We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful natural attractions on the European continent, which are perfect for those who love to travel around the world. We’re sure they will take your breath away.
Capri’s Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.
The Tuscan Countryside
Few views arc as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.
Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher
The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold—the rugged cliffs rise up 214 m high from the water and are 7 km long With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.
21. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto
A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting.

As the founder of Code Blue CPR, Sullivan dedicates himself to teaching the vital skills of CPR and using defibrillator (除颤器), both at home and globally. Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏停止), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes.
To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest.
“It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment.
During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share what he knew about CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills.
Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge.
24. Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas
A. To lift climbers’ survival chances.
B. To advertise his new defibrillator.
C. To promote his CPR training company.
D. To test the device in extreme conditions.
25. What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival
A. Climbing mountains was risky.
B. Sullivan’s effort paid off.
C. There were too few defibrillators.
D. Sullivan’s journey was adventurous.
26. What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal
A. He presented a training initiative.
B. He inspired people to extend CPR.
C. He installed defibrillators across the country.
D. He provided relevant knowledge on CPR training for locals.
27. What does the underlined word “conceives” in the last paragraph mean
A. Imagines. B. Announces. C. Witnesses. D. Doubts.
C
Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (测量仪器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress—all of which are tied to ageing and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity,” said Dr John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly—with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.
28. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To find new use of caffeine in medicine.
B. To identify how caffeine influences cell ageing.
C. To explore the history of caffeine consumption.
D. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
29. What does TOR serve as
A. An obvious sign of ageing. C. A growth command center.
B. An energy source. D. A cellular fuel gauge.
30. Which aspect does John-Patrick state about the research in the last paragraph
A. Its disadvantages. B. Its potentials.
C. Its characteristics. D. Its economic benefits.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long
B. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells
C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Ageing’s Hidden Pathways
D. Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch
D
In recent years, research into using robots as carers or nurses has grown significantly.
A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. “The robot never experiences exhaustion or boredom,” the professor remarks. “The robot could be caring for the elderly within 10 years, although they are far from perfect now.”
Some major technology companies are also actively involved in the research of robo-nurses. However, a researcher admits that not everyone is receptive to the idea of having a robot as a carer.
This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance to the use of humanoid robots in elderly care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by “machines”.
Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robo-pets have already found applications worldwide. A therapeutic robo-seal, developed in Japan, has been shown to relieve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (痴呆). A doctor states, “Some patients who were previously non-verbal started speaking again first to the seal, and then to others about the seal.” The doctor acknowledges that there are limitations to robo-pets, especially the high cost. One such robo-pet is priced at about $5,000.
Robotic solutions also have their disadvantages. Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further loneliness of the elderly. “We must pose the question: Are robots isolating people more, or truly helping them ” he says. He also mentions that the use of robotics raises issues regarding personal data security. Despite these doubts, the expert believes that the development of robo-care is inevitable.
32. What can Nadine do according to the text
A. Cook meals for patients. B. Monitor nurses and doctors.
C. Look after patients. D. Do heavy work for the elderly.
33. Why do some people dislike the idea of using humanoid robots in elderly care
A. Robots are too expensive.
B. Robots cannot relieve dementia symptoms.
C. They think robots fail to handle emergencies.
D. They disbelieve machines’ caring for loved ones.
34. What can we infer about robo-pets from the text
A. They are only available in Japan at present.
B. The low price makes them accessible most people.
C. They are more widely accepted than humanoid robots.
D. They have successfully cured dementia in many patients.
35. What is the author’s overall attitude to robotic carers
A. Objective. B. Appreciative. C. Opposed. D. Indifferent.

A Guide to Self-improvement
We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day—by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! 36 Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action.
Practice mindfulness daily. 37 Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts.
38 This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.
Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal—like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. 39 A shared journey makes goals more motivating.
Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about—cooking, playing the guitar, or coding—and practice a little each day. 40
Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave, mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself.
A. You can get a friend’s support.
B. Try extreme sport once a while.
C. Say “yes” to something that scares you.
D. Mental health is as important as physical health.
E. Your progress each day is not significant enough.
F. The goal is to explore and grow, not to master it.
G. The real challenge lies in these small consistent actions.

While Fujian is one of China’s coastal provinces, it may also be one of the most underrated, especially as a travel destination. My recent journey to Fujian 56 (mark) by what was my first trip to China in seven years. I had modest expectations, having chosen the location for its closeness to Jiangxi Province, in 57 I had settled. However, during my week there, I visited three of its main 58 (city)—Xiamen, Quanzhou, and provincial capital Fuzhou—which turned out to he very 59 (memory) destinations.
As a coastal province, Fujian plays 60 essential role in China’s ties with the wider world. Quanzhou was a booming port that hosted traders throughout Asia and from as far as the Arab world, a history 61 (represent) by the architectural style of its various temples and churches. Meanwhile, millions of Fujan people migrated to places throughout Asia, which is why countries 62 Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia have flourishing communities of Hokkien(闽南语) speakers.
A great number of Fujian people also crossed the Taiwan Straits 63 (live) on the attractive island, 64 (result) in over three-quarters of Taiwan residents having roots in Fujian. It’s interesting that the largest number of overseas Chinese people 65 (original) came from Fujian, not South China’s Guangdong Province as I had always thought.

My mom had a good reputation for her honesty in the community, and she always shared the stories behind it. She once said to me, “Good grades could open doors, but strong morals and virtues would guide you through them.” So, I took all her words to heart. I worked very hard. I helped my classmates with their homework, and I always followed the school rules.
When Mr Clark announced my name, I was so happy. My best friend, Sarah, gave me a big smile. I couldn’t wait to tell my mom.
The award was a small, shiny badge (徽章). I pinned it to my schoolbag with pride. For a whole week, I felt like I was on top of the world. My mom said she was proud of me. However, something happened. I was looking for my English book in my schoolbag when I found something that made my heart stop. It was Sarah’s math competition medal. She was looking for it everywhere last week, even crying because she thought she had lost it forever.
I felt terrible. I remembered that last week, I had borrowed her math book, and the medal must have fallen into my bag accidentally. But if I told everyone the truth, what would they think Would they say I was a thief My parents would be disappointed, and my friends might laugh at me. I thought about just putting the medal in Sarah’s desk secretly. No one would know, and I could keep my perfect image. It seemed like the easiest way out.

M: Talking about innovations, you’ll find some of man’s great discoveries were made entirely by accident.
W: By accident Any examples
M: You know chocolate chip cookies, right It’s said that one day in the 1930s, Mrs Wakefield, the owner of a restaurant, was making chocolate cookies but ran out of regular baker’s chocolate, so she replaced it with broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate, thinking that it would melt and mix into the flour. It clearly did not, and the chocolate chip cookie was born.
W: That’s really a sweet accident.
M: Another example is potato chips. The first potato chip was invented by George Crum in 1853. As a cook, George Crum was fed up with the constant complaints of a customer who kept sending his potatoes back to the kitchen because they were too thick. Though unwilling to accept the criticism, Mr Crum tried to slice the paper-thin potatoes. Deep fried, the potatoes became quite hard and dry and impossible to eat with a fork.
W: So, Mr Crum made a mistake while cooking.
M: Right. But to Crum’s surprise, the customer was crazy about the new chips. Soon, the new chips became a regular item on the restaurant’s menu.
W: Interesting! I’ve never heard the stories before.

M: I’ve always been interested in sports. I started swimming at the age of three, and I won regional competitions when I was nine. At primary school, I played football for the county team. Then, at high school, I discovered cycling. I dreamed of winning the Tour de France, the world’s most famous and most difficult bicycle race, someday. But when I moved to Edinburgh, Britain for college, I began experiencing regular injuries. My coach said it’s probably due to the changes in climate. Cold weather can cause tightness throughout the body, and Scottish temperatures are certainly cooler than I was used to back home in Spain! Though I was in quite a bit of pain, I decided to work on my flexibility. As a cyclist, I have always been more focused on reducing my body fat and building up my leg muscles. So I nervously signed up for my first yoga class. To begin with, I could hardly touch my toes, and I was upset about that. But I kept going, and sure enough, my injuries slowly went away. Besides, I gained greater control over my breathing which has really helped me in my cycling, too!

参考范文：
Celebrating the Sixth School Environmental Protection Day
On the afternoon of November 10th, our school newspaper organized a volunteer environmental activity in a nearby park to celebrate the Sixth School Environmental Protection Day.
During the activity, with the park management’s permission, we worked in teams to accomplish different tasks. Some of us picked up litter around, while others planted flowers and trees in bare areas. Besides, many placed signs to remind visitors of eco-friendly practices. Finally, we were proud of the “green corner” that had buzzed with teamwork, and we were glad to find the park had become cleaner and greener.
The activity beautified the park, turning it into a more pleasant place for the community. More importantly, it inspired us, modern young people, to take greater responsibility for our surroundings.
第二节
参考范文：
Not knowing what to do, I found my parents and poured out my story. They listened, and then my mom shared her story, "When I was at high school. I found a beautiful silver necklace in the restroom. I loved it and could have kept it. But finally, I chose to be an honest person and handed it over to the lost and found. Later, I learned that it belonged to a schoolgirl, which was a gift from her grandmother. Seeing her joy, I knew I had done the right thing.” Her story resonated with me, and I knew what I should do next.
Influenced by my mom’s story, I went to school with a clear purpose. First, I found Sarah and returned the medal, apologizing for my mistake. Sarah was so overjoyed to have it back. Then I went to Mr Clark and told him the whole story. After hearing it, he smiled. “Alex,” he said, “anyone can make a mistake. But it takes real courage and integrity to correct it. You have shown me today that you truly deserve your award.” His words made me feel that the badge on my bag was finally earned, and it felt better than ever before.
