He and his wife moved to a Scottish island 25 years ago and bought a run - down hotel, which they run as a self-catered（不包餐的）holiday house. Handing over the keys to guests on a Friday, Walters said, "We're retired, and it gives me more time to do the things I want to do”.It's why Walters thought he might enjoy teaching people to ski. He had, after all, enjoyed the bread-making classes he used to run. "I like teaching people things J he says.Walters first skied at 11 on a school trip to Austria. "We were allowed to go up the mountain on the second day and I remember, with a friend, being so scared of skiing down that we actually walked down J he says. Yet it didn't put him off. Their teacher started organizing Sunday trips to Glenshee, the skiing area in the Highlands, and Walters became part of the schoofs ski team.Once he had taken the week-long instructor course in the Cairngorms - followed by further training -he warn't sure there would be an easy route into work. Then he spotted a request on Face book from a company that teaches children to ski, for someone to replace one of their instructors who had injured herself. Three days later, Walters arrived in Switzerland. "I was thinking: "This is going to be awful, because Fil be this old guy,'" he says. But he wasn't even the oldest instructor there was one in his early 7 as. It went so well that, by the second day, his group of 11- and 12- year - olds were skiing down easy runs.He now regularly works with the company, teaching groups of children during their school holidays. Walters spends most of his time dealing with beginners skiing fairly slowly. He isn*t trying to teach them to go as fast as possiblehe's trying to teach them how to ski with control, reduce speed, and get down the mountain without killing themselves.He has just taken a further qualification as a ski instructor, reaching a level that enabled him to teach almost anywhere.24. What made it possible for Walters to teach people to ski?A. The self - catered holiday hotel.B. The sufficient time after retirement.C. His childhood skiing experience in Kuwait.D. The profits made from running a holiday house.25. What does the underlined phrase "put him ofF, in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Delay him. B. Make him lose interest.C. Cause him harm. D. Appeal to him.26. What was Walters concerned about when he applied for his ski instructors job?A. He was too old for the job.B. He would work for a short time.C. He lacked necessary trainings.D. He was less experienced.27. What can we learn about Walters from the last paragraph?A. He is a lazy ski instructor.B. He will apply for a better job.C. He is patient with beginners.D. He works as a full-time ski instructor.CIsn't it strange that in most places the only humans you are leg ally allowed to hit are children? As of March 21, all forms of physical punishment against children, such as slacking, hitting, slapping and shaking is illegal in walks. The law change is hailed as “historic" by the Welsh government and a number of child protection champions, who call for England to follow suit. The law will apply to everybody in walks, including visitors.“Today is a historic moment fbr children and their rights in walks as we make physically punishing children a thing of the past J said Julie organ, the deputy minister fbr social services, who has campaigned for the law change for more than two decades.According to Welsh Government surveys, parents of young children in walks have shown a significant shift in attitude over the past decade. For example, in 2019, 70 % of parents and guardians of young children in walks disagreed that it is sometimes necessary to shack a child, compared with 39 % in a similar survey in 2018.“In walks, as in more than 60 countries around the world, we will no longer tolerate physical violence against children,“ said via Laing, the policy and public affairs manager at NSPCC Cymru walks. "Until now, children were the only group in our society who it was acceptable to strike in certain circumstanced. We don't allow the physical punishment of adults or animals, so it is absurd that we have for so long with children.”Anyone who physically punishes a child risks being arrested or charged with assault and may get a criminal record. However, the government says the police and Crown Prose cut ion Service will apply two tests before implementing（实施）the law change: is there evidence to charge and is it in the public interest to do so. They will also consider what is in the best interests of the child.28. What is the direct result of the law change?A. Visitors' rights will be valued in walks.B. Parents needn't accompany their children.C. Physical punishment on children will not be allowed.D. The government will be responsible for children's safety.29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Parents insist on never punishing children.B. More parents are against punishing children.C. Parents1 attitude changes slightly in punishing children.D. Some parents are still punishing children in daily life.30. What is via Laing's attitude towards the law change?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Unclear.D. Negative.31. What does the government say about the implementation of the law change?A. Its easy to handle.B. It will meet strong opposition.C. It needs more research.D. Ifs fully acceptable.DWhile environmental assessments of new roads focus on the danger of habitat destruction, or bats colliding（碰撞）with traffic, the first ever controlled field experiment to investigate the impact of vehicle noise suggests the thunder of road traffic is likely to drive away bats and cause bat activity to decrease by two-thirds.Researchers played noise recorded from the A38 dual carriage way in demon, with a "dusk average” of 26 vehicle passing per minute, in locations where different bat species flew and fed. The wild bats, including pipistrelle species, were monitored with bat detectons（探测器）placed beside, and 20 metres away, from the recorded noise.Ultrasonic（超音速）sounds from vehicle were found to block some bat species' high-frequency echo - location calls, which they use to find insect prey（捕获物）such as moths. But more significant was that most bat species sought to avoid audible（听得见的）traffic noise.“Just like us, bats are likely to find audible road noise an irritation, something they would prefer to avoid rather than it jamming their echo - location J said Fiona Matt hews, lead author of the paper in Environmental Pollution.Matthews said the effect of ordinary traffic noise on bats meant that the negative impact of new roads on bat populations was likely to be more far-reaching than realized.She said: “This is important, as it means we could expect to see negative effects continue at a considerable distance from the road. We know that lower frequency road noise travels well beyond 50 metres-the scale at which ecological impact assessments are conducted.”Dr Henry Schofield, from Vincent Wildlife Trust, which jointly funded the research, said: "We have raised people's awareness that bat species face barriers in the landscape that impede （阻碍）their ability to access suitable feeding areas and reduce their chances of survival. Along with habitat destruction and artificial lighting at night, this research has added road noise to the list of anthropogenic（人为的）factors reducing habitat quality for these protected species.”What does the new research find about vehicle noise?A. It destroys bats* habitat.C. It helps bats to find insect prey.33. What does paragraph 2 focus on?A. The design of the research.C. The function of bat detectors.B. It influences bats' ability to feed.D. It causes bats to collide with traffic.B. The varieties of wild bats.D. The traffic flow on highways.34. What can we learn from Matthews's words about the impact of new roads on bats?A. It is well - informed.B. It could be preventable.C. It could be more serious.D. It is predictable.35. Which aspect of the research does Dr Schofield talk about?A. Its application. B. Its dimension.C. Its limitation. D. Its significance.第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，总分值12.5分）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正确选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.How to find purpose in lifeIf you're asking yourself “What is my purpose?" you're not alone.
