A
With dramatic peaks and splendid lakes, Yellowstone National Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. Multicolored pools circle around hot springs; thick forests weave past expansive grasslands.
Best Months to Visit
The best times to visit are from late April to May and September through early October. These shoulder months offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and few to no road closures. July and August are the most popular months because kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside. However, this park is no stranger to cold. Temperatures can drop into the 30s during summer in higher elevation areas. In winter, expect temperatures from below zero to the high 20s. Don’t let that stop you: nothing beats seeing steam rise from beneath snow and ice.
How to Save Money
- Bring your own bed: campgrounds are much less costly than hotels, and many campgrounds come equipped with showers, toilets and laundry.
- Skip summer because hotel rates rise with the number of tourists.
- Do your own cooking: sit-down restaurants can take a bite out of your savings.
What You Need to Know
- Beware of bears: make noise when hiking, bring bear spray, and secure food overnight.
- Camping outside designated areas requires a permit from visitor centers.
- Getting around: The best way to get around is by car; there is no public transportation. Rent a car at nearby airports. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of year and day.
Entrance Fee
Entry to Yellowstone costs $20 per person for foot or bike, $30 for motorcycle, $35 for car.
All park passes are valid for seven consecutive days.
21. Which month is Yellowstone’s peak tourist time
A．April. B．July. C．September. D．December.
22. What are visitors advised to do in Yellowstone
A．Stay at campgrounds. B．Keep silent while hiking.
C．Take public transportation. D．Dine at sit-down restaurants.
23. How much does a family of four pay for a 9-day trip on foot
A．$80. B．$140. C．$160. D．$180.
B
In India, when an elephant tramples crops or a leopard attacks livestock, or worse, a person, the fallout can be disastrous for families. It can also create the human-nature tension and ruin the harmony with each other that is crucial for protecting wildlife. This is why conservation biologist Krithi Karanth has spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside some of the world’s most dangerous animals. For that, she’s been named the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, an award for contributions to research and conservation among National Geographic Explorers.
As CEO of the Bengaluru-based Centre for Wildlife Studies, Karanth faces a paradox that India, with 1.4 billion people, is also a stronghold for wildlife, home to approximately half of Asia’s elephants and roughly three-quarters of the planet’s wild tigers. Conserving those and other species, she says, requires not just saving habitat but also winning hearts and minds.
Karanth has launched Wild Seve, a platform for users to request government compensation when wildlife damages crops, livestock, or property. With a simple toll-free call, victims ask the program’s trained field staff to document losses, then file claims and track cases as they’re processed by government officials. Wild Seve has helped some 17,000 families make up for economic losses, and reduced the likelihood of hunting as punishment.
Reducing the bad outcomes is far from enough. She has also created a curriculum for schoolkids living near wildlife reserves, called Wild Shaale, designed to inspire curiosity about and respect for animals. Through games, storytelling, and art, the program explores why conflicts occur and how to respond safely. Wild Shaale is now taught in some 1,600 schools across India.
“Krithi has sparked a movement of hope across India,” says National Geographic Society CEO Jill Tiefenthaler. “By combining science, education, and community partnership, she is redefining how people live in harmony with nature, and what conservation can achieve for communities and young people.”
Next, Karanth wants to apply her ideas outside India, cultivating an international crop of environmental stewards — or even just empathetic neighbors. “Having a set of people who at least tolerate the presence of a large animal,” she says, “is a massive victory.”
24. What made Karanth the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year
A．Stopping elephants destroying crops. B．Protecting people from dangerous animals.
C．Participating in saving wildlife personally.
D．Improving the bond between man and wildlife.
25. What paradox is Karanth faced with
A．Indians dislike living alongside wild animals.
B．India is crowded with too many wild species.
C．India lacks sufficient resources for its people.
D．Indians and animals compete for living space.
26. Why did Karanth launch these conservation programs across India
A．To help people co-exist with wild animals.
B．To free kids from the threat from animals.
C．To inform farmers of the loss-claiming process.
D．To convince people to establish wildlife reserves.
27. What is the key to success in Karanth’s conservation work
A．Having a global vision. B．Reforming education policies.
C．Earning people’s support. D．Prioritizing human interests.
C
The Amazon rainforest may be shifting from a massive carbon sink to a net carbon emitter. Since 1985, human activity has destroyed more than 10% of the Amazon's forest cover, releasing substantial amounts of CO previously sequestered in trees and soil. Deforestation through fires releases 1.5 billion tonnes of CO annually, driving climate warming. Vegetation changes alter atmospheric composition, surface reflectivity, and cloud properties, which can either intensify or slow warming. The replacement of dark forest cover by brighter grasses increases surface reflectivity, leading to more reflection of solar radiation, though weaker than in snow-covered regions. Among these, how clouds respond to forest loss remains the least understood.
Previous studies on cloud cover yielded conflicting results: some reported reductions after deforestation, while others reported increases. This difference arises from strong regional and seasonal variations. Notably, prior studies examined long-term associations rather than immediate deforestation impacts such as fire aerosols. To resolve this, Dror and Feingold analyzed two decades of MODIS and CERES satellite data, comparing deforested regions with nearby undisturbed areas. Their findings reveal that cloud cover rises systematically with deforestation year-round, peaking during the dry season. In areas where forest loss surpassed 50%, cloud cover grew by 3.1% on average, reaching 5.1% in the most heavily cleared zones.
Moreover, cloud tops sat at lower altitudes over cleared lands. These low-altitude clouds enhanced reflection of incoming solar radiation rather than trapping outgoing heat. The resulting cooling effect from this cloud increase proved at least twice as strong as that from surface reflectivity changes alone.
While increased cloudiness thus reduces part of the CO -driven warming, other factors like non-CO greenhouse gases and aerosols such as methane and ozone remain uncertain, with either warming or cooling effects through complex pathways. Current evidence suggests that even combined biophysical effects cannot fully cancel out the warming. Therefore, maintaining and restoring Amazon forest cover remains essential for climate protection.
28. What does the underlined word “sequestered” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A．Stored. B．Produced. C．Released. D．Transformed.
29. How did Dror and Feingold carry out their study
A．By measuring CO levels in heavily cleared forest areas.
B．By conducting ground surveys of vegetation in Amazon areas.
C．By analyzing seasonal rainfall patterns across Amazon regions.
D．By comparing satellite data between cleared and undisturbed areas.
30. What accounts for the stronger cooling effect over cleared lands
A．Greater ground reflectivity from grasses.
B．More trapping of outgoing heat by low clouds.
C．Higher altitude of cloud tops over cleared lands.
D．Lower cloud tops reflecting more solar radiation.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Cloud feedback alone stabilizes climate.
B．Future drying will enhance cloud cooling.
C．Biophysical factors lead to ineffective results.
D．Forest restoration is essential despite partial cooling.
D
At 56, I am beginning to feel the physical effects of ageing. I won’t bore you with the details, but none of them is great fun. Yet researchers now suggest that one of the most damaging effects may not be physical at all. It may begin with how people come to see ageing itself.
They call it internalised ageism: the tendency to hold negative expectations about one’s own health simply because of age. When older adults are repeatedly assumed to be slow, forgetful, or incapable of learning, such ideas do not always stay outside them. Over time, they can become part of how people see themselves. Once that happens, behaviour may change: a person who expects decline may exercise less, pay less attention to diet, and treat every sign of weakness as proof of something worse.
Research shows that internalised ageism can affect how people age. A Harvard study found that older adults with the most positive views showed slower physical and mental decline and kept healthier habits than those with the most negative views. Crucially, researchers ruled out the simpler explanation — poor health did not simply cause pessimism. Instead, a person’s attitude at the start predicted how their health changed over time. Becca Levy at Yale School of Public Health found further support: among people over 65 with mild memory problems, those with a positive outlook were far more likely to recover. Her research also shows that such negative thinking generates over three million extra disease cases in the US each year, at a combined cost of over eleven billion dollars.
Yet internalised ageism doesn’t just come from within. Negative images of older people spread through the media, advertising, and even the advice of medical professionals. Because these messages appear so naturally in daily life, they are seldom questioned. By the time most people notice them, they have already taken root.
A partial answer exists. Research shows attitudes towards ageing can shift through positive messages. But changing deeply held beliefs takes generations, as the long struggle against racial prejudice shows. I’m not going to let it get me down. Instead, I’m going to try to make my own ageing process great fun.
32. What is the root cause of internalized ageism
A．Less attention to exercise and diet. B．Gradual loss of learning capability.
C．Constant fear over physical decline. D．Repeated exposure to age prejudice.
33. What can we learn about ageing from the Harvard study
A．Attitude affects the rate of ageing. B．Pessimism results from faster ageing.
C．Mindset alone defines ageing process. D．Healthy habits promise slower ageing.
34. Why is internalised ageism hard to change
A．Its roots take time to appear. B．It is backed by professionals.
C．Its sources are widely varied. D．It is established as a social norm.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Age Prejudice: A Long Battle for Society
B．The Elderly: A Group Misunderstood by Society
C．Social Messages: A Silent Force Behind Age Bias
D．Negative Expectations: A Hidden Threat in Ageing
七选五
Within the scientific community, dreams are still something of a mystery. However, improvements in brain imaging and recent physiological studies have brought us one step closer to answering the question of why some people remember their dreams more than others. ___36___
Gender
___37___ Researchers aren’t exactly sure why, but Barrett says it could be a biological or hormonal difference. Barrett notes that differences between men and women in regard to dream recall are “modest” and that there are greater differences within each gender than between the genders.
Age
As we get older, it often gets harder to recall our dreams. Your ability to remember dreams improves in late childhood and adolescence, and tends to peak in your twenties, Barrett says ___38___ However, there are exceptions, and people sometimes experience the opposite.
Amount of sleep
The amount of sleep one gets is one of the most important factors. ___39___ However, those rapid eye movement periods get longer throughout the night, meaning that you’re doing the most dreaming toward the morning generally right before you wake up.
Brain activity
Thanks to brain imaging, scientists now have a better idea of which parts of the brain are associated with dreaming. A part of the brain that processes information and emotions is more active in people who remember their dreams more often. ___40___ In turn, this may promote something called intrasleep wakefulness.
If you don’t remember anything, Barrett says it's still helpful to assess how you feel when you first awaken. “Sometimes if you just stay with whatever emotion you woke up with,” she says, “a dream will come rushing back.”
A．Dr. Deirdre Barrett shared a few of the factors.
B．Women, on average, recall more dreams than men.
C．So what can you do to help you remember your dreams
D．This region may help people pay more attention to external cues.
E．Similarly, the “high recallers” tend to exhibit more brain activity.
F．After that point, people often experience a gradual drop-off in dream recall.
G．People dream every 90 minutes during the rapid eye movement sleep cycle.

三、完形填空
Holly Smith was a 19-year-old girl when she boarded a plane at New York’s Airport. She was full of ___41___ for her plan to spend a year studying abroad in Nancy, a city in northeast France. But within a few weeks of ___42___, her enthusiasm turned into a strong sense of loneliness.
___43___ daily life in a new country was tougher than she had expected, especially when it came to ___44___. “I could understand a little, but my poor accent made it hard for others to ___45___ me,” Holly recalled. The constant struggle to be ___46___ left her emotionally exhausted — until a care ___47___ from her mom became her beacon of light.
When she went to the post office to ___48___ it, unfortunately, the ___49___ spoke no English and couldn’t decode her broken French. Just as she was close to tears, a French woman named Chantal ___50___. She helped Holly communicate, and soon the package was in Holly’s hands. Chantal later invited her to weekly dinners, a warm place where Holly could practice French without ___51___.
Decades later, they still keep in ___52___. Chantal’s small ___53___ of kindness became an inspiration for Holly, who now makes it a ___54___ to lift up strangers in need, proving that a little warmth can turn a ___55___ land into a home.

67. 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。
My name is Clara. I was the only one in my class who didn’t sign up for the school’s Creative Project Day. While my deskmate Lily stayed up late making her hand-painted storybook and the boys in the back row argued over their DIY craft models, I just sat quietly in my seat, staring at the blank sign-up sheet.
Hands-on projects weren’t my thing. Last year, I tried making a paper volcano for Creative Project Day, but it collapsed and spilled paint everywhere. That failed creative attempt made me even more hesitant to sign up this year.
Then Ms. Lee, our science teacher, stopped by my desk. “Clara, the Creative Project Day is all about curiosity, not perfection,” she said softly. “What’s something you love, something you could talk about for hours ”
I thought for a moment. “Books,” I said quietly, unsure of myself. “I love stories.” Ms. Lee smiled. “Then why not turn that into a project ” That night, I lay awake, thinking.
I loved the school library, but I’d noticed that many younger students didn’t visit it often. They said the books were “boring” or “too hard”. What if I could change that I began to form a plan for the Creative Project Day — creating a Story Corner in the library, with picture books and short stories, and even recording audio versions of some stories for kids who struggled to read.
I felt a brief thrill run through me — until I thought about all the work ahead. These tasks, which were key to my project, confused me: I had no idea how to organize the corner in a neat and orderly way, how to use simple tech tools to record audio, or even how to ask Ms. Henderson, the librarian, for permission. Worse, what if no one cared What if I failed again, just like with the volcano But I finally decided to give it a try.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, I found myself standing outside the library, hesitating.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Creative Project Day, my Story Corner became a huge success.

Paragraph1:
The next morning, I found myself standing outside the library, hesitating. I took a deep breath and walked in to talk to Ms. Henderson. To my surprise, she thought my Story Corner idea was wonderful and offered lots of help. She gave me unused picture books, lent recording equipment and told me how to arrange the corner neatly. We spent several days sorting books and recording gentle story audios together, which gradually swept away my fear of failure.
Paragraph2:
On Creative Project Day, my Story Corner became a huge success. Lots of younger pupils crowded around, listening to recorded stories and picking their favorite books. Many teachers praised my creative and warm project. I realized creativity does not require perfect skills but sincere love for what you do. This experience built up my confidence and I no longer feared trying new things.
