Historic Sites in Paris
Paris is a city full of sites of different times and architectural styles. Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past.
Eiffel Tower
Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays.
Notre-Dame Cathedral
Dating back to the 12th century, the Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River.

Scott had just graduated when a job posted on a Harvard mailing list caught her eye. Two Harvard Business School students had an idea for a company offering on-demand household services like cleaning, furniture assembly and remodeling. They needed a chief technical officer to design the website and app. Scott joined the company called Handy, and helped it grow to the point where it operates in 28 major U.S. cities, plus more in Canada.
Scott became interested in entrepreneurship while still at high school. Her father, a businessman, instilled (灌输) a passion for entrepreneurship, while her elementary school teacher introduced her to coding. It wasn’t long before those two interests joined each other.
“I wanted to make my own money.” Scott said. While still in high school. Scott co-founded a podcast hosting platform called . Scott’s technical abilities helped turn it into a successful business. She sold it to a larger software company before her freshman year at Harvard.
Always planning to study computer science, Scott chose SEAS. Attending Harvard fulfilled a dream she and her father had shared. Even as she was studying computer science, she was gaining other skills that would pay off in her career as an entrepreneur. “Harvard encourages a multidisciplinary (多学科的) approach to education, which can be beneficial for entrepreneurs who often need to navigate various aspects of business.” she said.
By day, she does coding at a Fortune 400 company. She’s also become an investor in other small businesses. Scott owes her success at Switchpod and Handy to strong founding team”. When I invest in a startup, I’m looking for a passionate team with an innovative idea that addresses a clear market need,” she said.
It’s been a while since Scott co-founded a company of her own, but that doesn’t mean she’s done with that part of her life. Every business experience has taught her new skills. When the next company opportunity presents itself, she’ll just be that much more prepared to make it a success.
4. What is passage mainly about
A. Scott’s struggle against difficulty.
B. Scott’s talent for entrepreneurship.
C. How Scott’s interests contribute to her success.
D. How Scott looks for a promising business partner.
5. What is the main idea of paragraph 2
A. To tell of his natural talents.
B. To describe Scott’s family background.
C. To highlight the importance of a good teacher.
D. To introduce how Scott developed his interests.
6. How does Harvard education influence Scott

Beneath the surface of the earth lies a lively, invisible ecosystem full of life, often referred to as the “living skin” of the earth. It is a hidden world where countless organisms (生物体) interact in complex ways, driving essential processes that enable life to survive. They are the unsung heroes of nutrient cycling, soil stability, and even climate balance.
Organisms in the soil are both copious and diverse. They range in size from the one-celled bacteria, to the more complex tiny bugs, and to the larger organisms such as insects and plants. Soil microbes (微生物) are too small to be seen with the unaided eye. Bacteria are the most plentiful microbes in soil, with a population of 1010-1011 individuals and 6,000-50,000 species per gram of soil and a biomass of 40-500 grams per square metre.
If we are to understand the functions of soil microbes and the impact of management practices on soil quality, we need to analyze microbial community composition beyond just counting individuals. Traditional methods of studying microbes often rely on culturing techniques, which have significant limitations as they can only detect a small part of the microbial community. Advanced genetic (基因的) techniques, such as DNA sequencing and PCR, however, enable the detection and categorization of previously unculturable microbes. These methods enhance our ability to identify shifts in microbial communities, providing critical insights into soil health and functional dynamics.
Soil microbes play both beneficial and harmful roles as contributors to soil environmental problems such as climate change and groundwater pollution. The physical chemical, and biological soil characteristics and their interactions with the resident community of soil microbes have a significant impact on the growth and activity of these microbes. As our understanding of these complex relationships develops, we should be able to develop soil management practices that are sustainable and can lead to preservation and improvement of soil quality.
8. What does the “living skin” of the earth mainly do
A. Sustain life on the earth. B. Control microbial population.
C. Protect the surface of the earth. D. Monitor changes in the ecosystem.
9. What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Small. B. Active. C. Invisible. D. Plentiful.
10. Why are modern genetic techniques used in studying microbes
A. To identify diverse microbes. B. To simplify microbial counting.
C. To help culture more microbes. D. To minimize microbial impact on soil.
11. What can help us to improve soil management practices
A. Removing harmful microbes.
B. Distinguishing soil characteristics.
C. Understanding soil-microbe interactions.
D. Strengthening relationships among microbes.
D
The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’”, says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a micro controller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of micro channels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
12. What does paragraph 1 aim to show
A. the special ability of African fish. B. the inspiration for a new invention.
C. the big challenge of locating objects. D. the reason for developing a sensor.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the sensor
A. Its development process. B. Its operating mechanism.
C. Its main layers. D. Its environment impact.
14. What is an advantage of the new sensor system
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations. B. Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning. D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin
B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning
D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection

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佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Poetry, with its rhythmic language and layered meanings, invites readers to explore emotions, ideas, and beauty beyond the literal. To fully engage with a poem, consider these methods to deepen your appreciation and understanding.
Read aloud for rhythm and sound
____16____ Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes’ Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent The “music” of a poem often mirrors its mood.
____17____
Understanding a poem’s historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet’s life was like. But don’t stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning.
Accept confusion
Poems don’t always have one right explanation. ____18____ Maybe Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调). Discuss with classmates — different views make poems more interesting! Let uncertainty spark curiosity.
Connect the poem to your life
Let your emotions guide your understanding. If a line reminds you of a personal experience, write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. ____19____ Poetry isn’t just about analysis — it’s about feeling and imagination.
Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice — requiring attention to form, context, and personal reflection. As Eliot wrote, poetry “communicates before it is understood”, inviting us to return, rethink, and rediscover its magic endlessly. ____20____
A. Poems are meant to be heard.
B. Learn the background of the poem.
C. Compare poems by different authors.
D. Poetry is alive when it speaks to you.
E. Practice memorizing your favorite lines.
F. If a line feels puzzling write down your guesses.
G. Grab a poem, read it aloud, and let yourself enjoy the magic of it.

Tragic optimism, which means finding meaning and maintaining hope despite unavoidable pain, loss and suffering, is a crucial life skill. There are three tragedies that everyone faces. The first tragedy is ____21____ pain, because we are made of flesh and bone. The second is guilt, because we have the freedom to make choices and thus feel responsible when things don’t go our way.

Rather, tragic optimism holds space for the full range of human experience and emotion, giving us ____25____ to feel happiness and sadness, hope and fear, loss and possibility — sometimes in the same day, and even in the same hour.
Tragic optimism does not encourage ____26____ seeking out or romanticizing misery. Not everything has to be meaningful; sometimes things are just ____27____. Instead, tragic optimism realizes the unavoidability of ____28____ but at the same time that we ourselves can determine how we face it.
Difficult moments often lead to extreme behaviors: what’s now known as ____29____ positivity on the one hand — tricking ourselves that everything is great — or extreme negativity and desperation on the other hand. Though completely opposite, both _____30_____ us of doing anything about the situation.
Extreme optimism and unrealistic belief, at root, _____31_____ that anything is wrong; and if nothing is wrong, there is nothing to worry about and nothing to change. Extreme negativity and desperation are so harsh that they are firmly convinced that any action would be _____32_____. But, actually, between these two poles exists a third way: _____33_____ wise hope and wise action.
Wise hope and wise action ask us to _____34_____ a situation and see it clearly for what it is, and then gather the strength, courage and resolve to focus on what we can control. We remind ourselves that we have faced challenges before. We continue because to stand still is not a(n) _____35_____.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the age of 35, I resigned from my job to start my own business. I felt like I was on the right path, making plans and working tirelessly. Months passed, and I was always on the go, even when not officially working, my mind was still focused on my business. Time seemed insufficient, and I feared that any relaxation might lead to disappointment in others. However, the more I worked, the less progress I seemed to make.
When exhaustion began to take over, I told myself I just needed to push harder and be more organized. But something was clearly wrong. I was exhausted and my body ached all over. My smart watch kept alerting me that my heart rate was too high. Despite my efforts to stay healthy — quitting drinking, changing my diet, and losing weight — my condition did not improve.
Eventually, I sought medical help. The doctor asked about my stress levels. Although I didn’t think I was overly stressed, tests revealed that I had a condition called Graves’ disease, which can worsen due to stress.
The next day, I encountered an old friend, Emily. We hadn’t seen each other for a while, and Emily noticed my fatigue. “You look tired,” she said with concern. “I don’t know what you’ve been through, but you seem to be wearing yourself out.”
“Things have been a bit crazy lately,” I admitted.
“Maybe it’s time to take a break,” Emily suggested. As we said goodbye, she added, “It was good to see you. You’ve lost weight; make sure you take care of yourself.” She waved and left.
Reflecting on my previous behavior, I realized I had been neglecting the simple joys of life — the small but significant moments that help me relax and recharge, such as spending time with family, participating in community activities to help those in need, socializing with friends, and visiting my favorite bookstore.
A few days later, Emily called and asked, “There’s a charity event this weekend aimed at helping the left-behind children and elderly people who live alone in our community. Would you like to join me and lend a hand ”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

I was hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a try.

After that memorable day I decided to make a change to my life.

【答案】参考范文
I was hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a try. Accompanied by Cindy, I spent the weekend working as a volunteer there. We organized games to interact with the left-behind children and the experience was heart-warming when I saw their initial shyness gradually transformed into smiles and laughter. We also helped clean the rooms of elderly people in a nursing house, chatted with them, and listened to their stories. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and love. For the first time in months, I forgot about work and gained a sense of authentic pleasure in life.
After that memorable day, I decided to make a change to my life. I still work hard on my business, but I also reserve time for those simple pleasures. I sign up for volunteer activities, finding joy in the smiles of those less fortunate. I have heart-to-heart conversations with my family over delicious home-cooked meals and visit bookstores where I lose myself in the wisdom of written words. With this new routine, my health gradually improves and I rediscover the path to true well-being. I am ready to embrace a new chapter, one that includes both ambition and the joy of living.

M: But that isn’t convenient for me. I think taking the subway is free from traffic. It might be quicker than driving a car in the rush hours.
W: That’s okay.
8．【原文】W: Hi, dear audience, I’m Sara. I’m talking to James Sweeney, who’s a tree climbing instructor. He teaches people who want to learn to climb trees for different reasons. How did you get interested in climbing trees, James
M: I grew up around trees because my mother was a garden designer. What really got me into them was my mother’s friend, whose work was to take care of trees, he offered me a job one summer.
W: And then you became a teacher of tree climbing yourself. What do you enjoy most about it
M: It’s great to be in the open and that’s what I love most about this job. And I like working with people. Most people come because of happy memories of a childhood tree-climbing experience.
W: You’ve climbed trees and rainforests too. How is that different
M: The climbing is more challenging. It’s an important ecological environment, so you need to be careful not to damage it.
W: Okay, James, thank you very much for joining us today.
9．【原文】W: Wish me luck. I’m going for a job interview.
M: I figured that was why you were wearing a suit and high heels today instead of your usual jeans. Where’s the job
W: At the city museum, events manager
M: Oh, that’s different. Have you had enough of being a writer
W: It’s not that I don’t like writing, it’s just that all the biggest events and art shows are held there. You know, they are my sources of inspiration, so I want to be closer to them.
M: I suppose the pay is better than you’d get at this newspaper as well.
W: It is. But that’s not my main reason.
M: We’ll Miss you, if you get the job. You are like a ray of sunshine in the office.
W: And I’ll Miss working here too. I love my co-workers.
M: Are you nervous now
W: Not at all. It’s not the end of the world if I don’t get the job. However, it will be a great surprise if I do.
M: Good luck to you.
10．【原文】
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to a new school term. We have an exciting time ahead for both staff and students. Next week we will be welcoming our new first year students and I hope that you will all make them feel welcome and help them settle in. Now I want to remind everyone that our school will be having a government safety check this Friday. The officials are due to arrive before morning meeting and will spend the first couple of hours checking the electrical system. Then they will move on to checking the fire alarms and the safety doors, which could mean they will be coming into your classroom. During an earlier visit, an official pointed out a safety issue with the surface of our football field. It has now been closed until changes have been made. However, football can still be played in the schoolyard. Depending on the results of the examination, there may have to be more changes. To discuss this topic, our school will close on Friday afternoon for a special staff meeting. That’s all for today. Thank you.
