Four Best Hikes in the World
Whether you need to get away, stretch your legs, or remind yourself of how insignificant you are, there’s only
one thing for it: Take a hike. 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, impressive mountain passes and
broad glacial valleys.
The Lycian Way, Türkiye
Length of hike: 540 km
As the most scenic long-distance hike in Türkiye, this hike traces ancient bridges, footpaths and mule (骡子)
tracks for a breathtaking journey into the country’s past. 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 Türkiye.
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 that includes wooded hills, cliffs, the “Lost City of Petra” and soaring mountains, 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 foot path. Along the route, hikers will
undoubtedly encounter koalas, wallabies, stream and river crossings, tall forests and deserted beaches.
21. Which hike covers the shortest length
A. The King’s Trail, Sweden. B. The Lycian Way, Türkiye.
C. The Jordan Trail, Jordan. D. The Great Ocean Walk, Australia.

When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending
to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil
was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags
of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor
financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had.
The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this
shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing
organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed
away with cover crops, often work.
I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden,
a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I
also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities.
In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms
swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of
a fungal mycelium.
Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much
more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as
a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight
criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly
organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die.
24. How did the author use to improve the soil
A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags.
C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer.
25. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring.
26. What is the purpose of paragraph 4
A. To explain the process of transplanting.
B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks.
C. To stress the competition of different species.
D. To state the formation of multi-species communities.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild
C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers

The saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may no longer hold in the country where it was born and believed. Xi
Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for fatigue (疲 劳 ) at a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)
hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “TCM ingredients such as tapioca
(木薯粉) and dried tangerine peel (陈皮) are added to the milk tea, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than
regular milk tea and has a subtle herbal fragrance,” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.”
Since 2023, the hospital has blended TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract
a younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain
more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition
department.
“The TCM milk tea represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to
help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. Besides, the
TCM milk tea shows how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner.
Nowadays, one doesn’t even need to visit a hospital to experience TCM in China.
In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At
these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,”
says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.”
Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking
professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in
TCM. He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young
people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The personal experience of a college student with TCM.
B. The introduction of a new TCM product.
C. The concept of “good medicine tastes bitter” in TCM.
D. The health benefits of sweet milk tea with TCM ingredients.
29. Why does the hospital integrate TCM with modern tastes
A. To replace modern medicine with traditional practices.
B. To attract the interest of younger individuals.
C. To make TCM less effective for health benefits.
D. To boost the financial cost of TCM items.
30. What is the TCM night market like
A. A place for professional health advice. B. A social event with free entertainment.
C. A venue for experiencing TCM in daily life. D. A platform for selling TCM products only.
31. What is Doctor Wang Huiwu’s attitude towards TCM
A. Skeptical. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Unclear.
D
New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global
greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology
analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries.
Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies
on petrol, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total
energy use from AI in the U.S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained
insignificant when viewed at national or global levels.
“It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in
the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor at the
School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in
Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places
could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be
noticeable.”
“For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid
it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz added. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and
we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones.”
To develop their findings, environmental economists Moreno-Cruz and Dr Anthony Harding reviewed a
variety of economic sectors, the types of jobs within those sectors, and the share of tasks that could potentially be
performed by AI. Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to
understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world.
32. What is the primary goal of the research
A. To promote the development of green AI.
B. To measure energy consumption worldwide.
C. To warn about AI’s growing energy demands.
D. To assess AI’s potential environmental effects.
33. What can be said about AI energy consumption in the U.S.
A. It contributes to petrol-based activities.
B. It will soon reach the global emission target.
C. It has small influence at the national level.
D. It exceeds Iceland’s electricity consumption.
34. What do researchers plan to do next
A. Extend their research to more countries.
B. Shift focus to AI’s economic advantages.
C. Develop AI applications to stop emissions.
D. Reduce the energy use of AI in data centers.
35. Which of the following is the main idea of the text
A. AI technology drives greenhouse gas emissions.
B. AI energy consumption urgently needs regulating.
C. Data centers emit more than previously estimated.
D. AI’s impact on climate is much smaller than believed.

turn off ad personalization, which often gives companies permission to track you. Delete your online history as
frequently as you can. 38 . Go to myactivity.. On the left, there’s a button that says “Delete
activity by”. Select “All time”.
39 . Apps can learn a lot about you due to all the different types of data they can access via your phone.
Even seemingly harmless apps could be selling the data they gather from you. Therefore, take a look at your
smartphone and delete all the apps you don’t really need.

It was a weekend. I had already planned to hang out with my friends. However, my mother called after work,
her voice filled with childlike excitement. She explained that her company was having a spring outing the next day
and asked if I could stop by the bakery on my way home to buy her a bag of coconut bread for lunch. Without even
thinking, I refused, telling her I couldn’t spare time because I had already made plans with my friends. She
bargained with me for a long time, insisting that it’s just buying a bag of bread — it wouldn’t take long or delay
me. She was almost angry by the end of it, so I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed.
But as soon as I saw the bakery from a distance, my heart sank. The store was packed, with a long queue
snaking all the way outside. I couldn’t help but groan (叹 息 ) hopelessly. As the line inched forward, I kept
checking the time, standing on tiptoe to look ahead, dizzy from hunger. I couldn’t understand my mother — why
wouldn’t she just stay home and rest on a weekend Spring outings were for kids!
Just then, someone behind me called softly, “Miss”.
I turned around, seeing a middle-aged woman I didn’t recognize. Annoyed, I asked impatiently, “What ” Her
smile was almost humble. “Look, I’m just one person behind you, but that means I’ll have to wait for another batch
(一批). I’m buying this for my son — he’s going on a spring outing tomorrow. I still need to rush home to cook
dinner and take him to his tutoring class. If you’re not in a hurry, I was wondering if…” “Who are you buying for ”
she asked.
Without hesitation, I answered, “For my mom. She’s going on a spring outing tomorrow.” For some reason, as
soon as I said that, the entire bakery fell into silence. All eyes turned toward me.
注意：1．续写词数应为 150 个左右；2．请按如下格式在试卷的相应位置作答。
She asked loudly, “Who did you say you’re buying for ”
