Wenchang, Hainan province, is famous for its rich culture and unique tropical island scenery. A series of spacecraft launches have made the coastal city a hit among tourists over the past five years. It will soon be in the spotlight (聚光灯) again after the schedule for a new mission was officially released, surely exciting news for space fans one and all. Below are some tips for space fans eager to tour the Wenchang region.
Transportation
Visitors from outside Hainan can arrive at Haikou Meilan International Airport, or at Sanya Phoenix International Airport at the southern tip of Hainan island, and then transfer (转乘) to Wenchang via a high-speed loop railway, the only one that circles a tropical island in the world. It takes bullet trains leaving Meilan, Haikou only 17 minutes to reach Wenchang station while a bullet train from Sanya Phoenix takes just over one hour. Local travel agencies operate tourism routes that take visitors to officially appointed viewing points and other natural and cultural attractions. Visitors also have the option to turn to app platforms to rent vehicles to drive to the space launch site and other tourist destinations on the tropical island.
Best launch views
There are numerous sites and means to watch space launches in Wenchang — on its beautiful sprawling beaches, in paddy fields, on roofs of homestays or just inside rooms of seaside hotels. However, frequent visitors say that sites around Qishui Bay, which is three kilometers from the launch center, are known for offering the most impressive views.
21. Why is the high-speed loop railway mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To prove the popularity of the city of Wenchang.
B. To stress the history of Wenchang’s transportation.
C. To give the reason for the increasing number of tourists.
D. To show the uniqueness of Hainan’s transportation system.
22. What can be inferred from the text about Qishui Bay

Shanghai’s 11-year-old sailor, Yang Jixin, has made a notable entry in the sailing records by completing the 2024 Rizhao-Qingdao Island Hopping Race, navigating (横渡) 66 nautical miles, around 77 miles in the ocean. Yang also set a new benchmark (基准) by being the youngest Chinese youth to complete such a long voyage.
The race, which started on Aug. 10 from the Rizhao World Sailing Base and ended at the Beijing Olympic Sailing Training Base in Qingdao on Aug. 13, presented a series of challenges over its four- day sailing. Yang, the youngest national record-holder for kayaking (皮艇运动) across the Qiongzhou Strait, demonstrated her toughness and sailing acumen (敏锐) among the hot and wet weather, periods of calm, headwinds, and the complex interference (干扰) of waves.
The organizers took careful steps to ensure the safety of sailors, carrying out measures such as maritime rescue, medical support, and navigation monitoring throughout the event.
Upon her arrival at the Silver Sea Yacht Marina in Qingdao, Yang was welcomed by several figures from the sailing community, including Dai Zhiqiang, a former member of the Chinese Olympic Committee, Vice Chairman of the China Yachting Association, and Principal of the National Sailing School. Their presence recognized the significance of her success.
Dai greeted Yang with a congratulatory smile and rang the bell in her honor, a traditional mark of a successful sailing journey. His actions reflected the encouragement and support for the up-and-coming generation of sailors that Yang represents.
Yang’s achievement is more than a personal success. It’s an inspiration for young sailors and it highlights the potential for future developments in the sport of sailing. By setting a new record for the youngest Chinese youth in long-distance sailing, she has opened doors for others to follow and has shown that age is no barrier to ambition and skill. Her journey across the waves will undoubtedly encourage others to map their courses, and to rise to the challenges that lie beyond the known shores.
24. Which of the following can best describe Yang Jixin
A. Determined and skilled. B. Generous and confident.
C. Helpful and successful. D. Adventurous and honest.
25. Why were some famous figures present when Yang reached the Silver Sea Yacht Marina
A. To follow her example. B. To celebrate her achievement.
C. To face challenges with her. D. To offer her further guidance.
26. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Yang’s suggestions. B. Yang’s potential. C. Yang’s ambitions. D. Yang’s influences.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The 2024 Rizhao-Qingdao Island Hopping Race B. A Young Sailor’s Inspiring Adventure
C. 11-year-old Sailor Braving the Sea D. Sailing Challenges Testing Courage
C
New students at Eton, starting the school year in September, are not allowed to take smartphones with them. Instead, they will each be given a “dumb” Nokia phone that is unable to access the Internet and only allows calls and texts.
Students might blame the psychologist Jonathan Haidt, who popularised the idea that smartphones are responsible for rising rates of mental health problems among young people. Teachers at nearly two-thirds of secondary schools now say they have rules that prevent students from using their phones during the day.
But is there really anything wrong with spending a bit of time watching videos on social media Or taking your phone out while you’re in the supermarket queue to see funny news We might need meaning and purpose and psychological richness in our lives, but surely we need a bit of pleasure too. A study published in April in PLoS One found that spending 20 minutes on social media or watching videos on YouTube not only contributed to no negative stress response, but was associated with a decrease in both heart rate and cortisol (皮质醇).
What we get wrong is thinking that we are relaxing just because scrolling (浏览) mindlessly through social media is unproductive and feels like “time out”. There is a significant difference between doing things like being with our loved ones, spending time in nature, or reading a great book and emotional numbing (麻木). As the psychiatrist Anna Lembke argues in her book Dopamine Nation, by endlessly seeking pleasure and stimulation from our smartphone — which she describes as the “modern-day hypodermic (皮下注射) needle” — we become addicted to such stimulation, and find it harder to find joy in other less immediate things.
But also, by never putting our phones down and never giving ourselves a break from endless stimulation, we are not able to go into the kind of quiet brain state that allows mind-wandering, creativity and deep reflection.
As we all know, if you are not paying for it, then you are the product, and businessmen in the marketplace of attention are constantly adjusting the ways in which they occupy our brain space. We must learn to get more creative and intentional about the ways we choose to relax ourselves and perhaps, even, to enjoy some good-old fashioned boredom.
28. Why is the school Eton mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To raise a doubt. B. To explain a phenomenon.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To launch a campaign.
29. What does the study published in April in PLoS One suggest
A. Constant use of social media is beneficial to health.
B. Proper use of social media can reduce stress.
C. Watching YouTube videos increases heart rate.
D. Spending time on social media has little effect on people.
30. Why does Anna Lembke describe the smartphone as the “modern-day hypodermic needle”
A. Because smartphones can bring new energy.
B. Because people rely too much on smartphones.
C. Because smartphones might relieve pain quickly.
D. Because people will get medical help from smartphones.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. We should pay for using smartphones. B. Businessmen often control our thinking.
C. Boredom is unacceptable in modern life. D. We should choose our relaxing ways wisely.
D
Whether you shop for food in a traditional grocery store or a big-box store, most of your options are junk foods. Terms on food packaging like “low fat,” “gluten-free,” “keto-friendly” and “a good source of fiber” don’t answer the fundamental question: Is this food good for me There is little reliable guidance available for people who don’t have the time, patience or skill to analyze the nutrition labels (标签).
But what we really need is a bold (大胆的) move that would be to prevent people from food that’s bad for them: a warning sign that a high-sugar soda or breakfast cereal product, for example, is an unhealthy choice.
Chile, Mexico, Brazil and dozens of other countries have worked to change food labeling. Research has suggested that these labels can help people understand nutritional quality and change their purchasing habits. Finally, the goal of the labels is to improve nutrition and reduce the consumption of over-processed foods.
After Chile adopted several rules in 2016, researchers found that the consumption of drinks high in sugar and sodium declined by nearly 25 percent. In Uruguay a survey published in 2020 assessing the early effects of nutritional warnings found that 58 percent of participants who noticed the warning changed their decisions about buying a product. Of those who changed their decisions, 17 percent said they chose a similar product with fewer warnings, and 18 percent decided not to buy a similar product at all.
In the United States, new labeling laws will be much more challenging to take effect. As you might expect, food producers will surely try to stop warning labels from being required. They are arguing that these plans would be costly and that those costs would be passed on to consumers. But research conducted soon after Chile’s food labeling and advertising law passed showed no effects on total employment and negligible effects on wages (工资) and profit, even as consumer consumption of unhealthy foods declined.
To be clear, this is just one of many steps toward providing all Americans with a healthy diet. But knowable front-of-package labeling is one of the best levers (杠杆) available to policymakers, and it is already working elsewhere. It can work here, too.
32. What does paragraph 1 focus on
A. The doubt about nutrition. B. The problem with labels.
C. The doubt about package. D. The problem with food.
33. What do the examples of Chile and Uruguay show
A. Warning labels can effectively change people’s buying behavior.
B. People in the two countries have better nutrition awareness.
C. Food producers there work well with the government.
D. The consumption of over-processed foods has been stopped.
34. What does the underlined word “negligible” mean in paragraph 5
A. Obvious. B. Lasting. C. Insignificant. D. Huge.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards adopting warning labels in the United States
A. Unclear. B. Opposing. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.

When it comes to travelling abroad, many people choose a group tour to get the most out of their holiday. 36 Thankfully, travel expert Dilvin Yasa has shared tips for that.
Budget accordingly.
When planning your group tour, budgeting is an important factor, as these trips are rarely all-inclusive (包含一切的). 37 Extra costs on a group tour could include meals, attractions and additional activities, so please factor potential costs in.
38
Yasa advised against skipping between different destinations, as strict time limits could prevent you from participating in back to back tours. “If the distances or time between destinations are not listed, turn to Google Maps to know how long you’re expected to be on the road.”
Don’t arrive at the last minute.
If you’re in a group tour, don’t leave home until the day when the tour sets off. “The worst is missing a connecting flight or experiencing delays. 39 ” Yasa said. “Remember to arrive the day before at the very latest and give yourself a little extra free time at the tail end.”
Keep some cash on hand.
While most of your tour should already be paid for before you start, you should always prepare some cash. Especially when travelling to more remote locations, or visiting smaller food stands or markets, you shouldn’t assume everywhere will take card payments. Yasa said, “ 40 ”
A. Know your geography.
B. Try to attend every trip.
C. It’s a good choice to exchange goods.
D. It’s better to have some cash on you at all times.

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。
“Mom, please, please,” I begged. “Please, by myself ” I had never made cookies by myself before. As a nine-year-old girl, I was old enough to do a lot of things.
“Alana is going to cook Alone ” my brother, Caleb, asked with a laugh. “That is going to be a disaster!” Caleb used big words to act older and smarter than me. Having a big brother can be annoying. My parents looked at each other. My dad lowered his eyebrows. Would they let me do it I held my breath.
“OK,” Mom said. “But Alana, please take your time. And be careful.”
I raced to the kitchen and went to work. I laid out everything I would need. I broke three eggs into a bowl and added in some flour and butter. Using an electric mixer was easy. I had done it with Mom a million times before. I turned on the mixer at medium speed — and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! “WHOA!” I cried. What a disaster! I had to wipe batter (面糊) off my face, then off the cupboard and floor.
“Yuck! Alana’s a mess! Alana’s a mess!” my brother laughed.
“Caleb, you just get out of here,” I yelled, waving a spoon. “Leave me alone.”
Caleb laughed and walked away. I shook my head and turned back to the mixing bowl. I started again. Referring to the recipe, I added a little of this and a little of that into the bowl, placed the little rounded dough (面团) balls onto the pan and put it into the oven. After a while, I looked inside the oven, and my heart sank. The neat, little batter melted into a huge, gluey puddle (水坑) that was flowing to the edges of the pan. UGH! I pulled the pan out of the oven just as Caleb walked back into the kitchen.
“What in the world ” He started to laugh. “Cookie soup ”
“You just be quiet,” I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks. “Just leave me alone.”
