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.
Price Options
Age Group 5—9: $12/ person
Age Group 10—15: $18/ person
Instructor Supervision 1.5 hours: $150

When I studied for my master’s degree, I 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.

My husband Ron and I live beside a woodland in Queensland. As devoted magpie (喜鹊) enthusiasts, we ___41___ feed local magpies.
Several years ago, having finished grocery shopping, we ___42___ the garage. When we headed to the back of the car to unload our ___43___, to our surprise, we ___44___ a magpie standing several meters away. It displayed no sign of ___45___, as if sensing we were ready to lend assistance.
___46___ it, we found a piece of fishing wire wrapped tightly around its leg. Ron hurried upstairs and ___47___ some seeds and a pair of scissors. While I fed the bird, Ron ___48___ to catch it and cut the wire.
Though ___49___ from the trap, the magpie still suffered a noticeable limp (跛脚) and couldn’t leave immediately. To aid its ___50___, we set out a bowl of clean water and nutritious food in our yard.

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。
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.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, in a class discussion, I caught Paul texting on his cellphone.

A Campaign on Campus Accident Prevention and Protection
Last week, our school held a theme campaign on campus accident prevention and protection to raise students’ safety awareness.
The campaign included safety lectures and situational drills. Teachers explained common campus accidents and effective self-protection methods. We also practiced dealing with emergencies properly on site.
The activity benefited me a lot. I mastered practical safety skills and realized safety is the foundation of study and life. I will always keep safety in mind and help classmates avoid potential risks.

One day, in a class discussion, I caught Paul texting on his cellphone. Following the classroom rule, I reminded him gently of his obligation without blame. Looking a little embarrassed, Paul took out his phone and dialed his mother’s number. When his mom answered, he hesitated for a second and then said softly, “Mom, I love you.” There was a long silence on the phone before his mom replied with warm surprise and deep affection.
All students were touched after hearing Paul’s conversation with his mom. A warm and quiet atmosphere filled the classroom. Paul lowered his head, feeling ashamed of his careless behavior. From then on, no students played with cellphones in class. Instead, they focused on discussions and studies wholeheartedly. This special rule not only regulated classroom discipline but also reminded us to cherish family love and respect every class moment.
