Mike
Shepherd(2011)Skiddaw
in
WinterCumbria,
England
It
was
an
extremely
cold
winter's
evening
and
freezing
fog
hung
in
the
air.
I
climbed
to
the
top
of
a
small
rise
and
realised
that
the
mist
was
little
more
than
a
few
feet
deep,
and
though
it
was
only
a
short
climb,
I
found
myself
completely
above
it
and
looking
at
a
wonderfully
clear
view
of
Skiddaw
with
the
sum
setting
in
the
west.
I
used
classical
techniques,
translated
from
my
college
days
spent
in
the
darkroom
into
Photoshop,
to
achieve
the
black—and—white
image（图像）.
Timothy
Smith(2014)MacclesfieldForest
Cheshire,
England
I
was
back
in
my
home
town
of
Macclesfield
to
take
some
winter
images.
Walking
up
a
path
through
the
forest
towards
Shutlingsloe,
a
local
high
point,
I
came
across
a
small
clearing
and
immediately
noticed
the
dead
yellow
grasses
set
against
the
fresh
snow.
The
small
pine
added
to
the
interest
and
I
placed
it
centrally
to
take
the
view
from
the
foreground
right
through
into
the
forest.

“Pride
and
Prejudice”?by
Jane
Austen
A
classic
that
never
gets
old.
Set
in
rural
England
in
the
early
19th
century,
this
tale
centers
around
the

of
five
daughters
and
their
two
parents
who
are
desperate
to
find
at
least
one
of
the
daughters
a
wealthy
match.
Austen’s
story
focuses
on
the
tension
between
marrying
for
love
instead
of
just
for
power
and
fame,
and
also
the
unique
pressure
on
women
to
find
financial
security
by
way
of
marriage
at
the
time.

Night
Stories
for

Girls”?by

Favilli

for
anyone

and
present.
“Becoming”?by
Michelle
Obama
We
wouldn’t
be
able
to
write
this
list
without
including
Michelle
Obama’s
memoir.

Should
swimming
lessons
be
mandatory
(强制)
in
schools?
Guangdong
province
is
set
to
make
swimming
lessons
compulsory
in
primary
schools
starting
from
2020,
and
proposing
the
courses
be
given
from
the
fourth
grade.
Do
we
need
to
make
swimming
compulsory
in
schools?
Forum
readers
share
their
opinions.
White
Bear
(Poland)
In
Poland
swimming
lessons
are
not
compulsory,
but
most
of
the
schools
have
them.
I
think
that
when
it
is
only
possible
---
there
should
be
the
swimming
lessons
for
kids.
It
is
a
lifesaving
skill.
Mister
Panda
(France)
I
come
from
France
where
swimming
lessons
in
school
are
compulsory.
I
even
got
my
lifesaving
certificate
in
school.
Jet
Feng
(China)
As
a
boy
born
in
a
rural
area,
I
learnt
swimming
in
a
river
near
my
home
when
I
was
7
or
8
years
old.
I
used
to
play
in
the
river
with
boys
my
same
age
every
summer,
which
was
also
the
only
entertainment
we
could
make
at
that
time,
but
we
enjoyed
it
so
much!
I
just
learnt
how
to
dog
paddle
because
no
one
taught
us.
Until
I
entered
university,
I
got
a
chance
to
enhance
my
swimming
skills
in
PE
lessons.
Compared
with
my
classmates,
I
felt
lucky
because
most
of
them
couldn't
swim.
I
think
it’s
a
good
idea
for
schools
to
teach
students
to
swim.
But
as
a
matter
of
fact,
not
every
school
in
China
has
the
conditions
to
do
that.
In
some
less-developed
areas,
there
is
not
even
a
swimming
pool.
Boilermaker21
(Expat
in
China)
There
are
swimming
lessons
in
my
city,
but
I
was
very
disappointed
in
how
they
were
taught.
The
kids
spent
45
minutes
of
the
one
hour
lesson
practicing
strokes(拍水)
ON
DRY
LAND.
They
only
spent
15
minutes
in
the
water.
All
of
the
children
panicked
and
sank
immediately
to
the
bottom.
Then
all
of
the
parents
berated
(指责)
the
children,
telling
them
that
they
weren’t
paying
attention
to
the
teacher
and
that
they
were
failures.
Cecilia
Zhang
(China)
It
is
a
pity
that
many
Chinese
athletes
won
world
championships
in
swimming
while
most
schools
don’t
have
the
swimming
facilities.
Swimming
is
an
essential
lifesaving
skill
that
everyone
should
access
to.
The
earlier,
the
better.
The
government
needs
to
put
money
into
the
popularity
of
the
sport.
1.What
can
be
concluded
from
White
Bear’s
opinion?
A.In
Poland,
swimming
lessons
must
be
given
at
school.
B.In
Poland,
the
swimming
sport
is
very
popular.
C.Most
of
the
schools
have
swimming
pools
in
Poland.
D.In
Poland,
students
are
required
to
swim
every
day.
2.What
do
we
know
about
Jet
Feng
when
he
was
a
child?
A.He
didn’t
know
how
to
swim.
B.He
was
brought
up
in
a
city.
C.He
lived
a
colorful
life
in

can

money
on

of
the
sport.

四、【2021年天津滨海新区模拟，阅读C】
Pandas
are
not
only
a
national
treasure,
but
are
loved
around
the
world.
Recently,
a
giant
panda
cub
born
in
August
at
the
Smithsonian’s
National
Zoo,
US,
was
given
the
name
Xiao
Qi
Ji,
which
is
translated
into
English
as
“little
miracle”.
The
choice
was
the
result
of
a
five-day
online
vote
that
drew
nearly
135,000
voters
in
the
US.
Interestingly,
National
Public
Radio
said
that
in
a
nod
to
Chinese
tradition,
the
name
was
not
chosen
until
100
days
after
the
birth.
This
cub’s
birth
proved
to
be
quite
inspiring
–
and
at
a
time
when
inspiration
was
truly
needed.
“
Xiao
Qi
Ji’s
birth
is
a
true
miracle
that
has
been
so
uplifting
to
all
of
us
during
the
pandemic
(疫情)
,
”
Chinese
Ambassador
to
the
US
Cui
Tiankai
said
in
a
video
congratulatory
message.
“
We
are
connected
again
in
the
growth
of
our
little
ambassador,
and
in
our
shared
joy
and
friendship.”
The
furry
black-and-white
animals
have
played
an
important
role
in
the
country’s
diplomacy,
known
as
“
panda
diplomacy
(外交)”.
According
to
the
Japanese
Royal
Annual,
the
practice
dates
back
to
the
Tang
Dynasty,
when
Empress
Wu
Zetian
sent
a
pair
of
pandas
to
the
Japanese
emperor.
China
revived
panda
diplomacy
in
the
1950s
when
China
sent
two
pandas
to
the
Moscow
Zoo.
By
1982,
China
had
given
23
pandas
to
nine
different
countries.
However,
most
of
them
have
died.
China
stopped
giving
away
pandas
in
the
early
1980s.
Instead,
the
animals
are
loaned
to
other
countries.
In
general,
they
are
to
be
returned
to
China
after
10
years.
But
why
do
these
cute
“diplomats”
find
it
hard
to
survive
in
other
countries?
According
to
Xinhua,
their
dietary
habit
is
one
significant
reason.
Their
nutrition
mostly
comes
from
bamboo
shoots.
Adult
giant
pandas
consume
about
40
kilograms
of
bamboo
daily.
Pandas
can
also
be
quite
picky.
They
refuse
to
eat
bamboo
shoots
after
they
have
blossomed.
It
takes
10
years
for
a
new
crop
of
bamboo
to
mature,
and
many
countries
do
not
have
an
environment
suitable
for
bamboo
growth.
This
means
that
food
has
to
be
imported.
In
August,
Calgary
Zoo
in
Canada
announced
that
due
to
pandemic-related
changes
in
its
import
laws
and
quarantine
methods,
they
couldn’t
provide
enough
fresh
bamboo
for
pandas.
This
meant
that
they
had
to
send
two
giant
pandas
back
to
China.
But
countries
are
still
trying
their
best
to
facilitate
this
special
type
of
diplomacy.
“We
don’t
own
the
pandas,
but
the
whole
world
wants
to
help
save
the
panda,
and
we
do
that
through
our
knowledge
exchange,”
Steven
Monfort,
director
of
the
Smithsonian’s
National
Zoo,
told
China
Daily.
1.The
expression
“in
a
nod
to”
in
Para.
2
is
closest
in
meaning
to
______.
A.in
praise
for
B.in
response
to
C.in
favor
of
D.in
order
to
observe
2.Why
China
decided
that
pandas
are
only
loaned
to
other
countries?
A.Because
the
pandas’
dietary
habit
was
significantly
changed
abroad.
B.Because
the
pandas
couldn’t
have
bamboo
to
eat
in
other
countries.
C.Because
most
of
pandas
could
not
be
adapted
to
the
climate
abroad.
D.Because
most
of
the
pandas
sent
to
other
countries
couldn’t
survive.
3.What
can
we
learn
from
the
text?
A.It
was
the
first
time
that
China
had
sent
a
panda
to
Japan.
B.The
practice
“panda
diplomacy”
dates
from
the
Tang
Dynasty.
C.China
began
panda
diplomacy,
sending
two
pandas
to
Moscow
Zoo.
D.Two
giant
pandas
had
to
be
returned
because
they
were
sick
in
Canada.
4.What
Steven
Monfort’s
attitude
towards
the
special
type
of
diplomacy?
A.Encouraging.
B.Uncaring.
C.Disapproving.
D.Doubtful.
5.
What
is
the
purpose
of
the
passage?
A.To
tell
us
how
to
feed
pandas
properly.
B.To
call
on
people
to

pandas
in

world.
C.To

Today,
we
study
literature
from
a
young
age-
-learning
about
our
histories,faraway
worlds
and
influential
people.
Whether
we
notice
or
not,
these
stories-
-both
fiction
and
non-fiction-
-
-guide
us
throughout
our
lives.
They
allow
us
to
see
the
world
through
another's
eyes,
open
up
our
world
and
teach
us
about
every
subject
known
to
man.
???
Despite
their
importance,
many
people
throw
out
their
old
books-
-laying
waste
the
wisdom
that
lies
on
each
page.
In
an
effort
to
save
this
knowledge
and
share
it
with
those
less
fortunate,
a
garbage
man
in
Bogota,
Colombia
has
been
saving
thrown-away
books
for
20
years
and
sharing
them
with
those
in
need.

neighborhoods.
So
I
started
to
rescue
them,”
said
Gutierrez.
The
first
book
he
found
was
a
copy
of
the
classic
novel
Anna
Karenina.
The
Tolstoy
book
was
later
joined
by
The
Little
Prince,
Sophie's
World,
The
Iliad
and
a
number
of
novels.
Today,
he
has
collected
around
25,000
books.
???
His
growing
collection
didn't
go
unnoticed.
Gutierrez's
neighbors
were
soon
borrowing
the
books
to
help
with
their
children's
homework.“
There
was
a
lack
of
them
in
our
neighborhood,
so
we
started
to
help,"
said
Gutierrez.
???
The
ground
floor
of
Gutierrez's
home
is
now
fled
with
books,
from
floor
to
ceiling.
Over
spilling
with
books,
he
opened
it
up
as
a
free
library,
with
the
help
of
his
wife
Luz
Gutierrez
and
their
three
children.
???
Word
eventually
spread
around
about
Gutierrez
and
his
books.
Most
of
the
books
now
come
from
donations.
He
now
travels
around
the
country,
delivering
free
books
to
poor
and
remote
districts.
The
library,
named“The
Strength
of
Words",
has
donated
books
to
some
235
schools,
institutions
and
community
libraries
across
Colombia.
