The Botanical Garden is a green heaven in the heart of Copenhagen, inviting you to immerse yourself in the world of nature. The Botanical Garden was laid out in 1874 according to a garden plan by landscape gardener H.A. Flindt. It was then renovated in 2012. This historic garden is part of the Natural History Museum Denmark and stands out from other parks by serving as a living museum with research, popularization of science, teaching and nature conservation as its main objectives.
Guided Tours
Experience the Botanical Garden on guided tours of Denmark’s largest scientific collection of plants from all over the world. On the tours, you will visit the romantic garden as well as the greenhouses and the famous Victorian Palm House. We will pass some of the garden’s species, which are either endangered or extinct in the wild. The guided tours are organized according to the season and the weather of the day, and the themes follow the changing of the seasons in the garden and can focus on a holiday or special events in the plant world. We also offer tours especially for families with children.
Practical information

I remember perfectly the day I applied for the math preparatory position at the School of Mechanical Engineering.
The written exam went well, so we moved onto the second stage of the competition, which consisted of explaining an exercise in front of a panel of professors. Honestly, I was very tense. To make matters worse, my hands were sweating a lot. When I was assigned the exercise and started solving it on the board, I tried to stay calm. It was going pretty well, actually, until I said something ridiculous. I said something like: “The area of the triangle is the base (底) times the height divided by 4.” As soon as I realized my mistake, I corrected myself aloud while trying to erase the board with my hand, but my sweat made the blackboard look like a crime scene. An old professor noticed my struggle and said, “I think we’ve seen enough. Thank you.” I left the room with my head down.
Days later, I found out that I had passed the competition and secured a position. My grade gave me the opportunity to choose which professor I wanted to work with and I chose the one who had saved me at that moment, professor Martin!
Before my first tutoring session, some colleagues told me that, in their advanced calculus class, a professor had shared the story of a girl who had gotten so nervous that she “flooded” the board with sweat and didn’t even know the area of a triangle.
I felt extremely angry and confronted the professor immediately. I told him how unprofessional it was for him to mock a student who was just trying her best and if I were truly incompetent, the hiring committee — including him — was at fault. The professor, surprised, felt very sorry and apologized. I accepted his apology.
No matter how much effort you put in or how well you do, some will focus on your mistakes. What matters is how you respond. That experience taught me to express my thoughts bravely, to communicate my concerns, and to set boundaries when I consider something to be unprofessional or unacceptable.
4. How did the author feel when she left the interview room?
A. Extremely nervous. B. Deeply frustrated. C. Slightly regretful. D. Surprisingly calm.
5. Why did the author choose Professor Martin?
A. He offered her a flexible tutoring schedule.
B. He was known for his strict teaching methods.
C. He had helped her during the difficult moment.
D. He was the only professor who gave her a high grade.
6. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Capable but overly sensitive. B. Courageous and straightforward.
C. Hardworking but easily discouraged. D. Remarkably quick but deeply unforgiving.
7. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Sweat, Tears, and a Triangle Mistake.
B. I Made a Mistake — and Got an Apology.
C. I Divided by 4 — and Got the Last Laugh.
D. A Flooded Board, a Divided Formula, and a Job Offer.
C
Wagner tried to pull out weedy rice — a wild variety that invades his planted crop. These days, he leaves it.
It’s a favored food of the thousands of ducks, wild geese and shorebirds that arrive on his farmland after harvest every autumn.
His farm is among about 3 million acres of land in rice production across the US. Collectively, these farms provide an estimated third of the food energy that migrating waterfowl eat each winter across North America. Wagner and other farmers are embracing bird-friendly strategies. After one wet growing season, his fields were getting badly worn by machinery. So the farm just blocked up the drains (排水管) and let a little water sit on the field through the winter. Creatures like crawfish and mussels also live around his farm, providing other food sources.
While Wagner figured out his process through trial and error, research backs it up. A study on his farm in the winter found that bird droppings were contributing almost a third of recommended nitrogen fertilizer (氮肥) for rice in the highest instances, likely linked to the sheer number of birds and the compounding effects of repeating the practice over time. On average, researchers estimated that bird droppings could cut synthetic nitrogen fertilizer by more than 13 percent if producers used winter field flooding.
The research also found a lot of other benefits from off-season practices that attract birds to rice farms. As the birds walk on the flooded fields, they help decompose organic matter in the field, which supports soil health and benefits crops. Meanwhile, as water sits, sediment (沉淀物) settles down, keeping it on the field instead of washing away into rivers. That helps with water quality issues downstream. And as sediment settles, that keeps more phosphorus (磷) on the land.
Winter field flooding is a relatively cost-effective option for farmers. It takes place in the off-season, and usually doesn’t require much additional infrastructure (基础设施) beyond what a farm already has.
For all the benefits birds bring to farms, there is also some trouble, acknowledges Wagner, like the way the birds spread the weedy rice so it mixes with his crop.
8. Why does Wagner choose to keep weedy rice on his farm?
A. It improves the quality of his rice.
B. It attracts insects that birds feed on.
C. It helps prevent soil loss during winter.
D. It provides a food source for visiting birds.
9. What can be learned about the effect of bird droppings from the study?
A. They work better than synthetic fertilizers.
B. Their fertilizing value builds up over time.
C. They can fully meet the rice’s need for nitrogen.
D. Their effect depends on the number of bird species.
10. Why does the author mention sediment settlement in the fields?
A. To describe a problem caused by winter flooding.
B. To compare different methods of soil conservation.
C. To explain a way to improve downstream water quality.
D. To argue for the removal of phosphorus from the soil.
11. What trouble do birds bring to Wagner’s farm?
A. They damage the drainage system.
B. They mix unwanted rice into his crop.
C. They compete with crawfish for food.
D. They reduce the effectiveness of fertilizers.
D
In Amsterdam’s picturesque Nine Streets neighborhood, a curious modern custom unfolds daily: Tourists stand in long, winding queues on historic bridges, holding €5.50 cones of fries (锥形纸筒装薯条) against gabled backgrounds for the perfect TikTok post. From the viral chips in Amsterdam to the hour-long waits for a slice at New York L’Industrie Pizza or the salt beef bagels at London Beigel Bake, travelers are now willing to sacrifice hours of their precious vacation time for trendy takes (食物的做法) on everyday foods.
Psychologists suggest these lines are rarely about the food itself; they reveal how social media, status, and performance have fundamentally reshaped modern travel. A queue serves as a powerful psychological trigger, most notably through the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). As Rachel Herz, a specialist in human behavior, notes, seeing a crowd makes a “thing” seem more desirable.
However, the nature of these queues has changed. Unlike the accidental discoveries of the past, these pilgrimages are calculated. Discoveries now happen on personalized social media feeds before a traveler even leaves home. This has turned travel into a form of public performance. Social media provides a stage for tourists to “perform their vacation”. By beautifully filming themselves in line or rating “viral foods”, travelers collect social capital, signaling to their peers that they are onto something special and culturally relevant. This cycle is strengthened by influencers and algorithms (算法). Researchers note followers often imitate ambitious behavior to show they belong to the same community, leading to repetitive travel patterns on a microscale.
But this virality carries a heavy cost for local communities. When algorithms send millions of people to the same gelato shop in Rome or chip shop in Amsterdam, the result is a flood of noise, litter, and crowding. In Amsterdam, the opposition is growing; residents are even taking legal action to limit tourist numbers, arguing that overtourism has lowered their quality of life. For them, a viral fry cone is not a photo opportunity, but a threat to their neighborhood’s survival.
Despite these local tensions, the crowds rarely discourage visitors. To a modern traveler, a long line provides the confidence that they are doing the “right thing”. For many, the hour spent waiting in the queue has become just as meaningful — and just as shareable — as the meal itself.
12. Why does the author mention expensive fries and long waits?
A. To compare street food prices.
B. To show street food is overprice.
C. To prove the locals enjoy these foods.
D. To criticize sacrificing vacation time for trendy foods.
13. What does the word “pilgrimages” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Journeys to holy places. B. Visits to local communities.
C. Accidental discoveries during travel. D. Highly planned trips to popular spots.
14. What is the author’s attitude to residents’ legal action?
A. Supportive but reserved. B. Neutral but concerned.
C. Critical and disapproving. D. Doubtful and Confused.
15. What is the author’s main purpose?
A. To criticize queuing tourists.
B. To urge limiting tourist numbers.
C. To explain social media’s impact on travel.
D. To recommend best street food in three cities.
第二节 七选五(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。
Just yesterday, I started tidying the living room, only to get distracted when I noticed my shiny new dumbbells (哑铃). ___16___ Before I knew it, I was surrounded by damp laundry and no further forward with my cleaning mission. I was experiencing “popcorn brain”.
It is characterised by scattered thoughts, fragmented attention, and an urge to switch between topics, similar to the rapid popping of corn kernels (玉米粒) in a pot. ___17___ “Popcorn brain is usually situational,” explains psychotherapist Tina. “It tends to emerge during periods of stress, emotional chaos, information overload, or major lifestyle changes.” The constant switching between tasks not only reduces productivity but also leaves us feeling exhausted without having accomplished anything meaningful. You might end the day feeling busier than ever yet unsure what you actually did. In severe cases, people may find it difficult to complete even simple daily routines, like making a cup of tea or replying to a single email. Here are some of Tina’s top tips to turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime.
● Mind map method
Make a mind map by writing down everything that’s on your brain: appointments, worries, conversations, to-dos. ___18___ “Grouping these into areas of your life — e.g. work, home, emotional wellbeing, future plans,” suggests Tina. “Then ask yourself: What matters now? What can wait without causing any negative consequences? These questions help create order, and give your brain permission to focus, as well as the opportunity to remember everything. Even five minutes of this exercise can calm a racing mind.”
● Minimize tech
___19___ Instead, try “focus blocks” consisting of 25-30 minutes away from screens, followed by a 5-minute reward scroll. “This teaches your brain to tolerate stillness, without feeling punished or deprived,” says Tina.
● Reclaim boredom
___20___ This may feel extremely boring at first, because popcorn brain likes to be “go go go” in an attempt to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music. Cook without a podcast. Stare out of your window and notice what you can see,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. Doing nothing is sometimes doing exactly what your nervous system and body needs.” The more you practice stillness, the less uncomfortable it becomes.
A. Waiting does not cause negative consequences.
B. Simple as it sounds, it’s surprisingly hard to follow.
C. Going completely screen-free is unrealistic for most of us.
D. Inspired to work out, I switched to hunting for clean gym wear.
E. Drafting helps reveal the chaos in your mind and organizes your thoughts.
F. It is also accompanied by mental overload, increased stress, tiredness and anxiety.
G. The short scroll break acts as a small reward, making the focused time feel more achievable.

She never scolded us for spilling flour on the counter or getting egg yolk on our clothes; instead, she laughed along and taught us to clean up together. I still have vivid memories of a cloud of cocoa powder ___24___ onto my eyelashes (睫毛) when I couldn’t help peeking (偷瞄) into the mixing bowl to get a taste of the sweet batter (面糊) before it was ___25___. That kitchen was more than just a place for cooking; it was a ___26___ of love and laughter, where we shared stories, joked around, and made memories that would last a lifetime.
Becoming a parent, I wanted to ___27___ those kitchen memories with my kids too. Once they turned six and four, I ___28___ they were ready to get their little hands sticky from more than just eating. I came up with Chocolate Bark, a candy recipe. There were times I had to ___29___ the patience Mom had modeled for me. For those times when they just couldn’t ___30___ licking the spoon, I made a strong ___31___ between which batches (一批) were for gifts and which were strictly for our family. The boys were so ___32___ to give out their boxes of Chocolate Bark, ___33___ when someone would ask, “You made this yourself?

The Yellow Birds
At seventeen, Karen was self-centered and cared little about anything beyond her own comfort. She only volunteered at a convalescent center (康复中心) because her teacher said it would improve her final grade. She often complained to her best friend, “I have to tend to old people for free, and it’s a waste of my time.” To make matters worse, all volunteers had to wear bright yellow uniforms that made them look ridiculous. The nurses nicknamed them “the yellow birds,” and Karen hated it.
One day, she met eighty-seven-year-old Lily Sturgeon, a soft-spoken and like-minded resident. Unlike many others who constantly demanded attention, Lily was quiet and grateful. Karen soon found herself looking forward to their talks.
One rainy afternoon, Lily showed Karen an old photo album. She pointed to a man — her husband, Albert — and a little girl, their daughter Emmy, who had died of cancer at age eight. After Emmy’s death, Albert became “Smiley the Clown” to bring joy to sick children. Though they were poor, they used smiles, small gifts, and homemade tricks to brighten the children’s days. After Albert died, Lily continued as Smiley until her first heart attack forced her to stop.
Karen was deeply moved by their selflessness. As graduation neared, she found Lily in pain. “I’ll be back in two weeks,” Karen promised. But when she returned with a bouquet of lilies, Lily’s room was empty. A nurse handed her a gift-wrapped box — inside was Lily’s photo album.
Holding the album, Karen remembered how Lily had spent her life bringing smiles to others, asking for nothing in return. She looked at her own graduation money — saved for months for a new phone — and made a decision. Three weeks later, she stood before her friend in a clown costume. Her friend stared in confusion. “Why would you spend your money on that?” he asked. “Life is more about giving than receiving,” Karen replied quietly. “From now on, just call me Smiley the Clown.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Taking a deep breath, Karen stepped into the children’s hospital in the yellow she once hated.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back in her room that night, Karen opened Lily’s photo album once more.

I remember perfectly the day I applied for the math preparatory position at the School of Mechanical Engineering.
The written exam went well, so we moved onto the second stage of the competition, which consisted of explaining an exercise in front of a panel of professors. Honestly, I was very tense. To make matters worse, my hands were sweating a lot. When I was assigned the exercise and started solving it on the board, I tried to stay calm. It was going pretty well, actually, until I said something ridiculous. I said something like: “The area of the triangle is the base (底) times the height divided by 4.” As soon as I realized my mistake, I corrected myself aloud while trying to erase the board with my hand, but my sweat made the blackboard look like a crime scene. An old professor noticed my struggle and said, “I think we’ve seen enough. Thank you.” I left the room with my head down.
Days later, I found out that I had passed the competition and secured a position. My grade gave me the opportunity to choose which professor I wanted to work with and I chose the one who had saved me at that moment, professor Martin!
Before my first tutoring session, some colleagues told me that, in their advanced calculus class, a professor had shared the story of a girl who had gotten so nervous that she “flooded” the board with sweat and didn’t even know the area of a triangle.
I felt extremely angry and confronted the professor immediately. I told him how unprofessional it was for him to mock a student who was just trying her best and if I were truly incompetent, the hiring committee — including him — was at fault. The professor, surprised, felt very sorry and apologized. I accepted his apology.
No matter how much effort you put in or how well you do, some will focus on your mistakes. What matters is how you respond. That experience taught me to express my thoughts bravely, to communicate my concerns, and to set boundaries when I consider something to be unprofessional or unacceptable.
4. How did the author feel when she left the interview room?
A. Extremely nervous. B. Deeply frustrated. C. Slightly regretful. D. Surprisingly calm.
5. Why did the author choose Professor Martin?
A. He offered her a flexible tutoring schedule.
B. He was known for his strict teaching methods.
C. He had helped her during the difficult moment.
D. He was the only professor who gave her a high grade.
6. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Capable but overly sensitive. B. Courageous and straightforward.
C. Hardworking but easily discouraged. D. Remarkably quick but deeply unforgiving.
7. Which of the following is the best title?

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第二段“ It was going pretty well, actually, until I said something ridiculous. I said something like: “The area of the triangle is the base times the height divided by 4.”(其实讲解过程原本还算顺利,直到我说出了荒唐的话。我当时说道:“三角形面积等于底乘高再除以四。”)”及第三段“Days later, I found out that I had passed the competition and secured a position.(几天后,我得知自己通过考核,成功获得了这份岗位。)”可知,全文围绕作者计算三角形面积出现除以4的失误展开,虽当众出糗,最终却成功被录取,还勇敢争取自身权益,扭转局面笑到最后。

Wagner tried to pull out weedy rice — a wild variety that invades his planted crop. These days, he leaves it.
It’s a favored food of the thousands of ducks, wild geese and shorebirds that arrive on his farmland after harvest every autumn.
His farm is among about 3 million acres of land in rice production across the US. Collectively, these farms provide an estimated third of the food energy that migrating waterfowl eat each winter across North America. Wagner and other farmers are embracing bird-friendly strategies. After one wet growing season, his fields were getting badly worn by machinery. So the farm just blocked up the drains (排水管) and let a little water sit on the field through the winter. Creatures like crawfish and mussels also live around his farm, providing other food sources.
While Wagner figured out his process through trial and error, research backs it up. A study on his farm in the winter found that bird droppings were contributing almost a third of recommended nitrogen fertilizer (氮肥) for rice in the highest instances, likely linked to the sheer number of birds and the compounding effects of repeating the practice over time. On average, researchers estimated that bird droppings could cut synthetic nitrogen fertilizer by more than 13 percent if producers used winter field flooding.
The research also found a lot of other benefits from off-season practices that attract birds to rice farms. As the birds walk on the flooded fields, they help decompose organic matter in the field, which supports soil health and benefits crops. Meanwhile, as water sits, sediment (沉淀物) settles down, keeping it on the field instead of washing away into rivers. That helps with water quality issues downstream. And as sediment settles, that keeps more phosphorus (磷) on the land.
Winter field flooding is a relatively cost-effective option for farmers. It takes place in the off-season, and usually doesn’t require much additional infrastructure (基础设施) beyond what a farm already has.
For all the benefits birds bring to farms, there is also some trouble, acknowledges Wagner, like the way the birds spread the weedy rice so it mixes with his crop.
8. Why does Wagner choose to keep weedy rice on his farm?
A. It improves the quality of his rice.
B. It attracts insects that birds feed on.
C. It helps prevent soil loss during winter.
D. It provides a food source for visiting birds.
9. What can be learned about the effect of bird droppings from the study?
A. They work better than synthetic fertilizers.
B. Their fertilizing value builds up over time.
C. They can fully meet the rice’s need for nitrogen.
D. Their effect depends on the number of bird species.
10. Why does the author mention sediment settlement in the fields?
A. To describe a problem caused by winter flooding.
B. To compare different methods of soil conservation.
C. To explain a way to improve downstream water quality.
D. To argue for the removal of phosphorus from the soil.
11. What trouble do birds bring to Wagner’s farm?
A. They damage the drainage system.
B. They mix unwanted rice into his crop.
C. They compete with crawfish for food.
D. They reduce the effectiveness of fertilizers.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍美国农户采用益鸟种植模式,冬季水田蓄水为候鸟提供食物,鸟类粪便可充当天然肥料,同时改善土壤与水质,也提及鸟类带来的少量弊端。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“It’s a favored food of the thousands of ducks, wild geese and shorebirds that arrive on his farmland after harvest every autumn.(它是每年秋收后前来这片农田的数千只野鸭、大雁和滨鸟喜爱的食物)”可知,留着杂草稻是为到访的鸟类提供食物来源。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“A study on his farm in the winter found that bird droppings were contributing almost a third of recommended nitrogen fertilizer for rice in the highest instances, likely linked to the sheer number of birds and the compounding effects of repeating the practice over time.(冬季针对这片农田的研究发现,鸟类粪便最高可提供水稻所需推荐氮肥量的近三分之一,这大概率和鸟类数量以及长期践行该做法产生的累积效应相关)”可知,鸟类粪便的肥效会随着时间不断累积提升。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Meanwhile, as water sits, sediment settles down, keeping it on the field instead of washing away into rivers. That helps with water quality issues downstream.(与此同时,积水静置时沉淀物会沉降下来,留存于田地中而非冲入河流,这有助于改善下游的水质问题)”可知,作者提及沉淀物沉降是为说明改善下游水质的一种方式。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“For all the benefits birds bring to farms, there is also some trouble, acknowledges Wagner, like the way the birds spread the weedy rice so it mixes with his crop.(Wagner坦言,尽管鸟类给农田带来诸多益处,但也存在麻烦,鸟类会传播杂草稻,使其混入种植的水稻中)”可知,鸟类会让无用的杂草稻混入农作物里。

In Amsterdam’s picturesque Nine Streets neighborhood, a curious modern custom unfolds daily: Tourists stand in long, winding queues on historic bridges, holding €5.50 cones of fries (锥形纸筒装薯条) against gabled backgrounds for the perfect TikTok post. From the viral chips in Amsterdam to the hour-long waits for a slice at New York L’Industrie Pizza or the salt beef bagels at London Beigel Bake, travelers are now willing to sacrifice hours of their precious vacation time for trendy takes (食物的做法) on everyday foods.
Psychologists suggest these lines are rarely about the food itself; they reveal how social media, status, and performance have fundamentally reshaped modern travel. A queue serves as a powerful psychological trigger, most notably through the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). As Rachel Herz, a specialist in human behavior, notes, seeing a crowd makes a “thing” seem more desirable.
However, the nature of these queues has changed. Unlike the accidental discoveries of the past, these pilgrimages are calculated. Discoveries now happen on personalized social media feeds before a traveler even leaves home. This has turned travel into a form of public performance. Social media provides a stage for tourists to “perform their vacation”. By beautifully filming themselves in line or rating “viral foods”, travelers collect social capital, signaling to their peers that they are onto something special and culturally relevant. This cycle is strengthened by influencers and algorithms (算法). Researchers note followers often imitate ambitious behavior to show they belong to the same community, leading to repetitive travel patterns on a microscale.
But this virality carries a heavy cost for local communities. When algorithms send millions of people to the same gelato shop in Rome or chip shop in Amsterdam, the result is a flood of noise, litter, and crowding. In Amsterdam, the opposition is growing; residents are even taking legal action to limit tourist numbers, arguing that overtourism has lowered their quality of life. For them, a viral fry cone is not a photo opportunity, but a threat to their neighborhood’s survival.
Despite these local tensions, the crowds rarely discourage visitors. To a modern traveler, a long line provides the confidence that they are doing the “right thing”. For many, the hour spent waiting in the queue has become just as meaningful — and just as shareable — as the meal itself.
12. Why does the author mention expensive fries and long waits?
A. To compare street food prices.
B. To show street food is overprice.
C. To prove the locals enjoy these foods.
D. To criticize sacrificing vacation time for trendy foods.
13. What does the word “pilgrimages” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Journeys to holy places. B. Visits to local communities.
C. Accidental discoveries during travel. D. Highly planned trips to popular spots.
14. What is the author’s attitude to residents’ legal action?
A. Supportive but reserved. B. Neutral but concerned.
C. Critical and disapproving. D. Doubtful and Confused.
15. What is the author’s main purpose?
A. To criticize queuing tourists.
B. To urge limiting tourist numbers.
C. To explain social media’s impact on travel.
D. To recommend best street food in three cities.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C

【导语】文章分析社交媒体如何改变现代旅行,阐释网红美食排队现象的成因及对当地社区的不良影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“From the viral chips in Amsterdam to the hour-long waits for a slice at New York L’Industrie Pizza or the salt beef bagels at London Beigel Bake, travelers are now willing to sacrifice hours of their precious vacation time for trendy takes on everyday foods.(从阿姆斯特丹爆火的薯条,到纽约某披萨店需排队一小时的披萨、伦敦贝果店的咸牛肉贝果,游客如今愿意牺牲数小时宝贵假期,只为打卡网红日常食物)”可知,作者列举这些现象,是为了批判人们为网红食物浪费假期时间的行为。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Unlike the accidental discoveries of the past, these pilgrimages are calculated. Discoveries now happen on personalized social media feeds before a traveler even leaves home.(不同于过去旅行中的偶然发现,这些pilgrimages是刻意规划的。游客出发前就通过个性化社交媒体推送锁定打卡地点)”可知,pilgrimages指提前精心规划、奔赴热门打卡地的行程。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But this virality carries a heavy cost for local communities... In Amsterdam, the opposition is growing; residents are even taking legal action to limit tourist numbers, arguing that overtourism has lowered their quality of life.(但这种网红热潮给当地社区带来沉重代价……阿姆斯特丹的反对声音日益高涨,当地居民甚至采取法律行动限制游客数量,称过度旅游降低了他们的生活质量)”可知,作者客观陈述过度旅游的危害和居民的维权行为,既不支持也不批判,态度中立且对此问题表示担忧。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Psychologists suggest these lines are rarely about the food itself; they reveal how social media, status, and performance have fundamentally reshaped modern travel.(心理学家认为,这些排队现象与食物本身无关,它揭示了社交媒体、身份和自我展示如何从根本上重塑了现代旅行)”可知,文章指出排队打卡这种现象本质反映了社交媒体从根本上重塑了现代旅行,全文围绕这个核心分析现象成因、负面影响,核心目的是解释社交媒体对现代旅行的影响。
第二节 七选五(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。
Just yesterday, I started tidying the living room, only to get distracted when I noticed my shiny new dumbbells (哑铃). ___16___ Before I knew it, I was surrounded by damp laundry and no further forward with my cleaning mission. I was experiencing “popcorn brain”.
It is characterised by scattered thoughts, fragmented attention, and an urge to switch between topics, similar to the rapid popping of corn kernels (玉米粒) in a pot. ___17___ “Popcorn brain is usually situational,” explains psychotherapist Tina. “It tends to emerge during periods of stress, emotional chaos, information overload, or major lifestyle changes.” The constant switching between tasks not only reduces productivity but also leaves us feeling exhausted without having accomplished anything meaningful. You might end the day feeling busier than ever yet unsure what you actually did. In severe cases, people may find it difficult to complete even simple daily routines, like making a cup of tea or replying to a single email. Here are some of Tina’s top tips to turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime.
● Mind map method
Make a mind map by writing down everything that’s on your brain: appointments, worries, conversations, to-dos. ___18___ “Grouping these into areas of your life — e.g. work, home, emotional wellbeing, future plans,” suggests Tina. “Then ask yourself: What matters now? What can wait without causing any negative consequences? These questions help create order, and give your brain permission to focus, as well as the opportunity to remember everything. Even five minutes of this exercise can calm a racing mind.”
● Minimize tech
___19___ Instead, try “focus blocks” consisting of 25-30 minutes away from screens, followed by a 5-minute reward scroll. “This teaches your brain to tolerate stillness, without feeling punished or deprived,” says Tina.
● Reclaim boredom
___20___ This may feel extremely boring at first, because popcorn brain likes to be “go go go” in an attempt to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music. Cook without a podcast. Stare out of your window and notice what you can see,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. Doing nothing is sometimes doing exactly what your nervous system and body needs.” The more you practice stillness, the less uncomfortable it becomes.
A. Waiting does not cause negative consequences.
B. Simple as it sounds, it’s surprisingly hard to follow.
C. Going completely screen-free is unrealistic for most of us.
D. Inspired to work out, I switched to hunting for clean gym wear.
E. Drafting helps reveal the chaos in your mind and organizes your thoughts.
F. It is also accompanied by mental overload, increased stress, tiredness and anxiety.
G. The short scroll break acts as a small reward, making the focused time feel more achievable.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Principal,
I am Li Hua, president of the Students’ Union. I am writing to propose establishing a “Sharing Corner” in the library, aiming to tackle the problem of resource waste and piles of unclaimed items in our teaching buildings.
Currently, a large number of leftover books, stationery (文具) and lost belongings lie scattered in the classrooms, occupying valuable space and wasting resources. The Sharing Corner will serve as a platform where students can freely donate or take items. To ensure it remains well-organized, we will categorize the donated goods and assign student volunteers to take turns to sort them and keep the corner tidy every week.
This project will not only make full use of idle resources and help students save money, but it will also foster a caring and sustainable campus culture. We sincerely hope you will approve our proposal.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
The Yellow Birds
At seventeen, Karen was self-centered and cared little about anything beyond her own comfort. She only volunteered at a convalescent center (康复中心) because her teacher said it would improve her final grade. She often complained to her best friend, “I have to tend to old people for free, and it’s a waste of my time.” To make matters worse, all volunteers had to wear bright yellow uniforms that made them look ridiculous. The nurses nicknamed them “the yellow birds,” and Karen hated it.
One day, she met eighty-seven-year-old Lily Sturgeon, a soft-spoken and like-minded resident. Unlike many others who constantly demanded attention, Lily was quiet and grateful. Karen soon found herself looking forward to their talks.
One rainy afternoon, Lily showed Karen an old photo album. She pointed to a man — her husband, Albert — and a little girl, their daughter Emmy, who had died of cancer at age eight. After Emmy’s death, Albert became “Smiley the Clown” to bring joy to sick children. Though they were poor, they used smiles, small gifts, and homemade tricks to brighten the children’s days. After Albert died, Lily continued as Smiley until her first heart attack forced her to stop.
Karen was deeply moved by their selflessness. As graduation neared, she found Lily in pain. “I’ll be back in two weeks,” Karen promised. But when she returned with a bouquet of lilies, Lily’s room was empty. A nurse handed her a gift-wrapped box — inside was Lily’s photo album.
Holding the album, Karen remembered how Lily had spent her life bringing smiles to others, asking for nothing in return. She looked at her own graduation money — saved for months for a new phone — and made a decision. Three weeks later, she stood before her friend in a clown costume. Her friend stared in confusion. “Why would you spend your money on that?” he asked. “Life is more about giving than receiving,” Karen replied quietly. “From now on, just call me Smiley the Clown.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Taking a deep breath, Karen stepped into the children’s hospital in the yellow she once hated.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back in her room that night, Karen opened Lily’s photo album once more.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Taking a deep breath, Karen stepped into the children’s hospital in the yellow she once hated. But now the bright uniform no longer felt ridiculous — it felt like a promise. She knelt beside a boy clutching a blanket and gently showed him a small homemade trick she had practiced for days: a paper flower that seemed to change color. The boy giggled, and Karen felt her heart swell. She moved from bed to bed, telling silly jokes and handing out little gifts she had bought with her graduation money. The yellow, once a symbol of her complaint, now seemed to glow with warmth.
Back in her room that night, Karen opened Lily’s photo album once more. She slowly turned the worn pages, stopping at Albert in his clown nose and Lily holding a puppet. Beside them, she placed a new photo she had taken that afternoon — herself in the yellow uniform, grinning beside a little girl who was laughing. Beneath it, she wrote, “The yellow birds are still flying.” She closed the album gently, feeling Lily’s quiet presence in the room. For the first time, Karen understood what giving really meant — not as a grade, but as a gift she chose to become.
