Discover World Heritage
Heritage is treasure from the past — what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations. To preserve it, UNESCO safeguards hundreds of natural and cultural World Heritage sites around the world.
Here are 4 World Heritage sites:
Historic Centre of Rome
Founded, according to legend, by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC, Rome was first the centre of the Roman Republic, then of the Roman Empire, and it became the capital of the Christian world in the 4th century.
Ancient City of Damascus
Founded in 3000 BC, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a splendid craft industry, specializing in swords. The city has some 125 monuments from different periods of its history.
Old Havana
Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had become one of the Caribbean’s main centres for ship-building. Although it is today a modern city, its old centre remains an interesting mix of Baroque and neoclassical (新古典主义的) monuments.
Ancient City of Pingyao
Pingyao, founded in the 14th century, shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over five centuries. Of special interest are the splendid buildings associated with banking, for which Pingyao was the major centre for the whole of China in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
21．Which of the following was last founded
A．Rome. B．Pingyao. C．Havana. D．Damascus.
22．What can we learn from the text
A．Havana became a modern city in the 16th century.
B．Damascus was well-known for its craft industry.
C．Pingyao was once the major centre for ships in China.
D．Rome was founded by the Spanish.
23．In which section of a magazine can we read the text
A．Culture. B．Nature. C．Education. D．Environment.
On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of wellingtons (防水橡胶靴) and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certificated forest school.
When I first entered them for the forest school programme, I loved the idea, but as a mum, I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long Would they stay engaged for that many hours Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly. They stared at me in confusion. They didn’t understand my question, which fittingly removed it.
In this programme, kids direct their own play, climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake. They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to adjust themselves. Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.
“What about all the things they’re missing in real school ” concerned parents have asked me. Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close — a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting. They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.
I am grateful that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors. They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.
24．What is special about the forest school programme
A．Teachers engage in kids’ play.
B．Kids play and learn outdoors.
C．It focuses on nature protection.
D．It offers various food and drinks.
25．What does the author think of her kids’ reaction to her questions
A．It’s awkward. B．It’s worrying.
C．It’s comforting. D．It’s discouraging.
26．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The concerns caused by the programme.
B．The benefits gained from role-play.
C．The skills acquired by children.
D．The games loved by teachers.
27．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Nature: the wonderland for the young
B．The forest school programme proves a hit
C．Parks are replacing traditional schools
D．Forest school is a fine place for my kids
Arabidopsis thaliana (拟南芥), a small thin weed of the mustard family, never seemed likely to gain scientific fame. Yet this common plant has greatly changed from an ignored weed to a biological superstar due to scientists’ foresight, continuous exploration and joint efforts.
Arabidopsis’ journey began with young geneticist George Rédei. At first, Rédei’s research on this weed was widely doubted because many thought only valuable crops or decorative plants were worth studying. But he carried its seeds all the time and later continued research in the US. Inspired by German botanist Friedrich Laibach, he saw its value as a model organism, similar to fruit flies in pared with corn and wheat, Arabidopsis has clear advantages: small size, short growth cycle, many seeds, but what sets it apart from other experimental plants is its only five pairs of chromosomes (染色体), making gene location much easier.
In the 1980s, young scientists like Chris Somerville and Elliot Meyerowitz also noticed its potential. They proved its value through experiments, finding its small genome with little repeated DNA made gene discovery easier. In 2000, a global team finished its research and published the result in Nature, which provided a solid base for future studies.
Today, researches on Arabidopsis have provided important support for crop output expansion, ecological system management and climate change reduction. For instance, the genes identified in Arabidopsis have helped scientists understand the fruit development mechanism of tomatoes and improve the stress resistance of rice.
Beyond plant science, Arabidopsis has also brought new insights to human health research. Notably, about 70% of human cancer-related genes and genes related to neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s all exist in this plant.
Arabidopsis is not without limitations. Its simple structure, while useful for genetic research, cannot fully represent the complexity of crops like wheat or corn. However, even with these concerns, this once-ignored weed has already proved that great scientific value can lie in the most unexpected places, and it continues to inspire researchers to explore the mysteries of life.
28．What is special about Arabidopsis as a model organism
A．Its abundant seeds. B．Its brief life period.
C．Its few chromosomes. D．Its unique outer shape.
29．What can be inferred about the Arabidopsis research
A．It cast new light on medical studies. B．It prioritized traditional model organisms.
C．It gained support from most geneticists. D．It targeted major management problems.
30．What is the function of the last paragraph
A．To prove the complexity of Arabidopsis. B．To stress the limitations of Arabidopsis.
C．To restate the importance of Arabidopsis. D．To underline the structure of Arabidopsis.
31．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Applications of Arabidopsis Studies
B．The Link between Arabidopsis and Humans
C．The Discovery of Small Genome in Arabidopsis
D．The Course of Arabidopsis from Weed to Treasure
Countless thousands of city dwellers in Britain and elsewhere have, in the past two years, become acutely aware of the green spaces in their midst. Indeed, many people only discovered them during lockdowns, when escaping to the great outdoors was a vital factor in maintaining physical and mental wellbeing.
Many south Londoners who have found solace in nature owe thanks to campaigners who, over the past 40 years and more, have put pressure on local and national bodies to protect precious green space. Although it is hard to envisage today, until the end of the 18th century extensive oak woodlands stretched for some seven miles across what is now suburban south London. What remains of them is the nearest ancient woodland to central London.
Ancient woodland, as defined by the government agency Natural England, is land on which the tree cover has been in continuous existence since 1600; before that date, plantation was rare, so woods that existed in 1600 are considered to have developed naturally. According to the Woodland Trust, ancient woodland covers just 2.5 per cent of the land area of England and Wales.
The Ancient Woodland Inventory, set up by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1981 and maintained by Natural England, says some 7 per cent of ancient woodland that was present in 1930 has been grubbed up for farming or other uses, and 38 per cent has been replaced with plantations, often of single-species conifers that offer little diversity of habitat.
The reasons the old North Wood survived for so long when surrounding areas were converted to farmland was that the steep terrain was unsuitable for arable or pasture, and because it lay on the sparsely populated margins of several parishes. It was also a valuable economic resource: for at least a millennium, the wood was intensely cultivated to provide timber, for furniture, tools and shipbuilding and charcoal for London’s blacksmiths, bakeries and brick and tilekilns.
32．Why did campaigners put pressure on local and national bodies according to the second paragraph
A．To demand more gyms for public exercise.
B．To protect existing green spaces from destruction.
C．To request open spaces for planting new vegetation.
D．To promote the development of suburban housing.
33．What does the underlined phrase “grubbed up” in Paragraph 4 most likely mean
A．Use up natural resources.
B．Dig out and remove completely.
C．Take up quickly for development.
D．Preserve carefully for the future.
34．What can be inferred from the passage
A．British people have long been aware of the importance of green space protection.
B．The ancient woodland nearest to central London is entirely made up of conifers.
C．The replacement of ancient woodland with single-species plantations has harmed habitat diversity.
D．Only 7% of ancient woodland present in 1930 remains today.
35．Why did the old North Wood survive for so long according to the passage
A．Its steep land was unsuitable for farming or animal grazing.
B．It was located in a densely populated and well-protected area.
C．The government had listed it as a protected area very early.
D．Local residents jointly prevented any external development.
Intuition (直觉力) is a survival skill that assists you in avoiding danger and making new discoveries. Tuning into your intuition can enable you to understand yourself better. 36
Intuition is a quiet voice within your mind that tells you when something is right or wrong. It’s also known as a “gut feeling” - for example when you know you’ll be friends with someone before you’ve even spoken to them. Author Beatrice Moise describes intuition as “an awareness of your senses, the feeling of butterflies in your stomach or suddenly being aware of your heartbeat or breathing”. Intuition occurs when your brain compares what’s going on around you with experiences stored in your memories. 37 This explains why you occasionally make speedy decisions that appear from nowhere.
38 Listening to your intuition and gut feelings involves trusting your judgement. This helps you by building confidence, which makes it easier to face challenges and discover what you’re good at. Trusting your gut feelings means you can recognize when people or places make you uncomfortable and helps keep you safe. 39 Therefore, only take a chance on things that are safe and familiar, like choosing fun ingredients for a cake.
You should have a full recognition of your intuition, which means paying attention to what your body feels and what your head thinks. Try noticing how your body behaves when you’re delighted, like going on holiday or seeing friends. This can help guide you in making decisions. 40 Did you have any feelings that things weren’t going your way If something makes you feel tense or uncomfortable, don’t do it or wait until you have time to think it through properly.
A．How does your intuition help you
B．How can you make others trust your intuition
C．It can also help you discover what you’re good at.
D．These can help correct all the wrong decisions you made.
E．It creates a feeling so fast that you often don’t even notice it.
F．Similarly, focus on how you think when you’ve made a bad choice.
G．However, like any decision you make, your intuition won’t always be right.

Rachael Gunn arrived in Paris as a competitive breaker excited to make her Olympic debut. She leaves an internet sensation and her performances 56 (view) by millions across social media. Gunn — also known as Raygun — is a 36-year-old university instructor from Sydney, Australia, 57 balances her day job with her breakdance career, competing at events around the globe. At the Place de la Concorde, Raygun, kitted out in the green and gold tracksuit of Australia, showcased some of her moves across three round-robin 58 (battle): a kangaroo hop, a backwards roll and various contortions (扭曲的动作) with her body while lying or crawling on the floor. She failed to register a point in her three battles. It’s fair to say that subsequent commentary on the internet wasn’t 59 (entire) polite about Raygun’s performances. One netizen called her routines “hilariously (滑稽地) ridiculous,” while another 60 (question) how she had made it this far.
But Raygun is completely serious. As 61 lecturer at Sydney’s Macquarie University, her research interests include breaking, street dance and hip-hop culture. “All my moves are original,” Raygun said after 62 (compete) in Paris. “Creativity is really important to me. I go out there and I show my artistry. Sometimes, it speaks to the judges, and sometimes, it doesn’t. I do my thing and it represents art. That is 63 it is about. ”
Many people have jumped 64 (defend) the Australian’s performances as unique and creative, despite not necessarily being rewarded by the judges. “It’s all about originality 65 it’s all about bringing something new to the table and representing your country or region,” said Martin Gilian, the chief breaking judge at the Olympics.

六、书面表达
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。
At a local high school in San Francisco. Mr. Adams was well-loved by his pupils. He taught music, something he was passionate about ever since he was a child.
Not all students were fond of playing musical instruments and singing, but because of Mr. Adams’ fun and easy lessons, he instantly became every pupil’s favorite teacher. He would teach them how to play instruments and have jamming sessions (即兴演奏) with them where they performed the students’ favorite songs.
“You know, the key to making the kids love your lessons is to make it relatable to them,” he told his fellow teachers. “Once you catch their attention, it’ll be easier for them to absorb what you’re trying to teach them.”
Mr. Adams taught Grade 11 and 12 high school students. Thanks to his fun nature, his students respected him as a teacher but treated him like a friend. They went to him for advice and would hang out with him outside of class to play music and exchange stories.
One day, his students scheduled a day to spend time with him to make the playlist of their upcoming prom (正式舞会). It was such a formal dance that they would spend a lot buying dresses and suits. He was glad to help them and scheduled their session for Friday that week.
However, that Friday, Mr. Adams didn’t show up to class for the first time. “I wonder if he’s okay,” one student said, worried. “He’s never been absent before!”
The students waited inside the music room patiently. After a couple of minutes, though, the school director entered the room and said that Mr. Adams would not be returning any time soon.
“I know how much you all love Mr. Adams, so I’m disclosing this information. Last night, a forest fire burned down his house, and he was shocked and upset. He worked hard to put up that house, but he couldn’t save it. He was only able to retrieve (找回) a few items, but other than that, everything he owned is gone,” she revealed. The news saddened Mr. Adams’ students. “We have to help him!” the student council president said.

W: Come on, let’s go and see what else they have here.
17．A 18．C 19．B 20．A
【原文】 W: Take care of your plants! They may “scream” if you treat them badly. According to an article published in a magazine Cell, plants can make sounds when they are stressed. “Plants interact with insects and other animals all the time, and many of these insects and animals use sounds for communication, so it would be very inconvenient for plants not to use sounds at all,” Lilach Hadany told BBC Science Focus.
With this in mind, the research team started by recording plants’ sounds. They divided the plants into three groups. One group wasn’t watered for five days. Another group had the stems cut off and the last group remained untouched. The microphones caught sounds at a frequency of 40 to 80 kilohertz from the first two groups. The sounds grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then began to decline as the plants dried out. The researchers haven’t yet discovered how the sounds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made software that could tell how plants “feel”. It could be useful for farmers in monitoring the conditions of their crops.

Dear Tom,
How’s everything going Our English class held an activity themed “Discover the Beauty of the Campus” last Friday, and I took a photo that I really cherish.
In the photo, a boy was playing basketball — he leaped high, legs slightly bent, hands gripping the ball ready to shoot. Sweat rolled down his cheeks, yet his eyes fixed firmly on the hoop with determination. His teammates held their breath, while the crowd on the sidelines cheered excitedly.
This photo isn’t just about a shot; it’s about the passion of youth. It always reminds me of the importance of perseverance and enthusiasm — little wonders like this make campus life unforgettable!
Yours,
Li Hua
67．One possible version:
The students immediately jumped into action. They organized a fundraising campaign, setting up donation boxes around the school. Everyone was eager to contribute. Some students gave up their weekly allowances, while others sold handmade crafts to raise more money. They also planned a charity concert, where they performed all the songs Mr. Adams had taught them. The whole school came together, and in a short time, they had collected a substantial amount. They used part of the money to buy essential items for Mr. Adams and saved the rest to help him rebuild his house.
Mr. Adams was amazed to arrive at the prom and find everyone in casual wear, not formal clothes. The student council president stepped forward and explained, “Mr. Adams, we knew you lost so much in the fire. We decided to cancel the formal part of the prom and use the money we would have spent on fancy dresses and suits to help you. This is our small way of showing how much we care.” Mr. Adams was deeply touched. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at his kind-hearted students. He realized that the love and support he had given them were returned in the most beautiful way.
