If you’re looking for a truly original country to visit, then Myanmar is the place. Whether you are looking for culture, history, nature, or cuisine, you will find a place to suit your taste here. Below are four popular tourist destinations in Myanmar.
Yangon
Yangon has a large population, but the city doesn’t seem crowded. There are trees everywhere, which gives it a totally different feel from other Asian cities. At night, Yangon’s wide streets come alive with stalls (货摊) selling delicious food. The most famous temple is the gold-plated Shwedagon Paya. The colonial architecture of the Strand Hotel is another great sight.
Mandalay
Picturesque Mandalay is famous for being the old royal capital of Myanmar. In the past, Burmese kings would have lived in the city and you can still see some of their palaces in evidence. Mandalay is also known for its Chinese and Indian immigrants. One of the best things to do here is to spend time enjoying the varied cuisines on offer. Its scenic mountains and beautiful waterfalls are what visitors should not miss.
Bagan
Travelers with a passion for Buddhist temples should have a field day in Bagan, since it contains the most of these in the world. The most popular destination in Bagan was the capital of the First Burmese Empire from the 9th to the 13th centuries. Today the site is still home to thousands of temples and pagodas, including the famous Ananda Temple with its sparkling gold spires.
Kalaw
If you want to explore the rural and natural beauty of Myanmar, Kalaw is a must-go place. When trekking (长途跋涉) through the hills of Kalaw, you will experience the diverse landscapes, cultures, and lifestyles of the local people, as well as enjoy the fresh air and scenic views. You will need a guide to show you the way and arrange your accommodation.

Sandesh Kadur, a National Geographic Explorer, has spent 25 years documenting rare wildlife, transforming his childhood passion into a mission to protect Earth’s fragile ecosystems.
When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders.
At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist(昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating(注释)the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling.
In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status.
Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.”
4. What led Kadur into nature?
A. Fever for big cats. B. Love for adventure.
C. Curiosity about filming. D. Fascination with Jim’s tales.
5. What was his father’s influence on him?
A. Teaching him photography skills.
B. Introducing him to documentary work.
C. Helping him regain love for storytelling.
D. Arousing his curiosity about scientific details.
6. What is Kadur’s opinion about visual storytelling?
A. It well entertains audiences. B. It serves as a bridge for nature.
C. Its value lies in expression skills. D. Its impact depends on technology.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Kadur?
A. Passionate and dedicated. B. Talented and ambitious.
C. Independent and committed. D. Responsible and generous.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了《国家地理》探险家Sandesh Kadur用25年时间记录珍稀野生动物,将童年的热爱转化为保护地球脆弱生态系统的使命的故事。

Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders.(小时候,Kadur就被吉姆·科贝特关于大型猫科动物的故事所吸引。受此启发,他曾和一位朋友骑自行车进入丛林,在水潭边观察大型猫科动物。晚上,他们真的看到了一只大猫。沐浴在月光下,他意识到自己的人生目标:捕捉并分享大自然的奇观)”可知,是吉姆的故事让Kadur投身于大自然。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist (昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things.

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants.(通过视觉讲故事,Kadur让观众一窥鲜为人知的自然世界,敦促他们保护其中脆弱的生物)”可知,Kadur认为视觉讲故事是大自然与人类之间的桥梁。故选B。

C
One of Twitter’s main characters recently was a man who chose to keep his middle seat between a couple on a flight instead of moving to the side. The situation raised some questions: Who are these middle-seat lovers? What do they want?
Many of the thousands of replies suggested that the majority of the flying public cannot understand why someone would ever choose the middle over a window or an aisle (走廊). But among the majority appeared a few people who endorse middle seats. “In the middle seat I don’t feel I should lean one way or another and generally sit pretty comfortably,” one person wrote. Another added: “I’m not getting hit by someone walking down the aisle or luggage either.”
Kyle Burke, in Florida, said on Twitter that he usually exchanged seats when asked. “I didn’t want to sit between a couple that were upset with me,” he told The Washington Post. At 6-foot-7, Burke, 41, said he didn’t fit well in plane seats, anyway. So, he preferred the middle, which gives him double chance of having a chatty neighbor.
Frederick resident Samantha Jones told The Post by email that she usually chose the middle seat when traveling alone. As a mother of three, “Having personal space is a far-off memory.” she said. “Middle seats have the least amount of responsibility,” she wrote. “I don’t control the window shade and only have to get by one person to get out or to go to the bathroom.”
Despite the few fans, middle seats are still not likely to get much respect. “There’s nothing good in the middle seat,” Scott McCartney, the writer of the journal Middle Seat said. “The position’s infamy (臭名昭著) was part of the reason for the journal’s name.” He added: “People really care about the ‘middle seat’, so they are more likely to pick up this magazine on seeing it.”
8. How does the author start the text?
A. By challenging a common belief. B. By raising a couple’s questions.
C. By comparing travelers’ preferences. D. By presenting an unusual seat choice.
9. What does the underlined word “endorse” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Exchange. B. Resist. C. Support. D. Indicate.
10. Why does Samantha prefer the middle seat?
A. It provides larger space. B. It reduces unnecessary trouble.
C. It avoids family responsibilities. D. It offers networking opportunities.
11. Why did Scott choose “Middle Seat” as the name of his journal?
A. To catch readers’ eyes. B. To voice his own taste.
C. To make people think. D. To urge airlines to change.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了一个关于飞机上中间座位的讨论,许多人表示,大多数乘坐飞机的人无法理解为什么有人会选择中间的座位,而不是靠窗或靠过道的座位。但在大多数人中,出现了一些支持中间席位的人。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One of Twitter’s main characters recently was a man who chose to keep his middle seat between a couple on a flight instead of moving to the side. The situation raised some questions: Who are these middle-seat lovers? What do they want?(最近推特上的一个主角是一名男子,他在飞机上选择坐在一对夫妇中间的座位,而不是挪到旁边。这种情况引发了一些问题:这些爱坐在中间的人是谁?他们想要什么?)”可推知,作者通过提供一个不寻常的座位选择开始这篇文章。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““In the middle seat I don’t feel I should lean one way or another and generally sit pretty comfortably,” one person wrote. Another added: “I’m not getting hit by someone walking down the aisle or luggage either.”(“在中间的座位上,我觉得我不会朝这边或那边倾斜,通常坐得很舒服,”一个人写道。另一个人补充道:“我不会被过道上走过的人或行李撞到。”)”可知,后文列举了两个支持中间座位的人,故划线词意思是“支持”。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As a mother of three, “Having personal space is a far-off memory.” she said. “Middle seats have the least amount of responsibility,” she wrote. “I don’t control the window shade and only have to get by one person to get out or to go to the bathroom.”(作为三个孩子的母亲,“拥有私人空间是一个遥远的记忆。她说。“中间座位的责任最少,”她写道。“我不能控制窗帘,出去或上厕所只需要经过一个人。”)”可知,萨曼莎喜欢中间的座位是为了减少不必要的麻烦。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He added: “People really care about the ‘middle seat’, so they are more likely to pick up this magazine on seeing it.”(他补充说:“人们真的很在乎‘中间座位’,所以他们更有可能在拿起这本杂志时看到它。”)”可知,斯科特选择“中间座位”作为他日记的名字是为了吸引读者的眼球。故选A。
D
Weighted blankets(毯子), which have been advertised as a solution to anxiety and poor sleep, have gone from a not-well-known tool to a common wellness must-have, with producers saying they’ll bring better sleep and less stress to people. But do they keep these promises?
Sleep researchers have used weighted blankets since the 1970s to help children with autism, a kind of mental problem, and adults with sensory problems. They appeared on the market in the1990s, but most were only used by people with special needs.
Things changed a lot in recent years. Companies started focusing on what they call “people who feel anxious sometimes”— basically anyone having trouble with modern life’s stress. The ads worked: Time magazine even said the weighted blanket was one of the top 50 “inventions” of 2018.
The idea behind weighted blankets is simple. They usually weigh 2 to 13 kilograms— around 10% of your body weight. They use what occupational therapists call “deep pressure stimulation (压力刺激)”. The soft, steady pressure on your body makes you feel like being held.
A study of 120 psychiatric patients found that weighted blankets improved sleep quality over four weeks in people with some health problems, like depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and ADHD. Smaller studies have shown similar results. One found that 63% of adults reported lower anxiety after just five minutes under a weighted blanket, while another study of psychiatric patients found 60% experienced reduced anxiety during their hospital stay.
However, these studies all focused on people with mental health conditions, not the general population that companies are now focusing on. There’s not enough evidence(证据) that they do good to common users who don’t have mental health problems.
This doesn’t mean weighted blankets are totally useless for healthy people. Shift workers — who have to sleep during the day — might find them helpful. They can fight the known health problems from irregular schedules. Healthcare workers, firefighters and pilots need short, useful naps. These blankets could help them fall asleep faster.
If a weighted blanket makes you feel calmer and sleep better, even if it doesn’t work like producers say, that’s still good. Just make sure you know what you’re buying.
12. What do weighted blankets promise to solve?
A. Sleeplessness. B. Weight problems. C. Headache. D. Forgetfulness.
13. How does the weighted blanket work?
A. By fixing users’ sleeping time. B. By working out users’ body weight.
C. By bringing users a pleasant feeling. D. By copying the feeling of sleeping in bed.
14. What does the author think of weighted blankets?
A. They are useless for healthy people.
B. They will have a very hopeful future ahead.
C. They are helpful to certain groups of people.
D. They may cause some mental health problems.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Science Behind Deep Pressure
B. Who Gets Most from Weighted Blankets?
C. Weighted Blankets: From Special Needs to Daily Use
D. Do Weighted Blankets Really Live Up to Their Wellness Promises?
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕重力毯“是否符合其健康承诺”展开,介绍了其从针对特殊需求群体的小众工具转变为主流健康产品的历程,阐述了它的工作原理、相关研究结果,以及对普通健康人群的实际作用与价值。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Weighted blankets(毯子), which have been advertised as a solution to anxiety and poor sleep, have gone from a not-well-known tool to a common wellness must-have, with producers saying they’ll bring better sleep and less stress to people.(重力毯,宣传为一种缓解焦虑、改善睡眠的方案,已从一种鲜为人知的工具,变成了常见的健康必备品。生产商说,这类毯子能为人们带来更优质的睡眠,还能减轻压力。)”可知,重力毯被推广为解决焦虑和失眠问题的方案。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“They use what occupational therapists call “deep pressure stimulation(压力刺激)”. The soft, steady pressure on your body makes you feel like being held.(它们运用了职业治疗师所说的“深度压力刺激”原理。毯子施加在身体上的柔和且持续的压力,会让人产生被拥抱的感觉。)”可知,重力毯通过在身体上施加柔和均匀的压力,模拟被拥抱的感觉发挥作用,即让用户产生很舒适的愉悦感。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段中“Healthcare workers, firefighters and pilots need short, useful naps. These blankets could help them fall asleep faster.(医护人员、消防员和飞行员需要短暂且有效的小憩。这类毯子能帮助他们更快入睡。)”可知,重力毯对于某些人群人来说是有用的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要围绕重力毯“是否符合其健康承诺”展开,介绍了其从针对特殊需求群体的小众工具转变为主流健康产品的历程,阐述了它的工作原理、相关研究结果,以及对普通健康人群的实际作用与价值。所以最佳标题为“重力毯真的能兑现它们所宣称的健康功效吗?”。故选D。

根据短文内容,从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English. ____16____ Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively.
____17____ Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes. For instance, translating “my wife is gluten-free (不能吃面筋)” into French or Italian as “my wife is without gluten” misses the intended meaning: However, competitors offer better alternatives. ____18____ It offers no direct translations, but imitates a native speaker’s input.
While AI tools make travel easier, some worry they discourage language learning. Douglas Hofstadter, a language expert, argues that relying on machines for communication robs people of meaningful experiences and accomplishments. However, others believe most people don’t need fluency for casual travel. ____19____
As AI translation gains popularity, people may divide into two groups: those eager to learn languages for cultural experience and mental challenge, and those who see it as unnecessary effort. This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs. ____20____ Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology.
A. Yet, these tools aren’t perfect.
B. And they prefer the convenience of AI.
C. It is a paraphrase rather than a translation.
D. Travel has long been a motivator for study.
E. Despite this, the social significance of language remains.
F. This leads them to rely on gestures, patience, or technology.
G. ChatGPT stands out by creating natural-sounding paraphrases.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了AI翻译工具的优缺点。
【16题详解】
前文“When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English.(旅行时,许多人发现自己在当地语言不熟悉的地方。曾经,旅行者依赖于常用语手册,但英语的传播减少了这种需求。然而,世界上大多数人仍然不会说英语)”提到“旅行时很多人会身处不熟悉当地语言的地方,虽然英语的传播减少了对常用语手册的依赖,但世界上大多数人仍不会说英语”。选项F“This leads them to rely on gestures, patience, or technology.(这导致他们依靠手势、耐心或技术)”中“this”指代前文人们身处陌生语言环境且多数人不会英语的情况,自然地引出后文人们使用免费翻译应用程序这一技术手段来解决问题。故选F。
【17题详解】
前文“Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively.(越来越多的旅行者使用免费的翻译软件。这些应用程序允许用户对着手机说话,并几乎立即收到语音翻译,有效地弥合了语言差距)”指出翻译软件的作用,但下文的例子“Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes.(谷歌翻译,一个众所周知的名字,经常犯错误)”指出“谷歌翻译常出错”,所以,空格处的句子应该是一个转折句,由翻译软件的作用转到其缺点上来,所以,选项A“Yet, these tools aren’t perfect.(然而,这些工具并不完美)”符合语境,“these tools”指代前文的翻译软件,“然而”表示转折,引出后文对谷歌翻译不完美的举例说明。故选A。
【18题详解】
前文“However, competitors offer better alternatives.(然而,竞争对手提供了更好的选择)”提到“谷歌翻译有错误,而其竞争对手提供了更好的选择”,后文“It offers no direct translations, but imitates a native speaker’s input.(它不提供直接翻译,而是模仿母语人士的输入)”描述了该工具“不提供直接翻译,而是模仿母语者的输入”,其中it肯定代指谷歌翻译的某一竞争对手,所以,空格处的句子应该提到谷歌翻译的竞争对手,所以选项G“ChatGPT stands out by creating natural - sounding paraphrases.(ChatGPT通过生成听起来自然的意译脱颖而出)”符合语境。“意译”与后文“模仿母语者输入”相呼应,且“脱颖而出”表明它是谷歌翻译竞争对手中的优秀代表。故选G。
【19题详解】
前文“While AI tools make travel easier, some worry they discourage language learning. Douglas Hofstadter, a language expert, argues that relying on machines for communication robs people of meaningful experiences and accomplishments. However, others believe most people don’t need fluency for casual travel.(虽然人工智能工具让旅行变得更容易,但一些人担心它们会阻碍语言学习。语言专家Douglas Hofstadter认为,依赖机器进行交流剥夺了人们有意义的经历和成就。然而,另一些人认为,大多数人在休闲旅行时不需要流利的英语)”提到“一些人担心人工智能工具会阻碍语言学习,而另一些人认为大多数人在休闲旅行中不需要流利的语言能力”。选项B“And they prefer the convenience of AI.(而且他们更喜欢人工智能的便利)”中“他们”指代前文认为旅行中不需要流利语言能力的人,进一步说明了这些人的态度,即更倾向于使用人工智能翻译工具的便利。故选B。
【20题详解】
前文“This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs.(这个问题对说英语的人来说尤其紧迫,因为许多英语国家的学校减少了外语课程)”提到“许多英语国家的学校减少了外语课程”,下文“Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology.(直接交流,即使不完美,也比依赖技术带来更深层次的联系)”强调“直接交流,即使不完美,也比依赖技术能带来更深入的联系”。所以,空格处的句子应该是转折句,同时指出“语言的交流作用”,所以选项E“Despite this, the social significance of language remains.(尽管如此,语言的社会意义仍然存在)”符合语境。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同文化背景下人们对友谊的看法差异,以及这些差异如何影响跨文化友谊的建立。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:从运动到看电影,共同经历是人们成为朋友的一个基本原因。“ 1 people become friends”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词reason,关系词将其代入定语从句中作原因状语,应使用关系副词why引导该从句。故填why。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我们注意到,他们似乎有很多朋友,这些朋友属于不同的社交圈。“ 2 belong to different social circles”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词friends,指人,关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词who或that引导该从句。故填who/that。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:对美国人来说,交朋友相当快速和容易,“朋友”这个词使用得相当广泛。提示词修饰动词used,用副词widely作状语,意为“广泛地”。故填widely。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,在许多东方文化中,如中国和韩国,建立真正的友谊需要更多的时间和努力。take(需要)是谓语动词,与主语building a true friendship之间是主动关系,描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语是动名词短语,谓语动词用单数形式。故填takes。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:友谊建立在深厚的情感纽带和强烈的责任感之上。a sense of...是固定短语,意为“……感”,且strong发音以辅音音素开头,应不定冠词用a修饰。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:朋友之间期望在需要的时候互相帮助,这在东方文化中非常重要。expect(期望)是主句中谓语动词,与主语Friends之间是被动关系,描述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数名词,谓语动词用复数形式。故填are expected。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在“直接”文化中,诚实被高度重视,被认为是真正友谊的特征,即使真相令人不舒服。提示词作表语,用形容词uncomfortable,意为“不舒服的”。故填uncomfortable。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:他们认为,真正的朋友应该不用把一切都说出来就能理解他们的感受。根据句意,表示“不用把一切都说出来”,用介词without构成介词短语without saying everything作状语,符合语境。故填without。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:所以,如果你有机会和来自另一种文化的人交朋友,记住没有单一的“正确”方式。“ 3 (make) friends with someone from another culture”作后置定语修饰名词chance,make(结交)用非谓语形式,且名词chance常用不定式作后置定语,表示“做……的机会”。故填to make。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:意识到这些差异是建立牢固的跨文化友谊的第一步。提示词作介词of的宾语,用名词difference,意为“差异”,是可数名词,结合these可知,用复数形式。故填differences。

71. 他们认为保护环境是一个很大的挑战,但是他们从来没有放弃。
They consider ________________________, but they never_____________.
【答案】 ①. it a great challenge to protect the environment ②. give up
【解析】
【详解】考查it作形式宾语及动词短语,①空在consider后用“consider + it + 名词 + to do sth.”的结构,其中it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语,“(是)一个很大的挑战”用名词短语a great challenge,“保护环境”用动词不定式to protect the environment;②空“放弃”用固定短语give up表达,句子描述经常性、习惯性的动作,时态为一般现在时,主语they是第三人称复数,谓语动词用原形。故填① it a great challenge to protect the environment;② give up。

【解析】
【详解】考查with 复合结构和定语从句。 分析可知,第一空为 with+宾语+现在分词结构,表示宾语和宾补之间是主动的关系,“大量增加”用increasing greatly。 第二空为定语从句,先行词measures是物,关系词用that/which;“采取措施”是被动,且强调对现在造成影响,用现在完成时的被动语态have been taken。 故填increasing greatly;that/which have been taken。

_________________ when the old must ______________ the new.
【答案】 ①. There comes a time ②. give way to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和动词短语。“时代到来”可以用固定句型“There comes a time…”,这是一个完全倒装句,描述客观事实,谓语动词come用一般现在时态;“新旧更替”可理解为“旧的给新的让路”,用动词短语“give way to”作从句谓语,意为“让位给,让步给”,在情态动词must后用动词原形。故填There comes a time;give way to。
74. 正是通过加入英语社团,我才能在英语口语上取得进步。(强调句)
_________________________ I can _____________ in my oral English.
【答案】 ①. It is by joining the English club that ②. make progress
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型和动词短语。根据中文提示以及要求可知,这里考查强调句结构,为It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 其他,此处被强调部分为方式状语,用that;表示“通过加入英语社团”为by joining the English club,作方式状语;表示“取得进步”为 make progress,且情态动词can后用动词原形。故填①It is by joining the English club that; ②make progress。
75. 中国修建了越来越多的高铁,这给外国人留下了深刻印象。
More and more high-speed rails ________________ in China, which ________________ foreigners.
【答案】 ①. are being built ②. impresses
【解析】
【详解】考查现在进行时的被动语态和一般现在时。“修建”用动词build,在主句中作谓语,由句意可知,“中国修建了越来越多的高铁”表示现阶段正在进行的动作,且More and more high-speed rails与build之间为被动关系,build用现在进行时的被动语态,结构是be being done,主语rails是复数形式,be动词用are,第一空填are being built;表示“给……留下深刻印象”用动词impress,在从句作谓语,且这里时态应用一般现在时表客观情况,which指代前面整个句子,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式impresses。故填are being built;impresses。
第三部分 书面表达 (满分 30分)

【答案】范文:
Dear David,
Hi! I’m glad to share with you one of my experiences in an after class activity since I entered senior high school. I joined the school photography club, which has brought me a lot of joy and growth.
At first, I knew little about photography. But with the help of teachers and senior club members, I learned basic skills like adjusting the aperture and shutter speed. We often went on field trips to capture beautiful sceneries. One time, we visited an old town. I focused on an ancient temple and tried different angles. Finally, I took a photo that perfectly showed the temple’s solemnity against the setting sun.
This activity has not only improved my photography skills but also broadened my horizons. I’ve met many friends with the same interest, and we exchange ideas and learn from each other. Moreover, it has taught me to observe the world with a more sensitive eye and discover the beauty in the ordinary. I really enjoy this after class activity and look forward to more wonderful experiences in the club.
Yours,
Li Hua

If you’re looking for a truly original country to visit, then Myanmar is the place. Whether you are looking for culture, history, nature, or cuisine, you will find a place to suit your taste here. Below are four popular tourist destinations in Myanmar.
Yangon
Yangon has a large population, but the city doesn’t seem crowded. There are trees everywhere, which gives it a totally different feel from other Asian cities. At night, Yangon’s wide streets come alive with stalls (货摊) selling delicious food. The most famous temple is the gold-plated Shwedagon Paya. The colonial architecture of the Strand Hotel is another great sight.
Mandalay
Picturesque Mandalay is famous for being the old royal capital of Myanmar. In the past, Burmese kings would have lived in the city and you can still see some of their palaces in evidence. Mandalay is also known for its Chinese and Indian immigrants. One of the best things to do here is to spend time enjoying the varied cuisines on offer. Its scenic mountains and beautiful waterfalls are what visitors should not miss.
Bagan
Travelers with a passion for Buddhist temples should have a field day in Bagan, since it contains the most of these in the world. The most popular destination in Bagan was the capital of the First Burmese Empire from the 9th to the 13th centuries. Today the site is still home to thousands of temples and pagodas, including the famous Ananda Temple with its sparkling gold spires.
Kalaw
If you want to explore the rural and natural beauty of Myanmar, Kalaw is a must-go place. When trekking (长途跋涉) through the hills of Kalaw, you will experience the diverse landscapes, cultures, and lifestyles of the local people, as well as enjoy the fresh air and scenic views. You will need a guide to show you the way and arrange your accommodation.

Sandesh Kadur, a National Geographic Explorer, has spent 25 years documenting rare wildlife, transforming his childhood passion into a mission to protect Earth’s fragile ecosystems.
When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders.
At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist(昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating(注释)the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling.
In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time.

Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.”

One of Twitter’s main characters recently was a man who chose to keep his middle seat between a couple on a flight instead of moving to the side. The situation raised some questions: Who are these middle-seat lovers? What do they want?
Many of the thousands of replies suggested that the majority of the flying public cannot understand why someone would ever choose the middle over a window or an aisle (走廊). But among the majority appeared a few people who endorse middle seats. “In the middle seat I don’t feel I should lean one way or another and generally sit pretty comfortably,” one person wrote. Another added: “I’m not getting hit by someone walking down the aisle or luggage either.”
Kyle Burke, in Florida, said on Twitter that he usually exchanged seats when asked. “I didn’t want to sit between a couple that were upset with me,” he told The Washington Post. At 6-foot-7, Burke, 41, said he didn’t fit well in plane seats, anyway. So, he preferred the middle, which gives him double chance of having a chatty neighbor.
Frederick resident Samantha Jones told The Post by email that she usually chose the middle seat when traveling alone. As a mother of three, “Having personal space is a far-off memory.” she said. “Middle seats have the least amount of responsibility,” she wrote. “I don’t control the window shade and only have to get by one person to get out or to go to the bathroom.”
Despite the few fans, middle seats are still not likely to get much respect. “There’s nothing good in the middle seat,” Scott McCartney, the writer of the journal Middle Seat said. “The position’s infamy (臭名昭著) was part of the reason for the journal’s name.” He added: “People really care about the ‘middle seat’, so they are more likely to pick up this magazine on seeing it.”
8. How does the author start the text?
A. By challenging a common belief. B. By raising a couple’s questions.
C. By comparing travelers’ preferences. D. By presenting an unusual seat choice.
9. What does the underlined word “endorse” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Exchange. B. Resist. C. Support. D. Indicate.
10. Why does Samantha prefer the middle seat?
A. It provides larger space. B. It reduces unnecessary trouble.
C. It avoids family responsibilities. D. It offers networking opportunities.
11. Why did Scott choose “Middle Seat” as the name of his journal?
A. To catch readers’ eyes. B. To voice his own taste.
C. To make people think. D. To urge airlines to change.
D
Weighted blankets(毯子), which have been advertised as a solution to anxiety and poor sleep, have gone from a not-well-known tool to a common wellness must-have, with producers saying they’ll bring better sleep and less stress to people. But do they keep these promises?
Sleep researchers have used weighted blankets since the 1970s to help children with autism, a kind of mental problem, and adults with sensory problems. They appeared on the market in the1990s, but most were only used by people with special needs.
Things changed a lot in recent years. Companies started focusing on what they call “people who feel anxious sometimes”— basically anyone having trouble with modern life’s stress. The ads worked: Time magazine even said the weighted blanket was one of the top 50 “inventions” of 2018.
The idea behind weighted blankets is simple. They usually weigh 2 to 13 kilograms— around 10% of your body weight. They use what occupational therapists call “deep pressure stimulation (压力刺激)”. The soft, steady pressure on your body makes you feel like being held.
A study of 120 psychiatric patients found that weighted blankets improved sleep quality over four weeks in people with some health problems, like depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and ADHD. Smaller studies have shown similar results. One found that 63% of adults reported lower anxiety after just five minutes under a weighted blanket, while another study of psychiatric patients found 60% experienced reduced anxiety during their hospital stay.
However, these studies all focused on people with mental health conditions, not the general population that companies are now focusing on. There’s not enough evidence(证据) that they do good to common users who don’t have mental health problems.
This doesn’t mean weighted blankets are totally useless for healthy people. Shift workers — who have to sleep during the day — might find them helpful. They can fight the known health problems from irregular schedules. Healthcare workers, firefighters and pilots need short, useful naps. These blankets could help them fall asleep faster.
If a weighted blanket makes you feel calmer and sleep better, even if it doesn’t work like producers say, that’s still good. Just make sure you know what you’re buying.
12. What do weighted blankets promise to solve?
A. Sleeplessness. B. Weight problems. C. Headache. D. Forgetfulness.
13. How does the weighted blanket work?
A. By fixing users’ sleeping time. B. By working out users’ body weight.
C. By bringing users a pleasant feeling. D. By copying the feeling of sleeping in bed.
14. What does the author think of weighted blankets?
A. They are useless for healthy people.
B. They will have a very hopeful future ahead.
C. They are helpful to certain groups of people.
D. They may cause some mental health problems.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Science Behind Deep Pressure
B. Who Gets Most from Weighted Blankets?
C. Weighted Blankets: From Special Needs to Daily Use
D. Do Weighted Blankets Really Live Up to Their Wellness Promises?
