Ecotourism Activities and Types

Not every outdoor or nature-based activity qualifies as ecotourism. Overtourism has made this clear. As outlined in our blog, ecotourism mainly includes wildlife viewing, cultural ecotourism, hiking and recreation and citizen science and voluntourism.

Wildlife Viewing

Responsible wildlife viewing offers the chance to observe animals behaving naturally and moving freely within healthy ecosystems. This may involve guided forest walks to spot birds, watching elephants walking across open plains, or observing whales from a distance.

Cultural Ecotourism

Cultural ecotourism offers insight into local traditions and lifestyles. Experiences may include learning from long-established communities, visiting important sites, or joining nature-related activities. Such activities must get permission from local communities and should directly benefit communities, ensuring heritage is shared on the community's own terms.

Hiking and Recreation

Hiking and recreation ecotourism activities might include cycling along coastlines, or snowshoeing through valleys. These activities slow the pace of travel, making it easier to notice details like wildflowers or bird songs that are often missed. To be considered ecotourism, recreational activities must follow the Leave No Trace principles, stay on selected roads and park legally.

Citizen Science and Voluntourism

Citizen science and voluntourism engage travelers in hands-on conservation activities such as wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, or road maintenance. These experiences give participants a clearer understanding of environmental challenges while supporting scientific research. Well-designed activities create a mutually beneficial exchange: travelers learn from local experts, and conservation programs gain extra capacity.

21.Which experience requires localpermission?

A.Wildlife Viewing.B. CulturalEcotourism.

C. Hikingand Recreation.D. Citizen Science andVoluntourism.

22.Which activity belongs to Citizen Science andVoluntourism?

A.Ridingtrained elephants.B. Repairing natural paths.

C. Visitingtourist-only villages.D. Taking photos with dolphins closely.

23.What is the author's purpose of writing theblog?

A.To telltravel stories.B. To explain overtourism.

C. To introducereal ecotourism.D. To show fun outdoor activities.

In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending （修补）someone' s much­ loved dress, while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Cafe, run by Transition Crich, a "share and repair“ project, in the village of Crich.

This project began five years ago, when the local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. "We've grown from just mending items to having craft activities, a cafe area, and stands from local groups/5 says committee member Linda. Crucially, the group doesn't charge for its services. "You don't have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for donations to cover our costs,“ says Linda.

Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Cafe as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. "The community in Crich have been, and continue to be, an amazingsupporttomyfamily,followingmycancerdiagnosis（诊断），“hesays."Gettinginvolvedhas helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.”

This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to fight against fast fashion. A photography competition encourages people to take photos while being cognizantof nature. The group also works with a junior school on environmental awareness projects, helping young students learn to mend their connection to the natural world.

Whether a volunteer or event attendee, the community benefit greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness isn't reserved for one particular group of society. What makes inclusion initiatives hke Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to mend the gaps between generations, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve.

24.What inspired the start of the “share and repair“project?

A.Arepaired item.B. A donation campaign.

C. Avolunteerappeal.D. A classic handcraft.

25.What does the sharpening service bring toAlan?

A.An optimistic attitudeto life.B. Better treatments ofcancer.

C. A steadyeconomic support.D. Improved professionalskills.

26.What does the underlined word “cognizant“ in paragraph 4 probablymean?

A.Analytical.B. Mindful.

C.Curious.D. Independent.

27.What is the best title of thetext?

A.Friends WhoMend

B.Donations ThatCount

C.Sharing Coffee, Enjoying Lives

D.Designing Projects, MeetingLocals

My great-grandfather moved to Mexico over a century ago. He learned Spanish and raised five children in a mixed German-Mexican household, but he didn't teach them German, and the language was lost in one generation. Yet three generations later, my children recovered it during visits to Germany. This story is a case study about human cognition （认知）.

When bilinguals （ 双 语 者 ）switch languages, they choose the right language system by mapping contextstoresponseswhile keepingoutputconsistent.Thismechanism（机带U） worksacross fields.Taxi drivers develop brain adaptations to manage thousands of routes and pick the best one. Professional musicians constantly switch between musical notes, rhythms, and emotional expressions, requiring frequent cognitive adjustments. Learning, understanding, and adaptation are all forms of translation-matching expectations with the environment. This reframes intelligence itself. Intelligence isn't just computation within a single domain. It5s the ability to move between domains, to translate meaning intoaction.

This matters urgently because of AL Large language models process information at massive scales and match humans on many tasks, but they are stuck in computational frameworks. They fail when the environment changes in ways unforeseen by training data, lacking domain translation, physical experience, and real life.

Humans survive change by switching cognitive domains:when one system fails, we turn to another一from symbolic thought to sensory experience. This flexibility is our greatest strength. We are not just information processors; we are domain translators. If cross-domain translation is our fundamental adaptive mechanism, succeeding in the AI age means strengthening this ability: identifying domain traps, translating across domains, and building cognitive architectures that facilitate domain switching.

AI will continue improving at fixed-domain tasks, but only humans can move between disconnected domains. The future won't belong to those who process the most information, but to those who translate between humans and AI, between multiple meaning systems, and between our present and future selves. Adaptation is essentially translation. And translation is fundamentally human.

28.Why does the author mention the familystory?

A.To stress humancapacity.

C. To praise family education.

29.What is the intelligence reframed in paragraph 2?

A.Effectiveaction-taking.

C. Cross-field translation.

30.What is paragraph 4 mainlyabout?

A.Human's cognitiveadvantage.

C. Al's multi-systemadaptability.

B.To present a languagebias.

D. To illustrate a mechanism.

B. Computational abilities at scale.

D. Constant shifts in thoughts.

B. Human5s intellectual domain.

D. Al's huge information storage.

31.Who would have a brighter future based on the lastparagraph?

A.Those processing muchinformation.

C. Those concentrating on a fixed field.

B. Those adapting to different domains.

D. Those developing meaning systems.

On a hot summer day, a cold drink is a welcome treat. But the cooling technology behind it comes at a cost. Traditional refrigerators use gases called hydrofluorocarbons （HFCs）, which are powerful contributors to global wanning. Finding a better way has long been an unsolved problem. Now, scientists have developed a new cooling method that may changethis.

Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released a technique called ionocaloric （离子热）cooling. As the name suggests, it uses ions-charged particles （粒子）一to create a cooling effect. The idea builds on a simple physical process and theoretical modeling:melting takes heat. You've seen this on a winter road-salt on ice causes it to melt, even in freezing temperatures. The ionocaloric cycle also

uses salt to change a liquid's phase and cool its sunoundings.

Through modeling, the team predicted that moving ions could change a materiaPs melting point, allowing it to absorb heat on demand. To test this prediction, scientists mixed a salt-sodium iodide-into a liquid, ethylene carbonate （EC,碳酸乙烯酯）.When a small electric cunent was applied, the salt ionsmoved, which changed the melting point of the liquid, causing it to melt. As the liquid melted, it absorbed heat, cooling the space like melting ice. The team measured a temperature drop of 25℃ with less than one

volt一outperforming other similar technologies.

These results point to a bigger story. The system balances efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Early tests show promise in all three. One reason is the working liquid, EC, can be made from CO2, meaning the system could be carbon-negative-it avoids harm and helps clean up. "The ionocaloric cycle has the potential to meet all these goals,“ said Drew Lilley, the leading engineer.

If successful, this technology could help nations meet the goals of the Kigali Amendment, which aims to cut HFC use by 80%. Now, researchers face the next challenge: moving the technology from the lab totherealworld.Withfurtherdevelopment,thesesystemscouldonedayprovidebothcoolingandheating一without harming theplanet.

32.What is the principle of the ionocaloriccooling?

A.Melting absorbs heat from sunoundings. B. Expanding gas can producecooling.

C. Electricity can generate heat in materials. D. Salt lowers the freezing point of water.

33.How did researchers test theirprediction?

A.By reducing the amount ofHFCs.

B.By measuring CChin theatmosphere.

C.By monitoring real-time winter roadconditions.

D.By conducting cunent in a salt-containingliquid.

34.Why does the author stress EC can be made fromCO2?

A.To state how the system cutsHFCs.

B.To prove the system can saveelectricity.

C.To explain how the system brings coolingeffect.

D.To show the system can help ease globalwarming.

35.What is the author's attitude towards ionocaloriccooling?

A.Negative.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful. D. Dismissive.

Food Technology is a vital subject but has fallen out of favour in recent years, overshadowed by “academic“ subjects.36 As a Food Technology teacher, I firmly believe that the time has come

to reinvent it.

Engaging students in Food Technology can help shape practical problem-solving skills, enabling them to make more informed choices about their diets. But Food Technology must evolve to meet the demands of the modem age.37Instead a modem food tech program must be reflective of cunent culinary（烹饪的）innovations. We need a cunicula （课程）that emphasises fresh, seasonal ingredients, and international cuisines.

In an era when students can show off their recipes via social media, we can also seize the opportunity to

introduce technology into our food tech classes. Beyond being tools for accessing information, digital platforms have the potential to enhance our culinary instruction techniques. We can task students with developing their own meal-planning apps.38

In my reimagined Food Technology classes, inclusivity would play a further crucial role. We now live in a multicultural society, where food practices vary widely. By celebrating diverse culinary traditions, we can teach students about nutrition from a range of cultural perspectives.39 Ifs important that

students learn to respect and celebrate the differences that food represents. Such an approach would not only help to build their understanding and empathy, but also to enrich and expand their culinary horizons and fuel their interest in trying new foods.

40 Who knows-we mightwellendupwithclassroomsfulloffuturechefs,health advocates and food scientists, all eager to come up with their own solutions to the world's culinary challenges.

A.Cooking can bridge differences.

B.Each dish tells a unique culturalstory.

C.Or we can engage them in interactive cookinglessons.

D.Gone, after all, are the days of simply boilingcabbage.

E.Yet there is a growing awareness of diet-related healthissues.

F.To achieve that, however, well need more passionateeducators.

G.Diverse local recipes are seldom mentioned in modem FoodTechnology.

Leo had been dreaming about this night for months. Ever since he saw a poster at the local library announcing the “Great August Meteor Shower （流星雨）”, he had been fascinated. But he didn't just want to watch the meteors; he wanted to see them through his own telescope.

In the comer of the garage, Leo worked on his project every day. It was a telescope kit he had found in his grandfather's garage. Though old and a bit worn, it meant a lot to him. He carefully cleaned the minors and followed the instructions in the worn guidebook. His grandfather often sat nearby, quietly watching him. “You're doing a great job,^^ Grandpa said with a smile. "A telescope helps, of course. But in the end, ifs how you look at the sky that really matters/5 Leo nodded, though his attention soon returned to the small, shiningpieces in his hands.

By Friday, the telescope was finally ready. Leo named it the Sky-Scanner. Though it looked a little unsteady on its wooden stand, it worked well enough. When he tested it on a distant chimney （烟囱），the image appeared clear. A wave of excitement ran through him-he was ready.

That evening, Leo set up everything in the backyard. The air was cool, and the smell of fresh grass filled the air. With a small red flashlight, he checked his star map and adjusted the telescope toward the horizon（地平线）.One by one, stars began to appear in the darkening sky.

Just as he leaned forward to make a final adjustment, his foot caught on a garden water pipe. He was trapped and hit the stand. With a sharp sound, the eyepiece fell off and disappeared into the grass. Leo dropped to his knees and searched desperately, but the yard was too dark. "No," he whispered, his voice shaking. 'Tve ruined everything." The meteor shower was supposed to peak in thirty minutes, and without that tiny piece of glass, the stars would seem like distant, unclear dots.

Green Initiatives Around the Globe

Looking for ways to protect our planet? Here are three successful green projects from different parts of the world that fbcus on urban life, wildlife, and health.

The Netherlands: A Car-Free City

In the 1970s, the city of Groningen faced serious traffic jams. To solve this, the city council replaced motorways with green areas, walking zones, and cycleways. Although shop owners initially feared losing customers, the car-free zone actually boosted business. Today, 61% of trips in the city are made by bicycle, and Groningen enjoys the cleanest air of any large Dutch city.

Ecuador: Camera Traps for Wildlife

The Bigal River nature park, located between the Amazon forest and the Andes, is home to diverse species. However, human activity and habitat loss have threatened local wildlife. To protect the area, the Sumac Muyu Foundation set camera traps in 2014. These devices record animal behavior and movements whenever they enter certain areas. The video is now being used as evidence to prevent new building projects on protected land.

Mexico: The Patsari Stove （炉子）

Many families worldwide still rely on open fires for cooking, which release harmful smoke and waste fuel. The Patsari stove, developed in Mexico, offers a brilliant solution. Made of bricks with a chimney （烟囱 ）to lead smoke outside, it uses much less wood than traditional fires. Health studies show that families using these stoves see a 30% drop in lung infections and a 50% decrease in eye problems.

21.What can be infened about Groningen's car-freezone?

A.It caused a decline in localtrade.

B.It proved to be economicallybeneficial.

C.It was initially opposed by thecouncil.

D.It prioritized motorways over greenareas.

22.What is the purpose of Camera Traps forWildlife?

A.To record humanactivities.

B.To prevent habitat loss.

C.To launch new projects.

D.To locate localanimals.

23.Where is the text likely takenfrom?

A.A medicaljournal.

B.A travelbrochure.

C.An environmentalmagazine.

D.A constructionreport.

“All right, class, settle down!^^ my teacher, Ms. Garcia, announced. "Today, you are going to writeabout your best friend in real life. I want specific details. Begin!”

I sat with my pencil over my paper. For a moment, I hesitated. I knew I didn't really have someone like that.Still,I loweredmy headandbegan to write: My best friendis Hayley. She plays the cello（大提琴）, like I do, and we go to orchestra every Saturday. She makes people laugh, and whenever I feel nervous, she tells me, "You've got this." We've been best friends since fourth grade. I knew Hayley wasn't real, but itwas easier than explaining why I didn't have a bestfriend.

In fact, there was a girl in my orchestra class, Emily, who usually practiced the cello in the music room. Once, she helped me adjust my bow hold after a rehearsal （ 排 练 ）and gave me an encouraging smile. “You've got this,“ she said softly. I had also seen her patiently help another student work through a difficult passage, never showing the slightest impatience. We didn't talk much because I was too shy to start a conversation, but I couldn't forget her kindness. Without realizing it, I had bonowed pieces of her to create Hayley.

At school, I didn't have real friends. My classmates were polite and kind, but I was just too hesitant and shy to be the first to reach out. When I needed someone, I didn't know who to turn to. When loneliness came over, I would imagine someone like Emily beside me, her gentle voice offering encouragement. She was the friend I wished I could have.

The next day, Ms. Garcia returned my essay with a bright red "A". "Hayley sounds wonderful! I've signed you and her up to perform a cello duo （ 二 重 奏 ）at next Friday's Cultural Festival.My heart skipped a beat. The lie I had built for protection suddenly turned into a trap. I was totally at a loss.

P2: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。

I crossed my arms as I waited for my volleyball coach to finish talking to the officials. There was a problem with the score. But did it really matter? The Lions were ahead of us, 24-14, and the game would end at 25. On the other side of the net, number 8 covered her mouth and yawned, as if the result had already been decided.

A team needed to win two out of three games to win the match, and we had already won the first. As captain, I called my teammates together and told them that the Lions probably thought the game was already over. Maybe they were right, but I didn't want to give up so easily. We had come too far to let it end like this. "It's your serve, Kait/51 said. "From here on out, nothing drops.,5 Kait nodded.

Thewhistle （口哨）blew.Kait threw the ball intothe air. Smack（砰的一声）！ Herserve flew over the net and landed untouched. Our team cheered. She served again, and then again. Point by point, wefought back, each of us doing our part, the score climbing to 24-18. “Come on, guys!” a player on the Lions called out. Kait served again, and after another two points, we pulled the score up to 24-20. Even number 8no longerlooked so relaxed.

Kait served again. The Lions returned the ball, and it came back quickly to our side. I rushed forward and managed to keep the play going, sending the ball back over the net.
