Train travel is far more than a mode of transportation; it is a moving journey. Here are four must-see train trips.
The Glacier Express, Switzerland
Known as “the slowest express train” in the world, the Glacier Express is one of the Switzerland’s most amazing rail journeys, which runs about 290 kilometers in approximately 8 hours. The train travels through the Swiss Alps. Choose winter for a magical snow-covered landscape.
The Ghan, Australia
Travelling across Australia along a century-old railroad with a distance of 2,979 kilometers, this train journey is all at once a geological field trip. The 3-day journey takes you from South Australia green farmlands through the central red desert to the tropical Northern area. And with luck you might even spot wild camels.
The Jacobite Steam Train, UK
Often called one of the greatest railway journeys in the world, the Jacobite is a heritage steam train that travels 66 kilometers from Fort William to the village of Mallaig in about two hours. It is the real-life train used as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter film. Visit Glenfinnan Station Museum to know the story of the West Highland Railway, its construction and development.
The Y971, China
The Y971 train is one of the many trains crossing along the Qinghai-Xizang Railway. The 21-hour train journey starts from Xining to Lhasa, covering about 1,956 kilometers. Travelling across the “the roof of the world”, you will catch sight of the vast Qinghai Lake, the snowy Kunlun Mountains, and the wildlife reserves where Tibetan antelopes live. Also, you will be amazed by the brilliance of human engineering on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.

An unexpected accident took place during a regular pool therapy class. Twelve-year-old Austen from Florida saved his therapist Jason Piquette. At the beginning of the class, Jason suddenly felt dizzy and sank underwater. While other adults nearby froze in panic, Austen immediately recognized how dangerous the situation was.
Without hesitation, the 12-year-old dived into action, pulling his therapist to the pool’s edge and beginning chest compressions. He stayed calm and used the right skills, which shocked all onlookers. No one thought a kid of his age knew exactly what to do.
When asked how he knew to perform CPR, Austen credited an unexpected source: the hit Netflix series Stranger Things. In Season One, the characters saved a person with standard chest compressions, and he clearly remembered every step. “I watched them count while pressing and kept going until the person breathed again, so I followed that.” Austen told reporters.
Thanks to the boy’s quick response, Jason made a full recovery. He calls the boy his “angel”. Jason said, “I owe my life to this incredible young man. He didn’t just save me; he gave me back to my family.”
Dr. Sarah Chen, an emergency medicine physician, praised Austen’s actions while highlighting an important point about modern media. “This shows that children are absorbing information from everywhere, including TV shows. When accurate medical procedures are shown in entertainment, it can really save lives.”
The local fire department has honored Austen with a civilian hero award. As for Austen, he remains humble. Since the incident, he has become an advocate for CPR education. “I want other kids to know they can help too,” Austen said. “You don’t have to be an adult to save someone’s life. You just need to know what to do and not be afraid to try.”
24. What happened to Jason when the class began
A．He was hurt by an adult. B．He saved a boy in the pool.
C．He was drowning in water. D．He got his head badly injured.
25. Where did Austen learn the skills of CPR
A．From a TV show. B．From an online course.
C．From a medical book. D．From his school teacher.
26. What can we conclude from Dr. Sarah Chen’s words
A．Social media should be widely promoted.
B．Medical skills need to be taught at school.
C．Kids can learn useful skills from TV programs.
D．Kids must stay away from entertainment shows.
27. What can we learn about Austen from the last paragraph
A．He thinks saving lives is adults’ duty.
B．He stresses the importance of modesty.
C．He takes pride in receiving the award.
D．He hopes more kids learn life-saving skills.
C
Wittgenstein claimed in his book Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” British philosopher Russell even argued that without language, intelligent thinking was never possible. It’s widely believed that language is what makes humans different from other animals, and that thinking cannot happen without it. However, a recent study in Nature challenges this idea, showing that language and thought are different entities that work in separate brain areas.
The first part of the study focused on patients with global aphasia, who lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left side of their brains. Surprisingly, researchers found they could still finish complex tasks. “If given non-verbal instructions, they can work out puzzles or pass reasoning tests,” explained Fedorenko from MIT, a co-author of the study.
In the second part, the team used brain-imaging tools to observe healthy volunteers. When the volunteers performed non-verbal tasks like solving math problems, the language regions of their brains were largely inactive. This provides clear evidence suggesting that we need language to express our thoughts, but we can still think without words.
So why did humans develop language if it’s not so necessary for thinking According to Fedorenko, language mainly acts as a powerful communication tool for information exchange. “Most of what we learn about the world comes from language, not direct experience with the world,” she noted. Being able to share complex information through language gave humans a great evolutionary advantage.
Although language doesn’t necessarily generate thoughts, past research shows that it does shape how we think. For example, speakers of some languages might describe an accidental breakage as “He broke the vase,” placing emphasis on the person who caused it, while speakers of other languages might say “The vase was broken,” shifting attention toward the event itself. Undoubtedly, how we speak still heavily influences our thinking patterns.
28. Why were Wittgenstein and Russell mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To advertise their books.
B．To introduce a common belief.
C．To challenge a new study.
D．To advocate philosophy learning.
29. What can patients with global aphasia still do
A．Learn foreign languages.
B．Understand spoken instructions.
C．Speak their mother tongues.
D．Solve puzzles with non-verbal cues.
30. What is the primary function of language according to Fedorenko
A．Exchanging ideas among humans.
B．Deciding humans’ evolutionary direction.
C．Allowing humans to generate thoughts.
D．Replacing direct experience with the world.
31. How does language influence thinking according to the example in the last paragraph
A．It aids reflection. B．It deepens thinking.
C．It switches focus. D．It fuels imagination.
D
China has become one of the few countries to fight against the global trend of coastal deforestation. The latest data show that China’s total mangrove now covers an area of roughly 31,700 hectares, achieving a 44 percent increase in mangrove forest area since 2000.
Mangroves are the only woody plant communities that survive in the coastal areas of tropical and subtropical regions. Despite being green, the tree is called “red forest” in Chinese, for its inner bark will turn deep red when exposed to air after cutting.
Mangroves purify water, create a healthy ecosystem and provide shelter for fish, crabs and other organisms, while waste and nutrients from these living things act as natural fertilizer for the mangroves. Globally, they are among the world’s most effective carbon stores, absorbing carbon dioxide at a speed much greater than that of a tropical rainforest of the same size.
“The biggest challenge in restoration is not planting trees, but balancing nature with livelihoods,” researchers said. Science has offered a way forward through an integrated mangrove-based farming model. Unlike conventional ponds that enclose all water or clear all plants, the approach restores ecosystems while maintaining productivity. “The meat of crabs raised here is sweeter because of the clean water,” a crab farmer said. “My family has farmed here for generations, but never at this scale. Now, with healthier mangroves, the crabs can sell for double the normal price.”
Ten years on, the mangroves have flourished into a green woodland, showing remarkable progress in ecological restoration. Despite being home to only about 0.2 percent of the world’s mangroves, China is demonstrating that restoration is not a choice between nature and humanity, but a combination of both. Even a small part of greenery can protect a coastline, sustain a community and contribute to global ecological balance.
32. What do we know about mangroves forest
A．They turn red when staying in water.
B．They trap carbon dioxide remarkably.
C．They produce large amounts of waste.
D．They grow much faster than rainforests.
33. What can we infer about the mangrove-based farming model
A．It clears other plants from mangroves.
B．It lowers the price of local sea products.
C．It goes against traditional farming model.
D．It balances ecological and economic benefits.
34. What does the underlined word “flourished” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A．Developed healthily. B．Faded slowly.
C．Disappeared quickly. D．Fitted perfectly.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A．China’s measures for storing carbon.
B．China’s innovation in farming model.
C．China’s practice in mangrove restoration.
D．China’s approaches to ecosystem protection.

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 Mia. I live in the apartment building at the corner of Oak Avenue and Maple Road. Beside the corner stands a young maple tree, and birds build their nests in its branches.
Most people passed by and didn’t pay any attention to the corner, yet to me it was a place of treasure. Whenever the noisy apartment drove me crazy, I would flee to this place, taking a flying leap into a sea of green. The birds went on about their business all around me. Butterflies and insects flew up at my feet. Lying on the fresh grass, I always wondered why I was the only one who was fascinated by this place.
Some folks didn’t respect this corner. They threw trash as they walked by. There was junk there — old chairs, broken bicycle wheels and someone’s rusty mailbox. I worried that one day this lovely corner would be ruined.
One evening, Mom broke the news: the community suggested turning the corner into a parking lot. “No! They can’t do that! How about the tree The birds ” I shouted, heartbroken. Mom hugged me and said softly, “Mia, you got to make people see what you see. Nothing will change by sitting back and staying quiet.”
That night, I lay awake for a long time, thinking about what to do. The next morning, I put up a cardboard sign that read “NO PARKING LOT! SAVE OUR NATURE!”. Then I began cleaning up the ground, hoping more people would see its beauty. To my great joy, my families came to help me. My brother filmed every moment of our cleanup and recorded the birds’ nests with his phone and shared the video online.
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 day, my brother brought me good news.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eventually, a public meeting was held about the corner’s future.

Dear Chris,
I’m writing to offer a suggestion about our English club activities. At present, most activities are limited to speech contests and movie watching, which are too single and lack literary charm.
I hope we can add English poetry appreciation activities. Reading classic poems helps us feel the beauty of English language, improve our sense of language and learn more western culture. Besides, sharing poems can make our communication more lively.
I would appreciate it if you could consider my idea.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
读后续写参考范文
The next day, my brother brought me good news. The video he posted online went viral quickly. Many local residents commented that they loved the small green corner and hated the plan to build a parking lot. Some environmental lovers even came to help me clear rubbish and plant small flowers around the maple tree. More and more people began to stop by and admire the little natural corner.
Eventually, a public meeting was held about the corner’s future. I plucked up my courage and stood up to speak. I showed the photos of birds’ nests and told everyone how this small green space comforted busy residents. Many people agreed with me. Finally, the community canceled the parking lot plan and decided to turn the corner into a small community natural garden. I felt so proud that my small efforts protected this lovely little corner.
