With so many things to do and wonderful places to see, choosing how you travel around New Zealand is very important. Choosing transport in New Zealand depends on how quickly you want to get from one place to the next and how much you want to see on your journey.
Self-drive
See the sights at your own speed and rent a car or motorhome to travel around New Zealand. We have a range of trip plans to make planning your road trip easy and help you see the best that New Zealand has to offer in the time you have. Use a tool to work out driving times and distances. You can also rent bikes or motorbikes.
Bus and coach
If you would prefer that someone else does the driving, there are guided coach tours ranging from day trips to multi-day plans. Or you can use the nationwide bus network to travel between regions. New Zealand’s bigger cities have hop-on hop-off bus experiences for an easy way to see the sights, as well as public bus networks.
Plane
Flights can be found right around New Zealand, from the Far North down to Stewart Island in the south and some outlying islands. Booking flights within the country is easy and there are airports in the major cities and throughout the regions.
Rail
Travelling by rail gives you a front-row view of amazing scenery which can’t be seen from the road or the sky. There are three main scenic rail journeys in New Zealand, crossing the North and South Islands. There are also some rail services connecting the regions and local city trains within Wellington and Auckland.
21. What affects transport choice in New Zealand

If we need to select a key expression for recent years, “weight management” could be the most popular one. Designed to encourage healthy living habits among staff workers, a “million-yuan weight loss” activity started by Shenzhen-based technology company Insta360 has attracted public attention. The company is offering all employees who register 500 yuan in cash for every half kilogram they lose.
This year, a post-2000s employee surnamed Xie signed up for the activity and lost 20 kilograms in just 90 days, earning 20,000 yuan in cash and winning the title of “weight-loss champion.” Xie said that during the competition she strictly controlled her diet and exercised for an hour and a half every day, finally achieving an amazing change.
When asked how she stayed determined and whether she had considered giving up, she smiled and said, “I think now is the best time in my life to become the best I can be — not just for beauty, but also for health.” She also shared actor Qin Hao’s weight-loss method in the company group chat to encourage colleagues caught in a stop with their weight loss.
Since the event began, the company’s “million-yuan weight loss” challenge has been held for seven rounds, awarding about 2 million yuan in total prizes. Over the past year, 99 employees have taken part, losing a total of 950 kilograms and sharing 1 million yuan in cash rewards. “We hope the ‘million-yuan weight loss’ challenge promotes healthy living and encourages employees to pay more attention to their health outside of work. It’s also a way to inspire everyone to face work and life with a positive attitude,” the event organizer said.
The challenge also includes a “betting” rule — participants who regain weight must pay 800 yuan for each half kilogram gained. So far, no one has regained weight and been penalized, Nanfang Daily reported.
24. What is the purpose of the “million-yuan weight loss” campaign
A. To make Insta360 famous.

South Africa is attracting more Chinese tourists with its unique travel experiences. Visitors can track lions and leopards from an open safari vehicle, see whales jump out of the ocean, and watch cute penguins walk along the beach. “It’s exciting to see these wild animals. I escaped the busy city life and felt the power of life,” said Wu Qian, a Beijing office worker, who recently visited the country.
According to South African Tourism, the number of Chinese visitors to South Africa in 2024 reached 41,651, showing an 11.4 percent year-on-year growth. From January to May this year, 17,431 Chinese tourists arrived in South Africa, with a 1.1 percent year-on-year growth.
To attract more Chinese tourists, South Africa started the Trusted Tour Operator Scheme in February to make visa applications easier and faster. A total of 47 Chinese travel agencies have joined the program. They can apply for visas online and get them within 24 hours. This is one of South Africa’s strategies to welcome more Chinese visitors, along with adding more flights.
“China is an important and the fastest-growing tourist source market for South Africa,” says Patricia, South Africa’s minister of tourism. She believes that the growth of Chinese tourists will help the South African tourism industry recover. According to her, special services are available for high-end tourists, family travelers, and study tour groups. Beyond famous attractions like wildlife reserves and Table Mountain, South Africa also offers rich food culture and historical heritage.
South Africa is also attracting Chinese tourists through Chinese social media platforms by inviting Chinese famous people, influencers and South Africans living in China to create content. Recently, the tourism authority shared short videos online about actor Lei Jiayin’s travel experience in South Africa, announcing that he is the ambassador (大使) for the country’s tourism.
28. How does the author develop paragraph 2

D. South Africa’s Rich Food Culture and Historical Heritage

For years, people have wondered where potatoes come from. Recently, scientists have made a surprising discovery. They found that an ancient genetic (基因的) mix about 9 million years ago created the potato, which is now the world’s third-largest food crop. Amazingly, the tomato has been discovered as the “mother” of the potato.
The study was done by a research team from the Agricultural Genomics Institute in Shenzhen. They worked with a researcher from Lanzhou University and scientists from Canada and the U.K.
Their findings show that the potato came from an ancient mix between a tomato plant and a potato-like species about 9 million years ago. This gene mixing also led to the development of a new part: the tuber (块茎). Published in the top journal Cell, these findings offer a new idea for the genetic breeding of potatoes.
Potatoes, the world’s most important tuber crop, are native to South America. Because they are healthy and can grow in many different conditions, they have spread worldwide.
Huang Sanwen, the study’s lead author, explained that the origin of potatoes had long been a scientific mystery. To solve this mystery, the research team studied the genes of 101 different potatoes and 349 more samples from farmed potatoes and 56 wild potato species. This was like doing a huge DNA test for all potatoes. They discovered that all potatoes examined carried stable, balanced mix of genes from both Etuberosum (a wild potato-like plant) and the tomato plant. This led them to conclude that potatoes are the mixed “children” of these two species.
To confirm this idea, the team figured out when the three species separated. Their results showed that Etuberosum and tomato started to separate around 14 million years ago. Then, 5 million years later, they mixed together. This event led to the earliest potato plants that could grow tubers around 9 million years ago.
32. What led to the creation of the potato
A. An ancient natural gene mixing. B. Human agricultural activities.
C. The change of growing conditions. D. Its worldwide spread as a crop.
33. What do we know about the tuber
A. It makes the potato healthy. B. It is the largest part of the plant.
C. It existed in tomato plants long ago. D. It appeared after a certain gene mixing.
34. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. A huge DNA test on potatoes. B. The two parent plants of potatoes.
C. The number of potatoes used in the study. D. The process of solving a scientific mystery.
35. Where can you probably find the text
A. In a novel. B. In a history book.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a tourist brochure.

67. 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。
After I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school. On the way, the morning breeze brushing my cheeks like a friendly hello, I kept wondering what my new teachers would be like — maybe strict but kind, or funny and easy to talk to
The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. Anxious and excited, I told myself, “Lee, you will have a good beginning.” Some birds singing, I walked past the gym and stopped to look at the noticeboard. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here ” Turning around suddenly, I crashed straight into someone. Then I heard the sound of a cup hitting the ground, and immediately saw the spilled coffee. Looking up, my face burning, I saw a handsome and young man with brown hair. His clean white shirt now had a dark brown mark, and it was spreading across his chest. “Oh, no!” I yelped. All the excitement about the new day disappeared, replaced by panic (惊慌)。
He quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe up the coffee stain on the floor. “It’s all right,” he said, “accidents happen.” I froze there, forgetting to help, “I... I am terribly sorry. I was just wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.” He picked up the pieces of the cup and said goodbye to me.
How true his words were! When my head teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same handsome man I had met earlier.
“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first. My family name is Brown....” Hearing his words, my heart began to beat wildly.
注意：1. 续写词数应150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start.

My words made everyone laugh and all eyes turned to Mr Brown’s white shirt.
