A couple in their 60s has travelled 12,000 miles across 16 countries from Britain to China —riding their bikes the entire way. Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe,

the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.

Peter, 66, said the moment when they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.

“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.

Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.

Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink. Chris, 64, said, “It was a wonderful experience, particularly wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way.”

24.What’s the couple’s purpose of t aking the long journey?

A.To try something new.

B.To break the world record.

C. To go across 16 countries by bike.

D. To celebrate their 37-year marriage.

25. How did the couple go back to their home after the trip to China?

A. By cycling.

B. By train.

C. By plane.

D. By sea.

26. Why did the couple put off their trip in 2017?

A. Peter had an accident.

B. They ran out of their money.

C. They met with a heavy snow.

D. Peter fell ill suddenly in Hungary.

27. What’s the be st part of the trip for the couple?

A. The beautiful scenes.

B.The help from others.

C. The delicious food and drink.

D.The kindness from other cyclists.

C

Women are more miserable（悲惨的）than men for almost their entire lives and are happier only after the age of 85, according to a large NHS survey. Growing numbers of British people are reporting unhappiness, the survey found, with women more likely to report serious problems at almost every age.

Twenty-eight percent of women aged 16-24 have mental（精神上的）health problems, compared with 16 percent of men, the survey of 8,000 people found. While this gap becomes smaller between 25 and 34, when 18 percent of both sexes have probable mental disorders, women become unhappier as they enter middle age.

Kate Lovett, dean of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said that women may be more miserable because they “are still more likely to bear the caring responsibilities at home”. This duty may lessen in old age, when they are no longer

responsible for children and elderly parents at the same time. Sixteen percent have serious problems over the age of 65, falling to 14 percent over 85.Nineteen percent

of men of this age appear to have a mental problem. Kate explained, “Men who are single are more likely to develop mental problems and men at this age may be more likely to be on their own.”

“Thankfully, women are more likely to speak out about their mental health problems and ask for support from services.” Stephen Buckley, of the Charity Mind, said. This may explain why far fewer women than men kill themselves for mental health problems.

The survey also found that youth mental illness is up almost half since 2012

and one in four young women suffers from a mental health condition. The reasons for rising rates of mental illness are yet to be found. If the rates of a physical disease were rising so quickly, it is difficult.to believe that we would be so slow finding

out why.

28. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Women are generally unhappier than men until 85.

B. Women devote much more to the family than men.

C. Mental health problems increase gradually with age.

D. Mental health problems can be solved easily by women.

29. According to Kate, why do women feel unhappier in middle age?

A. They probably live alone and feel lonely.

B. They begin to have serious health problems.

C. They have no one to talk to about their problems.

D. They have too many duties as a parent and daughter.

30. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?

A. Hopeful.

B. Curious.

C. Concerned.

D. Determined.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks(盯着他们).

One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.

Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.

The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted

he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided（碰撞）with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground. 注意：

读后续写参考答案：

Paragraph 1:

Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finishing line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.

Paragraph 2:

Filled with pleasure, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. "Zahra, see what I have got for you." Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. "Thank you! Ali." Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
