21. 细节理解题。根据文章Top City: Nairobi部分中的“Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over-400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon.(内罗毕国家公园距离市中心商业区只有很短的车程，是一个必游之地，游客可以在那里看到400多种野生动物在开阔的草原上漫步，而远处的摩天大楼闪闪发光。)”可知，在内罗毕国家公园，游客可以看到400多种野生动物在草原上漫步，因此人们可以在内罗毕国家公园看到各种各样的野生动物。故选C项。
22. 细节理解题。根据Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest部分中的“The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost.(美国中西部，包括芝加哥和底特律等城市，也榜上有名，因为它以合理的价格提供了高质量的旅游体验。)”可知，美国中西部被认为是性价比最高的地点，是因为它以合理的价格提供了高质量的旅游体验，即为游客提供了经济实惠的体验。故选B项。
23. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2025.(你正在为你的下一个旅行目的地寻找灵感吗？孤独星球已经公布了每年的最佳旅行目的地名单。让我们来探索一下2025年最受欢迎的旅游目的地。)”及下文对内罗毕、蒙古、西班牙和美国中西部的介绍可知，文章主要是向读者介绍孤独星球公布的2025年最佳旅游目的地，即文章的主要目的是为了告知读者相关信息。故选C项。
B
My mother-in-law asked me to climb a mountain in her rural village. We went through tall and weedy expanse of grass, pulling ourselves up with the help of smooth bamboo trees. Weathered gray rocks dotted tracks only visible to an experienced hiker. The view we were rewarded with halfway up the mountain, fixing our eyes upon the colorful pieces of fields and whitewashed homes set against the deep green hills and a sky so blue that it looked digitally polished, was a side benefit of being there.
Our eyes were mostly on the wild eatable plants that grew on the mountainside. We first came upon the wild mountain bamboo, a plant that was the main part in my mother-in-law’s salted bamboo shoots that, once preserved, could be used all year long in cooking. Along the way, we also encountered another precious wild food — fiddlehead ferns (蕨菜). Those delicate leaves, when stir-fired, were a tasty treat. Once I had purchased fiddleheads at a market in the US. Yet there we were, picking this prized vegetable on our own, with only our labor as the cost.
What we had collected that afternoon looked the same as any other wild mountain bamboo shoots and fiddlehead ferns I had seen before in my mother-in-law’s kitchen. And yet, they felt different to me because I had used my own hands to help pick them and carry them back down the mountain. Spending time and energy gathering these wild plants gave me a deeper appreciation for the food that ends up on the dinner table.
“Many generations have kept this natural lifestyle. We depend on the mountains for our life,” my mother-in-law says. Those mountains and rivers supporting her life aren’t some abstract concept. They are right there, outside her door and within her rural village. Once I saw them through her angle that afternoon, I realized they are closer to me than I ever imagined.
24. Why was the author asked to climb a mountain
A. To pull some bamboo trees. B. To enjoy its beautiful scenery.
C. To get some wild vegetables. D. To lake some digital pictures.
25. What made the picked fiddlehead ferns different
A. The fresh leaves. B. The input of labor. C. The rich nutrition. D. The help from Mother-in-law.
26. What does the author want to show by quoting her mother-in-law
A. Nature feeds villagers and sustains their life. B. City people want to settle down in mountains.
C. Rural areas are inaccessible to some outsiders. D. Farmers dream of changing the natural lifestyle.
27. How does the author sound when telling the story
A. Humorous. B. Anxious. C. Satisfied. D. Tolerant.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者跟随婆婆去爬山，以采摘野生的蔬菜。从这次经历中，作者对餐桌上的食物有了更加深刻的认识，并感受到了大自然的博大。
24. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Our eyes were mostly on the wild eatable plants that grew on the mountainside.(我们的目光主要集中在山坡上生长的野生可食用植物上)”可知，作者被邀请爬山是要去采摘野生蔬菜。故选C项。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Along the way, we also encountered another precious wild food — fiddlehead ferns (蕨菜). Those delicate leaves, when stir-fired, were a tasty treat. Once I had purchased fiddleheads at a market in the US. Yet there we were, picking this prized vegetable on our own, with only our labor as the cost. (一路上，我们还遇到了另一种珍贵的野生食物——菜蕨。那些娇嫩的叶子，一炒就是一道美味佳肴。有一次，我在美国的一个市场上买了菜蕨。然而，我们就在那里，独自采摘这种珍贵的蔬菜，只需要我们的劳动力作为成本)”可知，让采摘的蕨菜与众不同的是劳动力的投入，故选B项。
26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Many generations have kept this natural lifestyle. We depend on the mountains for our life,” my mother-in-law says. (“许多代人都保持着这种自然的生活方式。我们的生活依赖于山，”我的婆婆说)”可推知，作者引用婆婆的话是要表达大自然养活了村民，维持了他们的生活。故选A项。
27. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Spending time and energy gathering these wild plants gave me a deeper appreciation for the food that ends up on the dinner table.(花时间和精力收集这些野生植物让我对餐桌上的食物有了更深刻的认识)”以及最后一段“Once I saw them through her angle that afternoon, I realized they are closer to me than I ever imagined.(那天下午，当我从她的角度看到它们时，我意识到它们比我想象的更靠近我)”可推知，作者在讲这个故事时听起来很满足。故选C项。
C
Most people see innovation as a flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use.
To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory, which attributed disease to “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work.
Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945.
Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations, who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the “eureka moment” breaks down.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. An account of a lab story. B. Redefinition of a traditional view.
C. Correction of a popular misconception. D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon.
29. What is the message conveyed about Fleming’s story
A. Great minds think alike. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Luck’s got your back when it comes to success. D. Early work is a steppingstone to later breakthroughs.
30. What does the underlined part “ushering in” mean in paragraph 3
A. Delaying. B. Introducing. C. Predicting. D. Transforming.
31. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes.
B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin.
C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin.
D. The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过讲述青霉素的发现、早期未受重视、后续量产推广的过程，结合塞麦尔维斯在产房推行洗手却遭冷遇的例子，揭示重大创新并非是某个天才“灵光一闪”的产物，而是多方面因素共同作用的结果。
28. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Most people see innovation as a flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. (大多数人将创新视为灵光一现的“尤里卡时刻”（即灵感突现的瞬间），仿佛一声“尤里卡”，新世界便随之诞生。1928年，亚历山大 弗莱明回到实验室时，发现自己培养的细菌培养基被霉菌污染，而霉菌所到之处，细菌菌落均被杀死。他没有简单地从头再来，而是将研究重点转向了这种霉菌。他鉴定出了这种杀菌物质，并将其命名为“青霉素”——看似一蹴而就间，他开创了抗生素这一全新领域。但事实远比这复杂。直到1943年，青霉素才得以广泛应用。)”可知，在第一段中，作者先指出大众对创新的普遍认知，随后通过弗莱明发现青霉素的例子，用“however”转折强调“事实远比这复杂”，即纠正了人们对创新过程的误解。故选C。
29. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. (弗莱明是一位天赋异禀的生物学家，但不擅长沟通。1929年，他发表了自己的研究成果，却几乎无人关注。1935年，霍华德 弗洛里和恩斯特 钱恩发现了弗莱明的论文，意识到其重要性，并开发了批量生产青霉素的方法。到1943年，第二次世界大战正如火如荼，美国战争生产委员会召集21家公司大规模生产青霉素，拯救了无数生命，也开创了抗生素的新时代。弗莱明、弗洛里和钱恩于1945年共同获得诺贝尔医学奖。)”可知，弗莱明的成果最初无人关注，直到弗洛里和钱恩发现其论文并推动量产，最终借助政府和企业资源实现突破。由此可推测，弗莱明的初步发现、弗洛里团队的开发，均体现早期成果为后续突破铺路的逻辑。故选D。
30. 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. (到1943年，第二次世界大战正如火如荼，美国战争生产委员会召集21家公司大规模生产青霉素，拯救了无数生命，也……抗生素的新时代。)”可知，青霉素的大规模生产拯救了生命，由此开启了抗生素的新时代。划线单词的意思和“开创、引入”相似。选项B“introducing”意为“引入”，与此相符。故选B。
31. 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章通过青霉素的发现与应用过程，揭示了创新并非“灵光一现”，而是依赖前人研究积累、团队协作、资源支持等多方面因素的长期过程。选项D“The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens. (青霉素的漫长之路：创新如何发生。)”既涵盖青霉素从发现到应用的漫长过程，又点明文章对创新本质的探讨，契合主旨。故选D。
D
A new study has turned long-standing beliefs about a curious area of medicine. The placebo (安慰剂) effect is a strange medical phenomenon — a sick person starts to feel better after being given a counterfeit treatment they’ve been told is real. The placebo is a pill or spray (喷雾) containing something harmless and ineffective, such as sugar or salt. Even though it is not genuine, the act of taking a medicine and thinking it will work causes the patient’s brain to send signals to the body that relieve some of the symptoms. It has always been believed that the effect only works because of the lie involved. However, a new study has found that placebos can still be effective, even when the patients know what they’ve been given.
The study was led by Darwin A. Guevarra from the University of Michigan in the US. His team took two groups of people and gave them a nose spray. They were then shown different terrible images. While the groups looked at the pictures, the team monitored their brain activity for signals of emotional distress. The first group was told the spray was just to help the scientists with their readings. The second group was told that the spray was a placebo that could reduce feelings of sadness if they believed it would.
Based on the brain signals, the team found the second group showed fewer signs of sadness than the first group. Co-author Jason Moser says the study shows that people don’t need to be lied to for a placebo to work. “Honest” placebos could be a way for doctors to treat patients suffering from certain conditions, such as high stress levels. “You could give them a placebo, tell them it can help them and it is possible — if they believe it can, then it will.”
32. The underlined word “counterfeit” (in para.1) is closest in meaning to __________.
A. natural B. harmful C. effective D. fake
33. Why did Darwin A. Guevarra and his team conduct the study about “placebo”
A. To see if nose spray can help reduce feelings of sadness.
B. To test the effectiveness of a new type of medicine.
C. To prove that the placebo effect is a lie.
D. To explore if a placebo works for patients aware of its lie.
34. It can be inferred from Guevarra’s study that ___________.
A. “honest” placebos could help doctors to treat anxiety.
B. Placebos work only when patents are cheated into believing they are real.
C. Doctors should never use placebos because they can cause harm to patients.
D. Placebos are not effective in treating any medical conditions.
35. What is the passage mainly about
A. A placebo can be used as an effective way to cure diseases like cancer.
B. A sick person must be lied to for a placebo to work.
C. Patients’ trust in a placebo can potentially lead to beneficial effects.
D. “Honest” placebos could be effective for all patients.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于安慰剂效应的新研究，该研究发现即使病人知道他们所服用的是安慰剂，安慰剂仍然可以发挥作用。
32. 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“The placebo is a pill or spray containing something harmless and ineffective, such as sugar or salt. Even though it is not genuine, the act of taking a medicine and thinking it will work causes the patient’s brain to send signals to the body that relieve some of the symptoms. (安慰剂是一种含有无害且无效成分（如糖或盐）的药片或喷雾。尽管它并非真正的药物，但服用药物并相信其有效的行为会促使患者的大脑向身体发送信号，缓解部分症状。长期以来，人们一直认为这种效应之所以起作用，全在于其中包含的“欺骗”成分。)”可知，安慰剂效应是一种奇怪的医学现象——患者在接受一种被其误认为“真实”的虚假治疗后，病情开始好转。由此可知，counterfeit意为“假的”。故选D。
33. 推理判断题。根据第二段“The first group was told the spray was just to help the scientists with their readings. The second group was told that the spray was a placebo that could reduce feelings of sadness if they believed it would. (第一组被告知喷雾只是为了帮助科学家进行测量。第二组被告知，如果他们相信的话，喷雾是一种可以减少悲伤感的安慰剂。)”可知，Darwin A. Guevarra和他的团队想要探索安慰剂对意识到其谎言的病人是否有效。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Co-author Jason Moser says the study shows that people don’t need to be lied to for a placebo to work. “Honest” placebos could be a way for doctors to treat patients suffering from certain conditions, such as high stress levels.(共同作者Jason Moser说，这项研究表明，人们不需要被欺骗，安慰剂就能起作用。“诚实的”安慰剂可能是医生治疗患有某些疾病的患者的一种方法，例如高压力水平的患者。)”可知，从Guevarra的研究中可以推断出，“诚实的”安慰剂可以帮助医生治疗焦虑症。故选A。
35. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The placebo effect is a strange medical phenomenon — a sick person starts to feel better after being given a counterfeit treatment they’ve been told is real.(安慰剂效应是一种奇怪的医学现象——病人接受了一种他们被告知是真实的假治疗后，开始感觉好转。)”可知，病人对安慰剂的信任可能会带来有益的效果，随后文章通过一项研究进一步证实了这一点，所以这篇文章主要讲的是病人对安慰剂的信任可能会带来有益的效果。故选C。

Green tech involves combining technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste, or harmful effects on the environment, we can all help the planet. 36
Install smart light bulbs.
One quick way to reduce energy use is to switch all your light bulbs to energy-efficient versions called smart bulbs and use a virtual assistant to control them. These bulbs tend to use about 7 to 9.5 watts of power yet provide the same amount of light a 60-watt ordinary bulb offers. 37 Just use your phone to shut them down.
38
Smart plugs are a great option, too, for controlling devices like televisions, coffee makers, or almost anything that plugs into a wall socket to work. Devices like these use energy just by being plugged in, so using your phone or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks.
Upcycle or recycle your old tech.
Tech is everywhere in our homes, and when a device gets old, we tend to replace it with a newer, better, faster version. It’s okay to get the latest device, but why not reuse and repurpose the older ones For example, you can upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android phone 39
It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home. 40 Once you start, you’ll quickly see how convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it.
A. Add smart plugs everywhere.
B. Forgot to turn off the lights
C. Anyone can achieve it easily.
D. Upcycle it into a remote control for your TV.
E. Upcycle it instead of throwing it into the dust bin.
F. The real difficulty is in deciding to take that first small step today.
G. Below are several quick and easy ideas you can start using today.
【答案】36. G 37. B 38. A 39. D 40. F
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了如何将绿色科技添加到您的家中。
36. 根据前文“Green tech involves combining technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste, or harmful effects on the environment, we can all help the planet.(绿色科技是指将技术和科学相结合，创造出对环境友好的产品。这个想法是通过在家里使用产品和服务来减少能源消耗、浪费或对环境的有害影响，我们都可以帮助地球)”可知，本文的主题是介绍绿色科技，以及在家里使用绿色科技来减少能源消耗、浪费或对环境的有害影响，所以G项“Below are several quick and easy ideas you can start using today.(下面是几个快速简单的方法，你可以从今天开始使用)”承接上文，进一步提出本文主题，引出下文。故选G项。
37. 根据前文“These bulbs tend to use about 7 to 9.5 watts of power yet provide the same amount of light a 60-watt ordinary bulb offers.(这些灯泡往往使用7到9.5瓦的功率，却能提供与60瓦普通灯泡相同的亮度)”以及后文“Just use your phone to shut them down.(用手机关掉他们就行了)”可知，前文内容和后文无法连接，所以空处应是一个过渡句，引出下文，B项“Forgot to turn off the lights (忘记关灯了 )”可知，下文是对此句的回答，且是介绍智能灯泡的方便，符合本段主题。故选B项。
38. 分析设空，是本段小标题，应是对本段的高度概括，根据下文“Smart plugs are a great option, too, for controlling devices like televisions, coffee makers, or almost anything that plugs into a wall socket to work. Devices like these use energy just by being plugged in, so using your phone or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks.(智能插头也是一个很好的选择，可以用来控制电视、咖啡机或几乎任何可以插在墙上插座上工作的设备。像这样的设备只要插上电源就会消耗能量，所以使用你的手机或虚拟助手根据需要打开或关闭插头有助于阻止能量的消耗)”可知，本段主要讲述在家里使用智能插头，所以A项“Add smart plugs everywhere. (到处添加智能插头)”符合本段主题，为本段小标题。故选A项。
39. 根据前文“For example, you can upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android phone (例如，你可以升级你的旧电脑和笔记本电脑，把它们改造成家庭安全监视器。你有一部旧的安卓手机吗？)”可知，此处是针对本段主题在具体举例，所以空处应是说明把旧的安卓手机升级为“什么”，D项“Upcycle it into a remote control for your TV.(将其升级为电视遥控器)”符合实际。故选D项。
40. 根据前文“It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home.(开始在家里添加绿色科技并不难)”以及后文“Once you start, you’ll quickly see how convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it.(一旦你开始使用，你很快就会发现绿色科技是多么方便，开始使用它是多么容易)”可知，F项“The real difficulty is in deciding to take that first small step today.(真正的困难在于今天决定迈出第一步)”承接上文，引出下文，符合文意。故选F项。

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
At first, Surrell didn’t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors’ home. He and his wife were just having a dinner in their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they heard someone screaming: “The house is on fire!” He went to investigate. That’s when he saw two women and a girl crazily at a loss on their porch (走廊). It was his neighbour’s house.
“The baby’s inside there!” one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively (本能地) ran inside. “The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, who always called him Uncle Surrell. She was the woman’s granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell’s three youngest kids, 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tiara’s aunt and cousin.
Entering the burning house was like running into “a bucket of black paint”. The thick smoke caused Surrell to walk blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible for him to breathe. He felt his throat and lungs burned, and every blink stung (蛰) his eyes. The conditions would have been very dangerous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺病) and was in hospital just half a year ago, they were life-risking.
After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house searching but in vain, he ran outside to catch his breath. “Where is Tiara ” he asked desperately.
“The second floor,” her aunt shouted back.
Surrell knew he couldn’t hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer: “Well, God, this is it. You got to help me, because I’m not coming out without that little girl.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。

Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time. The darkness was overwhelming. He ran blindly in the blackness, and finally made it to the second floor, where he was met by intense (巨大的) heat. He was already out of breath. “Baby girl, where are you ” he cried desperately. All he could hear was the popping of burning wood. Then a soft but distinct moan emerged. He quickly crawled toward the sound. Finally, he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him and hugged her tight and said, “Uncle’s got you.” Soon after, thick fumes choked him. The last thing he could remember was that they were out.
Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later. Having suffered severe burns to his windpipe (气管) and the upper portion of his lungs, he spent another two weeks in the hospital. Tiara recovered soon and was released from the hospital after two days. She went to visit Surrell every day, talking with Surrell, though Surrell, who had to take extra medication that helped open his airways, couldn’t speak any word. “Thank you for saving my life, Uncle Surrell.” Tiara smiled. “ It’s a small price to pay,” Surrell thought, “I’d do it again in a heartbeat (without thinking about it瞬间).”
【导语】本文以事情发展顺序为线索展开，讲述了64岁的Surrell不顾自己身患慢性阻塞性肺病，两次勇敢地冲入火海营救邻居家的小孩子Tiara Roberts的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他深吸一口气，又一次进去。”可知，第一段可描写索雷尔再次冲入火海救人的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“几天后，索雷尔在医院醒来。”可知，第二段可描写索雷尔醒来后得到Tiara的感谢。
2.续写线索：再入火海——听到呻吟——找到小孩——医院醒来——收到感谢
3.词汇激活

Lonely Planet’s Top Places to Go in 2025
Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2025.
Top City: Nairobi
Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over-400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon.
Top Country: Mongolia
Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as: the “Years to Visit Mongolia”, easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport.
Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain
The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona.

My mother-in-law asked me to climb a mountain in her rural village. We went through tall and weedy expanse of grass, pulling ourselves up with the help of smooth bamboo trees. Weathered gray rocks dotted tracks only visible to an experienced hiker. The view we were rewarded with halfway up the mountain, fixing our eyes upon the colorful pieces of fields and whitewashed homes set against the deep green hills and a sky so blue that it looked digitally polished, was a side benefit of being there.
Our eyes were mostly on the wild eatable plants that grew on the mountainside. We first came upon the wild mountain bamboo, a plant that was the main part in my mother-in-law’s salted bamboo shoots that, once preserved, could be used all year long in cooking. Along the way, we also encountered another precious wild food — fiddlehead ferns (蕨菜). Those delicate leaves, when stir-fired, were a tasty treat. Once I had purchased fiddleheads at a market in the US. Yet there we were, picking this prized vegetable on our own, with only our labor as the cost.
What we had collected that afternoon looked the same as any other wild mountain bamboo shoots and fiddlehead ferns I had seen before in my mother-in-law’s kitchen. And yet, they felt different to me because I had used my own hands to help pick them and carry them back down the mountain. Spending time and energy gathering these wild plants gave me a deeper appreciation for the food that ends up on the dinner table.
“Many generations have kept this natural lifestyle. We depend on the mountains for our life,” my mother-in-law says. Those mountains and rivers supporting her life aren’t some abstract concept. They are right there, outside her door and within her rural village. Once I saw them through her angle that afternoon, I realized they are closer to me than I ever imagined.

Most people see innovation as a flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use.
To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory, which attributed disease to “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work.
Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945.
Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations, who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the “eureka moment” breaks down.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. An account of a lab story. B. Redefinition of a traditional view.
C. Correction of a popular misconception. D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon.
29. What is the message conveyed about Fleming’s story
A. Great minds think alike. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Luck’s got your back when it comes to success. D. Early work is a steppingstone to later breakthroughs.
30. What does the underlined part “ushering in” mean in paragraph 3
A. Delaying. B. Introducing. C. Predicting. D. Transforming.
31. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes.
B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin.
C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin.
D. The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens.
D
A new study has turned long-standing beliefs about a curious area of medicine. The placebo (安慰剂) effect is a strange medical phenomenon — a sick person starts to feel better after being given a counterfeit treatment they’ve been told is real. The placebo is a pill or spray (喷雾) containing something harmless and ineffective, such as sugar or salt. Even though it is not genuine, the act of taking a medicine and thinking it will work causes the patient’s brain to send signals to the body that relieve some of the symptoms. It has always been believed that the effect only works because of the lie involved. However, a new study has found that placebos can still be effective, even when the patients know what they’ve been given.
The study was led by Darwin A. Guevarra from the University of Michigan in the US. His team took two groups of people and gave them a nose spray. They were then shown different terrible images. While the groups looked at the pictures, the team monitored their brain activity for signals of emotional distress. The first group was told the spray was just to help the scientists with their readings. The second group was told that the spray was a placebo that could reduce feelings of sadness if they believed it would.
Based on the brain signals, the team found the second group showed fewer signs of sadness than the first group. Co-author Jason Moser says the study shows that people don’t need to be lied to for a placebo to work. “Honest” placebos could be a way for doctors to treat patients suffering from certain conditions, such as high stress levels. “You could give them a placebo, tell them it can help them and it is possible — if they believe it can, then it will.”
32. The underlined word “counterfeit” (in para.1) is closest in meaning to __________.
A. natural B. harmful C. effective D. fake
33. Why did Darwin A. Guevarra and his team conduct the study about “placebo”
A. To see if nose spray can help reduce feelings of sadness.
B. To test the effectiveness of a new type of medicine.
C. To prove that the placebo effect is a lie.
D. To explore if a placebo works for patients aware of its lie.
34. It can be inferred from Guevarra’s study that __________.
A. “honest” placebos could help doctors to treat anxiety.
B. Placebos work only when patents are cheated into believing they are real.
C. Doctors should never use placebos because they can cause harm to patients.
D. Placebos are not effective in treating any medical conditions.
35. What is the passage mainly about
A. A placebo can be used as an effective way to cure diseases like cancer.
B. A sick person must be lied to for a placebo to work.
C. Patients’ trust in a placebo can potentially lead to beneficial effects.
D. “Honest” placebos could be effective for all patients.

How to add green tech to your home
Green tech involves combining technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste, or harmful effects on the environment, we can all help the planet. 36
Install smart light bulbs.
One quick way to reduce energy use is to switch all your light bulbs to energy-efficient versions called smart bulbs and use a virtual assistant to control them. These bulbs tend to use about 7 to 9.5 watts of power yet provide the same amount of light a 60-watt ordinary bulb offers. 37 Just use your phone to shut them down.
38
Smart plugs are a great option, too, for controlling devices like televisions, coffee makers, or almost anything that plugs into a wall socket to work. Devices like these use energy just by being plugged in, so using your phone or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks.
Upcycle or recycle your old tech.
Tech is everywhere in our homes, and when a device gets old, we tend to replace it with a newer, better, faster version. It’s okay to get the latest device, but why not reuse and repurpose the older ones For example, you can upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android phone 39
It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home. 40 Once you start, you’ll quickly see how convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
At first, Surrell didn’t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors’ home. He and his wife were just having a dinner in their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they heard someone screaming: “The house is on fire!” He went to investigate. That’s when he saw two women and a girl crazily at a loss on their porch (走廊). It was his neighbour’s house.
“The baby’s inside there!” one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively (本能地) ran inside. “The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, who always called him Uncle Surrell. She was the woman’s granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell’s three youngest kids, 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tiara’s aunt and cousin.
Entering the burning house was like running into “a bucket of black paint”. The thick smoke caused Surrell to walk blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible for him to breathe. He felt his throat and lungs burned, and every blink stung (蛰) his eyes. The conditions would have been very dangerous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺病) and was in hospital just half a year ago, they were life-risking.
After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house searching but in vain, he ran outside to catch his breath. “Where is Tiara ” he asked desperately.
“The second floor,” her aunt shouted back.
Surrell knew he couldn’t hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer: “Well, God, this is it. You got to help me, because I’m not coming out without that little girl.”
