Located about 10 km northeast of the city center, the Chengdu Panda Base is a popular place to see lots of
pandas of different ages in what’s close to their natural habitat.
Highlights and Travel Tips
The Chengdu Panda Base is a nonprofit research and breeding (繁殖) facility for giant pandas that was
originally founded in 1987 and opened to the public in 1993. The center began with a population of just six giant
pandas and has since grown to more than 100 pandas.
For visitors, it is more like a nice park than a traditional zoo. The base is large and nice to walk around, since
much of it is in a bamboo forest. There are also shops selling panda-related souvenirs, but the prices are usually
higher than markets or shops outside the base.
Accessibility Information
While the main road is flat, the base is large, so it is better for visitors with mobility issues to ride the shuttle
(往返) bus. Visitors who completely rely on wheelchairs may need help from others to guide. Most restrooms
within the base are wheelchair accessible.

It’s most people’s nightmare: surviving a plane crash only to be trapped in a jungle with no way of contacting
the outside world. But this was reality for four Colombian children, and in an incredible story, they survived.
The children, aged 13, 9 and 4, as well as an 11-month-old baby, were flying with their mother from their
village in the Amazon to visit their father in San José del Guaviare. The single-engine plane on which they were
flying experienced engine problems and disappeared on May 1, 2023. Bad weather prevented the army from
finding the crash site for two weeks. where they then found the dead bodies of three adults, including the
children’s mother.
How did these children survive conditions that would be an unimaginable struggle for most adults? They are
members of the Huitoto Indigenous group and were raised in the jungle. As such, they have a better understanding
of the rainforest. They know which fruits are safe to eat and which plants should be avoided. Working with, rather
than against, the Amazon. they survived off of juan soco (a fruit similar to passion fruit) and seeds, while feeding
the baby water mixed with yucca flour that they found on the plane.
While the children got on with the business of surviving, the Colombian army worked with Indigenous
volunteers to find them. After 40 days of searching, the children were found and taken to recover at a military
hospital in Bogota.
While many around the world have taken this survival story of resilience to be a miracle, others point out
that it is the result of an ancient knowledge of the rainforest that has been passed down through Indigenous
communities over the generations. Indigenous tribes have a close relationship to the Amazon, marked by a deep
respect for the forest that provides them with shelter and sustenance. It is their close connection to and
understanding of the rainforest that undoubtedly helped the children to survive.
4. What can we learn about the crash in the first two paragraphs?
A. The plane knocked into another one.
B. The rescue failed to arrive immediately.
C. The mother managed to survive at last.
D. The kids shared a jungle with adults.
5. Why did the kids successfully survive?
A. They kept calm in the plane crash.

C. They were familiar with the rainforest.
D. Native volunteers offered food and water.
6. What does the underlined word “resilience” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Toughness. B. Competition. C. Evolution. D. Creation.
7. What does the author suggest from the surviving story?
A. Emergency help should be improved.
B. One who is knowledgeable lives long.
C. We should sharpen children’s living skills.
D. It is worthwhile to be in harmony with nature.

In Singapore, authorities are looking at the possibility of digging deeper underground to create new space for
human activity. The demand for underground lighting is therefore expected to rise in the future. Fortunately, a
team of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) researchers has designed a “smart” device to harvest daylight
and relay it to underground spaces, trimming the need to draw on traditional energy sources for lighting.
To develop the daylight harvesting device that can sustainably handle the problem, the NTU team drew
inspiration from the magnifying (放大) glass, which can be used to focus sunlight into one point. The device sits
above ground and just like the lens of a magnifying glass, the acrylic ball acts as the solar concentrator, enabling
the sun’s rays to form a sharp focus at its opposite side. The focused sunlight is then collected into one end of a
fiber cable (电缆) and transported along it to the end that is fixed underground.
As the sun moves across the sky throughout the day, so will the position of the focused sunlight inside the
acrylic ball. To ensure that maximum sunlight is being collected and transported down the fiber cable throughout
the day, the system uses a computer chip-based mechanism to track the sun’s rays. The Global Positioning System
(GPS) coordinates of the device location are preloaded into the system, allowing it to determine the spot where
maximum sunlight should be focused at any given time. Two small motors assisted by computer chips are then
used to adjust the position of the fiber to catch and transport sunlight from the focused spot.
Assistant Professor Yoo Seongwoo, lead author of the study said, “Our innovation is made of commercially
available off-the-shelf materials, making it potentially very easy to produce at scale. We have intentionally
designed the device to be lightweight and compact, which makes it convenient for our device to be combined with
existing facilities in the urban environment.”
Moreover, the NTU researchers found the device’s luminous (发光的) efficiency far exceeds that of
commercially available LED bulbs recorded in experiments. The quality of the light output of the NTU smart
device is also comparable with current commercially available daylight harvesting systems which are far morecostly.
8. What does the underlined word in Paragraph I mean?
A. Meeting. B. Reducing. C. Emphasizing. D. Feeling.
9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The inspiration for the daylight harvesting device.
B. The right locations to fix the daylight harvesting device.
C. The working principle of the daylight harvesting device.
D. The purpose of developing the daylight harvesting device.
10. What’s the function of the computer chip-based mechanism?
A. Collecting sunlight and transporting it to the fiber cable.
B. Adjusting the position of the fiber cable automatically.
C. Determining the location of the device.
D. Searching for maximum sunlight.
11. What can we know about the daylight harvesting device?
A. It is far more efficient than other daylight harvesting devices.
B. It costs much less than other daylight harvesting devices.
C. It will gradually replace existing facilities.
D. It’s easily available on the market.
D
Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives.And they may have a point, given how
countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s
practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips(微芯片) in our watches, our
cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end?
Well, if certain people have their way, it’ ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted(植入) into our
brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction,
but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via
computers microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.
For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even
predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause
activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being
looked into for illnesses like depression.

least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals
and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert(静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their
presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them.Current technology has made
impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent
certain that it’s safe.
How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain? A surprising 60 per
cent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of
having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions
get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines(疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.
Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface(接口) implants is still far away from us.
12. What does the underlined word “shun” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Develop. B. Avoid. C. Change. D. Trust.
13. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3?
A. The possible treatment for particular diseases.
B. The process of human-computer interaction.
C. The existing application of microchip implants.
D. The future of microchips and devices alike.
14. How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality?
A. They may reject it.
B. They may expect it.
C. They may adjust to it.
D. They may feel curious about it.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Computer-brain interface: The light of the future
B. Innovation is necessary to make progress
C. Where are we in the medical technology?
D. Mind-controlled tech: Is it possible?

根据短文内容，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。
For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to rush directly to tourist sights. For me. I find
lots of joy in grocery shopping on holiday.
As a vegetarian, finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. 16 The first
thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in themorning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.
The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious
chocolate-filled cakes, the ones I would struggle to find even in the UK. 17 I was so delighted that I
could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the
smallest grocery stores.
18 Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-
Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only
in the cafeteria section. 19 That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.
Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a
country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents
for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a
party on a Friday night. 20
A. I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.
B. The challenge of finding food is interesting. too.
C. The smoked product is unique and specially packed.
D. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.
E. It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.
F. Corn pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store.
G. By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value.

I can remember the first time it happened. Class was getting out of hand. Our teacher, after quieting us six
times as she tried to keep our 21 on the task at hand, finally gave up and informed we could take a rest.
Instantly, the classroom erupted with students 22 their seats, laughing and talking.
And then there was me. I sat 23 in my chair. I finished the activity and then worked on a project,
completely content. I didn’t associate what I was doing with 24 behavior; I just had no desire to be loud
and crazy.
As parents started to arrive, our teacher . 25 the chattering children with a half-hearted smile. But
when my mother 26 ,she commented, “Your daughter is such a nice girl in class. She’s a 27 .”

As years passed, I became 29 in the art of nice. But as much as I loved praise, I was too 30
to dare be anything but nice.

she should. She’s 32 at making decisions. Nice became a shelter I 33 my real feelings.
“It’s like living a. 34 life,” I thought. I am 35 with being nice. I want to be the best of
myself, not the nicest.

You may think you couldn’t live through summer without air conditioning. But in ancient China, hand fans
were almost 36 only way to drive the heat away.
Over 2, 000 years ago, the Chinese fans came in differentshapes and 37 (vary) materials were used.
Feather fans marked the owner’s high status. Sandalwood fans could send out a sweet smell. Later, hand fans
became far more than just something 38 could cool you down. They developed into 39 (work) of
art, in which Tuanshan — round fans, and Zheshan — folded fans, were the most common. In the shape of a full
moon, round fans 40 (make) of silk. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣), with birds and flowers 41
(paint) on them. Women, 42 (especial) those in the royal palace, liked to use them. Poets in ancient China
often compared a woman’s round face 43 a round fan. Meanwhile, men liked to use folded fans to paint
and write poems on 44 (they). It was a way 45 (show) off their skills in literature, painting andcalligraphy. Today, Chinese people still use these fans, though not many people write or paint on them any more.

My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?” Thirty boys tried to think
about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. She seldom became angry,
but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I
admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn’t even
get an allowance (零花钱). “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but
some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth, “I did it.” Then I was silent. It was hard
enough saying what I had.
My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book on bird field guide. She then began
walking towards my desk. I had never seen my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with
me.
