Traveling in Scandinavia on a Budget
While Scandinavia is famous for breathtaking nature and high living standards, it also has a reputation for being expensive, largely due to high taxes that fund excellent public services. However, with smart planning, visiting Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden can be surprisingly affordable. The key is to prepare wisely, prioritize experiences over luxury, and make full use of local resources and systems designed for efficiency. Invest in a good guidebook
A reliable guidebook is an essential first investment for budget travel. Trusted brands like Lonely Planet or Rick Steves’ Europe offer well - researched recommendations for activities, dining, and walking tours suitable for all budgets. They provide practical maps, historical context, and local tips that are particularly valuable in navigating pricey destinations. Today, many also offer digital versions or apps, making on - the - go planning easier. These guides empower travelers to make informed choices, saving money while enriching their overall experience.
Skip the rental car (and book early)
Instead of costly car rentals, use Scandinavia excellent and reliable public transportation. The Eurail Scandinavia Pass allows flexible train travel across multiple countries. A smart tip is to take overnight trains, which save on a night’s accommodation and add an adventurous element to your journey. For even lower costs, buses are comfortable and well - equipped. Within urban areas, efficient bike - share systems and extensive bike lanes offer a healthy, inexpensive, and immersive way to explore like a local. Take advantage of free city culture
A major advantage for visitors is the wealth of free cultural offerings. Many top museums, historic cathedrals, and public markets offer free entry on certain days or year - round. Simply walking through historic districts, visiting public parks, or enjoying coastal viewpoints costs nothing. For multi - day city stays, a tourist pass like the Oslo Pass is highly cost - effective, typically including free museum entry, public transport, walking tours, discounts on sightseeing, concert tickets and ski rentals, and special offers in restaurants, shops, entertainment and leisure venues.
While Scandinavia may never be considered cheap, its wonders are accessible with careful planning. By using trusted guidebooks, choosing public transport over cars, and actively seeking free attractions or value - packed city passes, travelers can deeply experience the regions beauty and culture without financial strain. A memorable and fulfilling Scandinavian adventure is well within reach on a sensible, well - researched budget.
21. What is a reason suggested in the text for using a good guidebook in Scandinavia
A. It helps to rent a car at a lower price.
B. It provides free tickets to museums.
C. It offers budget - friendly dining recommendations.
D. It includes digital versions of public transportation passes.
22. According to the passage, what is one advantage of taking an overnight train in Scandinavia
A. It includes flexible train travels.
B. It allows skipping paying for a hotel.
C. It is comfortable and well - equipped.
D. It offers guided tours along the way.
23. Which benefit is NOT mentioned about the Oslo Pass in the text
A. Free access to museums. B. Discounts on ski rentals.
C. Free rental car for one day. D. Free travel on public transport.

Wei Yujie is not an ordinary teacher at the Taiyuan School for the Deaf in Shanxi Province. Once the lead dancer of the globally acclaimed dance, Thousand - Hand Bodhisattva, she has now exchanged grand international stages for the classrooms of her alma mater (母校).
As a child with profound hearing loss, Wei discovered the magic of dance at this very school. The 2005 Spring Festival Gala performance of Thousand - Hand Bodhisattva ignited a spark within her, a desire to express herself and touch hearts through movement. Her talent led her to represent Shanxi in a national competition, after which she was selected as the second - generation lead dancer for the China Disabled People's Performing Arts Troupe.
For 11 years, she performed with the troupe, gracing major events like the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and the 2014 APEC Summit in over 40 countries. In 2016, she retired from the troupe and returned to Taiyuan to teach at the school that had nurtured her dream. “I have received so much encouragement and love,” Wei says. “I want to dedicate what I have learned to these children.”
Understanding that teaching deaf children wasn't just about dance techniques, Wei focused on fostering their self - confidence and showing them the joy and beauty that dance could unlock. She innovated her teaching methods, tailoring her approach to each student's individual needs and emphasizing teamwork. In her dance Steaming Happiness, where she depicted a grandmother making a local noodle dish, she aimed to share Shanxi's food culture and showcase the vitality of rural life.
“Teachers are guides who lead students to realize their dreams,” she stated. “I hope to create a brighter future for the deaf children here.” Beyond teaching, Wei actively supports the deaf community as a member of the Taiyuan Youth Federation and president of the local Deaf Association, promoting employment rights and sign language education.
For Wei, dance is a powerful language—a bridge between the silent world and the world of expression, conveying passion, love for life, and dedication. “In my eyes, these children are angels,” she said. “I want them to shine on stage and show the world their incredible light.”
24. Which event inspired Wei Yujie’s dream of becoming a dancer
A. Her diagnosis with profound hearing loss at a very young age.
B. Performing with the troupe in some major events like the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
C. The performance of Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva in 2005 Spring Festival Gala.
D. Participating in a national competition on behalf of Shanxi.
25. Why did Wei Yujie return to the Taiyuan School for the Deaf in 2016
A. To teach and devote what she had learned to the children.
B. To perform a new dance called Steaming Happiness.
C. To become the president of the local Deaf Association.
D. To recruit dancers for the China Disabled People’s Performing Arts Troupe.
26. What can be inferred from Wei Yujie’s teaching methods and her dance Steaming Happiness
A. She values technical skills more than cultural expression.
B. She sees professional success as the main goal for her students.
C. She believes art for deaf students is fundamentally different.
D. She combines cultural expression with building confidence.
27. Which of the following best describes Wei Yujie
A. Ambitious and self - centered. B. Grateful and committed.
C. Tolerant and kind - hearted. D. Persistent and considerate.
C
When it comes to getting ahead, is IQ or EQ more important There are tons of studies that weigh in on the question, using a wide range of approaches, but according to Joseph Henrich, a professor of human biology at Harvard, who studies how cultures evolve, a little bit of math can settle the question once and for all.
Henrich’s insight comes from his book The Secret of Success. In an interesting thought experiment, he imagines two contrasting societies. The first is populated by “Geniuses”, individuals of extraordinary intelligence. However, their cognitive brilliance comes at a social cost—they are awkward and each has only one friend. The second society consists of “Butterflies”. While far less intelligent—taking vastly longer to make a breakthrough—they are highly sociable, with each Butterfly having ten friends.
The experiment models how innovation spreads. Individuals can either discover something new themselves or learn it from a friend, though learning from others is assumed to be only 50% effective. The results are striking. Despite their superior individual creativity, fewer than one in five Geniuses (18%) ultimately possess the new innovation. Conversely, an overwhelming 99.9% of Butterflies come to know it, though only 0.1% figured it out on their own. This dramatic difference highlights a
powerful truth: a strong, interconnected social network is a far more effective engine for spreading knowledge and progress than a collection of isolated, brilliant minds. This insight has direct implications for building effective teams and organizations. While intelligent "Geniuses" are essential for generating original ideas, a team composed solely of them may struggle. Their ideas often remain confined, failing to gain notice or be adopted by others. Therefore, organizations should pair such brilliant thinkers with "Butterflies"—socially attuned individuals who excel at communication, connection, and rapidly adopting and disseminating successful practices from those around them.
While individual intelligence (IQ) is undoubtedly valuable for creating new concepts, the experiment demonstrates that collective achievement depends heavily on the social fabric that binds a group together. For a team or society to truly thrive and propagate ideas, the connective power of social skills (EQ) proves to be ultimately more critical than raw cognitive horsepower alone.
28. How did Harvard professor Joseph Henrich conduct his thought experiment
A. By quoting the conclusion of the previous researches.
B. By analyzing the statistics collected in former experiment.
C. By listing the causes and effects of the debate.
D. By comparing the results of two different groups.
29. What can be inferred from the results of the experiment
A. Individual intelligence is useless in a group setting.
B. Having more friends guarantees personal success.
C. The speed and scale of learning are enhanced by social networks.
D. Geniuses are not interested in learning from others.
30. Based on the article's advice for building a team, what is the likely outcome of having only "Geniuses" in an organization
A. Many brilliant ideas will be generated and spread quickly.
B. Ideas may be created but fail to gain recognition within the group.
C. The organization will become the most innovative in its field.
D. Team members will develop stronger social skills over time.
31. What is the author's overall attitude towards the role of EQ compared to IQ in achieving group success
A. IQ-prioritized. B. Neutral. C. EQ-focused. D. Uncertain.
D
As global temperatures rise and there's a seemingly endless series of climate disasters, it is natural to look to technology as a solution. From carbon capture to geo-engineering, green innovations are frequently considered as the way to resolve our continued reliance on fossil fuels.
But in our eagerness for silver bullets, we may focus too much on potential benefits while ignoring many of the negative effects or drawbacks. A 2022 essay in Nature argues that many of these technologies are often overpromoted and don't include the significant associated challenges, costs and unintended consequences. For instance, discussions of EVs and their required batteries usually don't address the harmful extraction of necessary minerals like silicon, lithium and cobalt.
A more practical type of climate innovation that can have real impact now doesn't promote technical fixes and instead focuses on rethinking a company's operations, including its use of materials and redesign of supply chains. Sustainability must start with product design. Studies have shown that 70 – 80% of a product's environmental impact is determined during the design phase.
For instance, an analysis at Chloé revealed that 80% of its sustainability challenges, with 58% of emissions from raw materials, could be "solved at the design table." This led them to use lower - impact materials like linen and increase recycled content. Seventh Generation is a typical example of this by fundamentally rethinking products. A key initiative is reducing water usage in products, which cuts shipping weight and plastic packaging.
Thus, instead of merely striving to "do less harm" to the environment, which results in gradual changes, companies must take holistic views of their products—starting with design. They must recognize that true impact lies not just in isolated efficiencies or technological innovations but in reimagining supply chains, production and business models to contribute positively to the planet and society.
32. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. The high cost of developing green technologies.
B. The public's lack of awareness about climate change.
C. An overemphasis on technological fixes to environmental problems.
D. The failure of international cooperation in environmental protection.
33. Why are the examples of Chloé and Seventh Generation mentioned
A. To contrast their different approaches to material use.
B. To illustrate how companies can tackle sustainability at the design stage.
C. To analyze which industry has a greater environmental impact.
D. To predict the future trend of sustainable packaging in retail.
34. What does the word "holistic" underlined in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Profitable. B. Independent. C. Innovative. D. Comprehensive.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Rethinking Greener Design for Real Impact.
B. Case Studies in Corporate Sustainability.
C. The Risks of High - Tech Climate Solutions.
D. How to Build an Eco - Friendly Supply Chain.

We've all heard that successful people often have morning routines. But why is that
A consistent morning routine can set the tone for your entire day, providing structure and a sense of control. If you're looking to build your own, here are some key considerations.
Firstly, start small and be realistic. 36 Don't commit to an hour of meditation and a 5k run if you're not a morning person. Instead, begin with a 5 - minute meditation or a 10 - minute walk. Small successes build momentum and make the routine stick.
37 Our brains have a limited capacity for decision - making. By automating your morning, you conserve mental energy for more important tasks later in the day. Think of it as putting your morning on autopilot.
Thirdly, tailor it to your goals. Your routine should reflect what you want to achieve. If you want to be more mindful, include journaling or meditation. 38 This ensures your routine is personally meaningful and motivating.
Another crucial aspect is preparing the night before. 39 Lay out your clothes, prepare your breakfast ingredients, and make a to - do list for the next day. This reduces friction in the morning and makes it easier to follow through with your plans.
Finally, be consistent but flexible. The goal is to do your routine most days, not perfectly every day. Life happens. If you miss a day or have to shorten it, don't be discouraged. 40 The benefits come from the long - term practice, not daily perfection.
A well - crafted morning routine is a powerful tool for cultivating focus, productivity, and well - being.
A. Secondly, reduce decision fatigue by automating your morning.
B. Just get back on track the following day.
C. It's tempting to create an ambitious plan.
D. Different people have different preferences.
E. If fitness is a priority, incorporate exercise.
F. A good night's sleep is the foundation of a productive morning.
G. This includes small tasks that can make your morning smoother.

It was a cold, rainy afternoon, I was waiting for the bus, lost in thought. An elderly man, slightly hunched (驼背的), stood nearby, holding a worn - out umbrella.
When the bus 41 arrived, we boarded. I found a seat, and he sat across the aisle.

A conversation ensued. His name was Mr. Anderson, and he lived alone. His children had 44 to different cities for work. He talked about his late wife and how she used to 45 all these things. There was a hint of loneliness in his voice, but also a great deal of courage.
When his stop was approaching, I offered to 46 him to the pharmacy (药店). He initially refused, 47 he didn't want to be a burden, but I insisted. The rain had
intensified. We 48 my umbrella and walked slowly. At the pharmacy, I helped him 49 the medication and confirmed the instructions with the pharmacist. When everything was 50 , he turned to me, his eyes moist. He grasped my hand and said, "Thank you, young lady. You've not only helped me with my medicine but also 51 my faith in the kindness of strangers." His words touched me deeply. It was a simple 52 , taking maybe twenty minutes of my time, but it meant the world to him.
That day, I learned that compassion isn't about grand 53 . It's about the small, often 54 acts of kindness we can offer to those around us. It's about seeing a need and choosing to 55 . Mr. Anderson reminded me that in our fast - paced world, human connection is what truly matters.

The creation of green spaces in cities, a practice 56 (gain) popularity worldwide, is far more than just 57 aesthetic(美学的) choice. These areas, 58 range from large parks to small community gardens, provide immense ecological and social benefits.
One of the most significant advantages is their ability 59 improve public health.

The old, leather - bound diary lay hidden at the bottom of a dusty box in the attic(阁楼). Fifteen - year - old Mia was about to give up her search for Christmas decorations when her fingers brushed against its rough, grainy surface. Curious, she opened it. The yellowish pages were filled with elegant handwriting that spoke of another time. It was her grandmother’s diary, dating back to when she was a teenager herself.
Mia sat on the dusty floor and began to read, completely absorbed by the words. The entries vividly described her grandmother, Clara’s, dreams of becoming a painter, a secret she had never shared with anyone in the family. Clara wrote about her favorite hidden spot by the lake, where she would sketch for hours, and her fear that her practical family would never understand her artistic passion. The last entry was particularly poignant: “I have decided to hide my paintings and my dreams away. Perhaps one day, someone will find them and understand.”
Mia was deeply moved. She had always known her grandmother as a kind, quiet woman who had worked in a bakery her whole life. The vibrant, ambitious girl in the diary was a stranger. A sharp, sweet ache filled Mia’s chest. In the attic’s silent dust, the final diary entry felt like a direct, quiet call meant just for her. She closed the diary gently, her mind already mapping the attic’s shadowy corners. At that moment, Mia knew what she had to do next.
She spent the following two days turning the attic upside down—moved old boxes, checked behind furniture, and looking through ever corner—determined to find Clara’s hidden paintings. The attic was full of memories, and Mia felt as if she was getting close to her grandmother with every step she took. 注意:续写词数应为 150 左右.
Paragraph 1:
Finally, behind a loose board in the attic wall, Mia discovered a stack of canvases.
Paragraph 2:
On Christmas morning, the family gathered in the living room.

Paragraph 1:
Finally, behind a loose board in the attic wall, Mia discovered a stack of canvases. Her heart raced as she carefully pulled them out. The paintings, though dusty, were vibrant—scenes of the lake, sunsets, and portraits filled with emotion. Each stroke told a story of a young girl’s unspoken dreams. Mia wiped away a tear, feeling as if she had finally met the real Clara. She decided then and there that these paintings would not stay hidden any longer.
Paragraph 2:
On Christmas morning, the family gathered in the living room. After exchanging gifts, Mia stood up nervously. “I have one more gift for Grandma,” she said. She unveiled the restored paintings, now framed and hung along the wall. Clara’s eyes widened, then filled with tears. “I thought I’d lost these forever,” she whispered, touching a painting of the lake. The room fell silent, then erupted in applause. That Christmas, Clara’s long - hidden art became her family’s most cherished treasure, and Mia learned that some dreams are only waiting to be found.
