Holgate Windmill in York
For most visitors to York its main attractions — York Minster, Clifford’s Tower and the National Railway Museum — are top of the must-see list. But the historic city features lesser-known sights which will surprise and interest anyone seeking them out. Holgate Windmill is one of them.
Towering 45ft skywards, the four-storey windmill (风车磨坊) was built in 1770 by George Waud, a miller from Selby. In those days the skyline was dotted with windmills, with about 200 in York and the surrounding area. Today it is Yorkshire’s only working windmill and the oldest five-sailed windmill in the country.
The mill is run by volunteers. “They come from all over Yorkshire including Leeds, Wetherby, Knaresborough and Richmond,” says volunteer Lesley Jones. Volunteers produce flour (面粉) to deliver it to local markets. The local primary school — Acomb Primary — also uses the flour to make food. “We are very much part of the community. Local children coming to visit often take some flour home to cook with,” Lesley adds.
On a calm day, the process is powered by electricity. In suitable conditions, wind power is used to turn the sails.
Address: Holgate Windmill, Windmill Rise, Holgate, York, YO26 4TX
Open: Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday morning from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. The mill is in operation on Wednesday and Friday. There is no need to book.
Prices: Entry 5, free for under 16s.
21. What is special about Holgate Windmill
A. It is the oldest windmill.
B. It is powered by electricity.
C. It is known for its four sails.
D. It is in service to this day.
22. What do the volunteers need to do
A. Keep pupils safe on the road.
B. Make flour in the windmill.
C. Cook meals for local children.
D. Sell bread to visitors in need.
23. How much should a parent with a kid aged five pay for visiting the windmill
A. 5. B. 10.
C. 16. D. 21.

Over the years, George Frost, who is originally from London, has taught art in the Vocational Education Committee (VEC) and has had a number of exhibitions, including one at Cork Airport, which was a great success. He has also exhibited at Bishopstown Library, where he sold most of the paintings on show. George presented a painting of his to a politician and also a university.
For the elderly George, art is something he is crazy about. Art gets him up in the morning, and he often works a full day, painting in the studio in his home. His home in Cork City is full of paintings of landscapes, portraits and scenic spots, including an attractive description of Ross Castle in Killarney. His desire is to give lessons in it to senior citizens, preferably through the medium of television. His thinking is that TV art will attract a relatively big audience. And there are practical considerations. George is in good condition apart from suffering from a bad back, which makes it difficult for him to teach a class as he will have to bend down to see the artworks and give advice to students.
George is now eager to appeal (呼吁) to television producers to broadcast his art classes on TV. He suggests that the filming can take place outdoors in Crosshaven during the summer months, as he frequently paints in the sailing village, attracting the attention of passers-by to his artistic skills.
George believes he has much to offer older individuals who may feel alone and lack a sense of purpose in life. Therefore, he is enthusiastic about sharing his expertise with senior citizens, some of whom may discover a talent for painting. The focus is on developing inclusiveness among the elderly. George even does not seek financial support for his services, and he thinks that his effort will likely assist in reducing government health expenses, as it can serve as an outlet for senior citizens.
24. What does George work as
A. An educator and a painter. B. A member of VEC.
C. A librarian in Bishopstown. D. An artist and a politician.
25. Why does George prefer to teach art through television
A. He is too old to travel outside.
B. He wants to advertise his paintings.
C. He expects it will draw more viewers.
D. He has difficulty moving due to a bad back.
26. What is George like
A. Honest and modest. B. Considerate and helpful.
C. Humorous and generous. D. Competitive and daring.
27. What does the author mainly express
A. Sharing is caring. B. Art heals the soul.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too old to learn.
C
In the era of globalization today, different cultures are interacting more than ever before. While this has brought about many positive exchanges, it has also put some unique cultures at risk. Anthropologists-scientists who study human race, and cultural preservationists are working hard to protect cultural practices that are in danger of disappearing.
“Globalization has led to more uniform cultures in some aspects,” said Dr. Elena Rodriguez, a leading anthropologist at the University of Cambridge. “Popular culture, driven by media and the internet, often overshadows local and traditional cultures. We need to understand the possible effects of this trend and find ways to preserve the cultural heritage that makes each community unique.”
Using a vast database of cultural practices from around the world, Dr. Rodriguez and her team studied how cultural traditions are passed down through generations and how they adapt to modern influences. They discovered some cultural practices are more adaptable than others. For example, traditional festivals with strong community participation tend to survive better, while some niche (小众的) handicraft-making skills are at risk of being lost due to a lack of younger generations interested in learning them.
Another significant factor affecting cultural diversity is urbanization (城市化). As people move from rural areas to cities, they often leave behind some of their traditional ways of life. “In urban environments, there is a tendency to adopt more mainstream cultural standards,” said Dr. Rodriguez. “This doesn’t mean rural cultures are not good, but rather that the pull of modern urban living can weaken the uniqueness of traditional cultures.”
So, what can be done to protect cultural diversity “Education is key,” Dr. Rodrigueznoted. “By teaching younger generations about the value of their cultural heritage in schools, we can develop a sense of pride and responsibility. Cultural institutions can also play a crucial role. Museums, for instance, can showcase traditional artifacts and stories, making them accessible to a wider audience.”
Moreover, governments and international organizations can support cultural preservation projects. This can include providing funding for cultural festivals, promoting local languages, and protecting historical sites. Cultural tourism projects can be designed to introduce people to lesser-known cultural traditions all over the world.
28. What effects does globalization have on cultures nowadays
A. It has little impact on cultures. B. It brings about a mixed bag.
C. It has more positive effects. D. It contributes to traditional cultures.
29. What does Dr. Rodriguez’s study mainly focus on
A. How cultural traditions are influenced and changed.
B. How traditional festivals are celebrated and preserved.
C. How cultural traditions are handed down and survive.
D. How handicraft making skills are taught and learned.
30. How can cultural institutions make a difference to the protection of cultural diversity
A. They can provide funding for cultural festivals. B. They can teach local languages in schools.
C. They can design cultural tourism projects. D. They can expose the audience to items and stories.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Protecting Cultural Diversity: a Global Mission
B. Understanding Traditional Cultures: a Basic Requirement
C. Observing traditional Festivals: a Wide Participation
D. Preserving Cultural Diversity: an Overall Urbanization
D
Scientists studying the behavior of starlings (椋鸟) have found their ability to give and take makes their relationships closer to human friendships than previously thought. About 10% of bird species breed (繁殖) “cooperatively”, meaning some individuals refrain from breeding to help others care for their babies.
Now researchers studying starlings have found the support cuts both ways, with birds that received help in feeding or guarding their chicks returning the favor when the “helper” bird has babies of its own. Prof Dustin Rubenstein, a co-author of the study from the University of Colombia, said such behavior is probably necessary for starlings as they live in an environment where drought is common and food is limited.
“Two birds probably can’t feed their babies on their own, so they need these helpers to help them survive,” he said, adding that each breeding pair produces few younger ones. “What happens is that the non-relatives come into the group. They breed pretty quickly, usually in the first year, maybe the second year, and then they take some time off and some of the other birds breed — and we never understood why,” said Rubenstein. “But they’re forming these relationships in the sense that I might help you this year, and then you’ll help me in the future.”
The results agree with previous work from Rubenstein and co-workers that found starlings living in larger groups have a greater chance of survival and of producing babies, with the new work suggesting the give-and-take approach helps to enlarge these groups.
Writing in the journal Nature, Rubenstein reported that his team studied starlings at 410 nests (鸟巢) in Kenya, recording data over a 20-year period from 2002 that covered more than 40 breeding seasons. The team also collected DNA from 1,175 birds to explore their relationships with each other.
The results show that rather than helping birds at random, starlings preferentially helped breeding birds that were related to them, particularly if they were born in the same nest. However, they also helped unrelated breeding birds, even when there were opportunities to help relatives.
32. What do the underlined words “refrain from” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Practice. B. Recover. C. Avoid. D. Strengthen.
33. Why do starlings work together to breed
A. They require help due to terrible living conditions.
B. They want to increase the adaptability of their babies.
C. They enjoy the company of other birds during breeding.
D. They aim to make the most of limited living space.
34. How did the researchers make the findings
A. By referring to previous studies.
B. By tracking different species continuously.
C. By making assumptions and proving them.
D. By recording data personally and studying them.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Competition Between Starlings and Other Species
B. A Comparison of Starling and Human Friendships
C. DNA Information Shows Starling Family Relationship
D. Starlings Increase Survival Chance by Supporting Each Other

67. 阅读下面材料，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。
When I was very young, my mother thought it was necessary for me to learn to play a musical instrument, as most parents do nowadays. She asked me what kind of instrument I was interested in. I didn’t have any idea, but I thought playing the drums was cool and interesting. So she took me to enroll in a drum course in the Children’s Palace, where I spent nearly every Sunday morning for two years, practicing playing the drum.
As time went on, I went to middle school. I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum in a team and meeting new friends. At first it was easy because of my constant practice during the primary school, but a month later, it got more and more difficult. I was the only one who couldn’t keep pace with the other players. The band consists of students playing the violin, the piano, the guitar and so on. We were in a team; the music was beautiful, but it seemed rather challenging. So I was in low spirits when playing in the band, and the joy of playing music began to fade.
Our teacher, Ms Miller, noticed my struggle and singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. With each missed beat, I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally I got so tired of practicing that I no longer cared if it was done right.
“Are you giving up, Steve ” Ms Miller asked gently.
“Yes, I am,” I shouted. Ms Miller sent me inside the music room where I cried out. Then she came in and said, “Don’t be sad. I believe you can make it! ” She told me never to give up and left me alone to think about it. Alone in the music room, I recalled Ms Miller’s words and finally realized she was right. Quitting wasn’t just about giving up on myself; it was about abandoning my team. I couldn’t let my teammates down.
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。
Then I decided to go on practicing.

Should AI Be Used to Help Complete Homework
With the rapid development of technology, AI has found its way into students’ study. I think AI can be helpful, but we should not rely on it too much.
On one hand, AI can provide useful information and save time. On the other hand, using it too often may weaken our problem-solving abilities and creativity. Homework is designed to help us think and learn.
I suggest using AI as a tool for checking answers or getting ideas, but we should still complete our tasks independently. This way, we can truly improve.
【答案】
Then I decided to go on practicing. I took Ms Miller’s words to heart and spent extra hours in the music room after school, focusing on each beat and rhythm until I got them right. It was tough, but as I gradually improved, my confidence grew. My teammates began to notice my progress and supported me with encouraging words. The joy of playing music started to return, and I began to feel like an essential part of the band again.
Later, we performed in an important show. Standing on the stage, I felt a mix of excitement and nerves, but I was ready. As we began our piece, I concentrated on each beat, ensuring my drumming matched the harmony of the team. The performance went smoothly, and the audience applauded loudly as we finished. Ms Miller smiled at me from the side of the stage, and I felt a deep sense of accomplishment. That moment taught me the value of perseverance and teamwork, lessons I would carry with me forever.
