Discovering England’s Ancient Stone Circles
Stonehenge is perhaps England’s most famous prehistoric heritage, but it’s just the beginning. For travelers who are interested in ancient history and mysterious sites, exploring England’s other stone circles offers a more personal and quite different experience. These sites, lying across the English countryside, invite you to slow down and imagine the far past.
First, let’s start with Stonehenge in Wiltshire. This circle of massive stones, aligned (对准) with the sun, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While often busy with visitors, its size and long-lasting mystery are still attractive. For a quieter choice in the same region, visit Avebury. Located nearby, this is the world’s largest stone circle. Unlike Stonehenge, you can walk freely among its ancient stones, which encircle part of a beautiful village. The experience feels close and connected to history.
Traveling southwest, you’ll find the Rollright Stones on the Oxfordshire-Warwickshire border (边界) . This excellent site is made up of three separate groups of stones: the King’s Men Stone Circle, the Whispering Knights Burial Chamber and the King Stone. Local stories give this place a magical feel.
Finally, hidden in the beautiful Lake District is Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick. Many consider this one of England’s most picturesque stone circles, with a breathtaking natural background of surrounding mountains.
While less famous than Stonehenge, these sites are often free to visit and allow you to get much closer to the stones. They provide a wonderful opportunity to discover different types of ancient heritage and feel the atmosphere (氛围) of these ancient places without the crowds. A tour of England’s stone circles is a journey into the heart of Britain’s ancient landscape.
21．Where is the world’s largest stone circle
A．In Wiltshire. B．In Oxfordshire. C．In Warwickshire. D．In Lake District.
22．Which site is made up of three different groups of ancient stones
A．Stonehenge. B．Avebury. C．The Rollright Stones. D．Castlerigg Stone Circle.
23．What makes visiting England’s other stone circles better than Stonehenge
A．They are larger and more historically important.
B．They are easier to reach by public transportation.
C．They offer a quieter and more personal experience.
D．They have more detailed visitor information centers.
In a workshop, Rohan Sharma faced mountains of plastic. To most, it was worthless waste. But Rohan saw a different truth. In each piece, he saw a misplaced resource (资源) waiting for a second chance. For three years, Rohan stuck to his opinion, tirelessly experimenting in a cloud of plastic dust. The journey was lonely, but the belief that problem had its own solution kept him moving.
The finding was simple. Rohan discovered that by cutting the plastic into fine pieces and mixing them with natural materials, he could create a slab (厚片) . It was cool to touch and surprisingly strong. He called it “PlastRock”. Unlike the heavy bricks commonly used, PlastRock was remarkably light. Most importantly, every slab had a meal of plastic waste. A local school offered a real-world test — a small storage room. The rainy season arrived with its full power, hitting the structure for weeks. The PlastRock walls stood dry while nearby traditional walls showed signs of decay (腐烂) .
Orders began to flow. Rohan’s small workshop developed into a proper startup. He hired from the community of former waste pickers, individuals who knew the plastic landscape. He was not just building a business, but also solving an environmental problem.
Standing beside a wall of PlastRock, Rohan said, “People see the end of plastic’s life. I see the beginning of a wall. PlastRock is a simple idea: that nothing is truly without value and that our biggest challenges often hide the very materials we need to overcome them.” His story became a test of the power of looking at the familiar with different eyes.
24．How did Rohan Sharma see plastic waste
A．He thought it should be buried. B．He believed it was easy to deal with.
C．He viewed it as something of great value. D．He treated it as something without any use.
25．What is a big strength of PlastRock compared with traditional bricks
A．It is more attractive. B．It can stay dry in heavy rain.
C．It is more colorful and softer. D．It takes longer time to clean.
26．What social effect does Rohan Sharma’s research bring
A．It attracts interest from architects. B．It causes people to use less plastic.
C．It greatly promotes local construction businesses. D．It provides former waste pickers with new chances.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．The Man Inventing a New Brick B．The Man Concentrating on Plastic
C．The Man Building a Business on Waste D．The Man Turning Plastic into Green Gold
Have you wondered how an animal that loses a leg can still run quickly A new study shows that their secret isn’t just about biology — it holds a key to solving some of our most difficult challenges.
Researchers at Temple University set out to understand how the wolf spider adapts after losing legs. Using high-speed cameras, they recorded the spiders’ movements before and after losing two legs. The discovery was amazing: the spiders almost at once regained their former running speed and stability (稳定性), with little changes to their step length.
The secret lies in the spider’s ability to change between different walking ways without needing to learn, which is known as “robust motion control”. Instead of sticking to one fixed way, the spiders use a mixed-use way. For example, they might sometimes use a three-legged way, and then change to a four-legged way, all within the same run. They also cleverly change their movements by putting their remaining legs wider and using their strongest back legs as the main pushing power.
This is valuable for human inventions, especially in robotics. Today, a robot that suffers damage to a leg or motor often becomes stuck. However, by copying the spiders, engineers hope to create the next generation robots. The new robots can be designed just like the spiders and even react effectively in a leg-lost situation.
These future machines would be able to change their movements after suffering damage, continuing their tasks. This would make them perfect for dangerous work in challenging environments — such as exploring other planets or working deep underwater. Therefore, the small spider is really a good teacher and inspires us to build new technology to deal with the difficulties in our real life and make a breakthrough in some field.
28．What does the underlined word “regained” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Recovered. B．Lost. C．Destroyed. D．Conducted.
29．What does the study find about the spiders after losing legs
A．They go through a long time of learning. B．They use an unchanging way of moving.
C．They change between different moving ways. D．Their speed and stability are forever reduced.
30．What can we learn about the next generation robot from the last paragraph
A．They will replace humans in time. B．They will teach humans new technology.
C．They will be able to think by themselves. D．They will do dangerous work for humans.
31．What is the purpose of the text
A．To explore the life habits of the wolf spider. B．To describe a scientific experiment on spiders.
C．To argue that spiders are the smartest animals. D．To show how spider biology helps human in robotics.
At first sight, plays written 2,500 years ago in ancient Greece might seem like old museum pieces. They may seem to be old-dated and out of fashion. However, The case may be the opposite. A new educational fashion is bringing these classic stories, especially by the famous writer Sophocles, into the life of modern teenagers. Educators find that these ancient plays powerfully explore human questions about family, life and identity — themes deeply connected with young people today.
A key person in this movement is Bryan Doerries, a director who founded an organization called Theater of War. He stages simple readings of Greek plays, like Sophocles’ Ajax and Philoctetes, in schools and communities. These plays often focus on soldiers returning home with deep physical and psychological (心理的) wounds. Doerries noticed that after these performances, audience members, including many teenagers, were thirsty to share their own personal stories of struggle and loss. The ancient characters’ experiences opened a safe space for them to discuss difficult modern issues.
This educational means works because it creates a psychological distance. When teenagers discuss the problems of an ancient king or hero, they can more easily explore similar feelings in their own life — like pressure, anger or confusion — without feeling directly judged. As one educator explained, it allows students to look at life through art, making personal issues feel more manageable.
The project has shown amazing results. It helps students build empathy (同情) by connecting with characters from another time. More importantly, it develops their critical (批判性的) thinking skills when they discuss the characters’ difficult choices. Finally, by connecting with these ancient characters, students get a new understanding of their own challenges, discovering that their feelings and questions are part of a shared human experience that dates back thousands of years. Therefore, they may learn from similar situations and make necessary changes if possible.
32．Why are ancient Greek plays considered effective for modern teenagers
A．They are written by a famous writer. B．They are short and easy to understand.
C．They are performed with modern music. D．They explore themes teenagers face today.
33．What change did Doerries find on teenagers after they saw the performances
A．They wanted to see more. B．They were likely to work harder.
C．They shared their experiences. D．They suffered great struggle and loss.
34．What is a probable benefit of the psychological distance created by ancient plays
A．It makes the stories more interesting to students.
B．It allows students to discuss personal feelings openly.
C．It helps students remember historical dates more easily.
D．It proves that ancient people had easier lives than people today.
35．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The process of the project. B．The effects of the project.
C．The future plan of the project. D．The difficulties of the project.
Four Ideas to Help Your Student Club Succeed
Starting or running a student club can be rewarding, but it also comes with challenges like lack of involvement (参与). While you can’t make every idea work perfectly, you can create a positive environment that focuses on growth, builds a strong community and helps your club reach its goal. 36
Fix a clear purpose. A club without a clear goal can quickly lose direction and member interest. 37 Is it to develop a specific skill, compete in events, serve the community or simply provide a space for shared interests Having a clear purpose guides your activities and gives everyone a goal to work towards.
Plan inviting, various activities. To keep members excited, various activities and forms are key. Avoid falling into a routine of repetitive meetings. Mix skill-building workshops, guest speaker talks and teamwork projects. Try a new form, like holding a meeting in a different place. 38
Empower (赋能) your members. A successful club isn’t a one-person show. 39 Playing roles allows more members to develop leadership skills and feel a stronger sense of ownership. When people feel valued and responsible, their love for the club grows greatly.
40 The journey is as important as the destination. Regularly recognize and appreciate both individual and group achievements. Did you host a successful fundraiser Welcome several new members Improve your team’s performance Take time to appreciate these achievements in meetings. Celebrating achievements rewards the value of everyone’s effort, and builds a positive club culture.
A．Celebrate your wins.
B．Here are some practical ideas to help you.
C．Taking on all the work yourself leads to tiredness.
D．A clearly stated direction acts as your club’s road-map.
E．Variety keeps meetings fresh and attracts wider members.
F．For example, you can end each semester with a fun activity.
G．Actively involve others in planning activities and decision-making.

The newly published book, Qinqiang Opera, offers a close look into the time-honored art form. A guide to Qinqiang Opera 56 (publish) by CITIC Press Group in Beijing last month. Titled Qinqiang Opera, the album (相册) serves as both a systematic art collection and a visual (可视化的) album, covering 300 high-quality stage 57 (image) and detailed hand- drawn pictures that offer readers a close look into the difficult art form and its thousand- year development.
The publication represents an important 58 (contribute) to the efforts to document and safeguard the cultural heritage. Not only does it track the art form’s historical development over a thousand years, but it also 59 (clear) shows the artistic lives and hard work of 14 inheritors (继承人), highlights the stagecraft of 12 modern master performers and explores the 60 (create) work of nine key troupes (剧团) . Together, these factors provide materials of Qinqiang Opera as a living cultural tradition.
Author Ding Kemin, 61 researcher in Chinese opera arts, explains that Qinqiang Opera experienced transformative development in its musical and performative form, reaching its highest point in the Qing Dynasty 62 it enjoyed nationwide popularity.
Despite its rich heritage, most publications on the subject 63 (intend) for specialists and professional troupes, leaving a gap in attractive materials for general readers. Thus, Ding created the book to bridge scholarship and popular understanding, 64 (mix) ancient tradition with youthful interest and classic art with modern performance. The book aims to introduce Qinqiang Opera 65 a broader audience and bring the art form beyond professional circles.

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。
I never spoke in Mr. Thompson’s eighth-grade history class. Not a single word all year. My stutter (口吃) since childhood made public speaking my worst nightmare. I perfected the art of being unseen — sitting in the back, avoiding eyes, begging never to be called on. Most teachers, after a few failed attempts, gradually let me sit in the background. But Mr. Thompson was different. He would ask a question, his kind eyes looking around the room and stopping at my desk. The silence would continue until he gently moved on. I hated those stops. I thought they were filled with his pity, or worse, his impatience.
Our only communication was through writing. I handed in articles filled with thoughts I could never voice. He returned them with careful notes in green ink — not just corrections, but questions, encouragements and connections to ideas. In the margins (空白) of an essay, he once wrote: “True courage is not about being without fear, but speaking up even when your voice shakes. Your writing has a powerful voice, Alex”. I treasured those notes but refused the man. I believed he was showing the very thing I couldn’t do.
The final project was a 10-minute oral presentation (口头陈述). My heart sank. I spent weeks in worry. The night before the due date, I found an envelope (信封) from Mr. Thompson in my backpack. Inside was not a note, but a single key and a small map of the school drawn on notepaper. An “X” marked the old, unused hall at the far end of the building. No words, just the quiet invitation of an “X”.
Holding the cool key, my confusion slowly turned into a flash of understanding. Could this be a way out A secret escape from my public fear My heart beat with a mix of fear and hope as I turned the key in the hall’s side door that evening after school.注意：
（1）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。
Opening the door, I saw Mr. Thompson sitting in the front row, holding a small recorder.

The next day, I felt nervous before my classmates, but my hand found the key in my pocket.

66．Dear Mart,
Learning that you are concerned about our “Telling Chinese Stories in English” activity, I’m writing to share with you relevant information.
To improve our students’ English skills and enrich our school life, our school held the activity last month. 20 students took part in the competition. Several English teachers were invited to act as the judges. Every student tried to show their best and the audience was very enthusiastic, cheering and applauding for their excellent performances.
Not only did this activity improve our English skills, but it also enriched our school life.
Yours,
Li Hua
67．One possible version:
Opening the door, I saw Mr. Thompson sitting in the front row, holding a small recorder. My face was burning with embarrassment. Had he tricked me “Hello, Alex,” he said, his voice calm. “This room is the best in the school. I think if you’re going to find your voice, it should be in a place that makes it sound brave.” He pointed to the recorder. “No one else needs to hear this but you and me. And you only need to speak to yourself.” He then turned his back to the stage. “Pretend I’m not here. Just talk to the silence.”
The next day, I felt nervous before my classmates, but my hand found the key in my pocket. I closed my eyes for a second, imagining the empty hall and Mr. Thompson’s back. When I began to speak, my words tripped at first. Then I remembered the clear sound of my voice from the recorder. I took a deep breath. Words didn’t flow easily, but they did come. I spoke as I had practiced. When I finished, the students were quiet first, and then burst into applause. My eyes found Mr. Thompson’s. He gave me a meaningful nod. I knew at that very moment that I had overcome my fear with his help, for which I would always be thankful.
