If you spend any significant part of your day streaming music, 2025 may have left you rethinking those listening habits. These habits have become increasingly boring, passionless and mechanical since music streaming grew popular. But nice changes are on the way, especially with young people loving physical music again. If you’re looking to diversify your music-listening habits in the new year, here’s a list of streaming platforms that you should check out:
Vintage Obscura Radio
This one is for the music lovers and collectors. An extension of the Vintage Obscura forum, this platform shines a light on the records collecting dust in the back of someone’s closet. Nothing from the 21st century and nothing with more than 30,000 views on YouTube. You can tune into the livestream, plus you can see what songs have played recently.
Radiooooo
This Paris-based website and app uses a similar layout (布局) to Radio Garden. Users can explore a virtual globe, tuning into music from different parts of the world. Users can submit music to Radiooooo for inclusion in the mix (曲库), with preference given to music from regions or time periods that are underrepresented.
Radio Alhara
Broadcasting from Bethlehem since 2020, Radio Alhara features a stylish and simple layout (布局). Inspired by their background in architecture, Yousef and Elias Anastas co-founded the online radio station with the intention of sharing music between friends. Since then, Radio Alhara has transformed into an international platform amplifying music and culture from the region, as well as local journalism, civil rights issues and messages of political resistance.
21. What may lead to people’s boring music habits
A. The lack of daily music time. B. The rise of music streaming.
C. The love of physical music. D. The dullness of music habits.
22. What is special about Radiooooo
A. It offers French local music. B. It allows users to upload music.
C. It has a stylish and simple design. D. It focuses on underrepresented music.
23. Where is the passage most probably taken from

C. A lifestyle magazine. D. A scientific report.
B
I remember when I started telling people about my upcoming solo (独自的) travel to Mongolia, I was met with surprise and often confusion. My manager at the time gave me a funny look and warned me against going there. I didn’t panic. I’d done my research. Mongolia wasn’t as dangerous as people thought — in fact, it’s far safer than a lot of more frequented countries, like South America.
The thing about Mongolia is… no one has been there. I don’t know a single other person in my life who has been there. Except for the friends I made while I was there.
That’s the thing about solo travel — you don’t technically have to do it alone. Since Mongolia held some risks to it and is considered one of the most remote regions in the world, I decided to join a small-group tour.
I admit I was a little nervous. Looking up past trips on this company’s website, it looked like it was a whole bunch of couples that frequented these tours. I started picturing six couples, enjoying a Mongolian sunset… and then little old me. Just off to the side, enjoying it on my own.
When I arrived in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, and met the rest of the tour, I was both surprised and thrilled to realise that, of the ten people on tour, there was only one pair. Everybody else was there on their own. And instead of sitting off to the side like I’d feared, I’d been tent-paired with a lovely young American girl called Annie. On what other occasions might I have met her if not for this solo trip The decision to travel solo, to not let the fact that I didn’t have a travel companion stop me, was what brought us together.
And that’s the beauty of travelling solo. When I’m alone, I’m more likely to branch out and talk to the locals and strangers, even if there’s a language barrier. And, in my experience, most people are good people. Start up a conversation, ask questions, and be curious. Most importantly: don’t be a tourist. Be a traveller.
24. What does the author say about Mongolia
A. It is hardly accessible. B. It is suitable for solo travel.
C. It is a popular destination. D. It is safer than people think.
25. Why was the author nervous about the small-group tour
A. She feared being left out. B. She feared being too old to bond.
C. She was unsure of the risks ahead. D. She was unfamiliar with such tours.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Annie
A. To illustrate a benefit of solo travel.
B. To show the friendliness of the small-group.
C. To stress the growing popularity of solo travel.
D. To explain the importance of cooperation in travel.
27. According to the author, what is most attractive about solo travel
A. The thrill of self-discovery. B. The freedom of being alone.
C. The authentic engagement with others. D. The improvement of conversation skills.
C
In the early 2000s, David Baker, a professor at the University of Washington, devoted himself to the field of protein design. He developed the Rosetta software, a significant breakthrough at that time. However, accurately predicting protein structures remained a huge challenge. The complex structures of proteins, determined by amino acid sequences, held countless secrets that had eluded scientists for decades, and unlocking them was the key to understanding life at a molecular level.
In 2016, at DeepMind, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper decided to tackle this problem. They assembled a team of brilliant minds and set out to develop an AI model for protein structure prediction. They analyzed massive volumes of protein data, studied how amino acids vary across homologous proteins of different species, and integrated evolutionary information into the model. After years of painstaking efforts and countless experiments, they finally developed the AlphaFold2 model in 2020.
AlphaFold2 was revolutionary. It could predict the structures of almost all the 200 million known proteins with remarkable accuracy. Scientists around the world were amazed by its power as the work would otherwise take human beings tens of thousands of years to finish. With the help of AlphaFold2, researchers could now study antibiotic resistance (抗药性) more deeply and design enzymes (酶) that could break down plastics. By visualizing the precise architecture of proteins involved in defending bacteria, for instance, drug developers could engineer medications that outwit bacteria’s resistance strategies. And when it came to plastic-degrading enzymes, understanding their structure enabled scientists to work at their active sites for more efficient breakdown.
In 2024, the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper. Their work has not only decoded protein structures but also opened up new horizons for the fields of medicine, biotechnology and materials science.
28. What is stated about protein structure prediction in paragraph 1
A. Its advantage. B. Its side effects. C. Its research basis. D. Its significance.
29. What can be inferred about AlphaFold2
A. It was developed through numerous failures.
B. It was based on data from 200 million species.
C. It made human scientists much less important.
D. It was merely used for improving human health.
30. What does the underlined word “outwit” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Avoid. B. Overcome. C. Explore. D. Strengthen.
31. What is the article mainly about
A. David Baker’s great contribution to Rosetta software.
B. AI’s wide application in medicine and materials science.
C. Scientists’ efforts and breakthroughs in protein analysis.
D. The marketing of AlphaFold2 in different scientific fields.
D
Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in research. So, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U. S. roads today
“The answer is simple: economics,’ Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fueling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead.
A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’ s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U. S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
“Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range, fueling time or heavy loads.
The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U. S.is not a reason to“just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, noting that geopolitical issues could prevent access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.
32. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U. S. roads today
A. Lack of public awareness. B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel.
C. Limited research and development. D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure.
33. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Confused.
34. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage
A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles.
B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fueling time.
C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics.
D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation.
35. What would be the best title to this passage
A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era
B. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising
C. Why Are We Not Driving Electric Powered Cars
D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fueling Station

I hated writing growing up. But I couldn’t avoid it: learning English was a must in high school. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorganized thoughts into fluent sentences. I tried my best but my teachers would return my papers littered with red. I was upset to no end. ____36____. And that was OK. I didn’t have to do well in everything.
____37____. I liked it because objective truth could be found if I searched properly.

However, the joy was short-lived as I had to write a research paper about our findings.
I knew that if I wanted to become an academic, I would need to spend time writing papers. But with my awful track record with writing, I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. ____38____.
Before I could give up in defeat, though, the graduate student explained those red marks didn’t mean I was a bad writer. ____39____. It requires revising your work, often several times. I kept improving the outline of my paper, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs. My initial draft wasn’t perfect. I had buried a few key takeaways, and the introduction was missing important context. But with help, I finally made it.
From then on, writing became one of my favorite parts of research. ____40____, but I changed my view. All it took was some trial and error.
A. “Not again,” I screamed inside
B. I should view it in a positive way
C. Maybe I wasn’t good at writing
D. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing
E. I soon realized writing was my strength
F. I switched to the world of math and science
G. I had never imagined it in my wildest dreams

When I was four, my seven-year-old brother received a baseball glove for his birthday. Every night. as we went to sleep.

Anyone interested, sign up at the community service center.” I cut it out and set it on the kitchen table, Could I After all these years

Since my husband worked Monday nights, I arranged for a babysitter. It was a luxury (奢侈) but, at that moment in my life, a necessity.
On Monday, heart pounding, I walked through the park filled with women of all ages practicing. It took me a while to find my team. They were all high-school girls, seventeen and eighteen years old! I waited a couple of minutes before approaching the coach. He had put together top athletes for his team, and he didn’t want some old lady messing things up. He looked me over. His girls had fine gloves and metal cleats (棒球钉鞋). They looked like players. I had no glove and wore an old T-shirt and gym shoes. I didn’t care. I wanted to play. That first day, he had me run bases (跑垒). I never got a chance to bat or play the field. I just ran bases all night. The next morning, I could hardly stand.

原文：M: Today’s show begins in South America, where a deadly natural disaster has hit the nation of Colombia. It started with heavy rain on Friday night. That caused three rivers around the city of Mocoa, which is located in the southwestern part of Colombia, to overflow.
The flooding washed a stream of mud into Mocoa. Many people were sleeping when the disaster struck. People said it moved so fast that they had to run for their lives.
Colombian officials say more than 200 people were killed, hundreds more injured, and more than 100 people still missing. Colombia’s president expects those numbers to rise as rescuers search for survivors. More than 1,000 soldiers and police officers have been involved in the rescue effort.
They report that 80 percent of the roads in the area are damaged. So it is hard to reach people who might be trapped. Rescuers are racing against the clock to save lives.

I remember when I started telling people about my upcoming solo (独自的) travel to Mongolia, I was met with surprise and often confusion. My manager at the time gave me a funny look and warned me against going there. I didn’t panic. I’d done my research. Mongolia wasn’t as dangerous as people thought — in fact, it’s far safer than a lot of more frequented countries, like South America.
The thing about Mongolia is… no one has been there. I don’t know a single other person in my life who has been there. Except for the friends I made while I was there.
That’s the thing about solo travel — you don’t technically have to do it alone. Since Mongolia held some risks to it and is considered one of the most remote regions in the world, I decided to join a small-group tour.
I admit I was a little nervous. Looking up past trips on this company’s website, it looked like it was a whole bunch of couples that frequented these tours. I started picturing six couples, enjoying a Mongolian sunset… and then little old me. Just off to the side, enjoying it on my own.
When I arrived in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, and met the rest of the tour, I was both surprised and thrilled to realise that, of the ten people on tour, there was only one pair. Everybody else was there on their own. And instead of sitting off to the side like I’d feared, I’d been tent-paired with a lovely young American girl called Annie. On what other occasions might I have met her if not for this solo trip The decision to travel solo, to not let the fact that I didn’t have a travel companion stop me, was what brought us together.
And that’s the beauty of travelling solo. When I’m alone, I’m more likely to branch out and talk to the locals and strangers, even if there’s a language barrier. And, in my experience, most people are good people. Start up a conversation, ask questions, and be curious. Most importantly: don’t be a tourist. Be a traveller.
24. What does the author say about Mongolia
A. It is hardly accessible. B. It is suitable for solo travel.
C. It is a popular destination. D. It is safer than people think.
25. Why was the author nervous about the small-group tour
A. She feared being left out. B. She feared being too old to bond.
C. She was unsure of the risks ahead. D. She was unfamiliar with such tours.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Annie
A. To illustrate a benefit of solo travel.
B. To show the friendliness of the small-group.
C. To stress the growing popularity of solo travel.
D. To explain the importance of cooperation in travel.
27. According to the author, what is most attractive about solo travel
A. The thrill of self-discovery. B. The freedom of being alone.
C. The authentic engagement with others. D. The improvement of conversation skills.

In the early 2000s, David Baker, a professor at the University of Washington, devoted himself to the field of protein design. He developed the Rosetta software, a significant breakthrough at that time. However, accurately predicting protein structures remained a huge challenge. The complex structures of proteins, determined by amino acid sequences, held countless secrets that had eluded scientists for decades, and unlocking them was the key to understanding life at a molecular level.
In 2016, at DeepMind, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper decided to tackle this problem. They assembled a team of brilliant minds and set out to develop an AI model for protein structure prediction. They analyzed massive volumes of protein data, studied how amino acids vary across homologous proteins of different species, and integrated evolutionary information into the model. After years of painstaking efforts and countless experiments, they finally developed the AlphaFold2 model in 2020.
AlphaFold2 was revolutionary. It could predict the structures of almost all the 200 million known proteins with remarkable accuracy. Scientists around the world were amazed by its power as the work would otherwise take human beings tens of thousands of years to finish. With the help of AlphaFold2, researchers could now study antibiotic resistance (抗药性) more deeply and design enzymes (酶) that could break down plastics. By visualizing the precise architecture of proteins involved in defending bacteria, for instance, drug developers could engineer medications that outwit bacteria’s resistance strategies. And when it came to plastic-degrading enzymes, understanding their structure enabled scientists to work at their active sites for more efficient breakdown.
In 2024, the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper. Their work has not only decoded protein structures but also opened up new horizons for the fields of medicine, biotechnology and materials science.
28. What is stated about protein structure prediction in paragraph 1
A. Its advantage. B. Its side effects. C. Its research basis. D. Its significance.
29. What can be inferred about AlphaFold2
A. It was developed through numerous failures.
B. It was based on data from 200 million species.
C. It made human scientists much less important.
D. It was merely used for improving human health.
30. What does the underlined word “outwit” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Avoid. B. Overcome. C. Explore. D. Strengthen.
31. What is the article mainly about
A. David Baker’s great contribution to Rosetta software.
B. AI’s wide application in medicine and materials science.
C. Scientists’ efforts and breakthroughs in protein analysis.
D. The marketing of AlphaFold2 in different scientific fields.

Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in research. So, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U. S. roads today
“The answer is simple: economics,’ Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fueling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead.
A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’ s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U. S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
“Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range, fueling time or heavy loads.
The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U. S.is not a reason to“just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, noting that geopolitical issues could prevent access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.
32. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U. S. roads today
A. Lack of public awareness. B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel.
C. Limited research and development. D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure.
33. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Confused.
34. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage
A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles.
B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fueling time.
C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics.
D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation.
35. What would be the best title to this passage
A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era
B. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising
C. Why Are We Not Driving Electric Powered Cars
D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fueling Station
答案：32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B

When I was four, my seven-year-old brother received a baseball glove for his birthday. Every night. as we went to sleep. I’d listen to him throwing a ball into the glove over and over to soften the leather. I wanted a glove so much that I almost cried. But, back then, girls didn’t play sports; they played with dolls (洋娃娃).
Fast-forward twenty-six years. Now a thirty-year-old mother of two boys and a girl, I happened to sec a notice in my local paper: “Women’s Baseball League opens soon. Anyone interested, sign up at the community service center.” I cut it out and set it on the kitchen table, Could I After all these years
I looked at that notice on my table every day. l thought of a thousand reasons I couldn’t play. But the idea of playing baseball stuck in my head and wouldn’t go away. Finally, 1 gathered up my courage and signed up. Since I wasn’t a member of any team, they told me I’d be assigned (分配) to one. Two weeks passed before they gave me the name of the team to look for. Since my husband worked Monday nights, I arranged for a babysitter. It was a luxury (奢侈) but, at that moment in my life, a necessity.
On Monday, heart pounding, I walked through the park filled with women of all ages practicing. It took me a while to find my team. They were all high-school girls, seventeen and eighteen years old! I waited a couple of minutes before approaching the coach. He had put together top athletes for his team, and he didn’t want some old lady messing things up. He looked me over. His girls had fine gloves and metal cleats (棒球钉鞋). They looked like players. I had no glove and wore an old T-shirt and gym shoes. I didn’t care. I wanted to play. That first day, he had me run bases (跑垒). I never got a chance to bat or play the field. I just ran bases all night. The next morning, I could hardly stand.

“Impressive catch!” my teammates cheered for my performance after the training.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案：
When I showed up the next Monday, the coach was clearly surprised. “Are you here to run bases again ” he joked. I stood tall, determined to prove myself. “Coach,” I said confidently, “I may not have the experience or the equipment, but I have the passion to learn.” The coach paused for a moment and then nodded, allowing me to join the team and giving me a borrowed glove. I caught an impossibly high ball and enjoyed a real training I desired to have for so long.
“Impressive catch!” my teammates cheered for my performance after the training. The coach, with a smile on his face, approached me and said, “You’ve got some skills. Keep pushing yourself and you’ll surprise everyone.” Their words meant the world to me. As I stepped off the field that day, I couldn’t help but feel proud of myself. I decided to reward myself for all the hard work and dedication. I would buy a baseball glove I had always longed for since I was four years old.
