Historical and cultural theme parks in China are booming, offering gateways to the past. From vivid recreation to grand theatrical shows, these parks bring ancient dynasties to life. Here are four top-rated destinations for time-traveling across China’s history.
Millennium City Park (Kaifeng, Henan)
Step into the Northern Song Dynasty (960 — 1127) at this park, a 1:1 recreation of Zhang Zeduan’s iconic painting The Qingming Scroll. Wander Song-style streets, watch live shows like Judge Bao Solves Cases and Yue Fei’s Duel, and join folk activities such as a landlord’s daughter choosing a husband. The nightly water show Dream of the Eastern Capital wraps you in Song music, dance, and lights.
Tang Paradise (Xi’an, Shaanxi)
Transport yourself to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty (618 — 907) in this 66.7-hectare royal garden replica (复制品). Admire grand palaces, lotus ponds, and poetry lanes carved with verses by Li Bai and Du Fu. Don’t miss Dream Back to Tang Dynasty, a spectacular water-and-fire show with 300 performers, and taste authentic Tang snacks like roasted lamb and sesame cakes.
Songcheng (Hangzhou, Zhejiang)
Journey to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 — 1279) in Hangzhou’s historic water town. Wander around bustling market streets with blacksmiths, teahouses, and costumed performers. The park’s signature show The Romance of the Song Dynasty blends dance, acrobatics, and special effects to retell classic bine it with nearby water parks for a full day of culture and fun.
Yancheng Spring & Autumn Park (Changzhou, Jiangsu)
Travel back 2,700 years to the Spring and Autumn Period (770 — 476 BCE) on the ruins of an ancient city. Explore palaces, battlefields, and schools of thought like Confucianism and Taoism. Ride themed attractions like the Bagua Maze and watch stunt shows restaging ancient wars. The night spectacle lights up the ruins, making history feel alive.

Most of you are probably familiar with various stories of searching for alien life, but have you heard about the scientist who was responsible for detecting the first traces of intelligent life lurking throughout our galaxy This is Frank Drake’s story.
At the age of 8, his father one day told Drake there are other worlds in space, which astounded him. He had no idea that such a thing was a possibility — he thought Earth was it. So he wondered, what are they like Are the people the same as us Do they look the same way we do What’s their planet like And of course, at that time, there was no way that those questions could be answered in the slightest.
Later on, when he was in college, he chose the elementary astronomy course. In the course, he went to the campus observatory, and one of the things he observed was the planet Jupiter. Even through a small telescope, it was just very clear that it was another world but not a picture in a book or something, which made Drake deeply absorbed.
Frank Drake is mostly known for developing the Drake equation (德雷克方程式), which is a mathematical equation developed to estimate the number of detectable alien civilizations in the Milky Way.
People always say that the search for alien life has failed. “You’ve been searching for 60 years and you haven’t found anything. So doesn’t that say that intelligent life is very rare ” “That’s wrong, because the amount of searching we’ve done has hardly touched the number of possibilities that are out there. We’ve only covered a tiny, tiny fraction of all the possibilities,” Drake said. “When you spend your entire life on the things you love, you live a better life than most people,” he added.
24. What does the underlined word “astounded” probably mean
A. Astonished. B. Moved. C. Discouraged. D. Confused.
25. What aroused Drake’s greater interest in astronomy during college
A. His observation of intelligent life in space.
B. His firsthand view of Jupiter through a telescope.
C. His teaching experience in elementary astronomy class.
D. His achievement in creating the famous Drake equation.
26. What is Drake’s attitude toward the alien searching work
A. It is a total failure. B. There are various benefits.
C. It is too expensive. D. There are many possibilities.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Drake
A. Gifted and hardworking. B. Inquiring and brave.
C. Passionate and persevering. D. Inventive and sharp-minded.
C
As countries work harder to move away from fossil fuels and fight climate change, finding reliable, clean, and steady power is very important. In this search, geothermal (地热的) energy — using the great heat from inside the Earth — is seeing a strong comeback worldwide. Unlike solar or wind power, which can change with the weather, geothermal plants can produce electricity all the time, day and night. This provides the stable “baseload” power needed to support grids (电网) that use more and more changeable energy sources.
This modern comeback is mainly driven by new technology. Advanced drilling methods, first used by the oil and gas industry, now let engineers reach deeper, hotter rocks that were once out of reach. New systems can create artificial underground reservoirs (储藏) in hot, dry rock, greatly increasing possible locations. A leading example is the United Downs project in Cornwall, UK. This plant not only makes enough electricity for about 10,000 homes but also shows an extra benefit: It can collect lithium, a key mineral for batteries, from the hot water it uses.
“The technology and the costs are finally matching up,” explains Ryan Law, founder of Geothermal Engineering Ltd. “There is a huge demand for clean, always-available power, and geothermal energy fits that need perfectly.” Projects are growing in the United States, Germany, and pared to other clean energy options, geothermal energy uses less land, has little visual effect, and can be built faster than nuclear plants.
Challenges remain. The high starting cost for drilling is still a barrier, and there is always a risk of not finding enough heat. Also, not every area has the right underground conditions. However, continuous improvement is lowering costs and raising efficiency. As the world looks for solutions for both clean energy and important minerals, geothermal energy’s double offering makes it not just an alternative, but a key part of a sustainable and secure energy future, quietly using the power below us.
28.According to the text, how does geothermal energy differ from solar and wind power
A.It can supply power continuously. B.It requires more land to operate.
C.It’s easily affected by weather. D.It produces no pollution at all.
29.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.The reasons for the rising of geothermal energy.
B.The environmental effects of geothermal energy.
C.The daily applications of geothermal energy.
D.The benefits brought by geothermal energy.
30.What can be inferred about geothermal energy from Ryan Law’s statement
A.It is mainly suitable for countries with rich oil resources.
B.It is facing little competition from other clean energies.
C.Its development was limited by technology in the past.
D.Its cost is still too high for large-scale use.
31.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of geothermal energy
A.Cautious. B.Optimistic. C.Unconcerned. D.Doubtful.
D
A team led by the University of Cambridge have engineered a solar-powered “artificial leaf” that could eventually help this vital industry move away from fossil fuels. Their breakthrough involves a new device that brings together light-absorbing organic polymers and bacterial enzymes (酶) to transform sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into formate, a clean fuel that can power additional chemical reactions.
This “artificial leaf” copies photosynthesis (光合作用), the natural process plants use to turn sunlight into energy and operates entirely on its own power. Unlike previous designs that relied on poisonous or unstable light absorbers, this new model uses non-poisonous materials, runs more efficiently, and remains stable without extra additives. This marks the first instance where these non-poisonous materials have served as the light-catching component in such a bio-hybrid system, preparing for a new generation of eco-friendly artificial leaves.
The chemical industry remains a cornerstone of the global economy, producing a vast range of goods — from medicines to plastics, paints, electronics, and cleaning agents. “If we’re going to build a cyclic, sustainable economy, the chemical industry is a big, complex problem that we must address,” said Professor Erwin Reisner from the University of Cambridge’s Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, who led the research.
Tests showed the artificial leaf produced high currents and achieved near-perfect efficiency in directing electrons into fuel-making reactions. The device successfully ran for over 24 hours: more than twice as long as previous designs. The researchers are hoping to further develop their designs to extend the service life of the device and adapt it so it can produce different types of chemical products.
“We’ve shown it’s possible to create solar-powered devices that are not only efficient and durable but also free from poisonous or unsustainable components,” said Reisner. “This could be a fundamental platform for producing green fuels and chemicals in future — it’s a real opportunity to do some exciting and important chemistry.”
32.What is the main purpose of the artificial leaf described in paragraph 1
A.To create new materials. B.To produce clean fuel.
C.To cut carbon emissions. D.To absorb more sunlight.
33.What makes the artificial leaf different from earlier designs
A.It depends on costly and rare additives.
B.It combines natural and artificial materials.
C.It produces electricity and chemical fuels.
D.It relies on safer and more efficient materials.
34.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.The devices are still lack of efficiency.
B.The potential is limited to lab applications.
C.The technology might have a bright future.
D.The material choice may be a major concern.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Solar Leaf for Green Chemistry B.Materials from the Plants’ Leaf
C.Fossil Fuels in Chemical Industry D.Sustainable Challenges in Economy
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. ____36____ Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings.
Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. ____37____ For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem.
____38____ You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don’t walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on.
Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. ____39____ Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale.
Pause before purchasing. ____40____ Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. This gives you time to ensure you don’t already own the item or something similar, helping to avoid unnecessary repetition.
A. Turn off sales alerts.
B. Spave with a purpose.
C. But the numbers tell a different story.
D. But consider all the potential ways to save the money.
E. It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage.
F. Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not.
G. To avoid such a trap, it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge.

47. 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 made an appointment with Jack to go to Ice Lake Park over the weekend. We planned to take photos of the winter scenery for a photo competition organized by our school. Both of us enjoyed photography, and we believed the frozen lake would offer a perfect subject for the school contest.
Excitement filled me as I prepared that morning. Layers of thick clothes were put on one by one, and my camera was carefully checked before being placed into my bag. Everything felt just right, and I was in a cheerful mood when I met Jack at the park entrance. We talked about angles, light, and the kind of photos that might stand out.
Ice Lake Park was quiet and beautiful. As we walked deeper into the park, the number of visitors slowly decreased. Tall trees stood still in the cold air, and I hung my camera bag on a branch nearby, thinking it would keep it out of the way while we took photos. The frozen lake looked smooth and clear under the winter sun. The silence made the place feel special, and we decided to stay in this area to take photos, unaware of the danger hidden beneath the ice.
Jack moved around, trying to find the best position, while I focused on adjusting my camera. He suggested stepping closer to the lake to capture its reflection.
Without warning, a sharp cracking sound broke the silence. I looked up just in time to see the ice under Jack’s feet break apart. In the next second, he fell straight into the freezing water. My heart raced as Jack struggled in the lake, broken ice floating around him. Realizing that no one else was nearby made the situation even more frightening.
注意:(1)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。
Para1. I froze for a second before coming to my senses.

Para2. When Jack was finally pulled onto the ground, he could not stop shaking.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Jack,
How are you I’m writing to discuss the preparation for the Poetry Contest next month.
I recommend Li Bai’s Thoughts on a Quiet Night for our performance. There are two reasons. Firstly, it’s short and easy to memorize, which suits you as a beginner. Secondly, its simple yet profound language vividly conveys deep homesickness, making it a timeless classic.
As for practice time, how about every Monday and Friday afternoon after school in our classroom Is that OK for you I believe we can do well with enough practice. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】I froze for a second before coming to my senses. Fear turned to sudden urgency. I looked around quickly and spotted the thick branch I’d hung my camera bag on earlier. I ran over at once, pulling it off the tree with all my strength. Rushing to the lake edge, I stretched the branch out to Jack and shouted loudly for him to grab it. His shaking fingers finally grabbed the branch. I pulled with all my energy, trying my best to drag him out of the freezing water.
When Jack was finally pulled onto the ground, he could not stop shaking. His wet clothes stuck to his body, making him shake heavily and his lips turn pale with cold. I took off my warm coat to wrap him up, and then brushed off the broken ice on his hair and clothes. I patted his back gently to calm him down, while my own legs still shook with fear. We stared at the lake, knowing we were lucky to be safe. That common branch, once for my camera bag, became our life-saving tool in the end.

When your doctor asks how often you exercise or what you've been eating lately,do you always give her an honest answer
According to a new study,three fifths to four fifths of the people surveyed have not been completely honest with their doctors about information that could be relevant to their health. What's more, more than a third of them didn't speak up when they disagreed with their doctor's recommendation.
When those people explained why they weren't straightforward, they said that they didn't want to be lectured about how bad certain behaviors were.
