UNESCO is an international body charged with the preservation of some of the world’s most precious historic
sites. Here are some of the most awe-inspiring UNESCO-listed places in Europe.
Kronborg Castle, Denmark
This symbolic Danish castle stands proudly on the stretch of water that separates Denmark from Sweden and
has long been strategically important to both nations. For over three centuries, Kronborg Castle was used to control
access to the Baltic Sea and was a significant source of income for Denmark.
Stonehenge, Britain
As one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world, Stonehenge is a ring of standing stones. It has been
an important burial site since around 3100 BCE. The formation of the stones is believed to have astronomical
significance, but is still not completely understood by historians and scientists.
Alhambra, Spain
The Alhambra and nearby Albayzin were the rural residences of the emirs who governed this part of Spain
from the 7th century. The building’s architecture is a remarkable example of Mudejar art, mixing Arabic styles with
traditional Andalusian design.
Sagrada Família, Spain
Antoni Gaudí is one of Spain’s most famous architects, and the force behind works such as Sagrada Família,
Casa Batlló, and Park Güell, all of which have been listed as important heritage sites by UNESCO. The Sagrada
Família has been under construction since 1882 and is expected to be completed in 2026.

Some mothers quietly change the world with dirty clothes in one hand and love in the other. And sometimes, it’
s not their strength that changes everything — it’s what they do after they’ve been completely broken.
Kari Cox, a mom in Culloden, West Virginia, knows what it means to love hard — and lose harder. She and
her husband, Bill, a special education teacher, have adopted and raised 14 children, many with special needs. Can
you imagine the love and the disorder For years, she lived the quiet miracle of motherhood: piles of dirty clothes,
sticky floors, noise around the dinner table, and hugs that healed places no doctor ever could.
But even the strongest mothers fall apart sometimes. Thirteen years ago, Kari and Bill adopted Maribeth, a
beautiful, brilliant girl with high-functioning autism (孤独症) and a black-and-white way of seeing the world.
While they were lost in the happiness of a family, Maribeth was struck and killed by a car in 2021. It was a moment
that shattered the Cox family.
She couldn’t imagine going through that kind of loss again. She had given her heart — and it was buried with
her daughter. So Kari decided she was done. No more adoptions. No more risk. No more room for more heartbreak.
Until one day, as she was going through Maribeth’s things, she found her daughter’s journal. Maribeth, the girl
who rarely shared her feelings, had written these words to herself: “I was lucky to be given what many may never
have — a loving family that will always be here no matter what.”
At that moment, deep sadness cracked wide open by grace, and something shifted. The daughter who Kari
thought was her last adoption became the reason for more. That journal didn’t just change Kari’s heart — it
changed her mission. It made room for hope again.
4. What is the paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The work of the couple. B. The daily life of the family.
C. The healing effect of disorder. D. The special needs of the children.
5. What does the underlined word “shattered” in the paragraph 3 mean
A. Expanded. B. Prevented. C. Destroyed. D. Surrounded.
6. What made Kari initially decide to stop adopting children
A. Financial difficulties. B. Desire for a quieter life.
C. Need for rest. D. Fear of further heartbreak.
7. What message does the story mainly convey
A. Hope can return even after deep loss. B. Love always brings pain and suffering.
C. Adopting children is a dangerous choice. D. Journals help people remember the past.
C
The “Smartphone Free Childhood (SFC)” movement has rapidly emerged as a powerful grassroots campaign,
advocating that “childhood is too short to be spent on a smartphone”. At its heart, a simple suggestion: delay
getting your child a phone until they’re 14, and access to social media until the age of 16. Give young minds a
chance to develop free from the world of the algorithms (算法) which, to put it mildly, have hardly been designed
with their welfare in mind.
SFC was born from a casual conversation between two mothers, Daisy Greenwell and Clare Ferynough.
Concerned by the mental health evidence and the peer pressure surrounding phones, Greenwell felt a “fire” to act.
Statistics show the scale of the issue: In the UK,89% of 12-year-olds and a quarter of 5- to 7-year-olds own a phone,
with the average age of first ownership being just 9.
The movement highlights a strong correlation between the rise of smartphones around 2010 and a
“skyrocketing” increase in teenage anxiety and depression. Dr Peter Cosgrove, SFC adviser, observes a clear link,
noting how children’s mental health often improves when their phones are removed. The dangers include exposure
to violent content, constant distracting notifications, and some other serious risks.
What began as a small online group has grown into a force with a team of six and a “Parent Pact” signed by
140,000 families globally. SFC works with schools, like Alderbrook, where headteacher Tom Beveridge has seen
an improvement in student interaction after carrying out a phone-hand-in plan.
SFC clarifies it is not “anti-tech”. Co-founder Joe Ryrie states, “Tech isn’t the enemy; it’s how we use it that
matters.” The movement is not calling for a total ban; instead, it looks for a middle ground. And it is even working
with a producer to develop a safer, child-friendly phone. However, they call for legal changes, such as shifting the
age of digital consent (准许) from 13 to 16. While governments like Australia are taking action, the UK
government has so far been hesitant, but the growing push of SFC suggests the issue will be impossible to ignore.
8. What is the author’s attitude to the algorithms according to paragraph 1
A. Curious. B. Appreciative. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
9. How does paragraph 2 show the popularity of children using phones
A. By listing data.
B. By citing a document.
C. By making assumptions.
D. By drawing comparisons.
10. What does Dr Cosgrove stress about phone removal
A. Its physical risks to children.
B. Its psychological benefits to children.
C. Its negative impact on children’s social interaction.
D. Its unclear relationship with children’s mental health.
11. What does the SFC movement advocate
A. Tech balance in youth.
B. A total tech ban at school.
C. Lowering the digital-consent age.
D. A constant phone-free environment.

Across the United States, more than 440 national parks and 7,400 urban parks offer a variety of recreational
green spaces for people and pets. Yet, the US Forest Service warns that urbanization, including park development,
is reducing natural habitats for plants and animals, doing harm to wildlife survival.
How can urban parks continue to be vital shelters for wildlife, even as they are designed to meet the growing
needs of people Scientists at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS)
studied the parks of one of the most populated counties in the Sunshine State — Broward — to answer that
question.
Researchers analyzed over 600 urban green spaces throughout Broward County to explore how different
physical features such as tree canopy, athletic facilities, and playgrounds relate to human activity and biodiversity.
“We found that the size of the green space is a strong predictor of both human use and biodiversity.
Importantly, our findings highlight that green spaces need to be carefully designed to support biodiversity, but also
a mix of green spaces with different goals is important,” says Corey Callaghan, senior author of the study.
To further enhance the coexistence of human activities and wildlife in urban green spaces, the use of modern
technology and community involvement is essential. One way to incorporate them is through data-driven insights,
made possible by citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, which allow people to directly contribute to our
understanding of biodiversity in urban spaces.
Citizen science platforms like iNaturalist played a vital role in gathering the vast amount of biodiversity data
needed for this study. By providing members of the public with a way to contribute observations of plants and
animals in urban parks, these platforms provide a unique and scalable (可扩展的) tool to assess biodiversity across
large areas.
“As cities continue to expand, we need to ensure our green spaces are working harder for both people and
biodiversity,” says Callaghan. “That means ongoing investment in research, monitoring, and community science
platforms like iNaturalist. The more we know, the better we can design spaces that are inclusive for both humans
and biodiversity.”
12. What does US Forest Service say about urban parks
A. They’re benefiting wildlife. B. They’re inadequate for humans.
C. They’re threats to wildlife habitats. D. They’re lacking park maintenance.
13. How do citizen science platforms benefit biodiversity research
A. By collecting large-scale biodiversity data.
B. By educating the public about wildlife.
C. By perfecting the design of eco-friendly parks.
D. By monitoring pollution levels in parks.
14. What does Callaghan believe is essential for future green space development
A. Public awareness. B. Continued support.
C. Advanced equipment. D. Strict regulations.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Role of Citizen Science in Urban Park Research
B. The Negative Impact of Urbanization on National Parks
C. The Importance of Large-Sized Green Spaces in Urban Parks
D. The Balance Between Human Needs and Wildlife Habitats in Urban Parks

The Unexpected Harvest
The first weekend of July, I arrived at my grandparents’ farm, where a variety of plants, ranging from
vegetables to flowers, were planted. Tired of city life, I hoped for adventure. Grandpa, seeing my boredom, handed
me not seeds, but a box of small plants. “We start with young plants, David. These will flower and bear fruit,
producing eggplants (茄子). They love summer.” He also showed me a separate tomato field. Grandma smiled
nearby. “Look, these purple tomatoes, eggplants’ neighbors, will flower too! Nature has its own plans,” she said.
My labor began not with waiting, but with doing. I decided to help transplant each young eggplant into the soft
earth under my grandpa’s guidance.
Over the summer, the garden became my project. In the hot sun, I learned to work the land, water deeply, and
tie the growing plants to strong sticks. Grandma taught me to check the leaves. One morning, I found holes in the
eggplant leaves! I was at a loss about what to do, so I called Grandpa. Calmly, he prepared a spray (喷雾) made of
garlic and pepper. “We protect, not attack,” he said. As we sprayed, I noticed the nearby tomato plants stood
unharmed, their distinct smell filling the air. Slowly, my plants recovered, stronger than before.
By September, the plants were tall and full. Excited about the harvest, I returned one sunny weekend. The air
was cool and sweet. I bent down, searching under the broad leaves. My fingers found smooth, shiny eggplants, cool
to the touch. Deep in the corner where the two plant families met, I saw a perfect, round, deep purple fruit
half-hidden. Thinking it the best “eggplant” of all, I gently picked it off, its stem (茎) feeling oddly smooth. I could
imagine the” eggplant “dish would be the highlight of the dinner.

Some mothers quietly change the world with dirty clothes in one hand and love in the other. And sometimes, it’
s not their strength that changes everything — it’s what they do after they’ve been completely broken.
Kari Cox, a mom in Culloden, West Virginia, knows what it means to love hard — and lose harder. She and
her husband, Bill, a special education teacher, have adopted and raised 14 children, many with special needs. Can
you imagine the love and the disorder For years, she lived the quiet miracle of motherhood: piles of dirty clothes,
sticky floors, noise around the dinner table, and hugs that healed places no doctor ever could.
But even the strongest mothers fall apart sometimes. Thirteen years ago, Kari and Bill adopted Maribeth, a
beautiful, brilliant girl with high-functioning autism (孤独症) and a black-and-white way of seeing the world.
While they were lost in the happiness of a family, Maribeth was struck and killed by a car in 2021. It was a moment
that shattered the Cox family.
She couldn’t imagine going through that kind of loss again. She had given her heart — and it was buried with
her daughter. So Kari decided she was done. No more adoptions. No more risk. No more room for more heartbreak.
Until one day, as she was going through Maribeth’s things, she found her daughter’s journal. Maribeth, the girl
who rarely shared her feelings, had written these words to herself: “I was lucky to be given what many may never
have — a loving family that will always be here no matter what.”
At that moment, deep sadness cracked wide open by grace, and something shifted. The daughter who Kari
thought was her last adoption became the reason for more. That journal didn’t just change Kari’s heart — it
changed her mission. It made room for hope again.
4. What is the paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The work of the couple. B. The daily life of the family.
C. The healing effect of disorder. D. The special needs of the children.
5. What does the underlined word “shattered” in the paragraph 3 mean
A. Expanded. B. Prevented. C. Destroyed. D. Surrounded.
6. What made Kari initially decide to stop adopting children
A. Financial difficulties. B. Desire for a quieter life.
C. Need for rest. D. Fear of further heartbreak.
7. What message does the story mainly convey
A. Hope can return even after deep loss. B. Love always brings pain and suffering.
C. Adopting children is a dangerous choice. D. Journals help people remember the past.

The “Smartphone Free Childhood (SFC)” movement has rapidly emerged as a powerful grassroots campaign,
advocating that “childhood is too short to be spent on a smartphone”. At its heart, a simple suggestion: delay
getting your child a phone until they’re 14, and access to social media until the age of 16. Give young minds a
chance to develop free from the world of the algorithms (算法) which, to put it mildly, have hardly been designed
with their welfare in mind.
SFC was born from a casual conversation between two mothers, Daisy Greenwell and Clare Ferynough.
Concerned by the mental health evidence and the peer pressure surrounding phones, Greenwell felt a “fire” to act.
Statistics show the scale of the issue: In the UK,89% of 12-year-olds and a quarter of 5- to 7-year-olds own a phone,
with the average age of first ownership being just 9.
The movement highlights a strong correlation between the rise of smartphones around 2010 and a
“skyrocketing” increase in teenage anxiety and depression. Dr Peter Cosgrove, SFC adviser, observes a clear link,
noting how children’s mental health often improves when their phones are removed. The dangers include exposure
to violent content, constant distracting notifications, and some other serious risks.
What began as a small online group has grown into a force with a team of six and a “Parent Pact” signed by
140,000 families globally. SFC works with schools, like Alderbrook, where headteacher Tom Beveridge has seen
an improvement in student interaction after carrying out a phone-hand-in plan.
SFC clarifies it is not “anti-tech”. Co-founder Joe Ryrie states, “Tech isn’t the enemy; it’s how we use it that
matters.” The movement is not calling for a total ban; instead, it looks for a middle ground. And it is even working
with a producer to develop a safer, child-friendly phone. However, they call for legal changes, such as shifting the
age of digital consent (准许) from 13 to 16. While governments like Australia are taking action, the UK
government has so far been hesitant, but the growing push of SFC suggests the issue will be impossible to ignore.
8. What is the author’s attitude to the algorithms according to paragraph 1
A. Curious. B. Appreciative. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
9. How does paragraph 2 show the popularity of children using phones
A. By listing data.
B. By citing a document.
C. By making assumptions.
D. By drawing comparisons.
10. What does Dr Cosgrove stress about phone removal
A. Its physical risks to children.
B. Its psychological benefits to children.
C. Its negative impact on children’s social interaction.
D. Its unclear relationship with children’s mental health.
11. What does the SFC movement advocate
A. Tech balance in youth.
B. A total tech ban at school.
C. Lowering the digital-consent age.
D. A constant phone-free environment.

Across the United States, more than 440 national parks and 7,400 urban parks offer a variety of recreational
green spaces for people and pets. Yet, the US Forest Service warns that urbanization, including park development,
is reducing natural habitats for plants and animals, doing harm to wildlife survival.
How can urban parks continue to be vital shelters for wildlife, even as they are designed to meet the growing
needs of people Scientists at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS)
studied the parks of one of the most populated counties in the Sunshine State — Broward — to answer that
question.
Researchers analyzed over 600 urban green spaces throughout Broward County to explore how different
physical features such as tree canopy, athletic facilities, and playgrounds relate to human activity and biodiversity.
“We found that the size of the green space is a strong predictor of both human use and biodiversity.
Importantly, our findings highlight that green spaces need to be carefully designed to support biodiversity, but also
a mix of green spaces with different goals is important,” says Corey Callaghan, senior author of the study.
To further enhance the coexistence of human activities and wildlife in urban green spaces, the use of modern
technology and community involvement is essential. One way to incorporate them is through data-driven insights,
made possible by citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, which allow people to directly contribute to our
understanding of biodiversity in urban spaces.
Citizen science platforms like iNaturalist played a vital role in gathering the vast amount of biodiversity data
needed for this study. By providing members of the public with a way to contribute observations of plants and
animals in urban parks, these platforms provide a unique and scalable (可扩展的) tool to assess biodiversity across
large areas.
“As cities continue to expand, we need to ensure our green spaces are working harder for both people and
biodiversity,” says Callaghan. “That means ongoing investment in research, monitoring, and community science
platforms like iNaturalist. The more we know, the better we can design spaces that are inclusive for both humans
and biodiversity.”
12. What does US Forest Service say about urban parks
A. They’re benefiting wildlife. B. They’re inadequate for humans.
C. They’re threats to wildlife habitats. D. They’re lacking park maintenance.
13. How do citizen science platforms benefit biodiversity research
A. By collecting large-scale biodiversity data.
B. By educating the public about wildlife.
C. By perfecting the design of eco-friendly parks.
D. By monitoring pollution levels in parks.
14. What does Callaghan believe is essential for future green space development
A. Public awareness. B. Continued support.
C. Advanced equipment. D. Strict regulations.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Role of Citizen Science in Urban Park Research
B. The Negative Impact of Urbanization on National Parks
C. The Importance of Large-Sized Green Spaces in Urban Parks
D. The Balance Between Human Needs and Wildlife Habitats in Urban Parks

The Unexpected Harvest
The first weekend of July, I arrived at my grandparents’ farm, where a variety of plants, ranging from
vegetables to flowers, were planted. Tired of city life, I hoped for adventure. Grandpa, seeing my boredom, handed
me not seeds, but a box of small plants. “We start with young plants, David. These will flower and bear fruit,
producing eggplants (茄子). They love summer.” He also showed me a separate tomato field. Grandma smiled
nearby. “Look, these purple tomatoes, eggplants’ neighbors, will flower too! Nature has its own plans,” she said.
My labor began not with waiting, but with doing. I decided to help transplant each young eggplant into the soft
earth under my grandpa’s guidance.
Over the summer, the garden became my project. In the hot sun, I learned to work the land, water deeply, and
tie the growing plants to strong sticks. Grandma taught me to check the leaves. One morning, I found holes in the
eggplant leaves! I was at a loss about what to do, so I called Grandpa. Calmly, he prepared a spray (喷雾) made of
garlic and pepper. “We protect, not attack,” he said. As we sprayed, I noticed the nearby tomato plants stood
unharmed, their distinct smell filling the air. Slowly, my plants recovered, stronger than before.
By September, the plants were tall and full. Excited about the harvest, I returned one sunny weekend. The air
was cool and sweet. I bent down, searching under the broad leaves. My fingers found smooth, shiny eggplants, cool
to the touch. Deep in the corner where the two plant families met, I saw a perfect, round, deep purple fruit
half-hidden. Thinking it the best “eggplant” of all, I gently picked it off, its stem (茎) feeling oddly smooth. I could
imagine the” eggplant “dish would be the highlight of the dinner.

【答案】
That evening, Grandma suggested I cook. I proudly showed her my basket of harvest. When I took out the
purple “eggplant” and began washing it, Grandma’s eyes widened. “David,” she said gently, her voice filled with
amusement, “that’s not an eggplant. It’s a purple tomato!” My heart sank as I looked at the fruit in my hand, its
smooth skin and familiar shape now clearly different from the eggplants’ firm, glossy texture. I felt a wave of
embarrassment, realizing my carelessness in the excitement of the harvest.
“I had mistaken the tomato for the eggplant,” I smiled awkwardly. Grandma patted my shoulder, her laughter
warm and kind. “Nature does have its own plans,” she said, reminding me of her earlier words. She then explained
that the tomato’s distinct smell, which I had noticed earlier, was a natural defense that the eggplants lacked. That
evening, we cooked both the eggplants and the purple tomato together in a delicious stir-fry. The meal was more
than a dish; it was a lesson about patience, observation, and the unexpected connections in a garden. My summer of
labor had grown not just plants, but a deeper understanding of nature’s wisdom.
