A
May is often a month which falls in the “shoulder season” around the globe, and as such, it’s one of the best months to travel, due to reduced prices combined with good weather. Here are the best places to go in May 2026.
Puebla – Mexico
Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May) is one of Mexico’s most well-known festivals. Honouring the Mexican victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, the festival is best celebrated in the very city where victory was achieved. Located just two hours from Mexico City, Puebla’s celebrations feature real battle performances inside the UNESCO World Heritage City.
Sydney – Australia
Sydney is another excellent city to visit in May. Due to the pleasant weather, beach days, swimming and surfing are still possible, while it is also much more comfortable walking around the city during the middle of the day due to the milder temperatures. As the nights get darker earlier, the famous Vivid Sydney light show lights up the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, starting on 22nd May and running through until 13th June 2026.
Cusco – Peru
May marks the beginning of the dry season of Cusco, with long, sunny days and mild temperatures, making it perfect for Andean hiking. In Cusco, you can take on the Inca Trail, a four-day hike which ends at the famous Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Antalya – Turkey
Located on Turkey’s famous Turquoise Coast, Antalya is an excellent place to visit in May. While sea temperatures are cooler than in the summer months, May is still a great time to enjoy a beach holiday in Turkey. Furthermore, it is also a good time to explore nearby historic sites including Aspendos or the Old Town of Kalei i without the intense summer heat putting you off doing so.
1. What is a special event in Puebla in May
A. A real battle show. B. A traditional light festival.
C. A world famous hiking activity. D. A summer beach sports competition.
2. Which destination is best for beach and history enthusiasts
A. Sydney, Australia. B. Cusco, Peru. C. Puebla, Mexico. D. Antalya, Turkey.
3. Where is this passage most probably from
A. A history book. B. A school notice. C. A travel magazine. D. A science report.
B
When a player on the opposing team makes a terrible mistake on a big play, the reaction for many sports fans is joy. But not every sports fan.
In an important football game, the Baltimore Ravens were losing to the Buffalo Bills 27-25 with one and a half minutes left. The Ravens needed two more points to tie the game. Mark Andrews, a player from the Ravens, caught the football pass but dropped it, making the Ravens lose and end their season.
However, even though they won, some Bills fans felt sorry for Andrews. Actually, Andrews has type 1 diabetes (糖尿病) and supports a charity called Breakthrough T1D, which helps with diabetes research. Knowing this, Ryan Patota, a lifelong Bills fan, decided to raise money for this charity. He and a classmate, Nicholas Howard, started a charity event on their Instagram page for Bills fans. Their effort has raised more than $146,000 from over 4,000 donations. The original goal was to raise $5,000. Initially, donations were mostly from Bills fans, but as word spread, fans of the Ravens and other NFL teams joined in.
“It’s impossible to fully express how I feel,” Andrews said on social media a few days after the game. “I’m absolutely heartbroken by what happened on Sunday. I’m sorry for my teammates, my coaches and Ravens fans.” He added, “Despite the disappointing result, I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement, including from those who have generously donated to Breakthrough T1D.”
When asked for the reason for their deed, Howard says: “I’ve got tremendous respect for Mark Andrews, even though he was playing against us.” Patota adds, “You want your team to win. But we want to bring both bases together and say, ‘Hey, this is more than a game.’”
4. Why did the Baltimore Ravens lose the game
A. They fell far behind the Bills.
B. Andrews made a costly mistake.
C. The game ended ahead of time.
D. They lost the support of their fans.
5. What do we know about the charity event
A. All donations came from Buffalo Bills fans.
B. It collected much more money than expected.
C. It was started to treat Andrews’ diabetes at once.
D. It was organized by Mark Andrews and his teammates.
6. According to Paragraph 4, how did Andrews feel after the game
A. Sorry but grateful. B. Upset but strong.
C. Amazed and proud. D. Delighted and excited.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Sports Builds Up Respect B. Fans Picked Up the Football
C. A Terrible Mistake in a Game D. A Charity for Diabetes Research

Mathijs De Vaan knows that explaining scientific ideas clearly takes a lot of time. When large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT appeared in late 2022, De Vaan saw them as a useful writing partner. Yet, as these tools became common in the academic world, he and his colleagues began to wonder: Is AI just improving research efficiency, or is it completely changing the future of science
A new study by researchers at UC Berkeley Haas and Cornell University, published in the journal Science, reveals that AI is rapidly changing scientific research. Even as AI tools help researchers write more papers faster, many of these studies are scientifically insignificant. The resulting flood of well-written but potentially superficial work is making it harder for reviewers, funders, and policymakers to separate worthy papers from unimportant and potentially misleading work.
The study, co-authored by Toby Stuart from UC Berkeley Haas and four other researchers from Cornell University, examined more than 2 million papers uploaded between January 2018 and June 2024. These papers were from three major research preprint (预印) websites, covering fields such as mathematics, physics, biology, social sciences, and humanities. Researchers use the three sites — arXiv, bioRxiv, and SSRN — to post scientific papers that have not yet received peer review.
Using advanced detection algorithms (算法), the team identified which scientists were likely using AI to write papers, and compared how many papers they produced before and after adopting AI. They also employed a formula (公式) to carefully measure the complexity of the writing. And finally, they determined which papers were later published in scientific journals.
“We found an opposite relationship between writing complexity and quality,” Stuart said. “If you’re human, the more complicated the writing is, the better the paper is. But if you’re a robot, the more complicated the writing is, the less good the paper is.”
8. What did De Vaan think of LLMs when they first appeared
A. They would replace scientists soon.
B. They lowered research quality greatly.
C. They were hard to use in science studies.
D. They saved much time for scientific writing.
9. What does the underlined word “superficial” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Deep. B. Basic. C. Shallow. D. Simple.
10. What did the researchers do in the study
A. They published papers with peer reviews.
B. They checked papers uploaded for 4 years.
C. They measured the writing quality with AI.
D. They compared pre-and post-AI paper outputs.
11. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. AI makes writing less complex. B. Less complexity improves AI works.
C. Humans prefer simple writing in papers. D. Complex writing guarantees good quality.
D
With some luck, specialized equipment, a supervolcano and a narrow hole 30 stories deep, researchers proved that earthquakes shake up more than just rocks — they also raise microbe (微生物) populations living underground.
Up to 30 percent of life on Earth never sees sunlight. Instead, these creatures live on hydrogen produced by the chemical reaction between water and rocks. Earthquakes break rocks into pieces, create new reaction surfaces and change the paths of water, thus increasing the production of hydrogen. For a study in PNAS Nexus, researchers tracked the effects of earthquakes on microbes at the bottom of a 100-meter-deep hole in Yellowstone National Park.
The scientists travelled 10 hours to and from the research site seven times over seven months. There they collected samples of rocks, gases and microbes, overcoming equipment problems, transportation difficulties, and more along the way. The group was lucky enough to be taking measurements at just the right time — and in the ideal location — to perfectly catch the rise and fall of a rare “swarm (泛滥)” of 2,182 earthquakes. Yellowstone has a lot of earthquakes, but quake swarms this powerful tend to occur every five to 10 years, says Montana State University geomicrobiologist Eric Boyd, the study’s lead author.
During the quake swarm, the amount of microbial life present increased by 6.5 times before returning to normal after the quakes. Hydrogen levels also increased, and the types of microbes observed changed. “All the pieces fit together nicely,” Boyd says. “We put all these data together, and we’re like, holy cow!”
The results might offer clues for finding life living under otherworldly surfaces, too. “Applying this finding to other planets and moons suggests that underground life might be most easily found in places where earthquakes often happen,” says Steven D’Hondt, who studies below-seafloor life at the University of Rhode Island and was not involved in the work. “It’s a wonderful study,” he adds.
12. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. The cause of earthquake swarms. B. The importance of a new method.
C. The introduction of a new finding. D. The complexity of underground life.
13. What contributes to the increase in underground creatures
A. The change of daylight hours. B. The decrease of rock breakdown.
C. The growing production of hydrogen. D. The rise of temperature deep underground.
14. What does the author intend to show by mentioning “The group was lucky enough”
A. The importance of the research. B. The danger in fieldwork tasks.
C. The frequency of the quake swarms. D. The difficulty in data collection.
15. What do the words of D’Hondt mainly show
A. Features of seafloor creatures. B. Choice of new research methods.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.

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。
As soon as the bell rang for the end of school, I hurried to the library to join the Writing Club, where Miss Lisa asked us to work with critique partners (互评搭档) and give helpful feedback (反馈) to each other.
My critique partner was Penny. We sat across from each other and exchanged our stories. I was nervous because I was good at creating story ideas but struggled with spelling, grammar, and punctuation (标点). Unlike me, Penny always did perfectly in these areas. I read her story straight through and found it incredible — it was about a stray dog named Sunny. “Wow, great story,” I told her. “I don’t have any suggestions. It’s perfect!” “Yours too,” she mumbled. She didn’t even look at me as she passed mine back.
Soon Miss Lisa declared time was up and left. Penny rushed out in such a hurry that her things fell out of her backpack. She quickly picked them up. I found a book under the table titled Sunny the Brave. After reading the description on the back, I realized its plot was exactly the same as Penny’s story — She had copied the idea!
It wasn’t fair. I decided to tell Miss Lisa later. Outside school, I saw Penny sitting on a bench. I walked over and gave her the book only to find her crying. All of a sudden, I wasn’t angry anymore. I remembered that my job as her critique partner was to give helpful feedback, not to make her feel bad. But what should I say Then her mom arrived. I only heard her whisper “Thanks,” before she hurried off.
I kept thinking about Penny and her story as I walked home. I decided to ask Mom what I should do. I found her in the kitchen making dinner with Dad. Watching them prepare food together, it occurred to me that Mom and Dad had different skills, making them a great creative team. With Dad’s attention to detail and Mom’s sense of adventure, their dinners turned out delicious. That gave me an idea to suggest to Penny.
（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。
At school the next morning, I found Penny at her locker.

My Weekend Health Plan
To maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, relieve intense academic pressure, and make my spare time both enjoyable and meaningful, I have made a detailed and reasonable weekend plan.
On Saturday morning, I will go jogging in the nearby park to build up my body and relax my mind. In the afternoon, I plan to review what I have learned and preview new lessons efficiently to keep up with my study. In the evening, I will spend time reading classics to enrich my mind and broaden my horizons. On Sunday, I will help my parents with housework and share quality time with my family to strengthen our bond.
I firmly believe this well-organized weekend will keep me energetic and refreshed, making me fully prepared for the challenges of the new school week.
【答案】【参考范文】
At school the next morning, I found Penny at her locker. She lowered her head in shame, obviously scared that I would let out her secret and expose her mistake. Instead of blaming or laughing at her, I approached gently and comforted her patiently, telling her that I totally understood her pressure and anxiety about writing. I proposed that we team up and make up for each other’s weaknesses — I could create creative and interesting story ideas while she polished spelling, grammar and punctuation carefully. Deeply moved and regretful, Penny apologized sincerely and promised never to copy others’ ideas again. Then we made up our minds to go to Miss Lisa and explain the whole thing honestly.
Miss Lisa was more than happy to agree with our idea. She smiled warmly and praised us for learning the true meaning of helpful feedback and cooperation. My heart was filled with relief and joy, for I had never expected such a warm response. From then on, we became perfect and close partners. I focused on creative writing while Penny corrected all the language details carefully. Our writing skills improved greatly and we both grew confident and brave. This unforgettable experience taught us that honesty, kindness and cooperation are the most valuable lessons we could ever learn in the writing club.
