The global tourism industry is changing in 2025. Many new and special tourist attractions are appearing to meet travelers’ needs. They show new trends in technology, environmental protection and culture.
Iceland Volcano and Glacier Adventure Park (Iceland)
Iceland Volcano and Glacier Adventure Park brings together the volcanoes on the Reykjanes Peninsula and the ice views of Vatnaj kull Glacier. Its most famous feature is the “zero-carbon hiking route”, which gets all its power from geothermal energy (a clean energy from the earth). This is very attractive to visitors who care about the environment.
Chang’an 12 Hours Theme Block (Xi’an, China)
In Xi’an, China, the Chang’an 12 Hours Theme Block was updated in 2025. It uses advanced technologies like holographic projection which makes pictures look real and blockchain. Holographic projection lets tourists feel like they are in the Tang Dynasty. Blockchain brings back ancient trade in a new way. It also offers joint tickets with five Central Asian countries for global travelers.
Amazon Forest Hotel (Brazil)
This hotel in the Amazon Rainforest uses power from the sun. In 2025, it added a ”nature lab”. Here, tourists can work with scientists to study and record animals that are in danger. The information they get is sent to a group that works to protect nature around the world. Its “Rainforest Night Dinner” also uses traditional ways of cooking from people who live in the forest.
Venice Underwater Art Museum (Italy)
This museum was built because water levels are getting higher. Its art pieces are under water and look different when the water moves. For the 2025 special show, it used special materials that are good for sea life to rebuild old buildings. Part of the money from tickets goes to projects that protect the sea and the land next to it.
21. Which attraction would be most suitable for a tourist interested in technology

B. Venice Underwater Art Museum.
C. Amazon Forest Hotel.
D. Changan 12 Hours Theme Block.

David Edgren and his family from the US have had a close connection with Taiyuan, a city in Shanxi province, China, for forty years. Their story is a beautiful example of how cultural exchanges can build lasting friendships.
It all began in 1984 when David, then a 42-year-old educator, made a big decision. He announced to his three children that they would move to China, where he had a job teaching English at Shanxi University. This came as a great surprise to the family. At that time, it was very unusual for an American family to make such a move. The news even appeared in their local newspaper, which wrote about David leaving his job to teach in a Chinese city that few Americans knew.
Life in Taiyuan presented challenges at first. “The weather was cold, and we sometimes had no power or water,” David recalled, “However, there were no difficulties as important as the kindness and warmth of the local people.” The family had only planned to stay for one year, but the experience left a deep mark on them. After returning to the US, David missed Taiyuan so much that he decided to go back. In 1989, with the support of all his children, he returned to Shanxi University to teach again with his wife.
The Edgrens became true pioneers of people-to-people exchange. David has since visited China over 40 times. More importantly, he has helped more than 50 other Americans including students, teachers, and professionals, to travel, study and teach in China. His son Andy, who was a teenager when they first moved, recently revisited Taiyuan. He wore a T-shirt with Chinese characters that read, “I am a Shanxi person,” showing their deep personal connection to the place. The family’s long-lasting friendship with China continues to inspire those who hear their story.
24. Why did David Edgren’s decision surprise his family
A. Because the story was reported by a local newspaper.
B. Because they did not want to leave their friends in the US.
C. Because they thought China was too far away from home.
D. Because it wasn’t a very common thing to do at that time.
25. What caused David Edgren to return to Taiyuan
A. An offer for a more important job there. B. The attraction of modern city life.
C. His children’s need to finish their studies. D. His memory of the kind people there.
26. Which of the following best describes David Edgren
A. Brave and helpful. B. Kind and strict.
C. Curious and funny. D. Humorous and positive.
27. What is the best title for this article
A. The Story of a Chinese City and Its Economic Growth.
B. An American Family’s Long Connection with China.
C. The Life and Work of an American Teacher in China.
D. A Personal Story About Cross-Cultural Understanding.

For many teenagers, Saturday mornings are for sleeping in. After a busy school week, the weekend is a chance to catch up on lost sleep. A new study suggests that sleeping a little longer on weekends can actually reduce anxiety — but only if teens don’t sleep more than two extra hours.
It seems reasonable to get as much sleep as possible on weekends. Sleep is important for both the brain and body, especially for young people. However, most American teens do not get the recommended eight to ten hours per night. School, homework, other weekday activities that require early rising and a natural biological clock that makes it hard to fall asleep before 11 p.m. are the main reasons.
Previous research had suggested that too much weekend sleep might be linked to depression, but the connection to anxiety was not clear. This made Sojeong Kim, a graduate student at the University of Oregon, curious to investigate. Kim used data from a large national study that tracks brain development in young people. She focused on nearly 1,900 participants aged 12 to 15, a period when sleep often becomes a problem. The teens wore activity trackers to record their sleep and answered questions about their anxiety levels.
The findings were clear. Teens who slept in on weekends reported the lowest anxiety, but only if they got less than two extra hours of sleep. Those who did not sleep in, or even lost sleep, had higher anxiety. Surprisingly, teens who slept more than two extra hours showed the highest levels of anxiety.
At a sleep conference where Kim presented her results, another expert, Christopher Depner, commented that the study shows a “possible link” but cannot prove cause and effect. He pointed out that this was an observational study. This means researchers only observed natural sleep habits without conducting an experiment. Future studies that will actively change sleep schedules are needed to confirm the results.
28. What mainly caused sleep problems for American teens
A. High anxiety and daily stress. B. Early-rising tasks and body clocks.
C. Poor sleep habits and lifestyles. D. Heavy homework and busy schedules.
29. What does the underlined word “tracks” mean in paragraph 3
A. Changes. B. Improves. C. Records. D. Remembers.
30. Which statement is supported by the research findings
A. Sleeping less on weekends reduces anxiety best.
B. Two extra hours of sleep is the perfect amount.
C. Too much weekend sleep can increase anxiety.
D. Weekday sleep is the main factor for anxiety.
31. What does Christopher Depner’s think about the findings
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
D
For years, buffet (自助餐) breakfast has been a sign of hotel luxury, offering guests all kinds of foods like pastries, fruits and hot dishes. Yet behind this seemingly rich display lies a worrying fact: a lot of food was wasted. The UNEP’s 2024 Food Waste Index Report shows the food service industry accounts for 28% of global food waste, with buffet breakfast among the most serious — each person wastes about 300 grams there, more than twice that of plated breakfast. Food waste, which brings heavy environmental costs, makes action necessary. As Jocelyn Doyle from the Sustainable Restaurant Association puts it, “Cutting food waste is a powerful way to make a difference — and breakfast is a smart place to start.”
Why is there so much waste at buffet breakfast Experts point out several reasons. First, the wide variety of dishes makes people want to try a little of each, so they easily take too much. Second, the fixed price makes guests think “eating more is a better deal”, so they take more on purpose. Besides, the “vacation mindset” when staying in a hotel makes people think that indulgence (放纵) is justified — they tell themselves, “I’m on holiday, so I deserve to treat myself.” This mindset reduces feelings of guilt associated with over-consumption or waste, even for those who are usually mindful of their environmental impact.
Now many hotels are finding ways to reduce waste without affecting guests’ experience. Some use small plates and pre-portioned yogurt; some put up tips like “Take only what you can eat”; others put light food first to adjust the buffet layout. These small methods can guide guests to take food wisely.
The meaning of “luxury” is also changing. Today, 84% of travelers value sustainability. For them, luxury is no longer about “more”, but about “quality” and “care”. Hotels like Six Senses and Aman have replaced traditional buffets with made-to-order meals. Big hotel chains like Hilton promise to cut food waste by 50% by 2030. They will also use AI to predict the number of diners and donate leftover food.
The traditional “food-piled” buffet breakfast may be disappearing, but a new breakfast experience is emerging — it is both enjoyable and responsible. By providing carefully prepared and non- wasted breakfast, hotels can help guests not only start a good day but also experience a new “luxury”.
32. How does the author introduce the problem of food waste in Para.1
A. By providing official numbers. B. By defining food service industry.
C. By giving wasted food examples. D. By quoting Jocelyn Doyle’s words.
33. What is the “vacation mindset” mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. People think a holiday is a time to eat more. B. People believe they deserve vacation treats.
C. People feel guilty about over-consuming. D. People forget the environmental influence on trips.
34. Which of the following best describes the methods hotels are using to deal with food waste
A. A strategic change from quantity to quality in service.
B. The complete industry-wide end of buffet breakfasts.
C. Predictive technology and a move to made-to-order dining.
D. A key focus on fresh food donation and cut for food waste.
35. What does the passage mainly want to tell us
A. Buffet breakfasts cause environment issues.
B. Travelers prefer sustainable hotel breakfasts.
C. Hotels cut buffet breakfast waste thoughtfully.
D. Luxury now means quality instead of quantity.

That New Year’s morning, the dining room felt unusually quiet as we stepped in — only Father sat at the table. “Where’s Mother ” we asked, glancing at the empty chairs. Just then, Mother hurried in, her brows furrowed (皱眉) with worry. She told us about a poor family living nearby: a mother still weak from illness, a newborn baby, and six other children, all struggling to get by with no enough food or warmth in the cold winter. “Would you kids be willing to give them your breakfast as a New Year’ s gift ” she asked softly, her eyes full of hope.
I hesitated (犹豫), my eyes fixed on the warm porridge and soft bread on the table. My stomach had already started growling with hunger. But my sisters reacted right away: Nan nodded eagerly, saying she was happy to help; Beth volunteered to take the food to their house; even little May held up her favorite “lassy pot” and offered to give it away. Feeling guilty (内疚的) for hesitating, I quickly spoke up, “I can carry the porridge!”
Soon, we put together a small team to help. Father fetched firewood and coal to keep them warm; Mother packed some warm clothes she had folded neatly; we kids took the breakfast we’ d just given up. The streets were still quiet on New Year’ s morning as we walked, and before long, we reached a shabby little house. Through the window, we could see the whole family huddling (蜷缩) under a thin quilt, their bodies shaking with cold.

The global tourism industry is changing in 2025. Many new and special tourist attractions are appearing to meet travelers’ needs. They show new trends in technology, environmental protection and culture.
Iceland Volcano and Glacier Adventure Park (Iceland)
Iceland Volcano and Glacier Adventure Park brings together the volcanoes on the Reykjanes Peninsula and the ice views of Vatnaj kull Glacier. Its most famous feature is the “zero-carbon hiking route”, which gets all its power from geothermal energy (a clean energy from the earth). This is very attractive to visitors who care about the environment.
Chang’an 12 Hours Theme Block (Xi’an, China)
In Xi’an, China, the Chang’an 12 Hours Theme Block was updated in 2025. It uses advanced technologies like holographic projection which makes pictures look real and blockchain. Holographic projection lets tourists feel like they are in the Tang Dynasty. Blockchain brings back ancient trade in a new way. It also offers joint tickets with five Central Asian countries for global travelers.
Amazon Forest Hotel (Brazil)
This hotel in the Amazon Rainforest uses power from the sun. In 2025, it added a ”nature lab”. Here, tourists can work with scientists to study and record animals that are in danger. The information they get is sent to a group that works to protect nature around the world. Its “Rainforest Night Dinner” also uses traditional ways of cooking from people who live in the forest.
Venice Underwater Art Museum (Italy)
This museum was built because water levels are getting higher. Its art pieces are under water and look different when the water moves. For the 2025 special show, it used special materials that are good for sea life to rebuild old buildings. Part of the money from tickets goes to projects that protect the sea and the land next to it.

David Edgren and his family from the US have had a close connection with Taiyuan, a city in Shanxi province, China, for forty years. Their story is a beautiful example of how cultural exchanges can build lasting friendships.
It all began in 1984 when David, then a 42-year-old educator, made a big decision. He announced to his three children that they would move to China, where he had a job teaching English at Shanxi University. This came as a great surprise to the family. At that time, it was very unusual for an American family to make such a move. The news even appeared in their local newspaper, which wrote about David leaving his job to teach in a Chinese city that few Americans knew.
Life in Taiyuan presented challenges at first. “The weather was cold, and we sometimes had no power or water,” David recalled, “However, there were no difficulties as important as the kindness and warmth of the local people.” The family had only planned to stay for one year, but the experience left a deep mark on them. After returning to the US, David missed Taiyuan so much that he decided to go back. In 1989, with the support of all his children, he returned to Shanxi University to teach again with his wife.
The Edgrens became true pioneers of people-to-people exchange. David has since visited China over 40 times. More importantly, he has helped more than 50 other Americans including students, teachers, and professionals, to travel, study and teach in China. His son Andy, who was a teenager when they first moved, recently revisited Taiyuan. He wore a T-shirt with Chinese characters that read, “I am a Shanxi person,” showing their deep personal connection to the place. The family’s long-lasting friendship with China continues to inspire those who hear their story.
24. Why did David Edgren’s decision surprise his family
A. Because the story was reported by a local newspaper.
B. Because they did not want to leave their friends in the US.
C. Because they thought China was too far away from home.
D. Because it wasn’t a very common thing to do at that time.
25. What caused David Edgren to return to Taiyuan
A. An offer for a more important job there. B. The attraction of modern city life.
C. His children’s need to finish their studies. D. His memory of the kind people there.
26. Which of the following best describes David Edgren
A. Brave and helpful. B. Kind and strict.
C. Curious and funny. D. Humorous and positive.
27. What is the best title for this article
A. The Story of a Chinese City and Its Economic Growth.
B. An American Family’s Long Connection with China.
C. The Life and Work of an American Teacher in China.
D. A Personal Story About Cross-Cultural Understanding.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. B
C
For many teenagers, Saturday mornings are for sleeping in. After a busy school week, the weekend is a chance to catch up on lost sleep. A new study suggests that sleeping a little longer on weekends can actually reduce anxiety — but only if teens don’t sleep more than two extra hours.
It seems reasonable to get as much sleep as possible on weekends. Sleep is important for both the brain and body, especially for young people. However, most American teens do not get the recommended eight to ten hours per night. School, homework, other weekday activities that require early rising and a natural biological clock that makes it hard to fall asleep before 11 p.m. are the main reasons.
Previous research had suggested that too much weekend sleep might be linked to depression, but the connection to anxiety was not clear. This made Sojeong Kim, a graduate student at the University of Oregon, curious to investigate. Kim used data from a large national study that tracks brain development in young people. She focused on nearly 1,900 participants aged 12 to 15, a period when sleep often becomes a problem. The teens wore activity trackers to record their sleep and answered questions about their anxiety levels.
The findings were clear. Teens who slept in on weekends reported the lowest anxiety, but only if they got less than two extra hours of sleep. Those who did not sleep in, or even lost sleep, had higher anxiety. Surprisingly, teens who slept more than two extra hours showed the highest levels of anxiety.
At a sleep conference where Kim presented her results, another expert, Christopher Depner, commented that the study shows a “possible link” but cannot prove cause and effect. He pointed out that this was an observational study. This means researchers only observed natural sleep habits without conducting an experiment. Future studies that will actively change sleep schedules are needed to confirm the results.
28. What mainly caused sleep problems for American teens
A. High anxiety and daily stress. B. Early-rising tasks and body clocks.
C. Poor sleep habits and lifestyles. D. Heavy homework and busy schedules.
29. What does the underlined word “tracks” mean in paragraph 3
A. Changes. B. Improves. C. Records. D. Remembers.
30. Which statement is supported by the research findings
A. Sleeping less on weekends reduces anxiety best.
B. Two extra hours of sleep is the perfect amount.
C. Too much weekend sleep can increase anxiety.
D. Weekday sleep is the main factor for anxiety.
31. What does Christopher Depner’s think about the findings
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A
D
For years, buffet (自助餐) breakfast has been a sign of hotel luxury, offering guests all kinds of foods like pastries, fruits and hot dishes. Yet behind this seemingly rich display lies a worrying fact: a lot of food was wasted. The UNEP’s 2024 Food Waste Index Report shows the food service industry accounts for 28% of global food waste, with buffet breakfast among the most serious — each person wastes about 300 grams there, more than twice that of plated breakfast. Food waste, which brings heavy environmental costs, makes action necessary. As Jocelyn Doyle from the Sustainable Restaurant Association puts it, “Cutting food waste is a powerful way to make a difference — and breakfast is a smart place to start.”
Why is there so much waste at buffet breakfast Experts point out several reasons. First, the wide variety of dishes makes people want to try a little of each, so they easily take too much. Second, the fixed price makes guests think “eating more is a better deal”, so they take more on purpose. Besides, the “vacation mindset” when staying in a hotel makes people think that indulgence (放纵) is justified — they tell themselves, “I’m on holiday, so I deserve to treat myself.” This mindset reduces feelings of guilt associated with over-consumption or waste, even for those who are usually mindful of their environmental impact.
Now many hotels are finding ways to reduce waste without affecting guests’ experience. Some use small plates and pre-portioned yogurt; some put up tips like “Take only what you can eat”; others put light food first to adjust the buffet layout. These small methods can guide guests to take food wisely.
The meaning of “luxury” is also changing. Today, 84% of travelers value sustainability. For them, luxury is no longer about “more”, but about “quality” and “care”. Hotels like Six Senses and Aman have replaced traditional buffets with made-to-order meals. Big hotel chains like Hilton promise to cut food waste by 50% by 2030. They will also use AI to predict the number of diners and donate leftover food.
The traditional “food-piled” buffet breakfast may be disappearing, but a new breakfast experience is emerging — it is both enjoyable and responsible. By providing carefully prepared and non- wasted breakfast, hotels can help guests not only start a good day but also experience a new “luxury”.
32. How does the author introduce the problem of food waste in Para.1
A. By providing official numbers. B. By defining food service industry.
C. By giving wasted food examples. D. By quoting Jocelyn Doyle’s words.
33. What is the “vacation mindset” mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. People think a holiday is a time to eat more. B. People believe they deserve vacation treats.
C. People feel guilty about over-consuming. D. People forget the environmental influence on trips.
34. Which of the following best describes the methods hotels are using to deal with food waste
A. A strategic change from quantity to quality in service.
B. The complete industry-wide end of buffet breakfasts.
C. Predictive technology and a move to made-to-order dining.
D. A key focus on fresh food donation and cut for food waste.
35. What does the passage mainly want to tell us
A. Buffet breakfasts cause environment issues.
B. Travelers prefer sustainable hotel breakfasts.
C. Hotels cut buffet breakfast waste thoughtfully.
D. Luxury now means quality instead of quantity.

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。
That New Year’s morning, the dining room felt unusually quiet as we stepped in — only Father sat at the table. “Where’s Mother ” we asked, glancing at the empty chairs. Just then, Mother hurried in, her brows furrowed (皱眉) with worry. She told us about a poor family living nearby: a mother still weak from illness, a newborn baby, and six other children, all struggling to get by with no enough food or warmth in the cold winter. “Would you kids be willing to give them your breakfast as a New Year’ s gift ” she asked softly, her eyes full of hope.
I hesitated (犹豫), my eyes fixed on the warm porridge and soft bread on the table. My stomach had already started growling with hunger. But my sisters reacted right away: Nan nodded eagerly, saying she was happy to help; Beth volunteered to take the food to their house; even little May held up her favorite “lassy pot” and offered to give it away. Feeling guilty (内疚的) for hesitating, I quickly spoke up, “I can carry the porridge!”
Soon, we put together a small team to help. Father fetched firewood and coal to keep them warm; Mother packed some warm clothes she had folded neatly; we kids took the breakfast we’ d just given up. The streets were still quiet on New Year’ s morning as we walked, and before long, we reached a shabby little house. Through the window, we could see the whole family huddling (蜷缩) under a thin quilt, their bodies shaking with cold.

【答案】读后续写范文：
Without a second thought, we all started to act. Father quickly lit a fire with the firewood and coal, and the cold room soon felt warmer. Mother gently wrapped the newborn in warm clothes, while the sick mother’s eyes filled with tears of gratitude. I handed the porridge to the children — they grabbed the bowls eagerly, their faces lighting up with joy. Beth helped pass out the bread, and May placed her “lassy pot” in the little girl’s hands, making her giggle. When I watched them eat happily, my earlier hunger vanished completely. All done, it was time to leave. We wished them a happy New Year, said goodbye to them and set out to return home.
As we walked back home, I couldn’t help thinking what had just happened. I recalled the little girl’s hands, cold as ice, wrapping around the warm porridge bowl, and her eyes lighting up like stars — my heart softened. “Their smiles felt like sunshine,” I said softly. Mother tapped my head, smiling, “That’s the warmth that giving brings.” “Can we come back to help them tomorrow ” I asked. All of them nodded in agreement. The New Year sun cast golden light on our path, and the cold wind seemed to hum a gentle tune, making this morning feel extra warm and meaningful.
