D.S282 B Growing up in Calgary,our boys have only seen buildings from the early 1900s.We wanted to show them ancient castles,monuments,and grand palaces,so we took a family trip to Edinburgh. Scotland holds a personal connection for us,as my kids have Scottish heritage.We hoped this trip would connect them to their ancestors'culture. Our airport taxi driver pointed out landmarks and shared historical facts.Through his thick Scottish accent,he suggested visiting the National Records of Scotland office to explore our family history. Despite their jet lag(时差反应)，my kids perked up at this suggestion..They barely knew the names of their relatives but were eager to dig into their past. On our way into the city,we saw Edinburgh Castle on the rocky cliff of Castle Rock.The streets were lined with ancient buildings and narrow passageways,with Arthur's Seat towering in the background. After dropping off our bags at the hotel,we wandered through the lively streets.The Royal Mile,a road between Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse,was busy with activity.My kids were more interested in the souvenir shops lining the street We visited a few shops,sceing typical Scottish items:boxed shortbread,Loch Ness monster toys and woolen sweaters.One store caught my kids'attention with a large display of scarves arranged by family.My boys quickly found the patterns of their ancestors,Cunningham and MacPherson.They were fascinated by the colorful patters and felt a connection to their heritage. My boys are a mix of several cultures.Their connection to these cultures has faded,but in that shop,I saw a change.They realized these scarves represented their family history.It was a simple yet decp link to their past. We didn't expect such a profound cultural connection in a souvenir shop.Surprisingly,even the kids knew the magic lay in the discovery itself,so we didn't buy any items.Instead,we valued the feeling of their initial discovery. 24.What was the main aim of the family trip to Edinburgh? A.To honor their ancestors. B.To explore ancient castles. C.To strengthen their cultural bonds. D.To experience local traditions. 25.What does the underlined phrase "perked up at"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Became excited about. B.Felt doubtful about. C.Showed great surprise at. D.Lost interest quickly in. 26.What impressed the boys most during their visit? A.The lively atmosphere at the Royal Mile.B.The scarves with family patters. C.The diversity of Scottish souvenirs.D.The historical meaning of the landmarks. 27.Why did the family decide not to purchase the items? A.Their budget was not enough. B.They found the items insignificant. C.They chose less flashy souvenirs instead. D.They valued the emotional connection more. C For years,travel agents were supposed to be dying.The internet was going to make them ielevant. Online travel agencies would replace them.Then artificial intelligence(Al would finish the job.None of them happened.In 2026,travel agents-increasingly called travel advisers-are not just surviving. They are growing. Total earnings for the travel adviser industry are projected to hit $134.4 billion this year,up 17 percent from S115 billion in 2023,according to the American Society of Travel Advisors.That is not the trajectory()of a dying profession.It is the trajectory of a sector that has successfully reinvented itself. The explanation for travel agents'resilience()is not emotional.It is structural.The same digital revolution that was supposed to make agents unnecessary has also made travel more complex. Travelers are not only hitting the road more-they are looking to get away from the usual tourist spots.For travelers of nearly every kind,that means turning to agents who can dig up hidden spots while getting free upgrades,arranging local guides and ensuring smooth transfers.The information explosion of the internet has also made professional planning more valuable.When a traveler can access ten thousand reviews of a single hotel,the ability to cut through that noise and make a confident recommendation based on firsthand knowledge becomes a competitive advantage. The 21st century travel agent is a helper,adviser and close friend,using a variety of tools from social media to online messaging services to communicate with clients.AI tools are being adopted by agents to improve their efficicncy,deepen their research capabilities and scale their personalisation-but the judgment,accountability and human relationship at the ccntre of the adviser-client relationship cannot be copied by a chatbot For the travel trade industry in Southeast Asia and Malaysia,the implications are clear.As outbound travel from the region matures and travelers seck more refined and personalized experiences, the dcmand for quality truvcl adviser services will mirror the same upward trend being observed globally. 28.How does the text show the rise of the travel adviser industry? A.By referring to onlinc revicws. B.By presenting data. C.By quoting a number of travelers. D.By comparing it with other industrics. 29.What do travelcrs expect travel agents to do nowadays? A.Recommend unusual tourist spots. B.Always serve as local guides. C.Create a device-free space for them.D.Avoid using onlinc messaging serviccs. 30.How docs AI influence the 21st ccntury travel agents? A.It totnlly replnces them. B.It monitors them all the time. C.It makes them less cmpathetic. D.It becomes a helper to them. 31.What does the author mainly want to indicatc in the Inst paragruph? A.The bencfits of training travel agents. B.The stnndard for travel adviser services. C.The promising future of the travel ngent industry. D.The significance of mature travel markets. ◇ You're probably awarc that your coffce drink or bakcry is loaded with sugar.But did you know that large amounts of added sugnr arc also in your breakfast cereal(谷类食物)，dniry-free milk alternative and oven tnkcout fricd chicken? "Amcricans are simply consuming too much sugar,"says Frank Hu,a professor of nutrition.Most pcople consume three times the recommended daily limit of sugar.And it's not just a harmless habit. Even if you've gotten the message that too much sugar isn't good for your bealth and are taking steps to cut back,like switching to "low-sugar"baked goods and diet sodn,you haven't solved the issuc and you may have creatcd a new problem. Since the I990s,aspartamc(阿斯巴甜代糖也称人工甜味剂)has bcen widely used as a sugar substitute (in products such as diet drinks,yogurt and breakfast cereal.But the sweetener has come under thorough cxamination following a July 2023 stntement from the Intemational Agency for Rescarch on Cancer that officially classificd aspartamc as "possibly carcinogenic(to humans." So what's the answer?Ultimately,we need to rethink our relationship with the sweet stuff.For the most part,the sugars that naturally occur in an apple,a sweet potato or a glass of milk aren't an issue. It's the sugar introduced during the manufacturing of a jarred pasta sauce or when you stir n spoonful of sugar into your coffee,for example,that's harming your health. When you eat or drink something with added sugar,your blood sugar and insulin (rise sharply.On the other hand,when you chew a bowl of fresh berries,the whole fruit contains fiber and other compounds that slow how quickly the sugar is digested,so your blood sugar doesn't rise in the same way. Definitely,consuming not only less added sugar but also sugar substitutes over timc is bound to make your life a whole lot sweeter. 32.What can we probably infer in paragraph 1? A.Pcople ignore an issue about sugar. B.The writer shows his own puzzle. C.People tnke action to give up sugar. D.Bakery has less sugar than dairy-free milk. 33.Which food or drink may do less harm to our health in the text? A.Breakfust cereal. B.Diet drinks. C.A swect potato. D.Coffee drink. 34.Why do pcople fail to consume less sugar? A.More sugnry snacks are produccd. B.Foods without sugar pose more health risks. C.Compounds in sugnr are reported to be carcinogenic. D.Sugnr substitutes cxist in many foods and drinks. 35.Which is the most suitable title according to the text? A Aspartnme Should replnce sugar? B.The Bitter Truth About Sugar C.Keep Away From Sugnr D.Sugar Talks Sweetly 第二节（共5小题；每小愿2.5分，湖分125分） 阅读下面垣文从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all have scen a student athlete before:a student who also plays a sport.Some people admire them; others judge them.There are so many stcreotypes(刻板印象)that come with bcing a student athlete. 36. One of the biggest stereotypes is that student athletes are just "stupid players"rather than serious students.This stercotype often sees us as people who should only focus on our sport and not have other passions,much like Troy from "High School Musical."37.While that can be true for some,therc is so much more to a student athlete than just playing a sport. 38.Coaches pressure us to be better than their expectations within the sport.Parents cxpect us to succeed both academically and athletically.And we put expectations on ourselves for trying to build a future beyond sports.Between academic priorities,outside cxpectations,demanding schedules,and plans for a future career,.student athletes can easily feel overwhelmed(不知所措的). Although we choose to play a sport in college,it's also an opportunity for many of us that we can't easily pass.Playing a sport can provide scholarships and personal growth.39.Actually,many care about their education and future goals outside of sports. So,the stcreotype that student athletes only care about their sport is unfair and oftcn untrue.Sports are a major part of our lives,but many of us still work hard academically and personally every day.I cannot speak for every student athlete.40.So,the next time you see a student athlete maintaining a 4.0 GPA,understand that those accomplishments required an enormous amount of discipline,sacrifice, and hard work. A.They perform well under pressure. B.Not every student athlete only focuses on athletics C.This is not to say that non-athletes don't struggle,either. D.Student athletes often face more pressure than people realize. E.As a student athlete myself,I know how damaging that can be F.But I know many of them put in an incredible amount of effort. G.Some people also believe that sports are an easy way to get through school. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last summer,I took a volunteer job of sorting donated second-hand books at Oak Forest Community Library.At the beginning,I considered the work as nothing more than a simple and 41.routine, never expecting that an astonishing 42.was waiting for me.

One afternoon,during a practice,Nathan felt a sharp pain shoot through his right knee.He collapsed, and the pain didn't fade.The school doctor examined him and shook his head.“Stress fracture(骨折)，” he said."No running for at least two months."Nathan's chest tightened.The championship would be long gone by then. For days,Nathan sat in the stands,watching his teammates train.He felt useless,like a car with no engine.One evening,as he was leaving the track,he noticed a freshman boy sitting alone on the bench, staring at his own shoes.The boy,Marcus,had joined the team only a month earlier,but he'd never spoken to anyone.Nathan remembered his own first year-how lost he'd felt,how much he'd wanted someone to notice him. The next moming,Nathan arrived at the track before sunrise,not to run,but to sit beside Marcus. "You're here early,"he said.Marcus looked up,surprised."I...I don't know if I'm doing it right,"he admitted.Nathan smiled,“Let me watch.” Over the next two weeks,Nathan became Marcus's unofficial coach.He corrected his steps, encouraged him,and celebrated every small improvement.Marcus grew faster,more confident,and the team began to notice.Nathan felt a strange satisfaction-not the thrill of winning,but something quieter, deeper. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day of the championship arrived. After the race,Marcus found Nathan in the stands.
