Best destinations to travel in 2025 – Lonely Planet
Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is an immersive destination for travelers in search of an unspoiled adventure full of natural beauty, history and culture. 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 is 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.
1. 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.
2. Which destination is the best choice for an oceanview enthusiast?

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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. A

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.
8. 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.
9. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unique. B. Unclear. C. Useful. D. Unknown.
10. 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.
11. 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
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕伦敦玛丽女王大学的一项突破性研究展开,揭示大黄蜂能通过社会学习掌握复杂多步骤任务,挑战了对动物智力的传统认知。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.(训练蜜蜂做到这一点不是一件容易的事,蜜蜂必须在过程中通过额外的奖励来帮助它们。这个奖励最终被取消了,这些示范蜜蜂随后必须打开整个盒子才能得到它们的奖励)”可知,研究人员是通过提供临时奖励辅助来训练示范蜜蜂的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“This study demonstrates that bumblebees possess a level of social learning previously thought to be exclusive to humans.(这项研究表明,大黄蜂拥有一种以前被认为是人类exclusive社会学习能力)”以及后文“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.(它们可以分享和获得超越其个人认知能力的行为:一种被认为形成人类文化的广阔、复杂本质的能力)”可知,大黄蜂拥有一种以前被认为是人类独有的社会学习能力。由此可知,划线词exclusive与unique“独特的,独一无二的”意思相近。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“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.( 这项研究为理解动物智力和社会学习的进化开辟了新的途径。它挑战了长期以来的假设,为进一步探索隐藏在昆虫世界中的认知奇迹铺平了道路,甚至提出了令人兴奋的累积文化的可能性,即看似简单的生物在几代之间逐渐积累知识和技能)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是这项研究的意义。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意第一段“In a groundbreaking discovery by Queen Mary scientists, bumblebees have been shown to possess a previously unseen level of cognitive (认知的) complexity.

Unlike traditional rigid 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 like disaster debris 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 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 stiffer 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.
12. What is a major advantage of soft robotics?
A. Rigid electronic control. B. Stiffer structural components
C. Strong built-in power supplies. D. Flexible movements in narrow spaces
13. What problems did researchers face in developing the soft robots?
A. High cost and material scarcity.
B. Sensor accuracy and medical risks.
C. Stiff electronics and signal interference.
D. Limited movement and power shortage.
14. 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.
15. How did Cheng feel about letting the public name the robots?
A. Deeply moved. B. Lightly amused.
C. Slightly doubtful. D. Completely uninterested.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了软体机器人的优势、研发难题及未来医疗应用前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Unlike traditional rigid 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 like disaster debris or complex paths inside the human body(与传统刚性机器人不同,软体机器人由柔性材料制成,能够模仿生物的自然运动。这种设计使它们能够在狭窄空间(如灾难废墟)或人体内部的复杂路径中灵活移动。)”可知,软体机器人的主要优势在于能够在狭窄空间灵活移动。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“First, even bendable electronics are much stiffer than the robot’s soft material.(首先,即使是可弯曲的电子元件也比机器人的软材料硬得多。)”和“Second, magnetic fields used for control can disturb electronic signals.(其次,用于控制的磁场会干扰电子信号。)”可知,研究人员在开发软体机器人时面临的问题是电子元件过硬和信号干扰。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“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.(医疗版本可能通过感知化学变化来将药物准确输送到需要的地方。研究人员正在开发一种患者可以吞咽的药丸大小的机器人。“它可以检查消化系统,采集样本,或者在不进行手术的情况下治疗疾病,”Cheng的合作伙伴、韩国科学家Suk-Won Hwang说。)”可知,未来的医疗治疗中,某些手术可能会因为软体机器人的应用而变得不必要。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Though unnamed yet, these robots might get public-suggested names. “That’s a fun idea,” Cheng laughed when asked about naming possibilities.(尽管这些机器人尚未命名,但名称可能会由公众提议。当被问及命名可能性时,Cheng笑着说:“这是个有趣的想法。”)”可知,Cheng对让公众为机器人命名感到有趣,故选B。
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. ____16____.
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. ____17____, 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.
____18____. 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. ____19____. 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. ____20____, 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
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. B
【解析】

【16题详解】
根据上文“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. (克隆被定义为使用一个活的主体,植物或动物的细胞,创造另一个复制的主体。克隆的主体将与它的父主体相同。这项技术可以用于实验室研究和创造令人满意的动物)”可知,此处说明了克隆技术的意义。下文介绍克隆技术的缺点,前后语义存在转折关系。由此可知,G选项However, there are several disadvantages of cloning that should be considered(然而,克隆有几个缺点应该被考虑)能够承上启下,符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Dolly the sheep, the first mammalian clone, was born in 1996. (多利羊,第一个哺乳动物克隆,诞生于1996年)”可知,这里主要介绍克隆羊多利。由此可知,A项While she was initially successful(虽然她最初很成功)能够承接上文,符合语境,其中she指代上文Dolly,she was initially successful也与后文he died young of a disease形成转折。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“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.(基因多样性是防止整个物种被单一病毒消灭的原因。这有助于解释为什么有些人天生比其他人更高、更短或更运动。如果基因多样性由于过度克隆而丧失,那么就没有突变使一些克隆群体能够在新引入的疾病中存活下来)”可知,这里主要讲基因多样性的作用以及缺乏基因多样性的影响。由此可知,D项Losing gene diversity is another disadvantage of cloning(失去基因多样性是克隆的另一个缺点)能够衔接下文,符合语境,其中Losing gene diversity与下文gene diversity is lost 对应。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“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. (克隆的另一个缺点是,有很多道德考虑会引起大多数人的抗议。其中一个伦理问题是克隆是不自然的。另一个问题是克隆的处理)”可知,这里主要讲克隆技术存在的道德问题。由此可知,E项Clones would have the same needs as non-clones of their species(克隆人与非克隆人有着相同的需求)能够衔接上文,并引出下文Humane treatment guidelines would still apply(人道待遇准则仍然适用),符合语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“it is a technology that many experts say may be better left alone, at least until it is better understood.(许多专家表示,至少在人们更好地理解这项技术之前,最好不要理会它)”可知,这里主要讲专家对克隆技术的态度。而B项Because of the risk involved in cloning(因为克隆的风险)能够衔接下文,正是由于克隆由风险,所以专家建议谨慎对待。故选B项。

在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
36. After the exhausting journey, the explorer recorded in his notebook all___________ he had seen and experienced in the mysterious valley. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:在筋疲力尽的旅行之后,探险家在他的笔记本上记录了他在这个神秘的山谷里所看到和经历的一切。空处引导限定性定语从句,先行词是代词all,指物,关系词在从句中作宾语,应用关系代词that引导。故填that。
37. The company possesses abundant natural resources, ______ which it has taken full advantage to dominate the market. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】of
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和介词。句意:该公司拥有丰富的自然资源,它充分利用了这些资源来主导市场。take full advantage of是固定短语,意为“充分利用”;关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,指代先行词“abundant natural resources”,在从句中作动词短语take full advantage of的宾语,of不能省略,可放到关系代词which前。故填of。
38. The old man is such a hard-working gardener ________ quite a few gardens want to hire as a full-time worker. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】as
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:这位老人是一位如此勤劳的园丁,以至于相当多的花园都想聘请他作为全职工人。“________ quite a few gardens want to hire as a full-time worker”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词gardener,关系词将其代入从句中作hire的宾语,且前面有such修饰,需要关系代词as引导该从句。故填as。
39. Tomorrow at 8 p.m., I ______ (attend) an online lecture on environmental science. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】will be attending
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:明天晚上8点,我将参加一场关于环境科学的在线讲座。句中时间状语Tomorrow at 8 p.m.表示将来某个具体的时间点,强调在该时间点正在进行的动作,时态应用将来进行时will be doing。故填will be attending。
40. Nowadays, ______ (equip) with knowledge of the computer is an important qualification for most posts. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】being equipped
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:如今,具备计算机知识是大多数岗位的一项重要资质。空处和空后的with knowledge of the computer搭配,作句子的主语,是非谓语动词,固定短语be equipped with意为“具备……”,且此处介绍的是经常性、习惯性的动作,因此be需用动名词形式。故填being equipped。
41. Labubu’s rise integrates ________ (China) strong manufacturing base with creative innovation, tapping into the emotional needs of global consumers. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】China's
【解析】
【详解】考查名词所有格。句意:Labubu的崛起将中国强大的制造业基础与创新融合在一起,满足了全球消费者的情感需求。根据空后名词短语strong manufacturing base可知,此空在句中作定语,表示“中国的强大制造业基础”。China的形容词形式Chinese虽常见,但更侧重于“与中国相关的/中文的”,而此处强调归属关系,名词所有格“China’s (中国的)”更符合语境和语法逻辑。故填China's。
42. Jianbing is thought ________ (originate) in Shandong Province during the Three Kingdoms Period. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to have originated
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式的完成式。句意:人们认为煎饼起源于三国时期的山东省。根据“be thought to do sth.”的固定搭配以及“起源于三国时期”发生在“被认为”之前可知,此处to do应变成to have done。所给词originate是动词,意为“起源,产生”。其动词不定式的完成式为to have originated,在句中作主语补足语。故填to have originated。
43. A full-grown elephant___________(weigh)over 6,000 kilograms wandered into the local village. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】weighing
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词。句意:一头体重超过6000公斤的成年大象走进了当地的村庄。分析句子可知,主语为A full-grown elephant,谓语为wandered,空处为非谓语动词作后置定语,且大象与weigh“重达”之间为逻辑上的主动关系,应用现在分词。故填weighing。
44. He made numerous contributions to the world, the most well-known ______ (be) the general theory of relativity. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】being
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:他为世界做出了诸多贡献,其中最为人所知的便是广义相对论。此处没有连词,为独立主格结构。theory和be之间为主动关系,使用现在分词形式,故填being。
45. ________ the injury, John was in the lead throughout the track and field events and won the gold medal. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】Despite
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:尽管受伤了,约翰在整个田径比赛中都处于领先地位并赢得了金牌。根据句意可知,前后部分之间是转折关系,“________ the injury”在句中作让步状语,应用介词despite引导让步状语,意为“尽管”;句首单词首字母大写。故填Despite。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Writing was my passion. 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 share, 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个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch. I took a deep breath and walked towards the table where he sat alone, his nose buried in a book. “Hi, Ethan,” I said, trying to sound casual. “I really loved your essay in class. It was amazing.” He looked up, surprise flashing across his face. A small smile played on his lips as he thanked me. I then invited him to join me in preparing for the upcoming writing competition. To my relief, he agreed.
From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work. We shared our ideas, gave each other honest feedback, and encouraged one another. His unique perspective broadened my horizons, and I found my own writing improving. When the day of the competition arrived, we walked in side by side, full of confidence. In the end, we both won awards. It was a moment of pure joy. Father was right: Ethan’s light didn’t dim mine — actually, it made mine shine brighter.
【解析】
【导语】本文以作者的写作经历为线索,讲述原本是班级写作之星的作者,因转学生Ethan的出色表现受到挑战,作者感到嫉妒,后来在父亲的建议下转变态度,和Ethan互相学习、共同进步。

Best destinations to travel in 2025 – Lonely Planet
Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is an immersive destination for travelers in search of an unspoiled adventure full of natural beauty, history and culture. 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 is 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.
1. 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.
2. Which destination is the best choice for an oceanview enthusiast?
A. Kazakhstan. B. Vanuatu. C. Laos. D. Paraguay.
3. What do these four destinations have in common?

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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unique. B. Unclear. C. Useful. D. Unknown.
10. 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.
11. 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 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 like disaster debris 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 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 stiffer 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.
12. What is a major advantage of soft robotics?
A. Rigid electronic control. B. Stiffer structural components
C. Strong built-in power supplies. D. Flexible movements in narrow spaces
13. What problems did researchers face in developing the soft robots?
A. High cost and material scarcity.
B. Sensor accuracy and medical risks.
C. Stiff electronics and signal interference.
D. Limited movement and power shortage.
14. 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.
15. How did Cheng feel about letting the public name the robots?
A. Deeply moved. B. Lightly amused.
C. Slightly doubtful. D. Completely uninterested.

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. ____16____.
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. ____17____, 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.
____18____. 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. ____19____. 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. ____20____, 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

It was a(n) ____26____ adventure, and we did a lot of cool things. ____27____, what I saw made me sad. We got to see the human ____28____ on nature in a way that I just hadn’t been exposed to before. I had a false ____29____ 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 ____30____ were the national parks. Everything else felt like it had been logged or mined or somehow extracted.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Writing was my passion. 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 share, 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个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work.
