A
Family friendly walks
PADLEY GORGE
Next to Grindleford Station, eight miles north of Bakewell, lies Padley Gorge. Trails are kept as natural as possible—it's more a case of finding the gaps in the woods than following a path.
LONGSHAW ESTATE
The 1.7 mile walking route around this National Trust estate skirts the upper end of Padley Gorge. Children love the stepping stones, though Longshaw is mostly all about the giant fallen trees, left in place for little hands and feet to delightfully climb over.
HIGGER TOR
A pile of giant rocks dominates Higger Tor, the best of several lookouts along the Ringinglow Road between Hathersage and Sheffield. Walk through the nearby fields, then let the kids climb over hundreds of strangely smooth grey stones. The views out over the Hope Valley are great and impressive, and the rock pools in Burbage Brook are perfect for rowing in.
STANAGE EDGE
Popular with rock climbers, this stone cliff marks the boundary of the mysterious land of the Dark Peak cliff and the grass covered flat land of White Peak. It's a six miles circular walk from Hathersage. Alternatively, park at the Hollin Bank Car Park and climb half a mile to the top, out of breath.
CHATSWORTH ESTATE
A three mile circle from Calton Lees Car Park takes in a ruined factory, the pretty village of Edensor and views of Chatsworth House. Appreciate the stretch along the River Derwent—deer often hang out there.
1.Whom is the text intended for

Tourists to the North Antrim Coast come for its breathtaking beauty. On this stretch of coast, myth and history live side by side, and running out of things to do is nearly impossible. Giant's Causeway, Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge, the Iron Islands' filming locations...
However, when I make my way to the north of the country in October, none of them are on my mind. What brings me to the coastal town of Portrush is the wave.
Located on a peninsula, Portrush is home to three brilliant beaches and all the usual points of interest of a coastal town. But what makes the North Antrim Coast so special is the promise of the consistent waves hitting its shores. Although still relatively unknown, it's a surfer's dream destination. This is the home of the six time Irish national surfing champion, Andrew Hill, after all.
I meet Andrew at his surf shop, the most popular surf shop in Portrush. After hiring a surf board and jumping in the water at West Strand Beach, I quickly realise that my trusted wetsuit is not enough. Within just 30 minutes, I've lost all feeling in my feet and hands, and my ears are burning. I retreat to a nearby café and gulp down steaming tea before popping into Andrew's shop again. Surf boots are what I need, I decide. I leave with new determination to master the icy Atlantic waves. I'm invited to surf a different spot with Andrew and his friend that afternoon, but I decline his generous offer. My head is set on one thing only: taking revenge on the same waves that almost turned me into an ice block that very morning.
Even with boots, surfing the cold waters of Portrush leaves my feet purple. I become covered in bruises that don't register until I thaw out each night, and it takes a couple of days to fully regain feeling in my hands. But it's worth it, and I would gladly do it all over again.
4.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.The popular attractions. B.Coastal towns.

The fertile land of the Nile delta is being eroded (侵蚀) along the Mediterranean coast of Egypt at an astonishing rate, in some parts estimated at 100 metres per year. In the past, land washed away from the coastline by the currents of the Mediterranean Sea used to be replaced by sediment (沉淀物) brought down to the delta by the Nile River, but this is no longer happening.
Up to now, people have blamed this loss of delta land on the Aswan Dam in the south of Egypt, which holds back almost all of the sediment that used to flow down the river. Before the dam was built, the Nile flowed freely carrying huge quantities of sediment. But when the Aswan Dam was constructed to provide electricity and the irrigation, and to protect the huge population center of Cairo from annual flooding and drought, most of the sediment with its natural fertilizer accumulated above the dam in the southern upstream half of Lake Nasser, instead of passing down to the delta.
Now, however, there turns out to be more to the story. It appears that the sediment free water picks up sand as it erodes the river bed and banks on the 800 kilometre trip to Cairo. Jean Daniel Stanley of the Smithsonian Institute noticed that water samples taken in Cairo indicated that the river sometimes carries more than 850 grams of sediment per cubic metre of water—almost half of what it carried before the dam was built.
International environmental organizations are beginning to pay closer attention to the region, partly because of the problems of erosion and pollution of the Nile Delta, but mainly because they fear the impact this situation could have on the whole Mediterranean coastal ecosystem.
But there are no easy solutions. In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make artificial floods to flush out the delta waterways, in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dam. He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination (脱盐) may have to be used to increase the amount of water available.
8.What stopped the sediment coming down to the delta
A.The Mediterranean Sea. B.The Nile River.
C.The Aswan Dam. D.Lake Nasser.
9.Why was the Aswan Dam built
A.To flush out the river bed.
B.To offer electricity and protection.
C.To make the water in the Nile River clean.
D.To keep the soil in the region nearby nutrient rich.
10.What can we infer from the third paragraph
A.There is no need to worry about the delta.
B.The methods of measurement need improving.
C.Whether the situation is good or not remains to be seen.
D.The dam's consequences are beyond people's expectation.
11.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Difficulties to be settled.
B.Rewards for the challenge.
C.Severe influence of the situation.
D.Possible solutions to the problem.

When you think of Chinese food in the U.S., fried rice, or General Tso's chicken may first come to mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors' palates (味觉). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it's unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, a co curator (联合策展人) of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation. That's why the curators say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the U.S., you'll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants' lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That's the one place which you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains co curator Audra Ang.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family's meals when she was a child. “I still make the beef with stir fried celery my father used to cook,” she says. And it's the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.
12.What is the new museum exhibition mainly about
A.Stories of Chinese food and cooks.
B.Exploration of famous restaurants.
C.History of Chinese immigration.
D.Cuisine of different countries.
13.Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants' lives
A.It provides a wealthy life.
B.It helps them to accept new cultures.
C.It brings a sense of belonging.
D.It enables them to forget the past.
14.What can we learn about Ni Biying from Paragraph 4
A.She worked in a Chinese restaurant.
B.She made most meals as a child.
C.She learned cooking from her father.
D.She lives with a big family.
15.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales
B.Home Cooking Brings More to the Table
C.Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the U.S.
D.Cuisine Gains New Variations

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A year ago, I had one of the most important interviews of my life. 16 I could say what I thought the interviewers wanted to hear. I'm so good at multitasking that I would be able to shoulder various responsibilities. That might be true, yet it seemed to be unreal. The more honest answer was that I knew it would be difficult, but I wanted to try anyway. 17
This tough situation led me to hesitate during the interview. It also recalled my past experience of being interviewed when an interviewer asked me to give an example of a time when I had been caring. The answer that came to mind was that I volunteered at a nursing home and felt honored to sit with the patients and listen to their stories. But I didn't think that was dramatic enough to impress the interviewers. So, instead, I told them when one of the residents threw up, I cleaned it up. 18 That wasn't caring and it suggested that my best quality was being skillful at using a mop (拖把).
Back to my most recent interview and the question about how to shoulder multiple responsibilities of the role. 19 I had learned the significance of being true to myself. So I answered simply,“With difficulty.” To my relief, the review members nodded knowingly and smiled. This exam can test my honesty and I can come up with appropriate answers.
I've come to realize that interviews don't have “right” or “wrong” answers. I still see them as exams, but they're not testing my ability to copy somebody else's answers. Actually, the exam is about something I am well familiar with:me. 20
A.I hesitated—but not for long.
B.I immediately felt embarrassed.
C.I wasn't sure of which answer to give.
D.Never give the interviewers wrong answers.
E.It seemed the interviewers were quite satisfied.
F.It's not about “right” answers but about being yourself.
G.At the end, I was asked how to balance the different parts of the role.

One morning on my way to school, I noticed an elderly woman dressed in a yellow vest (马甲) carrying a garbage bag and one of those rubbish claws (爪形夹具). “What's that lady doing?” I asked Mum. “Vest Lady. She just picks up rubbish around here for fun,” Mum said. “Why would someone think picking up rubbish looking like a construction worker is fun?” I puzzled.
For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady—rain or shine—on my way to school. I had thought she was crazy about picking up rubbish. Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her. Later, I moved to high school. The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed. Then I'd think, “Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish People are so inconsiderate!” However, shortly after, I realized picking up rubbish was not someone else's problem.
Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty. I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our school. Strange as it might sound, picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me! In fact, I was so determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw, reusable gloves and a reflective safety yellow vest with my own name on it.
During my first attempt in my stylish equipment, I met with unfriendly looks from others as if I were a criminal doing community service. One day, I had an epiphany (顿悟):“I'm acting just like the Vest Lady!”
But there was too much rubbish around, cigarette ends littered about, cans rolling on the street, pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic...I alone was too weak! How would I get more volunteers involved in rubbish removal A smart idea flashed into my mind.

Good morning, my dear classmates! English has been our weakness and reading is the solution.
Reading is the exercise for the mind, putting you in a world of English (非谓语动词短语)where language parts, such as words and grammar will swim into your mind naturally (定语从句). You'll be amazed to find your English gradually improved. To gain more from reading, you can change your reading speed. Not only can you increase the speed to save time (倒装结构), but also you can decrease it to appreciate the contents.
Let's challenge ourselves by stepping out of our comfort zones and dive into the wonderland of English novels.

Then it occurred to Aram that he could ask Mrs. Rossi to teach him. “Yes, Mrs. Rossi,” Aram said. “I still remember the smell of the bread and cakes from your bakery when I was a child. It never failed to drive the misery away. How I wish I could be a baker like you!” Mrs. Rossi squeezed out a smile(挤出一个微笑), “But I am old now and my fingers are not so flexible.” “What do you think of my fingers Do you think they are fit for baking?” Aram replied carefully in a very low voice. “Yes, I notice you have the perfect fingers like a baker.” “Then, would you please let me be your hands and bake again?” begged Aram in great expectation.
Mrs. Rossi finally said, “Let's buy the ingredients first.” Seeing the ingredients(现在分词短语充当伴随状语), Mrs. Rossi refreshed herself, her eyes glittering with light (独立主格结构). Under the guidance of Mrs. Rossi, they made a fresh start. Every day, Mrs. Rossi instructed Aram in the features of each ingredient and how they work together to make the best bread and cakes. Aram buried himself in the bakery and day by day, his skills gradually improved. Two years later, Aram and Rossi's Bakery again had crowds of people lining up around the corner (现在分词短语充当定语).

A year ago, I had one of the most important interviews of my life. 16 I could say what I thought the interviewers wanted to hear. I'm so good at multitasking that I would be able to shoulder various responsibilities. That might be true, yet it seemed to be unreal. The more honest answer was that I knew it would be difficult, but I wanted to try anyway. 17
This tough situation led me to hesitate during the interview. It also recalled my past experience of being interviewed when an interviewer asked me to give an example of a time when I had been caring. The answer that came to mind was that I volunteered at a nursing home and felt honored to sit with the patients and listen to their stories. But I didn't think that was dramatic enough to impress the interviewers. So, instead, I told them when one of the residents threw up, I cleaned it up. 18 That wasn't caring and it suggested that my best quality was being skillful at using a mop (拖把).
Back to my most recent interview and the question about how to shoulder multiple responsibilities of the role. 19 I had learned the significance of being true to myself. So I answered simply,“With difficulty.” To my relief, the review members nodded knowingly and smiled. This exam can test my honesty and I can come up with appropriate answers.
I've come to realize that interviews don't have “right” or “wrong” answers. I still see them as exams, but they're not testing my ability to copy somebody else's answers. Actually, the exam is about something I am well familiar with:me. 20
A.I hesitated—but not for long.
B.I immediately felt embarrassed.
C.I wasn't sure of which answer to give.
D.Never give the interviewers wrong answers.
E.It seemed the interviewers were quite satisfied.
F.It's not about “right” answers but about being yourself.
G.At the end, I was asked how to balance the different parts of the role.

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。
One morning on my way to school, I noticed an elderly woman dressed in a yellow vest (马甲) carrying a garbage bag and one of those rubbish claws (爪形夹具). “What's that lady doing?” I asked Mum. “Vest Lady. She just picks up rubbish around here for fun,” Mum said. “Why would someone think picking up rubbish looking like a construction worker is fun?” I puzzled.
For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady—rain or shine—on my way to school. I had thought she was crazy about picking up rubbish. Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her. Later, I moved to high school. The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed. Then I'd think, “Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish People are so inconsiderate!” However, shortly after, I realized picking up rubbish was not someone else's problem.
Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty. I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our school. Strange as it might sound, picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me! In fact, I was so determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw, reusable gloves and a reflective safety yellow vest with my own name on it.
During my first attempt in my stylish equipment, I met with unfriendly looks from others as if I were a criminal doing community service. One day, I had an epiphany (顿悟):“I'm acting just like the Vest Lady!”
But there was too much rubbish around, cigarette ends littered about, cans rolling on the street, pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic...I alone was too weak! How would I get more volunteers involved in rubbish removal A smart idea flashed into my mind.

Good morning, my dear classmates! English has been our weakness and reading is the solution.
Reading is the exercise for the mind, putting you in a world of English (非谓语动词短语)where language parts, such as words and grammar will swim into your mind naturally (定语从句). You'll be amazed to find your English gradually improved. To gain more from reading, you can change your reading speed. Not only can you increase the speed to save time (倒装结构), but also you can decrease it to appreciate the contents.
Let's challenge ourselves by stepping out of our comfort zones and dive into the wonderland of English novels.

Then it occurred to Aram that he could ask Mrs. Rossi to teach him. “Yes, Mrs. Rossi,” Aram said. “I still remember the smell of the bread and cakes from your bakery when I was a child. It never failed to drive the misery away. How I wish I could be a baker like you!” Mrs. Rossi squeezed out a smile(挤出一个微笑), “But I am old now and my fingers are not so flexible.” “What do you think of my fingers Do you think they are fit for baking?” Aram replied carefully in a very low voice. “Yes, I notice you have the perfect fingers like a baker.” “Then, would you please let me be your hands and bake again?” begged Aram in great expectation.
Mrs. Rossi finally said, “Let's buy the ingredients first.” Seeing the ingredients(现在分词短语充当伴随状语), Mrs. Rossi refreshed herself, her eyes glittering with light (独立主格结构). Under the guidance of Mrs. Rossi, they made a fresh start. Every day, Mrs. Rossi instructed Aram in the features of each ingredient and how they work together to make the best bread and cakes. Aram buried himself in the bakery and day by day, his skills gradually improved. Two years later, Aram and Rossi's Bakery again had crowds of people lining up around the corner (现在分词短语充当定语).
