A
If you’re eager to step back in time and touch the UK’s millennia-old history, these four surviving ancient villages offer a living history journey.
Avebury, Wiltshire
Built around 2600 BC, older than Stonehenge, Avebury is famous for its massive stone circles, which were likely used for ancient ceremonies and astronomical observations. Visitors can walk freely among the stones unlike at Stonehenge. Don’t leave without ranging over the nearby medieval church and manor house, as the site’s museum provides fascinating insights into its prehistoric origins.
Castleton, Derbyshire
Dating back to the 11th century, Castleton is a charming village nestled in the Peak District, known for its well-preserved Norman castle ruins and the mysterious Peak Cavern, Britain’s largest cave entrance. Every May, the village holds its unique Garland Ceremony, where a flowery garland is paraded through the streets — a tradition traced to Celtic times.
Clovelly, Devon
This picturesque fishing village has existed since the Domesday Book (1086). Its steep, cobbled streets and traditional whitewashed cottages with flower-filled balconies make it look frozen in time. Cars are still not allowed in the village, so visitors must walk — just as people did hundreds of years ago. Donkeys were traditionally used to carry goods up the 400-foot hill, and you can still see them at work today.
Bibury, Gloucestershire
Often called the most beautiful village in England, Bibury was first mentioned in records from the 8th century. Its famous Arlington Row, a line of perfectly preserved 17th-century weavers’ cottages built from honey-colored stone, is one of the most photographed spots in the country. The cottages were originally built to store wool for the nearby mill, and their charming appearance has remained unchanged for centuries.
21. What does the author suggest visitors do in Avebury
A. Observe the stone circles. B. Explore the medieval church.
C. Take a walk on cobbled streets. D. Investigate Britain’s Peak Cavern.
22. Where can you find a transportation tradition from ancient times
A. In Avebury. B. In Castleton. C. In Clovelly. D. In Bibury.
23. What is a feature of Bibury’s Arlington Row
A. It has colorful balconies. B. It hosts annual ceremonies.
C. It is the oldest building in England. D. It was originally used for wool storage.
B
John, an American vlogger residing in China, recently posted a video capturing a heartwarming scene in Guizhou. The subject was Guiyang Bus No. 252, officially named the “Huinong Special Line,” which literally translates to “Benefiting the Farmers.” This unique service quickly went viral, touching millions of hearts worldwide and showcasing China’s grassroots development.
In his video, John highlights the sharp contrast between this bus and those in the US. “In the States, buses mainly serve city commuters,” he remarks. “But this operates like a mobile farm market on wheels.” Waking up at 5:00 a.m. and getting on the bus at 5:30, John documented farmers boarding with heavy baskets. He was particularly impressed by the custom-designed shelves for these baskets. “While American farmers rely on private trucks, this bus offers a brilliant communal solution,” he noted.
Unlike standard routes making dozens of stops, this line makes only four or five strategic stops, shortening the trip to just over 40 minutes. What touched John most deeply was the human connection. He filmed an elderly farmer sharing her homemade breakfast with a young stranger and recorded the driver patiently helping passengers lift heavy loads. “You rarely see this kind of natural kindness in the hustle of big American cities,” John reflected emotionally.
He also noted the incredibly low fare — only 2 yuan by farmers, about 0.29 US dollar. “For that price in New York, you can barely get a small cup of promotional coffee at McDonald’s,” he laughed. Concluding with a smile, John summarized, “This bus is a vital bridge connecting the countryside to the city.” For many viewers, this small bus represents the genuine care in rural China, supporting the national strategy to revitalize the countryside through practical services.
24. Why did John make the video about Guiyang Bus No. 252
A. To advertise Guizhou tourism.
B. To complain about US transport.
C. To display how to sell Chinese vegetables.
D. To bring out a Chinese bus service for farmers.
25. What is the characteristic of the custom-designed shelves
A. They sell coffee and snacks. B. They help carry farm produce.
C. They replace all the private trucks. D. They speed up Rural & Urban buses.
26. What does the breakfast-sharing incident imply
A. The driver was diligent. B. The stranger was hungry.
C. People cared for each other. D. Passengers were well-mannered.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. High expenses of living in New York City.
B. A vlogger’s experience of living in Guizhou.
C. A bus service supporting rural revitalization.
D. Varieties between Chinese and American buses.
C
As global temperatures rise, many species are finding their natural habitats becoming increasingly uninhabitable. Traditional conservation efforts, such as creating nature reserves, are no longer sufficient to save some species from extinction. In response, scientists have turned to a revolutionary new strategy known as “assisted migration”.
Assisted migration involves physically moving plants or animals to a new location where environmental conditions are more suitable for their survival. The logic is simple: if a species’ home is getting too hot or dry, move it to a cooler or wetter place. Supporters maintain that this is not just an option but a necessity. For example, the critically endangered Florida torreya, a type of coniferous (松类的) tree, is being moved from its native Florida to North Carolina, where temperatures are lower and more stable.
However, the practice is highly controversial. Objectors warn that moving species can have unforeseen and negative consequences for the new ecosystems. Introducing a non-native species might disrupt the delicate balance of the local food chain or introduce new diseases. There is also the risk that the transplanted species might not adapt to their new environment and die anyway, wasting precious resources.
Despite these risks, the debate continues. As climate change accelerates, the window of opportunity to save many species is closing. Scientists and policymakers must weigh the likely benefits of assisted migration against the risks of ecological disruption. Ultimately, the goal is not just to move species, but to buy them time until we can address the root cause of the problem: climate change itself.
28. Why is “assisted migration” proposed
A. To create new nature preserves.
B. To help species survive habitat loss.
C. To introduce new species to ecosystems.
D. To control the rising global temperatures.
29. What can we infer about the native habitat of Florida torreya
A. It is warmer and less stable recently.
B. It is located in North Carolina originally.
C. It is the most suitable for coniferous trees.
D. Its temperature and climate are changeable.
30. What is the core concern of objectors about “assisted migration”
A. The lack of public support. B. The high cost of the whole process.
C. The difficulty in finding new habitats. D. The potential risks to the new environment.
31. How can we describe the author’s tone in the text
A. Objective and plain. B. Critical and tolerant.
C. Appreciative and serious. D. Skeptical and opposed.
D
In the digital age, it is common to see people glued to their smartphones, scrolling through social media feeds or responding to endless notifications. While technology has connected us in unheard-of ways, it has also led to a state of constant distraction. A growing number of experts and individuals are now advocating for a return to “digital minimalism”.
Digital minimalism is not about rejecting technology entirely; rather, it is about using technology intentionally. The philosophy, popularized by writer Cal Newport, reasons that most digital tools are designed to be addictive, commanding our attention for profit. Minimalists propose that we should step back and ask a primary question: Does this tool add significant value to my life If the answer is no, it should be weeded out or strictly limited.
Practicing digital minimalism requires a reset. Many believers suggest a digital declutter — a period where you delete unnecessary apps, unsubscribe from non-essential newsletters, and turn off non-vital notifications. Instead of mindlessly consuming information, minimalists focus on high-quality activities that promote long-term fulfillment, such as reading physical books, exercising, or engaging in face-to-face conversations.
Critics debates that in a world driven by social media and instant communication, disconnecting is not only impractical but also isolating. However, advocates counter that true connection cannot exist without presence. By reducing the noise of the digital world, individuals can retake their attention and rebuild meaningful relationships. In a society that often equates busyness with success, digital minimalism offers a fundamental alternative: the courage to be less connected in order to be more alive.
32. What is the main problem the author intends to address
A. The over-reliance on digital devices.
B. The slow development of digital tools.
C. The lack of face-to-face communication
D. Barriers in accessing high-quality information.
33. What does the underlined word “intentionally” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Purposefully. B. Carelessly. C. Habitually. D. Decisively
34. How does the author clarify the practice of “digital minimalism” in paragraph 3
A. By comparing the cost of apps and newsletters.
B. By listing possible dangers of physical activities.
C. By explaining the complexity of modern technology.
D. By revealing the emptiness of mindless consumption.
35. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text
A. Social Media: A Double-Edged Sword
B. Digital Minimalism: Retaking Our Attention
C. The History Origin of Digital Technology
D. The Measures to Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

How Micro-Habits Improve Study Routines
Developing strong study habits doesn’t require fierce changes — small, consistent micro-habits can reshape your learning over time. By starting tiny and building gradually, anyone can turn scattered efforts into sustained progress. 36 .
Start with a ridiculously small version of the desired habit. Instead of aiming to study for two hours daily, begin with just 5 minutes of focused reading or note-reviewing. 37 . For example, commit to “reading one textbook paragraph” each morning. Once automatic, slowly increase the time. Smail wins build confidence and reduce procrastination.
Another critical step is to attach the habit to a fixed time or place. 38 — choose a specific moment like after breakfast or before bed, and tie it to a regular task (e.g., after brushing teeth). Consistency trains your brain to expect the task, making it easier to start. Avoid indefinite plans like “study when I have time,” which often lead to skipping.
To stay motivated, connect the micro-habit to something you enjoy. If you love music, listen to instrumental tracks while memorizing vocabulary. 39 . This melt of duty and pleasure makes the habit feel less like a chore. Enjoyment fuels persistence.
Tracking progress is also essential. Record each success to visualize growth and stay encouraged. Use a simple chart or app to mark each day you complete the micro-habit. Seeing a streak of checkmarks creates a sense of achievement. Celebrate milestones like 30 straight days with a small reward (e.g., a favorite snack).
40 . Start today, and watch your study routine flourish.
A. Here’s how you can apply this approach
B. That’s why we must get the hang of the tips
C. The key is to make it so easy you can’t say no
D. Link it to an existing daily routine for consistency
E. So, specialize in tough subjects to maximize efficiency
F. With micro-habits, small steps lead to big transformations
G. If drawing interests you, sketch diagrams to explain a concept.

Still, Lim remained 53 . He admired and showed respect for Humphries’ dedication and effort, but a quiet fire burned within.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文
Grandpa Li had worked on Green Acres Farm all his life. However, in recent years, things had become tough. Young people were moving to the cities, and the old farming methods couldn’t compete with big factories. Grandpa often sat by the window, staring at the overgrown fields with a heavy heart.
One weekend, 20-year-old Leo, grandpa Li’s grandson, a college graduate, came to the farm. Knowing Grandpa’s worry, Leo felt a pang of sadness. “Grandpa, we need to change,” Leo said firmly. He suggested trying agritourism. “City people love fresh air and hands-on experiences. We can let them pick vegetables and taste homemade food,” Leo explained.
Grandpa Li hesitated at first, but Leo’s enthusiasm was infectious. They spent the next few months transforming the farm. They built a cozy wooden cabin and a DIY barbecue area. Leo designed posters and posted them online. To their surprise, the response was immediate. Soon, they received their first booking for a weekend tour.
On a sunny Saturday in early autumn, a group of twenty tourists arrived. Everyone was excited to pick pumpkins and make jams. Grandpa Li was busy but happy, wearing a big smile he hadn’t shown in years. By noon, the farm was filled with laughter and the smell of cooking. It seemed like their dream was finally coming true.
However, nature was ever-changing. In the afternoon, dark clouds gathered suddenly. Without warning, a fierce downpour hit. The rain was so heavy that it turned the dirt road into a muddy river. The tourists panicked as they realized they couldn’t leave. Worse still, a large tree branch broke off and blocked the only exit.
Grandpa Li stared at the mess in despair. “It’s all ruined,” he muttered, his voice trembling. “We’ll never fix this in time. Everyone will be angry.” Leo looked at the pouring rain, his mind racing. He knew they were in deep trouble, but he also knew they had to do something, and fast.
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。
Seeing Grandpa’s depressed and desperate face, Leo took a deep breath and stepped forward to take control.
The next morning, as the sun rose, the tourists gathered to say goodbye.

Dear Mayor,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior 3 student who often visits the city art zone. I’m writing to report its safety risks and suggest solutions.
During a recent outdoor exhibition, I noticed two critical issues. First and foremost, some metal art frames are old and loose, in poor condition, risking falls on windy days. Furthermore, the path lights are too dim at night, which makes it hard for visitors to see the steps and uneven ground. To ensure public safety, I strongly propose the authorities conduct immediate inspections to fix all loose frames as soon as possible; It is also vital to replace all the dim lights with bright ones. Regular safety checks would also help avoid accidents.
Thank you for your time and prioritizing public safety for everyone.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1
Seeing Grandpa’s depressed and desperate face, Leo took a deep breath and stepped forward to take control. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. We’ve got this,” he said confidently. Then Leo quickly gathered the anxious tourists under a large sunshade and assured them that help was on the way. Next, he grabbed a shovel and led a few strong young men to clear the fallen branches. Meanwhile, Grandpa Li, inspired by his grandson’s calmness, flexibility and adaptability, urged the others to start a bonfire in the fireplace to dry their wet clothes and keep themselves warm. Leo even used his phone to live-stream the “adventure”, thus turning the crisis into a unique story. To everyone’s relief, the rain stopped an hour later, and the muddy road began to dry.
Paragraph 2
The next morning, as the sun rose, the tourists gathered to say goodbye. Without a single complaint, they thanked the Li’ s sincerely and praised their ability to handle emergencies and delicious farm food. “This was the most memorable weekend ever!” one lady exclaimed, holding up a jar of jam she had made. Later，as they drove away, Grandpa Li looked at Leo with tears in his eyes. “You were right, boy. We didn’t just save the day; we saved the farm.” From that day on, Green Acres Farm became well-known and its agritourism flourished, which brought the farmers together and filled their lives with hope, also attracting a growing number of young people to return and participate in rural revitalization.

Today, I’d like to talk about something close to my heart — libraries. Many people think libraries are no longer necessary in the digital age, but I believe they are still extremely valuable.
First, let’s talk about reading, closely connected to libraries. Reading has countless benefits. One most important one is that it increases our knowledge. Whether it’s history, science, or literature, books open up a world of information for us, providing in-depth content that helps us understand the world better.
Now, back to libraries. Libraries are not just places with books. They offer a quiet environment for reading and studying, which is hard to find at home or in cafes. They also provide free access to books, magazines, and even digital resources for people who can’t afford to buy them. Moreover, libraries often hold reading groups, lectures, and other activities that bring the community together.
