Wonderful Places in the World to Travel to in 2025
EASTERN & ORIENTAL EXPRESS, MALAYSIA
Why Go Now: Ride the rails in style
After a four-year break, the Eastern & Oriental Express, by luxury train operator Belmond, returned to service in 2024 with an exciting facelift. Two regular routes offer three-night journeys out of Singapore. The “Wild Malaysia” trip, created in collaboration with the conservation group Save Wild Tigers, visits Taman Negara National Park, where guests can take a wildlife photography class.
SURU VALLEY, INDIA
Why Go Now: Climb the world’s next big destination
Rock climbing is on the rise in India; Local enthusiasts are developing new routes across the country, including in the splendid Suru Valley. Join climbers from across the globe at the annual Suru Outdoor Fest in August and September to tackle some 500 boulder problems, warming up with morning yoga and winding down with live music under the stars.
CERRADO, BRAZIL
Why Go Now: Birdwatch and track wolves
The vast Cerrado grassland supports 850 bird species and 12,000 plant species, but it has lost more than 40,000 square miles in the last decade. The Cerrado is disappearing before our eyes as a result of industrial agriculture and large-scale cattle ranching. Experience this unique place up close and support economic alternatives in the region by staying at Pousada Trijunc o; you can join guides in tracking the wolves across the grassland.
NORTHLAND, NEW ZEALAND
Why Go Now: Spot rare wildlife
International travelers landing in Auckland usually head south, but the little-visited Northland region has fascinating wildlife and warm waters that offer excellent diving. Many fish species in the reserve are found nowhere else in the country. On land, normally threatened kiwis are abundant thanks to more than 250 community-led conservation projects that aim to create the first protected reserve for New Zealand’s beloved national bird.
21. What’s the purpose of visiting the Eastern & Oriental Express
A. To promote regular trials. B. To appreciate a national park.
C. To experience a train ride. D. To improve photography skills.
22. Where can you participate in physical exercise outdoors
A. In Malaysia. B. In India. C. In Brazil. D. In New Zealand.
23. Which of the following is featured in both Cerrado and Northland
A. The loss of natural habitats. B. The sight of abundant wildlife.
C. The use of industrial chemicals. D. The increase of reserve projects.

Back in my teaching days, while I was preparing to move from one preschool to another, the director of the school I was leaving asked me what I noticed when I went to visit my new program. The answer came to me right away. “The kids were all barefoot,” I said.
The teachers around me looked confused, particularly those who worked with me in the nursing room. After all, we spent a significant amount of each day forcing these kids to keep their shoes on, a rule designed to prevent injury.
When I got to my new school, I realized I had a lot of learning to do. Many of the rules that I had long enforced at other schools became more flexible. Want to run inside and climb on furniture No problem — we have a climbing room full of carpeted tunnels, slides, and ladders, so you can do just that. Want to summit a slide like a mountain Let me spot you from the side. Getting bored with the same old playground toys Let’s head to the woods nearby to enjoy an endless supply of rocks, sticks, and leaves.
To my surprise, injuries didn’t seem to be more frequent. Over time, I came to appreciate this program’s philosophy and learned to trust that kids could be safe while exploring freely. The Norwegians see this philosophy as a long-term investment in community.
I started to think differently about my own role. My job wasn’t only to protect my students from harm; it was also to help them deal with challenging situations. It might seem that many aspects of Norway’s approach to early childhood learning would be difficult to carry out in the United States, given some of the current problems around education. But if we keep an open mind, Norway might just hold lessons for us all.
24. Why did the teachers feel confused at what the author said
A. They knew little about new programs. B. They heard of the sharp differences.
C. They were free to make decisions. D. They were forced to make rules.
25. What did the “Question & Answer” sentences in Paragraph 3 indicate
A. Teachers worked under pressure. B. New rules were set in the program.
C. The school didn’t have strict rules. D. Students’ needs were well satisfied.
26. What did the author think of this program’s philosophy
A. She was supportive of it. B. She was hesitant about it.
C. She was curious about it. D. She was worried about it.
27. What’s the text mainly about
A. Importance of accepting diversities. B. Philosophy to teach kids to be flexible.
C. Education to offer limitless opportunities. D. Comparison of different educational systems.
C
Most birds go for ease when looking for drinking water. But the sulfur-crested cockatoos in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, often prefer to quench their thirst (止渴) with a challenging puzzle.
In the city’s western suburbs, some of the birds have figured out how to use public drinking fountains. The cockatoos skilfully use one foot to twist the handle open while their other claw presses the spout (出水口).
It’s unclear why the cockatoos go to the effort of using drinking fountains when there are plenty of accessible water sources nearby. They don’t seem to use them more often during hot weather.
One possible explanation is that the task of operating the fountains is simply more fun than drinking water from the local streams.
“If you’re not dying of thirst, then why not do something you enjoy ” said Barbara C. Klump, an author of a study of the birds published on Wednesday in the journal Biology Letters, and a behavioral ecologist at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany.
To find out, Dr. Klump and her colleagues tagged 24 birds from a population of as many as 150 living in a reserve in Western Sydney. They installed cameras in front of drinking fountains to catch the birds in action.
The cockatoos attempted to use the drinking fountains more than 500 times during 44 days. While male cockatoos were better at flipping open heavy garbage-bin lids than females in earlier studies, both sexes were equally expert at operating the drinking fountains.
Dr. Klump and her colleagues are taking a closer look at the behavior, such as how long it takes the cockatoos to master the skill. The researchers are also curious to know what the cockatoos will do next.
“I’d love to learn more about what else they have up their sleeves,” Dr. Klump said.
28. What puzzles the author according to Paragraph 1
A. The way the cockatoos seek water. B. The fact that the cockatoos lack water.
C. The weather of the suburbs of Sydney. D. The challenge cockatoos have in surviving.
29. Why does Dr. Klump think the cockatoos turn to drinking fountains
A. They do it for fun. B. They’re really thirsty.
C. They prove to be smart. D. They’re tired of old sources.
30. What can be inferred about the tagged cockatoos
A. 150 birds were tested in a reserve. B. cameras were installed on the birds.
C Female cockatoos are skillful as well. D. It takes them time to master new skills.
31. Where can you most probably read the text
A. In a fashion magazine. B. In a biology textbook.
C. In an education brochure. D. On a news website.
D
The printed book is back. Recent studies have shown that students store more information when they read a hard-copy book, compared to reading on a digital device.
I love the way we now judge printed books using the language of the digital world. E-books may come with a set of navigational (导航的) tools, but it turns out that the best navigational devices are your forefinger and thumb. You can use them to turn over the pages forward and backward. To think, all this time, those devices have just been sitting there, moving freely at the end of your arm.
Fans of digital books may point out that e-readers have a handy “search” tool. Old-fashioned books also have a search function, in which you turn back to the opening chapter to remind yourself of the hero’s surname. They even have a “bookmark system”, which uses a device called a “bookmark”.
Admittedly, e-books are lighter than paper volumes, but one must question whether this is really an advantage. In secondary school my body shape was changed by the daily need to carry science textbooks. For me and my fellow students, placing these weighty books in our backpacks would draw our shoulders back and our chests forward in a way that turned the school into the equivalent of a military parade ground.
The printed book, of course, has other advantages. A full bookshelf is at once a sound baffle (隔板) and a store of knowledge. It’s a map of your life as a reader: the passions that passed and those that endured. There are books that introduced you to other books, like friends at a party, and books that nursed you through difficult times.
Educational crazes come and go, so maybe the shift back to traditional books won’t last. But for the moment, I find myself standing at attention, flexing my textbook-built shoulders and saluting their glorious return.
32. How did the author develop the text
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By offering explanations. D. By interviewing readers.
33. What do the underlined words “those devices” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Tools. B. Fingers. C. Fans. D. E-books.
34. What’s the author’s attitude toward hard-copy books
A. Critical. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Neutral.
35. What’s a suitable title for the text
A. Hard-copy Books: A Way of Life to Cherish the Past
B. E-books: A Trend in Keeping up with Modern Education
C. How Digital Devices Take the Place of Traditional Books
D. Why Printed Books Are Simply Better Than E-Readers

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。
Thanksgiving, to me, used to mean a long weekend, turkey and football. Now, however, it has become my favorite holiday because of a tradition at my community that has taught me to literally count my blessings.
For years, I had suffered from depression. I never seemed to be happy with my life, especially when I would compare it to someone else’s. Everybody always appeared to be more successful than I was, and I would frequently feel I was not measuring up to either my own potential or the world’s expectations.
Then, I started attending community services. Every year, they have an evening service on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Two things happen every time — the food drive and The List.
The week before the Thanksgiving service, every chair in the community center has a paper bag underneath it for people to fill with food to be donated. Then, a team of volunteers places all the filled bags at the front of the hall. It is quite a sight!
Besides, there was a sheet with blanks numbered 1 to 100. At the top, it says, “My friend, I thank you for...” I looked at my blank list, wondering how I would ever be able to think of 100 things I was thankful for. I figured I could probably do ten or twelve, but 100
Then I heard some kids next to me challenge each other to a race to see who could fill in all 100 the fastest. My competitive nature kicked in. So I started filling in blanks with anything I could think of — big things, little things, serious things and silly ones. I tried to think of any situation in my life where I had ever said, “Thank you.” To my own astonishment, I completely filled in the list in four minutes. Then I stuck it in my purse and forgot about it because the service was about to end.
One day not long afterward, I was feeling particularly sorry for myself for no good reason. I found myself sinking into my familiar emotional issues when I remembered the list.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took it out and read through it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I carried my list with me every day in my purse.
