If you're planning a self-drive tour of Scotland,there are many scenic routes that will take
you through breathtaking landscapes,charming towns and beautiful coastlines.
Moray Firth Route
This 80-mile route takes you from Inverness to Loch Fleet,passing around the Beauly,
Cromarty and Dornoch firths in the north-east Highlands.The drive takes about 1 hour 50
minutes.It is a good choice if you want a relatively short trip while still enjoying the scenery of
northern Scotland.
SnowRoads Scenic Route
Running from Blairgowrie to Grantown,this 90-mile route crosses the eastern part of
Cairngorms National Park.It takes drivers along some of Britain's highest public roads,which
often close first when it snows.Visitors should allow about three hours for the drive.
Argyll Coastal Route
For mountain scenery and sparkling loch views,try this 129-mile journey from Tarbet to
Fort William.The route follows Scotland's west coast and can be completed in about 2 hours 55
minutes.It is especially suitable for travellers who enjoy a mixture of mountains,water and
coastal landscapes.
South West Coastal 300
This circular road trip begins and ends in Dumfries and covers 300 miles.Along the way,
travellers can enjoy unspoilt coastline,striking scenery and many places to stop and explore.
Unlike the shorter routes,this trip normally takes three to four days,making it better for visitors
with more time.
The routes above vary in length and driving time,so you can choose one that best suits your

Few women were studying for a PhD in chemistry when Dell Chilton entered graduate
school in 1960.Fewer still were focused on the mysteries of how genetic information is stored in
the beautiful double-helix structure of DNA.
"I always felt like I didn't want to be hired or advanced because I was a woman,"Dr.
Chilton later said."I wanted to be advanced because I was the best.So I made myself the best."
Conducting experiments with a tiny microbe,Dr.Chilton helped start an agricultural
revolution,leading a research team that developed the first genetically modified (plant
in 1982.Her work broke new ground in genetics,leading to honors including the National Medal
of Technology and Innovation,and contributed to the rise of a new era of genetically modified
organisms or GMOs.
"Millions of farmers all over the world have Dr.Chilton to thank for protecting their crops
from disease,pests and climate shocks,"said Tom Vilsack,the CEO of World Food Prize
Organization.In 2013,Dr.Chilton was awarded the World Food Prize,together with two other
scientists with whom she sometimes competed and sometimes cooperated.
A determined yet generous researcher-she and her husband were known for hosting
visiting scientists and young researchers at their home,which was lovingly called the"Chilton
Hilton(希尔顿酒店)”They treated the visitors much like their extended family,with beer and
pizza on Friday evenings,a collective lunch every working day."She always encouraged her
researchers to follow their curiosity,wherever it led them,"said Mike Bevan,who worked with
Chilton for30 years..Chilton was fondly called as the“queen of agrobacterium(农杆菌)”.“She
was a wonderful leader,"said Mike Bevan,"enthusiastic and engaged,hugely supportive,and a
highly knowledgeable and well-connected guide."
Growing up in the Chicago suburbs at a time when girls were seldom encouraged to study
science,Dr.Chilton found her passion in a telescope-making group."My mother showed me by
example that women can do things in this world,"Dr.Chilton said of her mother,a successful
businesswoman who had supported her scientific curiosity from a young age.Dr.Chilton passed
away on June 24,2026,at the age of 87,leaving behind a lasting legacy in agricultural science.
24.What was Dr.Chilton's major scientific contribution?
A.She discovered the structure of DNA.
B.She created the first genetically modified plant.
C.She found a cure for plant diseases worldwide.
D.She founded the World Food Prize Organization.
25.What does the nickname"Chilton Hilton"suggest about Dr.Chilton?
A.She preferred working at home.
B.She once worked in the hotel industry
C.She was very welcoming to the visitors
D.She was known for being strict with researchers.
26.What can we learn about Dr.Chilton's early life?
A.Her mother backed her interest in science.
B.She was the only girl in her scicnce classes.
C.She was born into a family of famous scientists.
D.She showed no interest in science until college.
27.Which best describes Chilton's attitude to being a woman in science?
A.She felt it was an unfair disadvantage.
B.She avoided talking about the topic publicly.
C.She believed women were naturally better scientists
D.She focused on being the best rather than complaining.

Eric Stallard,a brain researcher,began looking into the rate of dementia (among
elderly Americans.He was so shocked by his findings that he put off publishing his first paper
for two and a half years while he double-checked his work."wanted to be absolutely certain,"
he recalls,since the numbers went against all expectations.Instead of confirming the
widely-held belief that dementia was becoming an increasingly serious problem in America,they
showed that the proportion old people suffering from it was in fact decreasing rapidly.
"I was shocked by the declines,"he says.Stallard has been working for a decade to confirm
this discovery.His findings have,if anything,become even more striking.
Last year he and some colleagues published research showing that,while 40 years ago three
in ten Americans aged 85-89 had dementia,by 2024 just onc in ten had it.America is not the
only one to benefit from this trend.Between 1988 and 2015 the share of older people being
diagnosed with dementia fell by 13%per decade across six countries in North America and
Europe,according to a study of almost 50,000 people.
But the good news is largely limited to rich countries,at least for now.The single biggest
risk factor for dementia is age.The rate doubles roughly every five years after 70.In America in
2016,just 4%of people aged 70-74 had dementia,but the rate jumped to%for those who were
75-79 and again to 18%for 80-to 84-year-olds.
This pattern,combined with long life expectancy,has led to alarming predictions.A study
predicts that the global population of people with dementia will almost triple from around 57
million in 2019 to 153 million in 2050.But if dementia rates continue to fall,these predictions
may be too pessimistic.Researchers have identified 14 changeable risk factors,including
education,hearing loss,high blood pressure,and social isolation.They estimate that about 45%
of dementia cases could be delayed or prevented by addressing these factors.
28.Why did Stallard delay publishing his findings?
A.He lacked sufficient data.
B.He wanted to confirm the results.
C.He was waiting for peer review.
D.He doubted the widely held belief.
29.What was Stallard's most surprising finding?
A.Dementia rates were falling.
B.Dementia becomes more serious.
C.America had the highest dementia rate.
D.More women were affected than men.
30.What can be inferred about dementia from the last two paragraphs?
A.It cannot be prevented.
B.Age is not a significant risk factor.
C.It is more common among older people.
D.It mainly affects those who are under 70.
31.What is the main message of the passage?
A.Dementia is an unavoidable result of aging.
B.Dementia rates will continue to rise globally.
C.Rich countries have solved the dementia problem.
D.The dementia situation is less alarming than expected.

People working with artificial intelligence (Al)tend to outperform those without it on
tasks well-suited for Al,such as writing text,organizing research and generating ideas.In
controlled experiments,researchers have seen great improvements-at least in the short term.
In a 2026 study,Ethan Mollick at the Wharton School and his colleagues reported what
happened when they gave AI assistance to hundreds of consultants at Boston Consulting Group
(BCG).Those using AI completed 12%more tasks and finished them 25%faster on average.For
tasks within AI's abilities,the work quality was judged to be much higher.
However,other research paints a more worrying picture.A team led by Grace Liu of
Camnegie Mellon University tested how AI affected people's thinking ability to solve math
problems.When people who had used AI later lost access to the tool,they performed worse than
those who had never used AI at all.The effect appeared after just 10 minutes of AI assistance-
people became less capable of solving problems on their own.
Another team led by Steven Shaw from Wharton explored this further by controlling the
accuracy of AI answers given to participants.In their 2026 study involving more than 1,300
people,they observed something they called "cognitive surrender"-a state in which users
simply agree with the AI's judgment as their own without thinking critically.When the AI was
correct,accuracy jumped 25%above the usual level.But when the AI was wrong,accuracy
dropped 15%below.Either way,people felt more confident in their answers.
A2024 review of 106 AI experiments in the journal Nature Human Behavior revealed a key
finding:when humans are better than AI at a task,the human-AI team performs better than either
working alone.But when AI is better,the team actually performs worse than the AI by itself,
probably because people cannot tell when to trust the machine and when to trust themselves.
Evidence is also building that AI harms learning when it removes mental effort.A large
study of 27,000 Chinese students found that test scores dropped when students used AI to speed
through their homework.But students who asked AI for explanations and follow-up questions,
rather than just for answers,largely kept their learning.As one researcher wisely put it:"The
goal shouldn't be to use AI to avoid thinking.It should be to use AI to deepen thinking."
32.What's the result of the Boston Consulting Group study
A.AI replaced most consultants'jobs.
B.AI improved consultants'work efficiency.
C.Only simple tasks could benefit from AI.
D.There was no difference between the two groups.
33.
What does"cognitive surrender"in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Users refusing to use AI in their work.
B.Users becoming smarter through AI use.
C.Users carefully checking AI-generated answers.
D.Users accepting AI's views without questioning.
34.What does the 2024 review of 106 AI experiments find?
A.People trust the machine more than themselves
B.The human-AI team is more effective than AI alone.
C.AI always performs better than humans working alone.
D.The human-AI team works best if humans are smarter.
35.What does the study of Chinese students suggest about using AI for learning?
A.Students should not be allowed to use AI.
B.Using AI for homework damages learning.
C.How Al is used matters more than whether it is used.
D.AI explanations are less helpful than direct answers.

If you ask people how today's children are doing,you will likely get an earful of
complaints and concerns.Many believe that children today are less resilient,less empathetic,
and less mentally healthy than previous generations.Headlines frequently warn of a youth crisis,
and many parents quietly worry about the future.36
Studies suggest that young people today are,in many ways,doing better than those of
previous generations.Their basic literacy (and curiosity have improved.They are more
empathetic,more open-minded and inclusive than those 50 years ago.37 Konrath and
her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73%had volunteered or donated
to charities.
38 Many factors are probably at play,but experts believe that changes in parenting
and educational styles could be an important driver.One significant change in parenting is a
greater focus on emotional literacy."Over the past 15 years of clinical work,many young
children have come in with a richer emotional vocabulary than those I saw earlier in my career,"
says Tracy,a clinical psychologist.Meanwhile,more schools have introduced social and
emotional learning programs that encourage empathy and self-control.
What about the role of social media?It is often blamed for damaging young people.Even
experts support banning smartphones in schools.39 Some studies,however,find that
technology may be helping kids connect with others,find support,and learn about world issues.
"It can make them more thoughtful,conscious citizens,"Konrath says.
So why does the negative view of young people remain so common?One reason is that our
minds are built to notice threats.Our ancestors who noticed danger were more likely to survive,
which may explain why negative information attracts more attention than positive news.
Cognitive()biases also make people remember the past as better than it actually was.
40 Today's young people are,on the whole,doing quite well.
A.The big question is why.
B.They are more willing to offer help,too.
C.Yet the recent research tells a different story.
D.There is no doubt that social media poses risks.
E.Older generations were clearly happier and healthier.
F.They fear their children may struggle to find decent jobs.
G.Whatever the reason,the negative view rarely matches reality.

The wrapper of a Chinese milk candy from 60 years ago has become unexpectedly popular.
White Rabbit,56(launch)in 1959,has long been a houschold name in China.It was
born in an era of material shortage,when swects were a rare luxury.Although the times have

(feature)a seated white rabbit against a red background,won a national packaging award in
1983 and now draws millions of views overseas.On platform X,a post 59(receive)
about 6 million views and 260,000 likes since.
Shi Anbin,60 professor from Tsinghua University,linked the trend 61what
he described as a broader movement,in which young people overseas have embraced traditional
Chinese practices.He argued that original Chinese designs can bridge both generational and
cultural divides.
Zhang Di,from Renmin University of China,62(strike)a more practical note.He
attributed the wrapper's appeal to its visual language-bold colors and simple composition-
63 requires no specific cultural knowledge for interpretation.He added that short-term
online buzz does not guarantee lasting market recognition.Product 64(fundamental)-
taste,quality,convenience and adaptability-are what ultimately keep customers.He advised

Jared Miller had spent most of his seventeen years avoiding any activities that made him
sweat.While his classmates signed up for basketball and cycling,he stayed indoors with his
books.At every school sports meeting,he found an excuse-a stomachache,a library duty,a
forgotten uniform.Nobody made fun of him;they simply forgot he existed on the field.
Everything changed when Mr.Foster took over the PE class this term.The new teacher
announced that every student would run 1,500 metres at the end of the term,and the result would
count toward the final grade.Jared's heart sank.That evening,he complained to his grandfather,
expecting sympathy.However,the old man put down his newspaper and smiled.
"When I was a bus conductor,"Grandpa said,"I climbed the stairs of a double-decker
层公共汽车)bus two hundred times a day.I never trained for it.My legs grew strong,.one stair
at a time."
“A bus is not a running track,”Jared argued.
"The stairs to our flat aren't a track either,"Grandpa replied."Or the road to school.You
pass a hundred 'tracks'every day and never run on any of them."
So Jared started small,almost as a joke.Instead of taking the lift,he raced up the stairs to
the sixth floor at school.When the bus came near his stop,he got off two blocks early and
jogged home.Between classes,he took the long way to the lab,quickening his pace until his
breathing grew heavy.None of it felt like training.Yet slowly,wonderfully,the stairs stopped
burning his legs,and the two-block jog changed into five.
One evening in the third week,his grandfather timed him with an old stopwatch (as
he climbed."Forty seconds faster than the day you started,"Grandpa announced,as proudly as if
he were reporting a world record.Jared laughed,but that night he drew a simple chart on paper
and pinned it above his desk,adding a fresh mark each day.
Still,a doubt was in his mind:the other boys had trained for years.Could climbing stairs
really work?
