Today’s modern travelers are journeying further to explore Europe off the beaten track, and bringing home new skills and experience. Here are 4 ideas for an unusual holiday in Europe.
Volunteer in Transylvania
Transylvania is a top choice for an unusual European city break, with wonderfully preserved medieval(中世纪的) towns and castles that inspired the famous novel Dracula. In addition, you can take your unusual holiday experience even further by volunteering in Eastern Europe’s largest bear reserve and working with bears.
Teach skiing in Austria
Austria is one of Europe’s top skiing destinations. If you’re looking for a more unusual way to spend winter holiday, why not consider training to be a ski instructor there?

This volunteer project combines diving with collecting plastic or other waste from the water, alongside giving you the chance to explore the city.
Explore Tuscany on horseback
Tuscany, one of the best places in Europe to explore on horseback, has witnessed a sharp increase in travelers.

You don’t need to have any experience for horse riding holidays, and they are a brilliant alternative to your typical guided tour.

On a quiet summer morning at Mares Pond in Cape Cod, something unusual is happening. Fifteen women in their sixties and seventies are putting on swimming suit and preparing to dive (潜水). But they’re not here just to swim-they’re on a special mission to clean the pond.
One by one, they jump into the water. Soon, shouts of “Found something!” break the silence. A swimmer surfaces holding bright blue children’s goggles (护目镜). Another pulls up a fishing line. The most exciting find is a long piece of metal that takes several women to lift. By lunchtime, their collection includes beer cans, plastic items, and even a brick.
They belong to the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG), a non-profit organization started in 2017 by Susan Baur, a 67-year-old retired professor. Susan first noticed the waste while swimming in ponds for exercise. “I used to follow the beer cans as my targets to add meaning to my exercise, ” she laughs. What began as a personal project soon grew when friends asked to join.
The women say cleaning ponds is more than just good exercise. “It’s like discovering a secret world,” says Robin Melavalin. “We see fish, turtles, and beautiful plants — things most people never notice. While some question why they call themselves “old ladies” or don’t include men, Susan explains, “We want to show what older women can do. Age doesn’t have to stop you from helping the environment.”
New members are often surprised by what they achieve. Many swim further or lift heavier objects than they thought possible. “You should see their faces when they come back,” Susan says. “They’re tired but so proud.” For these women, cleaning ponds has become about more than cleaning waste — it’s about friendship, purpose, and proving you’re never too old to make a difference.
4. What are the seniors doing in the pond?
A. They are teaching others to swim. B. They are removing rubbish from ponds.
C. They are studying underwater plants. D. They are competing in swimming races.
5. Why was OLAUG set up?
A. To find the items lost in the pond.
B. To protect endangered species in the pond.
C. To combine workout and environmental protection.
D. To provide swimming training for the elderly.
6. How do OLAUG members probably feel about their work?
A. Satisfied though tired B. Bored and tired.
C. Pleased though scared D. Anxious and challenged.
7. What does the article suggest about aging?
A. Older people can’t learn new things. B. Only the young can shape the world.
C. Older women can try swimming to keep fit. D. Age can’t limit what you are capable of.
C
Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device (追踪设备) to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas.
Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird “family” as crows and bluejays. They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.
The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed tracking device.
Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker, weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly.
The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.
Scientists refer to this as “rescue behavior,” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual. They think this is the first time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies. However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses or if others offered help.
The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how science works sometimes. The scientists need to try again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
8. What can we learn about Australian magpies from paragraph 2?
A. They have good team spirit. B. They are smarter than crows.
C. They are hardly found. D. They learn from each other.
9. What is a big advantage of the new tracking device?
A. It doesn’t need to be re-charged. B. It can be applied to all birds.
C. It has limited data storage. D. It is lighter in weight.
10. What happened to the magpies after the trackers were attached to them?
A. They couldn’t fly as normal.
B. They were warned by other magpies.
C. They helped each other to remove the trackers.
D. They were driven out of their home by other adult magpies.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult
B. Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson
C. The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature
D. Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies
D
Most people visit national parks expecting to see natural wonders like forests, waterfalls, and animals. What they don’t expect are piles of trash left by tourists who don’t think about how such waste hurts the environment. Now, there’s an app to not only track this waste but also get rid of it.
According to Travel + Leisure, the community group 5 Gyres Institute has developed an app called TrashBlitz that will record trash thrown away in national parks. By noting what kinds of trash are found, the goal is to encourage people to cut down on waste that pollutes the parks.
If you’re walking through Yellowstone and find a place with lots of empty bottles or wrappers, you can use the TrashBlitz app to write down where the trash is and any clean-up work you do. This data can then be used to create plans for policy changes, including possible laws and activities to tell visitors to clean up and use things that can be recycled or used again.
The group’s 2024 clean-up effort had 259 events at 58 sites, like Olympic National Park. The group collected information as well as reports from volunteers. Based on the data, they found the biggest problem is plastic, which makes up about 77% of all reported trash. Food wrappers are the most common type of plastic litter, but soda bottles, wet wipes, and bottle caps are also usual. Paper is the second most found trash, and metals and fabrics make up the rest.
“I found small colorful pieces of plastic in Biscayne National Park,” a volunteer said. “I also saw lots of bags, cups, and takeout boxes broken into tiny pieces along the roads to Everglades National Park. The smaller plastic gets, the more easily it can enter the food chain and the harder it is to remove from nature.”
TrashBlitz isn’t just for parks: It works for local clean-ups in communities too. Recent reports include surveys in Los Angeles, Denver, and Austin. Their work is supported by laws: In 2024, the U. S. Department of the Interior said it would not allow people to use single-use plastics in parks.
12. Why was the app invented?
A. To help reuse trash in national parks. B. To solve trash problems in national parks.
C. To find volunteers to clean national parks. D. To punish those who litter in national parks.
13. What is the data collected by the app used for?
A. Helping make new rules. B. Educating volunteers.
C. Creating plans for volunteers. D. Deciding where to put trash.
14. What does the data from the group’s 2024 clean-up effort show?
A. The challenges of cleaning up trash. B. The increase of all kinds of trash.
C. The effects and reuse of trash. D. The types and percentages of trash.
15. What does the last paragraph say about the app?
A. It has improved its system recently. B. It often surveys user’s experiences.
C. It functions well in many places. D. It is waiting for laws to recognize it.

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon when a family of four decided to explore the woods near their home. With their camping equipment, they embarked on a much-anticipated trip in the nearby woods, full of excitement.
Upon arrival, the parents set up the tent while their two children, Max and Emma, wandered around and looked for fun. They were especially thrilled, laughter echoing through the woods. Max, the big brother, proposed to go deeper into the woods and explore more. Emma followed.
As they walked along the narrow path, chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard a strange noise coming from a thick bush. Feeling a little bit scared, Emma came closer to her brother. Then, they noticed another sound. Even with the scare and nervousness, curiosity got the better of them. They carefully approached the source of that sound.
To their big surprise, they found a small, injured fox lying there, making some heartbroken sounds. Taking a closer look, Max found that one of her legs was bleeding, and she looked weak and scared. Emma’ s heart ached at the sight of the poor creature. “We can’t just leave her here. Let’s do something,” she begged, looking determined. Max hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement.
Emma suggested coming back to the camping site and called their parents for help. But they worried the fox could be attacked by other bigger animals. Then Max decided to take the fox back. They knew they had to be extremely careful, not scaring the fox and not causing further injury.
Slowly, Max made his first attempt. He took off his coat and tried to gently place it over the fox. The fox, sensing Max’s approach, struggled to run away but failed due to her bleeding leg. Max did another try. This time, he succeeded. He covered the fox carefully with his coat. The fox still whined(哀鸣) sadly, but didn’t run away. With great care, they lifted the fox and carried her back.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Once they arrived, they quickly called their parents.

On a quiet summer morning at Mares Pond in Cape Cod, something unusual is happening. Fifteen women in their sixties and seventies are putting on swimming suit and preparing to dive (潜水). But they’re not here just to swim-they’re on a special mission to clean the pond.
One by one, they jump into the water. Soon, shouts of “Found something!” break the silence. A swimmer surfaces holding bright blue children’s goggles (护目镜). Another pulls up a fishing line. The most exciting find is a long piece of metal that takes several women to lift. By lunchtime, their collection includes beer cans, plastic items, and even a brick.
They belong to the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG), a non-profit organization started in 2017 by Susan Baur, a 67-year-old retired professor. Susan first noticed the waste while swimming in ponds for exercise. “I used to follow the beer cans as my targets to add meaning to my exercise, ” she laughs. What began as a personal project soon grew when friends asked to join.
The women say cleaning ponds is more than just good exercise. “It’s like discovering a secret world,” says Robin Melavalin. “We see fish, turtles, and beautiful plants — things most people never notice. While some question why they call themselves “old ladies” or don’t include men, Susan explains, “We want to show what older women can do. Age doesn’t have to stop you from helping the environment.”
New members are often surprised by what they achieve. Many swim further or lift heavier objects than they thought possible. “You should see their faces when they come back,” Susan says. “They’re tired but so proud.” For these women, cleaning ponds has become about more than cleaning waste — it’s about friendship, purpose, and proving you’re never too old to make a difference.
4. What are the seniors doing in the pond?
A. They are teaching others to swim. B. They are removing rubbish from ponds.
C. They are studying underwater plants. D. They are competing in swimming races.
5. Why was OLAUG set up?
A. To find the items lost in the pond.
B. To protect endangered species in the pond.
C. To combine workout and environmental protection.
D. To provide swimming training for the elderly.
6. How do OLAUG members probably feel about their work?
A. Satisfied though tired B. Bored and tired.
C. Pleased though scared D. Anxious and challenged.
7. What does the article suggest about aging?
A. Older people can’t learn new things. B. Only the young can shape the world.
C. Older women can try swimming to keep fit. D. Age can’t limit what you are capable of.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了一群老年女性组成组织清理池塘,展现环保与自我价值。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But they’re not here just to swim-they’re on a special mission to clean the pond.(但她们来这里不只是为了游泳——她们还有一项特殊任务,就是清理池塘)”以及第二段中“By lunchtime, their collection includes beer cans, plastic items, and even a brick.(到午饭时间,她们收集的物品包括啤酒罐、塑料制品,甚至还有一块砖)”可知,这些老人在池塘里清除垃圾。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Susan first noticed the waste while swimming in ponds for exercise. “I used to follow the beer cans as my targets to add meaning to my exercise, ” she laughs. What began as a personal project soon grew when friends asked to join.(苏珊最初是在池塘里游泳锻炼时注意到这些垃圾的。她笑着说:“我过去常常把啤酒罐当作目标,让我的锻炼更有意义。”当朋友们要求加入时,这个最初的个人项目很快就发展起来了)”可知,OLAUG的成立是为了将锻炼和环境保护结合起来。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““You should see their faces when they come back,” Susan says. “They’re tired but so proud.”(“你应该看看她们回来时的表情,”苏珊说。“她们很累,但很自豪。”)”可推知,OLAUG的成员可能对她们的工作感到虽然疲惫,但心满意足。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“While some question why they call themselves “old ladies” or don’t include men, Susan explains, “We want to show what older women can do. Age doesn’t have to stop you from helping the environment.”(虽然有些人质疑她们为什么称自己为“老太太”,或者为什么不包括男性,苏珊解释说:“我们想展示老年妇女能做什么。年龄并不能阻止你保护环境。”)”以及最后一段中“For these women, cleaning ponds has become about more than cleaning waste — it’s about friendship, purpose, and proving you’re never too old to make a difference.(对这些女性来说,清理池塘不仅仅是为了清理垃圾——更是为了友谊、目标和证明你永远不会因为年纪大而不能有所作为)”可推知,文章暗示年龄不能限制你的能力。

Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device (追踪设备) to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas.
Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird “family” as crows and bluejays. They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.
The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed tracking device.
Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker, weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly.
The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.
Scientists refer to this as “rescue behavior,” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual. They think this is the first time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies. However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses or if others offered help.
The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how science works sometimes. The scientists need to try again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
8. What can we learn about Australian magpies from paragraph 2?
A. They have good team spirit. B. They are smarter than crows.
C. They are hardly found. D. They learn from each other.
9. What is a big advantage of the new tracking device?
A. It doesn’t need to be re-charged. B. It can be applied to all birds.
C. It has limited data storage. D. It is lighter in weight.
10. What happened to the magpies after the trackers were attached to them?
A. They couldn’t fly as normal.
B. They were warned by other magpies.
C. They helped each other to remove the trackers.
D. They were driven out of their home by other adult magpies.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult
B. Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson
C. The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature
D. Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The new tracker, weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. (这款新追踪器重不到1克,旨在克服这些问题。)”可知,新追踪设备的最大优势是重量轻。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore. (在最后一只喜鹊装上追踪器后的10分钟内,一只没有追踪器的成年雌性喜鹊试图从一只年幼的喜鹊身上拆除背带,最终成功了。这种模式在接下来的几小时里重复出现,到第三天所有的鸟都没有追踪器了。)”可知,喜鹊们相互帮助拆除了追踪器。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device (追踪设备) to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas. (澳大利亚的科学家们认为他们开发了一种新的追踪设备来帮助监测喜鹊,但这些鸟另有想法。)”以及最后一段“The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. (研究团队没有获得他们想要的数据,但他们的实验仍然产生了有趣的结果。)”可知,喜鹊给科学家们上了一堂意外的课。

Most people visit national parks expecting to see natural wonders like forests, waterfalls, and animals. What they don’t expect are piles of trash left by tourists who don’t think about how such waste hurts the environment. Now, there’s an app to not only track this waste but also get rid of it.
According to Travel + Leisure, the community group 5 Gyres Institute has developed an app called TrashBlitz that will record trash thrown away in national parks. By noting what kinds of trash are found, the goal is to encourage people to cut down on waste that pollutes the parks.
If you’re walking through Yellowstone and find a place with lots of empty bottles or wrappers, you can use the TrashBlitz app to write down where the trash is and any clean-up work you do. This data can then be used to create plans for policy changes, including possible laws and activities to tell visitors to clean up and use things that can be recycled or used again.
The group’s 2024 clean-up effort had 259 events at 58 sites, like Olympic National Park. The group collected information as well as reports from volunteers. Based on the data, they found the biggest problem is plastic, which makes up about 77% of all reported trash. Food wrappers are the most common type of plastic litter, but soda bottles, wet wipes, and bottle caps are also usual. Paper is the second most found trash, and metals and fabrics make up the rest.
“I found small colorful pieces of plastic in Biscayne National Park,” a volunteer said. “I also saw lots of bags, cups, and takeout boxes broken into tiny pieces along the roads to Everglades National Park. The smaller plastic gets, the more easily it can enter the food chain and the harder it is to remove from nature.”
TrashBlitz isn’t just for parks: It works for local clean-ups in communities too. Recent reports include surveys in Los Angeles, Denver, and Austin. Their work is supported by laws: In 2024, the U. S. Department of the Interior said it would not allow people to use single-use plastics in parks.
12. Why was the app invented?
A. To help reuse trash in national parks. B. To solve trash problems in national parks.
C. To find volunteers to clean national parks. D. To punish those who litter in national parks.
13. What is the data collected by the app used for?
A. Helping make new rules. B. Educating volunteers.
C. Creating plans for volunteers. D. Deciding where to put trash.
14. What does the data from the group’s 2024 clean-up effort show?
A. The challenges of cleaning up trash. B. The increase of all kinds of trash.
C. The effects and reuse of trash. D. The types and percentages of trash.
15. What does the last paragraph say about the app?
A. It has improved its system recently. B. It often surveys user’s experiences.
C. It functions well in many places. D. It is waiting for laws to recognize it.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了为解决国家公园垃圾问题而开发的TrashBlitz应用程序。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, there’s an app to not only track this waste but also get rid of it.(现在,有一款应用程序不仅可以追踪这些垃圾,还能帮助清理它们)”可知,开发这款应用程序的目的是为了解决国家公园的垃圾问题。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This data can then be used to create plans for policy changes, including possible laws and activities to tell visitors to clean up and use things that can be recycled or used again.(这个数据可以用来制定政策变更计划,包括可能的法律和活动,告诉游客清理垃圾并使用可回收或可重复使用的东西)”可知,应用程序收集的数据用于帮助制定新的规则。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Based on the data, they found the biggest problem is plastic, which makes up about 77% of all reported trash. Food wrappers are the most common type of plastic litter, but soda bottles, wet wipes, and bottle caps are also usual. Paper is the second most found trash, and metals and fabrics make up the rest.(根据数据,他们发现最大的问题是塑料垃圾,占所有报告垃圾的约77%。食品包装纸是最常见的塑料垃圾类型,但汽水瓶、湿巾和瓶盖也很常见。纸是第二常见的垃圾,金属和织物占其余部分)”可知,该组织2024年的清理工作数据显示了垃圾的类型和比例。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“TrashBlitz isn’t just for parks: It works for local clean-ups in communities too. Recent reports include surveys in Los Angeles, Denver, and Austin.(TrashBlitz不仅适用于公园,也适用于社区的本地清理工作。最近的报告包括在洛杉矶、丹佛和奥斯汀的调查)”可知,因此,可以推断出这款应用程序在许多地方都运行良好。

56. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a sunny Saturday afternoon when a family of four decided to explore the woods near their home. With their camping equipment, they embarked on a much-anticipated trip in the nearby woods, full of excitement.
Upon arrival, the parents set up the tent while their two children, Max and Emma, wandered around and looked for fun. They were especially thrilled, laughter echoing through the woods. Max, the big brother, proposed to go deeper into the woods and explore more. Emma followed.
As they walked along the narrow path, chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard a strange noise coming from a thick bush. Feeling a little bit scared, Emma came closer to her brother. Then, they noticed another sound. Even with the scare and nervousness, curiosity got the better of them. They carefully approached the source of that sound.
To their big surprise, they found a small, injured fox lying there, making some heartbroken sounds. Taking a closer look, Max found that one of her legs was bleeding, and she looked weak and scared. Emma’ s heart ached at the sight of the poor creature. “We can’t just leave her here. Let’s do something,” she begged, looking determined. Max hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement.
Emma suggested coming back to the camping site and called their parents for help. But they worried the fox could be attacked by other bigger animals. Then Max decided to take the fox back. They knew they had to be extremely careful, not scaring the fox and not causing further injury.
Slowly, Max made his first attempt. He took off his coat and tried to gently place it over the fox. The fox, sensing Max’s approach, struggled to run away but failed due to her bleeding leg. Max did another try. This time, he succeeded. He covered the fox carefully with his coat. The fox still whined(哀鸣) sadly, but didn’t run away. With great care, they lifted the fox and carried her back.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Once they arrived, they quickly called their parents. Their parents rushed over, shocked but impressed by their children’s kindness. The father carefully examined the fox’s wound and said they needed to clean and bandage it immediately. The mother fetched the first-aid kit. They worked together gently. Max and Emma watched nervously, hoping the fox would be okay. After the treatment, they made a small, warm nest for the fox near the tent. Over the next few days, they took turns looking after her, feeding her small pieces of food and fresh water. The fox gradually got used to them and stopped being so scared.
A few days later, the fox’s leg was fully healed. Max and Emma knew it was time to let her go back to her natural habitat. They felt a bit sad but also happy for the fox. They carried her to the place where they had found her. Gently, they put the fox down. The fox looked at them for a moment as if saying thank you, then ran into the woods. Max and Emma watched until she disappeared. They realized that this experience not only taught them to be kind to animals but also gave them a deeper understanding of the importance of co-existing with nature.
