There’s nothing like graduating to make you want a celebratory vacation. So, where should you go once you
graduate?
Iceland
学科网（北京）股份有限公司With stunning bays, shooting geysers(间歇喷泉), natural hot springs and the northern lights—Iceland offers
an otherworldly reset from your studies. A nature-first vacation, try and dedicate some time beyond the beautiful
capital Reykjavik. You’ll need a large budget to chase waterfalls, sip pints and toast your graduation in Iceland, but
you’ll look at the world entirely anew.
Florence, Italy
Florence offers a decadence(颓废) and youthfulness that is easier to access than in Rome or Naples, and its
Renaissance beauty will fill your aching heart if you don’t want to leave university or college. Marvel at Botticelli’s
masterpiece, the Birth of Venus, in the Uffizi and wander the expansive Boboli Gardens. Luxuriate with two-hour
dinners on one of their many piazzas, climb to the top of the fabled Duomo to take in the rolling hills in the
distance. There is so much to love about Florence, but like most major cities in Italy, it can be expensive, but it’s the
price you pay to heal your heartache.
Greece
Few places have the same vacation appeal as Greece. With its hot, sunny climate and brilliant museums,
especially the Acropolis Museum, the fantastic restaurants and endless island hopping opportunities, it’s hard to
have a dull moment. Pro-tip: Don’t skip Athens. The birthplace of Western civilization and a paradise for thinkers,
artists and scientists, come see the starting place for man’s greatest ideas.
Vietnam
Affordable, beautiful and warm, a graduation trip to Vietnam gets you out of your comfort zone. Get lost in a
sea of mopeds in Hanoi and slurp pho on stools along the sidewalk. Head up to Halong Bay, where you can tour its
limestone islands on a junk boat.
21. If we want to enjoy the beautiful northern lights, where should we go?
A. Iceland. B. Florence. C. Athens. D. Vietnam.
22. What do Iceland and Florence have in common?
A. We can fill our aching heart. B. There are many delicious piazzas.
C. Both need a large budget. D. Both have a long and prosperous history.
23. Why should we not skip Athens if we have our vocation in Greece?
A. Because we appreciate many masters’artworks.
B. Because we can visit many brilliant museums.
C. Because we will never have a dull moment.
D. Because Western civilization originates from here.
B
Archaeologists said on Wednesday they have unearthed the oldest wooden structure ever discovered, dating
from nearly half a million years ago, which suggests that our ancestors may have been more advanced than
previously thought.
The exceptionally well-preserved wooden structure was found at Kalambo Falls in the north of Zambia near
the border with Tanzania. It dates back at least 476,000 years, well before the evolution of Homo sapiens(智人),
according to a study describing the find in the journal Nature.
The wood bears cut marks showing that stone tools were used to join two large logs to make the structure,
which is believed to be a walkway or platform raised above the seasonally wet surroundings. A collection of
学科网（北京）股份有限公司wooden tools, including a wedge(楔子) and a digging stick, were also discovered at the site.
The ancestors of humans were already known to use wood at this time, but for limited purposes such as
starting a fire or hunting.
“The structure involves the intentional shaping of two trees to create a framework of two interlocking sup-
ports,” Larry Barham, an archaeologist at the University of Liverpool in England and the study’s lead author, said.
“A notch(槽口) was cut into the overlying log and the underlying tree was shaped to fit through the notch. This
arrangement prevents the overlying log from moving side to side, giving stability to the structure.”
Discoveries involving such ancient wood are rare because it tends to rot, leaving behind little trace for
historical record. But the high level of water at Kalambo Falls is believed to have preserved the structure over the
centuries.
“The finds from Kalambo Falls indicate that these earlier humans, like Homo sapiens, had the capacity to alter
their surroundings, creating a built environment,” Barham said. “Use of wood in this way suggests the cognitive
ability to these early humans was greater than we have believed based on stone tools alone.”
24. What does the discovery imply?
A. Our ancestors had advanced science technology.
B. Our ancestors were more advanced than thought before.
C. Our ancestors could make advanced wooden houses then.
D. Our ancestors could use wood to make a fire or hunt.
25. What did Larry Barham try to convey?
A. The wood structure was quite common in ancient times.
B. The wood arrangement still lack stability to the structure.
C. The wood structure displays our ancestors’ wisdom.
D. The wood structure was used to build a stable house.
26. Why is the wood structure preserved so well over centuries?
A. Because it was made of good wood near Kalambo Falls.
B. Because it was preserved well by local people near Kalambo Falls.
C. Because the local people used some special techniques to preserve it.
D. Because the wood structure dipped in deep water can be preserved well.
27. What might be the best title of this article?
A. Wood Structure Found Displays Modern Technology
B. World’s Oldest Wooden Structure Discovered in Zambia
C. Wood Structure Found Proves Scientists’ theory.
D. Our Ancestors Contribute a lot to Our Science Advancement.

Approximately half of working-age Americans are struggling to pay for health care expenses, according to a
new analysis, which also found around 1 in 3 individuals are struggling with some form of health care debt.
Findings released Thursday from the first-ever Health Care Affordability Survey from the Commonwealth
Fund show 51% of adults between 19 and 64 years old said it was either very or somewhat difficult for them and
their family to afford their health care costs, including 43% of people who reported having employer-based health
学科网（北京）股份有限公司insurance and 57% who had health insurance through a marketplace or individual plan.
About half of working-age adults with Medicare coverage and 45% of those insured under Medicaid(医疗补
助) also reported having difficulty paying health care costs. Notably, 65% of working-age adults also said price
inflation for other goods and services in the past year had affected their or their family’s ability to afford health
care.
The survey, concerning a nationally representative sample of nearly 7,900 people 19 and older in the U. S.,
was conducted from mid-April through July of this year. It follows a separate analysis from research organization
KFF that showed both health insurance costs for employer-sponsored plans and worker contributions to those plans
ticked up in 2023.
The newly published analysis found that 38% of respondents cited affordability as the reason they or a family
member skipped or delayed getting needed health care services or filling prescription medication in the past 12
months, including 29% of people with employer-based coverage, 37% who were covered by individual and
marketplace health plans, 42% who had Medicare and 39% who were covered by Medicaid.
More than 6 in 10 people who lacked any type of health insurance said they or a family member delayed or
skipped care because they couldn’t afford it. And among all those who reported skipping or delaying care, 57% said
a health problem got worse as a result.
28. How does the article present Americans’ health care payment situation?
A. By citing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By giving reasons. D. By making comparisons.
29. What leads to most working-age Americans’ difficulty in paying health care costs?
A. Their heavy debt. B. Unemployment.
C. Higher cost of living. D. Higher health care payment.
30. What may the underlined phrase in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Declined. B. Climbed up.
C. Remained stable. D. Kept uncertain.
31. What may happen to those who lacked any type of health insurance?
A. They may get worse if they have health problems.
B. They are sure to obtain help from the government.
C. They may have to skip or delay any health problems.
D. They may not get affected with any diseases.
D
The world’s population is aging: by 2025, people aged 60 or above will represent 20 percent of the global
population. The gains in socioeconomic development mean that many people are reaching old age healthier,
wealthier and better educated than previous generations.
With significant purchasing power and specific needs, older people in developed and emerging economies are
seen as the fastest growing consumer group in the world, offering opportunities for business growth for many major
industries. The market for products and services aimed at people aged over 50—known as the “silver economy”—
is currently estimated to be worth $ 15 trillion globally and is expected to rise exponentially(以指数方式) as the
number of older people continues to grow.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Importantly, the “silver economy” can contribute to a country’s social development alongside the economic
gains because when businesses set out to boost their profits by designing solutions to the challenges faced by older
people, they can also create social value by improving the quality of life of people as they age.
China has the largest number of older people in the world with 216.8 million of its population aged 65 or
above, and that number is set to increase to 400 million by 2050. As a result, China’s “silver economy” is
projected to triple in value, from $750 billion in 2020 to $2.1 trillion by 2030, and could reach a value of $4.2
trillion, accounting for 10 percent of China’s GDP by 2035.
The recently published “Opinions on Developing the Silver Economy and Improving the Well-being of
Older Person” is China’s first specific policy guideline for the development of China’s “silver economy”, and
China’s experience over the next decade can offer important insights for emerging economies into how best to meet
the needs of an aging population while also maximizing the economic development opportunities from such a
dramatic shift.
32. What does “silver economy” mean?
A. The economy related to silver mine industry.
B. The economy concerning aging population.
C. The economy dealing with social development.
D. The economy connected with next generation.
33. What is the future of “silver economy” according the article?
A. Uncertain. B. Pessimistic. C. Negative. D. Promising.
34. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. China is not worried about its aging population.
B. China will not experience aging population problem.
C. China’s silver economy will boom in the near future.
D. The aging population doesn’t make sense in China.
35. How did China tackle with the aging population?
A. China published its first specific policy guideline.
B. China offered precious experience for other countries.
C. China made a dramatic shift in economy development.
D. China maximized its silver economy development.

M: Ms. Green, I am afraid if your son keeps annoying other students in class, I’ll have to ask you to find another
school for him.

W: I am thinking we can buy it for your mother. Doesn’t she like old things?

W: But if I visit the school, what should I do?

W: Mike, how is work?
M: Not so good. I often face challenges at work that I find very hard to handle. I really regret not having gone to
college.
W: Why not try a trusted platform for online education? You can find a lot of college-level courses on the Internet.

W: Certainly. You can give edX a shot. It’s founded by Harvard and MIT. The courses are created and taught by
professors from top universities.
M: That’s great. Are the courses free?
W: No, but they are definitely much cheaper than an actual college course. You can also achieve a certificate when
you complete them.

W: Yes. Users can learn at their own pace. However, all assignments are due when the course ends.
M: Well, I’ll certainly give it a try. I do want to be more learned and gain some useful skills through some online
courses.

will be an art show on Saturday afternoon and a special game tent just for children.
M: And all the profits from the fair go to support the hospital? What a good idea!

W: Are you a pet owner? A study shows that British people with dogs or cats would like to turn on the radio or the
TV while they’re away from home for their pets. They want to make the pets feel less lonely. But do your pets like
this?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Sometimes dogs respond to human music. The study found that classical music appeared to have a calming
effect on the dogs. Some of them chose to simply lie down to listen to it. Meanwhile, music by the heavy metal
band seemed to excite the dogs. Finally, pop music, much like the sounds of human conversations, appeared to have
no effect on them.
For cats, they hardly respond to human music because their hearing range is different from that of humans. So
what they hear when they listen to our music is different from what we hear. Scientists once tried to see what would
happen if they played "cat music" for the cats. They asked the musician David Teie to make special music for cats.
And, it turns out, when playing this music to 47 cats in the study compared to playing two different classical music
pieces, the cats paid more attention to the cat music.
Good news for cat lovers is that they can buy special cat music online. David Teie created cat music for sale
online.
