I was telling a Londoner recently about the North Yorkshire coast. “I really must go one day,” she said, sounding uncertain. “But we’ve already booked for Mexico next year — we’re going whale-watching.”
Sean Baxter, a fisherman, has been encouraging me to search whales out for years. This was another reason why I failed to mention the Yorkshire whale: I had never seen them myself. How could Yorkshire ever compete with famous places such as: Kaikoura, Anacortes and Isle St Marie Baxter was sure that it could. There was only one way to test it out.
We went in September, accompanied by wildlife guide Richard Baines. No birds escaped his eye. For Baxter, though, the birds had added value. “They will lead us to the whales.”
The waves drew us towards deeper water. I was looking at every shadow in the water, but found nothing. An instant later, a great black minke whale (小须鲸) burst upwards for a breath, and then it went down. The whole sequence (连续动作) lasted only a second.
“That’s a young whale,” shouted Baxter. “He will do that three times — watch out over there.”
We waited and waited, but the creature remained below. My excitement died down gradually and I was sure our moment had gone. Then, half an hour later, the whale came up again. Now, it was racing towards the boat. “He’s going under us,” shouted Baxter. I could see it clearly. I’m sure it was taking a good look at our boat and its crew (船员). Then it went down.
As the hours went by, I became familiar with the ways of different whales. Some swam purposefully, ignoring the boat; others rose higher in the water. The young would rush over, like puppies, keen (热切的) to play. I felt as if I had discovered an intelligent alien from space living at the end of my garden. Now I’m hooked (着迷的); I can’t wait to get out there again. Maybe I will get lucky and see more whales.
24. Why did the author go to the North Yorkshire coast
A. He admired its fame.
B. He planned to compete in a local game.
C. He was persuaded by a woman Londoner.
D. He wanted to see the Yorkshire whale for himself.
25. What do we know about Richard Baines
A. He is a local fisherman. B. He lives by bird hunting.
C. He is familiar with wild animals. D. He works as a wildlife guide in Mexico.
26. What was the first appearance of the minke whale like
A. It was brief. B. It was below the boat.
C. It could be seen clearly. D. It attracted some other whales.
27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph
A. He planned to do research on whales.
B. He will go to Yorkshire next year.
C. He has keen interest in aliens.
D. He fell in love with whales.
C
Christmas is a lovely time of year if you are lucky enough to be well, to have friends and family around you and to feel in control of your life. However, for many people it is a time that they are afraid of. As the nights draw in during the winter, many older people talk about how much more difficult it is to be on their own.
In a recent interview, Jacqueline Wilson expressed her concerns about children also feeling worried. But I was heartened by her suggestion in another interview that she hopes her books will reassure (使……消除疑虑) children going through a difficult time and make them feel as if they’re not alone.
If reading can, as Jacqueline suggests, provide reassurance and a sense of connection, it has never been more important. Reading could transform one in four adults who experience mental health issues in their lifetime, the 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia (痴呆症) and the one in ten older people who feel lonely.
We always know that a book could be a great Christmas present, but can it also change our lives Our research at The Reading Agency suggests that it can. We have found evidence to show that reading can benefit our well-being and help us make social connections.
People who read regularly are more satisfied with life and more likely to feel that the things they do are worthwhile; reading for pleasure can also increase sympathy, improve relationships, reduce symptoms of depression and improve well-being.
We are developing a new programme, Reading Friends, which will use reading to connect weak older people. In researching the programme, we found that reading with others can help older people build social networks.
Read a book with your children, parents or grandparents over Christmas; make a new year’s resolution to start a reading group with friends, and introduce reading to your community. You could be giving them the gift they most want this year.
28. What did Jacqueline Wilson worry about
A. Children feeling lonely.
B. Old people being given less care.
C. Reading becoming less important than before.
D. More and more people suffering from dementia.
29. Who is the programme Reading Friends designed for
A. Adults. B. Children. C. Friends. D. Old people.
30. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To call on people to read together.
B. To show the importance of reading.
C. To ask people to buy what they want for Christmas.
D. To encourage readers to share their feelings with others.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Reading helps people make friends
B. A book is not just for Christmas
C. The best Christmas present
D. Health benefits of reading
D
Scientists may have evidence that our personality plays into our eating habits. People who are open and extroverted (外向的) eat more fruits and vegetables than others, according to new research.
The new report, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, analyzed the eating habits of more than 1,000 young adults ages 17 to 25. Researchers gave participants a test to measure for the “Big Five” personalities: openness to experience, conscientiousness (尽责性), extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (神经质). Then they asked some participants to keep a food diary for 21 days and others for 13 days, in hopes of encouraging more people to complete the task.
Participants who scored higher than average for openness ate about 4.5 more servings of combined fruits and vegetables per week than those less open ones. They also consumed less unhealthy food, such as potato chips or fries. Extroversion also had a positive effect on fruits and vegetable consumption, though not as strongly as openness did, while conscientiousness was a weak predictor of produce consumption.
Of course, the study only found an association between the characteristic and eating habits, rather than a direct causation. It’s likely that people who are open to new experiences take those same attitudes toward food, study author Tamlin Conner, a professor at the University of Otago, told The Huffington Post. Their personality may make them more eager to try new fruits and vegetables. But it’s also possible that eating healthy foods can cause anyone to feel more like an extrovert: Another of Conner’s studies found that in the short term, eating more fruits and vegetables resulted in more feelings of motivation, which she says are key characteristics of extroversion.
So, you want to eat better Start eating like an open, extroverted person. “Try to take an attitude of openness, especially toward unusual healthy foods,” Conner said. “Go to the store, and pick something new. Practice behaving like an open person.”
32. What does the new research focus on
A. Food and health. B. Personality and health.
C. Eating habits and health. D. Eating habits and personality.
33. What do we know about the experiment
A. It asked participants to share their food diaries.
B. It was carried out among old people.
C. It involved five personalities.
D. It lasted for a month.
34. Which of the following would lead you to eat more fruits and vegetables
A. Openness to experience. B. Extroversion.
C. Conscientiousness. D. Agreeableness.
35. What does Conner suggest
A. Consulting an extrovert about foods.
B. Making friends with open people.
C. Going on a balanced diet.
D. Trying new healthy foods.

How to get by in a foreign country
Not knowing the local language is no reason not to travel. Here are some tips to get by from someone who does it all the time.
Download a language translation app
Thanks to new inventions, traveling in foreign countries has become much easier. 36 . Find an app that works for you.

Hire (雇佣) a local tour guide
39 . You can always search the web for local tour guides before you go, or find a guide through your hotel or a travel agent (旅行社).

Chinese painting exhibition
【参考范文】
Dear Sir,
I’m Li Hua,an outgoing boy,who is studying in London.I am writing to apply to be a volunteer of your team,having heard that a Chinese Painting Exhibition will be held in this local city.I have some advantages for the job.
First of all,having lived in China for sixteen years and having learnt English since I was a child,I have a good command of English and Chinese,which is beneficial for introducing Chinese paintings.Besides,having a good knowledge of Chinese paintings because of my familiarity with Chinese painting culture,I can get foreigners and the locals to know more about it.Last but not least,through my introduction and efforts,I believe I can strengthen the friendship between China and England.
I would appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
