1 . Trevalgan Touring Park, Cornwall

Campers have three options at this park on Penwith: non-serviced pitches for basic camping, serviced spots with electricity and fully serviced pitches with taps, waste disposal and extra space. While the site has a large number of caravans (大篷车) alongside the tents, there’s ample room for kids to play and easy access from campsite to beach.

Unserviced pitch from ₤ 16 a night, semi-serviced from ₤16.50, fully serviced from ₤22.

Adult from ₤5.50 a night, child ₤ 3, under-three free, 01736 791892

Wardley Hill, Norfolk

Only in its second year, this campsite on the edge of the Norfolk Broads welcomes tents and small vans. Guests pitch is in the long grass, and recycled washing machine can be hired as campfire pits or temporary barbecues. Drive to nearby Beccles to rent a canoe and enjoy the Broads waterways.

Adult ₤6 a night, child ₤ 2, 07733 306543

Little Halden Farming Camping, Kent

Little Halden Farm only takes 20 tents (private tents forbidden), so overcrowding is never an issue. Facilities are basic but more than adequate — hot showers, toilets and fresh, running water — and minimal human development means there’s wildlife around. Rolvenden village is only a 20-minute walk away, with a fantastic local pub, The Bull, and a well-stocked shop selling the essentials.

2 . Internet security researchers say they have looked at and identified software weakness that puts millions of smart devices we use at risk of attacks and the Internet security weakness can be used to attack business or home computer networks. The report says many devices are designed for personal use and include the ability to control home cameras and temperature from a distance. Companies use similar devices in security systems, heating and cooling equipment, printers and servers.

There is no evidence that any attacks have already been carried out on the defenceless devices. However, the findings have led the officials to give a warning to the users and suggest to them that defensive measures should be taken to lessen the risks of attacks. Specifically, the officials say industrial control systems shouldn’t be accessible from the Internet and should be separated from company networks.

Awais Rashid is a computer scientist who has examined the findings. He says that the discovery shows the dangers experts often find in Internet-linked devices designed without much attention to security. He adds inattentive programming by developers appears to be the main issue in this case. Dealing with the problem is especially complex because the weaknesses are found in so-called open-source software, which is free to use and can be changed by anyone. According to Elisa, vice president of research, the fact that open-source software is not owned by anyone makes the problem difficult to solve but the problem should be tackled with an effort. This means it is up to device manufacturers to fix the weaknesses themselves and some may not have the time or money to do so.

Experts say the risks are even higher with so many people working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. This could permit attackers to hack into home networks and use this as a pathway into company networks.

1. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the Internet security weakness?

A．Tolerant.

B．Doubtful.

C．Concerned.

D．Uncaring.

2. How do the officials deal with the problem of Internet security?

A．By giving some advice to the Internet users.

B．By helping online users upgrade software.

C．By linking industrial control systems to company networks.

D．By warning Internet operators to lessen the risks of attacks.

3. What does Elisa think of solving the problem of Internet security?

A．Complex and impossible.

B．Challenging but necessary.

C．Effortless and worthwhile.

D．Potential but unimportant.

4. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A．To advocate using defensive devices.

B．To urge us to stay away from the Internet.

C．To separate home networks from company networks.

D．To introduce the potential risk of smart devices.

3 . It was the phone number, 212-263-8134, at which people can contact the NYU Langone Transplant Institute to begin the process of register to donate a kidney (肾) or part of a liver.

If the right person begins the process, gets through the screening and donates, McCabe will likely live. If that never happens, he’ll probably die. Though knowing I’m probably not his answer, I called and started the screening process. I’ll happily donate a kidney to McCabe or anyone else in similar need if approved.

My organs are well-rested, and have legendary resumes, but they have high miles, too. For the 20 years before I quit drinking in 2003, my liver (肝) and kidneys processed liquor (酒) like Amazon ships books: efficiently, at high volume, with little concern for the broader consequences.

When I called Patricia Tabamo, the living donor coordinator at NYU Langone Health. She emailed paperwork which I was able to complete by auto-filling “yes” under family history for any known disease. Tabamo answered my many questions. There are about 107, 000 people waiting for transplants, and according to Tabamo, about one-fifth of the people who approach her office about donating are approved.

Such donations are not entirely without risk. But 10 years after surgery, a liver or kidney donor is 15% less likely to have died in that decade than the general population. If you give part of your liver, it grows back in eight weeks. If you give one of your two healthy kidneys, you’re unlikely to ever miss it.

However, if enough of us agree to donate organs, we could save the vast majority of the 107,000 candidates, including McCabe.

1. Who is McCabe?

A．A patient requiring organ transplantation.

B．A friend knowing much about the author.

C．A colleague working with Tabamo.

D．A professor working in the NYU Langone Health.

2. What can we know about the author?

A．He had to make a replacement liver.

B．He drank too much before 2003.

C．He has ever worked in Amazon.

D．He was told to wait for the donator.

3. What does the author think of organ donations?

A．They are valueless but supported by the majority.

B．They are not completely safe for donators.

C．They are unbearable for donators.

D．They are fascinating to donators.

4. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing the text?

A．To inspire people to donate organs.

B．To urge people to do some exercise.

C．To encourage people to quit drinking.

D．To tell people the risk of organ donations.

A Terrifying Experience

It was an unusually hot day. Exhausted after football practice, I headed to the bus stop to wait for Bus 112 which would take me home. I was beginning to drift off to sleep when I saw the bus arriving. The sun was in my eyes and that was probably the reason why I got onto Bus 113.

I was glad to get a seat. Within minutes, I was leaning against the window, fast asleep. When I opened my eyes, it was dark outside. I was the only passenger left on the bus. I could not recognize the part of town we were passing through. I pressed the bell and the bus stopped. I planned to hop across the road and catch a bus going in the opposite direction. However, I found myself on a quiet street with a row of shops that were all closed. I kicked myself for not asking the driver for directions.

As I was wondering what to do, a motorcycle came down the road. The rider looked at me as he passed and then stopped a short distance away. I went to him and asked him how to get back to Taman Klang Utama. He smiled and nodded. He patted the back seat and said that he would send me home. Without a second thought, I climbed up behind the rider. He turned the motorcycle around and headed in the direction I wanted. We traveled for about 15 minutes and the surroundings still looked unfamiliar to me. The rider made a few turns and I knew I was hopelessly lost. I asked him where we were going. He did not answer but increased his speed.

5 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

On Saturday, Mum went to visit her friends in the city. Ollie, Dad and I went to do the shopping. The car park at the supermarket was very full; there was even a line for the barbecue out the front. Ollie and I complained-we guessed it would be really busy inside. This was not our idea of a fun way to spend the weekend. Dad promised us a hot dog on the way back if we helped him.

Seeing it was packed like sardines in a tin, Dad shook his head at the crowds when we got inside.

The whole town must have picked that morning to do their shopping. Every checkout was full of trolleys. Traffic jams were everywhere, and you could see the supermarket staff busy, running around. Bells sounded. Babies cried. People shouted. This was going to be hard work.

Dad told us we would need to do this smartly if we wanted to get out alive. We needed to work together. Ollie pushed the trolley; I checked the list; Dad would do the running and grabbing. He nodded at us and I knew the battle had started.

Ollie ran off ahead with the noisy trolley and headed for the fruit and vegetables. I chased after him with the list. After crazy panic buying, we were at the checkout, remarking how delicious this food would be when cooked into a roast dinner.

So far, so good. We might have been stuck behind a family with a cart filled to the top, a man with a lot of frozen dinners, and an old couple who moved slowly, but at least we'd made it. Dad picked up a magazine to read while waiting.

We finally got to the front. Dad stood in line, and we went to buy our hot dogs. Satisfied, we went home. But it was when we got the shopping bags into the house that I noticed that something was wrong: one of the bags was not ours. It would be impossible to go back to find our original bag.

7 . Space travelers face a number of health risks. Astronauts have reported loss of bones and muscle and some even have developed immune disorders and heart problems. A new study finds that energy-producing new structures in cells might be to blame for many of these problems.

A systems biologist, Afshin Beheshti, who studies how different parts of the body work together, also a member of a team of researchers that want to know how spaceflight might affect cells and tissues, notes, "It's a basic question."

The team looked at NASA GeneLab's collection of data from past space biology experiments and studied cells and tissues from mice and people and compared space travelers with others that had remained on Earth.

"The idea is not only to look at one type of chemical," Beheshti says. Rather, they wanted to "look at the living system as a whole". And in doing that, they found a common theme. After some time in space, mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells, often didn't work as well as they should.

Those findings are consistent with samples from NASA's Twin Study. Before retiring, astronaut Scott Kelly spent nearly a year aboard the International Space Station. His twin, Mark remained on the ground. Afterward, blood samples from the two showed different mitochondrial activities.

For the latest study, Beheshti and his team studied GeneLab data for many types of cells and tissues. Another focus was related to metabolism. That process includes a mix of chemical activities that supports life in cells, organs and the whole body.

Damage to mitochondria may be a common factor in spaceflight health risks, the team now concludes. Finding similar changes in so many astronauts indeed points to some general effect, agrees Michael Snyder, a systems biologist at Stanford University in California, who worked on Scott and Mark Kelly's Twin Study but was not part of the new analysis. If mitochondria are the cause, dealing with problems of them could help protect future astronauts. Some diseases cause mitochondrial defects, Dealing with such diseases in different ways may help reduce astronauts' health risks. Future studies could test if existing drugs prevent mitochondrial problems in cells, animals and people on long deep-space travels.

1. What might cause astronauts to have health problems according to the new study?

A．Temperature difference.

B．Heart cell increase

C．Tiring work.

D．Cell problems.

2. Which method did Beheshti's team employ to do the research?

A．They referred to some existing information.

B．They did all kinds of tests on astronaut Scott Kelly.

C．They followed some astronauts for many years.

D．They observed behaviors of astronauts in person

3. What may contribute to the decrease of astronauts' health risks?

A．Taking medicine to treat certain diseases.	B．Performing fewer long deep-space travels
C．Letting new structure in cells grow quickly	D．Making astronauts eat as healthily as possible.

4. What's the main idea of the text?

A．Astronauts face great danger in the space station.

B．Space travels are really dangerous to astronauts' health

C．Scientists have found ways to reduce astronauts' health risks.

D．Space travels may harm health by damaging mitochondria

8 . "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," said Jo disappointedly.

"It's so awful to be poor!" agreed Meg, looking at her old dress.

"It's not right for some girls to have pretty things, and others to have nothing at all," said little Amy.

"We've got Father and Mother, and each other," said Beth gently.

The four young faces round the fire cheered up as they thought of this, but then Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and we won't have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never", but each silently thought it, remembering that he was away at the war in the South.

Then Meg said, "Mother says we shouldn't spend money on presents when our men are fighting a war."

"We can't expect anything from Mother or each other," said Jo, "but we only have a dollar each. Let's each buy ourselves what we want and have a little fun. We work hard to earn it."

"I do, teaching those awful children," said Meg.

"What about me?" said Jo. "I'm shut up all day working for a terrible old lady, who gives me different orders every five seconds!"

"I think washing cups and plates and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world," said Beth. "My hands get too tired to play my music."

"I have to go to school with girls who laugh at my dresses and say cruel things because my father isn't rich," said Amy.

Meg was sixteen and very pretty, with large eyes and soft brown hair, and white hands. Fifteen-year-old Jo was very tall and thin. Beth was thirteen, a very shy girl who seemed to live in a happy world of her own. Amy was the youngest but thought herself to be the most important.

At six o'clock, Beth put a pair of slippers by the fire to warm and Meg lit the lamp.

“These are old," Jo said. "Mother needs a new pair.”

“I'll get her some," said Beth. "No, I shall!" cried Amy. "I'm the oldest!" began Meg. “I'm the man of the family now. Father is away, and I shall buy them," said Jo. "Let's each get her something and not get anything for ourselves," said Beth. "That's a kind idea!" said Jo.

1. Why were the girls unhappy at the beginning of the story?

A．They couldn't have decent presents.	B．They had to work hard to make money.
C．Their father had just died in the South.	D．Their mother abandoned them for the war.

2. What can we know about the girls according to their own descriptions?

A．Jo was getting well with the old lady.	B．Meg enjoyed being a school teacher.
C．Beth preferred playing music to washing.	D．Amy didn't care about her appearance.

3. Which of the following can best describe Jo?

A．Tolerant and curious.	B．Selfless and responsible.
C．Sensitive and humorous.	D．mean and unconcerned.

4. What may the girls decide to do in the end of this part?

A．They may quit their job so as to support the family.

B．They may use their money to buy themselves favorite presents.

C．They may use their own money to buy presents for their mother.

D．They may pretend to be the boys to fight with their father at the war.

9 . With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation, can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects? As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future – that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero- emission ( 排放) planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there.

Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile’s (汽车) existence more than a century ago. Almost overnight, the era of the electric car has arrived. Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise. Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one, but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being.

High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight.

Our planet’s health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and yet, by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge, the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow. Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air.

1. Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles?

A．To reinvent the way we travel.

B．To cut the costs of car production.

C．To improve the quality of products.

D．To pursue sustainable development.

2. What do we know about the electric car?

A．It came into use a century ago.

B．It enjoys increasing popularity.

C．It sells better than the traditional one.

D．It costs less than the gas-powered one.

3. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?

A．To show the disadvantages of battery power.

B．To emphasize the significance of short flights.

C．To stress the future prospects of electric planes.

D．To state the developments of commercial flight.

4. What does the author mean by saying “the train has left the station”?

A．Train transportation has improved.

B．Green transportation is on its way.

C．The electric train is running regularly.

D．The gas-powered train has become the past.
