You may use these guides to book train tickets.
Book tickets ahead of time
Advance tickets are available up to 12 weeks in advance of the departure date and may be less expensive than purchasing on the day. Register today for Advance Ticket Alert to be notified when your tickets become available if you plan on arriving early.
A National Railcard
It covers one-third of all legal rail tickets in the UK if you travel a few times each year.
A Season Ticket
It’s for people travelling the same route many times. You can buy it for a week, a month, or even a year. Once you have it, you can take the train as many times as you want on that route during the period you have paid for.

A chef named Korean Draper finds her culinary (烹饪) comfort zone. Draper, who grew up surrounded by cooking, didn’t consider a career in the food industry until she left her previous job to care for her mother and a newborn baby. During this period, she spent much time on cookbooks, Food Network shows, and food experiments, forming a deep connection with food that later shaped her professional path. When ready to re-enter the workforce, she set non-negotiable criteria for her new job: It’d have to involve food and people.
Draper initially secured an office role at a corporate catering (餐饮) company near her home outside Philadelphia. However, when she stepped in to assist the kitchen during a period of operational pressure tied to workforce limitations, her boss recognized her potential and offered a permanent shift to culinary work. Starting with simple tasks like salad preparation, she quickly advanced to more complex dishes, fueled by a passion she describes as “a burning fire” once lit. Balancing work and learning, she signed up for culinary classes — an opportunity she’d previously thought unattainable — and rose to the position of general manager.
Fifteen years into her role, Draper wondered if she should try a new career. Yet, no alternative satisfied her as deeply as cooking. A chance introduction to a family seeking a private chef opened a new chapter. Unaware of this special area in the food industry, she began planning meals, grocery shopping, and cooking in clients’ homes, uncovering a need for tailored culinary solutions among busy or uninterested cooks. Using her website Korea’s Kitchen, she expanded her client base, eventually moving from private homes to a church basement kitchen and specializing in family meals and catering.
Driven to grow her business, Draper sought her own kitchen space, a goal achieved through networking. In her new venue, she hosts tastings, cooking classes, and catered events. Today, as a leader of an eight-person team, she remains rooted in her core mission: connecting people through food.
4. What do we know about Draper from paragraph 2
A. She considered food career early. B. She ignored her family needs.
C. She had clear new job requirements. D. She lacked cooking experience.
5. Why did Draper go to help the kitchen while working in an office
A. She wanted extra income. B. A staff shortage occurred.
C Her boss demanded it. D. She sought promotion.
6. What made Draper feel the demand for personalized culinary services
A. Clients’ strict diets. B. A family’s request.
C. Food industry trends. D. Her website feedback.
7. What can we learn from Draper’s career story
A. Education guarantees success. B. Family limits one’s career.
C. One’s skills beat one’s planning. D. Passion drives new growth.
C
A new study reveals that Americans make quick decisions about who to trust based on social class, but not in the way you might expect.
Kristin Laurin, lead researcher from the University of British Columbia, and her team conducted 17 separate experiments involving nearly 2,000 participants. The findings show that participants invariably placed more trust in others who grew up poor than those raised wealthy. But when it came to someone’s current financial situation, participants always trusted them less if they were struggling.
The most common approach of the study involved economic games where participants could send money to partners, knowing those partners could either share the profits or keep everything for themselves. In some experiments, participants used raffle tickets (抽奖券) instead of cash. In other experiments, researchers presented participants with detailed profiles of potential partners that included casual mentions of family backgrounds. Participants typically sent more resources to people described as having grown up poor, even when those individuals were now wealthy.
Why do we trust those raised in poverty more than the wealthy Research highlights moral stereotypes (刻板印象) linked to social class. People tend to believe that lower-class backgrounds are often associated with warmth and morality, while wealth is tied to coldness and selfishness. These character assumptions shape trust decisions. Even when someone had achieved economic advancement as an adult, participants still viewed them through the lens (透镜) of their upbringing. A successful lawyer who grew up working-class was seen as more trustworthy than one born into wealth, regardless of their current identical circumstances.
The picture became more complex when researchers looked at people’s present-day financial situations. Participants were more willing to help someone who was struggling financially in trust games. However they didn’t think that person would be trustworthy in return. This shows that our help may come from a desire to assist those in need, not because we trust them. It creates a situation where we may help people in poverty while suspecting they might take advantage of us.
8. What does the underlined word “invariably” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Consistently. B. Suddenly. C. Vividly. D. Previous.
9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study
A. Its limitations. B. Its preparation. C. Its process. D. Its participants.
10. Why does the author mention a successful lawyer concerning moral stereotypes
A. To emphasize their impacts. B. To explain their importance.
C. To highlight their roots. D. To compare their differences.
11. What does the study reveal when examining people’s current finances
A. The effect of current wealth. B. A link between wealth and morality.
C. The role of financial struggles. D. A divide between sympathy and trust.
D
Scientists in the Netherlands have created a soft-bodied robot that’s powered by air.
When you think of a robot, you might picture something with a lot of sensors, and inflexible metal arms controlled by a computer. But scientists at the AMOLF institute in the Netherlands have come up with a robot that has no brain and no sensors.
“I was in the lab, working on another project, and had to bend a tube to stop air from going through it. The tube started oscillating (振荡) loudly at very high frequency,” says Alberto Comoretto, a roboticist. Then, he set up a high-speed camera and recorded the movement. He found that when there was a kink (扭结) in the tube, the increasing pressure pushed that kink along the tube’s length. That caused the pressure to decrease, which enabled a new kink to appear and the cycle to oretto’s team was excited as the waving tube shared airflow physics with the famous dancing “Fly guys” at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Comoretto’s team decided to build a robot using the Fly guys’ physics to achieve natural, almost lifelike movement. They finally made it. The robot can cover a distance equal to thirty times its body length in a second. That’d be like the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, running the 100-meter race in 1.71 seconds. It can go over uneven ground. Hitting a wall, it turns on its own. When dropped into water, it begins moving in a new way that allows it to swim.
“Now when it hits a wall, it starts to turn left. If it lands in water, it starts to swim backwards. We didn’t come up with that — it just happens,” says Johannes Overvelde, a AMOLF researcher. “We understand the system but need a better grasp of how to design specific functionalities.” And this grasp will be needed for any applications that require something more than tiny robots that can run, swim, or both. This is what the team invests more to address next.
12. Why did Comoretto record the tube by using the high-speed camera
A. To observe its airflow speed. B. To analyze its movement causes.
C. To examine its material properties. D. To measure its oscillation frequency.
13. What is one feature of Comoretto’s robot
A. It copies human arm motions any time. B. It moves much faster than Usain Bolt.
C. It needs training for an extended period. D. It adjusts automatically to its conditions.
14. What is the team’s remaining challenge according to Overvelde
A. Designing the robots of larger sizes. B. Increasing the robot’s movement speed.
C. Trying to control the robot’s behavior. D. Reducing production costs for the robot.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. A Brainless Soft Robot Running on Air B. The Physics Behind Air-powered Systems
C. From Lab accident to Robot Innovation D. Future Applications of Soft-bodied Robots

Tourists walking along Australia’s Sunshine Coast now find an unusual souvenir (纪念品) shop. Instead of plastic toys, shelves are filled with sandcastle kits made from dried seaweed. These earth-friendly molds (模具) create temporary sculptures. ____16____
The “Ocean Shapes” company makes these special kits. Each $15 set includes three toys that break down naturally and are shaped like sea turtles, starfish, and seashells, plus a small digging tool. Their website says: “____17____ Watch them return to the sea. This is how vacation memories should disappear.” Bright green packaging shows children building a sandcastle that slowly disappears with the waves. “Every kit sold funds beach clean-up programs,” says the company’s boss, a former surfing star.
Sunshine Coast’s white beaches attract millions yearly. ____18____ Last year, volunteers picked up over 12 tons of rubbish left by visitors just during Christmas. Old plastic beach toys make up 40% of this waste, taking 500 years to break down. Broken tools often hurt sea animals that think they’re food.
____19____ For twenty years, scientists have tried using seaweed instead of plastic. They boil seaweed into thick liquid, and then press it into shapes. Old versions had bad smells, but new methods remove them while keeping the material strong.
Mayor Tom Carter likes the idea but says, “We ask visitors to buy local honey or handmade hats. Our surf schools now offer seaweed toys for free to make less waste. If you buy them and they don’t disappear fully, take the pieces away. ____20____” Next summer, his team will add bright yellow seaweed recycling boxes shaped like dolphins on busy beaches.
A. The ocean isn’t a rubbish bin.
B. Play with nature, not against it.
C. Keep the material strong enough for play.
D. Seaweed products are not completely new.
E. You have to return the seaweed toys in advance.
F. They can break down in the ocean within hours, not polluting it.
G. Famous for clear water and surfing, this area has growing plastic problems.

Sunshine Valley High School prepared to celebrate its 100th birthday, and the drama club planned a special play for it.
Mrs. Collins, the librarian, told them there might be old scripts (剧本) in the library’s upper storage area. So on a cool November morning, several club members went to look. Among them were Mia, a junior who loved writing, Ethan, a senior who was good with cameras, and Lila, the club president who hoped to direct plays.
Mia reached for a dusty shelf. Suddenly, a loose page fell. It was a handwritten scene from a play called Starlight Dreams. Under the text was a note: “Act 2, Scene 3—Clara meets her future self under the oak tree (橡树), legs tired but eyes bright, determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see…” It was signed by “Elena Marquez, 1972”. Mia saw a leather-bound notebook next to where the page had been and pulled it out—it was Elena’s diary.
They carefully opened the diary. One entry said, “July 5th, 1973. The doctor says I need to rest—no more late nights writing, no more rehearsals (排练). But I keep re-reading Clara’s lines: ‘You don’t stop just because the wind blows hard.’ Maybe one day, someone will finish what I started.” They realized Elena, a former student, had gotten very sick and left school, never finishing her script.
Mrs. Collins came over, surprised. “Elena was a very talented drama student. She had to leave school because of her illness and never came back. No one knew she left these here,” she said. The students felt sad for Elena. “We can finish her play for the school’s 100th birthday!” they all agreed.
For two weeks they worked after school. Mia finished the script, still keeping Clara as the main character. Lila directed the actors in rehearsals, and Ethan made simple sets based on Elena’s notes. Mrs. Collins found Elena’s address from old yearbooks and invited her to watch the play.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people.

A Memorable Campus Environmental Protection Day
Yesterday, our school held a successful Campus Environmental Protection Day to raise students’ awareness of green living.
The event featured various activities. Some students displayed creations made from recycled materials. Others gave enthusiastic speeches on eco-conservation, while still others gave practical tips on reducing plastic use. A highlight was the Campus-wide Litter Collecting Campaign, in which everyone took an active part. These activities made environmental protection feel real and fun.
The day was warmly welcomed. Students said they now know more ways to protect the environment and will start with small daily actions. It was truly a meaningful day.
第二节（满分25分）
【47题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people. The play started. Clara, the main character, faced many problems, but she didn’t give up. The audience watched carefully, their eyes fixed on the stage. When Clara stood under the oak tree in the end, saying “I’ll keep going, no matter how hard it gets,” everyone clapped hard. Suddenly, a voice shouted, “Good job!” It was Elena, sitting in the back row. Her eyes were shining with tears, and her hands were shaking. The applause got even louder as everyone turned to look at her.
Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly. “Thank you,” she said, voice shaking. “Those lines — ‘determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see’ — are mine. I dreamed of acting in my own play, but the illness made me stop. I thought my story with Clara ended. However, you brought us both back.” She hugged each student, explaining her dreams revived. The students felt warm — they gave a forgotten dream a second chance, realizing small kindnesses bridge years, and that dreams, however long delayed, are always worth remembering.
