【题目】Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey.

And she had many chances to begin her adventure in the Adirondack wilderness.

Anne returned to school in the fall, but she continued to spend as much time as she could in the Adirondacks. She grew to love her time alone in the mountains.

Although Anne took great pleasure in showing people the animals living in the Florida Keys and the Everglades National Park, she longed for the mountains in the northern parts of New York. Finally she decided to build a cabin near Black Bear Lake. Over the years, however, more and more tourists began hiking near her cabin. As a result, Anne decided to build another cabin deeper in the woods at Lily Pad Lake.

Anne lived in the woods for most of her life. She enjoyed living alone in the woods, and her life was far too busy for her to be lonely.

【题目】Do you want to have a nice place to spend your weekendHere are some places for you ,which are probably a mere walk away from your college.

King's Art Centre

A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint—free of charge.

The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.

The Botanic Garden

The Garden has over 8,000 plant speciesit holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above bluegreen leavesand is not one to miss.

Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipulaa plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

The Garden is also a place for wildlife enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

Byron's Pool

Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”Howeverit seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms.He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lakewhich is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countrysidethe pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust methen perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byronshe reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

1“Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ______.

A. common insects

B. impressive plants

C. rarely seen snakes

D. Wildlifeenthusiasts

2We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ______.

A. to fear pet bears

B. to like walking

C. to be a heavy drinker

D. to finish university in 1805

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

The British have many traditions but there is nothing more quintessential (典型的) than taking afternoon tea. We know the Brits have a love affair with drinking tea, 1】 more than 160 million cups drunk every day, but it was the invention of afternoon tea that turned tea-drink into 2 popular pastime.

This sociable feast involves drinking good quality tea 3 (comfort) while nibbling (小口吃) on nice sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and a selection of small cakes. And, of course, it can only happen in the afternoon! Afternoon tea, which 4 (design) as a light snack to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, dates back to the 1840s. It went on to become a 5 (fashion) social occasion for the upper classes.

Now there is a resurgence (复苏) in its 6 (popular) in the UK and it is available to anyone who can afford it. 7 it can be enjoyed at home, the best way to experience it is at a smart hotel or café. But if you’re thinking of visiting such a place 8 (enjoy) a plate of sweet and savory treats with a steaming hot brew, remember the rules you must follow to avoid 9 (ask) to leave.

Writer Henry James once noted that “there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” I’m sure once you 10 (try) it, you will agree.
