What started off as a small travel blog to keep families up-to-date on our travels has grown into something bigger. We now get over 1 million visitors to our website each month. We plan and pay for all of our travels. Some would say that we are crazy, but since we plan and pay for our travels, we know what it is like for you to plan your trip.
So, why did we put our lives on hold to take a trip around the world The answer would be that we all share a passion for traveling. Reasons like this go deeper than just a love of seeing new places. Our time with our children is short. We wanted to spend as much quality time with Tyler and Kara as possible while they are still children. Our trip around the world wasn’t just about seeing museums and UNESCO sites. It was about going on an adventure as a family.
But was all of this enough to take such a big risk — to sell our house, take the kids out of school, put our careers on hold Tyler was a very reluctant (不情愿的) traveler. His view quickly changed and became the most active traveler of us. A year out in the world opened his eyes to new experiences.
It took us four years from first having the idea to actually taking the step. We realized that we wanted to live our lives to the fullest and have amazing experiences together as a family. Being able to travel around the world as a family is a gift. It was the most amazing year of our lives. Now, Tyler and Kara are in college and we have a house again. Our challenge is to arrange more short-term travels into our busy life to inspire others to go outside of their comfort zones (舒适区) and realize their dreams of traveling.
4. What is the most important thing about their travel according to the author
A. Hitting famous sites. B. Attracting more followers.
C. Enjoying time spent with family. D. Encountering new people.
5. Which of the following words can best describe the author
A. Strict and school-focused. B. Selfish and business-minded.
C. Adventurous and family-loving. D. Materialistic and fame-seeking.
6. How did Tyler change after the travel
A. He grew into a better learner. B. He became more considerate.
C. He successfully made a living. D. He began to accept new things.
7. What will the family continue to do
A. Lead their own busy lives. B. Travel more to inspire others.
C. Stay in their comfort zone. D. Organize round-the-world travels.

A new discovery of how bees use their flight movements to pick up remarkably effective learning and recognition of complex visual (视觉的) patterns could mark a major change in how next-generation AI is developed, according to a University of Sheffield study.
The study builds on the team’s previous research. Their earlier work observed how bees fly around and recognize specific patterns. This new study gives us a deeper look at how the brain works to drive that behavior. By bringing together findings of how insects behave, how their brains work and what the models show, the study shows how studying small insect brains can uncover basic rules of intelligence.
The university built a digital model of a bee’s brain that explains how these movements create clear, efficient brain signals, allowing bees to easily understand what they see. This discovery could revolutionize (变革) AI and robotics, suggesting that future robots can be smarter and more efficient by using movement to gather information.
By building a model, researchers discovered how the way bees move their bodies during flight helps shape visual input and produces unique electrical messages in their brains, allowing bees to recognize predictable (可预测的) features of the world around them. This ability means bees show remarkable ability in learning and recognizing complex visual patterns during flight. Professor James Marshall, senior author on the study, said: “This shows us that a small, efficient system can perform more complex computations than we previously thought. ”
The study highlights a big idea: intelligence comes from how brains, bodies and the environment work together. It shows how even tiny insect brains can solve complex visual tasks using very few brain cells, which has major potentials for both biology and AI.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. The objective of the study, B. The prediction of researchers.
C. The deep meaning of bees’ movement. D. The method of drawing the conclusion,
9 What is the intention of the author mentioning AI in paragraph 3
A. To present a very critical mode. B. To show the advance of the research.
C. To confirm the assumption about bees. D. To predict the application of the finding.
10. What do we know about the new finding
A. It holds great promise. B. It is difficult to put it into practice.
C. It has been questioned by some experts. D. It will bring down the cost of robotics.
11. What message does this text tell us
A. Simplicity is the ultimate philosophy. B. Nature is a good teacher to learn from.
C. Body language uncovers the secret of bees. D. Living peacefully with nature is important.
D
“Seek experiences that give you goosebumps (鸡皮疙瘩).” Such is the advice of Dacher Keltner, one of the top experts who study awe (敬畏), an emotion people ignored for a long time. What is suggested is that opportunities for awe surround us and their benefits are huge. Recent studies have discovered connections between the experience of awe and better creative thinking and improved health.
Awe occurs naturally in response to various things: threat, beauty and ability. Our responses to these experiences are in slightly different ways. They can hold similarities with appreciation, admiration, wonder and love, but also can be with confusion, fear and discomfort. Both “awesome” and “awful” find their roots in awe. Keltner describes awe as the sense of being in the presence of something enormous that goes beyond one’s understanding of the world. Enormousness in this sense refers to people’s understanding of events or individuals as much larger than oneself.
The experience of awe can be life-changing, because it encourages individuals to step out of the limit of ego (自我) and re-consider fixed ways of knowing. Experiences that activate awe can help us to re-shape our sense of self, our role in society and our place in the universe.
Many of us traditionally connect awe with unusual or extraordinary events, but awe also occurs in everyday contexts. In a recent study by Amie Gordon, experiences of awe were in fact found to be ubiquitous in daily life. Gordon gathered people’s reports of awe every day for two weeks and discovered that every third day on average, people found themselves in the presence of something that inspired awe. Most significantly, the moments of awe that were documented predicted better well-being weeks later.
The potential awe holds in our lives for providing meaning and changing our experience of the world was perhaps most powerfully expressed by Albert Einstein, who was once quoted as saying, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. ”
12. How can experiencing awe benefit us according to paragraph 3
A. It improves our health. B. It reshapes our ways of thinking.
C. It helps us find the meaning of life. D. It strengthens our sense of connection.
13. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Distant. B. Helpful. C. Common. D. Attractive.
14. What is Albert Einstein’s attitude towards awe
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Experts’ Views on Awe
B. The Science of Awe and Its Benefits
C. Connections Between Awe and Mental Well-Being
D. Awe as an Extraordinary and Unattainable Feeling

For Jacques Masiko, helping children was not just a job but a calling. As the Uganda director for Compassion International, a global organization, he spent most of his time helping homeless children. He firmly believed that every child had the right to live safely, to receive education and to have dreams.
One evening in 1988, while walking through a crowded marketplace, Jacques noticed a teenage boy watching him with unusual eyes. The boy was painfully thin, barefoot, and dressed in ill-fitting clothes. His eyes held a mix of hunger and desire for survival that Jacques recognized immediately. This was Peter Mutabazi.
As Jacques observed Peter moving closer, likely seeing him as an easy target for pickpocketing, he felt a deep sense of pity. He seemed to have understood the child’s inner thoughts. When Peter was just steps away, Jacques turned and faced him directly. Instead of showing anger, he smiled and asked a gentle question: “What is your name ”
The question obviously shocked the boy. In Peter’s world, such personal recognition was dangerous — as he had never received any trust from adults before. Yet something in Jacques’s calm voice made Peter lower his guard enough to tell Jacques his real name. Jacques responded by offering food from his bag, but he knew this boy needed far more than a single meal.
Jacques began visiting Peter regularly, gaining his trust slowly and knowing more about his life. Peter had been struggling on the streets for three years. He survived by stealing food, sleeping on the streets. He had no trust in anyone, especially adults. Hope was something he couldn’t afford — dreaming felt like lying to himself.
In Peter’s eyes, Jacques saw a need for care and love, things that had been missing from his life for a long time.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jacques made a quiet decision.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It took a long time for Peter to fit in with his schoolmates and Jacques’s family.

A new discovery of how bees use their flight movements to pick up remarkably effective learning and recognition of complex visual (视觉的) patterns could mark a major change in how next-generation AI is developed, according to a University of Sheffield study.
The study builds on the team’s previous research. Their earlier work observed how bees fly around and recognize specific patterns. This new study gives us a deeper look at how the brain works to drive that behavior. By bringing together findings of how insects behave, how their brains work and what the models show, the study shows how studying small insect brains can uncover basic rules of intelligence.
The university built a digital model of a bee’s brain that explains how these movements create clear, efficient brain signals, allowing bees to easily understand what they see. This discovery could revolutionize (变革) AI and robotics, suggesting that future robots can be smarter and more efficient by using movement to gather information.
By building a model, researchers discovered how the way bees move their bodies during flight helps shape visual input and produces unique electrical messages in their brains, allowing bees to recognize predictable (可预测的) features of the world around them. This ability means bees show remarkable ability in learning and recognizing complex visual patterns during flight. Professor James Marshall, senior author on the study, said: “This shows us that a small, efficient system can perform more complex computations than we previously thought. ”
The study highlights a big idea: intelligence comes from how brains, bodies and the environment work together. It shows how even tiny insect brains can solve complex visual tasks using very few brain cells, which has major potentials for both biology and AI.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. The objective of the study, B. The prediction of researchers.
C. The deep meaning of bees’ movement. D. The method of drawing the conclusion,
9 What is the intention of the author mentioning AI in paragraph 3
A. To present a very critical mode. B. To show the advance of the research.
C. To confirm the assumption about bees. D. To predict the application of the finding.
10. What do we know about the new finding
A. It holds great promise. B. It is difficult to put it into practice.
C. It has been questioned by some experts. D. It will bring down the cost of robotics.
11. What message does this text tell us
A. Simplicity is the ultimate philosophy. B. Nature is a good teacher to learn from.

“Seek experiences that give you goosebumps (鸡皮疙瘩).” Such is the advice of Dacher Keltner, one of the top experts who study awe (敬畏), an emotion people ignored for a long time. What is suggested is that opportunities for awe surround us and their benefits are huge. Recent studies have discovered connections between the experience of awe and better creative thinking and improved health.
Awe occurs naturally in response to various things: threat, beauty and ability. Our responses to these experiences are in slightly different ways. They can hold similarities with appreciation, admiration, wonder and love, but also can be with confusion, fear and discomfort. Both “awesome” and “awful” find their roots in awe. Keltner describes awe as the sense of being in the presence of something enormous that goes beyond one’s understanding of the world. Enormousness in this sense refers to people’s understanding of events or individuals as much larger than oneself.
The experience of awe can be life-changing, because it encourages individuals to step out of the limit of ego (自我) and re-consider fixed ways of knowing. Experiences that activate awe can help us to re-shape our sense of self, our role in society and our place in the universe.
Many of us traditionally connect awe with unusual or extraordinary events, but awe also occurs in everyday contexts. In a recent study by Amie Gordon, experiences of awe were in fact found to be ubiquitous in daily life. Gordon gathered people’s reports of awe every day for two weeks and discovered that every third day on average, people found themselves in the presence of something that inspired awe. Most significantly, the moments of awe that were documented predicted better well-being weeks later.
The potential awe holds in our lives for providing meaning and changing our experience of the world was perhaps most powerfully expressed by Albert Einstein, who was once quoted as saying, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. ”
12. How can experiencing awe benefit us according to paragraph 3
A. It improves our health. B. It reshapes our ways of thinking.
C. It helps us find the meaning of life. D. It strengthens our sense of connection.
13. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Distant. B. Helpful. C. Common. D. Attractive.
14. What is Albert Einstein’s attitude towards awe
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Experts’ Views on Awe
B. The Science of Awe and Its Benefits
C. Connections Between Awe and Mental Well-Being
D. Awe as an Extraordinary and Unattainable Feeling
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B

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。
For Jacques Masiko, helping children was not just a job but a calling. As the Uganda director for Compassion International, a global organization, he spent most of his time helping homeless children. He firmly believed that every child had the right to live safely, to receive education and to have dreams.
One evening in 1988, while walking through a crowded marketplace, Jacques noticed a teenage boy watching him with unusual eyes. The boy was painfully thin, barefoot, and dressed in ill-fitting clothes. His eyes held a mix of hunger and desire for survival that Jacques recognized immediately. This was Peter Mutabazi.
As Jacques observed Peter moving closer, likely seeing him as an easy target for pickpocketing, he felt a deep sense of pity. He seemed to have understood the child’s inner thoughts. When Peter was just steps away, Jacques turned and faced him directly. Instead of showing anger, he smiled and asked a gentle question: “What is your name ”
The question obviously shocked the boy. In Peter’s world, such personal recognition was dangerous — as he had never received any trust from adults before. Yet something in Jacques’s calm voice made Peter lower his guard enough to tell Jacques his real name. Jacques responded by offering food from his bag, but he knew this boy needed far more than a single meal.
Jacques began visiting Peter regularly, gaining his trust slowly and knowing more about his life. Peter had been struggling on the streets for three years. He survived by stealing food, sleeping on the streets. He had no trust in anyone, especially adults. Hope was something he couldn’t afford — dreaming felt like lying to himself.
In Peter’s eyes, Jacques saw a need for care and love, things that had been missing from his life for a long time.

It took a long time for Peter to fit in with his schoolmates and Jacques’s family.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Jacques made a quiet decision. He would not just give food; he would offer Peter a real chance to start a new life. The next day, Jacques returned to the marketplace with a clean set of clothes and a pair of shoes. He offered him a place to stay in his own home and the opportunity to go to school. The offer seemed too good to be true. However, the kindness in Jacques’s eyes and the patient tone of his voice began to break down the walls Peter had built around himself.
It took a long time for Peter to fit in with his schoolmates and Jacques’s family. The first few weeks were especially challenging. At school, he felt out of place and behind in his studies. At home, living with Jacques’s family was a strange new world. Jacques and his family never pressed him. They offered endless patience. Slowly, Peter started to relax. He began to smile more, to participate in family conversations, and even made a friend at school. The boy who once believed he was nothing but “Garbage Boy” was starting to see a different future for himself with expectation.
