Sites on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List to Visit
Sligo Passage Tombs, Ireland
Located 125 miles northwest of Dublin, Sligo offers beautiful landscapes and Ireland’s largest cluster of prehistoric tombs. Over 100 stone burial chambers, some 5,000 years old, are scattered across the hills, with underground passages once believed to lead to a mythical underworld. The most dramatic is Queen Maeve’s tomb atop Knocknarea Mountain. Both Keshcorran and Carrowkeel are free to visit — just a 10- to 20-minute walk from parking lots.
Cape York Peninsula, Australia
Covering over 45,000 square miles of rainforest and wetlands, Australia’s northernmost region features 20,000-year-old rock art created by Indigenous Australians, one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. The peninsula is home to only 17,000 people — more than half of whom are Indigenous. It begins about 100 miles north of Cairns, where visitors can rent a car or fly to small communities.
Real Felipe Fortress, Peru
Ten miles west of Lima, this seaside fortress was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake as a five-sided fort with a moat and a mile-long stone wall. Tourists can explore its 24-acre grounds and two military museums, and enjoy views of the sea where Spanish ships once retreated. The fortress witnessed Peru’s final victory over Spain in 1826 and is open daily, with guided tours available.
Gcwihaba Caves, Botswana
Burrowed into the Aha Hills near the Namibian border, these six cave systems contain fossils and rock formations over two million years old — possibly the richest in southern Africa. A 630-mile drive from Gaborone requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Inside, bats fill dark chambers; outside, visitors may spot rare trees and geckos. The caves are best visited in the dry season.
21. Which site can visitors tour with a guide
A. Real Felipe Fortress. B. Cape York Peninsula.
C. Sligo Passage Tombs. D. Gcwihaba Caves.
22. What do we know about Cape York Peninsula
A. It is heavily populated. B. It is located south of Cairns.
C. It is known for ancient rock art. D. It has underground passages.
23. What is special about visiting the Gcwihaba Caves
A. Free entry is offered. B. A short walk is needed.
C. A sea view is provided. D. A visit in the dry season is recommended.
B
Steve Clark, 45, a musician from Surrey, battled a fear of swimming for most of his life. As a child, he never took to the water. “It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says.
One bad experience when he was on a business trip in his twenties set Clark back even further. He decided to take a dip in a hotel pool, thinking that it wouldn’t be that difficult. This led to a panic moment after he lost his footing in the deep end of the pool. “I was extremely scared that I couldn’t swim,” he says.
But in 2014 Clark decided to take the plunge — after all, he was “running out of excuses” not to. Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. “It was difficult to start with. My main fear was putting my head under the water, but the instructors taught me a technique to help. Once I learnt how to do it, it got me over the fear,” he says. The swimming lessons allowed him to participate in something that always felt impossible.
Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. A study in 2018 by Columbia University found that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people.
“We used to think of getting older as a loss: a time when we lose skills and lose our looks. But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable,” says Linda Blair,
a psychologist. She explains that learning skills can help to keep our brains young. “The brain is like a muscle, so when you learn something new, you’re exercising it and getting better blood flow to the brain. You’re also reestablishing connections; you don’t have to lose a skill forever, you can regain it.”
24. What initially bothered Clark according to the passage
A. His panic in a hotel pool. B. His inability to enjoy swimming.
C. His failure in a business trip. D. His lack of encouragement.
25. What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Accept the fact. B. Realize his dream. C. Avoid the risk. D. Have a go.
26. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Being old does not necessarily mean losing skills.
B. People can easily learn new skills at any stage of life.
C. Building up muscles can help blood flow into the brain.
D. Seniors can produce as many new brain cells as youths.
27. What does Clark’s experience show
A. No pains, no gains. B. Every dog has its day.
C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Practice makes perfect.
C
Dreams seem to occur at random, from everyday situations to unpredictable experiences. Now, a new study shows that our personal features as well as real-life events actually shape what we dream about, creating patterns in our subconsciousness (潜意识).
The study, published in Communications Psychology, analyzed thousands of dream and waking experience reports collected over four years. The researchers used natural language processing tools to quantify the structure of dreams. They found that personal features like how often someone daydreams, their attitudes about dreams, and their sleep quality all influence dream content.
Researchers noticed that dreams don’t simply replay scenes from our daily lives. Instead, dreams seem to mix familiar places like workplaces, hospitals, and schools into new scenes that blend memories with imagination. The reported dreams tended to focus more on visual details, feature more characters, and make less logical sense. They were also less self-focused and less driven by conscious thinking.
These dream transformations weren’t the same for everyone. Participants who spent more time daydreaming during the day tended to have dreams that jumped rapidly from one scene to another. Those who placed more importance on dreams described them as more vivid and immersive. Sleep quality also played a role.
The team used three large language models, LLMA 3, ChatGPT-4, and ChatGPT-4 Turbo, to rate dream reports on 16 different features, such as mood, strangeness and freedom of movement. “By combining large-scale data with computational methods, we were able to uncover patterns in dream contents that were previously difficult to find,” Elce said. “This opens new possibilities for studying consciousness, memory, and mental health in a better way.”
28. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. Life event tracking. B. Sleep observation. C. Personal surveys. D. Data analysis.
29. Which of the following best describes the nature of the dream
A. Creative. B. Conscious. C. Realistic. D. Repetitive.
30. What is the main advantage of the language models
A. Increasing the number of dream features. B. Identifying the structures of various dreams.
C. Simplifying more personal dream reports. D. Enhancing the accuracy of human brains.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. To Control Dreams, Control Your Day B. Better Sleep Creates Better Dreaming
C. Dreams Are the Mind’s Hidden Patterns D. AI Now Fully Understands Our dreams
D
Chinese brands are rapidly expanding globally, from Pop Mart’s cute collectibles to TikTok’s viral influence and Luckin Coffee’s budget-friendly drinks. As China moves up the value chain, its soft power grows, though sustainability challenges remain. The long-standing narrative of “made in China, designed elsewhere” is undergoing a profound change.
Pop Mart, which started with a single Beijing store a decade ago, now operates outlets across the US. Since 2024, its annual income has more than tripled, with overall sales surging 250%. As a flagship cultural export, TikTok ranks among America’s top five social media platforms, boasting over 170 million monthly active users and exposing young Americans to Chinese pop culture, traditional craftsmanship and daily life through short videos. Luckin Coffee, China’s largest coffee chain, outperformed Starbucks in sales income and is now expanding in the US by adapting its menu to local tastes and focusing on high-foot-traffic urban areas.
These brands’ global successes are often supported by government initiatives, as China aims to expand its international influence through enterprises blending innovation and cultural
connotations(内涵).
However, significant challenges persist. TikTok has faced intense reviews over data privacy in Western countries, while Pop Mart confronts pressures over packaging waste. For some Chinese e-commerce platforms, user retention rates(用户留存率) remain lower than Amazon’s 93% in the US, as they struggle to compete with local rivals’ personalized services.
Despite these obstacles, Chinese brands have firmly established their global presence. As a natural outcome of China’s economic upgrading, their international expansion integrates more Chinese products and services into global daily life—fostering the nation’s soft power and reshaping “Chinese brands” as innovative, trustworthy and culturally resonant.
32. What’s the relationship between the first two paragraphs
A. Topic and examples. B. Cause and effect.
C. Problem and solution. D. Conception and explanation.
33. Why does Chinese government support the global expansion of these brands
A. To reduce domestic market pressure. B. To promote international status.
C. To beat foreign brands in competition. D. To tackle oversea sustainability challenges.
34. What challenge do some Chinese e-commerce platforms face in the US
A. Strict data reviews. B. Low user retention rates.
C. Severe packaging waste. D. Poor cultural integration.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Official initiatives guarantee Chinese brands’ success.
B. Chinese brands are facing oversea challenges.
C. TikTok and Luckin Coffee are great hits in the US.
D. Chinese brands are expanding globally.

How to Overcome Depression
Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily life. To overcome your depression, you have to first determine whether what you’re feeling are the signs of it. 36 While medications can help relieve these symptoms, it is still necessary for depressed
people to understand the disorder and develop healthier strategies for coping with it.
Keep yourself occupied. Fill your schedule with events and activities you love. Keeping a packed schedule will force you to stay active, focused, and thinking about the next thing on your list. You can draw up a schedule for each day at the start of the week, or simply plan out each day the night before. 37
Optimize(优化) your eating pattern. 38 Even if you’re losing your appetite, you should be resolved to eat three meals daily. You don’t need to try to lose weight or be incredibly health conscious when you’re dealing with your depression, but eating wholesome food regularly will improve your mental and physical state.
Being a more optimistic individual will enable you to view your life and the world in a way that fills you with hope rather than despair, so try to cultivate a positive mindset. To think more positively, you should learn how to identify your negative thoughts and combat them with solid positive ones whenever possible. For a jump-start, list at least five things to be thankful for. 39
40 Neglecting personal hygiene (卫生) is a typical side effect of depression. While you will not defeat your depression merely by transforming your looks, taking time daily to keep up your external image and personal cleanliness will gradually boost your self-esteem. Form good daily habits of bathing, dental protection and hair maintenance.
A．Maintaining consistent meals helps regulate mood and energy.
B．A regular daily routine works wonders for your mental health.
C．How you look on the outside affects how you feel on the inside.
D．Whichever method you choose, make a goal of sticking to it.
E．Then remember to stay mindful and grateful every single day.
F．Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.
G．If you are feeling blue, lonely, or worthless, you may be suffering from depression.

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 was backpacking and planned to climb a volcano called Baru Volcano. At 3,474 meters, it is
the only place on Earth where you can see the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans at the same time.
I set off before sunrise. It was a little cold, so I had pulled on tights under my trousers. I intended to reach the top by midday, and then return before dark to get a lift to my hotel. I always felt safe travelling as a woman on my own, which I’d done since my 20s. I love the freedom. When I got to the base of the volcano at 7 in the morning, the ranger（护林员）refused to let me go alone, but said
OK because an American couple was behind me.
The first part of the climb was beautiful. It was not dry as you might imagine a volcano might be—there were trees and flowers all around, and a dirt road for the farmers who worked around there. I walked for an hour and reached a fair height. The views were impressive, so I stopped to take a
photograph.
Suddenly I heard violent barking behind me. I turned and saw two dogs running aggressively towards me. I expected them to stop, but they didn’t. As they got closer, I could see their teeth looked sharp, and that they looked angry. There was nowhere for me to run. I tried to keep calm, but my heart raced. I’d never been bitten by a dog, and I couldn’t help but fear what would happen. They stopped a dozen feet from where I stood and kept barking. I knew they could move fast, so I didn’t
want to try to outrun them.

Terrified, I slowly kept walking, saying, “Come on, good dogs!”（衔接1）The dogs continued to bark and growl as if they wanted to swallow me.（过渡句）My heart pounded violently in my chest. Afraid of being attacked at any moment, I struggled to remain calm and tried to think of a way to defend myself if necessary. Suddenly, my backpack came to my mind, which could be used as a barrier.（衔接2）However, as I reached for it, one of the dogs aggressively rushed at me.
Just at this critical moment, a pickup(皮卡车) appeared, driven by the ranger.（衔接3）Seeing the state I was in, he immediately honked his horn, scaring the dogs away.（过渡句）I breathed a deep sigh of relief as I watched the dogs disappear into the distance. Without the ranger’s rescue, things could have turned out much worse. I extended my sincere gratitude to him, as he earnestly reminded me that safety came first while travelling.（尾句感悟）I was much more cautious as I continued my climb up the volcano. After all, nothing is more precious than life.

(17) (18) This is due to poor weather conditions caused by Hurricane Tara, (18) currently affecting the east coast of the U.S. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Affected passengers should contact the Customer Help Desk. Here, you will be provided with an overnight stay at one of London Heathrow’s hotels. (19) (20) And you will be booked onto new flights as soon as we are cleared to fly. Passengers wishing to cancel and get their money back should speak directly to their individual airlines. They will be able to organize this. I’m also afraid that Flight HK648 to Hong Kong is running two hours late. This is because of the high levels of air pollution caused by the Icelandic volcano. We ask for your patience and understanding as we try to deal with these matters. Please listen out for further updates.
