Your Garden Escape
Even in the big city you can find oases（绿洲） of calm and beauty. From a royal palace to a
classical garden, we recommend great green spaces to escape the hustle and bustle of London.
Horniman Gardens
Horniman Gardens cover 16 acres with breathtaking views of London. Visitors can enjoy the
Sound Garden, Meadow Field, and even a Prehistoric Garden, which features a display of living
fossils. The gardens are very popular with families, and dogs can be let off their leads in the Meadow
Field.
Chiswick Garden
As a classical garden landscape in London, it was here that the English Landscape Movement
was born with William Kent's designs. Enjoy fresh bread, seasonal food, and natural wines in the
award-winning cafe, while admiring the beauty of the naturalistic landscape, spotted with impressive
art and statues.
Buckingham Palace Garden
The 39-acre garden boasts more than 350 types of wildflowers, over 200 trees and a three-acre
lake. The garden also provides a habitat for native birds rarely seen in London. A tour of the garden
can be completed by having a cream tea in the cafe overlooking the Palace's famous grassland and
lake.
Kew Garden
The Royal Botanic Garden at Kew is one of the world's most famous gardens and a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. Have a walk through the vast garden, spot local wildlife at the lake, or get your

Anthony Doerr's new bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See, holds special appeal for me.
That's how I would describe it. From the poetic language, to the realization of what the title actually
means: that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that
have gone untold.
I'm going to be honest-love for this book didn't hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to
read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less
descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense-the physical
world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical（ 隐 喻 性 的 ） sense-scientific and
philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the two. It's a
beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.
However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it's also an upsetting story of a
childhood torn apart by war. It's about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six,
and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their
stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal
circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.
I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that
lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel （平行的） to
one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are
introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was
this, more than the predictably awful tale of war, that made me feel quite emotional.
24. What does the writer think of the book?
A. Light and easy to read. B. Rich in philosophical ideas.
C. Fascinating but too descriptive. D. Too complicated for its theme.
25. What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner?
A. The war leads to their sensitivity. B. They know each other at an early age.
C. The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow. D. They both have a miserable childhood.
26. What particularly stirred the writer's emotions?
A. The book's dramatic ending. B. The book's beautiful imagery.
C. The characters' interconnected destiny. D. The suffering brought by World War II.
27. What's the passage intended to do?
A. To share the writer's feelings of a book. B. To recommend a delightful bestseller.
C. To tell readers a heartbreaking story. D. To analyze the structure of a book.
C
When we experience earthquakes, medical emergencies-whatever the situation, the first thing
you probably do is panic. Everybody does. While many of us think that we're cool in a crisis, science
tells us that we seldom are. At the moment we need to be keenly aware of our surroundings, but our
attention goes to the scariest thing on the scene, leaving us unaware of the other sights, sounds, and
even smells around us. At the moment, we're anything but at our best.
These normal human reactions can be reversed. For example, firefighters are taught how to
bring down their blood pressure and heart rates quickly, box breathing, belly breathing, hum
breathing-you can learn these techniques in minutes. Once you calm down, you'll identify accurately
what the problem is really about. Lack of practice always causes us to judge problems in wrong ways.
Doing the thinking ahead of time also helps you fire off the solution when it's show time. This is why
you are advised to find the closest exit before the flight. And sometimes we aren't prepared with all
the knowledge we need. Let's say we're on a hike and a bear shows up. What shall we do? Better to
read suggestions on how to respond before heading into the wild.
Performing in a crisis is becoming more important for all of us for two reasons. Back in the good
old days, the reliability of most anything we used or did was far less than it is today. Now think about
what happens to our preparedness as the probability of something had happening reduces. Unless we
practice what hardly ever happens, our ability to respond when it does happen tends to slip away.
Reliability can kill you. Also, the systems we use today are more complex. There are seldom moving
parts in plain view that allow us to see when things are about to go wrong. Consequently, terrible
situations cancome out of nowhere. Ironically, the systems that were designed to lessen our
workload might require us to remain in a state of increased vigilance （警觉） in order to survive
these increasingly infrequent events when they do happen.
As technology becomes part of most everything, and as once-large risks break into countless
small ones, crisis situations may become standard affairs. We should all learn to breathe, recognize
the situation, and carry out the plan that we are smart enough to prepare well in advance.
28. According to the passage, when an armed robbery happens, most witnesses will first ___.
A. observe the surroundings. B. pretend to be calm.
C. decide what to do. D. focus on the gun.
29. What does the underlined word reversed in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Tested. B. Changed. C. Predicted. D. Understood.
30. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ____.
A. things are less dependable than they used to be.
B. cautiousness helps prevent the occurrence of crisis.
. C. convenience reduces our problem-solving capability.
D. the complexity of present systems ensures our safety.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce ways of avoiding crisis situations.
B. To point out the connection between stress and risks.
C. To raise awareness of the preparation for emergencies.
D. To analyse the influence of technology on crisis management.
D
Antibiotics, which can destroy or prevent the growth of bacteria and cure infections, are vital to
modern medicine. Their ability to kill bacteria without harming the patient has saved billions of lives
and made surgical procedures much safer. But after decades of overuse, their powers are fading. Some
bacteria have evolved resistance, creating a growing army of superbugs, against which there is little
effective treatment. Antimicrobial（抗菌的）resistance, expected to kill 10 million people a year by
2050 up from around I million in 2019, has been seen as a crisis by many.
It would be unwise to rely on new antibiotics to solve the problem. The rate at which resistance
emerges is increasing. Some new drugs last only two years before bacteria develop resistance. When
new antibiotics do arrive, doctors often store them, using them only reluctantly and for short periods
when faced with the most persistent infections. That limits sales, making new antibiotics an
unappealing idea for most drug firms.
Governments have been trying to fix the problem by channeling cash into research in drug firms.
That has produced only limited improvements. But there is a phenomenon worth a look.
Microbiologists have known for decades that disease-causing bacteria can suffer from illnesses of
their own. They are supersensitive to attacks by phages, specialized viruses that infect bacteria and
often kill them. Phages are considered a promising alternative to antibiotics.
Using one disease-causing virus to fight bacteria has several advantages. Like antibiotics, phages
only tend to choose particular targets, leaving human cells alone as they infect and destroy bacterial
ones. Unlike antibiotics, phages can evolve just as readily as bacteria can, meaning that even if
bacteria do develop resistance, phages may be able to evolve around them in turn.
That, at least, is the theory. The trouble with phages is that comparatively little is known about
them. After the discovery of penicillin, the first antibiotic, in 1928, they were largely ignored in the
West. Given the severity of the antibiotic-resistance problem, it would be a good idea to find out more
about them.
The first step is to run more clinical trials. Interest from Western firms is growing. But it is being
held back by the fact that phages are an even less appealing investment than antibiotics. Since they
are natural living things, there may be trouble patenting them, making it hard to recover any
investment.
Governments can help fund basic research into phage treatment and clarify the law around
exactly what is and is not patentable. In time they can set up phage banks so as to make production
cheaper. And they can spread awareness of the risks of overusing antibiotics, and the potential
benefits of phages.
32. We can learn from paragraphs 1 and 2 that ____.
A. doctors tend to use new antibiotics when the patients ask for them.
B. antimicrobial resistance is developing more rapidly than predicted.
C. new antibiotics fail to attract drug firms due to limited use of them.
D. previous antibiotics are effective in solving modern health problems.
33. What is phages' advantage over antibiotics?
A. They can increase human cells when fighting bacteria.
B. They are not particular about which cells to infect and kill.
C. They can evolve accordingly when bacteria develop resistance.
D. They are too sensitive to be infected by disease-causing bacteria.
34. According to the passage, the obstacle to phage treatment is that
A. there is little chance of patenting phages in the future.
B. governments provide financial support for other research.
C. the emergence of superbugs holds back drug firms' interest.
D. over-dependence on antibiotics distracts attention from phages.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Governments fail to stop the use of antibiotics.
B. Phages could help prevent an antibiotics crisis.
C. Development of antibiotics is limited by phages.
D. Antimicrobial resistance calls for new antibiotics.

In my writing, I adhere（遵守） to some essential rules: understanding the message I want to
convey and to whom I am communicating, and presenting it in a clear and concise（简洁的）
manner. When my target audience is my professors, or when my writing is expected to be read by my
students, I adopt a different style. __36__A clear message is necessary to avoid boring readers or
losing your audience.
