I’ve always enjoyed walking. However, never did I imagine I’d end up walking over 200 kilometers in 10 days, becoming a fan of walking holidays, and developing self-guided hiking routes in Portugal as part of my business.
I used to be someone who was content with an easy three-hour walk, but I became an experienced multi-day (多日的) hiker. My change began with a taste of the Portuguese Camino de Santiago, an ancient route through Portugal to Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in Spain.
Back in 2013, I did a guided one-day hike along one of the most beautiful sections of the Camino, north of Ponte de Lima. It’s also one of the most challenging so it was hard work, but the views from the top of Labruja Mountain made the climb worthwhile.
My guides were so crazy about the excitement of arriving at Santiago de Compostela Cathedral after the challenges of day after day on the Camino that I began to think I might want to give it a try.
Fast forward a few years, I set off from Barcelos with a friend of mine to follow the Portuguese Camino de Santiago.
Apart from suffering from back pain, I thought I was quite fit. However, nothing had prepared me for how I would feel at the end of each walking day. We were averaging about 20 kilometers per day. When we reached our hotel, I hardly had enough energy to take a shower or find food. I had expected plenty of sightseeing, but it turned out to be very little.
Quickly, I realized the takeaway of this unique travel experience: The Camino was all about making the most of the journey rather than the destination. For me, that was quite a change in thinking as I was usually all about getting to where I wanted to be as soon as possible so that I could start exploring. It was, perhaps, also my first step on the path towards mindfulness.
24. What was the author’s impression of the hike in 2013
A．The route was less challenging.
B．The mountaintop views were amazing.
C．The mountain climb was dangerous.
D．The time spent there was not worthwhile.
25. Why did the author want to follow the Portuguese Camino de Santiago
A．He was inspired by his guides.
B．He intended to please his friend.
C．He was impressed by kind locals.
D．He looked forward to keeping fit.
26. How did the author feel at the end of each walking day during the multi-day hike
A．Very scared.
B．Rather energetic.
C．Extremely tired.
D．Particularly calm.
27. What can be known about the author’s unique travel experience
A．It let him down in general.
B．It had a great impact on him.
C．It failed to teach him a lesson.
D．It lived up to his expectations.
C
Emojis (表情符号) feel harmless in daily chats, but inside workplace messages, they carry more weight than most people expect. A study from the University of Ottawa takes a closer look at this hidden effect.
Researchers created simple workplace messages. Some were positive, some neutral, and some negative. Then they added emojis or left them out completely. Participants read these messages and judged the sender. A sentence like “We have great new office chairs” could appear with a smiley face, an angry face, or no emoji at all.
The researchers found that people paid close attention to both the words and the emoji. Even a small mismatch between the two stood out immediately. Surprisingly, the safest option was the simplest one. Readers saw the sender of messages without emojis as capable (有能力的) and serious. Positive emojis did not hurt much, but they did not help much, either. If the message already sounded good, adding a smiley face did not improve the impression. Negative emojis, however, told a different story. One angry face was enough to drag down how capable the sender appeared. It colored the entire message, even if the sentence itself sounded fine.
The study found that people reacted strongly to mixed signals. Imagine reading a complaint with a cheerful emoji at the end. This mismatch creates confusion and that uncertainty weakens trust. Over time, it can even affect teamwork. Even when the emoji matches the message, negative ones still leaves a bad impression.
So, should you stop using emojis at work Not necessarily. But you should think before using them. A simple, clear message often does the job best. Positive emojis can work in light, friendly conversations. Negative emojis are risky and usually not worth it. Most importantly, focus on what you want to say. If your message is strong, it does not need decoration. If your message is unclear, an emoji will not fix it.
28. What were the participants asked to do in the study
A．Interact with the senders.
B．Create new messages.
C．Add some emojis.
D．Make judgements.
29. According to the study, messages without emojis are probably considered ________.
A．boring
B．less serious
C．professional
D．more unacceptable
30. Which of the following does the author agree with
A．Your message matters most.
B．You should avoid using any emoji.
C．Negative emojis are always valuable.
D．Strong messages require decoration.
31. What is the best title for the text
A．Should You Use Emojis at Work
B．Why Should Your Messages Be Clear
C．The Hidden Danger of Workplace Emojis
D．How to Improve Your Professional Image

Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the world. Now, however, a new survey shows that the part most people throw out — the peel (皮) — might just be a powerhouse fertilizer (肥料). The survey study led by Nokuthula Khanyile of the University of Mpumalanga in South Africa looked at over 120 studies on the use of banana peels as fertilizer and found that when used as fertilizer, this waste could benefit all sorts of plants.
Bananas are high in three main nutrients (营养物) that plants require to grow well — potassium, nitrogen, and magnesium. In fact, those are the main elements contained in commercial fertilizer used by farmers. So it is no surprise that the survey showed that fertilizers based on bananas resulted in plants that were taller and leafier than those grown without banana peel fertilizers.
The various studies that were surveyed explored how to use banana peels as fertilizer. In some studies, the peels were turned into a mixture of banana peels and a few additives. In other studies, the peels were sun-dried and then ground into a powder that could be mixed in with soil. In another study, the peels were left to break down naturally with coffee grounds, which makes it possible for nutrients to be released into the ground at a slightly slower rate.
Modern farming relies heavily on commercial fertilizers which are made in factories that run on coal, oil, or gas. In addition, nitrogen run-off from these fertilizers pollutes water and creates algae blooms (藻华) which are detrimental to other living things in water.
Banana peels are a natural waste product. They do not need coal, oil, or gas to be produced, and they release nutrients at a much slower rate than commercial fertilizers, which probably means less run-off and less pollution. Anyway you look at it, using banana peel-based fertilizers is a win-win.
32. Why can banana peels benefit plants
A．They remove unnecessary leaves.
B．They can protect plants from sunburn.
C．They contain elements helping plants growth.
D．They release nutrients faster than commercial fertilizers.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Various nutrients found in banana peels.
B．Ways to turn banana peels into fertilizer.
C．How to make use of banana peel fertilizers.
D．The process of carrying out the survey study.
34. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Harmful.
B．Similar.
C．Adaptable.
D．Significant.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To offer a solution to water pollution.
B．To prove the value of natural fertilizers.
C．To explore the health benefits of a fruit.
D．To call for the reuse of a kind of waste.

七、书信写作范文
Dear fellow students,
Recently I’ve noticed many ornamental flowers in our school are picked randomly by some students. The flower beds look messy, and the beautiful scenery we enjoy is destroyed.
These flowers are planted for all of us to appreciate. Picking them spoils the environment and sets a bad example. I hope everyone can respect public plants and admire them with eyes instead of hands. Let’s work together to keep our campus beautiful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
