One of the most rewarding ways to plan a trip is by building it around a specific event connected to a deep passion. Here are some unmissable events worth travelling for 2024.
International Kite Festival—Gujarat, India
Kite-makers from around the world launch their creations at this cheering celebration of the return of sunshine after winter. You’ll enjoy traditional styles from Japanese rokkaku to Malaysian wau bulan. Locals and visitors get involved, too—so bring your kids and join in. The festival takes place in Ahmedabad, Gujarat’s largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage city.
Ride Africa Kenya—Rift Valley, Kenya
Wheeling from Lake Nakuru to Maasai Mara, this 310-mile, seven-day route takes up to 60 cyclists through Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate and Narok. It’s held to raise funds for the Child.org Charity, which supports newborns’ care in the country. Run in combination with the Kenyan Wildlife Service, the event includes a large number of animal sightings.
Jungle UItra—Manú National Park, Peru.
With racers facing 143 miles of dense Amazon rainforest-and even denser heat and humidity-this is among the toughest ultra-marathons. Passing such terrain (地形) demands determination, but the friendship and trust of the trail team will keep you going. Peru’s four-million-acre national park comprises diverse tropical habitats.
Lakia-Jukola Relay—Kauhava, Finland
This is one for old-school hikers as your team of six needs solid map-reading and compass navigation skills for the overnight. It’s among the world’s most celebrated challenges, during which you will enjoy Finland’s most dramatic scenery. Sign up for the later legs to see in the sunrise.

On the busy streets of Shanghai, I encountered a dynamic display of culture that would forever shape my dance journey.
It was in 2019, when I first arrived at Donghua University in Shanghai, that I discovered a local park filled with elderly people dancing in the early morning. It quickly became my favorite spot. I’d bring my coffee, watching them enjoy the rhythm of the music. There, no one judges you for a misstep or for not keeping up with the rhythm, You simply dance and enjoy the moment. It’s fascinating to see experienced dancers leading, while newcomers observe, learn, and eventually join in, just like me.
Yet, my love for dance began at a very young age in Uzbekistan, where I was born and raised. Throughout my school years and later in college, I actively participated in a wide range of dances, among which my favorite is the Andijan Polka, a lively Uzbek folk dance that combines energetic movements with entertaining components. When I first arrived in China, I had the privilege of showcasing this dance at a cultural event for international students. It left a lasting impression. Later, at Donghua University, I eagerly joined a dance club, learning new dance forms and participating in university events.
However, outside the campus, I often found myself wandering into the park, where this public activity, square dancing, goes beyond age and background, offering an antidote (解药) to the loneliness and physical inactivity that often accompanies aging. It was a heartwarming vibrancy (活力) of modern Chinese society: older people and retired people gather, not just to exercise, but to socialize and form new connections.
These two worlds－ the vibrant public dancing in China and the rich Uzbek dance tradition －have profoundly shaped my life and brought me boundless joy, which continues to be the rhythm of my life. In every step and movement, I find a connection to the diverse world of dance and a celebration of the universal language of joy, movement, and connection.

A sleeping animal cannot look for food or flee from danger. But the fact that sleep is widespread among animals shows its restorative powers are essential. Some animals, though, try to have their cake and eat it. Dolphins and ducks sleep with half their brains, leaving the other half on guard. A paper in Science by Dr Le reports another innovative workaround. Chinstrap penguins take their sleep in thousands of naps, tiny micro- sleeps-or at least when they are nesting.
Chinstraps sleep with either their whole brain or just one half. Data confirmed they sleep in the ocean or on land. Ducks sleep in long periods, while the penguins nod of for several seconds at a time, hundreds of times an hour. The naps average 4 seconds in length; 72% lasted less than 10 seconds. Micro-sleeps aren’t unknown. Exhausted humans, like jet-lagged (倒时差) tourists and parents of newborn babies, can experience them. Totaling the duration, the researchers concluded Chinstraps get around 12 hours of sleep daily.
Two explanations are given for Chinstraps’ sleep pattern. The first is to do with external threats. Penguins hatch eggs alone while their partners are away seeking for food. Colonies (领地) are threatened by big birds that’ll steal unattended eggs. Broken sleep is a clever strategy of getting some shut-eye during long egg-guarding periods.
Penguins with nests near the edge of the colony are at greater risk than those in the centre, but enjoy more extended naps. The second is threats from within, as penguin colonies are noisy, crowded places. They steal nesting materials from careless neighbors, so penguins in the crime-ridden centre find it harder to sleep than those in the safer suburbs.
Choosing between those theories requires more research. Dr Lee said, “Nor can we measure how restorative such naps are. Chinstraps are evidently able to hatch their young under such conditions, which suggests they’re getting something from their constant nodding-off. So, humans nurturing their newborns should take heart.”
8. Why do dolphins and ducks sleep with only one side of their brains
A. To enjoy their cake. B. To establish a nice nest.
C. To be watchful during naps. D. To obtain high-quality sleep.
9. What does Chinstraps’ sleep pattern feature
A. Engaging in numerous naps a day. B. Sleeping nowhere beyond the ocean.
C. Ranging from 4 seconds to 12 hours. D. Always sleeping with the entire brain.
10. What can be inferred from the explanations in paragraph 3
A. Penguins live safely in natural colonies. B. Penguins encounter a variety of challenges.
C. Penguins hatch their eggs away from colony. D. Penguins at the core of the colony sleep longer.
11. What does Dr Lee think of Chinstraps’ micro-naps
A. Their duration is hard to detect. B. They distract the restorative effects.
C. Adopting them aids human newborns. D. Taking this sleep mode favors penguins.
D
Claire has worked at a major London-based consulting firm for six years. She enjoys her job and earns a comfortable salary, but recently, she’s started to feel restless about the future of her career. The reason: artificial intelligence.
In recent years, as headlines about robots stealing human jobs have ballooned, some workers report starting to feel anxious about their futures in the labour market. Generative OpenAI’s ChatGPT broke out seemingly overnight, creating continuing uncertainty for workers.
Carolyn Montrose, a career coach and lecturer at Columbia University, acknowledges the pace of technological innovation can be scary. “It is normal to feel anxious about the impact of AI, but workers don’t necessarily have to feel dread. Instead of shying away from AI, employees must lean into the technology to progress alongside these advancements by learning and using it to their advantage.”
Historically, this isn’t the first time we have encountered industry disruptions-from automation and manufacturing to e-commerce-we have found ways to adapt. Indeed, the introduction of new technology has often been unnerving for some people, but Montrose explains that plenty good has come from past new developments: technological change has always been a key push for society’s advancement.
Although some anxiety is justified, it may not be time to hit the panic button yet. Some research has shown fears of robots taking over human jobs might be overblown. The truth was that not only are robots not replacing human workers at the rate most people believe, but they also misunderstand the rate at which automation tools are taking over. While some new technologies would likely be adopted without considering all implications, that a technology can be used for something does not mean it will be implemented (实施).
“Humans will always have a role to play in business by performing the important work that robots cannot. This kind of work typically requires inborn human qualities, such as relationship building, creativity and emotional intelligence,” emphasizes Stefanie Coleman, a senior business advisor. “Recognizing the unique value of humans is an important step in navigating the fears surrounding this topic.
12 What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Claire
A. A recognition for the power of AI. B. A well-paid post Claire can so easily land.
C. Workers’ concern about future employment. D. The convenience AI has brought to employees.
13. What does Montrose suggest in paragraph 3
A. Acknowledge and embrace the new. B. Stay away from ChatGPT and the like.
C. Ignore AI’s existence for the time being. D. Feel uncomfortable with new technology.
14. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Disorders. B. Revolutions. C. Suspensions. D. Products.
15. Why are humans irreplaceable according to Stefanie Coleman
A. Robots are too costly. B. AI has been unreliable.
C. AI is not advanced enough. D. Humans have unique qualities.

47. 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。
My two-year-old daughter was lovingly squished(挤) between a stack of groceries in one of my two shopping carts. Shopping once a month was a well-planned process. My list was organized so that I wouldn’t miss even one item. I knew the aisle, order, and cost of each item.
A gentleman in a suit stood behind me with three items in his hads. He looked up at his watch, then at me and smiled. I’d already let a person ahead of me with a single item. While my daughter was behaving well, I knew I’d pushed her longer than her endurance promised to last. Still, I felt for the man; he obviously had to be somewhere, and he’d be behind me a good long time.
“Why don’t you go ahead of me ” I said shifting the cart backwards. “You only have a couple of items.
“Thank you,” he replied appreciatively, stepping ahead of me.
My daughter gave him a broad smile. “Heh wo,” she said in her sweetest voice.
“Hello,” he replied, taken off guard by her friendliness. His face lit with pleasure.
As the belt moved forward, I started unloading my cart. His few items were ahead of mine separated by a red marker with the store name on it. I was only halfway finished unloading the first cart when a realization hit me. My husband had borrowed my bank card the night before and I couldn’t recall him putting it back in my wallet. I hurriedly dug out my purse and opened my wallet. My heart dropped. He hadn’t returned it.
The gentleman in front of me had paid and was picking up his groceries.
“I’ve forgotten my bank card. Could I pay with my phone ” I asked the cashier hopefully.
“I’m sorry. We only accept credit card or cash. The cashier looked down the lane, disgusted at the amount of groceries. I’m sure she was predicting she’d have to put items back on the shelves.
“It will take me an hour to run home and an hour back. Can you just put my stuff on the side please “I was discouraged. All my careful planning hadn’t helped. The hour and a half of shopping left me exhausted and I wasn’t sure how my daughter would handle another two hours in the car.
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。
Just then, the gentleman in front of me smiled at me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, my family knocked at the gentleman’s door.

They steal nesting materials from careless neighbors, so penguins in the crime-ridden centre find it harder to sleep than those in the safer suburbs.
Choosing between those theories requires more research. Dr Lee said, “Nor can we measure how restorative such naps are. Chinstraps are evidently able to hatch their young under such conditions, which suggests they’re getting something from their constant nodding-off. So, humans nurturing their newborns should take heart.”
8. Why do dolphins and ducks sleep with only one side of their brains
A. To enjoy their cake. B. To establish a nice nest.
C. To be watchful during naps. D. To obtain high-quality sleep.
9. What does Chinstraps’ sleep pattern feature
A. Engaging in numerous naps a day. B. Sleeping nowhere beyond the ocean.
C. Ranging from 4 seconds to 12 hours. D. Always sleeping with the entire brain.
10. What can be inferred from the explanations in paragraph 3
A. Penguins live safely in natural colonies. B. Penguins encounter a variety of challenges.
C. Penguins hatch their eggs away from colony. D. Penguins at the core of the colony sleep longer.
11. What does Dr Lee think of Chinstraps’ micro-naps
A. Their duration is hard to detect. B. They distract the restorative effects.
C. Adopting them aids human newborns. D. Taking this sleep mode favors penguins.

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Chinstraps are evidently able to hatch their young under such conditions, which suggests they’re getting something from their constant nodding-off.(帽带企鹅显然能够在这样的条件下孵化它们的后代，这表明它们从不断的打盹中得到了一些东西)”可知，李博士认为帽带企鹅的“微小睡”睡眠模式有利于企鹅。故选D。

Claire has worked at a major London-based consulting firm for six years. She enjoys her job and earns a comfortable salary, but recently, she’s started to feel restless about the future of her career. The reason: artificial intelligence.
In recent years, as headlines about robots stealing human jobs have ballooned, some workers report starting to feel anxious about their futures in the labour market. Generative OpenAI’s ChatGPT broke out seemingly overnight, creating continuing uncertainty for workers.
Carolyn Montrose a career coach and lecturer at Columbia University, acknowledges the pace of technological innovation can be scary. “It is normal to feel anxious about the impact of AI, but workers don’t necessarily have to feel dread. Instead of shying away from AI, employees must lean into the technology to progress alongside these advancements by learning and using it to their advantage.”
Historically, this isn’t the first time we have encountered industry disruptions-from automation and manufacturing to e-commerce-we have found ways to adapt. Indeed, the introduction of new technology has often been unnerving for some people, but Montrose explains that plenty good has come from past new developments: technological change has always been a key push for society’s advancement.
Although some anxiety is justified, it may not be time to hit the panic button yet. Some research has shown fears of robots taking over human jobs might be overblown. The truth was that not only are robots not replacing human workers at the rate most people believe, but they also misunderstand the rate at which automation tools are taking over. While some new technologies would likely be adopted without considering all implications, that a technology can be used for something does not mean it will be implemented (实施).
“Humans will always have a role to play in business by performing the important work that robots cannot. This kind of work typically requires inborn human qualities, such as relationship building, creativity and emotional intelligence,” emphasizes Stefanie Coleman, a senior business advisor. “Recognizing the unique value of humans is an important step in navigating the fears surrounding this topic.
12. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Claire
A. A recognition for the power of AI. B. A well-paid post Claire can so easily land.
C. Workers’ concern about future employment. D. The convenience AI has brought to employees.
13. What does Montrose suggest in paragraph 3
A. Acknowledge and embrace the new. B. Stay away from ChatGPT and the like.
C. Ignore AI’s existence for the time being. D. Feel uncomfortable with new technology.
14. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Disorders. B. Revolutions. C. Suspensions. D. Products.
15. Why are humans irreplaceable according to Stefanie Coleman
A. Robots are too costly. B. AI has been unreliable.
C. AI is not advanced enough. D. Humans have unique qualities.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了近年来，随着机器人抢走人类工作的新闻铺天盖地，一些工人报告称，他们开始对自己在劳动力市场的未来感到焦虑。尽管有些焦虑是合理的，但现在可能还不是按下恐慌按钮的时候。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Claire has worked at a major London-based consulting firm for six years. She enjoys her job and earns a comfortable salary, but recently, she’s started to feel restless about the future of her career. The reason: artificial intelligence. (克莱尔在伦敦一家大型咨询公司工作了六年。她喜欢自己工作，薪水也不错，但最近，她开始对自己的职业前景感到不安。原因是：人工智能。)”可推知，作者试图通过提到克莱尔来说明工人对未来就业的担忧。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It is normal to feel anxious about the impact of AI, but workers don’t necessarily have to feel dread. Instead of shying away from AI, employees must lean into the technology to progress alongside these advancements by learning and using it to their advantage. (对人工智能的影响感到焦虑是正常的，但员工不一定要感到恐惧。员工们不应该回避人工智能，而是必须学习并利用它，与这些进步一起进步。)”可知，蒙特罗斯在第三段暗示要承认并拥抱新事物。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Indeed, the introduction of new technology has often been unnerving for some people, but Montrose explains that plenty good has come from past new developments: technological change has always been a key push for society’s advancement. (的确，新技术的引入常常让一些人感到不安，但蒙特罗斯解释说，过去的新发展带来了很多好处：技术变革一直是推动社会进步的关键因素。)”以及划线词上文“Historically, this isn’t the first time we have encountered industry”可知，后文提到了新技术的引入常常让一些人感到不安，过去的新发展带来了很多好处，由此说明从历史上看，这不是我们第一次遇到行业混乱了，故划线词意思是“混乱”。故选A。
15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Humans will always have a role to play in business by performing the important work that robots cannot. This kind of work typically requires inborn human qualities, such as relationship building, creativity and emotional intelligence (通过完成机器人无法完成的重要工作，人类将永远在商业中发挥作用。这类工作通常需要人类与生俱来的品质，比如建立关系、创造力和情商)”可知，斯蒂芬妮·科尔曼认为人类是不可替代的因为人类有独特的品质。故选D。

47. 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。
My two-year-old daughter was lovingly squished(挤) between a stack of groceries in one of my two shopping carts. Shopping once a month was a well-planned process. My list was organized so that I wouldn’t miss even one item. I knew the aisle, order, and cost of each item.
A gentleman in a suit stood behind me with three items in his hads. He looked up at his watch, then at me and smiled. I’d already let a person ahead of me with a single item. While my daughter was behaving well, I knew I’d pushed her longer than her endurance promised to last. Still, I felt for the man; he obviously had to be somewhere, and he’d be behind me a good long time.
“Why don’t you go ahead of me ” I said shifting the cart backwards. “You only have a couple of items.
“Thank you,” he replied appreciatively, stepping ahead of me.
My daughter gave him a broad smile. “Heh wo,” she said in her sweetest voice.
“Hello,” he replied, taken off guard by her friendliness. His face lit with pleasure.
As the belt moved forward, I started unloading my cart. His few items were ahead of mine separated by a red marker with the store name on it. I was only halfway finished unloading the first cart when a realization hit me. My husband had borrowed my bank card the night before and I couldn’t recall him putting it back in my wallet. I hurriedly dug out my purse and opened my wallet. My heart dropped. He hadn’t returned it.
The gentleman in front of me had paid and was picking up his groceries.
“I’ve forgotten my bank card. Could I pay with my phone ” I asked the cashier hopefully.
“I’m sorry. We only accept credit card or cash. The cashier looked down the lane, disgusted at the amount of groceries. I’m sure she was predicting she’d have to put items back on the shelves.
“It will take me an hour to run home and an hour back. Can you just put my stuff on the side please “I was discouraged. All my careful planning hadn’t helped. The hour and a half of shopping left me exhausted and I wasn’t sure how my daughter would handle another two hours in the car.
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。

【答案】范文
Just then, the gentleman in front of me smiled at me. His eyes were shining with kindness and empathy. Without a second thought, he turned to the cashier and said, “I’ll cover her groceries.” I was surprised by his generosity and struggled to find words to express my gratitude. As he swiped his credit card, a wave of relief washed over me. It was a small act of kindness, but it meant the world to me in that moment. With tears welling up in my eyes, I thanked him heartily feeling overwhelmed by the goodness of strangers.
The next morning, my family knocked at the gentleman’s door. We wanted to personally express our gratitude for his selflessness and repay his kindness. As he opened the door, we handed him a bouquet of flowers and a heartfelt thank-you note. He was visibly touched and invited us inside for a cup of tea. Sitting in his cozy living room, we shared stories and laughter, realizing that this chance encounter had brought us together. At that moment, I realized that sometimes the greatest blessings come in the form of unexpected friendships.
