Movement, challenge, team spirit—indoor climbing as an experience for school classes & clubs! School classes and clubs are welcome to explore the world of indoor climbing with us. Whether doing rope climbing with a coach or free bouldering (抱石攀岩), the goal remains the same: to stay active together and build trust in a playful way. Ideal for sports days or class trips.
Rules and Guidelines
·Supervision (监督) proportion: 1 teacher or group leader is required for a maximum of 8 participants. (The teacher and group leader from schools enter for free.)
·Safety: Teachers or group leaders must supervise their members at all times.
·Bouldering: Participants without official climbing qualifications may only take part in bouldering; rope climbing is not permitted.
·Rope climbing: Additional instructor supervision is needed.
Meeting Point
After arriving at the climbing hall individually, participants meet on-site and go to the changing rooms on their own, where they can get changed and store their valuables.
Activities
Climbing shoes, safety belts and other protective devices are provided—one set per person, with no spares available. The climbing experience will then begin, with flexible arrangements; Typically, the group starts in the bouldering area, where participants climb independently and without a rope—at low heights and on soft mats (地垫).
If you wish to try more challenges, supervised rope climbing led by an experienced instructor is available. Every participant will be fully secured and receive one-on-one guidance as they take their first climbs.
Once the scheduled activities finish, you may continue climbing freely or explore the venue at your leisure.

When I studied for my master’s degree, II wanted to get results fast, publish papers, and outperform my peers (同龄人). I took on as many projects as I could, aiming to impress my professor and earn a strong recommendation letter. Speed and output felt like the only way to get into a top Ph. D. program. Gradually, I grew careless and often ignored basic lab safety guidelines.
It happened on a Sunday night. I was running a high-pressure reactor experiment to collect data for my presentation the next day. Waiting for the reactor to cool completely before opening it was standard practice, but I considered it a waste of time. So, I forced it open long before it cooled down.
Acid liquid suddenly splashed out, hitting a senior lab mate working nearby. The burning liquid hurt her neck, making her let out a painful cry. We rushed to the hospital at once. Luckily, she recovered without permanent injuries, but the terrifying scene and my mistake left a heavy burden on my mind.
For days, I avoided entering the lab. Uneasy feelings welled up inside me. I felt I was totally unfit for scientific work and even thought about quitting the field. Just then, my professor came to me.
“Science never rewards precipitancy,” he said. “Safety rules are not just words on paper. They protect you and everyone working beside you.” His gentle yet powerful words stayed in my mind and finally woke me up from despair.
I made up my mind to start over with a new attitude. From then on, I followed every operation step strictly and checked all equipment repeatedly. I learned to slow down and stay fully focused instead of blindly rushing for progress and eventually, I achieved my academic dream.
24. What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He prioritized quick academic gains.
B. He performed better than his classmates.
C. He lacked experience in conducting experiments.
D. He earned the professor’s trust in a Ph. D. program.
25. How did the author probably feel about the accident
A. Regretful and bored. B. Helpless and lonely.
C. Guilty and discouraged. D. Annoyed and defensive.
26. What does the underlined word “precipitancy” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Total obedience to basic rules. B. Overestimation of professional skills.
C. Strong eagerness for speed. D. Carelessness caused by tiredness.
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. Strict safety rules are essential in labs.
B. A lab accident reshaped the author’s attitude.
C. Constant hard work led to the author’s success.
D. Timely guidance is decisive in students’ performance.
C
Monkeys fitted with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) —technology that enables humans or animals to operate equipment and computers with their thoughts—have successfully finished diverse navigation tasks in various complex virtual environments through brain signal control.
Peter Janssen from Belgium and his team planted (植入) BCIs into three monkeys. Crucially, each monkey received three implants containing 96 sensors in total, placed in three key brain regions. One area manages voluntary physical movements, while the other two are in charge of movement planning and organization. An AI model reads electrical signals collected by the sensors and translates them into orders to control virtual characters and objects in 3D virtual environments.
In the experiments, the monkeys managed to control a virtual ball from a fixed perspective and operate virtual monkey figures from a third-person view, just like players do in computer games. In further tests, the monkeys even navigated virtual buildings, opening doors and moving freely between rooms.
Most earlier BCI tests on human participants required users to imagine specific physical movements, such as lifting or lowering a finger, to control on-screen pointers. However, Janssen’s new sensor arrangement helps establish a more advanced and natural movement connection. “We cannot ask the monkeys for feedback, yet the new approach allows them to control computers in a more natural manner,” Janssen explains. He also notes that most BCI devices on the market feel awkward and frustrating for human users, who often compare the experience to “trying to move your ears”, and that it usually takes months to get used to them.
Janssen believes this new method is also applicable to humans. It can help people with physical disabilities explore virtual worlds or operate electric wheelchairs more smoothly, though relevant human trials will not be carried out anytime soon and need further careful assessment.
28. What does paragraph 2 focus on
A. The problems facing the researchers. B. The findings of the researchers.
C. The subjects involved in the experiment. D. The procedure of the experiment.
29. What did the monkeys do in the experiment
A. They carried out virtual exploration. B. They competed with humans in games.
C. They learned from some virtual monkey figures. D. They switched between real and virtual spaces.
30. What is a feature of Janssen’s sensor arrangement
A. It provides timely feedback. B. It brings difficulty in adapting.
C. It enables smoother movement control. D. It requires strong spatial imagination.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Development of BCI Technology
B. Monkeys’ Navigation Abilities Were Discovered
C. The Differences Between Old and New BCI Devices
D. New BCI Experiment Shows Promise for the Disabled
D
When we think of marine life, we usually picture colourful coral reefs (珊瑚礁) or dense seaweed forests filled with fish and other creatures. The ocean that comes to mind is the one touched by sunlight. However, most of the ocean is not like that. By volume, roughly 95% of the ocean is the permanently dark, cold deep sea. Despite such severe conditions, life exists there.
Deep-sea marine sponges (海绵) are among the organisms that live in these mysterious dark waters. They form “gardens” that are among the largest ecosystems on the planet, some covering thousands of square kilometers on the ocean floor. They work as ecosystem engineers, providing habitats for many other organisms living on the seafloor.
A new study published in Microbiome examined Calyx sponges living 830 meters below the surface. Unlike shallow-water sponges that depend on photosynthetic (光合作用的) microorganisms to gain energy from sunlight, these deep-sea creatures form a tight partnership with special microorganisms to make a living without light.
Scientists have identified two key strategies employed by their partners. About 16 percent of these microorganisms carry out chemosynthesis. They use ammonia, a waste product from sponges, as energy to transform CO2 into biomass, similar to how plants use sunlight for growth. The other 84 percent feed on rare organic matter through heterotrophy, breaking down tiny food particles slowly falling from upper waters to support both themselves and their hosts.
These strategies work together perfectly and efficiently. The unique partnership allows sponges to grow steadily and form large, stable ecosystems on the seafloor, supporting many other small creatures like invertebrates and crustaceans in the local food chain.
The discovery greatly expands our knowledge of how life survives without light. It also shows the complex and delicate relationships between marine animals and microorganisms. As the deep ocean covers most of our planet, these findings are vital for understanding global ecological cycles and defending the delicate, undisturbed deep-sea environments against increasing human deep-sea mining threats.
32. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By challenging a traditional belief.
B. By stressing the biodiversity in the ocean.
C. By drawing a contrast between different sea zones.
D. By describing a personal observation of the deep sea.
33. What is the main function of deep-sea sponges
A. To beautify seafloors. B. To supply shelter.
C. To recycle nutrients. D. To produce oxygen.
34. What can be learned from paragraph 4
A. Chemosynthesis depends on sunlight.
B. Heterotrophy transforms CO2 into O2.
C. Chemosynthesis takes advantage of sponge waste.
D. Heterotrophy provides more consistent food resources.
35. What does the author imply about the new discovery
A. It reminds people of deep-sea protection. B. It indicates the direction for future research.
C. It changes people’s understanding of sunlight. D. It proves the necessity to ban deep-sea mining.

Rejection can come in many forms: feeling left out of a friend group, missing out on a job offer, or even failing to win a competition. When such things happen, we may question our abilities and think over what this means about ourselves. Over time, they can give our confidence a knock. 36 Here are four techniques you might want to try.
Change the way of thinking. For someone rejected for a job opening, the automatic response might be: “My career progression is ruined.” Yet replacing such negative thoughts with positive ones is highly advisable. Thoughts like“ 37 ” and “I’ll be in a better position next time an opportunity comes up.” are helpful. They allow us to deal with difficult situations while staying motivated to move forward positively.
Shape the story. It involves observing thoughts and emotions and using them as part of your story. If you weren’t chosen for a drama club lead role, you might feel undervalued or upset. 38 Instead, acknowledge these feelings and look for other areas of your life that strengthen your self-worth, from your kids’ fondness for your cooking to a friend’s praise for your carefully prepared gifts.
39 If you’re not invited to a friend’s party, it’s natural to feel hurt. Yet we don’t have to stay stuck in disappointment. Instead of focusing on the rejection, consider how it relates to your values. Then, cultivate those values in other relationships.
Do a strength review. Use rejection as an opportunity to recognize your strengths and plan for your growth. List your strengths and identify skills you’d like to develop. 40
A. Reframe your values.
B. Adjust your attitudes accordingly.
C. It should be taken as a signal of failure.
D. It might not have been the right role for me.
E. However, there are opportunities for growth hidden in these experiences.
F. Holding onto such feelings can lead you to believe you’re not good enough.
G. This builds confidence in the short term and creates a long-term growth roadmap.

Along Wangfu Street of Nanjing, at six in the morning, steam rises into the cool air. A long queue has formed outside a shop. Some are neighborhood 56 (regular), while others are visitors from far away. They are all waiting for the same thing: a local specialty referred 57 as wufan, or “black rice”.
In Nanjing, the occasion 58 (tie) closely to the custom of eating black rice, believed to nourish (滋养) the body as the weather turns warm. As the folk saying goes, “Eat black rice at li xia (Start of Summer, the 7th solar term of the year), and you won’t be troubled by mosquitoes all year round.” Behind it 59 (lie) one of the traditional Chinese medicine principles: As temperatures rise and yang energy grows, people prefer foods that help to restore balance 60 to calm the mind.
The key ingredient is nanzhu leaves. Harvested in early spring, they are pressed to get a green, 61 (slight) bitter juice. Sticky rice is soaked (浸泡) in it 62 (absorb) the natural plant color before being steamed. What follows is a gradual 63 (transform). The rice turns green, and then blue under steam. Once 64 (expose) to air, it deepens into a rich purplish-black, carrying a faint herbal smell.
“It’s a craft that depends on experience,” says 73-year-old Shi Fangpo, 65 has been making black rice for nearly four decades. “You have to adjust everything—the soaking time, the heat—based on the weather…” As the city evolves, traditions like this preserve continuity.

A Campaign on Campus accident Prevention and Protection

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。
I grew up before cellphones existed. Now, I see almost everyone around me is focused on their phones. Even young children seem addicted to them. I know I cannot change the world. I cannot force a stranger on the train to put down his phone. But as a senior high school teacher, I can make the rules in my own classroom.
First of all, I’ve learned that punishing students for using cellphones in class does not work. I once had a workmate who tried this, threatening to punish anyone who broke the rule. The result: The class disobeyed and the rest of her semester was, in a word, unhappy.
But neither do I think it good to just ignore the problem. I knew a teacher who adopted this approach in his math class. One day, I ran into some of his students on campus. I asked them who their math teacher was. Their response: “Some guy.” Clearly, the teacher and his students were operating in two separate worlds, each ignoring the other.
Both stories showed me there must be a middle way. I thought hard and came up with one. It goes like this: On the first day of class, I strike a friendly but purposeful tone with my students, telling them, “If I catch you playing with your cellphone during the class discussion, you must immediately call your parents and tell them that you love them.”
I said this with a smile in my eyes, and my students laughed kindly. Then I added my part of the deal: “This means when you come to me with a question or a problem, I promise not to text or stare at my cellphone. I will give you all my attention. ” After I said this in a caring but serious way, my students stopped playing with the phone in class.
Well, most of them did. However, one student named Paul liked to challenge the classroom rules.

One possible version:
A Campaign on Campus Accident Prevention and Protection
Last week, our school organized a campaign themed “Campus Accident Prevention and Protection” to raise students’ awareness of safety.
The campaign began with a lecture by a professional safety trainer, who explained common causes of campus injuries. Then, we watched a video demonstrating proper first aid measures for different emergencies. After that, students participated in an interactive session, where we practiced handling simulated accidents, including bandaging wounds and performing CPR.
This activity was both educational and practical. Personally, I gained a clearer understanding of potential dangers on campus and learned essential skills to prevent and respond to accidents. I strongly believe such campaigns are vital in fostering a safe school environment for everyone.

One possible version:
One day, in a class discussion, I caught Paul texting on his cellphone. The class immediately froze, waiting to see what I would do. I walked over to him calmly and said, “Paul, you know the rule. Please call your parents right now and tell them you love them.” He looked up, his face reddening, but he knew I meant it. With shaking hands, he dialed his mother’s number and put the phone on speaker. “Mom I’m in class... I just want to say I love you,” he mumbled. There was a brief pause on the other end. Then came his mother’s voice, warm and surprised: “I love you too, Paul.”
All students were touched after hearing Paul’s conversation with his mom. A quiet wave of warmth filled the classroom. Paul lowered his head in embarrassment, realizing how little he had expressed love to his family. After class, he came to make an apology to me sincerely and promised never to use his phone in class again. From then on, all students followed the rule strictly. They devoted themselves to all kinds of class activities wholeheartedly. What’s more, Paul made obvious progress in his studies. This special rule brought not only focused study but also more sincere love and communication between students and their families.

W: Good morning, dear listeners! Today, we have a special treat for you on our show. It’s a great honour to sit down with the talented author Colson Whitehead. We talked about his fascinating journey to becoming a famous writer. Colson put suspense and fantasy elements in his first book, The Intuitionist, in 1999. He shared that the lively city life and the rich cultural history of New York influenced his writing. Colson dreamed of becoming a novelist. As a child, he enjoyed reading, especially science fiction. His love for storytelling eventually led him to the world of books. Colson’s parents were both successful professionals, who ran a company. They sent their children to private schools. Over the years, Colson has received numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction twice, first for The Underground Railroad in 2017 and then, 3 years later, for The Nickel Boys. These awards have established his place as one of the leading voices in contemporary literature. During our interview, Colson also gave us a description of his future projects, so stay tuned for the full interview.
