Ololo Farm Tour
If you’re looking to escape from the noise of city life the Ololo farm tour package in Kenya will offer the perfect day for families and groups.
Discover the secret of our farming practices, see firsthand how our fresh produce is grown and harvested daily, and gain insight into the journey from field to fork. You will also enjoy visiting our greenhouses, where you can identify various herbs, vegetables, and seasonal fruits.
Ololo features its environmentally-friendly farming techniques, including the production of our organic fertilizer “Ololo Worm Tea.” 100% of kitchen and food waste is either fed to the Ololo chickens or for fertilizer use in the farm. We are passionate about farming in balance with nature and regenerating the environment in which we are able to grow the most nutritious food, from our farm to your table!
At Ololo, we prepare set menus for the day based on what is fresh and seasonal in our farm. All chicken and duck meat is grown at Ololo as well as our fresh flavoured eggs. A day visit includes a 2-course lunch, a guided walk on the farm, and use of the pool.

“My father was a physicist. My mother’s an astronomer. I’m not going to lie, but no kid wants to be like their parents,” she jokes, semi-seriously. However, it was written in some sense that Sophie Blake, a physics professor, would end up in observational cosmology — the study of the origin and development of the universe using specialized telescopes.
Blake always enjoyed building things like a child engineer. It wasn’t unusual for her to experiment with her father’s research equipment. She thanks, in part, her short attention span for her inquisitiveness. “I am always looking for something.”
Initially, Blake planned a PhD in particle (粒子) physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab with equipment and tools scattering everywhere at the California Institute of Technology. “I didn’t know about observational cosmology then but thought, ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’”
She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo. “That really inspired my love for remote places,” she said.
After spending a year at the South Pole, she joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. At that time, the site decision was made for the largest radio telescope group on Earth. Eventually, she wanted to engineer her own instruments.
For the last few years, Blake has been searching for signs of the universe’s early existence — from the birth of the first stars to the “cosmic (宇宙的) dark ages” — and she’s building her own equipment to explore beyond the known universe, focusing on its distant past with novel radio technology. Since 2017, Blake and her team have been engineering and planting radio telescopes in two of the Earth’s most remote (and quietest) locations for the best shot at hearing the earliest voice of the universe.
“This was a leap of faith,” Blake recalls. “I had never done radio before but I thought, ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.’”
4. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Blake followed in her parents’ footsteps.
B. Blake developed an interest in time travel.
C. Blake lied about her parents’ professions.
D. Blake lived up to her parents’ expectations
5. What does the underlined word “inquisitiveness” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Talent. B. Courage. C. Curiosity. D. Intelligence.
6. What stimulated Blake’s passion for distant places
A. Her visit to a lab in a university.
B. Her wish to build her own equipment.
C. Her faith in hearing the cosmic sound.
D. Her experience at a South Pole Station.
7. Which of the following best describes Blake
A. Confident and caring. B. Generous and optimistic.
C. Modest and open-minded. D. Adventurous and innovative.
C
For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no.
The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies.
The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread.
The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier.
It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven.
8. What do the researchers focus on about the brain
A Its protecting system. B. Its exposure to diseases.
C. Its controlling function. D. Its connection to the body.
9. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2
A. By explaining a theory. B. By providing examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect.
10. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier
A. Cheaper. B. More specific.
C. Safer. D. More direct.
11. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph
A. Brain health depends on immune changes.
B. Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions.
C. The brain can help enhance psychological health.
D. The brain may be key to treating physical diseases.
D
Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.
Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity.
The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.
This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought.
Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.
But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.
12. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1
A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance.
C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines.
13. How does “digital microscope” function in the research
A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs.
C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns.
14. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude
A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought.
C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning.
15. Which of the following titles best suits this text
A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic
C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many of us have, at times, failed to pursue a goal. We want to get in shape and join a gym, but we soon stop going and end up spending our evenings on the couch instead. ____16____ Such goal-pursuit failure is so common — we make New Year’s resolutions, only to admit defeat just a few weeks into the new year.
____17____ I found in my own research that people believe time to be a crucial ingredient in pursuing the most frequently pursued goals, such as working out, or learning a language or instrument. The feeling that we don’t have enough hours has become such an integral part of our lives that we almost take it for granted to never feel like we have enough time.
New research, however, shows a simple trick that allows us to get back some control and bounce back from goal-pursuit failure. ____18____ This simple shift in language allows us to feel like how we dealt with our lack of time was a choice, and that we can change our approach in the future and regain motivation.
In a study with 300 online participants, Luis Abreu discovered those instructed to speak about a goal-pursuit failure in terms of not having made the time were more motivated to get back on track with their goal. ____19____ This interesting effect occurs because people feel more in control of their time when they talk about making the time, or even not making the time.
How we speak can have a powerful effect not only on others, but even on ourselves. When we fail at something, it’s up to us to tell ourselves a story about what happened, and how we can do better in the future. ____20____ We can thereby find the motivation to make time to pursue our important goals.
A. Learning to manage our time effectively is the key to pursuing goals.
B. One way to help is to talk about time in a way that makes us its active managers.
C. This benefit was even sustained, as people reported stronger resolve a week later.
D. Hence, we must learn to prioritize our goals more effectively over other activities.
E. One of the most common reasons behind our failure to attain goals is lack of time.
F. Or we buy ingredients to cook better food, only to go back to our take-out habits soon.
G. Instead of saying that we didn’t have the time, we can say that we didn’t make the time.

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。
The girls sat under their sign in the park, which read “Decorate Your Bike Here!” Park managers had set up a Bike Parade. Bella and Mia planned to earn money by decorating kids’ bikes for the event.
Mia’s dad, an inventor, had given them a basket of bells, whistles, gadgets (小配件) and spare parts. Bella, who loves painting, brought paints, brushes, stickers, feathers and other decorations. They had already decorated a few bikes, but Bella felt frustrated.
“Your mechanical things are better,” Bella grumbled to Mia, watching her friend easily assemble the parts of a fancy bell. She held up her own works — colorful flags and a dragon-painted horn — and sighed, wishing they had more use. “The horn sounds like an annoying goose, not a dragon!” she complained. Mia laughed out loud, truly delighted by the funny sound, and confidently told Bella the customer would find it charming.
Just then, Bella looked at the bike bell she’d been trying to assemble. “See Every mechanical thing I try fails!” she murmured. Mia leaned over to offer suggestions. Bella tried again, but the pieces still wouldn’t work. Her frustration grew. “I don’t know what I’m doing!” she cried, throwing the bell onto the grass and sitting back beside it, defeated. “Try again, Bella! You can do this,” Mia encouraged gently. Bella kept her eyes shut, hoping no customers would come and pretending she wasn’t a total failure.
But soon a shadow blocked her sun. Her brother Leo and his friend Izzy stood there. “Your bikes need decorating!” Mia announced before Bella could speak. “That’s why we’re here!” Izzy smiled. Bella’s mouth fell open in surprise, but she quickly closed it, afraid to look silly.
After discussing ideas, Mia sent the boys away. She grabbed Bella’s arm and said, “We’ll make these the coolest bikes. You do Izzy’s, and I’ll do Leo’s. Come on!”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
