Lenin Peak Base Camp Trek (徒步): Independent Guide
Lenin Peak Base Camp trek is one of the most dramatic treks you can do independently in Central Asia. While most people arrive on organised expeditions, getting there by public transport with nothing but a backpack is entirely possible and far cheaper than it looks on paper.
Why the Pamirs?
The Pamir mountain range stretches across the far south of Kyrgyzstan, forming a natural border with Tajikistan. The landscape reflects that sense of being at the edge of things: enormous,plain, and free from anything unnecessary. Where the Tien Shan can feel green in summer, thePamirs are rawer and more exposed, with wide rocky valleys and permanent snowfields. There are no rows of guesthouses and no steady stream of trekkers on the path ahead of you. What you get instead is a genuine sense of remoteness that is increasingly hard to find anywhere in Central Asia.
Practical Information
● Permits
Technically, the area around Lenin Peak falls within a border zone due to its being close toTajikistan, and a permit is required to trek here.
● Altitude (海拔)
Tulpar-Kul sits at around 3500 metres and Traveller’s Pass is above 4000 metres. Take it slowly on your first day and pay attention to how you’re feeling. Headaches and exhaustion are common at this altitude and usually manageable, but they’re a signal to slow down rather than push on.
● Don’t forget Travel Insurance
Trekking to Lenin Peak Base Camp takes you above 3,500 meters, an altitude where many standard travel insurance plans stop providing coverage. I personally use and recommend SafetyWing for trekking in Kyrgyzstan. Their Nomad Insurance specifically covers “hiking up to 4,500 meters” in their standard policy.
● How Much Does It Cost to Trek to Lenin Peak Base Camp?
Expense
Approximate Cost
Shared taxi Bishkek → Osh (per seat)
1,000-1,500 KGS
Marshrutka Osh → Sary-Mogul
400-600 KGS
4×4 Sary-Mogul → Tulpar-Kul (per car,4 passengers per car)
2,000-4,000 KGS
Guesthouse in Sary-Mogul (per night)
500-800 KGS
Yurt camp at Tulpar-Kul (per night, dinner + breakfast)
1,700 KGS+
Permit (border zone)
Variable
1. Who are the targeted readers of the text?
A. Single travellers.
B. Group tour participants.
C. Travel agency workers.
D. Professional mountaineers.
2. What can be concluded from the practical tips?
A. Common altitude discomforts call for a stop.
B. Regular insurance may fail to cover this trek.
C. Visitors can trek in the border zone without a permit.
D. Traveller’s Pass is measured at precisely 4,000 metres.
3. What is the minimum budget for one traveller using public transport except permits?
A. About 3,000 KGS. B. About 4,100 KGS.
C. About 5,100 KGS. D. About 6,000 KGS.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B

When 16-year-old Boyan Slat went diving in Greece, he expected to see colorful fish and coral. Instead, he was shocked to find himself swimming through a sea of plastic bags and bottles.
This disturbing experience opened his eyes to the reality of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive collection of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean. At the time, most experts believed cleaning up this mess was impossible. They argued that because the plastic is spread over such a vast area, using ships with nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars, which seemed like a waste of resources.
However, Slat refused to accept this pessimistic attitude. While waiting for a flight, he suddenly realized a key principle: why chase the trash when the ocean currents can bring it to you?He proposed a passive system using giant floating barriers that act like artificial coastlines. These barriers move with the waves, allowing the faster-moving plastic to be caught and concentrated in one area, while the marine life can safely swim underneath.
Slat was so committed to this vision that he dropped out of college to focus entirely on his project. He founded“The Ocean Cleanup”, a non-profit organization committed to ridding the world’s oceans of plastic. The journey was far from smooth; his team faced severe criticism and technical failures during the early stages. However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design. Today, their technology is finally operational and has successfully removed tons of waste. The collected plastic is recycled into durable products like sunglasses, and the profits are used to fund further cleanup missions.
Slat’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that age is just a number when it comes to solving global problems, and that with enough determination, we can turn a hopeless situation into a sustainable solution.
4. What was the key challenge in cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
A. The plastic was too heavy to be lifted by ships.
B. Plastic waste’s wide spread made cleaning costly and unachievable.
C. The ocean currents were too strong for ships to navigate.
D. The plastic was mixed with marine life, making it difficult to separate.
5. How does Slat’s passive system work to collect plastic?
A. By using ships with nets to chase and catch the plastic.
B. By using ocean currents to concentrate trash.
C. By treating plastic with chemicals to make it small.
D. By using floating barriers to trap plastic with currents.
6. How did Slat respond to the doubts and technical setbacks in the text?
A. He published papers to prove experts wrong.
B. He sought government support to solve technical issues.
C. He ignored the criticism and stuck to his original plan.
D. He adjusted his approach through learning from failures.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Boyan Slat?
A. Analytical and modest.
B. Innovative and practical.
C. Realistic and cautious.
D. Persistent and open-minded.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是少年Boyan Slat应对海洋塑料污染问题的经历与成就。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They argued that because the plastic is spread over such a vast area, using ships with nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars, which seemed like a waste of resources.(他们认为,由于塑料覆盖的区域如此之大,使用带有网的船只进行清理需要数千年的时间,并且需要花费数十亿美元,这似乎是对资源的极大浪费。)”可知,清理太平洋垃圾带时面临的主要难题是塑料垃圾分布广泛,使得清理工作成本高昂且难以完成。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“These barriers move with the waves, allowing the faster-moving plastic to be caught and concentrated in one area, while the marine life can safely swim underneath.(这些屏障随着海浪移动,使得速度较快的塑料能够被捕捉并集中在一个区域,而海洋生物则可以在其下方安全地游动。)”可知,Slat的被动收集系统通过使用浮动屏障利用洋流来捕获塑料。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design.(但他们没有放弃,而是复盘每一次失误、不断优化设计。)”可知,Slat应对文中提到的质疑和技术挫折的方法是从失败中吸取教训来调整策略。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, Slat refused to accept this pessimistic attitude. While waiting for a flight, he suddenly realized a key principle: why chase the trash when the ocean currents can bring it to you?(然而,Slat拒绝接受这种悲观的态度。在等飞机的时候,他突然意识到一个关键原则:既然洋流能把垃圾带到你身边,为什么还要去追垃圾呢?)”可知,他有极强的创新思维。根据倒数第二段“However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design. Today, their technology is finally operational and has successfully removed tons of waste. The collected plastic is recycled into durable products like sunglasses, and the profits are used to fund further cleanup missions.(但他们没有放弃,而是复盘每一次失误、不断优化设计。如今,这项技术终于投入实际运行,已成功清理数十吨海洋垃圾。回收的塑料被加工制成太阳镜等耐用产品,所得收益又继续投入到后续的海洋清理任务中。)”可知,他的创新不是理想化的,而是经过实践检验、可落地、可持续的,因此非常“务实”。
C
One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise(天堂) on earth”.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
8. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
A. The Pacific island is a paradise.
B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.
C. The advertisement is not convincing.
D. The advertisement is not impressive
9. The example of Nepal is used to suggest _________ .
A. its natural resources are untouched.
B. its forests are exploited for farmland
C. it develops well in health and education.
D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.
10. What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4 ?
A. They are happy to work their own lands.
B. They have to please the tourists for a living.
C. They have to struggle for their independence.
D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.
11. Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?
A. The number of tourists
B. The improvement of services.
C. The promotion of new products.
D. The management of tourism
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。众所周知旅游业可以给当地经济发展带来无限商机,尤其是一些欠发达国家和地区。但是盲目无序地发展旅游业也会给当地环境带来危害,甚至是致命危害。那我们该怎样平衡旅游业和环保之间的关系呢?。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere,and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise(天堂) on earth”.”(每个月都会看到某个地方在建一座新宾馆,每个月都会看到太平洋中的某个小岛打出广告“这儿是世上最后一处天堂。”)和第三段的“over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. ”(过度拥挤的海滩和密布酒店已经开始失去它们的吸引力。)可推知,这样的广告已经没有什么说服力了,故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most.”(在那些通过海边度假方式来快速挣钱的国家,过度拥挤的海滩和密布酒店已经开始失去它们的吸引力。那些几乎没有旅游业经验的国家影响最大)和“In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land.”(事实上,大自然很快就受到了成千上万游客到森林旅行带来的影响)可推知,作者引用尼泊尔发展旅游业是为了说明,现在这个国家正经受着旅游业带来的痛苦。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Once it was his back that bore the pain;now it is his smile that is exploited.”(过去是他的脊背在承受痛苦,现在是人们开发利用他的微笑)可推知,农民现在不得不以取悦游客谋生。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第一段的“The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. ”(未来十年,如何管理旅游业将决定旅游业和我们要去参观的国家的命运。)可知,未来旅游业的管理方式将决定旅游业的未来。故选D。
D
Alaska’s waters support one of the world’s most important salmon (三文鱼) fisheries, sustained by complex marine food webs. Scientists are eager to understand how these systems are changing as the climate shifts. The challenge is that reliable samples from decades ago are hard to find.
Natalie Mastick, a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University, took an unconventional approach. Instead of relying on modern samples, she examined old cans of salmon. These cans contained cuts from four species collected over a 42-year period in the Gulf of Alaska and Bristol Bay. Mastick and her team opened 178 cans and analysed the preserved fish, counting tiny parasitic worms (寄生虫) known as anisakids in the fish. Although these worms had been killed during the canning process, they hold valuable scientific information.
At first glance, finding worms in fish may seem alarming. But scientists say the opposite can be true. “The anisakid life cycle integrates many components of the food web. I see their existence as a signal that the fish on your plate came from a stable or recovering ecosystem.” said Mastick.
The team’s findings showed that anisakid levels increased in certain salmon species between 1979 and 2021. One key factor accounting for this upward trend may be the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, which helped populations of seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals recover after years of decline. “Anisakids can only reproduce in a marine mammal, so this could be a sign that, over our study period, anisakid levels were rising because of more opportunities to reproduce,” said Mastick.
The stable anisakid levels observed in some kinds of salmon are more difficult to interpret. There are many different anisakid species, each relying on its own combination of hosts. While the canning process preserved the outer structure of the worms, it destroyed the internal features scientists would need to identify specific species.
Researchers believe this method could be applied to other preserved seafood, offering a new way to explore historical ecosystems. They also hope their work encourages scientists to think creatively about overlooked data sources.
12. Why did Mastick use canned salmon for her research?
A. To creatively access historical data.
B. To find a cheaper way to study fish.
C. To test the safety of preserved food.
D. To prove the quality of Alaska’s fisheries.
13. What does the presence of anisakids in salmon indicate according to Mastick?
A. The water temperature is dropping.
B. The salmon population is decreasing.
C. The marine ecosystem is likely healthy.
D. The fish is unsafe for human consumption.
14. What is the limitation of using canned salmon in this study?
A. The canning process is conventional.
B. The anisakids were too large to count.
C. The cans were not preserved well enough.
D. The specific species couldn’t be classified.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Anisakids: Indicators of Ocean Species
B. Ecological impact on Marine Food Webs
C. The Secrets Hidden in Decades-Old Cans
D. Alaska’s Salmon:A Proof of Climate Change
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了科学家Natalie Mastick通过研究旧罐头中的三文鱼来探索历史生态系统的变化。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists are eager to understand how these systems are changing as the climate shifts. The challenge is that reliable samples from decades ago are hard to find.(科学家们迫切想要了解,随着气候变迁,这些生态系统正在发生怎样的变化。而难题在于,数十年前可靠的生物样本很难获取。)”以及第二段中“Natalie Mastick, a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University, took an unconventional approach. Instead of relying on modern samples, she examined old cans of salmon.(耶鲁大学博士后研究员Natalie Mastick采取了一种非传统的方法。她没有依赖现代样本,而是检查了旧罐头中的三文鱼。)”可知,Natalie Mastick使用罐装三文鱼进行研究是为了创造性地获取历史数据。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“At first glance, finding worms in fish may seem alarming. But scientists say the opposite can be true. “The anisakid life cycle integrates many components of the food web. I see their existence as a signal that the fish on your plate came from a stable or recovering ecosystem.” said Mastick.(乍一看,鱼肉里发现寄生虫似乎令人不安。但科学家表示,事实恰恰相反。Mastick说:“异尖线虫的生命周期关联着食物网的众多组成部分。在我看来,这类寄生虫的存在,标志着餐桌上的鱼类源自稳定或正在恢复的生态系统。”)”可知,根据Mastick的说法,三文鱼中存在异尖线虫表明海洋生态系统可能是健康的。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“While the canning process preserved the outer structure of the worms, it destroyed the internal features scientists would need to identify specific species.(虽然罐装过程保留了虫子的外部结构,但它破坏了科学家识别特定物种所需的内部特征。)”可知,这项研究使用罐装三文鱼的局限性是无法对具体物种进行分类。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“Natalie Mastick, a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University, took an unconventional approach. Instead of relying on modern samples, she examined old cans of salmon.(耶鲁大学博士后研究员Natalie Mastick采取了一种非传统的方法。她没有依赖现代样本,而是检查了旧罐头中的三文鱼。)”以及最后一段中“Researchers believe this method could be applied to other preserved seafood, offering a new way to explore historical ecosystems.(研究人员认为,这种方法可以应用于其他保存的海鲜,为探索历史生态系统提供了一种新方法。)”可知,文章主要讲述了科学家Natalie Mastick通过研究旧罐头中的三文鱼来探索历史生态系统的变化,故C选项“隐藏在几十年旧罐头中的秘密”最符合文章标题。
第二节
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。
Is there anyone who couldn’t spend a little less time on their phone? A digital detox (戒毒) may be just what you need. ____16____ When people hear the word detox, they may think it’s a strict all-or-nothing thing, but it doesn’t have to be that extreme. Here are some ideas to get you started.
It’s one thing to say you’re going to get rid of your phone on your next vacation, but it’s quite another thing to actually do it. ____17____ Once you get used to small blocks of time without it, it will be easier and easier to forget how much you relied on it.
If you’re in a situation where you can’t drop your phone, limit the time to use technology during the moments you absolutely have to use it. For example, spend a morning in bed on a Saturday to catch up on social media and then rely less on your phone the rest of the day. ____18____
Not to sound too much like a lecturing mom, but mealtimes should be quality time with your dining companions in real life. Quick-response (QR) codes for menus at restaurants can be a little annoying too, since you’ re dining out with friends to spend time with them, not get absorbed in your phone. ____19____ If you have to use your phone to order dinner, put it back in your purse as soon as you can.
____20____ Where you sleep, for example, should be a restful place, not a place to get worked up over social media posts. Start your digital detox by taking the television out of the room, and definitely keep your phone elsewhere while you sleep.
A. You are not alone as a digital addict.
B. Ask for a paper menu whenever possible.
C. Specify some areas of your home as tech-free.
D. Try setting aside your phone for an afternoon.
E. It is a planned and mindful break from digital technology.
F. You just might find that you now have time for a new hobby.
G. Taking breaks from social media guarantees you a good sleep.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了数字排毒(digital detox)的概念,即计划性地、有意识地远离数字技术,并提供了一些实践数字排毒的建议。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Is there anyone who couldn’t spend a little less time on their phone? A digital detox (戒毒) may be just what you need.(有人不能少花一点时间在手机上吗?也许你需要的正是“数码戒毒”)”可知,E项“It is a planned and mindful break from digital technology.(这是一次有计划的、有意识的与数字技术的分离)”是对前文“数码戒毒”的解释,符合文意。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“It’s one thing to say you’re going to get rid of your phone on your next vacation, but it’s quite another thing to actually do it.(说你要在下次度假时扔掉手机是一回事,但真正做到这一点又是另一回事)”以及后文“Once you get used to small blocks of time without it, it will be easier and easier to forget how much you relied on it.(一旦你习惯了一小段时间没有它,你就会越来越容易忘记你是多么依赖它)”可知,本段主要讲述,真的做到去放下手机,所以D项“Try setting aside your phone for an afternoon.(试着把手机拿开一下午)”符合本段主题。故选D项。
【18题详解】
设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“If you’re in a situation where you can’t drop your phone, limit the time to use technology during the moments you absolutely have to use it. For example, spend a morning in bed on a Saturday to catch up on social media and then rely less on your phone the rest of the day.(如果你处于不能放下手机的情况下,那就在你必须使用科技产品的时候限制使用它的时间。例如,周六早上在床上刷社交媒体,然后在一天的剩余时间里减少对手机的依赖)”可知,F项“You just might find that you now have time for a new hobby.(你可能会发现你现在有时间培养一个新的爱好)”是对前文的总结,限制使用科技产品的时间,然后会发现你现在有时间培养一个新的爱好。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Quick-response (QR) codes for menus at restaurants can be a little annoying too, since you’ re dining out with friends to spend time with them, not get absorbed in your phone.(餐厅菜单上的快速响应代码也有点烦人,因为你和朋友出去吃饭是为了和他们共度时光,而不是全神贯注于你的手机)”以及后文“If you have to use your phone to order dinner, put it back in your purse as soon as you can.(如果你不得不用手机点餐,尽快把它放回钱包里)”可知,此处是在讲述餐馆就餐时,尽量不用手机,所以B项“Ask for a paper menu whenever possible.(尽可能要一份纸质菜单)”符合此处主题,承接上文,引出下文。故选B项。
【20题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“Where you sleep, for example, should be a restful place, not a place to get worked up over social media posts. Start your digital detox by taking the television out of the room, and definitely keep your phone elsewhere while you sleep.(例如,你睡觉的地方应该是一个安静的地方,而不是一个因为社交媒体帖子而生气的地方。从把电视从房间里拿出来开始戒掉数码产品吧,睡觉的时候一定要把手机放在别的地方)”可知,本段主要讲述了让家里一个地方尽量没有电子产品,所以C项“Specify some areas of your home as tech-free.(指定你家里的一些区域为无科技)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选C项。

【答案】范文
It is definitely wise that we speed up ocean development, which carries boundless potential for human progress.
With advanced deep-sea exploration equipment widely applied, we can tap into rich marine resources that are hidden beneath the vast ocean. This move also drives technological innovation, as scientists keep breaking technical barriers related to marine engineering. Ocean development will not disturb ecological balance if carried out properly. Many projects, guided by eco-friendly rules, focus on sustainable exploitation. The ocean, being a precious treasure house, deserves rational exploration. Only when we quicken related research and construction can we realize harmonious coexistence between humans and the marine world.

第二节
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。
Tony, a Senior 2 student at Greenwood High School, walked out of the classroom, his mind still occupied by the theme class meeting. His teacher’s words echoed (回响) in his ears: “True character is revealed not when things are easy, but when you face the consequences of your mistakes. Honesty is the heaviest weight, yet it makes your soul the lightest.” Suddenly, he stopped short, a realization dawning on him. He glanced at his watch and let out a sharp breath. It was his grandfather’s birthday, and he had planned to bake a cake for him personally. Time was pressing!
Anxious not to disappoint his beloved grandfather, Tony grabbed his bicycle and pedaled as fast as he could down the quiet suburban road. The street was unusually deserted, with only the cold wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Lost in the happy thought of the birthday surprise, Tony turned a sharp corner too fast. Crack! A loud, sharp sound froze his blood. He had sideswiped a shiny, black luxury car parked by the roadside.
Tony jumped off, his legs trembling uncontrollably. A long, ugly scratch (划痕) damaged the shiny door of the million-dollar car. Panic seized him like a giant hand. He looked around wildly — the street remained deadly silent. No cameras, no witnesses, just him and the cold wind. Arisky thought flashed through his mind:“Just ride away! No one will ever know. You can still make it home in time for the cake.”
In no time, his foot touched the pedal, ready to flee. But at that critical moment, the teacher’s voice crashed into his mind. Then, he pictured his parents’ earnest faces. They had always taught him that a real man never turns away from responsibility. However, another voice in his head whispered:“Just hurry back home and pretend nothing happened. Your family is not rich, and you can’t afford such a large compensation(赔偿).” He hesitated, his feet rooted to the ground.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After a long struggle in his heart, Tony made up his mind.

That evening, Tony’s phone rang.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After a long struggle in his heart, Tony made up his mind. He took a deep breath to calm his racing heart and took out a pen and a piece of paper. With trembling hands, he wrote down a sincere apology note, including his name, class, and phone number, promising to take full responsibility. He carefully stuck the note on the front window of the luxury car. Although he knew he might face a heavy financial burden, a sense of relief washed over him. His soul felt surprisingly light as he finally headed home.
That evening, Tony’s phone rang. Seeing an unknown number, his stomach tightened with nervousness. He answered it hesitantly, preparing himself for anger or a huge bill. To his surprise, a warm male voice came through, “Are you the student who left the note?” The car owner told Tony not to worry about the compensation at all. “That scratch can be fixed, but your honesty is priceless,” the man said warmly. Hearing those words, Tony was touched, tears of relief welled up in his eyes. He realized that sticking to his principles was indeed the best birthday gift for himself and his grandfather.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Tony在赶回家给祖父做生日蛋糕的路上,不慎划伤了一辆豪车。他本想逃离现场,但老师的话和父母的教诲让他犹豫,最终他决定面对责任,没有选择逃离。

Lenin Peak Base Camp Trek (徒步): Independent Guide
Lenin Peak Base Camp trek is one of the most dramatic treks you can do independently in Central Asia. While most people arrive on organised expeditions, getting there by public transport with nothing but a backpack is entirely possible and far cheaper than it looks on paper.
Why the Pamirs?
The Pamir mountain range stretches across the far south of Kyrgyzstan, forming a natural border with Tajikistan. The landscape reflects that sense of being at the edge of things: enormous,plain, and free from anything unnecessary. Where the Tien Shan can feel green in summer, thePamirs are rawer and more exposed, with wide rocky valleys and permanent snowfields. There are no rows of guesthouses and no steady stream of trekkers on the path ahead of you. What you get instead is a genuine sense of remoteness that is increasingly hard to find anywhere in Central Asia.
Practical Information
● Permits
Technically, the area around Lenin Peak falls within a border zone due to its being close toTajikistan, and a permit is required to trek here.
● Altitude (海拔)
Tulpar-Kul sits at around 3500 metres and Traveller’s Pass is above 4000 metres. Take it slowly on your first day and pay attention to how you’re feeling. Headaches and exhaustion are common at this altitude and usually manageable, but they’re a signal to slow down rather than push on.
● Don’t forget Travel Insurance
Trekking to Lenin Peak Base Camp takes you above 3,500 meters, an altitude where many standard travel insurance plans stop providing coverage. I personally use and recommend SafetyWing for trekking in Kyrgyzstan. Their Nomad Insurance specifically covers “hiking up to 4,500 meters” in their standard policy.
● How Much Does It Cost to Trek to Lenin Peak Base Camp?
Expense
Approximate Cost
Shared taxi Bishkek → Osh (per seat)
1,000-1,500 KGS
Marshrutka Osh → Sary-Mogul
400-600 KGS
4×4 Sary-Mogul → Tulpar-Kul (per car,4 passengers per car)
2,000-4,000 KGS
Guesthouse in Sary-Mogul (per night)
500-800 KGS
Yurt camp at Tulpar-Kul (per night, dinner + breakfast)
1,700 KGS+
Permit (border zone)
Variable
1. Who are the targeted readers of the text?
A. Single travellers.
B. Group tour participants.
C. Travel agency workers.
D. Professional mountaineers.
2. What can be concluded from the practical tips?
A. Common altitude discomforts call for a stop.
B. Regular insurance may fail to cover this trek.
C. Visitors can trek in the border zone without a permit.
D. Traveller’s Pass is measured at precisely 4,000 metres.
3. What is the minimum budget for one traveller using public transport except permits?
A. About 3,000 KGS. B. About 4,100 KGS.
C. About 5,100 KGS. D. About 6,000 KGS.
B
When 16-year-old Boyan Slat went diving in Greece, he expected to see colorful fish and coral. Instead, he was shocked to find himself swimming through a sea of plastic bags and bottles.
This disturbing experience opened his eyes to the reality of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive collection of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean. At the time, most experts believed cleaning up this mess was impossible. They argued that because the plastic is spread over such a vast area, using ships with nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars, which seemed like a waste of resources.
However, Slat refused to accept this pessimistic attitude. While waiting for a flight, he suddenly realized a key principle: why chase the trash when the ocean currents can bring it to you?He proposed a passive system using giant floating barriers that act like artificial coastlines. These barriers move with the waves, allowing the faster-moving plastic to be caught and concentrated in one area, while the marine life can safely swim underneath.
Slat was so committed to this vision that he dropped out of college to focus entirely on his project. He founded“The Ocean Cleanup”, a non-profit organization committed to ridding the world’s oceans of plastic. The journey was far from smooth; his team faced severe criticism and technical failures during the early stages. However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design. Today, their technology is finally operational and has successfully removed tons of waste. The collected plastic is recycled into durable products like sunglasses, and the profits are used to fund further cleanup missions.
Slat’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that age is just a number when it comes to solving global problems, and that with enough determination, we can turn a hopeless situation into a sustainable solution.
4. What was the key challenge in cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
A. The plastic was too heavy to be lifted by ships.
B. Plastic waste’s wide spread made cleaning costly and unachievable.
C. The ocean currents were too strong for ships to navigate.
D. The plastic was mixed with marine life, making it difficult to separate.
5. How does Slat’s passive system work to collect plastic?
A. By using ships with nets to chase and catch the plastic.
B. By using ocean currents to concentrate trash.
C. By treating plastic with chemicals to make it small.
D. By using floating barriers to trap plastic with currents.
6. How did Slat respond to the doubts and technical setbacks in the text?
A. He published papers to prove experts wrong.
B. He sought government support to solve technical issues.
C. He ignored the criticism and stuck to his original plan.
D. He adjusted his approach through learning from failures.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Boyan Slat?
A. Analytical and modest.
B. Innovative and practical.
C. Realistic and cautious.
D. Persistent and open-minded.
C
One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise(天堂) on earth”.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
8. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
A. The Pacific island is a paradise.
B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.
C. The advertisement is not convincing.
D. The advertisement is not impressive
9. The example of Nepal is used to suggest _________ .
A. its natural resources are untouched.
B. its forests are exploited for farmland
C. it develops well in health and education.
D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.
10. What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4 ?
A. They are happy to work their own lands.
B. They have to please the tourists for a living.
C. They have to struggle for their independence.
D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.
11. Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?
A. The number of tourists
B. The improvement of services.
C. The promotion of new products.
D. The management of tourism
D
Alaska’s waters support one of the world’s most important salmon (三文鱼) fisheries, sustained by complex marine food webs. Scientists are eager to understand how these systems are changing as the climate shifts. The challenge is that reliable samples from decades ago are hard to find.
Natalie Mastick, a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University, took an unconventional approach. Instead of relying on modern samples, she examined old cans of salmon. These cans contained cuts from four species collected over a 42-year period in the Gulf of Alaska and Bristol Bay. Mastick and her team opened 178 cans and analysed the preserved fish, counting tiny parasitic worms (寄生虫) known as anisakids in the fish. Although these worms had been killed during the canning process, they hold valuable scientific information.
At first glance, finding worms in fish may seem alarming. But scientists say the opposite can be true. “The anisakid life cycle integrates many components of the food web. I see their existence as a signal that the fish on your plate came from a stable or recovering ecosystem.” said Mastick.
The team’s findings showed that anisakid levels increased in certain salmon species between 1979 and 2021. One key factor accounting for this upward trend may be the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, which helped populations of seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals recover after years of decline. “Anisakids can only reproduce in a marine mammal, so this could be a sign that, over our study period, anisakid levels were rising because of more opportunities to reproduce,” said Mastick.
The stable anisakid levels observed in some kinds of salmon are more difficult to interpret. There are many different anisakid species, each relying on its own combination of hosts. While the canning process preserved the outer structure of the worms, it destroyed the internal features scientists would need to identify specific species.
Researchers believe this method could be applied to other preserved seafood, offering a new way to explore historical ecosystems. They also hope their work encourages scientists to think creatively about overlooked data sources.
12. Why did Mastick use canned salmon for her research?
A. To creatively access historical data.
B. To find a cheaper way to study fish.
C. To test the safety of preserved food.
D. To prove the quality of Alaska’s fisheries.
13. What does the presence of anisakids in salmon indicate according to Mastick?
A. The water temperature is dropping.
B. The salmon population is decreasing.
C. The marine ecosystem is likely healthy.
D. The fish is unsafe for human consumption.
14. What is the limitation of using canned salmon in this study?
A. The canning process is conventional.
B. The anisakids were too large to count.
C. The cans were not preserved well enough.
D. The specific species couldn’t be classified.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Anisakids: Indicators of Ocean Species
B. Ecological impact on Marine Food Webs
C. The Secrets Hidden in Decades-Old Cans
D. Alaska’s Salmon:A Proof of Climate Change

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。
Is there anyone who couldn’t spend a little less time on their phone? A digital detox (戒毒) may be just what you need. ____16____ When people hear the word detox, they may think it’s a strict all-or-nothing thing, but it doesn’t have to be that extreme. Here are some ideas to get you started.
It’s one thing to say you’re going to get rid of your phone on your next vacation, but it’s quite another thing to actually do it. ____17____ Once you get used to small blocks of time without it, it will be easier and easier to forget how much you relied on it.

Tony, a Senior 2 student at Greenwood High School, walked out of the classroom, his mind still occupied by the theme class meeting. His teacher’s words echoed (回响) in his ears: “True character is revealed not when things are easy, but when you face the consequences of your mistakes. Honesty is the heaviest weight, yet it makes your soul the lightest.” Suddenly, he stopped short, a realization dawning on him. He glanced at his watch and let out a sharp breath. It was his grandfather’s birthday, and he had planned to bake a cake for him personally. Time was pressing!
Anxious not to disappoint his beloved grandfather, Tony grabbed his bicycle and pedaled as fast as he could down the quiet suburban road. The street was unusually deserted, with only the cold wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Lost in the happy thought of the birthday surprise, Tony turned a sharp corner too fast. Crack! A loud, sharp sound froze his blood. He had sideswiped a shiny, black luxury car parked by the roadside.
Tony jumped off, his legs trembling uncontrollably. A long, ugly scratch (划痕) damaged the shiny door of the million-dollar car. Panic seized him like a giant hand. He looked around wildly — the street remained deadly silent. No cameras, no witnesses, just him and the cold wind. Arisky thought flashed through his mind:“Just ride away! No one will ever know. You can still make it home in time for the cake.”
In no time, his foot touched the pedal, ready to flee. But at that critical moment, the teacher’s voice crashed into his mind. Then, he pictured his parents’ earnest faces. They had always taught him that a real man never turns away from responsibility. However, another voice in his head whispered:“Just hurry back home and pretend nothing happened. Your family is not rich, and you can’t afford such a large compensation(赔偿).” He hesitated, his feet rooted to the ground.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After a long struggle in his heart, Tony made up his mind.
