If you want to know something about British life, their spirit, and even their humor, watching some classic British films will certainly help. Here are some recommended to you.
Notting Hill
After the success of his film Four Weddings and a Funeral, writer and producer Richard Curtis captured the essence of being British in 1999’s Notting Hill. Set against the background of rich West London, the film became popular for its charming and funny portrayal (刻画) of a British nobody trying to impress a Hollywood star.
The Full Monty
This 1997 film is a Sheffield-based comedy about six unemployed men who form a group to make money for a better life. Despite its humor, the film dives deeper into some serious issues surrounding working-class culture. The Full Monty is an uplifting film that gives an insight into the work and life of the working class in Britain.
Trainspotting
Danny Boyle’s 1996 comedy-drama Trainspotting is about a group of Scots in the 1980s, based on the book by Irvine Welsh. With a cast of truly great actors including Ewan McGregor, the tale impressed the audience globally. It rapidly became a critical success.
Monty Python’s Life of Brian
Featuring a jam-packed cast of comedic stars, Monty Python’s Life of Brian tells the story of a young man who is in a case of mistaken identity.

Bright and early on the morning of our first full day in Antarctica, L’ Austral’s Captain Fabien’s voice woke us up as it came through a loudspeaker. If we looked outside right now, he said, we’d see a beautiful sea of icebergs in the golden sunlight. My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice. In the distance, we spotted a group of humpback whales feeding on smaller fishes. Next door, my parents were also waking up to the sights of a new day in Antarctica. Over breakfast, my sister and I excitedly told them about the whales we saw from our room that morning.
You might not immediately think of “family vacation” when talking about a trip to Antarctica, but tour companies like Adventures by Disney are changing that. The company offers guided group trips to destinations across all seven continents in the world.
Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day. After leaving Buenos Aires, we flew to Ushuaia on an Adventures by Disney plane. Then, it was the journey toward the Drake Passage. After a speedy Drake Passage crossing, we reached Antarctica early, adding a half day to our scheduled four days on and around the continent.
To those unfamiliar with Adventures by Disney, the fact that you can experience Antarctica — the most distant, extreme continent—with Disney might be surprising. During the trip, there were thoughtful acts, from stamped postcards to send from an Antarctica post office to a champagne (香槟) party on our final stop of the journey; Adventures by Disney truly thought of everything for us. Antarctica is a life-changing destination packed with experiences that can’t be copied. We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne. And honestly, it’s going to be hard for the next family trip we may take to compete.
4. How did the author and her sister feel when sailing past the icebergs
A. Terrific. B. Confused. C. Frightened. D. Dangerous.
5. What happened first on the author’s journey
A. They flew to Ushuaia.
B. They toured around Buenos Aires.
C. They passed through the Drake Passage.
D. They hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals.
6. What can we infer about their travel from the last paragraph
A. The author might feel bad when crossing the Drake Passage.
B. The author was the most impressed by the champagne party.
C. The author believes that their next travel will be more thrilling.
D. The author thought an Antarctica post office should be established.
7. Which can serve as the best title for the text
A. Exploring Antarctica — A Place with Various animals
B. An Antarctic Adventure for Scientific Research
C. A Comfortable Travel Experience
D. A Family’s Journey to Antarctica
C
The earliest discovered cave paintings date back to the Upper Paleolithic (旧石器时代晚期) period. We might expect that they would be simply made, but the cave paintings of Spain and southern France show a high degree of skill. So do the cave paintings in southern Africa. Some of those appear to have been painted as much as 28,000 years ago, which suggests that painting in Africa is as old as that in Europe. The early Australians may have painted on the walls of rock shelters at least 30,000 years ago.
The researchers identified three principal locations of paintings in the caves of western Europe: in obviously inhabited (有人居住的) rock shelters and cave entrances; in galleries near the inhabited areas of caves, and in the inner reaches of caves, whose difficulty of access has been considered as a sign that magical religious activities were performed there.
The subjects of the paintings are mostly animals. The paintings rest on bare walls, with no decoration. Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, and if that was their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely found in cave art. Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these people sought to improve their luck at hunting.
The particular symbolic significance of the cave paintings in south western France is more clearly revealed by the results of a study. The data suggest that the animals in the cave paintings were mostly the ones that the painters preferred for meat. For example, wild cattle and horses are found more often than we would expect by chance, probably because they were larger and heavier meatier (多肉的) than other animals in the environment. In addition, in the paintings there are mostly animals that the painters may have feared the most because of their size, speed, natural weapons such as horns. That is, mammoths (猛犸) were drawn more often than deer.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Painting in Europe is not so old as that in southern Africa.
B. The cave paintings in southern Africa reflect ancient people’s super skill.
C. The early Australians drew cave paintings later than the early Europeans.
D. Most of the cave paintings of Spain and southern France were simply drawn.
9. Where can we find galleries in western Europe
A. Close to the inhabited areas of caves.
B. In the inner reaches of caves.
C. In a place too far from caves.
D. At cave entrances.
10. What does the third paragraph reveal about the cave paintings
A. The subjects mainly include plants and animals.
B. Human figures are usually found in cave art.
C. The paintings were drawn on bare walls.
D. They were carefully and well decorated.
11. Which might NOT be the reason why mammoths were often drawn in the paintings
A. They were very fast.
B. They were quite large.
C. They were rather tasty.
D. They had natural weapons.
D
Back in 1807, London became the first city on the planet to have a street lit up by gaslight lamps. For the city’s residents, it seemed like an extraordinary thing to have evening turned into a version of daytime. But more than two centuries later, artificial light has spread across so much of the planet that it has become a threat to us as well as the environment.
The extent of light pollution is evidenced by a study in the journal Science Advances, in which researchers used measurements taken by satellites to study the artificial brightness of Earth’s surface at nighttime. They found the artificially lit outdoor area grew at a rate of 2.2% per year. But those increases are just part of the story. Christopher Kyba, a scientist at German Research Center, says the increasing transition to high-efficiency LED lamps for outdoor lighting, which were regarded by most people originally as a way to reduce our dependence upon fossil (化石的) fuels and slow climate change, may not be saving as much electricity as expected.
The American Medical Association added that the wavelengths (波长) at which the lights operate control the hormone that helps us to sleep. “It is estimated that white LED lamps have a much greater impact on people’s sleep than the former streetlights.” Research shows that such impact may be a significant aspect inducing fatness and other physical disorders. Many species on Earth are active at night, and electric lighting, especially dusk to dawn lighting, represents damage to the environment of these species. A study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, for example, found powerful beams of light from the National September 11 Memorial and Museum changed the flight paths and speed of 1.1 million migrating birds over a seven-day period alone. And in Florida, light pollution along beaches is disturbing sea turtles having babies, resulting in thousands of young animals’ dying each year.
But perhaps the most obvious thing about light pollution is that much of it results from wasteful light that isn’t necessary, according to Kyba, who estimates that it could be reduced by five to ten times. “I think we should be asking as taxpayers (纳税人). Why are we paying for lights that shine uselessly into people’s windows and disturb their sleep ”
12. What did most people use to think of LED light s according to Paragraph 2
A. They would be beneficial to people's sleep.
B. They could be used to reduce light pollution.
C. They would contribute to serious global warming.
D. They could make people depend less on fossil fuels.
13. What does the underlined word “inducing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Causing. B. Marking. C. Preventing. D. Reducing.
14. Why did the author mention migrating birds and sea turtles in Paragraph 3
A. To present the sources of light pollution.
B. To show the influence of light pollution on animals.
C. To compare the sleeping habits of different animals.
D. To highlight the strong adaptability of particular animals.
15. Which of the following can be Kyba’s suggestion
A. Avoiding arranging unnecessary lights.
B. Improving the function of streetlights.
C. Calling on taxpayers to protect animals.
D. Decreasing the great pressure on taxpayers.

Nancy is used to getting up early every day. She is a young mother. By seven, she has already eaten breakfast, had a cup of coffee, washed the dishes, taken her shower, and put on her make-up. Then, it’s time to do the housework.
One early Saturday morning, when she was washing her son’s vacuum bottle (保温瓶), she felt upset. After having been used for long, the bottle was in poor condition. It was high time that she should buy a new one for her kid Bill, but her budget was limited. She had to decide that she would buy a new one sometime plaining wasn’t how she would normally choose to start the day, especially with the sun shining.
To cheer up and continue the day a bit more optimistically, she left the housework for later and set out with her little kid Bill for their morning walk on the beach a little earlier than usual. The local shops hadn’t opened yet. It was quiet outside; there were few people around.
Walking through the downtown area, something on the pavement caught her attention. From a distance, it appeared to be a package of some sort. They walked over and Nancy picked it up. Upon examination, it turned out to be a brown paper bag. The downtown had nine blocks with stores. Grocery stores, furniture shops, cake shops, banks, bookstores, home-goods stores, clothing shops, and other businesses lined the street. Looking around, Nancy found none of them had been open for business. It was too early.
Nancy knew all this indicated that the object had most likely been purchased by someone the evening or day before. Since it was near the road, Nancy guessed someone must have dropped it, probably while loading other bags into a car.
Nancy looked inside the bag for more information. After opening it, she found there was a small handbag. Inside the bag there were many cards. Among them there was the owner’s business card, which showed the owner’s name and phone number. Besides, there was a box in the brown bag. “What may be in the box ” Nancy thought to herself.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
She checked it, surprised to find there was a new vacuum bottle for kids in it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Based on the information on the business card, Nancy made up her mind to call the owner.

Bright and early on the morning of our first full day in Antarctica, L’ Austral’s Captain Fabien’s voice woke us up as it came through a loudspeaker. If we looked outside right now, he said, we’d see a beautiful sea of icebergs in the golden sunlight. My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice. In the distance, we spotted a group of humpback whales feeding on smaller fishes. Next door, my parents were also waking up to the sights of a new day in Antarctica. Over breakfast, my sister and I excitedly told them about the whales we saw from our room that morning.
You might not immediately think of “family vacation” when talking about a trip to Antarctica, but tour companies like Adventures by Disney are changing that. The company offers guided group trips to destinations across all seven continents in the world.
Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day. After leaving Buenos Aires, we flew to Ushuaia on an Adventures by Disney plane. Then, it was the journey toward the Drake Passage. After a speedy Drake Passage crossing, we reached Antarctica early, adding a half day to our scheduled four days on and around the continent.
To those unfamiliar with Adventures by Disney, the fact that you can experience Antarctica — the most distant, extreme continent—with Disney might be surprising. During the trip, there were thoughtful acts, from stamped postcards to send from an Antarctica post office to a champagne (香槟) party on our final stop of the journey; Adventures by Disney truly thought of everything for us. Antarctica is a life-changing destination packed with experiences that can’t be copied. We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne. And honestly, it’s going to be hard for the next family trip we may take to compete.

The earliest discovered cave paintings date back to the Upper Paleolithic (旧石器时代晚期) period. We might expect that they would be simply made, but the cave paintings of Spain and southern France show a high degree of skill. So do the cave paintings in southern Africa. Some of those appear to have been painted as much as 28,000 years ago, which suggests that painting in Africa is as old as that in Europe. The early Australians may have painted on the walls of rock shelters at least 30,000 years ago.
The researchers identified three principal locations of paintings in the caves of western Europe: in obviously inhabited (有人居住的) rock shelters and cave entrances; in galleries near the inhabited areas of caves, and in the inner reaches of caves, whose difficulty of access has been considered as a sign that magical religious activities were performed there.
The subjects of the paintings are mostly animals. The paintings rest on bare walls, with no decoration. Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, and if that was their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely found in cave art. Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these people sought to improve their luck at hunting.
The particular symbolic significance of the cave paintings in south western France is more clearly revealed by the results of a study. The data suggest that the animals in the cave paintings were mostly the ones that the painters preferred for meat. For example, wild cattle and horses are found more often than we would expect by chance, probably because they were larger and heavier meatier (多肉的) than other animals in the environment. In addition, in the paintings there are mostly animals that the painters may have feared the most because of their size, speed, natural weapons such as horns. That is, mammoths (猛犸) were drawn more often than deer.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Painting in Europe is not so old as that in southern Africa.
B. The cave paintings in southern Africa reflect ancient people’s super skill.
C. The early Australians drew cave paintings later than the early Europeans.
D. Most of the cave paintings of Spain and southern France were simply drawn.
9. Where can we find galleries in western Europe
A. Close to the inhabited areas of caves.
B. In the inner reaches of caves.
C. In a place too far from caves.
D. At cave entrances.
10. What does the third paragraph reveal about the cave paintings
A. The subjects mainly include plants and animals.
B. Human figures are usually found in cave art.
C. The paintings were drawn on bare walls.
D. They were carefully and well decorated.
11. Which might NOT be the reason why mammoths were often drawn in the paintings
A. They were very fast.
B. They were quite large.
C. They were rather tasty.
D. They had natural weapons.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We might expect that they would be simply made, but the cave paintings of Spain and southern France show a high degree of skill. So do the cave paintings in southern Africa. (我们可能认为它们制作简单，但是西班牙和法国南部的洞穴壁画显示了高度的技巧。南非的岩画也是如此。)”可知，南非的洞穴壁画反映了古代人的高超技艺，故选B项。
【9题详解】

(研究人员确定了西欧洞穴中绘画的三个主要位置：明显有人居住的地方岩石掩体和洞穴入口；在有人居住的洞穴附近的画廊里，以及在洞穴的内侧，这些地方很难进入，被认为是在那里进行神奇的宗教活动的标志。)”可知，在西欧，靠近有人居住的洞穴可以找到画廊，故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The subjects of the paintings are mostly animals. The paintings rest on bare walls, with no decoration. (这些画的主题大多是动物。这些画挂在光秃秃的墙上，没有任何装饰。)”可知，洞穴壁画是画在光秃秃的墙上的，故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In addition, in the paintings there are mostly animals that the painters may have feared the most because of their size, speed, natural weapons such as horns. That is, mammoths (猛犸)were drawn more often than deer. (此外，画中大多是画家最害怕的动物，因为它们的大小、速度和角等自然武器。也就是猛犸象比鹿更常被画出来。)”可知，猛犸象并不是因为美味而被经常画在画中，故选C项。
D
Back in 1807, London became the first city on the planet to have a street lit up by gaslight lamps. For the city’s residents, it seemed like an extraordinary thing to have evening turned into a version of daytime. But more than two centuries later, artificial light has spread across so much of the planet that it has become a threat to us as well as the environment.
The extent of light pollution is evidenced by a study in the journal Science Advances, in which researchers used measurements taken by satellites to study the artificial brightness of Earth’s surface at nighttime. They found the artificially lit outdoor area grew at a rate of 2.2% per year. But those increases are just part of the story. Christopher Kyba, a scientist at German Research Center, says the increasing transition to high-efficiency LED lamps for outdoor lighting, which were regarded by most people originally as a way to reduce our dependence upon fossil (化石的) fuels and slow climate change, may not be saving as much electricity as expected.
The American Medical Association added that the wavelengths (波长) at which the lights operate control the hormone that helps us to sleep. “It is estimated that white LED lamps have a much greater impact on people’s sleep than the former streetlights.” Research shows that such impact may be a significant aspect inducing fatness and other physical disorders. Many species on Earth are active at night, and electric lighting, especially dusk to dawn lighting, represents damage to the environment of these species. A study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, for example, found powerful beams of light from the National September 11 Memorial and Museum changed the flight paths and speed of 1.1 million migrating birds over a seven-day period alone. And in Florida, light pollution along beaches is disturbing sea turtles having babies, resulting in thousands of young animals’ dying each year.
But perhaps the most obvious thing about light pollution is that much of it results from wasteful light that isn’t necessary, according to Kyba, who estimates that it could be reduced by five to ten times. “I think we should be asking as taxpayers (纳税人). Why are we paying for lights that shine uselessly into people’s windows and disturb their sleep ”
12. What did most people use to think of LED light s according to Paragraph 2
A. They would be beneficial to people's sleep.
B. They could be used to reduce light pollution.
C. They would contribute to serious global warming.
D. They could make people depend less on fossil fuels.
13. What does the underlined word “inducing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Causing. B. Marking. C. Preventing. D. Reducing.
14. Why did the author mention migrating birds and sea turtles in Paragraph 3
A. To present the sources of light pollution.
B. To show the influence of light pollution on animals.
C. To compare the sleeping habits of different animals.
D. To highlight the strong adaptability of particular animals.
15. Which of the following can be Kyba’s suggestion
A. Avoiding arranging unnecessary lights.
B. Improving the function of streetlights.
C. Calling on taxpayers to protect animals.
D. Decreasing the great pressure on taxpayers.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了光污染的问题，指出尽管人造光给生活带来了便利，但它也对人类和环境造成了严重的威胁。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“the increasing transition to high-efficiency LED lamps for outdoor lighting, which were regarded by most people originally as a way to reduce our dependence upon fossil (化石的) fuels and slow climate change, may not be saving as much electricity as expected.(越来越多的户外照明转向高效率的LED灯，最初被大多数人认为是减少我们对化石燃料的依赖和减缓气候变化的一种方式，可能并没有像预期的那样节省那么多电力。)”可知，根据第二段，大多数人过去对LED灯的看法是它们可以使人们减少对化石燃料的依赖。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文““It is estimated that white LED lamps have a much greater impact on people’s sleep than the former streetlights.”(“据估计，白色LED灯对人们睡眠的影响要比以前的路灯大得多。”)”可知，上文提到的这种影响可能是导致肥胖和其他身体疾病的一个重要方面。由此可知，inducing意为“引起，导致”。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And in Florida, light pollution along beaches is disturbing sea turtles having babies, resulting in thousands of young animals’ dying each year.(在佛罗里达州，海滩上的光污染正在干扰海龟产卵，导致每年成千上万的小动物死亡。)”可知，作者在第三段提到候鸟和海龟是为了展示光污染对动物的影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But perhaps the most obvious thing about light pollution is that much of it results from wasteful light that isn’t necessary, according to Kyba, who estimates that it could be reduced by five to ten times.(但Kyba认为，关于光污染最明显的一点可能是，大部分光污染是由不必要的光浪费造成的，他估计光污染可以减少五到十倍。)”可知，Kyba建议避免布置不必要的灯光。故选A。

Happy and successful people are likely to have most, if not all, of the soft skills listed below. (没有它们，你将很难找到工作、伴侣和幸福。快乐和成功的人很可能拥有下面列出的大部分软技能。)”可知，这里需要对软技能进行举例，进行进一步的解释。因此，选项G“They include being a good listener, working with other people well and showing a positive attitude (它们包括做一个好的倾听者，与他人良好合作，表现出积极的态度)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。

【18题详解】
由下文“Happiness is not only dependent on money. In fact, those who are crazy about earning money are often far from happy. For most things in this world, balance is the key. It is understandable that you want to work hard and earn a lot of money at the same time. But just ensure that you leave enough time and energy to enjoy the rewards. (幸福不仅仅取决于金钱。事实上，那些为赚钱而疯狂的人往往离幸福很远。对于这个世界上的大多数事情来说，平衡是关键。你想努力工作，同时又想赚很多钱，这是可以理解的。但要确保你有足够的时间和精力去享受回报。)”可知，这一段应该是关于工作与生活平衡的主题，因此，选项C“Work for the ideal work-life balance (努力实现理想的工作与生活平衡)”直接点明了这一平衡的重要性，能概括本段主旨，符合题意。故选C。
【19题详解】
由上文“See the best in others. Ask yourself if you have this quality. Many people don’t have it. (看到别人的优点。问问你自己，你是否有这种品质。很多人都没有。)”可知，要看到别人的优点，并且指出了很多人不具备这种品质，接下来应该强调具备这种品质的好处。因此，选项B“However, having this skill is great (然而，拥有这种技能是很好的)”是一个合适的转折，表明拥有这项技能的积极意义，能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。
【20题详解】
由上文“Have the eagerness to learn. Where would we be without learning From our birth to adulthood, we constantly learn new things. However, as we get older, many people stop learning.

One early Saturday morning, when she was washing her son’s vacuum bottle (保温瓶), she felt upset. After having been used for long, the bottle was in poor condition. It was high time that she should buy a new one for her kid Bill, but her budget was limited. She had to decide that she would buy a new one sometime plaining wasn’t how she would normally choose to start the day, especially with the sun shining.
To cheer up and continue the day a bit more optimistically, she left the housework for later and set out with her little kid Bill for their morning walk on the beach a little earlier than usual. The local shops hadn’t opened yet. It was quiet outside; there were few people around.
Walking through the downtown area, something on the pavement caught her attention. From a distance, it appeared to be a package of some sort. They walked over and Nancy picked it up. Upon examination, it turned out to be a brown paper bag. The downtown had nine blocks with stores. Grocery stores, furniture shops, cake shops, banks, bookstores, home-goods stores, clothing shops, and other businesses lined the street. Looking around, Nancy found none of them had been open for business. It was too early.
Nancy knew all this indicated that the object had most likely been purchased by someone the evening or day before. Since it was near the road, Nancy guessed someone must have dropped it, probably while loading other bags into a car.
Nancy looked inside the bag for more information. After opening it, she found there was a small handbag. Inside the bag there were many cards. Among them there was the owner’s business card, which showed the owner’s name and phone number. Besides, there was a box in the brown bag. “What may be in the box ” Nancy thought to herself.

We should give it back.” Hearing it, Bill cried, but Nancy didn’t change her mind. Then, after some explanation, little Bill seemed to understand and finally nodded, supporting her idea.
Based on the in formation on the business card, Nancy made up her mind to call the owner. The phone was answered by a woman after a few rings and Nancy explained the matter to her. The owner expressed her gratitude and said she would go to pick up the bag instantly. Before long, the owner arrived and Nancy handed the bag to her. She was so thankful that she insisted on giving Nancy some money. The woman also offered to give the new vacuum bottle to Bill when she saw Bill was quite fond of it.
