Traveling by train can be a romantic way to see the world. Here are some fantastic train trips to add to your
travel bucket list (愿望清单).
Eurostar
Where it goes: London to/from Paris
How long it takes: Two hours and 15 minutes
Eurostar is a popular way for folks to get from London to Paris (or vice versa), thanks to its quick travel
time, but it has another draw that makes it a great bucket-list train trip. For 20 minutes, you’ll actually be riding
150 feet underwater through the famed English Channel.
Glacier Express
Where it goes: St. Moritz to Zermatt in the Swiss Alps
How long it takes: Seven and a half hours
This train ride is a favorite among many, as it’s arguably the best way to experience the Swiss Alps. It gives
new meaning to the term “slow travel”, taking over seven hours to pass just 180 miles. Be prepared to ride on 291
bridges and through 91 tunnels.
Qingzang Railway
Where it goes: Xining to Lhasa
How long it takes: 20 hours and 55 minutes
Why not start with the world’s highest train ride? The Qingzang Railway climbs to amazing heights of over
5,072meters as it snakes through the Himalayas. The 1,956-kilometer journey passes through different biomes (生
物群落区). The views of grasslands, mountain s and deserts along the way are always breathtaking.
Trans-Siberian Railway
Where it goes: Moscow to Vladivostok
How long it takes: Seven days
It’s the world’s longest continuous railway, clocking in at 5,772 miles from Moscow to Vladivostok. Along
the way, you’ll pass through eight time zones and have plenty of time to see the beautiful Russia n countryside.

When Ma Jiancheng took up his post as a forest ranger (护林员) at Sidalong nature conservation station in
1999, he knew the Qilian Mountains would be his lifelong home. Fresh from military service, he followed in his
father’s footsteps — a decision rooted in two deep influences: his love for the mountains and his father’s 30-year
dedication to protecting them.
“My father rarely came home, even for Spring Festival, because of fire prevention duties,” Ma recalled.
This sacrifice planted a seed in him: to safeguard the land his father venerated.
Life at 2,600 meters above sea level proved harsher than expected. “No electricity, just kerosene ( 煤油)
lamps. Water came from a river 800 meters away, and supplies arrived by truck only three times a month,” he said.
Once, he learned of his eldest daughter’s birth three days late — no phones connected the station to the outside.
Covering 20,000 hectares, Ma’s team patrols 20 days monthly, engaging in fire prevention, wildlife
monitoring, and educating herders on regulations. Over 26 years, his patrols totaled 100,000 km—2.5 times
around Earth—filling 70 notebooks. “Shoes wear out fastest,” he joked, noting 80-km daily treks.
Dangers are constant: wolves, landslides, -30°C winters, and summer mudslides. Once, a mudslide
destroyed their station; they sheltered in a sheep pen. Yet technology now eases burdens — drones and cameras
monitor remote areas.
Tragedy struck in 2008 when his wife died of lung cancer. He’d rushed down the mountain too late, after a
herder relayed news of her emergency. “She asked me to care for our daughter,” he said, voice trembling.
Today, his daughter studies landscape architecture, inspired by his work. “City life feels strange now,” Ma
said. “The mountains calm me —this is where I belong.”
4．What does the word “venerated” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Honored
B．Neglected
C．Exploited
D．Concealed
5．Which of the following is NOT a duty of Ma’s team?
A．Keeping records of patrols
B．Preventing grassland fires
C．Training herders to use drones
D．Monitoring wetland resources
6．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Ma’s work has eliminated wildlife dangers
B．the daughter’s career choice reflects family influence
C．modern technology has replaced traditional patrols
D．Ma’s wife supported his career unconditionally
7．The best title for the passage would be ________.
A．A Legacy of Mountain Protection
B．The Hardships of a Forest Ranger
C．Technological Advances in Conservation D．From Military Service to Mountain Life
C
Plastic pollution is hurting the planet. Even when plastics break down, tiny bits of them still end up
polluting the air, the oceans, our food — and even our blood. But a new material might help limit that.
“We’re basically running a giant experiment right now, in terms of what microplastics are doing to us,” says
Michael Burkart, a chemical biologist at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Most plastics have been
made from crude oil, a fossil fuel. Four years ago, Burkart’s team at UCSD developed a new type. They made it
from building blocks that can be produced by algae ( 藻类). Now, they’ve shown that this plastic breaks down
quickly when a particular species of bacteria dine on it.
The new plastic is a type of polyurethane ( 聚氨酯). It contains many chemical building blocks. Those
building blocks are made from ingredients produced by plants and algae. Many types of microbes (微生物) break
down plants and algae and eat those building blocks. The researchers suspected those microbes might do the same
thing to the building blocks of the new plastic.
To test that, Burkart’s team broke their new plastic into tiny particles. They did the same with a different
type of plastic made from fossil fuels. It’s known as ethyl vinyl acetate, or EVA．Then researchers mixed these
microplastics with fresh compost (堆肥) — a moist mix of decomposed ( 被分解的) plants, food waste and
microbes. After 90 days, 68 percent of the new plastic had broken down. That number climbed to 97 percent after
about seven months. In contrast, the researchers saw no EVA breakdown throughout that time.
The scientists also coated a piece of cloth in the new plastic. After being mixed with the compost for two
weeks, that cloth easily broke apart. Another piece of the coated cloth was not composted. It was still undamaged
after two weeks.
“I’m so excited for this in the textiles (纺织品) industry,” says Lisa Erdle, an ecotoxicologist (生态毒理学
家) at 5 Gyres. “Polyurethane is sometimes used to coat natural fibers, like wool and cotton, for clothing. Over
time, that plastic coating falls off, turning into smaller and smaller pieces and never going away. Having
something that can easily be broken down by bacteria is better than having persistent plastics in the environment.”
8．What can we learn about the building blocks in the new plastic?
A．They are soft and flexible.
B．They are made from fossil fuels.
C．They can be obtained from algae.
D．They can be digested by animals.
9．What is the function of the last paragraph but one?
A．To further support the experiment’s result.
B．To explain the experiment’s result in detail.
C．To show the wide application of the plastic.
D．To stress the necessity of using the new plastic in clothing.
10．What is Lisa Erdle’s attitude to the new plastic?
A．Doubtful.
B．Supportive.
C．Indifferent.
D．Concerned.
11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To call on people to reduce plastic use.
B．To raise people’s awareness of plastic pollution.
C．To introduce a new kind of environmentally-friendly plastic.
D．To show the damaging impact of the plastic on the environment.
D
There is plenty we don’t know about criminal behavior. Most crime goes unreported so it I hard to pick out
trends from the data, and even reliable sets of statistics can be difficult to compare. But here is one thing we do
know: those with a biological predisposition to violent behavior who are brought up in abusive homes are very
likely to become lifelong criminals.
Antisocial and criminal behavior tends to run in families, but no one was sure whether this was due mostly
to social-environmental factors or biological ones. It turns out both are important, but the effect is most dramatic
when they act together. This has been illustrated in several studies over the past six years which found that male
victims of child abuse are several times as likely to become criminals and abusers themselves if they were born
with a less-active version of a gene for the enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) , which breaks down
neurotransmitters crucial to the regulation of aggression.
Researchers recently made another key observation: kids with this “double whammy” of predisposition and
an unfortunate upbringing are likely to show signs of what’s to come at a very early age. The risk factors for long-
term criminality-attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, low IQ, language difficulties-can be spotted in
kindergarten. So given what we now know, shouldn't we be doing everything to protect the children most at risk?
No one is suggesting testing all boys to see which variant of the MAO-A gene they have, but what the
science is telling us is that we should redouble efforts to tackle abusive upbringing, and even simple neglect. This
will help any child, but especially those whose biology makes them vulnerable. Thankfully there is already
considerable enthusiasm in both the US and the UK for converting the latest in behavioral science into parenting
and social skills: both governments have schemes in place to improve parenting in families where children are at
risk of receiving poor care.
Some people are uncomfortable with the idea of early intervention because it implies our behavior becomes
“set” as we grow up, compromising the idea of free will. That view is understandable, but it would be negligent to
ignore what the studies are telling us. Indeed, the cost to society of failing to intervene-in terms of criminal
damage, dealing with offenders and helping victims of crime-is bound to be greater than the cost of improving
parenting. The value to the children is immeasurable.
12．It seems that researchers try to explain violent behavior ______.
A．in terms of physical environment
B．from a biological perspective
C．based on the empirical data
D．in a strictly statistical way
13．When we say that antisocial and criminal behavior tends to run in families, we mean that ______.
A．a particular gene may be passed on in families
B．child abuse will lead to domestic violence
C．the male victims of child abuse will pass on the tendency
D．the violent predisposition is closely related to child abuse
14．Based on the recent observation, what should be done to check the development of antisocial and criminal
behavior?
A．Boys should be screened for the biological predisposition.
B．High-risk kids should be brought up in kindergarten.
C．Genes for the risk factors should be accurately determined.
D．Active measures ought to be taken at an early age.
15．What does the author emphasize in defending early intervention?
A．The immeasurable value of furthering the current research.
B．The consequences of compromising democracy.
C．The relatively easy solution to improving parenting skills.
D．The greater cost of failing to tackle the known issue.

阅读下面短文，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。
Community gardens have emerged as a valuable solution for urban areas where access to fresh fruits and
vegetables is limited. They provide residents with a shared space to grow their own produce, promoting health and
community spirit. 16 Starting a community garden may seem demanding, but following these steps can
make the process manageable and rewarding.
17 Look for accessible spaces near water sources with decent soil or space for containers. Empty
lots are often ideal, as long as you secure permission from the owner. Check local laws to ensure approval and
plan for costs like renting. Having a well-located plot sets the foundation for a successful community garden.
Building a community garden requires teamwork, so involving the neighborhood is crucial. Reach out to
potential participants, organize discussion sessions, and raise funds through crowdsourcing.
18
Establishing a sense of ownership among members creates enthusiasm and ensures long-term commitment.
Plan the garden layout based on the number and size of plots. Choose crops that suit the local climate, and
meet community needs, ensuring year-round productivity. 19 Divide the space into plots, set up
composting (堆肥) areas, and enhance the site with benches (长椅) or storage to make it user-friendly and visually
appealing.
Sustaining a community garden requires effort and teamwork. Set clear rules for care tasks and promote
involvement through events like community meals. Share extra harvests with those in need to extend the garden’s
impact. Additionally, you can create a farm-to-table experience by using produce grown in the garden to make
shared meals. Regular care keeps the garden productive and attractive. 20
A．First of all, determine your budget.
B．The first step is identifying a suitable plot of land.
C．Once the planning is complete, start building the garden.
D．As a result, the garden brings lasting benefits to the community.
E．These gardens not only supply fresh food but also strengthen social bonds.
F．However, most communities focus on community gardens that grow food.
G．Moreover, define clear roles and responsibilities, such as watering, weeding, and harvesting.

“Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet,” a 58-minute documentary (纪录片) released in international media outlets,
has attracted worldwide attention. Praised as “Chinas greatest poet,” Du Fu 36 (introduce) to the
Western world in documentary form for the first time in 2020.
The documentary uses “the greatest” to describe Du Fu, not only in China, but also in the scope of world
literature, 37 (put) him alongside Dante and Shakespeare, and pointing out that there 38 (be)
no such figure in the West as Du Fu. It also explores Du Fu 39 visiting modern China, tracing his life
and retracing his steps through places like Xi’an, Chengdu, and Changsha.
The documentary also gives 40 (high) favorable recognition to the long tradition of Chinese
poetry, which is earlier than Homer’s Iliad and the Odyssey, and shows that the era when Emperor Xuanzong
ruled China in the Tang Dynasty (618—907) was the 41 (bright) era of culture and the most splendid
era. of-poetry. At that time, there was no civilization in the world that possessed such 42 （elegant）and
culture as the Chinese civilization.
From 43 Englishman’s point of view, historian Michael Wood tries to find traces of Du Fu in a
rapidly changing China, where poets have always been seen as the trusted recorders of the people’s hearts 44
the nation’s history. “And for the Chinese, Du Fu is more than a poet,” said Wood. “For 45 (generation),
he has been the protector of the moral conscience (道德良知) of the nation.”

47．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。
“What is that black smoke?” Nita asked her mother who was folding the clothes in the bedroom. “It
smells terrible!”
“Something is burning in the backyard,” her mother replied. “Go and see what is on fire!”
Nita rushed to the backyard and saw her father put a bunch of plastic bags on the fire and kept stirring
them with a stick.
“Why are you burning those plastic bags, Dad?” Nita asked.
“I have just learned that these bags will last an incredibly long time if they are buried. Plastic doesn’t
break down in the earth. Burning is the only way to remove them quickly, Nita,” her father replied.
Nita felt a wave of sadness for the earth but couldn’t help voicing her doubt. “Burning isn’t good for the
earth， either,” she complained. “And the smoke is killing us now!”
Her father let out a heavy sigh. He understood his daughter’s concern. But he could not find another way
to get rid of those used plastic bags that kept piling up in the kitchen. Throwing away the stick, he sat down on the
ground with Nita and said, “Perhaps we have to find a better solution.”
Nita was used to seeing her parents take home various things in plastic bags and she also did the same. It
was the first time for her to notice the plastic problem at home.
That afternoon, as Nita’s mother returned from the market with a lot of plastic bags, Nita felt a growing
sense of unease. “The cycle of buying and burning seems endless!” Nita thought. “I have to do something to break
the cycle!”
Later that day, Nita found herself watching her mother cut used shirts to make a mop (拖把). Suddenly,
an idea occurred to her. “Maybe I can create something useful with the leftover cloth!” she thought excitedly.
注意：1.续写词数应为150 个左右；
