Which book you should read based on your next travel destination
Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan.
Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip.
Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America.
A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendi a family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America.
Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York.
Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons.
As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”.
Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot.
21. If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up
A. The Fault in Our Stars. B. One Hundred Years of Solitude.
C. 1Q84. D. The Great Gatsby.

For years, illegal hunters hunted lions without mercy along the border between Chad and Cameroon in north-central Africa. They killed so many of the animals that wildlife conservationists consider lions to be extinct in the region. But over the last decade, the governments of both nations have been working together to protect the area’s vast grassland and the many animals living there.
Now, their efforts seem to be paying off. For the first time in 20 years, a lion has been spotted inside Chad’s Sena Oura National Park, located near the border with Cameroon. In February a remote camera shot a photograph of a beautiful grown-up female lion that was clearly in great health, the nonprofit Wildlife Conservation Society and the government of Chad revealed in a joint statement last week. In the image, which appears to have been taken at night, the big cat lay comfortably on the ground with her left paw (爪子) extended and her right paw bent toward her body.
They suspect this female crossed the border into Chad from Bouba N’dida National Park in Cameroon, where overall lion numbers are on the rise. The two parks are near to one another, so it makes sense that lions would be returning to parts of their former range, including Sena Oura,according to the statement.
Though this female is the only lion in the photograph, she’s likely not alone. “This is hugely encouraging, because grown-up females are the foundation of any lion population, and they are not big wanderers. They inhabit areas that have prey (猎物) and are safe to raise their babies in,” says director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s big cat program, to BBC News.
The new photo has given wildlife officials a renewed sense of optimism about the future of lions in West and Central Africa, where their numbers have dropped by roughly 66 percent since the early 1990s. Lions that inhabit this region are genetically (基因方面地) different from other groups, so their reappearance is especially valuable, according to the statement.
24. What was the situation like along the border between Chad and Cameroon
A. No one illegally hunted wild animals there.
B. Lions there were once thought to be extinct.
C. No conservation methods were taken to stop killing animals.
D. The two governments failed to reach an agreement on wildlife protection.
25. What can be learned about the lion caught by the camera
A. It was a healthy female one. B. It was sensitive to the surroundings.
C. It was spotted on the Cameroon side. D. It had been in the national park for 20 years.
26. What might the future of lions there be like according to the last paragraph
A. Terrible. B. Promising. C. Ambiguous. D. Debatable.
27. Why is the reappearance of lions in West and Central Africa valuable
A. Their population is large. B. They are unlikely to wander away.
C. They are a genetically unique group. D. Their hunting skills are incomparable.
C
From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — can avoid the stop-and-go traffic. On a driveway with 15 vehicles per mile, one driver tapping their brakes can cause a persistent traffic jam. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up.
Previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even at high densities (密度). So what’s their secret In a recent study published in Transportation Research, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of 3 to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another and they don’t speed up to pass others.
Human drivers at rush hour hardly tend to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals. That is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says study co-author Nicola Pugno, who studies solid mechanics at the University of Trento. In his vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would avoid traffic jams by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road.
Like ants on a trail, which use scent (气味) to control behavior while interacting with one another, the autonomous vehicle network would help cars keep constant speeds while collecting and sharing information. “There is no leader,” but this organization emerges anyway, says Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral scientist at the University of California. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be very strong and changeable.
Still, ants can do a lot of things that cars — even self-driving ones — can’t, the researcher points out. Ants can make trails as wide as they like, unlike drivers stuck on highways. Plus, unlike cars, ants don’t crash; they can literally walk over one another. Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam: by leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them,drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise give rise to a traffic jam with no obvious cause.
28. Which is the contributing factor to ants’ stable traffic at high densities
A. Slow speed. B. Varied trails. C. Sufficient space. D. Strict rules.
29. Which of the following is in line with Nicola Pugno’s opinion
A. Prioritizing interests can lead to inefficient traffic flow.
B. Human drivers usually break the traffic rules at rush hour.
C. Human drivers will drive more slowly than autonomous vehicles.
D. Autonomous vehicles may be programmed to improve traffic situation.
30. What can we learn about autonomous vehicle network
A. It can keep vehicle speed under control.
B. It can provide drivers with changeable routes.
C. It can form a solid and flexible traffic system.
D. It can use scent to communicate with vehicles.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. What ants will do when they face traffic jams.
B. How ants may save you from future traffic jams.
C. What we can benefit from autonomous vehicles.
D. Why we should keep good distances while driving.
D
While saying “no” can be liberating to some, for others it can be uncomfortable. Sometimes, society teaches us the word “no” is impolite. We feel more obligated (有义务的) to get along with things we honestly do not want to do in order to be socially accepted.
Yet, there are clear benefits to the word “no”. One of the first steps is to find a way to say “no” that feels natural and authentic for you. Perhaps you may find the “sandwich method” helpful. It is an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something positive followed by the “no” and end with something positive.
It’s also important to keep in mind that saying “no” to something but giving other options that better fit your needs can also be an effective way to use the power of “no”. Remember that your needs are important and your decisions can directly affect your time and energy.
We all have various roles in our work, parenting, social obligations, and family dynamics. These roles can challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is crucial to your health and well-being. Boundaries can be flexible when appropriate. Take time to reassess your boundaries, taking into account the pros and cons. And remember: Boundaries do not have to be permanent.
Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower. Withdrawal, loss of interest in activities, or having feelings of worthlessness can be more than indicative of saying “no”. If you find yourself saying “no” in a way that leads to isolation, then it might be time to see a mental health professional.
Overall, there isn’t a “right” way to say “no”. You will never be able to please everyone. Remember to let your inner confidence shine in your ability to say “no”.
32. What does society think of saying “no”
A. Understandable. B. Necessary. C. Inconsiderate. D. Indifferent.
33. How does the “sandwich method” work
A. By avoiding anything negative.
B. By being supportive before and after rejection.
C. By looking on the positive side.
D. By setting permanent boundaries in daily life.
34. What does the author suggest people do regarding saying “no”
A. Stick to one’s decisions. B. Express oneself flexibly.
C. Prioritize others’ needs. D. Mind its negative effects.
35. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of a Gentle Refusal B. How to Take Care of Oneself
C. The Journey of Self-discovery D. How to Satisfy Others’ Needs

In a world of constant consumption and information overload, the appeal of minimalism has never been stronger. 36 This guide will walk you through several practical steps to accept a minimalist lifestyle, helping you declutter your space, simplify your life, and focus on what truly matters.
At its core, minimalism is about intentionality. 37 Such as, less stuff, less stress, and fewer interruptions. But it’s not about going without. Instead, minimalism is about making room for more — more freedom, more time, more available money, more mental space, more peace, and more meaningful experiences.
Here are some practical tips and steps for you to become a minimalist and pursue your own simple life.
Understand Your “Why” for Pursuing a Minimalist Life
Before you start making any significant changes, it’s good to understand why you’re drawn to a minimalist lifestyle. Your motivations will guide your journey and help you stay committed when challenges arise, so start with determining why you want to pursue this lifestyle. 38 Be specific and honest with yourself.
The Art of Decluttering
Now comes the challenging part: decluttering. The goal isn’t to desert everything, but to keep only what truly adds value. Find a method that works for you, starting with a small area like a drawer or closet. 39
Adopt Quality Over Quantity
Minimalism isn’t about having nothing — it’s about having the right things. Invest in high-quality, adaptable items that serve multiple purposes and can stand the test of time. Before your next purchase, ask yourself: Is this item high-quality Will it serve multiple purposes Will it last a long time 40 You’ll often find at the end of your 30 days, you simply don’t want that item anymore because the urge has passed.
A. Will it make my life more complicated
B. It’s a lifestyle that encourages living with less.
C. Minimalism encourages an organized, busy life.
D. As you gain confidence, move on to larger spaces.
E. Employ a 30-day waiting period before making purchases.
F. Write down your reasons for wanting to accept minimalism.
G. But what is minimalism, and how can you apply it to your life

阅读下列材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两端，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the heart of Boston, stood a high school named Milton Academy. It was a place where dreams took flight and friendships blossomed, but more importantly, it was where a student’s optimism sparked a transformation throughout the entire school community.
Emily Parker was a freshman at Milton Academy, known for her bright smile and optimism. Her hair, a cascade of auburn curls, always seemed to bounce with an infectious energy. Emily’s classmates often admired her ability to see the bright side of every situation, even when faced with adversity (逆境).
One autumn morning, the school announced a surprise project: a school-wide talent show, to be held in just two weeks. The news spread like wildfire, lighting a mix of excitement and fear among the students. Many were eager to showcase their talents, while others, like Mark Thompson,a shy and introverted boy, felt a wave of anxiety rising in their stomachs.
Mark’s artistic talent was widely recognized, yet his shyness prevented him from displaying his works to the public. He often spent his lunch breaks sketching (素描) in the art room, far away from the noisy cafeteria and the stares of his peers. Emily, always on the lookout for opportunities to spread joy, noticed Mark’s loneliness and decided to approach him.
“Hey, Mark, I heard about the talent show,” Emily said, her eyes twinkling with excitement.“You should definitely participate! Your drawings are amazing, and everyone would love to see them.”
Mark shook his head, his cheeks turning a shade of crimson (猩红色). “I don’t think so. Emily, I’m too nervous. What if no one likes them ”

第四部分 写作
第一节
Dear Jasper,
I hope this email finds you well. I understand you’re upset about being criticized, but let’s talk about online learning tools. They are created to help us learn, not to replace our effort. For instance, Homework Help offers step-by-step explanations and live classes where teachers guide us through difficult topics. If you use it wisely, it can become a good assistant.
My advice is to treat it as a helper, not a shortcut. Try solving problems on your own first, and only use the app to review your steps or get tips. This way, you’ll learn how to think, not just copy. Remember, progress comes from practice! I’m sure you can overcome this if you stay patient and work hard. Keep going!
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
Dear Jasper,
I hope this email finds you well. I think online learning tools like Homework Help can be good if we use them correctly. They help us understand difficult questions, but copying answers stops us from learning.
I suggest that you should try your best to do homework alone first. If you really need help, read the explanations which are offered by Homework Help carefully. Then ask teachers or friends when you don’t understand.
Don’t feel too sad. Everyone makes mistakes. Learn from this and you will do better next time!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
所给文章主要内容：在波士顿的米尔顿学院，乐观开朗的新生Emily发现内向的艺术天才Mark因害羞不愿参加全校才艺秀。尽管Mark担心作品不被认可而拒绝，Emily仍决定鼓励他突破自我。
写作思路：
第一段：Emily通过分享自身克服紧张的经历（如首次演讲），结合Mark画作中传递的温暖细节（如速写本里同学的笑脸），说服他将艺术视为连接他人的桥梁，而非展示压力。Mark最终被打动，同意尝试。
第二段：Mark登台时虽紧张，但看到Emily和同学们的鼓励手势后逐渐平静。他展示的系列素描（校园生活场景）引发共鸣，台下掌声雷动。活动后，Mark不仅收获自信，还收到合作创作校报插画的邀请，校园里也涌现更多人勇敢展示自我。
续写段落：
But Emily continued to encourage him. “I used to stutter when speaking in public,” she said, sitting beside him in the art room. “Last year, I forced myself to join the speech contest, and though my voice shook, everyone cheered, because they saw me, not just mistakes.” She looked through his sketchbook, pausing at a drawing of a stray cat he’d sketched by the library. “Your art tells stories, Mark. The way you drew Mr. Jenkins laughing while watering flowers That’s the joy everyone needs to see.” Mark bit his lip, then slowly nodded. “Okay... I’ll try.”
His hands trembled as he walked to the front of the stage, holding his best drawings. The spotlight felt hot, but when he looked down, Emily’s thumbs-up from the first row made him smile. One by one, he displayed his sketches: the cafeteria cook tossing pizza dough, a group of students studying under the oak tree, even the janitor dancing while mopping. Gasps turned to laughter, then applause. “These... these are us,” someone whispered. Afterward, classmates crowded around, asking about his process. “You made ordinary moments feel special,” a girl said. Mark’s face turned red, but this time, it was with pride. Maybe, he thought, sharing his world wasn’t so scary after all.
