Every day, photographer Kirsten Elstner receives dozens of messages full of ideas from
youth and photographers who attended one of her camps. She founded the Photo Camp in 2003 to transform photography into a bridge for connection. It has now evolved into a global movement, reaching 3,000 young people across 44 countries.
People are tied together by Elstner’s belief: kindness finds its way across even the widest divides through storytelling. This commitment shines through small acts. She even responds to every participant’s message, forming a Photo Camp family that lasts long after workshops end.
The camp’s magic consists in its thoughtfully designed structure. Photographers and local
leaders guide students, immigrants, small-town residents, and more, who often start as complete
strangers. Guided by a shared theme, they explore creative passions before teaming up to select 10 collective photos. Campfires, group meals, and reflective questions like “What’s your gift to the
world ” deepen these bonds. As Elstner notes, “It’s hard to dislike someone you’re co-creating a story with,” and this teamwork lays the foundation for true understanding.
Countless stories underscore its huge influence. Trainees like Markus Burman carry this spirit forward by leading their own camps, advocating for indigenous (本土的) rights in Bolivia and expanding Elstner’s vision into far-reaching influence that honors cultural roots while
promoting global connections. These tales reveal the camp’s essence lies not just in teaching a skill, but in enabling young voices to turn personal truth into collective care.
As Photo Camp marks its 20th anniversary, Elstner is doubling down on this mission: she intends to expand trainee networks. “You can’t change the world completely,” she says, “but you can spread kindness in your own little corner of it.” For the next two decades, this vision remains clear— keep listening, keep connecting, and let young voices build a more caring world.
24 ．What is the primary purpose of the Photo Camp
A ．To teach skills of photography. B ．To build up interpersonal bonds.
C ．To increase its global influence. D ．To tell stories of people’s divides.
25 ．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A ．How the camp operates. B ．Who the camp targets at.
C ．What effect the camp has. D ．What focus the camp sets.
26 ．Why is Markus Burman mentioned in Paragraph 4
A ．To demonstrate his efforts. B ．To explain his background.
C ．To present trainees’ wishes. D ．To reveal the camp’s impact.
27 ．Which of the following can best describe Kirsten Elstner
A ．Humble. B ．Independent. C ．Devoted. D ．Learned.
C
Robots could soon gain the ability to autonomously carry out search-and-rescue missions,
industrial inspections and other complex tasks in environments where traditional navigation (导
航) tools fail, thanks to a new bio-inspired system developed by researchers at the Beijing Institute
of Technology. Focused primarily on animals, this new system could help robots navigate areas where the traditional GPS struggles.
The system aims to solve a long-standing challenge in field robotics: how to navigate reliably in unstructured, GPS-denied settings such as caves, forests, collapsed buildings and underground sites. Most existing autonomous systems rely heavily on GPS or vision-based mapping, both of which can crash when signals are blocked or sensors are damaged.
“Our research was inspired by a critical gap in bio-inspired robotics,” said first author
Sheikder Chandan. Instead of relying on a single method, the system combines strategies observed in insects, birds, and mice to create a unified, fault-tolerant approach. The system has three core
parts: an ant-inspired path tracker which keeps tracking even when sensors are noisy, a
bird-inspired multi-sense system, and a mouse-inspired mapping system that selectively updates
spatial memory only when landmarks appear. All above ensure stable operation — if one fails, the others automatically take over.
The system helps conserve energy, reduce processing load, and keep navigation stable in
chaotic environments. It is massively efficient compared to Simultaneous localization and
Mapping (SLAM), which constantly updates maps, using lots of power. The researchers tested the system using 23 types of robots across challenging real-world environments, including abandoned mines and thick forests. According to the team, the system reduced positional error by 41%,
delivered up to 60% greater energy efficiency and recovered from sensor failures 83% faster.
Potential uses span disaster response, space exploration and deep-sea operations — areas where GPS is unavailable and sensor reliability cannot be guaranteed. To this end, it marks
progress toward robots that navigate like animals, steadily and autonomously, without constant human monitoring. Looking ahead, the team hopes the system develops continuous learning
ability to make robot behavior more adaptive. Future work will also explore emerging technologies such as expanded memory structures to support kilometer-scale mapping.
28 ．In which condition is the new system designed to function
A ．Traditional GPS breaks down.
B ．Animals fail to aid navigation.
C ．Search-and-rescue tasks are set.
D ．Vision-based mapping is needed.
29 ．What ensures the stability of the new system
A ．The expanded spatial memory.
B ．The fault-tolerant tracking tool.
C ．The improved mapping system.
D ．The multi-strategy combination.
30 ．How does the author present the strengths ofthe new system
A ．By giving examples. B ．By quoting an expert.
C ．By defining a concept. D ．By providing statistics.
31 ．What might be a focus of the team’s follow-up study
A ．The mapping theory. B ．The self-learning ability.
C ．The expense control. D ．The continuous mobility.
D
As for advantages of bilingualism, the state or practice of mastering two languages, beyond the conversational doors it can open, it’s supposed to improve multiple abilities, including the
ability to plan complex tasks and update beliefs as new information arrives. Most striking, studies have even shown that bilinguals exhibit a later onset of dementia (痴呆症). But some of these
studies have failed to repeat, leaving experts wondering whether the effect is real, and if so, what exactly it consists of.
The good news is that it’s never too late to start learning a new language, if you want your brains to benefit. The biggest benefit seem to come to those with full mastery of a second
language, typically native bilinguals or those who use two languages nearly daily. Interpreters and translators, for instance, outperform people who only can speak or use one language at alternating between simple math tasks, signaling better mental regulation, as was proven in a research.
Another research has revealed that bilingual young children outperform their peers in early cognitive (认知的) development. It found that a great many of relevant studies confirmed a
bilingual advantage among children under six.
Concerning the other end of life, Ellen Bialystok of York University, in Canada, has
compared the cognitive protection bilingualism offers to the coverage of a piece of bread afforded by a slice of holey Swiss cheese. Learning new languages is similar to piling up the cheese slices.
Their holes occur in different places, thus collectively offering greater protection.
All these studies take for granted the uncontroversial (无争议的) mental superpower that you get from language study. Even if you cannot pick your parents and be fluent from childhood, that should be more than enough reason to give it a go.
32 ．What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to in Paragraph 1
A ．The effect of bilingualism. B ．The repeat of some studies.
C ．The doubt of some experts. D ．The later onset of dementia.
33 ．What might be compared to “a piece of bread” in Paragraph 4
A ．A child’s cognition. B ．An old man’s brain.
C ．The cognitive growth. D ．The mental protection.
34 ．What benefit of bilingualism is highlighted in the text
A ．Powering up our brains. B ．Enhancing relationships.
C ．Lifting multiple abilities. D ．Upgrading our key beliefs.
35 ．What can be a suitable title of the text
A ．Give bilingualism a go!
B ．Be a bilingual teenager!
C ．See benefits of bilingualism!
D ．Do master foreign languages!

Poetry has a unique way of capturing emotions, experiences, and ideas in a brief and often complex form. However, the beauty of a poem can sometimes be hidden behind its language,
imagery, and structure. 36 By understanding the various poetry techniques and approaches to poem analysis, you can uncover the deeper meanings within a poem.
The first step in poem analysis is to explore the poem’s context. This involves researching the poet’s background, the period in which the poem was written, and any relevant historical or social contexts. Knowing these factors can provide valuable insights into the poetic themes and the poet’s intentions. 37
Language and imagery are vital components of a poem, and they play a significant role in conveying its themes and emotions. When analyzing poetry, pay close attention to the choice of words and the types of imagery used. You can ask yourself: How does the language make you
feel 38 What particular atmosphere does the poet create by words and imagery
A crucial part of learning how to analyze poetry is identifying the figures of speech used in the poem. These are the tools poets use to create rhythm, enhance meaning, and bring out
emotions. 39 Common ones include metaphor, simile, personification, and so on. Recognize these devices to understand better how the poet constructs their work to convey specific ideas and emotions.
Finally, consider the poet’s intentions and how they influence the overall interpretation of the poem. 40 By reflecting on the poet’s purpose, you can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the poem’s significance and the techniques used to achieve it.
A ．It seems apparent at first glance.
B ．They are presented in many forms.
C ．Think about why the poet wrote the poem.
D ．What pictures does the poem paint in your mind
E ．That’s where the art of analyzing poetry comes in.
F ．Should we identify the imagery to analyze the poem
G ．For example, poems from wartime reflect themes of conflict.

In the summer of 1960, a 26-year-old woman set foot on the land of Tanzania. Armed with nothing but a notebook and curiosity, Jane Goodall set out on a journey that would our understanding of human being’s closest living —chimpanzees (黑猩猩).
Goodall had no university degree, no training and was entering a
male-dominated field. Different from approaches, she gave the chimpanzees
instead of numbers, such as Fifi, Lola. By recognizing chimpanzees as
with distinct personalities, Goodall introduced a ground-breaking perspective—one that
the idea of treating animals as mere research data and instead focused on their distinct behaviors—that would our take on animal awareness and behavior.
On November 4,1960, Goodall a chimpanzee she named David carefully select a grass stem (茎), remove the leaves, and stick it into the ants nest to ants. David was making and using a tool, a skill considered a human ability. Goodall’s discovery was the first to bridge what was once considered a between humans and other animals,
forever changing our place in the natural world.
In 1986, Goodall attended a meeting in Chicago, which opened her eyes to the striking
of chimpanzee populations due to human activities. She came to the meeting “as a
scientist but left as a conservation .” She appealed to the world to protect these
beautiful creatures. She has been considered as one of the world’s most conservation advocates, and the Jane Goodall Institute now operates in more than 30 countries.

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。
I drove from Sacramento to send my nine-year-old son, Matt, to attend a survival camp. He had been longing for it for long. He did a lot of research online and asked me to buy several pieces of equipment for the survival training, including a whistle.
I confirmed the location with the camp director through phone call and then we set out.
Everything went on so smoothly until the map app on my phone advised me to take the next exit out. The route led us off the highway and down a nameless rocky dirt road. I trusted the map app and kept driving. But panic slowly arose after 30 minutes when there was not a sign of the camp. I found myself driving in thick forest, and each tree looked the same.
The road worsened. My car — built for city roads, not mountain paths — struggled on the
uneven ground. It bottomed out several times and finally broke down. I tried to restart the engine, but in vain. Not until then did I call the camp director for help, telling him we got lost in the forest. But my phone died in the middle of our conversation.
As the sun was about to set, panic seized me. I decided to walk around for help. However, Matt stopped me. “We’d better stay where we are, mom. We don’t know what is out there in the forest.” I couldn’t hold back my tears any more, telling him how sorry I was for making such a stupid mistake. “Don’t worry, mom. Judging from the car tracks on the ground, this area sees
occasional traffic,” said Matt, giving me the warmest smile in the world.
Instead of just waiting, Matt told me to press the hazard button (应急按钮) to keep the car lights flashing. Meanwhile, he used his whistle to signal for help from time to time, the sharp
sound of which became our voice to the world beyond the trees.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as hope was fading, a truck appeared in the distance.

W: Generally there are shuttle services, but it will take you a long time to get there. You can also take the subway. It’s a little faster, but you have to transfer for four times.
M: That’s too much trouble. I didn’t take the transportation into consideration when I made a reservation.
W: Perhaps your hotel has a shuttle for free Why not give the hotel a call right now
M: That sounds good. Thanks.
8 ．B 9 ．C 10 ．C
【原文】M: How’s the new job, Alison
W: Well, I’m terribly busy. Every day I meet lots of people, and I also do lots of typing and filing.

W: That’s easy. You can wire him the money from here and he can pick it up immediately there.
M: You mean wire him money through the bank I already checked and it’ll take at least five days.
W: You can just use a private wire service like Western Union and the money will be available to him immediately.
M: Is that true
W: Yes, and I’m here to help you if you need me.
M: That would be great. Thanks.

【原文】W: What do you think I should do for my birthday this year
M: You should have a really big party! Maybe a pool party!
W: That would be fun. I don’t really like swimming, though. Maybe I’ll have a roller-skating party.
M: What about an ice-skating party
W: Yeah, that’s even better! I’ll definitely invite Katie and Sammy.
M: What about our neighbor Melinda
W: Yes, of course.
M: Am I allowed to invite anyone
W: You can invite one friend, but that’s it.
M: Fine. I’ll invite Mike. You should have a winter-themed party. If Mom and Dad say it’s okay to rent out the entire place, we can decorate it with balloons. I know your favorite cake is
cheesecake, but it may be better to get an ice-cream cake for a change this time.
W: Those are all great ideas. Maybe I can even get a snow machine.
M: You can call the party “Patty’s Wonderland”. Maybe Mom will let us rent some winter animals, like deer and penguins.
W: Well, don’t get ahead of yourself. I don’t think that would be possible.
M: Yeah, I guess you’re right.

【原文】
W: Students from high school are to be quizzed on whether they can cook five hot meals,
and how often they should change their sheets. The scheme is supported by the government to
help them prepare for university. Ministers are urging schools to put on special workshops for
students aged 16-18 to ensure they feel comfortable with the preparation of leaving home. The
course, designed by the university accommodation provider Unite Students, will teach students
how to manage their finances and how to live independently. According to the course materials,
teachers should ask students questions which may not have occurred to them, such as “What is the price of a litre of milk ” and “List 5 hot meals you can cook.” and “How often will you wash your sheets once you move out of home ” Damian Hinds, the Education Secretary, said, “We are
conscious that going to university is one of the most exciting things that happens in your life, but it can also be very challenging.” He said that an important part of education is preparing children for adulthood, so “it is right that we teach them what to expect for life after school” .

accordingly. Moreover, AI makes learning more engaging and fun through interactive content. I believe with the continuous advancement of AI technology, it will play an even more significant role in education in the future.
67 ． Just as hope was fading, a truck appeared in the distance. We waved wildly and Matt blew his whistle more loudly. The truck slowed down and stopped beside us — inside was the camp
director, who’d come to search for us after our call cut off. He looked relieved to see us safe.
“Your flashing lights and the whistle helped me find you quickly,” he said, patting Matt on the shoulder. We got into the truck, and I held Matt’s hand tightly, grateful for his calmness that had kept us going.
On his drive to the campsite, the director spoke highly of Matt. He said few kids his age
could stay so calm in such a scary situation, let alone take practical steps to ask for help. Matt
smiled shyly and said he’d learned those survival skills from the materials he’d studied for the
camp. When we arrived, the camp was still bright with lights. I watched Matt run to join the other kids, proud that my son had turned a terrifying experience into a brave display of his growth.
