A growing population of retirees is redefining travel with distinct pared to past generations, today’s seniors are wealthier, spending more time and money on tourism while demanding good value and meaningful trips. They seek bolder, more purposeful trips, fueling a rise in independent travel, guided tours, and philanthropic (慈善的) journeys.
Prioritizing autonomy, many opt for personalized arrangements in small groups or solo, moving away from rigid, large tours. They conduct extensive online research but also consult professionals to create a basic routine. A key motivation is the desire to build new social connections and strengthen family bonds during travel, with increasing options available to support these goals.
Figure 1: Primary Motivation for Intern (Aged 50+)
●“Experience New Cultures & Adventure”: 45%
●“Visit Family/Friends”: 30%
●“Volunteer/Service Learning”: 15%
●“Relaxation”: 10%
Mature travellers, particularly women increasingly favour culturally immersive and adventurous vacations focused on learning and giving back. This reflects the lifelong pursuit of meaningful and enjoyable experiences through travel.
Figure 2: Planned International Travel (Next 12 Months)
●Age 50-59: 42%
●Age 60-69: 48%
●Age 70+: 35%
Research confirms a strong intention to travel internationally among those over fifty. Tourism remains their top discretionary (可自由支配的) costs. Globally, older tourists are as numerous as backpackers but possess greater spending power. For many, travel provides new perspectives, with living abroad often seen as an ultimate retirement goal.
1. What do modern seniors expect from their trips
A. Worthwhile experiences. B. Low - cost group tours.
C. Short and simple vacations. D. Travelling with many friends.
2. According to Figure 2, which group is most likely to travel abroad

In the summer of 2023, middle school student Tina Jin was alarmed to learn that over 2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. With her heart set on finding a solution, Jin found inspiration in an unlikely place: in the tiny holes of leftover bones on her dinner plate.
After inspiration struck, Jin spent a year perfecting a solution that would reduce bone waste and increase access to clean drinking water. For months, she saved bones from family dinners and tested their honeycomb-like (蜂窝状的) structures to create a natural water filtration (过滤) system. Over time, she improved the homemade invention by grinding (磨) smaller bones up into a powder and filtering it all through the filter made from thrown-away bones and household supplies.
Upon applying for the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators challenge — a five-day STEM competition — Jin was selected as one of 30 middle school finalists. Last October, she flew to Washington, D.C. to take a range of student challenges and demonstrate her filtration device to the judges. After third-party testing by a water company showed that her filter successfully achieved drinkable standards, she took home the competition’s top award.
Jin was smiling from ear to ear as she took to the stage to accept the award. “I was just so shocked, and I felt so happy,” she said while holding her newly won award. “I want to partner with bigger organizations and hope to be able to see people filter water using my method.”
When it comes to encouraging other young people to explore STEM, Jin said, “If you find something that you think can solve a problem, pursue it — the chances are that you’re finding something that can help save the world.”
4. What was the direct source of inspiration for Tina Jin’s invention
A. A scientific paper on honeycomb structures. B. The tiny holes in leftover dinner bones.
C. A lecture from her school teacher. D. The global water crisis statistics.
5. What did the third-party test results show about the system
A. It could produce drinkable water. B. It needed more development to work.
C. It was cheaper than other filters. D. It could filter water very quickly.
6. What can be inferred from Jin’s statement in the last paragraph
A. She believes young people can definitely save the world.
B. She values action and potential in problem-solving.
C. She thinks only big ideas can make a difference.
D. She finds the invention process to be easy.
7. Which of the following can best describe Tina Jin
A. Impatient but ambitious. B. Shy but intelligent.
C. Reliable and lucky. D. Observant and determined.
C
Wave water sleeves (水袖), play with spears (矛), paint faces and wear costumes. On May 17th, teachers and students from the Ecuadorian Education Delegation immersed (使沉浸) themselves in the art of Peking Opera at the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University, experiencing the endless charm of traditional Chinese culture.
Amid the beating of gongs and drums, students from the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University demonstrated the basic skills of singing, speaking, acting and acrobatic fighting of Peking Opera and performed some excerpts (片段) of Wu Wenhua and Woman Defending for the Emperor for 25 students from Ecuador. With curiosity and enthusiasm, the Ecuadorian students fixed their eyes on the performance and took photos with their mobile phones from time to time. After the performance, they couldn’t wait to come to the venue to put on their costumes and props, and learned some techniques with the Chinese students, such as water sleeves, spear playing and knife playing. Some of the students also put on facial makeups to practise stage steps and wave water sleeves under the guidance of their teachers, winning applause from the audience.
“I’ve heard of Peking Opera before, but knew little about it. Today, I not only saw the Peking Opera performance by myself, but also tried on the costumes. This experience was fantastic!” Dressed in the costume for the role of a general, Oliver showed a debut (首次登台) posture he had just learned, and had his classmates help him take photos for memory.
“Peking Opera is the quintessence of Chinese culture, with a profound history and a rich heritage. Today, we have prepared a Peking Opera immersive experience specifically for Ecuadorian students, helping them feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture through lively activities, and hoping they can bring our national art to the world,” said Wang Yunfeng, deputy director of the Opera Teaching Department at the Affiliated Art School of Shenyang Normal University.
8. What did the Ecuadorian students do while watching the performance

11. What is the best title for the text
A. Splendid Traditional Chinese Costumes
B. Artists Train Foreign Students as Performers
C. The Comparison Between Chinese and Ecuadorian Art
D. Ecuadorian Students Immerse Themselves in the Charm of Peking Opera
D
You, along with all living things, produce weak light that glows (发出微弱稳定的光) until you die, according to a recent study. It’s called ultraweak photon emission (UPE) and is a natural product of your metabolism (新陈代谢). UPE is produced when chemicals in your cells create unstable molecules (分子) known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) as by-products of your body’s metabolism. When ROS levels rise, they cause other molecules to become “excited”, meaning they carry excess (额外的) energy. It’s this energy that causes light to be released.
“I normally point out that UPE is a result of a biochemical process and in that sense is related to what happens in a glow-stick,” Dr Daniel Oblak, a physicist at the University of Calgary and last author of the study, said.
“UPE is so weak that it is not visible to the human eye and completely overwhelmed by other sources of light, unless you are in a completely dark room.”
That’s not to say that shutting your curtains and turning off your lights will allow you to see your own glow. This light is between 1,000 and 1,000,000 times weaker than the human eye can perceive. Using specialist cameras, scientists observed much more UPE being released by the living mice, compared to their dead bodies. Meanwhile, the leaves gave off much more light where they had been damaged, compared to undamaged areas.
That’s because they were experiencing more oxidative (氧化的) stress in damaged regions. But the dead mice did not glow, because their bodies weren’t metabolising anymore.
Oblak said that the key advantage of UPE is that it offers a non-invasive method of observing the health of living things.
“This could be used to track the condition of a tissue — for example, for use in transplants — or the level of stress an organism is subject to, such as for monitoring crop or forest health,” he said.
But this field is still full of unknowns. For instance, Oblak said, “Perhaps UPE is not just a byproduct of metabolic processes, but also serves a purpose.” Scientists just aren’t sure yet.
12. What causes ultraweak photon emission
A. The presence of reactive oxygen species in cells. B. Direct exposure to bright light in a dark room.
C. The use of specialized cameras on dead organisms. D. The human eye’s ability to perceive dim light.
13. What can be learned about UPE from the text
A. It is visible to the human eye without equipment. B. It is a supernatural phenomenon.
C. It is generated through a biochemical process. D. It is only produced by damaged tissues.
14. Why did the injured leaves give off more light than undamaged areas
A. They were suffering more oxidative stress. B. They were no longer metabolizing.
C. They produced more reactive oxygen species after death. D. They were placed in a completely dark room.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To explain why dead organisms stop glowing. B. To compare UPE in mice and plants.
C. To argue that UPE is a purposeful biological signal. D. To introduce UPE and its potential applications.

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。
A 12-year-old boy named Thomas walked fast through the library’s bookshelves, holding dinosaur books — colourful ones with shiny covers and thick ones with black-and-white photos. He looked at his watch every two minutes; the library would close in 45 minutes, and he had to finish key parts. Tomorrow’s science class speech was his first big one, and he didn’t want to perform badly.
“Clatter!” The top book fell from his pile, hitting the floor. Some loose T. rex (霸王龙) pictures came out. Thomas knelt down to pick them up and saw a blue notebook under a nearby chair. He opened it: messy, childlike writing said, “I want to build a spaceship to Mars, but I don’t know how. Maybe it needs big wings ”
Just then, a little girl ran over. “That’s mine!” She was Lily, a second-grader who loved drawing. She grabbed the notebook and leafed through it — dozens of fun designs: some like flying umbrellas with propellers (螺旋桨), some like fish tanks with wheels. One even had a spaceship window for her pet goldfish.
“These ideas are great,” Thomas said, pointing to the goldfish one. “My little sister would love this.” But Lily held the notebook tight. “Elsa, who sits next to me, says my drawings are junk. She laughs at the Mars one.” Her voice was very quiet.
Thomas felt sad. He remembered his first class speech — he practised dinosaur facts for weeks, but stood up and forgot everything. His hands shook, and someone laughed.
He took one dinosaur book, turning to old drawings. “See Scientists drew dinosaurs wrong at first. People thought T. rexes walked straight up, like a person. But later, they found out they bent forward, like birds. Mistakes help them learn!”
Lily looked up, her eyes a little brighter. They sat in a quiet window corner, where the sun made warm spots. They promised: Thomas would help Lily write her “funny ideas” simply, so she could tell Elsa. Lily would draw dinosaurs for Thomas’s speech — silly but real. They spent 20 minutes planning, with Lily sketching a quick T. rex on scrap paper (草稿纸).
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。
On speech day, Thomas stood at the front, hands still a little shaky.

That evening, Thomas and Lily were back in their favourite corner of the library.

【答案】Dear Alan,
I’m glad to receive your email. My favorite marine animal is the dolphin. They are not only lovely and intelligent but also very friendly to humans, often helping lost sailors find their way. What impresses me most is their strong sense of teamwork, which makes them stand out among other sea creatures.
It’s our duty to protect dolphins. We should stop polluting the ocean and refuse to hunt them. Besides, we can spread awareness of protecting marine life to encourage more people to join in the protection.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】
On speech day, Thomas stood at the front, hands still a little shaky. But when he held up Lily’s sketch of a bent-forward T. rex, he smiled. He talked about dinosaurs clearly, adding funny details from their plan. The class listened quietly, and when he finished, everyone clapped. After class, his teacher praised his wonderful speech. Thomas looked for Lily and found her smiling, holding a new drawing — his dinosaur speech with a tiny spaceship beside it.
That evening, Thomas and Lily were back in their favourite corner of the library. Thomas brought a new dinosaur book for Lily, and she showed him her updated spaceship designs, now with simple notes he helped write. “Elsa said my ideas are cool!” Lily said happily. They sat together, with Thomas reading dinosaur facts and Lily drawing. The library’s soft light fell on them, and they made a new promise: to keep helping each other, turning their fears into courage, one small step at a time.
