Looking for a comfortable place to stay These are Britain’s best country inns (旅馆) for you to choose from.
Ship Inn, Fife
The picturesque stretch of coastline along the East Neuk of Fife is home to this friendly waterside inn, whose cheerful bar and six wooden bedrooms have a fresh coast feel. By day you can explore the attractive fishing villages that line the coast; and by night sink into an armchair in the Ship Inn’s bar.
The Star, Yorksbire
For a pleasant winter break, the only thing better than a country inn is a thatched (茅草屋顶的) country inn and The Star is a rare and picture-perfect example. The guests can stay in comfortable rooms designed in country style, with natural stone and wood. The food in the restaurant is a selection of what is typically served in local pubs. You could even join in a wrestling match and the pub’s owner is captain of the local wrestling club.
Acorn Inn, Dorset
Acorn in Dorset, this 16th-century coaching inn, is featured in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles under the name “The Sow and Acorn” and the author would find the inn little changed today, with its wooden floors and roaring fires. There’s a wood-beamed (木梁) bar with an excellent restaurant, celebrated for its locally sourced produce.
Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham
If you love the idea of staying at an inn but still want a touch of luxury, book a room at the Lord Crewe Arms. Set in the honey-stone village of Blanchland in the beautiful landscape of the North Pennine hills, the inn has a history dating back to 1165. Stone floors and wood beams give it plenty of warmth and character, the rooms have luxurious beds to sink into, and there’s a highly regarded restaurant, too.
1. What kind of holiday makers may favor Ship Inn, Fife
A. Sports lovers. B. Movie fans.
C. Novel readers. D. Beach goers.
2. Which inn has kept its style for several hundred years
A. The Star, Yorkshire B. Acorn Inn, Dorset
C. Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham D. Ship Inn, Fife
3. What do the four inns have in common
A. They have a long history. B. They bear grass roofs.
C. Their rooms feature wood. D. They offer the same menu.
B
When my son was little, he liked to run in our driveway until he fell. He would then turn to me to see if he was hurt. If my face betrayed worry or concern, he would cry. If I stayed calm, he would brush himself off and get back to running. Here was this human being who was depending on me to make sense of the world — not just how to tie his shoes or recite the ABCs, but how to feel.
Years later, in middle school, this lesson returned. One night, my son told me about a classmate who had been unkind to him. My first reaction was to rush to fix it — email the parents, call the school, demand action. But instead of reacting, I paused. “That sounds hard. What did you do ”
“I decided not to hang out with him for a while,” my son replied. “I am going to try playing soccer at lunch instead.” “That’s a great solution,” I said, and he went back to his homework.
These ordinary parenting moments taught me an important truth: sometimes, the best thing a parent can do is doing nothing at all. Over 30 years in schools, too often I’ve watched parents overreacting, robbing their kids of the confidence that comes from struggling, and exhausting themselves in the process. Most Americans now believe that young people will not be better off than their parents. They see greater competition for fewer resources — be it college admissions, jobs, or housing. However, a young person who gets used to having a parent intervene on his behalf begins to believe that he’s not capable of acting on his own, feeling both anxiety and dependence.
I want to make a case for the Lighthouse Parent, a term that the educator has used. A lighthouse parent stands as a steady, reliable guide, providing safety and understanding without controlling every aspect of their child’s journey, like a lighthouse that helps sailors avoid crashing into rocks. The key is learning when to step back and enable them to find their own way.
4. What does the author want to tell with the example of his child falling
A. Children should be prevented from taking risks.
B. Parents can feel exactly what their children feel.
C. Parents’ reaction influences children’s mental state.
D. Children would cry regardless of parental guidance.
5. What does the underlined word “intervene” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Cut in. B. Step in. C. Speak up. D. Break up.
6. What will Lighthouse Parents do when their child fears a school presentation
A. Ask the child to report every step.
B. Guide the child to step back.
C. Instruct the child while letting him act.
D. Complete the task for the child.
7. What kind of parent is the author
A. Creative and generous. B. Traditional and optimistic.
C. Energetic and flexible. D. Supportive and wise.
C
Researchers say the world has lost more than one fourth of its land-based insects over the past 30 years. The finding comes from a major study of insect populations worldwide. The researchers noted the loss of such insects suggests a more complex problem than earlier research has shown.
Ants, bees, butterflies and other land-based insects have been suffering population drops of about nine percent every 10 years or so. The number of insects on average has declined in the air, in the grass and soil, but not in trees or underground, the researchers found. Some estimates show that land-based insects will face a population drop of 24 percent in the next 30 years. The researchers did not find a link to climate change in the loss of insects. But they did note that widespread effects of growing cities and loss of underdeveloped areas to agriculture.
However, freshwater insects, such as dragonflies and mosquitoes, have been a different story. These insects were found to have experienced a population increase of about 1 percent every 10 years. Freshwater covers only 2.5 percent of the Earth’s surface, so the majority of insects live mainly on land. The researchers said clean-water policies established in recent years were responsible for the increase in freshwater insects.
“The decline across insect orders on land is very surprising,” said Nick Haddad, an expert on butterflies at Michigan State University. He was not involved in the study. Ongoing decline on land at this rate will be extremely damaging for ecological systems and for humans, Haddad told the Associated Press. He noted that insects are pollinators (传粉昆虫). They move pollen from part of the flower of a plant to another part. This causes the plant to produce fruit or seeds. Insects also help to break down dead plants and animals. Nick Haddad added that insects also serve as food to many animals, making them very important to the earth’s ecosystems. Other scientists said the findings made sense. They would go on with the study with more accurate data.
8. What is the finding of the study mainly about
A. The diversity of creatures in the world.
B. The disturbance of the earth’s ecosystems.
C. The reduction of insects all over the world.
D. The complexity of studying land-based insects.
9. What was the main cause of the insects’ situation according to the author
A. Human activity. B. Climate change.
C. A lack of freshwater. D. Frequent natural disasters.
10. Why does the author say freshwater insects have been a different story
A. They reproduce very quickly.
B. Their habitat has been protected.
C. Their population is in the minority.
D. They can live both on land and in water.
11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The relationship between insects and plants.
B. The significance of further studying insects.
C. The importance of insects to the ecosystems.
D. The necessity of more accurate data collection.
D
Virtual reality (VR) technology from video games and GPS-like apps is now entering hospitals, helping doctors work more safely and successfully. Dr. Ryan Broderick, a doctor at the University of California San Diego, recently tested Apple’s Vision Pro headset with “spatial (空间的) computing” during surgeries (外科手术), becoming one of the first doctors in the U. S. to try this technology.
“With these headsets, we can project medical images into the real world of the surgery room,” Broderick explains. “We can make screens as big as a wall or adjust them to the perfect position.” This technology mixes digital images with real-world views, letting doctors see 3D models of a patient’s body — like where a tumor (肿瘤) is — almost like giving them Xray view.
In the past, doctors had to frequently turn their heads to check screens during complex surgeries, leading to neck and shoulder pain. Now, spatial computing shows all key information right in front of their eyes. “It works like a car direction system — highlighting danger areas or warning us to avoid important areas,” says Broderick.
The tech also helps train new doctors. Teachers can use virtual screens to show body structures, point out key areas with glowing arrows, or even draw where to make cuts on a 3D heart model. “Students can watch the teacher’s virtual explanations, which is clearer than reading textbooks!” Broderick adds. This hands-on learning helps trainees master skills faster.
Top U. S. hospitals like Johns Hopkins are already testing similar systems. Though the equipment is expensive and needs software improvements, Broderick remains hopeful: “This isn’t just new tools — it’s a revolution in healthcare. In 10 years, technology like this could help millions get better treatment.” From video games to life-saving surgeries, VR is proving that cool tech can truly change lives.
12. How can headsets help with surgeries according to paragraph 2
A. By making the surgery room brighter. B. By letting doctors avoid looking at screens.
C. By helping patients stay calm during surgery. D. By showing 3D pictures of the patient’s body.
13. What is one of the benefits of using VR for doctors
A. It allows them to perform surgeries without any help.
B. It reduces physical stress and potential job-related pain.
C. It enables them to communicate directly with patients.
D. It allows them to work without any medical images.
14. What is Broderick’s attitude toward VR’s future in healthcare
A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Is the Future of VR in Hospitals B. How Is VR Changing the World of Surgery
C. What Are the Challenges of VR in Hospitals D. Why Is VR Technology Important for Patients

“The calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. ___16___ They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.
But why is it often so calm before a storm ___17___ According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car. “
Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. ___18___ So once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.
___19___ First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.
However, due to the complexity of storm system, calm doesn't always go first. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. ___20___
A. Science has given us the answer.
B. There is no definite answer to the question.
C. Weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted.
D. British sailors coined the phrase in the late l600s.
E. As the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.
F. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.
G. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display of nature's temper.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In a small town in Iowa, sixteen-year-old Emma Thompson was an ambitious student with dreams of becoming a scientist. Every year, the local high school held a science fair, and Emma had always placed high but never won first place. This year, she was determined to change that.
Emma spent months working on her project, a study on renewable energy using algae (藻类). She recorded data, ran experiments, and even stayed up late into the night perfecting her presentation. Her parents often found her working at her laptop, surrounded by books and lab equipment.
One evening, a week before the science fair, Emma was working on her project when her laptop screen suddenly went black. Panicked, she tried to restart it, but it was no use. All her data, notes, and the presentation were on that laptop, and she hadn’t backed up her files.
Desperate, Emma took the laptop to the local repair shop. The technician told her it would take at least a week to recover the data, if it was even possible. Emma left the shop, feeling a sense of despair. How could she possibly recreate everything in just a few days
Returning home, she sat on her bed, fighting back tears. Her mind flashed back to a conversation she had had with her science teacher, Mr. Reynolds, earlier in the year. He told her the true test of a scientist was not in how they handled success, but in how they overcame failure and that innovation often came from the ability to adapt and persevere.
Emma let Mr. Reynolds’ words sink in. She realized that this was her chance to prove herself — as a true scientist. Determined to make the best of her situation, she began to gather all the resources she still had. She found her handwritten notes, some scattered (散乱的) papers, and relied on her memory to recall key points of her research.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Taking a deep breath, Emma decided to start over.

Researchers say the world has lost more than one fourth of its land-based insects over the past 30 years. The finding comes from a major study of insect populations worldwide. The researchers noted the loss of such insects suggests a more complex problem than earlier research has shown.
Ants, bees, butterflies and other land-based insects have been suffering population drops of about nine percent every 10 years or so. The number of insects on average has declined in the air, in the grass and soil, but not in trees or underground, the researchers found. Some estimates show that land-based insects will face a population drop of 24 percent in the next 30 years. The researchers did not find a link to climate change in the loss of insects. But they did note that widespread effects of growing cities and loss of underdeveloped areas to agriculture.
However, freshwater insects, such as dragonflies and mosquitoes, have been a different story. These insects were found to have experienced a population increase of about 1 percent every 10 years. Freshwater covers only 2.5 percent of the Earth’s surface, so the majority of insects live mainly on land. The researchers said clean-water policies established in recent years were responsible for the increase in freshwater insects.
“The decline across insect orders on land is very surprising,” said Nick Haddad, an expert on butterflies at Michigan State University. He was not involved in the study. Ongoing decline on land at this rate will be extremely damaging for ecological systems and for humans, Haddad told the Associated Press. He noted that insects are pollinators (传粉昆虫).

Nick Haddad added that insects also serve as food to many animals, making them very important to the earth’s ecosystems. Other scientists said the findings made sense. They would go on with the study with more accurate data.

D. The complexity of studying land-based insects.

【答案】Good morning, everyone,
Today, I’d like to share with you my holiday English assignment. The task included keeping an English diary every day, reading one English short passage aloud each morning, and learning 15 new words daily. I also watched two English movies and wrote a short review for each.
This homework brought me a lot. It not only helped me build a regular learning habit but also greatly improved my vocabulary and reading ability. More importantly, I became much braver to speak English, which made me truly feel the fun of learning it. It was a meaningful and valuable experience.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In a small town in Iowa, sixteen-year-old Emma Thompson was an ambitious student with dreams of becoming a scientist. Every year, the local high school held a science fair, and Emma had always placed high but never won first place. This year, she was determined to change that.
Emma spent months working on her project, a study on renewable energy using algae (藻类). She recorded data, ran experiments, and even stayed up late into the night perfecting her presentation. Her parents often found her working at her laptop, surrounded by books and lab equipment.
One evening, a week before the science fair, Emma was working on her project when her laptop screen suddenly went black. Panicked, she tried to restart it, but it was no use. All her data, notes, and the presentation were on that laptop, and she hadn’t backed up her files.
Desperate, Emma took the laptop to the local repair shop. The technician told her it would take at least a week to recover the data, if it was even possible. Emma left the shop, feeling a sense of despair. How could she possibly recreate everything in just a few days
Returning home, she sat on her bed, fighting back tears. Her mind flashed back to a conversation she had had with her science teacher, Mr. Reynolds, earlier in the year. He told her the true test of a scientist was not in how they handled success, but in how they overcame failure and that innovation often came from the ability to adapt and persevere.
Emma let Mr. Reynolds’ words sink in. She realized that this was her chance to prove herself — as a true scientist. Determined to make the best of her situation, she began to gather all the resources she still had. She found her handwritten notes, some scattered (散乱的) papers, and relied on her memory to recall key points of her research.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Taking a deep breath, Emma decided to start over.

【答案】
Taking a deep breath, Emma decided to start over. She had her handwritten notes, some papers, and her memory. She could do this. The following week, Emma spent every waking hour reconstructing her project. The kitchen turned into a makeshift lab, notes scattered across the table. Her parents made sure she had snacks to keep her energy up. The night before the science fair, Emma finally finished her presentation. She knew it wasn’t as polished as her original, but she had done her best. At the science fair, Emma stood by her project, feeling a mix of nervousness and hope. As the judges made their rounds, she presented her findings with passion.
After the fair, the winners were to be announced. Emma held her breath as they called out the names. When the first-place winner was called, it wasn’t her name. Disappointed but still proud of her efforts, Emma listened intently as they announced the second and third-place winners. To her surprise and joy, Emma was awarded third place. Her heart swelled with pride as she accepted her prize, knowing that despite the setbacks, she had proven her resilience and determination. This experience fueled Emma’s passion for science even more, inspiring her to continue pursuing her dreams with even greater determination and perseverance.
