The Most Beautiful Seas in the World
Considering the most beautiful seas, it’s worth paying attention to the southern water bodies, although, without doubt, each sea is attractive and charming in its own way.
The most beautiful sea in the world — Coral Sea
If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom.
The second place — Red Sea
The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich. Many corals live only here, and divers are strictly forbidden to break them.
The third place — Bali Sea
The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise (天堂) for relaxation, receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Madura.
The fourth place — Caribbean
This is the warmest exotic (异域风情的) place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive, and you can experience different cultural traditions.

On August 20th, 2024, the Chinese gaming industry reached a milestone with the global release of Black Myth: Wukong, a new AAA action role-playing game developed by Game Science. Within hours of launch, it topped Steam's most-played single-player list, gaining significant attention on social media.
Black Myth: Wukong draws on Chinese mythologies (神话) and the classic novel Journey to the West. It allows players to assume the role of Sun Wukong and start grand adventures. Inspired by Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey, the game creates a vivid dreamscape with Chinese scenery, like remote mountains, wild roads and ancient temples. The various demons, gods, and other figures with Chinese-style designs in the game are based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, breathing new life into the ancient tales of Chinese mythology.
Feng Ji, Game Science founder and CEO, emphasized that the game was created entirely by a Chinese team to bring Chinese stories to the global gaming stage. He said, “The script and artistic concepts always take the lead, harmoniously integrating (把……融入) Chinese stories and classical cultural elements into the game.” He believed that a game's true value is not determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players.
According to the Xinhua News Agency, to create a truly immersive (沉浸式的), world-class game, the game’s production team spent years traveling across China, scanning historical and cultural sites, and integrating them into every game scene. The game features 36 locations thoroughly modeled after real-world sites, with 27 of them located in Shanxi Province, China, offering players a unique and immersive visual experience.
The game has increased interest in Shanxi’s cultural heritage. Bookings for trips to Shanxi have doubled since July, and the number of tourists to Shanxi has grown by 50%. Shanxi has rich tourism resources but lacks recognition both at home and abroad. The game has presented Shanxi’s cultural relics in a pleasing and effective way, arousing people’s interest in the province’s culture and travel.
4. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the game
A. Its target players. B. Its wide popularity
C Its design inspiration. D. Its cultural significance.
5. What is the key to making a truly valuable game according to Feng Ji
A. Creating high profits for the game company.
B. Providing a satisfying experience for players.
C. Integrating Chinese stories into artistic concepts.
D. Designing impressive characters and visual effects.
6. Which of the following words can best describe the game's production team
A. Ambitious but critical. B. Experienced but stubborn.
C. Confident and productive. D. Devoted and high-standard.
7. How does the game benefit Shanxi Province
A. By promoting its cultural tourism. B. By improving its international status.
C. By calling for the protection of its heritage. D. By attracting investment to its game industry.
C
Earthquakes are among the most powerful and destructive natural phenomena on our planet. They result from plate movements, where the Earth’s crustal plates grind against each other, causing stress to build up over time. When this stress exceeds the strength of the rock, it ruptures (断裂), releasing energy in the form of seismic waves (地震波) that travel through the Earth’s interior and shake the surface. The force of an earthquake depends on the extent of rock movement, and powerful events can shake firm ground violently for great distances.
Earthquakes can have catastrophic consequences, though they rarely kill people directly. Instead, deaths and injuries are often caused by falling objects, building collapses, and subsequent fires or hazardous chemical spills. So no matter where we are, knowing how to protect ourselves and our family during an earthquake is necessary. For example, when we feel the ground is shaking, find a nice piece of furniture, a chair, a sofa, or a closet, and lie down, or curl up next to it. A falling roof may compact (压实) the furniture, but will still leave a space for us to survive next to it.
After earthquakes, immediate response is crucial to save lives and minimize damage. Governments, international organizations, and local communities should work together to provide emergency relief, including medical aid, food, water, shelter, and search and rescue operations.
Earthquakes are unpredictable and devastating natural disasters that can have profound impacts on communities worldwide. While we cannot prevent earthquakes from happening, we can take steps to mitigate their effects through
better building codes, early warning systems, and effective response and recovery efforts. By working together, we can reduce the human toll (伤亡人数) of these powerful events and build more resilient communities.
8. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. What earthquakes are. B. What earthquakes cause.
C. Where earthquakes occur. D. How earthquakes happen.
9. What should we do during an earthquake according to the text
A. Stay in the bedroom. B. Hide in a closet. C. Lie down next to a sofa. D. Curl up under a chair.
10. What is the key to reducing death and damage after an earthquake
A. Immediate response to others’ help.
B. Quick action and cooperation at home and abroad.
C. Getting connected with family and friends immediately.
D. Waiting for aid from governments, communities and international organizations.
11. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Reduce. B. Prevent. C. Research. D. Promote.
D
3D printing is taking home construction(建筑)to new heights. A giant printer is building what designers say is the first 3D-printed two-story house in the US.
“While construction 3D printing has been around for over ten years, the technology has only started to break ground in the US homebuilding market over the last couple of years,” said Lok, the architectural designer for the project. Several 3D-printed homes have already been built or are currently in the works across a handful of states.
Lok, who co-founded X, a design company, said, “My team aims to eventually scale up(扩大)the designs to be able to efficiently 3D print multifamily homes.” With the Houston home, the team is pushing the industrial printer to its limits to understand how it can stream-line(使效率更高)the technology, in the search of quickly building cost-effective and well-designed homes.
“In the future, it has to be fast, simple design in order to compete with other building technologies,” said Zerle, the head of structural engineering. “We are not trying to beat the clock.” “It’s a case study. We’re learning the abilities of the machine, learning the reaction of the material under different weather conditions. We’re learning how to optimize(优化)the speed of printing. When this project is completed, we should have a very good idea of how to proceed in the future,” he added.
On the design side, Lok sees opportunity to one day offer customized features at a mass scale, without excessive
labor costs. “The printer doesn’t care if you print the same chair 100 times or you print 100 different chairs,” she said. “This opens up the possibility of how we can actually offer customized design for the users, whether it’s a single-family house or whether it’s a multifamily building or apartment.”
12. What can we learn about 3D printing
A. It is applied to two fields in the US.
B. It is widely used in homebuilding market.
C. It has been applied to building in a few states.
D. It has been used in construction for less than ten years.
13 What is the purpose of Lok and her team
A. To satisfy any customer’s need.
B. To increase the size of their designs.
C. To use the technology in other fields.
D. To understand what the technology can do
14. Why does the author quote Zerbe’s words
A. To show his advantages.
B. To state the purpose of the study.
C. To describe the process of the study.
D. To tell others how the technology works.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. 3D-Printed Homes Hopefully Come True
B. 3D-Printed Houses Are Perfect For Living
C. 3D Printing Levels Up Home Construction
D. 3D Printing 1s Speeding Up High-rise Buildings

【答案】When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.
