The package combines three major attractions: the changing of the guard, a tour of the State Apartments and traditional afternoon tea. The guided tour passes through St. James Park before stopping to watch the guard ceremony

with soldiers dressed in traditional uniforms, followed by entry into Buckingham Palace for an audio tour. After, travelers will head to a luxury hotel for traditional afternoon tea, scones and sandwiches.

Thames River Sightseeing Cruise

Afternoon tea is a British tradition, and to make this casual, elegant experience even more relaxing, you can combine it with a sightseeing cruise of London’s Thames River, the main waterway that flows through the heart of the city. Board a window-lined vessel for an hour-and-a-half voyage from Tower Pier to Westminster that includes traditional tea service with pastries, scones and sandwiches. The boat will float past iconic sites like the Tower of London, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye, as well as Shakespeare’s famous Globe Theatre.

Before returning to the start, riders can visit the Princess Diana Memorial at Kensington Palace.

It is often said that a person’s high school years are some of the most important they will experience, and are often seen as a critical and life-shaping time. During this period in their life people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their life. My volunteer experience at St. Clare’s Hospital has helped me

form this positive experience during my high school years; through valuable lessons I have learned life skills and have begun to shape my values and mind-set. In the course of my volunteering at the hospital I have discovered how to interact with others, learned to respect diversity, realized the importance of service, and gained perspective. When I first began volunteering, I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone. I am learning to introduce myself to new volunteers, go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and overall how to extend a hand of friendship to others. Not only does this skill apply to my personal life, but will also be extremely helpful in my academic life and the “real world.”

I think one of the most significant values I have gained through my experience at St. Clare’s Hospital is the importance of service. Service, involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the community. Each time I end my volunteer shift, I feel better and as if I have done something worthwhile. This feeling has fueled me to continue volunteering, and has now become something I see as irreplaceable. In the past I have been frustrated by my situation, and was discouraged because I felt I might not make a significant difference due to my young age. However, I am relieved of this because I feel that through the hospital volunteer program I can try to do my part and help others.

I genuinely think that without my volunteer experience at St. Clare’s Hospital, I may have been a different person, lacking these skills and ideals. I have matured and gained valuable skills, as well as learned important lessons about life. Many people my age do not have an experience similar to this, where they are in an environment based only upon healing and helping others, and I think they have truly missed out. I will continue on this path of service throughout my life, and I know that because of my volunteer experience I have benefited, and that these benefits will carry on as I develop and become an adult.

40.According to the passage, why is a person’s high school years important?

A.Because people do volunteer work during this time.

B.Because it is a time to interact with others.

C.Because during this period, people begin to shape their lives.

D.Because it is a time to discover the meaning of volunteering.

41.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.I realized the importance of service.

B.Each time I end my volunteer job, I feel better.

C.Service is something irreplaceable.

D.I am relieved of frustration.

42.According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?

A.During the author’s high school years he formed the positive experience.

B.When the author first began volunteering, he was excited to meet new people.

C.The author became lacking skills and ideals after volunteering at St. Clare’s Hospital.

D.Many high school students are in an environment based only upon healing and

helping others.

43.What sort of person was the author before he began volunteering?

A.Hesitating.

B.Lonely.

C.Generous.

D.Unconfident.

44.What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?

A.High school years are the most important period.

B.He missed the experience during his high school years.

C.He has benefited from his volunteer experience at St. Clare’s Hospital.

D.He was pushed outside of his comfort zone when working at St. Clare’s Hospital.

Sports fandom is about more than just entertainment. It can boost your self-esteem (自尊) and make you happier —and you don’t have to root for the winning team to gain the benefits.

Being a sports fan is a “very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Wann, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom. Fandom connects us to other like-minded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.

These relationships are significant: People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem, lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren’t interested in sports, Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health.

Beyond bonding, fans get to enjoy the psychological benefits of winning, even if they

have nothing to do with the players or games, says Stephen Reysen, associate professor at Texas A&M University-Commerce who studies identity and fandom.

“Individuals feel that the fan interest (in this case a sport team) is a part of th em,” Reysen says. “So when the team is winning, you feel like you are winning even though you are not a player.”

Of course, teams sometimes lose.

So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose? People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they’re having a losing season, Reysen says.

“Sports fandom has nothing to do with the outcome of a game,” Wann says. For example, if a pizza restaurant continually got your order w rong, you’d likely switch to a more reliable one. But because being a fan is so central to people’s identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.

Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to ease the negative psychological effects of losing.

“For fans of the losing team, sharing the pain may have protected them from losing self-esteem,” Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, co-author of the study and professor of communication at The Ohio State University said in a release.

45.According to the passage, why do sports fans feel happier?

A.Because they could gain the benefits from the winning team.

B.Because they can share pains and happiness with people who have the common

interests.

C.Because they could have a low level of self-esteem.

D.Because most of them are optimistic.

46.What is the significance of the relationships between sports fans?

A.Sports fans have support from their favorite teams.

B.Sports fans have higher levels of loneliness.

C.Sports fans are likely more content with their lives.

D.Sports fans tend to compare themselves to those who aren’t interested in sports.

47.According to the passage, if the team has a losing season, the sports fans may .

A.display their identities

B.have a boost of self-esteem

C.not support the team any more

D.have a negative psychology period

48.According to the passage, what can help sports fans deal with losses of their team?

A.Being part of the team.

B.Ordering a pizza in a different restaurant.

C.Sharing the pain with family members.

D.The loyalty to the team.

49.What is the passage mainly about?

A.Sports fans have a closer relationship with other like-mined people.

B.Sports fans have higher self-esteem and are more satisfied with their lives.

C.Sports fans always put their faith behind their favorite teams.

D.Sports fandom has nothing to do with the outcome of a game.

Renewable energy projects, including onshore and offshore wind and solar farms, have so far been subsidized (资助) by government support schemes. This has led to some to complain that clean energy is pushing up bills.

However, the most recently approved offshore wind projects will most likely operate with ‘negative subsidies’ -- paying money back to the government. The money will go towards reducing household energy bills as the offshore wind farms start producing power in the mid-2020s.

This is the conclusion of an analysis by an international team led by Imperial College London researchers published today in Nature Energy.

Lead researcher Dr Malte Jansen, from the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial, said: “Offshore wind power will soon be so cheap to produce that it will undercut fossil-fueled power stations and may be the cheapest form of energy for the UK. Energy subsidies used to push up energy bills, but within a few years cheap renewable energy will see them brought down for the first time. This is an astonishing development.”

The analysis for five countries in Europe, including the UK, focused on a series of

government auctions (拍卖) for offshore wind farms between February 2015 and September 2019. Companies that want to build wind farms bid in the auctions by stating the price at which they will sell the energy they produce to the government.

These are known as ‘contracts for difference’ or CfDs. If a company’s bid is higher than the wholesale electricity price on the UK market once the wind farm is up and running, then the company will receive a subsidy from the government to top up the price.

However, if the stated price (规定价格) is less than the wholesale price, then the company will pay the government back the difference. This payback is then passed through to consumer’s energy bills, reducing the amount that homes and businesses will pay for electricity.

The winning companies said they could build new offshore wind farms for around ￡40 per megawatt hour (MWh) of power. This was a new record set by these wind farms with bids 30 percent lower than just two years earlier.

50.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Offshore wind farms to be built in the UK could reduce household energy bills by

producing electricity very cheaply.

B.Offshore wind farms will not be subsidized by government in the near future.

C.The importance of CfDs.

D.The operation of negative subsidies.

51.According to Paragraph 2, offshore wind farms .

A.will stop producing power in the mid-2020s

B.are paying money back to the government

C.will help reduce household energy bills

D.will all operate with ‘negative subsidies’

52.The underlined words “top up” in Paragraph 6 probably mean .

A.make up

B.take up

C.cover

D.fill up

53.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.The renewable energy projects will lead to some to complain that clean energy is

pushing up bills.

B.The company whose bid is less than the wholesale electricity price will receive a

subsidy.

C.The stated electricity price is now higher than the wholesale electricity price.

D.Fossil-fueled power will be soon produced cheaply.

54.What is the author’s attitude towards the offshore wind farms?

A.Curious.

B.Pessimistic.

C.Indifferent.

D.Optimistic.

55.Where does this text probably come from?

A.A science fiction.

B.A financial magazine.

C.An advertisement.

D.A science report.

(共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分)

Henry Ford, one of the few men that made mainstream automobiles a reality. He was born into a family of farmers who originated from England and Ireland. Not the wealthiest of families, but not poverty-stricken either.

In his teenage years, his father had given him a timepiece which he later took to pieces just to see if he could piece it together again successfully, which he did. He then did the same with other people’s timepieces and eventually he repaired them too. Henry was also a sufferer of Dyslexia (阅读困难者), and although this was a hurdle it was not a reason to give up.

He completed an apprenticeship (学徒期) with James F. Flower & Bros, and also with the Detroit Dry Dock Company. In 1891 he met with Thomas Edison, who liked his concept of an auto-mobile, so he allowed him to use his warehouses to manufacture two vehicles. Ford was grateful but later built his own company so he could build the cars on his own terms backed by William H. Murphy and in 1899 he founded the Detroit Automobile Company.

This was short lived, however, as the vehicles produced lacked the quality and precision. And they were horribly expensive. The business went under, but it didn’t s top him. Ford went on to build the Cadillac Automobile company.

After almost failing a second time because of lack of sales and high debts, more partners came into the business and the name was changed to the Ford Motor Company. The Ford Motor

Company generated around 156 billion U.S. dollars in revenue (税收) in 2019.

56.Why did the author mention the timepiece? (no more than 10 words)

57.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 3 words)
