In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced tourism that dominates (主宰) the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities.
One of the key principles (原则) of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact (影响). By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations (住宿), eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions (排放) compared to those on traditional package tours.
Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, “slow travel” has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts(工艺) and save dying traditions.
However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility (灵活). As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic(真实的) experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic.
Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable (可持续的) ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs.
4. Which is the benefit of slow travel?
A. It can save money on traveling.
B. It can be more environmentally friendly.
C. It can increase the income of travel companies.
D. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly.
5. What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph?
A. It has little impact on local economies.
B. It focuses on interactions with travelers.
C. It discourages travelers from learning about history.
D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts.
6. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. Attractive. B. Comfortable. C. Classical. D. Practical.
7. What can be inferred about the future of slow travel?
A. It will cost less as time passes.
B. It will only be affordable for rich travelers.
C. It may become more popular in the future.
D. It will take the place of traditional tourism entirely.
C
Children exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. A new study from Southern Methodist University psychologist Sarah Kucker and colleagues reveals that passive video use among children can negatively affect language development, but their caregiver’s motivations for exposing them to digital media could also lessen the impact.
Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child’s words, sentences, and how much time they spend on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chat, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared.
Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children’s media use. These factors were then compared to the children’s vocabulary and length using two or more words together.
The research reveals a negative association between high levels of digital media watching and children’s vocabulary development. However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections-such as through video chats with family members.
Kucker acknowledges that parents often use digital media to occupy children while they complete tasks. She suggests that caregivers need to consider what kind of videos and how much their children are watching, and whether they can interact with them during this period.
Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development.
8 What is the potential impact of being exposed to videos by caregivers on children?
A It enhances their vocabulary development.
B. It has no significant effect on their language skills.
C. It leads to the use of shorter phrases and sentences.
D. It encourages them to read print books more often.
9. What do paragraph 2 and 3 tell us about the study?
A. Its research process. B. Its theoretical basis.
C. Its underlying logic. D. Its scientific evidence.
10. Under what circumstance can the negative impact be lessened?
A. When children focus on tasks. B. When children get involved in the content.
C. When videos serve as entertainment. D. When videos aid learning and bond building.
11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To point out the significance of the study.
B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.
C. To present the practical application of the findings.
D. To discuss other affecting factors of babies’ growth.
D
As we know from living on the Suncoast, mangrove trees are all around us. They grow along almost every coastline, provide habitat for fish and other wildlife, protect our homes from destructive storms and erosion, maintain clean water, and fight climate change, thanks to their carbon-storing abilities.
Still, even with their immense beauty and vital importance to our community, mangroves are threatened in our area. To stand up for the trees, Suncoast Waterkeeper has teamed up with Exspanse, Artificial Intelligence, Dimensional Geomatics and New College of Florida on a mangrove mapping project, which will track mangrove growth and conditions along northern Sarasota Bay, Palma Sola Bay, southern Tampa Bay, Terra Ceia Bay and the Manatee River.
Training for the project starts this month, when Suncoast Waterkeeper and New College data science graduate students will learn how to operate drones (无人机), using photogrammetry to measure and map the local mangroves. (Photogrammetry is the act of obtaining precise measurements from photographs.)
The training, led by Dimensional Geomatics, will provide a standard operating procedure for community and student-based mapping using drone imagery. Exspanse, based out of Longboat Key, will then provide its modeling platform to New College data science students for the hands-on experience of building, training and employing models using data from the project. Those models will show the extent and density (密度) of the surveyed mangroves. Looking at the density of the trees over time will provide insight into the overall health of mangroves in the area.
The mangrove mapping project comes at a time when protecting wetlands is significant, as Manatee County is currently considering removing policies from its Comprehensive Plan and sections of the Land Development Code, which will allow for destruction of local wetlands and wetland buffer areas. Suncoast Waterkeeper has put together a petition (请愿书) which will be sent to the Manatee Board of County Commissioners. The hope is that public knowledge about the project will bring a drive for the community to preserve and improve the condition of local wetlands, because once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
12. Why are mangroves important to local people?
A. They’re the main source of food. B. They have positive ecological effects.
C. They’re the top tourist attraction. D. They can prevent destructive weather.
13. What is the purpose of the training?
A. To explore the variety of mangroves more widely.
B. To raise the participants’ environmental awareness.
C. To teach the participants about the operation of drones.
D. To gather the data about mangrove for further analysis.
14. What could be a potential challenge for the project?
A. People’s disinterest in public affairs. B. Over-reliance on the use of technology.
C. Difficulty in processing the data collected. D. Lack of support from the local government.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Training Program for Drone Operators
B. The Importance of Wetlands and Wildlife
C. A Mapping Project for Mangrove Protection
D. The Role of Mangroves in Local Economy

Takehito was daydreaming when he heard a voice. “And what performance will you present at the talent show, Takehito?” Takehito’s fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Klein, had spoken and was glaring down at him now.
Takehito had been staring out the window from his desk while Mrs. Klein paced up and down the rows of desks to ask each student what talent he or she would perform for the show. The rest of the class and Takehito’s teacher were now staring and waiting for his answer.
Takehito’s face popped beet-red. He didn’t know what to say. Luckily for him, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Takehito quickly gathered his books and got up to leave, but Mrs. Klein stopped him.
Actually, Mrs. Klein worried about Takehito. Last year, he and his mother immigrated from Japan to Chicago. He had not made friends easily. Some of the students in his old class made fun of the way he looked and the way he spoke. Therefore, as his teacher this year, Mrs. Klein was determined to get Takehito to perform in the talent show, knowing that if he did, he would establish some friendships before entering junior high.
“What are you good at?” asked Mrs. Klein.
Takehito, thought for a moment. “I don’t know.”
“What do you mean?” Mrs. Klein continued. “Can you draw? Can you play a sport? Can you play a musical instrument? Can you sing?
Mrs. Klein continued listing talents, but Takehito stopped listening as his gazing wandered to a poster on the wall. The poster showed a person doing breakdance (霹雳舞).
“Dancing I will breakdance!” Takehito interrupted.
Mrs. Klein’s eyes lit up with encouragement. “That’s fantastic, Takehito! Breakdancing is a great choice. I’m sure you’ll do an amazing job.” Her smile was reassuring, and she added, “The talent show is three months away, so you have plenty of time to prepare. I’ll be here to help you prepare if you need it.”
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。
That evening, Takehito sat at the dinner table with his mother.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The three months slipped by in a flash, and the day of the talent show was finally here.

In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced tourism that dominates (主宰) the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities.
One of the key principles (原则) of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact (影响). By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations (住宿), eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions (排放) compared to those on traditional package tours.
Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, “slow travel” has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts(工艺) and save dying traditions.
However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility (灵活). As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic(真实的) experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic.
Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable (可持续的) ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs.
4. Which is the benefit of slow travel?
A. It can save money on traveling.
B. It can be more environmentally friendly.
C. It can increase the income of travel companies.
D. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly.
5. What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph?
A. It has little impact on local economies.
B. It focuses on interactions with travelers.
C. It discourages travelers from learning about history.
D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts.
6. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. Attractive. B. Comfortable. C. Classical. D. Practical.
7. What can be inferred about the future of slow travel?
A. It will cost less as time passes.
B. It will only be affordable for rich travelers.
C. It may become more popular in the future.
D. It will take the place of traditional tourism entirely.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“慢旅行”这一概念,阐述其减少环境影响、深化文化理解的优势,提及面临的挑战及未来发展趋势。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the key principles (原则) of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact (影响). By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations (住宿), eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. (慢旅行的核心原则之一是减少环境影响。通过选择入住当地经营的住宿、在家庭经营的餐厅用餐、使用公共交通或自行车,旅行者能大幅降低碳足迹。)”可知,慢旅行能减少环境影响、降低碳足迹,具备更环保的优势。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In some rural areas, “slow travel” has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts(工艺) and save dying traditions. (在一些农村地区,“慢旅行”助力保护濒危手工艺,挽救濒临消失的传统。)”可知,慢旅行对传统手工艺的保护有积极作用,可能有助于传统手工艺的传承。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. (此外,受时间或预算限制,慢旅行可能并非对所有人都feasible。对于工作繁忙的职场人士或假期有限的家庭来说,在一个目的地待数周似乎不现实。)”可知,unrealistic(不现实的)是对not feasible的解释,由此可推测feasible意为“切实可行的”。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable (可持续的) ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options... (尽管存在这些挑战,慢旅行趋势仍在持续发展。旅行者愈发意识到自身对环境和文化的影响,许多人在寻求更真实、可持续的探索世界的方式。因此,旅游公司正开始提供更多慢旅行选择……)”可知,慢旅行趋势在发展,旅行者需求增加且旅游公司积极配合,由此可推断其未来可能会更受欢迎。故选C项。

Children exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. A new study from Southern Methodist University psychologist Sarah Kucker and colleagues reveals that passive video use among children can negatively affect language development, but their caregiver’s motivations for exposing them to digital media could also lessen the impact.
Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child’s words, sentences, and how much time they spend on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chat, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared.
Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children’s media use. These factors were then compared to the children’s vocabulary and length using two or more words together.
The research reveals a negative association between high levels of digital media watching and children’s vocabulary development. However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections-such as through video chats with family members.
Kucker acknowledges that parents often use digital media to occupy children while they complete tasks. She suggests that caregivers need to consider what kind of videos and how much their children are watching and whether they can interact with them during this period.
Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development.
8. What is the potential impact of being exposed to videos by caregivers on children?
A. It enhances their vocabulary development.
B. It has no significant effect on their language skills.
C. It leads to the use of shorter phrases and sentences.
D. It encourages them to read print books more often.
9. What do paragraph 2 and 3 tell us about the study?
A. Its research process. B. Its theoretical basis.
C. Its underlying logic. D. Its scientific evidence.
10. Under what circumstance can the negative impact be lessened?
A. When children focus on tasks. B. When children get involved in the content.
C. When videos serve as entertainment. D. When videos aid learning and bond building.
11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To point out the significance of the study.
B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.
C. To present the practical application of the findings.
D. To discuss other affecting factors of babies’ growth.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B

As we know from living on the Suncoast, mangrove trees are all around us. They grow along almost every coastline, provide habitat for fish and other wildlife, protect our homes from destructive storms and erosion, maintain clean water, and fight climate change, thanks to their carbon-storing abilities.
Still, even with their immense beauty and vital importance to our community, mangroves are threatened in our area. To stand up for the trees, Suncoast Waterkeeper has teamed up with Exspanse, Artificial Intelligence, Dimensional Geomatics and New College of Florida on a mangrove mapping project, which will track mangrove growth and conditions along northern Sarasota Bay, Palma Sola Bay, southern Tampa Bay, Terra Ceia Bay and the Manatee River.
Training for the project starts this month, when Suncoast Waterkeeper and New College data science graduate students will learn how to operate drones (无人机), using photogrammetry to measure and map the local mangroves. (Photogrammetry is the act of obtaining precise measurements from photographs.)
The training, led by Dimensional Geomatics, will provide a standard operating procedure for community and student-based mapping using drone imagery. Exspanse, based out of Longboat Key, will then provide its modeling platform to New College data science students for the hands-on experience of building, training and employing models using data from the project. Those models will show the extent and density (密度) of the surveyed mangroves. Looking at the density of the trees over time will provide insight into the overall health of mangroves in the area.
The mangrove mapping project comes at a time when protecting wetlands is significant, as Manatee County is currently considering removing policies from its Comprehensive Plan and sections of the Land Development Code, which will allow for destruction of local wetlands and wetland buffer areas. Suncoast Waterkeeper has put together a petition (请愿书) which will be sent to the Manatee Board of County Commissioners. The hope is that public knowledge about the project will bring a drive for the community to preserve and improve the condition of local wetlands, because once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
12. Why are mangroves important to local people?
A. They’re the main source of food. B. They have positive ecological effects.
C. They’re the top tourist attraction. D. They can prevent destructive weather.
13. What is the purpose of the training?
A. To explore the variety of mangroves more widely.
B. To raise the participants’ environmental awareness.
C. To teach the participants about the operation of drones.
D. To gather the data about mangrove for further analysis.
14. What could be a potential challenge for the project?
A. People’s disinterest in public affairs. B. Over-reliance on the use of technology.
C. Difficulty in processing the data collected. D. Lack of support from the local government.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Training Program for Drone Operators
B. The Importance of Wetlands and Wildlife
C. A Mapping Project for Mangrove Protection
D. The Role of Mangroves in Local Economy
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在新西兰最大城市奥克兰举行的“感知中国:敦煌文化走进新西兰”活动。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:此次展览由甘肃省新闻办公室和敦煌研究院承办,旨在生动展示中国丰富的文化遗产。空处需要谓语动词,主语The exhibition和bring之间是动宾关系,应用被动语态,而文中描述的活动已经结束,即动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。故填was brought。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:活动还数字化还原了莫高窟第285窟。空处修饰谓语动词restored,需要副词,digital的副词形式应用digitally表示“以数字方式,数字化”符合句意。故填digitally。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:这些工作使得观众们沉浸在敦煌石窟的历史和文化精髓中。此处为代词作bury的宾语,they和宾语the audience所指相同,应用反身代词。故填themselves。
39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:此外,来自甘肃演艺集团的演员们以传统的敦煌歌舞吸引了观众们,为他们提供了一场难忘的视听体验。experience意为“经历”为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,且这里表示 “一次、一场(经历)”,所以此处应用不定冠词,而空后unforgettable以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:它旨在促进中新两国之间的文化交流,同时通过展示敦煌石窟艺术的独特魅力促进民间交流。此处为固定短语“between…and…”表示“在……和……之间”符合句意,所以此处使用介词between。故填between。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:据组织者介绍,敦煌文化是世界文化多样性的重要组成部分。此处为名词作of的宾语,various的名词为variety意为“多样化”。故填variety。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:通过交流互鉴,文明变得更加丰富多彩。此处为形容词作表语,由并列表语more colorful可知,这里应用形容词比较级。故填richer。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们希望这次展览有助于加强两国人民之间的联系,促进双边关系健康稳定发展。此处为非谓语动词作宾语,根据contribute to意为“有助于”中的to是介词可知,其后应接动名词作宾语。故填strengthening。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“这次展览真的非常重要,它为新西兰人提供了与世界上最重要文化和宗教遗址之一接触的难得机会,并促进了民间交流。” 新西兰议会议员Jenny Salesa说道。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为This exhibition,表示事物,应用关系代词which。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“这次展览真的非常重要,它为新西兰人提供了与世界上最重要文化和宗教遗址之一接触的难得机会,并促进了民间交流。” 新西兰议会议员Jenny Salesa说道。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰opportunity,修饰opportunity应用动词不定式形式。故填to engage。

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。
Takehito was daydreaming when he heard a voice. “And what performance will you present at the talent show, Takehito?” Takehito’s fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Klein, had spoken and was glaring down at him now.
Takehito had been staring out the window from his desk while Mrs. Klein paced up and down the rows of desks to ask each student what talent he or she would perform for the show. The rest of the class and Takehito’s teacher were now staring and waiting for his answer.
Takehito’s face popped beet-red. He didn’t know what to say. Luckily for him, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Takehito quickly gathered his books and got up to leave, but Mrs. Klein stopped him.
Actually, Mrs. Klein worried about Takehito. Last year, he and his mother immigrated from Japan to Chicago. He had not made friends easily. Some of the students in his old class made fun of the way he looked and the way he spoke. Therefore, as his teacher this year, Mrs. Klein was determined to get Takehito to perform in the talent show, knowing that if he did, he would establish some friendships before entering junior high.
“What are you good at?” asked Mrs. Klein.
Takehito, thought for a moment. “I don’t know.”
“What do you mean?” Mrs Klein continued. “Can you draw? Can you play a sport? Can you play a musical instrument? Can you sing?
Mrs. Klein continued listing talents, but Takehito stopped listening as his gazing wandered to a poster on the wall. The poster showed a person doing breakdance (霹雳舞).
“Dancing. I will breakdance!” Takehito interrupted.
Mrs. Klein’s eyes lit up with encouragement. “That’s fantastic, Takehito! Breakdancing is a great choice. I’m sure you’ll do an amazing job.” Her smile was reassuring, and she added, “The talent show is three months away, so you have plenty of time to prepare. I’ll be here to help you prepare if you need it.”
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。
That evening, Takehito sat at the dinner table with his mother.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The three months slipped by in a flash, and the day of the talent show was finally here.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
That evening, Takehito sat at the dinner table with his mother. Hesitant at first, he finally shared, “Mom, Mrs. Klein asked what I’d perform at the talent show, and I said I’d breakdance. But I’ve never danced before.” His mother looked at him with a mixture of surprise and pride. “Breakdancing, huh? That sounds exciting! Let’s find you a dance class. You’ll get better with practice.” The following week, Takehito began attending dance classes. The sessions were tough; his muscles ached, and he often stumbled over the moves. But he remembered Mrs. Klein’s encouragement and his mother’s faith in him. He kept pushing through, dedicating himself to mastering each step.
The three months slipped by in a flash, and the day of the talent show was finally here. Takehito stood backstage, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. When his turn finally came, Takehito stepped onto the stage, his heart pounding with anticipation. As the music started, he let the rhythm guide him, his movements flowing with confidence. His energetic performance was a burst of spins, flips, and powerful freezes, captivating everyone in the audience. With every move, the crowd grew more enthusiastic, their cheers growing louder. By the end of his act, the audience was almost on their feet, roaring with applause. Takehito’s face beamed with joy as he felt the infectious excitement of the crowd, knowing he had truly set the stage on fire.
