The best places for wild sleeping in England and Wales
Challacombe Meadows, Devon
Best for: privacy
Challacombe Meadows is close to miles of walking trails near Widecombe. Basic toilet facilities
and running water are a short walk away, and there’s a cosy pub and a farm shop also nearby, for when
it’s time to return to civilization. Tents from £ 45 per tent.
Bush Farm, Cornwall
Best for: freedom of choice
At Bush Farm, campers are offered the freedom of choice. Map in hand, you can put up your tent
wherever you please. Days can be spent wild swimming, wandering through the countryside and, come
the evening, there’s star gazing beneath ink-black skies. Tents from £12 per person.
The Wildman Woods, Carmarthenshire
Best for: life on the riverbanks
At this little-known site, you can put your tent on the banks of the River Sawdde. The Wildman
Woods are as simple as they sound, with leafy pitches scattered among the trees near the water. During
the day, it’s the perfect place for a paddle. Tents from £10 per person.
Penrhos Isaf Bothy, Gwyned
Best for: packing light

学科网（北京）股份有限公司As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and
present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my
grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as
uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life
and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”,
my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would
disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece
of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change
Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I
spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our
friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my
efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and
hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun
of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter.
Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly
understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable
clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
24. What made the author want to leave her hometown?
A. Appeal of convenience in cities. B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners. D. Her desire for the northern accent.
25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother?
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
26. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent?
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
27. What message does the text want to convey?
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
C
Consider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake — or at least a lack of
hand-eye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and
Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany,
argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct
4
学科网（北京）股份有限公司early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals
and cut edible plants.
To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s
Phang Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nut-cracking stones used by a troop of long-
tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking
their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones,
producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The
flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were
intentionally made by hominins (古人类).
Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz adds, noting that the monkeys
have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the
earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a
site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the
tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been
used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering
the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional by-products of
other pounding activities.
Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still
need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up
and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakes.
B. Long-tailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nuts.
C. Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stones.
D. The flakes produced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools.
29. Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3?
A. To provide specific proof. B. To clarify a complex concept.
C. To present an interesting fact. D. To make a detailed comparison.
30. What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study?
A. Why macaques create flakes. B. Why hominins used stone tools.
C. How macaques cut food with flakes. D. How hominins began using flakes.
31. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A mistake: the origin of human technology.
B. Flake technology: from macaques to hominins.
C. Pounding activities: on human evolutionary course.
D. A missing link: long-tailed macaques create flakes.
D

学科网（北京）股份有限公司In the largest observational study to date on “superagers”—people in their 80s who have brains as
sharp as those 30 years younger—researchers in Spain found key differences in lifestyle that may
contribute to these older adults’ sharp minds.
Superagers in the study had more gray matter (灰质) in parts of the brain related to movement, and
they scored higher on flexibility, balance and mobility (行走能力) tests than typical older adults—even
though the physical activity levels of the two groups were the same. “Though superagers report similar
activity levels to typical older people, it’s possible they do more physically demanding activities like
gardening or stair climbing,” said senior author Bryan Strange, director of the Laboratory for Clinical
Neuroscience at the Technical University of Madrid, in a statement.
“From lower blood pressure and obesity levels to increased blood flow to the brain, there are many
direct and indirect benefits of being physically active that may contribute to improved cognitive abilities
in old age.” The study, published on Thursday in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal, followed 64
superagers and 55 cognitively normal older adults who were part of the Vallecas Project, a long-term
research project on Alzheimer’s in Madrid (马德里的老年痴呆症). In a series of tests, the study found
the Spanish superagers scored lower than typical older adults in levels of depression and anxiety. Mental
health issues such as depression are known risk factors for developing dementia (痴呆).
Superagers also told researchers they had been more active in midlife, had been happy with the
amount of sleep they got, and were independent in their daily living. Poor sleep is a key risk factor for
cognitive decline. “This study adds to what we already know—superaging isn’t just the ability to perform
well on a cognitive test,” said Angela Roberts, an assistant joint professor of communication and
computer science at Western University in London, Ontario, in an email.
32. What can we learn about superagers in Paragraph 2?
A. Physical activities affect the brain composition of superagers.
B. Superagers and typical older adults have similar activity levels.
C. Physically activities like gardening or stair climbing are demanding.
D. Superagers’ brain structure is different from that of typical older adults.
33. What can we learn from the study published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal?
A. The study focuses on mental health of the subjects.
B. The study finds the relationship between depression and dementia.
C. Cognitive abilities in old age may be improved by physical activities.
D. Superagers are more likely to develop dementia than typical older adults.
34. What may the follow-up study focus on?
A. The relationship between sleep and cognition.
B. The relationship between midlife and cognition.
C. The relationship between activity level and cognition.
D. The relationship between independence and cognition.
35. What can we know from Angela Roberts’ words?
6
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. She is good at cognitive tests. B. She knows little about superaging.
C. Superagers are more active in old age life. D. Superagers scored high in many aspects.

their attention on other tasks. ___3 9 ___ People with good self-regulation skills are able to assess
whether their behavior is appropriate and can redirect themselves as needed.
___ 40 ___ So we can try different approaches to find the proper one. You may be able to keep stress
under control by using stress management techniques such as deep breathing, exercise, and getting
enough sleep.

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。
When I was young, I lived in a small village in Melaka. The spirit of neighborliness was very strong
then. The village had a variety of trades to serve the needs of the villagers. There was a barber, tailor,
coffee shop owner, grocer, and so on. All of us were quite poor but we got by. However, one family
9
学科网（北京）股份有限公司which could be considered as living a marginal existence was the Lim family living in the bicycle shop
opposite our dwelling.
Mr. Lim, the bicycle mechanic, had a large brood of children — twelve to be exact. My mother was
a kind-hearted soul. Often, she would remark that his children were dressed in ragged clothes and looked
malnourished (营养不良的). My family was relatively better off in the village. My parents would bring
over whatever food we could spare to the Lim family.
I remember one particular year when times were very hard. Even my family had to make do with
two meals a day. We stopped the practice of giving food to Mr. Lim. One day, I noticed my mother
looking troubled. She had learned that the Lim family had not been eating for the past two days. She
decided to sacrifice a portion of our meals to the family despite the protests (抗议) from my brothers that
were too hungry. Fortunately, the lean spell (困难时期) did not last long, and the children in our family
resumed our three meals a day again.
As time went on, the number of customers at Lim's shop had increased rapidly. Business at his shop
took off like a rocket as Japanese bikes were very useful and popular for transport. They were much
better off than before.
It was at this time that my father's health was worsening. We were confused by the mysterious
illness he was suffering from. Because of lack of attention to his provision shop (食品店), the business
became worse. My father then sold our family car to pay off the mounting bills. My brothers and I had to
stop schooling because we could not afford the fees.
