Time Out has revealed their annual list of the best activities around the world, from a canoe trip in Australia to wildlife encounters in Singapore. Here’s part of the ultimate travel bucket list for this year.

Go on a wildlife-spotting adventure in Singapore’s new Rainforest Park
The Mandai Wildlife Reserve is opening its fifth zoological park, Rainforest Wild Asia, this year, with 10 different zones, as well as 29 different species of animals, perfect for a family outing.
Visit the Musée Granet celebrating the father of post-impressionism
Aix-en-Provence in France is celebrating the life of post-impressionist painter Paul Cezanne in his hometown, with the exhibition displaying almost 100 of Cèzanne’s works, as well as tours around the artist’s childhood home, former estate and art studio.

Italy’s capital will celebrate its spiritual Jubilee this year, a Catholic festivity that’s held every 25 years, with Italy expert Rebecca Ann Hughes recommending the Seven Churches holy journey, “which began in the 16th century and involves a 25km walk through the city and countryside between the important churches.”

Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat.
We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. Apparently, he didn’t expect a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that life will reward you for your gift to Amy today.”
I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can bring warmth and hope to those in need.
4. What do we know about the author?
A. He ran a convenience store. B. He worked as a volunteer.
C. He was a motorbike racer. D. He had a physical disability.

Ten years after the publication of her well-known first novel, The Girls, Emma Cline returns with a book that thinks about some of life’s biggest questions.
The author’s next novel, Switzy, will hit shelves this summer from Random House. PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the cover.
In Switzy, retired executive David Hastings sets out on a personal pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) as he begins to lose his memory. Accompanied by his personal assistant Cody, the two begin a voyage together,including stops in London to see David's daughter and a trip to France to meet with an old friend, before David makes his final stop in Zurich.
As readers stow away on David’s worldwide trip, they are taken into his mind as he struggles with his memories of childhood, losses and mistakes.
Publisher Random House calls the novel “engaging and surprisingly original,” as it explores“what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the false ideas he's relied on, disappear.”
Cline, a recipient of the O’ Henry Award, is also the author of the 2023 novel The Guest, as well as the 2020 short story collection Daddy. Across her work, she’s explored characters in various situations and settings, such as a 1960s extreme group and a fascinating summer home on modern day Long Island.
Switzy presented a new, internal battle to explore through her character, the author explains. “Assisted dying offers humans the strange gift of knowing exactly when we are to die,” Cline says in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “Let’s say the exit is planned for a certain Tuesday morning at 7 am. How would this knowledge pressurize your remaining days? Your final night, your last meal, your last glimpse of sunlight?”
8. What is the novel Switzy mainly about?
A. A daughter’s care for her father. B. A man’s reflection on life and time.
C. A wonderful trip across Europe. D. A writer’s creation of her works.
9. What does the underlined phrase “stow away on” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Hide secretly. B. Look back on.
C. Break away from. D. Go along with.
10. What can we learn about Emma Cline?
A. She has published several works. B. She wrote Switzy with her assistant.
C. She won an award for The Girls. D. She sets most stories in London.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a tourist center. B. To remember a famous writer.
C. To advertise a new novel. D. To review a classic story.
D
Mosquitoes are once again in the news, due to rising concerns of the diseases they can carry and transmit to humans. In late August, residents of Oxford, Massachusetts, were asked to stay home — an effort to protect them from a rare but potentially deadly disease.
While there are several easy ways to help protect yourself against mosquito-borne diseases, there’s another solution that sounds appealing whenever news of mosquito-borne illnesses reaches a fever point: What if we could just make all the mosquitoes disappear? And would there be any consequences for their ecosystems — or for us?
Of course, no one knows for certain what a world would look like without mosquitoes.“Removing mosquitoes entirely could have consequences we can't predict,” says Ann Froschauer, a public affairs specialist for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The primary problem is that we don’t know enough about how mosquitoes fit into the food chain — even though there are around 3,500 species of mosquito on this planet. Plenty of research has revealed the position on the food chain of bigger mammals, such as lions or leopards. And for good reason — they’re much easier to observe than tiny mosquitoes, which often breed in temporary pools of water.
What we do know is that mosquitoes of all ages and sexes serve as a food source for all kinds of creatures, such as fish, turtles, dragonflies, migratory songbirds, and bats. Perhaps more than any other animal, bats are often considered as the mosquito’s greatest enemy. Surely removing all the mosquitoes would affect bats more than most?
Not so, says Winifred Frick, a bat biologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Most bats are actually generalist predators, meaning they eat whatever they can catch — mosquito, beetle, or otherwise.“There aren’t any bat species that specialize specifically on mosquitoes,” says Frick. In fact, some mosquito species are most active during the day, meaning bats would have very few opportunities to feed on them at all.
Obviously, if you remove an animal from these ecosystems, something would change, says MarmKilpatrick, a disease ecologist at the University of California-Santa Cruz. But would the impact be something the average person would notice?
“I’ ll say that we don’t know the answer, but my hunch would be no,” says Kilpatrick.
12. Why were Oxford residents asked to stay home?
A. To avoid mosquito-borne disease. B. To kill mosquitoes in their homes.
C. To protest the government’s inaction. D. To prevent a violent incident.
13. Why is it hard to know mosquitoes’ position in the food chain?
A. They have too many species. B. They are difficult to observe.
C. They breed in hidden places. D. They are eaten by many animals.
14. What does Winifred Frick think about the effect of removing mosquitoes on bats?
A. It will cause bats’ extinction. B. It will make bats starve to death.
C. It will change bats’ living habits. D. It will have little effect on bats.
15. What is the main topic of the text?
A. How to fight mosquito-borne diseases. B. Why mosquitoes are harmful to humans.
C. What happens if mosquitoes disappear. D. How mosquitoes affect the ecosystem.

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。
It was Friday evening. I stood in the kitchen cooking dinner. My husband and daughter were upstairs watching TV. I looked out at the day sky transitioning to night. My seventeen-year-old son, Ayush, would be home soon. We’d soon be seated eating fried rice and chicken masala chops — one of my son’s favorites.
The phone rang. A lady on the other side said, “Ayush Saha?”
I said, “Yes, I am the mother.”
She said, “I am calling from the hospital. Your son is here, and you need to come here immediately.”
A hot wave of panic rushed up my spine. “Is he OK? What happened?” I asked.
She replied, “I cannot tell you over the phone. You need to come here.”
My husband, my daughter and I rushed to the hospital trauma center. My son lay unconscious. Bruises and blood covered his face. Tubes hung from his body. Monitors beeped, bleeped and buzzed. Doctors and nurses rushed around him. One nurse gently wiped the blood from his forehead, and I noticed his favorite basketball bracelet — the one I’d given him for his seventeenth birthday — was broken, lying on the side table beside his bed.
A nurse asked, “Are you the mom?”
I nodded. I could not speak. He said, “Your son met with an accident and is in a coma (昏迷).”
I wanted to ask, “Is he going to be OK?” Instead, my whole body shook. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. The nurse gave me water and brought me a chair to sit down. I felt numb. My head went blank, my throat dry. I was in a daze. My husband and daughter held me to stop me from shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. My husband whispered comforting words, but I could barely hear him — all I could focus on was Ayush’ s still body, the beeping of the monitors, and the fear that I might never hear his laughter again.
I looked at my son and thought, “Come on, Ayush. You’re strong, you can make it! I’m right here with you, and we’ll get through this together.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat.
We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. Apparently, he didn’t expect a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that life will reward you for your gift to Amy today.”
I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can bring warmth and hope to those in need.

Ten years after the publication of her well-known first novel, The Girls, Emma Cline returns with a book that thinks about some of life’s biggest questions.
The author’s next novel, Switzy, will hit shelves this summer from Random House. PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the cover.
In Switzy, retired executive David Hastings sets out on a personal pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) as he begins to lose his memory. Accompanied by his personal assistant Cody, the two begin a voyage together,including stops in London to see David's daughter and a trip to France to meet with an old friend, before David makes his final stop in Zurich.
As readers stow away on David’s worldwide trip, they are taken into his mind as he struggles with his memories of childhood, losses and mistakes.
Publisher Random House calls the novel “engaging and surprisingly original,” as it explores“what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the false ideas he's relied on, disappear.”
Cline, a recipient of the O’ Henry Award, is also the author of the 2023 novel The Guest, as well as the 2020 short story collection Daddy. Across her work, she’s explored characters in various situations and settings, such as a 1960s extreme group and a fascinating summer home on modern day Long Island.
Switzy presented a new, internal battle to explore through her character, the author explains. “Assisted dying offers humans the strange gift of knowing exactly when we are to die,” Cline says in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “Let’s say the exit is planned for a certain Tuesday morning at 7 am. How would this knowledge pressurize your remaining days? Your final night, your last meal, your last glimpse of sunlight?”
8. What is the novel Switzy mainly about?
A. A daughter’s care for her father. B. A man’s reflection on life and time.
C. A wonderful trip across Europe. D. A writer’s creation of her works.
9. What does the underlined phrase “stow away on” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Hide secretly. B. Look back on.
C. Break away from. D. Go along with.
10. What can we learn about Emma Cline?
A. She has published several works. B. She wrote Switzy with her assistant.
C. She won an award for The Girls. D. She sets most stories in London.
11. What is the purpose of the text?

C. To advertise a new novel. D. To review a classic story.

Mosquitoes are once again in the news, due to rising concerns of the diseases they can carry and transmit to humans. In late August, residents of Oxford, Massachusetts, were asked to stay home — an effort to protect them from a rare but potentially deadly disease.
While there are several easy ways to help protect yourself against mosquito-borne diseases, there’s another solution that sounds appealing whenever news of mosquito-borne illnesses reaches a fever point: What if we could just make all the mosquitoes disappear? And would there be any consequences for their ecosystems — or for us?
Of course, no one knows for certain what a world would look like without mosquitoes.“Removing mosquitoes entirely could have consequences we can't predict,” says Ann Froschauer, a public affairs specialist for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The primary problem is that we don’t know enough about how mosquitoes fit into the food chain — even though there are around 3,500 species of mosquito on this planet. Plenty of research has revealed the position on the food chain of bigger mammals, such as lions or leopards. And for good reason — they’re much easier to observe than tiny mosquitoes, which often breed in temporary pools of water.
What we do know is that mosquitoes of all ages and sexes serve as a food source for all kinds of creatures, such as fish, turtles, dragonflies, migratory songbirds, and bats. Perhaps more than any other animal, bats are often considered as the mosquito’s greatest enemy. Surely removing all the mosquitoes would affect bats more than most?
Not so, says Winifred Frick, a bat biologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Most bats are actually generalist predators, meaning they eat whatever they can catch — mosquito, beetle, or otherwise.“There aren’t any bat species that specialize specifically on mosquitoes,” says Frick. In fact, some mosquito species are most active during the day, meaning bats would have very few opportunities to feed on them at all.
Obviously, if you remove an animal from these ecosystems, something would change, says MarmKilpatrick, a disease ecologist at the University of California-Santa Cruz. But would the impact be something the average person would notice?
“I’ ll say that we don’t know the answer, but my hunch would be no,” says Kilpatrick.
12. Why were Oxford residents asked to stay home?
A. To avoid mosquito-borne disease. B. To kill mosquitoes in their homes.
C. To protest the government’s inaction. D. To prevent a violent incident.
13. Why is it hard to know mosquitoes’ position in the food chain?
A. They have too many species. B. They are difficult to observe.
C. They breed in hidden places. D. They are eaten by many animals.
14. What does Winifred Frick think about the effect of removing mosquitoes on bats?
A. It will cause bats’ extinction. B. It will make bats starve to death.
C. It will change bats’ living habits. D. It will have little effect on bats.
15. What is the main topic of the text?
A. How to fight mosquito-borne diseases. B. Why mosquitoes are harmful to humans.
C. What happens if mosquitoes disappear. D. How mosquitoes affect the ecosystem.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了如果地球上的蚊子全部消失,会对生态系统以及人类产生怎样的影响,并结合食物链、生物习性等角度展开分析与探讨。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Mosquitoes are once again in the news (蚊子再次成为热议话题)”及“In late August, residents of Oxford, Massachusetts, were asked to stay home — an effort to protect them from a rare but potentially deadly disease.(八月下旬,马萨诸塞州牛津市的居民被要求留在家中,此举是为了保护他们免受一种罕见但可能致命的疾病的侵害。)” 可知,当地居民被要求居家是为了避开蚊媒疾病。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“And for good reason — they’re much easier to observe than tiny mosquitoes, which often breed in temporary pools of water. (这是有充分理由的 —— 大型哺乳动物比小小的蚊子更容易被观察到,蚊子通常在临时水洼中繁殖。)” 可知,蚊子难以被观察,导致人类难以弄清其在食物链中的位置。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第六段“Most bats are actually generalist predators, meaning they eat whatever they can catch — mosquito, beetle, or otherwise. (多数蝙蝠其实属于广谱捕食者,也就是说,它们抓到什么就吃什么 —— 蚊子、甲虫,或是其他各类昆虫。)” 可知,消灭蚊子对蝙蝠几乎没有什么影响。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第二段“What if we could just make all the mosquitoes disappear? And would there be any consequences for their ecosystems — or for us? (倘若我们能让所有蚊子彻底消失,会怎么样?这会对生态系统或是我们人类造成什么后果吗?)” 及全文内容可知,全文围绕蚊子消失后会发生什么展开论述。

The concept of cybersecurity dates back to the 1960s,____39____ the United States Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) funded a project to create a network of computers that could communicate with each other. This project,____40____ (call) ARPANET, was the forerunner to the modern-day Internet.

37. significantly
38. has become
39. when 40. called
41. was discovered
42. to gain
43. to 44. the
45. global
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍网络安全的重要性及其发展历程,从早期ARPANET到现代高级威胁和勒索软件,展现网络威胁的演变趋势。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着技术的快速发展和对互联网依赖的增加,网络威胁的风险也显著上升。这里应填名词作介词宾语,grow的名词形式为growth,表“发展”,为不可数名词,符合语境。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,网络安全已成为全球个人、组织和政府的关键关切。这里为谓语动词, Cybersecurity与become为主动关系,且in recent years常与现在完成时连用,主语Cybersecurity是单数,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式has become。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:网络安全这一概念可追溯至20世纪60年代,当时美国国防部高级研究计划局(ARPA)资助了一个项目,旨在创建一个能够实现计算机之间相互通信的网络。这里为定语从句,先行词the 1960s,表时间,在从句中作时间状语,应用关系副词when引导。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个名为ARPANET的项目是现代互联网的前身。此空为非谓语,project与call为被动关系,再由语境可知,应用过去分词called作定语。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:最著名的早期网络威胁之一是 1971 年发现的 “爬行者” 病毒。这里为谓语动词,the“Creeper”virus与discover为被动关系,时间为1971年,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数,所以用was discovered。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:21世纪10年代见证了高级持续性威胁(APT)的兴起,这是一种高级网络攻击,通过使用被感染的文件来获取对网络的未授权访问。分析句子结构可知,这里应用不定式作目的状语,表示目的,符合语境。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:21世纪10年代见证了高级持续性威胁(APT)的兴起,这是一种高级网络攻击,通过使用被感染的文件来获取对网络的未授权访问。这里考查固定搭配access to,表示“进入……的权限”,符合语境。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:21 世纪 10 年代也见证了勒索软件的出现,这种恶意软件会锁定受害者的数据,并要求支付赎金以换取解锁密码。分析句子结构可知,这里应填定冠词the,特指勒索软件的出现。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:根据网络安全风险投资公司(Cybersecurity Ventures)的一份报告,到 2025 年,全球勒索软件造成的损失预计将达到200亿美元。这里应填形容词修饰名词costs,globe的形容词形式为global,表“全球的”,符合语境。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
It was Friday evening. I stood in the kitchen cooking dinner. My husband and daughter were upstairs watching TV. I looked out at the day sky transitioning to night. My seventeen-year-old son, Ayush, would be home soon. We’d soon be seated eating fried rice and chicken masala chops — one of my son’s favorites.
The phone rang. A lady on the other side said, “Ayush Saha?”
I said, “Yes, I am the mother.”
She said, “I am calling from the hospital. Your son is here, and you need to come here immediately.”
A hot wave of panic rushed up my spine. “Is he OK? What happened?” I asked.
She replied, “I cannot tell you over the phone. You need to come here.”
My husband, my daughter and I rushed to the hospital trauma center. My son lay unconscious. Bruises and blood covered his face. Tubes hung from his body. Monitors beeped, bleeped and buzzed. Doctors and nurses rushed around him. One nurse gently wiped the blood from his forehead, and I noticed his favorite basketball bracelet — the one I’d given him for his seventeenth birthday — was broken, lying on the side table beside his bed.
A nurse asked, “Are you the mom?”
I nodded. I could not speak. He said, “Your son met with an accident and is in a coma (昏迷).”
I wanted to ask, “Is he going to be OK?” Instead, my whole body shook. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. The nurse gave me water and brought me a chair to sit down. I felt numb. My head went blank, my throat dry. I was in a daze. My husband and daughter held me to stop me from shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. My husband whispered comforting words, but I could barely hear him — all I could focus on was Ayush’ s still body, the beeping of the monitors, and the fear that I might never hear his laughter again.
I looked at my son and thought, “Come on, Ayush. You’re strong, you can make it! I’m right here with you, and we’ll get through this together.”

My son was a smart, athletic and happy teenager in his senior year of high school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now conscious, Ayush had further challenges to face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
My son was a smart, athletic and happy teenager in his senior year of high school. He had dreams of becoming a software engineer and had just received his college acceptance letter. The basketball trophy he won last week still shone on the shelf at home. Every memory — his laughter echoing in the hallway, his focused expression while studying, his energetic dash out the door each morning — flooded my mind, sharp and cruel against the sterile hospital silence. We took shifts by his bedside, holding his hand, playing his favorite music, and talking to him about everything, clinging to the hope that he could hear us, that our love could somehow reach him in the darkness.
Now conscious, Ayush had further challenges to face. The accident left him with significant physical limitations and gaps in his memory. The once agile athlete now had to relearn how to walk, struggling through grueling physiotherapy sessions. More heartbreaking for him was the fog clouding his academic knowledge, forcing him to study alongside students much younger. But the boy who fought his way out of the coma began a new fight — a slower, quieter battle of rehabilitation. With the same determination he once used on the basketball court, he practiced each movement, reviewed each lesson, slowly reclaiming fragments of his former life, one steadfast step at a time.
