World-famous Botanical Gardens
From botanical history to scientific discovery, here are the top picks for people to explore.
Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, London, England (1840)
Located in London, Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew are home to the world’s biggest
collection of living plants. As a global resource for plant and fungal knowledge, it has more than
50,000 species of native and exotic plants, trees, and flowers on site. It is a setting rich in history
that spans from royal decorations to wartime bombing, and its mission is to protect plants for the
future of all life on Earth.
The Humble Administrator’s Garden, Suzhou, China (1513)
The Humble Administrators Garden in Suzhou is a great masterpiece with its attractive
design and careful arrangement of natural elements. It’s centered around water features, with
beautiful fountains, complex rockwork, and historic buildings surrounded by thick vegetation. The
combination of these elements creates a picturesque landscape. Because of its exceptional cultural
and historical significance, the garden has become a world heritage.
Parque de Monserrate, Sintra, Portugal (1789)
Monserrate is a combination of wild landscape with old ruins, formal lawned areas and
lovely gardens. The garden sits on the lower slopes of the Sintra Mountains, which have one of the
mildest climates in Europe, so the garden is frost-free. At its very centre is a grand palace, which
has a distinctive mixture of different architectural styles. It has been the site of various buildings
and gardens for hundreds of years.
Missouri Botanical Garden, St Louis, USA (1859)
Established in 1859, Missouri Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical garden in continuous

Since young children went back to school across Sweden recently, many of their teachers
have been putting a new emphasis on printed books, quiet reading time and handwriting practice,
and devoting less time to tablets, independent online research and keyboarding skills.
The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts
questioning whether Sweden’s hyper-digitalized approach to education, including the introduction
of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills.
Sweden’s minister for schools, Lotta Edholm was one of the biggest critics of the all-out
embrace of technology. “Sweden’s students need more textbooks,” Edholm said in March.
“Physical books are important for student learning.” The minister announced in August that the
government wanted to change the decision by the national agency for education to make digital
devices compulsory in preschools. It plans to go further and to completely end digital learning for
children under age six, the ministry has told the Associated Press.
Although Sweden’s students score above the European average for reading ability, an
international assessment of fourth-grade reading levels, the Progress in International Reading
Literacy Study (PIRLS), highlighted a decline among Sweden’s children between 2016 and 2021.
In comparison, Singapore — which topped the rankings — improved its PIRLS reading
scores from 576 to 587 during the same period, and England’s average reading achievement score
fell only slightly, from 559 in 2016 to 558 in 2021. An overuse of screens during school lessons
may cause youngsters to fall behind in core subjects, education experts say. “There’s clear
scientific evidence that digital tools impair rather than enhance student learning,” Sweden’s
Karolinska Institute, a highly respected medical school focused on research, said in a statement in
August on the country’s national digitalization strategy in education.
“We believe the focus should return to acquiring knowledge through printed textbooks and
teacher expertise, rather than acquiring knowledge primarily from freely available digital sources
that have not been checked for accuracy.” the school added.
24. Why do Swedish schools return to paper books?
A. To cater to parents’ increasing needs.
B. To help with children’s independent learning.
C. To overcome children’s addiction to digital tools.
D. To avoid possible decline in children’s basic skills.
25. What does the underlined words “all-out embrace” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Total acceptance. B. Creative use. C. Rapid development. D. Serious addiction.
26. What might Karolinska Institute agree with?
A. Teachers should acquire more knowledge.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司B. Knowledge from digital tools may not be reliable.
C. Digital tools smooth out learning barriers for children.
D. The accessibility to digital sources should be improved.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Swedish Children’s Return to Paper B. Problems with Children’s Education
C. Popularity of Digitalization in Sweden D. Enhancement of Teaching Strategies in Sweden
C
Cut into the trunk of a pine tree, and you will see a familiar series of concentric (同
中心的) rings. But not all trunks tell the same story. A study published in November
reveals that the world’s oldest trees had a very different structure.
Some 370 million years ago, cladoxylopsid trees stood at least eight meters tall, covered by
branches instead of leaves. Today their rare remains reveal little about their insides; in most cases
their inner structures had rotted before the trees fossilize, and storms had filled them with sand.
But the recent find of two well-preserved fossils in China has exposed the trees’ inner workings
— which are like no other species studied before.
The cladoxylopsid tree was empty inside. Around the edges were thick, vertical
strands (缕) containing xylem (木质部), a plant tissue that conducts water and mineral
salts from the roots to all other parts. Modern trees add new layers of multiple xylem as
they grow, creating a woody trunk with a single set of concentric rings. But in cladoxylopsids,
“each strand of xylem had its own growth rings,” says scientist Christopher M. Berry of Cardiff
University in Wales.
Over a tree’s lifetime the strands would weave and cross. “It’s just incredibly complex,”
Berry says. He likens these networks of flexible tissues and structures to the Eiffel Tower — if
tower could grow, extend and split itself apart over time.
Although the cladoxylopsid tree has no living descendants today, it is very important. Brigitte
Meyer-Berthaud, a scientist, explains that these trees were among “the major carbon reservoirs of
the Paleozoic”, a time period from 542 million to 251 million years ago. Cladoxylopsids made up
our planet’s first forests, capturing carbon from the atmosphere and playing a part in adjusting
Earth’s climate. Given this fact, maybe we should study these trees for the forests.
28. What makes it hard to study cladoxylopsid trees?
A. Their thick leaves. B. Their amazing height.
C. Their poorly preserved remains. D. Their fossilized inner structures.
29. What do we know about cladoxylopsid trees?
A. They had many separate growth rings.
B. Their solid cores contributed to their growth.
C. They had a single set of regular concentric rings.
D. Their roots needed more mineral salts than water.
30. Why does the author mention “the Eiffel Tower” in paragraph 4?
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司A. To stress the beauty of the Eiffel Tower.
B. To prove the economic status of the tree.
C. To disclose how limited the tree’s lifetime is.
D. To show how complex the tree’s networks are.
31. Why should we study cladoxylopsid trees?
A. They were the only trees present during the Paleozoic era.
B. They helped scientists better protect rich historical culture.
C. They played a significant role in shaping the Earth as it is.
D. They determined the carbon content in the Earth’s atmosphere.
D
In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away.
Yet, the live concert lives on. People still fill sweaty basements to hear their favorite musicians
play. And now neuroscientists might know why.
Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music
together. They are also dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s
reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, from Universities of Zurich and
Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the experiment,
participants lay in an MRI (核磁共振) scanner listening to the music through earphones,
while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time
brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-
recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain that process
emotions. In the live condition pianists were instructed to change their playing in order to drive
the activity in one of these regions known as the amygdala.
The results, just published in the journal PNAS, showed that live music had far more
emotional impact. Whether the music was happy or sad, listening to the pianist playing in a
dynamic way generated more activity in both the amygdala and other parts of the brain’s emotion
processing network.
The study was far from reconstructing the real experience of a concert, and the authors noted
that the live music ended up sounding quite different from the recorded tracks, which may have
driven some of the differences in participant’s brain activity. Some musical acts now attempt to
recreate the real concert experience with everything but the artist — ABBA Voyage is a
social, immersive show performed entirely by pre-recorded hologram avatars (全息图). But
without Benny’s (a member of the band) ability to read the mood of the room, it will never
quite match the real thing.
32. What caused the scientists to study music listeners’ brain response?
A. People’s preference to recorded music. B. The important social function of
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司concerts.
C. The changeable characteristic of live music. D. The easy accessibility of streaming
services.
33. How did the researchers carry out the experiment?
A. By clarifying a concept. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing previous data. D. By referring to another study.
34. Why does live music feel better than recorded music?
A. It offers a more traditional and raw sound.
B. It engages the brain’s emotion centers more.
C. It fosters a sense of community and shared energy.
D. It guarantees a deeper understanding of the music.
35. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. The artists will be replaced by technology soon.
B. The immersive audio makes live music special.
C. The study recreated the experience of a real concert.
D. It is crucial for musicians to read the audiences’ mind.

项。
With summer fast approaching, it’s time to book your trips. 3 6 Here is something we
can do to avoid them.
Fail to disclose pre-existing medical conditions. It’s crucial that you tell your insurance
provider about any medical conditions you have. 3 7 If you fail to disclose the problems,
you won’t be covered for any issues related to the condition while you’re on holiday. If you’re not
sure if you need to mention a medical condition you have, it’s worth asking your insurance
provider.
Don’t let your insurance provider know if there are any changes to your pre-existing medical
conditions. To make sure you’re not out of pocket during your holiday, you need to inform your
insurance provider of any developments in your medical history. 3 8 If anything changes
in health, let your insurer know as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
3 9 A good rule of thumb is to organize your travel insurance at the same time you
book your holiday. Travel insurance covers you for your holiday as well as the period leading up
to it. By booking your insurance at the same time as the holiday itself, you’ll be covered if
anything changes, or you need to cancel your trip. Make sure you organize insurance well in
advance.
Get your details wrong when booking travel insurance. Make sure to check your details
carefully. You won’t be covered if you’ve given your insurer the wrong information. Double-
check everything you’ve entered before finalizing your travel insurance. 4 0

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。
Scanning the court, Luis pretended to pass the ball to another teammate but finally gave it to
Nicholas. As Luis expected, Nicholas kicked hard and... GOAL! Just then, Devon walked up
angrily. “What were you DOING there, Luis?!” he yelled. Luis rolled his eyes.
Devon started playing soccer with them weeks ago. He was nice when he felt like things in
the game had gone his way. Otherwise, he would lose temper.
“Playing soccer.” Luis shrugged. “Why didn’t you pass to me? I was closer to the goal than
Nicholas.” Devon yelled again.
As the group walked in, Devon continued. Luis ignored him to avoid arguing. Nicholas
approached and began complaining about Devon’s yelling and disrespect. “What can you do about
that?” Luis asked. Nicolas said he wanted to organize a new team without Devon. Luis was upset
to hear that. Nicholas said, “It’s more fun before he started playing with us. I’ve told the other
teammates. They agreed.”
Reaching home, Luis dragged his feet into his bedroom, which confused his mom. “What’s
wrong?” She asked. Then, Luis told what happened to her. “Have any of you tried talking to
Devon about this?” She asked. “I don’t know.” Luis scratched his head.
“Maybe a boundary could help. When playing soccer, how do you know whether someone is
at the right position on the court? What’s that line called?” Mom reminded. “A boundary.” Luis
murmured.
“Tell Devon whether he’s crossing a line with how he talks.” She suggested. Luis took the
advice and decided to have a try.
The next day at school, Luis found Devon and told him all the teammates liked playing
soccer with him but they didn’t like being yelled at by him.
“I don’t yell at people.” Devon immediately interrupted.
“You yelled at me the other day because I didn’t pass to you,” Luis reminded calmly. “And
you are yelling now. If you keep yelling at your teammate, we won’t play with you anymore.”
Devon was too embarrassed to speak. “Being yelled at isn’t fun but playing soccer is
supposed to be fun.” Luis said, patting Devon’s shoulder gently.
Later, during the training, Luis met Nicholas and told him what he’d told Devon.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
