Lonely Planet’s Top Places to Go in 2025
Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2025.
Top City: Nairobi
Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon.
Top Country: Mongolia
Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as the “Years to Visit Mongolia,” easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport.
Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain
The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona.
Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest
The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design (环保设计) hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money.
Top Beach Destination: Donegal
Donegal, Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over 100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of beautiful coastal hiking trails.

Living for 97 years is an impressive achievement in and of itself. Most people hitting this milestone are probably thankful for the health they have and the memories they’ve made. In the case of TV host and conservationist Sir David Attenborough, he can reflect on a life of advocacy in service for our planet. The British icon turned an impressive 97 on May 8, 2023. Born in 1926, Attenborough has spent most of his life on camera for the BBC covering animals and natural history. Today, despite his age, he is still an active campaigner for our planet.
Attenborough, who received a degree in natural sciences from Cambridge University, joined the BBC full-time in 1952. He travelled around the world with his Zoo Quest programme, highlighting different creatures. Afterwards, he created his iconic series Life on Earth in 1979. Since then, he has created and starred in countless programmes which have brought nature closer to viewers around the world.
His recent documentary with World Wildlife Fund, David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet, often returns to a theme which has dominated in Attenborough’s later work. He reflects on just how much the environment has changed in his decades of observation and how swiftly time is running out before further serious damage can be prevented. This programme was widely streamed and considered a “wake up call” for the world. While Attenborough is far from the first or only voice to raise this call, his reach as a respected and powerful figure within the BBC provides a useful platform.
Although he has received countless awards, Attenborough has used recent accolades (荣誉) as a chance to focus once more on the planet. Shortly after winning the Champions of the Earth Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022, he sent an urgent message about the state of the planet to all viewers in Frozen Planet II. Even after his 97th birthday, he continues to write and speak on preserving the UK and the world for future generations.

Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth’s history—a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting (漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go
The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up in Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments (碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia.
Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together.
Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find Marsupials and cockatoos— animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations.
The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.
8. What is the purpose of paragraph one
A. To explain a concept. B. To advocate a culture.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To confirm an assumption.
9. Why does the author mention Africa and South America in paragraph 3
A. To remind scientists of piecing them together.
B. To explain how Argoland broke off by comparison.
C. To show how difficult for scientists to find Argoland.

10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The source of different species.
B. The process of Argoland disappearing.
C. The measure about searching for Argoland.
D. The importance of continuing to trace the continents.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Argoland: the wonder of species.
B. Argoland: the reappearance of a lost land.
C. Continents: the proof of fragility of life.
D. Continents: the reminder of protection to the world.
D
According to a new study described by researchers as a global breakthrough, plants are not as silent as we once thought they were. They do make sounds, particularly when injured or stressed — just not ones that we can hear with our ears. Researchers recorded and analyzed sounds produced by plants and discovered that they can give off clicking sounds at a volume similar to human speech, but too high for human ears to pick it up.
In order to seclude the plants to ensure that any sound picked up by recording equipment could only be coming from the plants and not the atmosphere around them, researchers at Tel Aviv University placed plants in an acoustic (声学的) box in an environment with no background noise. The plant types used in this study were mainly tomato and tobacco plants. Researchers used recording equipment capable of picking up frequencies between 20 and 250 kilohertz, reaching more than 15 times higher than the maximum frequency the average adult can hear.
In the greenhouse setting, they also recorded a group of tomato and tobacco plants as they grew increasingly dehydrated (脱水的), and found that their sound outpost increased steadily for the following four to five days after being watered, and then decreased. Essentially, the thirstier the plants got, the louder they complained — until they reached a certain critical stage of dehydration, at which point their voices quieted as they dried up. The researchers also found that dehydrated tomato and tobacco plants produced an average of about 35 and 11 sounds per hour, respectively. Cut tomato and tobacco plants made 25 and 15 noises per hour. Healthy plants, on the other hand, produced far fewer sounds, at less than one per hour.
Recording these sounds could help inform farmers about which of their crops are most in need of water, allowing for more precise irrigation, which could be a step forward for agriculture. “When more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, efficient water use becomes even more critical for food security. We believe that humans can use this information, given the right tools — such as sensors that tell growers when plants need watering,” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from the School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at the Wise Faculty of Life Sciences.
12. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph one
A. To state research methods.
B. To present research findings.
C. To clarify the purposes of the research.
D. To explain the significance of the research.
13. What does the underlined word “seclude” in paragraph two probably mean
A. Protect B. Develop C. separate D. Discover
14. What do we know about the experiment
A. Plants make sounds more frequently for lack of water.
B. Cut plants produce louder sounds than dehydrated ones.
C. Sounds coming from plants are hard to pick up by devices.
D. Plants produce few sounds in the greenhouse environment.
15. Which of the following would LiLach Hadany agree with
A. Humans have the duty to consider climate change.
B. Plants have ability to adapt to drought.
C. Water is not a key to food security.
D. The new study is worthy of applying to agriculture.

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。
Kieron Graham always knew he had an older brother. His adoption papers, signed and sealed when he was three months old, listed a sibling (兄弟姐妹) named Vincent but no last name. Though Kieron spent years thinking about Vincent, he could never track him down.
That changed in December 2017, when Kieron’s adoptive parents gave their four adopted children AncestryDNA tests (基因检测) as Christmas gifts. Kieron, now 21, sent his saliva (唾液) sample in for analysis. When his results came back, he was amazed to find he had a lot of DNA matches for relatives who had also taken the test. Most were distant connections, but one match was so strong that it was labeled “close family”. His name was Vincent Ghant. Kieron looked for him on Facebook and soon made a possible connection. “This is going to sound so wild— but I think you’re my brother,” Kieron wrote on Facebook’s Messenger app.
“I was given up for adoption in 1997 and it says on my paperwork that my mother has a son with your name and your birth date. Her name is Shawn.”
“OMG do you know your real name ” wrote Vincent, now 30.
“I think it was Tyler.”
“OMG YES!!! You are my brother.”
“Wow,” wrote Kieron.
“This is crazy,” said Vincent.
The craziness was just beginning. As they talked, the brothers realized they lived about 20 minutes from each other, outside of Atlanta. More mind-blowing (令人震惊的), they attended the same university and majored and minored in the same subjects: political science and legal studies.
“We might be separated our entire lives and then end up at the same school with the same interests ” says Kieron.
Vincent was nine when Kieron was born and remembers caring for his baby brother. But times were tough, and Shawn, who worked 15-plus hours a day as a nurse, decided that placing Kieron for adoption would give him the best chance to succeed.
Now the brothers had the chance to make up for lost time. They decided to meet at a local tea shop that week. “I was really nervous,” says Kieron. “I was wondering what I should say, what I should do.”
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。
As he waited outside the shop, he heard someone call his name.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One of Vincent’s concerns was that Kieron might hate his birth family for placing him for adoption.

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。
Kieron Graham always knew he had an older brother. His adoption papers, signed and sealed when he was three months old, listed a sibling (兄弟姐妹) named Vincent but no last name. Though Kieron spent years thinking about Vincent, he could never track him down.
That changed in December 2017, when Kieron’s adoptive parents gave their four adopted children AncestryDNA tests (基因检测) as Christmas gifts. Kieron, now 21, sent his saliva (唾液) sample in for analysis. When his results came back, he was amazed to find he had a lot of DNA matches for relatives who had also taken the test. Most were distant connections, but one match was so strong that it was labeled “close family”. His name was Vincent Ghant. Kieron looked for him on Facebook and soon made a possible connection. “This is going to sound so wild— but I think you’re my brother,” Kieron wrote on Facebook’s Messenger app.
“I was given up for adoption in 1997 and it says on my paperwork that my mother has a son with your name and your birth date. Her name is Shawn.”
“OMG do you know your real name ” wrote Vincent, now 30.
“I think it was Tyler.”
“OMG YES!!! You are my brother.”
“Wow,” wrote Kieron.
“This is crazy,” said Vincent.
The craziness was just beginning. As they talked, the brothers realized they lived about 20 minutes from each other, outside of Atlanta. More mind-blowing (令人震惊的), they attended the same university and majored and minored in the same subjects: political science and legal studies.
“We might be separated our entire lives and then end up at the same school with the same interests ” says Kieron.
Vincent was nine when Kieron was born and remembers caring for his baby brother. But times were tough, and Shawn, who worked 15-plus hours a day as a nurse, decided that placing Kieron for adoption would give him the best chance to succeed.
Now the brothers had the chance to make up for lost time. They decided to meet at a local tea shop that week. “I was really nervous,” says Kieron. “I was wondering what I should say, what I should do.”
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。
As he waited outside the shop, he heard someone call his name.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One of Vincent’s concerns was that Kieron might hate his birth family for placing him for adoption.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As he waited outside the shop he heard someone call his name. No sooner had he turned around than he found a person who was similar to him. Seized by a wave of excitement, he walked quickly to that man, waved at him and said “Nice to meet you!” Holding his hand tightly, the man, Vincent, embraced Kieron and said “Long time no see, my brother.” They went to the shop and sat down, talking about their lives happily. But it seemed that Vincent had some concerns.
One of Vincent’s concerns was that Kieron might hate his birth family for placing him for adoption. But Kieron said that he had already forgiven their mother, who was also living a poor life at that time. “I spent years thinking about you, but I could never track you down.” said Kieron. “But we’re together now.” Vincent smiled, whose words made Kieron feel warm. At that moment, they decided to visit their mom the next day, and for the first time, Kieron and Vincent felt that they were siblings. Sunlight brightened them, as if it were celebrating their reunion.

Living for 97 years is an impressive achievement in and of itself. Most people hitting this milestone are probably thankful for the health they have and the memories they’ve made. In the case of TV host and conservationist Sir David Attenborough, he can reflect on a life of advocacy in service for our planet. The British icon turned an impressive 97 on May 8, 2023. Born in 1926, Attenborough has spent most of his life on camera for the BBC covering animals and natural history. Today, despite his age, he is still an active campaigner for our planet.
Attenborough, who received a degree in natural sciences from Cambridge University, joined the BBC full-time in 1952. He travelled around the world with his Zoo Quest programme, highlighting different creatures. Afterwards, he created his iconic series Life on Earth in 1979. Since then, he has created and starred in countless programmes which have brought nature closer to viewers around the world.
His recent documentary with World Wildlife Fund, David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet, often returns to a theme which has dominated in Attenborough’s later work. He reflects on just how much the environment has changed in his decades of observation and how swiftly time is running out before further serious damage can be prevented. This programme was widely streamed and considered a “wake up call” for the world. While Attenborough is far from the first or only voice to raise this call, his reach as a respected and powerful figure within the BBC provides a useful platform.
Although he has received countless awards, Attenborough has used recent accolades (荣誉) as a chance to focus once more on the planet. Shortly after winning the Champions of the Earth Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022, he sent an urgent message about the state of the planet to all viewers in Frozen Planet II. Even after his 97th birthday, he continues to write and speak on preserving the UK and the world for future generations.
4 What does Sir David Attenborough spend all his life on
A. Taking photos using a camera. B. Creating countless programmes.
C. Protecting the earth. D. Observing different creatures.
5. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A. His learning and work experiences.
B. His achievements in natural science.
C. His programmes on protecting nature.
D. His iconic series on different creatures.
6. Based on paragraph 3, what can we know about Sir David Attenborough
A. He is the first to appeal to people to protect the environment.
B. He is an influential figure highly thought of.
C. He reflects on how much damage can be prevented.
D. He spends decades in observing endangered animals.
7. Which words can best describe Sir David Attenborough
A. Optimistic and self-centered. B. Dependent and hard-working.
C. Warm-hearted and humorous. D. Determined and devoted.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
C
Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth’s history—a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting (漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go
The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up in Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments (碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia.
Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together.
Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find Marsupials and cockatoos— animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations.
The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the fragility of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.
8. What is the purpose of paragraph one
A. To explain a concept. B. To advocate a culture.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To confirm an assumption.
9. Why does the author mention Africa and South America in paragraph 3
A. To remind scientists of piecing them together.
B. To explain how Argoland broke off by comparison.
C. To show how difficult for scientists to find Argoland.
D. To show how scientists located Argoland.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The source of different species.
B. The process of Argoland disappearing.
C. The measure about searching for Argoland.
D. The importance of continuing to trace the continents.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Argoland: the wonder of species.
B. Argoland: the reappearance of a lost land.
C. Continents: the proof of fragility of life.
D. Continents: the reminder of protection to the world.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
D
According to a new study described by researchers as a global breakthrough, plants are not as silent as we once thought they were. They do make sounds, particularly when injured or stressed — just not ones that we can hear with our ears. Researchers recorded and analyzed sounds produced by plants and discovered that they can give off clicking sounds at a volume similar to human speech, but too high for human ears to pick it up.
In order to seclude the plants to ensure that any sound picked up by recording equipment could only be coming from the plants and not the atmosphere around them, researchers at Tel Aviv University placed plants in an acoustic (声学的) box in an environment with no background noise. The plant types used in this study were mainly tomato and tobacco plants. Researchers used recording equipment capable of picking up frequencies between 20 and 250 kilohertz, reaching more than 15 times higher than the maximum frequency the average adult can hear.
In the greenhouse setting, they also recorded a group of tomato and tobacco plants as they grew increasingly dehydrated (脱水的), and found that their sound outpost increased steadily for the following four to five days after being watered, and then decreased. Essentially, the thirstier the plants got, the louder they complained — until they reached a certain critical stage of dehydration, at which point their voices quieted as they dried up. The researchers also found that dehydrated tomato and tobacco plants produced an average of about 35 and 11 sounds per hour, respectively. Cut tomato and tobacco plants made 25 and 15 noises per hour. Healthy plants, on the other hand, produced far fewer sounds, at less than one per hour.
Recording these sounds could help inform farmers about which of their crops are most in need of water, allowing for more precise irrigation, which could be a step forward for agriculture. “When more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, efficient water use becomes even more critical for food security. We believe that humans can use this information, given the right tools — such as sensors that tell growers when plants need watering,” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from the School of Plant Sciences and Food Security at the Wise Faculty of Life Sciences.
12. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph one
A. To state research methods.
B. To present research findings.
C. To clarify the purposes of the research.
D. To explain the significance of the research.
13. What does the underlined word “seclude” in paragraph two probably mean
A. Protect B. Develop C. separate D. Discover
14. What do we know about the experiment
A. Plants make sounds more frequently for lack of water.
B. Cut plants produce louder sounds than dehydrated ones.
C. Sounds coming from plants are hard to pick up by devices.
D. Plants produce few sounds in the greenhouse environment.
15. Which of the following would LiLach Hadany agree with
A. Humans have the duty to consider climate change.
B. Plants have ability to adapt to drought.
C. Water is not a key to food security.
D. The new study is worthy of applying to agriculture.
