Tahmoor Valley
The number and quality of swimming holes in this valley immediately take us back to some of our favourite places in Kakadu or Nitmiluk national parks.The only difference here is that you don’t need a four—wheel drive and not a single thought is wasted on our old friend crocodiles.This dog—friendly walk follows the Bargo River through an open valley that gradually drops to a deep valley.It is a popular place for locals and can get busy on the weekends.The further you run into the valley,the less people there are.
Sirius Cove,Mosman
Sirius Cove is one of many quietly beautiful islands along the Taronga Zoo to Balmoral Beach walking trail.The deep,U—shaped bay,with a large,shaded grassy area is popular for picnicking families and dogs,who can be off—leash（不受约束的）all day on weekdays,and between9:00a.m.to4:00p.m.on weekends and public holidays.
Kutti Beach,Vaucluse
We heard about it from a friend,but it took a few trips to find the entrance.Follow Wharf Road until it completely ends at the Vaucluse Amateur Sailing Club.Go right up to the building and look left.There is a very narrow set of stairs leading to the beach.Go down the steps and open the gate at the bottom.Follow the narrow road along the wall to the sand.The

The Green Leaf award,meanwhile,has been won by the Danish city of Elsinore and Velenje,the fifth—largest city in Slovenia.The two winners of the Green Leaf will get £75,000to fund local green efforts.
For the separate awards,each city had to present their ideas to a judging group.The winners were announced at a ceremony in Grenoble(this year’s European Green Capital)last week.

It wasn’t that long ago that TV advertising was the center of big companies with bigger budgets hoping to raise awareness and interest of their brands(品牌).
But the explosive(骤增的)growth of Connected TV(CTV)ruined the traditional model. Yes,major well-known names are still booming on television,but new brands of all backgrounds can unlock the benefits of TV,no matter their size or spend.That’s certainly a well-proven story.Still,one important question remains:Who are these brands that are redefining(重新定义)TV advertising?
The truth is just about every company can now be a TV advertiser.Brands were often locked out unless they unwillingly accepted late-night programs or struggling networks,
well-known names hoping to measure standards that go beyond brand awareness,direct—to
consumer(DTC)businesses with TV dreams and a digital advertising budget,or business—to business brands in need of changing.
So why are brands pouring to CTV?Because that’s where the audiences are.In fact, eMarketer estimates that213.7million viewers are watching CTV every month.
Ad dollars are following that viewership(观众人数):41of brands are rescheduling their social budgets toward CTV.And as the list of streaming platforms(直播平台)with or planning to include advertising grows(HB)Max,Hulu,Peacock,Disney+,and Netflix,more dollars are likely to follow.
But making the jump to CTV isn’t all about budget.Brands have been slow to do it due to a long lack of TV experience,concerns about responsibility,and an uncertainty around how to approach the enormous medium creatively and effectively.
There are still a lot of questions surrounding this new range of opportunity.So,let’s get up close and personal with three brands to understand why they’ve made the jump into CTV and finally,how they became successful CTV advertisers.
8．What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．Traditional TV advertising is up-to-date.
B．The Connected TV needs famous brands.
C．TV advertising cannot support big companies.
D．Some brands in TV advertising are questionable.
9．Why do brands jump to CTV according to the text?
A．High viewer ratings.B．Flexible budget plans. C．Creative trade access.D．Convenient business model. 10．What is the author’s attitude towards CTV advertising?
A．Neutral.B．Positive.C．Unclear.D．Disapproving 11．What is probably continued with the text?
A．Brands which make it.B．Questions to be dealt with. C．Approaches to be explored.D．Media that need transforming
D
In the past30years,the non-profit organization Friends of Trees planted trees along the streets of Portland,Oregon.Now,a new study shows that each tree planted was connected with great reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular(心管的)death.
Evidence pointing to a connection between exposure to nature and less death is obvious. Between1990and2020,Friends of Trees planted49,246street trees.The research team looked at the number of trees planted in a given area in the past5,10or15years.They connected this information with death due to cardiovascular,respiratory(呼吸的)or
non-accidental causes in that same area,using data from the Oregon Health Authority.The results show that in neighborhoods in which more trees had been planted,death rates were lower.This negative connection was significant for cardiovascular and non-accidental death rate,particularly for males and people over the age of65.
Furthermore,the connection got stronger as trees aged and grew:the reduction in death rate connected with trees planted11-15years before was double that observed with trees planted in the past1-5years.This means that older trees are connected with larger decreases in death and that protecting existing grown trees may be particularly important for public health.
This study doesn’t provide a direct opinion into how trees improve health.However,the finding that large trees have a greater health effect than smaller ones is obvious,because larger trees are better at absorbing air pollution,adjusting temperatures,and reducing noise.
“We observed the effect both in green and less green neighborhoods,which suggests street tree planting benefits both,”says Geoffrey H.Donovan,first author of the study.“Besides,the benefits of tree planting is greatly more valuable than the cost.Our results provide an important evidence for clear interventions(e.g.,planting trees)to increase the lifetime of urban people,”adds Donovan.
12．How long did Friends of Trees spend planting49,246street trees?
A．About5years.B．About10years.C．About15years.D．About30years. 13．What can we learn from the research?
A．Women gain no benefit from trees.
B．Trees can improve health in various ways.
C．Older trees contribute more to public health.
D．Trees grow well in green and less green communities.
14．What does Donovan mean in the last paragraph?
A．We should get close to nature.B．We should protect older trees. C．We should plant more street trees.D．We should join the Friends of Trees. 15．How does the author mainly develop the topic of the text?

He told me that his big sister had bought him a combined Christmas present.It was a mobile phone.I would say it was his first mobile phone.He had been allowed to use it and only the first day he dropped it and cracked the screen!The little guy ate his heart out,tears rolling down his face as he told all this to me.My heart ached for him.It was clear he valued his present and knew that this was a lot of money for his big sister to spend on him.He’d been to a phone shop and they’d told him it would be£80to get a new screen.
I had to help.However,it was very close to Christmas and I was nearly penniless（身无分文的）and waiting on my next pay cheque.I had some dealings with guys in the mobile phone repair shop,so I took him there.I knew the guys would have helped me out and my
intention was to get the screen on the phone fixed and I would pay for it the following week.I knew they would trust me on this.I brought him with me,but the shop was closed!I had the mobile number of one of the guys’but I couldn’t get in contact with him.What next?What could I do now?

是的，主要的知名品牌仍在电视上蓬勃发展，但各种背景的新品牌都可以享受电视带来的好处，无论它们的规模或支出如何。

这当然是一个经过充分证明的故事。

然而，一个重要的问题仍然存在：这些重新
定义电视广告的品牌是谁？)”可知，从第二段我们可以推断出互联电视需要名牌。

故选B项。

9．细节理解题。

根据第四段“So why are brands pouring to CTV?Because that’s where the audiences are.In fact,eMarketer estimates that213.7million viewers are watching CTV every month.(那么，为什么各大品牌纷纷涌向CTV呢？因为观众在那里。

故选A项。

11．推理判断题。

13．推理判断题。

根据第三段中“Furthermore,the connection got stronger as trees aged and grew: the reduction in death rate connected with trees planted11-15years before was double that observed with trees planted in the past1-5years.This means that older trees are connected with larger decreases in death and that protecting existing grown trees may be particularly important for public health.(此外，随着树木的老化和生长，这种联系变得更强:11-15年前种植的树木的死亡率下降是过去1-5年种植的树木的两倍。

故选C。

14．推理判断题。

根据最后一段中“Besides,the benefits of tree planting is greatly more valuable than the cost.Our results provide an important evidence for clear interventions(e.g.,planting trees) to increase the lifetime of urban people.(此外，植树的收益远远大于成本。

故选D。

16．A17．F18．D19．G20．E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

文章介绍了如何在睡眠前避免深思的方法。

16．根据前文“Rumination（深思）is a sleep—blocker because it keeps your mind awakened, especially in bed,when it’s dark and quiet.(深思是一种睡眠障碍，因为它会让你的大脑清醒，尤其是在床上，当黑暗和安静的时候。

)”可知，此处解释“深思”这种睡眠状况。

后面应该承接该话题进行解释。

A选项“There’s no magic switch to completely turn off rumination.(没有什么神奇的开关可以完全关闭沉思。

)”承接前文，关于“反思”继续进行阐述。

故选A。

17．根据前文“The best time to deal with worrying is during the day when you have important things to do and don’t have time to get caught up in mental cycles for hours and hours.(处理焦虑的最佳时间是在白天，可知在白天中你还有重要的事情要做，没有时间陷入数小时的精神循环。

)”可知，此处强调面对“深思”最佳的解决时间是白天，可是白天的时候还有很多重要的事情要处理，没有时间陷入焦虑的精神循环中。

因此后文应该就此提出相应的解决方案。

F 选项“Here are two ways to stop ruminating at night and they only take15minutes to do.(这里有
两种方法可以在晚上停止沉思，只需要15分钟。

)”承接前文且引出后面两个小标题。

故选F。

18．根据前文的““Look,I just need to put off this to the next emotional worry time.”(“听着，我只需要把这件事推迟到下一次情绪焦虑的时候。

”)”可知，此处为解决沉思的一种方法。

D
选项“Use this same technique if your worries pop up again at bedtime.(如果你的烦恼又在睡觉
时出现，用同样的方法。

)”中的this指代前文解决沉思焦虑的方法。

前后文呼应。

故选D。

19．根据前文“On a piece of paper,create two columns labeled as“Problem”and“Solution”. Come up with a short list of current problems you’re dealing with.Focus in particular on what you’re likely to ruminate about tonight.(在一张纸上，创建两栏，分别为“问题”和“解决方案”。

列出一个你目前正在处理的问题的简短清单。

特别关注你今晚可能会反复思考的事情。

)”可知，从解决的问题和解决方案两个方面入手来不断地连接缓解焦虑。

此处强调的是“问题”，后文应该强调的是“解决问题”部分。

G选项“Under“Solutions”,come up with the next one or two steps you could take to deal with each problem.(在“解决方案”一栏，列出接下来你可以采取的一两个步骤来处理每个问题。

)”中的“解决方案”与前文呼应。

故选G。

20．根据后文“It frees your mind from puzzling over them at night.(它让你的大脑在晚上不再为它们而困惑。

)”可知，此处强调这种方法能够让你的大脑晚上不在为那些问题而感到焦虑和困惑。

故设空处应该指出it具体的指代内容。

E选项“It turns out that you’ve already spent focused energy on these problems.(事实证明，你已经把精力集中在这些问题上了。

)”可知，因为你已经把精力集中到这些问题上了，所以这个方法会让大脑在之后不在为所遇到的问题感到焦虑和困惑，符合文意。

故选E。
