Chichen Itza-Mexico
Chichen Itza is a top tourist destination in Mexico, known for its impressive monumental structures constructed between AD 750 and 1200. Among these are the Castillo pyramid and the Temple of a Thousand Warriors.
Getting there & doing it
Chichen Itza is situated 80 miles from Tulum along the route to Merida. While hotels and tour companies offer organized trips, renting a car for a self-guided visit is often preferable. Gaining some knowledge about the pre-Columbian Maya can enhance your experience at these sites. Consider reading Michael Coe’s The Maya and / or Joyce Kelly’s An Archaeological Guide to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula before your visit.
You can comfortably explore the site in about 2 hours. Afterward, for a meal, travel 40 km east to Cancun to enjoy authentic Mayan organic cuisine.
While you’re there
Take some time to drive to Merida, known as the “White City”, which features charming old-world architecture, stunning churches, and vibrant markets. Additionally, make sure to visit Cenote Ik-Kil for a unique swimming experience.
When to do it
The site is open every day of the year, from 8 am to 5 pm. The rainy season, from May to October, is the least busy time for the Mayan Riviera. However, during the dry season, from November to April, it gets quite crowded. If possible, try to avoid the peak season from December to January, when it becomes especially crowded around Christmas and New Year.
21. What should you do before visiting Chichen Itza?
A. Take a guided tour. B. Hire a local guide.
C. Watch a documentary about Mexico. D. Read specific books about the Maya civilization.
22. What activities are recommended to do after visiting Chichen Itza?
A. Attending a cultural show in Tulum. B. Driving 40 km east for Mayan foods.
C. Paying a visit to the Castillo pyramid. D. Exploring the Temple of a Thousand Warriors.
23. What is the ideal time to visit Chichen Itza to avoid large crowds?
A. All year around. B. May to October.
C. November to April D. December to January.
B
I was sitting in a chemistry lab class during my first year of university, nervous about the experiment we were to perform. I grabbed a pipette and, as I feared, my hand started to shake. The experience was disheartening. I was hoping to pursue a career in science, but I started to wonder whether that would be possible. I thought my dreams had crashed to the ground.
I was a boy born with brain damage. My family managed to find good doctors where we lived, in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia, and I took part in clinical trials testing new treatments. Shortly after my first birthday, I started walking and it became clear that my intelligence function was unaffected. So, in some sense, I was lucky. Still, I couldn’t do some things growing up. Both hands shook, especially when I was nervous or embarrassed. My left hand was much worse than my right, so I learned to write and do simple tasks with my right hand, but it wasn’t easy to do anything precisely.
As a teenager, I faced a lot of bullying at school. Feeling alone, I joined a study group called “The natural world”. I thought that getting into the world of animals would keep me away from people. That’s how I came into the field of biology. At university, I enjoyed the lectures in my science classes. Many lab tasks proved impossible, however. As I struggled with my mood, I read a book about depression. From then on, the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion. I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments on rats to study depression.
At the end of my second year, I approached the professor of the lab to see whether I could work with her. I was afraid to admit I couldn’t do some lab tasks. To my relief, she was completely supportive. She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues. I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master’s and Ph.D.
I’ve come to realize that my hands aren’t the barrier I thought they were. By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team, I’ve been able to follow my passions. I’ve also realized that there’s much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor. I may not collect all the data in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science.
24. What was the author’s dream?
A. To live a normal life. B. To become a scientist.
C. To get a master’s degree. D. To recover from depression.
25. Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 2?
A. Because he didn’t lose the function of both hands.
B. Because he learned how to walk at the age of one.
C. Because his family could afford to see good doctors.
D. Because his brain damage didn’t affect his intelligence.
26. What can you learn from the passage?
A. The team in the lab urged him to further his study.
B. The author finally finished the lab tasks on his own.
C. The author’s experience inspired him to help others.
D. The author’s loneliness led him to the world of biology.
27. What message does the author want to express?
A. Loving yourself makes a difference. B. Opportunity follows prepared people.
C. A bright future begins with a small dream. D. The sun somehow shines through the storm.
C
Getting outside for a breath of fresh air feels like a reset for a lot of people. For others, it does the opposite. Nature triggers stress, discomfort, or a strong urge to get back indoors. Researchers have a name for that reaction: biophobia. A new review of nearly 200 studies, pulling together decades of research across psychology, ecology, and medicine, suggests it may be becoming more common.
Animal phobias (动物恐惧症) affect only an estimated 4 to 5 percent of people worldwide. For those individuals, encounters with wildlife can trigger anxiety, nausea, and stress that push them away from natural spaces. But the authors say the issue reaches further. Many people without phobias still feel uneasy around insects, reptiles, or unfamiliar animals, even when there’s no real danger. That discomfort keeps them out of parks and trails, spaces long linked to better physical and mental health.
What underlies such discomfort? Individual psychology matters, particularly sensitivity to anxiety. Biology plays a role, too. since age and genetics influence stress responses. Social factors appear especially powerful. Media coverage leans hard on rare animal attacks, and social media doesn’t help. After enough repetition, nature starts to feel dangerous rather than familiar. Where you live and how your family talks about nature shape how nature feels. If wildlife conflict news shows up regularly, fear can settle in long before personal experience does.
However, one issue is how narrowly biophobia has been studied. Nearly all existing research focuses on fear of animals rather than aversion to nature as a whole. Spiders and mammals dominate the data, while harmless species receive little attention. That gap leaves researchers with limited insight into why discomfort toward nature appears to be expanding.
The consequences are profound. People who avoid nature feel less connected to it, which further reduces outdoor exposure and leaves even fewer motivated to protect it. Over generations, that reinforcing cycle can thin people’s relationship with the natural world, posing greater challenges for conservation efforts that depend on public support.
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. People with animal phobias tend to stay indoors all the time.
B. Dangerous animals cause people to be affected by biophobia.
C. Only a small percentage of people suffer from animal phobias.
D. People have biophobia because they experience animal phobias.
29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The essence of biophobia. B. The sources of biophobia.
C. The definition of biophobia. D. The symptom of biophobia.
30. What does the underlined word “aversion” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Strong dislike. B. Deep attraction. C. Total closeness. D. Special preference.
31. Which of the following may NOT be one of the consequences of biophobia?
A. The reduced motivation for natural protection. B. The weakened bond between humans and nature.
C. Greater challenges to environmental conservation. D. The reinforcing cycle of less outdoor exposure.
D
Midway through The Matrix, Cypher feasts on an enormous steak, well aware that his reality is not real, part of a digital program telling his brain that the steak is a construction and that it is “juicy and delicious”. Two decades after the movie made its first appearance, something unexpected arises: The future of reality will not only be virtual but also synthetic (合成的). Cypher’s future meal will be a physical one, synthesized from animal cells.
And the synthesis goes beyond dinner. Starting with components from the natural world, scientists are learning to engineer microorganisms and build biocomputing systems. However, biology has a tendency to evolve in unexpected ways.
Synthesized meat is one case in point. The driving forces behind the meat movement are practical. It has been estimated that cultured (培育的) meat would require 7 to 45 percent less energy and produce 78 to 96 percent less greenhouse gas than conventional animals farmed for consumption. But once we’re able to synthesize meat, theoretically, we’ll have the capability to culture meat from any animal, even those we’d never consider eating today, like dolphins or chimpanzees, which will pose a new regulatory challenge for us.
Using synthetic biology, we can even edit and rewrite life, the technology of which is already in use. In 2021, scientists in some countries announced they had grown monkey embryos injected with human stem cells. Here comes the situation worth considering, such a monkey-human hybrid will demonstrate qualities that are somewhere between humans, on which experimentation isn’t allowed, and animals, which are often raised specifically for research. How will we decide when an animal becomes too human?
Depending on where you stand, the synthetic realities land somewhere between “really exciting” and “critically concerning”. As individuals, we undertake a shared responsibility to make good choices about this coming synthetic technology.
32. What do we know about Cypher’s steak in the movie?
A. It is anything but appetizing. B. It is enjoyed in a virtual world.
C. It is synthesized from animal cells. D. It is a construction made by himself.
33. What’s the advantage of synthesized meat?
A. It is more nutritious. B. It is more energy-consuming.
C. It is more environment-friendly. D. It is more controllable in regulation.
34. What can we know about the monkey in Paragraph 4?
A. The monkey has been developed worldwide. B. The monkey looks like a human being.
C. The monkey-human hybrid is very popular. D. The monkey has been put into human stem cells.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To promote synthetic technology.
B. To indicate challenges of synthetic technology.
C. To stress the importance of synthetic technology.
D. To introduce the development of synthetic technology.

When I was a child, my mother battled with me over learning the art of conversation and how to chat to grown ups. As a shy person, making small talk can feel unnecessary and forced. 36 First impressions really do count. People make judgments based on your appearance and how you present yourself in the first few seconds of meeting. Simply smiling at a person can tell them that you’re trustworthy and easy-going. Even if you’re stressed about work or your boiler has exploded, your body language matters.
37 Smile, and dress appropriately. Smile is like a warm welcome mat for your face — signaling approachability and friendliness — making all the difference in how people treat you. 38 Think about what you’re going to wear so you’re not stressed over choosing an outfit on that day. Select clothes that make you feel empowered and confident. Remember, confidence starts with feeling good in your own skin, and the right outfit can be helpful in that journey.
Mirror the other person’s body language. If you’re struggling to connect with a person and have different views, mirroring their behavior can help you 39 Whether you like what they’re saying or not, it doesn’t matter that much.
Be swan-like. Think of yourself as a swan on a pond. You can sail calmly, but secretly be working hard, kicking your legs at full speed beneath the water. 40 You can shake out your tension later with a dance or a bath.
A. Then, how to create the right impression?
B. If you’re going to a social event, preparation is key.
C. Body language makes a difference in any social contexts.
D. It’s like becoming an automatic printer of their behaviors.
E. It’s an effective way to bond and make them feel understood.
F. Despite my resistance, I can see mum gave me a useful life skill.
G. Keep your stress in check, hold your head high and move proudly.

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。
“Wake up, Mom!” I felt a little hand on my face and reluctantly opened my eyes. There was my son, ready to start the day. I also heard my babies awake in the next room. Ready or not, the day had begun!
I loved being home with my little ones, but I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. My husband and I had just bought a house, and some unexpected expenses made our budget tighter than it had ever been. I was weary of spending more pennies. We weren’t foolish with our money. We worked hard. We were doing all the right things, but we had had one financial disappointment after another.
I was going to pick up my kids’ photo portraits from the studio at the local mall. Despite our small budget, it was important to me to have pictures of my children as they were growing up. The previous week, I had found a coupon (优惠券) and used some change from the car to buy a $ 7.99 portrait package, and today was the day I was to pick up the portraits. Since we were going to the mall, I decided to make it an outing and packed some sandwiches for us to eat at the food court. What’s more, there are many ride-on toy cars in the mall’s food court for fun and for free.
After breakfast, we went off. After we parked, we walked into the portrait studio at the mall, and I approached the counter. The young woman smiled.
“May I help you?”
“Yes, I’m here to pick up our photos.”
The woman asked my name and opened her drawer. “Ah, yes, here they are. Aren’t they just so adorable?” She took out the photos, and the smiling faces of my kids warmed my heart.
“Yes, they are great. Thank you,” I said.
She put the photos into an envelope. Then she spread out additional photos of my kids that I hadn’t ordered. I knew what that meant. The upsell pitch (推销) was coming.
“Would you like to purchase these extra portraits? They are only fifteen dollars apiece!” she smiled sweetly.

1.续写词数应为150左右;
