World-Famous Scenic Wonders to Explore
Our planet is home to countless amazing scenic spots, where natural beauty and human wisdom integrate to create unforgettable experiences. These destinations not only attract travelers worldwide but also carry rich cultural and historical meanings.
The Great Wall of China
First built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Great Wall of China is one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”. Stretching over 21,000 kilometers, this longest military defense project in the world winds through mountains like a huge dragon, displaying the ancient Chinese people’s wisdom and perseverance. As a world cultural heritage, it has become a must-visit for those eager to feel China’s profound history.
The Taj Mahal
Built in the 17th century by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, the Taj Mahal is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture, mixing Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles. Made of white marble with precious stones, this ivory-white mausoleum stands beside the Yamuna River in Agra, its marble design and complex carvings representing forever love. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
Yellowstone National Park
On the other side of the globe, Yellowstone National Park in the US stands as the world’s first national park. Covering parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it is distinguished by unique geothermal (地热的) features—spectacular geysers (间歇泉), colorful hot springs, and bubbling mud volcanoes. Vast forests and grasslands within the park are home to elk, grizzly bears, and other wildlife, offering nature lovers a chance to get close to the wild.
The Great Barrier Reef
Another treasure is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the largest coral reef (珊瑚) system on Earth.

The light is pouring through the windows as I stare attentively at a violin-shaped piece of wood in my hands. I run my fingertips over the rough surface to feel for imperfections that will need to be removed. “Violin making is easy,” my teacher used to joke, “just take away all the bits of wood that aren’t a violin.”
By the time I’m in my workshop holding this piece of wood, I’ve already been up for many hours. I’m an early riser. After coffee, I head out for an hour-long walk with my dog, Eggs. Most of my ideas come to me during morning walks, including my proudest project to date: a violin I made for a film supporting the Right to Roam campaign, which advocates for public access to the countryside in the landscape. The violin has become the community’s shared treasure for local folk players to take into the hills and play.
I love walking into my workshop in the morning. My work varies from small adjustments to more extensive work requiring a careful handling of the violin as a historical object. You never know what you’ll find inside an old violin. One of my favorite repairs involved a violin full of cracks. When I removed the front of it, I found its inside filled with pencil signatures from makers of the past. One read, in beautiful old calligraphic writing: “Le Petit Luthier à Paris, 1825”.
Although many heritage crafts, like violin making, play a vital role in cultural economy, they’re usually not big money earners. My choice of job also informs my lifestyle. While my friends devote time to travel and spend money on luxuries, I invest my time in community, nature, and my growth as a craftsperson. I didn’t truly find my way to those things, or realize how much fulfilling they are, until I began working as a violin maker.
4. What’s required to be a violin maker
A．Good sense of humor.
B．Keen eyes and sensitive touch.
C．Good knowledge of technology.
D．Rich experience in cutting wood.
5. Why does the author value the film project so much
A．It is for public welfare.
B．It is loved by the folk players.
C．It is highly ranked by experts.
D．It was shown in a famous film.
6. What impressed the author most about the old violin she repaired
A．The fine skill it showed.
B．The person who crafted it.
C．Traces of history it carried.
D．Severe damage it suffered.
7. What does the author want to convey through his story
A．Love will find a way.
B．Still water runs deep.
C．Actions speak louder than words.
D．The best things in life are not material.
C
Many programs claim to boost happiness, like daily meditation (冥想) or 12-week gratitude diary. These activities from positive psychology do work, but most people are too busy to keep up with them. What if finding more happiness did not require a major time commitment or a big lifestyle change What if it could come from simple, brief actions such as texting a genuine “thank you” to a colleague, asking a friend to share something that made them feel proud or looking at the sky’s vastness with wonder
Inspired by the 2021 film Mission: Joy, researchers created a free, globally available online resource called the Big Joy Project. This free online program sends daily 5-10 minute micro acts to people worldwide. Examples include listening to a 42-second laughter clip or writing a gratitude list. Over 100,000 people from over 200 countries have joined, completing more than 400,000 micro acts. Studies show amazing results: after just one week, participants felt happier, less stressed, and even slept better. The benefits were for everyone — even people with financial struggles or lower education. The project also made people more willing to help others.
Why do these small acts work We think it’s because they boost positive emotions, inspire feelings of connection, and help people feel more aligned with what brings them meaning and purpose. Indeed, many of these behaviors — practicing gratitude and being more sociable, for instance — have been well studied for years and found to be beneficial to the doer or giver. Also, they make people feel in control of their happiness, not just waiting for good things to happen.
In a world full of loneliness and burnout, micro acts are powerful. They prove that simple, daily micro acts can ratchet up happiness in a more empowering way. While more research is needed, the Big Joy Project shows that anyone can feel happier with simple, daily acts.
8. Why does the author raise two questions in Paragraph 1
A．To exhibit some examples.
B．To display mental activities.
C．To show research direction.
D．To question previous programs.
9. What is a result of the Big Joy Project
A．People rid themselves of all sleep problems.
B．People with lower education got more help.
C．People had their financial problems solved.
D．People were happier and willing to help others.
10. What does the underlined phrase “ratchet up” mean in the last paragraph
A．Increase.
B．Decrease.
C．Affect.
D．Spread.
11. What’s the best title of the passage
A．Small Acts, Big Joy
B．More commitment, More Joy
C．Simple Changes, Huge Gains
D．More Attention, Greater Happiness
D
Scientists in San Juan Island are testing a new method to listen to whales. They are using hair-thin fiber-optic cables (光纤) as underwater microphones. This technology is called Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS).
Unlike traditional tools that listen from one spot, DAS can use the whole length of the cable as a sensor. This allows scientists to find the exact place of a whale and track its direction.
The researchers have already proven that DAS works for large baleen whales (大型须鲸). In a test, they recorded the sounds of fin whales and blue whales by using it. Now, they face a new challenge: Seeing if it works for killer whales. Killer whales use high-frequency clicks, which are harder to detect (监测).
This research is important. The local killer whales, known as Southern Residents, are disappearing, with only about 75 left. They face three main threats: underwater noise from ships, a lack of their main food — Chinook salmon, and toxic pollution. Ship noise can cover up the killer whales’ clicks, making it hard for them to hunt the already few salmon.
If successful, the DAS system could provide real-time data on where the killer whales are. For example, if scientists detect killer whales moving towards a busy shipping lane, they could tell nearby ferries to slow down or reduce noise, giving the whales a safer path. The method could also open a new window into killer whales’ behavior and communication.
With thousands of miles of cables already on ocean floors worldwide, this technology could create a huge global network for monitoring underwater life and helping with conservation efforts.
12. What do the researchers use DAS for
A．Guiding whales.
B．Tracking whales.
C．Discovering whales’ food.
D．Repairing ships.
13. What is the researchers’ next plan after using DAS on large baleen whales
A．To apply DAS to killer whales.
B．To build a cheaper DAS system.
C．To study fish species in deeper water.
D．To record the sound of baleen whales.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How DAS works.
B．Why it is difficult to find killer whales.
C．What killer whales suffer.
D．How the research is carried out.
15. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A．Ocean life will be protected worldwide.
B．DAS has already worked well on killer whales.
C．Killer whales can reduce noise by slowing down.
D．DAS may help protect and study killer whales.

How to Deliver Effective Presentations
Delivering presentations is an everyday art form that anyone can master. To capture your audience’s attention, present your information with ease and confidence. To get this level of fluency, write an engaging narrative, use more visuals than text in your slides, and practice, practice, practice.
Think of your presentation as a story. 16 _______ Start by setting the stage, then pull your audience into a tale with an exciting climax (高潮). It may help to start your presentation with a question or a dilemma so they feel involved from the start.
Make your slides as visual as possible. 17 _______ Instead, present charts, graphs, photos, or illustrations that only you can explain. This way, your audience remains focused on you.
Include humor. 18 _______ Try leading your audience up to a point that sounds as if it will be serious, technical, or even dangerous, and then surprise them with a joke. If your presentation has a lot of data, you might transition between topics with funny visuals.
19 _______ If you are working with a small crowd, you can talk directly to members of the audience. Ask someone to tell a joke to get you warmed up, or quiz audience members about their experience with something related to your topic. If it’s a large group, ask questions that each audience member can answer with a show of hands.
With practice and preparation, you can deliver presentations that inform, engage, and inspire. But even the best plan can run into trouble. 20 _______ For example, if the microphone stops working or a slide won’t load, staying calm and handling it gracefully can actually strengthen your connection with the audience.
A．Make jokes and tell funny anecdotes.
B．Find ways to make your presentation interactive.
C．Therefore, you’d better prepare for potential technical failures.
D．As you write, organize it along a story line instead of by topics.
E．This is why having a backup plan is essential for any presenter.
F．Avoid long sentences that explain everything you are going to say.
G．Practice your speech in front of a mirror to check your body language.

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。词数150左右。
Mark had a secret: he couldn’t ride a bike. It wasn’t because he never tried. His father taught him one summer when he was seven. He ran alongside him, holding the seat, and shouting “Keep pedalling (踩踏板)!” But Mark’s balance was terrible. He fell into the bushes, and both knees bled. After two weeks of trying, his dad sighed, “Maybe next year.” But that “next year” never came. The childhood shame stayed with him.
Then, he grew up and had a family of his own. He never shared the secret with anyone but his wife, Lena. Most of the time, it didn’t matter. When friends invited him on bike trips, he volunteered to drive and bring snacks. When the kids were old enough to learn to ride, Lena offered to teach them.
But lately, his twelve-year-old daughter Alice and seven-year-old son Bob were planning the first-ever “Family Bike Adventure.” They had picked a campsite (营地) by the lake and mapped a biking route around it. Every night, they’d argue about who would win the family race. Mark smiled through every conversation, but inside, his stomach tightened. In every other way, Mark was a perfect dad. He never missed a school event and could fix everything in the house. Admitting he couldn’t ride That was hard.
So he made a plan. After the kids went to bed, he slipped out and wheeled a bike to the empty market parking lot to practise. But thirty years after that summer, his body still remembered nothing. The bike seemed to have a mind of its own, and he just couldn’t control it. His legs shook. His hands ached. Sometimes he would crash into the wall.
The next day, Alice, a considerate girl, asked about his bruised (淤青的) knees. But he said nothing. After several nights, Lena said to him, “You don’t have to do this. The kids don’t care. No one can do everything.” Mark shook his head. “They think I can. Let me try a little longer.”
One night, after he fell off the bike again, he heard a voice. “Dad ” His heart stopped.
It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity.

That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily.

Dear Jim，
I’m glad to hear that you will hold an activity themed "Green Beijing". Here are my suggestions.
You can organize two main activities. First, hold a speech contest about environmental protection to raise people’s awareness. Second, you can arrange a park clean-up activity. Members can pick up rubbish and plant small trees together. Besides, putting up posters about low-carbon life is also a good choice.
I believe these activities will work well. Wish your activity a great success!
Yours，
Li Hua
读后续写
It was Alice, who had followed him out of curiosity. Seeing her father’s tired look and injured knees, Alice felt upset. She walked up to Mark gently and told him she had known his secret for days. She said that being a good dad never meant being good at everything. What mattered most was his love for the family. Greatly moved, Mark finally let go of his worry and shame.
That Saturday, when his family went biking, Mark stayed at the campsite happily. He prepared delicious snacks and waited for them. When the children came back full of joy, they shared their interesting experiences with Mark. Everyone enjoyed the warm time together. Mark realized that accepting his weakness also brought him happiness.
