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.

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.
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.

In recent days, Chinese agricultural technician Yang Xiugang has been receiving messages from Muhammad Usman, one of his trainees in Nigeria, asking for farming advice. Over the past few years, Yang has been devoted to helping farmers like Usman.
Born in Cengong county in Southwest China’s Guizhou province, Yang started to learn hybrid rice production techniques in 1998, when the manager of the county’s seed company came to his town to develop the industry. After mastering the skills, he was hired by the company as a technician. Recommended by his employer, Yang set out on an African-aid program to share agricultural technology abroad and has worked in several countries over the past decade.
Yang has been based in Jigawa State, Nigeria, since 2021. “The climate there is completely different from that in China. Temperatures swing sharply between day and night. Seedlings (幼苗) grow very fast-producing a new leaf every three days, compared with four or five days in Cengong,” he says, “so local varieties tended to collapse across large areas during wind and rain. Coupled with weak management, fields often had more weeds than rice, so yields were naturally low.”
Faced with these challenges, Yang set aside his experience in China and started from the very beginning to understand the local planting cycle. He spent long days in the fields, observing rice growth and recording temperature and seedling development. After more than two years of research, he finally developed hybrid rice varieties adapted to local conditions. Thanks to his expertise, average rice yields rose from about 3,000 kg per hectare (公顷) in 2021 to between 9,750 and 10,500 kg per hectare by 2025.
So far, Yang has trained 12 local farmers in Nigeria, including Usman, who has now become a skilled farmer. “Over the past two years, I have systematically learned seedling growing and other skills,” Usman says. “In the future, I will pass on the hybrid rice techniques I’ve learned to more people.” As for Yang, he hopes to expand the local hybrid rice planting area to 20,000 hectares before he retires.
4. Why did Yang go to Africa ten years ago
A．To take over his boss’s business.B．To spread agricultural knowledge.
C．To enlarge international markets.D．To search for better seed varieties.
5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A．What Yang sought for in Nigeria.B．Why Nigeria had low rice output.
C．How the climate affects seedlings.D．How farmers manage rice planting.
6. What contribution did Yang make in Nigeria
A．He shortened rice growth cycles.B．He expanded existing farmlands.
C．He introduced weed-control measures.D．He created region-specific hybrid rice.
7. What does Yang’s experience show about farming
A．Humans can win against nature.B．Skills require long-time learning.
C．Adaptation contributes to success.D．Teamwork makes for shared gains.
C
Oysters (牡蛎) act as “ecosystem engineers”, building reefs (礁) made from both living oysters and shells of earlier generations. Oyster reefs are highly important marine ecosystems that provide living space for hundreds of species, thus driving ecological interactions. However, an estimated 85% of Australia’s oyster reefs have been lost due to harvesting and coastal development.
In response, researchers have been working to develop artificial habitats that give oyster reefs the best chance to recover and have closely examined natural reefs for guidance. They found that oyster reefs are not random piles of shells but finely tuned three-dimensional systems. Their shape controls who lives, who dies and how fast the reef grows.
To better understand whether this really works and how, researchers studied surviving Sydney rock oyster reefs using 3D imaging techniques, based on which they created computer models and designed 16 types of concrete “units” with different heights and patterns. These units were placed in three bays near existing oyster reefs. Over time, researchers tracked the settlement, growth, and survival of young oysters.
The results showed that the most effective designs weren’t the tallest or most complex ones. Instead, success depended on specific combinations of features that matched natural oyster reef structures. The best design gave baby oysters a number of small spaces to grow with minimal exposure to predators (捕食者) or environmental stress. While total surface area is important, young oysters are very small and easily affected by various external factors, which should be considered to form an oyster reef. After all, it makes little sense to attract large numbers of baby oysters if the reef structure cannot support their survival.
This finding offers practical guidance for restoring oyster reefs worldwide. “This work shows that there are universal architectural rules for reef survival,” says Professor Joshua Madin, co-senior author. “Nature has already solved the design problem. Our job is to understand the design principles and scale them up to help reefs grow faster and survive longer.”
8. Why are oysters called “ecosystem engineers”
A．They balance the marine climate.B．They control reef growth speed.
C．They help shape coastal habitats.D．They reflect ocean biodiversity.
9. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The 3D structure of oyster reefs.B．The formation of natural reefs.
C．The impact of marine predators.D．The spread of oyster population.
10. What did the best design of oyster reefs feature
A．Widely spaced structures.B．Multiple small sheltered spaces.
C．Completely enclosed setups.D．Numerous complicated designs.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Artificial reefs can fully replace natural ones.
B．Destroyed oyster reefs are difficult to rebuild.
C．Reef restoration depends on technical innovation.
D．Nature offers a blueprint for oyster reef recovery.
D
Forests worldwide are increasingly ruled by fast-growing trees, while slow-growing, long-lived species are disappearing. This shift may help the wood industry and forest recovery after fires, but it makes forests more easily harmed by climate change and extreme weather events.
In a global analysis of over 31,000 tree species, scientists at Aarhus University mapped where fast-growth features are taking over. Using those maps, Svenning, a researcher of the study, showed slow, specialized trees losing ground to fast generalist species. In tropical and subtropical regions, Svenning flagged many small-range trees as most likely to disappear as disturbances increase. Once fast growers dominate a stand, storms, drought, and pests can knock larger parts of that forest down at once.
Logging (采伐), road building, and stronger fires leave open, sunny gaps where fast-growing trees take over quickly. Lighter leaves and softer wood let these trees grow fast, even when drought or heat makes water scarce. Low wood density (密度), how heavy wood is for its size, also makes trunks easier to break and dry out. Over decades, stands packed with light-wood trees can snap or dry faster, making die-offs more likely during extreme years.
Long-lived trees grow slowly, yet their deep roots and strong trunks hold a forest together when weather turns tough. Denser wood and tougher leaves help them resist drought and pests, and a recent report tied that durability (持久性) to climate protection.
Because slow-growing trees take decades to mature, today’s choices can lock in either stability or fragility (脆弱) for a long time. Overall, forests seem set to grow quicker while losing the slow trees that keep ecosystems steady and diverse. Future planning can treat those slow species as essential components, and it can test which restoration mixes hold up under extremes.
12. What does the study reveal
A．Forests are becoming more diverse worldwide.
B．Slow-growing trees are taking over forests.
C．Fast-growing trees are disappearing rapidly.
D．Fast-growing trees are replacing slow ones.
13. What makes fast-growing trees quickly take up sunny gaps
A．Inner structures.B．Rich resources.C．Human actions.D．Constant disruptions.
14. What advantage do long-lived trees have over fast-growing ones
A．They help maintain forests’ stability.B．They recover quickly after wildfires.
C．They grow faster in tough conditions.D．They provide better wood for industry.
15. What is the author’s attitude to protecting slow-growing trees
A．Critical.B．Doubtful.C．Angry.D．Supportive.
二、七选五
Pothos (绿萝) plants are the perfect houseplants. They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones.
The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. ___16___ You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home.
After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). ___17___ This houseplant grows well in either.
While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. ___18___ Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth.
___19___ Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms.
Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. ___20___ Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time.
A．Place the lower parts in soil or water.
B．Then, position the plants closer to light.
C．Do so twice a year during the growing season.
D．Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients.
E．Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant.
F．Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best.
G．Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。词数150左右。
It was a cool autumn morning when the school announced the annual sports day. For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts.
Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her persistence was hard to ignore.
The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and fell, scraping (擦伤) my knee. Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone.
As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was infectious. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging.
The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dream of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the thrill of competition. Training hard, I longed to showcase my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it means a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it!
The day I looked forward to came eventually._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Jason,
I totally agree with the rule of banning AI from writing tasks. Once I relied on AI to finish an essay, I made no progress in writing at all.
Writing is a way to think and express ourselves. Only by practicing independently can we improve our skills. So it’s wise to stay away from AI while doing writing work.
Yours,
Li Hua

The day I looked forward to came eventually. Standing on the track with my teammates, my heart beat fast with excitement. When the race began, we passed the baton one after another smoothly. I ran as fast as I could, hearing loud cheers from my classmates beside the track. All my efforts in daily training paid off, and I spared no effort to fight for our class honor.
Our opponent winning narrowly, I blamed our failure on myself. I thought I had slowed down the whole team. Seeing my upset look, Sarah and other classmates came to comfort me. They told me teamwork mattered more than the result. At that moment, I truly understood the meaning of friendship and teamwork. This sports day became an unforgettable memory in my life.
