阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Multi-day cycling journeys represent a unique combination of physical challenge, absorbed travel, and intense environmental engagement. This mode of travel, cycling, allows for a close exploration of diverse landscapes. It is defined by its independence and a pace that is ideal for deep cultural and geographical appreciation. The following typical routes illustrate the varied appeal of such undertakings, each presenting a distinct set of physical demands and cultural rewards.
DANUBE CYCLE PATH
Crossing the river from its German source to its mouth in Romania constitutes an awe-inspiring 1,800-mile journey. However, its picturesque Austrian section offers a highly scenic alternative. Starting just across the German border in Passau, cyclists can conclude their journey in Slovakia, with Bratislava readily accessible from Vienna by train.
C2C(Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE
Modeled on the trans-England principle of Hadrian’s Wall, this route negotiates the rough landform of the Lake District and North Pennines. Participants often observe the tradition of engaging their back wheel in the Irish Sea at the outset, and their front wheel in the North Sea upon reaching the edge of Newcastle.
CANAL DU MIDI
This global cultural treasure in France was designed with boats not bikes in mind, but its tree-lined canal paths make for a very civilized cycle. Exodus Travels’ tour also takes in the historic walled town of Carcassonne from the Middle Ages and a chance to wash off the dust of the road on a pretty beach.
CROSS CAPE
This leg-testing journey crosses the southern tip of the African continent. Departing from Plettenberg Bay, the route progresses through the unique fynbos ecosystem, passes historic towns, and eventually reaches Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape Winelands.
Distance Typical Duration Official Resource
DANUBE CYCLE PATH 250 miles About 8 days danube-cycle-
C2C (Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE 150 miles About 6 days c2c-guide.co.uk
CANAL DU MIDI 120 miles About 5 days exodus.co.uk
CROSS CAPE 450 miles About 14 days capecycleroutes.co.za
21．What is the primary purpose of the text
A．To advertise cycling tours. B．To contrast cycling difficulties.
C．To explore cycling path history. D．To feature distinct cycling routes.
22．Which best suits cyclists seeking the most physically demanding challenge
A．DANUBE CYCLE PATH. B．C2C (Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE.
C．CANAL DU MIDI. D．CROSS CAPE.
23．What is a common characteristic of all these trips
A．Being global cultural treasure. B．Offering transport flexibility.
C．Integrating nature and culture. D．Focusing on history and tradition.
B
Marine biologist Dr. Emily Chen never expected to become a photographer. While examining coral samples under a laboratory microscope, she accidentally placed a piece of sea sponge（海绵） on the lens(镜片). The intricate patterns of its tiny pores and glowing bacteria stunned her. "It was like seeing an alien universe," she recalls.
That moment redirected her career. With ocean ecosystems threatened by rising temperatures and pollution, Chen realized that most people never witness the hidden beauty beneath the waves. She believed that if the public could view marine life at microscopic scales, they might feel more urgency to protect it.
So Chen adopted micro-photography, using specialized underwater cameras to capture minute sea creatures. Her work stands out not only for its surreal aesthetics but also for its call to action. In 2019, she launched Hidden Oceans, a project documenting the skeletal structures of endangered corals and the delicate limbs of larval（幼体的）fish.
To capture the microscopic details of marine life, each final image demands hundreds of hours. Chen uses a digital camera with a microscope lens, fixed on a computerized track. The track allows her to take a shot, then move the camera by 15 microns (微米)—roughly one-fifth the width of a human hair—for the next frame. In the end, she might take over 8,000 shots of a single larva or coral fragment. A computer then combines these small pictures into one high-resolution portrait, which is magnified to six feet across, revealing textures and details invisible to the naked eye.
Her latest exhibition, Vanishing Tides, at the National Maritime Museum, features species already extinct in the wild. "I don't just want to show pretty pictures," Chen says. "My responsibility is to shake things up and get people to pay attention. If my art can make someone pause and rethink our relationship with the ocean, I've succeeded."
24. What inspired Emily Chen to pursue micro-photography
A. A beautiful coral reef. B. A chance discovery under a microscope.
C. A recommendation from a colleague. D. An assignment from a museum.
25. How does Emily Chen capture the tiny details of marine life
A. By using a fixed camera with a standard lens.
B. By adjusting the camera position repeatedly for multiple shots.
C. By enlarging a single photo with computer software.
D. By diving deep to observe creatures directly.
26. What does the underlined phrase "stir emotions" in the last paragraph most probably mean
A．Get rid of the prejudice. B．Take action to save marine life.
C．Spare no efforts to face difficulties. D．Make people think about ocean differently.
27. Which of the following best describes Emily Chen
A. Creative and easy-going. B. Determined and socially aware.
C. Ambitious and wealthy. D. Humorous and modest.
C
Over the recent months, many news agencies have been reporting a trend involving Generation Alpha, aged 1 to 14. According to a report from NielsenIQ, a global marketing research firm, US households with 6 to 12-year-old children spent 27 percent more on skincare last year than they did the year before. What’s more, they’ve been buying beauty products specially developed for older customers.
Some people believe such fascination among Gen Alpha is merely a passing trend. However, experts think it is physical appearance anxiety that may be driving Gen Alpha to invest so much time, money, and effort into looking good.
Physical appearance anxiety is a form of worry about perceived physical imperfections Factors such as low self-esteem or fear of being rejected can make people more likely to experience appearance anxiety. Generation Alpha has a high risk of having physical appearance anxiety as they spend hours consuming content on apps like TikTok. Digital platforms like this can expose kids to influencers with “perfect” faces and bodies. This false version of reality lead them to have negative feelings about their own appearance.
Appearance anxiety isn’t limited to one’s physical features. Gen Alpha kids may also feel anxious if they’re wearing the “wrong” clothes or carrying an unfashionable schoolbag. They will feel more withdrawn and lose their self-confidence, so they tend to avoid people or even stop interacting with others altogether.
Some parents think that taking their Gen Alpha children to buy the best clothes or make-up may help relieve their kids’ anxiety over their appearance. But keep in mind that the feeling of satisfaction that they’d get from this is short-term. Instead of emptying your wallet, help your child to develop a sense of self-sympathy. Learning how to treat themselves with love, acceptance, and understanding can have a positive and lasting effect on mental health, which may help to reduce appearance anxiety.
28. What does the report from NielsenIQ say about Generation Alpha
A. They care much about their looks. B. They hold great spending power.
C. They use make-up to look mature. D. They spend more time with the elders.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The popularity of digital platforms. B. The negative impacts of social media.
C. The rise of digital content consumption. D. The possible causes of appearance anxiety.
30. What does Gen Alpha kids’ appearance anxiety result in
A. Worse physical appearance. B. Inability to fit in with others.
C. Ignorance of the dress code. D. Avoidance of social problems.
31. What should children do to overcome appearance anxiety
A. Enlarge their social circle. B. Relate to each other.
CAppreciate self-worth. D. Focus on academic performance.
D
Maybe you’ve dreamed of rising quickly like a bird since childhood, or you’ve recently started revisiting a particular place or time while asleep. If so, you are not alone. It seems like the same dreams keep following us.
Recurring (反复发生) dreams are a common phenomenon. Sometimes they’re nearly identical each time they occur, but they may also have recurring themes, locations or characters set against different backgrounds. This change sets them apart from nightmares (梦魇) caused by PTSD, a psychological condition in which people relive specific memories from their waking life with far less variation while asleep.
Recent studies have justified the long-held idea that recurring dreams are often — but not always — bad ones. The reasons why we might have a greater tendency for negative dreams are not fully understood, but Michael Schredl, a researcher from Germany, says dreams typically overstate something in our waking life — even a small feeling or minor situation we feel powerless to change. “In the dream, it becomes a much bigger emotion, although the connection isn’t always straightforward,” he explains.
Psychology and neuroscience offer additional clues. For example we are subject to what’s known as negativity prejudice: a tendency to focus more upon unpleasant thoughts, emotions or social interactions than on positive ones. This behavior is rooted in our subconscious (潜意识) need to resolve negative situations that threaten our survival. Negativity bias may be worsened in sleep because our dreaming brain holds back the areas associated with logic and activates parts associated with emotion.
Nirit Soffer-Dudek, a consciousness researcher at Ben-Gurion University in Israel, recommends developing good “sleep hygiene (卫生)”. By setting a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screen use and avoiding caffeine or alcohol before bed, “you’re less likely to fall asleep while still in a heightened emotional state,” she says. “The best advice I can give is to try to guarantee strong boundaries between your waking time and sleep to avoid bringing anxiety into your dreams.”
32. How do recurring dreams differ from PTSD-related nightmares
A. Recurring dreams have more variation. B. Recurring dreams are less vivid.
C. PTSD-related nightmares have more themes. D. PTSD-related nightmares are less frequent.
33. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The significance of subconscious behavior. B. The limitation of emotional activation.
C. The possible reason for negative dreams. D. The solution to worsened sleep.
34. What does Nirit suggest people do
A. Stop the use of electronic devices. B. Extend waking-and-sleeping boundaries.
C. Keep a regular sleep routine. D. Consume some alcohol before bed.
35. What is a suitable title for this text
A. Battle against poor sleep B. Take a look at recurring dreams
C. Cope with negativity prejudice D. Keep an eye on mental health

How to Develop a Stronger Mindset (心态)
A strong mindset allows people to stay focused, overcome obstacles (障碍), and achieve their goals. It is not something people are born with but something that can be developed. 36
Embrace Challenges Instead of Avoiding Them
Many people try to stay in their comfort zones to avoid failure. 37 This not only builds confidence but also provides valuable experience for handling future difficulties.
Manage Your Emotions Effectively
38 Mentally strong people don’t let emotions control their actions. Instead, they recognize their feelings and take time to process them before making decisions.
39
Some people believe that intelligence and abilities are fixed, while others see them as things that can be improved with effort. Those with a mindset focused on self-improvement are more likely to push through difficulties.
Build a Supportive Environment
While mindset is largely personal, the people around us also play a role in shaping our mental strength. 40 This is why mentally strong individuals seek out supportive friends, and inspiring role models.
A．Develop a Growth Mindset
B．Shape Your Mental Strength
C．Below are some strategies to help build mental strength.
D．We don’t let self-doubt or criticism stop us from making progress.
E．Instead of fearing failure, strong individuals see it as an opportunity to learn and improve.
F．It’s natural to experience negative emotions, but how we deal with them matters.
G．Surrounding yourself with positive, motivated individuals can make a big difference.

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。
Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.

【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer.
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.

W: Tell us about winning your first gold medal. You must have been so excited.
M: The funny thing is that I was lost in my own world during that race.
W: Do you mean you were too tired to feel anything

M: Hi, everyone. I want to share with you what it’s like being on a cooking show. Many people think it’s easy, but actually it’s very stressful. I usually arrive at the studio around 7 a.m. First, I meet with the producer and we go through the script for the day. Then I go to the dressing room to change into my chef’s uniform. After that, the make-up artist makes sure I look good on camera. This usually takes only about 15 minutes because I don’t wear much make-up. We begin filming at around 9 a.m. But things don’t always go smoothly. Sometimes the cameras don’t work or the sound is not clear, so we have to wait. When everything is ready, I start cooking and talking to the camera at the same time. It’s hard to do both. We usually finish by 5 p.m., but it depends on how many mistakes we make. After filming, I take off my uniform, say good bye to the team and go home to rest. It’s a long day, but I love sharing my recipes with the audience.
