Copenhagen is an ideal destination for food-loving travellers, but there are many
gastronomic (美食的) adventures that await visitors outside this capital city of Denmark.
Here are some experiences in the capital and beyond.
Enjoy a Baltic beach relaxation in Bornholm
Beloved by Danes for its sandy beaches and fishing harbours, the island of Bornholm
is distinguished by more sunshine time than anywhere else in the country. It’s an attractive
dining destination, with traditional smokehouses offering local delicacies (美食). But it’s
Kadeau, a restaurant, that really puts Bornholm on the food map.
Have some street food in Copenhagen
Enjoy flavours from all corners of the globe at Reffen. Found in the former industrial
site of Refshaleøen, this street food market is an exciting hangout with a rainbow of
cuisines from Thai to Kurdish. Just across a river, Torvehallerne is the place for a bite.
Further south, BaneGaarden is hidden in leafy railway sidings at Vesterbro, and offers soul
food from the Deep South of the US.
Take a getaway at a castle in Zealand
On the island, one of Denmark’s oldest castles overlooks the scenic northwest coast.
The beautiful 13th-century Dragsholm Slot is now a luxury hotel with one of the most
well-known restaurants in Zealand — Dragsholm Slot Gourmet. It holds a Michelin star,
led by chef Jeppe Foldager who serves seasonal cuisine with materials farmed and hunted
from the surrounding fields, forests and sea. For a less pricey meal, the castle has the farm-
to-table Bistro and casual Madhus, where visitors can enjoy drinks, snacks and light meals.
21. What makes Bornholm unique in Denmark?
A. The longer sunshine hours. B. The traditional Dane foods.
C. The attractive smokehouses. D. The beautiful seaside scenery.
22. Which place offers worldwide food options?
高二英语 第 3 页 共 10 页A. Kadeau. B. Torvehallerne.
C. Reffen. D. BaneGaarden.
23. What do we know about Dragsholm Slot Gourmet?
A. It was once a castle. B. It is famous in Denmark.
C. It features light meals. D. It offers locally grown food.
B
One Saturday in December, Annacarin Elf, the head of operations at Gothenburg City
Library, just happened to walk by her workplace. Noticing that the door was open, she
entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were
using it like on a regular day.
It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library
behaved as usual. Many were reading newspapers, some families were in the children’s
section and others were searching for books on the computer.
It seemed that Elf’s colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this
popular library is usually open on Saturdays, visitors just assumed they could walk in.
After checking with her staff team, Elf announced to the people present that the library was
about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused
them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library, borrowing a total
of 246 books during the day. What’s remarkable is that people checked out their books
through the library’s electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have
been returned!
Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect
for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did
has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community.
Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It’s amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty
library and treated it so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual
Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a
totally automated library without staff.
24. Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library?
A. The library staff were in it.
B. People kept reading on holidays.
C. People came in without permission.
D. It was in use though supposed to be closed.
25. What did Elf do that Saturday?
A. She left the library open. B. She asked the staff back.
C. She apologized to the visitors. D. She read books in the library.
26. What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals?
高二英语 第 4 页 共 10 页A. It displays community spirit. B. It gives the library much uplift.
C. It is a positive reaction to society. D. It strengthens trust between people.
27. What does the author want to convey through the story?
A. People tend to show care for others.
B. Life is always full of the unexpected.
C. Libraries must be automated in the future.
D. A library can bring out the best in people.
C
In spite of the title, How to Grow Old, this article will really be on how not to grow
old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice would be
to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died young, I have done well
in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal (母亲方面的) grandfather, it is
true, died in the flower of his youth at the age of sixty-seven, but my other three
grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Of remote ancestors I can only discover one who
did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his
head cut off.
My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, as soon as she
became a widow, devoted herself to women’s higher education. She was the co-founders of
Girton College. She used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was
looking very sad. She inquired the cause of his sorrow and he said that he had just parted
from his two grandchildren. “Good gracious,” she exclaimed, “I have seventy-two
grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a
miserable existence!” “Madre snaturale (奇怪的母亲),” he replied.
But as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she
had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3
a.m. in reading popular science. I do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she
was growing old. This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide
and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason
to think about the merely statistical (统计学的) fact of the number of years you have
already lived, still less of the probable shortness of your future.
28. What do we know about author’s maternal grandmother?
A. She was a strange and cruel mother.
B. She set up Girton College with others.
C. Her husband died when he was young.
D. She had 72 children and grandchildren.
29. Why did the grandmother asked the gentleman?
A. Because she wanted to teach him a lesson.
B. Because she preferred cooking and talking.
C. Because she wanted show off her freedom.
高二英语 第 5 页 共 10 页D. Because she wondered why he was so sad.
30. What is the proper way to remain young according to the author?
A. To maintain wide interests and active participation.
B. To remember how many years you have lived so far.
C. To stay up reading from midnight to 3 a. m. every day.
D. To raise as many children as you can and cherish them.
31. What is the writing style of the passage?
A. Romantic. B. Imaginative. C. Humorous. D. Ironic.
D
Birds in North America will no longer be named after people, the American
Ornithological Society ( 美 国 鸟 类 学 会 ) announced Wednesday. Next year, the
organization will begin to rename around 80 species found in the U.S. and Canada.
“There is power in a name, and some English bird names have associations with the
past that continue to be exclusionary (排他的) and harmful today,” the organization’s
president, Colleen Handel, said in a statement. “Everyone who loves and cares about birds
should be able to enjoy and study them freely.”
Rather than review each bird named after a person individually, all such birds will be
renamed, the organization announced. Birds that will be renamed include those currently
called Wilson’s warbler and Wilson’s snipe, both named after the 19th-century naturalist
Alexander Wilson. Audubon’s shearwater, a seabird named for John James Audubon, also
will get a new name. In 2020, the organization renamed a bird once referring to a
Confederate Army general, John P. McCown, as the thick-billed longspur.
“I’m really happy and excited about the announcement,” said Emily Williams, an
ornithologist at Georgetown University who was not involved in the decision. She said
heated discussions over bird names have been happening within birdwatching communities
for the past several years. “Naming birds based on habitat or appearance is one of the least
problematic approaches,” she said.
Earlier this year, the National Audubon Society (NAS) announced that it would keep
its name, even as critics and some voices within the organization have argued that it should
dump (抛弃) the association with a man, John James Audubon, whose family treated their
employees cruelly.
“The name has come to represent so much more than the work of one person,” Susan
Bell, chair of the National Audubon Society’s Board of Directors, told Audubon magazine
in March, adding, “We shouldn’t ignore what John James Audubon did to his employees in
the past.”
32. Why are some examples given in paragraph 3?
A. To state naming birds after people is common practice.
B. To show birds are closely related to people’s daily life.
C. To introduce some famous naturalists to the readers.
高二英语 第 6 页 共 10 页D. To stress the influence celebrities have on society.
33. How should birds be named according to Emily Williams?
A. After their places of birth.
B. Based on their communities.
C. According to their habits.
D. In terms of their living places.
34. What is Susan Bell’s attitude towards the decision of NAS?
A. Supportive. B. Carefree.
C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Rare Species Found in North America
B. Bird Names Linking to Human History
C. Discussions Caused by Bird Names
D. Bird Species to Be Renamed Next Year

If your resolution is to learn a new language, you may be wondering: What’s the best
way to go about this? 36 There are many different ways to approach it. If you want
to start learning a language fast, though, there is plenty of advice we can offer.
Is grammar important?
Yes, grammar is important. But after all, when you’re learning your first language as a
baby, your parents don’t have to teach you the clear rules of the language. 3 7
Should I focus on speaking or writing?
3 8 If you want to travel and communicate with native speakers, then writing
might be slightly less helpful. But if you’re learning Latin because you want to read texts
in the original language, then you can probably skip the speaking part entirely.
Should I watch shows and listen to music in the language I’m learning?
Absolutely yes. Being exposed to a language will always help you with your learning.
3 9 Watching movies to learn a language may have helped somewhat. But it’s
important not to trap yourself with a complex language.
How Can I make language learning more fun?
One of the best ways to make learning more fun is to work it in to your other hobbies.
40
You can’t learn to play the guitar and go jogging at the same time, for example.
However, language is always around you and you can practice it while doing something
else. While jogging, you could listen to a podcast in another language. While playing the
guitar, you could pick songs that are in your target language. Anyway, connecting your
interests really matters.
高二英语 第 7 页 共 10 页A. You just pick it up by nature.
B. A new language isn’t like most other hobbies.
C. Yet the real question is what you should watch or listen to.
D. Unfortunately, there’s no “best way” to learn a new language.
E. So it’s more important to get comfortable with speaking the language.
F. The answer to this question really depends on what you hope to achieve.
G. An important thing to remember is switching up how you’re exposed to the
language.

文。
For months, Grace’s old mother Julia had been sitting in her home, making towels day
and night to sell at the annual local fair. With the $200 she had earned, she wanted to buy
some gifts for the poor families on the fifth floor for the coming New Year.
Then, on a happy snowy evening, Julia went to the grocery store to buy some food.
Later, she safely drove back home. At 9:30 that night, she called Grace and cried, “I lost
my wallet and all $200 I had earned. My New Year’s Day is ruined.” “Don’t worry, Mom,”
Grace said, completely unaware that Julia had gone out in the snow.
“I will drive to your place in the morning and we will find it,” Grace told her mother.
“No. It’s gone. It was in my pocket when I went to the store. But when I checked it just
now, it wasn’t there,” Julia said. “I searched my car and home. Then, I drove back to the
store to see if I left it there. But it wasn’t there either. Then, I walked through the parking
lot, looking for it, but it wasn’t anywhere.”
Thinking of her old mother’s going out on the snowy, windy night, Grace was
heartbroken. “It’ll be okay, Mom,” she comforted her mother. “We’ll cancel the credit card,
and we can replace all the rest of the things in your wallet.” However, getting her mother a
new license as well as bank, medical, and identity cards was discouraging even for Grace.
It took Grace several hours to drive to Julia’s house the following morning. But before
she got there, Julia had already gone back to the store again. With tears in her eyes, she
shared her story about the money she had earned with the store manager and asked if he
could check his store for her wallet. The manager felt a great pity for her and thought to
himself that if the wallet couldn’t be found, he’d give her some of his own money.
