With more than a thousand small islands scattered across 500 miles in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a dream getaway. This 4-day trip will introduce you to the rich Maldivian culture and the beautiful scenery of the country.
Day 1 Arrival in Male
Our guide will meet you at Velana International Airport and then show you around the city. As a seaside city, Male is rich in fish resources on which many people make a living. Accordingly, our first stops are the fish market and nearby markets to know the lifestyle of the local people. After lunch, we will set out for Guraidhoo. It will take us about 40 minutes to get there by speedboat, and you may see dolphins on the way.
Day 2 Guraidhoo
After breakfast, it is time to go diving to discover beautiful house reefs (礁) at Guraidhoo. Don’t be nervous if you are inexperienced because we will provide free, good diving equipment and our tour guide will give each tourist accessible safety training and will make sure your equipment works well underwater.
Day 3 Guraidhoo
After a Guraidhoo-style breakfast, we will take a speedboat to two very attractive coral (珊瑚) reefs in the Maldives. Put on your diving equipment and we will continue to explore the mysterious sea world. The whole afternoon is for you to explore Guraidhoo as you like. You could take a walk along the coastline, enjoy sunbathing, or take some memorial photos against the stunning sea view. Also, you can make use of the free time to buy some souvenirs for your friends or families.
Day 4 Departure from Male
It’s time to say goodbye to our 4-day tour in the Maldives. After having breakfast at the hotel, you will be transported to Velana International Airport by speedboat at around 10:00 am for your departure flight. We wish you a safe journey back home.

When her mother, Pilar Roig, ran into trouble with a restoration (修复) project in Spain, Pilar Bosch found an old paper on the application of bacteria in art restoration. As a microbiologist, she was only searching for a subject for her PhD thesis, but her mother’s trouble in restoring 18th-century paintings in Santos Juanes Church made her take a closer look. After she found the lead that could benefit her mother’s work and a historical and cultural landmark, science and art joined forces in a 4-million-euro initiative to apply this technique.
Normally, restorers evaluate the techniques and materials used to make artworks so an appropriate solvent mixture can be made to remove the outer layer without damaging the irreplaceable artworks. In most cases, a coat of varnish (清漆) is applied to the surface to separate the layers on top of the paintings and to prevent any problems with future restorations. However, in this case, Roig had an additional and stubborn coat to remove: glue. A poor effort in the 1960s damaged the priceless artworks even further, leaving behind a layer of glue made of animal collagen.
The new approach involved feeding bacteria samples of the glue that became a difficulty for restorers to get through. Mixing the bacteria into an algae gel, restorers applied that solution to the surface. Like magic, the bacteria broke down the glue with the power of the self-made enzymes (酶). After three hours, it effectively removed the annoying animal collagen glue. The bacteria method turned out to be much better than conventional practices, which Roig described as horrible. “In the past, we used to work in a horrible manual way, with warm water and sponges that took too much time and damaged the paintings,” Roig stated.
Bosch has brought this conservation technique to a variety of projects throughout Europe, thus advancing the field itself. Now, the microbiologist intends to apply the bacteria gel to remove troublesome graffiti from walls, a challenging problem.
4. What led Bosch to look into the old paper further
A．Her deep interest in art restoration.
B．Her problem in writing the PhD thesis.
C．Her mother’s desire to research into bacteria.
D．Her mother’s trouble in restoring the paintings.
5. What challenge did Roig face in the restoration project
A．There was a complete shortage of funds.
B．There was a serious lack of skillful restorers.
C．The paintings were covered with glue hard to remove.
D．The materials used to make the artworks were unknown.
6. How did the new approach differ from the traditional ones
A．It included chemical reactions.
B．It used varnish to remove glue.
C．It was more tiring but more effective.
D．It took more time but caused less harm.
7. What is Bosch’s current goal according to the text
A．To actively market the bacteria gel.
B．To restore valuable ancient paintings.
C．To clear annoying drawings on walls.
D．To become an outstanding graffiti artist.
C
Have you noticed 16 degrees Celsius doesn’t feel the exact same in fall as it does in spring and summer I wondered why, so I went to meteorologists (气象学家) for help.
“Spring and summer are wetter, so sweat doesn’t evaporate (蒸发) as easily, making us feel warmer,” explains Cheryl Nelson, a meteorologist based in Roanoke, Virginia. “Spring’s warmer ground radiates heat into the air, and that makes you feel a little warmer. In fall, the ground is cold, which gives the air a colder feel.”
The angle of the sun in spring is different from that in fall:Because of the tilt of the earth, the sun is higher overhead and at a sharper angle. A higher sun delivers more direct sunlight than you’d get when the sun is lower. In fall, on the other hand, the sun is lower, and more of the sunlight is reflected, reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the ground and air, explains Erica Lopez, a bilingual meteorologist based in Jacksonville, Florida. “Besides, at the same temperature, the thinner air can feel colder, especially if it’s dry and the sun isn’t strong in fall,” says Lopez.
“Fall is generally windier than spring and summer, making the weather a bit colder. Stronger winds will blow heat away from our skin faster, which makes us feel a chill,” says Jonathan Erdman, a senior digital meteorologist at . “That’s the rationale behind wind chill.”
Your sense of temperature can be associated with your metabolism, your body composition and where you live. Erdman has firsthand experience with this phenomenon: After growing up in Wisconsin and being perfectly fine with cold days, he settled in Atlanta for 16 years and felt every temperature dip. “While in the South, I definitely became less cold-tolerant (耐寒的). After moving back to Wisconsin nine years ago, I regained my cold tolerance,” he says.
So, in a way, we not only have a body clock but also a body thermostat. It’s just another one of those fun science facts that confirms something you’ve long suspected!
8. What can we know from Nelson’s words
A．Feelings of temperature are related to the ground.
B．Sense of temperature varies from person to person.
C．People prefer spring to summer due to temperature.
D．Sweat evaporates more easily in summer than in fall.
9. Why can the same temperature feel warmer in spring than in fall in Lopez’s view
A．It is often windier in fall.
B．There is more rain in fall.
C．The sun is higher in spring.
D．The air is thinner in spring.
10. What does the underlined word “rationale” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Result. B．Belief.
C．Intention. D．Reason.
11. What does the author intend to show by mentioning Erdman’s experience
A．Wisconsin is warm even in winter.
B．People in Atlanta are cold-tolerant.
C．Age has an effect on our cold tolerance.
D．Our body gets used to our local climate.

Gliese 229B was first detected in 1995 by researchers at the Institute’s Palomar Observatory. They found methane (甲烷) in its atmosphere, typical of giant planets but not stars. This marked the first confirmed detection of brown dwarfs (棕矮星) — objects between planets and stars. Since then, hundreds of papers have been written about Gliese 229B.
But a pressing mystery has persisted about this object: It is too dim (暗淡的) for its mass. Brown dwarfs are lighter than stars, and heavier than giant planets like Jupiter. And while astronomers measured the mass of Gliese 229B to be about 70 times that of Jupiter, an object of that weight should shine more brightly than what the telescopes observed.
A Caltech-led team has now solved this mystery: Gliese 229B is actually two brown dwarfs, each about 38 and 34 times Jupiter’s mass. “Gliese 229B is the main example of a brown dwarf,” says Jerry W Xuan, lead author of the new study reporting the findings in the journal Nature. “And now we know it’s not one but two.” To resolve Gliese 229B into two objects, the team used an interferometer that combines light from four different telescopes to spatially resolve the body into two and another instrument to detect distinct spectral signatures from the two objects.
The observations showed the brown dwarf duo, now called Gliese 229Ba and Gliese 229Bb, orbit each other every 12 days with a separation only 16 times larger than the distance between the Earth and the Moon. Together, the pair orbit an M-dwarf star every 250 years. “It is so nice to see that almost 30 years later, there has been a new development,” says Kulkarni, who is not an author on the current paper.
The discovery suggests that similar brown dwarf or exoplanet pairs might be waiting to be found. An exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star other than our Sun. “Finding out that Gliese 229B is a pair not only explains its brightness but also helps us better understand brown dwarfs,” says Mawet, a senior research scientist.
12. Why was Gliese 229B considered mysterious
A．It was too bright for its small size.
B．Its brightness didn’t match its mass.
C．Its atmosphere didn’t contain methane.
D．It was difficult to observe for its distance.
13. What has the Caltech-led team discovered about Gliese 229B
A．It has the same mass as stars.
B．It is a large planet like Jupiter.
C．It is made up of two brown dwarfs.
D．It orbits an exoplanet every 250 years.
14. What is Kulkarni’s attitude towards the study
A．Unclear. B．Positive.
C．Doubtful. D．Objective.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the discovery
A．Its result. B．Its process.
C．Its prediction. D．Its significance.

Providing feedback (反馈) is an important part of personal and career development. ____16____. One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich approach.
If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich approach can be beneficial. ____17____. Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager, for example, starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue his/her good work. ____18____. This feedback should be specific and relevant to the situation. The manager finally ends the communication with positive feedback.
The feedback sandwich approach is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism (批评). By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. ____19____. Additionally, it enables the meeting or interaction to end on a positive note.
____20____. It may sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugar-coating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative, but should be delivered to encourage good performance.
A．Therefore, it may not work for every situation
B．It’s necessary to be aware of its limitations, though
C．The approach may lead to disharmonious relationships
D．Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback
E．Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging
F．Then they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve
G．It involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback

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。
The morning of March 6 was dim and cold. I listened to the radio on my drive. Suddenly, an SUV bumped into my car.
By the end of the day, I learned my neck had broken in four places. Over the next few days in the hospital, I began to get a clearer picture of what had happened. A local high school student, rushing to class, had crossed the centre line and hit me head-on. I also heard he was very, very upset by what had happened. I felt bad that he had such a burden to bear at such a young age. I spent a lot of time just thinking about the teenage boy. I wondered how he was doing, both physically and emotionally.
Fourteen months after the accident, I was grocery shopping when a woman approached me and asked if I was Suzanne. She introduced herself, and I realized it was the young boy’s mother. I appreciated learning how he was doing. He had also been injured, breaking his wrist, and had needed counselling to help with the emotional trauma (创伤) of causing the accident. He was now in college and had anxiety driving to class. I could certainly empathize (共情) with the difficulty of getting back behind the wheel of a car.
Secretly, I wished I could talk to him, hoping he had moved on with his life and wasn’t distressed any longer. Seven months later, it was time for my daughter’s Christmas band concert at the high school. At the end of the concert, the choir director invited alumni (校友) of the high school choir who were in attendance to come up on stage and sing one last song with the current members. One young man in a white hoodie and ball cap ran up and stood on the stage. Suddenly, I realized that it was him, the driver.
The concert ended. I squeezed my way through the crowd and up the stage stairs until I was next to him. He was smiling, happy, and joking around with his friends.
“Hi, I’m Suzanne,” I said.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)按如下格式在相应位置作答。
He was completely shocked and knew who I was.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We both were relieved and I patted his shoulder, turned, and ran down the stairs.

A Memorable Visit to a Handicraft Workshop
Last Saturday, our class paid a visit to the local traditional handicraft workshop.
Craftsmen showed us how to make paper-cutting and clay works step by step. We tried making small handicrafts ourselves under their patient guidance. I made a lovely paper-cut rabbit and took it home as a souvenir.
This visit impressed me deeply. I realized traditional handicrafts carry our splendid culture. I hope more teenagers can learn and inherit these precious arts.

He was completely shocked and knew who I was. He lowered his head at once, his face filled with guilt and nervousness. He apologized repeatedly, saying the accident had haunted him for over two years. I told him I didn’t come to blame him. I just wanted to tell him I had forgiven him completely and hoped he wouldn’t trap himself in the accident any longer. I shared my recovery experience and comforted him that mistakes didn’t define a person.
We both were relieved and I patted his shoulder, turned, and ran down the stairs. After that talk, the heavy stone hanging over his heart fell away. Later, his mother sent me a message to thank me for my kindness. This experience taught me that forgiveness can free both others and ourselves. Instead of holding anger, choosing understanding brings peace to everyone’s heart.
