UK Walking Festivals
The Isle of Wight Walking Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year — and a number of similar events are taking place across the UK as the weather warms up.
Isle of Wight Walking Festival
This festival celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024, with an event in spring and another in autumn. Book onto the spring session to see the island’s natural world beginning to stir — guided walks take participants in search of red squirrels, passing through bluebell woods, participating in a seagrass harvesting project and exploring the fantastic scenery of West Wight. 11-19 May isleofwightwalkingfestival.co.uk.
Winchcombe Walking Festival
Hikers come to the Cotswolds for the wooded cliffs and the windswept plain, but it’s also beloved for having some of England’s loveliest towns and villages. Among them is Winchcombe, an ancient Anglo-Saxon capital hosting a walking festival in May. Hikes explore pubs, parishes and pathways — including a meteorite-themed walk in honour of a celestial object (天体) that crash landed in February 2021. 17-19 May .
Richmond Walking and Book Festival
The festival offers a two for one, promising to combine “boots and books”, “walks and words”. This year’s schedule is still to be confirmed, but expect to spend days pacing the uplands of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with evenings resting tired feet but exercising curious minds, listening to authors read from their work. 20-29 September booksandboots.org.
1. What are the participants expected to do in Isle of Wight Walking Festival
A. Having guided walks for free. B. Engaging in a seagrass harvest.
C. Observing red squirrels in autumn. D. Enjoying the wonderful plain scenery.
2. What is the aim of the meteorite-themed walk at Winchcombe Walking Festival
A. To promote local pubs and parishes.
B. To celebrate the town’s rich cultural heritage.
C. To explore the wooded cliffs of the Cotswolds.
D. To honour a celestial body that crash-landed in the area.
3. What do the last two festivals have in common
A. They are held in the same month.
B. They feature guided walks in national parks.
C. They are primarily focused on literary activities.
D. They offer a combination of walking and other activities.
B
It’s all too common for some nonprofits to jump into countries to “fix” problems and then leave. When 25-year-old Maggie Grout started her nonprofit, she wanted to do the opposite.
Grout came up with the idea for Thinking Huts in 2015, when she was a teenager. The organization is a nonprofit devoted to building schools in communities that need them. In 2022, Thinking Huts built its first 3D-printed school in Fianarantsoa, a city in Madagascar, an island country lying off the southeastern coast of Africa. Now it’s preparing to uncover its second 3D-printed campus, nicknamed “Honeycomb (蜂巢),” on the west coast of the African island.
The campuses are made up of several huts (棚屋) and use a honeycomb design with solar panels; they also have drinkable water, Wi-Fi, and toilets. While the first campus is in a city area of Madagascar, the new campus will be in a more remote location, serving three villages in the southwestern region of the African island, where more than 200 students aged 4 to 16 live.
Grout has a degree in international development, and is considering launching Thinking Huts in a number of different countries. She settled on Madagascar because it has both a struggling education system and a government that welcomes outsiders. According to the United Nations, by 2022, about three out of four secondary-age children there were not attending school.
Grout says that from the start, she wanted to employ local construction teams, and Thinking Huts buys all the doors and windows locally in order to honor traditional building methods. In addition to building Honeycomb, Thinking Huts is also working to establish 3D-technician programs for native teams with on-site training to create more local jobs.
“Thinking Huts aims to ‘bridge the divide between poverty and opportunity’ through education,” Grout says. “I think that education is at the root of solving all the other problems in the world.”
4. What can we know about the “Honeycomb” campus
A. It is a profitable project.
B. It is located in a city area of Madagascar.
C. It will provide services for over 200 students.
D. It is the first 3D-printed school built by Thinking Huts.
5. What led to Grout’s first project on Madagascar
A. Its poor education system. B. Its remote location.
C. Its traditional buildings. D. Its large population.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Maggie Grout
A. Selfless and cautious. B. Innovative and warm-hearted.
C. Hard-working and generous. D. Ambitious and conventional.
7. What is the purpose of Thinking Huts
A. To promote 3D printing technology globally.
B. To provide temporary education in rural areas.
C. To replace traditional schools with modern facilities.
D. To address educational inequality with sustainable ways.
C
From sniffing out rare species to tracking down poachers, dogs aid conservation efforts in a surprising variety of ways. And a growing list of successes shows how our best friends’ legendary noses can be an especially powerful weapon in the battle against invasive (入侵的) organisms. Lately dogs have proved to be particularly useful friends against one unwelcome guest: spotted lanternflies (斑衣蜡蝉).
Native to Asia, these insects were seen in Pennsylvania in 2014 and soon spread across the eastern and central U.S. The species is especially threatening to vineyards (葡萄园), as it can severely damage grapevines over time. Getting rid of that invasion early on is important. But that also means finding and destroying spotted lanternfly egg masses, whose light-brown, dirtlike appearance makes them extremely difficult to see.
For a recent study, Fuller and her team compared dogs with humans at finding spotted lanternfly eggs. Humans did better within the vineyards, where they could search systematically up and down the vines — but the dogs detected over three times more egg masses in nearby forested areas. Fuller suggests that dogs could also be more effective in vineyards with lower-level invasions, catching the smell in large areas that would be too time-consuming for humans to search.
According to Ngaio Richards, an ecologist at the University of Florida, this is an ever expanding field of research — and practical use. “Worldwide, detection dog teams are being integrated into efforts to deter, monitor and fight the presence of invasive species,” she says, from insects and plants to fish and mammals.
In North America, trained dogs inspect watercraft to detect invasive mussels before they catch a ride to new waters. In Montana, dogs identify dyer’s woad, an invasive plant that can harm native vegetation and is hard for humans to detect during parts of its life cycle.
“Dogs tend to be an excellent real-time detector that is hard to match,” says Hall, an animal behaviorist at Texas Tech University. “I think there is a capacity for broader use.”
8. Why are the spotted lanternfly eggs hard to find
A. They are in earthy color. B. They are too small to see.
C. They only exist in forests. D. They are buried underground.
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Dogs detect the smell effectively in large areas.
B. Systematic searches are dogs’ main strength.
C. Humans outperform dogs in all environments.
D Dogs rely on vision to find eggs in forests.
10. Why does the author mention trained dogs in North America
A. To criticize human inefficiency in monitoring boats.
B. To highlight dogs’ ability to protect endangered mussels.
C. To illustrate dogs’ diverse roles in detecting invasive organisms.
D. To emphasize the danger of watercraft spreading invasive species.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Human-Dog Teamwork B. Saving Vineyards with Dogs
C. Dog Noses: Fighting Invasives D. Dogs Fighting Against Organisms
D
The far side of the moon has been a point of fascination for scientists since they first peered at it in black and white images captured in 1959 — and realized how different it was from the side facing Earth. The far side appeared to show a record of impact — covered in craters (坑) of different sizes and ages.
Decades later, and some five years since the Chang’e-4 mission made China the first and only country to complete a soft landing on the far side, scientists both from China and around the world have high hopes for the information that can be collected from the samples.
“It’s a gold mine,” said James Head, a professor of planetary geosciences at Brown University, who together with European scientists, collaborated with Chinese scientists analyzing samples from the Chang’e-5 mission that returned near-side samples. “International scientists are totally excited about the mission,” he said.
Experts say analysis of the composition and physical properties of the samples could help advance efforts to learn how to use resources on the moon for future lunar and space exploration. “The Chang’e-6 mission is focused on answering specific scientific questions, but the lunar soils collected from the mission can also support future resource utilization,” said Yuqi Qian, a planetary geologist at the University of Hong Kong.
Lunar soil could be used for 3-D printing to produce bricks for construction of research bases on the moon, while some scientists were already working on finding more economical and practical technologies to extract gases like Helium-3, oxygen and hydrogen from the soil, which could support further lunar exploration, he said.
Once they receive the samples, Chinese scientists are expected to share data and carry out joint research with international partners, before Beijing later opens the samples for access by international teams, according to statements from CNSA officials.
12. What do we know about the far side of the moon
A. It lacks craters made by impacts.
B. China is the first country to land on it.
C. The far side of the moon faces the earth.
D. It is smoother and less impacted than the near side.
13. What is the main mission of Chang’e-5
A. Landing on the far side to study resource use.
B. Producing bricks using far-side lunar materials.
C. Extracting Helium-3 from lunar soil for energy.
D. Collecting samples from the near side of the moon.
14 What does the underlined word “utilization” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Usage. B. Collection. C. Management. D. Conservation.
15. What does the text emphasize about China’s lunar missions
A. Their competition with other space agencies.
B. Their focus on the discovery of lunar resources.
C. Their role in promoting global scientific cooperation.
D. Their exploration of ancient life traces on the moon.

47. 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。
Seventeen-year-old Alex lived in a small town where everyone knew each other. His family struggled to make ends meet, and he often felt ashamed of their worn-out bike, which had a squeaky (嘎吱作响的) wheel and a rusty chain. Whenever he passed the sleek bikes parked outside the high school, Alex would put his baseball cap lower, hoping no one would notice his ride.
One afternoon, he noticed Mrs. Thompson, his elderly neighbor, struggling to carry groceries up her driveway. Alex jogged over without a moment’s hesitation. “Here, let me carry those for you,” he said, his voice warm with urgency. “Thank you, dear.” Mrs. Thompson said, smiling, “My son, James, used to do this for me. He’s overseas now.” She invited Alex in for lemonade, and they talked for hours. Alex learned that Mrs. Thompson’s son was very busy, and she missed him deeply.
The next morning, Alex found an envelope under his front doormat. A folded note was inside it. “You’re a kind soul. Please use this.” The neat handwriting read. It was from Mrs. Thompson. Besides, he found a key carved with the word Garage. Heart pounding, he unlocked Mrs. Thompson’s garage door. Sunlight went through dusty windows, landing on a gleaming silver bicycle — a vision of polished metal and smooth leather, untouched by time.
“It’s been sitting here for years,” Mrs. Thompson said gently from behind him. “James wants someone to love it again. And I think that someone is you.” Alex hesitated. The bike was clearly expensive. But Mrs. Thompson insisted, “It’s been gathering dust. Your legs are younger than mine.”
Weeks later, the silver bike became a fixture in the town. Alex used the bike to run errands for Mrs. Thompson, deliver groceries to other neighbors, and even teach kids in the park how to ride.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One afternoon, Alex found Mrs. Thompson crying softly, “It’s my son’s birthday.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As planned in the call, James returned home later and he saw Alex riding his bike.

47.【答案】范文
One afternoon, Alex found Mrs. Thompson crying softly, “It’s my son’s birthday.” Hearing this, Alex hugged her gently. That night, he organized a surprise party with the neighbors. They decorated Mrs. Thompson’s yard with balloons, baked a cake, and even convinced the local radio station to play her son’s favorite song. When Mrs. Thompson saw the gathering, she was deeply touched and burst into tears of joy. Mrs. Thompson smiled through tears as Alex lit the candles, the silver bike’s bell ringing softly in the background like a warm hug. They also managed to make a call to her son, in which James told his mom that he would be back soon.
As planned in the call, James returned home later and he saw Alex riding his bike. When Mrs. Thompson told him all the things about the bike, he was so moved that he hugged Alex tightly. “Thanks for taking care of my mom and this bike,” James said with a smile on his face, patting the seat of the bike, “and it belongs to you forever.” Seeing what had happened, Alex felt a surge of gratitude, not just for the bike, but for the way a single act of kindness had turned his world from gray to gleaming. He also realized kindness was like a wheel — it kept going, turning small acts into big warmth.
