Booking Process of Hostelworld
Hostelworld is the largest hostel booking platform. Booking through Hostelworld is easy. You can either use the regular website or download the app and then follow the steps below.
Input necessary details only
· destination
· preferred property（the hostel of your choice!）
· number of guests（only you or with friends ）
· and number of night（with check-in date and check-out date）
Here you have 2 booking options
Non-flexible Booking
With the non-flexible booking your deposit is non-refundable. Again, this is NON-REFUNDABLE!
Standard Flexible Booking
The standard flexible booking costs an extra fee（only E1．00 per guest）and your deposit is protected. In case of a cancellation you can use this deposit to make a different booking.
Obviously, as a backpacker and traveler on a budget, you want to save even that 16．Our best advice would be to make the non-refundable booking for dates you are 100% certain about. That being said, for busy dates and cities, it makes sense to go with the flexible booking. This can be cities like Barcelona, Paris, London, Amsterdam and Rome.
For payments, you may use a
· valid credit card
· debit card
Best Price Guarantee
Hostelworld has a best price guarantee. If you find a cheaper price on a different website, you can still book for that price with Hostelworld.

Gideon Mendel, a photojournalist who has been documenting climate change through his series “Submerged Portraits”. Starting his project in 2007, Mendel’s goal is to make the impact of climate change on human deeply felt, moving away from typical imagery of glaciers and polar bears to focus on flood-affected individuals.
He goes where the floods are— floods typically linked to climate change. But instead of racing to capture ongoing storms and rainfall, he waits for the water to settle and tries to capture the trauma（创伤）endured by communities. His subjects stand still in their flooded homes, creating heart-breaking images that convey both aesthetic（美学的）beauty and profound content. These portraits come from 13 different flood zones across the globe, demonstrating the wide existence of climate change impacts.
As Mendel continues his work, he shifts towards video, creating installations（装置）like Deluge, which is part of the photography exhibition “Coal + Ice” at New York’s Asia Society. The exhibition, showing videos of flood survivors returning home, emphasizes the personal and global consequences of climate change.
“He makes it human and real, that we are all vulnerable and impacted by climate change, regardless of where we live or what our income is,” commented Tzeporah Berman, chair and founder of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, after viewing Deluge. “He brings to life not just what’s happening in the landscape but shows the despair in people’s faces.”
Mendel’s long-term mission to portray trauma connects deeply with his family history of the Holocaust, influencing both his artistic and activist pursuits. Despite the connection, he says, “Real activists take risks and go to prison and put themselves on the line. I only put my pictures online.”
24．What effect may Mendel’s photographs of flood survivors have on viewers
A．Calming. B．Touching. C．Refreshing. D．Challenging.
25．What do we know about “Coal+ Ice”
A．It focuses on historical flood events.
B．It highlights the impact of climate change.
C．It gives birth to installations like Deluge.
D．It displays the aesthetic beauty of flood zones.
26．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Mendel only cares about online exposure.
B．Mendel takes the same risks as real activists.
C．Mendel holds a humble attitude towards his efforts.
D．Mendel’s mission is irrelevant to his family history.
27．Which of the following best describes Mendel
A．Devoted and sympathetic. B．Passionate and humorous.
C．Ambitious and courageous. D．Thoughtful and generous.
C
Marmosets, those small and adorable monkeys native to South America, are far more sophisticated than they appear. According to a new study, members of marmoset troops use specific vocalizations— “phee calls”— to call each other by names. A naming system like this is no trivial discovery in any species, considering how few wild animals are known to have one. It is the first time such behavior has been observed in primates other than humans.
To reveal the secrets of marmosets, the researchers recorded natural conversations between pairs of marmosets, who could not see but could hear each other. They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups. Interestingly, this behavior extends beyond closely related individuals, indicating that marmosets learn names and pronunciation details from fellow troop members.
Marmosets inhabit thick rainforest canopies across a swath of South America, where vocally labeling each individual troop member might offer an adaptive advantage, the researchers note. Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight. In fact, this might even hint at how some of our prehuman ancestors developed social communication and language.
“Marmosets live in small monogamous（一夫一妻制）family groups and take care of their young together, much like humans do,” Omer says. “These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods.”
28．What does the underlined word “trivial” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Rare. B．Significant. C．Complicated. D．Unimportant.
29．What did the researchers discover about phee calls used by marmosets
A．They are vocalizations unique to marmosets.
B．They are abandoned by closely related individuals.
C．They are fixed without flexibility in dialogues.
D．They are used for communication and identification.
30．In which way might vocal labeling benefit marmosets in the rainforest
A．Defending each individual troop member.
B．Enhancing the visibility in the rainforest.
C．Maintaining social bonds in low visibility conditions.
D．Spending more time with closely related individuals.
31．What might contribute to marmosets’ similar communicating methods as early human ancestors
A．Small family groups. B．Similar social challenges.
C．Identical living environments. D．Comparable linguistic system.
D
The approach is an early example of “self-healing grid（输电网）” technology, which uses AI to detect and repair problems such as power cuts autonomously and without human intervention when issues occur, such as storm-damaged power lines. Although further research is needed before this system can be implemented and scaled to real-world power grids, it is still an exciting development for the nation’s troubled power grid, according to researchers.
Power grids worldwide face challenges from increasing extreme weather events, cyberattacks, and rising demand. Therefore, it’s crucial to develop tools that modernize the system and make it more resilient（有适应力的）against future power cuts. The North American grid is a vast, complex network of transmission and distribution lines, generation facilities, and transformers that inefficiently delivers electricity from power sources to consumers.
Using various scenarios in test networks, the research team demonstrated that its solution can automatically identify alternative routes to transfer electricity to users before a power cut occurs. Once trained, the AI-driven system can reroute electrical flow in microseconds, vastly outpacing current processes involving classical engineering techniques or human intervention, which can take minutes to hours.
Their goal is to quickly find the best path to send power to the majority of users. They use machine learning algorithms on graphs to understand complex relationships in power networks. This helps them see how components are connected and how electricity flows. They also rely on reinforcement learning, where a virtual agent is positioned in a simulation（模拟）environment of the real problem— to systematically play out scenarios and progressively learn from this experience. An example of knowledge gained from such experience would be if a line fault blocks electricity, the system can rearrange using switches and draw power from neighbouring sources, like solar panels or batteries on a university campus or business.
After focusing on preventing power cuts, the researchers now aim to develop similar technology to repair and restore the grid following disruptions, like those caused by natural hazards.
32．Why is the North American grid mentioned in Paragraph 2
A．To showcase the necessity for grid modernization.
B．To illustrate the complexity of modern power networks.
C．To emphasize its unique challenges not found elsewhere.
D．To show it has adopted “self-healing grid” technology.
33．What is the advantage of the self-healing grid system
A．It allows the power grid to generate more electricity.
B．It involves necessary classical engineering techniques.
C．It automatically transfers electricity to users on demand.
D．It significantly quickens the process of rerouting electricity.
34．How might the system handle a line fault blocking electricity
A．By waiting for human intervention.
B．By getting rid of solar panels and batteries.
C．By redirecting and using power from nearby sources.
D．By using a traditional power distribution mapping system.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Grid Modernization: A Road to Self Healing
B．Self-Healing Grid Technology: Full of Potential
C．Al-Driven Rerouting: Key to Energy-Efficiency
D．Al: Preventing Power Cuts with Machine Learning

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。
The world cheered when 12 boys and their football coach, who had been trapped in a cave in northern Thailand for over two weeks, were rescued on July 10．The coach, a 25-year-old former monk named Ekapol Chantawong, reportedly taught the boys meditation to pass the time, stay calm, and conserve energy. 36 So, what exactly is meditation, and can it truly be beneficial
Meditation, a practice with roots in various philosophies, fundamentally involves mindfulness of the present moment. In mindfulness meditation, individuals strive to shift attention away from distracting thoughts and focus only on the here and now. 37 Even briefly silencing one’s mind amidst work pressures or digital distractions requires practice.
Meditation contributes to improving not just mental, but physical health as well. Studies have shown that it can increase immune function and reduce chronic pain. Meditation has also proven to be effective in decreasing instances of depression, anxiety and stress. It can also sharpen your mind, help your focus and attention, and improve your memory. 38
39 A few minutes each day can make a difference. Set aside both time and space, because rushing through it would defeat the purpose. Wear comfortable clothing and find a quiet spot away from distractions like TVs or pets. Sit cross-legged on the floor or upright in a chair, avoiding lying down to prevent sleepiness. As you settle, breathe deeply and observe your immediate sensations without judgment.
Initially, it might be tough to quiet the noise in your head. 40 Over time, meditation will definitely become a comfortable and rewarding practice, fostering inner peace and enhancing overall wellbeing.
A．Keep practicing and don’t give up!
B．To embark on a meditation journey, start small.
C．Guided meditations can help beginners get started.
D．Mindfulness can be applied to everyday activities.
E．Despite its simplicity, mastering this technique can be challenging.
F．That is why some schools have started teaching mindfulness techniques.
G．This practice did help them maintain mental strength during hardship.

In a small town, there lived an old woman named Mrs. Thompson who was known for her kind heart. However, she had been living alone since her husband passed away and her reclusive（隐居的）nature kept her a bit apart from others. She lived a lonely life, with her well-tended garden as her only comfort. The garden was an abundance of colors, filled with roses, daisies, and various herbs. Each plant was cared for with her full love and attention.
One day, a young girl named Lily moved into the neighborhood. Lily was a curious and friendly child, but she had been through a difficult time as she was recovering from a serious illness and was often sad and lonely.
One afternoon, Lily was walking past Mrs. Thompson’s house and was attracted by the beautiful garden. She pecked over the fence and saw Mrs. Thompson tending to the flowers. Mrs. Thompson noticed Lily and invited her in. Lily was hesitant at first but then walked in with a shy smile.
Mrs. Thompson showed her around the garden and told her about the different plants and their uses. She picked a few herbs and made a cup of tea for Lily, saying it was good for her health. Lily drank the tea and felt a warmth and comfort she hadn’t felt in a long time.
As the days passed, Lily became a frequent visitor to the garden. Mrs. Thompson taught her how to plant seeds, water the plants, and take care of them. Lily’s health gradually improved, and she started to smile and laugh more.
However, one day, Mrs. Thompson fell ill and was hospitalized. Learning of this, Lily rushed to the hospital to ensure her well-being. During their conversation, she knew Mrs. Thompson was worried about her garden, fearing that without her care, the flowers and herbs she cherished would wither（枯萎）.

第一节
An Unforgettable Eco-Friendly Hiking Event
Last weekend, I participated in an eco-friendly hiking event organized by our school, themed “Protecting the Green Begins with Me.”
The event commenced at 8 a. m. on Saturday and concluded around noon. It started from the school gate and led us through a picturesque route within the nearby national park. Throughout the hike, participants were buried in actively picking up litter on the ground to maintain the natural beauty. Moreover, we made every endeavour to spread the importance of preserving the environment to others and encouraged them to adopt greener habits.
In conclusion, this experience was so meaningful that it reinforced my responsibility of protecting our environment as an individual.
第二节
Lily decided to take up the responsibility in her place. Equipped with the skills Mrs. Thompson had taught her, Lily began to tend the garden. She watered the plants gently, making sure each one got the right amount and carefully removed the weeds that threatened the flowers. Lily treated the garden as if it were her own, determined to keep it blooming until Mrs. Thompson recovered. She even made herbal tea and took it to the hospital, hoping it could also help Mrs. Thompson recover faster. When seeing the tea, Mrs. Thompson smiled an understanding simile and drank it. With time passing by, Mrs. Thompson was getting better and the day of her hospital release arrived. Lily went to collect her merrily.
Accompanied by Lily, Mrs. Thompson returned home. As she stepped into her beloved garden, she was amazed to see how well-maintained it was. The flowers were blooming beautifully, and the herbs were flourishing. She felt a warm glow in her heart, knowing that Lily had taken great care of her precious garden in her absence. Mrs. Thompson expressed her sincere gratitude, tears blurring her eyes. From that day on, Lily continued to visit Mrs. Thompson and help her with the garden. Their bond grew stronger, and they became like family to each other. They no longer felt lonely and enjoyed together the beauty and tranquility the garden brought to them.

21．A 根据第二个小标题下的内容, “Obviously, as a backpacker and traveler on a budget, you want to save even that 1?. Our best advice would be to make the non-refundable booking for dates you are 100% certain about.”（显然, 作为一个背包客和预算有限的旅行者，你甚至想节省那1欧元。所以，我们最好的建议是，对于你百分之百确定的日期，选择不可退款的预订）。因此，选项A“一个预算紧张的背包客”最符合题意，因为文章建议预算有限的旅行者选择不可退款的预订以节省费用。
22．D 根据最后一句“If you find a booking cheaper on any other website, we’ll refund you the difference.”（如果你在其他网站上找到更便宜的预订, 我们会退还差价给你。）。说明如果用户在其他网站上发现更便宜的价格，Hostelworld会退还差价。选项D“退多收的费用给你”与原文一致。
23．C 根据全文，尤其标题和第一段话可知，本文主要介绍了 Hostelworld 的预订流程，包括如何输入信息、选择预订类型、支付方式以及最佳价格保证。因此，选项C“介绍 Hostelworld的预订流程”最符合题意。
B
【导语】本文介绍了摄影记者 Gideon Mendel 及其系列作品“Submerged Portraits”，该系列通过记录洪水影响下的个体，旨在直观展现气候变化的人文影响。Mendel的工作不仅限于摄影，还扩展到视频装置艺术，以此强调气候变化带来的全球性后果。
24．B 根 据 第 二 段“His subjects stand still in their flooded homes, creating heart-breaking images that convey both aesthetic beauty and profound content.”（他的拍摄对象站在被洪水淹没的家园中，一动不动，创造出令人心碎的画面，这些画面既具有美学之美，又包含了深刻的内涵。）Mendel的照片描绘了洪水幸存者在被淹没的家中的情景，这些图像既美丽又深刻，能够触动观众的情感，让他们感受到洪水带来的创伤。因此，正确答案是 B。
25．B 根据第三段“The exhibition, showing videos of flood survivors returning home, emphasizes the personal and global consequences of climate change.”（展览展示了洪水幸存者回家的视频，强调了气候变化对个人和全球的影响。）“Coal+Ice”摄影展通过展示洪水幸存者返回家园的视频，突显了气候变化的影响。因此，正确答案是 B。
26．C 根据最后一段“Real activists take risks and go to prison and put themselves on the line. I only put my pictures online.”（真正的活动家会冒险、坐牢，把自己置于危险之中。我只是把照片放到了网上。）通过这段话，我们可以看出 Mendel对自己的工作持有一种谦逊的态度。他承认自己并没有像真正的活动家那样冒很大的风险，只是通过网络分享图片。这表明他对自己的贡献有清晰的认识，并且不夸大自己的作用。因此，正确答案是C。
27．A根据全文可知，Mendel长期致力于通过他的作品描绘创伤，触动人们的心灵，并且让人们发自内心的切身感受气候变化带来的影响。此外，根据倒数第二段Tzeporah Berman 指出, Mendel 的作品“He made it human and real, that we are all vulnerable and impacted by climate change, regardless of where we live...”（他使其人性化且真实，即我们所有人都是脆弱的，并且受到气候变化的影响，无论我们生活在哪里或收入如何。）这表明 Mendel的作品深刻地体现了他对全球各地人们面对气候变化时的脆弱性和影响的理解和同情。因此，正确答案是 A。
C
【导语】本文探讨了狨（marmosets）这种小型且可爱的南美猴类在社会互动中的复杂性，特别是它们使用特定叫声“phee calls”作为名字进行交流的独特方式。这一发现不仅揭示了狨的社会结构复杂性，还为理解人类早期祖先的社交沟通和语言发展提供了线索。
28．D 根据第一段“A naming system like this is no trivial discovery in any species, considering how few wild animals are known to have one.”（在任何物种中，这样的命名系统都不是微不足道的发现，考虑到很少有野生动物已知拥有这种系统。）。原句说像这样的命名系统在任何物种中都不是“trivial”发现，结合后文提到鉴于已知拥有这种（命名系统）的野生动物很少，说明它是比较重要的发现。因此，选项D是正确的。
29．D 根据第二段话“They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups.”（他们发现狨猴使用phee calls进行轮流对话，并且这些叫声还能传递关于发出叫声者的细节信息。这些叫声的独特特征和灵活性表明，狨猴可能会用它们在社交群体中互相标记和交流。）。因此，选项D是正确的。
30．C 根据第三段“Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight.”（在这些茂密的树冠中, 能见度有限，但使用声音标签作为名字可能有助于狨猴在彼此看不见的时候保持联系，并作为一个群体一起合作。）。根据文章第四段的描述，狨生活在茂密的树冠中，能见度有限，但通过使用声音标签作为名字可以帮助它们在彼此视线之外保持社会联系和群体凝聚力。因此，选项C是正确的。
31．B 根据最后一段“These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods.”（这些相似之处表明, 它们面临着与我们早期非语言祖先相似的进化社会挑战，这可能导致它们发展出类似的沟通方法。）。根据文章最后一段的描述，狨与早期人类祖先面临相似的进化社会挑战，这可能导致它们发展出类似的沟通方法。因此，选项B是正确的。
D
【导语】本文探讨了利用人工智能（AI）实现电网自愈技术的研究进展。这项技术旨在通过自动化检测和修复电力中断等问题，提高电网的韧性和效率。
32．A 根据第二段“Power grids worldwide face challenges from increasing extreme weather events, cyberattacks, and rising demand. Therefore, it’s crucial to develop tools that modernize the system and make it more resilient against future power cuts.”（全球电网面临极端天气事件增多、网络攻击和需求上升等挑战。因此，开发现代化工具以增强系统对未来断电的适应力至关重要。）。因此，提及北美电网是以此为例，呼应上文，表明更新电网的必要性。因此，选项A 是正确的。
33．D 根据第三段“Once trained, this AI-driven system can reroute electrical flow in microseconds, vastly outpacing current processes involving classical engineering techniques or human intervention, which can take minutes to hours.”（一旦经过训练，这个由AI驱动的系统可以在微秒内重新路由电流，在速度上大大超过当前涉及传统工程技术或人为干预的流程，这些流程可能需要几分钟到几小时。）。使用AI在自愈电网系统中的优势在于它显著加快了重新路由电力的过程。因此，选项D是正确的。
34．C 根据第四段“An example of knowledge gained from such experience would be if a line fault blocks electricity, the system can rearrange using switches and draw power from neighbouring sources, like solar panels or batteries on a university campus or business.”（从这样的经验中获得的一个例子是，如果线路故障导致电力中断，系统可以通过开关重新配置，并从邻近来源获取电力，比如大学校园或企业上的太阳能电池板或电池。）。当系统处理线路故障阻断电力时，它会通过重定向和使用附近来源的电力来应对。因此，选项C是正确的。
35．B本文介绍了研究人员开发了一种使用AI技术的“自愈电网”技术，能够自动检测和修复电力故障，如暴风雨损坏的电线。该技术在测试网络中表现出色，能迅速重新分配电力流向，尽管在将这个系统应用于实际电网之前还需要进一步的研究，但研究人员表示，这对于国家问题重重的电网来说仍然是一个令人兴奋的进展。因此，“自愈电网”技术很有潜力。因此选项B是正确的。
第二节【导语】本文主要介绍了冥想的定义、好处以及如何开始练习冥想。
36．G 根据上下文，教练 Ekapol Chantawong教孩子们冥想来帮助他们在被困期间保持冷静和保存能量。因此，选项G“This practice did help them maintain mental strength during hardship.”最符合上下文，表明这种练习确实帮助他们在困境中保持心理力量。
37．E 此选项强调了冥想虽然简单，但掌握起来并不容易。它与前文提到的“mediation，a practice with roots in various philosophies”相呼应, 说明尽管冥想有其哲学根源和看似简单的本质，但要真正精通却需要时间和努力。这与后文提到的“Even briefly silencing one’s mind amidst work pressures or digital distractions requires practice.”（即使在工作压力或数字干扰下暂时静心也需要练习）紧密相连，表明了冥想的复杂性和挑战性。
38．F前一句提到冥想对提高注意力、记忆力等方面的益处，因此需要一个句子来进一步解释这些益处的影响。选项F“That is why some schools have started teaching mindfulness techniques.”说明了为什么一些学校开始教授正念技巧，与前文衔接紧密。
39．B 这一段开始介绍如何开始冥想，需要一个引导句。选项B“To embark on a meditation journey，start small.”提供了这样的引导，告诉读者开始冥想旅程要从小事做起。
40．A前一句提到一开始可能会很难让头脑安静下来，因此需要一个鼓励性的句子来激励读者继续练习。选项A“Keep practicing and don’ t give up!”正是这样一个鼓励性的句子，告诉读者要继续练习不要放弃。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节【导语】这篇文章讲述了 Noland Keaulana，一位夏威夷原住民水上救援者，在接到一名17岁少年 KahiauKawai失踪的消息后，与其他救援人员一起进行了长达8小时的搜救。最终在海上找到了 Kahiau并将其成功救起的故事。
41．A句意：一个周三晚上，他像往常一样正在值班，这时他的对讲机上收到了一条关于檀香山海岸外一名 17 岁失踪男孩卡希奥·卡瓦伊的消息。perform one’s duty“履行某人的职责”，故选 performing。
42．B句意：Kahiau在高中练习时独木舟翻倒后意外漂走了。根据语境可知，此处描述的是 Kahiau在独木舟翻倒后的情况，故选 floated away, 意为“漂走”。
43．C 句意：当Keaulana和其他救援人员前往海洋时。make one’s way to表示“前往某地”，符合语境,故选 made。
44．D句意：Kahiau在与强流搏斗，并在躺在独木舟上和踩水之间来回切换。根据语境可知，Kahiau 在尝试不同的方式以应对困境，故选 switching, 意为“转换”。
45．B句意：那里相当艰难，波浪非常强大，我就是无法抵抗洋流。根据语境以及上文“Kahiau was struggling against strong currents”可知，Kahiau 描述了海洋环境的恶劣，故选rough，意为“艰难的”。
46．D句意：那里相当艰难，波浪非常强大，我就是无法抵抗洋流。根据上文“strong currents”可知，此处应填 current, 意为“洋流”。
47．A句意：消防部门迅速派出多艘船只、飞机和超过50名人员。根据语境可知，此处描述的是救援行动的展开，故选 sent out，意为“派出”。
48．B 句意: Keaulana是那些拼命搜寻海洋的救援人员之一。根据语境可知， Keaulana和其他救援人员是在紧急情况下进行搜救，故选 desperately，意为“拼命地”。

Para.2 时间和路线：清晰说明活动开展的时间（例如 last Saturday morning），详细描述徒步路线（如从学校出发，途经公园、河边等具体地点）。
环保行动：列举在徒步过程中的环保行为，如携带垃圾袋，沿途捡拾垃圾（包括塑料瓶、废纸、包装袋等各种垃圾）；向路人宣传环保知识，发放自制的环保宣传手册，讲解垃圾分类的重要性、绿色出行的益处等；观察并记录沿途的生态环境状况，如河流是否清澈、树木植被是否健康等，为后续的环保研究或改善措施提供参考。
Para.3 感想：表达参与活动后的内心感受，如对大自然更加热爱和敬畏，意识到个人力量虽小，但集体行动能产生巨大影响：强调环保需要持续努力，每个人都应积极承担起保护环境的责任，共同守护地球家园。
第二节【导语】本篇读后续写的故事讲述了一个孤独的老妇人 Mrs. Thompson和她精心照料的花园，以及她与新邻居 Lily之间逐渐建立起来的深厚情谊。
【详解】段落续写：续写第一段：这一段可以写 Lily开始行动，如何照看花园的，比如，浇水，除草。她精心呵护每一株植物，让花园在 Mrs. Thompson住院期间依然保持生机。并且还可以提到 Lily为 Mrs. Thompson制作草本茶，希望她能快速康复（呼应原文）。最后，为了衔接下段首句, 所以要提及 Mrs. Thompson 出院。
续写第二段：先描述 Mrs. Thompson看到花园时的表情和反应，她可能会惊讶和感动得热泪盈眶，因为花园依然焕发生机或者比她想象中更加繁茂美丽。然后可以写两人在花园中的互动，Mrs. Thompson对 Lily表示感谢, Lily 给 Mrs. Thompson端来一杯草本茶（协同原文）。自此以后，她们共同照料这个花园，她们也将继续在这个充满爱的花园里度过更多美好的时光，彼此陪伴，不再孤独。
【可借鉴的高分亮点句】
① With firm determination, Lily embarked on the task of safeguarding the garden, treating each blossom and herb as a precious gem.
带着坚定的决心，Lily开始守护花园的任务，将每一朵花和每一株草药都视作珍贵的宝石。
② Upon stepping into the garden, Mrs. Thompson’s eyes widened in disbelief and marveled at the sight of the flourishing garden.

Gideon Mendel, a photojournalist who has been documenting climate change through his series “Submerged Portraits”. Starting his project in 2007, Mendel’s goal is to make the impact of climate change on human deeply felt, moving away from typical imagery of glaciers and polar bears to focus on flood-affected individuals.
He goes where the floods are— floods typically linked to climate change. But instead of racing to capture ongoing storms and rainfall, he waits for the water to settle and tries to capture the trauma（创伤）endured by communities. His subjects stand still in their flooded homes, creating heart-breaking images that convey both aesthetic（美学的）beauty and profound content. These portraits come from 13 different flood zones across the globe, demonstrating the wide existence of climate change impacts.
As Mendel continues his work, he shifts towards video, creating installations（装置）like Deluge, which is part of the photography exhibition “Coal + Ice” at New York’s Asia Society. The exhibition, showing videos of flood survivors returning home, emphasizes the personal and global consequences of climate change.
“He makes it human and real, that we are all vulnerable and impacted by climate change, regardless of where we live or what our income is,” commented Tzeporah Berman, chair and founder of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, after viewing Deluge. “He brings to life not just what’s happening in the landscape but shows the despair in people’s faces.”
Mendel’s long-term mission to portray trauma connects deeply with his family history of the Holocaust, influencing both his artistic and activist pursuits. Despite the connection, he says, “Real activists take risks and go to prison and put themselves on the line. I only put my pictures online.”
24．What effect may Mendel’s photographs of flood survivors have on viewers
A．Calming. B．Touching. C．Refreshing. D．Challenging.
25．What do we know about “Coal+ Ice”
A．It focuses on historical flood events.
B．It highlights the impact of climate change.
C．It gives birth to installations like Deluge.
D．It displays the aesthetic beauty of flood zones.
26．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Mendel only cares about online exposure.
B．Mendel takes the same risks as real activists.
C．Mendel holds a humble attitude towards his efforts.
D．Mendel’s mission is irrelevant to his family history.
27．Which of the following best describes Mendel
A．Devoted and sympathetic. B．Passionate and humorous.
C．Ambitious and courageous. D．Thoughtful and generous.
C
Marmosets, those small and adorable monkeys native to South America, are far more sophisticated than they appear. According to a new study, members of marmoset troops use specific vocalizations— “phee calls”— to call each other by names. A naming system like this is no trivial discovery in any species, considering how few wild animals are known to have one. It is the first time such behavior has been observed in primates other than humans.
To reveal the secrets of marmosets, the researchers recorded natural conversations between pairs of marmosets, who could not see but could hear each other. They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups. Interestingly, this behavior extends beyond closely related individuals, indicating that marmosets learn names and pronunciation details from fellow troop members.
Marmosets inhabit thick rainforest canopies across a swath of South America, where vocally labeling each individual troop member might offer an adaptive advantage, the researchers note. Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight. In fact, this might even hint at how some of our prehuman ancestors developed social communication and language.
“Marmosets live in small monogamous（一夫一妻制）family groups and take care of their young together, much like humans do,” Omer says. “These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods.”
28．What does the underlined word “trivial” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Rare. B．Significant. C．Complicated. D．Unimportant.
29．What did the researchers discover about phee calls used by marmosets
A．They are vocalizations unique to marmosets.
B．They are abandoned by closely related individuals.
C．They are fixed without flexibility in dialogues.
D．They are used for communication and identification.

The approach is an early example of “self-healing grid（输电网）” technology, which uses AI to detect and repair problems such as power cuts autonomously and without human intervention when issues occur, such as storm-damaged power lines. Although further research is needed before this system can be implemented and scaled to real-world power grids, it is still an exciting development for the nation’s troubled power grid, according to researchers.
Power grids worldwide face challenges from increasing extreme weather events, cyberattacks, and rising demand. Therefore, it’s crucial to develop tools that modernize the system and make it more resilient（有适应力的）against future power cuts. The North American grid is a vast, complex network of transmission and distribution lines, generation facilities, and transformers that inefficiently delivers electricity from power sources to consumers.
Using various scenarios in test networks, the research team demonstrated that its solution can automatically identify alternative routes to transfer electricity to users before a power cut occurs. Once trained, the AI-driven system can reroute electrical flow in microseconds, vastly outpacing current processes involving classical engineering techniques or human intervention, which can take minutes to hours.
Their goal is to quickly find the best path to send power to the majority of users. They use machine learning algorithms on graphs to understand complex relationships in power networks. This helps them see how components are connected and how electricity flows. They also rely on reinforcement learning, where a virtual agent is positioned in a simulation（模拟）environment of the real problem— to systematically play out scenarios and progressively learn from this experience. An example of knowledge gained from such experience would be if a line fault blocks electricity, the system can rearrange using switches and draw power from neighbouring sources, like solar panels or batteries on a university campus or business.
After focusing on preventing power cuts, the researchers now aim to develop similar technology to repair and restore the grid following disruptions, like those caused by natural hazards.
32．Why is the North American grid mentioned in Paragraph 2
A．To showcase the necessity for grid modernization.
B．To illustrate the complexity of modern power networks.
C．To emphasize its unique challenges not found elsewhere.
D．To show it has adopted “self-healing grid” technology.
33．What is the advantage of the self-healing grid system
A．It allows the power grid to generate more electricity.
B．It involves necessary classical engineering techniques.
C．It automatically transfers electricity to users on demand.
D．It significantly quickens the process of rerouting electricity.
34．How might the system handle a line fault blocking electricity
A．By waiting for human intervention.
B．By getting rid of solar panels and batteries.
C．By redirecting and using power from nearby sources.
D．By using a traditional power distribution mapping system.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Grid Modernization: A Road to Self Healing
B．Self-Healing Grid Technology: Full of Potential
C．Al-Driven Rerouting: Key to Energy-Efficiency
D．Al: Preventing Power Cuts with Machine Learning

The world cheered when 12 boys and their football coach, who had been trapped in a cave in northern Thailand for over two weeks, were rescued on July 10．The coach, a 25-year-old former monk named Ekapol Chantawong, reportedly taught the boys meditation to pass the time, stay calm, and conserve energy. 36 So, what exactly is meditation, and can it truly be beneficial
Meditation, a practice with roots in various philosophies, fundamentally involves mindfulness of the present moment. In mindfulness meditation, individuals strive to shift attention away from distracting thoughts and focus only on the here and now. 37 Even briefly silencing one’s mind amidst work pressures or digital distractions requires practice.
Meditation contributes to improving not just mental, but physical health as well. Studies have shown that it can increase immune function and reduce chronic pain. Meditation has also proven to be effective in decreasing instances of depression, anxiety and stress. It can also sharpen your mind, help your focus and attention, and improve your memory. 38
39 A few minutes each day can make a difference. Set aside both time and space, because rushing through it would defeat the purpose. Wear comfortable clothing and find a quiet spot away from distractions like TVs or pets. Sit cross-legged on the floor or upright in a chair, avoiding lying down to prevent sleepiness. As you settle, breathe deeply and observe your immediate sensations without judgment.
Initially, it might be tough to quiet the noise in your head. 40 Over time, meditation will definitely become a comfortable and rewarding practice, fostering inner peace and enhancing overall wellbeing.
A．Keep practicing and don’t give up!
B．To embark on a meditation journey, start small.
C．Guided meditations can help beginners get started.
D．Mindfulness can be applied to everyday activities.
E．Despite its simplicity, mastering this technique can be challenging.
F．That is why some schools have started teaching mindfulness techniques.
G．This practice did help them maintain mental strength during hardship.

In a small town, there lived an old woman named Mrs. Thompson who was known for her kind heart. However, she had been living alone since her husband passed away and her reclusive（隐居的）nature kept her a bit apart from others. She lived a lonely life, with her well-tended garden as her only comfort. The garden was an abundance of colors, filled with roses, daisies, and various herbs. Each plant was cared for with her full love and attention.
One day, a young girl named Lily moved into the neighborhood. Lily was a curious and friendly child, but she had been through a difficult time as she was recovering from a serious illness and was often sad and lonely.
One afternoon, Lily was walking past Mrs. Thompson’s house and was attracted by the beautiful garden. She pecked over the fence and saw Mrs. Thompson tending to the flowers. Mrs. Thompson noticed Lily and invited her in. Lily was hesitant at first but then walked in with a shy smile.
Mrs. Thompson showed her around the garden and told her about the different plants and their uses. She picked a few herbs and made a cup of tea for Lily, saying it was good for her health. Lily drank the tea and felt a warmth and comfort she hadn’t felt in a long time.
As the days passed, Lily became a frequent visitor to the garden. Mrs. Thompson taught her how to plant seeds, water the plants, and take care of them. Lily’s health gradually improved, and she started to smile and laugh more.
However, one day, Mrs. Thompson fell ill and was hospitalized. Learning of this, Lily rushed to the hospital to ensure her well-being. During their conversation, she knew Mrs. Thompson was worried about her garden, fearing that without her care, the flowers and herbs she cherished would wither（枯萎）.

An Unforgettable Eco-Friendly Hiking Event
Last weekend, I participated in an eco-friendly hiking event organized by our school, themed “Protecting the Green Begins with Me.”
The event commenced at 8 a. m. on Saturday and concluded around noon. It started from the school gate and led us through a picturesque route within the nearby national park. Throughout the hike, participants were buried in actively picking up litter on the ground to maintain the natural beauty. Moreover, we made every endeavour to spread the importance of preserving the environment to others and encouraged them to adopt greener habits.
In conclusion, this experience was so meaningful that it reinforced my responsibility of protecting our environment as an individual.
第二节
Lily decided to take up the responsibility in her place. Equipped with the skills Mrs. Thompson had taught her, Lily began to tend the garden. She watered the plants gently, making sure each one got the right amount and carefully removed the weeds that threatened the flowers. Lily treated the garden as if it were her own, determined to keep it blooming until Mrs. Thompson recovered. She even made herbal tea and took it to the hospital, hoping it could also help Mrs. Thompson recover faster. When seeing the tea, Mrs. Thompson smiled an understanding simile and drank it. With time passing by, Mrs. Thompson was getting better and the day of her hospital release arrived. Lily went to collect her merrily.
Accompanied by Lily, Mrs. Thompson returned home. As she stepped into her beloved garden, she was amazed to see how well-maintained it was. The flowers were blooming beautifully, and the herbs were flourishing. She felt a warm glow in her heart, knowing that Lily had taken great care of her precious garden in her absence. Mrs. Thompson expressed her sincere gratitude, tears blurring her eyes. From that day on, Lily continued to visit Mrs. Thompson and help her with the garden. Their bond grew stronger, and they became like family to each other. They no longer felt lonely and enjoyed together the beauty and tranquility the garden brought to them.

【导语】本文探讨了狨（marmosets）这种小型且可爱的南美猴类在社会互动中的复杂性，特别是它们使用特定叫声“phee calls”作为名字进行交流的独特方式。这一发现不仅揭示了狨的社会结构复杂性，还为理解人类早期祖先的社交沟通和语言发展提供了线索。
28．D 根据第一段“A naming system like this is no trivial discovery in any species, considering how few wild animals are known to have one.”（在任何物种中，这样的命名系统都不是微不足道的发现，考虑到很少有野生动物已知拥有这种系统。）。原句说像这样的命名系统在任何物种中都不是“trivial”发现，结合后文提到鉴于已知拥有这种（命名系统）的野生动物很少，说明它是比较重要的发现。因此，选项D是正确的。
29．D 根据第二段话“They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups.”（他们发现狨猴使用phee calls进行轮流对话，并且这些叫声还能传递关于发出叫声者的细节信息。这些叫声的独特特征和灵活性表明，狨猴可能会用它们在社交群体中互相标记和交流。）。因此，选项D是正确的。
30．C 根据第三段“Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight.”（在这些茂密的树冠中, 能见度有限，但使用声音标签作为名字可能有助于狨猴在彼此看不见的时候保持联系，并作为一个群体一起合作。）。根据文章第四段的描述，狨生活在茂密的树冠中，能见度有限，但通过使用声音标签作为名字可以帮助它们在彼此视线之外保持社会联系和群体凝聚力。因此，选项C是正确的。
31．B 根据最后一段“These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods.”（这些相似之处表明, 它们面临着与我们早期非语言祖先相似的进化社会挑战，这可能导致它们发展出类似的沟通方法。）。根据文章最后一段的描述，狨与早期人类祖先面临相似的进化社会挑战，这可能导致它们发展出类似的沟通方法。因此，选项B是正确的。
D
【导语】本文探讨了利用人工智能（AI）实现电网自愈技术的研究进展。这项技术旨在通过自动化检测和修复电力中断等问题，提高电网的韧性和效率。
32．A 根据第二段“Power grids worldwide face challenges from increasing extreme weather events, cyberattacks, and rising demand.

33．D 根据第三段“Once trained, this AI-driven system can reroute electrical flow in microseconds, vastly outpacing current processes involving classical engineering techniques or human intervention, which can take minutes to hours.”（一旦经过训练，这个由AI驱动的系统可以在微秒内重新路由电流，在速度上大大超过当前涉及传统工程技术或人为干预的流程，这些流程可能需要几分钟到几小时。）。使用AI在自愈电网系统中的优势在于它显著加快了重新路由电力的过程。因此，选项D是正确的。
34．C 根据第四段“An example of knowledge gained from such experience would be if a line fault blocks electricity, the system can rearrange using switches and draw power from neighbouring sources, like solar panels or batteries on a university campus or business.”（从这样的经验中获得的一个例子是，如果线路故障导致电力中断，系统可以通过开关重新配置，并从邻近来源获取电力，比如大学校园或企业上的太阳能电池板或电池。）。当系统处理线路故障阻断电力时，它会通过重定向和使用附近来源的电力来应对。因此，选项C是正确的。
35．B本文介绍了研究人员开发了一种使用AI技术的“自愈电网”技术，能够自动检测和修复电力故障，如暴风雨损坏的电线。该技术在测试网络中表现出色，能迅速重新分配电力流向，尽管在将这个系统应用于实际电网之前还需要进一步的研究，但研究人员表示，这对于国家问题重重的电网来说仍然是一个令人兴奋的进展。因此，“自愈电网”技术很有潜力。因此选项B是正确的。
第二节【导语】本文主要介绍了冥想的定义、好处以及如何开始练习冥想。
36．G 根据上下文，教练 Ekapol Chantawong教孩子们冥想来帮助他们在被困期间保持冷静和保存能量。因此，选项G“This practice did help them maintain mental strength during hardship.”最符合上下文，表明这种练习确实帮助他们在困境中保持心理力量。
37．E 此选项强调了冥想虽然简单，但掌握起来并不容易。它与前文提到的“mediation，a practice with roots in various philosophies”相呼应, 说明尽管冥想有其哲学根源和看似简单的本质，但要真正精通却需要时间和努力。这与后文提到的“Even briefly silencing one’s mind amidst work pressures or digital distractions requires practice.”（即使在工作压力或数字干扰下暂时静心也需要练习）紧密相连，表明了冥想的复杂性和挑战性。
38．F前一句提到冥想对提高注意力、记忆力等方面的益处，因此需要一个句子来进一步解释这些益处的影响。选项F“That is why some schools have started teaching mindfulness techniques.”说明了为什么一些学校开始教授正念技巧，与前文衔接紧密。
39．B 这一段开始介绍如何开始冥想，需要一个引导句。选项B“To embark on a meditation journey，start small.”提供了这样的引导，告诉读者开始冥想旅程要从小事做起。
40．A前一句提到一开始可能会很难让头脑安静下来，因此需要一个鼓励性的句子来激励读者继续练习。选项A“Keep practicing and don’ t give up!”正是这样一个鼓励性的句子，告诉读者要继续练习不要放弃。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节【导语】这篇文章讲述了 Noland Keaulana，一位夏威夷原住民水上救援者，在接到一名17岁少年 KahiauKawai失踪的消息后，与其他救援人员一起进行了长达8小时的搜救。最终在海上找到了 Kahiau并将其成功救起的故事。
41．A句意：一个周三晚上，他像往常一样正在值班，这时他的对讲机上收到了一条关于檀香山海岸外一名 17 岁失踪男孩卡希奥·卡瓦伊的消息。perform one’s duty“履行某人的职责”，故选 performing。
42．B句意：Kahiau在高中练习时独木舟翻倒后意外漂走了。根据语境可知，此处描述的是 Kahiau在独木舟翻倒后的情况，故选 floated away, 意为“漂走”。
43．C 句意：当Keaulana和其他救援人员前往海洋时。make one’s way to表示“前往某地”，符合语境,故选 made。
44．D句意：Kahiau在与强流搏斗，并在躺在独木舟上和踩水之间来回切换。根据语境可知，Kahiau 在尝试不同的方式以应对困境，故选 switching, 意为“转换”。
45．B句意：那里相当艰难，波浪非常强大，我就是无法抵抗洋流。根据语境以及上文“Kahiau was struggling against strong currents”可知，Kahiau 描述了海洋环境的恶劣，故选rough，意为“艰难的”。
46．D句意：那里相当艰难，波浪非常强大，我就是无法抵抗洋流。根据上文“strong currents”可知，此处应填 current, 意为“洋流”。
47．A句意：消防部门迅速派出多艘船只、飞机和超过50名人员。根据语境可知，此处描述的是救援行动的展开，故选 sent out，意为“派出”。

51．C 句意: 他们通过无线电联系了最近的船只上的 Keaulana。根据第一段“he received an alert on his walkie-talkie（对讲机）”以及常识,飞机和船只之间的通信通常使用无线电设备，尤其是在海上。这种通信方式比电话更为常见和实用，因为无线电可以在远距离和开阔水域中传输信号，而手机信号可能无法覆盖这些区域。因此，“radioed”更准确地描述了在这种特定情况下使用的通信方式，无线电是常用的通信方式，故选 radioed，意为“通过无线电联系”。

第二节 56．matured 考查动词的时态。“中国茶道起源于汉代，宋代成熟。”，此处需要填入一个谓语动词,与前面的 was born以及后面的 flourished并列,描述 tea art 的不同发展阶段。因此，应使用过去分词形式“matured”。
57．itself 考查代词的使用。“中国茶道使其自身成为了一个文化和精神的象征，代表着高尚的品格。”，此处需要填入一个反身代词“itself”。
58．detailing 考查非谓语。根据句意，“陆羽的作品《茶经》促进了茶文化的繁荣，在一章中详细描述了28种不同的茶具。”，此处需要填入一个与《茶经》表示主动关系的非谓语动词形式。因此，应使用过去分词形式“detailing”。
59．as 考查介词。根据句意,“‘茶筅’作为搅拌茶叶的勺子被加入到茶具中。”，“function as”的意思为“起到……的作用：充当”。因此，应使用介词“as”。
60．competitive 考查词性转换。根据句意，“一种基于饮茶的比赛游戏在这段时间获得了很高的声誉。”，因此, 应使用 compete的形容词形式“competitive”。
61．a 考查冠词。句意同上。“acquired a good reputation”意为“获得好的声誉”。因此，应使用冠词“a”。
62．versions 考查名词复数。根据句意，“明清时期，茶具回归到更简单的陶器和瓷器，但它们比唐代的版本更加精致。”，此处需要名词的复数形式因此，应用“version”的复数形式“versions”。
63．whose 考查关系代词。根据句意，“白色的茶具套装与散装茶叶的绿色相得益彰，变得更加受欢迎。”，这是一个定语从句，修饰“tea sets”。其中“whose colour”指的是茶具的颜色。因此，应使用关系代词“whose”。
64．Remarkably 考查副词的用法。此处需要用副词形式来修饰整个句子，因此将形容词“remarkable”转换为副词形式“remarkably”。
65．being kept 考查动名词及其被动形式。根据句意，“用宜兴紫砂茶具泡的茶，即使在炎热的夏天，放在陶器里一晚上后仍能尝到好滋味。”，after在此处是介词，介词后需要用v-ing，且省略的主语是 tea，与动词 keep之间是被动关系因此，应使用“being kept”。
第四部分 写作
第一节写作思路分析
一、文章结构 本次写作可采用三段式结构。第一段介绍活动背景与目的，引出环保徒步活动；第二段详细描述活动的时间、路线以及在徒步过程中采取的具体环保行动；第三段阐述自己参与此次活动的感想与收获，升华主题，强调环保的重要性以及个人行动对保护环境的积极意义。
二、内容要点
Para.1 点明主题：简要提及学校组织了“保护绿色，从我做起”的志愿者环保徒步活动，以及活动举办的背景是为了提高学生环保意识、倡导绿色生活方式等。
Para.2 时间和路线：清晰说明活动开展的时间（例如 last Saturday morning），详细描述徒步路线（如从学校出发，途经公园、河边等具体地点）。
环保行动：列举在徒步过程中的环保行为，如携带垃圾袋，沿途捡拾垃圾（包括塑料瓶、废纸、包装袋等各种垃圾）；向路人宣传环保知识，发放自制的环保宣传手册，讲解垃圾分类的重要性、绿色出行的益处等；观察并记录沿途的生态环境状况，如河流是否清澈、树木植被是否健康等，为后续的环保研究或改善措施提供参考。
Para.3 感想：表达参与活动后的内心感受，如对大自然更加热爱和敬畏，意识到个人力量虽小，但集体行动能产生巨大影响：强调环保需要持续努力，每个人都应积极承担起保护环境的责任，共同守护地球家园。
第二节【导语】本篇读后续写的故事讲述了一个孤独的老妇人 Mrs. Thompson和她精心照料的花园，以及她与新邻居 Lily之间逐渐建立起来的深厚情谊。
【详解】段落续写：续写第一段：这一段可以写 Lily开始行动，如何照看花园的，比如，浇水，除草。她精心呵护每一株植物，让花园在 Mrs. Thompson住院期间依然保持生机。并且还可以提到 Lily为 Mrs. Thompson制作草本茶，希望她能快速康复（呼应原文）。最后，为了衔接下段首句, 所以要提及 Mrs. Thompson 出院。
续写第二段：先描述 Mrs. Thompson看到花园时的表情和反应，她可能会惊讶和感动得热泪盈眶，因为花园依然焕发生机或者比她想象中更加繁茂美丽。然后可以写两人在花园中的互动，Mrs. Thompson对 Lily表示感谢, Lily 给 Mrs. Thompson端来一杯草本茶（协同原文）。自此以后，她们共同照料这个花园，她们也将继续在这个充满爱的花园里度过更多美好的时光，彼此陪伴，不再孤独。
