Arvon Foundation: Shropshire, West
Yorkshire. Devon
Across courses that cover fiction, non-fiction,
poetry, screenwriting and radio drama, Arvon offers
new and developing writers a beautiful escape to
-5-
learn their craft. The organisation was set up in 1968 by poets John Moat and John Fairfax and
offers five-day residential retreats at three atmospheric English centres: Ted Hughes' former
home Lumb Bank, near Hebden Bridge; Totleigh Barton in Devon and The Hurst, in
Shropshire - the former home of playwright John Osborne. The focus of the retreats is on
improving skills, so accommodation (some shared) is simple rather than plush and there is no
TV - or Wi-Fi. Morning workshop sessions with tutors provide the chance to learn and
practise, while afternoons mean free time for writing, reading or walks in the countryside.
There is an appearance from a guest writer during the week for added inspiration, along
with tutorials to get feedback on work. Arvon is developing a new retreat centre at The Hurst
– in addition to the existing centre - specifically for writers coming on their own for writing
time; it is set to open in 2021。
Courses usually run Mon-Sat, single rooms £725, shared room £680. Grants are available
for those on low incomes to help with course fees. 020 7324 2554, arvon.org
56. According to the advertisement, Arvon
A. offers writers an escape from their work stress
B. currently has four atmospheric English centres
C. helps improve the writing skills of potential writers
D. is a non- profit organization founded by two poets
57. Participants of the five-day retreats can
A. enjoy free wi-fi access to the internet
B. enjoy afternoon tea with their partners
C. get tutored on their work from a guest writer
D. get a discount on accommodation and tuition
B
Understanding exactly how birds fly has always been tricky, because individual wings are
made up of multiple feathers. These feathers are always interacting with each other, allowing
the bird's wings to morph continuously mid- flight.
To learn more, David Lentink at Stanford University in California and his colleagues first
looked at the wing of a pigeon cadaver. Each wing had 40 feathers, 20 on the upper side, and
20 on the lower.
“We attached a marker onto each individual wing and we were able to carefully measure
the relationship between feather motion and bone motion," says Lentink.“We then just
moved the wing, in and out."
They found that the wrist angle determined the angles of all the flight feathers at any one
time, meaning that the birds can change the shape of their wings without having to control
each individua! feather. This reduces the number of variables - or degrees of freedom -
required to model the wings.
“We let go of the idea that you have to control every degree of freedom and 1 think
future aircraft will benefit from this finding. Future airplanes may not flap their wings, but 1
think they will change shape," says Lentink.
The team put this new finding to use in the construction of PigeonBot, intended to
-6-
recreate pigeon flight. It is powered by a propeller and has wrist and feather joints in each
wing that can be controlled remotely. Its average speed is about 40 kilometres per hour, which
is a bit slower than the average pigeon.
Lentink and his colleagues also found that this type of flight was possible only because of
certain molecules embedded throughout the feathers. These molecules, which are just 10
micrometers across, allow feathers to move away from each other while ensuring they don't
get too far apart. This in turn : reduces the level of individual feather control required for
accurate flight.
PigeonBot also uses real pigeon feathers, because no synthetic material has this property.
“Feathers also have these unique properties, they have a lightness, a firmness to carry the
aerodynamic load, and they' 're easy to repair," says Lentink.
58. What is the purpose of David's study?
A. To determine the angle of the flight feathers.
B. To further study how feathers function in fight.
C. To find if birds can change the shape of their wings.
D. To measure the relationship between feather motion and bone motion.
59. The team build PigeonBot in order to
A. imitate pigeons' fight B. control flight speed
C. help boos construction D. develop the remote control system
60. Real feathers have the following properties except that they are
A. good-looking B. light in weight
C. strong enough D. easy to repair
C
As a society, our books, movies and our national sympathies seem to admire those
individuals who are risk takers and live the adventurous life- those who risk all for fame and
fortune. This makes for very interesting but not necessarily truthful storytelling.
For those people who succeed, risk is indeed a fascinating life choice, but not all risk
takers succeed either financially or personally, and that leaves the rest of us with the necessity
of trying to discover alternate choices about how we wish to conduct our lives.
One of these possible alternate choices is to choose a life dedicated to the pursuit of
personal responsibility. This potential choice may perhaps in the long run be an even more
satisfying life choice than many other possibilities.
Our first commitment to personal responsibility must of course begin with a lifelong
commitment to ourselves and our needs- our health needs, our education needs, caring about
our appearance, caring about our personal environment and our happiness, so that we can
ultimately enhance our self- esteem and become strong and secure individuals.
Next our ongoing commitment should be to the important others in our lives to help
them to achieve their own potential so that they too will be able to live more fulfilled lives.
When we have made a determined effort to achieve our first two goals, then our next
step is a dedicated, personal commitment to the society and the world in which we live to try
to help make a better and safer environment for all, so that someday when we look back at the
-7-
accomplishments of our lives, we can feel a sense of pride that because of our efforts we have
succeeded in some small way t make the world a more human and humane home for all.
This life path choice is not entirely risk free. Life has no completely risk free options, but
it is certainly a safer and more secure choice for a life well lived, because each succeeding step
is given careful thought and each potential risk is assessed carefully. This life path choice can
almost certainly lead to a happier life with better relationships and a more loving and certain
future for ourselves, our loved ones and for the entire world.
61. What is the author's attitude towards risk-taking?
A. Risk takers live adventurous lives.
B. Risk-taking does not necessarily pay off.
C. risk-taking brings about fame and fortune.
D. Risk-taking stories are interesting and truthful.
62. Which of the following does not apply to personal responsibility?
A. Eating fast food. B. Attending school.
C. Keeping in shape. D. Being physically fit.
63. The author develops his opinion by
A. presenting facts B. making contrasts
C. giving examples D. employing reasoning
64. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Our Commitment B. Risk-taking
C. Personal Responsibility D. Alternate Choices
D
In addition to the philanthropy (慈善事业) made possible by their wealth, the Browns
enjoyed another new pursuit, travel. In 1902 Margaret and J.J. started on a world tour that
took them through Ireland, France, Russia, India and Japan, among other places. Both Browns
enjoyed the trip immensely, with JJ. seriously considering retiring to Ireland and Margaret
writing travel articles detailing her observations of India's caste (社会等级) system for the
Denver papers.
While the trip appeared to bridge the distance between the pair for some years, in 1909,
after 23 years of marriage, the Browns quietly signed a separation agreement. According to the
agreement, Margaret received a cash settlement and maintained possession of the house on
Pennsylvania Street. She also received S700 a month allowing her to continue her travels and
philanthropic activities. The two never divorced, but the separation lasted until JJ.'s death in
1922.
Now more independent than ever, Margaret departed on a trip to Egypt, Rome and Paris
with her daughter Helen, and friends JJ. and Madeleine Astor, in 1912. However, news of her
ill grandson hastened (加快) Margaret's return, and she booked passage on the first available
ship, the Titanic.
To technology-obsessed Americans, the Titanic represented new heights in innovation
and achievement. The ship was a wonder of modern science built by British White Star Lines
at a cost of $10 million. The boat weighed 46,000 tons and was 882.5 feet long. The ship's
-8-
builders boasted that the ship was “practically unsinkable.'
Although the ship's Captain and crew received numerous warnings of ice in the area
during their passage, the Titanic charged ahead. Shortly before midnight on April 14th the
Titanic struck ice.
Margaret described her experience in the Newport Herald, “I stretched on the brass bed,
at the side of which was a lamp. So completely absorbed in my reading I gave little thought to
the crash that struck at my window overhead and threw me to the floor.”
After the crash, Margaret heard increasing confusion in the hall causing her to investigate
further.“I again looked out and saw a man whose face was blanched (变白), wearing the look
of a haunted creature. He was gasping (喘气) for breath and in a whisper he gasped, ‘get
your life saver’. “After helping fellow passengers she was taken a hold of and with the
words “you are going too “was dropped four feet into the lowering lifeboat #6.
Lifeboat #6 was equipped to hold 65 passengers. However, it pushed off from Titanic
with 21 women, 2 men and a twelve-year-old boy on board. The women in the lifeboat rowed
for hours.
At 4:30 a.m. Margaret saw a flash of light. It was from the approaching ship Carpathia,
which was the first to answer the distress call. After some difficulty, lifeboat #6 pulled up
along side of the Carpathia, and the occupants were pulled aboard one at a time.
Margaret, though sore, tired and cold, began to take action. Her knowledge of foreign
languages enabled her to comfort survivors who spoke little English. She also searched the
ship to find extra blankets and supplies to distribute to women who were sleeping in the
dining room and corridors. Margaret realized that many women had lost everything - husbands,
children, clothes, money and valuables—and needed to start a life in a new country. She rallied
(使...振作) the first class passengers to donate money to help less fortunate passengers. Before
the Carpathia reached New York $ 10,000 had been raised.
Legend claims that Margaret, stepping off the Carpathia onto the safe shore of New York,
exclaimed (惊呼),“Typical Brown luck. I'm unsinkable!" But in reality the name apparently
started with none other than Polly Pry (a Denver gossip columnist). The Newport Herald
reported that Mrs. Brown's heroic story- which, it smugly (自鸣得意地) noted, it had been
the first to publish- -had become a “genuine thriller" in newspapers across the country.
65. What can we learn about the Browns?
A. They shared common interests.
B. They spent most time on charity.
C. They divorced when the trip ended.
D. They both settled down in Ireland.
66. Why was Margaret more independent than ever?
A. She made a big fortune by writing travel articles.
B. She was deserted by her husband and close friends.
C. She achieved greater career success than her husband.
D. She freed herself from the trap of an unhappy marriage.
67. Why was the Titanic considered “practically unsinkable"?
-9-
A. It was controlled by best Captain and crew.
B. It was technologically advanced at that time.
C. It was the largest and heaviest ship in the world.
D. It was co-built by British and American engineers.
68. The crash wouldn't have happened if.
A. there had been enough warning of ice
B. people had not been overconfident
C. the building of the ship had cost more
D. Margaret hadn't distract her attention
69. How did Margaret have a narrow escape?
A. By investigating more about the crash.
B. By finding life savers for other passengers.
C. By begging the gasping man for an escape.
D. By getting a chance in a million to escape.
70. What was the most touching part of Mrs. Brown's heroic story?
A. She was desperate to row the lifeboat for hours.
B. She spared no effort to look after other survivors.
C. She gave herself typical Brown luck and escaped.
D. She turned her heroic story into a genuine thriller.

In the United States, more than 90 percent of 2-year-olds already have an online presence.
More than 80 percent of babies younger than that are already on social media, too.
Sometime past toddlerhood (学步期),these kids might become aware that their online
identities are already being shaped in some way, and usually by their parents. Given the
searchable, shareable, long-lasting nature of what's published on the web, this double role of
parent and publisher raises a host of questions about privacy, consent, and the parent child
relationship more broadly.
It's typical for adults to mention a child's name and birthdate in birth announcements and
other posts on sites like Facebook and Instagram, for instance, which puts kids at risk of
identity theft and digital kidnapping (绑架)—when someone lifts images of another person's
kids and portrays them as their own. Some parents publish real-time information about their
children's whereabouts, potentially risking their safety.
But even posting baby photos to a private Facebook group or protected Instagram
account is not without risk. Parents and caregivers don't just have to trust that the people they
choose to share with won't download, redistribute, or otherwise misuse images-- they also
have to trust that the people who can see shared baby photos have their own privacy settings,
and that they control who else can use their social media accounts, and so on. Many parents
-10-
believe privacy settings are enough of a safety net. In reality, even these posts can reach a large
audience.
Children's advocates argue that kids have a moral right to control their own digital
footprint, and perhaps even a legal right. Giving children the right to say “no, it's not okay
for you to post that". By age four, children have an awareness of their sense of self. At this
young age, they are able to build friendships, have the ability to reason, and begin to compare
themselves with others. Parents who post regularly can talk about the internet with their
children and should ask young children if they want friends and family to know about the
subject matter being shared. So it would be wise of us to invite them to the table as children's
rights advocates as we talk about the best way to move forward.
Children benefit from being “heard and understood", but it seems likely that such
conversations would also encourage children to think critically about how online sharing might
affect them. Developing this way of thinking from an early age prepares children to manage
their own behaviors online as they grow.

The president encouraged people to tell the stories of Dunhuang and spread the voice of
China to the rest of the world in an effort to promote international cooperation on the BRI(一
带一路) and stressed the need to step up support in carrying forward and promoting China's
traditional culture to preserve “our quintessence (精华)”.
Saying that Dunhuang displays the Chinese nation's confidence in its culture, the
president added that only a self-confident civilization can absorb and draw on the
achievements of other civilizations in an inclusive manner while maintaining its own features.

Possible version
Last August, President Xi visited Dunhuang, an important crossroads on the ancient Silk
Road, encouraging us to spread the Chinese civilization and cultures. Without doubt,
Dunhuang will play a role in promoting the BRI.
China has a long history and diverse cultures, contributing to the world civilization. We
are proud of our civilization and cultures. There is no denying that our president's visit to
Dunhuang emphasized this aspect. Nowadays, some young people worship things from
western countries, ignoring our own cultures, which is very ridiculous. On the other hand,
many historic heritages should be well preserved so that young generations are able to enjoy
them.
Everyone is shouldering the responsibility of the protection and spread of the Chinese
cultures. We need to be confident of our splendid cultures, such as Chinese medicine, Chinese
festivals, Peking opera. Besides, authorities should attach value to them and influence young
people in various ways. (150words)
