27、   When I was at school, read Gavin Maxwell’s book Ring of Bright Water. Affected by the story, I travelled to Sandaig and saw the house and one of the otters (水獭) with Andrew Scot (Gavin’s otter keeper). Later, I wrote to Gavin about my visit to his home and surroundings, and after the fire that destroyed Sandaig house he invited me to his new home in the remote countryside on Eilean Ban.

Gavin expressed the hope that I would take advantage of my interest in keeping a diary and write. On his death, I entered a competition for young writers about my experience of meeting Gavin, with story titled Bach to Paradise. Melvyn Bragg, the competition’s judge, spoke highly of my story, which he found to be “very moving” and added that he had enjoyed it “very much”.

Encouraged by Melvyn’s comments, I became a regular contributor to The Northumbrian Magazine, until I left the north-east of England in 1992 to live on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border. To emulate Gavin’s lifestyle, I chose to live in a remote farmhouse as what he did on the edge of the Bronte moors for over 20 years, with only wildlife for neighbors. During this time, I earned my living as countryside ranger (护林人) and helped the public to learn about the countryside through guided walks and events and by giving lectures.

Then I became a teacher, photographer and writer. Without Gavin, it is unlikely that I would have achieved the same success.

Thanks to the way of life I chose, my daughter, Mary, has recently gained her honorary degree in zoo management. She told me she had been inspired by my sparking (激发) her curiosity in the wildlife around our home.

【1】What did Gavin ever expect the author to do?

A.Write about his new home. B.Read as much as possible.

C.Spend more time writing. D.Enter a literary contest.

【2】Which of the following best explains “emulate” underlined in paragraph 3?

A.adjust. B.refuse. C.change. D.copy.

【3】What’s the main reason for Mary’s major choice?

A.Her devotion to animal protection. B.Her desire to know about wildlife.

C.Her respect for her strict father. D.Her love of Gavin Maxwell’s works.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Gavin Maxwell’s influence. B.Melvyn Bragg’s encouragement.

C.Benefits of country life. D.Protection of wildlife.

28、   Here’s our pick of the most beautiful European cities with hardly any tourists:

Orange, France

While Avignon draws in thousands of tourists thanks to its summer festival and amazing Popes’ Palace, nearby Orange is usually unnoticed. Easier to travel around, with far fewer visitors, the city’s key attraction is the Roman Theater, which was built in the first century AD.

Norwich, England

The saying goes that Norwich has a pub for every day of the year and a church for every Sunday. While that’s perhaps far from the truth, this most typical of English cities is certainly home to some of the most attractive medieval architecture in England.

Norwich Cathedral dates back to 1096 and the streets of Colegate and Elm Hill are home to picturesque, centuries-old homes.

Aarhus, Denmark

Denmark’s second largest city is considered to be less attractive than its capital Copenhagen. But Aarhus makes a perfect choice for a Danish long weekend thanks to its pretty beaches, towering Domkirke and the great ARoS Aarhus Art Museum.

ARoS’s Wine and Food Hall is one of the best places in the city to try delicious Nordic food.

Antwerp, Belgium

The UNESCO-protected Cathedral of Our Lady occupies the Antwerp skyline, but there’s so much more to this Belgian city than its most famous building.

There’s also the Red Star Line Museum, located on Antwerp’ old docks, which shows the city’s past as a center for migration (移民) to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

【1】What can you see in Orange, France?

A.Roman Theater. B.Wine and Food Hall.

C.Medieval architecture. D.Red Star Line Museum.

【2】Which city will you visit if you want to enjoy a delicious meal?

A.Orange, France. B.Norwich, England.

C.Aarhus, Denmark. D.Antwerp, Belgium.

【3】What do Norwich and Antwerp have in common?

A.Old pubs can be seen everywhere. B.People there go to church every Sunday.

C.They are famous for museums. D.They both have a cathedral.

29、   Robert and Peter study in the same university. They do everything together and help each other. But they often play jokes on each other. The school year was over last month and they decided to travel through the country in America. They drove a car and could stop wherever they were interested in and started whenever they wanted.

He thought there was some ice cream in it and took a spoonful of it and put it into his mouth. Immediately he knew it was mustard(芥末),but it was too late. Tears ran down his face, but he pretended nothing had happened. The other young man, seeing his friend crying, asked, “What are you crying about, Robert?”

“I’m thinking of my father who was hanged twenty years ago,” was a reply.

After a while Peter made the same mistake. Tears ran down his cheeks, too. And his friend asked him why.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.

One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.

Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
