Bright and early on the morning of our first full day in Antarctica, L’Austral’s Captain Fabien’s voice woke us
up as it came through a loudspeaker. If we looked outside right now, he said, we’d see a beautiful sea of icebergs in
the golden sunlight. My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice.
In the distance, we spotted a group of humpback whales feeding on smaller fishes. Next door, my parents were also
waking up to the sights of a new day in Antarctica. Over breakfast, my sister and I excitedly told them about the
whales we saw from our room that morning.
You might not immediately think of “family vacation” when talking about a trip to Antarctica, but tour
companies like Adventures by Disney are changing that. The company offers guided group trips to destinations
across all seven continents in the world.
Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day.
After leaving Buenos Aires, we flew to Ushuaia on an Adventures by Disney plane. Then, it was the journey
toward the Drake Passage. After a speedy Drake Passage crossing, we reached Antarctica early, adding a half day
to our scheduled four days on and around the continent.
To those unfamiliar with Adventures by Disney, the fact that you can experience Antarctica — the most
distant, extreme continent — with Disney might be surprising. During the trip, there were thoughtful acts, from
stamped postcards to send from an Antarctica post office to a champagne (香槟) party on our final stop of the
journey. Adventures by Disney truly thought of everything for us. Antarctica is a life-changing destination packed
with experiences that can’t be copied. We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked
up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne. And honestly, it’s going to be hard for the next
family trip we may take to compete.
4. How did the family cross the Drake Passage
A. By private plane. B. By cruise ship. C. By ferry. D. By helicopter.
5. What happened first on the author’s journey
A. They flew to Ushuaia.
B. They passed through the Drake Passage.
C. They travelled around Buenos Aires.
D. They hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals.
6. What can we infer about their travel from the last paragraph
A. The author might feel bad when crossing the Drake Passage.
第 4页/共 17页
B. The author was the most impressed by the champagne party.
C. The author believes that their next travel will be more thrilling.
D. The author thought an Antarctica post office should be established.
7. Which can serve as the best title for the text
A. An Antarctic Expedition: Comfort and Adventure Combined
B. A Family’s Antarctic Journey: Memories of a Lifetime
C. Scientific Exploration: A Family’s Antarctic Mission
D. Wildlife Discovery: Exploring Antarctica’s Animal Kingdom

From Crisis to Community Currency
The financial crisis of 2008 sent shockwaves throughout many countries in the Eurozone, and indeed the
world. One of the hardest hit nations was Greece. For many Greeks this meant being thrown onto the breadline or
worse still, plunging below the line of poverty. For others, the credit crunch (信贷紧缩) prevented them from using
credit cards as their debts mounted. While most people felt hopeless, many decided to take the bull by the horns.
When residents of the small town of Volos found themselves struggling to afford even essential items in euros,
what they did was to come up with an alternative currency. They pay for the goods in TEM, TEM being a local
alternative currency that people can earn by offering their services or goods to others.
The TEM system, which brings to mind the ancient bartering system, operates on an exchange basis. Members
of the TEM community gain credit by doing jobs for other people or selling them their own produce. For example,
by selling clothes in TEM at the market, a trader could get language or computer lessons in return. As one
stall-holder at the market put it, “We have reached the bottom of our lives and we now have to think in a different
way.”
But it’s not only at the local market that TEM is accepted. Even well-established local shops in Volos will
accept both TEM and euros. In some cases, payment can be made in part euro and part TEM. Hard-up customers
can, therefore, make more affordable purchases and store owners can cover their costs.
So, how does the system operate in practical terms The system, which has been developed online, requires
members to have TEM accounts. These accounts, which are credited when they earn TEM and debited when they
make a purchase, are closely regulated by founding members of the TEM community.
But for those who feel that parallel currencies are too complicated a matter, they can turn to another
organization called Peliti. 2002 was the year when Peliti was set up as a national network for the exchange of goods
第 5页/共 17页
and services without money. Peliti differs from the TEM system as it works purely by bartering. So if, for example,
you grow cucumbers and you want someone to cut your hair, you can find a hairdresser in your area who will agree
to be paid in cucumbers!
These organizations prove that ordinary people can find a way to survive when the going gets tough. When
you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain from alternative ways of life.
8. In the context of the passage, the underlined phrase “to take the bull by the horns” most probably means
“_________”.
A. to deal with the problem bravely
B. to avoid facing a difficult situation
C. to accept help from others when in trouble
D. to wait patiently for the situation to improve
9. Why was the TEM system created in Volos
A. People feared that the euro would disappear.
B. Credit cards were no longer issued to Greeks.
C. A substitute currency for the euro had to be found.
D. Some people had difficulty paying for goods in euros.
10. According to the passage, the TEM currency can be used ________.
A. only at the market in Volos
B. in other countries of the Eurozone
C. in shops and at the market in Volos
D. in shops and markets throughout Greece
11. In comparison with the TEM system, the most significant difference of Peliti is that ________.
A. it operates nationwide
B. it relies merely on service exchange
C. it doesn’t involve an alternative currency
D. its members must produce their own goods
D
A general artificial intelligence (AI) agent developed by a low-profile team backed by Chinese investors and
developers has quickly gained attention in the AI community for its ability to handle complex, real-world tasks.
Manus, currently available as a invitation-only web preview, can perform practical tasks such as creating a
第 6页/共 17页
custom website through a step-by-step process, according to a demonstration vide on its website manus.im.
The website also listed tasks that can be done by the Manus AI agent, which include devising a plan for a tip
to an, providing an in-depth analysis of Tesla’s stock, creating an interactive course for middle-school teachers,
comparing different insurance policies, and assisting in business-to-business supplier sourcing, among others.
It also claims that Manus can outperform OpenAI’s Deep Research based on the GAIA benchmark, a
third-party measure of general AI assistants.
While Manus has provided little information about its corporate structure, its team and underlying models for
the agent, the demo video has triggered massive interest. The video, published on X on Wednesday night, had
received over 200,000 views by noon Thursday, with many moments asking for an invitation code to try the agent.
The sudden popularity of Manus among the AI community is similar to the buzz that followed the launch of
DeepSeek’s R1 reasoning model in January.
A general-purpose AI agent, which can interact with its environment, collect data and use the data to handle
tasks to meet predetermined goals, is widely seen as the future of AI applications. Based on its demo, Manus is able
to autonomously browse websites, effectively use capabilities and display its workflow in real-time. The product is
being described by its developer as “a general AI agent that bridges minds and actions: it doesn’t just think, it
delivers results”.
The demo video is hosted by “Peak” Ji Yichao, a 33-year-old Chinese entrepreneur and tech enthusiast who
created the mobile browser Mammoth and founded Peak Labs in the US.
According to sources in China’s venture capital industry, the team behind Manus previously developed
Monica AI, a popular AI assistant with millions of users that was capable of integrating various large AI models.
Monica is available as a browser extension and as an app across mobile and desktop platforms. The founding
team of Monica includes Xiao Hong, a serial entrepreneur and 2015 graduate from Huazhong University of Science
and Technology.
12. What can Manus AI agent do according to the passage
A. Diagnose medical conditions through image scanning.
B. Create custom websites and analyze Tesla’s stock.
C Control smart home devices via voice commands.
D. Translate languages in real-time during video calls.
13. What is the GAIA benchmark used to evaluate
第 7页/共 17页
A. Performance of general Al assistants.
B. Processing speed of Al chips.
C. Accuracy of language translation models.
D. Energy efficiency of computing systems.
14. What do we know about the Manus development team
A. It is led by a Harvard graduate.
B. It cooperates with Tesla engineers.
C. It originated from a university lab.
D. It previously created Monica AI.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To compare different AI models
B. To criticize limitations of existing AI
C. To introduce a new Al agent’s capabilities
D. To explain technical principles of GAIA

How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers, at least so far. Data leaks, surveillance (监视) worries
and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers
anxious.___16___ Fortunately, there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air. These tips can help
you deal with these troubles.
___17___ “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range
of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny McLoughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until

Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts
are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in

Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles—or mishandles—your data, you can take reasonable
steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble. ___19___ But some of the worst data leaks happen
when you’re staying at a hotel. For example, a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your
第 8页/共 17页
room number after you’ve checked in. You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for
your name and asking him/her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why ___20___ Just to be sure,
never leave the customer copy behind. You can destroy it later, but keep it under your control.
A It’s never been better.
B. Perhaps they shouldn’t be.
C. Never broadcast your journey on social media.
D. There are other people on the other side of the wall.
E. However, travelers are not powerless against these threats.
F. Some travelers only offer the bare minimum, such as a P.O.box instead of a home address.
G. Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear, leave.

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。
I was doing homework with my friend Ollie at his home when he randomly started scribbling (乱画) a fish.
第 11页/共 17页
But not just any fish. This fish was riding a skateboard and blowing a bubble that said “I’d rather be skating!”I
laughed and drew a sea star saying “Quit fooling around and get to work!”
Just then, Ollie’s grandma Abuela and her friend Mr. Goldberg came into the kitchen. Mr. Goldberg was in
charge of the local animal shelter. Abuela poured their tea and inquired about how things were going at the animal
shelter. Mr. Goldberg sighed, shaking his head. He explained that not enough people were adopting pets, resulting
in too many animals without homes.
Overhearing the conversation, Ollie offered to adopt some excitedly. But Abuela said that one noisy parrot
was plenty for this house.
“Blue isn’t noisy,” defended Ollie. “He’s just musical.”
“I’d have a whole farm full of animals if I could,” I said. “But my parents say two cats and a hamster (仓鼠)
are enough.”
Mr. Goldberg said he kept trying to attract people to adopt animals, but found it hard to get people’s attention
these days. Ollie drew a sad whale, and I wrote the words “Please adopt me” in the shape of a whale spout (喷水).
Mr. Goldberg took a look at our drawings and made favorable comments on them, saying that these clever talking
animals just might grab people’s attention. And he asked us if we were willing to design a poster for his animal
shelter, a proposal we happily accepted. We decided to draw some ideas on our own and meet up again the next
afternoon.
That night, when I was sitting in the living room brainstorming ideas for the poster, my little brother brought
in our hamster, Mr. Nibbles, to give him a little run-around time. He made a hamster playground out of couch
pillows and Mr. Nibbles began to run around merrily.
Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind.

【答案】Dear Sir/Madam,
On seeing the information in the school newspaper, I learned that Johnson is scheduled to study as an
exchange student in our school. I sincerely hope my family can have the honor to be a host family.
My parents are caring and friendly. Our home is next to the city center where you can easily get access to
shopping and convenient transportation. What’s more, we can offer one separate room for the student. As for me, I
have a good command of English so that he can feel free to communicate with me in daily life. So I am convinced I
will be a qualified host. If given the chance, I’ll invite him to join in my family get-together. Besides, we can show
him around the city, getting him to know more about the real life and culture in China.
In a word, I’m eager to provide an impressive trip for the foreign friend. I hope you can take my application
into consideration. Thank you in advance.
Yours,
Li Hua

【47 题答案】
【答案】
Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind. Why not put Mr. Nibbles on the poster I eagerly sketched out a design
featuring Mr. Nibbles in a playful pose, promoting the joy of pet adoption, "Want a pet to play with Go get one in
the local animal shelter." I admired my work with great satisfaction. The next afternoon, Ollie came over with his
notebook. His design was centered on his parrot, Blue, who was singing beautifully "Oh! Be our hero! Give shelter
pets a chance to be loved!" We exchanged a smile and engaged in a discussion about the final draft of the poster.
We decided to make both Mr. Nibbles and Blue the stars of the bining my playful hamster and
Ollie's melodious parrot, we created a vibrant and eye-catching design. After adding the final touches, we proudly
presented our final creation to Mr. Goldberg. His faces lit up as he praised the creativity and heartfelt message
behind our design. A couple of months later, Mr. Goldberg shared the exciting news that lots of people had come in
after seeing the posters. And some of them decided to donate or adopt! We hadn't expected our poster would cause
such a sensation, but we did know our small bit of help would create a meaningful ripple.
