You may need a lifetime to check off the bucket list of all the fun activities you can do in China, no matter you are nature lovers or history fans. Here are the top 4 things selected for travelers to do in China.
Hike the Great Wall
Whatever your purpose of visiting China is, hiking on the Great Wall is always a must-do thing of your China tour. The Great Wall stretches over 21,196 kilometers, across about 15 provinces in China. For travelers who love adventures, don’t choose regular sections like Badaling Great Wall and Mutianyu Great Wall, because the crowds will definitely surprise you. You could think about exploring Jinshanling Great Wall and Simatai Great Wall for a better hiking experience.
Travel from Metropolis to Ancient Water Towns
Shanghai will be a perfect choice for you to experience the rapid development in China. All the well-designed skyscrapers (摩天大楼) along Huangpu River will generously show you how modern China looks like now. Besides, you can travel from those modern skyscrapers in Shanghai to witness the profound Chinese history and culture in some water towns near Shanghai, such as Zhujiajiao Water Town and Tongli Water Town. Consider a connecting tour with Suzhou or Hangzhou if you have a flexible schedule.
Take Care of Pandas in Chengdu
If panda is one of the most influential factors for choosing China as your travel destination, you should consider the Panda Volunteer Program in Chengdu. Even though you can see pandas in some zoos in the major cities, the experience in the hometown of giant pandas is totally different. Here in Dujiangyan Panda Base, you can take care of pandas and closely interact with those cute creatures.
Go Bamboo Rafting on Li River
Guilin makes a wonderful match of mountain view with water scenery for nature lovers, thanks to the famous Li River. Here in Guilin, you can enjoy the best karst sceneries along the charming Li River. If you think cruising is too normal, bamboo rafting will be a better option for you to experience the stunning views alongside.
Through a private tour, you will have more fun in China. If interested, you can click here to get more details.

In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. For those three short years, I felt like I was on top of the world.
Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise.
My parents didn’t understand. From what they had known about me when I was younger, they thought that I was perfect, and so I had to be perfect all the time. Their concern grew — they began to search for private teachers and would often talk to me, trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater. I found myself worrying about school all the time. I even questioned myself — who was I, if not the perfect student?
Watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics made me think of myself. Simone Biles was the GOAT (greatest of all time). If there was any person we knew we could count on to win, it was Simone.
Unlike me, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self- reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her. Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not becoming the best, I need to learn from Simone and be kind to myself by taking a break or even asking for help if need be.
24. How did the author feel in high school?
A. Bored and tired. B. Nervous and anxious. C. Confident and proud. D. Excited and surprised.
25. What can we say about the author’s parents?
A. They had great expectations of the author. B. They fully understood the author’s situation.
C. They managed to lower the author’s pressure. D. They pushed the author to learn from Simone Biles.
26. How did Simone Biles influence the author?
A. She encouraged the author never to give up.
B. She taught the author useful self- reflective skills.
C. She showed the author the true meaning of perfection.
D. She made the author realize the value of mental health.
27. What is the best title for this text?
A. Pressure: how much is too much?
B. Simone Biles: the GOAT of the Olympics
C. Simone Biles, me, and the pressure of perfection
D. How do schools improve the mental health of students?
C
There were still lots of aftershocks(余震), often this would lead to all the students running outside, normal classes were impossible. Lots of students were troubled by recent events and many would not sleep in their dormitories. On the afternoon after the earthquake there was a thunderstorm, the loud crack of thunder sent some students towards the door. As they returned, the relief and laughter were evident in this latest false alarm.
The weekend after the earthquake we were in Chengdu on a pre-arranged trip. During that weekend, there were dozens of aftershocks. It was at this time that we decided enough was enough; we would complete our contracts then leave that summer. At the end of that weekend, there had been over 400 aftershocks with a few measured as high as 6.0 on the Richter scale.
On Monday afternoon, exactly one week after the first shock, there was a memorial service on TV for those that died, were missing or injured. It was observed by all the students in my class, many were openly crying, others in silence with their heads down. The rest of that afternoon it was difficult to teach. I was getting an increased feeling of “I don’t want to be here anymore,” I could see many of the students did not want to be at school either.
We eventually left Wenchuan on the 15th of July; lots of students told us they were surprised we stayed that long. When we arrived in Sichuan province, we were not aware we were even in an earthquake area. Prior to 2008 there had not been a serious earthquake in the province since the 1930’s. By November 2008, there had been more than 40,000 reported aftershocks.
28. What does the underline phrase memorial service in the third paragraph mean?
A. A grand march B. A mourning ceremony C. A celebration party D. A great speech
29. What can we conclude from the passage according to the author?
A. A journalist who happened to be in the earthquake-stricken area,
B. A writer who collected materials for writing science fiction.
C. A tourist who was travelling in Sichuan during the earthquake.
D. A teacher who stayed with the students when the earthquake struck.
30. Why did some students laughed when they rushed to the door?
A. Because there were no more aftershocks. B. Because there would be no more classes.
C. Because they mistook the thunder as an aftershock. D. Because they were troubled by the terrible earthquake.
31. How might the author feel when he left Sichuan after July?
A. Relieved B. Surprised C. Shocked D. Disappointed
D
There was a time, not so long ago, when kids built castles, climbed trees, and rode bikes until dark. These outdoor adventures have not disappeared. They are just waiting to be rediscovered beyond screens.
While technology offers many benefits, the trend (趋势) of children having smartphones may change how they develop, play, and connect. According to TIME, much of the technology that kids are using is designed to be addictive. However, parents including Holly Moscatiello, the leader of the nonprofit The Balance Project, are helping children control the use of digital devices. She’s leading a counter-movement to get kids off screens and back into real life.
“We want to make experiencing community life as easy as using a phone,” she told TIME. The group is organizing community projects that make outdoor play exciting again, such as cycling to school together and Balance Boxes- kits with small toys and clay (黏土) for screen-free fun. It’s a simple reminder that independence and connection can develop when kids look up from their devices.
Moscatiello notes that smartphones have reshaped childhood nearly overnight: 89 percent of 12-year-old British kids own a smartphone and the average age of receiving one’s first phone is nine. To fight this, The Balance Project started a parent agreement in Oxfordshire, where parents of around 4,000 children promised not to give their kids smartphones until Year Nine (8th grade).
The goal of this group is solidarity — when everyone waits, no child feels left out. In one school in Oxfordshire, students lock their phones away during the day, and teachers report calmer classrooms. “Now we focus on school and study better,” a student at a smartphone-free school said.
By joining together, parents and communities are making it easier for the next generation to grow up rooted in real life instead of through a screen. Giving children back their time, freedom, and face-to-face friends is one of the best investments (投资) a parent can make towards a brighter future.
32. What does The Balance Project do to help children?
A. It teaches kids to use technology wisely. B. It offers free digital devices to poor families.
C. It trains parents to deal with screen addiction. D. It organizes activities to encourage outdoor play.
33. What can we learn about smartphone use from paragraph 4?
A. Many British kids refuse to use smartphones. B. Smartphones are common among British kids.
C. British kids get phones earlier than others. D. Most parents are against their kids using phones.
34. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solidarity” in paragraph 5?
A. Teamwork. B. Progress. C. Curiosity D. Independence
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kids’ Outdoor Activities Disappear. B. Smartphones Bring Harm to Children.
C. The Balance Project Becomes Popular. D. Bring Back a Smartphone-Free Childhood.

M: I would rather do it this way. We each pay 50% for the books now and at the end of the course you can take the books you find more interesting and I will take the ones I like.
W: It’s surely a better idea. We each get the books we like.
M: Then let’s buy the books from bookstores as soon as possible before Mrs. Smith’s class.

You may need a lifetime to check off the bucket list of all the fun activities you can do in China, no matter you are nature lovers or history fans. Here are the top 4 things selected for travelers to do in China.
Hike the Great Wall
Whatever your purpose of visiting China is, hiking on the Great Wall is always a must-do thing of your China tour. The Great Wall stretches over 21,196 kilometers, across about 15 provinces in China. For travelers who love adventures, don’t choose regular sections like Badaling Great Wall and Mutianyu Great Wall, because the crowds will definitely surprise you. You could think about exploring Jinshanling Great Wall and Simatai Great Wall for a better hiking experience.
Travel from Metropolis to Ancient Water Towns
Shanghai will be a perfect choice for you to experience the rapid development in China. All the well-designed skyscrapers (摩天大楼) along Huangpu River will generously show you how modern China looks like now. Besides, you can travel from those modern skyscrapers in Shanghai to witness the profound Chinese history and culture in some water towns near Shanghai, such as Zhujiajiao Water Town and Tongli Water Town. Consider a connecting tour with Suzhou or Hangzhou if you have a flexible schedule.
Take Care of Pandas in Chengdu
If panda is one of the most influential factors for choosing China as your travel destination, you should consider the Panda Volunteer Program in Chengdu. Even though you can see pandas in some zoos in the major cities, the experience in the hometown of giant pandas is totally different. Here in Dujiangyan Panda Base, you can take care of pandas and closely interact with those cute creatures.
Go Bamboo Rafting on Li River
Guilin makes a wonderful match of mountain view with water scenery for nature lovers, thanks to the famous Li River. Here in Guilin, you can enjoy the best karst sceneries along the charming Li River. If you think cruising is too normal, bamboo rafting will be a better option for you to experience the stunning views alongside.

In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. For those three short years, I felt like I was on top of the world.
Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise.
My parents didn’t understand. From what they had known about me when I was younger, they thought that I was perfect, and so I had to be perfect all the time. Their concern grew — they began to search for private teachers and would often talk to me, trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater. I found myself worrying about school all the time. I even questioned myself — who was I, if not the perfect student?
Watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics made me think of myself. Simone Biles was the GOAT (greatest of all time). If there was any person we knew we could count on to win, it was Simone.
Unlike me, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self- reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her. Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not becoming the best, I need to learn from Simone and be kind to myself by taking a break or even asking for help if need be.
24. How did the author feel in high school?
A. Bored and tired. B. Nervous and anxious. C. Confident and proud. D. Excited and surprised.
25. What can we say about the author’s parents?
A. They had great expectations of the author. B. They fully understood the author’s situation.
C. They managed to lower the author’s pressure. D. They pushed the author to learn from Simone Biles.
26. How did Simone Biles influence the author?
A. She encouraged the author never to give up.
B. She taught the author useful self- reflective skills.
C. She showed the author the true meaning of perfection.
D. She made the author realize the value of mental health.
27. What is the best title for this text?
A. Pressure: how much is too much?
B. Simone Biles: the GOAT of the Olympics
C. Simone Biles, me, and the pressure of perfection
D. How do schools improve the mental health of students?

【解析】

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据根据第三段第二句“From what they had known about me when I was younger, they thought that I was perfect, and so I had to be perfect all the time. (从我小时候他们对我的了解来看,他们认为我是完美的,所以我必须一直保持完美。)”及最后一段第三句“Simon Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first.(西蒙·拜尔斯给我上了非常重要的一课:要成为有史以来最伟大的人,心理健康必须放在第一位。)”并结合全文内容可知,作者通过西蒙·拜尔斯和自己的亲身经历来告诉我们,当我们感觉自己不完美,不能使父母满意,且自己焦虑又紧张的时候,我们应该怎么做。所以短文的标题为“西蒙娜·拜尔斯,我,还有追求完美的压力”。故选C项。

There were still lots of aftershocks(余震), often this would lead to all the students running outside, normal classes were impossible. Lots of students were troubled by recent events and many would not sleep in their dormitories. On the afternoon after the earthquake there was a thunderstorm, the loud crack of thunder sent some students towards the door. As they returned, the relief and laughter were evident in this latest false alarm.
The weekend after the earthquake we were in Chengdu on a pre-arranged trip. During that weekend, there were dozens of aftershocks. It was at this time that we decided enough was enough; we would complete our contracts then leave that summer. At the end of that weekend, there had been over 400 aftershocks with a few measured as high as 6.0 on the Richter scale.
On Monday afternoon, exactly one week after the first shock, there was a memorial service on TV for those that died, were missing or injured. It was observed by all the students in my class, many were openly crying, others in silence with their heads down. The rest of that afternoon it was difficult to teach. I was getting an increased feeling of “I don’t want to be here anymore,” I could see many of the students did not want to be at school either.
We eventually left Wenchuan on the 15th of July; lots of students told us they were surprised we stayed that long. When we arrived in Sichuan province, we were not aware we were even in an earthquake area. Prior to 2008 there had not been a serious earthquake in the province since the 1930’s. By November 2008, there had been more than 40,000 reported aftershocks.
28. What does the underline phrase memorial service in the third paragraph mean?
A. A grand march B. A mourning ceremony C. A celebration party D. A great speech
29. What can we conclude from the passage according to the author?
A. A journalist who happened to be in the earthquake-stricken area,
B. A writer who collected materials for writing science fiction.
C. A tourist who was travelling in Sichuan during the earthquake.
D. A teacher who stayed with the students when the earthquake struck.
30. Why did some students laughed when they rushed to the door?
A. Because there were no more aftershocks. B. Because there would be no more classes.
C. Because they mistook the thunder as an aftershock. D. Because they were troubled by the terrible earthquake.
31. How might the author feel when he left Sichuan after July?
A. Relieved B. Surprised C. Shocked D. Disappointed
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章选自一位外籍教师在汶川大地震现场的个人经历,娓娓道来,语调平和,在巨大的自然灾害面前不慌乱,镇定从容,体现了一位一线教师的风范。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题 。根据划线处下文“on TV for those that died, were missing or injured. It was observed by all the students in my class, many were openly crying, others in silence with their heads down.”(电视台为那些死亡,失踪或受伤的人。我班上所有的学生都观看了节目,许多人当众哭了,其他人则低着头默默地。)可以看出,这是电视上播放的为地震中逝去的生命所做的默哀仪式,所以此处指电视上的节目为对逝者的“哀悼会”,选项B与文意相符,故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。 从文章第三段“It was observed by all the students in my class, many were openly crying, others in silence with their heads down.”(我班上所有的学生都观看了节目,许多人当众哭了,其他人则低着头默默地。)可知,作者是和学生们一起看了节目,可以推断,作者是和学生一起经历了汶川大地震的一名老师,选项D与文意相符,故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两句“On the afternoon after the earthquake there was a thunderstorm, the loud crack of thunder sent some students towards the door. As they returned, the relief and laughter were evident in this latest false alarm.”(地震后的那个下午,下起了雷雨,巨大的雷声让一些学生跑向门口。当他们回来的时候,在这次最近的虚惊中,他们明显感到了解脱和欢笑。)可知,学生们因为雷声跑到门口,发现自己错把雷声当成了警报,就忍不住笑了起来。选项C与文意相符,故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段中“I was getting an increased feeling of “I don’t want to be here anymore””(我越来越觉得”我不想再待在这里了),和最后一段中“We eventually left Wenchuan on the 15th of July”(我们最终在7月15日离开汶川)可以推知,作者在七月中旬离开汶川,所以应该是感到松一口气。选项A与文意相符,故选A项。
D
There was a time, not so long ago, when kids built castles, climbed trees, and rode bikes until dark. These outdoor adventures have not disappeared. They are just waiting to be rediscovered beyond screens.
While technology offers many benefits, the trend (趋势) of children having smartphones may change how they develop, play, and connect. According to TIME, much of the technology that kids are using is designed to be addictive. However, parents including Holly Moscatiello, the leader of the nonprofit The Balance Project, are helping children control the use of digital devices. She’s leading a counter-movement to get kids off screens and back into real life.
“We want to make experiencing community life as easy as using a phone,” she told TIME. The group is organizing community projects that make outdoor play exciting again, such as cycling to school together and Balance Boxes- kits with small toys and clay (黏土) for screen-free fun. It’s a simple reminder that independence and connection can develop when kids look up from their devices.
Moscatiello notes that smartphones have reshaped childhood nearly overnight: 89 percent of 12-year-old British kids own a smartphone and the average age of receiving one’s first phone is nine. To fight this, The Balance Project started a parent agreement in Oxfordshire, where parents of around 4,000 children promised not to give their kids smartphones until Year Nine (8th grade).
The goal of this group is solidarity — when everyone waits, no child feels left out. In one school in Oxfordshire, students lock their phones away during the day, and teachers report calmer classrooms. “Now we focus on school and study better,” a student at a smartphone-free school said.
By joining together, parents and communities are making it easier for the next generation to grow up rooted in real life instead of through a screen. Giving children back their time, freedom, and face-to-face friends is one of the best investments (投资) a parent can make towards a brighter future.
32. What does The Balance Project do to help children?
A. It teaches kids to use technology wisely. B. It offers free digital devices to poor families.
C. It trains parents to deal with screen addiction. D. It organizes activities to encourage outdoor play.
33. What can we learn about smartphone use from paragraph 4?
A. Many British kids refuse to use smartphones. B. Smartphones are common among British kids.
C. British kids get phones earlier than others. D. Most parents are against their kids using phones.
34. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solidarity” in paragraph 5?
A. Teamwork. B. Progress. C. Curiosity D. Independence
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kids’ Outdoor Activities Disappear. B. Smartphones Bring Harm to Children.
C. The Balance Project Becomes Popular. D. Bring Back a Smartphone-Free Childhood.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了智能手机对儿童的影响以及“平衡计划”这一组织如何通过组织活动来鼓励孩子们减少屏幕时间,更多地参与户外活动,从而找回无智能手机的童年。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The group is organizing community projects that make outdoor play exciting again, such as cycling to school together and Balance Boxes- kits with small toys and clay for screen-free fun.(该组织正在组织社区项目,让户外活动再次变得令人兴奋,比如一起骑自行车上学和平衡盒子——带有小玩具和黏土的成套工具,用于无屏幕娱乐。)”可知,“平衡计划”通过组织活动来鼓励孩子们参与户外活动。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Moscatiello notes that smartphones have reshaped childhood nearly overnight: 89 percent of 12-year-old British kids own a smartphone and the average age of receiving one’s first phone is nine.(莫斯科蒂洛指出,智能手机几乎在一夜之间改变了童年:89%的12岁英国孩子拥有智能手机,而获得第一部手机的平均年龄是9岁。)”可知,智能手机在英国孩子中很常见。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“when everyone waits, no child feels left out. (当大家都在等待时,没有一个孩子会觉得自己被冷落了。)”可知,这个组织的目标是让家长们达成一致,不让孩子感到被孤立,由此推测 solidarity的意思是“团结一致”,与 unity 含义相近。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了智能手机对儿童的影响以及“平衡计划”这一组织如何通过组织活动来鼓励孩子们减少屏幕时间,更多地参与户外活动,从而找回无智能手机的童年,所以选项D“找回无智能手机的童年”最能概括文章的主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍几种简单实用的技巧,帮助人们创作和讲述能让各个年龄段孩子都喜欢的篝火故事。
【36题详解】
空处为段落的小标题。根据下文“When telling campfire stories to children, include a bunch of fun and strange names for the characters. (当给孩子们讲篝火故事的时候,给角色起一些有趣而奇怪的名字。)”可知,本段论述的内容应该和篝火故事及故事中的人物取名有关。选项C“使用有趣又陌生的名字”,与下文内容“a bunch of fun and strange names for the characters”相对应,切题,故选C。
【37题详解】
本段的标题“Include animal characters(加入动物的性格)”说明段落描述的内容和动物的性格有关。结合前文“You try to make the bears gentle and the squirrels or deer the more aggressive (好斗的) ones.(你试图让熊变得温柔,让松鼠或鹿变得更具攻击性。)”可知,熊是属于有攻击性的动物,松鼠或鹿一般比较温顺,这里讲的是让这些动物有了其相反的性格,这样的性格赋予是有趣和具有创造性的。所以空处承接前文,讲述这样做的目的就是为了获得开心。选项B“只要开心,发挥创意就行”肯定了前文赋予熊、松鼠及鹿新的性格,可以实现故事的趣味性并让故事变得有创造性,符合题意,故选B。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Take turns(轮流)”及下文“This will often result in unforeseen twists and induce tons of laughter.(这往往会导致意想不到的转折,并诱发大量的笑声。)”表明了轮流的意义,因而空处应具体讲述轮流的方式。选项G“一个人先讲故事的一部分,另一个人再接下去讲。”描述了轮流的一种方式。符合语境,故选G。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Do not use a single voice when telling campfire stories to children.(给孩子们讲篝火故事时不要只用一个声音。) ”说明讲篝火故事时要注意声音不要单调。因而空处应承接前文讲述单调的声音会产生什么不好的结果。选项F“这样做甚至会最好的故事也变得枯燥乏味。”承接了前文,引出下文正确的做法“Talk in different tones and use a different infliction for each character. Alternate(交替)between whispering and talking louder.(用不同的语调并针对每个角色采用不同的表达方式。时而轻声细语,时而大声说话。)”,故选F。
【40题详解】
根据前文“Using these tips will make telling campfire stories fun and exciting.( 使用这些技巧将使讲述篝火故事变得有趣和令人兴奋。) ”说明使用技巧讲故事会让故事有趣,同时让听众兴奋。后文“Once you get going, the kids may beg for more stories, until your voice is sore(疼的). It will be well worth it.(一旦你开始了,孩子们可能会乞求更多的故事,直到你的声音酸痛。这一切都是值得的。)”说明一旦你用了这些技巧,那么孩子们就会有听故事的渴望,因此可推知,空处应该讲述要有做好讲故事的准备。选项A“但是要做好准备”符合题意,故选A。

Jane’s school hours were in the morning, therefore she would take it first. She would hurry back and give it to Mike after school. Then he could run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Their parents didn’t notice that at all but they were always worried about it.
Accidentally, Mike heard about a long distance race that was designed for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new dictionary, he made up his mind to take part. He ran home excitedly and gave his word to his sister that he would win her the new dictionary.
The day of race eventually arrived. Mike had a strong start, however, he felt tired and was gradually left behind. Getting more and more exhausted, he thought only of Jane and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new dictionary he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he took courage to keep in step with the two fastest runners, determined to finish third.

But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Mike won the third prize. Mike was on the top of the world and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the dictionary close to his chest.
Full of happiness, Mike went home hurriedly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Mike found Jane was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. “Jane, see what I have got for you.” Mike said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Jane saw the dictionary, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Mike. “Thank you! Mike.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
