Best new earphones to get this autumn
Positive Vibration Xl Anc Over-Ear Headphones, RRP £149.99
This gadget is produced by an Eco-conscious company, House of Marley, which was created with the Marley
family to carry on Bob Marley’s legacy of love for both music and the planet. They create stylish, timeless audio
products that are better for the Earth.
We tried these headphones out (in pink — but you can also get them in black and copper) and were blown
away by the sound. With great audio clarity, mighty bass, bright treble, and effective noise cancellation, you get a
lot of quality for a really decent/proper price.
Made with wood and recyclable aluminum, the headphones weigh quite a bit but it’s not to say that they’re
uncomfortable. The quick-charge technology will allow you to gain a two-hour playback boost after just 15 minutes
of charging. It’s an all-round bargain for us.
Audio-Technica ATH-ANC300TW, RRP £189.99
,
And if over-ear headphones aren’t your thing you can’t go wrong with Audio-Technician’s latest offering, a
solid in-ear set at a great price: a practical design, powerful sound and pure comfort. The headphones feature fantastic
noise canceling which you can set to three different modes: “aeroplane”, “on the go” and “study/office”. Also included
are four different sizes of ear tips.
But the most important thing here is the sound, naturally. It’s lush and balanced. You can also customize the
sound to your liking via the equalizer on the app.

Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor.
Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there — broad parks, superb
beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole
morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went
our separate ways — he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I’ll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean?” I asked.
“Oh, they’re replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re not so elegant, and they’re not
fun to pilot. But that’s progress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords (口号), and traditions are
increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s,
Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she
said. “We can’t seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It’s a conflict that
we aren’t getting any better at resolving (解决).”
On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a
thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me.
“What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the
Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still. We’ve got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a
drive and dynamism of a young country. It’s a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but I can’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Sydney’s striking architecture. B. The cultural diversity of Sydney.
第2页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. The key to Sydney’s development. D. Sydney’s tourist attractions in the 1960s.
5. What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds?
A. He goes to work by boat. B. He looks forward to a new life.
C. He pilots catamarans well. D. He is attached to the old ferries.
6. What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney?
A. It is losing its traditions. B. It should speed up its progress.
C. It should expand its population. D. It is becoming more international.
7. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. A city can be young and old at the same time.
B. A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C. Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

Urban green spaces have long been tied to better public health, but shrinking municipal budgets often leave
parks overgrown and underused. A groundbreaking study published in Urban Health Journal points to an
unexpected remedy gaining traction across North America: community-run gardens. These grassroots projects,
where residents collectively tend plots of land, are proving to be both cost-effective and socially transformative.
Researchers tracked 27 community gardens in Toronto over three years, documenting measurable benefits.
Nearby households reported 31% fewer cases of anxiety compared to neighborhoods without such gardens, while
local children showed 24% higher levels of physical activity — likely due to regular outdoor play among the plots.
The gardens, typically filled with tomato vines, sunflower patches, and communal tool sheds, also fostered stronger
social bonds: 78% of participants cited “making new friends” as a key benefit, reducing feelings of isolation in
densely populated areas.
These initiatives thrive on minimal funding. Most start with grants under 2,000, relying on donated soil,
recycled wooden planters, and volunteer labor. The Toronto Green Space Alliance, which oversees 15 of these sites,
notes that maintenance costs average just 300 annually per garden — far cheaper than the $12,000 yearly upkeep
for a small city park.
Yet success isn’t universal. In Vancouver, two gardens saw declining participation after initial enthusiasm,
with plots abandoned due to disputes over water usage and crop ownership. Despite these setbacks, the Alliance
plans to fund 12 new gardens in Montreal next year, emphasizing better conflict-resolution training for organizers.
“Cities don’t need million-dollar projects to build healthier communities,” says lead researcher Dr. Elena

8. What is a key finding of the study on community gardens?
A. They reduce maintenance costs for city parks. B. They improve mental health in local residents.
.
C They require significant initial investments. D. They mainly benefit elderly residents.
9. The phrase “gaining traction” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. losing popularity B. causing concern
C. becoming widespread D. remaining unchanged
10. Why does the author mention Vancouver’s gardens?
A. To highlight the importance of funding. B. To show not all projects are successful.
C. To compare different garden designs. D. To criticize poor management.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To argue for more government funding for parks.
B. To explain how community gardens are organized.
C. To discuss the benefits and challenges of community gardens.
D. To compare urban and rural gardening practices.

Educational products are important to the toy industry. In recent years, parents have shown an interest in
STEM-related toys—ones that help teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
But now, toymakers are working to create products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence. These toys
reportedly not only help raise intelligence in children, but also their emotional quotient, or EQ. Intelligence
includes intrapersonal skills—processing information within one’s mind—and interpersonal skills, or dealing with
other people. Some toys have been made with the purpose of having a child act as a teacher or guide to a
companion character.
There is an educational robot called Woobo. If you ask the hairy green robot, “Hi, what’s your name?” With a
childlike voice, the toy will answer, “Are you trying to trick me? My name is Woobo.” The robot comes
programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touchscreen face to get them started. Toys that
work as companions also aid in social development. Woobo can help a child who has autism spectrum disorder (自
闭症谱系障碍). The child can communicate with Woobo and he can follow some of the instructions Woobo is
giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things.
A more low-tech companion is a toy animal called Manimo. The manufacturer says this toy can help reduce
hyperactivity in children and improve their ability to pay attention to a subject. Whether it’s a snake, dolphin or
第4页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司other animal, Manimos can be placed across a child’s arm, chest or neck.
The manufacturer explained that adding deep pressure to the body can help calm a child before bedtime. “The
purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence,” he said.
It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what
they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded (多才多艺的) children.
12. According to the passage, STEM-related toys are helpful in ______.
A. raising a child’s intelligence
B. making a child become a teacher
C. increasing a child’s interest in Science
D. developing a child’s ability to process information
13. What can educational robots be used to?
A. Work as a companion to teach a child to be well-rounded.
B. Play tricks on the children and make them happy.
C. Help a child overcome his behavioral problems.
D. Work as a parent to look after a child at home.
14. What does the underlined word “hyperactivity” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. The desire to play with toys. B. The chance to get a companion.
C. The potential for keeping calm. D. The difficulty in staying focused.
15. What can we know from the passage?
A. The function of an educational robot needs to be proved.
B. Toymakers are doing great business to meet parents’ demand.
C. Many types of toy robots have been invented to help children grow.
,
D. With the help of toy robots children can develop all kinds of skills.
