The editors, photographers and explorers of National Geographic carefully selected the must — visit destinations of the year.
Milan, Italy
All eyes will be on Milan and the northeastern ski resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo for the 2026 Winter Olympics. It’s the most widely distributed Winter Games ever, with ceremonies and competitions happening across 8,500 primarily mountainous square miles of northern Italy. Most will be held in the Dolomites, putting a spotlight on the legendary Alpine range.
Beijing, China
Beijing gives travelers fresh ways to explore this culture-rich capital. The Beijing Central Axis — a nearly five-mile area of imperial and ceremonial buildings and gardens — is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. A sightseeing bus makes it easier to get a look at the highlights, which include the Temple of Heaven, Tian’anmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Drum and Bell Towers... All are amazing examples of ancient Chinese city planning.
Roseau, Dominica
As the capital of Dominica, Roseau serves as the gateway to the island’s natural wonders. The country is on track to establish the world’s first sperm whale reserve by early 2026. This reserve will protect a vast area off the west coast. From Roseau, visitors can join in responsible tours to observe these magnificent whales from boats or swim with them under regulated conditions, ensuring minimal disturbance to the marine giants.
Manila, the Philippines
With its trading history and focus on native ingredients, the Philippines has always offered an exciting food culture. The culture gives travelers one reason to visit it. Metro Manila, which includes the capital city, is where Spanish, Chinese, and Malay influences come together in particularly innovative and delicious ways.
21. What makes Milan a widespread attention in 2026
A. A world-class sports event. B. The famous mountain range.
C. A newly discovered ski resort. D. A unique ceremony for tourists.
22. What is the main purpose of the new sightseeing bus in Beijing
A. To replace existing subway lines. B. To reduce traffic in the city center.
C. To offer tours of modern architecture. D. To provide convenient access to some landmarks.
23. Which option is suitable for marine life enthusiasts
A. Milan. B. Beijing. C. Roseau. D. Manila.
B
Last year, my husband and I decided to make our 12-storey building more of a community. We live in a small rented apartment in Park Merced, a large housing development. I would call us lower-middle-class. A lot of nurses, bus drivers, and tradesmen live here, many of them 1st or 2nd generation immigrants.
We’re all renters. Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. But it can be done. We started with a monthly two-hour social in the building lobby (门厅) on the second Friday of each month. Some people came, between 15-30 each time. The events lasted two hours, but there wasn’t much to do besides talking, eating snacks and drinking juice. The socials were nice, but most residents gave them a miss.
Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University. A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about “Building Community”. I asked, “How do you do that ” He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made much sense to me.
I bought a large world map. At the social, I taped it on the lobby wall with signs saying “Where We’re From. Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and looked where other people came from. We left the map up overnight, and the next day, Saturday, more people played. I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more. They certainly made the lobby more interesting than the housing project look it usually has.
I see there will be challenges, but I also know a strong community will help us live good lives. I have the time and energy to do this work.
24. What trouble did the author have building a community
A. The community was rather poor. B. She was lacking in enough money.
C. Her neighbors were all immigrants. D. Renters had no sense of belonging.
25. How did the author find her earlier events
A. Fruitful. B. Messy. C. Uninteresting. D. Inspiring.
26. What did the author do in order to change the socials
A. Sharing friendly stickers. B. Adding foods and drinks.
C. Asking neighbors for help. D. Adopting a sharing game.
27. Which of the following best describes the author
A. Responsible and particular. B. Insightful and determined.
C. Demanding and sympathetic. D. Knowledgeable and modest.
C
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving method that has saved many lives since it was created in the 1960s. However, it does not work well in zero gravity, so a team of European heart doctors has been testing other ways for astronauts.
For people without training, the handstand method of CPR is the recommended method suggested by the American Heart Association and other health groups. It uses the helper’s body weight to press on the center of the chest with the hands. This presses the heart and keeps blood moving until the heart starts again or medical help arrives.
To test other ways, cardiologists (心脏病医生) worked with the French space agency to do tests on a plane flying in parabolic arcs (抛物线) to simulate weightlessness for brief periods. The team tested normal CPR and three kinds of automatic chest pressing machines. These machines, though not household items, are standard equipment in some professional emergency tools. They are used where there is not enough space for the handstand method, or when CPR needs to be given for a very long period.
“We tested different ways of giving chest presses on a ‘flying laboratory’, which made the low-gravity conditions that astronauts feel in space,” said Nathan Reynette from Université de Lorraine. “Using a special kind of automatic chest pressing machine was the only way that reached the depth suggested by world guidelines to keep blood going to the brain when someone’s heart truly stops. We hope that what we found will be included in the next rules for treating stopped hearts in space.”
Because astronauts are chosen for being very healthy, the chance of a heart problem is quite low. But as the cost of space travel keeps going down quickly, more normal people will surely go into space soon. Also, this technology can be used to save lives on underwater vehicles and at far-away bases in the Arctic.
28. What role does paragraph 2 play in the text
A. To describe the importance of CPR training.
B. To explain how standard CPR works on Earth.
C. To introduce the common problem in zero gravity.
D. To provide background for the new space CPR test.
29. What does the underlined word “simulate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Artificially create. B. Exactly measure.
C. Carefully observe. D. Frequently adjust.
30. What can we infer about the test according to Nathan Reynette
A. The handstand method worked best.
B. Its results were immediately recognized.
C. Astronauts preferred using automatic devices.
D. A mere method met the required chest press depth.
31. What is the future of the CPR facility
A. It can be used by anyone.
B. It will stay limited to use on Earth.
C. It can be used in other extreme places.
D. It will be replaced by new technology.
D
Olives: The Life and Lore of a Noble Fruit is a lively story of a tree, the fruit and the oil it produces, and the colorful characters who make their living from this most Mediterranean (地中海) crop. This is not an academic book — Rosenblum is a journalist whose interest in olives was inspired by a collection of ignored trees on the property of a house he bought in southern France — but every page expresses the author’s admiration for the“remarkable little stone fruit” that inspires so many people’s lives.
Rosenblum describes planting and cutting, picking and pressing, taste and trade, and the complexity of a market where the only thing protecting consumers is faith in the producer they buy from. He recites (列举) a series of things that can go wrong in growing and processing olives, and takes delight in the rich strong taste of the fresh-pressed oil when everything in the harvest has gone right. He expresses the flavor of life in those sunny lands where olives have supported family after family for thousands of years.
At the heart of this tale is Rosenblum’s clear judgment that the old ways are better. Traditional presses, he thinks, make better oil than modern machines. Handpicking is better for olives than harvesting them with mechanical shakers. “I loved the oil,” he says of an award-winning French product made with precise techniques and the finest modern equipment, “but I missed the passion.” His own passion is founded on the olive’s historic connection to Mediterranean peoples and landscapes.
The book’s cover, with a fat black olive standing in for the letter O, and a group of olive trees fronting a cold green sky, will grab the attention of at least one in three passing along a bookstore aisle (过道). Those who stop to open the book and then read a passage or two, will find themselves drawn in by the story. It is a story that is rich with taste and full of passion, and just as with olives and their oil, these are the things that matter most.
32. What inspired Rosenblum’s interest in olives
A. The trees in his yard in southern France.
B. The colorful characters in his hometown.
C. A lively story about Mediterranean crops.
D. An academic book on producing olive oil.
33. What does Rosenblum mainly express in describing olive growing and trade
A. The scientific methods for olive farming.
B. The economic risks in olive oil production.
C. The joy of perfect harvests and regional culture.
D. The consumer protection policies in the market.
34. How does Rosenblum think of the award-winning French product
A. It is not natural at all. B. It is not attractive to him.
C. It is good for people’s health. D. It is expensive for consumers.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To recommend a great book. B. To introduce a famous writer.
C. To advertise a kind of olive oil. D. To promote the benefits of olives.

How to Boost Focus for Effective Studying
In an era filled with distractions — from phone notifications or social media to noisy classrooms or — staying focused while studying has become a major challenge for many students. ____36____ Here are some tips to help you stay concentrated and make your study time more productive.
Initially, create a dedicated study space. Having a specific area for studying, like a desk in your room or a quiet corner in the library, helps train your brain to associate that space with “work mode”. Ensure this area is well- lit, free of a mess, and has all your necessary materials at hand. ____37____
Next, use proven techniques to manage your time effectively. A popular time- management method, called Pomodoro Technique, involves working in short, focused bursts followed by short breaks. To put it into practice, start by setting a timer for 25 minutes, called a “Pomodoro”. ____38____ After that, take a5- minute break to relax and once you have completed four such Pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break to rest your brain.
____39____ Many students think they can “save time” by doing multiple things at once, but the fact is far from this. Multitasking actually makes you less efficient and leads to lower- quality work. Our brains aren’t designed to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. Instead, focus on one task at a time, and finish it before moving on to the next.
Finally, never underestimate the connection between physical health and mental focus. ____40____ Getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise are not just good for your body — they are fundamental to maintaining sharp mental clarity. If you’re tired or hungry, it will be much harder to stay concentrated.
A. Then, work on the task till the time is up.
B. Furthermore, avoid doing several things at a time.
C. Focus is closely linked to your overall physical well- being.
D. Afterwards, set clear and achievable goals for each study session.
E. The good news is that it is a skill you can develop with practice.
F. Therefore, it is crucial to keep your study area tidy and well- organized.
G. The instant you sit down there, your brain will automatically start to shift into a focused state.

Sam Dutcher, an 18-year-old student, was driving his mother’s Honda SUV when it suddenly sped up without warning.

Sam stared at the GPS, convinced that the chance of survival was ____47____.
Officer Gruer, in a faster police car, attempted to stop the SUV with spike strips. With the clock ticking, the ____48____ method to stop runaway cars wouldn’t ____49____ at such high speed, so Gruer came up with a ____50____ plan: he would slow down in front of Sam and let the SUV ____51____ his car to stop.
Johnson explained the plan to Sam over the phone. Though surprised, Sam centered his car behind Gruer’s. ____52____, the SUV’s safety system sensed the car ahead and started slowing down. Shortly afterwards, both slowed to 50 mph, hit gently and came to a ____53____. Officers quickly helped Sam climb out safely — no one was hurt.
Days later, Sam and his mother were reunited with Gruer. “A handshake just wasn’t enough,” she hugged Gruer tightly and said ____54____, “You risked your own safety to save Sam — you didn’t just stop a runaway car; you saved our whole family from ____55____”.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When humanoid robots did a perfect 720-degree backflip at the Spring Festival Gala, people naturally saw it ____56____ an amazing show. The flip was done with great skill and landed smoothly, and applause (喝彩) quickly ____57____ (follow). But this performance meant much more than just the fun of acrobatics (杂技). It showed a bigger change: China is moving from being the world’s workshop to ____58____ (become) a key creator of next-generation robot technology.
Western media called the event a “robotic revolution”. The clearest sign of this change is in technology. In 2025, humanoid robots on public stages moved ____59____ (awkward), doing simple folk dances in a careful, machine-like way. By 2026, newer robots could perform smooth martial arts moves-exact spins, steady landings, and quick recovery from losing balance.
The backflip was a performance, but ____60____ (it) true meaning points to everyday life. With more old people, ____61____ (few) workers, and the need to deal with disasters, there are strong reasons ____62____ (use) humanoid robots. Robots that can fit into human ____63____ (place) like stairs, messy rooms, or uneven floors can do more than what controlled settings allow ____64____ can help where current automated systems fall short.
The 720-degree backflip was not the final goal. It was a sign — proof that China’s robotics field has reached a point ____65____ power, intelligence, and the ability to build have all come together.

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。
As an English teacher at Providence High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, Jeff Swicegood always filled his classes with energy and curiosity. Mr Swicegood, a dedicated and kind-hearted teacher, had a special way of making every lesson engaging. His eyes would light up when he discussed classic literature, and his patience was endless when he helped students understand complex grammar rules.
However, behind his warm smile, Mr Swicegood had been carrying a heavy burden. He lost his father when he was only eight years old. That loss had left a deep scar in his young heart. And recently, he had to go through another heart-breaking experience. His mother, Margaret, was diagnosed with cancer. For nine long weeks, he took care of her day and night, hoping against hope that there would be a miracle. But sadly, she passed away, leaving Mr Swicegood to face the world alone.
Despite his personal sorrow, Mr Swicegood never let it affect his teaching. He continued to pour his heart and soul into every class, inspiring his students with his love for English. The students in his senior class noticed this. Sometimes, they saw the pain in his eyes, even though he tried to hide it.
One day, during a break between classes, a group of students gathered together in a corner of the hallway. “We can’t just let Mr Swicegood go through this alone,” said Emmy, a thoughtful girl. “We should do something to show him how much we appreciate him.”
“We could pool our money and get him a gift,” Sarah suggested, her eyes shining with excitement. “Something that shows we care about him.”
The idea was met with enthusiasm. So, they started a secret collection. After a week of careful planning and saving, they had enough money.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；

The next challenge was to decide what gift to buy.

I chose this theme because I want to introduce the real beauty of my hometown to more people. I believe culture and daily life can best show its warmth and charm. I hope my video will make more people fall in love with my hometown.
Yours,

The next challenge was to decide what gift to buy. They discussed heatedly — some suggested a nice coffee mug, others a cozy scarf, but Emmy shook her head. She remembered Mr Swicegood often mentioned his mother loved reading poetry. “Let’s get him a collection of classic poems,” she said. Everyone agreed immediately. They went to a nearby bookstore and picked a beautifully bound book of Whitman’s poems, which Mr Swicegood had once introduced in class.
After getting the book, they waited to present it to Mr Swicegood when he came to class. As soon as he walked in, the classroom fell quiet. Emmy stood up, holding the book gently, and said, “Mr Swicegood, we know you’re going through a hard time, but we want you to know we’re with you.” She handed him the book. Tears filled his eyes as he opened it, and he whispered, “Thank you, my dear students. This is the best gift I’ve ever received.” The whole class smiled, knowing they had brought a little warmth to their beloved teacher’s heart.
