A

The
editor
of
the
new
Cool
Camping
Britain
guide
chooses
some
of
his
favorite
new
finds
in England, Wales and Scotland.
Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides

Is
this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looking seaward to
the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the
Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its

setting.

Open April - September, from
￡
5 per tent per night.
Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk

Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for
a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position
is
perfect.
It’s
a
g
reat
place
to
do
nothing
but
get
into
nature.
You
can
put
up
your
tent
in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.
Open Easter - October, from
￡
10 per tent per night.
Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall

This
site,
by
a
lake,
is
all
about
simple
pleasures.
Located
in
the
former
mining
village,
it has a summerhouse(
凉亭
) with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals
including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away.
There’s very little to do h
ere, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.

Open Easter - September, from
￡
10 per tent per night.
Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Sciily

Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its
greatest advantage
—

so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal.
But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking
the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden
view in England.
Open March - October, from
￡
7. 50 per tent per night,
1. Which of the following is TRUE about Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides?
A. It has been open for a few years. B. A beautiful lake surrounds it.
C.
It
offers
the
longest
service. D.
The
rent
of
a
tent
per
night
is
the
lowest.
2. Which place can you choose if you like a simple farm life?
A. Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides.
B. Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk.
C. Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall.
D. Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly.
3. In Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, you can’t ________.

A. contact others by phones B. view the bay from the hillside
C. get everyday necessities
D. relax yourself by reading
B
Perhaps
Van
Gogh
（
1853-1890
）
isn’t
the
most
famous
artist
in
the
world,
but
his
personal
story
is
probably
the
most
well
known.
The
paintings
he
created
didn’t
become
famous
until
after he died. Last year marked the 125th anniversary of his death. An art exhibition was
in
B
eijing
till
Dec.
6,
in
which
more
than
3,000
photos
of
the
artist’s
masterpieces
were
shown.
However,
the
paintings
that
made
him
famous
after
his
death
did
little
for
him when
he was alive.
Van
Gogh
was
born
into
a
rich
family
in
the
Netherlands.
He
started
his
career working
for an art dealer. But then he tried other things like teaching in England. He also tried
to become a priest, but failed the exams.
Finally, he found something else to believe in while he was living in a small mining
town in Belgium
—
art. He returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing.

He
was
an
important
and
great
artist
in
a
generation
that
challenged
the
Impressionist
style. Post-Impressionists, like Van Gogh, wanted to show the world as it felt to them,
not always as it looked.

Van
Gogh
used
different
forms
and
colors
to
make
his
art
more
abstract.
The
way
he
used
colors was especially impressive. In Wheatfield with Crows (1890), the colors are very
intense. Corn is yellow, grass is green, and crows are black. But the colors are used in
such a way that it looks better than a photograph.
Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s art wasn’t very popular while he was alive. He was poor
and was thought to have mental problems, which led him to cut off his ear and eventually
die by shooting h
imself. Arguably, it wasn’t the art that gave him mental problems. What
made him so sad may have been the difficulty of working as an artist in a practical world.
4. What can we know about Van Gogh from the passage?
A. He was born into a rich family in the Netherlands 125 years ago.
B. He was a teacher, a priest and a miner before he became an artist.
C. He did not get much wealth or fame from his works before he died.
D. He decided to be an artist when he worked as an art dealer.
5. According to the passage, Van Gogh impressed people deeply by ________.
A. how he used colors in his paintings
B. how he became famous for his paintings
C. how he showed the world exactly as it looked
D. how he began to love art while living in Belgium
6. What mi
ght have caused Van Gogh’s mental problems?

A. The art of painting. B. The loss of one of his ears.
C. Pressure from his family.

D. Not being accepted or recognized.
7. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Wheatfield wit
h Crows B. An Artist’s Sad Story

C. Childhood of Van Gogh
D. An Art Exhibition of Van Gogh
C

Times are a little tough at our house right now. Neither of us makes a lot of money,
but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from
one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when we're
facing lean times. When I know that I have to keep us fed on not much money, I fall back
on my grandmother's recipes. She taught me to cook.

When
I
was
a
kid,
my
twin
brother
and
I
spent
long
summer
weeks
and
Christmas
vacations
with my mother's parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with
my grandfather on frozen mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my
grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.

My
great-grandmother
died
when
my
grandmother
was
11
years
old.
As
the
eldest
daughter,
she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the
Great
Depression,
she
learned
how
to
make
a
little
food
go
a
long
way.
Vegetables
were
cheap,
so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast
beef
was
a
twice-a-month
luxury,
but
there
was
nothing
she
couldn't
do
with
a
chicken,
every
part of it. Nothing went to waste.

Now I understand that her food was sacred. I feel connected to my grandmother and to
hundreds of years of family when I'm in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious
smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation
—
of not just
surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.

From
grandmother
I
learned
to
take
real
satisfaction
in
feeding
people.
My
grandmother
would
beam
with
pleasure over a heavily
laden table and say,
“
Do you know what this would
cost at the
restaurant?
”
I never knew
what
restaurant in
particular she had in mind, but
I
knew
that
the
question
was
totally
not
fair,
because
no
restaurant
anywhere
can
cook
like
a grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can.

A. she wants to try out her grandmother’s recipes

B. she and her husband are quite particular about food
C. she enjoys cooking at home

A. with a bad harvest

B. with little money
D. with little work
10.
According to the passage, the author’s grandmother__________.

A. learnt to cook throughout the Great Depression
B. was careful in budgeting
C. preferred chicken to beef
D. was careful in cooking vegetables
11. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Cook like My Grandmother

C. My G
randmother’s
Recipe

B. My G
randmother’s
Sacred Food
D. Joy and Pleasure in Cooking
D
Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people?
How do you sta
rt a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy
at
tiny
chips
in
everyone’s
name
tag.
The
chips
send
back
name,
job,
hobbies,
and
the
time
available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn’t quite happene
d in real life. But the world is already experiencing a
revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even
under
your
own
skin.
Passive
RFID
tags
have
no
energy
source-batteries
because
they
do
not
need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for
example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated.
Already,
RFID
technology
is
used
for
recognizing
each
car
or
truck
on
the
road
and
it
might
appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate
and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same
chip gets you into the VIP section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of
computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you
needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and
send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.
RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely
coupled set of
individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr. J. Reich.
Human
right
supporters
are
nervous
about
the
possibilities
of
such
technology.
It
goes
too
far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer
company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how
many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits.
When
Marconi
invented
radio,
he
thought
it
would
be
used
for
ship-to- shore
communication.
Not for pop
music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies
will
be used in
the future.
Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.

12. The article is intended to .
A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D. predict the applications of RFID technology
13. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people .
A. will have no trouble getting data about others
B. will have more energy for conversation
C. will have more time to make friends
D.
won’t feel shy at parties any longer

14. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?
A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.
B. Because market competition will become more fierce.
C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.
D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.
15. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology .
A. will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B. will be widely used, including for buying milk
C. will only be used for buying milk
D. will probably not be widely used
