The National Geographic Traveller (UK) Photography Competition is open for entries—— and we' re after your most
spectacular shots from the past year. To be in with a chance of having your work published in the magazine, submit yourimages in up to four categories. Judged by industry- leading photographers and editors,the competition is your opportunity
to be noticed and win a luxury three- night break.
THE CATEGORIES
●People
More often than not, it's the people you encounter that make a trip—— but it can be difficult capturing the character
of someone you' ve only just met. Have you managed it?
●Landscape
Shooting a landscape might seem easy, but few can really draw out the defining features. Can you identify fascinating
contrasts, or show a level of detail that others can't see?
●Wildlife
Wildlife is one of the great wonders of travel. Spotting creatures in their natural habitat can be about luck——
capturing them with your camera is not.
●Food
Whether it's a local farmer bringing in the harvest or chefs hard at work in a street kitchen, this category celebrates
every stage of the cooking journey from field to fork.
THE PRIZE
The Grand Prize winner, from the four categories, will receive a luxury three- night escape to a UK hotel of their

It's January 2022, and my seven-year-old son is standing on his skateboard at the top of a concrete slope(斜坡). He
looks scared, and I'm urging him to try, almost begging. The reason for my enthusiasm? Just a few weeks earlier, I stoodfrozen in that same spot before taking my own leap. I know how amazed he' ll feel afterward, so we take baby steps.
Finally, he does it all on his own. As he makes it, his smile lights up the entire skatepark.
There's something magical about skateboarding: In a flash, fright turns into delight. My husband and Ibegan skating
even when we are in our 40s, so that we could learn alongside our son. As a“later skater”, I' ve come to realize that
everything seems impossible until you try it. At the time, I had no idea how much I would gain from the not-so-simple art
of standing sideways.
First, skateboarding teaches determination because progress comes from efforts. No matter how skilled the crowd or
how gravity-defying (反重力的) the moves, you' ll see just as many tricks going wrong as right. Irish writer Samuel
Beckett could have been speaking for skaters when he wrote:“Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
There are also plenty of sensible benefits, such as mindfulness. When you' re skateboarding, it's almost impossible
to think of anything else. What magic it is to step on a piece of wood with four little wheels and be transported to a place
where your head is emptied and the outside world can't touch you.
The best part, though? The community. My husband, son and I are part of an informal group of parents and children
who skate together. We love it, from the clear ringing sound beneath our wheels to the way the sun makes the graffiti-
covered buildings pop with color. We make friends and learn from one another. We face our fears side by side, cheer for
the highs, and share the falls.
24. Why did the author urge her son to try?
A. She was troubled by his falling behind.
B. She wanted him to defeat fear quickly.
C. She worried about his lack of enthusiasm.
D. She wished him to enjoy the delight after fear.
25. What is the author's purpose in mentioning Samuel Beckett?
A. To explain how to avoid failures. B. To prove skateboarding needs talent.
C. To stress the value of consistent efforts. D. To show sports' influence on literature.
26. What is the benefit of skateboarding according to Paragraph 4?
A. It makes people think more clearly.
B. It helps keep the distractions away.
C. It encourages skaters to build connections.
D. It speeds skaters to escape from chasers.
27. What message does the author convey in the text?
A. Any risky sport is worth trying. B. Courageous attempts lead to growth.
C. Parents should push children to take risks. D. Constant failure ensures ultimate success.
C
What is your favorite work of art? Now imagine it was created by artificial intelligence (AI).
A recent U. S. survey explored public views on AI-generated art. The results were clear: most participants disliked
art made entirely by AI. They believed human art possesses an emotional depth that machines cannot——and perhaps
should not——reproduce. In fact, over 60% said they would like their favorite piece of art less if it was AI-generated with
no human involvement.
The core issue is that we seek the human experience in art. We want to see the artist's personal touch,their story, andtheir effort. As one respondent noted, a film like Good Will Hunting is valued as"a masterpiece of the human
experience."As philosopher John Dewey wrote, art is a fundamental form of communication. If great art comes from
human emotions, what is the role of AI?
The survey found people are open to AI as a tool. When asked if AI users are artists, 42% said"Yes, but only if they
provide significant guidance."Only 13% considered AI users artists without reservation. This suggests that people see AI
as an assistant to human creativity, not a replacement for the artist.
This is important because art can be inaccessible. Many face barriers like cost, lack of resources, or physical
limitations. For instance, professional tools and training are often expensive or geographically limited.AI has the potential
to lower these barriers, making creation more accessible to everyone. For example, some professionals are already using
AI to help new storytellers. However, we often value effort and handmade items more. Therefore, for AI-assisted art to be
trusted, it needs a clear connection to the author's unique vision. Art forms that rely heavily on genuine human connection,
like movies and podcasts(播客), were seen as least suitable for AI creation.
In conclusion, while AI's role in art will grow, our survey shows that people value it most as a means of human
connection and prefer it to assist rather than replace the artist.
28. What is the main finding of the survey?
A. Public resistance to fully AI art is common.
B. AI is incapable of creating emotionally deep art.
C. Most people refuse to accept any form of AI art.
D. AI art is considered more valuable for its efficiency.
29. What's the major reason behind the finding?
A. The concern about art's cost and access. B. The demand for guidance during creation.
C. The appreciation for human individuality in art. D. The recognition of art as human communication.
30. What does the author try to convey in Paragraph 5?
A. The function of AI in supporting art creators.
B. The threat of AI-assisted art to traditional art.
C. The potential of human efforts being replaced.
D. The value of human involvement in art creation.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The AI Artist: A Rising Force in Art
B. AI's Role in Art: A Tool, Not a Replacement
C. Human Art: The Unbeatable Human Element
D. AI's Creativity: The Limits of Smart Technology
D
Even desert cities could pull drinking water from the air. A yearlong study in Chile's Atacama Desert suggests that a
simple method of harvesting water from fog could help ease water shortages for urban areas. This innovative approach
has gained renewed attention as climate change worsens the lack of water in dry regions.
The research, led by geographer Virginia Carter Gamberini, focused on the city of Alto Hospicio. The team found
that using large nets, it was possible to collect between 0.2 and 5 liters of fog water per square meter daily. The amount
collected changes depending on the height of the area and how thick the fog is, with places located higher showing betterresults.“This shows fog water can be a practical addition,” Gamberini said, highlighting its potential as an additional water
source.
The need for such solutions is urgent. Chile suffers from a severe long-term drought, and its water resources are
poorly managed. In addition, population growth and industrial expansion are increasing water demand. Much of the
region's groundwater is taken away for mining and agriculture, leaving cities like AltoHospicio, which relies on water
trucked in from distant aquifer(含水层) drill sites, in a risky situation.
The collection process is straightforward. When wet fog, known locally as“camanchaca”, rolls in, a net sheet, acting
as a barrier that catches the water in the air, is set up to capture tiny water droplets. The water then falls into a specially
designed channel, which is impermeable, preventing the precious water from being lost into the dry ground.
Despite its promise, fog harvesting alone cannot fully meet the city's demand, which reaches about300,000 liters
weekly. However, the research team views it as a workable and sustainable strategy. Gamberini concluded on an optimistic
note, stating that this approach“may offer a small bloom of hope in the desert” for water-stressed cities.
32. What is the main purpose of the research?
A. To evaluate the daily output of fog water collection.
B. To explore a potential solution to Chile's climate change.
C. To help address the water shortage faced by desert communities.
D. To improve the efficiency of water transportation from distant sources.
33. What is the direct cause of water stress in cities like Alto Hospicio?
A. The lack of rainfall throughout the year.
B. The overuse of groundwater by other industries.
C. The failure of local water management policies.
D. The high cost of transporting water from distant sources.
34. What does the underlined word“impermeable” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Able to be moved easily.
B. Very expensive to produce.
C. Capable of absorbing water quickly.
D. Not allowing water to pass through.
35. What is Gamberini's attitude towards the future of fog harvesting?
A. Realistic and positive. B. Critical and dismissive.
C. Enthusiastic and ambitious. D. Uncertain and hesitant.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Have Good Mental Health
Most people understand the importance of a healthy body, but many overlook the value of mental health.Good mental
health makes life more enjoyable and promotes better physical health. To be truly healthy, you must care for both body
and mind.
36
Feeling good about yourself is crucial. A powerful technique is to actively question your inner critic. When a negative
thought arises, ask yourself:“Is this thought true? Is it kind?” 3 . This shift in perspective,such as changing“I never get
anything right” to“Sometimes I fail, but I also succeed,” can significantly reduce self- doubt. Equally important is learningto focus on your strengths during challenging times, reminding yourself of the qualities that have helped you overcome
past challenges.
Coping with Stress
Stress can harm both mental and physical health. Fortunately, there are effective ways to manage it.Practices like
deep breathing and focusing on the present moment can decrease anxiety. Physical exercise also plays a significant role,
as it releases natural chemicals that improve mood. While it may feel like the last thing you want to do when stressed, it's
worth pushing through that initial resistance. 38 .
Managing Negative Emotions
Dealing with strong emotions is part of life. It is vital to develop the ability to process these feelings in a healthy
way. 39 The goal is to develop healthy outlets. Furthermore, practicing self- awareness by noticing your feelings
without immediate judgment allows for more thoughtful and controlled responses.
Maintaining Healthy Relationships
Strong social support is vital for mental wellness. 40 . Trust, respect, and good communication are the foundations
of positive connections. In contrast, relationships that are characterized by control, blame, or that consistently make you
feel bad are likely unhealthy. Learning to assess your relationships and intentionally care for the supportive ones is
fundamental to your mental well- being.
A. Building Positive Self- images
B. Accepting Your imperfections
C Even a short walk can make a noticeable difference
D. Another key strategy involves revising these negative narratives
E. You can also set aside time each day to do sports and listen to music
F. This involves distinguishing supportive connections from stressful ones
G. This could mean talking with a friend, listening to music, or simply taking a walk

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。
My brother's wedding brought us to Mexico City. It is a beautiful place with amazing food, but it also has an alarming
crime rate, including肾napping s(绑架) of tourists. Before arriving, my sister-in-law-to-be, who lived there, relayed all
the safety tips.
“Never get in a red-and-gold cab. Those aren't licensed, and anyone can paint their car, abduct you,steal your money,
and make you empty the ATM,” she said. Her smile didn't match the severity of the warning.
“Check. Avoid red-and-gold cabs,”I replied.
On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were to be separated. My sister-in-law had arranged for my mother and
me to have our hair and makeup done in my hotel room. Once our transformation was complete,we'd head to the hotel
shuttle (班车) to take us safely to the wedding pictures at the venue, which was only across the street. We could have
walked if it weren't for the heels we were spending the next twelve hours swelling in.
We stood outside our hotel awaiting transport. In Mexico City, weddings are formal affairs. We were wearing
gowns(礼服), so the locals knew there was a wedding.
A coach pulled up in front of us, and the hotel staff seated us. All the other rows were full of people in gowns and
suits. The occupants were having heated conversations in Spanish.
I don't speak Spanish.
We asked the driver if we were on the right transport, and the answer was a nod. Hundreds of Spanish-speaking
people were going to my brother's wedding. I had only met five of them at that point, and all of them were currently at the
hotel smiling for the camera, so it was reasonable to assume the driver was correct.
The van (客车) headed in the direction we were going when I realized that everyone else had plans to attend the same
wedding—— and it wasn't my brother's.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The van turned around and drove past our destination.
Having dropped off all other passengers, the driver made a call and a red-and-gold cab came soon.
