Bike Tour of the Hidden Gems of AmsterdamTime
Wednesday, July 11, at 13:00—16:00Meeting point
Mike’s Tours, Oosterdoksstraat 106,1011DK AmsterdamAbout the tour
Amsterdam is famous for its biking culture and art scene. During this fun three-hour bike tour, which covers 12 km (8 miles), you’ll experience the attractions in a relaxed group setting, with a few extra surprises along the way. With your local guide, you’ll go on an Urban Adventure through parts of Amsterdam the average tourist doesn’t see. Passing by unique architecture (both old and new), centuries-old industrial zones and former shipyards, you’ll discover some of the hidden urban gems of Amsterdam.
We set off at Central Station, which is convenient if you are using public transport as all of the main transport methods have stops there. Once you’ve been fitted out with a traditional Dutch bike, we will bike across to the Western part of the city exploring the 17th Century harbour area of Prinseneiland and the working class neighbourhood of Jordaan.
We will take a short ferry (轮渡) ride across the IJ to see some of the up-and-coming locations of the former shipyards of Amsterdam North. Here you will see some of the industrial buildings. These areas are also well-known for their impressive street art. As part of this tour, you will have the opportunity to create your own artistic masterpieces, as in the north, anything goes, as long as it’s beautiful.
21．How long will the bike tour last
A．Two hours. B．Three hours. C．Six hours. D．Eight hours.
22．Where does the bike tour start
A．Jordaan. B．Mike’s Tours. C．Prinseneiland. D．Central Station.
23．What is a feature of the areas in Amsterdam North explored during the tour
A．They offer ferry rides free of charge. B．They have no public transport at night.
C．They are famous for amazing street art. D．They are crowded with foreign visitors.
Dr. Maryam Ahmed’s love for science started in college. When she first came to the U. S., she didn’t have a clear plan. Like many international students, she was still figuring out how to adjust to a new country, and a future that wasn’t fully mapped out. In those early days at the University of Virginia, she was exploring different classes, just trying to see what clicked.
One of those classes was virology (病毒学). She didn’t expect much from it at first, but the more she learned, the more it made sense. It wasn’t just about viruses; it was about understanding how tiny viruses could affect people in big ways. That class helped her find her path.
She finished her biology degree at the University of Virginia, and then earned her Ph. D．at Wake Forest University. There, she studied how viruses develop and cause disease. “I got excited about how viruses specifically cause disease and affect human health,” she recalls.
Now, Dr. Ahmed is a professor and a leading researcher at Ohio University. Her team changes viruses so they target and kill cancer (癌症) cells without harming healthy ones. “I look at viruses from a very positive view now,” she says. “Not only as something that causes disease, but as something that can be used to fight cancer.”
Besides research, Dr. Ahmed has been working closely with students and teachers to modernize the curriculum (课程). She wants classes to be more hands-on and connected to real-world problems. She also talks to communities, especially in rural areas, to explain how viruses and vaccines work. She believes science should be shared with everyone, not just experts.
To her students interested in virology at Ohio University, Dr. Ahmed’s ad vice is simple. “For me, that first step, curiosity, has the power to change everything. It certainly did for me,” she says. “Ask questions, and work together, and then you can do amazing things.”
24．How did the virology class affect Dr. Ahmed
A．It gave her directions. B．She became afraid of virology.
C．She disliked medicine. D．It enabled her to study abroad.
25．What is Dr. Ahmed’s opinion about viruses
A．They won’t be used to help save lives. B．They are a major health risk to her team.
C．They can be turned into a cure for cancer. D．They are just something that causes disease.
26．What does Dr. Ahmed work on besides research
A．Teachers’ payment. B．Science education.
C．Students’ life skills. D．The ties of friendship.
27．What does Dr. Ahmed advise her students to do
A．Stay curious. B．Make a detailed plan.
C．Do easy jobs. D．Develop a good habit.
New research shows how people living in South Arabia thousands of years ago built stone monuments (纪念碑) to adapt to changing environmental and cultural conditions. These people were pastoralists, who moved around with animals like goats and cattle. As the land changed from green and rainy to arid and desert-like, they changed how they built monuments.
At first, when the land had more rain, large groups worked together to build big stone monuments in a single effort, often using very large stones. It took at least seven strong men to lift the biggest stones. Some of these larger monuments could serve large gatherings of people, where they could gather with many cattle herds, and have animal sacrifices (祭祀) along with feasts.
As the region became more arid and could no longer support large numbers of people nor their coming together, small groups traveled widely, going to where they could find water and grass for their animals. As a result, smaller groups built smaller monuments with smaller stones. These were often built over many years, with people returning to add more parts. These are called accretive monuments, such as triliths — stone structures made from three stones.
Even though the monuments became smaller, the key role that these monuments played in people’s lives remained the same. As these groups spread out in the desert, these monuments helped people maintain a community, even with those they may rarely see. People could leave signs, share messages, or mark important places. Some may have even helped others know if it had rained recently or if grass was available.
Professor Joy McCorriston, who led the study, explained, “In many cases, they were building a memory. They came to a monument and added their pieces. The monuments delivered readable meanings to others who shared the same cultural context (背景).”
28．What does the underlined word “arid” in the first paragraph mean
A．Dry. B．Poor. C．Cool. D．Windy.
29．What can be learned about the earlier-built monuments
A．They were visited by smaller groups. B．They were made of large stones.
C．They were mainly used for sacrifices. D．They were built over many years.
30．Why did the pastoralists spread out in the desert according to the text
A．For the traditional view. B．For the large population.
C．For the city development. D．For the bad environment.
31．What can we infer about the stone monuments
A．They were the carrier of advances in buildings.
B．They play the same role in people’s lives now.
C．They brought the pastoralists a shared identity.
D．They are difficult to recognize in the desert.
A team led by Geoffrey W. Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, announced they had found two planetary systems, one of them just 15 light-years away from the Earth. Each system features a star roughly similar to the sun and some very unusual planets.
Among the 50 or so stars where extra-solar planets have been studied, scientists have reported only one with more than a single planet. These new systems bring some surprises. One has a huge object which may be a failed star. The other system has two planets that move in a special way around their star.
The planets were not seen directly. Instead, the group measured the wobbles that the orbiting bodies produce in their respective suns. The wobble is caused by the pull of the planets as they orbit their stars.
In the first system, the sun-like star HD 168443 is 123 light-years away from the Earth. One planet, already known, is seven times the size of Jupiter. Now, the researchers find that HD 168443 has a second companion, which is at least 17 times bigger than Jupiter. That’s too massive for a normal planet but not quite big enough to be a real star. It might be a “brown dwarf”, a kind of failed star.
The second system orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 876. One planet orbits the star in 61 days. The other orbits in about 30 days. These two planets pull on each other and move in a stable (稳定的) pattern.
The planets’ orbital harmony may enable the researchers to measure the actual mass of each body. Geoffrey speculates (推测) that the two haven’t always had this special relationship. The inner one has moved close r to the parent star and the outer one followed at a more rapid clip. “Understanding this system could open windows on the diversity of planet formation in the universe,” Geoffrey says.
32．What can we know about the two planetary systems
A．They will become livable in the near future.
B．They will fall into failed stars in some ways.
C．They are the same as the sun and other planets.
D．They are different from the stars studied before.
33．How does the author present the first system in paragraph 4
A．By giving examples. B．By making a summary.
C．By explaining an idea. D．By drawing comparisons.
34．What are Geoffrey’s words mainly about
A．The significance of the finding. B．A way to measure a planet.
C．A problem with the far planets. D．The importance of finding life.
35．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Relationships between the Sun and the Earth B．Scientists Found New Planetary Systems
C．The Force Affecting the Movement of Planets D．Planet Hunters Explored the Solar System
Communication is key in the workplace. 36 . Becoming a good communicator starts with practice and intention. Here are some effective strategies to improve your communication skills.
37
It’s important to consider who you’re speaking with when determining the best way to communicate. People may interpret (理解) messages differently due to factors like their cultural backgrounds, age, and communication styles. So adapting messages to different audiences will only become more important.
Knowing what you want to say
38 . The way you order your words matters, and it can be easier to speak clearly when you’ve already thought through your ideas. For example, you want to ask for a raise. Entering the conversation knowing how you plan to ask the question can help calm anxiety and make you appear more confident.
Reading the room
Knowing how to read the room is another important part, as people’s attitudes and reactions to your words may change as you communicate. For example, if you’re giving a work presentation and notice some people look confused, it may be a good time to pause (暂停) and ask if anyone has questions. 39 .
Staying simple and direct
Effective communication is often concise (简明的) and to the point. 40 . For example, if you’re giving a task to a new hire, explain the exact deliverable and provide a specific due date that includes the day and time. Don’t offer more information than they need or talk about future responsibilities. Focus on what is required at that moment.
A．Understanding your audience
B．It depends on personal preference
C．Delivering a concise message to your coworkers
D．Keeping your message simple can avoid miscommunication
E．Be clear about your intention before starting a conversation
F．Good communication skills can lead to a positive working environment
G．This helps match your audience and make sure you stay on the same page

The Whittlesea Straw (稻草) Bear festival, a traditional event in Cambridgeshire town’s calendar, returned to the town on January 11. Despite the cold weather, many people 56 (gather) to watch the parade, with dancers and musicians accompanying the Straw Bear and 57 (it) keepers through the streets. The Straw Bear was paraded alongside the Bourne Borders dance troupe (剧团), a Morris dancing group 58 (know) for wearing bright yellow and green outfits, green face paint, 59 colourful flowery hats.
60 tradition of parading the Straw Bear through the village is believed to have started in the 1880s, but the exact date remains unclear. 61 (undoubted), the parade of the straw bear was a way to honour the agricultural communities.

六、书面表达
67．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。
John was a 15-year-old boy who lived with his mother. His father, Mr. Brown, was a pilot who often traveled for work and couldn’t be home very often. Because of this, John didn’t see his father much — sometimes only once or twice a month. Although his mother always cared for him, John still missed his father’s company. He didn’t complain, but he felt a little disappointed each time his dad missed an important moment.
One day, John’s school announced a tech fair. Students could design a creative project. John was excited about the fair as he was attracted to handwork. He decided to build a smart robot that could follow voice commands (指令). Over the following two weeks, he threw himself into the project, staying late after school almost every day. He practiced his presentation and imagined his parents clapping (鼓掌).
Before finishing the project, John called his dad excitedly and told him about the fair, “Dad, this is the first time for me to build a smart robot. I wonder if you could join me there.”
“I really want to be there,” Mr. Brow n said over the phone, “but I might have a flight that day. I’ll try my best.”
The day of the fair came. The hall was full of students and their parents. John’s mother stood in the crowd, smiling and holding her phone to take pictures. But his father didn’t show up. John still did a great job in his presentation, but deep inside, he felt a little sad.
That evening, when he got home, John found a handwritten note on the kitchen table: “I’m sorry I couldn’t come. I’m proud of you. Let’s build a better one together next weekend.” Just then, John’s phone buzzed. It was a message from his dad: “Call me if you’re still awake.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
John picked up the phone and quickly called his father
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That promise made John feel much better.

My families and relatives gave me some lucky money and wished me to make progress on my study. I also hung out with friends in the street. When the atmosphere of Spring Festival was just fading away, the Lantern Festival was coming. After that, I don’t have too much holiday time left.

66．Dear Jason,
I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. Of the two options, I think “Art” deserves our attention and here are my reasons.
Art serves as a universal language that has the power to enrich our spiritual realm. By exploring diverse art forms like painting, music, and dance, we can elevate students’ aesthetic appreciation and cultural sensitivity. Furthermore, describing artworks and their cultural contexts in English provides rewarding language practice, enhancing vocabulary and descriptive skills. In a world dominated by technology, an art column offers a refreshing break, fostering holistic development.
Hopefully, this column will bring color to our school life.
Yours,
Li Hua
67．John picked up the phone and quickly called his father. To his surprise, his father answered almost at once. “Hey, champ,” his dad said gently, “I saw the photos your mom sent. You looked amazing up there.” John smiled, though his voice trembled a little. “I really wanted you to be there,” he said softly. There was a pause. Then his father replied, “I know. I’m sorry. But next weekend, I’ve cleared my schedule. Just you and me — robot time.”
That promise made John feel much better. The disappointment from the tech fair faded as anticipation for the weekend grew. He spent days enhancing his robot, researching new features. On the weekend morning, John woke up early, tools and materials ready. Every sound outside made his heart race. When Mr. Brown finally arrived, John greeted him with a huge smile. They worked together, chatting and laughing. John realized that despite his father’s busy schedule, this moment was what truly mattered — a promise kept and memories made.
