Hikers will love the many trails in Sairam-Ugam National Park, uncrowded by tourists. Visit Shymkent, known for some of the country’s best food, or see Almaty, the old capital, for Kazakhstan’s Soviet heritage. Vanuatu With fewer than 45,000 tourists a year, Vanuatu is a largely untouched island escape, surrounded by jungle, edged with deserted beaches, dotted with volcanoes and laced with scenic trails. But the best reason to visit is to experience the rich heritage and diverse cultures of the Ni-Vanuatu (Melanesian people of Vanuatu). Laos Take a ride on Laos newly-launched, high-speed international rail connecting its tranquil mountainous plains with China’s bustling southwestern Yunnan Province. Travelers now have an affordable, efficient and sustainable way to cross the region's best, yet relatively unseen, cultural and natural wonders and ancient cities. This is a quieter side of Asia less visited by foreign tourists. Paraguay In the heart of South America, uncrowded Paraguay filled with life of all sorts and has a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. There’s plenty to see. Visit the Chaco forest (with jaguars and giant anteaters (食蚁兽) roaming around) or go to picturesque villages and splendid waterfalls. Be sure to tour the European architecture of the charming capital, Asunción. 21. What can people do in Sairam-Ugam National Park? A. Visiting active volcanoes B. Riding international rail C. Hiking scenic trails D. Meeting unseen wildlife 22. Which destination is the best choice for an oceanview enthusiast? A. Kazakhstan B. Vanuatu C. Laos D. Paraguay 23. What do these four destinations have in common? A. They offer people cultural experiences. B. People can avoid spending a fortune. C. They offer people urban adventures. D. People can avoid masses of tourists. B Jane Goodall, a renowned British primatologist (灵长类动物学家), revolutionized our understanding of chimpanzees and their behavior through her groundbreaking work in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. Her journey began in 1960 when she arrived in Gombe, firstly feeling like an outsider among the chimpanzees. However, her persistence paid off when she encountered David Greybeard, a chimpanzee who trusted her and led her to a fact that no one had ever discovered — chimpanzees were capable of making and using tools. This finding challenged the common belief that only humans had rational thought and tool-making abilities. Due to a lack of formal university training, Goodall’s unprejudiced perspective allowed her to observe chimpanzees with fresh eyes. Her tutor, Louis Leakey, recognized her passion and patience, qualities that would define her career. Goodall’s observations revealed the complex social structures and emotional lives of chimpanzees, particularly through her relationship with Flo, a mother chimpanzee, and her family. Flo’s nurturing (养育的) behavior mirrored that of human mothers, deepening Goodall’s understanding of the similarities between humans and chimpanzees. Despite many challenges, Goodall remained committed to conservation, establishing centers for orphaned chimpanzees, such as the one in Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo. As Goodall’s fame grew, she became a symbol of scientific dedication. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to support conservation efforts and community development programs, including Roots and Shoots, which empowers young people to engage in environmental protection. Goodall also advocates education for young African girls, providing scholarships and reproductive health education. Even in her 90s, Goodall continued to travel extensively, advocating for environmental protection and animal welfare. Her legacy is not only in her scientific contributions but also in her tireless efforts to inspire future generations to care for the planet and its inhabitants. 24．What was Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking discovery about chimpanzees? A．They could think rationally and create tools. B．They could recognize themselves in mirrors. C．They could communicate using sign language. D．They had deep connections with humans and nature. 25．What was the significance of Flo in Jane Goodall’s research? A．Flo was the mother of a chimpanzee community. B．Flo was the first chimpanzee to trust Jane Goodall. C．Flo demonstrated the emotional and social complexity of chimpanzees. D．Flo inspired Goodall to observe chimps from an unprejudiced perspective. 26．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．Goodall set up centers for injured chimpanzees. B．Goodall promotes education for all young Africans. C．Jane Goodall Institute offers assistance to community development. D．Roots and Shoots provides medical care for endangered chimpanzees. 27．Which of the following can best describe Jane Goodall? A．Persistent and devoted. B．Competitive and defensive. C．Flexible and sociable. D．Loyal and modest. C In a groundbreaking discovery by Queen Mary scientists, bumblebees have been shown to possess a previously unseen level of cognitive (认知的) complexity. The new study, published in Nature, reveals that these bees can learn complex, multi-step tasks through social interaction, even if they cannot figure them out on their own. Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Lars Chittka, Professor of Sensory and Behavioural Ecology at Queen Mary University of London, the research team designed a two-step puzzle box requiring bumblebees to perform two distinct actions in sequence (顺序) to access a sweet reward in the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward along the way. This reward was eventually taken away, and these demonstrator (示范者) bees subsequently had to open the whole box before getting their treat. Dr Bridges emphasises the novelty of this study, “Other bees learned the whole sequence from social observation of these trained demonstrator bees, even without ever experiencing the first step’s reward. But when we let other bees attempt to open the box without a trained bee to demonstrate the solution, they didn’t manage to open any at all.” This study demonstrates that bumblebees possess a level of social learning previously thought to be exclusive to humans. They can share and acquire behaviours that are beyond their individual cognitive capabilities: an ability thought to form the expansive, complex nature of human culture. This research opens a new approach to understanding animal intelligence and the evolution of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions and paves the way for further exploration of the cognitive wonders hidden within the insect world, even suggesting the exciting possibility of cumulative (累积的) culture, the gradual accumulation of knowledge and skills over generations, among seemingly simple creatures. 28．How did researchers train the demonstrator bees? A．By teaching them to share sweets. B．By opening the box for them. C．By offering temporary rewards. D．By giving them easy tasks. 29．What does the underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Unique. B．Unclear. C．Useful. D．Unknown. 30．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The finding of the study. B．The capabilities of animals. C．The meaning of the study. D．The importance of insects. 31．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Origin of Human Cumulative Culture B．Social Interaction Is Critical for Mental Health C．Bumblebees Master Complex Tasks All by Themselves D．Bumblebees Surprise Scientists with Social Learning Skills D Unlike traditional rigid (僵硬的) robots, soft robotics are built from flexible materials that copy the natural movements of living creatures. This design enables them to move through narrow spaces or complex paths inside the human body. However, adding sensors has been difficult. “The key was making them smart,” explains researcher Larry Cheng from Penn State University, “We needed robots that sense and act independently.” The solution lies in electronic parts designed to bend. Traditional hard electronics limit robot movement, but Cheng’s team used bendable electronics spread across the body. They added magnetic (磁性的) materials inside. By adjusting magnetic fields, robots crawl, roll and twist wirelessly and battery-free. Developing this technology faced two main obstacles. First, even bendable electronics are much harder than the robot’s soft material. “We arranged electronics like puzzle pieces to fit flexibly,” Cheng explained. Second, magnetic fields used for control can disturb electronic signals. The team redesigned circuits (电路) to prevent this interference, keeping sensors accurate near strong magnets. These improvements allow robots to work with less human guidance. In rescue missions, they could find trapped people by detecting body heat. Medical versions might sense chemical changes to deliver drugs exactly where needed. Researchers are developing a pill-sized robot that patients could swallow. “It could examine the digestive system, collect samples, or treat diseases without surgery,” said Korean scientist Suk-Won Hwang, Cheng’s partner. Future plans include creating tiny robots for blood vessel treatments. “Injected into veins, they could repair heart problems or target cancer cells,” Cheng described. Though unnamed yet, these robots might get public-suggested names. “That’s a fun idea,” Cheng laughed when asked about naming possibilities. 32．What is a major advantage of soft robotics? A．Rigid electronic control. B．Harder structural materials C．Strong built-in power supplies. D．Flexible movements in narrow spaces 33．What problems did researchers face in developing the soft robots? A．High expense and material rarity. B．Sensor accuracy and medical risks. C．Inflexible electronics and signal disturbance. D．Limited movement and power shortage. 34．What can be inferred about future medical treatments in paragraph 4? A．Doctors will be replaced by robots. B．Robots can only assist in diagnoses. C．Treatment costs will significantly decrease. D．Certain surgeries may become unnecessary. 35．How did Cheng feel about letting the public name the robots? A．Deeply moved. B．Lightly amused. C．Slightly doubtful. D．Completely uninterested. 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。 Cloning is defined as using the cells of one living subject, plant or animal, to create another duplicate subject. A cloned subject will be the same as its parent. This technology could be useful for laboratory studies and for creating satisfying animals. 36 . One of the biggest disadvantages of cloning is that the technology is still so uncertain. Dolly the sheep, the first mammalian clone, was born in 1996. 37 , she died young of a disease not normally seen in sheep of her age. It is still unsure whether genetic mutations might occur when an animal is cloned. 38 . Gene diversity is what keeps an entire species from being wiped out by a singular virus. It helps to explain why some people naturally are taller, shorter, or more athletic than others. If gene diversity is lost due to excessive cloning, there are no mutations to allow some of the cloned group to survive a newly introduced disease. Another of the disadvantages of cloning is that there are a lot of moral considerations that would cause most people to protest. One of these ethical concerns is that cloning is unnatural. Another concern is the treatment of clones. 39 . Humane treatment guidelines would still apply. There is always a risk of cloning technology being abused. For example, imagine what a corrupt officer could do with cloning. There will always be someone looking to use cloning for their own personal use, and many feel that the best way to prevent this is not to pursue cloning at all. The disadvantages of cloning are seen by many to far outweigh any benefits that might be seen. 40 , it is a technology that many experts say may be better left alone, at least until it is better understood. A．While she was initially successful B．Because of the risk involved in cloning C．This is due to the lack of gene diversity D．Losing gene diversity is another disadvantage of cloning E．Clones would have the same needs as non-clones of their species F．There are many advantages of cloning, for example, curing certain diseases G．However, there are several disadvantages of cloning that should be considered 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve always wanted to do a long bike ride, and I longed for a huge adventure.

I also saw it as a(an) 43 to raise awareness about the Tongass National Forest. 44 , I wanted to ride my bike to Alaska alone, but then I 45 that it would be way more fun to do it with a friend, so I called Alex. It was an 46 adventure, and we did a lot of cool things. 47 , what I saw made me sad. We got to see the human 48 on nature in a way that I just hadn’t been exposed to before. I had a false 49 that there was still a lot of untouched nature out there. We biked 2,400 miles, and it turned out that basically the only places that remained 50 were the national parks. Everything else felt like it had been logged or mined or somehow extracted. The town we 51 through gets bigger 52 cutting down all the trees. 53 all this human impact, I strongly felt how much the world we’ve already 54 . I guess that the only places on Earth that have not had 55 human impact are the places that are just too difficult to reach. I thought a lot about it.

I had always been the best writer in my class. But then, the balance of my little universe shifted--Ethan transferred (转学) to our school. Ethan was quiet. He seemed lost in his own world, and the other students didn't know how to approach him. He was often alone, and it was clear that he felt out of place. I didn’t pay much attention at first. But then came the day that changed everything. It was a writing class like any other, until our teacher assigned us a creative essay. I dove into my work, confident as always. When it was time to sharing, I listened politely as my classmates read their essays, but my mind was already racing ahead to the praise I knew would come my way. Then, Ethan’s turn arrived. He stood up, his voice soft but steady, and began to read. His words painted a picture of an old, forgotten library, where time stood still and the pages of ancient books whispered stories of forgotten worlds. When he finished, the room fell silent. Then, thunderous applause spread across the class. Our teacher's eyes shone with delight. “ Ethan," she said, “ you have a rare gift. With your talent, you 're bound to win the upcoming writing competition. The words hung in the air like a challenge. I had always been the star of our literary world, but now, it seemed, a new light had appeared-one that threatened to outshine mine. That evening, I had a talk with my father. When I finished, he sighed softly and said“' Jealousy is a thief that steals our joy. It’s easy to see Ethan as a rival (对手), but perhaps he’s just a fellow traveler on the same journey. Instead of pushing him away, why not reach out? You might discover that his light doesn’t dim (使黯淡) yours--it only makes the world brighter.” At that moment, I seemed to realize something. 注意: (1)续写词数应为 150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Paragraph 1: The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 8 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
