Dating back to Norman times, it is famous for sweeping landscaped gardens, which is easy to see why its the Queens favorite week place. Famous for its architecture and Royal palace, the Castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion. Its home to priceless artworks and you can visit Queen Marys Dolls House. Remember dont miss the ceremonyChanging of the Guards. StonehengeStonehenge is located in the county of Wiltshire. This is your chance to see a side of the world-famous stones that most people dont get a chance to see! You will never forget your first glimpse of grand Stonehenge with its rocks rising up against the skyline on Salisbury Plain. There are many unsolved mysteries about the rocks. Was Stonehenge intended as a religious temple? A clock for astronomy? A burial ground? Make up your own mind as you explore this unique site that has confused the world for 5, 000 years. BathBeautiful Bath was the first city in England to be added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. No tour of Bath would be complete with a visit to the famous Roman Baths that gave the city its name. This beautifully preserved bathing site still has flowing water from Brains only hot spring. You will be amazed by the impressive torch-lighting ceremony as dusk falls. You can also have a taste of Baths water in Pump Room, where hot waters are drawn for drinking. 21. If your family (2 adults and 2 children) want to visit Winsor, Bath and Stonehenge, it will cost you at least _.A.188 B.356 C.168 D.34622. Where can visitors see Changing of the Guards?A. In WinsorCastle. B. In Bath. C. In Stonehenge. D. In Pump Room.23. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. a science fiction novel B. a travelling brochure C. a news report D. a sports magazineBWhen I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques. Coming out of this experience, I realize it is ok to be different from others and to study things like art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities（人文学科）!The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective（视角）. How could one effectively be an unbiased（无偏见的）writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society? How could one speak persuasively with closed minds? Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, well be freer, more open-minded, and less limited in what we can become!STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing（综合）ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you? Think of it. How often do you communicate with others? Produce ideas? Encounter people from other cultures? Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills?If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanists grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.24. Why did the author choose Business Management as his major at first?A. He was tired of learning comparative literature.B. He came to enjoy learning marketing techniques.C. He wanted to go to the same university as his friends.D. He believed Business Management was more practical.25. According to the author, what is a possible way to gain a broad perspective?A. Making more friends and learning from them.B. Exchanging ideas in a philosophy class.C. Opening your mind to future possibilities.D. Getting to know the popular opinion of society.26. In which of the following situations do soft skills play the most important role?A. Writing a software program.B. Performing a heart operation.C. Playing a musical instrument.D. Negotiating with a business partner.27. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Stick to Your Desired majorB. Broaden Your PerspectiveC. How to Acquire Soft SkillsD. Humanities vs. STEMCA small school in rural India is gaining attention over the fact that all 300 students are ambidextrous(左右手都灵巧的). Data shows that only one percent of the global population is ambidextrous, but the ambitious founder of Veena Vandini School, in Madhya Pradesh, is aiming to change that, starting at a local level.A former soldier and Veena Vandini School founder VP Sharma stated that he was inspired to focus on ambidexterity training by Indias first president Rajendra Prasad who was in office from 1950 to 1962. Unexpectedly, the president was ambidextrous. I read in a magazine that Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Indias first president, used to write with both hands. This inspired me to give it a try, “Mr. Sharma said.”Later when I launched my school at my native village, I tried training the students. We begin training students from standard and by the time they reach standard , they are comfortable writing with both the hands,” Sharma added. Students of up to standard can write with speed and accuracy. Further, they can write two scripts at the same time, one with each hand. Students also know several languages, including Urdu. Every 45-minute class at Veena Vandini includes 15 minutes devoted to handwriting practice, ensuring that every student develops the ability to write with both hands. VP Sharma also believes that the skill better enables students to learn multiple languages, and has them practice writing the same words in different languages at the same time. Although it is widely believed to help increase concentration, more recent studies have found that this is false and studying to become ambidextrous can, in fact, harm cognitive development.AScientificAmericanstudy revealed that ambidextrous children performed worse than left- or right-handers on a range of skills, especially in math, memory, and logical reasoning. A study in northern Finland indicated that children who are ambidextrous are much likelier to develop mental health issues, including ADHD, language problems, and academic problems.28.What is special about Veena Vandini School?A.It only accepts 300 students yearly.B.It was set up by Indias first president.C.It mainly teaches how to write with both hands.D.It requires students to learn practical living skills29.In which standard can students write quickly and accurately?A. Standard .B. Standard .C. Standard .D. Standard .30.What might most people think of the skill promoted by VP Sharma?A.It helps students fix their attention.B.It does harm to students creativity.C.It increases students academic stress.D.It inspires students to learn more languages.31.What do the two studies suggest in the last paragraph?A.Kids are reluctant to write with both hands.B.Kids shouldnt learn to write with both hands.C.Kids who are ambidextrous always fail in the math test.D.Kids who are ambidextrous often have serious mental illnessDEssentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological（按时间计算的）age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.“Chronological age isnt how old we really are. Its merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.”To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine biomarker（生物标志）that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune（免疫的）measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm（算式;算法）does the rest.Perhaps whats most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things arent set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before its too late.”Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. Im physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said.Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic（慢性的）diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.”32. Biological age depends on _.A. whether we can adapt ourselves to the environmentB. how well our body works compared with our peersC. when we start to take outdoor exerciseD. what the calendar says about our age33. By saying “we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one” in Para. 2, the author means _.A. we dont have to celebrate our birthday every yearB. we are chronologically older than last yearC. we might be less happy than the previous yearD. we may be biologically younger than the year before34. What does the author want to tell us by Levines example in Para. 5?A. It is necessary to change our diet regularly.B. The test results may give us wrong information.C. Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness.D. The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems.35. The eventual goal of Levines research is to _.A. free people from chronic diseasesB. work out a solution to genetic problemsC. keep people socially active even in old ageD. provide people with access to scientific theory第二节 (共5小题：每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A daily multivitamin may give your wellbeing an extra benefit，but if youve ever swallowed one and felt sick right after，you know its hardly a pleasant experience. _36_Youre taking vitamins on an empty stomach.Vitamins that are more acid in nature，like vitamin C，may cause nausea(恶心)if theyre consumed on an empty stomach.
