Autumn is great for European walking: paths are mud-free, temperatures are mild, crowds are few and beautiful colors abound. The following are four European adventures to walk your way through autumn. The unknown Cilento
South of Italy’s Amalfi Coast hides a much less discovered wonderland. After stopping to view the marvelous Greek temple remains at Paestum, Sherpa’s next destination concentrates on the Cilento N
ational Park —first following its rugged ashore past the occasional myrtle grove (小树林), and sandy beach, then leaving modernity behind and venturing inland to medieval (中世纪的) hilltop towns. Home-cooked dinners conclude exciting days of goat tracks and ghost villages before a scenic path leads back to the aside. Four nights £630 half board, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes. Last departure October 31. Turkish delights
Follow an impressive ction of Turkey’s expansive Lycian Way, gradually moving from cliffs to coastline. You’ll begin in pine-filled peaks, typically on shaded paths to a views, and stop at both a pool-boasting upscale hotel and one of the Yanart as region’s ever-burning flames —possibly fueled by a monster below. A fine fish restaurant comes next, then a mile-long sandy beach ahead of two days on lonely Cape Gelidonya, finishing by its lighthou. Six nights £790, including ten other meals, transport, luggage transfers and walking notes. Last departure in early November.
Carpathian clambers
Poland and Slovakia are parated by the Carpathian Mountains and their large forest-filled valleys. Starting and ending in Krakow, this trip covers both countries. Some days include the option of climbing to snowy peaks or taking easier, lower-altitude options, and you’ll likely meet the Gorals —
a culturally-distinc t group known as “highlanders”. Most memorable activity will be walking along the 300m-high Dunajec River to spa town Szczawnica. Seven nights £630, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes. Last departure October 24.
Flowers and feta
林林总总什么意思Greec e’s Pelion Peninsula is a place known as the “Land of the Centaurs (人首马身的怪物)” for its association with the mythological hor-human hybrids. Between villages of whitewashed, flower-decorated stone hous, walkers can follow old paths onto mountainsides, and wander through olive groves or beside the glittering Aegean Sea. Some days yield swimming opportunities, and others the chance to recharge in a local pub of some bean soup and feta-chee bread. Seven nights £535, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes. Last departure October 23.

We know that the pandemic(流行病)has had a far-reaching impact on our minds —so much so that it may have changed the very fabric of our society altogether. Mental health professionals think that tho with social anxiety will not emerge from the pandemic unaffected. Counlling Directory member Beverley Blackman says, “For people with social anxiety, lockdown will make them deeply a
nxious in one way, and yet a relief in another.” He added, “On one hand, a person with social anxiety may feel relieved that they no longer have to socialize in person, but they may also feel that they have lost the opportunity to socialize with the people they feel safe and cure spending time with, meaning that they feel a new level of isolation and a different level of anxiety about socializing in any form. Without the curity of tho they feel safe with, lf-confidence may very well decrea rapidly. Lockdown may have had a negative impact on tho with social anxiety.”
Dr Daria J. Kuss, associate professor in psychology at Nottingham Trent University, says: “Following the lockdown, people in this country were allowed to meet up again, which for individuals with social anxiety may have led to stress and worry. They may not be c omfortable being expected to be ‘social’ again, especially when in larger groups, and may worry about saying the wrong things and asking the wrong questions as they are reintegrating into their offline social lives.” Furthermore, Beverley says our even bigger reliance on social media and digital communication in the midst of lockdown could also have a negative impact on people with social anxiety. She says “For some people with social anxiety, communication by media can be even harder than communication in person. We know that words form only roughly 7-10% of the way in which we communicate and that we rely on body language, facial expression, tone of voice, and unconscious signals behind words to convey our thoughts and feelings.”
百日攻坚工作总结When it comes to what people with social anxiety can do to feel better as the lockdown situation continues to shift, Dr. Kuss says “I recommend bein g open and honest with their social environments. Friends and family will empathize when the concerns are voiced openly. Engaging in focud breathing and relaxation may also help alleviate feelings of worry and discomfort. Finally, negative thinking (e.g., “I don’t know what to say”) may be replaced with positive ones (e.g., “I am good enough” and “My friends want to e me”).”8．Why do people with social anxiety feel relieved during the lockdown?
A．There is no one disturbing their life.
B．There is no need for them to socialize.
C．They have incread their lf-confidence.
D．People can no longer communicate with each other.
9．What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph?
A．Stimulate. B．Relieve. C．Begin. D．Develop. 10．What can be the good advice for tho with social anxiety during the lockdown?
A．Stay at home alone. B．Communicate online.
C．Open heart to strangers. D．Take a positive attitude.
11．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Stay with safe people can bring more confidence.
B．Lockdown can help people overcome the feeling of anxiety.
C．For people with social anxiety, lockdown is a double-edged sword.
D．It is a suitable way for people of social anxiety to communicate by media.

Most of the 500 whales stranded (搁浅)off Tasmania have now died. Dozens more stricken whales have been found in Australia’s largest ever mass stranding. The estimated total now stands at around 500, with the majority of that number dead and a tenth rescued by authorities on the Island state of Tasmania. Experts believe all of the animals would have been part of one large group. Offici
als began working to rescue survivors among an estimated 270 whales found on Monday on a beach and two sandbars near the remote coastal town of Strahan. Then another 200 whales were spotted from a helicopter on Wednesday less than 10 kilometres (six miles) to the south. All 200 had been confirmed dead by late afternoon. They were among the 380 whales that have died overall, with estimates from earlier today suggesting that 30 that were alive but stranded and 50 had been rescued since Tuesday, Mr Deka, Wildlife Service manager explained. He added, “We’ll continue to work to free as many of the animals as we can. We’ll continue working as long as there are live animals.”
It is not known what caud the animals to run aground. While stranding events are not unheard of, they are very rare in such large numbers. About 30 whales in the original stranding were moved from the sandbars to open ocean on Tuesday, but veral got stranded again. About a third of the first group had died by Monday evening.
Australia’s largest mass stranding had previously been 320 pilot whales near the Western Australian town of Dunsborough in 1996. This week’s incident is the first involving more than 500 wh ales in Tasmania since 2009. Marine Conrvation Programme wildlife biologist Kris Carlyon said the latest mass stranding was the biggest in Australia in terms of numbers stranded and died.
Marine scientist Vanessa Pirotta said there were a number of potential reasons why whales might become beached, including navigational errors. She explained, “They do have a very strong social system; the animals are cloly bonded and that’s why we have en so many in this ca unfortunately in this situation. Rescuing them does not always work, becau they are wanting to return back to the group, they might hear the sounds that the others are making, or they’re just disoriented and, in this ca, extremely stresd, and just probably so exhausted that they in some cas don’t know where they are.” she added.
12．What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．270 whales were rescued on Monday.
B．380 whales were found dead on Tuesday.
C．500 whales were found stranded and dead.
D．200 whales spotted from a helicopter were dead.
13．Why did Kris Carlyon say this event is the biggest in Australia?
A．Rescue work is not done in time.
B．The number of the death is large.
C．The cau of the event is still a mystery.
D．There was no other similar event in recent years.
法学评估
14．Which of the following is Not the cau of the stranding of the whales?
A．Navigational errors.
B．Overhunting of the human beings.
C．Whales’ group living style.
D．Whales’ confusion and exhaustion.
15．Where does this passage possibly come from?
A．A newspaper. B．A magazine. C．A textbook. D．A travel brochure. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

Going on holiday doesn’t have to be bad for the environ ment, and there are still plenty of ways in which you can have a much-derved break without harming the environment.
Forget Planes
While most forms of transport produce carbon dioxide, one of the gass responsible for global warming, planes have a massive carbon footprint becau of the huge number of miles they travel. ____16____ There’s so much to e and do in the UK yet most of u s overlook the endless possibilities. There’s the unparalleled beauty of the Cornish coast and the Peak and Lake District. Enjoy the history of a stunning Welsh castle, try boating on the Norfolk Broads or ride the ‘Hogwarts Express’ across Scotland. Or tr y taking the train over to Europe —within six hours of London are Amsterdam’s famous art galleries. Alternatively, take the car to Cannes in just over half a day or the ferry to Scandinavia for holidays you’d normally only dream of.
____17____
Hotels can be huge producers of greenhou gass —think about the water that’s wasted, all the bathroom products thrown out half ud and all the buffet food that goes uneaten. So choo an eco-friendly option instead. Camping or a home stay —where you live with a family in their own hom
e —are two of the best options. ____18____ some of the things to look out for are hotels made from sustainable materials, which are energy efficient or u their own solar energy and that recycle. Some also have planting programs to attract wildlife.

So pack light and pack responsibly. ____19____ All of their bottles, from shampoo and conditioner to body wash and moisturizers, are now made from recycled plastic that can be re-purpod again and again so no new plastic is produced. And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic-free packaging. Buy gifts responsibly
Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones is part of the fun of a holiday. ____20____ Avoid anything plastic, or if it is plastic make sure it is 100% recyclable, and make sure your friends will love whatever you give them so it isn’t just thrown in the bin headed fo r landfill. Try to buy prents made by local craftsmen that will benefit the community and help their economy. And don’t bring back anything made from shells, coral or animal products, becau you don’t know if they’re from sustainable sources.
