A
There are always some places that seem to go well beyond our earthly
expectations. These incredible locations are similar to those in science fictions,
transporting us to otherworldly grounds.
Cappadocia, Turkey
Located in central Anatolia, the area is known for its unusual rock structures
known as “fairy chimneys.” These columns, produced by volcanoes and gradual
damage from water over millions of years, give the region its otherworldly
appearance.
Tsingy de Bemaraha, Madagascar
The remarkable sight attracts visitors with its unique limestone structures.
Stretching over 1,500-square kilometers, Tsingy, which means “where one cannot
walk barefoot,” contains sharp surfaces and underground caves, forming a dramatic
landscape. Adventurers can explore the park via bridges and ladders to witness the
breathtaking beauty of this natural wonder.
Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park, China
Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in
China, contains landforms that are one of nature’s masterpieces. Its vivid,
rainbow-colored rock structures have been shaped by wind and water erosion over
millions of years. The layers of red, orange and yellow create a never-before-seen
landscape for many people that looks as if it were on a different planet altogether.
Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Located within the remarkable landscapes of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the
cenotes present a place of otherworldly beauty. These natural sinkholes, created by the
collapse of their limestone base, open up into charming underground caves and
shining pools. Rays of sunlight dance through the openings in the walls, lighting up
the waters below, telling a tale of nature’s artistry.
Visiting these places not only provides a visual feast, but also reminds us of the
incredible wonder here on Earth.
21. What created the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia
A. Volcanoes and water. B. Earthquakes and floods.
C. Wind and sea waves. D. Collapse of limestone base.
22. In which country can visitors appreciate colorful rocks according to the
passage
A. Turkey. B. Madagascar. C. China. D. Mexico.
23. What is the text
A. A science fiction novel. B. A tourism ad.
C. A news report. D. An academic article.
B
A few years ago, I bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵乐高积木) for my dad’s
birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time. Each evening,
my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to piece the model together, faced
with thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged in numbered plastic bags,
accompanied by a thick instruction book.
The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see
our efforts producing good results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the
colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were
amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book
itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided
us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we
would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made
a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again.
Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely gives us such
straightforward instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and
actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my
mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects
doing the assembling (组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled.
We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In
the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the process and the end
result.
Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the
completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It
reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no
instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life
well lived. Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but
rather how we lived it.
24. Why did the author buy the Lego Taj Mahal for his father
A. To decorate their dining room. B. To strengthen their family ties.
C. To teach his dad about Indian culture. D. To improve his dad’s architecture skills.
25. Which of the following best describes the author’s experience of building the
Lego model
A. Simple but tiresome. B. Boring and confusing.
C. Complicated but rewarding. D. Challenging and discouraging.
26. What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model
A. Life’s uncertainty brings more excitement.
B. Life should be planned and shaped carefully.
C. Life seldom provides clear guidance.
D. Following instructions guarantees success in life.
27. What does the completed Lego model mean to the author
A. A symbol of material achievements.
B. The journey of living one’s life well.
C. The importance of following instructions.
D. The value of accompanying family members.
C
If you recently had trouble figuring out if an image of a person is real or
generated through artificial intelligence (AI), you ’ re not alone. According to a new
study from University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, researchers found that people
had more difficulty than was expected distinguishing who is a real person and who is
artificially generated.
The Waterloo study saw 260 participants provided with 20 unlabeled pictures: 10
of which were of real people obtained from Google searches, and the other 10
generated by Stable Diffusion or DALL-E, two commonly used AI programs that
generate images.
Participants were asked to label each image as real or AI-generated and explain
why they made their decision. Only 61% of participants could tell the difference
between AI-generated people and real ones, far below the 85% threshold (门槛) that
researchers expected. “People are not as adept at telling the difference as they think
they are,” said Andrea Pocol, a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University
of Waterloo.
Participants paid attention to details such as fingers, teeth, and eyes as possible
indicators when looking for AI-generated content — but their assessments weren ’t
always correct. Pocol noted that the nature of the study allowed participants to
compare photos in detail, while most Internet users look at images in passing.
“People who are just scrolling through online information in a rush or don’t have time
won’t pick up on these clues,” Pocol said.
Pocol added that the extremely rapid rate at which AI technology is developing
makes it particularly difficult to understand the potential for ill-intentioned or illegal
action caused by AI-generated images. The pace of academic research and
law-making isn’t often able to keep up: AI-generated images have become even more
realistic since the study began in late 2022.
“Disinformation isn’t new, but the tools of disinformation have been constantly
evolving and progressing, ” Pocol said. “ It may get to a point where people, no
matter how trained they are, will still struggle to distinguish real images from false
ones. That’s why we need to develop tools to identify and prevent this.”
28. What does the underlined phrase “adept at” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Skillful at. B. Concerned with. C. Puzzled about. D. Curious about.
29. What caused the unsatisfying result of the experiment
A. Failing to receive professional training.
B. Lacking enough attention to the details.
C. Shortage of experts’ guidance
D. Ignoring facial expressions.
30. What’s Pocol’s advice on dealing with disinformation
A. Providing people with related training.
B. Banning the spread of disinformation.
C. Doing some field research in person.
D. Designing tools to recognize and stop it.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Methods of distinguishing disinformation.
B. Challenges caused by AI-generated images.
C. Difficulties in telling AI-generated images.
D. Differences between real and false images.

Cycling advocates in Canada’s Province of British Columbia (B.C.) hope a new
U.S. study will boost the case to allow cyclists to yield, which means to slow down
and pass without stopping fully, at stop signs and safely roll through intersections (道
路交叉口). While it’s the law like B.C. for cyclists to stop at stop signs, like every
other road user, it’s common to see people on two wheels choose an illegal yield —
rolling past the sign after checking it’s safe to pass through. “It makes it a lot more
efficient,” said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper about getting through intersections.
“I’m not going to come to a full stop. You know, the amount of energy it takes to stop
my entire bike and get it going again — it just doesn’t make sense.”
The argument over whether rolling stops — that is, no need to stop completely,
but pass slowly — should be legalized has been ongoing since the early 1980s when
the state of Idaho first made it legal, resulting in the move being named the Idaho stop.
Several other U.S. states have since followed suit, including Oregon. Canada hasn’t
yet adopted laws for rolling stops for bikes.
Cycling advocates in B.C. say they’ve been pushing the issue for years and hope
a new study from researchers at Oregon State University, published this month in an
academic transportation journal, will aid their argument.
The Oregon study says with proper education for both cyclists and drivers, Idaho
stops do not lead either riders or drivers to act unsafely. Researchers observed 60
people paired off who went through 16 virtual interaction scenes as either cyclist or
driver, coming together at a four-way-stop intersection. They found that instead of
drivers being angry toward cyclists who appeared to be breaking the law by rolling
through, driving participants approached intersections either more slowly or at a
similar pace after being educated about what bicycle rolling stops were.
Nearly four out of five crashes involving cyclists in B.C. happen at intersections.
“This research gives decision-makers information to support prospective legal
policies, set up educational programs and design strong enforcement ( 执 行 )
practices,” said Hurwitz, one of the researchers.
32. What is Ben Cooper’s opinion about cyclists’ yielding at stop signs
A. It’s more effective. B. It’s against the law.
C. It’s a waste of time. D. It’s dangerous for cyclists.
33. What is the result of the study at Oregon State University
A. Rolling stops always cause more accidents.
B. Suitable education ensures safe “Idaho stops”.
C. Study shows rolling stops should be banned.
D. Drivers are mad at cyclists yielding at intersections.
34. What is the attitude of Hurwitz towards legalization of yield
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Disproving. D. Supportive.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Citizens Call for a Ban on Rolling Stops
B. Bicycle Safety Tips on Rolling Stops
C. B.C. Cyclists Push for “Idaho Stop” Law
D. Policy Makers Focus on Cyclist-Driver Crashes

项为多余选项。
Reading enriches our lives and transforms us into individuals with good personal
qualities. The more you read, the more you become civilized. Here are a few things I
learned from reading books.
● Yo u learn how to listen.
When you read, you focus on the book to understand whatever it is about. The
amazing thing about it is that your opinion is not wanted. You learn to receive
information without the need to say something. If you disagree in any way, you learn
to silently digest the words you read, thinking why the author wrote that. 36
● You develop empathy (同理心).
If you listen with the purpose of understanding the other person, you learn to
empathize. You try and analyze why a thing is said. Giving your unshakable attention
to the book allows you to focus on only receiving the information. With that complete
attention, you understand the story better. 37 You connect to the characters
and feel for them.
● 38
They say that you are what you eat. 39 You’ll only take interest in books
close to your heart. By judging the titles you have read, the better you understand
your thinking process and eventually, you find who you are as a human being.
● You feel you are understood.
Whether in faith, relationships, or life, we have our personal opinions. But there
are some ideas that are too risky to discuss with others. 40 Now you can say
that you are not crazy for considering unusual ideas.
So, pick up a book and start your journey of self-discovery through reading.
A. You discover yourself.
B. You should respect different opinions in life.
C. But it’s more appropriate to say that you are what you read.
D. If you apply this to actual people, you would be a better listener.
E. When you read widely, you can expose yourself to different ideas.
F. As you read, you’ll be fortunate to find authors who think the same.
G. You understand the writer — the thoughts, emotions, beliefs that he wants you
to know.

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。
In a quiet little town, there was a small park where children would laugh and play.
In the center of this park stood a wooden swing set. Among the children, a
nine-year-old girl named Lily had a special bond with this swing. Every day after
school, she would rush to the park, her backpack bouncing against her back, and
spend hours soaring through the air, her laughter mingling with the wind.
Lily's best friend, Ethan, was a boy who lived next door. They were inseparable,
sharing secrets,dreams, and endless adventures. Often, you would find them on those
swings,their feet barely touching the ground, their imaginations taking them far
beyond the confines of the playground. They dreamed of becoming astronauts,
traveling to outer space, and discovering new worlds together.
One sunny afternoon, Lily tested the limits of the swing. With a determined
push,Ethan soared high,feeling the thrill as the swing reached its top. "Look, Lily! I'm
flying!" Ethan shouted, his laughter ringing through the air. But not far from the park,
his parents watched them with great concerns. There was an uneasy tension growing.
When Ethan came down from the swing, his parents rushed to the swing and took him
home immediately.
Later that evening, Lily cried on the couch, her tears staining the fabric. "Mom,
Ethan said he would not play with me anymore. Why " she asked, worry pooling in
her blue eyes. Her mother took a deep breath, but the words seemed to be trapped in
her throat. "I'm not sure, sweetie. He... He might be leaving for a while.”
Days turned into weeks, and the park felt emptier without Ethan's laughter. Each
swing back and forth felt like a reminder of their vanished adventures. With every
passing day, Lily's heart sank deeper into confusion and sorrow. She hoped that he
would return, refusing to accept that he might not come back again.

【答案】Paragraph 1
Eventually, Lily decided to write a letter to him. She poured out her heart on the paper,
expressing how much she missed their time together on the swings, their shared dreams, and how
empty the park felt without him. She asked him if she had done something wrong and begged him
to come back. She sealed the letter and left it at Ethan's doorstep, hoping it would reach his heart.
Then, she waited anxiously, spending each day checking the park and Ethan's house, but there was
no sign of him. Doubt and worry filled her mind, but she still held onto a glimmer of hope that he
would respond.
Paragraph 2
The next day, Ethan showed up in the park as expected. His eyes were red as if he had been
crying. He ran to Lily and hugged her tightly. He told her that his parents were worried about his
safety on the swing, but he missed her so much. They both promised to be more careful and
continue their adventures, their friendship stronger than ever. After that, they sat on the swings,
recalling the happy memories and sharing the things that had happened during the separation. The
sun shone brightly above them, as if blessing their restored friendship.

it is running like new. He might be available now.
W: Oh, thanks for your advice.

W: I really have no idea what the news is talking about. I’m poor at English.

improve your listening.

M: Hi, Jennings. Guess what My wife just had a baby.
W: Congratulations. Boy or girl
M: Boy. His name is Robert.
W: How much does he weigh
M: He came in at eight pounds eight ounces.
W: Wow! A big boy! How was your wife
M: She and the baby are doing fine! I’m going to the hospital now to visit them.
W: That’s wonderful. I’ll call you later to celebrate the latest addition to your family.
M: Sounds like a plan.

W: Could you please tell my about your previous work
M: Alright. I worked at a travel agency. I had to work six days a week. I got up really early in the
morning when most people, and even the birds and animals were asleep. So tourists could take
photos at sunrise. I used to pick them up from their hotels around five a.m. and then head out of
town and into the desert.
W: Why did you give up your work
M: They wanted to send me to work in Spain. But I got married here. And we had a baby six
months ago. I love my wife and my baby. I don’t want to live alone in Spain. So I left the job
and apply for this position.

M: Michelle, it seems you’ve lost a lot of weight.
W: Yes. Now I just weigh 130 pounds. I’ve lost 30 pounds in the past three months.
M: How did you manage to do that Do you often go to the gym now
W: No, I don’t go to the gym.
M: Then do you often work out at home I heard many women love doing that. My aunt had a
running machine at home and she succeeded in loosing some weight, too.
W: No, I don’t work out at home. Have you heard about Whole 30 That’s what I’ve been trying.
M: Yes. I know that. It requires people to change their eating habits to loose weight.
W: That’s what I do.
M: But I heard many people regain their weight when they stop trying the program. I think it’s
better that you join a gym if you don’t want to regain your weight.
W: Thanks for your advice. I’ll think about that.

Hi everyone, my name’s Marion Fordham and I’m a climate scientist. I’m here today to talk
to you about the history of weather forecasting. Records from as far back as 600 BCE from
Babylon, in ancient Iraq, suggest that cloud shapes were used to make forecasts. Different animal
behaviors were used to predict short-term weather patterns in Japan and many other nations.
Methods of weather forecasting remained unchanged for the next 2,000 years or so, until
technological breakthroughs led to greater accuracy. The first of these, in the mid-15th century,
measured how damp air was. The first thermometer, which was used to measure temperature, was
created in the late 16th century and improved weather predictions. By the start of the 20th century,
a Norwegian scientist employed mathematical calculations for forecasts, starting in 1904. It was
time-consuming, as computers hadn’t been invented yet. In the 1920s, electrical equipment for
recording weather-related data had become more reliable. Airplanes of the time were still unable
to fly high enough to gather relevant information, so balloons performed this role instead, as they
were able to travel up to 30 kilometers above the earth’s surface before bursting. Since the first
satellite to be sent into space specifically to help with forecasts was launched in 1960, this
technology has been a continuous presence above earth.
部分解析：
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段"t makes it a lot more efficient," said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper
aboutgetting through intersections. "I'm not going to come to a full stop. You know, the amount of
energy it takes to stop my entire bike and get it going again it just doesn't make sense. （“大大提
高了效率。”温哥华的自行车手 Ben Cooper在谈到通过十字路口时表示：“我不会停下来的。
你知道，让我的整个自行车停下来并重新启动所需要的能量这太不合理了。"）可知，Ben
Cooper对骑车人在停车标志前减速让行（即不完全停下）的看法是这样更有效，因为停车
在启动自行车需要消耗大量能量。故选 A。
33. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 The Oregon study says with proper education for both cyclists

究能强化允许骑行者在确保安全的前提下，以减速通行(即不完全停车但通过路口）替代完
全停车的法规依据。）可知，本文主要讲的是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省（B.C.）的骑行倡导
者希望美国的一项新研究能支持允许骑行者在停车标志前减速“让行”(即减速通过而无需完
全停止）的提议，C. B.C.Cyclists Push for "daho Stop" Law. (B.C.骑行者推动“爱达荷停车”合
