22、   In a hot summer, there’s no better place than a UK beach—these shores offer walks and wildlife, picnics and rockpools.

Runswick Bay, North Yorkshir

It is a popular destination for rock poolers, walkers and hunters. Many of the homes are now holiday accommodations, linked by paths and walkways rather than streets. The Royal Hotel, at the heart of the village, offers homemade cakes and coffee alongside a simple but tasty bar menu and local Black Sheep bitter on draft.

Stay in Castle House (sleeps six, three nights from £500) at the top of the village; has sweeping views of the bay from a comfortable window seat.

South Shore, Brownsea Island, Dorset

Reached by ferry from the moneyed shores of Sandbanks, Brownsea Island is a pocket of safe wilderness in Poole harbour. Famous for its red squirrel population and as the site of Baden-Powell’s first Scout camp, its mixture of woodland, wildland, and ponds suits a day of exploration and adventure. Push yourself into the sandy banks and enjoy views across the harbour in the company of various sea birds.

Stay in National Trust-owned Custom House on the seaport (sleeps four, three nights from £622); offers a real Brownsea experience.

Kingsgate Bay, Broadstairs, Kent

The lack of a convenient car park means that Kingsgate Bay, between Margate and Broadstairs, is quieter than other beaches on the Thanet coast. A short walk from the car park at neighboring Joss Bay (popular with surfers), however, will take you to this sheltered sandy bay with its sea caves. It is also a safe place to swim and canoe.

Stay in the Botany Bay Hotel (family rooms from £80 B&B); has some dog-friendly rooms.

23、A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life; needed, at least one time, to become more fully adult. But no question, the experience can be painful, even destructive.

But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy(同理心) and the desire to connect with others — both roads through the prison of heartache and despair.

Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.

A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy, compassion(同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from the prison with yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.

Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” enhanced their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously embraced their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.

These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally — accepting reality as it is — activates healing and growth beyond it. In short, acknowledging your full experience arouses hope — another seeming paradox. For example, research from Cornell University, described here and published in Psychological Science, found that embracing discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, create motivation to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.

【1】Which is NOT the benefit of listening to sad music?

A．Making you full of sadness.

B．Activating your feelings of empathy.

C．Healing your broken heart.

D．Giving you a desire to connect with others

【2】How does the author mainly develop this passage?

D．By quoting a famous saying.

【3】Who are most likely to be helped by the “beautiful but sad” music?

A．People who have a broken heart.

B．People who are suffering great pain.

C．People who accept their sadness.

D．People who like beautiful music.

【4】What could be the best title for the passage?

A．Listening to Music Brightening Your Life

B．Listening to Sad Music Healing Your Broken Heart

C．The Power and Beauty of Sad Music

D．A Study on Listening to Sad Music

24、   The United States Department of Agriculture has a programme called Wildlife Services. Its job is to help protect agriculture and other resources from threats and damage by wildlife. Often that means helping farmers deal with unwelcome visitors. This organization has experts from different fields and it has set up thousands of inquiry agencies all over the country where farmers can explain their difficulty and get practical help.

One example from Wildlife Services of its work involved a farmer in Washington State, in the Pacific Northwest. Several years ago, thousands of Canada geese landed on his fields. The geese began to eat his carrot crop. Biologists from the programme suggested that the farmer use noise-making devices and other measures to scare the large birds away, These efforts apparently succeeded, which made the farmer quite happy.

Wildlife Services also has a livestock（牲畜）protection programme. The programme just offers suggestions to keep those unwelcome visitors away instead of killing them. Experts suggest providing secure shelter for chickens, sheep and other animals that could be attacked. They also suggest using lights above places where animals are kept. And they advise people who see coyotes around their property to chase them away by shouting, making loud noises or throwing rocks. For home gardeners. a two-metre fence might help keep out deer. To keep out rabbits, a wire fence has to be only about a half-metre high. It should extend fifteen centimetres underground to keep rabbits from digging under it. If snakes are a problem, remove dead trees and cut high grass to destroy their hiding places. And to protect livestock, consider using guard animals such as dogs and donkeys, which are very effective. Due to its effective work, ever since the Wildlife Services was started, it has been well received by farmers all over the States and neighbouring countries such as Canada and Mexico.

【1】The underlined phrase "unwelcome visitors" in the first paragraph refers to “   ”.

A.animals that attack the farmers

B.people who don't care about wildlife

C.animals that do harm to the crops or livestock

D.people who pollute the environment of the farms

【2】It can be inferred from the second paragraph that   .

A.the farmer didn't have a gun to kill those Canada geese

B.Wildlife Services involves some biologists in its group

C.the carrot crop was eaten up by the Canada geese

D.the farmers like to eat Canada geese very much

【3】What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

26、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。

After spending Thanksgiving on Uncle Howard’s farm, he gave us two turkey eggs. My younger brother Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped his egg on the way home. Dad put the eggs under an old hen in our backyard. Every day Chris and I would check to see if they’d hatched yet. 26 days later, two little creatures waddled (摇摇摆摆地走) behind the hen. As they got older, one was dead. We named the other Timothy.

Timothy liked to wander in the woods and find tasty berries and weed seeds. Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant. One day, Dad gave Chris and me instructions. “I want you to start giving him corn along with his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice fat bird for Thanksgiving.” After Dad walked away, Chris’s face began to pucker, just as he did before he started to cry.

“Don’t worry, Chris,” I said comfortingly. “We’ll save Timothy, somehow.”

“Why don’t we give him away?” Chris suggested.

“No.” I said. “If we do, he’ll just end up on someone else’s Thanksgiving table.” Suddenly I had an idea. “Hey, Chris, you know that small cave in the woods?” Chris nodded. “We can take Timothy there. We’ll cover the entrance with a wire net and hide him till Thanksgiving is over.” “Yeah!” We were so excited that we gave each other high-fives. We took Timothy out of his cage and left him in the cave with water and plenty of food. We piled branches over the opening to hide the entrance.

One day Dad sent us out to look for him. Both of us felt guilty, but we wanted to save Timothy’s life, so we kept quiet. Finally, Dad decided that a fox must have gotten him. That year Uncle Howard provided a turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner. The next day a big snowstorm hit. It was days before we could get out and see Timothy. When we got to the cave, we saw something had happened.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The wire net was pulled away from the entrance, and Timothy was gone.
