The 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique,” says Bradshaw with pride — and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that — and the need to do something about it.
The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate (娇嫩) flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land — as well as Natural England, which manages it — sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed. This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.
At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost $ 10,000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,” she says.
“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”
“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.”
4. What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants
A. Writing a book. B. Preventing their decrease.
C. Collecting their data. D. Directing farmers to grow plants.
5. What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale
A. Not enough sheep. B. Lack of fund.
C. Poor management. D. Too many sheep.
6. What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph
A. Unity brings strength. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Youthful at heart, regardless of age. D. Advance what the forerunners began.
7. Which might be a suitable title for the text
A. Teesdale:Home to Rare Plants B. Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers
C. Bradshaw:A97-Year-Old Gardener D. Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants
C
“Mek thisen at ‘ome, lass,” Dimbleby said in the Yorkshire dialect to the group of nearly two-dozen mostly grey-haired students, when the newspaper reporter arrived at his class. This class is part of an increasingly popular movement to revive the local dialect, once spoken by millions but now has almost died out.
“We’ve got to get more young people involved,” says Dimbleby. The feedback so far has been positive, but the class is mostly made up of retirees. He is hoping to run another course on Saturday mornings, when younger people are available. “Most people’s experience of dialect is what they heard from their grandparents. They’ve never read it or written it, so it’s been a new experience for them.”
There are some challenges in making it accessible though. As a spoken dialect with many variations (变体), the written aspect is various. How to correctly spell is a problem, because different people may pronounce it in different ways. For example, “nothing” in Yorkshire is “nowt”, but some people would read “out”, while in most of Yorkshire it has more of an “ohwt” sound that is hard to get across without resorting to the rules of pronunciation.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the Yorkshire dialect,” says Joanna Kaye, a retired host. “When we were children, we learned all Queen’s English. My mother, although she taught me to speak properly, she could speak in the dialect.”
Jean Crampton, here for the first time, has a notebook to write down words used by her parents, who died more than 10 years ago. “When I dressed up for the first time to go to grammar school, my dad said ‘dun’t she look grand’,” she said. “And that’s why I’ve come, to be reminded of them. After they died, that immediacy fades, and language is one of the things that can help bring it back into your mind, which is brilliant.”
8. What is Dimbleby’s suggestion for the dialect class
A. More activities to revive the dialect. B. More courses provided for retirees.
C. Greater participation of young people. D. Greater enthusiasm in elderly learners.
9. What does the underlined phrase ”resorting to“in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turning to B. Writing down. C. Summing up. D. Speaking of.
10 What makes Joanna Kaye interested in the Yorkshire dialect
A. The Queen’s charm. B. His mother’s influence.
C. His childhood dream. D. The requirement for a host.
11. Why did Jean Crampton go to the dialect class
A. To pass on the Yorkshire dialect. B. To share her father’s experiences.
C. To restore memories from her parents. D. To learn the Yorkshire dialect grammar.
D
Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激).
A study published on 12 October in Nature Neuroscience suggests that there might be periods during sleep when that shade is partially open.
A few years ago, Oudiette, a cognitive scientist in France, began questioning the definition of sleep after she and her team conducted an experiment in which they were able to communicate with people who are aware that they are dreaming while they sleep — otherwise known as clear dreamers. During these people’s dreams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements.
Karen Konkoly, who was a co-author on that study, says “it was a big open question in our minds whether communication would be possible with non-clear dreamers.”
So Oudiette continued with the work. In her latest study, she and her colleagues observed 27 people with narcolepsy (嗜睡症) — characterized by daytime sleepiness and a high frequency of clear dreams — and 22 people without the condition. While they were sleeping, participants were repeatedly asked to frown or smile. All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages.
This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss,a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards “fine grained” approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says.
12. What did scientists think of sleep in the past
A. It happens during different periods.
B. It is a shadow formed within the brain.
C. It suggests a weakening in the brain’s functions.
D. It means a stop in brain’s response to the outside.
13. How did clear dreamers react to the experimenters
A. By moving their face and eyes. B. By repeating the questions.
C. By providing accurate answers. D. By talking about their dream.
14. What can we learn about the participants in the latest study
A. They like sleeping in the daytime.
B. They remember their dreams clearly.
C. They do exactly as they’re told during sleep.
D. They show higher response in the deepest sleep.
15. What does Mélanie Strauss mainly tell us in the last paragraph
A. The limitation of using EEG. B. A cure for specific diseases.
C. The progress of the sleep research. D. A method of detecting sleep

Play is part of a parent-child friendship
Play is a crucial element of friendship with children. With babies and very young children, we parents play with them,engaging in back-and-forth activities like hide-and-seek and tower building. ____16____ They pull us into play, and we feel pleasure.
But delight hits a setback when our child learns how to say “no”. From this point onward —into adolescence —we focus on getting a child to behave.____17____ It’s parenting belief, not specifically defined, but often translated into “because I said so”.
While parents must help children learn to meet adult demands, when we limit our parenting focus to “command and control” we can crowd out “delight”. ____18____ If we can leave space for child-driven activities —without adult demands —we can return to delight. These interactions expand our relationship and help our child learn self-regulation and communication. It’s not the same as peer friendship, but we are being a friend.
____19____ The key is following your child’s lead. As they get older and they are deep into other things, friendly play might include teaching you to play their favorite video game or share their YouTube. Your child won’t want you to be their primary friend in these spaces, but being curious and kind is a way to be a friend and a parent. You will be an uncool friend who will never fully get it, but you will be a friend.
____20____ Especially as they get older, they will set more limits on it. But if you make a habit of friendly play with your child, that space will always be there between you, and it will vastly expand your parenting toolbox.
A. They often start the game, and we join in.
B Kids won’t always want you to play with them.
C. We are told in many ways to be the parent, not the friend.
D. Highlighting our role as taskmasters limits our parenting tools.
E. It can be a powerful tool for developing parent-child relationships.
F. This looks different from babyhood to youth but it’s always essential.
G. Friendly play with children can range from building blocks to hide-and-seek.

As parents started to arrive, our teacher . ____25____ the chattering children with a half-hearted smile. But when my mother ____26____,she commented, “Your daughter is such a nice girl in class. She’s a ____27____.” And there it was: my first “nice”.
Whether or not I knew it, a ____28____ had been set for my future behavior, though my teacher probably didn’t mean it.
As years passed, I became____29____ in the art of nice. But as much as I loved praise, I was too _____30_____ to dare be anything but nice.

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。
WINNING
Tom Perry concentrated hard. The rocket competition would begin shortly. He had never lost a contest, but that didn’t calm him. Tom glanced at the other rockets. They all had their own problems. One rocket, however, caught his eye. It’s perfect in every aspect. His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his. It belonged to a newcomer — ED. Suddenly, Ed turned, his sight pausing on Tom’s rocket. Admiring it for a while, he then gave Tom a thumbs- up with a smile.
The announcer began to explain the competition. Tom barely listened; he couldn’t help but repeatedly look over to Ed’s rocket. Suddenly his heart did a leap. Tom knew that Ed had no chance of winning. He had noticed that as Ed lifted his rocket to place it on the launch pad, one fin (翼) had caught against something on the ground, pulling it away from the rocket and making it loose. But Ed hadn’t noticed. He glanced back at Tom and gave another thumbs- up sign. Tom felt sorry but decided he wasn’t going to des troy a sure win by saying anything. Anyway, it was up to Ed to keep checking his rocket.
The contest began. Most gained respectable heights but none exceeded (超过)1,000 feet. Tom watched, but the problems the others had didn’t make him feel good. For the first time the looks on their faces bothered him.
Tom thought about the loose fin of Ed’s rocket, wondering if he should say something. He was lost in thought and didn’t hear his name being called. When it was repeated, it shocked him. He moved to the pad. With a shaky hand, he connected the wires to the igniter (点火器). Stepping back to the firing board, he took a deep breath and pushed the button. His rocket climbed wonderfully to a height of 1,100 feet. As he ran out into the field to pick up his rocket, he heard Ed’s name being announced.
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。
Ed lifted his rocket and approached the launch area.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The figure of 1,150 feet came as a shock to Tom.

【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D
【1题】
细节理解题。根据第二段“What is the most attracting part is its precision timing that’s accurate to four seconds a day —that’s more precise than a 27 jewel (宝石) automatic watch priced at over $6,000. (最吸引人的是它的精确计时,每天可以精确到4秒,比一块售价超过6000美元的27颗宝石自动手表还要精确)”可知,Stauer Urban Blue最好的地方是计时准确。故选B。
【2题】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At Stauer, we go directly to the source (cutting out the middleman),and engineer our own watch designs. This means we can offer a top quality timepiece that happens to only cost the same as two well-made cocktails at your favorite bar. (在Stauer,我们直接找到源头(省去了中间商),设计出我们自己的手表。这意味着我们可以提供一款高品质的手表,而价格恰好只相当于你最喜欢的酒吧里两杯精心调制的鸡尾酒的价格)”可知,Stauer Urban Blue的定价低是一位它是由自己的工厂自行设计的。故选D。
【3题】
细节理解题。根据文中“Limited to the first 1900 responders to this ad only. (仅限于此广告的前1900顾客)”;“Stauer Urban Blue Watch $199 (Stauer Urban Blue Watch售价199美元)”以及“Offer Code Price $29+S&P Save $170 (报价代码价格$29+运费和处理费用节省$170)”可知,如果您是第2000位客户,您应该支付199美元购买。故选D。
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
4题】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases. Her data was the first to prove that —and the need to do something about it.”(布拉德肖从20世纪50年代初就开始记录这里的珍稀植物,并见证了它们的大幅减少。她的数据是第一个证明这一点的人,也证明了对此采取措施的必要性。)可知,布拉德肖在珍稀植物方面的主要工作是收集它们的数据。故选C项。
【5题】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000,as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩)flowers, taking away the light they need to grow.”(这些植物减少的主要原因是一个不寻常的原因。到2000年,提斯代尔的羊数量减少了一半,因为人们普遍认为高地上羊太多了。布拉德肖说,虽然羊在一些高地地区被猎杀,但在提斯代尔减少放牧是具有破坏性的。较长的草遮住了娇弱的花朵,带走了它们生长所需的光。)可推知,没有足够的羊导致了提斯代尔稀有植物的减少。故选A项。
【6题】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours, “she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.””(“这是我们的遗产,这种独特的植物物种,我的和你的,”她写道。“尽管我努力了,但还是没能阻止它的减少,现在就看你的了。”)可推知,从最后一段布拉德肖的话中我们能了解到,她希望推进先行者开创这个事业。故选D项。
【7题】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.””(“我意识到我年纪越来越大了,我一直在努力让更多的人接手并做记录。他们不相信我不会永远在这里,”布拉德肖说。尽管布拉德肖守护着这片土地,她为拯救这片土地付出了爱和精力,但这里的未来仍是未知的。她书中的最后几句话讲述了这种无尽的失落。“这是我们的遗产,这种独特的植物物种,我的和你的,”她写道。“尽管我努力了,但还是没能阻止它的减少,现在就看你的了。”)可知,文章主要讲的是97岁的植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖(Margaret Bradshaw)是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人,她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。故文章最好的标题是“为提斯代尔的稀有花卉而奋斗”。故选B项。
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【8题】
细节理解题。根据第二段““We’ve got to get more young people involved,” says Dimbleby. The feedback so far has been positive, but the class is mostly made up of retirees. He is hoping to run another course on Saturday mornings, when younger people are available.”(“我们必须让更多的年轻人参与进来,”丁布尔比说。到目前为止,反馈是积极的,但课程主要由退休人员组成。他希望在年轻人有空的周六上午再开一门课)可知,丁布尔认为应该吸引更多的年轻人参与到约克郡方言的课程中。故选C。
【9题】
词义猜测题。第三段提到“different people may pronounce it in different ways”(不同的人可能会以不同的方式发音)后文中又举了个例子““nothing” in Yorkshire is “nowt”, but some people would read “out”, while in most of Yorkshire it has more of an “ohwt” sound”(约克郡的“nothing”是“nowt”,但有些人会读成“out”,而在约克郡的大部分地区,它更多的是“ohwt”的音)由此可知,不同地区对于某个词的发音是不一样的,如果不是借助于发音规则的话则很容易读成不一样的。A项turning to意为“转向;致力于;求助于”与划线部分意思一致。故选A。
【10题】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I’ve always been fascinated by the Yorkshire dialect,(我一直对约克郡方言着迷)”和“My mother, although she taught me to speak properly, she could speak in the dialect.”(我的母亲,虽然她教我说话得体,但她会说方言)可知,Kaye的母亲虽然会说得体的英语,但是她会说方言这一点让Kaye开始对约克郡方言感兴趣了。由此推知,Kaye对约克郡方言感兴趣是母亲的影响。故选B。
【11题】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Jean Crampton, here for the first time, has a notebook to write down words used by her parents, who died more than 10 years ago. (Jean Crampton第一次来到这里,她带着一个笔记本,记录她十多年前去世父母说过的话)”和““And that’s why I’ve come, to be reminded of them. After they died, that immediacy fades, and language is one of the things that can help bring it back into your mind, which is brilliant.””(“这就是我来这里的原因,想让他们提醒我。他们死后,那种直接感就消失了,语言是一种可以帮助你把它带回脑海的东西,这很聪明。”)可知,Jean去方言学习班学习方言是为了纪念和父母之间的回忆。故选C。
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【12题】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激). (科学家们曾经认为睡眠就像大脑和外部世界之间的窗户上蒙上的遮光帘:当遮光帘关闭时,大脑就会停止对外界刺激的反应。)”可知,科学家过去认为睡觉意味着大脑对外界的反应停止。故选D。
【13题】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“During these people’s reams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements. (在这些人的实验过程中,实验人员可以提出问题并通过他们眼睛和面部肌肉的运动得到回应。)”可知,清醒梦者通过面部和眼睛的移动来和实验人员交流,故选A。
【14题】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages. (所有参与者在REM(快速眼动)睡眠期间的总体反应率都高于其他睡眠阶段。REM是深度睡眠,但大脑仍相当活跃)”可知,参与者在深度睡眠阶段表现出更高的反应,故选D。
【15题】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss, a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards ‘fine grained’ approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says. (这项研究是睡眠研究领域更大进展的一部分,布鲁塞尔的认知科学家Mélanie Strauss说。她说,研究人员正在从主要通过脑电图监测睡眠,转向将脑电图与各种任务和刺激结合起来的‘细粒度’方法——一种有助于阐明特定疾病或状况的策略。)”可知,Mélanie Strauss主要讲述了睡眠研究的进展,故选C。
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. B
【16题】
根据上文“With babies and very young children, we parents play with them, engaging in back-and-forth activities like hide-and-seek and tower building.”(对于婴儿和很小的孩子,我们父母会和他们一起玩,玩捉迷藏和盖塔之类的来回游戏。)讲的是父母会和孩子一起玩游戏。以及下文“They pull us into play, and we feel pleasure.”(他们把我们拉进游戏,我们感到快乐。)提到孩子把我们拉进游戏。A项They often start the game, and we join in.(他们经常开始游戏,我们也加入进来。)起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【17题】

WINNING
Tom Perry concentrated hard. The rocket competition would begin shortly. He had never lost a contest, but that didn’t calm him. Tom glanced at the other rockets. They all had their own problems. One rocket, however, caught his eye. It’s perfect in every aspect. His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his. It belonged to a newcomer — ED. Suddenly, Ed turned, his sight pausing on Tom’s rocket. Admiring it for a while, he then gave Tom a thumbs- up with a smile.
The announcer began to explain the competition. Tom barely listened; he couldn’t help but repeatedly look over to Ed’s rocket. Suddenly his heart did a leap. Tom knew that Ed had no chance of winning. He had noticed that as Ed lifted his rocket to place it on the launch pad, one fin (翼) had caught against something on the ground, pulling it away from the rocket and making it loose. But Ed hadn’t noticed. He glanced back at Tom and gave another thumbs- up sign. Tom felt sorry but decided he wasn’t going to des troy a sure win by saying anything. Anyway, it was up to Ed to keep checking his rocket.
The contest began. Most gained respectable heights but none exceeded (超过)1,000 feet. Tom watched, but the problems the others had didn’t make him feel good. For the first time the looks on their faces bothered him.
Tom thought about the loose fin of Ed’s rocket, wondering if he should say something. He was lost in thought and didn’t hear his name being called. When it was repeated, it shocked him. He moved to the pad. With a shaky hand, he connected the wires to the igniter (点火器). Stepping back to the firing board, he took a deep breath and pushed the button. His rocket climbed wonderfully to a height of 1,100 feet. As he ran out into the field to pick up his rocket, he heard Ed’s name being announced.

【答案】范文
Ed lift cd his rocket and approached to the launch arca. Tom watched as Ed carefully placed his rocket on the launch pad making sure everything was in place. As Ed stepped back and prepared to push the button, Tom’s hear raced. He knew that the loose fin could cause the rocket to veer, off course, potentially causing it to crash. He couldn’t bear the thought of Ed losing because of a simple mistake that he had noticed but had’n mentioned. In a split second decision, Tom called out to Ed, warning him about the loose fin. Ed quickly checked his rocket and fixed the fin just in time. The rocket soared into the sky, reaching an amazing height.
The figure of 1150 feet came as a shock to Tom. He had been so sure that his rocket would be the highest, but Ed’s rocket had surpassed his by fifty feet. Tom felt a mix of emotions — disappointment a not winning, but also a sense of pride for doing the right thing by helping Ed. As the crowd cheered for Ed’s victory, Ed excitedly ran towards Tom and hugged him tightly, tears of gratitude streaming down. At that moment, Tom realized that winning wasn’t everything. He had gained something much more valuable-the respect of his peers and the satisfaction of knowing he had helped someone else succeed. From that day on, Tom made a promise to himself to always be a good sport, whether he won or lost.
