Its true to say that technology makes our lives easier. However, scientists are saying that we need to give ourselves a breakotherwise we put ourselves at risk of developing hundreds of health problems. With all this free time, why not put it to good use and do something without technology?To start with, you could learn a new skill. There are hundreds of possibilities: crafts (工艺), cooking, learning a musical instrument or a new sport. Maybe youve always wanted to learn to cook for your family, but havent had time? Perhaps you feel like learning how to knit (编织), so you can have a new sweater for the autumn? You could use your free time to learn something newand perhaps it will lead to an exciting chance in the future.If you just want to relax, why not go to a beach? Take along your favorite book and relax on the sand, or go for a walk along the coastline. If you dont live near a beach, you could go to your local park. Why not take along a picnic, or try and discover some of the local wildlife?Little things, like challenging yourself to complete a crossword or a Sudoku, are a great place to start. You could even follow the latest fashion: adult coloring books! Coloring is amazing, and it can be a nice way to escape from the pressure of modern life!Whatever you choose to do with your summer, try something new!

Not knowing where to get the money, he and a friend decided to host a musical concert to raise money for their education.They went to the great pianist Paderewski. His manager demanded $2,000 for the piano recital (独奏会). A deal was made and the boys began to work to make the concert a success. The big day arrived. But unfortunately, they hadnt managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was only $1,600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and gave him the entire $1,600, and promised to pay him the rest $400 back as soon as possible. “No,” said Paderewski. “Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left.” The boys were surprised, and very thankful.Paderewski later became the Prime Minister of Poland, and he was a great leader. When the World War broke out, more than 1.5 million people went hungry, but there was no food to feed them. Paderewski turned to the US Food and Relief Administration for help.The head there was a man called Herbert Hooverwho later became the US President. Hoover agreed to help and quickly shipped tons of food to Poland.Paderewski decided to go across to thank Hoover himself. When Paderewski began to thank Hoover for his kindness, Hoover quickly stopped him and said, “You shouldnt be thanking me, Mr. Prime Minister. You may not remember this, but several years ago, you helped two young students go through college. I was one of them.”28Why did the two students decide to raise money?A. To pay for their education. B. To buy the concert tickets.C. To help people in Poland.D. To hold a musical concert.29What did the two students think of the pianist?A. Greedy. B. Humorous. C. Helpful. D. Shy. 30What can we learn about Herbert Hoover?A. He was one of Paderewskis students. B. He didnt finish his college education.C. He was very rich when he was young. D. He was one of the American presidents.31What can we learn from the text?A. Great minds think alike. B. Kindness brings its own rewards.C. Honesty is the best policy. D. Where theres a will, theres a way.D“Its raining cats and dogs!” Although this phrase is not very common in England any more, it clearly shows how we dont always say what we mean. One thing that is often frustrating (灰心的) for language learners is that they understand every word in a sentence and yet the meaning remains unclearlike this sentence that actually means “its raining very heavily!” However, its not just idioms that cause difficulties for people learning English.The British are often considered to be polite but this can be very confusing for non-native speakers. We often dont say what we are thinkingin fact we often say the opposite! Heres an example that will hopefully explain what I mean: “You should come round for tea!”British people are less open than people from other cultures, so we arent as quick to invite people into our homes. This phrase is one of those that we say but often dont really mean, so when no further details are given, you can probably assume (认为) it was made in the name of politeness! But how does this compare to other countries?When I lived in India, lots of people would invite me into their homes but I always assumed that they were just being polite. Of course, I was wrong. The invitations were almost always genuine, and people expected me to visit them. I was always surprised by how welcoming people were. In fact, I think I spent more time at other peoples houses than my own!In England, we often think its polite to offer or suggest something even if we dont actually want to do it, while in other cultures people are more direct. Perhaps if English people just say what they were thinking, things would be a lot easierespecially for non-native speakers!32The example “Its raining cats and dogs!” is mentioned to show that _.A. it is time for people protect these pet animals B. the weather condition in England is rather awful C. what British people say is different from what they think D. it is difficult for non-native learner to understand idioms33What do people from other cultures think of British peoples politeness?A. Direct and honest.B. Too traditional to accept.C. Serious and formal.D. Difficult to understand.34Which of the following best explains “genuine” underlined in Paragraph 4?A. Personal.B. Real.C. Informal.D. Special.35What is the main purpose of the text?A. To encourage people to show politeness.B. To teach people how to avoid misunderstandings.C. To discuss how to learn English idioms effectively.D. To advise people to understand politeness culturally.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。 More than half the planets population now live in cities, with limited access to the natural world. For Europe and Latin America, the figure is more than 70%. 36 Gardening in particular is an opportunity for everyone to have such kind of experience, even if they live in built-up areas. It is typically seen as moderate (适度的) intensity exercise equal to playing doubles tennis or walking at a speed of 3.5mph, so it has similar fitness benefits. 37 Home and gardens have long been important for family food production, but gardening can also encourage people to eat more healthily and act as an educational resource on nutritious food. In fact, children who take part in gardening and grow their own food have a greater preference for, and increased consumption of, fruit and vegetables. 38 Research has shown that gardeners generally have greater life satisfaction, raised self-esteem and fewer feelings of depression and anger than non-gardeners.This last point suggests that the mental benefits of gardening may be more than just a side-effect of the physical exercise involved. 39 People with strong social networks have an increased life expectancy, less stress and fewer visits to the doctor. In addition, spending time outdoors in a natural environment helps us to feel less stressed, reduce the symptoms of depression, and improve our concentration and attention.All this evidence shows theres a strong relationship between gardening and health, but we only know for sure that there is connection, not “cause and effect”. 40 We also need to directly examine the immediate effects of gardening on people who have never previously taken part or are suffering from mental and physical ill health.A. Gardening is also linked to better diets.B. But more than this, it can promote peoples mental health.C. One possible reason is that gardening can involve social interaction. D. A good eating is supposed to include a balance of several food groups.E. Yet contact with nature has varieties of benefits for both physical and mental health.F. This means gardening alone is not necessarily a direct cause of any improvements in health.G. Remaining socially active can also inspire seniors to build confidence and live a healthy life.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In this age of environmental crises, perhaps it comes no surprise that Stella Bowles found one in her own backyard.
