Summer is very hot in many parts of China. But Guizhou Province is cool and comfortable, like a natural air conditioner (空调). Here are four great cities in Guizhou to escape the heat.
Guiyang
People know it as “Cool Guiyang”. The average summer temperature is about 23℃ degrees. More than half the city is covered by forests. In Qianling Park, a large green space in the city, you can see monkeys and even visit pandas! Other places such as Kaiyang and Qingzhen also have lovely natural views.
Anshun

Liupanshui
It is called the “Cool City of China”. Summer temperatures stay around 20℃ degrees. The air is fresh and clean because it is high in the mountains. People can visit large grasslands and forests. It is easy to reach by train, and many people go back year after year.

Martin Woesler, a German sinologist, who has devoted years to Chinese literature, recently visited Dunhuang, a historic Silk Road city in Gansu Province, China. His trip, which included attending the meeting — the Fourth Dialogue on Exchanges Among Civilizations, became an unforgettable cultural discovery.
Before his visit, Woesler had learned about Dunhuang. Yet seeing it firsthand amazed him. Standing in front of the Mogao Grottoes, he was attracted by the mixed cultures in Cave 285. There, Greek gods Apollo and Diana, Chinese stories about Fuxi and Nyuwa, Indian Buddhist flying figures, and Daoist immortal beings all appear together in frescoes (壁画). “Different traditions come together here to make a 1,000-year-old wonder,” he said.
Woesler’s journey with Chinese culture began 38 years ago in Germany. He devoted himself to narrowing the cultural gap between China and Germany. Then he studied at Peking University and spent over thirty years in China. As a translator and educator, he launched workshops to improve Chinese literature in Germany, aiming to address the imbalance in cultural translation.
Dunhuang’s experience also inspired his thoughts on digital-age dialogue. He believes technologies like digital protection and virtual (虚拟的) exhibitions can make ancient treasures accessible, helping people welcome differences with openness. “We can achieve win-win progress only by learning from each other,” he notes, stressing how Dunhuang’s age-old wisdom holds the key to modern global harmony.
As his trip ended, Woesler carried away more than memories — he got renewed confidence in the power of civilizational dialogue. “Dunhuang is not just a place; it’s a lesson in how diversity can create something timeless,” he concludes, hoping its spirit will guide modern efforts to build a more connected world.
24．What is the main purpose of Martin Woesler’s visit to Dunhuang
A．To study Chinese poetry and literature.
B．To take a vacation along the Silk Road.
C．To attend a meeting on cultural exchanges.
D．To give a speech about digital technology.
25．In Cave 285 of the Mogao Grottoes, visitors can see frescoes of ________.
A．cultural elements from different countries
B．German and Chinese poetry translations
C．modern digital exhibitions of ancient art
D．only Chinese gods and historical stories
26．What did Woesler do to help cultural exchange between China and Germany
A．He wrote many Chinese poems.
B．He built a museum in Dunhuang.
C．He only studied at Peking University.
D．He started workshops to introduce Chinese literature.
27．From Woesler’s words, what can we infer about Dunhuang’s role in today’s world
A．It is mainly a popular place for tourists.
B．Its spirit helps connect different cultures.
C．It has lost its importance in modern times.
D．It focuses on teaching Greek art and stories.
In recent years, interest in space tourism has grown rapidly. Once a concept limited to science fiction, space travel for private individuals is now becoming a reality. Companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are developing commercial spaceflight programs, promising a future where ordinary people can experience life beyond Earth. Wealthy adventurers, celebrities, and even a few researchers have already taken part in these early missions, drawing global attention.
However, space tourism has also raised concerns. Critics argue that it remains an activity for the wealthy, with tickets costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Others worry about the environmental impact. Rocket launches release large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Some scientists warn that without proper rules, more spaceflights could make the problem worse.
Supporters, on the other hand, believe that space tourism has benefits. It encourages technological progress in aerospace, which could lower the cost of space travel in the future. Additionally, some believe that seeing Earth from space — often called the “overview effect” — gives travelers a deeper appreciation for the planet and inspires greater environmental responsibility. Documentaries and interviews suggest that this change in attitude is real and lasting.
Despite the excitement, space tourism is only at an early stage. Although some private flights have reached the edge of space, it is not yet a common activity. The cost must come down, and safety must be improved before it becomes available to more people. Some experts compare it to the early days of air travel. Planes were once rare and expensive, but today they carry millions every day. The same may happen with space tourism, though it could take many years.
For now, space tourism remains an exciting yet controversial topic. Although the idea of ordinary people traveling to space is inspiring, questions about cost, safety, and environmental impact must be solved before it can truly take off.
28．According to the text, which of the following is TRUE about space tourism
A．Rocket launches do not release any harmful gases.
B．Most scientists believe it has no environmental risks.
C．It has already become affordable for ordinary people.
D．Some famous people have experienced the space travel.
29．What can we infer from the text about the future of space tourism
A．It will replace traditional air travel in ten years.
B．Everyone will be able to travel to space very soon.
C．Scientists think it is already very safe for all people.
D．It may become common if costs are greatly reduced.
30．What does the underlined word “controversial” mean in the last paragraph
A．Causing disagreement. B．Widely accepted.
C．Easy to understand. D．Highly expensive.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．The History of Space Travel
B．How to Become a Space Tourist
C．Space Tourism: Its Potential Benefits and Existing Problems
D．Environmental Problems Caused by Rocket Launches
Fitting your exercise into the weekend not only brings physical benefits equally with regular workouts, but is just as good for your brain, a study suggests.
A study of more than 10,000 people has found that both “weekend warriors” — people who exercised just once or twice a week — and those who took part in more regular physical activity showed a lower risk of developing more than 200 diseases compared with inactive people.
“I think our study is good news for busy people around the world,” said Dr Gary O’Donovan. “This is our latest weekend warrior study, and it’s now becoming increasingly clear that the benefits of exercising once or twice a week are much the same as exercising more often.”
Research suggests such exercise could also bring benefits for the brain. O’Donovan and his colleagues analyzed data from the Mexico City Prospective Study, a study in which individuals aged 35 and older were surveyed for the first time between 1998 and 2004, and for a second time between 2015 and 2019.
The results from the first survey revealed that, out of 10,033 participants (参与者), 79.2% reported doing no sport or exercise, 7.2% were “weekend warriors”, and 13.6% exercised more regularly. In the second survey, participants were screened for cognitive impairment (认知障碍) and dementia (痴呆). The results reveal 26% of those who reported no sport or exercise in the first survey met the criteria for mild dementia, compared with 14% of weekend warriors and 18.5% of the regularly active group.
Khurshid, who was not involved in the study, welcomed the research noting that it supported the idea that individuals should get their physical activity in a way that works for them.
32．How did O’Donovan and his colleagues carry out their study
A．By making surveys. B．By giving interviews.
C．By analyzing data. D．By analyzing causes and effects.
33．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A．The reasons to do the study. B．The findings of the study.
C．The purposes of the study. D．The methods used in the study.
34．What’s the attitude of Khurshid towards the research
A．Unclear. B．Indifferent. C．Negative. D．Positive.
35．What can we learn from the text
A．Putting exercise into weekends also does good to our health.
B．Weekend warriors face a higher risk of diseases than others.
C．More than 10,000 people think of themselves as weekend warriors.
D．Inactive people are less likely to develop more than 200 diseases.

67．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。
For years, my family hadn’t taken a real vacation; work and school filled every day. This year I said, “We need a trip.” I looked on the net and found The Manor, an old hotel by the sea. The web page showed two bright sites: a white lighthouse (灯塔) on a hill and a dining room that had won a prize. I booked at once. A simple walk on the beach We could do that anywhere. I wanted the beautiful view on the top of the lighthouse and a fine meal with candles.
Just before we left, my father gave me a hug. “Remember,” he said softly, “we can’t control the situations, but we can always choose our attitude.” I thought of how he always managed to turn rainy days into opportunities for simple games, finding joy anyhow. I smiled, but confident in my mind that our trip would be so perfect that we would never need his wisdom.
Unfortunately, our journey began with an unexpected storm. A cold rain poured down so heavily that we couldn’t see the landscape outside our car. Arriving at the hotel, our hopes for an afternoon swim were refused by a sign on the locked pool door: “Closed for Renovation (翻修)”. Our next thought, a drink at the hotel bar, was met with another sign: “Closed on Mondays”. Disappointed, we went to bed early, with the only hope of visiting the lighthouse the next morning.
The next day dawned cloudless, the sun pouring warm gold over sea and sand. We drove to the lighthouse. From the parking lot, we could see a small path in the tall grass, but we only cared about the lighthouse. “The view from the top will be amazing!” I shouted. I ran to the gate first and then my breath stopped. A big metal sign read: “Closed for Renovation”.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
I turned back and looked at my husband in disappointment.

W: Nice. So, let’s begin.
18．C 19．B 20．A
【原文】Hello, everyone. Welcome to my show. Nowadays, many people would rather bake than play outside. Why Studies have shown that baking and handicraft bring a sense of happiness and satisfaction. Professor Donna Pincus from Boston University believes that people get stress relief when they have some ways to express themselves. Baking is very good for focusing the mind because it requires full attention. But most importantly, people need to follow the absolutely right steps, otherwise the food they are baking won’t taste good. Having complete focus on the baking can have an effect of relaxation. People will have little time to worry about other things that cause stress and anxiety while they are enjoying baking. What’s more, baking provides happy moments when cookies or cakes are finished and shared with family or friends. “The act of sharing your finished product can be good for the body and soul,” Professor Donna Pincus said. “You think that you have done something good for the world, which possibly increases your meaning in life and connection with others.”

Dear Ar lung,
Greatly nice to hear that you are planning to go sightseeing in Zhaoyang District, Zhaotong city, my hometown, I’m here to offer you some practical tips and sincerely hope you can have a good time.
Dashanbao mountain has gained much popularity these years, in which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of fabulous snowy landscape and perhaps it’s an opportunity for you to go skiing. And you can never miss the chance to try Zhaotong little meat skewers, characterized by their distinctive taste with a harmonious blend of flavors, quite different from Dai style skewers in your hometown. I recommend you should wrap up warm since it’s freezing cold outside in winter.
Hopefully suggestions above are of use to you. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,

67．例文
I turned back and looked at my husband in disappointment. My shoulders sank and my head lowered. “The big attractions are closed, but our adventure isn’t over,” my husband gave me a warm smile and said. His calm voice reminded me of my father’s advice: we can always choose our attitude. At that moment, I made a choice. I would not let a few locked doors ruin our family vacation. Taking a deep breath, I nodded toward the small path we had noticed earlier.
The path led to a silent beach. Bright sun warmed the soft beach, making it shine like gold. Instead of feeling disappointed, we took off our shoes and ran towards the waves. We not only had a morning swim, but also had a simple walk on the beach. We spent the next hour like treasure hunters, laughing as we searched for the most beautiful pieces. We couldn’t change that our plans had failed, but we had changed our attitude. That simple choice gave us a more joyful and memorable day than any grand plan could have.
