A
Below are places for meaningful journeys into nature, history and culture.
Austrian Alps
Since 2008, 36 villages in Central Europe’s Eastern Alps have banded together to promote their communities to the travelers in the world who are interested in mountain hiking, biking, and climbing, as well as winter sports like cross-country skiing and ice climbing. The villagers put great emphasis on green mountain tourism. For example, they refuse large tourist projects like huge ski sites and cable cars. Hikers usually stay in farmers’ houses and try traditional foods after a long day in the mountains.
Longmen Grottoes
Running for about 1,000 meters along the Yi River in China’s Henan Province and carved between the 5th and 8th centuries, Longmen Grottoes features over 2,300 caves which are home to more than 100,000 Buddha (佛像) statues. As one of the four most famous grottoes in China, it offers invaluable information about the politics, economy, and spirituality of its time.
Appian Way
If all roads lead to Rome, this ancient highway built 2,300 years ago is the mother of them all. Stretching for 360 miles from the heart of Italy’s capital to the seaport of Brindisi on the Adriatic, the ancient road, which symbolizes the ups and downs of the Roman Empire, has been rebuilt for modern travelers, with stops at scenic villages and historical sites.
Hadrian’s Wall
Starting to be built in the second century, Hadrian’s Wall once marked the rule of the Roman Empire in the UK. Things have changed over the past two thousand years. But the 73-mile-long wall continues to attract visitors. This year, soldiers dressed in Roman uniforms will once again patrol （巡逻） along the rebuilt wall.
1. What is the destination in Austrian Alps known for
A．Sea beaches.

When computer network came into existence, it was extremely difficult to use. To read an online story, for example, you would need to know which network-equipped computer had the story you wanted and then connect your machine to the computer directly.
But on April 30, 1993, that all changed thanks to the invention of the World Wide Web. Since then, users just need to type in an address. More importantly, anyone can build their own “website”.
The World Wide Web was the brainchild of Tim Berners-Lee, a 37-year-old researcher at CERN, a physics lab in Switzerland. But Berners-Lee thought that keeping the technology as open as possible to the public would help it grow.
The decision led to a rapid growth of internet users. By the end of 1995, more than 24 million people in the US and Canada alone spent an average of 5 hours per week on the internet.
It’s hard not to wonder what life would look like today if Berners-Lee hadn’t decided to give away the invention. In a 1999 interview, Berners-Lee was asked why he never cashed in.
“Your question suggests that you just measure people’s value by their net worth,” he responded. “People are what they’ve done and what they stand for, rather than what they happen to have in the bank.”
Since the World Wide Web went public, it’s totally changed how we communicate, gather, work and learn. However, it’s also expanded the reach of disinformation. Berners-Lee even predicted this problem decades ago.
“I don’t mind there being false information out there,” he said in the same interview. “The important thing is that users should know that the webpages they see are written by people. In a way, the internet is a reflection of the real world. Users should learn to know whether they’re looking at disinformation or not.”
4. Why did Berners-Lee give away his invention
A．He didn’t know it was valuable.
B．He had too much money in the bank.
C．He was under pressure to do so.
D．He probably wanted to popularize it.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The side effects of the internet.
B．The protest from the public.
C．The significance of the decision.
D．The advantages of the internet.
6. What did Berners-Lee suggest about the online disinformation
A．It was unavoidable.
B．It was totally unacceptable.
C．It should be stopped.
D．It could be easily recognized.
7. Which of the following best describes Berners-Lee
A．Ungrateful.
B．Generous.
C．Humorous.
D．Irresponsible.
C
Since Born to Run, a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico, was published in 2009, walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world, again. Over the years, a growing number of studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength, improve balance and reduce risk of falls.
A recent study, which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear, has even found that our shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet. “For example, most shoes have a quite narrow toe box,” it writes. “It means our toes are pressed together and we can’t use our feet naturally. This may contribute to poor balance and even arch collapse (扁平足) over time.”
While those studies about the barefoot movement are promising, don’t throw out all of the shoes just yet, warn other researchers. They argue that switching (切换) to barefoot walking too quickly can be a recipe for injuries since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength. Plus, our feet are now very sensitive to anything but smooth, soft ground.
“That’s like having your arm in a cast (石膏) for years, ”says John Mercer, professor at the University of Nevada. “Then take it off, and the first thing you do is go out and play a game of tennis.”
Instead, Mercer recommends starting slow. “First, try walking around the house and outside on a soft surface. Then, go for a short walk around the block. Add a bit more distance each week,” he suggests. “Your feet will tell you when you’ve had enough. If you experience any sharp pain, stop.”
8. What does the new study most probably aim to do
A．Show the benefits of barefoot walking.
B．Warn the risk of walking without shoes.
C．Provide guidelines for barefoot walkers.
D．Study the problems of modern footwear.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “be a recipe for” in paragraph 3
A．Lead to.
B．Keep track of.
C．Take advantage of.
D．Get through.
10. What does John Mercer mean
A．We can protect our feet with a cast.
B．We must toughen up our feet gradually.
C．We should go for other exercises first.
D．We have to do warm-up exercises each time.
11. In which section of a newspaper will this text most probably appear
A．Literature.
B．Technology.
C．Sports.
D．Environment.

The research, conducted by a team of scientists at Queen Mary University of London, employed machine learning (ML) techniques to analyse the lyrics (歌词) and audio features of individuals’ favorite songs, revealing a complex connection between music and morality.
“Our study provides powerful evidence that music preferences can serve as a window into an individual’s moral values,” stated Dr Charalampos Saitis, one of the senior authors of the study.
The study involved an existing dataset of over 1,400 participants who completed questionnaires assessing their moral values and provided information about their favorite artists through the Internet. The researchers then took acoustic and lyrical features from the top five songs of each participant’s preferred artists.
Using ML algorithms, the team analysed the features to predict participants’ moral values. Various text processing techniques, including lexicon-based methods, were employed to analyze narrative, moral values, feelings, and emotions in lyrics. Additionally, low-and high-level audio features provided via Spotify’s API were used to understand information in participants’ musical choices, enhancing moral inferences.
The results showed that a combination of lyrical and audio features outperformed basic information in predicting individuals’ moral values. Specifically, musical elements like pitch (音高) and timbre appeared as key predictors for values of care and fairness, while feelings and emotions expressed in lyrics were more effective in predicting qualities of loyalty, authority, and purity.
“Our findings reveal that music is not only a source of entertainment; it is also a powerful medium that reflects and shapes our moral sensibilities,” remarked Vjosa Preniqi, lead author of the study. “By understanding this connection, we can open up new methods for music-based interventions (干预) that promote positive moral development.”
The study’s implications go beyond academic curiosity, holding the potential to impact how we use music in diverse aspects of life. “Our breakthrough can create new possibilities across multiple fields — from personalised music experiences to innovative music therapy (治疗) and communication campaigns,” commented Dr Kyriaki Kalimeri, senior co-author of the study.
12. What were the participants asked to do during the study
A．Share their top artist choices.
B．Collect data about artists.
C．Express their personal feelings.
D．Sing their favorite songs.
13. Which moral values are best predicted by lyrical emotions
A．Loyalty and care.
B．Authority and purity.
C．Purity and fairness.
D．Fairness and loyalty.
14. What is a potential application of the study
A．Developing AI-generated songs.
B．Creating global music festivals.
C．Improving smartphone audio quality.
D．Designing music recommendation systems.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Music Therapy for Moral Growth
B．The Entertainment Value of Music
C．Music Tastes Show Moral Values
D．Machine Learning in Music Analysis

Writing a short story can be challenging because it needs to include all the key parts of a novel in a much smaller space. However, a shorter length also gives writers more freedom to focus on important details. 16______. To this end, we put together the following tips that may help you plan your next short story.
First, start by brainstorming ideas. 17______. One clear and interesting idea is enough to begin. When an idea comes to you, take time to think about it. You can use writing prompts to get inspired. Write down anything useful, such as characters, places, or lines of dialogue that come to mind.

To create conflict, you need to know what your main character wants and what stops them from getting it. 18______, such as fear or doubt, or outside, such as another person or a difficult situation.
Then, create a brief summary of the story. Plan the main events and important moments between characters. 19______, and only include details that help develop the main idea of the story.
20______. Many short stories work well in first-person, but there’s no hard and fast rule saying yours must: If your story needs to be told in second-person or third-person, that works, too. Whichever point of view you choose, focus on one main character to keep the story clear and easy to follow.

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。
My grandpa was a master baker in Newton, Kansas. He never wasted anything in his shop. He would bring me various cookies once or twice a week. They were the cookies he couldn’t sell because they were broken.
It wasn’t until I started kindergarten that I learned that cookies were supposed to be round and whole, not broken into little squares or triangles.
After I made this troubling discovery, I asked Grandpa why he gave me broken cookies.
He said, “Grandson, you’re sure to meet a lot of broken things in your life, such as broken promises, broken hearts and so on. But here’s the thing: something is only broken if you choose to see it that way.”
I tried to remember Grandpa’s words. But as the years passed, his advice faded away, waiting to speak to me at just the right moment.
And that moment arrived many years later.
My wife and I decided to move into a new house. It was December, and, against the advice of my wife, I had decided we would move everything ourselves. After a busy day, our new house was full. Suddenly my wife said, “Tomorrow is Christmas. We forgot to get a Christmas tree.”
So, we set out, on Christmas Eve, to find a Christmas tree. Of course there weren’t any. But at our last stop at a local shop, a salesperson directed us to the dumpster out back, which was full of Christmas leftovers, suggesting that we might find one there. We made our way to the dumpster, and my wife, ever the adventurous type, climbed up the side.
Then she said excitedly, “There’s a living Christmas tree in here — upside down!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In our moment of disappointment, I suddenly remembered Grandpa’s words.

Dear fellow students,
Recently I’ve noticed some students pick the beautiful ornamental flowers in our campus at will. These flowers decorate our school and bring us pleasure every day. Picking them damages the campus environment and destroys the beauty shared by all.
I sincerely call on every student to protect the flowers. Please appreciate them with your eyes instead of picking them. Let’s work together to keep our campus lovely.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Then she said excitedly, “There’s a living Christmas tree in here — upside down!”
I hurried to her side and saw a small green pine tree lying inside the trash bin. Its roots were exposed and several branches were bent and cracked. My wife carefully pulled it out. Though it looked damaged and imperfect, it was still fresh and alive. We took it home, trimmed the broken branches gently and put it in a flower pot. We hung small simple decorations on it to cover its flaws.
In our moment of disappointment, I suddenly remembered Grandpa’s words.
Something is broken only if you choose to see it that way. This damaged tree was just like the broken cookies Grandpa gave me years ago. It was not rubbish but a special Christmas gift. Staring at our unique tree, I fully understood Grandpa’s lesson. Life is full of imperfect things, but as long as we change our attitude, we can always find warmth and beauty in them.
