Four Best of British markets
Whether you’re looking for antiques, food, collectors’ items or just random junk, our rich heritage has produced some of the finest markets in the world. Here are four of them.
Edinburgh Farmers’ Market
Traders in Edinburgh have long sold their goods in the shadow of the city’s spectacular castle. It takes place on Castle Terrace every Saturday and attracts a huge crowd with its locally sourced goods. The market is now in its 15th year and champions the very best in Scottish produce.
Billingsgate Fish Market
This hub in the heart of the East End of London is the biggest inland market in Britain. Dating back to the 16th century, Billingsgate is now served by almost every UK port, with fish transported through the night to arrive for trading, which starts at 4 a.m.. It is famed for shifting 25,000 tons of fish each year.

An American teacher who helped make college education accessible to low-income, immigrant (移民), first-generation American, and refugee (难民) pupils has won the $1 million Global Teacher Prize. Keishia Thorpe, an English teacher in Maryland, was selected from more than 8,000 teachers in 121 countries.
“As a young girl from the circumstances that I come from, I would never have thought something like this would ever happen to me. I’m speechless, I’m overjoyed, I’m amazed. This is just an extraordinary achievement for me,” Ms. Thorpe said.
Ms. Thorpe teaches English to 12th-graders at the International High School Langley Park, where 95 percent of pupils are from low-income families. She redesigned their courses for the English department to make it culturally relevant to her pupils who are from mostly Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and South America. Since then, her English language learners have shown a 40 percent increase in their reading.
Ms. Thorpe spent a lot of time encouraging her pupils to apply for college and helped them with their applications and accessing fully-funded scholarships. She helped her senior pupils in 2018–2019 win more than $6.7 million in scholarships to 11 colleges, with most of them not having to pay for their education.
She plans to use the prize money to give less well-off pupils an opportunity of receiving a third level education. “Every person deserves the right to education and I want to be that person who champions ( 捍 卫 ) that for them. I plan to use the money to help students worldwide access higher education,” she said. “Students are the reason I’m here, so I plan to use that to promote them and create a better future for them.”
Organized by UNESCO and first awarded in 2015, the Global Teacher Prize is an annual award to a teacher who has made a vast difference to the profession. The winner of this year was announced at a virtual ceremony in Paris on November 10th, 2021.
24. How do Thorpe’s redesigned courses influence her students

D. More students apply for college education.
25. What can be learned about the Global Teacher Prize

C. It targets teachers with huge contributions.
D. It encourages reforms in English teaching.

With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation, can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future – that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero- emission ( 排 放 ) planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there.
Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile’s (汽车) existence more than a century ago. Almost overnight, the era of the electric car has arrived. Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise. Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one, but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being.
High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight.
Our planet’s health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and yet, by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge, the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow. Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air.
28. Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles
A. To reinvent the way we travel.
B. To cut the costs of car production.
C. To improve the quality of products.
D. To pursue sustainable development.
29. What do we know about the electric car
A. It came into use a century ago.
B. It enjoys increasing popularity.
C. It sells better than the traditional one.
D. It costs less than the gas-powered one.
30. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A. To show the disadvantages of battery power.
B. To emphasize the significance of short flights.
C. To stress the future prospects of electric planes.
D. To state the developments of commercial flight.
31. What does the author mean by saying “the train has left the station”
A. Train transportation has improved.
B. Green transportation is on its way.
C. The electric train is running regularly.
D. The gas-powered train has become the past.
D
Children may learn new words better when they learn them in the context of other words they are just learning – according to a new research from the University of East Anglia.
Researchers investigated how 18–24-month-olds learn new words – in the context of words they already know well and those they don’t. The findings help explain how children learn new words and suggest a new way that parents and carers could help boost language development.
Previous research suggests that when children hear a word they do not know and see an object they have never seen in the context of some objects that they can already name, such as a toy or a ball, they guess that the new word refers to the new thing.
Dr. Larissa Samuelson from the university wanted to know if the strength of a child’s knowledge of familiar things – how well they know what “cars” or “balls” are, for example – mattered for learning new words and remembering them. They asked 82 children to take part in the study and carry out two experiments among them. And then they got some really surprising findings.
“We had expected that a stronger knowledge of familiar words would be better for learning new words, but we found the opposite was true.” Dr Samuelson said. “This new study suggests another way we might be able to help boost children’s ability to remember new word-object links – by teaching them in the context of other things that they are just learning.”
It seems counterintuitive, but it is perhaps because the less well-known items don’t compete with the new words as much. If they learn new words in the context of playing with well-known items such as a ball or book, they don’t process the new word as much.
32. What is the purpose of the new research
A. To challenge the findings of previous studies.
B. To observe the process of children’s learning.
C. To better understand children’s word learning.
D. To compare children’s different learning styles.
33. What can be inferred from Dr. Samuelson’s words
A. Their findings are out of expectation.
B. Their research should focus on children.
C. We should be more patient with children.
D. We need to provide guidance on learning.
34. What does the underlined word “counterintuitive” mean in the last paragraph
A. Consistent. B. Encouraging. C. Impractical. D. Unreasonable.
35. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Less familiar words help children learn better.
B. Word-object links contribute to better learning.
C. New research finds the secrets of raising children.
D. Children learn better with the help of their parents.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Apple’s vitamin and mineral content, its easy availability, and its inexpensiveness are the reasons why it’s the second most-consumed fruit in the world. 36 But what about the calories and nutritional value in it Can we consume apples in endless numbers and still stay fit
A medium-sized apple contains up to 95 calories. However, the sugar content – about 19g – is still less than the 21g you get in a regular-sized chocolate bar. 37 The fiber present in fruits and vegetables helps control blood sugar levels naturally. It slows down digestion and stops the blood sugar levels from rising as they would after you consume candy.
Eating one medium-sized apple gives you your daily dose (量) of 14% vitamin A and 11% of vitamin C, both that your immune system needs the most. Antioxidants (抗氧化物) like vitamin A and C save the body from damage caused by unstable atoms. 38 If we consume darker apples more, we can get an antioxidant that protects the body from diseases and a good amount of indigestible fiber our gut’s (肠道的) good bacteria feed on, so it’s a win-win deal!
39 Consuming one or two apples on a daily basis is good for your health. But if you’re diabetic, you should restrict the consumption to not more than a small-sized apple a day as apples are a high-sugar fruit. If you stay alert and take a proper diet, your body will benefit a lot. But if you eat endlessly, even the healthiest food in the world would damage your body and increase the number of doctor visits. 40
A. So act smartly and stay safe.
B. How many apples can you eat in a day
C. Therefore, you should watch out for the food quality.
D. How can we guarantee that we will get this fruit continuously
E. Plus, this sugar is less harmful to your body since it comes with fibers.
F. They reduce the risks of illness and aging, giving you healthy and smooth skin.
G. Since it comes in many varieties and different tastes, people never get bored of it.

Daniel got a job as a delivery man to work his way through college. His parents couldn’t save up all the money he needed to get into law school, so since he was 15, he would take summer jobs and find some other jobs between studies to earn extra cash.
The boy was determined and every day he would wake up at 5 a.m., summer or winter, riding on his old bike to deliver parcels. It wasn’t an easy job, especially during winter. Besides that, his old bike was slow, making things harder. But that wasn’t a problem for Daniel.
Daniel’s schedule was always the same every day and people in the neighborhood already knew him.
He called them by their names, and they would often wave and greet him as he passed.
It was a normal day and Daniel was delivering parcels as usual. “Morning, Daniel! Check out my brand-new mountain bike!” called out a man whose home Daniel visited frequently. “Morning, Mr. Warren! That’s a really fancy bike!” Daniel screamed back at him as he rode towards his first delivery. He couldn’t help imagining what it would feel like to own a bike like the one Mr. Warren had just shown him. “My deliveries would double with that” he thought longingly.
Suddenly, Daniel lost balance and fell on the road. He got up and leaned the bike against the wall to see what had happened. He found a nail stuck in the back tire (轮胎) and he unluckily had a flat tire.
As he turned around and tried to think of what to do, he saw something unusual. A strange man Daniel had never seen before furtively (鬼鬼祟祟地) looked around and placed a package under his jacket. “Hey!” Daniel shouted at the man. “Hey there! What are you doing That’s not yours!” The man heard Daniel and started to run as fast as he could.
