Hitchin Lavender (薰衣草)
第 3页/共 12页

About
A family-run farm with a 12-acre blanket of lavender that paints the hillside a vivid purple every summer. Just
pick up a paper bag and some scissors at the gate, and off you go — gulping (深呼吸) lungfuls of fragrant air as
you go. You can pick your way around the field and take bunches of the stuff home by the bag. There’s also a field
full of sunflowers, which makes for pretty photo opportunities. The height of flowering season is late June to
mid-July (so early visitors shouldn’t expect peak purple) but it’s worth keeping an eye on its Facebook page for
updates to time your visit.
Fun fact
Thanks to being featured on a Chinese website, the farm saw a huge rise in international visitors looking for a
typical British experience last year.
Value for money?
Field entrance is adults £6, children £3 (5-14s), under 5s free which includes free picking for all. The entry fee
includes bag and scissors, while extra bags for children or eager adults are £4 each.
Getting there
By car is easiest: Take junction 10 off the A1M towards Stotfold, then follow the A507. It makes a great
stop-off if you’re heading to Cambridge. Or take the train from King’s Cross to Hitchin, then a taxi to the farm.
Opening hours
1
0am-5pm daily from May 26 until the end of August, with late nights until 9pm on selected dates in August.

A. It encourages picking.

When Craig Miller moved to the Catskill mountains in New York after retirement, the journalist wanted to get
away from traffic jam s and wildfires and enjoy a quieter pace of life. Yet, one year into his stay, he became his
town’s newest volunteer firefighter.
Driving around town and noticing recruitment (招聘) signs, he decided to dig further. “Speaking to fire chiefs,
第 4页/共 12页

I realized they are in crisis since more than 60% of all firefighters in the US are volunteers, and rural areas can’t get
young people to join,” he says. “The chief was trying to recruit me, saying that it didn’t matter about my age.”
Miller realized that volunteering would be a good way to become a part of the community, so he signed up to train
as a firefighter.
“
The training owned my life for three months, with night classes and Saturday sessions covering everything
from operating a pump panel to throwing ladders (梯子),” he says. “We started every session with a ‘donning drill’,
racing to put 18k of equipment on in under a minute. We sometimes had to do it four or five times and I was
staggering (摇晃) by the end. It immediately improved my fitness.”
Averaging 60 callouts a year, Miller has experienced his hair- raising moments. “I’ve been on car fires and
wildfires, which are stubborn and difficult. Cars can also give off some gnarly fumes when they are melting,” he
says. “The worst feeling is when you get paged, show up and you’re the only one at the station. That happened
once when I was early into my training and it was terrifying thinking I would have to lead the callout.”
The greatest impact has come from helping people during some of the worst moments of their lives. “It’s
massively rewarding to put yourself out there for strangers and they are so grateful for us, too,” he says. Despite
initially thinking he would stop volunteering at 70, Miller is now committed to carrying on. “One of the essential
things in life is to feel that your efforts have meaning and that you are making a difference. I’ll keep going as long
as I’m able. It gets in your blood.” he says.

4. Why did Miller volunteer as a firefighter?
A. He desired a sense of belonging.
C. He was an adventurous journalist.
B. He found his retirement life dull.
D. He needed materials for his reports.

5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. A fire rescue operation.
B. The firefighting training.
C. A recipe for building muscle.
D. The challenges facing firefighters.

6. What made Miller feel worst?
A. He got his car burnt in a fire.
B. He had more callouts to cope with.
C. He was unprepared for the emergency.
D. He had to carry out the operation alone.

7. What motivates Miller to continue volunteering?
A. He is full of energy.
B. He can encounter strangers.
C. He finds a purpose in his life.
D. He desires gratitude from others.

Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence in Spike
第 5页/共 12页

Jonze’s latest feature ‘Her’. Set in the not-too-distant future, it tells the story of Twombly who finds himself falling
in love with an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. But one computer
scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not accept the positives that human-machine relationships have to
offer.
Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield argues that AI has an important
role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, so should we be open
to the value of AI to adults, he says.
The degree of the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. In the UK, more than 79%, or nearly
four million people, are known to experience chronic loneliness, meaning they feel lonely often or always.
According to a Harvard study from 2021, more than a third of Americans feel serious loneliness, and some of the
worst- affected are young adults and mothers with small children.
The knock-on effects on wellbeing are also better understood. Loneliness is linked to more heart disease,
dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and premature death, with an impact on mortality (死亡率) equal to smoking
up to 15 cigarettes a day. Failure to address the problem, would see the world continuing to splinter until we can no
longer stand as a community.
Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of
psychiatry and medicine at Duke University in North Carolina, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a
close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a
solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” “We need to be careful to build in rules to ensure they are
moral and trustworthy, and that privacy is protected.”

8. What does Spike Jonze’s Her focus on?
A. Pets well-beings.
B. Effects of Loneliness.
C. AI’s personalized service.
D. Human-machine relationships.

9. Why does the author cite the numbers in paragraph 3?
A. To direct people’s attention to loneliness.
B. To stress the gravity or loneliness in the world.
C. To compare loneliness cases in the UK and USA.
D. To clarify people’s misconception about loneliness.

0. What does the underlined word “splinter” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unite.
B. Expand.
C. Divide.
D. Advance.

1. What does Doraiswamy think of turning to Al for company?

A. It is highly debatable.
B. It is not theoretically based.
C. It takes longer time to see its effect.
D. It is workable but needs more guidance.
D
The restorative effect of a good night’s nest is widely recognized and the popular scientific explanation has
been that the brain washes our toxins (毒素) during sleep. However, new findings suggest this theory, which has
become a dominant view in neuroscience, could be wrong. The study found that the clearance and movement of
fluid in the brains of mice was, in fact, markedly reduced during sleep.
In the latest study, researchers used a fluorescent dye to study the brains of mice. This allowed them to see
how quickly the dye moved from fluid filled spaces, called the ventricles, to other brain regions and enabled them
to measure the rate of clearance of the dye from the brain directly. The study showed that the clearance of the dye
was reduced by about 30% in sleeping mice, compared with mice that were kept awake.
The findings have relevance for dementia (痴呆) research due to the increasing evidence of a link between
poor sleep and Alzheimer’s risk. It has not been clear whether lack of sleep might cause Alzheimer’s, or whether it
is simply an early symptom. Some had hypothesized (假设) that without enough sleep, the brain may not be able to
clear toxins effectively, but the latest research raises doubts about the reasonability of this explanation.
Disrupted sleep is a common symptom experienced by people living with dementia. However, scientists still
do not know it this is a consequence or a driving factor in the disease progression. It may well be that having good
sleep does help to reduce dementia risk for reasons other than clearing toxins.
“
The field has been so focused on the clearance idea as one of the key reasons why we sleep, and we were of
course very surprised to observe the opposite in our results,” said Prof Bill Wisden, co-lead author of the study.
Our study has shown that brain clearance is highly efficient during the waking state. In general, being awake,
active and exercising may more efficiently clean the brain of toxins.”
2. What did the new research focus on?

A. Brain’s waste-removal ability.
B. The pattern of mice’s movement.
D. Brain’s sleep-wake cycle disorders.
C. The benefits of a good night’s rest.

项。
From convincing a potential new client to sharing your knowledge with your peers, presenting helps you get
key ideas across to a large audience. ___36___ If you’re looking to get started in developing effective presentation
skills, these handy tips will allow you to improve your presentations.
Speak freely
_
__37___ To make the presentation as lively and enjoyable as possible, you should avoid reading at off. Speak
freely, slowly, and clearly. If you are not yet confident in what you are presenting, try using note cards. But keep in
mind: No continuous text, but only short, concise bullet points!
Be confident
By appearing self- confident, you convey to the listener that you are confident in your topic and have prepared
yourself sufficiently. ___38___ Another tip for advanced speakers: Step out in front of the podium and walk around
the room ang get closer to the audience. This also exudes (散发) self-confidence and helps in attracting your
audience’s attention.
Engage with the audience
Always try to keep the attention of your audience and keep them engaged during a presentation. One way to
do this is to ask questions. Deliberately ask “easy” questions so that can easily be answered by your audience.
Another way to involve the audience in your presentation is by interacting with them. To make a point clearer, you
can use an example to explain it in more detail, using a person. ___39___
Speak the language of the audience
When creating your presentation, you should already think about your target audience. It is
