(2026·湖北黄冈模拟)For those of us living in the countryside, a good pair of Wellington boots is more than just footwear — it’s an essential tool for daily life. They must handle heavy winter rains, cross streams without leaking, and walk slowly through thick mud. Even in summer, they’re handy for early⁃morning walks through wet grass. By my back door, five well⁃worn pairs stand ready for action, having served my family faithfully over the years. These rain boots have developed from children’s shiny, colorful pairs to the durable, practical adult versions that see us through every season.
My favorite brand is known for durability and style — perfect for country life. It emphasizes that rain boots are a “must⁃have” for people living in regions with frequent rain. But if you live in the city, do you really need a pair? Let’s be clear: A rubber ankle boot — which doesn’t allow for playing in small pools or jumping through water in winter — isn’t a boot. And I’m not against a pair of colorful boots at the beach or camping but in the countryside, they clearly say, “just visiting”. Similarly, durable country rain boots look out of place in a supermarket after a walk.
Wellington boots became popular in the 1800s thanks to Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. Originally called Hessians, these tall boots with decorative strings were worn by fashionable gentlemen. The Duke adapted them for practicality while keeping them smart for casual events. Since then, they’ve undergone remarkable transformations. For example, in the 1980s, green boots symbolized British upper⁃class style. In the actual greener 1990s, I had Dunlop boots made from recycled rubber, which lasted ages. Today, most are made from non⁃recyclable plastic, but eco⁃conscious options like natural rubber boots lined with organic cotton are gaining popularity.
In the end, you want a pair of boots that you don’t have to struggle to get on or off, and that you can rely on. They become old friends and you miss them when they go. I’ll never be without them.

(2026·浙江模拟)Planetary geoarchaeology (地质考古学), the study of how cultural and natural processes on the Moon, on Mars, and throughout the solar system may be changing, preserving, or erasing the material record of space exploration, has been proposed by two researchers from the Kansas Geological Survey at the University of Kansas and their colleagues as a new scientific subfield.
“Until recently, we might consider the material left behind during the space race of the mid⁃20th century as relatively safe,”said Justin Holcomb, a researcher at the Kansas Geological Survey. “However, the material record that currently exists on the Moon is rapidly becoming at risk of being destroyed if proper attention isn’t paid during the new space era.”
Applying geoarchaeological tools and methods to the movement of people into space and the solar system is a natural extension of the study of human migration on Earth, the focus of the ODYSSEY Archaeological Research Program directed by Holcomb’s co⁃author, Rolfe Mandel.
How planetary geoarchaeologists will determine whether an item is worth preserving is an open question. “We feel that all material currently existing on extraterrestrial (地球外的) surfaces is space heritage and worthy of protection,”Holcomb said. “However, some sites, such as the very first footprints on the Moon, represent the material footprint of a long history of migration.”Beyond those “firsts”, making decisions on a case⁃by⁃case basis will be necessary to sort through the tens of thousands of pieces of debris (残骸) now in orbit or dropped across the surfaces of the Moon and Mars, which many people refer to as “trash” but Holcomb and his colleagues see as heritage.
Holcomb thinks geoarchaeologists ought to be a part of upcoming NASA missions to ensure the security and preservation of space history. As for being part of a space mission himself? “I’ll leave that to other geoarchaeologists,” Holcomb said. “There’s plenty to do down here, but I do hope to see an archaeologist in space before it’s all over.”
5.Why has planetary geoarchaeology been proposed?
A.To protect space heritage.
B.To study the solar system.
C.To resist space exploration.
D.To found a scientific field.
6.What do we know about the material record of space?
A.It threatens the movement of people into space.
B.It is the main focus of the ODYSSEY Program.
C.It shows the whole process of human migration.
D.It is not as safe as expected in the new space era.
7.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The methods of classifying space trash.
B.The first footprints on the Moon and Mars.
C.The question of planetary geoarchaeologists.
D.The discussion on identifying space heritage.
8.What does Holcomb suggest other geoarchaeologists do?
A.Learn from scientists like him.
B.Lead upcoming NASA missions.
C.Participate in space exploration.
D.Ensure the security of astronauts.

Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different from your own.
9 Before I moved to Sicily I had travelled around the whole of Italy, the south and the north, and I absolutely fell in love with the culture and the language, so I was inspired to learn the language and also to move here. And here I am now, living in Sicily.
10 When you get back home, you’ll have lots of stories to tell your friends and family. Even if something isn’t very fun, it will be funny to look back and laugh at those awkward or harsh moments. For example, I was travelling with a group of friends in Pisa and we took the wrong bus to get to the beach area, so we ended up being stuck in the rain and having to walk back.
When you travel, you expose yourself to different people. 11 It’s a great learning experience for both you and the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinions on a range of topics. For example, I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the magic of nature. A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian background and Iranian philosophy. 12
Travelling is the realization of home. 13 Since I’ve been away from London, I’ve come to appreciate the little things that I used to take for granted, like our amazing transport — everything runs on time; everything runs well. So sometimes it takes being away from home to realize how much you absolutely love your hometown.
A.It was a really interesting discussion.
B.Travelling will make you a really good storyteller.
C.Travelling could enrich your awareness of the world.
D.They may have a completely different outlook on life.
E.We realize how much we miss our hometown when we travel.
F.Travelling might just convince (说服) you to move to another country.
G.Being away from home, we miss our friends and our family very much.
