creative drawing processes. Moreover, it significantly contributes to enhancing our
digital capabilities. Through video editing, we learn to be more proficient in using software, which
is essential for future study and career development. However, it’s vital to ensure privacy
protection and stay away from potential online risks.
Yours,
Li Hua
47．范文
Within half an hour, 50 volunteers were working in winds to clear the area in snow. They
braved the freezing temperatures and battled against the mounting snow. With shovels and brooms
in hand, they labored tirelessly, their determination fueled by the belief that their efforts could
save a young girl’s life. Sharon also sent a four-wheel vehicle to transport the Schmitts to the
church. The crowd cheered as the jet descended onto the makeshift landing pad and waved as the
Schmitts flew off into the snowy night.
Hours later, they reached the hospital in Omaha. A team of medical professionals anxiously
awaited Michelle’s arrival. The transplant was a success, and the Schmitts were grateful to all the
people who had helped make this miracle possible. The act of clearing the parking lot had not only
cleared a path for the jet, but it had also cleared a path for hope to enter their lives again. The
snowstorm that once threatened to separate the Schmitt family from the life-saving medical care
they desperately needed had ultimately brought them closer to their community. It had shown
them the true power of unity.
