A first-time guide to Barbados
If you’re visiting Barbados for the first time, expect to slow down. It’s a place where you might spend so much time lounging on the beach that you could miss your dinner reservations.
Barbados has a place for every kind of traveler. You can come to the island and learn to surf, spend your days at golf courses, or enjoy the world’s best rum (朗姆酒). While there’s plenty to do here, there’s no need to rush through everything.
When should you go to Barbados
There isn’t best time to visit Barbados, as it’s sunny year-round, with an average daytime high of 30℃. June to December is the rainy season, with an increased risk of hurricanes. Travel between April and November can be more affordable, while December through March sees higher prices as the country welcomes most visitors.
How much time should you spend in Barbados
Five days is the ideal length for a visit. This allows you to adjust to the slower pace of life and enjoy local events and activities without rushing.
Is it easy to get in and around Barbados
Nonstop flights serve Barbados from many major cities. The airport is about 20 minutes from the capital city of Bridgetown. Public transportation includes buses and privately operated minibuses known as ZRs.
Top things to do in Barbados
For a lively experience, don’t miss Oistins Fish Fry, a vibrant open-air market that comes alive on Friday nights with music and entertainment. Since Barbados is the birthplace of rum, taking a rum tour is essential to learn about the spirit’s history while sampling some of the finest rums in the world.

Christian Vieri, who was once the world’s most expensive footballer when he moved to Inter Milan in 1999 for 30m, has a deep love for cricket (板球). Having spent his childhood in Australia, he grew up watching cricket at the Sydney Cricket Ground and admired West Indies players like Viv Richards and Joel Garner. His favorite Australian player was Allan Border, who even gave him a cricket bat. He especially admires the confidence of West Indies players, believing that confidence is essential in life.
As a legend of Italian football and the Italian national team, Vieri holds the record for most World Cup goals scored by an Italian player with nine. His journey in football began in Australia with Marconi Stallions before he moved to Italy at age 14. His grandfather, who believed in his talent, rewarded him with money for each goal he scored in his early games.
Vieri’s football career took off when he joined Juventus, where he played alongside Zinedine Zidane. He then moved to Atlético Madrid, where he became the top scorer in the league. His biggest move came when he joined Inter Milan, where he became a club legend by scoring 123 goals in 190 games. Despite playing with stars like Ronaldo and Roberto Baggio, he only won one major trophy during his time there.
Throughout his career, Vieri was known for his powerful playing style and confidence both on and off the field. He played for many clubs including Milan, Monaco, and Fiorentina, but it was at Inter Milan that he stayed the longest and made his biggest impact. His combination of speed, power, and skill made him stand out among Italian forwards of his era.
Today, Vieri runs various businesses including a YouTube channel, a beer company, and a restaurant chain. He’s happily married and has two daughters, saying he’s never been happier. Despite his successful football career, he still maintains his love for cricket, showing how his Australian childhood influenced his life.
4. What do we know about Vieri’s early football experience

Antarctica, known for its massive ice sheets, is also home to many volcanoes. Although most of these volcanoes are dormant, scientists think they could become active again as the surrounding ice melts. This happened before, after the last ice age, between 12,000 and 7,000 years ago, when volcanic activity increased by two to six times as glaciers melted.
Today, human-caused climate change is creating a new period of warming. While scientists once thought Antarctica would be less affected by global warming, the region is now showing clear signs of change, including unusual heat waves and significant ice loss. As the ice melts, it reduces pressure on the volcanoes below, which could lead to eruptions, much like the act of opening a bottle of fizzy drink (碳酸饮料).
Antarctica has over 130 known volcanoes, many hidden under the ice, but some are still active. Mount Erebus is the tallest active volcano there and has been erupting for decades. If more volcanoes become active due to ice loss, it could create a cycle where volcanic activity speeds up ice melting. This happens because volcanic ash makes the surface darker, causing it to absorb more heat.
Scientists worry that if under-ice volcanoes erupt, they could help break up the ice sheet in West Antarctica, making large pieces of ice fall into the ocean and raise sea levels. The volcanic activity would also release more greenhouse gases, making Earth warmer and leading to more ice loss, which could trigger more volcanic eruptions.
However, scientists are careful about making predictions. As Virginie Pinel, a volcano expert, explains, “Volcanic systems develop over hundreds of thousands of years, while climate change happens over decades. We don’t have enough experience to fully understand the changes happening in volcanic activity.” Still, studying these changes helps scientists better understand what makes volcanic eruptions happen, such as a real-world experiment. The research continues as scientists work to predict how these complex systems might interact in the future.
8. Why does the author mention the last ice age
A. To show past ice melt caused eruptions. B. To prove current warming is unusual.
C. To compare volcanic activity across periods. D. To explain the cycle of climate change.
9. How does volcanic ash affect ice melting
A. It reflects sunlight. B. It causes heat absorption.
C. It increases ice thickness. D. It releases greenhouse gases.
10. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Reduce. B. Prevent. C. Cause. D. Delay.
11. What do scientists emphasize about volcanic systems and climate change
A. They operate on different timelines. B. Their interaction is predictable.
C. Volcanic activity speed up climate change. D. Climate change has little impact on volcanoes.
D
When you consider a salmon or a pigeon, your first thought is probably not about quantum mechanics (量子力学) and yet, that’s precisely what the evidence suggests: these animals exploit some of the most advanced science currently understood by humans in their everyday lives. According to a new paper, they’re doing so in ways that push at the very limits of quantum physics.
The performance of a magnetic (有磁性的) sensor depends on three things: its volume, sensitivity, and measurement time. The smaller the sensor, the more sensitive the magnet. However, when devices get too small, they enter the quantum world. This brings both advantages and challenges in magnetometry (磁测量): the tiny scale reduces noise and increases sensitivity, but it also makes the system delicate, as quantum states can be easily disturbed.
Even in the quantum world, there’s a limit on how small you can go. Both theoretically and experimentally, the limit for magnetic sensitivity is set at Planck’s constant — an incredibly small value. Biologists have long known that many animals can sense magnetic fields — it’s how birds navigate, how foxes hunt, and how dogs find their way around.
“During the last six decades scientists have considered several biophysical mechanisms explaining biological magnetoreception (磁感受作用),” explains a statement from the University of Crete, but they are not yet fully understood. Researchers Kominis and Gkoudinakis decided to work backwards, using known physical laws to understand these mechanisms. Their results showed that some proposed mechanisms for biological magnetoreception would be operating right at the quantum limit — like a TV operating with the highest possible resolution.
The findings suggest we shouldn’t feel discouraged about coming second to animals in this ability. Now that we better understand how they do it, we might be able to improve our own lab-based magnetic sensors. As Kominis told Physics magazine, “If scientists want to make the most sensitive measurements, we have to go quantum. Modeling biological magnetic sensors can guide such quantum engineering.”
12. What does the evidence suggest about animals
A. They know quantum mechanics. B. They use quantum mechanics in life.
C. They can explain quantum physics. D. They are not related to quantum mechanics.
13. What is the main challenge faced by quantum magnetometry
A. Lack of research data. B. High cost of production.
C. Easily disturbed quantum states. D. Low sensitivity in measurement.
14. What approach did Kominis and Gkoudinakis take to study biological magnetoreception
A. Observing bird navigation. B. Creating quantum experiments.
C. Analyzing animal movement data. D. Using known physical laws backward.
15. What could be the future focus of quantum engineering
A. Exploring new animals’ behaviors. B. Developing biological theories.
C. Reducing the size of sensors. D. Copying biological magnetic sensors.

What’s the key to leading a harmonious life According to Taoism, it’s not about trying too hard. However, this doesn’t mean being lazy. Instead, it begins with letting go and aligning (使一致) yourself with life’s natural rhythm.
Flow in harmony with nature. ____16____ For instance, forcing yourself to sleep can make you restless, while overthinking can hold back progress. The harder you try to control something, the greater the resistance you’ll encounter.
Don’t try in everyday life. Understanding a philosophy is one thing. Living it is another. Wuwei, the art of effortlessness, encourages you to release control and align with life’s natural flow. ____17____ Here are simple ways to quiet the mind, welcome creativity, and develop patience.
____18____. Wuwei begins with letting go. Overthinking ruins progress and peace, so stop trying to control every thought. Instead, try practices such as tai chi and breathing exercises. These can calm busy minds and help you observe thoughts without judgment.
Be creative. Creativity provides a way to enter the flow state. Whether you’re painting, writing, or playing music, let curiosity and playfulness guide you. The best musicians don’t force their art—they embody it. ____19____. Dive into the joy of creating, and you’ll find a place of expansion and imagination that fits with Wuwei.
Adopt patience. The universe doesn’t rush, and neither should you. The sun rises and sets, and seasons unfold naturally. Patience is about trusting this rhythm. Accept change gracefully and have faith that things will turn out as they should. Living Wuwei isn’t about not trying—it’s about doing less of what disturbs your flow. ____20____!
A. Relax your mind
B. Increase your productivity
C. Let go, trust the process, and enjoy the ride
D. Enjoy the process instead of focusing on results
E. But how do you bring this into your daily routine
F. Try your best to struggle for perfect results in your creation
G. Have you ever noticed that excessive effort often leads to the opposite result

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。
Luna has always been known for her kindness and generosity at our high school. While some students focus on their studies or social media, Luna consistently finds ways to help others. She’s the first to welcome new students, always ready with a warm smile and helpful directions. Her story truly touched my heart last winter, when our school organized a charity book fair.
The event aimed to collect used books for children in rural areas. Most students brought one or two books, but Luna arrived with three large boxes. She had spent weekends sorting through her personal library, selecting books that would be suitable for younger readers. What made her donation even more special was that she included handwritten notes in each book, encouraging the future readers to explore the joy of reading. However, what impressed me most wasn’t the quantity of books she donated, but what happened next.
As we were organizing the books, Sarah, a quiet freshman who rarely spoke to anyone, approached our table. She picked up a copy of The Little Prince and her eyes lit up. “I’ve always wanted to read this,” she whispered, more to herself than to us. Luna overheard her and noticed Sarah’s worn backpack and hesitant behavior. The way Sarah carefully handled the book, gently turning each page as if it might crumble (碎裂), spoke volumes about her love for reading and her inability to afford books of her own.
Throughout the semester, Luna had saved money from her part-time job at the local library to buy new books for herself. She worked extra shifts during weekends and holidays, carefully setting aside a portion of her earnings for her beloved book collection. Without hesitation, she reached into her bag and pulled out a brand-new copy of The Little Prince that she had purchased just days before. “Here,” she said to Sarah, “This one’s for you. Everyone should own their favorite book.” The joy in Sarah’s eyes was indescribable, and from that day forward, the two developed a beautiful friendship bonded by their shared love of literature.

（1）续写词数应为150左右；

【47题答案】
【答案】
However, the following week brought unexpected challenges. Several students began spreading rumors that Luna was only being kind to gain attention. Some even suggested that her parents were forcing her to donate books to improve their family’s image in the community. Luna’s genuine acts of kindness were being twisted into calculated moves for personal gain. The whispers in the hallways grew louder, and some students who had once praised her generosity now viewed her with skepticism.
Watching Luna, I realized rumors (谣言) hadn’t changed her. In fact, they seemed to make her even more determined to be kind. She continued volunteering at the local library, tutoring younger students, and sharing her lunch with anyone who forgot theirs. The same warmth that had touched Sarah’s life continued to spread throughout our school community. Luna’s firm commitment to kindness, despite the criticism she faced, taught us all a valuable lesson. She showed us that true generosity doesn’t need praise or attention; it simply flows from the heart.

A first-time guide to Barbados
If you’re visiting Barbados for the first time, expect to slow down. It’s a place where you might spend so much time lounging on the beach that you could miss your dinner reservations.
Barbados has a place for every kind of traveler. You can come to the island and learn to surf, spend your days at golf courses, or enjoy the world’s best rum (朗姆酒). While there’s plenty to do here, there’s no need to rush through everything.
When should you go to Barbados
There isn’t best time to visit Barbados, as it’s sunny year-round, with an average daytime high of 30℃. June to December is the rainy season, with an increased risk of hurricanes. Travel between April and November can be more affordable, while December through March sees higher prices as the country welcomes most visitors.
How much time should you spend in Barbados
Five days is the ideal length for a visit. This allows you to adjust to the slower pace of life and enjoy local events and activities without rushing.
Is it easy to get in and around Barbados
Nonstop flights serve Barbados from many major cities. The airport is about 20 minutes from the capital city of Bridgetown. Public transportation includes buses and privately operated minibuses known as ZRs.
Top things to do in Barbados
For a lively experience, don’t miss Oistins Fish Fry, a vibrant open-air market that comes alive on Friday nights with music and entertainment.

Christian Vieri, who was once the world’s most expensive footballer when he moved to Inter Milan in 1999 for 30m, has a deep love for cricket (板球). Having spent his childhood in Australia, he grew up watching cricket at the Sydney Cricket Ground and admired West Indies players like Viv Richards and Joel Garner. His favorite Australian player was Allan Border, who even gave him a cricket bat. He especially admires the confidence of West Indies players, believing that confidence is essential in life.
As a legend of Italian football and the Italian national team, Vieri holds the record for most World Cup goals scored by an Italian player with nine. His journey in football began in Australia with Marconi Stallions before he moved to Italy at age 14. His grandfather, who believed in his talent, rewarded him with money for each goal he scored in his early games.
Vieri’s football career took off when he joined Juventus, where he played alongside Zinedine Zidane. He then moved to Atlético Madrid, where he became the top scorer in the league. His biggest move came when he joined Inter Milan, where he became a club legend by scoring 123 goals in 190 games. Despite playing with stars like Ronaldo and Roberto Baggio, he only won one major trophy during his time there.
Throughout his career, Vieri was known for his powerful playing style and confidence both on and off the field. He played for many clubs including Milan, Monaco, and Fiorentina, but it was at Inter Milan that he stayed the longest and made his biggest impact. His combination of speed, power, and skill made him stand out among Italian forwards of his era.
Today, Vieri runs various businesses including a YouTube channel, a beer company, and a restaurant chain. He’s happily married and has two daughters, saying he’s never been happier.

Antarctica, known for its massive ice sheets, is also home to many volcanoes. Although most of these volcanoes are dormant, scientists think they could become active again as the surrounding ice melts. This happened before, after the last ice age, between 12,000 and 7,000 years ago, when volcanic activity increased by two to six times as glaciers melted.
Today, human-caused climate change is creating a new period of warming. While scientists once thought Antarctica would be less affected by global warming, the region is now showing clear signs of change, including unusual heat waves and significant ice loss. As the ice melts, it reduces pressure on the volcanoes below, which could lead to eruptions, much like the act of opening a bottle of fizzy drink (碳酸饮料).
Antarctica has over 130 known volcanoes, many hidden under the ice, but some are still active. Mount Erebus is the tallest active volcano there and has been erupting for decades. If more volcanoes become active due to ice loss, it could create a cycle where volcanic activity speeds up ice melting. This happens because volcanic ash makes the surface darker, causing it to absorb more heat.
Scientists worry that if under-ice volcanoes erupt, they could help break up the ice sheet in West Antarctica, making large pieces of ice fall into the ocean and raise sea levels. The volcanic activity would also release more greenhouse gases, making Earth warmer and leading to more ice loss, which could trigger more volcanic eruptions.
However, scientists are careful about making predictions. As Virginie Pinel, a volcano expert, explains, “Volcanic systems develop over hundreds of thousands of years, while climate change happens over decades. We don’t have enough experience to fully understand the changes happening in volcanic activity.” Still, studying these changes helps scientists better understand what makes volcanic eruptions happen, such as a real-world experiment. The research continues as scientists work to predict how these complex systems might interact in the future.
8. Why does the author mention the last ice age
A. To show past ice melt caused eruptions. B. To prove current warming is unusual.
C. To compare volcanic activity across periods. D. To explain the cycle of climate change.
9. How does volcanic ash affect ice melting
A. It reflects sunlight. B. It causes heat absorption.
C. It increases ice thickness. D. It releases greenhouse gases.
10. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Reduce. B. Prevent. C. Cause. D. Delay.
11. What do scientists emphasize about volcanic systems and climate change
A. They operate on different timelines. B. Their interaction is predictable.
C. Volcanic activity speed up climate change. D. Climate change has little impact on volcanoes.
D
When you consider a salmon or a pigeon, your first thought is probably not about quantum mechanics (量子力学) and yet, that’s precisely what the evidence suggests: these animals exploit some of the most advanced science currently understood by humans in their everyday lives. According to a new paper, they’re doing so in ways that push at the very limits of quantum physics.
The performance of a magnetic (有磁性的) sensor depends on three things: its volume, sensitivity, and measurement time. The smaller the sensor, the more sensitive the magnet. However, when devices get too small, they enter the quantum world. This brings both advantages and challenges in magnetometry (磁测量): the tiny scale reduces noise and increases sensitivity, but it also makes the system delicate, as quantum states can be easily disturbed.
Even in the quantum world, there’s a limit on how small you can go. Both theoretically and experimentally, the limit for magnetic sensitivity is set at Planck’s constant — an incredibly small value. Biologists have long known that many animals can sense magnetic fields — it’s how birds navigate, how foxes hunt, and how dogs find their way around.
“During the last six decades scientists have considered several biophysical mechanisms explaining biological magnetoreception (磁感受作用),” explains a statement from the University of Crete, but they are not yet fully understood. Researchers Kominis and Gkoudinakis decided to work backwards, using known physical laws to understand these mechanisms. Their results showed that some proposed mechanisms for biological magnetoreception would be operating right at the quantum limit — like a TV operating with the highest possible resolution.
The findings suggest we shouldn’t feel discouraged about coming second to animals in this ability. Now that we better understand how they do it, we might be able to improve our own lab-based magnetic sensors. As Kominis told Physics magazine, “If scientists want to make the most sensitive measurements, we have to go quantum. Modeling biological magnetic sensors can guide such quantum engineering.”
12. What does the evidence suggest about animals
A. They know quantum mechanics. B. They use quantum mechanics in life.
C. They can explain quantum physics. D. They are not related to quantum mechanics.
13. What is the main challenge faced by quantum magnetometry
A. Lack of research data. B. High cost of production.
C. Easily disturbed quantum states. D. Low sensitivity in measurement.
14. What approach did Kominis and Gkoudinakis take to study biological magnetoreception
A. Observing bird navigation. B. Creating quantum experiments.
C. Analyzing animal movement data. D. Using known physical laws backward.
15. What could be the future focus of quantum engineering
A. Exploring new animals’ behaviors. B. Developing biological theories.
C. Reducing the size of sensors. D. Copying biological magnetic sensors.

Flow in harmony with nature. ____16____ For instance, forcing yourself to sleep can make you restless, while overthinking can hold back progress. The harder you try to control something, the greater the resistance you’ll encounter.
Don’t try in everyday life. Understanding a philosophy is one thing. Living it is another. Wuwei, the art of effortlessness, encourages you to release control and align with life’s natural flow. ____17____ Here are simple ways to quiet the mind, welcome creativity, and develop patience.
____18____. Wuwei begins with letting go. Overthinking ruins progress and peace, so stop trying to control every thought. Instead, try practices such as tai chi and breathing exercises. These can calm busy minds and help you observe thoughts without judgment.
Be creative. Creativity provides a way to enter the flow state. Whether you’re painting, writing, or playing music, let curiosity and playfulness guide you. The best musicians don’t force their art—they embody it. ____19____. Dive into the joy of creating, and you’ll find a place of expansion and imagination that fits with Wuwei.
Adopt patience. The universe doesn’t rush, and neither should you. The sun rises and sets, and seasons unfold naturally. Patience is about trusting this rhythm. Accept change gracefully and have faith that things will turn out as they should. Living Wuwei isn’t about not trying—it’s about doing less of what disturbs your flow. ____20____!
A. Relax your mind
B. Increase your productivity
C. Let go, trust the process, and enjoy the ride
D. Enjoy the process instead of focusing on results
E. But how do you bring this into your daily routine

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。
Luna has always been known for her kindness and generosity at our high school. While some students focus on their studies or social media, Luna consistently finds ways to help others. She’s the first to welcome new students, always ready with a warm smile and helpful directions. Her story truly touched my heart last winter, when our school organized a charity book fair.
The event aimed to collect used books for children in rural areas. Most students brought one or two books, but Luna arrived with three large boxes. She had spent weekends sorting through her personal library, selecting books that would be suitable for younger readers. What made her donation even more special was that she included handwritten notes in each book, encouraging the future readers to explore the joy of reading. However, what impressed me most wasn’t the quantity of books she donated, but what happened next.
As we were organizing the books, Sarah, a quiet freshman who rarely spoke to anyone, approached our table. She picked up a copy of The Little Prince and her eyes lit up. “I’ve always wanted to read this,” she whispered, more to herself than to us. Luna overheard her and noticed Sarah’s worn backpack and hesitant behavior. The way Sarah carefully handled the book, gently turning each page as if it might crumble (碎裂), spoke volumes about her love for reading and her inability to afford books of her own.
Throughout the semester, Luna had saved money from her part-time job at the local library to buy new books for herself. She worked extra shifts during weekends and holidays, carefully setting aside a portion of her earnings for her beloved book collection. Without hesitation, she reached into her bag and pulled out a brand-new copy of The Little Prince that she had purchased just days before. “Here,” she said to Sarah, “This one’s for you. Everyone should own their favorite book.” The joy in Sarah’s eyes was indescribable, and from that day forward, the two developed a beautiful friendship bonded by their shared love of literature.

【答案】
However, the following week brought unexpected challenges. Several students began spreading rumors that Luna was only being kind to gain attention. Some even suggested that her parents were forcing her to donate books to improve their family’s image in the community. Luna’s genuine acts of kindness were being twisted into calculated moves for personal gain. The whispers in the hallways grew louder, and some students who had once praised her generosity now viewed her with skepticism.
Watching Luna, I realized rumors (谣言) hadn’t changed her. In fact, they seemed to make her even more determined to be kind. She continued volunteering at the local library, tutoring younger students, and sharing her lunch with anyone who forgot theirs. The same warmth that had touched Sarah’s life continued to spread throughout our school community. Luna’s firm commitment to kindness, despite the criticism she faced, taught us all a valuable lesson. She showed us that true generosity doesn’t need praise or attention; it simply flows from the heart.
