Passage 1:
Film has seen great progress over the years. While actors and directors often receive most of the praise, the heroes behind the screen are the musicians who make a film unforgettable. 1 This is the kind of music we call a film score (配乐). It has developed through several stages.
In the silent film era, music was used to fill the silence. 2 They had to respond in real time to the changing scenes, adjusting their music to match the mood. This was the early form of film scoring.
The shift from live performance to written scores began in the early 1900s. French composer (作家) Camille Saint-Saens was the first to write original music specially for film. This marked a new stage of film scoring. 3 They worked closely with directors. As sound technology advanced, film scoring became an important part of the film-making process.
4 By the mid-20th century, they grew to include rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. Films like Saturday Night Fever used popular music to define both character and culture. In science fiction films, electronic sounds were used to create a sense of the unknown.
Today, film musicians continue to shape the way we experience films. Masters like Hans Zimmer have moved us deeply with the beautiful score in Interstellar. Combining traditional instruments with digital production in innovative ways, he has brought us new sounds. 5
A.The film industry gained big success.
B.From then on, more composers joined in.
C.Musicians would play live music in theaters.
D.As a new kind of music, it faced many challenges.
E.His music takes us on a whole new journey of the senses.
F.Through the years, film scores took on various musical styles.
G.Their music deepens emotion and connects the audience to the story.

Passage 2:
How to Be a Better Traveler: A Guide for Everyone
We all love to travel and see new places, but it’s important to remember that how we travel affects the world around us. 1 . With a little awareness (意识) and effort, each of us can help protect the places we visit. Here are some simple but powerful ways to make a difference.
2
A great journey starts before you leave home. Take some time to learn about your destination. Read about its culture, history, customs, and even its current social problems. You don’t need to become an expert, but a little research will help you understand what to expect. This prepares you to interact with local people in a respectful way and helps you avoid accidentally being rude. A well-prepared traveler is a welcome traveler.
Learn a few local words
One of the best ways to connect with people is through language. 3 . Just learning simple greetings like “hello,” “thank you,” and “goodbye” can make a big difference. Locals always appreciate it when visitors try to speak their language, even just a little. It makes interactions friendlier and smoother. If you’re traveling to a remote area, knowing a few key phrases can be especially helpful for basic communication.
Be kind to the environment
4 . It’s our job to protect them. You can reduce your environmental impact in many small ways. Choose reusable water bottles and bags instead of plastic ones. Always throw your trash in a bin. Use public transportation when you can — it’s a great way to see local life and reduce pollution. Support businesses and tour guides who care about nature. 5 .
A.You don’t need to be fluent
B.Do your homework before you go
C.Get to know the history and customs.
D.Popular destinations can suffer from too many visitors
E.The good news is that becoming a better traveler isn’t hard
F.Become a responsible traveler who respects our wonderful world.
G.The goal is simple: try to leave every place as beautiful as you found it.

Passage 4:
Neither of us has ever been to a cat cafe although I’ve heard of cat cafes in Japan. So when we saw The Cat Brothers Cafe near our hotel in Chiang Mai, we knew we had to stop by. 1
Generally speaking, the biggest complaint about cat cafes is that the cats are uninterested in visitors. Instead, what they prefer to do is spend their time away from the coffee-drinking customers, who were usually cat lovers as well. 2 It is home to roughly 20 cats who were all full of energy. During our visit, we had 4-5 cats hanging around our table at any given time. They seemed to welcome, or at least enjoyed being petted. They were far more friendly than we expected. There are a number of baskets and cat houses spreading around the room. 3 Even the sleeping cats could be made for great photos. So if you are a photographer lover, you will find many surprises here.
4 The first floor is cat-free. And it is especially perfect if you’re looking to get some work done. Some writers and white-collar workers like to choose this floor.
The second floor is where the interaction is. Be prepared for lots of cat-action, especially if you buy the cat food downstairs. 5 When you run out of food, grab one of the many toys laying around and have some fun with the playful cats. If you, or the cats, are tired of playing, just sit back and catch some interesting shots of cute cats and taste some delicious coffee.
A.It only costs 200 JPY.
B.The cat cafe actually has two levels.
C.Luckily, the cats here were super friendly.
D.You can’t bring your own food to the cat cafe.
E.So if the cats felt tired, they were able to hide away.
F.It was an appealing and comfortable casual-style cat cafe.
G.If the cats were still energetic, they would continue playing.

Passage 5:
Body Language Tips for Your Next Interview
Body language can reveal yourselves, and interviewers are definitely paying attention to it. For a job interview, you want to present the best version of yourself. 1
Make a solid first impression. The interview begins as soon as you enter the building. When you connect with whomever you encounter, maintain strong eye contact and introduce yourself confidently. If you are in a waiting area, avoid hunching over (弯腰驼背) our phone. 2 Instead, sit upright in a comfortable position.
3 Discomfort is another issue that can be very disturbing for both you and the interviewer. Buying a nice pair of new shoes or a belt to match your suit may seem like a great idea, but if your wardrobe (衣柜) causes you to be nervous or do a lot of shifting, consider going with a proper but reliable choice instead.
Be responsive and listen to understand. It’s natural to tell the interviewer all about yourself and the achievements and experiences that make you stand out. But don’t forget to listen and engage with what the interviewers are saying. 4 And how you behave when you’re not talking is an important part of the impression you’ll make.
Be mindful of your hands. Interviewers are trying to get a sense of who you are, so let your personality shine through! This includes talking with your hands if that comes naturally to you. Stifling a feature like this can actually lead to unnecessary nervousness. 5
A.Buy new clothes before the interview.
B.Think twice before wearing the new shoes.
C.Just adopt the tips below to impress interviewers
D.They will be looking to assess your interpersonal skills.
E.They will assume you are not interested in your future position.
F.This kind of body language can be easily understood as boredom.
G.So feel free to use your hands to communicate effectively and sincerely.

Passage 4:
Effective cross-cultural communication goes beyond the mere exchange of words. It involves a deep under-standing of cultural adaptability. 1 In this global dance of diplomacy (外交), the mastery of certain strategies can significantly enhance the efficiency, and effectiveness of communication.
At the heart of effective cross-cultural communication lies cultural awareness, the foundation upon which all other strategies are built. 2 It involves a deep understanding and respect for these differences, recognizing how they influence behaviors, and communication styles. This awareness is crucial in removing potential misunderstandings and enhancing an environment of respect.
In cross-cultural communication, active listening goes beyond the basic act of hearing words spoken by another person. It involves fully engaging with the speaker, understanding their message in context. Active listening is fundamental in building trust, respect, and understanding across cultural divides. 3 It’s a demonstration of respect and a powerful tool in overcoming the complexities of cross-cultural communication.
In the rich aspect of global interactions, where diverse languages and cultures co-exist, the value of clarity and simplicity in communication cannot be overstated. 4 By prioritizing clear and straightforward communication, we can significantly reduce the risk of misunderstandings and ensure that our messages are understood as intended.
5 Understanding and correctly interpreting these silent signals can be as significant as the spoken word. Non-verbal communication includes body language, facial expressions, and so on. All of them can vary dramatically from one culture to another. Cultural norms (规范) determine what is considered appropriate or offensive in non-verbal communication, making it a field ripe for misunderstandings.
A.Listening positively is more than a skill.
B.Language acts as both a bridge and a barrier.
C.Language mastery is more than just the ability to communicate.
D.Non-verbal indications reveal our unspoken intentions and feelings.
E.Complex language, and idiomatic expressions can easily lead to confusion.

Passage 5:
Ecotherapy (生态疗法) is an emerging field that uses contact with nature to support mental and physical health. Its practices are becoming more common, ranging from sitting quietly in a park listening to birdsong to starting a small garden. 1 .
Interest in the field is growing as research shows a strong link between nature and well-being. Some studies suggest that contact with soil can actually improve a person’s mood. 2 . Nature is no longer seen as just a personal habit. It is now a serious method that deserves attention.
3 . Dr. Robert Zarr gives his patients “park prescriptions (药方)” that explain exactly which park to visit and how long to stay. He believes this is more effective than general advice like “exercise more.” Because parks are mapped and rated, this approach is low-cost and easy for patients to follow.
The benefits of being outdoors go beyond physical health. A UK study found that people who exercised outdoors felt less anger and sadness than those in gyms. In hospitals, patients with a view of trees often recover faster. 4 : for early humans, observing open landscapes — especially savannas (草原) — was essential for survival, so natural settings still cause positive emotional responses today. Our brains are built to connect with the natural world.
Biologist E. O. Wilson argues that humans are naturally connected to other living things. When this connection is lost, people may feel stressed and disconnected. Spending time in nature can restore this bond and reduce stress. 5 . People benefit most when they not only enjoy nature but also protect it. Caring for parks or trees can give people purpose and improve their health.
A.This shift has even reached medical clinics
B.This effect can be explained in evolutionary terms
C.They may look simple, but they can have real health benefits
D.Researchers are comparing indoor and outdoor exercise results
E.Ecotherapy, however, stresses balance between people and nature
F.Because of this, training programs for ecotherapists are expanding
G.Some doctors remain cautious about recommending nature-based activities

科技创新 · 当科技走向物理世界(Physical AI)
你可能已经习惯了与 Siri 或 ChatGPT 这样的“虚拟大脑”打交道。但 2026 年,一股新的技术浪潮正将人工智能从电脑屏幕中拉入现实。____1_____ Its development marks a key shift from the digital world to the physical realm (领域).
Unlike traditional AI, which works purely with text, images, or sounds inside a computer, Physical AI is embedded (嵌入) into machines. 2 This allows machines to perform complex tasks in the real world, such as a robot sorting packages in a warehouse or a drone delivering medicine to a remote village.
The development of Physical AI, however, is not an easy task. It relies on a combination of advanced hardware and software. 3 Meanwhile, it needs to be powered by real-time data processing to make quick decisions, similar to how a driver must react instantly to avoid an accident.
Though facing high costs and technical hurdles, experts remain confident about its future. 4 As Chinese tech companies make breakthroughs in sensor technology and robotics manufacturing, they are expected to play a crucial role in making Physical AI more widely accessible.
Welcome to the age of Physical AI, where intelligence meets action. 5
A. For example, it might use a robotic arm to move an object.
B. The future is not just about screens anymore; it’s about the world around us.
C. This new type of intelligence is called Physical AI.
D. They argue that these challenges can be solved step by step.
E. However, it is the same as traditional AI and has no practical use.
F. They point out that hardware remains the biggest limitation for AI development.
G. This requires powerful chips and high-precision sensors to work together.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. G 4. D 5. B
【解析】
1.C (主旨句)
上下文提到“一股新的技术浪潮”,且空后进一步阐述“这一发展标志着从数字世界到物理世界的关键转变”,根据同义复现原则,应选择直接引出新概念 Physical AI 的选项 C。E项“与传统AI相同且没有实际用途”与文章主题完全矛盾。
2.A (段中例证)
上文提到“Physical AI被嵌入到机器中”,下文举例机器人分拣包裹和无人机送药,此处应是具体解释其工作原理。A项“例如,它可能使用机械臂移动物体”完美衔接上下文,提供了契合的例证。B项虽然提到了未来趋势,但并不适合具体解释工作原理的语境。
3.G (因果逻辑)
空前提到“依赖于先进硬件与软件的结合”,空后提到“需要实时数据快速决策”,根据并列递进关系,G项“这需要强大的芯片和高精度传感器协同工作”可作为硬件支撑的关键环节。F项“硬件仍是最大限制”与下文内容方向无关。
4.D (语义复现)
空前说“尽管面临成本和挑战,专家仍然充满信心”,空后说“中国企业将助力其普及”,这里应是专家的正面态度。D项“他们认为这些问题可以一步步解决”与“confident”和“play a crucial role”保持积极语义一致,形成顺畅过渡。
5.B (段尾总结)
全文结尾需要对Physical AI时代进行总结,与开头的科技浪潮相呼应。B项“未来不再只是关于屏幕,而是关于我们周围的世界”呼应文章核心思想,起到了承上启下的总结作用。

Passage 1:
Film has seen great progress over the years. While actors and directors often receive most of the praise, the heroes behind the screen are the musicians who make a film unforgettable. 1 This is the kind of music we call a film score (配乐). It has developed through several stages.
In the silent film era, music was used to fill the silence. 2 They had to respond in real time to the changing scenes, adjusting their music to match the mood. This was the early form of film scoring.
The shift from live performance to written scores began in the early 1900s. French composer (作家) Camille Saint-Saens was the first to write original music specially for film. This marked a new stage of film scoring. 3 They worked closely with directors. As sound technology advanced, film scoring became an important part of the film-making process.
4 By the mid-20th century, they grew to include rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. Films like Saturday Night Fever used popular music to define both character and culture. In science fiction films, electronic sounds were used to create a sense of the unknown.
Today, film musicians continue to shape the way we experience films. Masters like Hans Zimmer have moved us deeply with the beautiful score in Interstellar. Combining traditional instruments with digital production in innovative ways, he has brought us new sounds. 5
A.The film industry gained big success.
B.From then on, more composers joined in.
C.Musicians would play live music in theaters.
D.As a new kind of music, it faced many challenges.
E.His music takes us on a whole new journey of the senses.
F.Through the years, film scores took on various musical styles.
G.Their music deepens emotion and connects the audience to the story.
Passage 2:
How to Be a Better Traveler: A Guide for Everyone
We all love to travel and see new places, but it’s important to remember that how we travel affects the world around us. 1 . With a little awareness (意识) and effort, each of us can help protect the places we visit. Here are some simple but powerful ways to make a difference.
2
A great journey starts before you leave home. Take some time to learn about your destination. Read about its culture, history, customs, and even its current social problems. You don’t need to become an expert, but a little research will help you understand what to expect. This prepares you to interact with local people in a respectful way and helps you avoid accidentally being rude. A well-prepared traveler is a welcome traveler.
Learn a few local words
One of the best ways to connect with people is through language. 3 . Just learning simple greetings like “hello,” “thank you,” and “goodbye” can make a big difference. Locals always appreciate it when visitors try to speak their language, even just a little. It makes interactions friendlier and smoother. If you’re traveling to a remote area, knowing a few key phrases can be especially helpful for basic communication.
Be kind to the environment
4 . It’s our job to protect them. You can reduce your environmental impact in many small ways. Choose reusable water bottles and bags instead of plastic ones. Always throw your trash in a bin. Use public transportation when you can — it’s a great way to see local life and reduce pollution. Support businesses and tour guides who care about nature. 5 .
A.You don’t need to be fluent
B.Do your homework before you go
C.Get to know the history and customs.
D.Popular destinations can suffer from too many visitors
E.The good news is that becoming a better traveler isn’t hard
F.Become a responsible traveler who respects our wonderful world.
G.The goal is simple: try to leave every place as beautiful as you found it.
Passage 3:
When it comes to traveling with kids, whether it’s a short weekend getaway — a road trip or a luxurious camping adventure, the challenges increase. 1 . They will ensure you’re well-prepared for any situation.
Travel at your family’s pace(节奏)
2 , but that’s perfectly fine. Take the opportunity to explore together at a pace that suits your family. It’s about the experience, so you can plan one main activity and leave the rest of the day for exploration.
Involve kids in the planning process
It’s a great idea to engage your children in the vacation planning process. 3 . You can make it fun by creating family flashcards with interesting facts about the places you’ll visit. This not only gets them excited but also educates them about the approaching adventure.
4
Traveling to new places can be a fantastic educational experience for both parents and kids. The educational travel has gained popularity, with hotels and tour companies offering experiences that teach something new. Encourage your children to explore their interests and choose activities and trips that satisfy their curiosity.
Plan with a travel company
Planning a trip with kids can be quite challenging. While some parents enjoy organizing every detail, others find it stressful. Using a travel company can ease the burden of coordination (协调), allowing you to focus on other pre-trip tasks. 5
A.The following are some practical tips
B.Use travel as an educational opportunity
C.Research experiences of fellow travelers
D.It provides peace of mind during your journey
E.You don’t necessarily have to hand them a globe
F.Family travel might be different from traveling alone
G.It’s a convenient option for families with busy schedules
Passage 4:
Neither of us has ever been to a cat cafe although I’ve heard of cat cafes in Japan. So when we saw The Cat Brothers Cafe near our hotel in Chiang Mai, we knew we had to stop by. 1
Generally speaking, the biggest complaint about cat cafes is that the cats are uninterested in visitors. Instead, what they prefer to do is spend their time away from the coffee-drinking customers, who were usually cat lovers as well. 2 It is home to roughly 20 cats who were all full of energy. During our visit, we had 4-5 cats hanging around our table at any given time. They seemed to welcome, or at least enjoyed being petted. They were far more friendly than we expected. There are a number of baskets and cat houses spreading around the room. 3 Even the sleeping cats could be made for great photos. So if you are a photographer lover, you will find many surprises here.
4 The first floor is cat-free. And it is especially perfect if you’re looking to get some work done. Some writers and white-collar workers like to choose this floor.

Passage 5:
Body Language Tips for Your Next Interview
Body language can reveal yourselves, and interviewers are definitely paying attention to it. For a job interview, you want to present the best version of yourself. 1
Make a solid first impression. The interview begins as soon as you enter the building. When you connect with whomever you encounter, maintain strong eye contact and introduce yourself confidently. If you are in a waiting area, avoid hunching over (弯腰驼背) our phone. 2 Instead, sit upright in a comfortable position.
3 Discomfort is another issue that can be very disturbing for both you and the interviewer. Buying a nice pair of new shoes or a belt to match your suit may seem like a great idea, but if your wardrobe (衣柜) causes you to be nervous or do a lot of shifting, consider going with a proper but reliable choice instead.
Be responsive and listen to understand. It’s natural to tell the interviewer all about yourself and the achievements and experiences that make you stand out. But don’t forget to listen and engage with what the interviewers are saying. 4 And how you behave when you’re not talking is an important part of the impression you’ll make.
Be mindful of your hands. Interviewers are trying to get a sense of who you are, so let your personality shine through! This includes talking with your hands if that comes naturally to you. Stifling a feature like this can actually lead to unnecessary nervousness. 5
A.Buy new clothes before the interview.
B.Think twice before wearing the new shoes.
C.Just adopt the tips below to impress interviewers
D.They will be looking to assess your interpersonal skills.
E.They will assume you are not interested in your future position.

Blogs
The Learning English Broadcast is a 30-minute daily blog that features the audio (音频) from our main stories each day. Listening to the blog will help develop your ability to understand spoken English. 2 Once you have finished a program, tell someone what you have learned.
Published materials
3 Buy an English- language publication to read it while you are waiting or spending quiet time at a hotel or in a home. Look at the images and read the lines below them. Even if you do not understand all the words, you can use the images to help you understand some of them. Later, you can use an online dictionary to look up the words you want to learn.
Conversation
While traveling, it is not unusual to see people from other countries. 4 If you hear someone asking for information in English, you might offer to help or simply greet them in English to talk. A friendly chat is usually welcome as travelers share their experiences.
Writing about your day

Passage 4:
Effective cross-cultural communication goes beyond the mere exchange of words. It involves a deep under-standing of cultural adaptability. 1 In this global dance of diplomacy (外交), the mastery of certain strategies can significantly enhance the efficiency, and effectiveness of communication.
At the heart of effective cross-cultural communication lies cultural awareness, the foundation upon which all other strategies are built. 2 It involves a deep understanding and respect for these differences, recognizing how they influence behaviors, and communication styles. This awareness is crucial in removing potential misunderstandings and enhancing an environment of respect.
In cross-cultural communication, active listening goes beyond the basic act of hearing words spoken by another person. It involves fully engaging with the speaker, understanding their message in context. Active listening is fundamental in building trust, respect, and understanding across cultural divides. 3 It’s a demonstration of respect and a powerful tool in overcoming the complexities of cross-cultural communication.
In the rich aspect of global interactions, where diverse languages and cultures co-exist, the value of clarity and simplicity in communication cannot be overstated. 4 By prioritizing clear and straightforward communication, we can significantly reduce the risk of misunderstandings and ensure that our messages are understood as intended.
5 Understanding and correctly interpreting these silent signals can be as significant as the spoken word. Non-verbal communication includes body language, facial expressions, and so on. All of them can vary dramatically from one culture to another. Cultural norms (规范) determine what is considered appropriate or offensive in non-verbal communication, making it a field ripe for misunderstandings.
A.Listening positively is more than a skill.
B.Language acts as both a bridge and a barrier.
C.Language mastery is more than just the ability to communicate.
D.Non-verbal indications reveal our unspoken intentions and feelings.
E.Complex language, and idiomatic expressions can easily lead to confusion.
F.Cultural awareness goes beyond mere acknowledgment of cultural differences.
G.So it enables individuals to bridge the gaps that differences in culture can create.
Passage 5:
Ecotherapy (生态疗法) is an emerging field that uses contact with nature to support mental and physical health. Its practices are becoming more common, ranging from sitting quietly in a park listening to birdsong to starting a small garden. 1 .
Interest in the field is growing as research shows a strong link between nature and well-being. Some studies suggest that contact with soil can actually improve a person’s mood. 2 . Nature is no longer seen as just a personal habit. It is now a serious method that deserves attention.
3 . Dr. Robert Zarr gives his patients “park prescriptions (药方)” that explain exactly which park to visit and how long to stay. He believes this is more effective than general advice like “exercise more.” Because parks are mapped and rated, this approach is low-cost and easy for patients to follow.
The benefits of being outdoors go beyond physical health. A UK study found that people who exercised outdoors felt less anger and sadness than those in gyms. In hospitals, patients with a view of trees often recover faster. 4 : for early humans, observing open landscapes — especially savannas (草原) — was essential for survival, so natural settings still cause positive emotional responses today. Our brains are built to connect with the natural world.
Biologist E. O. Wilson argues that humans are naturally connected to other living things. When this connection is lost, people may feel stressed and disconnected. Spending time in nature can restore this bond and reduce stress. 5 . People benefit most when they not only enjoy nature but also protect it. Caring for parks or trees can give people purpose and improve their health.
A.This shift has even reached medical clinics
B.This effect can be explained in evolutionary terms
C.They may look simple, but they can have real health benefits
D.Researchers are comparing indoor and outdoor exercise results
E.Ecotherapy, however, stresses balance between people and nature
F.Because of this, training programs for ecotherapists are expanding
G.Some doctors remain cautious about recommending nature-based activities
