Hipster Greenport: 4 places to eat, shop and visit
Greenport may date back to the 1630s, but it’s feeling pretty of-the-moment right now.
Here are four places that embody the old-meets-new energy of the village:
Claudio’s
If you’ve been to Greenport, you can’t miss Claudio’s — it’s where generations of Long
Islanders have made a tradition of eating, whether inside the main restaurant or at the floating
dock-bar. The new owners have added fresh elements: Baccano Pizza by Nino, which offers a
variety of slices and pies until as late as 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays — is right by the
dock entrance.
Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market
It’s little spots like this that tell the current Greenport story. There’s no sign or
advertising for this tiny house changed from the cabin of an old ship that’s practically hidden
down Bootlegger’s Alley near Mitchell Park. But there they are — streams of people who
come to enjoy the fresh oysters while drinking local craft beer, with a waterside view.
The Times Vintage
Nostalgia (怀旧) for bygone times runs high in this 1909 building, which once served
as the base for the Suffolk Times newspaper. These days, this well-designed shop sells vinyl
records (黑胶唱片) and loads of old-fashioned clothing and home decoration items including
mid-century highball sets.
Greenport Fire
Heat comes in many forms and several are sold here — hot sauces, cigars and
candles. Consult the chalkboard for the current sauce offerings or browse cigars such as
a hand-rolled Honduran Leaf by Oscar or the Gurkha Cellar Reserve made with 18-year-aged
tobacco.
21. What’s special about Greenport?
A. It is a place full of energy. B. It is a famous port in the world.
C. It is a combination of new and old. D. It is a popular place of interest.
22. What can you do in The Times Vintage?
A. You can enjoy delicious oysters. B. You can buy some old things.
C. You can find hand-rolled cigars. D. You can have Baccano Pizza.
23. If you are a smoker, you may be interested in _________.
A. Claudio’s B. Little Creek Oyster
C. Greenport Fire D. The Times Vintage
B
Recently, as the British doctor Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester,
he found himself becoming steadily angry. A woman had picked up her phone and begun a
loud conversation, which would last an unbelievable hour. Furious, Winston began to tweet
about the woman. He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.
When the train arrived at its destination, Winston rushed out. He’d had enough of the
woman’s rudeness. But the press were now waiting for her on the platform. And when they
showed her Winston’s messages, she used just one word to describe Winston’s actions: rude.
Winston’s tale is something of a microcosm(缩影) of our age of increasing rudeness,
fueled by social media. What can we do to fix this?
Studies have shown that rudeness spreads quickly, almost like the common cold. Just
witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. The only
way to avoid it is to deal with it face to face. We must say, “Just stop.” For Winston, that
would have meant approaching the woman, telling her that her conversation was frustrating
other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another
time.
The rage and injustice we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do odd
things. In my own research, surveying 2,000 adults, I discovered that the acts of revenge
people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight
on the woman’s behavior — but from afar, in a way that shamed her.
We must instead combat rudeness head on. When we see it occur in a store, we must step
up and say something. If it happens to a colleague, we must point it out. We must defend
strangers in the same way we’d defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by
handling it without a trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude
people can see their actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end that
strain themselves. As this tide of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility.
24. What can you learn about Robert Winston from the passage?
A. He knows how to speak to rude people.
B. He behaved improperly and spoke loudly on the train.
C. He lost his temper due to other people’s rudeness.
D. He reacted to a woman’s rude behavior wrongly.
25. What does “fueled by social media” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Rude behavior is common on social media.
B. Rudeness can be avoided through social media.
C. People can easily get away through social media.
D. Social media may spread and cause rudeness.
26. According to the writer, how should you respond when you meet rude people?
A. Record them and post it on the Internet.
B. Point it out in a polite and skillful way.
C. Do nothing but wait for other people to fix it.
D. Pay them back by doing equally disturbing things. 第 5 页, 共 12 页 第 6 页, 共 12 页

It was the beginning of 2011. I had just finished filming the first season of Game of
Thrones(《权利的游戏》). With almost no professional experience, I had been given the
role of Daenerys Targaryen. The show was so successful that young girls would dress
themselves up as Daenerys for Halloween.
And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the
creators had put in me, I worked much harder.
On the morning of February 11, 2011, I was getting dressed in a gym when I started to
feel a bad headache. I was so exhausted that I could barely put on my sneakers. I tried to
ignore the pain, but I couldn’t. I reached the toilet and sank to my knees. A woman came to
help me. Then everything became unclear. I only remember the sound of an ambulance.
That operation lasted three hours. When I woke, the pain was unbearable. After four days,
they moved me out of the I.C.U. (重症监护室). But one day when a nurse asked me, as part
of a series of cognitive (认知的) exercises, “ What’s your name?”, I couldn’t remember my
name and I felt terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn’t recall
my name.
The phenomenon is called aphasia. Then I was sent back to the I.C.U. and, after about a
week, I was able to speak and know my name. And I was also aware that there were people in
the beds around me who didn’t make it out of the I.C.U. I was continually reminded of just
how fortunate I was.
I rarely gave a thought to my health. Nearly all I thought about was acting. I thought of
myself as healthy. Once in a while, I would get dizzy. When I was fourteen, I had a migraine
(偏头痛) that kept me in bed for a couple of days. But it all seemed manageable — part of the
stress of being an actor. Now I think I might have been experiencing warning signs of what
was to come.
Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of Thrones. And I’m so
happy to be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next.
28. The author felt terrified after acting in the first season of Game of Thrones because _____.
① she felt nervous about the public attention
② she had been criticized for her lack of experience
③ she was experiencing some warning signs of a serious illness
④ she wasn’t sure if she had performed well in Season 1
A. ①④ B. ②③ C. ①② D. ③④
29. When did the author lose consciousness?
A. After she took an operation.
B. After a woman came to her rescue in a gym.
C. When trying to ignore a headache while working out.
D. When knowing many patients wouldn’t survive the illness.
30. A patient who is suffering from aphasia ______.
A. cannot move his or her body
B. will fall into serious depression
C. must undergo brain surgery at once
D. is not able to remember things from the past
31. What can you infer form the end of the passage?
A. The author feels very lucky to be an actress.
B. The author is quite confident about her role.
C. The author can’t go on acting due to the illness.
D. The author will pay more attention to her health.
D
Every morning, Ben Mumford starts his school day with math. At the age of ten, he is
already working at GCSE level, but he does not always bother to get out of his pajamas (睡衣
裤) in time for the class. He reads more books than most of his friends, studies science on the
beach, and recently built a go-kart (卡丁车) in a technology lesson. Ben is happy and fulfilled,
all, his mother believes, thanks to homeschooling.
Homeschooling is not what it used to be. What emerged in the 1970s as a way for
Catholic (信天主教的) parents to infuse (灌输) religion into their kids’ education is now
probably the fastest-growing form of education in the U.K. The number of homeschooled
children has risen by about 40 percent over three years. Here are a handful of reasons why
homeschooling makes sense in the 21st century.
Contrary to the name, homeschooling takes place in an actual home only a small part of
time. A great deal of instruction happens in libraries, museums and community colleges.
These experiences have the effect of helping kids mature much more quickly and developing a
trait of open-mindedness.
The key idea of homeschooling is that kids need to learn at the speed, and in the style,
most appropriate for them. Without formal curriculum to guide their education,
homeschoolers get the chance to explore a range of topics that might not be normally offered
until high school or college. They can study psychology in the fourth grade, or finance in the
eighth grade.
The most common misunderstanding about homeschoolers is that they lack social skills.
However, social media makes it convenient for homeschoolers of today to have just as much
opportunity to make friends as kids studying in traditional schools. Meanwhile, they do not

need to deal with the potential problems of being around kids in a school environment,
including bullying, which might result in anxiety and depression.
For most people, school is really good, and it works for them because they learn in the
way that school teaches. However, there are so many different ways of learning and
processing (处理) information and knowledge. It does not necessarily work for everyone.
32. What is the attitude of Ben’s mother towards homeschooling?
A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
33. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Homeschoolers grow up more quickly.
B. Homeschoolers have trouble making friends.
C. Homeschooled children learn in the way they like.
D. Homeschooled children just stay at home and get knowledge.
34. The underline word “trait” most probably means ______.
A. ability B. disadvantage C. thought D. characteristic
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Homeschooling is on the rise. B. Homeschooling is not for everyone.
C. Homeschoolers can learn freely. D. Homeschoolers can make more friends.

This summer, when earthquakes rocked Southern California on back-to-back days, it was
a close-to-home reminder that we may one day experience the “Big One,” a quake with the
power to kill and destroy. A few people, however, saw something else: a photo opportunity.
Tourists poured to a large crack in a highway to see evidence of the damage for themselves
and, of course, take a quick selfie.
36 It feeds so many of the weakest parts of ourselves: our born attraction to
images of human faces instead of landscapes or objects, our interest in capturing memories,
and yes, our need for social approval. Yet, it is easy to feel uncomfortable with selfies and
even laugh at them, especially when they are risky or in bad taste. So why do we take selfies?
Selfies have become so common that my grandma does them when we get together.
37 Instead, selfies are a way for us to connect and communicate, and feel a more personal
connection with people all around the world.
In one example, researchers developed a #ScientistsWhoSelfie campaign studying how
scientists posting photos of themselves with their work on social media influenced public
opinion of the profession. 38 “Those scientists in general were described as warmer,
but no less competent,” said Paige Jarreau, the lead author on the study.
While some scientists refused at first, fearing that their colleagues would consider them
self-centered or think they take their work less seriously, those concerns disappeared once
researchers explained that it could help build public trust. “This is not just me taking a
duck-faced ( 嘟嘟嘴) selfie or trying to look cute on camera,” said Dr Jarreau. “This is me
being able to better tell the story about my science in a way that helps people trust me.”
39 Dr Jarreau recalled a road trip she made to national parks, where she witnessed
so many people taking selfies, she began taking photos of the selfie-takers themselves. “Ask
yourself: Why are you posting that picture?” she said. “If there was a platform that didn’t
enable likes, would you post it?” After all, there are other ways to develop a social connection.
You could send the photo to a private group. You could put it in a frame at home. You could
be mindful in the moment by not taking it at all. 40
A. But if you do, watch your step.
B. There is no denying the draw of the selfie.
C. With each like, we feel better about ourselves.
D. The thought that selfie is the symbol of self-love is outdated.
E. However, most of us post mechanically, even madly, in our daily lives.
F. After all, people have been making self-portraits for long, in remarkably similar ways.
G. They found that photos with human faces helped improve impressions in a field that is
often subject to negative stereotypes.

There will be a non-profit campaign focusing on garbage classification
launched in the garden of our community from 9 to 11 this Sunday morning. Now
some foreign volunteers are terribly wanted.
On that day what volunteers need to do is hand out the leaflets prepared in
advance to the inhabitants in the neighborhood, spreading some relevant
knowledge. What’s more, volunteers are expected to explain to those, especially
foreigners, who have puzzles on how to classify different wastes in our life. And
some interesting games may make the atmosphere more lively.
Any foreign friend who has interest in this meaningful activity is welcome to
sign up in the office of our community before Thursday. Looking forward to your
taking part!
