Weald & Downland Living Museum
英语试题A 第2页 共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then
reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the South Downs national park. The collection of buildings
represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been
in the past — complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village
as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠)
cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard,
Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on
Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are
disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money?
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus, it’s a valuable cause worth
supporting. Adults ￡14, children 5-17 and students ￡6.50, under-4s free, family ￡38 (two adults and
two children) or ￡25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10am-5pm (last entry 4pm).
16. What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A. Take a shower in the hall.
B. Stay overnight at a cottage.
C. Learn construction techniques.
D. Explore rural life centuries ago.
17. How much would a couple with their 5-year-old twin sons pay for admission?
A.￡25. B.￡34.5. C.￡38. D.￡41.
18. What do we know about Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A. It charges parking fees.
B. It has varied opening hours.
C. It is inconveniently located for bus riders.
D. It offers the disabled thoughtful service.
B
Not Waving but Drowning
Stevie Smith (1902-1971)
Nobody heard him, the dead man, but still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought, and not waving but drowning.
英语试题A 第3页 共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Poor chap, he always loved larking, and now he's dead.
It must have been too cold for him, his heart gave away, they said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always （Still the dead one lay moaning）.
I was much too far out all my life, and not waving but drowning.
‘Not Waving But Drowning’ by Stevie Smith describes the emotional situation of a speaker whose true
sufferings go unnoticed by all those around her. The poem begins with the speaker stating that there is a dead
man who is not really dead. He is not dead because his story has more to offer to the world. His death came
at the hands of apathy. The speaker knows this to be true as she is struggling out in the ocean waters. She’s
trying desperately to get someone’s attention but all the onlookers believe her to be “waving” rather than
“drowning”. Then the speaker criticizes the emotionless reaction of the beach-goers by describing their
words regarding the dead man. They see him, attempt to recall something about his life, and then declare
him dead casually. They believe that it must have been “too cold” for him and that his heart gave out. The
speaker continues to say that it has always been “too cold” for her. She has always been too far out to the sea
to make people understand her, especially now when she needs understanding the most.
On the surface the poem is about a man who drowns because his movements are mistaken for friendly
waving. Taken less literally, however, it speaks to the pain of being misunderstood and the frequent failure
of communication between human beings, closely related to which is its potential suggestion of mental
illness. That is, the poem can be taken as an extended metaphor for the specific pain of diseases like
depression, which makes the man feel like “drowning” yet unable to effectively ask for help. It’s worth
noting here that Smith herself struggled with depression for much of her life, and her own experience likely
informed the poem. The man’s mistaken gestures, in this reading, indicate the divide between appearance
and reality, between how people dealing with such illness are feeling inside and how the world sees them or
how they present themselves to the world.
19. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A. An introduction of the poet herself.
B. An explanation of the poem’s content.
C. An appreciation of the poem’s images.
D. An analysis of the poem’s creation background.
20. What does the underlined word possibly mean?
A. Indifference. B. Sympathy. C. Integrity. D. Impatience.
21. What broader theme does the poem explore?
A. The dangers of drowning for a long time.
B. The importance of using correct movements.
C. The consequences of making mistakes frequently.
D. The struggle to communicate with people effectively.

A. People usually believe what they see and hear.
B. People can’t turn a blind eye to whoever is in trouble.
C. People should relate to what those in need truly need.
D. People with mental illnesses must help themselves out.
C
“The world’s environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss.” If that were an examination topic, most
students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog to global climate change,
from …. The list would largely be accurate, the concern reasonable. Yet the students who should be given
the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things
are, not how bad.
After all, the world’s population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen
hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed, and
produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or 1950, or indeed 1980), the world by now would be
a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous. But they don’t. The reasons why they don’t and
why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological advances, social change and
government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why today’s environmental problems in the
poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.
Raw materials have not run out and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet
is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very intelligent. What has happened is that every time a
material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of
supply, tried to find ways to use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason, prices
for energy and for minerals have actually fallen during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate (
波动), in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some
time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop
technology. The long-term trend has been downwards.
It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this sound trend begins to fail, and the genuine
problems arise. Markets cannot always keep the environment healthy. If no one owns the resource concerned,
no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it.
23. According to the author, most students_________________.
A. believe the world's environment is in an undesirable condition
B. get high marks for their good knowledge of the world's environment
C. agree that the environment of the world is not as bad as it is thought to be
D. appear somewhat unconcerned about the state of the world's environment

A. The environment remains relatively healthy.
B. The world is heavily polluted by toxic and dangerous air.
C. Environmental problems in poor countries are not likely to be solved.
D. The earth are seriously affected by growing populations and rising output.
25. Why have energy and mineral prices generally fallen during the century?
A. The planet has unlimited raw materials.
B. New sources and substitutes are found.
C. Government regulated prices heavily.
D. Demand for these materials hardly decreased.
26. What is the primary solution to environmental problems?
A. Limiting consumption of natural resources.
B. Allowing market forces to function properly.
C. Controlling the growth of the world population.
D. Sharing the ownership of resources among the public.

Black taxis have been a common sight in London for many years. Now these taxis and their drivers have
become the focus of a new study into Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症). For those on the outside, it may seem
that behind the wheel of these black taxis are just common people who help move us to our places. But
hidden within their brains is a map of London’s streets that has put GPS technology to shame for many
years.
“The Knowledge”, a test for London’s taxi drivers, stands among the hardest tests one could ever
experience. It includes remembering information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about
between 25,000 and 56,000 streets in London, depending on who’s taking the test, from the Trafalgar Square
to the tiniest residential lanes (居民巷).
Usually, the hippocampus (海马体) feels the influences of Alzheimer’s most. The hippocampus controls
the brain’s short-term memory and spatial memory (空间记忆) systems. University College London and
Alzheimer’s Research UK are coming together to study these taxi drivers’ brains. And the taxi drivers’
hippocampi continue to grow as they go on doing the job for more years. This suggests that perhaps there’s
something we can do to reproduce the influence on the general population.
Lead researcher Hugo Spiers was part of the team which 20 years ago found that, like birds’, the taxi
drivers’ hippocampi slowly got bigger. In fact, research has found for years that any animal that requires
detailed spatial knowledge of their land experiences growth in the hippocampus.
Spiers’ team hopes to deal with Alzheimer’s by studying the taxi drivers’ brains, since the hippocampus
英语试题A 第6页 共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司becomes smaller with the development of Alzheimer’s. To collect more information, Spiers has asked thirty
London’s taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around. The machine will allow the researchers to
keep a real-time watch on the workings of the hippocampus. “It’s been a joy to help scientists fight the
disease,” said taxi driver Robert Lordan.
27. What can we learn about “The Knowledge”?
A. It lasts for a few minutes only.
B. It invites some residents to be testers.
C. It is a great challenge to people’s memory.
D. It includes minimal information on London’s streets.
28. What has been found about the taxi drivers’ hippocampi?
A. They are improved thanks to daily talks.
B. They grow during the taxi drivers’ careers.
C. They fail to control short-term memory.
D. They are more likely to be influenced by Alzheimer’s.
29. What does the research on animals show?
A. Their hippocampi shrink with age.
B. Their hippocampi are different from humans’.
C. They navigate around like taxi drivers.
D. Spatial knowledge enlarges their hippocampi.
30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The history of black taxis and drivers.
B. The effects of the hippocampus on spatial memory.
C. A study on taxi drivers’ brains and Alzheimer’s.
D. The challenges faced by London’s taxi drivers.

We’re all well aware of how we use our senses on a daily basis: We might hear a dog barking, or taste a
crisp apple. But what if hearing that dog barking also caused you to see the color blue? Or tasting that apple
caused you to hear a subtle G sharp? 31
Synesthesia (共感性) is a complex brain condition that involves a mixing of the senses. When one sense
is stimulated for a person with synesthesia, another sense may react. 3 2 In others, words can
trigger a real sensation of taste on their tongue.
So why is this? What causes some people to taste bananas when listening to classical music? 3 3
Nearly half of all synesthetes (共感者) have reported that a close relative also shares the same condition,
suggesting that it might be a genetic trait. One of the leading theories is that synesthesia is a result of a
英语试题A 第7页 共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司mutated gene (基因突变). As we develop, our brains remove some unnecessary connections.
More recent focuses of research on synesthesia, though, has been how it may benefit those with the
condition. 34 For example, those with color-related variations are better at differentiating between
similar colors. Furthermore, synesthesia seems to be more common in artists and poets, suggesting that it
may enhance creativity too.
Future research might use synesthesia to help cure diseases related to brain networking and aid cognitive
decline. Such research could provide ways for us to strengthen weakening connections within the brain
and improve failing memories. 35
A. The answer may lie within their genetic code.
B. Synesthesia is opening the door to numerous brain discoveries.
C. Each one of our senses is connected to a specific part of the brain.
D. This could be an everyday occurrence for someone with synesthesia.
E. Studies have found that synesthetes may have slightly enhanced senses.
F. Multiple studies have concluded that synesthetes have exceptional memories.
G. Sometimes, synesthetes may experience colors when they hear or read letters.

Joe entered Mr. Cooper’s classroom on the first day of the new school year, his long hair tied in a
ponytail (马尾辫). “What are you doing with that ponytail, dear Joe? You look like a little girl!” Mr. Cooper
asked curiously. The rest of his classmates laughed. Joe looked down in shame, but he knew he had to keep
growing it for his reasons.
The previous year, Joe had decided to grow his hair, a decision that hadn’t attracted much attention due
to the start of the summer holidays. However, now that he was back at school, everyone saw how overgrown
his hair was because he kept it in a ponytail.
Unfortunately, the comments didn’t stop. Every day, the boys in his class teased him, believing he simply
wanted to be different. The poor eight-year-old boy returned home each day in tears, but he never told the
truth to his parents. Instead, he started hiding his tears in the bathroom at some point.
Mrs. Burns, the art teacher, was relatively new at the school. One day, after everyone had left for recess
(课间休息), she found Joe crying. “Joe, what’s going on? Why are you growing your hair so long?” she
英语试题A 第10页 共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司asked gently.
“Well, I volunteered in a children’s hospital last April. There were many kids who had cancer and lost
their hair,” Joe explained. After a brief pause, he continued, “The hospital called for young volunteers to
grow hair and donate it. They would use the donated hair to create beautiful wigs (假发) for those unfortunate
children. Since then, I’ve been growing my hair. Unfortunately, now boys in my class often laugh at me
when seeing my long hair.”
Touched by his story, Mrs. Burns asked, “Do your classmates know why you’re growing your hair?” Joe
shook his head, telling that no one had ever asked him. “Do you have any photos of the children in the
hospital?” she asked. Joe nodded and quickly took a few out from his school bag.
