China, one of the world's most populous and powerful nations, is a magnet for tourists thanks to its booming
economy, vast military, status as a manufacturing powerhouse, and cutting-edge technology. The country's iconic
attractions like Beijing's Great Wall and Forbidden City are major draws for tourists.
With its deep historical roots, stunning natural scenery, and dynamic culture, not to mention the delectable
Chinese cuisine, China continues to draw visitors from all corners of the globe. Riyan Ruparelia, a content creator
known as Bearded Travels, took to TikTok to share his travel experiences in Chongqing, one of China's major
central cities. Chongqing is celebrated for its rugged terrain and has earned the nickname 'Mountain City', nestled
near the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers.

In his TikTok video, Riyan exclaimed: "China is living in the future so here's everything that blew my mind on
my most recent three-day trip to Chongqing.
"Starting off with the hotels, the majority of which have smart rooms where you can control pretty much
everything from the click of a button, including this huge projector screen and they literally have smart toilets
everywhere."
He stayed at the ISEYA Panoramic Hotel, where room service is delivered by "an entire robot", which he was
amazed by.
The tourist was amazed by the city's "insane" engineering feats, noting that Chongqing was "built on a
mountain" and has a population of over 30 million people.
Riyan remarked: "You can be in a main square with shops and restaurants all around you and then realise
you're on the 22nd floor and if that's not enough, the engineers actually built an entire train track into a residential
building which then proceeds to wrap around a mountain, and believe it or not the train doesn't make any noise
whatsoever."
The travel content creator was also impressed by the prevalence of electric cars in China, many of which were
unknown brands that offered "super luxurious" features and "absolutely incredible performance".
Riyan continued: "And if you're in two minds you can get a bike slash car but what blew my mind most was
the skyline at night time. This city lights up and it feels like you're in some sort of sci-fi movie.
"The drone shows every Saturday are next level so if you want a taste of the future then make sure to pay
China a visit because it will really surprise you."
According to travel experts at China Discovery, tourists flock to Chongqing mainly for the Yangtze River
cruise which offers breathtaking views of the majestic Three Gorges Dam.
Besides the inspiring landscape, Chongqing is renowned for its local cuisine, most notably, the spicy hot pot.
The clip on TikTok by Riyan has racked more than up over 80 comments. One user said: "Omg I can't get my
head over this! This is crazy! I do want to visit China!"
Another user was floored by the advancement, saying: "They are so far ahead it's amazing."

Passage1 阅读理解
(2026·福建省福州市鼓楼区福州第一中学高三上学期开学)
We just got back from a week-long trip through New Mexico where we traveled through desert landscapes,
hiked up mountains, and walked through dry creek beds. We experienced nature and wildlife that was vastly
distinct from what I’ve seen before.
We’ve lived in Atlanta for 25 years so it was quite a change from our “city in a forest”. My husband and I
were joined by our adult son who now lives in San Diego and is a little more familiar with the west. We like to visit
national parks and explore interesting ecosystems.
In New Mexico, everything seemed striking and amazing. Starting in Albuquerque, we took a tram up the
Sandia Peak in the Sandia Mountains, where we had fantastic views as we watched parasailers float off into the
unending sky. We then drove to Abiquiu, the town where artist Georgia O’Keeffe was so inspired. We stayed at a
练好题精练
lovely home pretty much in the middle of nowhere. First, we noticed the breathtaking setting. Then we noticed the
ants: billions of tiny ants were marching all over the outside of the property. They were carrying off a few of the
native bees that had fallen to the ground near the house.
Once we were awakened in the middle of the night by howling that was both strange and musical. We were
told about the coyotes (郊狼) that share the area, so we weren’t surprised when we woke up the next morning to
some pretty impressive paw prints right outside the back door. On our final morning hike before heading south in
the state, we even spotted a large snake curled up on the path, enjoying the warm morning sun. We stayed far out of
its way but certainly watched our steps a little more carefully.
We talked about sustainability throughout the trip. In the past several decades, there’s been so much
noticeable change in our travel adventures. That will be great to keep the skies cleaner and save energy. And the
coyotes and snakes can be left to dance and enjoy in peace.

Passage2 阅读理解
(2026·湖北省武汉市江汉区高三上学期新起点摸底)
I decided to go to Edinburgh to visit my friend Annabelle who was studying at the University of Edinburgh.
I really didn’t know what to expect. I had heard that it was a fun place, but when I arrived I had no idea how
beautiful the city was! We went downtown to Princes Street and it was absolutely exceptional. I loved the old
cobbled streets and the castle that sits up on the hill in the middle of the city. There are a few original eighteenth-
century buildings there too. At one end of the street there are the sunken gardens, where you can relax or have a
picnic.
Honestly, I just can’t figure out how people manage to get things done, with lots of great restaurants and little
hang-outs right near the university. One place I really loved was this downstairs restaurant called Central. It’s a
really modern style place with massive brown leather couches where you can just relax and catch up with friends
and study.
One of the highlights of my trip was getting to see a rugby match at the Murrayfield Stadium, I watched
Scotland upset South Africa! Scotland was the underdog, but somehow they managed to win in their home town. It
was a bit cold at the stadium, but there were tons of excitement and energy and it was enough to keep us warm.
Drinking and the pub life is a huge part of the culture in Edinburgh. They have great pubs, where you can
have a beer, coffee or food. Some of my favourites were the Bow Bar, which is all made of wood and won a prize
as the best Drinker’s Pub in Britain a few years ago, and Greyfriars Bobby, which has lots of students and is great
for meeting people. I didn’t get to try the mutton, but I thought I would save it for next time
5.What surprised me when I first arrived in Edinburgh?
A.Its wide-spread reputation.
B.Its time-honored history.
C.Its depressed atmosphere.
D.Its beautiful cityscape.
6.Which is the author’s favorite restaurant?
A.The Murrayfield Stadium.
B.Greyfriars Bobby.
C.The Bow Bar
D.Central.
7.What does the underlined word “underdog” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Dark horse.
B.Outsider.
C.Favorite.
D.Black sheep.
8.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Annabelle and I.
B.My Unforgettable Life.
C.My First Trip to Edinburgh.
D.Cultural Exploration of Edinburgh.

Passage 3 阅读七选五
(2026·江苏省部分学校高三上学期8 月联考)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When you hear the word “snowbird”, you likely think “retiree”. For years, before remote work became more
widespread, the only people who could relocate for the winter were those no longer tied to an in-person office —
usually the over-65s who had already left their jobs.
1
. They are trading their cold, often depressing
winters for sunshine, better mental health, and enhanced wellness by booking extended stays in warmer places.
This shift in travel habits has led to the rise of a new trend: glowbirding.
2
. Those who practice glowbirding are not just looking to escape the cold; they are also seeking
ways to improve their mental health during the darkest days of the year. Rather than just spending time in sunny
destinations, glowbirds often engage in physical activities that boost their emotional well-being. “What we’re
seeing now is an increase in interest amongst younger travelers who are also tired of the cold, ” says Connor Smith,
vice president of masterbrand strategy and awareness of IHG Hotels and Resorts. “
3
; it’s also a way to
manage seasonal affective disorder (SAD) . ”
SAD is a type of depression that typically occurs during the fall and winter months, especially in regions
where the days are shorter and colder.
4
. The idea is to spend the 4-5 months when SAD is the strongest in
places where the weather is warmer and sunnier, helping to maintain emotional stability.
If the early sunsets and colder weather are starting to make you moody, glowbirding may be the perfect
solution. 5 ?
A.But how do you follow the trend
B.First of all, glowbirding attracts young travelers a lot
C.This traveling isn’t just about finding warmer weather
D.However, today, more young travelers are following this trend
E.Glowbirding, similar to traditional snowbirding, adds a wellness focus
F.For those affected, glowbirding offers a way to escape the emotional lows of winter
G.Rather than suffering the winter blues, why not join younger travelers seeking the sun

Southwest China’s Yunnan province is a popular destination known for its temperate weather, natural
scenery and folk customs. Dali and Lijiang remain top travel choices for both domestic and international tourists.
Cangshan Mountain, rising above Dali,
1
(feature) hiking trails winding through rhododendron

unique Dongba culture and traditions are well-preserved.
Looking north from the Lijiang Old Town 15 kilometers away, the snow-covered mountain resembles a jade

stretches a length of 35 km, 20 km wide, covered by snow all year round.
What fascinates travelers most is

local communities maintain ancient traditions. In Shaxi Village
midway between Dali and Lijiang, Friday markets still operate exactly
9
they did on the Tea Horse Road
800 years ago. Farmers trade Tibetan herbs, Yunnan coffee, and hand-woven fabrics while elderly musicians play
the almost

truly magical.
