The National Geographic Traveller (UK) Photography Competition is open for
entries — and we're after your most spectacular shots from the past year. To be in
with a chance of having your work published in the magazine, submit your images in
up to four categories. Judged by industry-leading photographers and editors, the
competition is your opportunity to be noticed and win a luxury three-night break.
THE CATEGORIES
- People
More often than not, it's the people you encounter that make a trip — but it can
be difficult capturing the character of someone you've only just met. Have you
managed it
- Landscape
Shooting a landscape might seem easy, but few can really draw out the defining
features. Can you identify fascinating contrasts, or show a level of detail that others
can't see
- Wildlife
Wildlife is one of the great wonders of travel. Spotting creatures in their natural
habitat can be about luck — capturing them with your camera is not.
- Food
Whether it's a local farmer bringing in the harvest or chefs hard at work in a
street kitchen, this category celebrates every stage of the cooking journey from field
to fork.
THE PRIZE
The Grand Prize winner, from the four categories, will receive a luxury
three-night escape to a UK hotel of their choice, courtesy of Small Luxury Hotels of
the World (SLH). With over 600 hotels in 90 destinations, including 36 in the UK,
SLH offers unique and charming stays with a strong sense of place, from stylish
city-center hotels to countrified fishermen's huts. The prize includes the SLH Book, a
limited-edition coffee-table book featuring the brand's beautifully organized
collections of products.
ENTER NOW
The competition closes on 14 January 2026 at 11:59 pm. The winner must be a
resident of the UK or Ireland and aged 18 or over. Judges to be announced. If you
need to see full T&Cs (terms and conditions), visit the magazine's website.

A. Free stays in SLH's 36 huts.
B. A book accessible to the masses.
C. Three nights in an elegant hotel.
D. Comments from leading experts.
23. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A magazine.

B
A few years ago, we bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) for my dad's birthday,
hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time.
Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to build the
model. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with precision in
numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction book. The evenings passed
quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing
good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the
building's floor, our conversation too took a turn.
We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We
realized the book itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and
clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the
instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the
box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again.
Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such
clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions
and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties,
on the uncertain path that lay ahead
Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling, but out in the world,
we were the ones being assembled. We think we're in control, but our choices are
shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed,
trusting both in the process and the end result.
Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the
completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It
reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no
instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life
well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but
rather how we lived it.
24. Which can best describe the author's experience of building the Lego model
A. Simple and uninteresting.
B. Imaginative and enjoyable.
C. Complicated and rewarding.
D. Challenging and discouraging.
25. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model
A. Life requires to be planned carefully.
B. Life doesn't come with clear guidance.
C. Mistakes in life can always be corrected.
D. Life's uncertainty makes it more exciting.
26. How does the author suggest we deal with uncertainty in life
A. By avoiding making any choice.
B. By focusing on instant end results.
C. By seeking instructions from others.
D. By moving forward with confidence.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Lego: A Symbol of Family Bond
B. Building with Lego: Lessons for Life
C. The Complexity of Architectural Models
D. Life: A Journey Without Instructions
C
Early in my academic career, I noticed that one of the most popular classes on
campus was Introduction to Astronomy, a general-science course. The students all
loved it — especially the non-science majors. I asked an economics student why she
enjoyed it so much. She didn't say anything about stars, but she said something about
earthly existence. "When I go into class on Thursday mornings, I am stressed out
about my life," she told me. "But 90 minutes later, I feel relief because I am just a
speck (尘埃) on a speck."
She was expressing a profound truth. We tend to believe that to be happier, we
need to become bigger in our own mind and in the minds of others. But that's wrong.
What we really need to achieve both the perspective on life and the peace is to get
smaller in relation to everything and everyone else. When we experience our own
littleness, we can relax into a humble reality of not being the object of attention and
criticism, and we can appreciate a magnificent universe without spoiling it with our
self-absorption.
You know that you are not the center of most things in life. It is very possible
that your own great-grandchildren will not know your name. And yet, when you don't
recognize these truths, you will have the illusion that you are the focus of intense
outside interest. But this comes at a cost. Thinking about yourself all the time makes
you miserable over the long term. Researchers have shown that such self-focus can
provoke emotional problems, making social situations or task performance feel
frightening and unpleasant. Self-focus is especially deleterious (有害的) for people
who by nature have high social anxiety.
An additional downside is that self-focus makes performing skilled tasks less
enjoyable. In a study of basketball players published in 2002, sports psychologists
instructed one group of players to focus on their own performance during warm-up.
These players experienced higher anxiety than others who were not given this
instruction.
All of this might strike you as strange. Getting happier often requires you to
resist your natural tendencies. The world is constantly inviting you to try to make
yourself appear bigger in others' eyes and in your own; this fact underpins (构成) the
entire social-media business model. However, the trick to finding happiness is to get
smaller.
28. What is the author's main purpose in quoting the economics student in Paragraph
1
A. To introduce the viewpoint.
B. To show the effects of astronomy knowledge.
C. To demonstrate the common anxiety problems.
D. To stress the courses' popularity among non-majors.
29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. People know they are not the world's center.
B. Ignoring external evaluation can bring happiness.
C. Excessive self-focus cause distress and discomfort.
D. Self-importance determines one's life value.
30. What is the possible outcome if a musician is instructed to focus on their
techniques
A. They would stay in full control of their performance.
B. They would feel more anxious and reduced enjoyment.
C. Their technique would receive praise from the audience.
D. They would enjoy the glory fueled by self-focus
31. Which of the following sayings can best illustrate the author's opinion
A. Still waters run deep.
B. The bigger the head, the smaller the world.
C. A small leak will sink a great ship.
D. To know oneself is the beginning of wisdom.
D
More than 1,000 metres below the surface of the oceans, darkness dominates.
Marine creatures rely on sound for navigation, communication, and searching for food.
However, this way of life has come under threat from shipping, contributing to a rise
in underwater volume of approximately 3.3 decibels (分贝) per decade. The trend
shows little sign of levelling off.
With roughly 90% of trade relying on shipping, quieting the ocean through
reductions in shipping itself is untenable. While efficiency improvements of shipping
may cut noise, experts say more is needed. That is why technologies like modified
propellers (螺旋桨) and noise-reducing materials are being developed to help humans
and marine life coexist.
Much of the underwater noise a ship produces comes from its propeller.
Spinning blades create low pressure, causing the water to boil and produce bubbles, a
process known as cavitation (空化现象). When these bubbles collapse, a
low-frequency noise is produced, disrupting the movements of marine lives.
One solution, being developed by researchers at the University of British
Columbia, integrates flexible polymers (聚合物) into the metal propeller blades,
allowing their tips to bend and twist. This movement prevents bubbles from forming
and thereby reduces the noise the blades produce. Based on simulations, the design
could reduce cavitation noise by 20 decibels. Dr. Jaiman says researchers intend to
start testing a model next year.
Cavitation can also be reduced by increasing the number of bubbles, rather than
reducing them. Researchers at MARIN, a Dutch research institute, have blown
bubbles onto a propeller's blades which can dampen the resulting noise. Model-scale
tests of this system showed a 12-decibel decrease in low-frequency noise. But
shipping noise does not come only from the propeller, with roughly 20% coming from
engines and generators. To reduce this, MARIN researchers have experimented with a
bubble screen generated from tubes positioned in belts around the outside of the ship.
These bubbles prevent noise from spreading.
32. Which best explains the underlined word “untenable” in paragraph 2
A. Impractical.
B. Unavailable.
C. Unstable.
D. Immeasurable.
33. What is the main source of underwater noise from ships
A. The spinning blades.
B. The process of cavitation.
C. The engines and generators.
D. The bubbles generated by ships.
34. What solution is being developed at MARIN
A. Boosting ship efficiency.
B. Creating flexible blade tips.
C. Generating more bubbles on blades.
D. Using quieter engines and generators.
35. What's the passage mainly about
A. Strategies to prevent ships from making noise.
B. Innovations to minimize underwater ship noise.
C. Adapted propeller designs to restore undersea quiet.
D. Negative impacts of underwater noise on marine life.

Cybercrime: The Dark Side of the Internet
It was estimated that as of November 2025, there were 4.6 billion Internet users
globally, representing almost 3/4 of the world's population. The Internet has, in a
relatively short span of time, completely revolutionized how we communicate with
each other, exchange information and conduct business. Unfortunately, due to its wide
reach and relative privacy, the Internet has become very attractive to criminals.
36. ___ In order to address this issue and avoid becoming a victim, we need to
develop an awareness of cybercrime.
37. ___ Phishing (网络钓鱼) is one of the most common types of cybercrime.
When clicking on links to dangerous websites or software, you may be fooled into
providing personal information such as passwords, usernames or financial details.
Malware (恶意软件), another form of cybercrime, can cause damage or gain illegal
access to a computer or network. Cybercriminals trick you into parting with your
money, infecting your computer with a virus to steal your personal data, or blocking
you from accessing your own data until a ransom (赎金) is paid. For example, in 2021,
a computer manufacturer suffered a ransomware attack. Cybercriminals took
advantage of a weakness in a server, accessed the company's files and demanded a
large sum of money.
Fortunately, you can take preventive measures to reduce your chances of falling
victim to such cybercrimes. 38. ___ Do not provide personal information on a website
you know nothing about, especially those that ask for your name, mailing address and
bank account number. To avoid getting taken in, be cautious about advertisements
offering bargains and rewards that seem too good to be true. And, of course, do not
open email attachments or click on links from unknown sources, no matter how
curious you might be. Secondly, you can turn to technical defenses to protect yourself
from cybercrime. Turn on your spam (垃圾邮件) blocker to prevent unwanted
messages from getting to your inbox. 39. ___ It is also a good idea to keep your
software and operating system up to date by downloading and installing the latest
security patches.
So, next time you go online, never drop your guard. 40. ___
A. Stay alert, smart and safe!
B. Cybercrime can come in many different forms.
C. Firstly, you need to stay alert when using the Internet.
D. Keeping a close eye on your personal information is a must.
E. There are cases where people suffered both financially and mentally.
F. Consequently, cybercrime has become a huge problem in recent years.
G. Make sure you have reliable antivirus software and always keep it turned on.

Once upon a time, much of the world was populated by wolves. They 41
all over the United States and Canada, Siberia and much of mainland Europe, as well
as Great Britain, and if humans hadn't come along, they would still be there in great
numbers. But man did come along, farmed the land, 42 the wolves killing their
livestock (家畜) and so gradually drove them out of the homes that had once been
theirs.
Wolves are not 43 in our language and literature, however. In fairy stories,
they are seen as evil and dangerous, always 44 to eat people. Remember the
time when Little Red Riding Hood thinks that a wolf is her grandmother If you really
want to see how English-speaking humans think of the wolf, just look at the 45 !
"A wolf in sheep's clothing" is not a pleasant person and a "wolf-whistle" is not a
pleasant sound!
Yet wolves are totally unlike the image we have of them from legend and
language. For a start, they don't 46 humans; indeed, they do their best to keep
out of our way. They are very sociable animals, living in packs and looking after their
young, which should make some humans 47 themselves. Instead of being 48 ,
the howl of the wolf — the cry of the whole pack — as the full moon rises in a
star-bright sky, is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. They are beautiful
creatures which can run at speeds of up to 65 kph if they have to. And when they do
49 , their 42 large teeth are fearlessly effective.
But the 50 remains that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we
demonize (妖魔化) the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world. Only
51 do writers treat them nicely; for example, a she-wolf is supposed to have fed the
twins Remus and Romulus, who went on to 52 the city of Rome.
And so, while man kills animals in their millions, often just for the fun of it, the
wolf represents a state of natural 53 that we do not know and can never obtain,
even though we 54 it in our hearts. Perhaps that's why, in the end, we 55
the wolf so much — for having something we can never get our hands on.
41. A. ruled B. migrated C. concentrated D. ranged
42. A. set aside B. approved of C. objected to D. worked out
43. A. killers B. victims C. characters D. criminals
44. A. reluctant B. ready C. unlikely D. sure
45. A. look B. sound C. language D. behaviour
46. A. avoid B. frighten C. attack D. protest
47. A. surprised at B. pleased with C. ashamed of D. interested in
48. A. loud B. peaceful C. musical D. soft
49. A. run B. jump C. kill D. cry
50. A. possibility B. mystery C. evidence D. fact
51. A. occasionally B. recently C. instantly D. ultimately
52. A. found B. ruin C. pollute D. mess
53. A. duty B. grace C. competition D. skill
54. A. criticize B. desire C. neglect D. learn
55. A. cage B. keep C. notice D. hate

阅读下列文章，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。
Last summer, my family and I went on camping by a small lake nestled in the
rural countryside. The lake was a local treasure, renowned for its crystal-clear water
that shone like shattered glass under the sun, reflecting the greenery of the
surrounding hills and the fluffy clouds drifting above. It was also home to flocks of
wild ducks—plump creatures with chestnut-brown feathers, bright orange bills, and
webbed feet that glided smoothly across the water's surface.
On the second morning, I arose at dawn, eager to appreciate the quiet beauty of
the lake before the rest of the family woke. As I wandered leisurely along the winding
lake bank, a faint, trembling sound suddenly pierced (刺破) the silence. Curious, I
followed the sound and soon spotted a baby duck huddled(蜷缩) pitifully on the grass.
Its left wing was twisted at an unnatural angle and it let out soft cries that tugged(用力
拉) at my heartstrings.
Not far away, in the shallow water near the shore, its mother swam anxiously in
circles, her neck stretched to full length as she quacked — her voice filled with
desperation, yet she dared not step onto the grass. Glancing around, I noticed a deep,
dark hole partially concealed by overgrown ferns(蕨) just a few meters away. It was
evident that the curious little duck had strayed too far from its mother, fell into the
hole, and twisted its wing while struggling out. I knew instinctively that I had to save
this helpless little life.
I gently picked up the baby duck and carried it back to our camping tent.

Dear Mr. White,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior 3 student who is privileged to be a volunteer to teach English at a rural
primary school this summer vacation. Having learned that the majority of the students there have
limited exposure to English, I am eager to make my classes engaging but lack experience in
tailoring lessons for young learners, so I’m writing to seek your professional guidance.
Could you share some specific teaching approaches that can arouse their interest, such as
adapting simple English songs to their language level Additionally, would you mind
recommending some low-cost teaching aids that can facilitate visual retention of vocabulary
I would be profoundly grateful if you could spare some time to offer your valuable advice.
Yours,
Li Hua

I gently picked up the baby duck and carried it back to our camping tent. My mom, who is a
nurse, came over at once. She found a small piece of soft cloth and a thin stick, fixed the baby
duck’s wing carefully and wrapped the cloth around it to keep it straight. We put the little duck in
a small box with some grass and water, leaving small pieces of bread every few hours. At first, it
was very shy, hiding in the corner of the box, but after a day, it started to eat from our hands and
make soft quacks. Its mother would fly to the tent every day, quacking outside.
When the baby duck could stand and walk again, I decided to take it back to the lake bank. I
carried the box to the grass near the water and opened it slowly. The baby duck hesitated for a
moment, and then waddled toward the lake. Unexpectedly, the little duck then turned around and
1
waddled back to me, rubbing my shoe with its body before running to join its mother. The mother
duck quacked a few times, as if saying thank you. Every time I look at the photos of the little duck,
I come to realize that protecting small lives is the best way to get close to nature.

Text 8 (第 14 题为推断题)
W: Which color do you think I should wear to meet the client
M: What You’ve been picking out the clothes since 8:00. Twenty minutes have passed and
you still haven’t made a choice
W: You know I always have problems making decisions.
M: Before we went on our trip last month, you had been thinking a lot about where to travel.
Yesterday you spent a long time thinking about whether to have hot pot or barbecue.
W: It does often take me a long time to make a decision, but only by comparison can I know what
is right and what is wrong. The more I care about things, the more I struggle to choose.
M: Hmm... It doesn’t matter what is right or wrong because there is no absolute right or
wrong in life. You never know which is suitable unless you try it. So spending a long time
making decisions doesn’t make sense.
W: OK, OK. Stop here.
M: Sure. I’ll drive Tom to school first.

M: I’m going base jumping this weekend. Do you want to go with me
W: No! I’m so scared of that. Don’t you think it is very dangerous If you’re not careful, you
could be killed. I went skateboarding once before. I dare not go again.
M: It’s an adventurous, free and thrilling sport. Extreme sports these days are well
equipped and I’m experienced, so it’s OK.
W: Let me put it this way. You know I’ve kept a dog for long.
M: Yes, it’s very smart.
W: Yeah, but I always have a leash attached to it if we go out. However smart the dog is, it is the
equivalent of a two-year-old child who couldn’t find his home without me. Therefore,
safety is our top priority. Freedom is not that important.
M: I often play extreme sports, including free climbing, bungee jumping and so on. It’s not
like what you said.

M: A guide named Persephone welcomes travelers to Greece and takes them through a famous
cave. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33
languages. Persephone is very intelligent. It’s a human-sized robot. It can give its part of the
tour in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language.
Persephone guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two
more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Kartalis is considering ways to increase its
speed.

Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who partners with Persephone. “It’s helpful, because it
speaks many languages,” she said. “There’s just a little delay in the touring.” She added,
“Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many
languages.” Karafera noted, however, that human tour guides must remain part of the
operation. “Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs,” she said.
“But I believe they cannot replace humans everywhere.”
