How to Explore Cartagena, Colombia
Cartagena is one of Colombia’s easiest cities to travel around. The well-preserved historic center and
neighboring communities invite exploration on foot, leading you through the picturesque streets, hidden alleys (小
巷) and engaging squares.
Walking is one of the best ways to get to know Cartagena’s historic center, a pedestrian-friendly place
separated from the rest of the modern city by a thick stone wall that dates back to the 16th century. The Old Town
would take only 20 minutes to travel around on foot—yet it’s so filled with appealing attractions that you can spend
days wandering its alleys. In fact, most of Cartagena’s top sites can be found either here or just outside Las
Murallas (the wall).
Just east of the Old Town’s Torre del Reloj, neighboring Getsemani is just as walkable. Traditionally a
neighborhood of the working class, it has in recent years transformed into a trendy district full of hotels, restaurants
and cafes. At every turn, the streets and narrow alleyways present you with colorful wall paintings or flags, kites,
umbrellas and lights strung overhead.
Tips for walking around Cartagena: Head out early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the heat
of the midday sun. If you don’t have a hat or drinking water, you’ll find plenty of vendors (小贩 ) selling both.
Though Cartagena is one of the safest cities to visit in Colombia, crime can occur. Keep your valuables hidden from
view and opt for a taxi late at night.
Should you desire a swifter pace, a variety of transportation options are readily available to take you away,
including taxis, buses and Uber or other ride-hailing (打车 ) apps. You can click here to find more detailed
information.
1．What separates Cartagena’s historic center from the rest of the city
A．A trendy district. B．Amodern square.
C．A centuries-old stone wall. D．A hidden alley.
2．What are visitors advised to do in Cartagena
A．Avoid walking late at night. B．Stay away from vendors.
C．Always carry an umbrella. D．Head out early in the afternoon.
3．From which is the text most probably taken
A．Awebsite. B．A newspaper. C．A travel brochure. D．A geography textbook.
“Who are you ” asked two men to a third person who had just interrupted their conversation onstage. “I am a
national treasure,” he replied with pride and a smile. “A ‘national treasure’ You are...Meng Lan, or Huahua ” they
responded uncertainly.
That drew a sound of laughing from the audience, for Meng Lan and Huahua are two famous giant pandas,
whose photos and videos have become an internet hit.
The dialogue was even funnier because it was inserted(插入 ) into a play about ancient history titled Joyful
Songs in Flourishing Age, recently presented at the National Museum of China. The play’s creators said they added
in bits of contemporary culture to make it lively and more relatable to today’s audiences. The primary inspiration
for the performance also was a figure of fun — an ancient pottery (陶器) statue of a comedian beating a drum. The
56-centimeter-tall statue is characterized by his wide smile and a lively position — he holds a flat drum with one
arm and a drumstick in the opposite hand, and he raises a leg in a noticeable movement.
The museum’s purpose in hosting the play was to cooperate with other cultural and educational institutions to
bring old cultural objects to life. The show was meant to help more people learn not only about the clay figure itself,
but also about ancient Chinese art and culture. “The music and many other kinds of Baixi performing arts have
been put into the plot.”
Yang, a professor at the Communication University of China, says producing the play inspired great creativity
among her cooperators and the production was an exploratory effort of the museum to bring about the various
presentation of their collections. While they asked for help from researchers at the National Museum of China for
historical details, they also added elements of imagination and, especially, pop culture, such as rap and the giant
panda craze, to enrich the dialogue and singing and to help people relate to the show.
4．What does “a national treasure” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．A pottery statue. B．An Internet video. C．A panda. D．A performance.
5．Why was the dialogue put into the play
A．To attract younger audiences. B．To make a deeper conversation.
C．To conduct a simpler discussion. D．To achieve a better understanding.
6．What does Professor Yang think of the show
A．It gets a museum famous again. B．It is a popular talent play.
C．It results from a creative exploration. D．It is short of imaginative ideas.
7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．Ancient History Enters University Courses
B．Cultural Objects Carry Various Musical Elements
C．Creativity Is Needed to Make a Lively Communication
D．Modern Humor Is Used to Introduce Ancient Art and Culture
Hilda Jackson, a spirited senior from Derbyshire, exchanged her walking frame for glowsticks (荧光棒) and
face paint to celebrate her 105th birthday with an unusual rave (锐舞) party at Holbrook Care Home. The event,
attended by 70 guests, featured a live performance by Nottingham rapper Bru-C, disco beats spun by a DJ, and an
open bar sponsored by Jagermeister — though most elderly participants chose soft drinks.
Born in 1919, Hilda has lived through two world wars, 22 British Prime Ministers, and the invention of
television. During WWII, she contributed to the war effort by working at a factory. A lifelong adventurer, she drove
until age 100 and traveled a lot with her late sister Vera on dance-themed journey across Europe.
When asked about her long life, Hilda credited her longevity to her youthful passion for tennis and her
philosophy of “taking each day as it comes.” She smiled, recalling her mother’s warnings: “You’ll wear yourself
out playing tennis every night!” Her eyes shone as she recalled meeting her husband Walter in her 20s, calling him
her “one true love.” After his death in the 1950s, Hilda never remarried, instead sharing 63 years with Vera until her
sister’s passing.
The rave idea puzzled even the staff at Holbrook Care Home. Manager Rebecca admitted, “Last year, she
requested laser lights and glowsticks — maybe she saw raves on TV ” The party’s decorations and energetic music
contrasted with the care home’s usual calm, but Hilda danced energetically, shouting cheerfully, “Life’ s meant for
celebrating!”
Guests received glow-in-the-dark bracelets (手镯 ), while Bru-C performed a custom rap praising Hilda’s
passion for life. Though wheelchair-bound seniors tapped their feet, Hilda stood center-stage, her skirt flashing
under lights. “I’ve always loved music — waltzes (华尔兹), foxtrots, even disco!” she said.
Hilda’ s birthday cards included one from King Charles, but her true joy came from dancing. “Who says
raves are for the young ” she laughed, proving age is just a number.
8．What was special about Hilda’s 105th birthday party
A．It was held in a factory where she once worked.
B．It was filled with decorations inspired by her travels.
C．It included a rap performance with lively atmosphere.
D．It was a traditional celebration with waltzes and disco.
9．What confused the care home staff about Hilda’s party request
A．Her refusal to invite family. B．Her enthusiasm of rave parties.
C．Her dislike of royal celebrations. D．Her preference for classical music.
10．What does Hilda’s comment imply in the last paragraph
A．She believes raves are only suitable for the young.
B．She thinks age should not limit one’s enjoyment of life.
C．She wishes more dancing opportunities at the care home.
D．She feels that true happiness lies in doing what she loves.
11．What kind of person is Hilda according to the passage
A．Cautious but sociable. B．Sensitive but moderate.
C．Dynamic and open-minded. D．Creative and unconventional.
With artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology improving at impressive rates, there are some who
worry that there’s a risk of artistic and creative people being replaced. A new study by the Korean Institute of
Industrial Technology, however, is showing exactly why that can’t and shouldn’t happen. It all started when the
South Korean company posed this question: Can robots replace conductors
Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and
didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with
joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It
was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters. It was finally time to figure out how it could follow through
on its musical role.
“We got involved in this project to see how far robots can go in more creative fields like the arts, and what
the challenges are,” Dong-wook Lee, a senior researcher at the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology said.
In order to pull this off, Dong-wook Lee cooperated with the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. The 12-minute
piece they planned to perform, “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with
the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind.
To pull off this impressive performance, the robot was preprogrammed to conduct through 30 cycles of beat
patterns. Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational (即兴的)
score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece.
Together, they pulled off a masterful performance that the audience seemed more than happy to have had the
opportunity to witness it firsthand!
With the concert having gone so well, this is only the start of EverR 6. Still, no matter the improvements
they’re able to make to this Android robot, the human conductor isn’t concerned about being replaced.
“Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human
conductor.”
12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The function of the EverR 6 robot.
B．The development of the EverR 6 robot.
C．The EverR 6 robot’s role as a conductor.
D．The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 robot.
13．What can be learned about “Feel”
A．It is a piece familiar to the audience.
B．It is a piece showing the human-robot cooperation.
C．It is the only piece that EverR 6 will perform.
D．It is a piece requiring great ability to conduct.
14．What role did Soo-yeol Choi play in the performance
A．He corrected the robot’s mistakes.
B．He programmed the EverR 6 robot.
C．He led the improvisational section of the performance.
D．He was the main conductor of the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra.
15．What is Soo-yeol Choi’s attitude towards EverR 6
A．Unclear. B．Uncaring. C．Supportive. D．Doubtful.
A new fashion movement is gaining momentum in China. Known as “Guochao”, or “National Tide”, it
reflects young Chinese people’s growing interest in domestic brands that blend cultural heritage with modern
aesthetic. 16 . It represents a powerful combination of business, cultural identity, and national pride.
17 For a long time, “Made in China” was perceived as a label for cheap, mass-produced goods.
Guochao seeks to revolutionize this impression in an innovative way. A pivotal moment came in 2018 when
Li-Ning, a Chinese sportswear company, showcased its collection at New York Fashion Week. Its designs —
featuring bold Chinese characters and historical themes — achieved instant success.
The appeal of Guochao lies in its ability to make Chinese culture feel fresh and relevant. 18
Young consumers wear these designs as a natural part of their daily lives and personal identity. With China’s
growing economy, this generation is keen to express its distinctive tastes. At the same time, e-commerce giant
Shein often weaves traditional cultural elements into its fast-fashion framework — not just surface-level patterns,
but subtle references rooted in Chinese art. 19 Unlike generic “Oriental-style” designs that rely on
stereotypes, these details carry the texture of specific cultural traditions. This helps introduce Chinese cultural
elements to young shoppers across the globe in an accessible way, without reducing heritage to a mere aesthetic
trend.
Ultimately, the rise of Guochao signifies a fundamental transition in China’s position within the global
economy — from a manufacturing hub to a source of cultural innovation. As these brands expand their
international presence, they are no longer just exporting products. 20
A．This is more than just a fashion trend.
B．This movement began around a decade ago.
C．However, this change did not happen overnight.
D．They are promoting a unique style and perspective.
E．Therefore, many foreign brands are learning from this model.
F．It is not about copying the past, but creatively reimagining it for today.
G．For instance, Shein’s clothing lines at times include designs like traditional ink-wash paintings.

六、书面表达
57．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。
One day, Mrs. Green asked everyone about their dream jobs. The classroom suddenly got filled with eager
voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently.
“I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of
doctors, nurses, police and various professions.
When Mrs. Green turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know
yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I replied firmly.
My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the
responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often return s home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together
during my growth created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and
thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take.
Upon hearing my response, Mrs. Green remained silent. Instead, she encouraged me to reflect further.
A turning point came when our school organized a cultural festival. It was an important event, and we had
been preparing for it for a long time. For my role, I needed to purchase a costume. Unfortunately, my mother was
abroad, so the responsibility fell on my father. Unwillingly, I agreed, acknowledging that there was no other choice.
In the mall, my dad’s unfamiliarity with the shopping list became apparent. Despite Mom’s thorough list, we
wandered aimlessly through the floors, struggling to find the necessary items. As we did, I felt a growing sense of
discomfort.
Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned
out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist.

56．Dear fellow students,
I’m honored to deliver this speech on “To know, to participate: Protect Our Cultural Heritage”.
Cultural heritage is the witness of a nation’s history, traditions, and unique characteristics. It provides clues
to our past, informs our present, and guides our future. Participating in the preservation of historical landmarks,
traditions, and arts not only shows our respect for history but also fosters a sense of community pride and
belonging.
To protect our cultural treasures, we can take several actions. First, we should raise awareness across our
school about the significance of cultural heritage protection through various activities such as lectures, exhibitions,
and workshops. Second, becoming volunteers at tourist attractions during our spare time is an excellent way to
contribute to this cause.
Let’s take action now to create a more harmonious and culturally rich society.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
57． Without hesitation, my father rushed forward. He pushed through the crowd, his demeanor calm and
collected despite the chaos around him. Kneeling beside the elderly customer, he quickly assessed the situation and
instructed bystanders to call an ambulance. With gentle hands, he comforted the frightened old man, assuring him
that help was on the way. As he tended to the injured, my father’s expertise as a doctor shone through, and I
couldn’t help but be impressed. His actions spoke louder than any words ever could, showing me a side of him I
had never seen before. The crowd dispersed, and when the ambulance arrived, my father carefully explained the
situation to the paramedics before they took the elderly man away. Standing there, watching him, I realized that
being a doctor wasn’t just about long hours and sacrifices; it was also about making a difference in people’s lives.
For the first time, I felt a sense of pride in his work. As we walked out of the mall, I couldn’t help but ask him
about his experiences as a doctor, and he shared stories of the moments that had brought him joy and fulfillment. I
listened intently, seeing him in a new light. That night, when he returned home late, instead of feeling annoyed, I
greeted him with a hug and thanked him for what he did. From then on, our relationship began to mend, and I found
myself looking up to him in a way I never had before. My perspective on his job changed, and I realized that being
a doctor wasn’t just a demanding profession; it was a calling that allowed him to touch lives and make a real impact.
As I grew older, I even found myself considering following in his footsteps, inspired by his dedication and
compassion.
