Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the south downs national park.
The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past-complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults 14, children 5—17 and students 6.50, under-4s free, family 38 (two adults and two children) or 25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10 a.m.—5 p.m. (last entry 4 p.m.).
16. What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum
A. Take a shower in the smoky hall. B. Learn construction techniques.
C. Experience rural life centuries ago. D. Stay overnight at craftsman s cottage.
17. How much would a couple with their 3-year-old daughter pay for admission
A. 25. B. 28. C. 34.5. D. 38.
18. What do we know about Weald & Downland Living Museum
A. It charges parking fees.
B. It allows visitors to enter until 5 p.m.
C. It is inconveniently located for bus riders.
D. It offers the disabled thoughtful service.
B
Recycling is beneficial for the environment. It can also benefit a community in surprising ways. Mateo Lange, 15, knows this well. On weekends, he can be found sorting through glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River, Michigan, where he leads a community recycling program.
Mateo launched the program in 2020 when he was just 11 and in the sixth grade playing baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones, a new team that needed funds for traveling to tournaments. Mateo came up with a plan to deal with this need.
“There were cans and bottles always thrown around the road,” he recalled. In Michigan, these can be collected and exchanged for cash. With his dad’s help, Mateo started a bottle and can drive. It raised $7,500.“We collected so much money in just a few weeks,” he says. “So I thought, why not keep this going as long as we can ”
Since then, Mateo says, his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local youth groups. It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
In 2023, Mateo was awarded a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. “It feels humbling,” Mateo says, when asked about all he’s accomplished with his cleanup effort.“I am happy knowing that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.”
Mateo believes everyone can — and should — be of service. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit of a better place,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on it.”
19. What motivated Mateo Lange to start his recycling program
A. He wanted to clean up his community.
B. His team needed money to travel to tournaments.
C. He was inspired by his father's love for the environment.
D. He was competing for the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.
20. What's Mateo’s attitude toward his achievements
A. Proud and excited. B. Humble and satisfied.
C. Overwhemed by the work. D. Calm and unconcerned.
21. What does Mateo suggest others should do to make a positive impact
A. Start a recycling program like his. B. Donate money to local charities.
C. Be creative and build on their ideas. D. Volunteer for community events.
C
Generation Z is different. As a whole, Americans born between the late 1990s and early 2000s are less likely to have work or look for it: their labour-force-participation rate is 71%, compared with 75% for millennials (born between 1980 and the late 1990s) and 78% for Generation X (born in the decade or so to 1980) when each came of age. As a result, they make up a smaller share of the workforce. With graduation ceremonies behind them, the latest group of diploma-holders are entering the job market. What they want from employers is also not quite the same as in generations past.
Although Gen-Z employees felt more lonely and isolated than their older colleagues at the start of the pandemic, the ability to work remotely has brought new possibilities. The benefits go beyond working in your pyjamas. Many are taking calls from beach chairs and hammocks (吊床) in more comfortable places or fleeing big cities in search for cheaper or larger homes.
This has big implications. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are falling out of favour with recent graduates. A study by ManpowerGroup, an employment company, suggests an inverse relationship (反比关系) between talent shortages and flexible working policies. The sectors which are either less able to offer remote work or have been slower to embrace it-including construction, finance and manufacturing-have faced some of the biggest skills gaps for all types of jobs.
That in turn has accelerated a pre-existing trend of young employees trading Wall Street for Silicon Valley. Now technology bosses are more willing than their opposite competitors in finance to let employees work from home (or anywhere else). Annual rankings of employer desirability by Universum, a graduate-staffing consultancy, bear this out. In 2008 the list of best employers graded by American graduates was dominated by big banks and the Big Four consulting firms. By 2021 seven of the ten highest spots were occupied by tech and media giants.
22. What does the underlined word “diploma-holders” in the first paragraph refer to
A. Employees. B. Students. C. Graduates. D. Shareholders.
23. Why do Gen-Z employees prefer work remotely
A. They can’t afford to live in big cities.
B. They want to spend their days on the beach.
C. They want to work in a more flexible way.
D. They prefer wearing pyjamas while working
24. What does the study by ManpowerGroup suggest
A. All walks of life are facing some of the biggest skills gaps.
B. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are less popular.
C. Industries with flexible working policies may suffer talent shortages.
D. Construction, finance and manufacturing can’t offer remote work.
25. Why does the author mention Wall Street and Silicon Valley
A. To show that job-hopping among young employees is popular.
B. To indicate that young people prefer to work in big companies.
C. To weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of the two industries.
D. To prove that tech firms are more attractive due to its flexible working ways.

Recycling is beneficial for the environment. It can also benefit a community in surprising ways. Mateo Lange, 15, knows this well. On weekends, he can be found sorting through glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River, Michigan, where he leads a community recycling program.
Mateo launched the program in 2020 when he was just 11 and in the sixth grade, playing baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones, a new team that needed funds for traveling to tournaments. Mateo came up with a plan to deal with this need.
“There were cans and bottles always thrown around the road,” he recalled. In Michigan, these can be collected and exchanged for cash. With his dad’s help, Mateo started a bottle and can drive. It raised $7,500.“We collected so much money in just a few weeks,” he says. “So I thought, why not keep this going as long as we can ”
Since then, Mateo says, his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local youth groups. It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
In 2023, Mateo was awarded a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. “It feels humbling,” Mateo says, when asked about all he’s accomplished with his cleanup effort.“I am happy knowing that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.”
Mateo believes everyone can — and should — be of service. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit of a better place,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on it.”
19. What motivated Mateo Lange to start his recycling program
A. He wanted to clean up his community.
B. His team needed money to travel to tournaments.
C. He was inspired by his father's love for the environment.
D. He was competing for the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.
20. What's Mateo’s attitude toward his achievements
A. Proud and excited. B. Humble and satisfied.
C. Overwhemed by the work. D. Calm and unconcerned.
21. What does Mateo suggest others should do to make a positive impact
A. Start a recycling program like his. B. Donate money to local charities.
C. Be creative and build on their ideas. D. Volunteer for community events.

Generation Z is different. As a whole, Americans born between the late 1990s and early 2000s are less likely to have work or look for it: their labour-force-participation rate is 71%, compared with 75% for millennials (born between 1980 and the late 1990s) and 78% for Generation X (born in the decade or so to 1980) when each came of age. As a result, they make up a smaller share of the workforce. With graduation ceremonies behind them, the latest group of diploma-holders are entering the job market. What they want from employers is also not quite the same as in generations past.
Although Gen-Z employees felt more lonely and isolated than their older colleagues at the start of the pandemic, the ability to work remotely has brought new possibilities. The benefits go beyond working in your pyjamas. Many are taking calls from beach chairs and hammocks (吊床) in more comfortable places or fleeing big cities in search for cheaper or larger homes.
This has big implications. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are falling out of favour with recent graduates. A study by ManpowerGroup, an employment company, suggests an inverse relationship (反比关系) between talent shortages and flexible working policies. The sectors which are either less able to offer remote work or have been slower to embrace it-including construction, finance and manufacturing-have faced some of the biggest skills gaps for all types of jobs.
That in turn has accelerated a pre-existing trend of young employees trading Wall Street for Silicon Valley. Now technology bosses are more willing than their opposite competitors in finance to let employees work from home (or anywhere else). Annual rankings of employer desirability by Universum, a graduate-staffing consultancy, bear this out. In 2008 the list of best employers graded by American graduates was dominated by big banks and the Big Four consulting firms. By 2021 seven of the ten highest spots were occupied by tech and media giants.
22. What does the underlined word “diploma-holders” in the first paragraph refer to
A. Employees. B. Students. C. Graduates. D. Shareholders.
23. Why do Gen-Z employees prefer work remotely
A. They can’t afford to live in big cities.
B. They want to spend their days on the beach.
C They want to work in a more flexible way.
D. They prefer wearing pyjamas while working
24. What does the study by ManpowerGroup suggest
A. All walks of life are facing some of the biggest skills gaps.
B. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are less popular.
C. Industries with flexible working policies may suffer talent shortages.
D. Construction, finance and manufacturing can’t offer remote work.
25. Why does the author mention Wall Street and Silicon Valley
A. To show that job-hopping among young employees is popular.
B. To indicate that young people prefer to work in big companies.
C. To weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of the two industries.
D. To prove that tech firms are more attractive due to its flexible working ways.
【答案】22. C 23. C 24. B 25. D

Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the south downs national park.
The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past-complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults 14, children 5—17 and students 6.50, under-4s free, family 38 (two adults and two children) or 25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10 a.m.—5 p.m. (last entry 4 p.m.).
16. What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum
A. Take a shower in the smoky hall. B. Learn construction techniques.
C. Experience rural life centuries ago. D. Stay overnight at craftsman s cottage.
17. How much would a couple with their 3-year-old daughter pay for admission
A. 25. B. 28. C. 34.5. D. 38.
18. What do we know about Weald & Downland Living Museum
A. It charges parking fees.
B. It allows visitors to enter until 5 p.m.
C. It is inconveniently located for bus riders.
D. It offers the disabled thoughtful service.

My mother told me Mrs White said, “The children are just ___37___ to get excited about using words, about ___38___ sentences. I don’t want to dampen (减弱) that ___39___ with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. The wonder of words won’t...” And maybe she didn’t ___40___ it exactly like that because it was a long time ago and what my mother told me was just what she could ___41___.
Thanks to Mrs White, I ___42___ up learning to use words with ___43___. I had no worry about writing what I ___44___ even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. A thought comes into my mind that if Mrs White had used her red pen precisely, I ___45___ wouldn’t be telling you about this now.

A
Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the south downs national park.
The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past-complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults 14, children 5—17 and students 6.50, under-4s free, family 38 (two adults and two children) or 25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10 a.m.—5 p.m. (last entry 4 p.m.).
16. What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum
A. Take a shower in the smoky hall. B. Learn construction techniques.
C. Experience rural life centuries ago. D. Stay overnight at craftsman s cottage.
17. How much would a couple with their 3-year-old daughter pay for admission
A. 25. B. 28. C. 34.5. D. 38.
18. What do we know about Weald & Downland Living Museum
A. It charges parking fees.
B. It allows visitors to enter until 5 p.m.
C. It is inconveniently located for bus riders.
D. It offers the disabled thoughtful service.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D
B
Recycling is beneficial for the environment. It can also benefit a community in surprising ways. Mateo Lange, 15, knows this well. On weekends, he can be found sorting through glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River, Michigan, where he leads a community recycling program.
Mateo launched the program in 2020 when he was just 11 and in the sixth grade, playing baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones, a new team that needed funds for traveling to tournaments. Mateo came up with a plan to deal with this need.
“There were cans and bottles always thrown around the road,” he recalled. In Michigan, these can be collected and exchanged for cash. With his dad’s help, Mateo started a bottle and can drive. It raised $7,500.“We collected so much money in just a few weeks,” he says. “So I thought, why not keep this going as long as we can ”
Since then, Mateo says, his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local youth groups. It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
In 2023, Mateo was awarded a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. “It feels humbling,” Mateo says, when asked about all he’s accomplished with his cleanup effort.“I am happy knowing that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.”
Mateo believes everyone can — and should — be of service. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit of a better place,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on it.”
19. What motivated Mateo Lange to start his recycling program
A. He wanted to clean up his community.
B. His team needed money to travel to tournaments.
C. He was inspired by his father's love for the environment.
D. He was competing for the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.
20. What's Mateo’s attitude toward his achievements
A. Proud and excited. B. Humble and satisfied.
C. Overwhemed by the work. D. Calm and unconcerned.
21. What does Mateo suggest others should do to make a positive impact
A. Start a recycling program like his. B. Donate money to local charities.
C. Be creative and build on their ideas. D. Volunteer for community events.
【答案】19. B 20. B 21. C
C
Generation Z is different. As a whole, Americans born between the late 1990s and early 2000s are less likely to have work or look for it: their labour-force-participation rate is 71%, compared with 75% for millennials (born between 1980 and the late 1990s) and 78% for Generation X (born in the decade or so to 1980) when each came of age. As a result, they make up a smaller share of the workforce. With graduation ceremonies behind them, the latest group of diploma-holders are entering the job market. What they want from employers is also not quite the same as in generations past.
Although Gen-Z employees felt more lonely and isolated than their older colleagues at the start of the pandemic, the ability to work remotely has brought new possibilities. The benefits go beyond working in your pyjamas. Many are taking calls from beach chairs and hammocks (吊床) in more comfortable places or fleeing big cities in search for cheaper or larger homes.
This has big implications. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are falling out of favour with recent graduates. A study by ManpowerGroup, an employment company, suggests an inverse relationship (反比关系) between talent shortages and flexible working policies. The sectors which are either less able to offer remote work or have been slower to embrace it-including construction, finance and manufacturing-have faced some of the biggest skills gaps for all types of jobs.
That in turn has accelerated a pre-existing trend of young employees trading Wall Street for Silicon Valley. Now technology bosses are more willing than their opposite competitors in finance to let employees work from home (or anywhere else). Annual rankings of employer desirability by Universum, a graduate-staffing consultancy, bear this out. In 2008 the list of best employers graded by American graduates was dominated by big banks and the Big Four consulting firms. By 2021 seven of the ten highest spots were occupied by tech and media giants.
22. What does the underlined word “diploma-holders” in the first paragraph refer to
A. Employees. B. Students. C. Graduates. D. Shareholders.
23. Why do Gen-Z employees prefer work remotely
A. They can’t afford to live in big cities.
B. They want to spend their days on the beach.
C They want to work in a more flexible way.
D. They prefer wearing pyjamas while working
24. What does the study by ManpowerGroup suggest
A. All walks of life are facing some of the biggest skills gaps.
B. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are less popular.
C. Industries with flexible working policies may suffer talent shortages.
D. Construction, finance and manufacturing can’t offer remote work.
25. Why does the author mention Wall Street and Silicon Valley
A. To show that job-hopping among young employees is popular.
B. To indicate that young people prefer to work in big companies.
C. To weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of the two industries.
D. To prove that tech firms are more attractive due to its flexible working ways.
【答案】22. C 23. C 24. B 25. D
