A
Pick-your-own farms are set for a post-lockdown boom this summer, as people look to support local businesses and spend more time outdoors. Here are four of our favorites.
Parkside Farm, Enfield
Juicy blackberries, and strawberries are the stars of the show at this pick-your-own place on the northern edge of London. One key selling point is the “table-top” strawberry-growing system, which means plants are grown in places at waist height — no more bending down in the dirt to pick your berries. Parkside is also one of the few farms accessible without a car, as long as you don’t mind a walk — it’s 25 minutes from Gordon Hill station.
Craigie’s Farm, Scotland
Just outside Edinburgh, Craigie’s Farm is bursting with produce including cherries, peas, broad beans and, perhaps surprisingly, sunflowers. The onsite shop, deli and cafe have a lot more to offer besides fruits and vegetables — you can pick up homemade jams, meat, cheese and an apple press for making your own juice. There are activities for children too, including a Nature Detective Trail involving encounters with sheep and goats.
Hewitts Farm, Kent
This family-run farm in Kent offers everything from spinach to apples and blackberries during its pick-your-own season, which runs from June to October (for Halloween pumpkins). There’s also a shop selling farm-grown and local produce, as well as free tractor rides for youngsters on Sundays during the summer.
Bellis Brothers Farm, Wrexham
This farm in North Wales started growing strawberries back in 1860 and has operated as a pick-your-own since 1967. More fruits have been added since then, but it’s still mostly known for its strawberries. Pickers can download Bellis family strawberry recipes from the farm’s website, including those for jams and a baked strawberry cheesecake.
21. Which of the following is TRUE about Parkside Farm
A. You can enjoy sunflowers in the sunshine.
B. You can pick berries without bending down.
C. You need not worry about getting dirty on the farm.
D. You must drive there due to its long distance from the station.
22. Which place is recommended if visitors want farm-grown and local produce
A. Parkside Farm. B. Craigie’s Farm.
C. Hewitts Farm. D. Bellis Brothers Farm.
23. In which part of the magazine can you probably find this passage
A. Business. B. Books. C. Sports. D. Travel.
B
As a child I was one of the 125 people at our family gathering for New Year. These days we were a much smaller group in Belle Valley, Ohio. I insisted on acting as hostess and wanted to bring back the joy I’d felt at my childhood New Year that filled with love.
As family members arrived at the hall, I handed each one of them a numbered card and said, “Time for the alphabet (字母) game.” “What kind of game is that ” one of my great-grandchildren asked. “Well,” I said, “who’s got number one ” A cousin raised her hand. “Tell us something you never forget,” I said. “Something that begins with the letter A.” My cousin smiled. “Apple pie!” she said. Great-granddaughter Mindy was next. “B,” she said. “I am impressed by Buckeye Country.” “Cookies!” Number 3 shouted.
Until Number 17, “The next one’s a challenge,” I said. “Who’s got 17 ” Ryan, my son, slowly raised his hand. “Q,” he said. “Quaker City Carnival (嘉年华).” The room went silent. “It’s one of the oldest traditions in Ohio,” Ryan said. “Grandma and Grandpa met there. That’s where they fell in love. That’s where this whole thing started. This whole family.” Ryan looked around the room, making eye contact with everyone. “We wouldn’t be here celebrating New Year together if it wasn’t for Quaker City Carnival.”
The room burst into laughter and was full of love. “This is the best New Year we’ve ever had,” a great-grandson said to me secretly. Whatever their New Year would look like when they grew up, they’d remember this one. And for me, I had an unforgettable New Year to treasure — a memory where love started with the letter Q.
24. Why did the author want to organize the alphabet game
A. To enjoy the family gathering.
B. To act as the hostess of the New Year party.
C. To share moving stories with family.
D. To experience long-lost New Year happiness.
25. Based on the game rule, which word will you give if you get number 23
A. Teddy Bear. B. Yogurt. C. Steak. D. Watermelon.
26. Why did Ryan’s story get family members’ laughter
A. They understood the meaning of love.
B. They knew their grandparents better.
C. It was connected with their family roots.
D. It brought a tradition back to them.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Letter Full of Love B. A Traditional New Year Game
C. A Family Custom at New Year D. A Love Story About the Carnival
C
Why are some people more motivated (积极的) to handle difficult things And is there a way to make doing difficult things easy To answer this question, we need to look at this: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is often considered a pleasure molecule (分子). But that’s not quite what it does. Dopamine is what makes us desire things. And it’s that desire that gives us the motivation to get up and do things.
In fact, your brain considers something more important than others mainly depending on how much dopamine it’s expecting to get. If an activity releases too little dopamine, you won’t have much motivation to do it. But if an activity releases a lot of dopamine, you’ll be motivated to repeat it, over and over. So which behavior releases dopamine Any activity where you expect there’s a possible reward releases it.
And in today’s digital society, we are flooding our brains with unnaturally high amounts of dopamine on a daily basis, even if we don’t know it. Some examples of high dopamine behavior include: visiting social media websites, playing video games, etc.
And you might think, “Oh so what It’s not like it’s harming me in any way.” But you’d be wrong. Our bodies have a biological system called homeostasis (体内动态平衡). Whenever an imbalance occurs, our body adapts to it. Basically your brain gets used to having high levels of dopamine and those levels become your new normal. Thus you develop a dopamine tolerance. This can be a huge problem because the things that don’t give you as much dopamine don’t interest you any longer. That’s why people tend to prefer playing video games or surfing the Internet, compared to studying or working on their business.
But it is possible to make doing difficult things feel easier. Separate yourself from the unnaturally high amounts of dopamine, or at least expose yourself to it far less frequently. Only then will normal, everyday, low dopamine activities become exciting again and you’ll be able to do them for longer. That’s why you might want to limit your phone and computer usage, along with other high dopamine-releasing behavior.
We are all dopamine addicts (入迷的人) to a certain extent. And that’s a good thing because dopamine motivates us to achieve our goals and improve ourselves. But it’s up to you to decide where you’re going to get your dopamine. Are you going to get it from things that don’t benefit you Or are you going to get it from working on your long-term goals The choice is yours.
28. When is dopamine released
A. When difficult things come into being.
B. When we take pleasure in the behavior.
C. When possible rewards can be obtained.
D. When we have the motivation to do things.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Dopamine does great harm to our body.
B. It’s hard for our body to keep the balance.
C. Dopamine tolerance keeps us away from games.
D. Video games produce more dopamine than study.
30. What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph
A. To explain why dopamine is harmful.
B. To introduce the effects of dopamine.
C. To offer solutions to dopamine tolerance.
D. To stress the importance of dopamine.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward dopamine
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Negative.
D
Farmers and hunters are calling for an extension (延期) to the Victorian duck hunting season, saying certain species are doing great harm to crops and waterways and need to be controlled. This season runs from 8:00 am today and will end in 20 days, down from the usual 12 weeks, with a bag limit of five listed game ducks per day.
Wayne Shields grows leafy greens on the Mornington Peninsula and he said the decision to reduce the duck hunting season would take its toll on farmers. “The wood ducks are the ones causing all of the damage; the black ducks are no problem around here. The wood ducks come in at night and they just clean me out completely and they’ve done it a number of times over a number of years,” he said.
Mr. Shields and his wife, Natasha, run Peninsula Fresh Organics and he said there was nothing he could do to stop the invasion (入侵). “I nearly went broke a few years ago. Back then I was planting 10,000 lettuce (生菜) a week and they would quite happily eat 10,000 lettuce a week.” Due to the damage caused by the wood ducks, Mr. Shields said there should be a year-round open season on the wood ducks and farmers should be allowed to shoot birds.
Professor Richard Kingsford, Director of the Centre for Ecosystem Science at UNSW, said although the wood ducks ate crops, extending the duck season may not achieve what farmers wanted. He is calling on the government to invest more in research to address the threat certain species of waterbirds caused for some farmers, so other nonlethal (非致命的) ways to destroy the birds can be found.
How is this year’s duck hunting season different
A. It is put off. B. It is cut short.
C. It is about five species. D. It takes place mainly on farms.
33. What does the underlined part “take its toll on” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Make way for. B. Keep an eye on.
C. Cause damage to. D. Take control of.
34. What did Mr. Shields experience several years ago
A. The invasion of the black ducks.
B. The difficulty of keeping business.
C. The negative influence of the hunting season.
D. The daytime trouble caused by the wood ducks.
35. What does Richard Kingsford suggest about the wood ducks
A. Scientifically managing them.
B. Encouraging hunters to catch them.
C. Extending the duck hunting season.
D. Using deadly ways to drive them away.

阅读下面材料，根据题干要求回答问题。
When I was a little girl, I spent memorable holidays with my grandmother, who lived in a small village. She was a farmer with a stooped (弯曲的) back that made it seem like she was always leaning forward to examine something. Early in the morning, she would tie a cloth around her waist and set out to the farm. I would skip breathlessly alongside, trying to keep up. On our way, she would greet everyone we passed.
There was the standard greeting, “Did you wake up on the right foot this morning ” Then, the more personalized greetings. To Patriarch Kosi who sat under the mango tree, she would ask, “Are the grandchildren in good health ” To the Bean Stew Seller who was preparing to serve breakfast, she would inquire, “Are your boys well ”
Sometimes, the greetings were spoken soothingly (安慰地). When we walked past the widow, Dada Mawusi, many months after her husband’s death, Grandmother would say directly, “How is your grieving ” She didn’t like to beat around the bush. The greeting made more sense to her to acknowledge the woman’s suffering, and in doing so, empathize (理解) with her.
The people that Grandmother greeted would respond similarly. “I see you have your granddaughter with you today. How is her father ” or “I see you have woken up before the cock’s crow today. May it be a fruitful day at the farm.” As a young girl, I thought these greetings were unnecessarily time-consuming. What I now realize is that the greetings increased a sense of belonging. My grandmother taught me that there is always time to greet someone before getting down to business. You can always take a few extra seconds to say a greeting to a person. We enrich our society when we acknowledge the unique presence of one another.

【答案】
In her grandmother’s small village.
Trying to keep up with her grandmother.
She liked to come to the main point directly.
She thought they were a waste of time.
Because greeting neighbors can not only show our friendliness but also help build a harmonious atmosphere in the neighborhood.
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小的时候，她和住在一个小村庄的奶奶度过了难忘的假期。这次经历让作者后来意识到看似浪费时间的问候，实际上会给人一种归属感。当我们承认彼此的独特存在时，我们的社会就丰富了。
1．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“When I was a little girl, I spent memorable holidays with my grandmother, who lived in a small village.(当我还是个小女孩的时候，我和住在一个小村庄的奶奶度过了难忘的假期)”可知，作者年轻时在她祖母的小村庄里度假。故答案为In her grandmother’s small village.
2．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“I would skip breathlessly alongside, trying to keep up.(我气喘吁吁地在旁边跳着，试图跟上)”可知，试图跟上她的祖母让作者感到气喘吁吁。故答案为Trying to keep up with her grandmother.
3．考查词句猜测。根据文章第三段“When we walked past the widow, Dada Mawusi, many months after her husband’s death, Grandmother would say directly, “How is your grieving ” She didn’t like to beat around the bush. (当我们走过那位名叫Dada mawisi的寡妇时，她的丈夫已经去世好几个月了，祖母会直接问：“你怎么了？”她不喜欢拐弯抹角)”可推知，祖母不喜欢拐弯抹角，她喜欢直接切入主题。故答案为She liked to come to the main point directly.
4．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“Sometimes, the greetings were spoken soothingly (安慰地).()”最后一段“As a young girl, I thought these greetings were unnecessarily time-consuming.(作为一个年轻的女孩，我认为这些问候是不必要的时间)”可知，作者在年轻时认为这位问候是浪费时间。故答案为She thought they were a waste of time.
5．开放性试题。只要言之有理有据即可。根据最后一段“You can always take a few extra seconds to say a greeting to a person. We enrich our society when we acknowledge the unique presence of one another.(你总是可以多花几秒钟的时间向一个人打招呼。当我们承认彼此的独特存在时，我们的社会就丰富了)”可推知，问候邻居是很重要的，因为问候邻居不仅可以显示我们的友好，也有助于在邻里间建立和谐的气氛。故答案为Because greeting neighbors can not only show our friendliness but also help build a harmonious atmosphere in the neighborhood.
One possible version
Dear John,
Sorry to hear that you have trouble getting on well with your new classmates and I understand your feelings. Try the following suggestions.
Firstly, keep in mind that any good relationship is based on understanding, trust and respect. If we respect others and treat them sincerely, we are sure to gain their respect in return. Besides, regular and honest communication plays a significant role in keeping a healthy relationship. When faced with some problems with your classmates, you should calm down, explain your feelings clearly and address your problems together.
Hope my suggestions will be helpful. Good luck with your new relationship with others!
Yours,
Li Hua
