Ellie Hamby, a documentary photographer, and Sandy Haze lip, a physician and lecturer, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt.
The aged grandmothers started their ambitious adventure on January 11, according to the blog the two have used to document their travels. Their first stop was a location that escapes even many seasoned travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage, the known rough waters between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica’s South Shetland Islands. “For almost two days, we were a rocking and rolling and a slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage and we were holding on for dear life,” Hamby said in an interview with CNN. “It was just wild.” “But when we stepped foot on the ground on the Antarctic, you forgot all of that,” she recalled. “The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable to see the penguins and the icebergs and the glacier — just, this was amazing.”
Since that first adventure, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents, often dressed in matching T-shirts. They’ve also accumulated (积累) a loving social media following who track the “traveling grannies” on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
Hazelip told CNN that she met Hamby after her husband died in 1999. The two bonded over their shared interest in travel and commitment to prioritizing unique experiences over comfort while abroad. Both became closer after Hamby’s husband died in 2005.
Hazelip says the idea for their trip originated a few years before they were each set to turn 80.
“I just got the idea because we had traveled previously together internationally,” she said. “And so about four years before we were going to turn 80, I mentioned to her one day, ‘Ellie, wouldn’t it be fun to go around the world in 80 days at age 80?’”
4. What can we know about Hazelip and Hamby according to the passage?
A. They started their adventure from Bali.
B. They recorded their travels on the Internet.
C. They have known each other since their youth.
D. They long to travel to all seven continents one day.
5. Which of the following best describes their journey to Antarctica?
A. Fruitless. B. Light-hearted. C. Well-planned. D. Risky.
6. What contributes to Hazelip and Hamby’s close relationship?
A. Shared love for travelling. B. The same family background.
C. Similar working experiences. D. Common interest in social media.
7. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To call on readers to travel around the world.
B. To recommend Antarctica as a great tourist destination.
C. To emphasize the importance of a companion during a trip.
D. To share a story about an aged couple’s traveling experience.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage, the known rough waters between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica’s South Shetland Islands. “For almost two days, we were a rocking and rolling and a slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage and we were holding on for dear life,” Hamby said in an interview with CNN. “It was just wild.”(要到达最南端的大陆,首先需要穿越德雷克海峡,这是南美洲南端和南极洲南设得兰群岛之间一条众所周知的波涛汹涌的水域。“在将近两天的时间里,我们在德雷克海峡中颠簸摇晃,我们拼命地坚持着,”汉比在接受 CNN 采访时说。“这真是太疯狂了。”)”可推知,南极之旅是很冒险的。故选D。
【6题详解】

C
A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species?
These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans.
Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That’s where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat.
The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound.
This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization.
8 Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2?
A. To support an idea. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To explain a problem. D. To present a suggestion.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How Rakus got injured. B. How Rakus treated his wound.
C. What Rakus ate in the wild. D. What Rakus explored in the forest.
10. What can be inferred about the new observation?
A. It proves the medical value of a plant leaf.
B. It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans.
C. It answers one of scientists’ questions about medicine.
D. It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild
B. Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate
C. A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat
D. An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了观察大猩猩用植物治疗伤口的相关研究以及发现。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans.(这些动物被认为是最聪明的非人类灵长类动物之一。人们观察到它们使用工具,进行口头交流,并参与更复杂的行为,如计算互惠,这包括帮助另一只猩猩并期望得到回报。他们甚至可以在人类的帮助下使用Skype)”可知,作者在第二段提到Skype是为了支持“大猩猩被认为是最聪明的非人类灵长类动物之一”这一个想法。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound.(研究人员在6月份注意到,拉库斯在与另一只成年雄性猩猩打架后,脸上有一个小伤口。几天后,拉库斯做了一件没人见过的灵长类动物做过的事。他开始小心翼翼地从一种叫akar kuning的藤蔓上采摘叶子。当地居民长期以来一直使用这些叶子来缓解疼痛和治疗疟疾等疾病。猩猩通常不吃这些植物;事实上,拉库斯并没有吃它们。他咀嚼它们,然后将产生的糊状物涂在脸上的伤口上)”可知,第四段的主要内容是拉库斯如何处理他的伤口。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization.(研究人员认为,早期人类可能是通过观察动物的类似行为来了解某些治疗方法的。而我们,在几千代人之后,仍然在观察和好奇他们到底有多聪明。越来越多的迹象表明,猩猩似乎离人类文明只有一步之遥)”可知,新的观察结果增加了证明猩猩智力的证据。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species?(在苏门答腊岛的一项新观察让经验丰富的科学家们大吃一惊。一只名为Rakus的猩猩用一种药用植物治疗了一个新伤口,这是第一次看到动物为了健康而使用生物活性物质。这让科学家们想知道:是人类发明了药物,还是早于我们的物种?)”结合文章主要介绍了观察大猩猩用植物治疗伤口的相关研究以及发现。可知,D选项“观察到一只猩猩将药用植物涂抹在伤口上”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Do you ever get that feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day? That time is somehow racing away from you, and it is impossible to fit everything in. But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower, more relaxed, like time has somehow changed.
It’s not just you — recent research showed nature can regulate our sense of time. For many of us, the combined demands of work, home and family mean that we are always feeling like we don’t have enough time. Time poverty has also been exacerbated by digital technologies. Permanent (长久的,永久的) online connectivity lengthens working hours and can make it harder to switch off from the demands of friends· and family.
Recent researches suggest that the cure for our lack of time may lie in the natural world which may change how we experience time. These studies consistently showed that people report a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in an urban environment. For example, people are more likely to perceive (感知) a walk in the countryside as longer than a walk of the same length in the city. Nature seems to slow and expand our sense of time.
It’s not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed but also our sense of the future. Spending time in nature helps to shift our focus from the immediate moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands on our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture. This can help us prioritise (优先处理) our actions to meet our long-term goals rather than living in a state of “just about keeping our head above water”.
Getting out into nature may sound like a simple fix, but for many people, particularly those living in urban areas, nature can be hard to access. Green infrastructure such as trees and parks in and around cities are essential to making sure the benefits of time in nature are accessible to everyone.
12. What does the underlined word “exacerbated” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Changed. B. Reflected. C. Worsened. D. Controlled.
13. How does nature change our sense of the future?.
A. By changing our focus. B. By promoting immediate actions.
C By releasing our stress. D. By reducing the demands on time.
14. According to the author, what is a solution to our lack of time?
A. Move to the countryside. B. Decrease online connectivity.
C. Get into green space in urban areas. D. Learn to refuse the unreasonable demands.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Researches reveal our poverty of time in nature.
B. Being in nature can change our perception of time.
C. Exploring nature will bring great benefits to people.
D. People tend to lead a green life in modern urban areas.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了自然如何调节我们对时间的感知,特别是在忙碌的日常生活中,自然如何帮助我们减缓时间感,并将注意力从即时需求转移到未来需求上。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后面的“Permanent (长久的,永久的) online connectivity lengthens working hours and can make it harder to switch off from the demands of friends· and family.(永久的在线连接会延长工作时间,并使其更难摆脱朋友和家人的需求。)”可知,作者明确指出了数字技术(特别是持续的在线连接)如何使工作时间变长,并使得人们更难从工作和社交需求中解脱出来。因此,划线单词所在句子“Time poverty has also been exacerbated by digital technologies.(数字技术也exacerbated 了时间贫乏)”指的是,数字技术使得人们感觉时间不够用的情况变得更加严重或恶化了。exacerbated与选项C“worsened(恶化)”意思一致。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Spending time in nature helps to shift our focus from the immediate moment towards our future needs.(花时间在大自然中有助于将我们的注意力从眼前转移到未来的需求上。)”可知,在自然中度过时间有助于我们将注意力从当前时刻转移到未来的需求上。因此,自然通过改变我们的关注点来改变我们对未来的感觉。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Recent researches suggest that the cure for our lack of time may lie in the natural world which may change how we experience time.(最近的研究表明,治愈我们缺乏时间的方法可能在于自然世界,它可能会改变我们体验时间的方式。)”可知,最近的研究表明,解决我们时间不足的方法可能在于自然界,它可能会改变我们体验时间的方式。再结合最后一段中的“Green infrastructure such as trees and parks in and around cities are essential to making sure the benefits of time in nature are accessible to everyone.(城市及其周围的树木和公园等绿色基础设施对于确保每个人都能享受大自然的好处至关重要。)”可知,作者认为进入城市地区的绿色空间是解决我们时间不足的一个方法。因此,C项“进入城市地区的绿色空间”是正确答案。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论的是自然如何改变我们对时间的感知,包括当前的时间感和未来的时间感。另外,第三段中的“Recent researches suggest that the cure for our lack of time may lie in the natural world which may change how we experience time.(最近的研究表明,治愈我们缺乏时间的方法可能在于自然世界,它可能会改变我们体验时间的方式。)”明确指出了自然可以改变我们体验时间的方式,进一步支持了文章的主题。因此,选项B“在自然中可以改变我们对时间的感知”能够概括文章主旨。故选B项。
第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you have experienced awkward situations, you’re definitely not alone. ___16___ Thus, it’s helpful to have strategies to help us deal with things as gracefully as possible. Here are my top tips for overcoming awkwardness.
___17___ Doing or saying something awkward or embarrassing can make us feel like the entire world has noticed. This is caused by a phenomenon called the Spotlight Effect, where we think people notice and remember more about our appearance and behavior than they do. Reminding yourself that “Nobody will remember this tomorrow” can help you react to an awkward moment more wisely.
Don’t take all the blame. ___18___ They’re something that you create with other people. That’s what makes them social. If you’re feeling awkward or uncomfortable, it’s easy to take all of the blame for that on yourself. Reminding yourself that you can’t control everything in a social situation can make it easier for you to forgive yourself for awkward situations.
Try to see the funny side. This is one of the most powerful tools I’ve found for overcoming awkwardness. Finding the humor in the situation lets me feel better and helps the people around me feel more comfortable. ___19___ Laughing, even at yourself, when someone’s been hurt or upset can come across as mean.
Accept the risk of awkwardness. Learning something new almost always comes with the risk of getting it wrong. This means that if you want to improve your social skills, you will probably have to deal with some awkwardness. Rather than trying to avoid all awkward situations, try to see them as part of how you learn. ___20___ In fact, being awkward can make you more likable.
A. Be kind to your past self.
B. But be careful about how you use it.
C. This is part of becoming socially skilled.
D. It’s not possible to avoid them completely.

G. Social situations are almost always a shared responsibility.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些克服尴尬的建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“If you have experienced awkward situations, you’re definitely not alone.(如果你经历过尴尬的情况,你肯定不是一个人)”可知,上文提到人人都经历过尴尬的情况,说明尴尬是无法避免的。D选项“完全避免它们是不可能的”符合语境,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Doing or saying something awkward or embarrassing can make us feel like the entire world has noticed. This is caused by a phenomenon called the Spotlight Effect, where we think people notice and remember more about our appearance and behavior than they do. Reminding yourself that “Nobody will remember this tomorrow” can help you react to an awkward moment more wisely.(做或说一些尴尬的事情会让我们觉得整个世界都注意到了。这是由一种叫做“聚光灯效应”的现象引起的,我们认为人们会注意到并记住我们的外表和行为,其实并不。提醒自己“明天没人会记得这件事”可以帮助你更明智地应对尴尬时刻)”可知,该段主要解释了人们并不会注意到你身上发生的尴尬的事情,即没人会太在意你。空处位于段首,为段落主旨句,E选项“记住,别人不会太在意你”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Don’t take all the blame.(不要承担所有的责任)”以及后文“They’re something that you create with other people. That’s what makes them social. If you’re feeling awkward or uncomfortable, it’s easy to take all of the blame for that on yourself. Reminding yourself that you can’t control everything in a social situation can make it easier for you to forgive yourself for awkward situations.(它们是你和其他人一起创造的东西。这就是他们社交的原因。如果你感到尴尬或不舒服,很容易把所有的责任都推到自己身上。提醒自己在社交场合你无法控制一切,这会让你更容易原谅自己的尴尬处境)”可知,后文提到某项东西是你和其他人一起创造的东西,空处应该有说明,G选项“社交场合几乎总是有着一个共同的责任”符合语境,下文的“They”就指的是G项的“Social situations”,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Try to see the funny side. This is one of the most powerful tools I’ve found for overcoming awkwardness. Finding the humor in the situation lets me feel better and helps the people around me feel more comfortable.(试着看到有趣的一面。这是我发现的克服尴尬的最有力的工具之一。在这种情况下找到幽默会让我感觉更好,也会让我周围的人感觉更舒服)”以及后文“Laughing, even at yourself, when someone’s been hurt or upset can come across as mean.(当别人受伤或难过时,大笑,即使是嘲笑自己,也会给人留下刻薄的印象)”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出使用幽默需要有度。B选项“但是使用的时候要小心”符合语境,故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Accept the risk of awkwardness. Learning something new almost always comes with the risk of getting it wrong. This means that if you want to improve your social skills, you will probably have to deal with some awkwardness. Rather than trying to avoid all awkward situations, try to see them as part of how you learn.(接受尴尬的风险。学习新东西几乎总是伴随着出错的风险。这意味着,如果你想提高你的社交技能,你可能不得不处理一些尴尬。不要试图避免所有尴尬的情况,试着把它们看作是你学习过程的一部分)”可知,上文提到把尴尬看作学习的一部分,C选项This is part of对应上文as part of。C选项“这是成为社交技能的一部分”符合语境,故选C。

【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:许多研究已经证明,从科学上讲,我们更容易被看起来诱人的东西吸引,而不是闻起来诱人的东西。定语从句修饰先行词something,在从句作主语,且为不定代词,只能用that引导。故填that。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:考虑到这一科学,创造和展示你的食品有吸引力的图像是必不可少的。作伴随状语,应用介词with,首字母大写,构成with+宾语+宾语补足语,复合结构。故填With。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:把食物图片放在菜单上是让顾客点餐的最好方法。名词way后跟不定式作后置定语。故填to get。
【40题详解】
考查语态。句意:这些图片可以显示在自动点餐机的描述旁边,这样顾客就能确切地知道他们点的是什么,以及它的样子。主语与谓语构成被动关系,且could后跟动词原形。故填be shown。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些图片可以显示在自动点餐机的描述旁边,这样顾客就能确切地知道他们点的是什么,以及它的样子。此处machine为泛指,且self-ordering是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。

第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 单句翻译(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
46. 在过去三年里,这位有天赋的歌手因为他的原创作品多次获奖。(现在完成时的被动;award)(汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The talented/gifted singer has been awarded several times for his original works/songs in/over the past/last 3 years.
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词、固定搭配、动词语态、名词。表示“有天赋的”用形容词talented/gifted,作前置定语,修饰名词“歌手”。表示“歌手”用singer,作主语,此处为特指,singer前用定冠词the。表示“因为……而奖励某人,因……给某人颁奖”用award sb. for,表示“在过去三年里”用固定搭配in/over the past/last 3 years,作时间状语,故句子用现在完成时,且award与The talented/gifted singer为被动关系,句子用现在完成时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,助动词用has。表示“多次”用several times。表示“作品”用work,歌手的作品就是“歌曲”song,根据“多次获奖”可知,作品或歌曲不止一个,用复数形式,作for的宾语。表示“原作的”用形容词original,作前置定语,修饰works/songs。故翻译为The talented/gifted singer has been awarded several times for his original works/songs in/over the past/last 3 years.
47. 上个月出版的这本小说获得了青少年们的积极反响。(过去分词作定语;response) (汉译英)

【答案】The novel published last month received/got a positive response/positive responses from teenagers.
The novel published last month has received/got(ten) a positive response/positive responses from teenagers.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、名词和形容词。分析句子可知,这里时态可用一般过去时,表示过去的事情,也可以用现在完成时,强调过去的动作对现在的影响。表示“上个月出版的这本小说”应用The novel published last month,其中published last month为过去分词短语,在本句中作定语,修饰前面名词;表示“获得了”可用received/got或者 has received/got(ten),在本句中作谓语;表示“青少年们的积极反响”应用a positive response/positive responses from teenagers,在本句中作宾语。故翻译为The novel published last month received/got a positive response/positive responses from teenagers.或者The novel published last month has received/got(ten) a positive response/positive responses from teenagers.
48. 尽管有很多的挑战,但是为了探索宇宙的奥秘,她决定成为一名宇航员。(不定式作目的状语; determine) (汉译英)

To explore/find out/uncover the mystery(mysteries) of space (the universe), she determined/ was determined to be an astronaut in spite of/despite many challenges.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和非谓语动词。表示“尽管有很多挑战”短语为in spite of/despite many challenges;表示“探索宇宙的奥秘”翻译为explore/find out/uncover the mystery(mysteries) of space(the universe),为不定式作目的状语;主语为she;表示“决定”短语为determine或be determined to;表示“成为一名宇航员”为be an astronaut。为一般过去时。
故翻译为In spite of/Despite many challenges, to explore/find out/uncover the mystery(mysteries) of space(the universe), she determined/ was determined to be an astronaut.
To explore/find out/uncover the mystery(mysteries) of space (the universe), she determined/ was determined to be an astronaut in spite of/despite many challenges.
49. 这个村庄被起伏的山脉包围着,创造了一幅令人惊叹的景观。(现在分词作状语;surround;roll) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The/This village is surrounded by rolling mountains/hills, creating a breathtaking/an amazing landscape/sight.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和现在分词。讲述一般性事实,时态用一般现在时,the/this village (这个村庄),be surrounded by (被……包围),rolling (起伏的),mountains/hills (山脉),create (创造)的内容是前半句造成的意料之中的结果,create用现在分词形式作状语,breathtaking (惊人的),amazing (令人大为惊奇的),landscape/sight (景观),故翻译为:The/This village is surrounded by rolling mountains/hills, creating a breathtaking/an amazing landscape/sight.
50. 他发现自己一整个早上都在上网冲浪和查看信息。(find+宾语+宾补;surf) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He found himself surfing online/the internet and checking/ reading messages the whole morning(all the morning).
【解析】
【详解】考查固定结构和时态。主语为he;表示“发现……”为find+宾语+宾补;宾语为himself;表示“上网冲浪”为surfing online/the internet;表示“查看信息”为checking/ reading messages,为现在分词作宾补;表示“一整个早上”短语为the whole morning或all the morning。为一般过去时。故翻译为He found himself surfing online/the internet and checking/ reading messages the whole morning(all the morning).

Ellie Hamby, a documentary photographer, and Sandy Haze lip, a physician and lecturer, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt.
The aged grandmothers started their ambitious adventure on January 11, according to the blog the two have used to document their travels. Their first stop was a location that escapes even many seasoned travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage, the known rough waters between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica’s South Shetland Islands. “For almost two days, we were a rocking and rolling and a slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage and we were holding on for dear life,” Hamby said in an interview with CNN. “It was just wild.” “But when we stepped foot on the ground on the Antarctic, you forgot all of that,” she recalled. “The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable to see the penguins and the icebergs and the glacier — just, this was amazing.”
Since that first adventure, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents, often dressed in matching T-shirts. They’ve also accumulated (积累) a loving social media following who track the “traveling grannies” on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
Hazelip told CNN that she met Hamby after her husband died in 1999. The two bonded over their shared interest in travel and commitment to prioritizing unique experiences over comfort while abroad. Both became closer after Hamby’s husband died in 2005.
Hazelip says the idea for their trip originated a few years before they were each set to turn 80.
“I just got the idea because we had traveled previously together internationally,” she said. “And so about four years before we were going to turn 80, I mentioned to her one day, ‘Ellie, wouldn’t it be fun to go around the world in 80 days at age 80?’”
4 What can we know about Hazelip and Hamby according to the passage?
A. They started their adventure from Bali.
B. They recorded their travels on the Internet.
C. They have known each other since their youth.
D. They long to travel to all seven continents one day.
5. Which of the following best describes their journey to Antarctica?
A. Fruitless. B. Light-hearted. C. Well-planned. D. Risky.
6. What contributes to Hazelip and Hamby’s close relationship?
A. Shared love for travelling. B. The same family background.
C. Similar working experiences. D. Common interest in social media.
7. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To call on readers to travel around the world.
B To recommend Antarctica as a great tourist destination.
C. To emphasize the importance of a companion during a trip.
D. To share a story about an aged couple’s traveling experience.
C
A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species?
These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans.
Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That’s where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat.
The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound.
This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization.
8. Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2?
A. To support an idea. B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To explain a problem. D. To present a suggestion.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How Rakus got injured. B. How Rakus treated his wound.
C. What Rakus ate in the wild. D. What Rakus explored in the forest.
10. What can be inferred about the new observation?
A It proves the medical value of a plant leaf.
B. It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans.
C. It answers one of scientists’ questions about medicine.
D. It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild
B. Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate
C. A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat
D. An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound
D
Do you ever get that feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day? That time is somehow racing away from you, and it is impossible to fit everything in. But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower, more relaxed, like time has somehow changed.
It’s not just you — recent research showed nature can regulate our sense of time. For many of us, the combined demands of work, home and family mean that we are always feeling like we don’t have enough time. Time poverty has also been exacerbated by digital technologies. Permanent (长久的,永久的) online connectivity lengthens working hours and can make it harder to switch off from the demands of friends· and family.
Recent researches suggest that the cure for our lack of time may lie in the natural world which may change how we experience time. These studies consistently showed that people report a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in an urban environment. For example, people are more likely to perceive (感知) a walk in the countryside as longer than a walk of the same length in the city. Nature seems to slow and expand our sense of time.
It’s not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed but also our sense of the future. Spending time in nature helps to shift our focus from the immediate moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands on our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture. This can help us prioritise (优先处理) our actions to meet our long-term goals rather than living in a state of “just about keeping our head above water”.
Getting out into nature may sound like a simple fix but for many people, particularly those living in urban areas, nature can be hard to access. Green infrastructure such as trees and parks in and around cities are essential to making sure the benefits of time in nature are accessible to everyone.
12. What does the underlined word “exacerbated” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Changed. B. Reflected. C. Worsened. D. Controlled.
13. How does nature change our sense of the future?.
A. By changing our focus. B. By promoting immediate actions.
C. By releasing our stress. D. By reducing the demands on time.
14. According to the author, what is a solution to our lack of time?
A. Move to the countryside. B. Decrease online connectivity.
C. Get into green space in urban areas. D. Learn to refuse the unreasonable demands.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Researches reveal our poverty of time in nature.
B. Being in nature can change our perception of time.
C. Exploring nature will bring great benefits to people.
D. People tend to lead a green life in modern urban areas.

If you have experienced awkward situations, you’re definitely not alone. ___16___ Thus, it’s helpful to have strategies to help us deal with things as gracefully as possible. Here are my top tips for overcoming awkwardness.
___17___ Doing or saying something awkward or embarrassing can make us feel like the entire world has noticed. This is caused by a phenomenon called the Spotlight Effect, where we think people notice and remember more about our appearance and behavior than they do. Reminding yourself that “Nobody will remember this tomorrow” can help you react to an awkward moment more wisely.
Don’t take all the blame. ___18___ They’re something that you create with other people. That’s what makes them social. If you’re feeling awkward or uncomfortable, it’s easy to take all of the blame for that on yourself. Reminding yourself that you can’t control everything in a social situation can make it easier for you to forgive yourself for awkward situations.
Try to see the funny side. This is one of the most powerful tools I’ve found for overcoming awkwardness. Finding the humor in the situation lets me feel better and helps the people around me feel more comfortable. ___19___ Laughing, even at yourself, when someone’s been hurt or upset can come across as mean.
Accept the risk of awkwardness. Learning something new almost always comes with the risk of getting it wrong. This means that if you want to improve your social skills, you will probably have to deal with some awkwardness. Rather than trying to avoid all awkward situations, try to see them as part of how you learn. ___20___ In fact, being awkward can make you more likable.
A. Be kind to your past self.
B. But be careful about how you use it.
C. This is part of becoming socially skilled.
D. It’s not possible to avoid them completely.
