Passage 1
（2026·福建泉州·一模）Nothing beats the smell of a good bookstore — that thick scent of ink, paper, and endless possibilities. Bookstores
have this magical, universal appeal that goes beyond the boundary of just about every culture.
Brattle Book Shop, Boston, Massachusetts
Brattle Book Shop is one of North America’s oldest and largest second-hand bookshops. The shop is hidden in
an alley in Boston, which is lined with bookshelves. As long as it’s not raining, these bookshelves are outside! The
first two floors are packed from floor to ceiling with second-hand books, while the third floor houses rare and antique
books. Here, you’ll find treasures like old maps and rare editions that seem to whisper their age-old stories.
Daunt Books, London, England
Walking into Daunt Books in London is a little like wandering into Diagon Alley from Harry Potter. And the
books it holds inside are just as magical. The shop specializes in travel literature and is designed for explorers and
world wanderers. Shelves are arranged by country, which makes it possible to go on a little geographical expedition
without ever leaving the store. The long gallery hall has a striking stained-glass window that lets in just the right
amount of light.
Cafebreria El Pendulo, Mexico City, Mexico
Cafebreria El Pendulo isn’t only a bookstore, but also houses a cafe, which spreads over two stories and serves

by two levels of bookshelves. Jungle plants sit on the shelves and hang over the books, which include everything
from quirky comics to Latin American classics.
Livraria Lello, Porto, Portugal
With its complex wood carvings, abstract staircases, and stained-glass ceilings, Livraria Lello in Porto totally
deserves its title as the most beautiful bookstore in the world. The store is designed in a Neo-Gothic style, with arched
windows and warm lighting. And if you want to linger in the space, there is a small cafe that serves coffee and even
wine for the evening visitors. Once you visit, it’s not hard to believe that this shop supposedly inspired J. K. Rowling’s

Passage 3（2026·广东高州·一模）
Discover World Heritage
Heritage is treasure from the past — what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations. To
preserve it, UNESCO safeguards hundreds of natural and cultural World Heritage sites around the world.
Here are 4 World Heritage sites:

Founded, according to legend, by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC, Rome was first the centre of the Roman
Republic, then of the Roman Empire, and it became the capital of the Christian world in the 4th century.

Founded in 3000 BC, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the
centre of a splendid craft industry, specializing in swords. The city has some 125 monuments from different periods
of its history.
Old Havana
Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had become one of the Caribbean’s main
centres for ship-building. Although it is today a modern city, its old centre remains an interesting mix of Baroque and
neoclassical (新古典主义的) monuments.

Passage 4（2026·湖南湘潭一中·一模）
Interested in animated short films? Here’s a collection of mini-reviews for some. Choose one to watch!
A Pet (8 mins)
A Pet is about a lonely young girl in need of company and attention. She dreams of having a pet and spares no
effort to make that dream come true. The animation has a wonderful childlike simplicity to it, looking like the pages of
a children’s picture book that have come to life. The jokes in it are sweet and well thought out, evoking a childlike
sense of imagination.
Place to Place (2 mins)
A text from a lonely traveler encourages a group of friends from faraway places to reunite. Place to Place is
an excellent and encouraging little animation. It is enjoyable, eye-catching and to the point. The great sound design
and background music add to the urgency and fun, making it an all-round short.
Be Free (2 mins)
Be Free is about Merry, a sad young girl who makes her heart’s desires known to the water spirit Mami Wata.
Despite the clear theme of recycling and learning to keep our environment clean, the aim of the film is more personal.
It’s a message from the director’s younger self to “be free” from fear, challenges and anxiety. He points out that
change and facing challenges come from taking action, not just thinking.
Early Birds (3 mins)
Early Birds is about a small, lonely penguin who does all he can to wake an older, sleeping penguin so he’ll
have someone to play with. The animation style is quaint (古雅的), and the story is very funny. One of the outstanding
aspects is the music and sound design. They work together and blend with the action at times, while at other times
helping this film move forward. It is a crowd-pleasing short for all ages.

Remote Getaways in the Indian Ocean
Thulusdhoo, Maldives
Palm trees move slowly from side to side in the warm air here just as they do on the private island destinations
that occupy most of the Maldives’ islands. But unlike those islands, this island still keeps its local Maldivian lifestyle.
Best of all, restaurants and activity providers are everywhere around the sandy beaches at much lower prices than
those private islands.
Budget reference: Season Paradise offers a 10-night package from $1,250 per person.
Alphonse, Seychelles
Alphonse is usually considered as an Indian Ocean Galápagos. The BBC’s Blue Planet series was shot here.
Visitors can join in conservation projects such as ocean clean-ups and turtle-tracking here. Tourism is such a recent
arrival that dive sites are still being mapped out.
Budget reference: Original Diving offers a 10-night package from $10,567 per person.
Mohéli, Comoros
Few Indian Ocean destinations are as unchanged by tourism as the island of Mohéli, for the simple reason that

Biosphere Reserve, which is home to many endangered and rare animals, is located here.
Budget reference: Responsible Travel has a 10-night package from $1,453 per person.
Havelock, India

blue sea. In the villages, tourists can try delicious fish curry at roadside eateries.

Passage 4
（2026·河北唐县·一模）
How you can protect wildlife
You should leave all wildlife undisturbed. Here are some general tips about how to behave around wildlife.
Enjoy seals and sea lions from a distance
Keep at least 20 meters away from seals and sea lions. If you are too close, they may panic and stampede (惊
逃), hurting themselves in the process. Some may become aggressive, especially if you are blocking their escape
route to the sea or near their babies. Their resting time on land is important, so try not to disturb them.
Give marine mammals space in the water
If you’re lucky enough to see one of our marine mammals (e.g. dolphins or whales), it’s important to stay back
and give them space.
Don’t share your picnic with birds
Our birds evolved without human food and aren’t used to it—it can make them sick and can even be fatal. If
some birds eat food such as nuts and seeds, they may develop metabolic (代谢的) bone disease. So don’t feed our
wildlife—even if they ask.
Leave nesting birds alone
If you come across a roped off or signposted area, it may be a nesting ground for one of our critically endangered
species, like dotterel or black gull. You need to avoid these places to protect our species. Keep your dog away as
well.
Take extra care if you have dogs with you
Birds get stressed when chased by dogs. One panicked seal can start a chain reaction in a breeding area, where
babies are at risk of being crushed by adult seals rushing to the sea for safety.
Wildlife emergenciesCall 0800362468 for conservation emergencies, including whale strandings (搁浅) and sick, injured or dead
wildlife.
10. What is the suggestion regarding marine mammals?
A. Swim with them from a distance.
B. Feed them to ensure they stay healthy.
C. Stay far away to avoid disturbing them.
D. Touching them gently without alarming them.
11. What is the result of feeding birds human food?
A. They will develop a stronger immune system.
B. They may suffer from some diseases.
C. They may become more dependent on humans.
D. They will become more friendly toward humans.
12. What action should be taken when encountering a nesting area?
A. Observe from a distance and take pictures.
B. Avoid the area to protect endangered species.
C. Leave food to attract the birds for observation.
D. Approach cautiously to avoid disturbing the birds.

In skiing, bigger is usually regarded as better. However, the smaller, lesser-known resorts can often have bigger
snowfalls, more vertical (垂直的), fewer skiers and better off-piste. Using a minimal number of ski lifts as the
definition of “small”, here are the best small ski resorts in North America.
Castle Mountain, Alberta
Lifts:7
Altitude:1,410m — 2,274m
Nestled against the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, this tiny ski hill gets the heaviest snowfall in Alberta. It
provides simple lodging and dining, but is known for its very friendly locals. For those concerned about crowded
slopes — which is highly unlikely except on holiday weekends — the resort also offers an affordable snowcat skiing
service.
Revelstoke, British Columbia
Lifts:5
Altitude:512m — 2,225m
Revelstoke is proof that the term “small” is all relative. It has only five ski lifts, but also boasts the biggest
vertical in North America at 1,713m. Along with huge amounts of off-piste, its annual average snowfall is an
impressive 10.5m.The skiing here is superbly varied, and you’ll find an attracting mix of alpine bowls and glades
with runs to suit every level of ability.
Grand Targhee, Wyoming
Lifts:5
Altitude:2,393m — 3,006m
Grand Targhee lies in the heart of Rocky Mountain scenery, with amazing scenery across the Grand Tetons. It’s
tricky to get to, but it’s worth the effort for the genuine Wild West ski experience.
Silverton, Colorado
Lifts:1
Altitude:3,170m — 4,111m
Although it has just one rickety double chair, it transports you to what is generally regarded as the highest and
steepest lift-accessed terrain in North America, at a lung-busting 4,111m.
7. Which resort has the largest vertical drop in North America?A. Castle Mountain B. Revelstoke C. Grand Targhee D. Silverton
8. What can we know about Grand Targhee from the text?
