A
You may love staying home and having a quiet day in on Christmas— and we totally get that. But there’s a strong case for travelling during Christmas, if only once or a few times, too. In the following cities around the world, Christmastime is a winteryand magical experience like no other.
New York
At the head of our list is New York, the iconic setting for so many Christmas movies. Go skating in Rockefeller Center in front of the big tree（or if line s are too long, check out Central Park’s Wollman Rink for fantastic skyline views）, and visit the Christmas shops at Bryant Park Winter Village.
Tallinn, Estonia
For an up- and- coming travel destination with one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, head to this Baltic capital across the sea from Finland. It also just so happensto be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree— thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world.
Quebec City
With its cobbled street s and stone buildings in the shadow of the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, which looks like a castle but is actually a hotel, visitors feel like they’ re in a holiday fairytale. Plus, its northern destination makes a white Christmas nearly a guarantee. Cap it off（if you dare） with the toboggan（雪橇） slide right in the centre of town, thrilling riders since 1884 with speeds of over 64 kilometres per hour.
Bruges, Belgium
This pedestrian- friendly city is breathtaking to walk around at Christmas time— or take a boat ride along the shining canals. The medie val buildings look like cookie houses. The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, wintermarket, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit.
21．Which city is the best destination for a Christmas film director
A．Tallinn. B．Bruges. C．Quebec City. D．New York.
22．What is a probable concern of visitors trying sledding in the town
A．The cobbled street. B．The high speed.
C．The freezing weather. D．The fairytale castle.
23．What is special about Bruges during Christmas
A．A boat trip is accessible. B．The Christmas cookies sell best.
C．An old Christmas tree is displayed. D．The medieval town is suitable to walk.
B
Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born.
When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd when she took his picture. The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth mentioned the strange phenomenon to their doctor, she shined a light into Noah’s eye, saw the same white reflection, and immediately sent the family to an ophthalmologist（眼科医生）.
A white reflection instead of a red one is a telltale sign of retinal cancer, and that is exactly what Noah had. He endured months of chemotherapy and radiation, but doctors ultimately could not save his eye. Retinoblastoma, the scientific name of Noah’s tumor, is treat- able if caught early. Bryan Shaw couldn’t help but wonder whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find— thousands of them and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noahwas 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently.
“By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25 percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan, a chemistry professor at Baylor University in Texas, told People. It was too late for Noah’s eye, but Bryan was determined to put his hard- won insights to good use.
He created a database that charted the cancer’s appearance in every photo. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with retinoblastoma. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues in Baylor’s computer science department to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope（检眼镜）.
Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s App Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan told People. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”
24．Why did Elizabeth turn to the doctor
A．Because Noah had strange behaviour.
B．Because Noah’s eyes were hurt by camera flash.
C．Because Noah was to be checked regularly.
D．Because Noah’s eyes had different spots in the photo.
25．Why did Noah’s eyes fail to be cured
A．Because Noah’s eyes were infected frequently.
B．Because doctors were inexpert in the rare disease.
C．Because signs of Noah’s problem were found late.
D．Because Noah couldn’t stand the pain during treatment.
26．How does the smartphone app save lives
A．By checking photos for eye disease. B．By shooting pictures for comparison.
C．By recording data of eye development. D．By examining the eyesight of the users.
27．Which of the following words can describe Bryan
A．Humorous and kind. B．Honest and humble.
C．Determined and caring. D．Courageous and intelligent.
C
If you’ re a sports fan, you may be familiar with the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sports audience. Whether you’ re part of a buzzing crowd in a stadium, or just watching at home on TV, it’s easy to get caught up in the highs and the lows when you celebrate or commiserate with your favourite team or athlete.
Those feelings are so strong, in fact, that a study from Croatia, published in PubMed, showed that the emotional stress during a football match increased the risk of a cardiovascular（心血管的） incident.
But can watching sports be good for you too The evidence suggests that people who watch live sporting events experience greater wellbeing than those who don’t. A study published in Frontiers in Public Health by the Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, found sports spectators felt less lonely and had higher scores for life satisfaction. Lead author Helen Keys said in a press release, “Watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to forge group identity and belonging.” She says this then re- duces loneliness and boosts wellbeing. But, if for any reason you aren’t keen on going to live events, don’t worry! Watching sports on TV or on the Internet may also have great benefits, according to a study by Tsuji and colleagues.
They found that older adults who watched sports were less likely to have depressive symptoms than those who didn’t. On top of that, the sports watchers tended to have richer social networks than non- watchers. The authors suggest that the social networks you gain through watching sports may lower the risk of depressive symptoms. So, the cheers at a live sports event or even casual chit- chat with friends about your favourite team can bring a friendship and may reduce loneliness and depression.
It seems the health benefits of sports are not limited to physical activity through participation in them, but that we can make gains in our general wellbeing through social bonding.
28．What does the underlined word “commiserate” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Agree. B．Struggle. C．Sympathize. D．Correspond.
29．What does the study published in Frontiers in Public Health focus on
A．Benefits of doing sports. B．Loneliness in sports men’s life.
C．Positive effects of watching sports. D．Players’ satisfaction with their performance.
30．Why does the author mention the older adult sports watchers
A．To demonstrate watching sports can improve physical health.
B．To praise older people’s high spirit while watching sports.
C．To advocate the senior taking sports instead of watching.
D．To show sports watching reduces risk of mental diseases.
31．Which of the following is the structure of the text
A． B． C． D．
D
Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter（26%）, according to a new Australian study from The George Institute published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes— like swapping a frozen meat lasagne（宽面条） for the vegetarian option— could push the reduction to as much as 71%.
Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high- income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options.
Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households in The George Institute’s FoodSwitch database and global environmental impact datasets. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minorand sub- categories of foods（e. g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively） to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub- categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equivalent to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%.
The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like- for- like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added.
A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product barcode and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star（high emissions） to five stars （low emissions）.
“While ecoSwitch is a much- needed first step in providing environmental transparency（透明度） for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive display of a single, standardised sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded prof Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London.
32．What does the author want to show by listing numbers in paragraph 1
A．The impact of food industry. B．The need of changing daily diet.
C．The status of environmental problems. D．The influencing factors of gas emissions.
33．Why do researchers make a detailed classification for products
A．To set up a comprehensive database.
B．To figure out the detailed food categories.
C．To identify emissions reduced by switching food.
D．To ensure less air pollution caused by food options.
34．What do we know about ecoSwitch
A．It is popular in high- income countries. B．It checks the emissions of star products.
C．It is a measurement system for a supermarket. D．It ensures wiser choices for food purchase.
35．What does the text mainly talk about
A．EcoSwitch makes customers aware of food risk.
B．Food swaps contribute to environmental sustainability.
C．Environmental problems account for less food nutrition.
D．Greenhouse gas emissions have an effect on food safety.

The psychological weight of regret can be a heavy burden, impacting mental wellbeing and influencing future decision- making. 36 We will discover how, with the right mind- set, we can embrace regrets as stepping stones to a richer and more fulfilling life.
37 But its contradiction lies in its potential to be a powerful force for positive change. Individuals who embrace, rather than hold back, their regrets are more likely to engage in adaptive behaviours and self- improvement.
The very existence of regret is a sign of our capacity for self- reflection and growth. 38 In other words, it can help recognise that this complex emotion can be an activator for personal transformation.
Coping with regret requires a mix of emotional recovery, self- sympathy and proactive decision- making. 39 Instead of focusing on what went wrong and blaming ourselves, consider what valuable insights and strengths we have gained from the experience.
In the grand tapestry（织锦） of life, regrets need not be seen as spots but as bright threads contributing to the richness of our personal accounts. Embracing regrets involves acknowledging their presence and understanding their differences. 40 As we manage the complicated psychology of regret, let us remember that it is not the absence of regret that defines a life well lived, but the ability to learn, adapt and evolve in the face of it.
So, let us not fear our regrets, but rather, welcome them as companions on the pathtoa more authentic and fulfilling existence.
A．Regret is often associated with negative emotions.
B．Reorganizing narrative about regrets can improve the capacity.
C．Reflecting regularly is crucial in the journey to embrace regrets.
D．Treat ourselves with the same kindness we would offer to a friend.
E．Additionally, it contains transforming them into activator for growth.
F．Regret serves as a marker of our evolving understanding of ourselves.
G．But what if we could view it not as a source of pain but a guide to growth

Our group had stopped to remove our boots before a small stream crossing after a morning of exploring the seaside foothills of Canada’s Torngat Mountains National Park in Newfoundland and Labrador. I looked up and there it was, about 150 yards away, staring at us: a polar bear. Our guides had warned us about the dangers of polar bear country, but I thought I’d be lucky if I saw one in the wild.
I’ve seen plenty of black bears, but never anything this big. This guy was a bruiser. We gathered together and began shouting at the bear, but when that didn’t frighten it, our guide, Rich, shot a flare（照明弹）. The bear escaped to a ledge, and we crossed the stream into camp. It stayed there as we cooked and ate our dinner. When bedtime rolled around, I glanced up. The bear hadn’t moved. I started cycling through all the worst- case scenarios that could hap- pen, but I tried to remember everything we’d prepared to keep us safe.
Our guides had put up an electric fence meant to frighten bears away from our tents. It ran off a couple of batteries like you would put in a flashlight. The outfitter said if we touched it, the shock would blow us out of our hiking boots. I crawled into my tent and tried to get some rest.
I lay awake, trembling with anxiety, but eventually, sleep got the best of me. A few hours later, I stepped out of my tent to go to the bathroom, and the bear was gone. I felt relieved.
The sounds of rain and snow made me back to sleep. Around 2:30 a. m., movement out. side woke me. I had been sleeping on my back and looked up to see a shadow towering over my tent. I recognized the shape immediately; two big bear legs, Obviously, the electric fence didn’t work.
I screamed, and tried to take flight. ____________________________________________________________

One possible version:
Aimed at popularizing the culture of paper- cutting as well - 晾 Chinese ancient traditional culture, the paper- cutting competition was held in our stadium at 8 yesterday, lasting about 3 hours.
The competition brought together students from all grades, eager to preserve this ancient art form. As scissors danced gracefully through delicate paper, various patterns emerged, telling stories of all kinds of Chinese traditions. Participants made everyeffort to craft flowers, animals, and auspicious symbols.
The competition not only showed the beauty of paper cutting but also fostered a deeper understanding and appreciation for China’s rich cultural heritage among students. It served as a platform for creativity, teamwork, and skill development, encouragingyoung minds to pass down the traditional arts to future generations.

One possible version:
I screamed, and tried to take flight. But there was no way out and the extreme terror made me rooted to the ground. The creature crashed down on top of me and started clawing at me through the fabric. I covered my head with my hands as its massive teeth reached for my face. Next thing I knew, my head was in its jaws. The bear started running, dragging my helpless body away from our campsite. I. could feel the bones cracking where the bear was biting my neck. My fear gave way to desperation.
Then, I heard a swoosh Rich had shot off a flare. The bear dropped me and withdrew about 50 yards away. I tried to get up, but I was too broken to move. And the danger wasn’t gone: the bear was inching closer. Rich shot another flare, and this time, it was scared away. My trip- mates carried me back to camp and gave me simple treatment. I could hear someone trying to call for help on a satellite phone and a helicopter was on the way. Despite the pain, relief washed over me. I was alive and that’s what mattered most. What a thrilling experience!
