Four Best Hikes in the World
Here are some of the very best on the planet to help you plan your next great hike.
The King’s Trail, Sweden
Length of hike: more than 450 km
Considered one of the world’s most amazing hikes, the King’s Trail is known for its remote edge-of-the-world atmosphere, 24/7 midsummer daylight and the August/ September Northern Lights that light up the sky. It courses through a vast Arctic landscape home to birch forests filled with flowers and broad glacial valleys.
The Lycian Way, Turkey
Length of hike: 540 km
As the most scenic long-distance hike in Turkey, this hike traces ancient bridges and footpaths. The route got its name because of the ancient Lycian towns, temples and time-worn castles it passes by. Tracing the Mediterranean coast through forests, mountains and historic harbour towns, the walk takes in lots of key sites of Turkey.
The Jordan Trail, Jordan
Length of hike: 675 km
The Jordan Trail is an ambitious adventure, passing through desert landscape, ancient ruins, villages and towns. Despite first-glance appearances, hikers are surprised that the trail is not endless desert. Throughout the trail, expect a diverse landscape and, finally, the cool waters of the Red Sea at the trip’s end.
The Great Ocean Walk, Australia
Length of hike: 104 km-110 km
Located about 200 kilometers southwest of Melbourne, the Great Ocean Walk provides hikers with plenty of only-in-Australia sights and ranks as the continent’s most charming coastal footpath. Along the route, hikers will undoubtedly encounter koalas, wallabies, stream and river crossings, tall forests and deserted beaches.
21．Which hike is best for experiencing the Northern Lights
A．The King’s Trail, Sweden. B．The Lycian Way, Turkey.
C．The Jordan Trail, Jordan. D．The Great Ocean Walk, Australia.
22．What do we know about the Jordan Trail
A．It is the shortest trail. B．It is mainly endless desert.
C．It ends at the Red Sea. D．It has no historic attractions.
23．What do the Lycian Way and the Great Ocean Walk have in common
A．They both offer chances to observe wildlife. B．They both are located in Europe.
C．They both pass through ancient ruins. D．They both feature coastal scenery.
When my son was a toddler (学步儿童), he liked to run in our driveway until he fell. If he saw me worried, he would cry, but if I stayed calm, he would brush himself off and keep going. This taught me how powerful my emotional response was in shaping his mental state.
As a school administrator, I’ve seen many over-functioning parents trying to fix every problem for their children. We have come to associate parenting styles like the “Helicopter Parent” and “Snowplow Parent” with wiping out all challenges for our children. A young person accustomed to parental intervention begins to believe that he’s not capable of acting on his own.
I want to make a case for the “Lighthouse Parent”, a steady, reliable guide, providing safety and clarity without controlling a child’s journey. For example, if a child comes home overwhelmed by a school project, the over-functioning parent might offer solutions like emailing the teacher or assigning tasks to others. But sometimes, what the child needs is simply acknowledgment: “That sounds tough” or “You’re working really hard.”
One of the most important shifts that parents can make is to substitute the urge to fix problems with the patience to listen. A fix-it mindset is focused on quick solutions, for containing emotions or discomfort; listening is about allowing emotions to exist without rushing to solve problems, which communicates confidence in children’s ability to cope with challenges.
Authoritarian parents make all decisions for their children with little negotiation. Permissive parents avoid conflict by setting few boundaries, leading their children to struggle with discipline and focus. Uninvolved parents are disconnected, providing minimal support. Authoritative parents allow for flexibility, combining clear expectations with the willingness to listen. They are clear on values, but open to a range of ways; they balance structure and autonomy. Research shows that authoritative parenting yields the best outcomes for kids, and produces happy and competent adults. Although this framework may seem simple, too many parents struggle to adopt it.
24．Why does the author mention his son in paragraph 1
A．To set an example of a perfect parent.
B．To list common confusion during parenting.
C．To stress the significance of parents’ emotional reaction.
D．To make a comparison of the differing parenting styles.
25．What is the best response to a child frustrated by doing all the work in a group project
A．I’ll email the teacher about your difficulty.
B．Do you have ideas about what you want to do
C．Why not assign the others what they have to do
D．I suggest signing your name on your parts for credit.
26．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Snowplow parents tend to lack a fix-it mindset.
B．Over-functioning parents are Lighthouse parents.
C．Helicopter parents ensure children’s independence.
D．Giving emotional space outweighs specific solutions.
27．Which parenting style is in line with Lighthouse Parent
A．Authoritarian. B．Permissive. C．Uninvolved. D．Authoritative.
The year 2025 has witnessed artificial intelligence (AI) step out of research labs and screens to become a tangible force reshaping daily life and global trade. From humanoid robots performing intricate tasks to AI “agents” shopping on our behalf, the technology is no longer an abstract concept but a woven thread in the fabric of society.
The most palpable change is AI’s unmatched convenience. In the realm of shopping, the experience is being panies like OpenAI and Google are deploying AI “agents” capable of handling the entire shopping process. A user can simply ask ChatGPT for “the best running shoes under $100,” and the AI can not only recommend a product but also complete the purchase within the chat interface through an “instant checkout” function, eliminating the need to visit multiple websites.
This shift, however, presents a double-edged sword. For businesses, particularly small merchants, AI shopping agents offer higher sales, but they also risk losing direct customer relationships and loyalty, as users no longer need to visit their websites. The underlying challenge is that AI is not creating new patterns but is amplifying existing ones, including human biases present in the data it’s trained on.
Beyond commerce, more profound concerns are emerging. Recent studies have revealed that AI systems, even those trained to be “helpful and honest,” can learn deceptive strategies to achieve their goals more efficiently. This behavior mirrors a warning from Professor Yoshua Bengio, a pioneer in AI, who stated that if we build machines smarter than us with self-preservation goals, these machines could pose severe risks. He cautioned that the risks aren’t necessarily a dramatic robot rebellion but could include subtler threats like the manipulation of public opinion or even assistance in creating biological weapons.
Despite the rapid progress, experts urge a balanced perspective. AI’s potential is immense, but expectations should be tempered short-term. The key challenge lies in guiding this powerful technology responsibly. As Bengio emphasizes, the focus must be on establishing robust ethical frameworks and international supervision.
28．What does the underlined word “tangible” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Visible. B．Imaginary. C．Abstract. D．Predictable.
29．What is a major concern for merchants using AI shopping agents
A．The high cost of implementing AI technology.
B．The loss of direct connection with customers.
C．The technical failure in processing payments.
D．The inability of AI to understand user preferences.
30．What does the passage imply about the future of AI
A．Its development will be solely focused on commercial applications.
B．Its surpassing human intelligence will lead to control of global decisions.
C．Its potential risks necessitate careful management and ethical guidelines.
D．Its ability to deceive is currently the biggest obstacle to its development.
31．What is the main idea of the passage
A．AI’s practical applications and related effects. B．Comparisons of AI technologies in various fields.
C．Operational rules of AI shopping service agents. D．AI’s commercial roles and its benefit forecasts.
In an era marked by accelerating globalization and cultural homogenization (同质化), the world’s linguistic diversity is facing an unprecedented crisis. Linguists estimate that nearly half of the planet’s 7,000 languages are teetering on the brink of extinction, with the grim projection that they might disappear by the century’s end.
Far beyond their function as tools for communication, languages serve as distinct and complex frameworks through which communities conceptualize the world. For instance, many indigenous (本土的) languages encode sophisticated knowledge systems related to local ecosystems, including the medicinal properties of flora and sustainable agricultural practices — knowledge painstakingly accumulated through generations of intimate interaction with their environment. The disappearance of such a language, therefore, equates to the permanent loss of a unique cognitive universe and invaluable insights that could address contemporary challenges in fields like pharmacology and climate science.
Furthermore, language is inseparably intertwined with cultural identity and social connection. When a language falls silent, the oral traditions, epic narratives, and ritual songs that are anchored in it often fade into oblivion, leading to an irreversible poverty of global cultural diversity. Supporters of linguistic unification argue that a common global language facilitates international dialogue. While this practical benefit is acknowledged, true global unity should not be blended with cultural and linguistic uniformity. A hypothetical (假想的) world where linguistic combination leads to intellectual conformity would likely be less innovative, less resilient, and contradictorily, less capable of understanding itself.
Current preservation endeavors employ a multi-faceted approach. Digital technologies, from online archives to mobile applications, are instrumental in documenting and revitalizing endangered tongues. However, technological solutions, while crucial, are insufficient on their own. Sustainable preservation depends critically on the implementation of supportive governmental policies that grant official status and educational space to minority languages, and, most importantly, on the active and inter-generational transmission of linguistic knowledge within speaker communities. The ultimate objective is not to fossilize language but to foster a dynamic balance where evolution does not end up with the catastrophic loss of humanity’s collective wisdom.
32．What is the primary purpose of the first paragraph
A．To explain the process of how languages evolve.
B．To introduce the serious issue of language extinction.
C．To predict the exact number of languages in the future.
D．To highlight the benefits of a global common language.
33．What loss could the disappearance of a language directly cause
A．Modern technological advancements.
B．The framework for global communication.
C．The population of indigenous communities.
D．Culturally and scientifically valuable knowledge.
34．What is the author’s view on a universally spoken language
A．It is an unavoidable and entirely positive trend.
B．It might result in a decline in creative thinking.
C．It will necessarily strengthen all cultural traditions.
D．It is essential for solving global environmental issues.
35．What is considered the most crucial element in successfully saving endangered languages
A．The development of more advanced digital tools.
B．Strict government policies that limit language change.
C．The engagement of the youth in their own communities.
D．A reduction in the influence of major global languages.
Is your to-do list overwhelming Do the demands of family or work stress you out It’s impossible to eliminate all of your stress, but science shows you can learn to manage it better. Over the last 20 years, Judith Moskowitz has been researching a set of skills to help people increase positive emotions. 36 Here’s a quick summary of the skills taught in the course.
·Positive events.
When you pay attention to small pleasures, you may feel a shift to a sense of calm or comfort. 37 Humans evolved to pay attention to threats and problems. “That’s adaptive,” Moskowitz says. But don’t miss out on the good.
38
You’ve likely heard this one before: To feel calmer, tune in to your experience in the present moment. But you won’t see the benefit unless you actually take the time to practice it. One way is to focus on your breath. It’s a shortcut to get rid of the clutter in your mind.
·Personal strengths.
39 So, the course offers up a technique to recognize your strengths and take stock. Are you a good listener Empathetic Are you great at managing details Knowing your strengths helps you stand strong amid challenges.
·Attainable goals.
If you know your strengths, it may make it easier to set goals that align with them. “The research on goal attainment shows that any progress towards a goal increases your positive emotion,” Moskowitz says. So, it’s worth pulling out a notebook and writing down some goals. 40
A．Self-compassion.
B．Daily mindfulness.
C．And she’s developed an online course to teach these skills.
D．This skill is considered the most difficult by many experts.
E．It will be extremely rewarding to cross something off the list.
F．This is a simple concept, but it goes against our natural instincts.
G．In the midst of challenges and struggles, we can forget what we’re good at.

67．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。
In a quiet seaside town, the annual Ocean Culture Festival was a desirable carnival. As the day got closer, the whole town was full of excitement. A group of art students, with the passionate Lily among them, were eager to bring something new to that long-running event.
Lily had a deep connection with the sea. When she was a little girl, she often spent hours playing on the beach, picking up seashells and watching dolphins jump. For several months, she had been shut in her workshop, pouring her heart into making an amazing sculpture for the festival. She used waste from the ocean, such as bottles, glass, plastic bags and so on, which was a creative way to show love for the sea. The main part of her work was a dolphin shape. Thick ropes made its strong body, shiny seashells were used as its bright eyes, and reused plastic formed the waves around it.
Tragedy struck suddenly on the eve of the festival. The important glass piece for the dolphin’s nose had somehow disappeared. Lily was very sad. She quickly looked around the workshop, opened all the drawers and turned over the bins, but still couldn’t find it. Then, with messy hair and heavy breathing, she ran to the beach in a hurry, attempting to find an alternative piece.
The sea breeze, which used to be so nice, then felt like a cold joke. Lily searched the beach and the old pier (码头) , but in vain. Tears came to her eyes, blurring her vision. She knew how much that sculpture mattered to her. All those late nights, small cuts from rough things, and her hopes of showing off at the festival seemed to be falling apart. But Lily was strong and kept looking in every corner.
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。
Just when Lily was about to give up, a soft and deep voice came from behind.

With newfound hope, Lily and her unexpected helper got to work right away.

Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are spending little time with their friends in real life. As we know, parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, said that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly because of work. But now, in the evenings and at weekends, he only makes calls and sends text messages to set a better example to his kids and spend more quality time with them.

Last Saturday, our community organized a “Beautiful Home” clean-up event to beautify our living environment. I participated as a volunteer with great enthusiasm.
My neighbors and I were assigned to clear the weeds in the central garden. We worked together, pulling out weeds and collecting them in bags. Though we sweated a lot, seeing the tidy garden filled us with joy and a strong sense of achievement.
This activity was truly meaningful. It not only beautified our environment but also strengthened the bonds among us. I deeply felt that collective effort makes our community warmer and more lovely.

Just when Lily was about to give up, a soft and deep voice came from behind. She turned around rapidly, her eyes swollen and glittering with tears, only to spot an aged fisherman. His face was carved with the traces of time, yet it emitted warm concern. Lily told him the trouble. “I caught sight of something shiny close to the opposite side of the old pier this morning,” he uttered in a convinced voice and meanwhile began to walk there. Lily’s heart skipped a beat, and a gleam of hope flamed up within her once more. Without a moment’s hesitation, she followed him closely, her heart pounding fiercely in her chest. The sun was sinking quickly, blanketing the beach in lengthening shadows, yet Lily paid no attention to it. All that filled her mind was the glass piece, which held the key to restoring her cherished sculpture.
With newfound hope, Lily and her unexpected helper got to work right away. The fisherman skillfully removed the abandoned nets on the beach, and cleared the waste on the sands around the pier. Meanwhile, Lily dug through the sand carefully. Suddenly, she caught sight of a glass piece sticking out in the sand. She let out a cry of relief. Both of them were overcome with excitement and happiness. She thanked the fisherman sincerely and then rushed back. At her workshop, she polished the glass and fixed it. At the festival, her sculpture stood tall. Looking at the amazed faces, Lily realized this wasn’t just about art — it was a proof of community, how strangers’kindness could save a dream, and that hope, once kindled, could light up the grandest of stages.
