The Best Books on Central Asia and the Silk Road Region
News from Tartary
Peter Fleming traveled from Beijing to Kashmir overland in 1935. The adventurous journey, at first seemingly impossible, took 7 months, and was related by Fleming with great wit and intelligence. Even though it does not touch on any specific country, it gives a real sense of how the Silk Road was at one point, before modernity arrived.
The Way of the World
In 1953, twenty-four-year old Nicolas Bouvier and his artist friend Thierry Vernet set out to make their way overland from their native Geneva to the Khyber Pass. They had an old car and a little money. The Way of the World, which stands out for its philosophical reflections on culture, identity, and the nature of travel itself, records those journeys in vivid descriptions.
Red sands
Whereas Samarkand is a recipe book with some travel stories mixed in, Red sands, which was published in 2020, turns the recipe around. Like in her previous book, Black Sea, Caroline Eden uses food as a jumping off point to investigate life in Central Asia, It is an angle no one else has taken and the recipes in the book offer a delicious way to explore the rich reality of the region
Eurasia Overland
Not a book, rather a travel blog, this is the best contemporary account of travel across Eurasia. Starting in 2015, Daniel Sprague spent 5 years driving his car independently across Eurasia, visiting pretty much every place in between Kiev and Dhaka. His travel style is adventurous, his opinions informed, his writing cool and balanced, offering a very clear and realistic picture of what travel in Eurasia is like these days.
1. When did Peter Fleming start his adventure to Kashmir
A. In 1935. B. In 1953. C. In 2015. D. In 2020.
2. What can be known about Red Sands and Black Sea
A. They were published in 2020. B. They are classic recipe books.
C. They are typical travel journals. D. They are written by the same author.
3. Which of the following is a travel blog
A. Samarkand. B. News from Tartary.
C. Eurasia Overland. D. The Way of the World.
B
What will happen to a region when a key industry collapse Sometimes it dies. But sometimes it finds a way to reinvent itself. A case in point is Ketchikan in Alaska, where the collapse of the timber (木材) industry has led to a totally different identity for the city.
“Now, it has become a destination for tourists,” says longtime Ketchikan resident Eric Collins. “Many people who used to earn their living through timber have now turned to jobs in tourism.”
Ketchikan sits on an island at the southernmost end of southeast Alaska. The landscape is breath-taking: snow-capped mountains surrounded by the 17-million-acre Tongass Forest, which, for decades, provided the related industries with raw materials.
At the peak, logging camps could be seen all over the islands of southeast Alaska, and pulp mills (纸浆厂) were powerful economic drivers of the region. However, faced with global competition, new environmental regulations, lawsuits and fines for pollution violations, those factories shut down one by one. And hundreds of good-paying jobs and the businesses that supported them went with it.
“We had shoe stores. We had work clothes stores. We even had two car stores here,” says Collins, whose pulp mill was the last one still operating in Alaska when it shut down in 1997. “But they’re all gone.”
What’s replaced them Lots of souvenir and gift shops, jewelry and watch stores as well as local tour operations.
“The new businesses provide a lot of work opportunities, but they are nowhere near as well paid as the old jobs; Those were year-round, family-sustaining jobs,” Collins explains. “Now, at the end of September when the people leave town, most of the businesses will be closed and the workers will head on to their winter seasonal work, maybe in Colorado or the Caribbean.”
When Collins’ parents moved to Ketchikan in the late 1960s, the timber industry was in its heyday, and Collins started working on a tugboat that brought supplies to the logging camps and the pulp mills. Now, he is a tourist ship pilot.
“I still miss the tugboat, although I can earn enough money to support my family,” he says.
4. Which aspect of Ketchikan does the third paragraph focus on
A. Its huge size. B. Its natural resources.
C. Its new identity. D. Its related industries.
5. Why did the timber industry collapse in Ketchikan
A. It was banned by the law. B. It suffered from labor shortage.
C. It ran out of raw materials. D. It was not competitive enough.
6. Which of the following best describes the current jobs in Ketchikan
A. Well-paid. B. Tiring. C. Seasonal. D. Family-friendly.
7. How does Eric Collins probably feel
A. Unhappy. B. Relieved. C. Optimistic. D. Desperate.
C
Emily Clark’s job is to help top athletes to perform at their best and interpret what it means to be successful. Her main area is getting high achievers to avoid the temptation (诱惑) of looking only at results.
“If winning gold medals were the only standard, almost all Olympic athletes would be considered failures,” Clark says. “So this should be considered an area where athletes can develop skills that can extend a career, or make it more enjoyable.”
Here’s the truth: The United States usually sends hundreds of athletes to the Olympics. But the USA Team only won gold medals in nine events in the Beijing Winter Games in 2022. 70.8% of Winter and Summer Olympic athletes go to only one Olympics.
“That’s the reality of elite sport,” Clark added. “Few are famous and successful like swimmer Michael Phelps, or skiers Mikaela Shiffrin or Lindsey Vonn. Most of the athletes who come through Team USA will not win a gold medal.”
Clark often delivers the following message to Olympians and Paralympians: This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Focus on the process. Enjoy the moment.
“Your job is not to win a gold medal, your job is to do the thing and the gold medal is what happens when you do your job,” she said. “We get stronger by pushing ourselves to a limit where we’re at our maximum capacity — and then recovering. When we get too stressed, it impacts our attention. So staying on task or staying in line with what’s important is what we try to train for.”
American figure skater Alysa Liu is the 2025 world champion and was sixth in the 2022 Olympics. She credits some of her success to Clark’s services.
“She’s incredible — like the MVP,” she said. “Of course, MVP stands — not for Most Valuable Person or Most Valuable Player — for ‘Most Valuable Psychologist’.”
8. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about
A. The USA Team’s achievements. B. Low chances of winning gold medals.
C. Events in the Beijing Winter Games. D. The limited number of Olympic athletes.
9. What does Emily Clark usually suggest athletes do
A. Focus on the process and progress. B. Set successful people as examples.
C. Try their best to win gold medals. D. Push themselves beyond their limits.
10. What is Alysa Liu’s attitude to Emily Clark’s services
A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Lessons We Can Learn From Top Athletes
B. Emily Clark, the Most Valuable Olympians
C. Emily Clark’s Message to Athletes: Enjoy the Moment
D. Tips on Avoiding the Temptation of Looking Only at Results
D
For most of the 20th century, physics students have been learning the basic stuff of reality — space, time, energy and matter — and are told that all other scientific branches must be reduced to the fundamental particles (粒子) and laws that physics has generated. This philosophy, called "reductionism", worked pretty well from Newton’s laws through much of the 20th century as physicists discovered electrons, quarks and so on. But over the past few decades, the reductionist branches of physics have not borne significant fruit.
There are, however, other ways to think about what’s fundamental in the universe. Beginning in the 1980s, physicists (along with researchers in other fields) began developing new mathematical tools to study what’s called “complexity” — systems in which the whole is far more than the sum of its parts.
The end goal of reductionism is to explain everything in the universe as the result of particles and their plexity, by contrast, recognizes that once lots of particles come together to produce things like organisms, knowing everything about the particles isn’t enough to understand reality.
From physicists perspective, no complex system is stranger than life. Physicists can use the reductionist laws of physics to predict a young star’s future. However, if physicists got a simple cell from the early days of Earth’s history, they could never predict that some 4 billion years later it would evolve into rabbits or humans, although the cell is made of particles, just like everything else.
Luckily, the field has skills that can help: a particular way of asking questions and building models to make predictions. Physicists have always been good at capturing the essential aspects of a system and casting those essentials in the language of mathematics. Now this skill must be brought to bear on a puzzle: What is intelligence
Using these skills, physicists — working together with representatives of all the other disciplines that make up complexity science — may crack open the question of how life formed on Earth billions of years ago and provide the key to fully understanding intelligence — and building artificial versions.
12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Reductionists start to doubt Newton’s laws.
B. Fundamental physics laws don’t work any longer.
C. More basic particles are needed to explain reality.
D. Reductionism leads to fewer and fewer breakthroughs.
13. Which of the following should be interpreted as “complexity”
A. The development of stars. B. The evolution of organisms.
C. Complex chemical reactions. D. The structure of basic particles.
14. Which is closest in meaning to “bear on” in paragraph 5
A. Avoid. B. Design. C. Solve. D. Connect.
15. What message does the author most likely want to convey in the text
A. Physics still can teach us very important skills.
B. The reductionist physics should be abandoned.
C. It is impossible to build truly intelligent models.
D. It is unlikely to fully understand human intelligence.

Body language can be just as important as our verbal exchanges. So make sure your body is sending the right messages to ensure good communication.
Eye contact
The eyes are frequently referred to as the “windows to the soul”. ___16___. The way you look at someone can communicate many things. Eye contact is also important in maintaining the flow of conversation and for detecting the other person’s interest and response.
___17___
We communicate a great deal through our hands. Think about the very different messages given by a friendly pat on the shoulder arm, for example.
Space
Have you ever felt uncomfortable during a conversation because the other person was standing too close ___18___, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship. You can use physical space to communicate many different nonverbal messages.
Voice
___19___. In other words, when you speak, other people “read” your voice in addition to listening to your words. Things they pay attention to include how loud you speak, your tone and sounds that convey understanding. Think about how your tone of voice can indicate anger, affection, or confidence.
Sure, nonverbal communication plays an important role in how we convey meaning and information to others, as well as how we interpret the actions of those around us. But we have to look at verbal and nonverbal behaviors as a whole. ___20___.
A. Touch
B. Body movement
C. We all have a need for physical space
D. It’s not just what you say, but how you say it
E. However, usually long eye contact can be threatening

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。
Our family has always loved basketball, and we have been huge fans of the Los Angeles Lakers ever since my dad played for the team and my mom performed as a Lakers Girl for years for the team. My twin sister Susan and I began watching their games on television as kids. But nothing compared to the excitement of traveling from our countryside home to Los Angeles to see my dad’s team play live at the Staples Center.
Even after Dad and Mom retired, we kept the tradition alive. For years, we would book first-row seats to cheer for the Lakers — until the announcement came that the team would host a special “legacy Game” on February 13, 1999, against the Chicago Bulls, which happened to be my parents’ 20th anniversary of meeting at a Lakers game.
Early that year, Dad managed to get only three tickets instead of the four we needed. Mom offered to stay home, encouraging Dad to take Susan and me. But we all longed to experience this special night together as a family.
Determined not to let Mom miss this anniversary celebration, we decided to try our luck outside the Staples Center. At first, Mom hesitated, but Dad said, “Who knows Maybe someone will have a spare ticket at the last minute.”
The game was about to start in ten minutes, yet no extra ticket was available. “You three should go in,” Mom urged, but Susan and I exchanged a meaningful glance. “Tonight is especially for you two,” we said half-jokingly and volunteered to stay behind.
“No,” Mom replied firmly, her face flushing. “You two go with your dad. I’ll be fine! Don’t waste the ticket!”
But we insisted, “You should go with Dad. We’re old enough to enjoy ourselves.”
Seeing that we had made up our minds, Mom finally agreed and entered the Staples Center with Dad.
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。
Shortly after the game began, a ticket collector noticed us.

Hello, everyone!
Our world is rich with diverse customs of celebrations that shape our unique cultural identities. As the editor of our school’s English newspaper, I’m excited to invite you to share a unique custom from your hometown.

This is a great chance to display local culture and enrich our school life. We are looking forward to wonderful stories from every student!
【答案】One possible version:
Shortly after the game began, a ticket collector noticed us. He approached and asked why we were still outside. We explained everything, and he listened in disbelief. After we showed our ticket, he asked us to wait. He went to his co-workers and spoke quietly with them. Though we couldn’t hear what they said, we saw friendly smiles and nods. Moments later, he returned and gave us a firm nod, signaling that we could enter with just one ticket!
The ticket collector’s unexpected kindness surprised both of us. We thanked him and hurried in. As we squeezed into the seats beside our parents, their eyes widened in joyful disbelief. Together, we shared and watched the unforgettable game. The match was thrilling, but what truly moved us was the strangers’ kindness. Their kind act turned our anniversary night at the Staples Center into our family’s most precious memory. Over the years, we have talked about it countless times.
