1 . Do you know you can learn to program computers at any age? People might think you need a special mentality to learn computer programming, but anyone can learn. There are even programming languages created for kids. Scratch is a visual programming language developed by MIT. It is designed to teach kids aged 8 and up how to write code. They use easily combined block commands and start programming right away!

Today, even small computers can do complex calculations quickly, but they need clear commands in binary(二进制. form. A programming language is a series of commands with special syntax that is converted into binary, the machine language. Different programming languages are used to convert code into binary for different applications, like creating websites or controlling the brakes in your car.

There are many different ways to write code, but they all share some basic principles. Once you understand those principles, the sky is the limit. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, started coding when he was 13. He created a simple program to play tic﹣tac﹣toe. According to Gates, all you really need to get started is a basic comprehension of addition and subtraction.

Programming is now used for everything from creating apps to running household appliances.

The demand for programmers is growing. To help people to create their own code, nonprofits like code.org and major companies like Google have created free resources to help teach basic programming. Using the popular game Minecraft or characters from Star Wars, anyone, even kindergarteners, can start learning how code works. But these resources aren't just for kids, people can start at any age.

Maybe you are thinking to yourself,"I'll never get a job as a programmer. Why should I learn to code?" There are a number of answers to that question. Above all, as technology becomes more and more prevalent, reading and writing code will be a way to understand how the world around you works.

Just like reading and writing in any language, the first things you learn will be simple and even crude. But stay diligent, learn a little every day, and soon you will find yourself programming a computer to do things you would never do by hand. Then you might just become a programming convert.

1. Even small computers can do complex calculations if they have________.
A.clear commands in the machine language
B.special syntaxes
C.a series of commands
D.different applications
2. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about________.
A.ways of coding

2 . The good news is that more people bought electric cars in 2020. The bad news is that SUVs continued to grow in popularity, too. The fall in oil consumption due to the first trend was completely cancelled out by the second, say Laura Cozzi and Apostolos Petropoulos at the International Energy Agency (IEA) in France.

The growing popularity of SUVs is making it even harder to cut carbon dioxide emissions(排放)and meet climate goals. “Policy-makers need to find ways to persuade consumers to choose smaller and more efficient cars,” says Petropoulos.

Oil consumption by conventional cars – not including SUVs – is estimated to have fallen 10 percent in 2020, or by more than 1.8 million barrels(桶)a day, Cozzi and Petropoulos say in a commentary published by the IEA on 15 January. Most of this fall was due to reduced travel and is likely to be temporary.

But a small part of the drop, around 40,000 barrels a day, was as a result of the increased share of electric vehicles (EVs). “We have seen a skyrocketing of global electric car sales in 2020,” says Petropoulos. Unfortunately, the number of SUVs increased as well. While overall car sales fell in 2020, 42 percent of buyers chose SUVs, up around three percentage points from 2019.

Globally, there are now more than 280 million SUVs being driven, up from fewer than 50 million in 2010. On average, SUVs consume 20 percent more energy per kilometre than a medium-sized car.

The increase in SUVs in 2020 led to a rise in oil consumption that cancelled out the effect of electric cars, says Petropoulos. Much the same is true over the past decade. Between 2010 and 2020, global CO2 emissions from conventional cars fell by nearly 350 megatonnes, due to factors such as fuel efficiency improvements as well as the switch to electric cars. Emissions from SUVs rose by more than 500 megatonnes.

“While the growth in EVs is encouraging, the increase in SUVs is heart-breaking,” says Glen Peters at the CICERO climate research centre in Norway.

There are many reasons for the growing popularity of SUVs, says Petropoulos. Rising prosperity(繁荣)in many countries means more people are able to afford them, for instance. Some people see them as a symbol of social position. SUVs are also heavily advertised by car-makers, he says, whose profits are higher on these vehicles.

There are now some electric SUVs available. “Hopefully, in time, you will see electric vehicles entering the SUV market,” says Peters.

Even if it happens, switching to electric SUVs isn’t an ideal solution. Due to their size and bigger batteries, it takes more resources to build electric SUVs, and they consume around 15 percent more electricity. Higher electricity demand makes it harder to green the electricity supply.

1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The SUVs driven in 2019 reached up to 280 million.
B.Electric cars appeared a sharp decline in sales in 2020.
C.Buyers of SUVs in 2020 increased 42 percent than those in 2019.
D.Global SUVs being driven now are over five times as many as those in 2010.
2. From the increase of SUVs, we can infer ________.
A.it could have harmful consequences for the air quality
B.the oil consumption will increase and the price will fall
C.people all over the world are getting wealthier than before
D.the car-makers think it’s unnecessary to advertise any more
3. What can we conclude from the passage?
A.The purchases of SUVs should be reduced.
B.The SUVs should be discontinued immediately.
C.The awareness of using electric cars needs to be improved.
D.Increasing electric cars can solve the problem of oil consumption.
4. What’s the author’s attitude to electric SUVs?

4 . Climate change is threatening our future as more and more greenhouse gases like CO2 are gathering in the atmosphere and heating up the planet. To fight the problem, both scientists and economists have suggested some good solutions. It turns out that whales, animals we’ve hunted to near extinction, are excellent at taking away CO2.

Whales remove CO2 from the air in two ways. First, they move nutrients(营养物) from their feeding areas deep in the ocean back to the surface, where they release them in their waste. Those nutrients aid the growth of phytoplankton(浮游植物), which, like other plants, takes away CO2 from the air. Second, whales themselves collect CO2 in their bodies when they eat other animals. The total amount of the gas adds up to about 33 tons over a whale’s lifetime. When whales die, they take away all that CO2 with them down to the ocean floor.

Saving the whales could also be more cost effective than planting trees. Financial experts say that one whale, taking away CO2 and tour value, would be worth about US$2 million over its lifetime. Compare this to the high costs needed to plant and keep forests for removing CO2, and you’ll see why whales might be an effective solution.

At one time, millions of whales swam the world’s oceans. Unluckily, commercial whaling between the 1600s and the mid-1900s brought many whale species close to extinction.

Starting in the 1970s, careful management of whaling began. Many species are recovering, but the giant animals still face major threats. One threat is continued hunting despite international regulation. For example, in Japan, “scientific” kills are carried out—often an excuse to get whale meat, which is considered delicious food. Public outcry has pressured many countries to limit or end whaling, and experts believe a new way to make money from whales—whale watching—will also be effective. However, another is more difficult to solve—pollution. Whales are affected by pollution from chemicals, noise, and the huge amounts of plastic and garbage that end up in the oceans.

These giants of the sea are important to the future health of our planet. If whale populations increased to where they were before commercial whaling, whales could remove an estimated 1.7 billion tons of CO2 per year. It might be an impossible dream, but it’s one definitely worth fighting for.

1. Which of the following is NOT true about how whales remove carbon from the air?
A.They move nutrients from deep in the ocean to the surface.
B.Many species of whales don’t release CO2.
C.Whales collect CO2 in their bodies through the food they eat.
D.When whales die, the collected CO2 remains in their bodies.
2. What is the financial value of a whale compared to?
A.The commercial hunting of ocean animals.
B.The financial value of ocean tourism.
C.The high costs of tree planting and forest protecting.
D.The ability of phytoplankton to remove CO2 from the air.
3. According to the passage, what threat is the harder to solve now?
A.Pollution.B.Scientific kills.
C.Whale watching.D.Continued hutting.
4. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To analyse the benefits whales bring.
B.To explain why whales are endangered.
C.To evaluate the effect of commercial whaling.
D.To call on people to save whales so as to protect the world.

5 . Landscapes are not only the setting for history; they are also a major source of our sense of history and identity.Read them right, and historical landscapes can be more informative than any other kind of source.This is even more the case with sacred landscapes, which were reflection of our ancestors’ beliefs about their relation to the cosmos and can still today seem to hold a spiritual influence.

Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to have spent time in many historical landscapes, hoping to picture something of the spirits of the people who shaped them over the centuries.I still remember years ago walking along the Inca sacred lines around Cusco, Peru. In this ancient landscape, old sites that once belonged to Incan royals had become torn Spanish mansions. Or many years ago, before the Gulf Wars, I took a journey through south Iraq, the heart land of civilization, where the desert is still crossed by dried-up riverbeds of the Euphrates and canals that once sustained the world’s first cities.

Britain also has its own magical ancient landscapes. From the Mesolithic to the Bronze and Iron Ages, rich layers of the past are still present in the landscape surrounding Stonehenge, even as traffic rushes down the A303. It is the A303 that is the problem. As the main road to the south west from the home counties, the road runs right past Stonehenge. One of humanity’s most famous monuments, Stonehenge is an archaeological landscape without parallel in Europe, and perhaps the world. The first circle at Stonehenge was made 5,000 years ago, and the great stone circle itself in a round 2,500 BC—the age of the pyramids! And the mysteries of this amazing monument and the complex prehistoric societies that produced it are by no means exhausted, as new discoveries continue to show.

All the more worrying to me then, this unique landscape is currently at the centre of a projected plan by Highways England, which aims to relieve congestion on the A303 by creating a four-lane road with a 1.8-mile tunnel, and an expressway interchange 1.5 miles to the west. While the National Trust and English Heritage have offered qualified support for the plan, UNESCO has expressed its opposition. Meanwhile, the Stonehenge Alliance, a group of archaeologists and environmental campaigners, says the plan is based on inadequate and obsolete information. In the end, the argument is about the totality of an ancient landscape, and that includes the ancient astronomical alignment that was purposefully chosen by our ancestors, and that will, in my view, be wrecked by the expressway interchange. Time perhaps for a rethink in the name of future generations?

1. What can historical landscapes offer us?
A.Details of ancient lifestyle.B.Sacred writings.
C.Rich historical information.D.Breathtaking sights.
2. What did the author want to explore when touring historical landscapes?
A.Different architecture.B.His sense of belonging.
C.The rise of ancient cities.D.The spirits of ancestors.
3. Which of the following is True about Stonehenge   ?
A.The first stone circle has a longer history than the pyramids.
B.New discoveries have solved the mysteries of the monument.
C.The ancient monument must have been the heart land of civilization.
D.The landscape surrounding has rich layers of the present.
4. What is the author’s attitude towards the projected plan by Highways England?
A.He is for it because it will benefit the future generations.
B.He keeps cool but believes a better solution could be adopted.
C.It should be stopped because it will destroy the totality of the monument.
D.It is rather practical especially with qualified support from the government.

6 . An audience of patients with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症) disease listens with concentrated attention as a young woman sings the French song “Beau Soir”. Despite his failing mind, one of the men in the crowd, Les Dean, translates the words into English for a friend.

Dean, 76, once taught music at Chicago’s Senn High School, invented and sold his own music education system and sang with the Chicago Symphony Chorus. Now, like many patients with Alzheimer’s, he is, to some extent, lost in the past, a stranger to the present. But when the music plays, he smiles and is transported to a place of beauty, where everything still makes sense.

In recent years, music therapy(疗法) has grown in popularity for its seeming ability to help calm people with dementia(痴呆) and reconnect them with their memories. Now a Northwestern University researcher is testing whether music played for residents of a suburban nursing home can be therapeutic, whether it can improve cognition(认知), conversation and relationships.

A person with dementia can recede(倒退) so far that he or she is no longer responsive, suggesting personality and consciousness(意识)have been lost. But in his book Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, the well-known neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote that he’d seen such patients shake or weep while listening to music. “Once one has seen such responses,” he wrote, “one knows that there is still a self to be called upon, even if music, and only music, can do the calling.”

For some people with dementia, music therapy has been shown to enhance attention and cognition to improve behavior while reducing the use of drugs and to reduce anxiety and depression. Singing songs can help refresh specific memories that otherwise might have been forgotten completely, experts say. Also, some patients are so nonresponsive, they may need music wake them up and get them moving.


Attracted by the potential benefits, Dr. Borna Bonakdarpour, a neurologist with Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, put together a music therapy study at Silverado Orchard Park Memory Care Community.

Each week for 12 weeks, the nonprofit Institute for Therapy Through the Arts held concerts for 10 Silverado residents. The musicians are specially trained to apply their skills to therapy, often by interacting with patients during performances and getting them to beat on drums, sing and dance.

A similar group of residents in another nursing home went without the therapy to compare results. Since finishing the initial study period, researchers are analyzing the results and hope to try the same treatment for the opposite group in the future.

“Music therapy is gaining more confidence now as an intervention(介入), so this is a very exciting time,” Bonakdarpour said. “We thought when people get Alzheimer’s, they’re done because there’s no medicine to cure it. But there's so much we can do to have an impact and improve their quality of life.”

1. Why is Les Dean mentioned at the beginning?
A.To present his amazing life before he got the Alzheimer’s disease.
B.To inspire the people who also suffered from the disease.
C.To tell the readers that he was a music lover.
D.To show the surprising function of music.
2. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?
A.Dr. Oliver Sacks believed music could call upon a self in Alzheimer’s patients.
B.When patients are nonresponsive, music could hardly have any effect on them.
C.Northwestern University has tested music can improve the patients’ conversation.
D.It is obvious that singing can make the patients’ memories back to normal.
3. From Bonakdarpour’s research, we can learn that __________.
A.the music therapy study has been successfully completed.
B.the patients show no interest in music therapy.
C.music therapy can help to improve the patients’ life quality.
D.music therapy have a negative effect on the patients as an intervention.
4. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?
A.The terrible disease can be cured by music therapy.
B.Music is beneficial to the people lost in Alzheimer’s darkness.
C.People gradually realize the benefits of music.
D.Everyone should fall in love with music.

10 . Autumn is great for European walking: paths are mud-free, temperatures are mild, crowds are few and beautiful colors abound.The following are four European adventures to walk your way through autumn.


The unknown Cilento

South of Italy’s Amalfi Coast hides a much less discovered wonderland.After stopping to view the marvelous Greek temple remains at Paestum, Sherpa’s next destination concentrates on the Cilento National Park — first following its rugged seashore past the occasional myrtle grove (小树林), and sandy beach, then leaving modernity behind and venturing inland to medieval (中世纪的) hilltop towns.Home-cooked dinners conclude exciting days of goat tracks and ghost villages before a scenic path leads back to the seaside.Four nights £630 half board, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes.Last departure October 31.


Turkish delights

Follow an impressive section of Turkey’s expansive Lycian Way, gradually moving from cliffs to coastline.You’ll begin in pine-filled peaks, typically on shaded paths to sea views, and stop at both a pool-boasting upscale hotel and one of the Yanartas region’s ever-burning flames — possibly fueled by a monster below.A fine fish restaurant comes next, then a mile-long sandy beach ahead of two days on lonely Cape Gelidonya, finishing by its lighthouse.Six nights £790, including ten other meals, transport, luggage transfers and walking notes.Last departure in early November.


Carpathian clambers

Poland and Slovakia are separated by the Carpathian Mountains and their large forest-filled valleys.Starting and ending in Krakow, this trip covers both countries.Some days include the option of climbing to snowy peaks or taking easier, lower-altitude options, and you’ll likely meet the Gorals — a culturally-distinct group known as “highlanders”.Most memorable activity will be walking along the 300m-high Dunajec River to spa town Szczawnica.Seven nights £630, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes.Last departure October 24.


Flowers and feta

Greece’s Pelion Peninsula is a place known as the “Land of the Centaurs (人首马身的怪物)” for its association with the mythological horse-human hybrids.Between villages of whitewashed, flower-decorated stone houses, walkers can follow old paths onto mountainsides, and wander through olive groves or beside the glittering Aegean Sea.Some days yield swimming opportunities, and others the chance to recharge in a local pub of some bean soup and feta-cheese bread.Seven nights £535, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes.Last departure October 23.
