Escaping the crowds is all the more important this summer. We pick some of our favourite beaches for a day on the coast with the kids.
Earnse Bay, Cumbria
Few people come to Cumbria for its beaches, but west-facing, empty Earnse Bay on Walney Island(you'll reach it across a bridge from Barrow-in-Furness)is perfect for a picnic.Views of the largest wind farm in Europe, the mountains of the Isle of Man and, on a clear day, Snowdonia, can be spectacular.
Blackgang Beach, Isle of Wight
Blackgang Beach is surely one of the least visited of all the island's beaches and getting there's as much fun as being there:you have to slide down a steep, sometimes slippery (but generally safe)path from Niton. The payoff is a glorious beach, overlooked by a magnificent sandstone cliff that looks like avast slab(厚板)of honeycomb.
Chapman's Pool, Dorset
Tucked away on Dorset's Isle of Purbeck, Chapman's Pool is far quieter than its better-known neighbour, Lulworth Cove. Its beauty is more than worth the modest effort needed to guide the footpath to the sand and storm. And as this is the Jurassic Coast, the kids will have every chance of finding shell fossils and small bits of Paleolithic reptiles.
Embleton Bay, Northumberland
Embleton Bay hides in plain sight behind the commanding Dunstanburgh Castle. Even on the sunniest day you can wander, fly a kite or watch seabirds with few concerns about social distancing. The castle looks like something a six-year -old might draw, perched on a cliff, with crumbling ramparts and a huge portcullis.
21.What do these beaches have in common
A.They are all perfect for picnics B.They all have cliffs and castles.
C.They are all suitable for camping. D.They all can provide a noise-free day.

Detecting drugs used to be a special job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues- squirrel Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongging in February.
Squirrels have a sharp sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot (about 30 centimeters)of snow. Being so small and quick, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places where dogs may not be able to reach, such as In narrow spaces or on top of packages stacked (堆)high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes in order to catch their handlers' attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.
“Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals,” Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really good results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs Although the system is designed for dogs, it can show some information on how squirrels are trained as well.
According to a research article published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program, conditioning the animals' reflexes is the key factor. First, the animals are familiarized with the target's smell and do special gestures when they smell their target. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs' food.
Next, the animals learn to search for the target under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different situations to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets spontaneously(自动地)showing that the conditioned reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios.
28.What is one advantage of using squirrels for drug detection mentioned in the article
A.Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.
B.Squirrels are better at identifying explosives than dogs.
C.Squirrels can access narrow spaces or high packages in warehouses.
D.Squirrels requires less training compared to police dogs for drug detection.
29.What would the squirrels do once they identify drugs
A.Use their claws to take the drugs. B.Enjoy treats from the handlers.
C.Scratch at the surface of packages. D.Search for drugs with the same smell.
30.What is of vital importance for the animals' successful detection
A.Developing the immediate reactions of animals. B.Familiarizing the animals with the target's smell.
C.Doing special gestures when they smell their target. D.Involving practice sessions under different conditions.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.The Role of Animals in Drug Detection B.A New Member in the Drug Detection Force
C.The Challenges of Training Squirrels for Drug Detection D.Chongging Police's Training Program for Sniffer Animals
D
A decade ago, I attended a banquet in Guangzhou where the food was exceptional.The bird's nest soup, made from chicken and possibly ham with dried scallops(干贝), was gentle and slippery. The sea cucumber was rich and sticky, and the fish was sparklingly fresh and steamed to perfection. However, what stood out was the plain white soup of broth (肉汁)served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect.
Ending a banquet with soup may seem odd to Westerners, who are used to sweets at the end of meals. But as an English food writer named Fuchsia Dunlop explains in her book Invitation to a Banquet, soup is a unique expression of a chef's art, much like a singer's voice. The transparent, almost invisible soup is an ideal conclusion to a banquet,with its luxury and strong flavors.
Invitation to a Banguet is Dunlop's seventh book. Unlike her other books on Chinese cuisine such as The Food of Sichuan and Revolutionary Kitchen, this one is not a cookbook. Instead, she has chosen 30 dishes from different regions of China to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine and history.
What makes Dunlop's writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superior(更胜一筹的)not only in taste but also in its ability to incorporate foreign influences while still maintaining its own identity. Furthermore, Dunlop makes an equally compelling case that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food” is neither false nor wrong. It is merely a diasporic(离散的)branch that reflects local tastes and is representative of the cuisine's diversity.Immigration and adventurousness have made authentic Chinese food more accessible outside China than ever before.
In conclusion, Invitation to a Banguet by Fuchsia Dunlop provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Chinese cuisine. Through her well-researched book and insightful discussions, she encourages readers to appreciate the complexity and richness of Chinese food.
32.To the author,what is the most memorable dish about the banquet in Guangzhou
A.A sweet dessert. B.A bowl of plain white soup.
C.A dish made from expensive ingredients. D.A fish that was rich and strong-flavoured.
33.What does the underlined word “incorporate” mean in Paragraph 4
A.Include. B.Reject. C.Strengthen. D.Reduce.
34.What is the unique perspective of Chinese cuisine in her book Invitation to a Banguet
A.Chinese desserts are the highlight of Chinese cuisine.
B.Immigration makes little difference to Chinese dishes.
C.Chinese food is limited to traditional ingredients and flavors.
D.Chinese food is influenced by foreign elements while preserving its own identity.
35.What's purpose of writing the passage
A.To introduce a dish B.To recommend a book. C.To share an experience. D.To compare different cultures.
