In 1998, British adventurer Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a goal: walk all the way home
to Hull, England — without using a single form of transport, which was audacious. What he didn’t know then
was that the journey he thought would take eight years would stretch into a remarkable 27-year trek (跋涉) across
continents, oceans and history. Now, after walking 36,000 miles, surviving the attack of polar bears, swimming
across seas, and navigating countless visa setbacks, the 56-year-old adventurer is finally on the home stretch.
Bushby began his adventure in Punta Arenas, Chile, trekking north through South and North America,
eventually reaching Alaska. In 2006, he attempted one of the most dangerous legs of the journey: crossing the
frozen Bering Strait into Siberia. Armed with a gun to scare off polar bears and forced to leap between moving
blocks of ice, he achieved what few people on Earth have ever done.
His challenges didn’t stop there. Last year, when he couldn’t safely travel through a European country, he
took on a new challenge — swimming across the Caspian Sea. With a support team and co-swimmer Angela
Maxwell, Bushby spent 31 days completing the 179-mile crossing, swimming a total of 132 hours.
After reaching Azerbaijan, he continued through Turkey, and now stands less than 2,000 miles from home.
He hopes to recenter Europe this summer and walk into Hull by September 2026. Returning home after nearly
three decades, he admits, will feel unrealistic. He left when he was 29. He will return at 58. He says reuniting with
family will mean “getting to know each other again”.
Bushby walks an average of 30km a day and rests wherever he can find shelter. His mission, called the
Goliath Expedition, has outlasted five UK prime ministers, a global health incident, and numerous wars — but his
spirit remains as strong as it was in 1998. And the world is cheering him on as he enters the final chapter of one of
the most extraordinary human endurance journeys ever attempted.
24．What does the underlined word “audacious” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Common.
B．Meaningless.
C．Ambitious.
D．Practical.
25．Why did Bushby swim across the Caspian Sea?
A．To set a new world record.
B．To avoid the potential risk.
C．To shorten the distance.
D．To test his physical limits.
26．What does Bushby mean by saying “getting to know each other again”?
A．It is awkward to see his family.
B．It is too long since he left home.
C．He feels regretful for traveling.
D．He wants to accompany his family more.
27．What does the Goliath Expedition symbolize?
A．The power of spirit.
B．The need for recognition.
C．The meaning of exploration.
D．The importance of adaptation.

Researchers at the University of Houston have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in science, showing
that boron arsenide (BAs) (砷化硼) can outperform diamond in thermal conductivity (热导率).
Through developing exceptionally pure BAs crystals (晶体), the team measured thermal conductivity more
than 2,100 W/mK at room temperature. This result not only exceeds previous experimental data but also breaks
the theoretical ceiling of approximately 1,360 W/mK. The study challenges existing theoretical models of heat
transport in solids. Professor Zhifeng Ren, the corresponding author, stated: “We trust our measurement; our data
is correct and that means the theory needs correction.”
The discovery of the superior thermal conductivity of BAs was the result of dedicated investigation. In
2013, Boston College physicists predicted that BAs could conduct heat as efficiently as diamond. However,
revised models in 2017 with a complex factor dramatically reduced predicted performance to around 1,360
W/mK. This caused many in the field to abandon the idea that BAs could exceed diamond’s conductivity. Ren’s
group, however, suspected the problem wasn’t a lack of a fundamental property of the material, but the presence
of impurities within it. By processing raw materials and developing improved production methods, the UH-led
team created BAs crystals with significantly fewer imperfections. When tested, these high-purity samples showed
a record-breaking thermal conductivity above 2,100 W/mK.
The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond laboratory measurements. BAs has the potential to
revolutionize electronics and semiconductor technology. Compared to diamond, it offers easier, more cost-
effective manufacturing without the need for extreme temperature or pressure. Its high carrier mobility suggests
potentially superior electronic advantages over silicon.
This collaborative research opens new possibilities for advanced thermal management in next-generation
electronics, from smartphones to high-power applications and data centers. Although this discovery marks a new
frontier, the work is ongoing. Professor Ren encourages the scientific community to reconsider existing models,
noting: “You shouldn’t let a theory prevent you from discovering something even bigger, and this exactly
happened in this work.”
28．What led Professor Ren to say that “the theory needs correction”?
A．The initial models.
B．The confirmed results.
C．The revised predictions.
D．The common explanations.
29．What is the key to achieving remarkable thermal conductivity in BAs?
A．Exceptional purity.
B．Solid structure.
C．Constant temperature.
D．Extreme pressure.
30．How does the author point out the advantages of BAs in paragraph 4?
A．By defining a concept.
B．By giving examples.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By providing statistics.
31．What can be inferred about the future of BAs?
A．Its property will remain questionable.
B．Its cost will become the main concern.
C．Its advantages may ensure quick acceptance.
D．Its potential may grow with further research.

There was nearly a world without horses. At the end of the last ice age, warming temperatures turned the
grasslands where horses roamed into swamps (沼泽地) and forests. Humans hunted them heavily for meat. Wild
horses did, in fact, go extinct in North America around 7,600-12,000 years ago. You could say that by stopping
hunting and starting to domesticate (驯养) them, humans saved horses.
Humans were forever changed by their horse partnership. Able to gallop at more than 64 kph and to convey heavy
objects, horses altered the course of empires and determined victors and losers in battle. They also transformed the
way people could hunt, communicate, trade and even dress. Trousers spread only after horses were domesticated,
as an innovation for riding. The oldest surviving pairs, dating to 1300 BC, belonged to horsemen. A number
of new books have come out looking at the horse’s impact on human history. David Chaffetz, a scholar of Asian
history, focuses his deeply researched, elegantly written Raiders, Rulers and Traders on the interplay, a defining
aspect of Chinese, Indian and Persian civilizations, between horse-borne nomads (游牧民族) and settled people.
He argues, “What we now call the Silk Road should more accurately be called the Horse Road, for it was the
horse, and not silk, that drew buyers and sellers together to form the first large-scale international trading routes.”
Superior horses and horsemanship continued to determine sweeping population movements. Mastery of
mounts brought the Huns into Europe, the Arabs into Spain and the Turks into India and Anatolia. Horses also
spread the vast Mongol armies under Genghis Khan across nearly the whole of the Eurasian land mass.
A look at the “biotechnology” of the horse explains its usefulness. In terms of power, a horse packs more
than ten times that of a human. People still use “horsepower” as a way to quantify power. It is only in the past 100
years, since the invention and spread of automobiles, that horses have become less essential to human civilization
and people’s daily lives. However, as these books make clear, it would be unwise to set horses aside in people’s
memories. They deserve enduring respect, for their presence changed the world.
32．What caused the extinction of wild horses in North America?
A．Habitat loss and failure to adapt.
B．Urban expansion and domestication.
C．Overpopulation and natural enemies.
D．Environmental changes and overhunting.
33．Which of the following will David agree with according to his book?
A．Horses were mainly raised and used by settled people.
B．Nomadic people benefited greatly from horse-related trade.
C．Horses were more crucial than silk in trade along ancient routes.
D．Horses were mainly used by settled people for long-distance trade.
34．What is the author’s attitude to the historical role of horses?
A．Critical.
B．Admiring.
C．Dismissive.
D．Neutral.
35．Which can serve as the best title of the text?
A．Humans’ Impact on the Horse and Its Civilization Role
B．The Horse: A Forgotten Animal in Human History
C．The Horse: Shaping the Course of Human Civilization
D．The Biological Advantages of Domesticated Horses

In recent years, more people have begun to prioritize their emotional well-being over constant availability.
The phrase “protect your peace” has become a guiding principle for those who feel exhausted by endless
demands, unspoken duties, and relationships that take more than they give. 36 It is a response to
burnout.
People begin to withdraw not because they do not care, but because they have spent too long caring without
limits. 37 Some conversations are difficult but necessary. The challenge lies in knowing when silence
preserves your well-being and when it quietly costs you your sense of self.
Boundaries are often misunderstood as rules imposed (强加) on others. 38 They reflect who you
believe you are and what you believe you are allowed to need. Many people struggle with boundaries not because
they lack communication skills, but because they have internalized the belief that their worth is tied to how much
they give.
39 Healthy, loving relationships thrive on clarity and care. Silence can create distance, while
thoughtful communication can strengthen trust. Explaining a boundary does not weaken it. When done with
honesty and kindness, it helps others understand that your limits are not rejection, but preservation.
Boundaries are not demands. They are signals. They show others what we value and what we will protect.
Over time, this clarity reshapes relationships, making room for mutual respect. Protecting your peace is not a
single decision but an ongoing practice. It requires reflection, communication, and the willingness to redefine
strength. In choosing yourself with honesty and care, you do not lose connection. 40
A．This shift isn’t about selfishness.
B．Instead, you create healthier ones.
C．As a matter of fact, they are rooted in identity.
D．Healthy relationships often require regular apology.
E．Protecting your peace doesn’t remove the need for explanation.
F．Yet protecting your peace doesn’t mean avoiding all discomfort.
G．It means refusing to lose yourself in the process of deep reflection.

Being an ambivert (中向性格者), I live in a constant push-and-pull between social enjoyment and the need
for solitude (独处). Starting conversations feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces. My mind becomes a
crowded stage where doubts 41 : “Am I talking too much? Or too little?” This inner noise often left me
trapped on the shores of small talk, 42 admiring those who socialize with ease.
Then, I set a simple yet brave goal: to offer one 43 praise to a stranger each day. Praising
someone is a great icebreaker when you don’t know what else to say, which 44 lifts my spirits. If I
noticed someone wearing something great, I’d say it was cute and ask for details. Whether to a cashier or a passer-
by, I practiced turning silent 45 into spoken warmth. To my surprise, these little words acted as keys —
46 not just smiles, but moments of true 47 . I realized I had been 48 alone behind walls I
built myself.
Over time, this practice 49 into something deeper. Like sunlight 50 through clouds, a
kind word can 51 a whole day — both for the giver and the receiver. I remembered messages from
readers across the world, years after my book was published, telling me how my words 52 them. It
taught me that even the smallest act of kindness can have such a strong 53 far beyond what we can see.
Stepping out of my comfort zone didn’t just build 54 — it planted gardens in unexpected places.
Sometimes, the 55 connection can be the one that lights your path forward.

According to a report published on Monday, the coral reef ecosystem of China’s Huangyan Island is
healthy. The recent 56 (establish) of a national nature reserve is expected to enhance its diversity,
stability and sustainability through strict protection 57 ecological restoration efforts.
58 report released by the South China Sea Ecological Center of the Ministry of Natural
Resources, along with other relevant bodies, 59 (show) that the coral reef ecosystem of Huangyan
Island has remained healthy. Since 2015, the cover of reef-building corals has been 60 (general) stable,
and these corals are abundant.
The report added that a total 61 135 species of reef-building corals, belonging to 36 genera and
13 families, have been recorded, and all of them 62 (list) as national second-class protected wildlife in
China.
63 (speak) at a news conference on Monday in Beijing, Lei Bo, director of the ministry’s South
China Sea bureau, said that the hard coral coverage on Huangyan Island varies by region, due to 64
(difference) in topography (地形) and hydrodynamic (水力的) conditions.
He noted that the northeastern part of the island, 65 the Huangyan Island National Nature
Reserve was established in September, has the highest coverage, averaging 38.8 percent. This figure is higher than
the coral coverage in most major coral reef regions worldwide.

67．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。
Jeremy likes to help his family with chores (家务). He spends time playing with his baby sister while Mom
cooks dinner. After supper, he dries the dishes for Dad. But Jeremy’s favorite job is feeding Fletch.
Fletch is the family cat. He is brown and black, with tiger stripes across his back. Fletch lets Jeremy know
he’s hungry by bumping his head on Jeremy’s legs.
One night after supper, Mom asked Jeremy to find Baby Suzy’s doll. “I think she dropped it in the back
yard this afternoon. She won’t be able to sleep without it. Can you take a look before it gets dark?”
Jeremy opened the kitchen door and ran outside. The bright red doll was easy to find in the grass. Jeremy
grabbed it and ran inside.
Later that night, Jeremy was ready for bed. He always said goodnight to Fletch before turning out the light,
but Fletch wasn’t in his room. Jeremy looked in the bathroom and hallway. Then he went downstairs.
Jeremy looked in the living room and dining room, but Fletch was not there.
With almost every corner of the house searched, Jeremy could barely see Fletch’s figure, a wave of anxiety
sweeping over Jeremy. When he got to the kitchen with butterflies in his stomach, Jeremy began to cry.
Mom looked up from her tea. “Jeremy, you should be in bed! What’s wrong?”
Jeremy gasped (喘息) for breath. “The back door is open!” he cried. “And I can’t find Fletch anywhere!”
Mom frowned. “I think you’re right to be worried,” she said slowly. “Fletch may have slipped out the
door.”
Mom hugged Jeremy tight. They sat together until Jeremy stopped crying. “Cats are very smart,” she said.
“Fletch will probably come home for breakfast.”
