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

The daughter of a romantic poet and occasional freedom fighter, Ada Lovelace had a famous but absent father. She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence. In an effort to prevent Ada from developing her father’s unpredictable temper, Isabella decided that her daughter should devote her life to study.
Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women pursuing interests in science. Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old’s obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor. Ada married in 1835 and became a mother, but she continued to take an active interest in study, socialising in intellectual circles with the likes of Charles Dickens and Michael Faraday.
Ada stayed in contact with Babbage, who in 1837 had proposed a new machine, the analytical engine. In 1843, Ada was asked to translate a French text written by engineer Luigi Menabrea about Babbage’s new design. After completing the translation, Ada was encouraged by Babbage to write her own notes on his work.
After nine months of hard work, Ada presented Babbage with a detailed list of notes that was three times longer than the original article. In her calculations, Ada wrote what are considered the first ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.
Ada died of cancer aged only 36 and her work was largely recognised until the 1950s when her notes were republished. In 1979 the US Department of Defence named a programming language ‘Ada’ in her honour.
24. What can we learn about Ada from the first paragraph
A. She had a devoted father. B. Her mother raised her up alone.
C. She had an unpredictable temper. D. Her parents divorced before her birth.
25. Who aroused her interest in mathematics and computer engineering
A. Charles Dickens. B. Michael Faraday.
C. Luigi Menabrea. D. Charles Babbage.
26. Which words can best describe Ada
A. Modest and outgoing. B. Talented and diligent.
C. Generous and persistent. D. Determined and independent.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Ada’s notes were published only once.
B. Ada named a programming language after herself.
C. Ada earned a reputation nearly a century after her death.
D. Ada’s work was largely recognized when she was alive.
C
Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she’s doesn’t actually accomplish much.
This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.
The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work — it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it. It not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.
In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about fifty minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit. So how do these students achieve this goal To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula (公式): work accomplished = time spent × intensity of focus
Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.
28. Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working
A Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
B. Mike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.
C. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
D. Alice and Sara are sitting on the couch reading their favorite books.
pared with straight-A students, the major problem of most students is that they ______.
A. want to spend more time on study B. are eager to follow their friends’ way
C. have got used to their study approach D. are unaware of their pseudo-working
30. What does the underlined word “optimal” mean in paragraph 5
A. Possible. B. Best. C. Least. D. Accurate.
31. What does the author want to stress by mentioning the formula
A. The length of time on study counts.
B. Concentration plays a key role in study.
C. Getting work done quickly means everything.
D. Effective study approach is very important.
D
The sales pitches tempt: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost $15 all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It contains the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
“These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz, But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
32. What is Dr. Esparaz’s attitude toward business publicity
A. Unclear. B. indifferent. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
33. What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs
A. It can be beneficial. B. It may facilitate sleep.
C. It actually causes health issues. D. It merely comes from digital devices.
34. Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses_________.
A. helps prevent eye disease B. are not harmful to eyesight
C. contributes to no less eye strain D. benefits those with sleep disorders
35. What might be the best title of this passage
A. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Your Best Choice
B. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Good or Bad
C. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: A Good Business
D. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Smart and Cool

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you want to improve your relationship with Mom or Dad, try listening to them, just like you would listen to a friend.
Now, it may seem kind of strange to treat your parents as if they were normal people and all, but it’s worth trying. We’re always saying to our parents, “ 36 ” But have you ever stopped to consider that maybe you don’t understand them
They have pressures, too, you know While you’re worrying about your friends and your upcoming history test, they’re worrying about their bosses and how they’re going to pay for your education. Like you, sometimes they get offended at work and go in the restroom to cry. 37 Your mom may have too much work stress to just sit down and relax at night. Your dad may get laughed at by the neighbours because of the car he drives. They may have unfulfilled dreams they’ve had to sacrifice so that you can reach yours. 38 They laugh, they cry, they get their feelings hurt, and they don’t always get their act together, just like me and you.
39 First, you’ll gain a greater respect for them. Second, if you take time to understand your parents, you’ll get your way much more often. If they feel that you understand them, they’ll be more willing to listen to you, they’ll be more flexible, and they’ll trust you more.
40 Start by asking them some questions. When’s the last time you asked your mom or dad, “How was your day today ” or “Tell me what you like and don’t like about your job” or “Is there anything I could do to help around the house ”
A．You don’t understand me.
B．Hey, parents are people, too.
C．It’s important to get on well with your parents.
D．So how can you better understand your parents
E．Jump into their shoes and think from their point of view.
F．They have days when they don’t know how they will pay the bills.
G．If you take time to listen to your parents, two wonderful things will happen.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲解了“伪工作”的一些表现和其危害，并建议大家提高专注度，提高效率。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.”(这种现象在大多数大学校园中都可以看到。例如，在达特茅斯，主图书馆有一个部分是 24 小时开放的，我以前在深夜看到的学生成群结队地喝咖啡，绝对是伪工作。一边看电视一边在沙发上翻阅她的化学笔记的室友是伪工作。)可知，以上的现象都是“伪工作”。C项“Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.”(杰克一边听音乐一边在图书馆里写论文很长时间。)与以上例子相似，都是将自己置于分散注意力的环境中并坚持长时间工作，故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work—it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working.”(这里更大的问题是大多数学生甚至没有意识到他们是在伪工作。对他们来说，伪工作就是工作——这是他们一直以来的工作方式，也是他们所有朋友的工作方式。他们从来没有想过可能有更好的方法。另一方面，全优学生对伪工作了如指掌。)可知，大多数学生并不了解他们在在“伪工作”，但是优等生了解。D项“are unaware of their pseudo-working”(不知道他们的伪工作)符合原文表述，故选D项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort.”(事实上，成为一名全优学生最重要的技能是能够快速完成工作并尽量减少浪费的精力。)中的“get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort”和“maximize the material integrated per time unit”(最大化每个时间单位整合的材料)中的“maximize”可猜测是其意为“最佳的”。B项“Best”(最好的)符合句意，故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“ So how do these students achieve this goal To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula: work accomplished=time spent × intensity of focus”(那么这些学生是如何实现这一目标的呢 要了解他们成功的秘诀，可以考虑以下简单的公式:完成的工作=花费的时间×专注的强度)最后一段“Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.”(“伪工作”的特点是聚焦强度很低。因此，要通过伪工作来完成某件事，您需要花费大量时间。另一方面，直A方法会增加聚焦强度以减少时间。)可知，作者并不支持“伪工作”，所以作者更加支持通过减少时间增加专注强度的方法，故推测作者列出公式是为了强调“专注强度”的重要性。B项“Concentration plays a key role in study.”(专注在学习中起着关键作用。)符合推断，故选B项。

第一节(满分15 分)
What Adolescents Are Doing in Their Free Time
Recently, a survey has been conducted among students in our school to find out what adolescents are doing in their free time. The results are as follows.
On average, the respondents spend 45% of their leisure time behind screens. By contrast, exercise and in-person socializing take up 12.5% and 11.3% of their time respectively. The survey reveals that adolescents are prioritizing screen time over exercise and other activities by a considerable margin, which could be detrimental to their health.
From my perspective, we students should cut down on screen time and get involved in a wider variety of leisure activities. Only in this way can we live a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Welcome to our new show, Colorful Animal Kingdom: a program introducing animals to the young and old. In today's show, I will talk about how to raise bearded dragons. Bearded dragons originate from the deserts of Australia, and this is one of several species that survive in that climate. Today, beardies like this one are fed here in the US. First, you need to have the right supplies: a cage or something like that, a UV bulb, branches and rocks to climb on and rest on, a food or water dish, and something to line the bottom of the cage. You can even take them outside three times a week in the direct sunlight. Then it comes to the dietary needs of a bearded dragon.They mainly eat insects, vegetables and the leaves of plants. Well, since bearded dragons traditionally live in dry regions, they obtain most of their water naturally from what they eat. You have to be sure to feed them plenty of vegetables that serve as good carriers of water.
