Four Special European Hotels
Aristi Mountain Resort & Villas
It’s built of locally available materials, such as stone and wood. In all its 173 rooms, waste water is recycled through a hi-tech cleaning system. The hotel’s award-winning Salvia restaurant uses fruit and vegetables from its own gardens and greenhouse. During the summer there is an outdoor pool in perfect harmony with the green mountains. Other activities include hiking, horse-riding and bird-watching.
Doubles from ?178(breakfast included)
Hotel Fljótshlíd
Located in South Iceland, Hotel Fljótshlíd has 14 rooms, all of which have heated floors and private bathrooms, all powered by renewable energy. Guests can plant trees to offset(抵消) their carbon footprints, and the hotel is aiming for zero food waste. There are views of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, and guests can go horse-riding or tour the working farm.
Doubles from ?108(breakfast included)
Montimesso SkyScape Country House
It has 15 rooms, all with contemporary Portuguese furniture and balconies. Rainwater is collected and processed for daily use. Because of its dark sky location, light pollution has been reduced. The staff are mostly from the local Alentejo region. The biggest draw here is the sky — guests can use telescopes to look at distant stars and planets from its platform.
Doubles from ?198(breakfast included)
Wren Urban Nest
Opened last September, Wren Urban Nest in Dublin makes an effort to limit single-use plastics in its 137 rooms and puts emphasis on locals. Wonky(卖相不好的) vegetables are used in the kitchen and waste is reduced by using an app called Too Good To Go. It’s a four-minute walk to Trinity College and Grafton Street and a 19-minute walk to Connolly Station, the country’s busiest train station.

Known as the “Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) For Plants”, the Gurukula Botanical Reserve in Kerala, India, protecting valuable plant species damaged by deforestation, urbanization, and climate change, is carefully tended by a team of 20 mostly local women.
It began in 1981 when Wolfgang Theuerkauf, a German conservationist, was gifted seven acres of old-growth rainforest. Back then, the surrounding land was being cleared for tea and fruit plantations. Wolfgang quickly acted when he saw the ancient rainforest, holding diverse plant species, start to disappear. He began to collect endangered plants, bringing them back to his land, where the Reserve was initially created. He employed and trained women of the local, rural communities. Though lacking formal education, the women were familiar with their surroundings. They learned through hands-on experience: transplanting, observing, and persevering through trial and error.
One of them, Laly Joseph, joined as a young woman. “I liked working with plants, so I joined,” she recalls. Years later, she now leads the Reserve’s plant conservation work and has even co-authored several scientific papers. Another woman, Lakshmi, used to pick coffee beans for low wages. Now she manages over 100 species of plants. There is also Sheena, a senior gardener who joined at age 15. The job has supported her children and mother after she lost her husband.
Using traditional wisdom and hands-on experimentation, the team patiently cultivates endangered plants until they can be reintroduced into the wild. Specifically, they focus on herbaceous (草本的) plants, which are vital for holding the ecosystem together. “Forests are substantially more than trees,” shares Subrabha Seshan, an educator at the Reserve. As the restored forest becomes thicker and more ecologically complex, it has attracted a wealth of wildlife: 240 bird species, 20 snake species, over 65 butterfly species, and 15 small mammal species. This biodiversity proves that the team is on the right path.
“We’re restoring nature’s ability to heal itself,” Seshan tells the Guardian, “We do some work, but nature’s doing most of the work.”
4. What motivated Wolfgang to start the Reserve
A．The request from tea growers.
B．His commitment to the gifted land.
C．The loss of the local rainforest.
D．His determination to fight climate change.
5. What did the team of women benefit from working in the Reserve
A．Formal university education.
B．Personal growth and stable life.
C．Interest in scientific research.
D．Working skills and international fame.
6. The underlined word “substantially” in paragraph 4 probably means _________.
A．slightly B．greatly C．hardly D．nearly
7. Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Restoring Forests: Women Lead the Way
B．A German Conservationist’s Contribution
C．How to Protect Endangered Plant Species
D．Rich Biodiversity in Kerala’s Rainforests
C
Artificial intelligence is transforming many industries, but one area where its benefits are especially clear is public health. For an industry that demands high accuracy and efficiency, AI could greatly improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
The greatest return from AI may come from detecting life-threatening illnesses earlier and more accurately. In June, Microsoft announced a medical tool that was four times more successful than doctors at identifying complex diseases. Some AI models can even predict health risks years in advance. Scientists recently reported that an AI system could predict the risk of over 1,000 diseases decades into the future.
Less noticeable but equally important is AI’s ability to reduce office work. In the US, paperwork costs account for about 30% of extra healthcare spending compared to other countries. Speech-processing technologies can record conversations with patients, create medical notes, and draft letters. A recent study found that using such technologies reduced documentation time for doctors by more than 50%.
Clearly, promoting AI adoption should be a priority for governments worldwide. Aging populations and rising healthcare costs are putting pressure on public budgets. The World Health Organization predicts a shortage of about 11 million healthcare workers by 2030, especially in lower-income countries. As the Covid-19 pandemic showed, a healthier global population benefits everyone.
However, AI use in healthcare is still new and uneven. The technology is still developing, and strict testing is needed before widespread use. Health professionals need training. Data privacy concerns and outdated IT systems add to the challenges. Managers may hesitate to introduce AI where staff fear job loss.
A joint effort from governments, health regulators, and tech companies is needed to fund, test, and deploy AI in hospitals. This will not be easy, but the reward — healthier populations and more sustainable healthcare systems — is worth the effort.
8. What is the main benefit of AI in healthcare according to paragraph 2
A．It reduces the cost of medical treatment.
B．It replaces doctors in complex surgeries.
C．It speeds up the development of new drugs.
D．It enables early and precise disease detection.
9. How does AI help reduce office work in healthcare
A．By replacing human workers with robots.
B．By doing paperwork in place of doctors.
C．By removing the need for health checks.
D．By training doctors to use new technologies.
10. What can be inferred about the current state of AI in healthcare
A．It has been widely adopted in hospitals.
B．It has already solved data privacy concerns.
C．It hasn’t been put into wide use nowadays.
D．It is only used in private healthcare systems.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of AI in healthcare
A．Indifferent. B．Unclear. C．Cautious. D．Supportive.
D
Imagine you’re cooking potatoes for breakfast. First, you’d remove the potatoes from their plastic bag. Then, you might chop them on a plastic cutting board. Next, you’d probably cook them in a nonstick pan. All the removing, chopping and overheating of nonstick pans can add 2.3 million microplastics to your food.
Besides food, the air and water in your home is full of microplastics. Smaller than a grain of salt, we interact with them more than we might realize. Humans breathe in about 22 million microplastics annually. As a result, microplastics have been detected in our blood and lungs. We’re just beginning to understand the effect of microplastics on human health — but research suggests we should concern more.
A groundbreaking new study shows how the presence of microplastics in arteries (动脉血管) is linked to a greater risk of heart attack and death. When microplastics build up in arteries, the thicker blood vessel (血管) walls reduce blood flow to parts of the body. This study will inspire more research into what other organs plastic may be damaging, such as the brain, or stomach.
Microplastics may be inescapable, but with simple exchanges and fixes, you can reduce the amount of microplastics you encounter in your own home. Carry your own reusable bags and avoid buying food that comes in much plastic packaging. When heating food, use stainless steel instead of nonstick pans. Another way to limit your exposure is to filter (过滤) your tap water to reduce plastic fibers in the tap water.
Ultimately, plastic producing companies are responsible for the high volume of plastic waste in our environments, and significantly reducing that plastic—and the microplastics that come with it — will have to be at the policy level nationwide and worldwide.
12. What does the author try to convey by telling the cooking story
A．Microplastics directly lead to diseases.
B．We consume microplastics unknowingly.
C．Nonstick pans are free of microplastics.
D．Cooking is to blame for making microplastics.
13. How do microplastics affect our body according to the new study
A．By slowing blood flow. B．By damaging our brain.
C．By thickening our lungs. D．By causing stomachache.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．Exposure to microplastics by tap water.
B．Proof of microplastics in our homes.
C．Presence of microplastics in packaging.
D．Tips for people to cut microplastics.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Plastic waste comes from microplastics on earth.
B．The amount of plastic waste is significantly large.
C．Relevant regulations are vital to contain plastic use.
D．Plastic makers and consumers are responsible for plastic waste.

第二节 读后续写
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。
The Araguaia River is one of the biggest rivers in Brazil. It is home to thousands of animals, including bright blue and yellow macaws. River dolphins swim and play in the water, and there are many different colored fish.
In one town, a 13-year-old boy named Rhenan would walk along the river every day. But looking at the river made him worry because there was rubbish everywhere. He saw plastic bottles, old clothing, and empty food packages. The water looked dark and ugly.
At school, Rhenan asked about the dirty river. “You wouldn’t want trash in your house,” said his teacher. “Think about the poor animals!” For days, Rhenan couldn’t stop thinking about the river. It didn’t seem right to him that this big, powerful river was filled with trash. “It’s hurting the animals in my area,” he thought. “And it’s also hurting the families who live here.”
Then Rhenan had an idea. The next morning, Rhenan talked to his mother about his plan for the river. He wanted to go around his town and ask for everyone’s help. Maybe if they all worked together, they could clean up the river! Rhenan’s mother loved his idea. “I believe the most important thing for you, Rhenan, is learning how to change things that you care about. That will stay with you forever,” she told him. She told him she would help him all along the way.
The next day, Rhenan went to the police department. Then he went to the Mayor’s office. He visited other schools, offices, and businesses. Soon he had a very big group of people who liked his idea!
Over an entire day, they all worked together to clean up the rubbish.

Looking at the clean river, Rhenan decided to stop this problem from happening again.

47. 读后续写范文
Over an entire day, they all worked together to clean up the rubbish. Everyone threw themselves into the work actively. Some picked up plastic bottles and old clothes, while others gathered waste paper and food packages. Though tired and sweaty, no one complained. As the sun set, the riverbank was totally clean. The water became clear again, and fish swam freely in the river. All the volunteers felt proud of what they had done.
Looking at the clean river, Rhenan decided to stop this problem from happening again. He gave speeches at schools to call on people to protect the river and never throw rubbish everywhere. He also set up regular river-cleaning activities every month. Gradually, protecting the river became a common habit of local people. The Araguaia River stayed clean and beautiful all year round.
