Four Dog-Friendly Vacation Spots to Explore
Vacations mean family time and if you are a pet parent, there’s no reason why you can’t take your dog with you. There are four dog-friendly vacation destinations in the US.
Portland, Oregon
This city has pet-friendly trails (小径) and 34 dog parks and one of the most popular dog parks is located in Mt Tabor Park. After playing with the other dogs, you and your fur baby can walk to the top of an inactive volcano and appreciate the view of the city and afterwards, you can have a picnic at the nearby reservoir.
Bar Harbor, Maine
This island town may be small in size but is very close to Acadia National Park. There are trails for you and your dog to hike and you can drive the Scenic Park Loop Road to the top of Cadillac Mountain for a breathtaking view. Dogs are welcome on the park buses and also on buses in the town.
Austin, Texas
The city is open to pets as well as dozens of restaurants. The Austin Terrier serves dog-themed sandwiches and pizza. You and your dog can go on a hike or bike ride on the 10-mile trail at Lady Bird Lake or you can rent a kayak (皮划艇) if your dog doesn’t mind getting wet. Just outside the city, you can explore the woods at the Barton Creek Greenbelt Preserve.
Sedona, Arizona
In Sedona, you can visit Slide Rock State Park, a 43-acre space located just outside the city limits. Most of Sedona’s hiking trails allow dogs, so do campgrounds in the area. If you want to stay in the city, you can visit the dog park which has separate areas for small, large and senior dogs to play off leash (狗绳).
21．Where will you go if you want to walk to the top of an inactive volcano with your dog
A．Sedona, Arizona. B．Austin, Texas. C．Bar Harbor, Maine. D．Portland, Oregon.

When I was forced to put up with my son’s sense of humor, which included turning every word he read onto his family members, the search was on. Could I, as a supportive and patient parent I attempt to be, find a right book for my son A book that encourages my son to tell a joke that won’t have his mouth washed out with soap I had to admit I wasn’t confident.
Now, I have a book Jake the Fake Keeps It Real at hand. In fact, Jake is not a perfect kid. The first book in the series, Jake the Fake Keeps It Real, opens with Jake’s explaining how he cheated on the admission of an arts and music academy for gifted kids.
So when Jake realizes that to fit in at art school, he has to come up with some strange ideas, I almost died laughing. Not only did I think that was funny, so did my son. As a matter of fact, Jake the Fake Keeps It Real turned out to be a great distraction (使人分心的事物) from my son’s being disrespectfully funny. And I would rather my son imitate Jake by chewing (咀嚼) the same piece of gum for six hours and then writing a play about it.
I succeeded in one thing: Finding a fittingly funny role model for my son.
The end of the book, chapter 13, where Jake, no-talented, has to perform in the school talent show (obviously if you blow it, you have to quit school and work on a fishing boat). Jake sits down at the piano and knows he can’t do it, so he stands up from the piano.
Here’s where the book really wins my son’s heart for life, because maybe one day, my son might say, as Jake says after his mother praises his talent show appearance and hugs him tightly, “She’s pretty cool sometimes, my mom.”
24．How did the author find her son’s humour
A．Suitable. B．Impolite. C．Interesting. D．Boring.
25．Who is Jake
A．A gifted kid. B．An honest boy. C．The author’s son. D．A character in a novel.
26．What does the underlined word “imitate” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Ignore. B．Defeat. C．Copy. D．Entertain.
27．What’s the possible result of Jake
A．He would be a good fisherman. B．He would devote himself to music.
C．He might ask his teacher to forgive him. D．He might be punished for his mistake.
C
The answer to traffic jams on the highways around airports could be electric air taxis. But this is not a futuristic dream. United Airlines is helping to make it a reality.
The carrier is ordering 200 electric air taxis, also called eVOTL planes, from Eve Air Mobility which designed vehicles for short distance—like going from city centers to airports—that can seat four passengers. The eVOTL planes take off and land like helicopters.
These vehicles that are due to be delivered in 2026 can fly from rooftop to rooftop. These types of vehicles are more environmental than using ground transportation. That’s because the air taxis use electric engines that have no carbon emissions (碳排放). This will reduce pollution and noise levels by 90 percent, according to United Airlines and Eve Air Mobility.
“Our agreement with Eve shows our confidence in the urban air mobility market and serves as another important step toward our goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” said Michael Leskinen, president of United Airlines Ventures. “We’ll get there not with empty gestures, but by taking the harder path of actually reducing the emissions from flying.” If the company meets its goal of reducing its carbon footprint to net zero, it will be the first US airline to do so.
This isn’t United’s first try for environmental protection. The company started using bio-fuel (生物燃料) in flights from Los Angeles in 2016. It was the first airline in the US to promise to significantly use bio-fuel and this could cut emissions by 60 percent. From baby steps to flying ones, this airline is working on its commitment to the environment. Hopefully this is just one part of a global commitment to green the airline industry.
28．How does the author introduce the takeoff and landing of eVOTL planes
A．By providing a long list. B．By using experts’ words.
C．By making a comparison. D．By referring to a news report.
29．What can we learn about the eVOTL planes
A．They make no noise when flying. B．They each can hold eight passengers.
C．They are designed for long distances. D．They are friendly to the environment.
30．What can be inferred about United Airlines
A．It promises to use bio-fuel in 2050. B．It has a pioneering spirit.
C．It stopped carbon emissions in 2016. D．It shows no interest in electric air taxis.
31．What might be the best title for the text
A．The Promising Future of Air Travel Is Seen Now
B．More Companies Are Developing Green Technologies
C．Electric Air Taxis Will Make Getting to the Airport Easy
D．Electric Air Taxis Will Be Put Into Wide Use in the Future
D
Edible (可食用的) cities are becoming increasingly popular around the world. In the city of Andernach, Germany, anyone who lives or happens to be in the town of 30,000 people is encouraged to pick and take whatever they want from the fruiting trees and bushes in the town center. The town, which sits in the Rhine River Valley, is among the growing number of edible cities across the globe. Since the start of the program in 2010, there is more than enough produce to go around every year regardless of whether someone grabs a single pear or a bag full of potatoes.
“People here are very proud when talking to others about our edible city,” shared Bettina Schneider, city team coordinator (协调员) for the Edible Cities Network in Andernach. “The land that was changed into fruiting gardens and orchards (果园) in Andernach was previously overgrown. But today the town is covered with peach, almond and pear trees.”
Andernach’s public gardens and orchards have also inspired other cities in Germany and throughout the European Union to follow suit. Today, the Edible Cities Network—a group of about 150 cities worldwide with fruit trees and vegetable gardens in public places for anyone to access free of charge—is funded by the European Commission.
“Public green natural spaces in cities are incredibly valuable, and even more so as temperatures rise and cities become more crowded,” said Ina S umel, a principal investigator for the Edible Cities Network. She explained that Edible Cities Network’s goal is to encourage people to get involved in their urban parks instead of only thinking of them as passive places.
Many cities in the United States have also started similar projects. There are public lands from Seattle to North Carolina where people are welcome to pick and take from fruiting trees and bushes.
32．What can people do in an edible city
A．Grow fruit trees and potatoes anywhere. B．Pick agricultural products on public land.
C．Go to any restaurant to enjoy food for free. D．Make a fortune by selling apples and peaches.
33．What is Andernach residents’ attitude toward their edible city
A．Favorable. B．Intolerant. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
34．What is the goal of the Edible Cities Network
A．To enable people to access fresh food. B．To make the cities cleaner and nicer.
C．To stop people from living a busy life. D．To involve people in their urban parks.
35．What is most likely to be discussed following the last paragraph
A．Some edible cities in America. B．Predictions about edible cities.
C．Evaluations about edible cities. D．People’s dependence on edible cities.

Spenser’s First Web
Spenser was a small black spider (蜘蛛). Like all of his brothers and sisters, he had eight legs to help him walk and run. He was now big enough to know how to move all his legs together and not trip over them. Spenser was getting bigger every day.
Today Spenser felt nervous. It was time for him to learn to spin (织) a web on his own. He had watched his mother build beautiful, soft webs from the silk she made herself. His mother’s webs were lovely. They took a long time to make, and in the morning, they were covered with drops of dew that made them look like castles.
“OK, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “It’s time to spin your first web. Let’s begin by making a big plus sign.” Ms. Spinney was Spenser’s teacher. She was old and small but very strong. She quickly used her silk to make a plus sign between two nearby leaves.
Spenser was able to make silk, but he had trouble attaching it to anything. No matter how hard he tried, the threads (丝) slipped away and fell to the ground. Spenser tried hard, but he was getting tired.
“Take a break, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “You’re trying very hard, but I can see that you’re getting frustrated (沮丧的).”
“I’m not frustrated!” said Spenser. “I’m mad that I’m not good at it, and I’m sad that I can’t do it.” Spenser felt like he was going to cry.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；

M: Three nights.
(Text 2)
M: It’s almost one o’clock. I’m going out to get a sandwich. I can get one for you, too, if you like.
W: That’s very kind of you. Could you get me a cup of coffee, too I have to finish this report.
(Text 3)

M: Hello, I would like to sign up for some fitness classes.
W: Great! What would you like to do We have a lot of classes, yoga, boxing, and...
(Text 5)
M: I don’t see the value of these paintings. They look like the kind of pictures my four year old daughter paints.
W: I agree. I would never put them in my house.
(Text 6)
W: Hey, Sean. I hear you moved home last week. Congratulations!
M: Thanks. It’s a smaller place than I was in, though. And it’s more expensive.
W: But don’t you find it’s more convenient to be in the city
M: Yes, that’s why I moved. I love the countryside, but it used to take 40 minutes to get here on the train.
Now I walk to work!
(Text 7)
W: Hold on a minute, Dad. Didn’t we walk by those two trees about an hour ago
M: Hm. Yes, I’m afraid we did.
W: Oh, no! We’ve gone so far into the forest.
M: Stay calm, Gina. I know how to get out. When I was young, your grandpa taught me that if I was ever lost in the forest, I should just walk downhill. As long as you’re going downhill, sooner or later you’ll find a village or town where you can ask people for help.
W: That makes sense. But which way is down It’s hard to tell when there are trees everywhere.
M: Well, there’s a river over there. Have you ever seen water flows uphill
(Text 8)
M: How quickly time passes! It seems like only yesterday that my son Jason was born, and now he’s 20 and about to leave us. He’s got a job in Spain, so he’s moving there.
W: My son Richard’s the same. He’s 21, and he looks very much like his dad now. He also has the same character as his dad.
M: Did he move out
W: Yes, Richard’s already left home. We only see him several times a year.
M: It’s sad when your dearest ones move away. Our daughter lives in the US, and we hardly ever see her. It’s hard not being able to visit your own children often.
W: Yes. But then, you know, our family always prefer being independent. We never live in each other’s pockets. I think it’s a good quality.
(Text 9)
M: Did you see that quiz show on Channel 5 last night
W: No. Was it any good
M: It was great. Charles Hamilton always makes me laugh. He’s good at presenting this show anyway.
W: Sounds good. I’ll see what this quiz show’s like. When is it on
M: It’s on at 8:00 pm every Friday. I’m sure you will like it.
W: So are all the questions really easy and just about pop music and movies
M: No, they’re general knowledge questions. Actually, they start off a bit easy but they get harder and harder as the show goes on. You have to really think about them. The last few ones are really challenging.
W: Usually I’m not bad at general knowledge questions—especially ones about history or literature. I shouldn’t have much of a problem.
M: Great. I’m good at maths and science. We should have a quiz at school some time. Maybe I can ask Mr. Kingsley, my geography teacher, to organize it. I’m sure he could get quite a few other people to take part, too.
W: That sounds like fun.
(Text 10)
M: OK, everyone. It’s just before nine, so we should be at our first stop very shortly—Windsor Castle. A few reminders: Entry into the castle is included in your tour ticket, so stick with me when we get off the coach. I’ll get you straight in. You’ll have almost two hours to look around. Remember, we’ll meet back at 10:50 at the same place we drop you off at—just outside the visitor center. At 11 o’clock, we’ll watch the Changing the Guard Ceremony. Then at 11:30 we’re off to our next destination, Big Ben, where we’ll stop for an hour. That is enough time to walk around the place and get some good photos. Then this afternoon after lunch we’ll go to the lovely city of Bath. Today’s going to be a full day. Tomorrow morning, we will visit Stonehenge. Right. In just a few minutes we’ll be pulling up at the entrance, so make sure you have all your valuables with you. And please don’t be late getting back. If you have any problems, just call me.

31．C 标题判断题。根据第一段和第二段可知，解决机场周围高速公路交通堵塞的办法可能是电动的空中出租车，美联航订购了200架电动的空中出租车，用于从市中心到机场这段路。由此可推断，本文主要介绍了电动的空中出租车可以让到达机场变得轻松。
32．B 细节理解题。根据第一 段“In the city of Andernach, Germany, anyone who lives or happens to be in the town of 30,000 people is encouraged to pick and take whatever they want from the fruiting trees and bushes in the town center.”可知，人们可以在可食用城市的公共土地上采摘农产品。

第一节
One possible version:
A Lecture on Beijing Opera
A wonderful lecture was given by a well-known master of Beijing Opera, Mr. Ma, in the school lecture hall last Saturday morning, which aimed to help students have a better understanding of Beijing Opera.
The moment Mr. Ma started speaking, we were impressed by his clear voice. The lecture was filled with moving stories and live performances. All of us appreciated the priceless cultural tradition so much that two hours passed quickly.
The lecture was very meaningful and inspired us to learn more about Beijing Opera.
第二节
One possible version:
Ms. Spinney smiled kindly. “That’s what being frustrated feels like, Spenser,” she explained. “It’s OK to feel that way, as long as you don’t quit trying. Rest a bit and try again after lunch.” Spenser sat down in a shady spot to eat lunch. As he chewed his food, he began to feel calmer. He took a deep breath and spun just a little thread to attach to a nearby leaf. It stuck!
Spenser went back to his web-making spot to see if he could do it again. He closed his eyes and spun. This time the thread stayed where he put it on the leaves, and he was able to make his first plus sign. “Very good, Spenser!” said Ms. Spinney. “We’re out of time for today, but you can learn the next step tomorrow.” Spenser looked back at his plus sign. It wasn’t a whole web, but he didn’t care. He felt very proud.

A
Four Dog-Friendly Vacation Spots to Explore
Vacations mean family time and if you are a pet parent, there’s no reason why you can’t take your dog with you. There are four dog-friendly vacation destinations in the US.
Portland, Oregon
This city has pet-friendly trails (小径) and 34 dog parks and one of the most popular dog parks is located in Mt Tabor Park. After playing with the other dogs, you and your fur baby can walk to the top of an inactive volcano and appreciate the view of the city and afterwards, you can have a picnic at the nearby reservoir.
Bar Harbor, Maine
This island town may be small in size but is very close to Acadia National Park. There are trails for you and your dog to hike and you can drive the Scenic Park Loop Road to the top of Cadillac Mountain for a breathtaking view. Dogs are welcome on the park buses and also on buses in the town.
Austin, Texas
The city is open to pets as well as dozens of restaurants. The Austin Terrier serves dog-themed sandwiches and pizza. You and your dog can go on a hike or bike ride on the 10-mile trail at Lady Bird Lake or you can rent a kayak (皮划艇) if your dog doesn’t mind getting wet. Just outside the city, you can explore the woods at the Barton Creek Greenbelt Preserve.
Sedona, Arizona
In Sedona, you can visit Slide Rock State Park, a 43-acre space located just outside the city limits. Most of Sedona’s hiking trails allow dogs, so do campgrounds in the area. If you want to stay in the city, you can visit the dog park which has separate areas for small, large and senior dogs to play off leash (狗绳).
21．Where will you go if you want to walk to the top of an inactive volcano with your dog
A．Sedona, Arizona. B．Austin, Texas. C．Bar Harbor, Maine. D．Portland, Oregon.

C．It has a park that allows pet dogs to play freely. D．Its hiking trails are only open to human beings.

When I was forced to put up with my son’s sense of humor, which included turning every word he read onto his family members, the search was on. Could I, as a supportive and patient parent I attempt to be, find a right book for my son A book that encourages my son to tell a joke that won’t have his mouth washed out with soap I had to admit I wasn’t confident.
Now, I have a book Jake the Fake Keeps It Real at hand. In fact, Jake is not a perfect kid. The first book in the series, Jake the Fake Keeps It Real, opens with Jake’s explaining how he cheated on the admission of an arts and music academy for gifted kids.
So when Jake realizes that to fit in at art school, he has to come up with some strange ideas, I almost died laughing. Not only did I think that was funny, so did my son. As a matter of fact, Jake the Fake Keeps It Real turned out to be a great distraction (使人分心的事物) from my son’s being disrespectfully funny. And I would rather my son imitate Jake by chewing (咀嚼) the same piece of gum for six hours and then writing a play about it.
I succeeded in one thing: Finding a fittingly funny role model for my son.
The end of the book, chapter 13, where Jake, no-talented, has to perform in the school talent show (obviously if you blow it, you have to quit school and work on a fishing boat). Jake sits down at the piano and knows he can’t do it, so he stands up from the piano.
Here’s where the book really wins my son’s heart for life, because maybe one day, my son might say, as Jake says after his mother praises his talent show appearance and hugs him tightly, “She’s pretty cool sometimes, my mom.”
24．How did the author find her son’s humour
A．Suitable. B．Impolite. C．Interesting. D．Boring.
25．Who is Jake
A．A gifted kid. B．An honest boy. C．The author’s son. D．A character in a novel.
26．What does the underlined word “imitate” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Ignore. B．Defeat. C．Copy. D．Entertain.
27．What’s the possible result of Jake
A．He would be a good fisherman. B．He would devote himself to music.
C．He might ask his teacher to forgive him. D．He might be punished for his mistake.
C
The answer to traffic jams on the highways around airports could be electric air taxis. But this is not a futuristic dream. United Airlines is helping to make it a reality.
The carrier is ordering 200 electric air taxis, also called eVOTL planes, from Eve Air Mobility which designed vehicles for short distance—like going from city centers to airports—that can seat four passengers. The eVOTL planes take off and land like helicopters.
These vehicles that are due to be delivered in 2026 can fly from rooftop to rooftop. These types of vehicles are more environmental than using ground transportation. That’s because the air taxis use electric engines that have no carbon emissions (碳排放). This will reduce pollution and noise levels by 90 percent, according to United Airlines and Eve Air Mobility.
“Our agreement with Eve shows our confidence in the urban air mobility market and serves as another important step toward our goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” said Michael Leskinen, president of United Airlines Ventures. “We’ll get there not with empty gestures, but by taking the harder path of actually reducing the emissions from flying.” If the company meets its goal of reducing its carbon footprint to net zero, it will be the first US airline to do so.
This isn’t United’s first try for environmental protection. The company started using bio-fuel (生物燃料) in flights from Los Angeles in 2016. It was the first airline in the US to promise to significantly use bio-fuel and this could cut emissions by 60 percent. From baby steps to flying ones, this airline is working on its commitment to the environment. Hopefully this is just one part of a global commitment to green the airline industry.
28．How does the author introduce the takeoff and landing of eVOTL planes
A．By providing a long list. B．By using experts’ words.
C．By making a comparison. D．By referring to a news report.
29．What can we learn about the eVOTL planes
A．They make no noise when flying. B．They each can hold eight passengers.
C．They are designed for long distances. D．They are friendly to the environment.
30．What can be inferred about United Airlines
A．It promises to use bio-fuel in 2050. B．It has a pioneering spirit.
C．It stopped carbon emissions in 2016. D．It shows no interest in electric air taxis.
31．What might be the best title for the text
A．The Promising Future of Air Travel Is Seen Now
B．More Companies Are Developing Green Technologies
C．Electric Air Taxis Will Make Getting to the Airport Easy
D．Electric Air Taxis Will Be Put Into Wide Use in the Future
D
Edible (可食用的) cities are becoming increasingly popular around the world. In the city of Andernach, Germany, anyone who lives or happens to be in the town of 30,000 people is encouraged to pick and take whatever they want from the fruiting trees and bushes in the town center. The town, which sits in the Rhine River Valley, is among the growing number of edible cities across the globe. Since the start of the program in 2010, there is more than enough produce to go around every year regardless of whether someone grabs a single pear or a bag full of potatoes.
“People here are very proud when talking to others about our edible city,” shared Bettina Schneider, city team coordinator (协调员) for the Edible Cities Network in Andernach. “The land that was changed into fruiting gardens and orchards (果园) in Andernach was previously overgrown. But today the town is covered with peach, almond and pear trees.”
Andernach’s public gardens and orchards have also inspired other cities in Germany and throughout the European Union to follow suit. Today, the Edible Cities Network—a group of about 150 cities worldwide with fruit trees and vegetable gardens in public places for anyone to access free of charge—is funded by the European Commission.
“Public green natural spaces in cities are incredibly valuable, and even more so as temperatures rise and cities become more crowded,” said Ina S umel, a principal investigator for the Edible Cities Network. She explained that Edible Cities Network’s goal is to encourage people to get involved in their urban parks instead of only thinking of them as passive places.
Many cities in the United States have also started similar projects. There are public lands from Seattle to North Carolina where people are welcome to pick and take from fruiting trees and bushes.
32．What can people do in an edible city
A．Grow fruit trees and potatoes anywhere. B．Pick agricultural products on public land.
C．Go to any restaurant to enjoy food for free. D．Make a fortune by selling apples and peaches.
33．What is Andernach residents’ attitude toward their edible city
A．Favorable. B．Intolerant. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
34．What is the goal of the Edible Cities Network
A．To enable people to access fresh food. B．To make the cities cleaner and nicer.
C．To stop people from living a busy life. D．To involve people in their urban parks.
35．What is most likely to be discussed following the last paragraph
A．Some edible cities in America. B．Predictions about edible cities.
C．Evaluations about edible cities. D．People’s dependence on edible cities.

Spenser’s First Web
Spenser was a small black spider (蜘蛛). Like all of his brothers and sisters, he had eight legs to help him walk and run. He was now big enough to know how to move all his legs together and not trip over them. Spenser was getting bigger every day.
Today Spenser felt nervous. It was time for him to learn to spin (织) a web on his own. He had watched his mother build beautiful, soft webs from the silk she made herself. His mother’s webs were lovely. They took a long time to make, and in the morning, they were covered with drops of dew that made them look like castles.
“OK, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “It’s time to spin your first web. Let’s begin by making a big plus sign.” Ms. Spinney was Spenser’s teacher. She was old and small but very strong. She quickly used her silk to make a plus sign between two nearby leaves.
Spenser was able to make silk, but he had trouble attaching it to anything. No matter how hard he tried, the threads (丝) slipped away and fell to the ground. Spenser tried hard, but he was getting tired.
“Take a break, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “You’re trying very hard, but I can see that you’re getting frustrated (沮丧的).”
“I’m not frustrated!” said Spenser. “I’m mad that I’m not good at it, and I’m sad that I can’t do it.” Spenser felt like he was going to cry.

W: My son Richard’s the same. He’s 21, and he looks very much like his dad now. He also has the same character as his dad.
M: Did he move out
W: Yes, Richard’s already left home. We only see him several times a year.
M: It’s sad when your dearest ones move away. Our daughter lives in the US, and we hardly ever see her. It’s hard not being able to visit your own children often.
W: Yes. But then, you know, our family always prefer being independent. We never live in each other’s pockets. I think it’s a good quality.

M: Did you see that quiz show on Channel 5 last night
W: No. Was it any good
M: It was great. Charles Hamilton always makes me laugh. He’s good at presenting this show anyway.
W: Sounds good. I’ll see what this quiz show’s like. When is it on
M: It’s on at 8:00 pm every Friday. I’m sure you will like it.
W: So are all the questions really easy and just about pop music and movies
M: No, they’re general knowledge questions. Actually, they start off a bit easy but they get harder and harder as the show goes on. You have to really think about them. The last few ones are really challenging.
W: Usually I’m not bad at general knowledge questions—especially ones about history or literature. I shouldn’t have much of a problem.
M: Great. I’m good at maths and science. We should have a quiz at school some time. Maybe I can ask Mr. Kingsley, my geography teacher, to organize it. I’m sure he could get quite a few other people to take part, too.
W: That sounds like fun.

M: OK, everyone. It’s just before nine, so we should be at our first stop very shortly—Windsor Castle. A few reminders: Entry into the castle is included in your tour ticket, so stick with me when we get off the coach. I’ll get you straight in. You’ll have almost two hours to look around. Remember, we’ll meet back at 10:50 at the same place we drop you off at—just outside the visitor center. At 11 o’clock, we’ll watch the Changing the Guard Ceremony. Then at 11:30 we’re off to our next destination, Big Ben, where we’ll stop for an hour. That is enough time to walk around the place and get some good photos. Then this afternoon after lunch we’ll go to the lovely city of Bath. Today’s going to be a full day. Tomorrow morning, we will visit Stonehenge. Right. In just a few minutes we’ll be pulling up at the entrance, so make sure you have all your valuables with you. And please don’t be late getting back. If you have any problems, just call me.

第一节
One possible version:
A Lecture on Beijing Opera
A wonderful lecture was given by a well-known master of Beijing Opera, Mr. Ma, in the school lecture hall last Saturday morning, which aimed to help students have a better understanding of Beijing Opera.
The moment Mr. Ma started speaking, we were impressed by his clear voice. The lecture was filled with moving stories and live performances. All of us appreciated the priceless cultural tradition so much that two hours passed quickly.
The lecture was very meaningful and inspired us to learn more about Beijing Opera.
第二节
One possible version:
Ms. Spinney smiled kindly. “That’s what being frustrated feels like, Spenser,” she explained. “It’s OK to feel that way, as long as you don’t quit trying. Rest a bit and try again after lunch.” Spenser sat down in a shady spot to eat lunch. As he chewed his food, he began to feel calmer. He took a deep breath and spun just a little thread to attach to a nearby leaf. It stuck!
Spenser went back to his web-making spot to see if he could do it again. He closed his eyes and spun. This time the thread stayed where he put it on the leaves, and he was able to make his first plus sign. “Very good, Spenser!” said Ms. Spinney. “We’re out of time for today, but you can learn the next step tomorrow.” Spenser looked back at his plus sign. It wasn’t a whole web, but he didn’t care. He felt very proud.
