Follow this four-day route, and you’ll lose yourself in the wizard world of Harry Potter.
Day 1 Overview Edinburgh
It was in Scotland’s capital city that J. K. Rowling started to plot the adventures of Harry and his pals. With stoned streets, winding alleys and medieval(中世纪的) architecture, the city certainly has a few things in common with the settings from the books and films. She wrote the early chapters in various cafes around the city’s Old Towns.
Day 2 Overview travel to Fort William
Travel by train from Edinburgh to Glasgow. From there, you can take the West Highland Line to Fort William. This is a great way to see some famous spots from the window, including the mysterious Rannoch Moor, the place where Death Eaters board the train in the movie Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
Day 3 Overview all aboard the Hogwarts Express
Witness the sweeping cinematic scenery of the movie Harry Potter by booking a seat on the Jacobite Steam Train. Stop for lunch in Mallaig and then make the return journey to Fort William. Please be sure to book the steam train in advance, as it is very popular. By the way, it runs seasonally.
Day4 Overview lakes and glens( 峡谷)
In the films, mysterious, misty landscapes frame the background of Harry’s tale, so it’s no surprise that the film producers chose the Highlands for many scenes. Spend a day wandering through some of these beautiful spots and feel the magical atmosphere.
1．Where did J. K. Rowling create Harry Potter at first
A．In Edinburgh. B．In Mallaig. C．In Glasgow. D．In Fort William.
2．What should you pay attention to if taking the Jacobite Steam Train
A．Reviewing the movie. B．Booking tickets in advance.
C．Bringing lunch ahead of time. D．Buying one-way ticket specially.
3．In which section of a newspaper will you read the text
A．Current Affairs. B．Technology. C．Tours. D．Biography.

English is the most widely spoken language in the world. And of the roughly 1.5 billion speakers globally, the vast majority speak it as a second language. So where are the world’s best non-native English speakers According to a new report by EF Education First, an international education company, Northern Europeans are the most fluent. Middle Easterners are the least proficient (精通的).
The index (指数) is based on the results of a free online test taken by 2.3 million volunteers in 100 countries. Nearly six in ten of this year’s test-takers were female. Women have always performed better than men, but this year men closed the gap somewhat.
In Europe, the powerhouse economies perform surprisingly badly: only Germany makes the top place of “very high proficiency” countries. France is next, while Spain and Italy are continuously falling behind. A study by a Spanish research institute reported the bad news: 60% of adults say they speak no English at all. The fact that Spanish is a global language in its own right (the language declares 400 million native speakers) is probably the cause. If you speak Danish, you need another language to take part in global culture; speaking French or Spanish (or Arabic) means hundreds of millions of people to talk to without English.
Asia is the region of greatest diversity (多样性). Only Singapore makes the top level, but the Philippines, Malaysia, and India are not far behind. China is further back but still in the second level, a few places ahead of Japan. Struggling in the bottom places are a group of South-East and Central Asian countries like Cambodia and Kyrgyzstan. This relates with another factor: the company repeatedly finds that English skills are highly related with connections and openness to the rest of the world.
4．Which is the best title for the text
A．Where are the world’s most non-native English speakers
B．Where are the fewest non-native English speakers
C．Where are the world’s best non-native English speakers
D．Where are the last non-native English speakers
5．What can we know about the online test
A．Half of this year’s test-takers were female.
B．Nearly 1.38 million of this year’s test-takers were female.
C．Women and men equally performed this year.
D．The gap between female and male is getting close year by year.
6．Why 60% of Spanish adults say they speak no English at all
A．Spanish is a global language itself. B．400 million Spanish speak English.
C．Spanish is easy to understand. D．English fails to attract them.
7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Asia is the region with the best non-native English speakers.
B．China is the second place with the best non-native English speakers.
C．Countries in South-East and Central Asian are less open in Asia.
D．Countries in South-West and Central Asian line in the bottom places.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my “secret sharer”, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos: the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a brush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous(奇迹)” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
8．The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A．encourage him to do more walking B．let him spend a meaningful summer
C．help cure him of his reading problem D．make him learn more about weapons
9．The book caught the author’s eye because________.
A．it reminded him of his own dog B．he found its title easy to understand
C．it contained pretty pictures of animals D．he liked children’s stories very much
10．Why could the author manage to read the book through
A．He was forced by his mother to read it.
B．He identified with（对某事有同感） the story in the book.
C．The book told the story of his pet dog.
D．The happy ending of the story attracted him.
11．Which one could be the best title of the passage
A．My Passion for Reading B．Mum’s Strict Order
C．Reunion with My Beagle. D．The Charm of a Book.
D
Do you want to live another 100 years or more Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what was possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life ” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
12．By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”, Michael Zey means_________.
A．they have got some ideas about living forever
B．they believe that there is no limit of living
C．they are able to make people live past the present life span
D．they are sure to find the truth about long living
13．Donald Louria’s attitude towards long living is that________.
A．the human body is designed to last past about 120 years
B．it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
C．it is still doubtful how long humans can live
D．people can live from 120 to 180
14．The underlined word“it”(in Paragraph 4)refers to________.
A．a great effort B．the conservative estimate
C．the idea of living from 200 to 300 years D．the idea of living beyond the present life span
15．What would be the best title for this text
A．No Limit for Human Life B．Living Longer or not
C．Science, Technology and Long Living D．Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living
