B In recent years,the concept of"slow travel"has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced,mass tourism that dominates 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 of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact.By choosing to stay in locally- owned accommodations,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 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 endangered crafts and save dying traditions. However,slow travel is not without challenges.It requires more planning and flexibility.As travelers need to research local customs,transportation options,and authentic experiences.Additionally,slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget 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 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. 24.How does slow travel cut environmental harm? A.By visiting fewer destinations. B.By avoiding all motor transport. C.By staying and eating at local places. D.By booking low-carbon package tours 第3页共8页 3/8 25.What can we infer about slow travel from paragraph3? .A.It allows tourists to live with residents. B.It turns local handicrafts into souvenirs. C.It encourages tourists to record local history. D.It boosts local economy and cultural heritage. 26.What does the underlined word"feasible"probably mean? A.valuable B.essential C.worthwhile D.practicable 27.What is the passage mainly about? A.The benefits and future development of slow travel. B.The environmental and cultural impacts of slow travel. C.Travel companies'adaptation to the trend of slow travel. D.The rising popularity of slow travel and its driving factors C For decades,scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body.Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier,it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system.Then,about 20 years ago,some researchers began to wonder:is the brain really so separated from the body?The answer,according to a growing body of evidence,is no. The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing.Changes in the make-up of the microorganisms(in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson's disease.There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy()could lead to brain diseases in babies. The effect is two-way.There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system,but the brain plays a large part in them.For example,the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite.Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses.If some brain disorders start outside the brain,perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside.Treatments that take effect through the digestive system,the heart or other organs,would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. It also works in the opposite direction.Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation.Activation of the brain reward centre-called the ventral tegmental area(VTA)-seems to cause immune changes that contribute to immunity.Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers,enhance responses to vaccines()and even re-evaluate physical diseases that,for centuries,have not been considered as being psychologically driven. 28.What do the researchers focus on about the brain? A.Its protecting system. B.Its exposure to diseases. C.Its controlling function. D.Its connection to the body. 29.How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? 4A.By explaining a theory. B.By providing examples. C.By making comparisons. D.By presenting cause and effect. 30.Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier? A.Cheaper.B.More specific.C.Safer. D.More direct. 31.What does the study suggest in the last paragraph? A.Brain health depends on immune changes. B.Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions C.The brain can help enhance psychological health 第4页共8页 4/8 D.The brain may be key to treating physical diseases. D As universities hold graduation ceremonies this summer,many new degree holders face a challenging reality. While they hope to start their careers,a tight job market may extend their search.Recent data indicates a significant drop in opportunities for graduates,with one report showing a 33%decrease in listed jobs compared to last year-the lowest level since 2018. Two main factors explain this trend.First,general economic uncertainty has made employers more cautious about hiring.Second,and more specifically,opportunities in professional fieldssuch as law,finance,and consulting-are shrinking particularly fast.Artificial intelligence(Al)is beginning to change the nature of entry- level work.Tasks that once helped young graduates learn,like data gathering and basic analysis,are now often handled by AI.Some companies report using AI for most routine work,while others hire fewer graduates, expecting AI to improve efficiency. This situation creates serious difficulties for graduates.Many enter the job market during a period of slower economic growth and carry large student debts.A weak job market at the start of their careers could have long- term effects.Additionally,AI is changing the hiring process.Some companies now use software to screen job applications first,which might accidentally filter out good candidates.If companies focus only on cutting costs now and ignore the need to train young talent,it could create unfairness between generations. Government and business leaders are aware of the issue.Officials encourage people to learn AI skills and plan training programs.However,more focus is needed on helping young people enter today's digital workplace. The decline in traditional starter jobs should be a clear warning.For the country's future,the energy and skills of this generation are too valuable to waste.Companies may need to redesign early career paths,and governments should support this transition.Technological progress should not come at the cost of leaving young people behind. Their success is essential for shaping tomorrow's world. 32.According to the first paragraph,what indicates a tough job market for new graduates? A.Many graduates choose to extend their search in job hunting. B.Listed job opportunities have seen a significant yearly decline. C.The average time to find a job has shortened compared to last year. D.Employers are showing less interest in graduates from certain majors. 33.Why are opportunities shrinking faster in fields like law and finance? A.Because graduates show no interest in these fields anymore. B.Because artificial intelligence is taking over many entry-level tasks. C.Because the government has adopted stricter regulations on these industries. D.Because global competition has knocked out most companies in these fields. 34.What is the main focus of paragraph three? .A.The challenges facing new graduates. B.The causes of slower economic growth. C.The solutions to student debt problems. D.The detailed workings of AI screening software. 35.What does the author imply about the solution to the challenges A.It depends solely on graduates'own efforts to learn new skills. B.It has already been effectively solved through training programs. C.It requires a joint effort from both businesses and the government. D.It will be automatically solved as the economy improves over time. 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。 第5页共8页 5/8 Holidays abrad are easicr than ever thanks to smartphones.With the autumn weather fast approaching.it's the perfect time of year to jet off and get away from hustles and bustles.3 Here are some top tips to make sure you're not caught out on your break abroad.

Leo and Maya,members of the Environmental Club,passed by the mess every day.It frustrated them."It's not that people don't want to recycle,"Leo observed one afternoon,watching a student try and fail to throw a plastic bottle into the overflowing bin from two steps away."It's just that this setup isn't working."Maya nodded, her eyes fixed on the chaos."The bins are identical,the signs are small and worn out,and there's no interest in taking that extra second to aim correctly." Their idea was simple.They believed the solution wasn't scolding or more rules,but a clever design."What if we make it impossible to ignore and fun to do?"Maya suggested,recalling a psychology concept about nudging (positive behavior-the idea that small,thoughtful changes in the environment can effortlessly guide people toward better choices. After getting a quick approval from their science teacher and the cleaning staff,they spent an afternoon brainstorming.They decided to redesign the recycling station to be more engaging and user-friendly.They wanted to create something that would catch the eye,guide the hand,and maybe even bring a smile.Their plan required no special tools.no complex technology,and almost no money-just creativity,some art supplies,and a bit of teamwork. 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。 With a box of donated paint,brushes,and some old cardboard,Leo and Maya started their project after school.
