Scotland is packed with beautiful places to visit and you could honestly spend months and months exploring everything this wonderful country has to offer! Next I’m going to take you through some of the best places to visit in Scotland, based on where we have personally visited so far!
Glen Coe
If you asked me where my favourite place to visit in all of Scotland is... I would say, Glen Coe. The whole area of Glen Coe constantly had my face in shock due to the beauty that I was witnessing. It’s just a stream of dramatic mountains, lakes, rugged beauty and more.

Fort William is probably one of the most well-known places to visit in Scotland. It’s a popular tourist destination thanks to being home to the UK’s tallest mountain: Ben Nevis. Fort William is also the starting point for one of the world’s most famous train rides: The Jacobite. Harry Potter fans will recognize it as the Hogwarts Express, and this train ride will take you through the beautiful countryside, crossing some iconic Harry Potter filming locations such as the Dumbledore’s Grave and the Glenfinnan Viaduct!
Isle Of Skye
This island feels totally different from other parts of Scotland and is truly rugged and ready! There are many hot spots to explore including the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Glen. I even stayed on a private island with its very own lighthouse, which was one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited and one of the most romantic places stay in Scotland.
Cairngorms National Park
This is the largest national park in the UK so it’s another popular place to visit in Scotland and it’s no surprise why. It’s absolutely beautiful and there’s so much happening at the Cairngorms National Park! From skiing or meeting local reindeers, you’ll not go bored and you’ll be surrounded by beauty the entire time.
1. Which place probably attracts Harry Potter fans most
A. Glen Coe. B. Isle Of Skye.
C. Cairngorms National Park. D. Fort William.
2. What can you see in Cairngorms National Park
A. The Jacobite. B. Local reindeers.

While for many a chef, serving up the fanciest (最优质的) and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra aim: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big influence on people’s way of thinking about food and food waste.
With 22 years of experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career. So what is the best way to stop this For him, it really comes down to one important thing: “Rather than think about what you want to cook, look at the left things, what’s available (可利用的) , and then make a menu. This is what every chef should do.”
He’s clear on his solution. “Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor (风味) ,” Rudolf explains. “There are too many chefs who are trying to make their dish too fancy. They want to have only the biggest sea fish. Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage, only using the best leaves, and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste.
He knows that one of his suppliers—a local farm—is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred chefs only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the whole leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer. “And that’s just one supplier,” he says.
While other chefs will only accept the best ingredients (原料) from their suppliers, if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits, Rudolf is still going to use it. “Just because I’ll accept produce of a slightly lower quality doesn’t mean I’m going to serve food of a less quality. It’s my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate,” he says. As a chef, he thinks he has a duty not only to cook delicious food, but also to reduce food waste.
4. What is Rudolf’s extra goal with his dishes
A. To create the fanciest meals ever. B. To educate the public on food waste.
C To encourage people to cook by themselves. D. To start a career in Michelin-starred restaurants.
5. What does Rudolf say about many chefs
A. They care too much about flavor. B. They are too choosy about ingredients.
C. They satisfy customers’ needs to the full. D. They would like to try out new cooking methods.
6. What problem do food suppliers face according to Rudolf
A. They overproduce greatly. B. They struggle to win orders.
C. They fail to store their products properly. D. They have many unwanted left ingredients.
7. Which of the following best describes Rudolf
A. Influential. B. Energetic. C. Poor. D. Responsible.
C
Back in the 1960s, a Harvard graduate student made a great discovery about human anger. At age 34, Jean Briggs was allowed to live in an Inuit community where many Inuit families lived a traditional life.
Briggs quickly realized something unusual was going on in these families.“They never got angry with me, and even showing a bit of anger was considered weak and childlike,” Briggs said. For example, once when someone knocked a hot pot of tea across the igloo (冰屋), damaging the ice floor, no one changed their look. “Too bad,” the person just said calmly and went to refill the teapot.
Briggs wrote up her observations (观察记录) in her book, Never in Anger. But she was left with questions: How do Inuit parents teach their children this ability How do the Inuit turn irritable (易怒的) babies into cool-headed adults
After reading Briggs' book, in early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit, Canada, which is an Inuit town, in search of parenting wisdom, especially when it comes to teaching children to control their feelings. Right off the plane, I started collecting data (数据).
I sat with the elders in their 80s and 90s. I talked with moms. And I attended a local parenting class. All the moms mentioned one golden rule: Don't shout or yell at small children, for it is a tradition among the Inuit to see yelling at a small child as shameful.
The elders I spoke with said colonization (殖民) over the past century is harming the tradition, so the community is working hard to keep their parenting methods. Goota Jaw, who teaches the parenting class at Nunavut Arctic College, is in the front line of this effort. “Shouting is not how we teach our children,” Jaw said. “It is just teaching them to run away.”
“When we shout at a child, we' re training the child to shout,” said author Laura Markham. “Parents who control their own anger are helping their children learn to do the same.”
8. What did Briggs find about the Inuit
A. They often behaved like children.
B. They began to lead a modern lifestyle.
C. They developed a habit of drinking tea.
D. They were quite able to control their anger.
9. Why did the author go to Iqaluit
A To study how Briggs wrote Never in Anger.
B. To attend a class about the history of the Inuit.
C. To find out how the Inuit raise cool-headed kids.
D. To collect data on education in Inuit communities.
10. What are old Inuit people worrying about
A. Their parenting style is being harmed.
B. Colonization will make the Inuit disappear.
C. Inuit parents become too kind to their kids.
D. Parenting classes are attracting fewer parents.
11. Which would Markham most probably agree with
A. Kids follow the example of parents.
B. Teaching kids to be angry is necessary.
C. Parents often learn parenting from their kids.
D. It is sometimes OK to speak to kids seriously.
D
The government in China’s Gansu province recently completed the building of a 3D database (数据库) to digitally (数字地) map the Great Wall in order to ensure better protection. The database contains all the information collected through advanced technology and produces 3D images of the part of the Great Wall in Shandan county.
The Great Wall parts in Gansu stretch for 3,654 kilometers. Over the past few years, the Gansu provincial cultural heritage bureau has carried out more than 30 protection projects, using digital technology as a new method. The Shandan part stretches for over 200 kilometers, which was mostly built from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. The part in Xiakou village is the main part. “The Great Wall in Xiakou has weathered over a long period of time. It now appears to have cracking and other matters,” said Bai Yuzhang, a member of the Shandan cultural relic (遗迹) protection bureau, adding that other relics, such as ancient street buildings, have also suffered different degrees of damage.
During the past two years, the local government has carried out several projects to repair the Xiakou part and started the digitalization project in 2021. The project is arduous. The team used UAV photography and remote sensing mapping technologies to take photos of the Great Wall. Then they worked day and night to made 3D models based on data analysis. It was a difficult process but they finally overcame problems with great determination.
After more than a year of data collection and analysis, the database has been completed and the system is preparing for final acceptance. “Digitalization breaks the limitations (限制) of time and space so that all kinds of cultural relics are available (可获得的) to users. They can understand the rich historical and cultural meaning of the relics,” Bai said. “The database is not only valuable historical materials of cultural relics, but also a stepping stone to future research, protection and application of the Great Wall heritage,” he added.
12. What is a problem facing the Xiakou part of the Great Wall according to the text
A. Human activity. B. Weather damage.
C. A lack of capital. D. Villagers’ less attention to it.
13. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Expensive. B. Influential. C. Challenging. D. Mysterious.
14. What is the advantage of digitalization according to Bai Yuzhang
A. It collects data about weather conditions.
B. It prevents the relics from being damaged.
C. It makes it easy for people to admire relics.
D. It breaks the limitations of mapping technology.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Great Wall Reflects History B. Digital Tech Helps Protect the Great Wall
C. Damage to the Great Wall Is Taken Seriously D. Great Progress Has Been Made in 3D Images

While for many a chef, serving up the fanciest (最优质的) and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra aim: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big influence on people’s way of thinking about food and food waste.
With 22 years of experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career. So what is the best way to stop this For him, it really comes down to one important thing: “Rather than think about what you want to cook, look at the left things, what’s available (可利用的) , and then make a menu. This is what every chef should do.”
He’s clear on his solution. “Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor (风味) ,” Rudolf explains. “There are too many chefs who are trying to make their dish too fancy. They want to have only the biggest sea fish. Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage, only using the best leaves, and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste.
He knows that one of his suppliers—a local farm—is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred chefs only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the whole leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer. “And that’s just one supplier,” he says.
While other chefs will only accept the best ingredients (原料) from their suppliers, if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits, Rudolf is still going to use it. “Just because I’ll accept produce of a slightly lower quality doesn’t mean I’m going to serve food of a less quality. It’s my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate,” he says. As a chef, he thinks he has a duty not only to cook delicious food, but also to reduce food waste.
4. What is Rudolf’s extra goal with his dishes
A. To create the fanciest meals ever. B. To educate the public on food waste.
C. To encourage people to cook by themselves. D. To start a career in Michelin-starred restaurants.
5. What does Rudolf say about many chefs
A. They care too much about flavor. B. They are too choosy about ingredients.
C. They satisfy customers’ needs to the full. D. They would like to try out new cooking methods.
6. What problem do food suppliers face according to Rudolf
A. They overproduce greatly. B. They struggle to win orders.
C. They fail to store their products properly. D. They have many unwanted left ingredients.
7. Which of the following best describes Rudolf
A. Influential. B. Energetic. C. Poor. D. Responsible.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. D
C
Back in the 1960s, a Harvard graduate student made a great discovery about human anger. At age 34, Jean Briggs was allowed to live in an Inuit community where many Inuit families lived a traditional life.
Briggs quickly realized something unusual was going on in these families.“They never got angry with me, and even showing a bit of anger was considered weak and childlike,” Briggs said. For example, once when someone knocked a hot pot of tea across the igloo (冰屋), damaging the ice floor, no one changed their look. “Too bad,” the person just said calmly and went to refill the teapot.
Briggs wrote up her observations (观察记录) in her book, Never in Anger. But she was left with questions: How do Inuit parents teach their children this ability How do the Inuit turn irritable (易怒的) babies into cool-headed adults
After reading Briggs' book, in early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit, Canada, which is an Inuit town, in search of parenting wisdom, especially when it comes to teaching children to control their feelings. Right off the plane, I started collecting data (数据).
I sat with the elders in their 80s and 90s. I talked with moms. And I attended a local parenting class. All the moms mentioned one golden rule: Don't shout or yell at small children, for it is a tradition among the Inuit to see yelling at a small child as shameful.
The elders I spoke with said colonization (殖民) over the past century is harming the tradition, so the community is working hard to keep their parenting methods. Goota Jaw, who teaches the parenting class at Nunavut Arctic College, is in the front line of this effort. “Shouting is not how we teach our children,” Jaw said. “It is just teaching them to run away.”
“When we shout at a child, we' re training the child to shout,” said author Laura Markham. “Parents who control their own anger are helping their children learn to do the same.”
8. What did Briggs find about the Inuit
A. They often behaved like children.
B. They began to lead a modern lifestyle.
C. They developed a habit of drinking tea.
D. They were quite able to control their anger.
9. Why did the author go to Iqaluit
A. To study how Briggs wrote Never in Anger.
B. To attend a class about the history of the Inuit.
C. To find out how the Inuit raise cool-headed kids.
D. To collect data on education in Inuit communities.
10. What are old Inuit people worrying about
A. Their parenting style is being harmed.
B. Colonization will make the Inuit disappear.
C. Inuit parents become too kind to their kids.
D. Parenting classes are attracting fewer parents.
11. Which would Markham most probably agree with
A. Kids follow the example of parents.
B. Teaching kids to be angry is necessary.
C. Parents often learn parenting from their kids.
D. It is sometimes OK to speak to kids seriously.

The government in China’s Gansu province recently completed the building of a 3D database (数据库) to digitally (数字地) map the Great Wall in order to ensure better protection. The database contains all the information collected through advanced technology and produces 3D images of the part of the Great Wall in Shandan county.
The Great Wall parts in Gansu stretch for 3,654 kilometers. Over the past few years, the Gansu provincial cultural heritage bureau has carried out more than 30 protection projects, using digital technology as a new method. The Shandan part stretches for over 200 kilometers, which was mostly built from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. The part in Xiakou village is the main part. “The Great Wall in Xiakou has weathered over a long period of time. It now appears to have cracking and other matters,” said Bai Yuzhang, a member of the Shandan cultural relic (遗迹) protection bureau, adding that other relics, such as ancient street buildings, have also suffered different degrees of damage.
During the past two years, the local government has carried out several projects to repair the Xiakou part and started the digitalization project in 2021. The project is arduous. The team used UAV photography and remote sensing mapping technologies to take photos of the Great Wall. Then they worked day and night to made 3D models based on data analysis. It was a difficult process but they finally overcame problems with great determination.
After more than a year of data collection and analysis, the database has been completed and the system is preparing for final acceptance. “Digitalization breaks the limitations (限制) of time and space so that all kinds of cultural relics are available (可获得的) to users. They can understand the rich historical and cultural meaning of the relics,” Bai said. “The database is not only valuable historical materials of cultural relics, but also a stepping stone to future research, protection and application of the Great Wall heritage,” he added.
12. What is a problem facing the Xiakou part of the Great Wall according to the text
A. Human activity. B. Weather damage.
C. A lack of capital. D. Villagers’ less attention to it.
13. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Expensive. B. Influential. C. Challenging. D. Mysterious.
14. What is the advantage of digitalization according to Bai Yuzhang
A. It collects data about weather conditions.
B. It prevents the relics from being damaged.
C. It makes it easy for people to admire relics.
D. It breaks the limitations of mapping technology.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Great Wall Reflects History B. Digital Tech Helps Protect the Great Wall
C. Damage to the Great Wall Is Taken Seriously D. Great Progress Has Been Made in 3D Images

Focus on words that give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs, and pay less attention to the filler words, such as a, the, and, etc.
___18___
Scanning is a highly effective way of extracting (提取) answers from a text without really reading it.

I even stayed on a private island with its very own lighthouse, which was one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited and one of the most romantic places stay in Scotland.

During the past two years, the local government has carried out several projects to repair the Xiakou part and started the digitalization project in 2021. The project is arduous. The team used UAV photography and remote sensing mapping technologies to take photos of the Great Wall. Then they worked day and night to made 3D models based on data analysis. It was a difficult process but they finally overcame problems with great determination.
After more than a year of data collection and analysis, the database has been completed and the system is preparing for final acceptance. “Digitalization breaks the limitations (限制) of time and space so that all kinds of cultural relics are available (可获得的) to users. They can understand the rich historical and cultural meaning of the relics,” Bai said. “The database is not only valuable historical materials of cultural relics, but also a stepping stone to future research, protection and application of the Great Wall heritage,” he added.

Scotland is packed with beautiful places to visit and you could honestly spend months and months exploring everything this wonderful country has to offer! Next I’m going to take you through some of the best places to visit in Scotland, based on where we have personally visited so far!
Glen Coe
If you asked me where my favourite place to visit in all of Scotland is... I would say, Glen Coe. The whole area of Glen Coe constantly had my face in shock due to the beauty that I was witnessing. It’s just a stream of dramatic mountains, lakes, rugged beauty and more.
Fort William
Fort William is probably one of the most well-known places to visit in Scotland. It’s a popular tourist destination thanks to being home to the UK’s tallest mountain: Ben Nevis. Fort William is also the starting point for one of the world’s most famous train rides: The Jacobite. Harry Potter fans will recognize it as the Hogwarts Express, and this train ride will take you through the beautiful countryside, crossing some iconic Harry Potter filming locations such as the Dumbledore’s Grave and the Glenfinnan Viaduct!
Isle Of Skye
This island feels totally different from other parts of Scotland and is truly rugged and ready! There are many hot spots to explore including the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Glen. I even stayed on a private island with its very own lighthouse, which was one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited and one of the most romantic places stay in Scotland.
Cairngorms National Park
This is the largest national park in the UK so it’s another popular place to visit in Scotland and it’s no surprise why. It’s absolutely beautiful and there’s so much happening at the Cairngorms National Park! From skiing or meeting local reindeers you’ll not go bored and you’ll be surrounded by beauty the entire time.
1. Which place probably attracts Harry Potter fans most
A. Glen Coe. B. Isle Of Skye.
C. Cairngorms National Park. D. Fort William.

A. The Jacobite. B. Local reindeers.
C. The UK's tallest mountain. D. A cool lighthouse.

【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C
B
While for many a chef, serving up the fanciest (最优质的) and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra aim: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big influence on people’s way of thinking about food and food waste.
With 22 years of experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career. So what is the best way to stop this For him, it really comes down to one important thing: “Rather than think about what you want to cook, look at the left things, what’s available (可利用的) , and then make a menu. This is what every chef should do.”
He’s clear on his solution. “Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor (风味) ,” Rudolf explains. “There are too many chefs who are trying to make their dish too fancy. They want to have only the biggest sea fish. Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage, only using the best leaves, and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste.
He knows that one of his suppliers—a local farm—is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred chefs only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the whole leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer. “And that’s just one supplier,” he says.
While other chefs will only accept the best ingredients (原料) from their suppliers, if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits, Rudolf is still going to use it. “Just because I’ll accept produce of a slightly lower quality doesn’t mean I’m going to serve food of a less quality. It’s my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate,” he says. As a chef, he thinks he has a duty not only to cook delicious food, but also to reduce food waste.
4. What is Rudolf’s extra goal with his dishes
A. To create the fanciest meals ever. B. To educate the public on food waste.
C. To encourage people to cook by themselves. D. To start a career in Michelin-starred restaurants.
5. What does Rudolf say about many chefs
A. They care too much about flavor. B. They are too choosy about ingredients.
C. They satisfy customers’ needs to the full. D. They would like to try out new cooking methods.
6. What problem do food suppliers face according to Rudolf
A. They overproduce greatly. B. They struggle to win orders.
C. They fail to store their products properly. D. They have many unwanted left ingredients.
7. Which of the following best describes Rudolf
A. Influential. B. Energetic. C. Poor. D. Responsible.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. D
C
Back in the 1960s, a Harvard graduate student made a great discovery about human anger. At age 34, Jean Briggs was allowed to live in an Inuit community where many Inuit families lived a traditional life.
Briggs quickly realized something unusual was going on in these families.“They never got angry with me, and even showing a bit of anger was considered weak and childlike,” Briggs said. For example, once when someone knocked a hot pot of tea across the igloo (冰屋), damaging the ice floor, no one changed their look. “Too bad,” the person just said calmly and went to refill the teapot.
Briggs wrote up her observations (观察记录) in her book, Never in Anger. But she was left with questions: How do Inuit parents teach their children this ability How do the Inuit turn irritable (易怒的) babies into cool-headed adults
After reading Briggs' book, in early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit, Canada, which is an Inuit town, in search of parenting wisdom, especially when it comes to teaching children to control their feelings. Right off the plane, I started collecting data (数据).
I sat with the elders in their 80s and 90s. I talked with moms. And I attended a local parenting class. All the moms mentioned one golden rule: Don't shout or yell at small children, for it is a tradition among the Inuit to see yelling at a small child as shameful.
The elders I spoke with said colonization (殖民) over the past century is harming the tradition, so the community is working hard to keep their parenting methods. Goota Jaw, who teaches the parenting class at Nunavut Arctic College, is in the front line of this effort. “Shouting is not how we teach our children,” Jaw said. “It is just teaching them to run away.”
“When we shout at a child, we' re training the child to shout,” said author Laura Markham. “Parents who control their own anger are helping their children learn to do the same.”
8. What did Briggs find about the Inuit
A. They often behaved like children.
B. They began to lead a modern lifestyle.
C. They developed a habit of drinking tea.
D. They were quite able to control their anger.
9. Why did the author go to Iqaluit
A. To study how Briggs wrote Never in Anger.
B. To attend a class about the history of the Inuit.
C. To find out how the Inuit raise cool-headed kids.
D. To collect data on education in Inuit communities.
10. What are old Inuit people worrying about
A. Their parenting style is being harmed.
B. Colonization will make the Inuit disappear.
C. Inuit parents become too kind to their kids.
D. Parenting classes are attracting fewer parents.
11. Which would Markham most probably agree with
A. Kids follow the example of parents.
B. Teaching kids to be angry is necessary.
C. Parents often learn parenting from their kids.
D. It is sometimes OK to speak to kids seriously.

My Growth
We grow up in change. Growth makes our life full of meaning. Looking back on the past days, I have experienced many changes in my study, thought, character, life and so on. The biggest personal change I’ve ever made is that I have fallen in love with reading.
When I was a child, I didn’t enjoy reading books at all. Later, my mother always read stories for me and bought me books. Gradually, I began to love reading. While reading, I feel like talking with a wise man. Reading is also a fantastic way to enjoy my free time. Books are my best friends. Reading has benefited me a lot. I like reading more and more.

One day, Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it a secret.
Zahra agreed, and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted, he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finishing line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞)with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
Ali looked up and saw the other boys running ahead. Refusing to give up. He ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finishing line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let his sister down, Ali couldn’t help crying. Just then, he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who knocked Ali down was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony. Ali felt happy as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
