Traveling by train can be a romantic way to see the world. Since it was one of the original forms of transportation worldwide, here are some fantastic train trips to add to your travel list.
Qinghai-Xizang Railway
Where it goes: Xining to Lhasa
Why not start with the world's highest train ride The Qinghai-Xizang Railway climbs to great heights of over 16,000 feet as it snakes through the Himalayas. The wonderful 1215-mile journey only makes seven stops.
Eurostar
Where it goes: London to/from Paris
Eurostar is a popular way for folks to get from London to Paris, thanks to its quick travel time, but it has another attraction that makes it a great train trip. For 20 minutes, you will actually be riding 150 feet underwater through the famous English Channel.
Trans-Siberian Railway
Where it goes: Moscow to Vladivostok
The Trans-Siberian Railway is another historically famous railroad that should be on your travel list. It is also the world's longest continuous railway. Along the way, you will pass through eight time zones and have plenty of time to see the beautiful Russian countryside.
Glacier Express
Where it goes: St. Moritz to Zermatt in the Swiss Alps

It is often said that the high school period is one of the most important stages that an individual will experience, and is often seen as a critical and life-shaping time. During this period, people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their lives. Volunteering at St. Clare’s Hospital has helped me form a positive experience during my high school years.
When I first began volunteering, I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone. At the beginning of my volunteering experience, I was rather timid and not very outgoing. Fortunately, as time went by, I discovered how to introduce myself to new volunteers, to go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and to extend the hand of friendship to others. I learned to respect diversity, which turned out to be particularly helpful in the real world.
My volunteering experience at the hospital has led me to believe that my love and sympathy for the disabled can brighten up the day of those lonely patients. There is another valuable lesson I have learned from the volunteer program: The significance of “service” involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the harmony of the community. Now I feel content each time I finish my shift. This positive feeling has motivated me to continue carrying on this worthwhile cause, and has become something that I view as having irreplaceable importance to my life.
It’s a great pity that many teenagers in my generation have not had experiences similar to mine and therefore missed out on some of the important lessons that can be learned in life. Knowing that I made a positive impact on someone is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame. And, to the best of my ability, I will follow this path of service throughout my life.

Anxiety isn’t funny. When we feel worried or afraid, the last thing we feel like doing is laughing. Finding humor can be difficult when we live with anxiety. However, if we begin to look for humor, we can find that laughter can be a great coping skill.
Researchers have discovered that laughter has many benefits. Among the ways laughter lifts us by increasing our overall well-being and boosting our mental health. When we live with anxiety, our stress hormones pulse through us. This makes us feel tense and anxious. Although there are no quick solutions for anything in our life, a good laugh can instantly begin to reduce these harmful stress hormones that are mixed with anxiety. Laughter gets to work immediately, and a regular “diet” of laughter continues to decrease anxiety over time.
The act of laughing is similar to deep breathing in its ability to increase the oxygen in our bined with reducing stress hormones, the increased oxygen in our bodies helps lead to muscle relaxation. All of this helps reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety.
Laughing feels good. It’s addictive and we can keep wanting more. When we laugh regularly, our anxiety begins to decrease. When we have humor and give ourselves a chance to laugh a little bit for even a short while each day, we distract our focus. Rather than seeing the world within or without as a worrying place, we start to see it as a good, safe, and perhaps even fun place. We start to see beyond the anxiety. Sure, the anxiety lingers (徘徊) for a while, but every time we laugh, we can reduce it.
Introducing intentional laughter into our life decreases our stress hormones. Breathing deeply during the act of laughing relaxes muscles. Thinking about something funny shifts our focus to new things. Having humor regularly helps our outlook become more positive.
8. What can make us feel nervous
A．Pulsing stress hormones.
B．Lacking sense of humour.
C．Tiredness and sleepiness.
D．Feeling eager to get something.
9. Why is deep breathing mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．To compare it with taking exercice.
B．To suggest people do it more often.
C．To show its importance to the body.
D．To explain how laughing reduces anxiety.
10. What does Paragraph 4 focus on in terms of laughter
A．Its functions.
B．Its concept.
C．Its causes.
D．Its disadvantages.
11. Who might need to read the text most
A．A person who has developed a bad habit.
B．A person who tends to feel nervous easily.
C．A person who is fond of humorous stories.
D．A person who can’t get along well with others.
D
Thanks to technology development, healthcare services are more accessible than ever. Hospitals have committed to digitally enabled care going mainstream and more health services have gone online than ever before. But are older people who don’t use the Internet being left behind
A study by Lancaster University found that lots of older people still avoid online life completely or use the Internet only on occasion. There are various reasons why older people don’t use the Internet. For many, a lack of confidence in their own ability to use technology raised fears about security, particularly with online banking.
Whatever the reasons are, one of the biggest concerns about an off line older generation is the likelihood that online. Madeleine Starr MBE, director of business development and innovation at Carers UK, said, “Though many of us use technology in our everyday lives, seven out of ten people don’t yet think of technology when it comes to caring. So, many are not yet realizing the benefits of this technology. Accessing appointments, ordering prescriptions (处方) or having consultations online can all help reduce visits to doctors and unplanned hospital visits.”
In an aging society, the Internet can make a huge amount of difference to older people requiring a bit of extra support and those caring for them. “Advice from specialist websites or symptom checkers is great for those who are unsure if their symptoms are cause for concern or find it difficult to get to a doctor’s appointment. Technology is making it easier to offer remote care and support for older people, helping them remain independent. The information on the Internet can prevent older people from taking their health into their own hands,” adds Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK.
However, services need to remain accessible to those who aren’t online. While it’s fine to support older people getting online, those who choose not to or cannot do so, for whatever reason, should not be treated like second-class citizens. They must still be able to access services in other ways that suit them.
12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1
A．To raise a topic to be discussed.
B．To list some important facts.
C．To express the main idea of the text.
D．To introduce new advances in science.
13. What might be the big concern about off line older people
A．They will suffer from terrible loneliness.
B．They will face risks from online banking.
C．They will fail to benefit from advanced online healthcare.
D．They will underestimate the role of modern technology in healthcare.
14. Why does the author mention Caroline Abrahams’ words in paragraph 4
A．To stress the popularity of the Internet.
B．To reveal technology is developing very fast now.
C．To indicate the big challenges an aging society faces.
D．To show the Internet is of great importance to older people.
15. What is the message the author wants to convey in the last paragraph
A．Health services should get support from professionals.
B．Older people should be encouraged to place their health first.
C．Older people should receive some training in using the Internet.
D．Health services should be offered in ways that suit different people.

Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 16 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 17 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
18 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 19
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 20 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A．They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B．here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C．Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D．So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E．How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F．Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G．However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.

As the sun set, we looked at the cleaned bank, 31 but satisfied. The project taught me that small actions, when 32, can create big change. The river, once 33, now sparkled under the evening light.
I realized environmental protection isn’t just for scientists — it’s for 34. Since then, I’ve been more mindful of my own waste, 35 to set an example for others.

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。
Due to my unhealthy eating habits, I became fatter and fatter after college. My good friend Anoush was a running enthusiast. So he advised me to lose weight by running and he promised to accompany me to run.
Seven years later, I got more serious about running. And I dreamed to participate in Boston Marathon. Anoush wanted to attend the same marathon with me. Every day we spared our time to practise hard, during which time Anoush gave me much professional guidance and encouragement. And then one day, both of us qualified for the 2017 Boston Marathon. We were excited but unfortunately, several weeks before the marathon, we had a serious quarrel. I didn’t talk with him anymore.
The day came. Anoush and I stood at the starting line. He said, “Good luck! You will certainly finish the marathon.” Hearing his words, I looked at him, saying, “It’s none of your business.”
Then we started running. Soon, I passed Anoush.
But I struggled in the heat starting at mile 16. I felt most of my oxygen went to the muscle in my legs and less in my brain, which made me feel a bit light-headed and dizzy (眩晕的). I continually encouraged myself, “Just get to the finish, run bold, and you will win.” But all phrases that I say to myself didn’t work.
Gradually I felt out of breath and had to slow down my pace. As I ran down the famous last stretch of the Boston Marathon on Boylston Street, I fell down on the ground.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Just then, I felt that someone picked me up.

Dear Tom,
I’m writing to share a wonderful activity held in our school last weekend. All Senior Two students took part in a group chorus.
The activity was held to enrich our school life and strengthen our team spirit. We spent a week practising carefully after class. On that day, we sang classic positive songs together in the school hall, dressed uniformly. The harmonious singing won warm applause from teachers.
The experience brought me great joy. I truly realized the power of teamwork and felt more united with my classmates.
Yours,
Li Hua

Just then, I felt that someone picked me up. It was Anoush. Seeing me exhausted and pale, he asked anxiously about my condition. Without hesitation, he supported me firmly and encouraged me to keep going. I felt extremely ashamed of my rude attitude towards him earlier. I wanted to apologize but words failed me. He smiled softly and told me that nothing was more important than my safety and finishing the race. Step by step, he accompanied me and adjusted my pace to help me recover.
When Anoush and I crossed the finish line, the audience at present applauded. They cheered for our perseverance and precious friendship. I turned to my best friend and made a sincere apology for my previous quarrel and rudeness. Anoush patted my shoulder and said he had never blamed me at all. This unforgettable experience taught me that true friendship can withstand conflicts and hardships. From then on, we resumed our running practice and cherished our friendship more than ever.
