A
Planning a visit to the UK Here are some useful methods to cut down your budget.
AVOID BIG EVENTS
During big sporting games, concerts and exhibitions, the cost of accommodation is more likely to increase. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy(喜剧)Festival (19th Oct.) cost 169.15 at e while just a week later, the same room cost 118.15. If you want to know which dates to avoid or you've looking for a big event to pass your time, check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION
If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good hotel close to the station, but you are expected to pay more because of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don't put too much attention on the part of town you stay in. Booking two months ahead of schedule, the cheapest single room at Travelodge's Central Euston in London for Saturday 22th September was 95.95. A room just an underground journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. While at Farringdon, a double room costs just 62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF
Really central hotels in cities like London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. So it will be a good choice to consider checking into a self-cooking flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. An example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for 420 for five days in September, with rooms for four adults.
TAKE A BIKE
London's "Boris bikes" have aroused the most attention from home and overseas tourists, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (approximately 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes).
21．The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show that big events
may________.
A．help the travelers kill the time
B．cause the travelers to spend more on accommodation

D．to show tourists the importance and convenience of self-help

I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My grandfather was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals(脚蹬子) and start cycling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from cycling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My grandfather kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. My grandfather decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up brightly and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn't that afraid of falling anymore.
Despite the fact that I knew there were a range of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my grandfather's help. After all, riding a bike was indeed what I wanted to do eagerly.

C
Seeing a monarch butterfly used to be quite common in the US, but now it’s another story. Their numbers are falling rapidly. In fact, their numbers have fallen by 90 percent in just 20 years. In California, in just one year, their numbers dropped 86 percent.
These butterflies are amazing creatures. They are the only insect that migrates to a warmer climate. In fact, National Geographic says, “It’s one of the greatest natural events on Earth.” The butterflies that hatch in North America in the late summer will migrate the entire way to Mexico, a journey that is around 3,000 miles.
Monarch butterflies are pollinators （授粉者） and help crops. But now they need our help, just like the bees. That’s why I raise and set free monarch butterflies. However, 10 years ago, I didn’t know a single thing about butterflies.
My husband has always collected monarch caterpillars to observe their changes. For Father’s Day six years ago, I gifted him a box with painted lady butterflies. I didn’t know much about butterflies at that time, but he showed me how to find monarch caterpillars and taught me about milkweed（马利筋）. That is when we began raising a handful, seven or eight, monarch butterflies a year.
This year, I was determined to double that number. We saved all the milkweed that was growing around our house for the females to have plenty of options to lay their eggs and have food. Last year, I didn’t find any monarch eggs until late August. This year, I started in the middle of July, and my intake is already over 200.
A female monarch butterfly will lay up to 500 eggs, one single egg at a time. Of all those eggs laid, only one or two per 100 survive to complete the full change.
These monarch butterflies are endangered, so I hope more people will join us.
28. What does the author mean by saying “now it’s another story” in Paragraph 1
A. Monarch butterflies are hard to see in the US now.
B. The author no longer lives in the country.
C. Monarch butterflies now mainly live in California.
D. The author no longer likes monarch butterflies now.
29. What makes monarch butterflies different from other insects
A. Spending a lot of time living in Mexico.
B. Being only able to survive in a hot climate.
C. Flying far to another place for a warmer environment.
D. Hatching in the late summer instead of spring.
30. What can we learn about saving monarch butterflies
A. It’s too costly to save monarch butterflies.
B. Planting milkweed is very important.
C. These butterflies like laying eggs on different plants.
D. One doesn’t need much knowledge to save these butterflies.
31. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To show the importance of pollinators.
B. To encourage people to help save monarch butterflies.
C. To tell some basic facts about monarch butterflies.
D. To explain why monarch butterflies are worth saving.
D
Germany’s top court has ruled that parts of the country’s 2019 climate action law must be changed because they don’t do a good job of protecting young people. The result is a big victory for the nine young people who started the law suing.
The court suing stresses an important part of the climate change. The change will impact greatly on young people far more than the adults. That’s because the effects of earth warming will become more serious over time. As young people become adults, they’ll be left to deal with many problems that today’s adults have ignored. The government’s failure to plan carefully was putting their future lives in danger.
In 2019, Germany passed a new law, promising that the country would be carbon neutral（碳中和）by 2050. The law made a detailed plan of action until 2030. But the law didn’t have any specific rules or plans for climate actions that would be taken between 2031 and 2050.
Last Thursday, the judges of Germany’s highest court agreed with the young people. They said that not taking climate action made the basic rights of young people to a good future in danger.
The young people had challenged the government’s law in four specific areas. The judges didn’t agree with all of the challenges. But having the court support even a part of their case is seen as a big victory. Neubauer is one of the young people who sued. She works with the climate action group called Fridays For Future. Ms. Neubauer said, “Climate protection is our basic right. This is a huge win for the climate movement. It changes a lot.”
The court has given the German government until the end of 2022 to fix the law. The climate law will now need to have a much more detailed plan for the actions that will be taken after 2030 to cut Germany’s pollution, allowing it to become carbon neutral by 2050. Germany’s government has said that it will quickly begin working to make the needed changes.
32. Why did the nine young people sue the Germany government
A. They faced a higher rate of losing jobs.
B. The government refused their law suing.
C. They weren’t satisfied with the climate action law.
D. The local court ruled against the climate law.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The climate change will influence the young.
B. The adults nowadays are put under pressure.
C. Earth warming is becoming out of control.
D. Humans feel uncertain about the future.
34. What is the government required to do about the climate law
A. Take strict punishment measures. B. Win people’s wide support.
C. Improve the present law. D. Achieve carbon neutral in advance.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Business. B. Health. C. Education. D. Environment.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you'd like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.
●Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. 36
●Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes. 37 For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
●Always carry a book. 38 When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.
● 39 Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Do not lie down unless you're going to sleep. There should be no television or computer near the chair, and no music or noisy family members or roommates. If you don't have a place like this, create one.
●Reduce television or the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. 40 But remember: every minute you reduce of the Internet or TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.
Go to bookstores.
Find a quiet place.
This may be difficult for some people.
Wherever you go, take a book with you.
Have some good tea or coffee while you read.
It means you will read no matter how busy you are.
G. If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you'll really love.

Cleaning in your dreams
实锤来了：熬夜真的会变傻！
Just as our bodies produce waste every day – which is why we need to shower and use the toilet – our brains produce 56_____(harm) waste proteins. But how can our brains “shower” 57______(they)
A 2013 study found the answer. Researchers at the US University of Rochester studied the brains of mice and discovered that they cleaned themselves while the mice slept. A kind of fluid(液体) in the brain, 58_____(call) cerebral spinal fluid(脑脊液), was found to increase 59_____(dramatic) during sleep, 60_____(wash) away waste proteins that had been building up between brain cells in waking hours.
“This study shows that the brain has different functional states when asleep and when awake,” Maiken Nedergaard, the lead researcher, told NBC News. It also explains 61_____we can’t seem to think clearly after a sleepless night while a good night’s sleep leaves us feeling sharp and refreshed.
Now a new study, published on Oct 31 in Science, digs a little 62_____(deep) into our brains’ self-cleaning procedure. Instead of mice, this time humans were the test subjects.
Researchers at Boston University, US, monitored the brain waves of 13 healthy adults 63_____ were sleeping, using accelerated fMRI, which is capable of recording faster changes inside the brain than a regular fMRI machine. They found that every 20 seconds, blood flowed out of the brain, making room for a large amount of CSF to come in and “clean”. This cycle coincided with the rhythm of the brain’s slow waves – 64_____electrical activity that happens when we’re in deep sleep.
It’s still unknown how these brain activities are connected. But the mere fact that they are connected is exciting enough, since it allows researchers 65_____(piece) together possible new explanations for misunderstood diseases.

That is when we began raising a handful, seven or eight, monarch butterflies a year.
This year, I was determined to double that number. We saved all the milkweed that was growing around our house for the females to have plenty of options to lay their eggs and have food. Last year, I didn’t find any monarch eggs until late August. This year, I started in the middle of July, and my intake is already over 200.
A female monarch butterfly will lay up to 500 eggs, one single egg at a time. Of all those eggs laid, only one or two per 100 survive to complete the full change.
These monarch butterflies are endangered, so I hope more people will join us.

Germany’s top court has ruled that parts of the country’s 2019 climate action law must be changed because they don’t do a good job of protecting young people. The result is a big victory for the nine young people who started the law suing.
The court suing stresses an important part of the climate change. The change will impact greatly on young people far more than the adults. That’s because the effects of earth warming will become more serious over time. As young people become adults, they’ll be left to deal with many problems that today’s adults have ignored. The government’s failure to plan carefully was putting their future lives in danger.
In 2019, Germany passed a new law, promising that the country would be carbon neutral（碳中和）by 2050. The law made a detailed plan of action until 2030. But the law didn’t have any specific rules or plans for climate actions that would be taken between 2031 and 2050.
Last Thursday, the judges of Germany’s highest court agreed with the young people. They said that not taking climate action made the basic rights of young people to a good future in danger.
The young people had challenged the government’s law in four specific areas. The judges didn’t agree with all of the challenges. But having the court support even a part of their case is seen as a big victory. Neubauer is one of the young people who sued. She works with the climate action group called Fridays For Future. Ms. Neubauer said, “Climate protection is our basic right. This is a huge win for the climate movement. It changes a lot.”
The court has given the German government until the end of 2022 to fix the law. The climate law will now need to have a much more detailed plan for the actions that will be taken after 2030 to cut Germany’s pollution, allowing it to become carbon neutral by 2050. Germany’s government has said that it will quickly begin working to make the needed changes.
32. Why did the nine young people sue the Germany government
A. They faced a higher rate of losing jobs.
B. The government refused their law suing.
C. They weren’t satisfied with the climate action law.
D. The local court ruled against the climate law.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The climate change will influence the young.
B. The adults nowadays are put under pressure.
C. Earth warming is becoming out of control.
D. Humans feel uncertain about the future.
34. What is the government required to do about the climate law
A. Take strict punishment measures. B. Win people’s wide support.
C. Improve the present law. D. Achieve carbon neutral in advance.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Business. B. Health. C. Education. D. Environment.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you'd like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.
●Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. 36
●Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes. 37 For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
●Always carry a book. 38 When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.
● 39 Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Do not lie down unless you're going to sleep. There should be no television or computer near the chair, and no music or noisy family members or roommates. If you don't have a place like this, create one.
●Reduce television or the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. 40 But remember: every minute you reduce of the Internet or TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.
Go to bookstores.
Find a quiet place.
This may be difficult for some people.
Wherever you go, take a book with you.
Have some good tea or coffee while you read.
It means you will read no matter how busy you are.
G. If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you'll really love.

Cleaning in your dreams
实锤来了：熬夜真的会变傻！
Just as our bodies produce waste every day – which is why we need to shower and use the toilet – our brains produce 56_____(harm) waste proteins. But how can our brains “shower” 57______(they)
A 2013 study found the answer. Researchers at the US University of Rochester studied the brains of mice and discovered that they cleaned themselves while the mice slept. A kind of fluid(液体) in the brain, 58_____(call) cerebral spinal fluid(脑脊液), was found to increase 59_____(dramatic) during sleep, 60_____(wash) away waste proteins that had been building up between brain cells in waking hours.
“This study shows that the brain has different functional states when asleep and when awake,” Maiken Nedergaard, the lead researcher, told NBC News. It also explains 61_____we can’t seem to think clearly after a sleepless night while a good night’s sleep leaves us feeling sharp and refreshed.
Now a new study, published on Oct 31 in Science, digs a little 62_____(deep) into our brains’ self-cleaning procedure. Instead of mice, this time humans were the test subjects.
Researchers at Boston University, US, monitored the brain waves of 13 healthy adults 63_____ were sleeping, using accelerated fMRI, which is capable of recording faster changes inside the brain than a regular fMRI machine. They found that every 20 seconds, blood flowed out of the brain, making room for a large amount of CSF to come in and “clean”. This cycle coincided with the rhythm of the brain’s slow waves – 64_____electrical activity that happens when we’re in deep sleep.
It’s still unknown how these brain activities are connected. But the mere fact that they are connected is exciting enough, since it allows researchers 65_____(piece) together possible new explanations for misunderstood diseases.
