Let’s learn about the rise and fall of dynasties in the folds of the Great Wall, trace imperial genes in the structure of the Forbidden City, feel the echoes of ancient battles among the Terracotta Warriors, wander through the natural wonders of Zhangjiajie and Guilin, surf down Yangtze River’s currents into the cyberpunk skyline of Shanghai, and capture the pulse of the future technologies. While other group tours follow the beaten path, we’ll go beyond the checklist for hidden gems and exclusive experiences: encounter giant pandas in their hometown, explore the secret lands of Tibet, connect with local families and communities, witness traditional crafts and performances, and savor special food delights. Ready to start? Know the extra features before booking: √Genuine Small Group: Max 18 guests, ensuring comfortable social space and personalized attention from the guide. Avoid misleading “small” groups of 30 or more. √Transparent (透明的) Pricing: All-inclusive and cost-effective, no hidden fees, and no shopping traps. √Approved Brand Hotels: 5-star and 4-star luxury hotels with ideal downtown locations and clear hotel names — no unclear descriptions of “similar hotels” or bait-and-switch strategies √Flexibility: Year-round weekly departures, plus flexible booking and cancellation (取消) policies. 1.

(当其他团体旅游遵循人迹罕至的道路时，我们将超越隐藏的宝石和独特体验的清单：在家乡遇到大熊猫，探索西藏的秘密土地，与当地家庭和社区联系，见证传统工艺和表演，品尝特别的美食。)”可知，游客在小团游期间可以品尝独特的当地美食。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“√Approved Brand Hotels: 5-star and 4-star luxury hotels with ideal downtown locations and clear hotel names — no unclear descriptions of “similar hotels” or bait-and-switch strategies. (√认可的品牌酒店：位于市中心理想位置的五星级和四星级豪华酒店，酒店名称明确——没有“类似酒店”或“诱饵调包”策略的不明确描述。)”可知，小团游的额外福利包括入住豪华酒店。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“√Transparent (透明的) Pricing: All-inclusive and cost-effective, no hidden fees, and no shopping traps.

The Last Repair Shop explores the world of this unique place — the last remaining American workshop that repairs musical instruments for public school children. This touching documentary takes us inside the workshop, introducing us to the dedicated workers there. There’s Steve Bagmanyan, who carefully breathes life back into dented (凹陷的) brass instruments. Boris Karloff fixes violins that have witnessed countless childhood dreams. Dana Atkinson, a woman working in a mostly male field, knows a lot about woodwind instruments. And Duane Michaels, a former music teacher, understands firsthand how significant these instruments are for students, ensuring each one is in perfect condition when returned. Through interviews with the workers and the sounds of tools and instruments being fixed, The Last Repair Shop paints a picture of the transformative power of music in children’s lives. A repaired instrument is more than just a fixed object — it can be a path to creativity, a source of comfort, and even an escape from tough situations. For many public school students, especially those from underfunded (资金不足的) communities, access to musical instruments can be life-changing. By repairing these instruments, the workshop helps bridge the opportunity gap, ensuring that all children, regardless of economic background, have the chance to experience the joy of music. The documentary also highlights how these instruments inspire students, shaping their futures. Many young musicians discover confidence, purpose, and even career paths through school music programs. Without workshops like this one, countless students might never have the chance to explore their talents. The Last Repair Shop is a heartwarming celebration of music and human connection, reminding us of the magic that unfolds when we invest in the arts and empower young minds. Beyond that, it highlights the importance of preserving fading craftsmanship in an age of mass-produced and disposable (一次性的) goods. 4. What is special about the workshop introduced in the documentary? A. The free repair services for students. B. The special location in the city center. C. The only American workshop of its kind. D. The guidance from professional musicians. 5. What do we know about the workers? A. They used to be music teachers. B. They have great talents in music. C. They can all fix various instruments. D.

Boris Karloff fixes violins that have witnessed countless childhood dreams. Dana Atkinson, a woman working in a mostly male field, knows a lot about woodwind instruments. And Duane Michaels, a former music teacher, understands firsthand how significant these instruments are for students, ensuring each one is in perfect condition when returned.

However, many families believe that involving their children in how the family’s finances are handled is taboo. Financial planners, however, believe that involving children in financial matters is actually the best way to begin educating them. “By keeping children away from financial discussions, you are really denying them an education,” says Joseph Oakley, host of the Enjoy More 30s podcast (播客) and a certified financial planner. “You’re denying them a framework to build upon.” Oakley notes that children will finally develop their own financial mindset, which could be influenced by what they see on television, social media, or through their friends. When they get their first job, they’ll likely lack experience in handling finances because they don’t know enough about managing their money. According to Oakley, it is up to parents to teach them how to develop those skills. Learning financial responsibility doesn’t have to be formal, Oakley says. Instead, it can be about showing children how to handle everyday money tasks, like paying bills online or using credit cards wisely. Another example is teaching them about spending now or saving for later, such as saving money for a vacation. While childhood financial education is crucial, Oakley reveals a systemic imbalance: Over 80% of financial resources serve people preparing for retirement because that’s where most of the assets (资产) are. He stresses the importance of working with a financial planner when you are a young adult because waiting to speak to someone when you’re close to retirement could affect your financial plans. He says it is easier for younger people to make life-changing decisions and adjust their paths.

What do many parents think of involving children in family financial matters? A. It is a good way to educate children. B. It is something that should be avoided. C. It is an important life skill to develop. D. It is schools that shall take full responsibility. 9. What’s the impact on children if they are kept out of financial discussions according to Oakley? A. Developing a good financial mindset. B. Lacking necessary life-planning skills. C. Tending to be financially inexperienced. D. Getting well-prepared for their first job. 10. What is Oakley’s advice on parents' educating children about finances? A. Figure out schools’ duties. B. Make financial plans for children. C. Attach importance to formal instructions. D. Offer real-life examples for informal education. 11. What is the purpose of mentioning the podcast K12 On Learning? A. To promote a new book by Joseph Oakley. B. To discuss the guidelines of financial goal-setting. C. To criticize existing financial education podcasts. D. To allow listeners easy access to Oakley’s advice. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。理财规划师Oakley指出家长应通过生活实例对孩子进行理财教育，且年轻人需早做财务规划。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段“However, many families believe that involving their children in how the family’s finances are handled is taboo.(然而，许多家庭认为让孩子参与家庭财务管理是禁忌。)”可知，家长认为应避免让孩子接触家庭财务。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段“When they get their first job, they’ll likely lack experience in handling finances because they don’t know enough about managing their money.(当他们找到第一份工作时，可能缺乏理财经验，因为他们对资金管理了解不足。)”可知，Oakley认为不让孩子参与财务讨论会导致其缺乏理财经验，C项“financially inexperienced”与引文“lack experience in handling finances”同义。故选C项。 10题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段“Learning financial responsibility doesn’t have to be formal, Oakley says. Instead, it can be about showing children how to handle everyday money tasks, like paying bills online or using credit cards wisely.(Oakley说，学习财务责任不一定是正式的。相反，它可以向孩子们展示如何处理日常的金钱任务，比如在线支付账单或明智地使用信用卡。)”可知，Oakley建议通过生活实例进行非正式教育。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。 根据末段“To hear more financial advice from Joseph Oakley on other topics, like how to set the right goals for financial success, check out our podcast K12 On Learning, available wherever you download your podcasts.(要听取Joseph Oakley关于其他主题的更多财务建议，例如如何为财务成功设定正确的目标，请查看我们的播客K12 on Learning，您可以在下载播客的任何地方找到。)”可知，提及该播客的目的是让听众方便获取建议。故选D项。 D Since the Apollo missions began, space programs have offered a unique perspective on our home planet. Its most fascinating legacy may have been, not visiting the moon—the barren world that is our planetary companion, but giving us a view of the bounteous (富饶) world that is our home. The Apollo missions, which concluded in 1972, occurred alongside the birth of the modern environmental movement—the founding of Friends of the Earth in 1969 and Greenpeace in 1971, the first Earth Day in 1970, among other important events—and the sight of Earth from space offered inspiration and motivation. When Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders snapped a photograph of Earth, partially in shadow, rising above the moon’s surface in 1968, he provided the clearest image yet seen of our world and its fragility (脆弱) in space. Many years later, photographer Galen Rowell described “Earthrise” as “the most influential environmental photograph ever taken.” “Earthrise” was followed by “Blue Marble”, a view of the Earth taken from the Apollo 17 spacecraft in 1972. That was the last of the Apollo moon missions, but NASA’s space exploration continued to take longing glances back toward their home world. In 1989, NASA formalized a Mission to Planet Earth, in which examining the third planet from the sun was no longer incidental to its work but central to it. In the three decades since then, the agency’s Earth Science program observation has expanded along with both the technological ability and the growing necessity to do so. NASA and partners such as the European Space Agency (ESA) have compiled an ever-growing image library of our own planet. The images reveal how Earth is transformed by land use, human activities, weather phenomena and climate changes. The thousands upon thousands of images reveal moments in time and seemingly timeless vistas, of our world up close and from afar. As Anders himself observed, 50 years after his first “Earthrise” image was released, “We set out to explore the moon, and instead discovered the Earth.” 12. What is viewed as the biggest achievement of the Apollo missions? A. Landing humans on the moon for the first time. B. Showing the Earth’s beauty and fragile nature. C. Inspiring mankind’s desire for more spacewalks. D. Making technological advances in space exploration. 13. What does the “Earthrise” photo symbolize according to the text? A. The end of the Apollo moon missions. B. The limitations of early space photography. C. The urgency of protecting Earth’s environment. D. The change of NASA’s focus on studying Earth. 14. What was the chief goal of NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth? A. To establish partnerships with ESA. B. To explore new planets in the solar system. C. To develop advanced spacecraft technology. D. To study Earth’s environment and changes. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Changing View of Earth from Space: Photos & Images B. The Impact of Space Exploration: A Fascinating Argument C. NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth: A Scientific Revolution D. The Moon Landing: Humans’ Greatest Achievement 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述阿波罗任务最大遗产是从太空展现地球美丽与脆弱，相关影像推动对地球环境变化的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段“Its most fascinating legacy may have been, not visiting the moon—the barren world that is our planetary companion, but giving us a view of the bounteous (富饶的) world that is our home.(其最迷人的遗产或许并非访问月球 —— 那个贫瘠的行星伴侣，而是让我们看到我们的家园——这个富饶的世界)”及第三段“he provided the clearest image yet seen of our world and its fragility in space.(他提供了迄今为止最清晰的地球图像，展现了其在太空中的脆弱性)”可知，阿波罗任务的最大成就在于展示地球的美丽与脆弱。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段“Galen Rowell described ‘Earthrise’ as ‘the most influential environmental photograph ever taken.’(盖伦・罗威尔称《Earthrise》为‘有史以来最具影响力的环保照片’。)”及第二段“the sight of Earth from space offered inspiration and motivation(从太空看到地球的景象提供了灵感和动力)”可推知，该照片象征着保护地球环境的紧迫性。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段“In 1989, NASA formalized a Mission to Planet Earth, in which examining the third planet from the sun was no longer incidental to its work but central to it. (1989年，美国国家航空航天局正式确定了一项行星地球任务，在该任务中，检查距离太阳第三颗行星不再是其工作的附带任务，而是其核心任务)”及第五段“The images reveal how Earth is transformed by land use, human activities, weather phenomena and climate changes.(这些图像揭示了土地利用、人类活动、天气现象和气候变化是如何改变地球的)”可知，该任务的主要目标是研究地球环境与变化。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章以阿波罗任务拍摄的《Earthrise》、《Blue Marble》等太空照片为线索，阐述太空观测如何揭示地球的脆弱性及环境变化，末段强调“thousands upon thousands of images reveal moments in time and seemingly timeless vistas(成千上万的图像揭示了不同时刻和看似永恒的景象)”。所以A项The Changing View of Earth from Space: Photos & Images(从太空看地球的变化：照片和图像)准确概括了“太空视角下地球图像及其影响”的主题，可以作为最佳标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The digital divide means some people have the internet and technology, while others don’t.

The story follows a farmer whose horse runs away. When neighbors call it bad luck, he simply shrugs and says, “Maybe”. Guess what? The horse returns with a herd of wild horses! However, when congratulated on his “good luck”, the farmer just says “Maybe” again. Then his son breaks a leg while taming the horses. Bad luck? “Maybe”—the apparent tragedy ultimately spares the young man from being drafted into war. Perfectly, this fable reveals how life events are interconnected—what seems fortunate may bring misfortune, and vice versa. For me, this philosophy has become my life compass. It perfectly illustrates the Chinese wisdom of viewing failures objectively. Failed exam? Maybe it’s motivation to improve. Good opportunity? Maybe it demands greater efforts. Hence, blessings and misfortunes are constantly transforming. With this wisdom, I keep calm optimism while navigating life`s ups and downs. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生以“My Favourite Chinese Fable”为题, 写一篇短文投稿参加你校英文报正在举办“用英语讲好中国故事”的主题征文活动。其内容包括：简述寓言故事和阐明你的感悟。 【详解】1.词汇积累 仅仅：simply→only 然而：however→nevertheless 最终：ultimately→eventually 机会：opportunity→chance 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：For me, this philosophy has become my life compass.

Let’s learn about the rise and fall of dynasties in the folds of the Great Wall, trace imperial genes in the structure of the Forbidden City, feel the echoes of ancient battles among the Terracotta Warriors, wander through the natural wonders of Zhangjiajie and Guilin, surf down Yangtze River’s currents into the cyberpunk skyline of Shanghai, and capture the pulse of the future technologies.

The Last Repair Shop explores the world of this unique place — the last remaining American workshop that repairs musical instruments for public school children. This touching documentary takes us inside the workshop, introducing us to the dedicated workers there. There’s Steve Bagmanyan, who carefully breathes life back into dented (凹陷的) brass instruments. Boris Karloff fixes violins that have witnessed countless childhood dreams. Dana Atkinson, a woman working in a mostly male field, knows a lot about woodwind instruments. And Duane Michaels, a former music teacher, understands firsthand how significant these instruments are for students, ensuring each one is in perfect condition when returned. Through interviews with the workers and the sounds of tools and instruments being fixed, The Last Repair Shop paints a picture of the transformative power of music in children’s lives. A repaired instrument is more than just a fixed object — it can be a path to creativity, a source of comfort, and even an escape from tough situations. For many public school students, especially those from underfunded (资金不足的) communities, access to musical instruments can be life-changing. By repairing these instruments, the workshop helps bridge the opportunity gap, ensuring that all children, regardless of economic background, have the chance to experience the joy of music. The documentary also highlights how these instruments inspire students, shaping their futures. Many young musicians discover confidence, purpose, and even career paths through school music programs. Without workshops like this one, countless students might never have the chance to explore their talents. The Last Repair Shop is a heartwarming celebration of music and human connection, reminding us of the magic that unfolds when we invest in the arts and empower young minds. Beyond that, it highlights the importance of preserving fading craftsmanship in an age of mass-produced and disposable (一次性的) goods. 4. What is special about the workshop introduced in the documentary? A. The free repair services for students. B. The special location in the city center. C The only American workshop of its kind. D. The guidance from professional musicians. 5. What do we know about the workers? A. They used to be music teachers. B. They have great talents in music. C. They can all fix various instruments. D. They are professional and devoted to the job. 6. How does a repaired instrument impact the children’s life? A. It helps reshape children’s lives. B. It provides a way to escape from school. C. It satisfies their demands for entertainment. D. It enables them to develop creativity and trust. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe a fading art form in America. B. To show the process of fixing musical instruments. C. To illustrate students’ difficulties in learning music. D. To introduce a documentary and its meaningful message. C Financial education is not often taught to students in school, so the responsibility falls to the parents. However, many families believe that involving their children in how the family’s finances are handled is taboo. Financial planners, however, believe that involving children in financial matters is actually the best way to begin educating them. “By keeping children away from financial discussions you are really denying them an education,” says Joseph Oakley, host of the Enjoy More 30s podcast (播客) and a certified financial planner. “You’re denying them a framework to build upon.” Oakley notes that children will finally develop their own financial mindset, which could be influenced by what they see on television, social media, or through their friends. When they get their first job, they’ll likely lack experience in handling finances because they don’t know enough about managing their money. According to Oakley, it is up to parents to teach them how to develop those skills. Learning financial responsibility doesn’t have to be formal, Oakley says. Instead, it can be about showing children how to handle everyday money tasks, like paying bills online or using credit cards wisely. Another example is teaching them about spending now or saving for later, such as saving money for a vacation. While childhood financial education is crucial, Oakley reveals a systemic imbalance: Over 80% of financial resources serve people preparing for retirement because that’s where most of the assets (资产) are. He stresses the importance of working with a financial planner when you are a young adult because waiting to speak to someone when you’re close to retirement could affect your financial plans. He says it is easier for younger people to make life-changing decisions and adjust their paths.

What do many parents think of involving children in family financial matters? A. It is a good way to educate children. B. It is something that should be avoided. C. It is an important life skill to develop. D. It is schools that shall take full responsibility. 9. What’s the impact on children if they are kept out of financial discussions according to Oakley? A. Developing a good financial mindset. B. Lacking necessary life-planning skills. C. Tending to be financially inexperienced. D. Getting well-prepared for their first job. 10. What is Oakley’s advice on parents' educating children about finances? A. Figure out schools’ duties. B. Make financial plans for children. C. Attach importance to formal instructions. D. Offer real-life examples for informal education. 11. What is the purpose of mentioning the podcast K12 On Learning? A. To promote a new book by Joseph Oakley. B. To discuss the guidelines of financial goal-setting. C. To criticize existing financial education podcasts. D To allow listeners easy access to Oakley’s advice. D Since the Apollo missions began, space programs have offered a unique perspective on our home planet. Its most fascinating legacy may have been, not visiting the moon—the barren world that is our planetary companion, but giving us a view of the bounteous (富饶的) world that is our home. The Apollo missions, which concluded in 1972, occurred alongside the birth of the modern environmental movement—the founding of Friends of the Earth in 1969 and Greenpeace in 1971, the first Earth Day in 1970, among other important events—and the sight of Earth from space offered inspiration and motivation. When Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders snapped a photograph of Earth, partially in shadow, rising above the moon’s surface in 1968, he provided the clearest image yet seen of our world and its fragility (脆弱) in space. Many years later, photographer Galen Rowell described “Earthrise” as “the most influential environmental photograph ever taken.” “Earthrise” was followed by “Blue Marble”, a view of the Earth taken from the Apollo 17 spacecraft in 1972. That was the last of the Apollo moon missions, but NASA’s space exploration continued to take longing glances back toward their home world. In 1989, NASA formalized a Mission to Planet Earth, in which examining the third planet from the sun was no longer incidental to its work but central to it. In the three decades since then, the agency’s Earth Science program observation has expanded along with both the technological ability and the growing necessity to do so. NASA and partners such as the European Space Agency (ESA) have compiled an ever-growing image library of our own planet. The images reveal how Earth is transformed by land use, human activities, weather phenomena and climate changes. The thousands upon thousands of images reveal moments in time and seemingly timeless vistas, of our world up close and from afar. As Anders himself observed, 50 years after his first “Earthrise” image was released, “We set out to explore the moon, and instead discovered the Earth.” 12. What is viewed as the biggest achievement of the Apollo missions? A. Landing humans on the moon for the first time. B. Showing the Earth’s beauty and fragile nature. C. Inspiring mankind’s desire for more spacewalks. D. Making technological advances in space exploration. 13. What does the “Earthrise” photo symbolize according to the text? A. The end of the Apollo moon missions. B. The limitations of early space photography. C. The urgency of protecting Earth’s environment. D. The change of NASA’s focus on studying Earth. 14. What was the chief goal of NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth? A. To establish partnerships with ESA. B. To explore new planets in the solar system. C. To develop advanced spacecraft technology. D. To study Earth’s environment and changes. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Changing View of Earth from Space: Photos & Images B. The Impact of Space Exploration: A Fascinating Argument C. NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth: A Scientific Revolution D. The Moon Landing: Humans’ Greatest Achievement 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The digital divide means some people have the internet and technology, while others don’t. In the UK, 8 million people don’t use the internet. ____16____ As more things like banking and shopping go online, this gap makes inequality worse. The internet can help a lot.
