Tracks Through Time: Four Stunning UK Train Journeys
The United Kingdom is rightly celebrated as the birthplace of the railway. And there’s no better way to see it
than sitting by the window in a train.
Glasgow to Mallaig
Considered by some to be the most scenic railway line in the world, this line takes passengers from the
bustling city of Glasgow through Scotland’s wild western highlands to the remote port of Mallaig. Immerse
yourself in unforgettable scenery on this journey, and don’t forget to look out for Ben Nevis!
The Caledonian Sleeper
Passengers can enjoy falling asleep to the rhythm of the train on leaving London, then waking up to the serene
beauty of the Highlands at dawn right outside your window. Take a trip back in time with all the modern amenities
you could want with this iconic train journey!
The Cambrian Line
Wales, with its dramatic landscapes, historic sites and inspiring vistas, offers some magic al train journeys to
be found in the UK. And perhaps the jewel in the Welsh crown is the Cambrian Line, which weaves its way through
Mid Wales to the coast. The route begins in Shrewsbury in England and is famed for its scenery.
The Settle-Carlisle Line
No article on iconic United Kingdom train journeys would be complete without this incredible train line.
Opened in 1876, the 73-mile long route takes the traveller from Settle Junction in North Yorkshire to Carlisle in
Cumbria. Threatened with closure in the 1980s, the line was saved thanks to the efforts of rail lovers, and passenger
numbers have gone from strength to strength.
1．Which place should you go to if you want to visit a harbor?
A．Glasgow. B．Mallaig.
C．Western highlands. D．Ben Nevis.
2．What can you do by taking the Cambrian Line?
A．Pick up some precious jewels.
B．Weave magic to enjoy the route.
C．Have a sound and comfortable sleep.
D．Appreciate fantastic views in Wales.
3．Which line was once in danger of being shut?
A．Glasgow to Mallaig. B．The Caledonian Sleeper.
C．The Cambrian Line. D．The Settle Carlisle Line.
B
I have a tea problem, drinking far too much since my teens. The addiction is bad, though cheap as addictions
go. My excuse is that there are so many problems to which a cup of tea is the answer. Who doesn’t think it’s a
lifesaver right now, as the dark falls and the cold follows?
Luckily, I needn’t be ashamed of my dependence on tea any longer — in fact, I should be proud. Because a
new study by Professor Francisca Antman, an economist at the University of Colorado Boulder, shows widespread
adoption of tea-drinking in late 18th-century England wasn’t just central to the development of our national culture,
it actually saved lives.
In 1784, the Commutation Act dramatically cut the tea tax from 119% to 12.5%. Soon even peasants were
drinking two cups of tea a day, with tea imports increasing six times between 1761 and 1834．What does a cup of
tea need apart from tea leaves? Boiled water —which meant much healthier water in an era when people didn’t
know dirty water spread disease. Plus, at the time tea was cheaper than beer, the other source of disease-free drink.
Death rates fell from 28 to 23 per 1,000 people over that same period. The role of tea imports was confirmed
by drops in deaths from diseases carried by water. Improvements were greatest in areas of lower water quality. And
there was economic development, allowing the gathering together of people in the factory towns of the Industrial
Revolution.
This all happened by accident, in a period in which public health protection didn’t much exist. It is surprising
how a social custom could have such a big impact on the course of history. Anyway, I’m off to put the k ettle on.
4．Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward drınking tea?
A．Critical. B．Skeptical. C．Positive. D．Conservative.
5．Why did the death rates drop?
A．The government canceled the tea tax. B．The tea was the cheapest drink.
C．The boiled tea water was cleaner. D．The British preferred to drink tea.
6．Which of the places might benefit most from drinking tea in history?
A．Tea growing areas. B．Dirty communities.
C．Mountain areas. D．Towns rich in water.
7．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．An Unexpected Lifesaver B．A Modern Trend in Tea Drinking
C．The Origins of Tea Addiction D．The Impacts of Tea Export
C
People may typically think of memory as the recollection of the past. Memory enables people to learn from
past experiences and apply that knowledge in present circumstances. It is a vital part of our identity. So is culture,
the way of life specific to a group of people.
Cultural memory is the constructed understanding of the past that is passed from one generation to the next
through text, oral traditions, monument s and other symbols. Cultural memory is often amassed in objects, such as
museums or historical monuments. To understand culture, humans access masses of cultural symbols, such as
books. Artifacts（历史文物）of the past provide insights into where we came from. Libraries and the Internet keep
a seemingly boundless amount of data on what it means to be part of a culture. Cultural memory is the longest-
lasting form of memory.
Like all forms of memory, cultural memory has important functions. For example, it makes the experiences a
nation owns clear. It provides us with an understanding of the past and the values of the group to which we belong.
Besides, it creates a form of shared identity and a means for communicating this identity to new members. The
most powerful forms of cultural memory may involve memories of past disastrous experiences undergone by
groups of victims. For example, in Russia, their role in Word War Ⅱ- in which tens of millions of Russians were
killed —is still an important part of modern Russian identity. Because all groups have cultural memory, it can bring
about a spirit of resistance or survival among threatened groups.
The main function of cultural memory is not to recall the past, whether it be good or bad. Rather, it is to use
knowledge of past experiences to avoid making the same mistakes again and again. Cultural memory enables
people to adapt to their culture; it enables cultures to adapt to new circumstances by keeping traces of what worked
in the past.
8．What is the function of the first paragraph?
A．Reporting a discovery of cultural memory.
B．Leading to the concept of cultural memory.
C．Introducing the importance of memory in identity.
D．Making a connection between memory and culture.
9．Which can replace the underlined word “amassed” in paragraph 2?
A．Accumulated B．Overlooked. C．Evaluated. D．Created.
10．Russia is mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate ______.
A．the features of cultural memory
B．the formation of cultural memory
C．the role of big events in Russian identity
D．the impact of cultural memory on identity
11．What is cultural memory mainly expected to do?
A．Pass previous wisdom down.
B．Keep traces of history.
C．Get people to know about the past.
D．Remind people of their identity.
D
Contrary to the commonly-held view, the brain does not have the ability to rewire itself to make up for the loss
of sight, or a stroke, for example, say scientists from the University of Cambridge and Johns Hopkins University.
Writing in eLife, Professors Tamar Makin（Cambridge）and John Krakauer（Johns Hopkins）argue that the
belief that the brain, in response to injury or deficit, can reorganise itself and repurpose particular regions for new
