ABOUT THE DESTINATION
Situated in the heart of the Balkans,Mostar is one of Southeast Europe's most historically
layered cites.It grew around a single Ottoman bridge-the legendary Stari Most,or "Old
英语·第3贞(共12员)
口圆口口圆题超口口
Bridge."Originally built in the 16th century by a pupil of the great architect Sinan,the bridge
gracefully arches over the Neretva River.For four centures it has defined the place.Destroyed
during the Bosnian War in 1993,it was reconstructed and rcopened in 2004,and the old
bridge area is now a UNESCO World Ileritage Site.
Travelers come for that bridge,Stari Most,but they stay for the texture of the city:the
call to prayer and church bells crossing the same air,coppersmiths (hammering in
lanes unchanged since the 16th century,and the divers who still leap from the bridge into the
Neretva River.No other town in Bosnia and Herzegovina integrates Ottoman heritage,wartime
memory and Herzegovinian landscape into so walkable a space.
Getting There
Intercity buses link Mostar with Sarajevo.Dubrovnik and Split,and the Sarajevo-Ploce
train call、at Mostar station on the west bank.The old town itself is compact(袖珍的)and
best explored on fool;taxis are useful for reaching the station or outlying hotels.and local
buses serve the wider city.
What to Wear Bring
Shoes with grip are essential-the old town's cobblestones and the surface of Stari Most are
worn smooth and become very slippery when wet.Carry some cash,since small bazaar cafes and
workshop stalls often prefer cash.
Best Time to Visit
Mostar expeuences hot summers and mild winters.The best times to visit are spring and
autumn,when temperatures are pleasant and crowds are manageable.
21.What do we know about Star Most?
A.It was built in 1993.
B.It is a World Heritage Site.
C.It was designed by Sinan.
D.It lies in southeast Mostar.
22.What draws travelers to stay in Mostar after their visit to Stari Most?
A.Its living heritage.
B.Its beautiful landscape.
C.Its historic arc hiteeture.
D.Its friendly atmosphere.
23.What may make walking through the old town difficult?
A.The narrow streets.
B.The slippery stone paths.
C.The changeable weather.
D.The crowded workshops.

Aged 17,Jessica Huie found herself with "no sense of purpose"after dropping out of
school.Her parents were "devastated",her friends were going off to university,"and
everybody had deeuded that my life was over at this point".
英语·第4页(共12页)
Today,aged34,as she receives an MBE for entrepreneurship(企业家w精t神),
London-born Huie,founder of multicultural greetig card company ColourBlind Cards,said the
recognition was significant not for where she is today,"but probably the distance that I have
travelled".Praised for her work mentoring young entrepreneurs,Huie,like the majority of
honours recipients,is one of the many extraordinary ordinary,those who are not household
names,but whose quiet achievements have made a difference.They include school caretakers,
charity fundraisers,foster carers and hospital volunteers,to name just a few,from the Scilly
Isles to the Outer Hebrides.
Huie's“epiphany(顿悟)moment”came when her daughter,Monet,was seven and
led her to give up a career in public relations to start ColourBlind Cards."She didn't like her
hair.She wanted straight hair.She has this beautiful afro(蓬松的)hair and I went looking
for a card which would depict a black or brown-skinned princess,to send a message to her that
'you are perfect just as you are'.And there was a complete absence of anything in the high
street which represented anyone of color."
Today,her cards sell in Asda and Clinton Card,and she has expanded into South Africa
and just launched in the US."The cards aren't about race in any way;they just have images of
people of various colors,particularly the black and mixed-race community,"she said.In the
process,she has discovered "my purpose on this planet is to share the fact that with resilience,
determination and hard work,anything is possible".
24.What can we learn about Jessica Huie at 17?
A.She won wide support from her family.
B.She gave up college due to poor health.
C.She dreamed of running a card business.
D.She was trapped in a tough life situation.
25.Why does lluie value her MBE honor?
A.It witnesses her growth.
B.It proves her leadership.
C.It helps her attract partners.
D.It makes her a public figure.
26.What direetly inspired Huie to set up ColouiBlind Cards?
A.The market demand for colorful cards.
B.Her leaving a public relations company.
C.The lack of proper greeting-card products.
D.Her desire to battle against racial prejudice.

At around midnight,after a day shaped by other people's deadlines.someone sits in bed
choosing between two colors of the same lamp.The decision feels unusually absorbing.For ten
minutes,no manager,partner,parent,or calendar can disturb it.The final click produces a
small,clean sense of command.The lamp is not really the point.What has been purchased,
for a moment,is authorship.A life filled with obligation has offered one complete sequence-
desire,choice,action.reward-in which the buyer's preference appears to be final.
This explains why material desire rises when personal freedom is limited.Consumption is
not always greed or weak discipline.It acts as compensation for a self with little room to direct
time,refuse demands,change course,or make independent choices.Modern constraint
(rarely appears as a locked door.It exists in work-filled schedules,demanding
relationships,and a respectable life built on unchosen standards.Many people stay functional
and successful,yet live by external instructions,with few moments of self-authored life.
Shopping offers a fast exit from this powerlessness and brings instant satisfaction,a contrast
to life's delayed and uncertain reward-.Yet daily life remains unchanged after each purchase.
The demanding job remains demanding and Sunday evening still carres its familiar weight.
When novelty fades.the unfulfilled emotional need remains,triggering a vicious (
cycle.Consumption,therefore,slowly turns into another form of constraint.However,genuine
material pleasure enriches life,and true preference stands the test of time.Instead of blaming
oneself for indiscipline,people should reflect on what choices they lacked that day.Small
aulonomous acts and delayed consumption help people reconneet with their real needs and
rebuild freedom gradually.
Structural hardships cannot be solved by shopping,yet recognizing this cycle avoids
unnecessary self-blame.That night,the lamp stays in the cart.The person sets a clear work
boundary,reclaiming a precrous unscheduled hour.Nothing new has arrived,yet something
has been returned.
英语·第6页(共12页)
28.What does the example of choosing a lamp mainly illustrate?
A.The emouonal appeal of material posse-sions.
B.The complexity of everyday decision-making.
C.The psychological motive behind consumption.
D.The importance of showing personal preferences.
29.Which of the following can be a modern constraint?
A.Feeling satisfied after a flash purchase.
B.Living according to standards set by others.
C.Being kept inside a room with a locked door.
D.Lacking money to buy desired household goods.
30.According to paragraph 3,what do we gain from shopping?
A.Lasting satisfaction.
B.Ultimate relief.
C.Temporary comfort.
D.Gradual fulfillment.
31.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Consumption:A Cure for Powerlessness
B.Shopping:A Search for Personal Control
C.Material Satisfaction:A Ticket to Freedom
D.Purc hases:An Exploration of Personal Preference
D
Have you ever found your mind wandering halfway through a task,the words blurring on
the page as you think about what you're going to have for dinner?This mental exhaustion isn't a
character flaw.Instead,it's a universal human experience that reveals something essential about
how people's minds function.
In a recent study of more than 1,600 children,behavioral scientists found that the ability
to sustain mental effort over time,or“cognitive(认知t的)enduran(e”.functions much like
physical stamina.Almost universally.the longer people spend on a task.the worse they
perform on it.But just as athletes can train to run longer distances,kids are able to strengthen
their capacity for sustained thinking through simple but dedicated practice.
Scientists noticed a pattern in global test data:students'performanee dropped on later exam
questions,even when question difficulty was considered.This drop was far sharper among
disadvantaged students.Wealthier students got more chances for independent focused pracuce,
while disadvantaged peers spent more time on passive learning like lectures and copying,
limiting opportunities to build cognitive endurance.
Another experiment with Indian elementary students further proved this point.Three groups
of students,two "treatment"groups and one control group took part.Treatment groups
英语·第7页(共12贞)
口■■口口■■图■口口
received 20-minute daily continuous cognitive practice,either academic math tasks or
non-academic challenging puzzles.The control group kept their low-effort routine.Both
trealment groups maintained test performance far better than the control group.Whether using
school subjects or puzzles,the outcome suggests that the act of concentrating mattered more than
what the students were coneentrating on.
We still need to do more research to identify the most effective training methods.But as
long as they are sustained and deliberate mental effort.those methods could benefit anyone who
may be exposed to fewer periods of sustained focus as the world shifts toward greater engagement
with endless scrolls of bite-size social media.The message is hopeful:your capacity for
cognitive endurance isn't fixed.Like physical fitness,it can be built up through practice.
32.What does the word "stamina"in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.The habit of working on one's own.
B.The desire to achieve suceess at once.
C.The ability to maintain effort over time.
D.The skill to solve problems in the long run.
33.What did the study of global test data indicate?
A.Students'performance remained unchanged.
B.Disadvantaged students enjoyed challenging tasks.
C.Academic knowledge strengthened during long exams.
D.Sustained thinking affected students'test performance.
34.What does the experiment with Indian students suggest?
A.Cognitive practice should be diverse.
B.Academic tasks beat non-academie ones.
C.Concentration malters more than task type.
D.Tasks should be designed to be challenging.
35.What is the author's attitude toward developing cognitive endurance?
A.Optimistic.
B.Concerned.
C.Doubtful.
D.Reserved.

How to Start a egetable Garden for Beginners
Are you tired of not being able to enjoy the vegetables you love?Try growing your own food.
It's a great way to ave money,eat healthier.and live a greener lifestyle.This guide will help
you start a vege table garden from scrateh.
英语·第8页(共12页)
How to Choose the Right Location for Your Vegetable Garden?
36 Vegetable sceds need warm soil to grow and full sun to ripen.So you must pick an
area with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily in the summer.
You should choose an area with level ground,although a gentle slope would be okay.
37 Also,avoid planting in sites at the bottom of a slope,where cold air can collect and
create frost pockets.Access to water is also something to consider,as watering your vegetables
on a hot day can be hard work.
What Size Should Your Vegetable Garden Be?
The size of your vegetable plot depends on how much you want to grow.38 This is
especially true if you've just got started.
Gardening is hard work.Creating a vegetable patch requires a lot of manual labor.This is
especially true if you need to remove the grass and make the soil suitable for planting.39
While it might be tempting(吸引人的)to try and grow as many plants as you want,gardening
can be a lot of trial-and-error.Your first garden should teach you a lot.40 You will see
which types do well in your garden and local climate.You can refine the process and garden
each year,adding more vegetables if you want more variety.
A.However,I recommend starting small.
B.Avoid very low areas that stay wet in the spring.
C.Focusing on fewer types of vegetables is more manageable.
D.You should choose a location based on the types of vegetables.
E.It is also easier to control pests and diseases in a smaller garden.
F.Another good reason is that you can limit the number of vegetables you grow.
G.Most vegetables need an open,sunny spot with some protection from the wind.

For years,Mrs.Carter had lived a quiet life,with only her cat,Cathy,to keep her
company.Each morning,she would tend to the sunflowers lining her garden lence-
murmuring to them as though they were dearest old friends.She knew every bloom by heart:
英语·第1页(共12页)
口圆■口口■■■■口口
which one liked the shade and which one leaned eagerly toward the road.Cathy would follow her
faithfully,tail high,wandering from flower to flower.
Then misfortune struck.One morning,Mrs.Carter slipped and broke her hip ()an
injury that would take months to heal.Overnight,the sunflowers she had nurtured for so long
were suddenly out of her reach.
One afternoon,as I stood gazing at those sunflowers,my mind drifted to Mrs.Carter's
peaceful morning routine.Driven by a gentle urge to ease her loneliness,I paid her a visit.We
sat by the window,chatting about trivial things.Curious about the deep affection she held for
her sunflowers,I asked what made them so dear to her heart.Then a romantic tale unfolded-
on a sunlit afternoon 30 years ago,her late husband proposed to her with a bunch of sunflowers.
Deeply touched,I decided that if Mrs.Carter could no longer walk out to her sunflowers,I
would bring the sunflowers to her一on canvas(画布).
The next day,I returned with art supplies-brushes,paints,and two small canvases.
Mrs.Carter sighed."Oh,dear child,I haven't picked up a paintbrush ince I was a little girl.
I shall only make a mess.""Then let's make a beautiful mess together,"I said.Our first
lesson was simple:a circle,petals.a stem,a leaf.Her first sunflower looked like a startled
lion.We laughed so hard that Cathy jumped onto the table and left a green paw print among the
leaves."A signature,"I said.For a moment,the room smelled of paint and lemon tea,and
she was not a patient anymore.She was an artist.
