Every year, millions of tourists flock to the ancient city of Xi'an, drawn by its rich history and cultural heritage. The Terracotta Army, discovered in 1974 by local farmers, remains one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century. But Xi'an offers far more than just this famous attraction.
The city's ancient city wall, built during the Ming Dynasty, is the bestpreserved city wall in China. Visitors can walk or rent bicycles along the top, enjoying panoramic views of the modern city blending with ancient architecture. Unlike the crowded Terracotta Army site, the wall provides a more relaxed experience, especially during sunset when the city lights begin to glow.
For food lovers, Xi'an's Muslim Quarter is a mustvisit destination. The vibrant street market dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Silk Road traders brought exotic spices and culinary traditions to the region. Today, visitors can sample local specialties like roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), yangrou paomo (bread soaked in lamb soup), and handpulled noodles. The aroma of cumin and chili fills the air as vendors compete for customers' attention.
History enthusiasts should not miss the Shaanxi History Museum, which houses over 370,000 artifacts spanning from the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. The museum's collection of Tang Dynasty gold and silver items is particularly remarkable, showcasing the extraordinary craftsmanship of ancient Chinese artists.
Whether you're fascinated by ancient history, eager to explore traditional cuisine, or simply looking for a unique travel experience, Xi'an offers something for everyone. The city's ability to preserve its past while embracing modernity makes it a truly unforgettable destination.

My grandmother was a woman of simple habits and profound wisdom. Growing up during the Great Depression, she learned to make the most of everything—a skill she carried with her throughout her life. When I was a teenager, I didn't fully appreciate her lessons. Now, as an adult, I realize those lessons shaped who I am today.
One summer, when I was sixteen, I spent a month living with my grandparents in their small rural town. I was bored at first—no highspeed internet, no shopping malls, no friends to hang out with. One afternoon, I complained to mygrandmother that I had nothing to do. She smiled and handed me a bag of green beans from her garden. "We'll make dinner together," she said.
As we sat on the porch, snapping beans, she told me stories about growing up during the Depression—how her family grew their own food, sewed their own clothes, and wasted absolutely nothing. "Back then," she said, "we didn't have a choice. But now, people waste so much because they've never had to do without."
She taught me to cook, to preserve fruits and vegetables, and to repair things instead of throwing them away. She also taught me to save money—not by being stingy, but by being intentional about what I spent on. "It's not about having less," she explained, "it's about knowing the value of what you have."
That summer changed me in ways I didn't realize until much later. My grandmother passed away three years ago, but her lessons remain. When I see a broken item that can be fixed, I fix it. When I buy groceries, I avoid packaging waste. And when I feel bored or restless, I remember that creativity is born out of limitation.
Her simple wisdom—that we should value what we have, waste less, and appreciate the small things—has become a guiding philosophy in my life.
24. What can we learn about the author's grandmother
A. She grew up in a wealthy family.
B. She valued resourcefulness and thrift.
C. She disliked modern technology.
D. She worked as a professional cook.
25. Why did the grandmother tell the author stories about the Depression
A. To entertain the author during the summer.
B. To teach the author about the value of things.
C. To convince the author to become a farmer.
D. To complain about the hardships of her youth.
26. What does the author mean by "creativity is born out of limitation"
A. People become creative when they can't afford to buy new things.
B. Great artists often come from poor backgrounds.
C. Boredom is the mother of all invention.
D. Having fewer resources pushes people to think creatively.
27. Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards her grandmother
A. Indifferent.
B. Grateful and admiring.
C. Critical yet affectionate.
D. Regretful and sorrowful.
C
In recent years, the concept of "forest bathing"—a term originally coined in Japan as shinrinyoku—has gained international attention as a simple yet powerful way to improve mental and physical health. Unlike hiking or exercising in nature, forest bathing involves slow, mindful walking through wooded areas, engaging all five senses with the surrounding environment.
Research supports the benefits of this practice. A 2022 study published in the Journal of Environmental Health found that participants who engaged in a twohour forest bathing session showed a 15% decrease in cortisol levels (a stress hormone) compared to those who spent the same time in urban settings. Blood pressure and heart rate variability also improved significantly. Furthermore, participants reported better mood and lower anxiety scores immediately following the session, with effects lasting up to one week.
The science behind forest bathing involves several factors. Trees release compounds called phytoncides—natural oils that protect them from insects and disease. When humans breathe in these compounds, studies suggest that they boost the immune system by increasing natural killer (NK) cell activity, which helps fight viral infections and even cancer. Additionally, the visual experience of greenery and natural patterns reduces activity in the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain associated with stress and overthinking.
Despite its growing popularity, forest bathing is not a cureall. Dr. Amanda Chen, a psychologist specializing in naturebased therapy, cautions that it should be seen as a complementary practice rather than a replacement for medical treatment. For people with severe mental health conditions, professional therapy remains essential. Still, for everyday stress and burnout, she recommends incorporating short, mindful nature walks into weekly routines.
Interestingly, the Japanese government has been promoting forest bathing as a public health strategy since the 1990s, designating over 60 official forests for this purpose. The practice has since spread to countries including South Korea, Finland, and the United States, where local organizations are creating designated forest therapy trails.
28. How does forest bathing differ from regular hiking
A. It requires physical endurance.
B. It emphasizes mindful sensory engagement.
C. It focuses on the speed of walking.
D. It is only practiced in Japan.
29. According to the 2022 study, what effect did forest bathing have on participants
A. They slept better for a full week.
B. Their cortisol levels dropped significantly.
C. They lost weight during the session.
D. Their blood pressure increased temporarily.
30. What do phytoncides help with when inhaled by humans
A. They reduce visual stress.
B. They lower blood pressure.
C. They strengthen the immune system.
D. They improve sleep quality.
31. What is Dr. Amanda Chen's view on forest bathing
A. It should replace traditional medical treatments.
B. It is only effective in Japanese forests.
C. It is a helpful addition to, not a substitute for, therapy.
D. It has no scientific evidence to support it.
D
The shift toward remote work, accelerated by the pandemic, has fundamentally changed how millions of people approach their careers. While some employees are eager to return to office life, many have discovered that working from home offers benefits they're reluctant to give up. Yet the reality is more nuanced than simple debate suggests.
For the employees, remote work offers greater flexibility and autonomy. Eliminating the daily commute saves time and reduces stress—commuters in major cities often save 60 to 90 minutes daily that can be redirected toward exercise, family, or personal pursuits. Furthermore, remote work allows for more focused, uninterrupted work blocks, a luxury often unavailable in openplan offices. A 2023 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 78% of remote workers reported higher job satisfaction compared to their prepandemic levels.
However, remote work comes with significant challenges. The blurring of boundaries between work and personal life has led to increased burnout. Without the physical separation of office and home, many employees report working longer hours, checking emails late into the evening, and feeling unable to mentally "clock out." In fact, studies show that remote employees work on average 35 extra hours per week than their officebased counterparts, countering initial expectations of shorter days.
For employers, the picture is equally complex. Remote work can reduce overhead costs, including office space and utilities, while simultaneously expanding the talent pool beyond geographic limits. However, challenges around team cohesion, communication, and oversight persist. Many managers report difficulty in maintaining company culture and facilitating spontaneous creativity—those informal exchanges that often spark innovation.
The future likely lies in hybrid models, where employees split time between home and office. Forwardthinking companies are redesigning office spaces to facilitate collaboration, rather than individual work—shifting from cubicles to meeting rooms and flexible lounges. Meanwhile, they're investing in digital tools to enhance virtual teamwork and establishing clear policies to protect worklife balance.
Ultimately, the future of work isn't about choosing between remote and office, but about thoughtfully combining the best of both to create sustainable, productive and humancentered workplaces.
32. What is a major advantage of remote work for employees according to the passage
A. It eliminates all workplace stress.
B. It saves commuting time and increases flexibility.
C. It guarantees higher salaries.
D. It provides better career advancement opportunities.
33. What concern about remote work is mentioned for managers
A. Higher office rental costs.
B. Difficulty maintaining company culture and spontaneous innovation.
C. Limited access to the global talent pool.
D. Increased employee turnover.
34. What does the author predict about the future of work
A. All companies will return to fulltime office work.
B. Remote work will completely replace office work.
C. Hybrid models combining home and office will become common.
D. Workers will choose their own hours regardless of company policy.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The history of remote work in the 21st century.
B. A balanced examination of remote work's benefits and drawbacks.
C. How technology has made remote work possible.
D. Why companies should force employees to return to offices.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Good study habits are essential for academic success. However, many students struggle to develop effective study routines, often falling into counterproductive patterns. ___36___
One of the most common mistakes is passive rereading. Many students believe that simply reading their notes or textbooks multiple times will help them remember information. However, research shows that this approach is one of the least effective study methods. ___37___ Instead, active recall—where students test themselves on the material without looking at it—has been proven to significantly improve retention.
Another crucial habit is managing your study environment. Your surroundings have a direct impact on concentration and productivity. ___38___ This means finding a quiet, welllit space free from distractions like phones, social media, and background television. Some students find that a change of scenery—such as moving from a bedroom desk to a library—can refresh their focus.
Planning and scheduling also make a tremendous difference. Successful students plan their study sessions in advance rather than waiting until the night before an exam. ___39___ Breaking large tasks into smaller, manageable chunks makes them less overwhelming and helps maintain motivation throughout longer study periods.
Finally, take care of your physical health. ___40___ Research consistently shows that sleep deprivation reduces memory consolidation and cognitive performance. Eating balanced meals and staying hydrated also contribute to mental clarity. Students who neglect these basic needs often find that their study efforts yield disappointing results.
A. Instead, they should create a timeline that spreads revision over several days
or weeks.
B. If you can’t focus in your current location, try moving to a different quiet space.
C. It doesn’t matter where you study as long as you do it for several hours every day.
D. By recognizing and adjusting these habits, students can make their study time much more effective.
E. Reading the same information repeatedly gives the brain the illusion of mastery without real understanding.
F. A quiet environment and comfortable temperature are essential for effective learning.
G. Lack of sleep, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can seriously harm memory and focus.

The holiday season brings out the best in some people. __54__ often, we hear about the stress and the crowds. But for me, that winter’s morning wasn’t about shopping or presents.

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 had always dreamed of becoming a pilot. Ever since I was five years old, I would stare up at the sky, watching planes trace white lines across the blue, imagining myself sitting in the cockpit, guiding thousands of passengers safely through the clouds. My room was covered with posters of aircraft, and I could name every commercial plane model by the age of ten.
But there was one problem: I was terrified of heights.
It was an embarrassing contradiction. How could someone who wanted to fly for a living be afraid of looking down from a tall building Every time I went to an observation deck, my legs would turn to jelly, and my heart would race uncontrollably. My friends laughed when I told them my dream. "A pilot who’s afraid of heights That’s like a chef who hates food!" they teased.
When I turned eighteen, I applied to the aviation academy anyway. My parents were supportive but concerned. "Are you sure about this, son " my father asked gently. "Being a pilot isn’t just about loving planes—it’s about being comfortable in the sky." I nodded firmly, though inside I was full of doubt.
The first week at the academy was overwhelming. On the third day, we were scheduled for our first training flight—a short lesson in a small Cessna aircraft.
As I walked toward the small plane on the tarmac, my palms were sweaty. The instructor, Captain Reynolds, a calm, experienced pilot with more than 20,000 flight hours, noticed my nervousness. "First time in a small plane " he asked. I nodded, unable to speak. He smiled and said, "I’ll be right there with you."
The plane took off smoothly, but as we climbed higher, my fear took over. I looked out the window and saw the ground falling away—the airport shrinking to a tiny patch, the cars becoming small dots, the buildings turning into toys. My breathing became shallow and fast. I gripped the armrest so tightly that my knuckles turned white. I wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
Captain Reynolds noticed immediately. He gently placed his hand on my shoulder and spoke calmly. "Look forward, not down. Focus on the horizon, not the ground. Tell me what you see."
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。
I forced myself to look straight ahead toward the horizon.

A year later, I completed my first solo flight.

第一节 应用文范文
Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you're working on your personal statement! Here are a few suggestions that might help.
First, be authentic. Universities want to know the real you—your passions, challenges, and growth. Don’t just list achievements; show what they reveal about your character. Second, focus on a few meaningful experiences rather than trying to cover everything. A clear, focused story is far more memorable than a long list of activities.
Finally, don’t worry too much—your dedication and unique perspective will shine through. I believe in you!
Best wishes with your application!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写范文
I forced myself to look straight ahead toward the horizon. The horizon line was steady—a thin strip of blue where the sky met the earth. As I focused on that distant line, my breathing gradually slowed. "Look at the instruments," Captain Reynolds continued, his voice calm. "Focus on what they tell you—altitude, speed, direction. The ground isn’t your concern right now." I began to read the dials, forcing my mind to work. By the end of the flight, my fear hadn’t disappeared entirely, but something important had shifted: I realized that controlling the plane gave me a sense of power that outweighed my fear. "You did well," Captain Reynolds said as we landed. "Fear is normal—it keeps you alert. But a pilot flies because he loves the sky more than he fears the fall."
