Best Cities for Solo Travel in Asia
Asia is increasingly popular for solo travelers seeking a mind-blowing cultural experience. With more than forty countries, choosing the right destination can be tough. Here are four safe, beautiful cities worth exploring.
Best budget stop: Chiang Mai, Thailand
Thailand is known for its excellent tourist facilities. In Chiang Mai, prices are low and local people are friendly and patient. You can visit many beautiful temples, wildlife sanctuaries, or even get a traditional sak yant tattoo. The city also offers delicious street food and lively night markets.
Splurge-worthy destination: Singapore
Singapore is clean, walkable, and very safe. You can see tree sculptures that produce oxygen and canals where otters swim. The famous Sands building boasts the world’s highest rooftop infinity pool. As a cultural mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian traditions, it offers diverse delicious food. However, experiencing the best here can be expensive, making it ideal for travelers with a larger budget.
Most unexpected culture: Varanasi, India
Varanasi is one of the holiest cities for Hindus. You can visit the Ganges River and the Durga Temple. The city is densely populated and has a unique spiritual atmosphere that differs greatly from modern metropolises. If you want to learn about a different faith and way of life, Varanasi offers profound cultural insights. Be prepared for a busy and lively environment.
Big-city wonders: Chongqing, China
Chongqing is a huge city of over 22 million, known as a “3D city” where buildings have multiple ground floors — sometimes the ninth floor is ground level. Many skyscrapers have shops up to the 7th floor and homes above. Basic Mandarin is needed as English is not widely spoken. It is perfect for adventurous solo travelers who enjoy modern urban landscapes.

Even after suffering a serious leg injury that once made her miss important competitions and nearly end her career, U. S. skiing star Lindsey Vonn is still determined to prepare for her fifth Olympic Games at the age of 41.
Her injury was so severe that she had to undergo a knee replacement surgery. Facing scathing criticism from some retired skiers who doubted her decision to come back, she insisted on persistent daily training, from basic recovery exercises to high-intensity skiing drills, and trained at Copper Mountain in Colorado to regain her competitive strength.
Despite failing to complete three of her last six events, she never gave up trying. Her strong will and unremitting efforts have helped her get back to competitive racing — she even achieved fourth and sixth places in two World Cup races in Austria shortly after her comeback. This inspiring journey has become one of the most popular stories before the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Games.
In an episode of the program I Never Knew That, editor Tyler Piccotti deeply talks about Vonn’s long-lasting friendship with her skiing idol Picabo Street. They first met at a skiing training camp when Vonn was only 9 years old, and Picabo’s excellent skills and never-give-up spirit left a deep impression on the little girl — this spirit has supported Vonn through every difficult moment of her comeback. Recently, the two skiing stars have worked together on a documentary film, sharing their stories and experiences in skiing, including Vonn’s arduous recovery process and her unwavering determination to return to the Olympic stage. Together, they are regarded as one of the most successful pairs in skiing history, winning numerous honors and encouraging many young skiers. Vonn once said her return comes from her love for the sport and desire for speed, and she treats the 2026 Olympics as her potential final goal.
People who want to know more about Vonn’s life and skiing career can visit Biography. com, where they can also learn about other famous skier Mikaela Shiffrin and many other outstanding U. S. Olympic athletes. Let’s enjoy the exciting Winter Games and look forward to Vonn’s wonderful performance in her fifth Olympic journey.

B. Picabo Street’s spirit was a key support for Vonn’s comeback.
C. Vonn’s documentary with Picabo Street has won many honors.
D. Lindsey Vonn’s knee replacement surgery made her lose confidence at first.
6. Where is the passage most probably taken from

Nowadays, machines can not only defeat humans in chess but also surpass them in debate. An article published on December 19, 2024, reported that the latest AI system from IBM Research, Project Debater, won a debate held at IBM’s office in San Francisco, where it defeated two top human debaters: Dan Zafrir, chairman of the Israel International Debate Association, and Noa Ovadia, the 2016 Israeli National Debate Champion. This demonstrates that since its first public debut in 2019, Project Debater has continued to evolve and hold public demonstrations, marking steady progress in its capabilities.
Despite this remarkable performance, Project Debater still has notable shortcomings. It extracts sentences from its document database and pre-prepared arguments, then strings them together. This approach can lead to mistakes that no human would make. Although such flaws are likely to be addressed in the future, they reveal a core issue. As noted by Kristian Hammond, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, “The system never reaches a point where it truly understands what it is discussing.”
What Hammond highlights is the problem of meaning — a crucial factor that distinguishes even the least intelligent humans from the most advanced machines. A computer operates on symbols; its program sets rules to transform one sequence of symbols into another, but it does not assign meaning to those symbols. In fact, meaning is irrelevant to a computer. Humans also use symbols when thinking, speaking, reading, and writing, but for humans, meaning is paramount. When we communicate, we convey meaning. What matters is not merely the surface arrangement of symbols, but their inner essence — not just how they are structured, but what they represent.
Meaning arises from social interaction, not computation. This kind of interaction shapes the content of symbols in our minds. The rules that give meaning to symbols exist not only in our brains but also within society — in social memory, norms, and relationships. It is this factor that sets humans apart from machines. Therefore, no matter how impressive Project Debater may seem, the tradition of thinking and debate pioneered by Socrates and Confucius will never come to an end with the advancement of artificial intelligence.
8. Why does the author mention Dan Zafrir and Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph
A. To explain the primary function of the software.
B. To emphasize the fairness of the human-machine contest.
C. To demonstrate the high level of Project Debater’s ability.
D. To illustrate the high level of the human opponents in the debate.
9. What does the underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. brilliant performances B. hidden disadvantages
C. minor imperfections D. fundamental breakthroughs
10. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond
A. Establish its own rules for debate. B. Generate human-like speech fluently.
C. Recognize and use complex vocabulary. D. Comprehend the meaning behind symbols.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards AI replacing human thinking
A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Ambiguous. D. Neutral.
D
In the contemporary interconnected world, the concept of national security has fundamentally evolved, extending well beyond its traditional focus on military defense and territorial integrity. It now involves a broad range of critical domains, including economic stability, cybersecurity, data protection, and environmental conservation. This comprehensive and integrated perspective, widely recognized as the holistic view of national security, emphasizes that effectively safeguarding a nation’s core interests demands well-coordinated and constant efforts from all sectors of society — political, technological, and social.
While foundational elements like border protection remain indispensable, the landscape of threats has diversified significantly. Non-traditional challenges, such as advanced cyberattacks, large-scale data breaches, and accelerating environmental degradation, become much more important. A clear and serious example occurred in 2020 when a major financial institution suffered a severe data breach, resulting in the theft of vast amounts of sensitive customer information. This incident clearly exposed systemic weaknesses within digital infrastructures, underscoring their potential as a major national security risk. To address these challenges, countries like China have implemented a series of legal measures and technological innovation.
On the legal front, strong and effective legislation has been established, notably the Cybersecurity Law enacted in 2017 and the Data Security Law implemented in 2021. These laws are designed to strengthen the protection of critical information systems and ensure the privacy and security of personal and national data.
Technologically, the integration of advanced tools has transformed security operations. The government has put into use artificial intelligence and real-time monitoring systems to significantly enhance monitoring capabilities. In remote and geographically demanding regions, such as parts of Inner Mongolia, authorities now utilize aerial drones and satellite imagery to overcome the limitations of traditional methods, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and coverage of border control.
Beyond government efforts, public participation is vital. Citizens are encouraged to develop a strong sense of security awareness and to recognize that their vigilance contributes to national stability. Educational campaigns, such as National Security Education Day (observed annually on April 15), help raise awareness of potential risks and legal responsibilities. Schools organize lectures and drills to teach students how to identify online fraud and report suspicious activities online.
Looking ahead, experts predict that emerging technologies like quantum computing and artificial intelligence will present both opportunities and new security challenges. Therefore, maintaining national security will require not only strong institutional frameworks but also continuous innovation and active societal engagement. Ultimately, national security is a shared responsibility that demands collaboration between the government, enterprises, and every citizen.
12. What is the characteristic of the holistic view of national security
A. It prioritizes military strength above the other security concerns.
B. It mainly centers on military protection and territorial completeness.
C. It recognizes that security threats are limited to traditional military domain.
D. It calls for sustained, cross-sector collaboration to protect national interests.
13. What did the 2020 data breach incident reveal
A. The Cybersecurity Law was already in place.
B. Digital systems still have security weaknesses.
C. Traditional monitoring methods are still effective.
D. The financial institution was well-prepared for cyberattacks.
14. What measures has China taken to enhance national security
A. Relying solely on traditional methods for border monitoring.
B. Enacting the Cybersecurity Law in 2021 to ensure data privacy.
C. Implementing the Data Security Law in 2017 to protect digital systems.
D. Using drones and satellite imagery for border monitoring in remote regions.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To provide a detailed history of national security laws.
B. To describe the technological advancements in security.
C. To argue for an all-in-one approach to national security.
D. To criticize the current state of cybersecurity measures.

How to Develop a Strong Work Ethic
A strong work ethic is the foundation of all meaningful labor and achievement. It is not merely about hard work, but about purpose, commitment, and excellence. Cultivating work ethic requires conscious effort and a shift in mindset. ____16____
____17____ Many people view work as a burden, which often leads to procrastination and half-hearted effort. However, those with a strong work ethic see labor as an opportunity for self-improvement and contribution, knowing that every task builds character and reliability. By reframing your perspective, you can find inner motivation beyond external rewards.
Discipline is the basis of a solid work ethic. It means placing emphasis on responsibilities over immediate pleasure and staying focused even when motivation declines. ____18____ This might involve creating a structured schedule, eliminating distractions, or setting clear boundaries between work and leisure. True discipline is about consistency — showing up and giving your best effort, even on difficult days.
Taking ownership of your work is another crucial element. This means not only completing assigned tasks but also going the extra mile to ensure quality. ____19____ It involves anticipating problems, taking initiative, and holding yourself responsible for the outcome. Taking pride in your labor may lead to better results and personal growth.
Finally, embrace challenges and learn from failure. Labor is rarely smooth sailing; obstacles and mistakes are inevitable. ____20____ Instead of being discouraged by setbacks, view them as valuable learning experiences. This resilience not only strengthens your work ethic but also equips you with the mental strength to tackle greater challenges in life.
In essence, a strong work ethic is the conscious choice to honor labor, respect effort, and strive for continuous improvement in all that you do.
A. It starts with changing your attitude toward work.
B. It is these very difficulties that build character and competence, though.
C. This means avoiding the temptation to cut corners or do the bare minimum.
D. Developing self-discipline requires setting realistic goals and tracking progress.
E. Putting this principle into practice, however, requires several concrete strategies.
F. To build this discipline, you must learn to manage your time and energy effectively.
G. However, understanding why it matters is just as important as knowing how to develop it.

Mr. Thompson looked to be in his early eighties. As a mother of a teenage girl, I had just moved into the small apartment above his ground-floor unit with my husband, and my daughter Sophie. The first day, Mr. Thompson shuffled out of his door, leaning on a wooden cane. He glanced up at Sophie, who was helping carry boxes, and then at me, saying gruffly, “Make sure that girl doesn’t drop anything on my balcony!”
Our balconies faced each other across a narrow alley, separated by a low railing, so I didn’t see why he was concerned. Still, I replied politely, “Don’t worry, we’ll be careful.”
The next morning, while Sophie was practicing singing in the living room, we heard a heavy knock on the shared wall. “Too loud!” Mr. Thompson shouted from below.
That afternoon, Sophie and her cousin were playing hide and seek in the ground-floor garden. Within moments, they came back inside. Sophie said Mr. Thompson had yelled at them to stop, claiming they might break his flower pots. I was irritated and went down to tell him that if there was a problem, he should talk to me first, not shout at Sophie. As I turned to leave, I bumped into Mrs. Parker, who lived next door.
“You’ve met Mr. Thompson,” she chuckled. “Don’t take it personally. His wife passed away last year. He spends all day tending those potted plants, waiting for his son, who only calls when he wants him to sign papers. He’s impatient and never stays long.”
I felt a pang of sympathy. Yet Mr. Thompson kept finding faults — complaining when our walking back and forth shook the wall, or when we laughed too loudly during dinner.
One Saturday, we held a small housewarming lunch at home. While I was arranging plates of food, I noticed movement near Mr. Thompson’s balcony. Looking up, I saw him standing still, watching the crowd of relatives chatting and laughing. His usual stern face softened into something wistful and lonely. I suddenly realized how much he was missing.
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。
After a few seconds’ hesitation, I approached his house with determination.

Even after suffering a serious leg injury that once made her miss important competitions and nearly end her career, U. S. skiing star Lindsey Vonn is still determined to prepare for her fifth Olympic Games at the age of 41.
Her injury was so severe that she had to undergo a knee replacement surgery. Facing scathing criticism from some retired skiers who doubted her decision to come back, she insisted on persistent daily training, from basic recovery exercises to high-intensity skiing drills, and trained at Copper Mountain in Colorado to regain her competitive strength.
Despite failing to complete three of her last six events, she never gave up trying. Her strong will and unremitting efforts have helped her get back to competitive racing — she even achieved fourth and sixth places in two World Cup races in Austria shortly after her comeback. This inspiring journey has become one of the most popular stories before the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Games.
In an episode of the program I Never Knew That, editor Tyler Piccotti deeply talks about Vonn’s long-lasting friendship with her skiing idol Picabo Street. They first met at a skiing training camp when Vonn was only 9 years old, and Picabo’s excellent skills and never-give-up spirit left a deep impression on the little girl — this spirit has supported Vonn through every difficult moment of her comeback. Recently, the two skiing stars have worked together on a documentary film, sharing their stories and experiences in skiing, including Vonn’s arduous recovery process and her unwavering determination to return to the Olympic stage. Together, they are regarded as one of the most successful pairs in skiing history, winning numerous honors and encouraging many young skiers. Vonn once said her return comes from her love for the sport and desire for speed, and she treats the 2026 Olympics as her potential final goal.

Nowadays, machines can not only defeat humans in chess but also surpass them in debate. An article published on December 19, 2024, reported that the latest AI system from IBM Research, Project Debater, won a debate held at IBM’s office in San Francisco, where it defeated two top human debaters: Dan Zafrir, chairman of the Israel International Debate Association, and Noa Ovadia, the 2016 Israeli National Debate Champion. This demonstrates that since its first public debut in 2019, Project Debater has continued to evolve and hold public demonstrations, marking steady progress in its capabilities.
Despite this remarkable performance, Project Debater still has notable shortcomings. It extracts sentences from its document database and pre-prepared arguments, then strings them together. This approach can lead to mistakes that no human would make. Although such flaws are likely to be addressed in the future, they reveal a core issue. As noted by Kristian Hammond, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, “The system never reaches a point where it truly understands what it is discussing.”
What Hammond highlights is the problem of meaning — a crucial factor that distinguishes even the least intelligent humans from the most advanced machines. A computer operates on symbols; its program sets rules to transform one sequence of symbols into another, but it does not assign meaning to those symbols. In fact, meaning is irrelevant to a computer. Humans also use symbols when thinking, speaking, reading, and writing, but for humans, meaning is paramount. When we communicate, we convey meaning. What matters is not merely the surface arrangement of symbols, but their inner essence — not just how they are structured, but what they represent.
Meaning arises from social interaction, not computation. This kind of interaction shapes the content of symbols in our minds. The rules that give meaning to symbols exist not only in our brains but also within society — in social memory, norms, and relationships. It is this factor that sets humans apart from machines. Therefore, no matter how impressive Project Debater may seem, the tradition of thinking and debate pioneered by Socrates and Confucius will never come to an end with the advancement of artificial intelligence.
8. Why does the author mention Dan Zafrir and Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph
A. To explain the primary function of the software.
B. To emphasize the fairness of the human-machine contest.
C. To demonstrate the high level of Project Debater’s ability.
D. To illustrate the high level of the human opponents in the debate.
9. What does the underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. brilliant performances B. hidden disadvantages
C. minor imperfections D. fundamental breakthroughs
10. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond
A. Establish its own rules for debate. B. Generate human-like speech fluently.
C. Recognize and use complex vocabulary. D. Comprehend the meaning behind symbols.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards AI replacing human thinking
A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Ambiguous. D. Neutral.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A

推理判断题。根据第一段“Nowadays, machines can not only defeat humans in chess but also surpass them in debate.

This demonstrates that since its first public debut in 2019, Project Debater has continued to evolve and hold public demonstrations, marking steady progress in its capabilities.(如今，机器不仅能在国际象棋比赛中战胜人类，还能在辩论中超越人类。2024年12月19日发表的一篇文章报道称，IBM研究院最新推出的AI系统“辩论项目”在位于旧金山的IBM办公室举行的辩论中获胜，它击败了两位顶尖的人类辩手：以色列国际辩论协会主席丹·扎弗里和2016年以色列全国辩论冠军诺亚·奥瓦迪亚。这表明自2019年首次公开亮相以来，“辩论项目”一直在不断发展并进行公开演示，其能力也在稳步提升)”可知，作者在第一段中提及丹·扎弗里和诺亚·奥瓦迪亚是为了展示“辩论项目”选手的高超水平。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Despite this remarkable performance, Project Debater still has notable shortcomings. It extracts sentences from its document database and pre-prepared arguments, then strings them together. This approach can lead to mistakes that no human would make.(尽管该项目表现出了非凡的成果，但“辩论者计划”仍存在明显的缺陷。它从其文档数据库中提取句子，并调用预先准备好的论点，然后将这些内容组合起来。这种做法可能会导致出现任何人类都不会犯的错误)”可知，前文讲AI存在明显短板、会犯人类不会犯的错误，flaws指代这类内在缺陷与不足。故划线词意思是“微小的缺陷”。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, meaning is irrelevant to a computer. Humans also use symbols when thinking, speaking, reading, and writing, but for humans, meaning is paramount. When we communicate, we convey meaning. What matters is not merely the surface arrangement of symbols, but their inner essence — not just how they are structured, but what they represent.(事实上，对于计算机而言，意义并不重要。人类在思考、说话、阅读和书写时也会使用符号，但对于人类而言，意义是至关重要的。当我们交流时，我们传递的是意义。重要的并非仅仅是符号的表面排列，而是它们的内在本质——不仅在于它们的结构方式，还在于它们所代表的内容)”可知，根据哈蒙德的说法，项目“辩论者”无法理解符号所蕴含的意义。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, no matter how impressive Project Debater may seem, the tradition of thinking and debate pioneered by Socrates and Confucius will never come to an end with the advancement of artificial intelligence.(因此，无论“辩论项目”看起来多么令人惊叹，由苏格拉底和孔子开创的思考与辩论的传统，在人工智能的发展进程中都不会就此终结)”可知，作者对人工智能取代人类思维持怀疑态度。

In the contemporary interconnected world, the concept of national security has fundamentally evolved, extending well beyond its traditional focus on military defense and territorial integrity. It now involves a broad range of critical domains, including economic stability, cybersecurity, data protection, and environmental conservation. This comprehensive and integrated perspective, widely recognized as the holistic view of national security, emphasizes that effectively safeguarding a nation’s core interests demands well-coordinated and constant efforts from all sectors of society — political, technological, and social.
While foundational elements like border protection remain indispensable, the landscape of threats has diversified significantly. Non-traditional challenges, such as advanced cyberattacks, large-scale data breaches, and accelerating environmental degradation, become much more important. A clear and serious example occurred in 2020 when a major financial institution suffered a severe data breach, resulting in the theft of vast amounts of sensitive customer information. This incident clearly exposed systemic weaknesses within digital infrastructures, underscoring their potential as a major national security risk. To address these challenges, countries like China have implemented a series of legal measures and technological innovation.
On the legal front, strong and effective legislation has been established, notably the Cybersecurity Law enacted in 2017 and the Data Security Law implemented in 2021. These laws are designed to strengthen the protection of critical information systems and ensure the privacy and security of personal and national data.
Technologically, the integration of advanced tools has transformed security operations. The government has put into use artificial intelligence and real-time monitoring systems to significantly enhance monitoring capabilities. In remote and geographically demanding regions, such as parts of Inner Mongolia, authorities now utilize aerial drones and satellite imagery to overcome the limitations of traditional methods, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and coverage of border control.
Beyond government efforts, public participation is vital. Citizens are encouraged to develop a strong sense of security awareness and to recognize that their vigilance contributes to national stability. Educational campaigns, such as National Security Education Day (observed annually on April 15), help raise awareness of potential risks and legal responsibilities. Schools organize lectures and drills to teach students how to identify online fraud and report suspicious activities online.
Looking ahead, experts predict that emerging technologies like quantum computing and artificial intelligence will present both opportunities and new security challenges. Therefore, maintaining national security will require not only strong institutional frameworks but also continuous innovation and active societal engagement. Ultimately, national security is a shared responsibility that demands collaboration between the government, enterprises, and every citizen.
12. What is the characteristic of the holistic view of national security
A. It prioritizes military strength above the other security concerns.
B. It mainly centers on military protection and territorial completeness.
C. It recognizes that security threats are limited to traditional military domain.
D. It calls for sustained, cross-sector collaboration to protect national interests.
13. What did the 2020 data breach incident reveal
A. The Cybersecurity Law was already in place.
B. Digital systems still have security weaknesses.
C. Traditional monitoring methods are still effective.
D. The financial institution was well-prepared for cyberattacks.
14. What measures has China taken to enhance national security
A. Relying solely on traditional methods for border monitoring.
B. Enacting the Cybersecurity Law in 2021 to ensure data privacy.
C. Implementing the Data Security Law in 2017 to protect digital systems.
D. Using drones and satellite imagery for border monitoring in remote regions.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To provide a detailed history of national security laws.
B. To describe the technological advancements in security.
C. To argue for an all-in-one approach to national security.
D. To criticize the current state of cybersecurity measures.
