Marvelous Scenic Walks Near London
There are plenty of walking routes in London. If you fancy something a bit more rural, then the green and
pleasant land has plenty to offer.
Goring Gap and the Thames Path

the curve of the river, winding past wildflower meadows (草地).
Post-walk pub: Pangbourne’s seventeenth-century pub The Swan serves high-end dishes. Bag a table on the
riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires.
Box Hill
To admire this spots rural views, first you’ve got to jump across 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the
top of Box Hill, where the path begins. The total distance is 6.8 miles.
Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a
glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie.
A South Downs Ridge (山脊)

Post-walk pub: There are always 10 real beers at the old-school pub The Wellington.

Colette Maze has been playing the piano for over a century. She practices four hours a day and her fingers
never tire. Music is her spiritual food. The piano, her passion and her friend, instills a sense of wonder in life each
day, making her a source of inspiration to all.
Colette Maze was born in Paris in 1914. She started playing the piano at the age of five. As a young student,
she was taught a technique by the legendary piano master Alfred Cortot, which focuses on relaxing the arms and
hands when playing. To this day, the manner in which Colette Maze touches the piano while playing the tender
music of Robert Schumann and Claude Debussy is still unusual and attractive.
Contrary to the social conventions of the times, Maze decided to pursue music as a career. “She decided she
was an artist, a musician, not a housewife, so she married the piano,” said her son Fabrice Maze. Later she became
a piano teacher and a single mother with great difficulty. The piano always brings her solace. “Music is an affective
51327059213852693670601091014833609775190language and a poetic language. In music, there is everything — nature, emotion, love, dreams,” Colette Maze
said.
Colette Maze’s talent and enthusiasm are priceless, especially during the times of the pandemic. “She helps
improve morale (士气). Though at an old age, she is in good form for she has passion and can look after herself.
Her sense of humor, her joy and her love of life make other people smile,” Fabrice Maze said.
Colette Maze explained that life is not about being old or young. “Youth is inside us. Life is all about staying
passionate and curious. You can’t let that slip away. If you appreciate what’s beautiful around you, you will find a
sense of wonder in it,” she said.
4. How did Alfred Cortot influence Colette Maze?
A. He presented her with a special piano.
B. He invited famous pianists to train her.
C. He took her to enjoy piano concerts.
D. He taught her an approach to play the piano.
5. What does the underlined word “solace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Pity. B. Comfort. C. Clue. D. Trouble.
6. What can we learn from Fabrice Maze’s words in Paragraph 4?
A. Colette has been changed a lot by music.
B. Colette is highly valued by musicians.
C. Colette inspires others to live with strength.
D. Colette don’t care about others’ lives.
7. What lesson can we take from Colette Maze’s story?
A. Be active and passionate about life forever.
B. Family support is important to career success.
C. Repeat helps to promote excellence.
D. Communicating with masters always helps one become better.
C
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to
answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.
Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic reasons
— why they should be preserved. So, let us assume (假 设 ) that historical buildings are both attractive and
important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many
examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old
51327059213852693670601091014833609775190-12700-127007594608498205buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not affect its surroundings too much, it often
improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be
said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply
because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of
the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all
still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something
fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
8. What does the author say about historical buildings in Paragraph 1?
A. Some of them are not attractive.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
9. Which of the following is true according to the author?
A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B. In no way should buildings affect the surroundings.
C. Some old buildings have ruined the area they are in.
D. Nobody knows why people speak against new buildings.
10. By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means ________.
A. destroy old buildings B. put things in a different place
C. choose new architectural styles D. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
D
Talking out loud to yourself is totally normal — and even beneficial. Gary Lupyan, a psychology (心理学)
teacher, says it can help you solve problems and do tasks better. In one of his studies, people were asked to search
for different objects like a fork in random photos. When participants said the name of what they were looking for
out loud, they were able to find it much faster than when they didn’t. This is because saying the name keeps what it
looks like fresh in your mind while searching.
Self-talk can be encouraging, too, Lupyan points out. In another study, basketball players performed faster and
better when they talked to themselves out loud in a positive or helpful way. It can help you stay focused, especially
51327059213852693670601091014833609775190in a multi-step situation. “Language is good at arranging steps,” he says. “It helps people stay on task and know
when to switch to the next part.”
Another psychology teacher, Brinthaupt, thinks self-talk is like a tool to adjust your emotions. It can guide you
to your goals and give you useful feedback. You might use it to criticize yourself, praise yourself, or plan your next
move — like practicing what to say before meeting someone new, or cheering yourself up if you regret what you
said.
Talking out loud can be a way to let off steam. For example, saying bad words out loud can help you feel
better, which can release your bad emotion. Surprisingly, it can help in social aspects. Self-talk blurs (使模糊) the
line between personal and interpersonal communication. It makes the line between talking to yourself and talking to
others unclear, letting people know what you think or feel directly or indirectly.
12. How does the writer prove his opinion in paragraph 1 and 2?
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By asking questions. D. By explaining rules.
13. What can self-talk help people do according to Brinthaupt?
A. Adjust goals. B. Practise skills. C. Manage emotions. D. Make comments.
14. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Self-talk plays an important role in our daily life.
B. People use self-talk only when they are in trouble.
C. Bad emotions can never be released through self-talk.
D. Self-talk always leads to better social relationships.
15. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To teach people ways to carry out self-talk.
B. To discuss the dangers of negative self-talk.
C. To introduce two teachers’ studies on self-talk.
D. To explain different functions of self-talk.

47. 阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had a dream from primary school: to work in television. My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were
definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, “You can
do anything you want to do.” My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock — always there for me.
With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in
Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I
51327059213852693670601091014833609775190was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship in CBC or CTV.
Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I’m new and
they're new, so if Fm going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but
I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, “Good,
Faye. That’s exactly what you should do.”
With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly
Mr. Slaight was on the phone. “I’ve heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o’clock on
Monday or eleven o’clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better?” I caught him totally off guard. He
stuttered a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited.
I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said，
“What do you want?” He sounded furious but curious. “All I want is a chance to audition. I just want you to know
my face. That’s all I’m asking.”
I didn’t know whether I’d ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called, “Mr. Slaight
wants to know if you’d like to come and audition for a new school life show.” I immediately answered，“Sure!”
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；

Marvelous Scenic Walks Near London
There are plenty of walking routes in London. If you fancy something a bit more rural, then the green and
pleasant land has plenty to offer.
Goring Gap and the Thames Path
If you’re in the mood for a gentle rural walk, the Thames Path is far from boring. The 5-mile footpath follows
the curve of the river, winding past wildflower meadows (草地).
Post-walk pub: Pangbourne’s seventeenth-century pub The Swan serves high-end dishes. Bag a table on the
riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires.
Box Hill
To admire this spots rural views, first you’ve got to jump across 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the
top of Box Hill, where the path begins. The total distance is 6.8 miles.
Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a
glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie.

Colette Maze has been playing the piano for over a century. She practices four hours a day and her fingers
never tire. Music is her spiritual food. The piano, her passion and her friend, instills a sense of wonder in life each
day, making her a source of inspiration to all.
Colette Maze was born in Paris in 1914. She started playing the piano at the age of five. As a young student,
she was taught a technique by the legendary piano master Alfred Cortot, which focuses on relaxing the arms and
hands when playing. To this day, the manner in which Colette Maze touches the piano while playing the tender
music of Robert Schumann and Claude Debussy is still unusual and attractive.
Contrary to the social conventions of the times, Maze decided to pursue music as a career. “She decided she
was an artist, a musician, not a housewife, so she married the piano,” said her son Fabrice Maze. Later she became
a piano teacher and a single mother with great difficulty. The piano always brings her solace. “Music is an affective
language and a poetic language. In music, there is everything — nature, emotion, love, dreams,” Colette Maze
said.
Colette Maze’s talent and enthusiasm are priceless, especially during the times of the pandemic. “She helps
improve morale (士气). Though at an old age, she is in good form for she has passion and can look after herself.
Her sense of humor, her joy and her love of life make other people smile,” Fabrice Maze said.
Colette Maze explained that life is not about being old or young. “Youth is inside us. Life is all about staying
passionate and curious. You can’t let that slip away. If you appreciate what’s beautiful around you, you will find a
sense of wonder in it,” she said.
4. How did Alfred Cortot influence Colette Maze?
A. He presented her with a special piano.
B. He invited famous pianists to train her.
C. He took her to enjoy piano concerts.
D. He taught her an approach to play the piano.
5. What does the underlined word “solace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Pity. B. Comfort. C. Clue. D. Trouble.
6. What can we learn from Fabrice Maze’s words in Paragraph 4?
A. Colette has been changed a lot by music.
B. Colette is highly valued by musicians.
C. Colette inspires others to live with strength.
D. Colette don’t care about others’ lives.
7. What lesson can we take from Colette Maze’s story?
A. Be active and passionate about life forever.
B. Family support is important to career success.
C. Repeat helps to promote excellence.
D. Communicating with masters always helps one become better.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to
answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.
Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic reasons
— why they should be preserved. So, let us assume (假 设 ) that historical buildings are both attractive and
important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many
examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old
buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not affect its surroundings too much, it often
improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be
said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply
because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of
the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all
still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something
fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
8. What does the author say about historical buildings in Paragraph 1?
A. Some of them are not attractive.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
9. Which of the following is true according to the author?
A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B. In no way should buildings affect the surroundings.
C. Some old buildings have ruined the area they are in.
D. Nobody knows why people speak against new buildings.
10. By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means ________.
A. destroy old buildings B. put things in a different place
C. choose new architectural styles D. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D

Talking out loud to yourself is totally normal — and even beneficial. Gary Lupyan, a psychology (心理学)
teacher, says it can help you solve problems and do tasks better. In one of his studies, people were asked to search
for different objects like a fork in random photos. When participants said the name of what they were looking for
out loud, they were able to find it much faster than when they didn’t. This is because saying the name keeps what it
looks like fresh in your mind while searching.
Self-talk can be encouraging, too, Lupyan points out. In another study, basketball players performed faster and
better when they talked to themselves out loud in a positive or helpful way. It can help you stay focused, especially
in a multi-step situation. “Language is good at arranging steps,” he says. “It helps people stay on task and know
when to switch to the next part.”
Another psychology teacher, Brinthaupt, thinks self-talk is like a tool to adjust your emotions. It can guide you
to your goals and give you useful feedback. You might use it to criticize yourself, praise yourself, or plan your next
move — like practicing what to say before meeting someone new, or cheering yourself up if you regret what you
said.
Talking out loud can be a way to let off steam. For example, saying bad words out loud can help you feel
better, which can release your bad emotion. Surprisingly, it can help in social aspects. Self-talk blurs (使模糊) the
line between personal and interpersonal communication. It makes the line between talking to yourself and talking to
others unclear, letting people know what you think or feel directly or indirectly.
12. How does the writer prove his opinion in paragraph 1 and 2?
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By asking questions. D. By explaining rules.
13. What can self-talk help people do according to Brinthaupt?
A. Adjust goals. B. Practise skills. C. Manage emotions. D. Make comments.
14. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Self-talk plays an important role in our daily life.
B. People use self-talk only when they are in trouble.
C. Bad emotions can never be released through self-talk.
D. Self-talk always leads to better social relationships.
15. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To teach people ways to carry out self-talk.
B. To discuss the dangers of negative self-talk.
C. To introduce two teachers’ studies on self-talk.
D. To explain different functions of self-talk.

47. 阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had a dream from primary school: to work in television. My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were
definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, “You can
do anything you want to do.” My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock — always there for me.
With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in
Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I
was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship in CBC or CTV.
Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I’m new and
they're new, so if Fm going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but
I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, “Good,
Faye. That’s exactly what you should do.”
With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly
Mr. Slaight was on the phone. “I’ve heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o’clock on
Monday or eleven o’clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better?” I caught him totally off guard. He
stuttered a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited.
I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said，
“What do you want?” He sounded furious but curious. “All I want is a chance to audition. I just want you to know
my face. That’s all I’m asking.”
I didn’t know whether I’d ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called, “Mr. Slaight
wants to know if you’d like to come and audition for a new school life show.” I immediately answered，“Sure!”
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When I arrived at the station, I went direct into the audition and began my short performance.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:
Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When I arrived at the station, I went direct into the audition and began my short performance. With boldness,
I finished my performance relatively smoothly though palms were sweating. Never in my wildest dream did I
imagine that I was indeed assigned the intern job to act on a school life show and my first public appearance on TV
was in five days. After sharing the thrilling news with my dad, I received the warmest congratulations and
expectations from my family. Picturing my families eagerly waiting for my performance, I worked day and night as
busy as a bee for fear that I would make a fool of myself live on TV.
Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching. Wearing
fancy dress and delicate make up, I was so proud but nervous that my show would be watched by so many audience.
My mind suddenly went blank as I was immersed in my thoughts and totally forgot my lines. Deep frowns
gradually climbed on my partners' face, with whose sudden vigorous pull, I was driven back to the reality. I soon
came up with a little trick to make up for the embarrassing blank. As the show went on, so concentrated was I that I
hardly dared to even blink my eyes. After my debut, I rang my dad with frustration and disappointment, only to
reap his trust and encouragement again. It was literally dad's love that supported me along my way to be an
outstanding actor.
