Looking to take your four-legged friend on holiday? Here are the best pet-friendly hotels in the UK.
Sentry Mead, Isle of Wight
Sentry Mead is a beautifully decorated destination with charming bedrooms. Guests delight in features such as piles of books, homemade cakes and even a pillow menu. Dogs are welcomed with a bowl at the gate and are allowed everywhere except the dining room. There are extra blankets just for them, not to mention walks from the door to Alum Bay, and treats and towels on your return.
No. Twenty 9, Norfolk
This hotel offers a lively stylish atmosphere and charmingly odd features. Rooms are spacious and light, each named after a music or movie legend.

A spa shower in the garden washes off the sand on your friend after a long day on the beach before settling down in the bar together.
Mayfair Townhouse, London
Mayfair Townhouse is spread over a row of townhouses on Half Moon Street. Inside it offers an abundance of personality and a touch of oddity with nods to the famous writer Oscar Wilde.

(1)、Which hotel might be favoured by a literature lover?A、Sentry Mead & Halfway Bridge. B、No. Twenty 9 & Mayfair Townhouse. C、Sentry Mead & Mayfair Townhouse. D、No. Twenty 9 & Halfway Bridge.(2)、What is unique to Mayfair Townhouse for puppies?A、Getting a new toy. B、Enjoying a spa shower. C、Having a walk outdoors. D、Dining with their owners.(3)、Who is this text intended for?A、Visitors to the UK. B、Four-legged friends. C、Pet owners. D、Travellers with puppies.2. 阅读理解Road trips were part of my childhood, but it is hard to say they are entirely fond memories. As someone who easily got carsick, I spent most of the long drives with my head against the window or leaning awkwardly to the side. More often, however, I would have to sleep through the CDs in our beaten car.
There was one CD that we often played, one that became the symbolic Road Trip CD in my mind. It was an album in Mandarin (普通话) by my mom's favorite music artist, Leon Lai, who I understood was a major Cantopop legend in his day. We seemingly only played the unidentified Leon Lai CD during our hour-long road trips. I didn't know what it was called until I was in high school and successfully uncovered it by searching through Leon Lai's albums on Spotify until I found the one like the CD cover art.
向往,or Longing, a 1998 Mandarin release, didn't seem to be one of Leon Lai's most famous works. My mom didn't seem to remember why she had it either. The fact that it was in Mandarin, however, made my parents even more willing to play it on repeat. To make up for me and my brother's embarrassing unfamiliarity with the Chinese language, throughout our childhood they were keen on having us watch shows and listen to music in Chinese as a way for us to immerse ourselves and make up for the ground we lost. They were usually in Mandarin, because that was what our formal Chinese schooling taught us, even though Cantonese was the dialect our family actually spoke. This at least meant I could use what I learned in class to understand the lyrics in this album, though I found the singing harder to understand.
Due to the endless exposure to the songs on the road the genuinely memorable mix of upbeat and ballad-like tunes, as well as how well it shows my complicated connection to the Chinese language, this random album holds a special place in my heart.
(1)、How did the author feel during road trips?A、Bored. B、Anxious. C、Uncomfortable. D、Embarrassed.(2)、How did the author find the album's name?A、By asking his mother. B、By finding the CD case. C、By searching his high school. D、By matching the CD cover online.(3)、What does the underlined word "This" mean in paragraph 3?A、Chinese schooling. B、Family language. C、Music in Cantonese. D、Frequent exposure to Mandarin.(4)、What does the album Longing mean to the author?A、A favorite type of music. B、A cherished family tradition. C、A struggle with language identity. D、A connection between generations.3. 阅读理解If you take a minute to think about the things that catch your attention, they're usually outsized (the Pyramids of Giza), extraordinarily delicate (a well-composed song), boldly colored (peacock feathers), or shocking (a bolt of lightning or a twist ending). These attention-grabbing things make us curious: Why is it like this? Where did the idea come from, or what made this happen?
From these questions come boundless story possibilities. From those ideas, though, we have to eventually cut them down to the ones worth telling, the ones that will grab and keep our readers' attention. This issue looks at that challenge from a variety of angles. Jane K. Cleland tackles the idea of thematic writing — writing that encourages readers to think about big issues that may or may not affect their lives, but at the very least will make them think What if… Then Jessica Strawser shares nine ways to write more authentic (真实的) child characters in adult fiction to bring a fresh perspective and engage readers. Tiffany Yates Martin takes on the debate of the controversial prologue (序言) — should you or shouldn't you use one? You'll have to read on to find out. When it comes to short fiction, Ran Walker offers tips for making the most of titles and first lines when every word counts. Finally, Amy Cook looks at the topic from a different angle — when your published book has stopped selling but you know it has more life in it, how can you use rights reversion to help it reach a new audience?
Our WD Interview for this issue features one author, Michael Cunningham. I was lucky enough to talk with him about his newest novel, Day, which features everything I love about a Cunningham novel: family drama, global issues made local, and impossibly affecting, heartbreaking prose. His writing advice was some of the most unexpected I've heard.
Maybe you're thinking about what you want to focus your attention on this year. Whatever your goal may be, we are glad to be with you along the way.
(1)、What is the function of the words in the brackets in paragraph 1?A、Presenting facts. B、Explaining concepts. C、Providing evidences. D、Making comparisons.(2)、What does the underlined phrase "that challenge" in paragraph 2 refer to?A、Deciding what to write.△ B、Satisfying readers' curiosity. C、Practicing thematic writing. D、Creating authentic characters.(3)、Why are many authors listed in paragraph 2?A、To give advice on writing. B、To show the main content. C、To share stories for writing. D、To introduce these writers.(4)、Where is the text most probably taken from?A、An introduction to a book. B、A collection of essays. C、A copy of a magazine. D、A review of some books.4. 阅读理解A team of scientists say that seawater flowing underneath and into gaps in the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is contributing to the melting of the massive ice formation.
"The worry is that we are underestimating the speed that the glacier is changing. It would be disastrous for coastal communities around the world," Christine Dow, co-author of the study, said in a press release.
At roughly 80 miles across, Thwaites is the widest glacier in the world, nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier" for the fatal effects its melting could have on global sea-level rise. Each year, it loses about 50 billion tons of ice, which comprises roughly 4% of all sea-level rise worldwide, according to the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration. One estimate predicted that the total loss of Thwaites could cause average global sea levels to surge by more than two feet.
In the study, the team of glaciologists used radar data by Finland's ICEYE commercial satellite program to get a better idea of what's happening below the surface of the glacier. They found that seawater flows in and away from, the glacier with the tides, mixing with freshwater, but some of that warm ocean water also travels deep beneath the ice formation, going "through natural passages" or collecting "in holes" and becoming trapped.
"There are places where the water is almost at the pressure of the overlying ice, so just a little more pressure is needed to push up the ice," said Eric Rignot, the study's lead author. "The water is then squeezed enough to jack up a column of more than half a mile of ice."
Dow suggested that additional ice sheet modeling could help scientists better understand what's happening under these major glaciers and develop a more precise timeline of expected sea-level rise across the world. "This work will help people adapt to changing ocean levels, along with focusing on reducing carbon emissions to prevent the worst-case assumption," Dow said.
(1)、Why is Thwaites called "Doomsday Glacier"?A、It is the largest glacier in the world. B、It comprises most of global sea-level rise. C、It is melting at an increasing high speed. D、It will cause huge disasters if entirely melting.(2)、What effect does the trapped seawater have on the glacier?A、It goes through the glacier, speeding melting. B、It mixes with freshwater, moving the glacier around. C、It increases pressure, lifting the glacier. D、It creates a barrier, preventing further melting.(3)、Why is additional ice sheet modeling suggested?A、To stop the melting process. B、To accurately predict sea-level rise. C、To help people change sea levels. D、To persuade people out of carbon emission.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、The Worrisome Fate of Thwaites Glacier. B、Seawater's Role in Antarctic Melting. C、The Global Impact of Thwaites Glacier Melting. D、Ice Sheet Modeling for Sea-Level Rise Prediction.二、第二部分阅读,第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

5. 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。
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a writer, but the pursuit of dreams was never encouraged — leaving me to write secretly in my room. Life progressed and an interest in interior design surfaced in my teens. However, at my parents' insistence, I enrolled in secretarial school and worked in that area for twenty years.
So I signed up for a two-year interior-decorating course. I crammed two years of work into nine months to ensure that I received my diploma for my fortieth birthday.
The next step was to get some hands-on experience at a design firm. A visit to a newly opened interiors showroom ushered me into a dream job that opened more opportunities for me than I could have ever imagined. I worked as a decorating consultant at the showroom and I was on my way to creating the career I envisioned.
Opportunity knocked at my door in 1997. I peeked the possibility of writing a decorating column for a woman's magazine. The editor liked the idea and the monthly column debuted in February 1998. To master the finer skills, I signed up fora freelance (自由撰稿) writing course. Encouraging feedback from tutors gave me the confidence to submit my work for publication on the Internet. From around the world, people emailed to say that they identified with my experience to redefine myself and pursue my dream. Some even asked for advice. Soon, this hobby developed into a passion that consumed me. I now write two regular columns and my website is under construction.
I am doing what I love. On my journey, I have learned that it is never too late to pursue and live your dream.
A. I met my self-set deadline with twelve days to spare.
B. The response from readers was unexpected and overpowering.
C. My family tells me that I look younger and seem more energetic.
D. At 39, I felt a growing restlessness and a desire for a more creative life.
E. I realized that I was involved in doing something I dreamed of as a child.
F. Happy marriage with two kids and a job reawakened my teenage interest.
G. I promised to myself I would let nothing prevent me from being a freelance writer.

7. 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Ma Mian Qun, also known as "Ma Mian Zhe Qun (horse face pleats (褶) skirt)", is a kind of traditional Chinese dress. The question ofthe dress is named Ma Mian Qun has always been puzzling. What's the relationship between the animal's name and the skirt? In fact, "Ma Mian" is a kind of structure (use) for defense in the city wall system.
But its name is really related to the city wall is still a question to be confirmed. All the related books only show that the smooth surface without pleats in the middle (call) "Ma Mian", but there is no (far) explanation for the source of "Ma Mian".
The Chinese Horse Face Skirt shows unique structural design that pairs practicality with elegance. Its form-fitting waistband transforms into an A-line shape, characterized by a series of pleats that expand outward, (offer) a glimpse of the wearer's grace with every step.
With its deep historical roots the dress has successfully turned into modern fashion, where it serves a bridge between the past and present. In today's fashion landscape, (design) frequently draw inspiration from it, skillfully weaving its traditional elements with a modern twist, thereby broadens its appeal to a contemporary audience.

9. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。Calvin's day camp teacher, Autumn, passed out a sheet of paper with pictures and descriptions of different birds and a small pair of binoculars) (双筒望远镜) to each camper. He announced, "We're going to do a one-week challenge called ‘Big Week', where you try to identify birds and mark them on the paper. Whoever identifies the most birds wins."
Another challenge? Ever since camp started, Gladys had beaten Calvin at everything. If he won this one, maybe he'd finally show Gladys that she wasn't unbeatable. "How will you know if I really saw…" Calvin scanned the list. "… a glossy ibis?" "I won't," Autumn said. "A Big Week is based on honesty."
The next day at the preserve, when they hid behind some brush, Gladys spotted a great egret! "That was my gift to you," Gladys whisper-shouted with an I'm-going-to-win-this tone. "Like I would've missed that giant bird," Calvin protested. Suddenly, birds exploded above Calvin's head. Thunk! He fell down onto his back. Gladys rushed toward him, helped him up and advised, "Here's a tip: try being OUIET."
That evening, a large bird landed on Calvin's neighbor's tree. Calvin focused the binoculars. The bird had a bright red eye, a thick straight bill, a white throat and breast, and—oh, wow—long, thin, white feathers on the back of its head. "A black-crowned night heron!" he whispered excitedly. He was completely absorbed in his observation.
As the week went by, competition became fierce. Calvin had to win this contest. But chance seemed so slim! Then he remembered that he had found a feather that Autumn thought belonged to a Cooper's hawk close enough. He marked it, plus a few extra birds. What was the difference? He had seen them in the past, or he would see them eventually. He swallowed (吞咽) hard. No one will know the truth.
On the last day of Big Week, Autumn waved Gladys's checklist in the air. "Twenty-six is the number to beat. Anybody else?"
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Reviewing the 29 birds marked on his list, Calvin felt his face heated up.
……
Autumn awarded Gladys a Big Week T-shirt.
