A
We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful natural attractions on the European continent, which are perfect for those who love to travel around the world. We’re sure they will take your breath away.
Capri’s Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.
The Tuscan Countryside
Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.
Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher
The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold — the rugged cliffs rise up 214m high from the water and are 7km long. With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.
21. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto
A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting.
C. Because of the deep water. D. Because of a lot of invisible rapids.
22. What makes the Tuscan countryside appealing
A. Bare trees. B. Colorful lights.
C. Rich night life. D. Peaceful rural scenery.
23. What do the last two attractions both show
A. The mystery of stone caves. B. The power of natural forces.
C. The history of local cultures. D. The steepness of attractive cliffs.
B
A Texas school principal inspires thousands after personally writing handwritten letters to graduates — one for every senior at Mansfield Summit High School in Arlington. Each of the 443 personalized notes came with a $1 bill, turning the gesture into more than words on paper — it symbolized kindness, hope, and encouragement.
The letters, written by Principal Jason Mutterer, weren’t just a graduation gift — they were a lasting reminder to students that they are seen, valued, and loved. His message was simple: One small act of kindness can change a life.
The idea to write handwritten letters to graduates came from a personal memory that left a lasting impression on Principal Mutterer. He recalled receiving a note from his high school government teacher — a note he still keeps. Back then, everyone expected him to follow in his family’s footsteps as a fifth-generation farmer. But that one letter from his teacher changed everything. It gave him a new vision for his life and pushed him to pursue college.
This experience planted the seed for what would become his heartfelt tradition. For this longtime school principal, each note was a way to pass on that same encouragement to his students. For many students, it was a total surprise. One of the graduates, Andrea Lozada, said the principal thanked her for her work in the girls’ track program in the letter. She said,“ Most principals don’t usually show up for student events, but Mr Mutterer is different. He is there at games, performances, and award ceremonies, cheering students on.”
The handwritten letters were more than a thoughtful graduation gift — they carried a mission. Principal Mutterer included a $1 bill in each envelope, symbolizing a simple act of generosity. The idea was to encourage every graduate to pay it forward.
“If 443 kids do random acts of kindness every day, it will have a huge impact on our society,” he concluded. These personalized notes weren’t just keepsakes — they were a challenge. A challenge to use kindness to uplift others, just as that teacher once lifted him.
24. What can we infer about Principal Mutterer’s original life plan
A. He planned to start a business. B. He dreamed of running a school.
C. He expected to become a teacher. D. He was expected to take up agriculture.
25. Which word can best describe Principal Mutterer’s letters according to Andrea
A. Personalized. B. Confusing. C. Alarming. D. Flowered.
26. Why does Principal Mutterer include $1 bill in the letter
A. To fund students’ life. B. To show his generosity.
C. To support students’ education. D. To inspire kindness in students.
27. Which can best replace the underlined word “keepsakes” in the last paragraph
A. signals B. properties C. reminders D. journals
C
The return of knitting (编织) and other “grandma’s hobbies” among young people is not just about remembering the past or taking a break from screens. Studies show that these slow, hands-on activities are good for our brains. They help improve memory, focus, movement control, and even help us manage stress. Hobbies like knitting, wood carving, or building models are an easy way for anyone, at any age, to keep their brain healthy.
Knitting is special because it trains your brain in multiple ways at once. It involves precise finger control, creative planning, and steady rhythm using both hands. This two-handed motion is calming, like some therapy (疗法) techniques. It reduces stress, boosts “feel-good” brain chemicals, and improves emotional control. A Harvard brain expert says knitting activates the brain’s reward system, enhancing focus and potentially slowing memory decline with age. Unlike the instant rewards from digital media, knitting provides a stable sense of achievement that is healthier for your brain. Moreover, the planning required strengthens brain connections, keeping your mind flexible over time.
The biggest benefit for your brain comes from learning something new, not just doing the activity itself. The key is newness. When your brain faces an unfamiliar challenge, it builds new pathways, which makes it stronger. Once you master a skill, it becomes relaxing, but to keep your brain growing, you need to keep giving it new challenges. The challenge doesn’t have to be big — it just has to be new to you.
Keeping brain-stimulating hobbies throughout life is crucial, as brain health can begin declining long before symptoms appear. For older adults, such activities serve as gentle mental exercise — strengthening neural connections and compensating for natural cell loss. Participating in groups adds social benefits that combat loneliness and stress, particularly during major transitions like retirement. Research confirms practitioners feel happier and more satisfied. These benefits even extend to those with brain conditions, proving it’s never too late to start a hobby that supports overall well-being.
28. What benefit can one get from hands-on hobbies
A. Enhancing social skills. B. Providing total digital escape.
C. Boosting long-term brain health. D. Strengthening memories for others.
29. What matters most for brain improvement
A. How often you practice. B. How long each session lasts.
C. Whether you do it with others. D. Whether the task is new to you.
30. What is the main conclusion about brain-stimulating hobbies
A. They are only effective before old age. B. They can be beneficial at any stage of life.
C. They mainly help those with brain diseases. D. They must be practiced alone to be effective.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Knitting Your Way to a Healthier Brain B. How to Choose the Right Brain Exercise
C. Why Young People Need Traditional Hobbies D. Grandma’s Hobbies: Fun Pastimes for Seniors
D
Birds change their behaviour and become more aggressive (富于攻击性的) when exposed to traffic noise, research suggests.
Experts at Anglia Ruskin University(ARU)examined the impact of vehicle noise pollution on yellow warblers (莺) in the Galapagos Islands. They found songbirds living in roadside areas showed increased aggression compared with those in quieter areas as too much sound affected their communication. ARU senior lecturer Dr Caglar Akcay said the results highlighted the significant impact humans had on wildlife and hoped it would help improve conservation efforts.
Researchers simulated an intruder (侵入者) by playing birdsong from a speaker at 38 locations populated by the birds. 20 sites were within 50 m of the nearest road and 18 were more than100 m away. They then measured birdsong — typically used to ward off intruders — and physical, aggressive behaviours such as approaching the speaker closely and making repeated flights across it.
Researchers found if outside noise such as traffic interfered with the birdsong, it blocked their way of communication, increasing their aggression. It was found that even minimal levels of traffic could cause such aggressive responses.
The birds also increased the minimum frequencies of their songs during the noise experiments, no matter how close their area was to the road, to make sure they could be heard over the low-frequency traffic noise.
“Our study shows the importance of considering how animals change their behaviour in conservation efforts and developing strategies to soften the effects of noise pollution on wildlife,” Dr Akcay said. “The results highlighted the significant impact human activities on wildlife behaviour, even in relatively remote locations such as the Galapagos Islands and would help improve conservation efforts.”
32. What is the main finding of the ARU research
A. Birds prefer to live near roads. B. Traffic noise makes birds more aggressive.
C. Birds have learned to adapt to vehicle sounds. D. Human activities help improve bird communication.
33. How did the researchers measure bird aggression
A. By analyzing different birds’ songs. B. By measuring traffic noise levels.
C. By observing birds’ reaction to recorded songs. D. By making more noise from vehicles near roads.
34. Why did birds increase the minimum frequencies of their songs
A. To improve mating success. B. To scare away other species.
C. To signal danger to their group. D. To avoid mixing with traffic noise.
35. What is Dr Akcay’s attitude to the findings of the research
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Cautious.

A Guide to Self-improvement
We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! ____36____ Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action.
Practice mindfulness daily. ____37____ Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts.
____38____ This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.
Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. ____39____ A shared journey makes goals more motivating.
Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day. ____40____
Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave, mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself.
A. You can get a friend’s support.
B. Try extreme sport once in a while.
C. Say “yes” to something that scares you.
D. Mental health is as important as physical health.
E. Your progress each day is not significant enough.
F. The goal is to explore and grow, not to master it.

Weiqi, a game ____56____ (value) for both its strategic depth and cultural meaning, is an ancient Chinese board game where players often face not only technical challenges but also ethical ones.

A typical dilemma occurs when one deliberately plays a move that doesn’t work — hoping the opponent will fail to punish it.

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。
It was Chuck’s personal decision to leave the foster (寄养的) care system once he was able. Although he loved his foster parents dearly, he chose not to get adopted legally to save his foster parents the money it would cost. After all, knowing they loved him was more than enough for him.
Chuck really did his best in school, keeping his promise. He studied law and was motivated to become a good lawyer after he graduated.
After becoming a licensed lawyer, he started working for a top law firm. He worked his way up from a junior attorney (律师) to a partner in the firm. However, he eventually lost touch with his foster parents. Although they exchanged letters at first, his work gradually made it difficult to stay in touch, and eventually, their communication stopped completely.
It had been ten years since he last saw his foster parents. Chuck had a client in the city where he grew up, so he decided to drop in on his old home. He realized it was about time he visited his foster parents, so he took a day off to spend time with them. But what greeted him there was totally unexpected.
Apart from a messy lawn, he could hardly see the white paint on the walls which had been entirely covered in vines (藤蔓). As he walked towards the front door, he even wondered if anyone still lived there.
Chuck knocked at the door. After a couple of seconds, his foster dad opened the door. “Chuck ” he called out. “Is that you ”
“Dad,” he said, embracing him tightly. “What happened here Are you alright Where’s Mom and brother Ivan ” he asked. He had so many questions running through his head, and he wanted answers.
“Come in, son. I can’t believe you made it home. How long has it been 10 years ” he said, bringing his foster son inside the house. “Honey, it’s Chuck! Chuck is home!” he called out to his wife.
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。
As soon as his foster mom came out of the kitchen, Chuck’s heart sank.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Chuck returned with good news.
