A
Four Best National Parks in the World
Kakadu National Park, Australia
Although the Blue Mountains is Australia’s most visited national park, Kakadu is the largest and wins hands-down for natural beauty and historical importance. It covers over 20,000 square kilometres, with waterfalls pouring into natural pools, vast wetlands and wildlife-filled places. Kakadu’s highlight is one of the highest concentrations of rock art sites anywhere in the world.
Best time to visit: June to October
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
Croatia’s first national park in 1949 and now one of the country’s most popular attractions. Plitvice Lakes is a waterworld of pools with changing colors, pouring waterfalls and interconnected watercourses. The lakes sit on two levels, and the surrounding woodland is visited by brown bears, wolves and lynx, with various trees alive with rare birds.
Best time to visit: Summer greens, fall golds and winter snows make Plitvice an ever-changing year-round destination
Vatnajokull National Park, Iceland
Here you’ll find all the natural wonders that this island has become famous for— ice caves, waterfalls, and glaciers that can be hiked on. And most of these attractions can be accessed relatively easily off Iceland’s Ring Road, four hours or so from Reykjavik. The Park was created in 2008 by joining together Jokulsargljufur and Skaftafell National Park to create a supersized area of over 12,000 square kilometres, making it the largest national park in Europe.
Best time to visit: Summer for hiking; winter for ice cave tours
Tongariro National Park, New Zealand
Tongariro National Park has two World Heritage roles for its cultural and natural significance. The Park’s 19-kilometre Tongariro Alpine Crossing is also one of the best day hikes on the planet. It offers the chance to summit(登顶)an active volcano, hiking over burnt volcanic rock up to the Red Crater for impressive views.
Best time to visit: Summer gives the best chance of good weather; winter hikes are possible but increasingly unpredictable
1. When are tourists advised to go to Kakadu National Park
A. In April. B. In September. C. In November. D. In December.
2. Where should tourists go to visit the largest national park in Europe
A. Australia. B. Croatia. C. Iceland. D. New Zealand.

Ask just about any 12-year-old what their favorite time of the day is and you’ll get a resounding answer: lunch! But for Alejandro Buxton, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business. Alejandro has a goal of being a bright light in the world.
It all started when Alejandro discovered that commercial candles gave his mom headaches. He figured there must be a way to make an all-natural candle that was safe. So he dug into the world of wax and found a soy-based wax that is chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent, and Smell of Love Candles was born.
Alejandro sells his candles at local fairs and to his neighbors. Then his online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he started seventh grade-and opened his first retail store at Tysons Corner Center, a regional mall outside Washington, D.C. As his candles become a much bigger operation, he is always experimenting with new scents like Donut Kill My Vibe, the perfect after-school scent that gets you in the mood for a snack.
Alejandro started his business to build his college fund. But running a business is about more than making money for him. He sets aside a portion of the profit to give back to the community. Some of the money supports the local homeless shelter, and some goes into a scholarship fund for kids who need a little help with college.
His mother, Patricia, is impressed with her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it has strengthened their bond to be together and see how his mind works, adding, “It’s been really inspiring.”
Alejandro has big goals and an even bigger heart. With all the problems that seem to rob many of us of the motivation to move forward, Alejandro has chosen to focus on a solution that works, not only for him, but as an inspiration to others, no matter their age.
4. Why did Alejandro initially produce all-natural candles
A. To innovate candle products.
B. To maintain his mother’s physical fitness.
C. To set up an environmental-friendly business.
D. To make money for college and helping others.
5. What makes Alejandro’s candle popular in the market
A. Its low cost and high quality. B. Its safety and attractive scents.
C. His donation to the community. D. His care for the homeless and kids.
6. What words can be used to describe Alejandro
A. Outgoing and hardworking. B. Caring and adventurous.
C. Creative and generous. D. Ambitious and romantic.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A close bond between mom and son.
B. A smart seven-grade business owner.
C. An innovative candle with new scents.
D. A young boy’s tough journey to success.
C
In the last hundred years, the Bali mynah (巴厘岛白椋鸟) has been sought after for its white feathers and blue skin. The capture for sale along with the bird’s habitat loss led to its being listed as “threatened” in 1988.
Now, conservationists are hoping to increase the mynah population by working with bird breeders (繁育者) and sellers to release them into the wild. Breeders can seek government permits to breed the birds. If approved, breeders are given mynahs and can keep 90 percent of the baby birds for private sale. The remaining birds are released at the National Park, where they will be closely watched by park officials.
Early mynah releases faced problems. Some birds were infected with some diseases; others were killed by natural hunters. Illegal hunting also continued — the national park’s breeding center was even robbed, with nearly 40 birds stolen.
Yet conservation efforts in the last ten years have seen greater success. Tom Squires, a famous conservationist, said, “Bird keepers can still keep birds and follow their hobby without causing real problems for wild populations — which is better than species going extinct in the world.”
Agus Ngurah, also a well-known conservationist, praised the program. “With the community being the breeders... they are helping us to take care of the birds existing in nature,” he said.
Squires noted that there is clear evidence that some release d birds have produced young ones. “So that leads me to believe that the population is certainly self-sustaining to an extent,” he said. Meanwhile, 420 Bali mynahs are now found living in the National Park.
According to Logan William another conservationist, “The government should give something back to the community so they can feel the benefits from conservation, and the bird can also benefit.”
8. Why is the mynah hunted by humans
A. They are pests. B. They taste good.
C. They look beautiful. D. They are countless.
9. How many problems did early releases face
A Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
10. What can we infer from the three conservationists’ words
A. The government contributes the least.
B. Bird keepers can keep the birds freely.
C. The efforts of protecting the mynah have paid off.
D. The community can breed birds for profits completely.
11. What might be the writer’s attitude to the breeding programme
A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Opposed.
D
“I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper.
A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels.” They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply.
This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random.
Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments.
In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text.
As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing.
12. What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos
A. Revealing flaws in speech. B. Recording spoken words.
C. Organizing thoughts. D. Ensuring fluency.
13. What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures
A. It ensures greater objectivity.
B. It makes for logical statements.
C. It preserves knowledge longer.
D. It requires “memorable thoughts”.
14. Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”
A. To show its interactive feature.
B. To contrast with online reading.
C. To underline its logical structure.
D. To highlight its cultural relevance.
15 What is the author’s attitude towards people’s reasoning capacity
A. Dismissive. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Skeptical.

Simon was the star of the school sports team. He loved the thrill of outrunning the wind and crossing the finish line first. His name was always on the tip of everyone’s tongue when it came to school sports events.
His little brother, Charlie, loved running too and had always been a fan of Simon. He admired his brother from the bottom of his heart, his eyes wide with excitement as Simon sped past everyone on the track. He wanted to be like Simon and feel the wind in his hair as he ran. Charlie’s dream of being a runner grew like a tiny seed, but was overshadowed by his brother’s bright light. He realized he could never run as fast as Simon did: His feet felt heavy on the track, and his heart was even heavier with fear.
As the annual school sports day approached, Charlie saw the notice on the school bulletin board. His heart did a little dance. A running race! He wanted to be a part of it, to feel the excitement that Simon felt. With a trembling hand, Charlie wrote his name on the list and signed up for the running race, which would take place in two weeks.
That night, he couldn’t sleep, his mind racing with worries. He tossed and turned, picturing himself tripping and falling. What if he lost What if everyone laughed at him He couldn’t contain himself and sobbed quietly. He felt as if he was a tiny bird trying to fly alongside an eagle.
When Simon found Charlie crying in his room, he knew something was up. “Hey buddy, what’s all this ” he asked softly, his face filled with concern. Charlie looked up at his big brother with a long sigh and said, “I am going to lose, Simon. I’m not like you. I will never run as fast as you do.”
