Creative Travel Guide
With impressive museums, trendy fashion, and incredible innovations, Stockholm is a city you must go.
Best Time to Travel
The best time to visit Stockholm is from July to September when the temperatures are the warmest and you can enjoy long sunny days. However, hotel prices are at their highest at this time too. Visiting at the beginning of June can give you better hotel prices. While at the end of September offers plenty of light, but the temperature does begin to drop slightly.
Transportation
As the biggest city in Sweden, Stockholm is a transportation hub for the region, meaning that there are plenty of national and international connections to the city. You could choose to fly to one of the two airports that aren't too far from the city with Stockholm Orlando Airport being the biggest airport in the country.
Flights are available from across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. From the airport, you can take a bus or commuter train into the city center.
Getting Around
Stockholm has an excellent public transport system that is made up of several bus lines, commuter rails, trams metros, and ferries covering the majority of the city efficiently. Many people choose to cycle around Stockholm as the city has plenty of bike lanes and paths to get around. You can get yourself a Go City Stockholm card offering free entry to over 60 top attractions. You could also choose to take a taxi but it is expensive. So try to avoid if possible.
Food and Board
Hostel dorm prices can be found for under 350 Krona while budget Hotels begin at 2, 000, and four-or five-star hotels can be found for around 4, 000 Krona. Breakfast costs around 50Krona and lunch begins at 120, while dinner starts at around 200 Krona.

The book, Art Forms in Nature, published in 1904, is the most famous work of the German biologist Ernst Haeckel. Including more than 450hand-drawn pictures by him, the book is also known as the encyclopedia（百科全书） of nature. The pictures in the book have been at the crossing of art, biology, and maths for over a century.
Born in Potsdam, Germany, Ernst Haeckel studied medicine in Berlin, Wurzburg and Vienna, and received a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Berlin. He was also a professor of Zoology at Jena University. He was one of the first to draw animals. When Haeckel was a young medical student at the University of Berlin, Professor Johannes Muller took him to see small sea animals off the coast of Heligoland in the North Sea. At that time, Haeckel became intrigued in animals.
Haeckel's biological research is wide. He studied everything from the highest mountain to the deepest ocean. Haeckel's discoveries described and named thousands of new species. He used a paintbrush to draw these new species in fine detail. People learned about many animals that had never been seen before, and the most interesting one is the microorganism（微生物） described by Haeckel. These creatures that we can't see in daily life look like monsters that crawl out of science fiction. Through his book, Haeckel shows the diversity of the Earth's ecosystems.
It is worth mentioning that Haeckel and the famous biologist Darwin were very good friends. Haeckel would often send Darwin drawings of creatures he had drawn by hand for Darwin to study. Darwin once said, “Haeckel's paintings are the most attractive that I have ever seen, and I am proud to have his gifts.”
24. Why is Art Forms in Nature mentioned in the text
A. To explain the importance of biology. B. To introduce the author of the book.
C. To present the art skills in 1904. D. To show the features of animals.
25. What does the underlined word “intrigued” probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Worried. B. Tired. C. Interested. D. Agreed.
26. What do we know about Ernst Haeckel from paragraph 3
A. He found new species through his research.
B. He drew what he dreamed about in his spare time.
C. He made many experiments with his friends.
D. He discovered some animals that people had seen before.
27. What did Darwin think of his friend's gifts
A. Strange. B. Normal. C. Annoying. D. Impressive.
C
The world’s oceans, lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure from climate change, growing demand, urbanization, and pollution, threatening their ability to sustain life.
“Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective,” said the co-founder of a technology company. “Virtually every waterway is polluted to an extent where the ecosystem just can’t balance back anymore,” he explains.
The company is aiming to fill that information gap using fishlike robots that collect data from underwater environments. Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim like fish. The standard version is about 1.3 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors to measure oxygen, salinity (盐度) and pH levels.
The founder was motivated to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter learned about the ocean crisis and asked him to help protect the seas. He says it’s important that the robots can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and moving around obstacles smoothly.
The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals.
Still, the company has some blocks to clear before its fishlike robots will be seen cruising (游弋) through the world’s waterways. “We need capital to commercialize,” said the CEO, “but there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier technologies in the waterways.” The founder hopes more funding will follow. He said, “Investors should absolutely wake up.”
28. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To state the importance of the text.
C. To explain the urgency of water resources.
D. To weaken the seriousness of water pollution.
29. Which is one of the advantages of the robots
A. They can lead other fishes.
B. They can easily catch children’s eyes.
C. They work efficiently under the water.
D. They can swim without being recharged.
30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The launch of a new program. B. The application of the technology.
C. Management of the company. D. Development of the company.
31. What problem does the company face currently
A. How to make people focus on technology.
B. How to keep investors positive.
C. How to produce more robots.
D. How to collect more money.

For centuries, explorers have searched for the fountain of youth. Surprisingly, the secret to staying young might have been within us all along. Amor, a scientist, and colleagues have discovered that T cells can be reprogrammed to fight aging, so to speak.
Given the right genetic changes, these white blood cells can attack another group of cells known as senescent (衰老的) cells, which are thought to be responsible for many of the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are those that stop replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in our bodies, resulting in some diseases.
While several existing drugs can eliminate these cells, many must be taken repeatedly over time. As an alternative, Amor and colleagues turned to a “living” drug called CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cells.
They discovered CAR T cells could be used to rid of senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lower body weight, improved metabolism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. All these came without any tissue damage or side effects.
Perhaps the greatest power of CAR T cells is their long-lasting effects. The team found that just one dose (一剂) at a young age can have lifelong effects. That single treatment can protect against conditions that commonly occur later in life.
“T cells have the ability to develop memory and exist in your body for really long periods, which is very different from a chemical drug,” Amor explained.
Amor’s lab is now investigating whether CAR T cells let mice live not only healthier but also longer. If so, society will be one step closer to the fountain of youth.
32. What discovery have scientists made about T cells and aging
A. T cells cause aging. B. T cells can fight aging.
C. Senescent cells are T cells. D. Aging is caused by genetic changes.
33. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Remove. B. Sustain. C. Cue. D. Polish.
34. Which effect of CAR T cells on young mice does the text emphasize
A. Short-term activity increase. B. Immediate weight reduction.
C. Lifelong health enhancement. D. Temporary metabolic improvement.
35. What is Amor’s attitude to the future of employing CAR T cells
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Optimistic.

How to become a good communicator
Being a good communicator is an important life skill. It can help you make friends, do well in school, and even get better jobs when you're older. Sometimes, you may find it a struggle to communicate effectively with people around you. 36
Listen to others.
Listening is a trait that is often forgotten about in modern society. In the process of communication, try to avoid responding to a text, opening an email, or thinking about your next meal. 37 Show them you're listening and interested by commenting on the story or asking questions.
Speak sincerely.
No one likes to be deceived. Tell people the truth. If you can't commit to something, it's better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can't make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. 38 For instance, if you don't like your friend's shirt and they ask you about it, respond with, "I really like you in blue instead," rather than, "I hate it, it's ugly."
39
How you say things is arguably more important than what you say. If you try to give someone a genuine compliment（赞美）, but they think you say it with an ironic undertone, your compliment won't mean a thing. Be aware of the way you speak. If you notice that people often take things you say the wrong way, there is a good chance you can change how you speak. Ask your friends to make you aware of the way you're coming across.
Help others communicate.
Get a bunch of people together for a fun get-together. It can be as simple as a gathering at the park, or as fancy as an elegant dinner party. 40
A. Know "how" vs "what".
B. Be aware of what you say.
C. You should pay attention to what others are saying.
D. This can be a good chance for you to communicate with others.
E. Do remember there is a difference between honest and rude opinions.
F. Either way, it shows them that you care and want to spread friendship.
G. However, with practice and patience, you can become a great communicator.

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。
My mother always said, “Can't never could until he tried.” She recited it to me many times during my childhood. It was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Angry as it was, it took root. I strongly believe that I will never be able to do something unless I try.
Last year, my husband was downsized out of his job, leaving us with a single income—mine. We were a two-income family with two children to support. Just when it looked like things couldn't get worse, I lost my job too.
While my husband was making calls for another job, I stayed at home and did my best to figure out how to make the most of every cent. When I tried to get some milk from the refrigerator, I found the milk had gone bad. What was wrong It took me some time to make it out. The refrigerator didn't work. It was often difficult for me to have a hopeful and positive attitude at that time.
Anxious about our situation, I tried to think of something that I could do to earn some money. Even a little would help. Maybe we could at least get the refrigerator repaired. But what could I do I began searching the want ads, applying for anything that I was even able to do.
I had lunch with a former coworker who insisted that I would be great at teaching computer classes. I had used word processing software at my former job and was definitely an expert. I used to help my friends learn how to use computer software. I was considerate and easygoing and I was good at describing things patiently. Once my friends had difficulty in using the computer, I would be willing to help—guiding them through, answering all their questions. From their facial expressions, I could tell they loved me.
Was it possible that people would actually pay me to teach them I suddenly remembered my mother's words “Can't never could until he tried”.

66.One Possible Version
Our school's sports field saw a coming-of-age ceremony last Sunday. The: ceremony. was intended for the students of Grade 3. They, together with their parents and teachers, gathered -together. Wearing radiant smiles, parents. and teachers made their sincere wishes for the students. In return, the students. expressed their gratitude. to、their parents and teachers who devoted their love and. care to them. They hugged each other; and: some: of. them were. even. moved. to tears. I think it was a very touching moment.
I witnessed the whole ceremony, in that it was an enormous, activity on campus. The whole :ceremony was brief but meaningful. Standing by, I just. couldn't. help picturing my. coming-of-age ceremony, which is expected to happen next year. What will it be like Will I cry then, too Who knows! All that I:can ensure is that our. ceremony will definitely be a remarkable one.
Now I am really looking forward to my coming-of-age ceremony. Actually. I can't wait!
67.
I wasn't sure where to start, but finally I got an idea. The first thing I did was write the advertisement for my computer class. Then I designed brochures, handing them out in the street. I was filled with self-doubt as I waited for responses. I had absolutely no experience in running a business and I had no training experience. But on the third day, I got my first response. Two people registered for my computer class. Then, I got another 10 registrations. I couldn't believe it.
Fortunately, I made enough money to do the things I wanted. I will never forget the day that our new refrigerator was delivered. It was much larger than our old one. I paid for it with the money I earned. I could not have been prouder of myself. I had a tremendous satisfaction that I had tried and succeeded. Thanks to my mother, I didn't give up easily before trying some ways to solve problems. Now I will tell my children my mother's words: “Can't never could until he tried”.
