26、 When I was at school, read Gavin Maxwell’s book Ring of Bright Water. Affected by the story, I travelled to Sandaig and saw the house and one of the otters (水獭) with Andrew Scot (Gavin’s otter keeper). Later, I wrote to Gavin about my visit to his home and surroundings, and after the fire that destroyed Sandaig house he invited me to his new home in the remote countryside on Eilean Ban.
Gavin expressed the hope that I would take advantage of my interest in keeping a diary and write. On his death, I entered a competition for young writers about my experience of meeting Gavin, with story titled Bach to Paradise. Melvyn Bragg, the competition’s judge, spoke highly of my story, which he found to be “very moving” and added that he had enjoyed it “very much”.
Encouraged by Melvyn’s comments, I became a regular contributor to The Northumbrian Magazine, until I left the north-east of England in 1992 to live on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border. To emulate Gavin’s lifestyle, I chose to live in a remote farmhouse as what he did on the edge of the Bronte moors for over 20 years, with only wildlife for neighbors. During this time, I earned my living as countryside ranger (护林人) and helped the public to learn about the countryside through guided walks and events and by giving lectures.
Then I became a teacher, photographer and writer. Without Gavin, it is unlikely that I would have achieved the same success.
Thanks to the way of life I chose, my daughter, Mary, has recently gained her honorary degree in zoo management. She told me she had been inspired by my sparking (激发) her curiosity in the wildlife around our home.
【1】What did Gavin ever expect the author to do?
A.Write about his new home. B.Read as much as possible.
C.Spend more time writing. D.Enter a literary contest.
【2】Which of the following best explains “emulate” underlined in paragraph 3?
A.adjust. B.refuse. C.change. D.copy.
【3】What’s the main reason for Mary’s major choice?
A.Her devotion to animal protection. B.Her desire to know about wildlife.
C.Her respect for her strict father. D.Her love of Gavin Maxwell’s works.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Gavin Maxwell’s influence. B.Melvyn Bragg’s encouragement.
C.Benefits of country life. D.Protection of wildlife.
27、 Many students want to know the best ways to improve their learning. Here are a few useful methods.
Focus
One of the best ways to organize your study session is to use the Pomodoro Technique. 【1】 The idea is to use a timer. Let's say, you set the timer for 20 minutes, and focus only on your studies during that time. You cannot check email, or do anything aside from your task. When the timer goes off, you can reward yourself by listening to some music or having a drink of tea.
Test yourself
When you are studying, you should test yourself often. 【2】 You can also find all kinds of online tests for many subjects.
Interleaving
【3】 For example, in one study period you might spend time testing yourself on vocabulary words and then test yourself on grammar. Or, if studying math, you could mix multiplication(乘法) and division(除法）problems. It may be better for long-term learning.
Teaching
Teaching is also a powerful way to learn. 【4】 Some did not expect to have to teach information, while others did. When they actually teach a lesson, they develop a deeper understanding of the material.
Closing thoughts
You can create your own plan based on what you need to learn. You might organize your study periods with the Pomodoro technique. Then, you can test yourself and interleave different topics. There are many choices. 【5】
A.Researchers compared different groups of students.
B.In other words, they only study one topic at a time.
C.This method is a technique that means you mix different topics.
D.All of these techniques can be put together to make a powerful study plan.
E.It is a powerful, but simple method that helps people focus on a task.
F.When you focus and do tasks that are at the right difficulty level, your brain will become tired.
G.If you are using a textbook, then you can do practice questions from the end of each chapter.
28、 It was February and Danny Filippidis and his friends were skiing around. After a few days of fun and relaxation, their annual trip was coming to a close. Danny wanted to capture(捕捉) a few more memories of it to post online when they got home. The problem was, he’d left his cell phone in the car.
By the time Danny realized this, he and his friends were already halfway up Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid. Not wanting to miss a moment, he told his friends to wait while he skied back down to fetch the phone. Danny was an adult and an experienced skier, so they had no reason to doubt his return.
However, it wasn’t until it began to get dark that his friends finally realized something may have gone wrong. They called the police, who began a ground search in no time. Before long, his family and friends came down to help as well. But Danny was nowhere to be found.
What the rescue teams didn’t know at the time was that, by the time the alarm went out, Danny wasn’t even in Lake Placid anymore. He’d taken a wrong turn on his way back to the car, falling down and becoming knocked out. It was dusk by the time he woke up, not knowing where he was.
Danny struggled his way to the road. He flagged down a truck in the hope of securing a ride off the mountain. The truck stopped and he climbed into the warm cab. After telling the trucker where he was going, he fell into a heavy sleep. When the trucker finally informed him that they had arrived, it had been midnight, when his family and friends were still searching the cold wilderness for any sign of him.
Danny often reflects on what might have happened if he hadn’t been found by that trucker. To this day, Danny Filippidis doesn’t know the trucker’s name. He doubts whether he could even point him out if he saw him on the street and the police have been unable to track the man down as well.
【1】Why did Danny ski back to fetch his phone?
A.To surf the Net. B.To avoid it being stolen.
C.To make a call. D.To shoot some photos.
【2】What happened to Danny on his way down the mountain?
A.He got stuck in a rock. B.He fell down the mountain.
C.He met with a snowstorm. D.He crashed into a truck.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Danny was grateful to the trucker. B.Danny was extremely forgetful.
C.The authorities took no action at all. D.The trucker was hard to recognize.
29、 Here’s our pick of the most beautiful European cities with hardly any tourists:
Orange, France
While Avignon draws in thousands of tourists thanks to its summer festival and amazing Popes’ Palace, nearby Orange is usually unnoticed. Easier to travel around, with far fewer visitors, the city’s key attraction is the Roman Theater, which was built in the first century AD.
Norwich, England
The saying goes that Norwich has a pub for every day of the year and a church for every Sunday. While that’s perhaps far from the truth, this most typical of English cities is certainly home to some of the most attractive medieval architecture in England.
Norwich Cathedral dates back to 1096 and the streets of Colegate and Elm Hill are home to picturesque, centuries-old homes.
Aarhus, Denmark
Denmark’s second largest city is considered to be less attractive than its capital Copenhagen. But Aarhus makes a perfect choice for a Danish long weekend thanks to its pretty beaches, towering Domkirke and the great ARoS Aarhus Art Museum.
ARoS’s Wine and Food Hall is one of the best places in the city to try delicious Nordic food.
Antwerp, Belgium
The UNESCO-protected Cathedral of Our Lady occupies the Antwerp skyline, but there’s so much more to this Belgian city than its most famous building.
There’s also the Red Star Line Museum, located on Antwerp’ old docks, which shows the city’s past as a center for migration (移民) to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
【1】What can you see in Orange, France?
A.Roman Theater. B.Wine and Food Hall.
C.Medieval architecture. D.Red Star Line Museum.
【2】Which city will you visit if you want to enjoy a delicious meal?
A.Orange, France. B.Norwich, England.
C.Aarhus, Denmark. D.Antwerp, Belgium.
【3】What do Norwich and Antwerp have in common?
A.Old pubs can be seen everywhere. B.People there go to church every Sunday.
C.They are famous for museums. D.They both have a cathedral.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.
The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.
While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.
“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
