CAMDEN MARKET ULTIMATE GUIDE
Whatever your cup of tea is, you' re bound to find something that tickles your fancy at the Camden markets. It consists of more than a dozen of regular markets, with some of the most famous happening in Camden Lock, a legendary area in Camden Town. The Camden markets draw in 250, 000 tourists every week.
But believe it or not, the Camden markets are a relatively new addition to London, as the area surrounding Camden Lock was used primarily for agricultural and industrial purposes since before the 1800s.
Camden Market Highlights
Camden Lock Village Out of all the markets located in Camden, it is perhaps the most famous. These covered markets are full packed full of all sorts of unique and handmade items.
Camden Lock Market Not just limited to clothing, here you can also find food stalls offering food from all over the world, as well as handmade jewellery, second-hand clothing, books, and other random household items you won't find anywhere else in the city.
Inverness Street Market It may not be as big as the other Camden markets but don't let that stop you, as here you will find a variety of different specialty shops, as well as countless bars and restaurants. It is also a popular hang-out among locals for its fruit and vegetable markets, which have been around since the early 1900s.
Camden High Street It is a highly popular shopping area, and is packed full of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, many of which feature some interesting designs and logos on their facades(正面) that are worth taking a photo of. As a matter of fact, no Camden Town photo collection would be complete without a shot of the massive dragon at Camden High Street.

The crowd holds its breath. High above them on the climbing wall, hanging upside down by the tips of two fingers, is the French climber Francois Lombard. He is competing in the World Cup Climbing Championships at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena.
Until the mid-1960s, climbers practised their skills on cliffs in areas where there was a plentiful supply of good climbing angles. During the winter they would either put up with the cold weather, go walking instead or climb on snow and ice in Scotland.
However, as the sport developed it was increasingly important for top climbers to keep fit. With the cliffs unusable for much of the year, they used brick-edges or stone buildings to' work out on. This allowed them to keep their fingers strong, and beat off the boredom of not being able to climb. It wasn't long before many sports centres started building walls specifically for the task, using bricks with special edges to cling on to. Many of these early walls followed the example set by Don Robinson. Walls could only be built in a vertical plane(垂直面), while cliffs outside have features like overhangs and angled slabs(石板) of rock. There was the added problem that once the walls were up, their patterns were fixed and climbers would eventually tire of their repetitive nature, despite thinking of every combination of holds possible.
In 1985, a Frenchman, Francois Savigny, developed a material which he made into shapes like those that climbers would find on the cliffs. These could be fixed onto any existing wall and then taken off when climbers got bored with a particular combination.
4. What can be learned about the climbers before the mid-1960s
A. They relied on stone buildings for practice.
B. They found no place for training in the winter.
C. They practised their skills in a natural environment.
D. They were dissatisfied with their training equipment.
5. What does the underlined phrase “cling on to” in paragraph 3 mean

6. What problem did the climbing walls developed by Don Robinson have
A. They were not flexible at all. B. They were not safe enough.
C. They were not challenging at all. D. They looked like natural cliffs.
C
For years, twice a day Aadya Joshi walked past a dump filled with smelly rubbish in her neighborhood of south Mumbai on her way to and from school. Originally it was the garden of the local police station. When she was 15, during her summer holidays, Joshi decided to do something about it. “I walked into the police station and was like, ‘Can I please clean your garden ’” recalls Joshi. “It took three or four weeks to eventually convince them that I was not going to give up halfway and leave them with more work. ”
The plot of land covers an area of 60 square meters, about a quarter of a tennis court. But, over the course of four Sundays in the summer, with help of local residents, Joshi did more than clear it. She replanted it with native Indian plants and trees. Joshi said, “The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks.”
The idea for native planting came from Joshi’ s reading on the Miyawaki method of afforestation(植树造林) and the work of University of Delaware ecologist Douglas Tallamy. These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity. The results in Mumbai were immediate: monkeys now hang out at the police station, and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home.
After creating the garden, Joshi developed a database of 2,000 plants unique to the Indian subcontinent(次大陆) and last year was awarded the annual Children’ s Climate prize, founded by Swedish energy company Telge Energi. Her advice for others looking to follow in her footsteps:
“If you bite off more than you can chew in the beginning, you will be stuck and lose motivation,” she says. “But something small, like your neighborhood police station, it's very manageable.”
7. What was the dump before
A. It was the garden of south Mumbai.
B. It was the garden of the local school.
C. It was the garden of the local police station.
D. It was the research center of University of Delaware.
8. What can we learn from Joshi’ s words in the second paragraph
A. The garden was too large to clean. B. The cleaning was hard and dangerous.
C. Joshi was sick of the cleaning work. D. The work was enjoyable and rewarding.
9. What can we learn from Joshi's advice in the last paragraph
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.
C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. The longest journey starts from the first step.
10. What is the purpose of the text
A. To demonstrate the environment problems.
B. To call on attention to India's young people.
C. To persuade readers to donate to an environment program.
D. To advocate a teenager's efforts in caring about the world.
第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you love food Whether you' re a foodie or someone who just likes eating, there is so much to choose from. We know that too much of the wrong kind of food can be bad for our health, but for some people having a food allergy means that eating certain things can actually be harmful. Such cases may seem uncommon. 11
An allergy is caused by the immune (免疫的) system fighting substances in the environment. 12 It means that people have to follow strict dietary restrictions, otherwise their lives may be put at risk. Allergy specialist Dr. Adam Fox says“if you look back over, say,30 or 40 years…… there are much more serious allergic problems around now than there were.” 13 Last year a teenager died after suffering an allergic reaction from eating a piece of bread containing peanuts. This led to a call for better food-labeling laws.
Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children. 14 Dr. Alexandra Santos from King's College London says“food allergy now affects about 7% of children in the UK and 9% of those in Australia, for example. Across Europe, 2% of adults have food allergies.”
So what might be the cause Dr. Santos says, the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them. 15 She adds that possible factors are pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to bacteria, which change how our immune systems respond. She points out that it's very common for migrants who move to another country to develop food allergies in their new location.
A. It seems to be more environmental.
B. A food allergy can affect you at any age.
C. Yet in fact, food allergies are affecting more and more of us.
D. Food allergies can result in some life-threatening reactions.
E. A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure, but that's not easy.
F. More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain food.
G. We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products or to nuts.

第五节 读后续写 (满分 25 分)
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。
It all started at tea-time. Mrs. Bendall, Dicky's mother, and Mrs. Spears, who was spending the afternoon with her, were quietly sitting and sewing in the drawing room. The children were eating their bread and butter nicely and quietly, and the servant girl had just poured out the milk and water, when Dicky suddenly took the bread plate, put it upside down on his head, and held the bread knife tightly.
“Look at me!” he shouted.
His shocked sisters looked, and before the servant girl could get there, the bread plate shook, slid to the floor and broke into small pieces. At this awful point the little girls lifted up their voices and shouted their loudest.
“Mother, come and look what he's done!”
“Dicky's broken a great plate!”
“Come and stop him, mother!”
Can you imagine how mother came running But she was too late. Dicky had jumped out of his chair, run through the window on to the veranda(走廊), and, well—— there she stood— helpless. What could she do She couldn't chase after the child. She couldn't hunt for Dicky through the apple trees. That would be undignified (不体面的).
“Very well, Dicky, ” she cried, “I shall have to think of some way of punishing you.”
Seeing this, Mrs. Spears said, “Oh, my dear. I'm sure you make a great mistake in trying to bring up children without beating them. Nothing really takes its place.” “Believe me. There is nothing like handing the naughty kid to his father, ” she added.
Mrs. Bendall, deep inside, was terribly shocked to hear the advice. But Mrs. Spears seemed to take it as a normal thing, so she did it too.
The children had gone to bed before Dicky's father Edward came back. Mrs. Bendall rushed to him, “You have to beat Dicky.”
“But why on earth should I start beating him ” responded Edward. “We’ ve never done it before. ”
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。
After he heard the reason, a burst of anger went through him.

The Power of Smiling
Smiling is a small act but can make a big difference. Last week, I took part in an English speech contest. Standing on the stage, I felt very nervous, nearly forgetting my words. Just then, I spotted my teacher Miss Zhang in the audience, who gave me a warm smile. That smile was like a beam of light, encouraging me to perform well in the contest.
The experience made me realize how powerful a simple smile can be. It has the ability to convey support, provide comfort and give people the courage to face challenges.
So, let’s embrace the power of smiling, see the good in life and share it with those around us.
第五节：读后续写（25分）
After he heard the reason, a burst of anger went through him. Edward couldn’t believe that Dicky had been so uncontrollable. He had always believed in gentle and understanding parenting. Edward sat down with Dicky and asked him to explain his actions. Dicky, feeling regretful, admitted that he had acted foolishly. He explained that he had done it to get attention, as he often felt left out when his mother was busy with guests or his sisters. Edward realized Dicky’s need for more attention and guidance.
Instead of beating him, Edward decided to talk openly with Dicky. He explained how his actions affected the family. He also promised to spend more quality time with him and make him feel valued. This incident became a turning point in their relationship. Dicky learned the importance of expressing his feelings and needs in a more appropriate way while Edward understood the significance of being a patient and attentive father. They both grew closer through communication, proving that violence was not necessary to teach important life lessons.
