A
Remote Getaways in the Indian Ocean
Thulusdhoo, Maldives
Palm trees move slowly from side to side in the warm air here just as they do on the private island destinations that occupy most of the Maldives’ islands. But unlike those islands, this island still keeps its local Maldivian lifestyle. Best of all, restaurants and activity providers are everywhere around the sandy beaches at much lower prices than those private islands.
Budget reference: Season Paradise offers a 10-night package from $1,250 per person.
Alphonse, Seychelles
Alphonse is usually considered as an Indian Ocean Galápagos. The BBC’s Blue Planet series was shot here. Visitors can join in conservation projects such as ocean clean-ups and turtle-tracking here. Tourism is such a recent arrival that dive sites are still being mapped out.
Budget reference: Original Diving offers a 10-night package from $10,567 per person.
Mohéli, Comoros
Few Indian Ocean destinations are as unchanged by tourism as the island of Mohéli, for the simple reason that few tourists ever visit. Only now are visitors discovering their white-sand beaches. The UNESCO-listed Mwali Biosphere Reserve, which is home to many endangered and rare animals, is located here.
Budget reference: Responsible Travel has a 10-night package from $1,453 per person.
Havelock, India
At least two flights and a couple of hours on a boat make some first-times question their decision for Havelock. But by the time they leave, most of them will regret why they didn’t book for longer.
Havelock is beautiful: mile upon mile of wild beach; barefoot luxury in hotels; great diving and surfing in the blue sea. In the villages, tourists can try delicious fish curry at roadside eateries.
Budget reference: Bamboo Travel offers a 10-night package from $3,355 per person.

2. How much should a couple pay for Responsible Travel’s 10-night package at least?

B
On a very hot Saturday in San Antonio about 50 educators turned up for a three-hour workshop, titled “Enhancing Instruction With Artificial Intelligence”. During the workshop, attendees generated lesson plans and graded schoolwork with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and Microsoft CoPilot.
Celeste Simone, a middle school teacher who used the AI tools to generate pictures alongside vocabulary words and created illustrated storybooks that used students’ names as characters, said, “I’m shocked to see that they can create the materials in a matter of seconds. I don’t think I could go back to the way I did things before.”
Having seen how helpful the AI tools are, another attendee raised a concern, “Are we going to be replaced by AI?”
That remains to be seen. But to help the nation’s 4 million teachers to use the technology teachers unions have formed an unlikely partnership with the world’s largest technology companies such as Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic. The two groups don’t always see eye to eye but say they share a common goal: training the future workforce of America.
“Like it or not, AI is part of our world,” said Daaiyah Bilal, an official of The National Education Association (NEA), the country’s largest teachers union. “We are preparing kids for the future. That is our primary job.”
Under the arrangement announced in July, NEA is planning to build an AI training center in New York City that will offer virtual and in-person workshops for teachers. The goal is to open at least two more centers and train 400,000 teachers over the next five years.
Tech companies also see opportunities in education beyond training teachers. Microsoft announced a $4 billion initiative for AI research and training. It includes a program that will give all school districts and community colleges in Washington, Microsoft’s home state, free access to its CoPilot tools. Google said it would commit $1 billion for AI education and job training programs, including free access to its Gemini for education platforms for US high schools.
4. Which word best describes Celeste Simone’s attitude to the AI tools?
A. Concerned. B. Cautious.
C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
5. What do the underlined words “see eye to eye” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Complain. B. Agree.
C. Invest. D. Negotiate.
6. What can we know about the AI training center in New York City?
A. It will offer online and in-person training.
B. It is one of the existing three training centers.
C. It is funded by one of the big tech companies.
D. It has already accepted 50 educators for trial.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The cooperation among tech companies.
B. An introduction to the NEA agreement.
C. The competition between teachers unions.
D. A reason for tech companies’ generosity.
C
China announced a long-awaited plan to integrate the Pearl River Delta Area (PRDA) as an attempt to create a powerhouse to rival the US Silicon Valley that is home to such well-known companies as Google, Facebook and Apple. The possibilities and challenges of the effort are both equally promising and challenging.
The plan is a natural result of the economic and technological development in the area. China’s opening up to the world more than four decades ago began in the area and PRDA has long been home to many of the country’s leading technological companies, including Huawei and Tencent.
“The plan is promising,” said Adam Xu, an analyst at OC & C Strategy Consultants. “If you really look at history in China, a lot of top-down plans always have very strong bottom-up support. And a lot of economic activities have already happened there. Now they have a bigger plan to officially recognize, promote and further accelerate (加速).”
The key challenge will be execution (执行). The plan has to integrate three different legal systems among Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. That makes PRDA unique compared to the other two major areas in China — the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region and the Yangtze River Delta Area near Shanghai.
“We don’t know how effectively the top-down plan will guide the many independent growing forces at the local level,” Xu admitted. “This part will be quite an important challenge.”
China has already taken major steps to overcome some of the physical barriers, such as linking Hong Kong with Guangzhou and Shenzhen by high-speed railways and its recent opening of the 55-kilometer Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge. But other barriers, such as the flow of people, information and money, may prove to be a bigger challenge.
“The biggest challenge and the biggest beauty, if they eventually succeed, will be linking all of these together,” Xu said. “Once integrated, Hong Kong serves as a global financial center, Shenzhen as a technology and innovation lab, Guangzhou as a trade powerhouse, and Macau as a tourism and cultural bridge. Together, they reflect the dynamism of China’s growth and its deepening engagement with the world.”
8. What does Adam Xu want to stress in Paragraph 3?
A. The favorable conditions in PRDA.
B. The benefits of top-down plans in China.
C. The speed of carrying out the plan.
D. The flow of people, information and money.
9. What is the unique challenge in PRDA?
A. The physical barriers. B. Different legal systems.
C. The cultural differences. D. The local governments’ support.
10. Which city serves as a cultural bridge?
A. Shenzhen. B. Hong Kong. C. Macau. D. Guangzhou.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Different Legal Systems in Hong Kong and Macau
B. The Problems Facing China’s Newly Announced Plans
C. The Advantages of Integrating the Other Two Areas
D. The Potentials and Difficulties of Integrating PRDA
D
For thousands of years, there’s been a common belief in Western culture about emotions that they come on fast and uncontrollable. But a new study that has looked at what’s going on inside the brain and the body during specific emotional states has found that the theory doesn’t hold up.
For example, you’re walking in the woods, and you see a bear. You recognize it’s a bear. Then what happens?
Previously, researchers thought that the fear touches off a series of physical and emotional responses so that your heart rate rises, your breath quickens and the adrenaline (肾上腺素)levels increase in your body and you are well-prepared to run away and live another day.
But the new study has drawn a totally different conclusion: The brain recognizes a bear, and then that recognition leads to all the physiological responses. In other words, to make the decision, your brain takes into account your past experiences and your memories. This step is key. For instance, if your past experiences with bears come largely through news reports of attacks, then your brain will likely interpret your physiological responses as fear. This emotion will help drive you away from the bear in order to live another day.
But what if you are a hunter? And your past experience with a bear ended in a wonderful feast for you and your neighbors. Then your brain may interpret the physiological responses as excitement. This positive emotion will drive you toward the bear in order to bring home dinner.
The study concludes that the chosen emotion not only helps the brain make sense of these signals, but it also helps the brain predict better the immediate future and how to handle the situation at hand.
Understanding how these predictions work helps us realize that emotions aren’t uncontrollable reactions to particular situations. Next week, we’ll see how to control our emotions in different situations.
12. According to the common belief in Western culture, what is our first reaction to a bear?
A. We will feel frightened. B. Our heart will beat very slowly.
C We will control our breath. D. Less adrenaline will be produced.
13. What will help us put our emotions under control according to the new study?
A. Our personality. B. Our daily needs.
C. Our experiences. D. Our nerve system.
14. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To prove a theory right. B. To introduce a new discovery.
C To provide some advice. D. To call for wildlife protection.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A textbook. C. A test result. D. A lecture.

The memory of my eighth birthday remains vivid, not because of the gift itself, but because of the unforgettable lesson it brought. That morning, my father presented me with a shiny new bicycle. Bursting with excitement, I rode it to school early in the morning. The world was bathed in golden sunlight, and the birds were celebrating a new day in the trees.
But my joy was short-lived. When I turned around a corner, I heard a loud, sharp sound behind me. My heart beat fast after I realized that I had run into a car parked by the roadside and left a long, ugly scratch (划痕)on its door.
I slowed down and jumped off my bike to have a closer look. I froze there and imagined what my dad would do. I looked around nervously and found the street completely empty. No one had seen the accident. A tempting idea flashed through my mind.
“Why not just run away?” I argued with myself. “No one would ever know.”
For a brief moment, I yielded (屈服)to the impulse. I jumped onto my bike and rode as fast as I could. However, the farther I went, the heavier my heart would feel. Overcome by guilt, I made the difficult decision to return to the scene.
I found a notebook in my backpack and wrote a note. I put down my name, address, and apologized sincerely for what had happened. I carefully placed the note under the car’s windshield wiper (挡风玻璃刮水器).
The school day that followed seemed painfully long. When the bell eventually rang, I walked my bike home very slowly, dreading the upcoming storm. As I got close to my home, I saw my dad waiting for me at the door.
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。
To my astonishment, my dad was not angry at all.

My Visit to the China Space Exploration Photo Exhibition
Last week, I visited the China Space Exploration Photo Exhibition, which featured iconic images, from the Chang’e lunar rover on the moon to the construction of the Tiangong space station, vividly illustrating China’s great advancements in space exploration.
Witnessing these achievements filled me with deep pride. I was deeply moved by the decades of achievements made by countless scientists and engineers working tirelessly behind the scenes. Their dedication, driven by a profound sense of patriotism, has been crucial to these successes. More importantly, their spirit serves to inspire me to contribute to the ongoing rejuvenation of our country.
第二节(满分25分)
【47题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
To my astonishment, my dad was not angry at all. “The car owner has been here,” he said with a pride I hadn’t anticipated. “He said he had witnessed the entire incident and that he was particularly impressed by your decision to face the consequences. He asked me to tell you that the scratch on his car had been covered by insurance. He came here just to tell me how much he appreciated your honesty and courage.”
That day, I learned one of the most important lessons in my life. It was far more valuable than the birthday gift itself. For the first time, I realized that being a good person wasn’t about never making mistakes; it’s about having the courage to face them. My dad’s pride remains a treasure, a constant reminder that our true character is defined not by our stumbles, but by how we choose to rise after them.
