Few world events can conjure the kind of widespread dynamic energy that the FIFA World Cup does. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Here are some frequently asked questions about it.
How to buy tickets
According to FIFA’s announcements, tickets for the 2026 World Cup are expected to go on sale in 2025. You can register on FIFA’s official website to receive updates. Ticket sales will be available through FIFA’s official ticketing platform, and there will also be hospitality packages through FIFA’s partner, On Location, which may include VIP seating and VIP experiences.

My head was so full of digital noise that it felt like my brain was about to blow a fuse (导火线). I had no greater power of concentration than the lifeless stare of a goldfish. As a writer, I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been vitiated by a brain that simply could not sit still.
So, this year I committed myself to restoring books to the place that they held in my life before the Internet broke my brain.
My goal was 52 books: It seemed like an impossible task. A 400-page book will take the average person around eight hours to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here’s how I did it. I started with treating my mind like a misbehaving child, who needs some discipline. Then I decided that I would read for an hour or two at a time without distraction each day.
In The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practice spending time away from our electronic devices, the calmer and more focused we become. And this is what I found. Again and again, I would gently bring myself back to the page, resisting the urge to reach for that screen, an experience that echoes Nikki Gemmell, who describes in On Quiet, how investing in a safe to lock away her family’s devices for long periods had opened up a space for deep reflection. For me, finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was like a date between me and my book. And it meant actively choosing to read at times when I normally would reach for my phone.
By reawakening my love with books, I created a sacred space where I could press pause and found inspiration, knowledge, reflection and escape. In our modern world, reading is a powerful and beneficial way for us to slow down and be ourselves.
24. What does the underlined word “vitiated” mean in Paragraph 1
A. Removed. B. Weakened. C. Restored. D. Activated.
25. What was the author’s initial feeling about his goal of reading 52 books
A. It was exciting and motivating. B. It was a goal set by someone else.
C. It appeared to be an impossible mission. D. It seemed achievable without much effort.
26 Why does the author mention two books in Paragraph 4
A. To explain benefits of reading. B. To provide support for his own practice.
C. To recommend them to readers. D. To list disadvantages of digital noise.
27. What does the author want to convey in the text
A. Books are what have made us.
B. Rejecting the Internet is a top priority.
C. To return to books is to reclaim our focus.
D. The quietest people have the loudest minds.
C
In recent years, the sharp increase in global rocket launches has transformed the sky, fueled by the rapid growth of the space industry. This creates major opportunities but also raises environmental challenges. Pollutants released during rocket launches and re-entry are left in the middle atmosphere, where they can damage the ozone layer (臭氧层) which protects Earth against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Investigations into how rocket emissions (排放) affect ozone began more than three decades ago, but for many years the impact was considered minimal. As the frequency of launches continues to rise, this view is shifting. In 2019, only 97 orbital launches were recorded worldwide, but by 2024, the figure had climbed to 258, with projections pointing to continued rapid growth.
Unlike ground-level pollutants, emissions from rockets and re-entering satellites can stay in the middle and upper atmosphere up to 100 times longer, since removal processes such as precipitation do not occur at those heights. While most launches take place in the Northern Hemisphere, the atmospheric flow eventually distributes the pollutants globally.
Recently, researchers from ETH Zurich and the Physical Meteorological Observatory in Davos, in cooperation with Laura Revell’s international team at the University of Canterbury, used a chemistry-climate model to see how future emissions might impact the ozone layer by 2030.
With 2,040 annual launches by 2030 — roughly eight times the 2024 total — the model predicts that global average ozone thickness would decrease by nearly 0.3%. Seasonal losses could reach as much as 4% over Antarctica, where the ozone hole continues to reappear each spring.
While these reductions may appear small, the context is critical. The ozone layer is still recovering from the earlier loss caused by long-lived chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were banned under the 1989 Montreal Protocol. Even today, global ozone thickness remains about 2% below pre-industrial levels, and the full recovery is not expected until around 2066.
But we believe a launch industry that avoids ozone-damaging effects is entirely possible: Monitoring rocket emissions and carrying out necessary and appropriate regulations are all key to ensuring that the ozone layer continues its recovery. This requires scientists, policymakers, and industry to work together.
28. What is the current view on rocket emissions
A. Their impact will become severe. B. Their distribution is location-limited.
C. They will decrease at a faster speed. D. They can be removed by precipitation.
29. Why was the recent research on rocket emissions conducted
A. To seek potential solutions. B. To look into their future effect.
C. To address climate change challenges. D. To figure out the leading contributors.
30. What is the function of paragraph 6
A. To show protecting the ozone layer is possible.
B. To indicate the dark future of the space industry.
C. To argue that the model predictions are worrying.
D. To set standards for global average ozone thickness.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A Global Rocket Launches Are Rocketing
B. Can the Ozone Layer Still Protect Earth
C. Rockets Could Eat Away at the Ozone Layer
D. Can Ozone-damaging Effects Be Avoided
D
For centuries, we’ve pursued happiness and meaning. But what does that leave out As a social psychologist, I have dedicated my research career to a simple, but universal question: what makes for a good life, and how can we achieve it
For much of human history, we have been presented with two possibilities: pursuing a life of happiness, or a life of meaning. Each of these paths has its benefits, but decades of psychological research have also revealed their limits.
Ask the Danes and Finns, who consistently rank among the happiest people in the world, what their secret is and they’ll tell you this: lower your expectations and be content with what you have. It sounds good, doesn’t it But it leaves something out. It’s a bit like being a college student who only takes easy courses to be sure of getting good grades. Might there be more to life than simple pleasures and cozy comfort
Then there’s the meaningful life. We often imagine that meaning flows from trying to change the world like Steve Jobs. Once again, the research shows that lowering your sights and focusing on the little things can offer a more achievable sense of meaning. Often people find it in routines like taking care of family, or volunteering in the community. But there is also a dark side to the pursuit of meaning: researchers have found that it can encourage people to draw sharp lines between those who belong in their group and those who don’t.
My research lab mapped out a third route to fulfillment: psychological richness. A psychologically rich life is one filled with diverse, unusual and interesting experiences that change your perspective; a life with twists and turns; a life that feels like a long, winding hike rather than many laps of the same racing circuit. Such experiences can make us tougher. Not only that, embracing the pursuit of psychological richness can make us less likely to regret: it matters less if the thing you did went wrong.
Perhaps no one said it better than Eleanor Roosevelt: “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear.”
32. What is revealed about pursuing happiness or meaning
A. They are valuable but not comprehensive.
B. They are sufficient for achieving personal fulfillment.
C. They are mainly promoted by specific cultural groups.
D. They are fully supported by decades of psychological research.
33. What problem may arise when people focus on meaningful routines
A. Too much pressure. B. Harm to family bonds.
C. Lower personal joy. D. Less care for other groups.
34. Which person is living a psychologically rich life described by the author
A. A student who only chooses easy courses to get good grades.
B. A graduate exploring the world through varied experiences.
C. A volunteer finding meaning in a fixed weekly routine.
D. A person achieving happiness by avoiding risks.
35. How does the author develop the argument in the passage
A. By using personal stories to show how an idea changes.
B. By describing three different life philosophies neutrally.
C. By showing statistics to rank how satisfied people are with life.
D. By evaluating the limitations of two paths before offering an alternative.

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。
It was a typical busy noon at the downtown fast-food spot. The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink.
As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired.
I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air.
My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next.
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。
My hesitation melted away.
