A
This stargazing (观星) road trip offers world-class night sky views
Take a trip to Colorado, which is home to incredible stargazing sites—and may become the world’s largest dark sky reserve.
Day 1: Paint Mine Interpretive Park
A small parking lot and a sign complete the entrance, and a short walk down a path takes you to your destination: a 750-acre “garden” that turns shades of purple into nightfall. The roads aren’t well-marked. Bring a flashlight and pay attention to your tracks so that you can find the way back.
Day 2: Westcliffe
After stopping in Florence, Colorado’s “Antique Capital”, for lunch at Turmeric Indian & Nepalese Restaurant, you’ll find yourself in the twin towns of Westcliffe and Silver Cliff. Sitting at 8,000 feet with mountain tops on three sides, Westcliffe is the world’s highest International Dark Sky Community.
Day 3: La Veta
This town attracts artists, music lovers, and serious food lovers. Spend the evening over a leisurely meal at Alys’ Restaurant, an amazing experience outside Chef Alys’ home. After dinner, look up: The street of La Veta, which has a total population of 863, is the main spot for counting shooting stars.
Day 4: Great Sand Dunes(沙丘) National Park and preserve
Named a dark sky park in spring 2025, Great Sand Dunes National Park and preserve—with its color-changing hills and countless stars—attracts night time crowds. Don’t follow them. Instead, go to the north access point. Without crowds of visitors waving flashlights, you’ll get much brighter views of the Milky Way dancing above the dunes.
36. What should visitors pay special attention to on Day 1
A. Walking slowly. B. Remembering the route. C. Finding a parking lot. D. Wearing warm clothes.
37. If you enjoy night sky views on a high spot, you should choose _.
A. La Veta B. Paint Mine Interpretive Park
C. Westcliff e D. Great Sand Dunes National Park and preserve
38. What can we know about La Veta
A. It offers delicious meals to visitors. B. It provides free hotels for visitors.
C. It has large numbers of streets. D. It's known for the birthplace of famous artists.
39. The north access point is suggested for stargazing at Great Sand Dunes, because _.
A. star- counting competitions are held there B. various dance shows take place there
C. special flashlights are given out there D. visitors can have clearer views there
40. What is the purpose of the text
A. To offer tips on safe travel. B. To introduce parks in Colorado.
C. To show a dark sky trip plan. D. To compare different tourist cities.
B
To Dr. Krithi Karanth, every person is naturally connected to nature from birth. Yet in rural India, where she works, this connection is often under tension. Kids see pretty dramatic scenes of conflict in their villages: elephants destroy crops, tigers take domestic animals, and sometimes local people are badly injured by wild animals. “Children develop negative views of wildlife as they grow up,” Karanth explains. “Simply knowing India has the world’s largest populations of tigers or Asian elephants doesn’t inspire their pride — it’s not related to them.”
Karanth became a conservation scientist in 1999, and a critical moment came in 2017 at the National Geographic Society’s Explorers Festival. Speaking with fellow explorer Gabby Salazar, Karanth discovered that Salazar possessed exceptional educational expertise (专业知识) and had long sought to apply it meaningfully. Karanth then suggested combining education, art, and games to reconnect rural children with wildlife.
Karanth’s suggestion immediately drew Salazar. Within six months, the two pooled their strengths and developed the first version of Wild Shaale, an innovative (创新的) program featuring art-based modules, multimedia storytelling, and play-based learning. “Apart from these elements, encouraging the students to find similarities between themselves and wildlife also makes a difference,” Karanth notes.
Today, the program has reached over 700 schools and 30,000 children aged 10 to 13 in villages across 20 wildlife parks in India’s Western Ghats. Besides, another 300 schools are expected to join the program within the next year. The impact of Wild Shaale is seen in simple yet profound ways—handwritten notes from students, small gifts like feathers and seeds left for educators, as well as an increasing number of curious questions about wildlife.
With Wild Shaale’s success in India, Karanth hopes to expand the program globally. “What works for Indian tigers could adapt to jaguars in South America, cougars in North America, or lions in Africa,” she says. “I believe Wild Shaale should go to every kid on the planet.”
41. How might India’s rural children originally regard wildlife
A. As makers of peace. B. As dangerous threats.
C. As national symbols. D. As sources of income.
42. What led to the plan for Wild Shale in the beginning
A. A change in official policies. B. Research findings about wildlife.
C. Support from local communities. D. An inspiring exchange of ideas.
43. Which of the following is covered in Wild Shale’s strategies
A. Close-up observation. B. Personalized instruction.
C. Standardized testing. D. Emotional connection
44. The figures in paragraph 4 mainly demonstrate ________.
A. Wild Shale’s advantages over traditional teaching B. children’s strong awareness of ecological issues
C. children’s wide acceptance of Wild Shale D. Wild Shale’s recognition within conservation circles
45. How does Karanth feel about Wild Shale’s future
A. Confident. B. Puzzled. C. Indifferent. D. Worried.
C
“Look for the gap” “ Move into space” Sound familiar From the sidelines to the field, no matter the team sport, looking for relevant information in the playing environment can be as important as any other skill if you want to score. Think Allen Iverson, Scott Pendlebury, or Natalie Medhurst, coolly judging all the options before making important decisions. How do these excellent athletes become so great As well as their physical strengths, their brainpower is an obvious advantage.
Regardless of whether an athlete is playing backyard cricket or Olympic basketball, their playing environment holds important information that must be found, explained and then acted on. Research conducted at Western Sydney University finds skilled players are better at looking for and seeing the options and what’s happening around them in the playing environment. They tend to look both at an opponent (对手) and at where they can move next. Less skilled players, however, might watch only one detail but not what is happening around them.
Skilled players are also often faster to make decisions compared to less skilled players; their experiences create more stored memories that help speed up their decision-making. Essentially, skilled players know what information is the most relevant to focus on and they act on it quickly.
Adding to this picture is new research that explores the negative impact of mental fatigue (疲劳) on physical performance. This work shows that our ability to exercise can be affected negatively after activities requiring long periods of thinking and mental effort, particularly when these activities are boring. It first considers the impact of using the brain so much that it makes you physically tired. This may be particularly relevant for coaches of young players shifting from the school day to training, especially if the day’s lessons have been complex. Coaches should therefore map out appropriate strategies by considering the amount of information they provide for athletes and the complexity of the tasks and instructions.
Overall, cognitive (认知的) skills, like physical qualities, are key to high performance and even play a role in identifying future potential. Cognition could be a reliable marker of ability over time and could provide some basis for prediction of talent.
46. Why are some great athletes mentioned in the text
A. To compare different sports. B. To highlight physical training.
C. To stress mental skills in sports. D. To honor their achievements in sports.
47. According to paragraph 2, what advantage do skilled athletes tend to have
A. Faster moving speed. B. Wider focus of attention.
C. More efficient teamwork. D. Stronger physical endurance.
48. Successful athletes make decisions quickly by _______.
A. referring to previous experience B. ignoring all outside distractions
C. learning from opponents’ strategies D. understanding coaches’ instructions
49. What does the author suggest coaches do after their players have had a hard school day
A Lengthen the warm-up for training. B. Set the training intensity adaptively.
C. Prioritize physical over cognitive training. D. Refer to their players’ previous performance.
50. What is the text mainly about
A. The quality of sports talent. B. The overall training in sports.
C. The cognitive power in sports. D. The variables affecting sports.
D
There is a paradox (悖论) to being 20 meters under the ocean. It is a place of calm and wonder. I am immersed in a foreign world, with a new watery sky above me. There is a sense of peace as countless colorful fishes swim past.
But the peacefulness is deceiving. As a beginner diver my mind often goes into overdrive. All that stands between me and a painful fate is the tank of oxygen on my back.
I must remember complex hand signals, from those that communicate an animal sighting to the essential “I’m out of air” signal. I also need to remember things like my dive time and depth, and the location of my friend.
Therefore, the paradox: scuba diving (水肺潜水) is at once liberating and calm, and a challenging comprehension test. Funnily enough, the latter—the learning aspect of it—makes the former more enjoyable.
When was the last time you learned a new skill A truly new pursuit, not just an extension of your day-to-day With busy lives and careers, the learning slows. It’s rare we try something truly new.
Diving awakened me to the joy of learning new skills in adulthood. The activity is both exciting and has just enough danger to focus the mind; it forces you to wrestle with something unfamiliar and immerse yourself in the underwater world. It also forces you offline; there’s no checking emails 30 meters below the surface.
With more dives, there is always more to learn. New dive sites also bring their own challenges.
I’m lucky to have the time and money to take up new pursuits. Learning to dive isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every cent. One study found that people with hobbies had better health, more happiness and higher life satisfaction.
So why not consider trying something new-truly new There is a magical quality to being a beginner again, learning slowly, occasionally regressing (倒退) and sometimes progressing. And if you can do all that 20 meters under the sea, surrounded by curious turtles and friendly manta rays (蝠鲸), all the better.
51. What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Trapped in a dangerous environment. B. Forced to adapt to underwater pressure.
C. Distracted by surrounding creatures. D. completely involved in a new experience.
52. What is the paradox of scuba diving described in the text
A. It is both expensive and dangerous. B. It offers peace but requires strict training.
C. It is a test of courage and a waste of time. D. It allows freedom but causes memory loss.
53. Why does the author say the peacefulness of diving is “deceiving”
A. Because beginners must stay focused on safety. B. Because underwater creatures are dangerous.
C. Because oxygen tanks often fail unexpectedly. D. Because divers can easily get lost underwater.
54. How has diving influenced the author
A. It has helped the author to get over the fear of the ocean. B. It has improved their email management skills.
C. It has caused the pleasure of acquiring unfamiliar abilities. D. It has made the author prefer underwater world to daily life.
55. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text
A. To warn beginners about the dangers of diving. B. To describe the beauty of underwater world.
C. To encourage readers to try new experiences. D. To share tips on passing diving tests.

Fatema’s love for volleyball started when she was nine years old in Iran because of encouragement from her uncle. Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia, so she worked with community leaders to set up after-school matches in the local area. The community volleyball matches continued for three months and allowed Fatema to show her qualities as a skillful team player and leader among her peers.
Fatema believes that she needs to play in a professional club. However, as training sessions and matches are often in the evenings, the timing is not convenient for her because she can’t use public transport at that time. The club registration cost is also a problem. Fatema is a thoughtful girl and doesn’t want to put a financial strain on her family, so she continues to look for after-school work to earn money that could help cover the club registration costs and other expenses.
While she hasn’t joined a volleyball club yet, Fatema has joined the Dandenong Women’s Sports Hub for volleyball sessions run by the Centre for Multicultural Youth after school. Moslih, the coach, is inspired by her positive attitude towards various challenges since Fatema arrived in Australia.
Moslih said,“I have seen Fatema in every volleyball class we’ve had! Fatema has proven to me how determined she is to realize her dream of playing volleyball, and it just makes me want to support her in every way that I can. I have not only seen her progress in her skills, but also her confidence and hard work. She is always the first to show up and the last to leave.”
Fatema is a multi-talented young person. She can play the guitar skillfully. She is studying at high school and is aiming to become a police officer in the future. But her current goal is to earn some money through an after-school job to financially support her participation in the volleyball club.

A
This stargazing (观星) road trip offers world-class night sky views
Take a trip to Colorado, which is home to incredible stargazing sites—and may become the world’s largest dark sky reserve.
Day 1: Paint Mine Interpretive Park
A small parking lot and a sign complete the entrance, and a short walk down a path takes you to your destination: a 750-acre “garden” that turns shades of purple into nightfall. The roads aren’t well-marked. Bring a flashlight and pay attention to your tracks so that you can find the way back.
Day 2: Westcliffe
After stopping in Florence, Colorado’s “Antique Capital”, for lunch at Turmeric Indian & Nepalese Restaurant, you’ll find yourself in the twin towns of Westcliffe and Silver Cliff. Sitting at 8,000 feet with mountain tops on three sides, Westcliffe is the world’s highest International Dark Sky Community.
Day 3: La Veta
This town attracts artists, music lovers, and serious food lovers. Spend the evening over a leisurely meal at Alys’ Restaurant, an amazing experience outside Chef Alys’ home. After dinner, look up: The street of La Veta, which has a total population of 863, is the main spot for counting shooting stars.
Day 4: Great Sand Dunes(沙丘) National Park and preserve
Named a dark sky park in spring 2025, Great Sand Dunes National Park and preserve—with its color-changing hills and countless stars—attracts night time crowds. Don’t follow them. Instead, go to the north access point. Without crowds of visitors waving flashlights, you’ll get much brighter views of the Milky Way dancing above the dunes.
36. What should visitors pay special attention to on Day 1
A. Walking slowly. B. Remembering the route. C. Finding a parking lot. D. Wearing warm clothes.

To Dr. Krithi Karanth, every person is naturally connected to nature from birth. Yet in rural India, where she works, this connection is often under tension. Kids see pretty dramatic scenes of conflict in their villages: elephants destroy crops, tigers take domestic animals, and sometimes local people are badly injured by wild animals. “Children develop negative views of wildlife as they grow up,” Karanth explains. “Simply knowing India has the world’s largest populations of tigers or Asian elephants doesn’t inspire their pride — it’s not related to them.”
Karanth became a conservation scientist in 1999, and a critical moment came in 2017 at the National Geographic Society’s Explorers Festival. Speaking with fellow explorer Gabby Salazar, Karanth discovered that Salazar possessed exceptional educational expertise (专业知识) and had long sought to apply it meaningfully. Karanth then suggested combining education, art, and games to reconnect rural children with wildlife.
Karanth’s suggestion immediately drew Salazar. Within six months, the two pooled their strengths and developed the first version of Wild Shaale, an innovative (创新的) program featuring art-based modules, multimedia storytelling, and play-based learning. “Apart from these elements, encouraging the students to find similarities between themselves and wildlife also makes a difference,” Karanth notes.
Today, the program has reached over 700 schools and 30,000 children aged 10 to 13 in villages across 20 wildlife parks in India’s Western Ghats. Besides, another 300 schools are expected to join the program within the next year. The impact of Wild Shaale is seen in simple yet profound ways—handwritten notes from students, small gifts like feathers and seeds left for educators, as well as an increasing number of curious questions about wildlife.
With Wild Shaale’s success in India, Karanth hopes to expand the program globally. “What works for Indian tigers could adapt to jaguars in South America, cougars in North America, or lions in Africa,” she says. “I believe Wild Shaale should go to every kid on the planet.”
41. How might India’s rural children originally regard wildlife
A. As makers of peace. B. As dangerous threats.
C. As national symbols. D. As sources of income.
42. What led to the plan for Wild Shale in the beginning
A. A change in official policies. B. Research findings about wildlife.
C. Support from local communities. D. An inspiring exchange of ideas.
43. Which of the following is covered in Wild Shale’s strategies
A. Close-up observation. B. Personalized instruction.
C. Standardized testing. D. Emotional connection
44. The figures in paragraph 4 mainly demonstrate ________.
A. Wild Shale’s advantages over traditional teaching B. children’s strong awareness of ecological issues
C. children’s wide acceptance of Wild Shale D. Wild Shale’s recognition within conservation circles
45. How does Karanth feel about Wild Shale’s future
A. Confident. B. Puzzled. C. Indifferent. D. Worried.
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. D 44. C 45. A

“Look for the gap” “ Move into space” Sound familiar From the sidelines to the field, no matter the team sport, looking for relevant information in the playing environment can be as important as any other skill if you want to score. Think Allen Iverson, Scott Pendlebury, or Natalie Medhurst, coolly judging all the options before making important decisions. How do these excellent athletes become so great As well as their physical strengths, their brainpower is an obvious advantage.
Regardless of whether an athlete is playing backyard cricket or Olympic basketball, their playing environment holds important information that must be found, explained and then acted on. Research conducted at Western Sydney University finds skilled players are better at looking for and seeing the options and what’s happening around them in the playing environment. They tend to look both at an opponent (对手) and at where they can move next. Less skilled players, however, might watch only one detail but not what is happening around them.
Skilled players are also often faster to make decisions compared to less skilled players; their experiences create more stored memories that help speed up their decision-making. Essentially, skilled players know what information is the most relevant to focus on and they act on it quickly.
Adding to this picture is new research that explores the negative impact of mental fatigue (疲劳) on physical performance. This work shows that our ability to exercise can be affected negatively after activities requiring long periods of thinking and mental effort, particularly when these activities are boring. It first considers the impact of using the brain so much that it makes you physically tired. This may be particularly relevant for coaches of young players shifting from the school day to training, especially if the day’s lessons have been complex. Coaches should therefore map out appropriate strategies by considering the amount of information they provide for athletes and the complexity of the tasks and instructions.
Overall, cognitive (认知的) skills, like physical qualities, are key to high performance and even play a role in identifying future potential. Cognition could be a reliable marker of ability over time and could provide some basis for prediction of talent.
46. Why are some great athletes mentioned in the text
A. To compare different sports. B. To highlight physical training.
C. To stress mental skills in sports. D. To honor their achievements in sports.
47. According to paragraph 2, what advantage do skilled athletes tend to have
A. Faster moving speed. B. Wider focus of attention.
C. More efficient teamwork. D. Stronger physical endurance.
48. Successful athletes make decisions quickly by _______.
A. referring to previous experience B. ignoring all outside distractions
C. learning from opponents’ strategies D. understanding coaches’ instructions
49. What does the author suggest coaches do after their players have had a hard school day
A Lengthen the warm-up for training. B. Set the training intensity adaptively.
C. Prioritize physical over cognitive training. D. Refer to their players’ previous performance.
50. What is the text mainly about
A. The quality of sports talent. B. The overall training in sports.
C. The cognitive power in sports. D. The variables affecting sports.
【答案】46. C 47. B 48. A 49. B 50. C
D
There is a paradox (悖论) to being 20 meters under the ocean. It is a place of calm and wonder. I am immersed in a foreign world, with a new watery sky above me. There is a sense of peace as countless colorful fishes swim past.
But the peacefulness is deceiving. As a beginner diver my mind often goes into overdrive. All that stands between me and a painful fate is the tank of oxygen on my back.
I must remember complex hand signals, from those that communicate an animal sighting to the essential “I’m out of air” signal. I also need to remember things like my dive time and depth, and the location of my friend.
Therefore, the paradox: scuba diving (水肺潜水) is at once liberating and calm, and a challenging comprehension test. Funnily enough, the latter—the learning aspect of it—makes the former more enjoyable.
When was the last time you learned a new skill A truly new pursuit, not just an extension of your day-to-day With busy lives and careers, the learning slows. It’s rare we try something truly new.
Diving awakened me to the joy of learning new skills in adulthood. The activity is both exciting and has just enough danger to focus the mind; it forces you to wrestle with something unfamiliar and immerse yourself in the underwater world. It also forces you offline; there’s no checking emails 30 meters below the surface.
With more dives, there is always more to learn. New dive sites also bring their own challenges.
I’m lucky to have the time and money to take up new pursuits. Learning to dive isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every cent. One study found that people with hobbies had better health, more happiness and higher life satisfaction.
So why not consider trying something new-truly new There is a magical quality to being a beginner again, learning slowly, occasionally regressing (倒退) and sometimes progressing. And if you can do all that 20 meters under the sea, surrounded by curious turtles and friendly manta rays (蝠鲸), all the better.
51. What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Trapped in a dangerous environment. B. Forced to adapt to underwater pressure.
C. Distracted by surrounding creatures. D. completely involved in a new experience.
52. What is the paradox of scuba diving described in the text
A. It is both expensive and dangerous. B. It offers peace but requires strict training.
C. It is a test of courage and a waste of time. D. It allows freedom but causes memory loss.
53. Why does the author say the peacefulness of diving is “deceiving”
A. Because beginners must stay focused on safety. B. Because underwater creatures are dangerous.
C. Because oxygen tanks often fail unexpectedly. D. Because divers can easily get lost underwater.
54. How has diving influenced the author
A. It has helped the author to get over the fear of the ocean. B. It has improved their email management skills.
C. It has caused the pleasure of acquiring unfamiliar abilities. D. It has made the author prefer underwater world to daily life.
55. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text
A. To warn beginners about the dangers of diving. B. To describe the beauty of underwater world.
C. To encourage readers to try new experiences. D. To share tips on passing diving tests.

Fatema’s love for volleyball started when she was nine years old in Iran because of encouragement from her uncle. Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia, so she worked with community leaders to set up after-school matches in the local area. The community volleyball matches continued for three months and allowed Fatema to show her qualities as a skillful team player and leader among her peers.
Fatema believes that she needs to play in a professional club. However, as training sessions and matches are often in the evenings, the timing is not convenient for her because she can’t use public transport at that time. The club registration cost is also a problem. Fatema is a thoughtful girl and doesn’t want to put a financial strain on her family, so she continues to look for after-school work to earn money that could help cover the club registration costs and other expenses.
While she hasn’t joined a volleyball club yet, Fatema has joined the Dandenong Women’s Sports Hub for volleyball sessions run by the Centre for Multicultural Youth after school. Moslih, the coach, is inspired by her positive attitude towards various challenges since Fatema arrived in Australia.

【答案】Dear Mike,
Hope this email finds you well! Last Thursday morning, our school organized all Senior One students to visit the City Artificial Intelligence Lab. We gathered at the school gate at 8 a.m. and arrived at the lab after a 20-minute bus ride. The sunny day added to our excitement for the tech tour.
In the lab, we first heard a lecture by Professor Chen, who showed AI robots in heart surgeries. He explained how they make precise moves—smaller than a hair! Next, we watched a self-driving car simulation avoid virtual obstacles. The best part was trying AI painting: I typed “a panda in space,” and the app made a funny image with a spacesuit-wearing panda. Everyone laughed at the cute result.
The visit completely shifted my understanding of AI. What struck me most was how AI can turn imagination into reality. It inspired me to learn programming during summer break. Do you think AI will change the way we study in the future Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Jin
