To help maximize your trip, we consulted local experts for their best bets. Coumshingaun John G. O’ Dwyer, the author of 50 Best Irish Walks, said his favorite is a hike that leads to Coumshingaun, a lake hidden in County Waterford’s Comeragh Mountains, where 18th-century highwayman William Crotty is said to have hidden his treasure. “You can accomplish it in four hours and it’s still off the beaten path, ” says O’ Dwyer. Traditional pubs Doheny & Nesbitts is a great traditional Irish bar in Dublin. The Victorian classic is known as the Doheny & Nesbitt School of Economics. In Bray, Harbour Bar brings a bit of everything with great music, great food in the Fish Bar and great beer. Dating from the 1880s, the old drinking hole feels at once like a home of an Irish classic. Saltee Islands Puffins (海鹦) arrive from the Atlantic to County Wexford’s Saltee Islands bird reserve and County Kerry’s Skellig Michael from May to July (book boat trips well in advance). You can easily take a cellphone or camera photo. Watch for puffins bringing fish into their burrows, or moments when they turn their heads. Trinity’s Old Library The ninth-century Book of Kells combines calligraphy, creativity, and an amazing state of preservation.

A young actor, dressed in black, stands alone, barely visible, as anticipation fills the room. The stage is enveloped in darkness, save for a spotlight highlighting the actor’s hands, skillfully manipulating puppet strings. The puppets, of various sizes and styles, glide gracefully through the darkness. The actor’s movements are fluid and precise, bringing them to life with an almost magical display. This young actor is 33-year-old Hong Jindiao. His one-man show Riding Alone features over 20 handmade puppets of four types—string, glove, stick and shadow puppets. Hong narrates the show, sings, and manipulates his puppets to the rhythms of Chinese instruments. Hong was born and raised in Dongshi Town in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, a major place for string puppetry. His journey in puppetry began with nanyin, a musical art with slow, simple melodies performed on distinctive instruments like the dongxiao and the pipa. As a middle school student, he joined a nanyin class after school, and a year later, his teacher recommended that he study at the Quanzhou Art School, where he was drawn to the puppet class. The class needed male students, so he switched, beginning his journey in puppetry. “My parents were open-minded about my choice, so I fully devoted myself to what I love, ” says Hong, whose family runs a seafood business. Though he received traditional puppetry training, Hong has a different perspective on the old art form. “I want to master different puppetry skills, ” he says. “Old plays are fading, and audiences are becoming weaker. Few young actors can master and inherit all the traditional skills. ” Hence, in 2018, Hong left Quanzhou to ride his bicycle along the coast through cities. Taking his puppets, with about 20, 000 yuan in his pocket, he performed for children at welfare institutions for free. Many of these experiences left a mark ion him. His goal was to find a way to innovate his art and connect with audiences.24. What does the young actor perform? A． He watches performance.B． He controls puppet strings.C． He highlights his hands.D． He fills the room with strings.25. Why did Hong begin his puppet class? A． His parents persuaded him to study it.B． His teacher recommended him to study it.C． An accident caused him to study it.D． The male students drew him to the class.26. Which of the following can best describe Hong? A． Indifferent.B． Passionate.C． Disgusting.D． Curious.27. What is the text mainly about? A． Hong’s enthusiasm for puppetry.B． Hong’s splendid performance.C． Hong’s education experience.D． Hong’s travel experience. () Companies and institutes are currently working on biotechnological processes for the production of dairy (奶制的) products without the use of cows: In so-called precision fermentation (发酵), egg and milk proteins are produced with the help of bacteria or yeasts (酵母). This results in foods such as milk or cheese with a familiar flavour and texture. Supporters hope that this will lead to more sustainable food production, as nutrient-rich proteins can be produced using fewer resources. But will consumers accept such products? Researchers at the University of Gttingen have found that a large proportion of German consumers are willing to try and buy cheese produced in this way. The study is based on a representative online survey with around 2, 000 participants. The researchers analyzed how various aspects of information affect the acceptance of cheese produced in this way. They analyzed the potential opportunities and risks of the technology, including its relation to sustainability, impact on agriculture and product quality. In general, information has only a minor influence on whether consumers would try or buy cheese from precision fermentation. Only the reference to the technological genetic modification (改变) of the materials required for the production process leads to a slightly significantly lower willingness to try the product. Respondents were also confronted with the potential advantages and disadvantages of this technology. It was found that emphasising the consistently high quality of the products and advantages in terms of the environment and animal welfare in particular increased the willingness to try such cheese. The situation is different when consumers are informed about possible risks, for example that farmers could lose their source of income due to the new technology or that large companies could exert too much power on the market. These aspects reduced the willingness to buy and pay for such cheese the most. “Our study shows that consumers in Germany are open to cheese from precision fermentation if they are informed about the benefits and high quality of the product. However, it is important to design the communication carefully to address concerns about the impact on traditional agriculture, ” explains first author Dr Sarah Kuhl, Chair for Marketing for Food and Agricultural Products at the University of Gttingen.28. What is the primary goal of precision fermentation in dairy production? A． To create a new type of bacteria for dairy.B． To increase the variety of cheese flavors.C． To produce dairy products without the need for cows.D． To develop a new market for yeast-based products.29. What might lower willingness to try cheese from precision fermentation? A． Risks of the technology.B． The environmental benefits.C． Preference for traditional dairy.D． Lack of understanding of the process.30. What does the underlined word “exert” in paragraph 6 mean? A． Lift.B． Apply.C． Maintain.D． Refuse.31. What message did Dr Sarah Kuhl want to convey in the last paragraph? A． Product quality matters much.B． Environmental benefits are vital.C． Traditional farming will be replaced.D． Balanced communication is important. () The artificial turf (草皮) industry has had a great deal of success convincing millions of people that its short-lived, non-recyclable product is somehow good for the environment. Were there a greenwashing hall of fame, this would be in it. In fact, it’s clear that artificial turf is bad for our ecosystems as well as our health. Artificial turf worsens the effects of climate change. On a 90-degree Los Angeles day, the temperature of artificial turf can be hot enough to burn skin. And artificial turf is laid improperly and disproportionately (不成比例地) to replace private and public turf in many economically disadvantaged communities that already face the greatest effects of the urban heat-island effect, in which hard surfaces raise local temperatures. Besides, because artificial turf is a complex product made of multiple types of plastic, it will never be recycled. After its relatively short lifespan of about 8 to 15 years, artificial turf ends up in landfills, creating a whole host of additional pollution problems. Studies show the maintenance costs of artificial turf are often more than those of natural grass. When the field is a plastic carpet, those systems can’t work, necessitating regular cleaning with a substantial amount of water. Remarkably, artificial turf doesn’t even save water compared with grass. Industry marketing materials claim that an artificial field can save millions of gallons of water a year and that homeowners who use the product to replace a conventional lawn can reduce their water use by more than half. But artificial turf must be regularly cleaned with water, and in warm climates, artificial fields get so hot that schools must water them down before children play on them. Industry water reduction promises generally compare artificial turf with the thirstiest grasses. But far more drought-tolerant varieties of natural turf grass are available. Residential lawns are indeed a tremendously wasteful use of water, but native plants are a far better solution than artificial turf — and you get butterflies as a bonus.32. How does the author sound in paragraph 1? A． Embarrassed.B． Critical.C． Regretful.D． Disappointed.33. Which is a fact of the artificial turf? A． It is used by many poor communities.B． It can only be recycled within 15 years.C． It is a main reason for hard ground surface.D． It greatly worsens the global climate change.34. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 5? A． The amount of water wasted by artificial turf.B． The misleading information about the artificial turf.C． The temperature of the artificial turf in hot weather.D． The measures to deal with the artificial turf in schools.35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A． To illustrate the need for better turf.B． To call for the improvement of plastic turf.C． To analyse the disadvantages of artificial turf.D． To compare the natural turf with the artificial turf. () AI kitchen technology tends to be cheaper enough for the home market, thus possibly changing both home and societal dynamics. 36 So it’s vital to look ahead at the possible ethical and social disturbance that emerging technologies might bring, especially for a deeply human and cultural domain — food — that’s interwoven throughout daily life. Cooking can be therapeutic and provides opportunities for many things: gratitude, learning, creativity, communication, adventure, self-expression, growth, independence, confidence and more. 37 Family relationships could be affected if family members are no longer working together in the kitchen. Also, there are risks to culture. For example, AI could clumsily copy traditional recipes and methods, since AI may tend to flatten or oversimplify cultural details and distinctions. 38 Technology developers could become gatekeepers for food innovation, if the limits of their machines lead to uniformity in cuisines and creativity, similar to the weirdly similar feel of AI art images across different apps. The technology is still emerging, so it’s unclear whether robot cooks can precisely identify ingredients. Foodborne illnesses are an unknown. Will AI and robots be able to smell, taste or otherwise sense the freshness of an ingredient or perform other safety checks? AI chatbots have been advising people to eat rocks, glue, gasoline and poisonous mushrooms. 39 Legal systems are still struggling to sort out liability (责任) for autonomous vehicles. 40 Given the significance of food, food technologies help shape society. The kitchen has a special place in homes, neighborhoods and cultures, so interfering in that venerable institution requires careful thinking to optimize benefits and reduce risks.A． Convenience can come at a great cost.B． All of these may be lost if no one needs to cook.C． AI can help with experimentation within the spirit of a culture.D． So it’s not a stretch to think that AI recipes could be faulty, too.E． Similarly, it may be tricky to figure out legal responsibility for robot cooks.F． AI chatbots can communicate with AI kitchen, adjusting settings accordingly.G． This selection preference could lead to reduced diversity in the kinds of cuisine. 三、完形填空() At around 11 p.m. last July 26, an emergency message on the Facebook page caught Clemens’ eye: a tiny black puppy was ________ hurrying across a road in the neighborhood where she lives.

He grows fruit in his big garden and gives the fruit to everyone he sees. Mr. Xu likes to say, “Mei guanxi.” Everyone is always saying he should sell his fruit. “You’d make a lot of money at the farmer’s market.” they say. “Mei guanxi!” he replies. One weekend, Mom had to work. She asked Mr. Xu to watch me. “Mei guanxi!” Mr. Xu said and laughed. That day, Mr. Xu made me a special drink. First, he gave me a fresh pomeo (柚子). Next, Mr. Xu cut a deep hole in the top of the fruit. He took two purple wrinkly dried plums (李子), and stuffed them deep inside the pomeo. “Drink!” he said. I made a face. “What if it’s too sour?” I asked. I should have known what he’d say. “Mei guanxi! What’s the worst that could happen?” I took a careful sip. Then a little more. It was a little sour, but it was a little sweet, too —and a little salty. All in one fruit! “That’s it!” said Mr. Xu. I laughed and he laughed, too. I asked him. “What does ‘Mei guanxi’ mean?” “It means no problem, ” he explains, “or never mind, you shouldn’t worry about it!” Not worry? How could someone not worry? I worried about everything! I worried about making friends at school. I worried about getting a question wrong. “I used to worry, too!” said Mr. Xu. I didn’t believe him. “I worried all the time, and I was angry all the time, too.” He stopped talking and looked out the window at his garden. “My garden reminds me of my mother. It made her happy to see people enjoying fruit from her garden.” Just then I remembered another thing Mr. Xu said once. “The gift is in the giving!” The next day, a student, even newer than me, came to school. He looked so shy, sad, and scared. I saw him drawing an octopus (章鱼) during the art class, its eight squiggly arms holding pencils. I wished I could draw like that. I attempted to approach him after class, but I hesitated, “What if this cool new kid doesn’t want to be my friend?”注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 At lunchtime, he sat alone and poked at (拨弄) the food in his lunchbox. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In my lunchbox was a beautiful, bright orange from Mr. Xu’s garden.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
