26、When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well, now you’re going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Tube” to your definition, because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”
London was established by the Romans around 2, 000 years ago and has been continually inhabited(居住于)since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density(密度)than most of the world’s cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.
In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world’s first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and expanding public parks, greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through.
“Inspired by the aims and values of our precious rural national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term strategic thinking,” Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the campaign to make London a National Park City six years ago, said in a press release. “We’ve been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green and diverse.”
London will have a much easier job to achieve this type of green transformation than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible—the National Park City Foundation hopes to employ 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are all currently considering becoming National Park Cities.
【1】What can we know about London from the text?
A.About thirty percent of the city is green space.
B.It has a history of about 1, 000 years.
C.It has a much higher urban density.
D.It was established by the Greeks.
【2】What is Daniel Raven-Ellison trying to talk about in the fourth paragraph?
A.London’s long-term strategic thinking.
B.The cost of London’s green space.
C.The effects of national parks on London.
D.The significance of London’s campaign.
【3】Where can we find the data on London’s measures to achieve its goal?
A.In Paragraph 1.
B.In Paragraph 2.
C.In Paragraph 3.
D.In Paragraph 4.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.It is so difficult for London to become a national park city.
B.National park cities are springing up around the world.
C.Trying to be a national park city is turning new trend.
D.National park cities are making improvements to our life.
27、After leaving the publishing industry in my fifties, I chose a university to follow my love for animal biology. I regard the experience as a change for my self-confidence, both inside and outside the classroom.
My background is in the arts, so I wanted to see if I could keep up with a science degree. I was a carer for my parent when I was 18, so I didn’t have the opportunity to go to university then. I was a little nervous, and worried, but I was actually treated the same as all the other students.
I’m definitely a bit of a mum figure to some of my classmates, but that’s fine. Friendship grows in different ways. I’ve done lots of volunteering, so there have been plenty of opportunities to extend my knowledge and experience.
My family have been so supportive. My husband is retired(退休) now and has taken on lots of the housework so that I can study. My daughter has already g other degree and she’s been great helping me get new views. I’ve hunted for a few jobs at the university, and I’m also considering other qualifications. I have learned so much about critical thinking.
I would recommend adult study to anyone, even if it’s just college, so they can feel that connection and support. That’s what I missed-going in regularly and having a group of people to talk to, especially if you have gradually lost your confidence over the years You need the support from people who see you as a person and not just a mum or a wife. It’s really given me the confidence to speak up again, to join in and be part of the society.

28、James Joyce called Dublin the “center of paralysis (瘫痪),” and complained in a letter: “How sick I am of Dublin! It is the city of failure and unhappiness. I long to be out of it.” He spent the last 30 years of his life settling for periods in Trieste, Rome, Zurich, Paris-anywhere but Dublin.
It is a noticeable irony that his masterpiece Ulysses is not only set in Dublin, but never allows us to forget it. The novel tells the story of the hour-by-hour events of one day in Dublin—June 16, 1904, as an ordinary Dubliner, Leopold Bloom, makes his way through the urban landscape, the journey of a modern-day Ulysses, Streets, shops, pubs, churches, bridges—something of Dublin pops up on nearly every page. The city is always there no matter how difficult to understand Joyce’s prose (散文) becomes.
Bloomsday—June 16—is an annual celebration among Joyce fans throughout the world, from Fort Lauderdale to Melbourne. It is celebrated in at least 60 countries worldwide, but nowhere so imaginatively, of course, as in Dublin. There the events of Leopold Bloom’s day are acted out all across Dublin by anyone who cares to participate.
At lunchtime, it’s traditional to stop off for a glass of wine and a Gorgonzola sandwich at Davy Byme’s Pub on Duke Street, just as Bloom did. In the afternoon, the Ormond Hotel, where Bloom had feelings for the barmaids in the Sirens chapter, is the spot for an afternoon drink.
The years since 1904 have made following Bloom’s exact route impossible—Bloom’s home at 7 Eccles Street no longer exists and the red-light district, in which the unreal Circe chapter takes place, has been leveled; only the street pattern remains.
Bloomsday celebrations also feature readings of Ulysses, James Joyce lookalike contests, various other semi-literary activities, and a good excuse for drinking a few Guinnesses. In the eyes of many, it’s easier and a lot more fun than trying to work your way through the novel.
【1】What does the underlined word “irony” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Joyce hated Dublin but showed his love for it in Ulysses.
B.Joyce complained about Dublin but still spent time there.
C.Joyce disliked Dublin but his novel set in it was impressive.
D.Joyce’s prose was hard to understand despite being successful.
【2】The novel Ulysses is mentioned to ________.
A.prove the greatness of Joyce’s literary works.
B.clarify the misunderstanding about Joyce.
C.show Joyce’s hidden love for Dublin.
D.introduce the origin of Bloomsday.
【3】According to the article, Bloomsday ________.
A.started on June 16, 1904 in Dublin.
B.is a day to celebrate James Joyce and Ulysses.
C.is celebrated worldwide every other year.
D.is a holiday for people to fully explore Dublin.
【4】Which of the following is a typical Bloomsday celebration?
A.Taking part in Ulysses reading contests.
B.Trying to set a Guinness record in drinking.
C.Following Blooms’s route to visit the red-light district.
D.Experiencing certain scenes described in Ulysses
29、Fraser Doherty was only 14 when he started making jam(果酱).There had always been a special way of making jam in the Doherty family. One day his grandmother told Fraser the secret and, with her help, he began to invent his own unusual jam, all called SuperJam.
The jam was good because soon Fraser was making it and selling it to his friends and neighbors after school. Within four years he produced 1,000 tins of jam a week from his parents’ home in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 2007, when he was just 17, he won an order to produce 120,000 tins of jam a week for a big British supermarket(超市).That meant that he needed to start producing jam in a factory, not at home.
When Fraser was 18 he studied business at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. He hoped that his business would grow and if it did, he could sell jam to other supermarkets. Things went really well. At the age of 24 he was already a millionaire(百万富翁). Today he sells jam to over 2,000 supermarkets around the world, from Australia to Russia!
Traditional jam contains often 80 percent sugar, but Mr. Doherty, whose company is called SuperJam, has created a healthy choice. He uses only fruit and fruit juice, not sugar. He wanted to make jam as healthy as possible, and take the place of the traditionally unhealthy jam with a “super jam”. “It was quite surprising to change a product that people have made the same way for hundreds of years, but I wanted to add a new way.” A food researcher said, “Fraser has taken an old product and he has made it young, exciting and modern.”
【1】When did Fraser begin to do business?
A.At age 24.
B.At age 18.
C.At age 17.
D.At age 14.

A.Kind-hearted
B.Honest.
