Clifton College’s The English Experience
Location: Bristol Ages: 12 to 17
Fees (费用): 2 Weeks: 2740; 3 Weeks: 4110; 4 Weeks: 5480
Start Dates: 9, 16, 23, 30 July & 6, 13 August 2023
The English Experience challenges students while building their confidence in English and many other skills that are useful inside and outside the classroom. At the beginning of each week, students are put into small groups and given a complex problem to work through to find a solution and present it in their chosen way. Teachers are there to guide the students, which is why class sizes are 12 at most.
In the afternoons, students choose an elective (选修科目) to follow for 6 hours per week. These include such courses as news reporting, presentation skills, a Mini UN, and creative writing. Extra electives such as professional golf, tennis, and football coaching, as well as horse riding and exam preparation, lead to an additional cost.
Students go on two full-day excursions (短途旅行) per week. Mid-week excursions are planned around that week’s topic, so on the environmental week we go to a local environmental activity centre, while the theatre week involves a trip to a West End show with a drama workshop. Saturday excursions are more relaxed but still engaging, and include set time for shopping. Sunday excursions are shorter but also include an entrance to a local attraction.
1. What do we know about The English Experience
A. It has six different time periods. B. It admits 12 students at most.
C. It divides students into two groups. D. It only trains students’ English skills.
2. What will you have to do if you choose horse riding in the afternoon
A. Quit a full-day excursion. B. Try to learn it for 6 hours.
C. Pay some extra money. D. Choose another course.
3. Which will you choose if you hope to experience the week’s theme
A. Pre-week excursion. B. Mid-week excursion.
C. Saturday excursion. D. Sunday excursion.
Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2020.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine (内燃机) models a run for their money.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim (声称) to be completely emission-free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
4. The underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A. aim B. difficulty C. result D. step
5. Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past
A. They were very poorly made. B. They were not widely promoted.
C. They were expensive. D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.
6. What is the function of Paragraph 4
A. To introduce the history of electric travel.
B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.
D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
7. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Driving into a Cleaner Future B. History of Electric Cars
C. Problems with Petrol and Diesel Cars D. Best Means of Transportation
A Chinese girl Tan Fanglin overcame a world-class mathematics problem and was invited again to attend the World Laureates Forum when she was municating with 65 top scientists in the world, she became a rising star in this meeting of the world’s sharpest minds.
Her discovery has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions in China. However, Tan is not a “genius” in the traditional sense. Tan was born in a scholarly family. Her father was a professor of mathematics. Tan showed a high interest in mathematics when she was very young. She likes to find questions on her own. The more difficult the problem is, the more potential she will unlock. In this process, her father will only give proper guidance.
Tan took part in many research projects. So devoted to the projects, she once made serious mistakes during the exam at school. Instead of severely rebuking her, her parents let her find the problem by herself and achieve a better balance between textbook study and research. It was because of the respect and trust of her parents that Tan began to plan her study time scientifically and applied the learning methods summarized in the process of mathematics research to the classroom. With her hard work, she made great achievements in mathematics.
Attending this meeting enabled Tan to get more inspiration from the world’s top scientists. She even got the opportunity to talk with germ Miesenb ck, who is pioneering the field of Optogenetics (光遗传学). Miesenb c has encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does and said accepting failure is important to researchers. He has stressed that people all know that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb. Tan has met many difficulties in her research and often feels upset. The words have made her feel inspired.
8. What can we learn about Tan Fanglin
A. She went to the meeting with her father. B. She has a strong love for mathematics.
C. She never made mistakes in her school exams. D. She was invited to attend the Forum for the first time.
9. What does the underlined word “rebuking” in Paragraph 3 mean
A Helping. B. Challenging. C. Criticizing. D. Praising.
10. How did Tan’s parents help her with her research
A. By correcting her mistakes.
B. By offering extra training for her research.
C. By stressing the importance of scientific research.
D. By respecting her and encouraging her in self-development.
11. Which statement does germ Miesenb c probably agree with
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Nothing is impossible.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Failure is the mother of success.
When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone“has an accent“. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect , too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance,“ You got eat or not ”(meaning “Have you eaten ” ) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone.
Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
12. What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1
A. It reflects their self confidence.
B. It reflects their language levels.
C. It misses the point of communication.
D. It misses the real meaning of accents.
13. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English
A. To justify the use of dialects.
B. To show the diversity of dialects.
C. To correct a grammatical mistake.
D. To highlight a traditional approach.
14. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph
A. Learn to speak with your local dialect.
B. Seek for an official definition of accents.
C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D. Distinguish our local languages from others’.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards accent
A. Favourable B. Intolerant
C. Doubtful D. Unclear

Dear Helen,
I am not quite myself this term. I am under pressure from both my friends and study. One of my classmates named Danny doesn’t like me.
He speaks ill of me behind my back every now and then, so many classmates don’t like me. I am not feeling good every time I walk into the classroom. I sometimes prefer to stay at home to avoid students’ eye sights.
It bothers me so much that I can’t focus on my study. I did a bad job in my mid-term examination. I failed in my poor subject Maths and even get a low mark on my advantaged subject English.
I am such a loser both in interpersonal relationship and study. With no courage to face my classmates, I don’t want to go to school. What should I do
Yours sincerely,
Ben

六、书面表达
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文.
When coming to this city for high school, I moved into the new house with my parents. We were very grateful to the owner for renting us this house at a cheap price. The house was really comfortable to live in. It was warm inside and full of life outside.
A tree in the front yard attracted my attention, and all I could confirm was that it was a fruit tree. My father thought it was a fig(无花果) tree, and sure enough, as the months went by, the tree grew huge leaves and finally bore the fruit—figs, the size of my fist. How wonderful they were! I took many pictures of the fig tree. And then we wondered how to deal with the figs. My mother thought for a while and said, “Why not try making fig jam ” I responded quickly, “That’s a good idea!”
Jack, one of our neighbors, just visited us and asked if he could pick some figs from our tree. Certainly, we encouraged him to take as many as he liked. In fact, Jack was extremely polite and friendly to us. He introduced himself at the first sight of us. He always waved to me as he came home or as he left for work.
When I picked the figs with him, he told me about how he had been living in the house next door for close to twenty years. He said, “Bruce, the owner of the house you live in now, used to be my best friend. And we had planted this very fig tree a few years before he went to the nursing home.” I was amazed to know that we actually enjoyed the fruit of his work. He told me that he was so impressed by the quality of the fruit this year. I found a fruit box for him to put the figs in. Both of us enjoyed the pleasure of sharing.
When Jack set out for his home, I turned to my parents and advised doing something in return for Jack and Bruce’s kindness and friendliness.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.

【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” —drivers concerns about running out of electricity on a journey.(电动汽车被广泛采用的一个hurdle是“里程焦虑”——驾驶者担心在旅途中电量耗尽)”可知，“驾驶员担心在旅途中耗尽电能”是电动汽车的缺点，这是电动汽车普及的一个“障碍，难关”。故划线词意思是“困难”。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Not that long ago, electric cars met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. (不久前，电动汽车遭遇了不信任，高昂的价格让消费者望而却步)”可知，过去很多人拒绝购买电动汽车是因为人们认为电动车太贵了不值得买。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.(除了在公路上的发展，电动汽车正在走向海洋和天空。电动船是最古老的电动旅行方式之一，从19世纪末到20世纪初，在汽油动力的舷外发动机接管之前，它已经流行了几十年。现在，全球对可再生能源的推动正在使电动船回归。电动航空旅行也正在取得进展，空中客车公司和美国国家航空航天局等组织正在开发和测试电池驱动的飞机。这些实验可能很快使商业电动飞行成为现实)”可知，电动交通工具以不同的方式出现在陆路，海上及空中。由此推知，第四段的作用是描述电动交通工具的不同的用途。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2020.(现在我们道路上的车辆大多是汽油和柴油汽车，但它们的日子不会持续太久了。最近的一项大学研究发现，目前电动汽车可以用于美国87%的日常汽车旅行。到2020年，这一数字可能上升到98%)”和第四段“As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies.(除了在公路上的发展，电动汽车正在走向海洋和天空)”结合文章主要介绍了汽油和柴油汽车虽然仍然主宰着我们的道路，但很快会被电动车辆所替代。电动汽车不产生任何排放物，随着在陆路方面的进步，电动汽车正朝着海洋和天空方向发展，而未来的车辆一定是电动时代。故A项“驶入更清洁的未来”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
A Chinese girl Tan Fanglin overcame a world-class mathematics problem and was invited again to attend the World Laureates Forum when she was municating with 65 top scientists in the world, she became a rising star in this meeting of the world’s sharpest minds.
Her discovery has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions in China. However, Tan is not a “genius” in the traditional sense. Tan was born in a scholarly family. Her father was a professor of mathematics. Tan showed a high interest in mathematics when she was very young. She likes to find questions on her own. The more difficult the problem is, the more potential she will unlock. In this process, her father will only give proper guidance.
Tan took part in many research projects. So devoted to the projects, she once made serious mistakes during the exam at school. Instead of severely rebuking her, her parents let her find the problem by herself and achieve a better balance between textbook study and research. It was because of the respect and trust of her parents that Tan began to plan her study time scientifically and applied the learning methods summarized in the process of mathematics research to the classroom. With her hard work, she made great achievements in mathematics.
Attending this meeting enabled Tan to get more inspiration from the world’s top scientists. She even got the opportunity to talk with germ Miesenb ck, who is pioneering the field of Optogenetics (光遗传学). Miesenb c has encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does and said accepting failure is important to researchers. He has stressed that people all know that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb. Tan has met many difficulties in her research and often feels upset. The words have made her feel inspired.
8. What can we learn about Tan Fanglin
A. She went to the meeting with her father. B. She has a strong love for mathematics.
C. She never made mistakes in her school exams. D. She was invited to attend the Forum for the first time.
9. What does the underlined word “rebuking” in Paragraph 3 mean

He has stressed that people all know that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb.( Miesenb c鼓励她不要对自己做的事情失去热情和热爱，并表示接受失败对研究人员很重要。他强调，人们都知道，即使是托马斯·爱迪生在最终发明灯泡之前也经历了数百次不成功的尝试。)”可知，Miesenbock通过举爱迪生的例子鼓励谈方琳要敢于接受失败，永不放弃，由此可以推出，他认为失败是成功之母。故选D项。
When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone“has an accent“. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect , too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance,“ You got eat or not ”(meaning “Have you eaten ” ) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone.
Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
12. What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1
A. It reflects their self confidence.
B. It reflects their language levels.
C. It misses the point of communication.
D. It misses the real meaning of accents.
13 Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English
A. To justify the use of dialects.
B. To show the diversity of dialects.
C. To correct a grammatical mistake.
D. To highlight a traditional approach.
14. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph
A. Learn to speak with your local dialect.
B. Seek for an official definition of accents.
C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D. Distinguish our local languages from others’.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards accent
A. Favourable B. Intolerant
C. Doubtful D. Unclear
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了每个人都有口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。语言差异可以帮助人们洞察他人的文化经历和背景，因此我们要欣赏口音和方言的价值。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point. (当我向一些朋友提到我们都有口音时，他们中的大多数人都自豪地回答说：“好吧，我的英语/汉语等都说得很好。”但这种说法没有切中要害。)”可知，作者认为他/她的朋友忽略了口音的真正含义。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三自然段“The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different (根据新加坡英语使用者扎实的语法体系，这个句子结构良好，沟通清晰。为什么仅仅因为它不同就应该是错误的？)”可知，作者认为不能因为它不同就认为它是错的。所以作者使用新加坡口语的例子是在为使用方言进行辩护。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. (像这样的语言差异可以洞察人们的文化经历和背景。在一个全球化的时代，一个人说话的方式是一个人身份的一个独特部分。大多数人都乐于谈论他们演讲背后的文化。我们会更多地了解我们生活的世界，并在这一过程中结交朋友。)”可知，作者在最后一段中建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值，这样我们可以更好了解我们的世界，交更多的朋友。故选C。
【15题详解】

【41题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：为了让羚羊更容易移动，并使它们远离汽车和火车，人们增加了桥梁和大门。分析句子可知，空处应为谓语动词；根据前两句的谓语动词“placed”和“watched”和本句句意可知，本句应用一般过去时，表示过去发生的动作；主语是“Bridges and gates”，故应用被动语态，表示“桥和大门被增加了”，且谓语动词为复数。故填were added。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：因此，藏羚羊的数量已经恢复，并于2015年6月从濒危物种名单中删除。固定短语as a result表示“因此、结果”，符合句意，故空处应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：因此，藏羚羊的数量已经恢复，并于2015年6月从濒危物种名单中删除。分析句子可知，空处应为形容词，作定语修饰名词“species”；endangered形容词，意为“濒危的”，符合句意。故填endangered。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，政府并不打算停止保护计划，因为对藏羚羊的威胁还没有消失。根据谓语动词“intend”可知，空处应为非谓语动词；动词短语intend to do sth表示“打算做某事”，符合句意，故应用动词不定式作宾语。故填to stop。
【45题详解】
考查倒装句。句意：只有当我们学会与自然和谐相处时，我们才不会对野生动物和我们的星球构成威胁。当“only+状语从句”位于句首时，主句要部分倒装；根据从句中谓语动词“learn”和句意可知，主句可用一般将来时will do或can do表示将要或能够发生的动作。故填will/can。

Dear Helen,
I am not quite myself this term. I am under pressure from both my friends and study. One of my classmates named Danny doesn’t like me.
He speaks ill of me behind my back every now and then, so many classmates don’t like me. I am not feeling good every time I walk into the classroom. I sometimes prefer to stay at home to avoid students’ eye sights.
It bothers me so much that I can’t focus on my study. I did a bad job in my mid-term examination. I failed in my poor subject Maths and even get a low mark on my advantaged subject English.
I am such a loser both in interpersonal relationship and study. With no courage to face my classmates, I don’t want to go to school. What should I do
Yours sincerely,
Ben
Dear Ben,

Yours sincerely,
Helen
【答案】Dear Ben,
I’m sorry to hear that you are going through a tough time at school, especially when someone is speaking ill of you behind your back.
Firstly, don’t let the negative opinions of others define your self-worth. I suggest trying to communicate with them directly. It may be uncomfortable, but sometimes it can help improve the situation.
Regarding your studies, try not to let the stress get in the way of your academic performance. It may be helpful to seek out extra support or resources, such as a tutor or study group.
Remember to be kind to yourself and take care of your mental health. Focus on your own growth and progress, and things will eventually fall into place.
Yours sincerely,
Helen

六、书面表达
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文.
When coming to this city for high school, I moved into the new house with my parents. We were very grateful to the owner for renting us this house at a cheap price. The house was really comfortable to live in. It was warm inside and full of life outside.
A tree in the front yard attracted my attention, and all I could confirm was that it was a fruit tree. My father thought it was a fig(无花果) tree, and sure enough, as the months went by, the tree grew huge leaves and finally bore the fruit—figs, the size of my fist. How wonderful they were! I took many pictures of the fig tree. And then we wondered how to deal with the figs. My mother thought for a while and said, “Why not try making fig jam ” I responded quickly, “That’s a good idea!”
Jack, one of our neighbors, just visited us and asked if he could pick some figs from our tree. Certainly, we encouraged him to take as many as he liked. In fact, Jack was extremely polite and friendly to us. He introduced himself at the first sight of us. He always waved to me as he came home or as he left for work.
When I picked the figs with him, he told me about how he had been living in the house next door for close to twenty years. He said, “Bruce, the owner of the house you live in now, used to be my best friend. And we had planted this very fig tree a few years before he went to the nursing home.” I was amazed to know that we actually enjoyed the fruit of his work. He told me that he was so impressed by the quality of the fruit this year. I found a fruit box for him to put the figs in. Both of us enjoyed the pleasure of sharing.
When Jack set out for his home, I turned to my parents and advised doing something in return for Jack and Bruce’s kindness and friendliness.

【答案】参考范文:
Finally, we decided to invite Jack and his family to dinner that night. I called him and talked about it, and he accepted the invitation with pleasure. After school, I went to the supermarket to help my parents buy lots of food materials. And I specially bought a toy for Jack’s little baby. My mother prepared a bottle of fig jam for dinner. We cooked a big meal together at home. Jack’ family arrived on time. We shared the delicious food happily. After dinner, we talked about Bruce. We all thought it was him who planted this fig tree that brought us together. So we were determined to thank him.
The next day, our family and Jack visited Bruce in the nursing home. When Bruce saw us, he jumped with joy like a child. My mother reminded me and said, “Dear, give Bruce a surprise.” I pulled out my phone and showed him the pictures of the fig tree. I also handed a basket of sweet figs to him. He was particularly pleased to see the fig tree. He thanked me for taking good care of it. I swore that I would always treasure it. And all of us promised to see him more often. We had such a close relationship with him, like a family.
