Whether youre looking for antiques， food， collectors items or just random junk， our rich heritage has produced some of the finest markets in the world. Here are four of them.

Edinburgh Farmers Market

Traders in Edinburgh have long sold their goods in the shadow of the citys spectacular castle. It takes place on Castle Terrace every Saturday and attracts a huge crowd with its locally sourced goods. The market is now in its 19th year and champions the very best in Scottish produce.

Billingsgate Fish Market

This hub in the heart of the East End of London is the biggest inland market in Britain. Dating back to the 16th century， Billingsgate is now served by almost every UK port， with fish transported through the night to arrive for trading， which starts at 4 am.

St Georges Market

Follow your nose along May Street in Belfast and the smells of delicious home-made food will land you in St Georges Market， once voted the best in the UK. Completed in 1896 and featuring tasty food， the trading place is also one of Belfasts oldest attractions， thanks to its wide range of goods and occasional live music performances.

Ford Airfield Market

Looking for an old-style prosthetic leg， a ventriloquists dummy， or even a suit of armor？ The chances are youll find what youre after at one of the hundreds of stalls here in West Sussex. Huge car-boot sales are held at the weekends all year round. The market has been running for 25 years and is a well-known treasure trove for antiques experts looking for a bargain （減价品）.

When she was a little girl， Margarita Engle spent her summers in Cuba， where she says she fell in love with nature.

Engle， 66， was born to a Cuban mother and an American father. Her annual visits to the Caribbean island from her home in California shaped her life and inspired her to become a poet and writer. The Poetry Foundation recently named her its Young Peoples Poet Laureate， a role Engle plans to use to encourage children and teenagers to write down their feelings.

“Magic happens when you put your emotions in writing，” she said.

Engle says she has always liked poetry. At age 6， she wrote her first poem about nature. After looking around while taking a walk one day in California， she wrote a rhymed poem about the shapes of hills. As a teen， she wrote sonnets （十四行詩） about nature and stories about people in Cuba.

Some of her books explore the island， its people， markets and landmarks. Her new picture book， All the Way to Havana， features American cars from the 1940s and 1950s. Forest World， a new novel， introduces Edver to readers， an 11-year-old who lives in Miami， Florida， with his mother and is shipped off to Cuba to see his birthplace and meet his Cuban family. When he arrives in Havana， the capital， he learns he has an older sister， Luza， who stayed on the island with her father and grandfather. The two go on an adventure into a Cuban forest.

“The emotions of the characters are similar to what many children feel when they are separated from loved ones，” Engle said. She hopes that people facing similar challenges can find support and comfort in poetry.

24. What made Engle a poet？

A. Her visits to Cuba. B. Her days spent in California.

C. Her magic skills in practicing writing. D. The encouragement from the Poetry Foundation.

25. We can learn from the text that young Engle probably .

A. enjoyed indoor games B. found inspiration in nature

C. liked exploring cities in Florida D. made friends with Cuban people

26. What can we learn about Forest World？

A. It is a new picture book. B. It is based on a real-life event.

C. It talks about an adventure story. D. It describes family ties between countries.

27. What does Engle stress in the last paragraph？

Around the globe far more bird species are losing ground than gaining it， according to an expansive review of a half-century of bird population research published in the journal Annual Review of Environment and Resources.

The review， entitled “The State of the Worlds Birds”， showed that more than 5，200 different species of birds—just shy of half the worlds total—are known or suspected to be declining. Around 3，800 species are relatively stable， and fewer than 700 species show increases. Among birds on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species， almost 400 birds worldwide have had their conservation status changed for the worse in the past three decades （moving from vulnerable to threatened， or threatened to endangered）—five times more than the number of bird species with an IUCN status that has changed for the better.

“After documenting the loss of nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone （according to a 2019 study published in the journal Science）， it was disturbing to see the same patterns of population declines and extinction occurring globally，” says review co-author Ken Rosenberg， a conservation scientist now retired from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

The review points to disappearing and degraded habitat—resulting from climate change， urbanization， agricultural intensification， and international trade—as the leading driver of bird declines worldwide. In a note of hope， the authors cite a 2020 study indicating that restoring just 5% of habitat in priority areas around the world could avert 60% of likely extinctions.

Lead author Alexander Lees， a research associate at the Cornell Lab， also points to the need for substantial changes in human behavior to prevent further losses. “Loss and degradation of habitat is often driven by demand for resources，” says Lees. “We need to better consider how commodity flows such as beef， oil， and seed crops can contribute to biodiversity （生物多樣性） loss and try to reduce the human footprint on the natural world.”

28. In what order are threatened species arranged on the IUCNs Red List？

A. Species amount. B. Conservation status.

C. Declining rate. D. Living habitat.

29. How does Ken Rosenberg feel when saying the words in Paragraph 3？

A. Hopeful. B. Relieved. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.

30. What does the underlined word “avert” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

A. Prevent. B. Increase. C. Cause. D. Face.

31. What does the last paragraph mainly stress？

A. Extra reasons for bird extinction. B. Possible solutions to habitat loss.

C. Substantial changes in human behavior. D. The prospect of biodiversity loss.

D

Researchers at the University of California， Santa Barbara have designed a one-foot device that can jump more than 30 meters in the air， three times the current record for a jumping robot.

“The motivation came from a scientific question，” the lead author Elliot W. Hawkes， a mechanical engineer at UC Santa Barbara， says in a statement. “We wanted to understand what the limits were on engineered jumpers.”

“Many mechanical jumping systems are based on biological jumpers—or those in the animal kingdom， but animals have limits to their jumping ability based on how much energy they can produce in a stroke （收縮） of their muscle，” Charles Xiao，  a researcher in Hawkes lab，  says in the statement.

Researchers in this study took a different approach， using a motor to take multiple strokes and increase the amount of stored energy in the spring. The small motor winds up a line that presses the spring， which is made of carbon-fiber compression bows （压缩弓） and rubber bands. When a release mechanism is unlocked， the device launches into the air.

Because the stored energy is greater， this devices spring-to-motor ratio （比率） is also larger than whats seen in the animal kingdom by about 100 times. The device is lightweight and aerodynamic， which allows it to jump the height of a 10-story building and increase its speed from zero to 60 mph in nine meters per second.

While this kind of device could be used to navigate difficult lands on the Earth， researchers say it could reach heights even greater on the moon， where gravity is weaker.

“On the Earth， jumping robots could overcome obstacles previously only navigated by flying robots while collecting vision-based data of the ground below，” write the authors. “On the moon， the jumps of the presented jumper would be even higher： 125 meters high while covering half a kilometer in a single bound.”

32. What inspired the design of the device？

A. A scientific question. B. A mistaken recognition.

C. The limit to engineer ability. D. The record of robotic flexibility.

33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？

A. How the device works. B. What materials are needed.

C. When the mechanism is unlocked. D. What causes the device to jump high.

34. How is the innovation of the device presented？

A. By making comments. B. By giving examples.

C. By making comparisons. D. By giving definitions.

35. What can the device be used to do？

A. Push through crowded streets. B. Store greater energy for long.

C. Collect research data in time. D. Help do surveys on the moon.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Not all lessons can be learnt in a classroom environment. Overall development of students demands that they get the opportunity to participate in after-class activities in school. 36 Students are given a chance to join in activities like sports， art， music， etc.， and they can get the required break from dull classroom learning.

In some schools， participating in these activities is made compulsory while some keep it voluntary for students. There is a common mistaken belief that these events are not as important as regular learning.

37 Here is what students could learn by participating in them.

38 These are skills that are essential to meet the demands of a busy working life and are best if developed early. As adults， theyll need to schedule several tasks in professional and personal life reasonably.

Just as classrooms have different subjects to teach students， after class activities in school also give them a chance to explore new kinds of art and sports. 39

Participating in after-class activities in school requires the students to commit to them for some time. Through this they learn the concept of long-term commitment. 40 Participating in particular events in school trains the child to make commitments sensibly and to stick to them.

A. This helps them learn self-control.

B. It directs their attention in the wrong direction.

C. Active participation will help to raise self-respect.

D. This helps them understand where their interest lies.

E. Students can learn to manage their time and priorities.

F. This is why some top schools aim for a perfect balance.

G. Contrarily， they develop qualities in students like team spirit.

My Own Beat

My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head， I could hear the words my kids kept telling me， “Do it， Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.

“What are you doing here？ Youre a single mom of five. Youre fifty years old！” My thoughts were fighting with my kids words. Even so， it was as if I had no control over my feet—as if they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me.

Finally I gathered my courage， stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes， which was my childhood dream.

Wednesday came， and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting （动来动去） with the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me.

“Stephanie？ Im Mike， the drum teacher，” he said.

People make me nervous. Thats the way Ive always been. But Mike had a very calm manner about him， so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums， but he complimented me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him.

“You are fine. I see so much potential in you，” he told me.

Soon my thirty-minute lesson is over. Walking back to my car， I felt full of excitement and energy. I thought of how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and watched proudly as they bravely went in front of judges and audiences.

Now it felt scary and amazing at the same time to follow my dream and do something that was purely for my enjoyment， something just for me. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage.

注意：續写词数应为150左右。

I started the car and couldnt wait to go back home to tell my kids about my class.

Seeing my devotion and progress， Mike convinced me to play in a concert.
