A
Lucky for us, Greece has many more insanely brilliant islands so if you’re looking for the perfect island vacation, you are in the right place!
Sifnos
Any Greek trip should include island hopping to Sifnos. It’s a quaint and relaxing island with gorgeous white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. The island is known for beautiful pottery made by locals and it’s a perfect island for couples that want just the right amount of nightlife and action.
Antiparos
Tourists love visiting Antiparos only because it has everything you could ever ask for. The climate is calm, the surroundings are peaceful, and the accommodation is perfect. It is an island that is said to have one of the oldest caves in Europe. The cave has been a place of interest for archaeologists since the cave is made of stone formations and the inscriptions present say a lot about medieval times.
Paros
Paros is a small island in the Aegean Sea. It’s known for its traditional villages, and one of the oldest churches in the country. It’s also a great place to have a party.
Getting around the island is easy if you’re using public transportation — you have the bus and water taxis that hop around the beaches, attractions, and ports.
Milos
Beautiful beaches, pretty villages, and even some fascinating historic sites — Milos, in the Cyclades chain, certainly meets the standard Greek island trifecta. Of course, with over 70 different beaches, it is definitely on another level when it comes to sunbathing opportunities.
The island is also lined with terrific hiking trails, although if you want to cover more ground and expend less energy, you can rent one of the ATVs that are a popular choice for getting around the island.

In 1985, 20-year-old Yin Yuzhen from Shaanxi Province got married and moved with her husband to the interior of the Maowusu Desert. The living conditions there were extremely tough. Everything around her was either sand or something covered in sand. The wind blew sand into their eyes, mouths, and nostrils, and after each storm, there was only silence. Yin and her husband were the only people living in that lonely, empty land.
On the second day of her arrival, Yin resolved that she would not let the desert control her life. Despite her inability to read or write and being totally green when it came to planting, she chose to learn through practical experience. Over time, she figured out that the best way to fight the desert was by planting trees. Her idea was to first grow grass to hold the sand, then plant bushes, and later trees.
At first, her efforts failed. Desert mice ate all the grass seeds. She tried planting them deeper, but the mice still found them. She racked her brains and came up with a great idea. She took one of their sheep and used its hoofprints (蹄印) to hide the seeds. The smell of the sheep disguised the seeds, and the grass began to grow.
Yin didn’t stop there. She planted strong trees like poplars and Scotch pines along the outer edges to block the wind and sand. In the middle, she planted smaller trees and bushes. Her dream was to create a green “fortress” in the desert and grow fruits and crops in the protected center where they lived.
Yin and her husband worked diligently for many years, showing remarkable perseverance. She once said, “I’d rather die of tiredness from fighting the sand than be challenged by it.” In the end, her hard work paid off. The desert that once seemed hopeless turned into a thriving green land.
4. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the background of the story. B．To compare city life and countryside life.
C．To imply the significance of desert control. D．To show the relationship between the couple.
5. What does the underlined phrase “being totally green” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Loving green plants. B．Being very young in age.
C．Protecting the environment. D．Having no experience at all.
6. What words can best describe Yin and her husband
A．Romantic and energetic. B．Determined and creative.
C．Capable and adventurous. D．Knowledgeable and sensitive.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Maowusu Desert’s Bright Future B．The Impact of Strong Sandstorms
C．Modern-day Young People’s Dreams D．A Woman’s Struggle Against the Desert
C
The Amazon in the heart of South America and the Atlantic rainforests on the east coast of the continent are separated by hundreds of miles of dry forest and savanna (稀树草原) that are too difficult for most rainforest trees to survive. Despite this gap, the two ecosystems share many different species of tree.
It was previously supposed that the trees bridged this gap during historical periods when the region was much wetter and more forgiving to passing trees.
Off the back of new research, a new theory has sprung up: The forests of the Atlantic rainforest are constantly occupied by trees from the Amazon. They do this by growing and spreading along the river, which acts like a hidden “highway” between the two separated ecosystems.
“Rather than tree species being exchanged during specific wetter periods in the past, we found that they have dispersed consistently over time,” Dr James Nicholls, lead study author, said in a statement. “This probably happens slowly, by generations of trees growing along the ‘highways’ provided by rivers that run through Brazil’s dry ecosystems,” added Dr Nicholls.
The researchers came to this conclusion by studying the genetics of 164 species of Inga tree, which are common in Latin American rainforests. Their DNA was used to reconstruct the “family tree” of the plants showing the team when each species split from its numerous ancestors and their pattern of movement across the continent. Researchers identified 16 to 20 instances of species migrating from the Amazon to the Atlantic Forest and successfully taking root.
The study highlights how the natural world does not respect the national borders set by homo sapiens (智人). These ecosystems are deeply connected, frequently spreading between countries with regardless of border checks and passports. This view, the team says, could have huge importance for the conservation of the rainforests in South America and the rest of the world.
8. What can we learn from the old theory of tree migration
A．It depended on genetic data. B．It stressed slow river spread.
C．It proved species connection. D．It assumed wetter past periods.
9. How do trees from the Amazon reach the Atlantic rainforest according to the new theory
A．By using wind movement. B．By getting human assistance.
C．By following river highways. D．By relying on animal migration.
10. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Spread. B．Increased. C．Reduced. D．Disappeared.
11. What does the study suggest people do for rainforest conservation
A．Focus only on the Amazon. B．Cooperate across countries.
C．Protect each forest separately. D．Ignore national borders entirely.
D
It’s early morning, and Murungi is standing next to a towering tree. At its base rests a large yellow plastic jerrycan (油罐). A plastic sheet is pinned to the bark of the tree and then tucked into (塞进) the jerrycan. “At night when the mist comes, water forms on the tree. Then it rolls down the trunk, onto the plastic and into this container,” he explains.
Around the world, climate change is worsening drought conditions and limiting water access, leaving people searching for surprising sources, like fog and dew (露水). And while some of the methods for fog harvesting, like this one in the mountains, have been around for generations, scientists and volunteers have come up with new ways, including technology that can pull water from the air in practically any environment.
Most fog harvesting operations around the world use big mesh nets to trap the fog. “Of course, this is just inspired by nature. The plants that we see in our desert grow little hair, little branches, and when the moist air comes, they trap it,” specialist McDonnell says. “Nature does it best, always. But we’re learning to control and use it for what we humans require.” And McDonnell points out — there’s no energy involved. The carbon footprint is essentially nothing. There is one problem, though: Fog isn’t necessarily a constant. And it, too, is affected by climate change. “It depends on how long the fogs are available for,” she says.
Getting water from fog isn’t the only way to harvest from the air. New technology has made it possible to pull atmospheric water from any environment. It uses fans to suck in hot, moisture-filled air and then cools the air to condense (凝结) the water. The water is then filtered and minerals are added, making it safe for drinking. This technology has been developed in several places around the world. However, the technology is expensive, costing thousands of dollars for even the most basic model. And it uses energy — often solar powered — so it’s not passive in terms of environmental impacts like traditional fog harvesting.
12. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
A．present the daily routine of local people B．describe a common forest scene for readers
C．introduce a traditional fog-harvesting method D．explain how trees naturally collect water from the air
13. What is the result of climate change according to the passage
A．Higher sea level. B．Less water access.
C．More foggy weather. D．Worse health conditions.
14. What does McDonnell imply about nature-inspired fog nets
A．They are more eco-friendly. B．They are costly to maintain.
C．They work better than trees. D．They consume much energy.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A．Traditional fog-harvesting methods are no longer effective today.
B．People are developing various ways to harvest water from the air.
C．Climate change is worsening droughts in many parts of the world.
D．New technologies have completely solved the global water shortage.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
OpenClaw: The “Lobster” in Your Computer
16._______
Recently, “raising lobsters” has become a hot topic on social media. However, these “lobsters” are not for eating. OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent software. Its name comes from “Open” (open-source) and “Claw” (the powerful pincers of a lobster). With its red lobster icon, it has quickly become a favorite among tech fans, who jokingly call the training process “raising lobsters.”
A Powerful Digital Assistant
17._______ Unlike traditional AI models like ChatGPT that only provide text or voice suggestions, OpenClaw is a “doer”. Once you give it permission to access your device, it acts as a real personal assistant. It can take over your software to perform complex tasks, such as organizing messy files, managing schedules, and sending emails — all through simple voice commands. It’s like hiring a digital employee for free.
Installation and Costs
While models like DeepSeek are easy to use for everyone, OpenClaw requires some technical skills to set up. This has created a new market for installation services. On various platforms, “door-to-door installation” is booming. Prices usually range from 300 to 800 yuan, with 500 yuan being the most common price per session. 18._______ For those on a budget, remote installation is a cheaper choice, typically costing between 50 and 100 yuan.
A Final Thought
With the “lobster fever” spreading, many people feel anxious about being left behind. 19._______ However, there is no need to panic. Just as the Internet and smartphones once seemed complex but eventually became part of everyday life, truly revolutionary technology will always find its way to the masses. After all, the goal is not to chase every new trend, but to embrace technology when it truly serves our needs. 20._______
A．The Rise of a New AI “Lobster”.
B．The Impact of “Raising Lobsters”.
C．It differs from ChatGPT in a special way.
D．It stands out for its ability to carry out actions.
E．Stay calm and let technology serve us, not the other way around.
F．They worry that they might be replaced by these “digital employees”.
G．This may seem expensive, but the professional service ensures success.

Several years ago, I traveled to Qucanbeyan to ask a specialist for help about a chronic (慢性的) health condition that had troubled me for years. My trip was coming to an end, and I was scheduled to head home from Queensland early the next morning. To ensure a smooth departure (离开), I had carefully set my alarm to catch a pre-ordered taxi to the airport.
However, when the sun began to come through the curtains and I finally woke up, a wave of cold panic washed over me. I realized with horror that I had forgotten daylight savings (夏令时). I was now running a full hour late, and my original taxi was long gone.
Desperate and confused, I picked up my phone to order another taxi and hurried to the front of the hotel. Standing on the dark footpath under the dim glow of a streetlamp, I called my sister. My voice was trembling as I described my situation. I told her how unwell I felt and how the “brain fog” was making it nearly impossible to think clearly or solve even the simplest problems. I felt small, weak, and completely overwhelmed.
Just then, a pair of bright headlights cut through the morning darkness. A taxi pulled over. Relieved, I rushed forward, but as I opened the door, the driver shook his head firmly. “Sorry, lady, this one is for the gentleman behind you.”
My heart sank. But then, out of the shadows stepped a well-dressed, professional-looking man. He had clearly overheard my distressed phone call and witnessed my moment of despair. Before I could even make an apology, he turned to the driver with a calm, commanding kindness and said, “She’s in such a rush. Let’s share the ride.”
Gratefully, I climbed in, my trembling hands finally beginning to settle. As the car sped toward the city, I found myself explaining my situation in a rush of words. The man listened with genuine empathy (共情), his eyes reflecting a deep understanding that I rarely got from strangers.
At one point, he whispered something to the driver.

At one point, he whispered something to the driver. Soon the taxi changed direction slightly and drove faster. He told me he had asked the driver to get me to the airport ahead of time so I wouldn’t miss my flight. I was so moved by his kindness. We chatted casually on the way, and his gentle words calmed my anxiety gradually. Before I knew it, we arrived at the airport.
As he was about to leave, I realized I didn’t even know his name. I thanked him repeatedly and asked for his name. He just smiled and said helping others was nothing special. Then he waved goodbye and walked away. This warm experience stayed in my mind all these years. It taught me that small kindnesses can light up others’ lives.
