A

Here are some of the prettiest small towns across Europe, from humble fishing towns to hilltop medieval power bases.

Giethoorn, Netherlands

They call it the Dutch answer to Venice, but Giethoorn lacks one crucial thing that the Italian city has in spades: over tourism. As in Venice, life revolves around the water, here-there are no cars in the center so the only way to get around is on foot or on the water.

Roscoff, France

Port towns can be rather dirty. Not lovely little Roscoff, though, in France’s Brittany region, which built its fortune on maritime trade. Today, it’s a center of thalassotherapy, using seawater to treat medical conditions, as well as a beautiful Breton town. Tiny fishing boats rest in the small harbor-with a larger one, where ferries leave for Plymouth in the UK, further out.

Dinkelsbühl, Germany

A cute historic center, wooden houses and large towers-Dinkelsbühl has it all. Wrapped by medieval walls with a vast Gothic church, St George’s Minster, it was the setting for Werner Herzog’s film “The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser. ”

Clovelly, UK

Donkeys used to be the only way to get up and down the steep streets of Clovelly, a pretty fishing village in Devon, southwest England.

Today, they still haven’t managed to bring cars in- it sits at the bottom of a 400-foot cliff （悬崖）. Instead, goods are transported by, man-powered sledges （雪橇）－and if tourists can’t face the walk back up to the car park, they can grab a ride in a Land Rover instead.

1. Where should visitors go if they want to receive a health treatment?

A. Giethoorn. B. Roscoff. C. Dinkelsbühl. D. Clovelly.

2. What can visitors do at Clovelly?

A Take a boat tour. B. Drive a car.

C. Get around on foot. D. Take a man-powered sledge.

3. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To amuse readers. B. To tell the history.

C. To educate tourists. D. To introduce sights.高中英语教学交流网zshunj_cn

B

Imagine the most English-English person you can think of. Now I'm fairly certain that no matter what picture you just thought up, that person comes complete with a stiff upper lip and a cup of tea in their hand, because that's what the English do. They carry on and they drink tea. Tea is so utterly English, such a rooted part of the culture, that it's also rooted in how everyone else around the world perceives that culture.

And while it's fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it's far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.

Travel back in time to 1662, when Catherine of Braganza （daughter of Portugal's King John IV） won the hand of England's newly restored monarch, King Charles II, with the help of a very large dowry （嫁妆）that included money, spices, treasures and the highly profitable ports of Tangiers and Bombay. This made her one very important lady: the Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland.

When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry. A fun legend has it that the boxes were marked 1ransporte de Ervas Aromaticas （Transport of Aromatic Herbs） later shortened to T. E. A.

That last bit probably isn't true （experts believe the word “tea" came from a Chinese character）, but what is for sure is that tea was already popular among the upper class of Portugal due to the country's direct trade line to China via Macau.

4 What do people think of tea drinking in Britain?

A. Typical. B. Fashionable. C. Incredible. D. Unusual.

5. Who promoted the fashion of tea drinking in England?

A. Common Westerners.

B. The Chinese people.

C. Portugal's King John IV.

D. The Queen of King Charles II.

6. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.Tea was part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza.

B The word 'tea' came from Portuguese marks on the boxes.

C. Tea became popular in Portugal earlier than it did in England.

D. The direct trade line between China and England developed because of tea.

7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. The story behind British tea drinking.

B. The legend of tea drinking in Portugal.

C. The origin of Westerners' tea drinking.

D. The history of tea trade between China and Britain.高中英语教学交流网zshunj_cn

Will skipping breakfast make me fat?

The good news for those who don't have breakfast is that putting on weight isn't inevitable- -as long as you control those high-calorie desires and stay active.

Research shows that although avoiding breakfast will make you hungrier and you might make up for that with a bigger lunch, this won't necessarily make you “fatter”--on average, those who skip breakfast don't eat more across the whole day than if they didn't skip it. Some researchers have found that you may even eat fewer calories overall, and end up using your body's fat reserves for energy, which can actually help you lose weight.

However, weight isn't the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less. This may be because they have lower energy levels-after eight hours or so without food, the body will have used up most of its stores of easy-to-access energy during sleep. Morning fasters are also more likely to have unhealthy, but appetite-suppressing habits, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee.

If you want to ensure that you eat a regular, nutritious breakfast, try preparing it the night before don't leave it until the morning, when your brain struggles to make good decisions.

If you do skip breakfast. . .高中英语教学交流网zshunj_cn

8. What does the underlined word “inevitable” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Unbelievable. B. Unavoidable. C. Uncomfortable. D. Unbearable.

9. Why do some breakfast-skippers lose weight?

A. They do more exercise. B. They stay active all day.

C. They reserve their body fat. D. They take in fewer calories.

10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. Aims of the studies. B. Ways of losing weight.

A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.

The wires, screens and batteries that make up our devices-not to mention the plastic, metal and other materials that package them-are filling up landfills. Some e-waste is relatively large: old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is more hidden, such as electronic single-use medical diagnostic kits, environmental sensors, and smart labels that contain one-off batteries and other equipment.

“It's these small batteries that are big problems, ” says public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who was not involved in developing the battery. "Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.

Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology （Empa） are working to address this problem. Their new paper in Scientific Reports describes a paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.

The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, -it has-a positively charged side called a. cathode （正极）, a negatively charged side called an anode （负极）, and a conductive material called an electrolyte （电解质）between the two. A traditional battery's components are packaged in plastic and. metal; in the new battery, the anode and cathode are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves （溶解）when the paper is dampened with water. The resulting saltwater solution acts as the electrolyte.

When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Add just a couple of drops of water, however, and the salt dissolves, allowing electrons to flow. Once the paper is dampened, the battery becomes active within 20 seconds. The new battery's operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained functionality and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.

12. What can we infer about small disposal batteries according to Dele Ogunseitan?

A. They are no big problems.

B. They need to be addressed.

C. They should be made larger.

D. They are environmentally friendly.

13. What's special about the new battery?

A. It has a cathode and an anode.

B. It has different key components.

C. Its cathode and anode are printed on paper.

D. Its components are packaged in plastic and metal.

14. What is used to make the new battery start to operate?

A. Salt       .B. Metal.        C. Ink.          D. Water.

15. In which section can we find the text?

A. Advances.         B. Reviews.          高中英语教学交流网zshunj_cn

C. Culture.        D. Opinion.
