Don’t you wish those long summer days could last forever? An island in northern Norway is campaigning to do just that. Sommary-meaning “Summer Island” -wants to throw away its watches and declare itself the world’s first time-free zone. On this island in West Troms, north of the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn’t set from May 18 right through to July 26. The locals, having suffered the long polar night from November to January, when the sun doesn’t rise at all, make the most of these precious months, with no regard to conventional timekeeping. “When there’s constantly daylight, we act accordingly,” says islander Kjell Ove Hveding in a statement. “In the middle of the night, which city folk might call‘2 a.m. ’, you can spot children playing soccer, people painting their houses or mowing their lawns, and teens going for a swim.” Islanders hope to be free of traditional opening hours and to introduce flexibility in school and working hours. Fishing and tourism are the main industries on this island with a population of little more than 300 people. Hveding says local fishermen and women often spend days on the ocean pursuing their catch, with little regard to timekeeping. It’s clear they mean business. Islanders gathered at a town hall meeting to sign a petition （请愿）for a time -free zone and on June 13, Hveding met with a Norwegian official to hand over the locals’ signatures and to discuss the practical and legal challenges of the initiative. “To many of us, getting this in writing would simply mean formalizing something we have been practicing for generations.” he says. Now, when visitors cross the bridge to the island from the mainland, they aren’t greeted with love locks like on similar bridges worldwide. The bridge is covered with watches, as people prepare for entry to the land time forgets. 【1】How long are the polar days on Sommary? A.About2 months. B.About3 months. C.About4 months. D.About5 months. 【2】What can we learn about the islanders from paragraph 3? A.They prefer to work at might. B.They arrange their time flexibly. C.They can’t distinguish day from night. D.They are bothered by the constant daylight. 【3】What do the islanders intend to do? A.Raise locals’ awareness of time. B.Make the time-free zone official. C.Promote their fishing and tourism. D.Have their working hours extended. 【4】Which can best replace the underlined part “they mean business” in paragraph 5? A.They are traditional. B.They are greedy. C.They are serious.

If you’re reading this article. It’s safe to assume you don’t need to be sold on the power of the written word. You may already be familiar with findings suggesting even children as young as six months who read books with their parents several times a week show stronger writing and reading skills four years later and score higher on intelligence tests. But latest research shows that when practiced over a lifetime, reading books can support healthy brain functioning in big ways. Simply put: word power increases brain power. Why does reading books in particular boost your brain power while reading newspapers and magazines doesn’t? The researchers assume that chapter books encourage “deep reading”, which forces your brain to think critically and make connections from one chapter to another and to the outside world. When you make connections.so does your brain, forming new pathways between different regions in your brain. Over time, these neural （神经的）networks can promote quicker thinking and may provide a greater defense against the worst effects of cognitive （认知的）decline. That’s not to say that magazines, newspapers, and web articles are without merit. Reading anything that fills your mind and exposes you to new words, phrases , and facts seems to carry mental benefits. New research indicates that a large vocabulary may lead to a more flexible mind by fueling what scientists call cognitive reserve. Just as your blood cells will clot （凝结）to cover a cut on your knee, cognitive reserve helps your brain cells find new mental pathways around areas damaged by stroke （脑中风）, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive decline. This could explain why, after death, many seemingly healthy elders turn out to harbor advanced signs of Alzheimer’s disease in their brains despite showing few signs in life. It’s their cognitive reserve that allows some seniors to compensate for hidden brain damage. 【1】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph I probably mean? A.Pay for. B.Worry about. C.Be persuaded to accept. D.Be offered a discount on. 【2】In which aspect does reading a book boost your brain power? A.Strengthening neural networks. B.Blocking the cell’s aging process. C.Promoting new brain cells’ growth. D.Curing cognitive decline completely. 【3】What’s the function of the cognitive reserve? A.It can enlarge your vocabulary. B.It can stop a cut from bleeding. C.It can prevent mental diseases. D.It can make up for brain damage. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Which Is Better-Books or Magazines B.Who Need Reading-the Young or the Old C.Reading Makes a Full Man-It Counts D.Increasing Your Word Power It Pays Off |

How to Choose Between Private and Public School Choosing whether to send your children to a public or private school can be a very hard decision to make. 【1】 Making sure what matters to you in terms of your child’s educational experience can also help. Determine which subjects are important to your child. When you’re weighing the difference between public and private school, curriculum is a good place to start. Almost all public schools follow the same curriculum, emphasizing core subjects like math, science. English and social studies, because they’re bound by law, but private schools are not. 【2】 Decide how important extra-curricular activities are to your child. Public schools tend to have a greater variety of activities, clubs, and sports teams than private schools because they get a certain amount of funding for this. 【3】 It is important if the sport your child plays is not very common in public schools. Take into account teacher quality. Because public and private schools are governed by different laws and regulations, the quality of teachers can vary. 【4】 This means that every teacher your child has will have a teaching certificate. But not all teachers in private schools have one. It can be great for your child if, for example, their history teacher has a PhD in history (but no teaching certificate). 【5】 In general, compared with private schools, there are more students in a class in public schools. If you need a school that can give more attention to individual students, you might consider a private school or a smaller public school. A.Take class size into consideration. B.Private schools differ from public schools in various ways. C.Find out how many students have registered for the school. D.Public schools are required by law to employ certified teachers. E.They may emphasize different subjects, or specialize in a particular type of curriculum. F.Private schools will sometimes offer sports and activities that public schools don’t. G.Knowing the differences between public and private education can make the process easier. |

阅读下面材料。根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a T-ball game. That was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway. There, we spotted two adult geese and a baby goose. The adults were shocked by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid physical contact with the baby goose out of fear that it would imprint upon us and be lost to its family forever. Hours passed, and night fell. With it came a deep cold and a fear of watchful predators (捕食者).The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard, unaware of what could happen, and it was clear that the baby goose needed protection, warmth, and nutrients to make it to the morning. At that point. we knew we had to step in and brought him onto our back porch(门厅). We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to send the goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn't go to them, though, and they wouldn't come close enough to claim him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. By then, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family, so we had to give him a name-Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. We settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs and friendship. Peeper slept on our back porch each night and my dad would clean the goose droppings in the morning. Part of the routine included dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop (圈）around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One evening, my dad threw Peeper up in the air as usual, but this time, Peeper just flew off. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It came as a total shock to me when.in 2019, an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
