A New Way to Travel to the Canary Islands
This winter, a rail tour company called Byway has introduced a new flight-free package from London to Lanzarote, an island of the Canary Islands in Spain. The journey is a creative combination of train and ferry (轮渡) travel, offering a slower but more environmentally friendly alternative to flying.
The journey can be done in 4-5 days but Byway recommends as an 18-day tour. The trip will involve the Eurostar to Paris then changing trains and riding the rails, before crossing into Spain and via Madrid, down to the coastal city of Cádiz. From there, an overnight ferry takes them to Lanzarote. Byway estimates this trip produces 78% less carbon emissions than a similar trip by plane.
Once in Lanzarote, the package includes a six-night stay in the capital, Arrecife. The city is a perfect base for travelers to explore the island’s unique attractions.
·Hike in a Volcanic Park: Timanfaya National Park features a dramatic landscape formed by volcanic eruptions.
·Visit an Artist’s Legacy: See the work of local artist César Manrique. His influence on the island’s architecture can be seen at sites like Jameos del Agua, a cultural center built inside a lava tunnel.
·Taste Local Wine: The island’s volcanic soil gives its wine a unique flavor. Visitors can tour vineyards and enjoy tastings with local cheese.
·Explore an Underwater Museum: Museo Atlántico is Europe’s first underwater museum. Its statues, placed deep in the ocean, are designed to encourage coral growth and marine life. Guided dives are available for all skill levels.
The trip is customizable, but the core idea is to enjoy a relaxed pace of travel. Prices for the 18-day tour start from £2,915 per person.
21. What is special about Byway’s new travel package to Lanzarote?
A. It offers the cheapest way to the islands.
B. It uses trains and ferry to cut carbon.
C. It requires an 18-day stay in Lanzarote.
D. It focuses on the ancient architecture.
22. What can we learn about the activities in Lanzarote?
A. Divers of all abilities can join the dive.
B. Timanfaya has whitewashed buildings.
C. Wine tastes ordinary due to rain there.
D. Manrique’s home is a cultural center.
23. What can be inferred about Byway’s target customers?
A. Budget travelers seeking cheapest flights.
B. Business people needing fast transport.
C. Adventure lovers wanting extreme sports.
D. Eco-conscious travelers with flexible time.
B
It’s certainly an eye-catching shop window, full of interesting objects—an old sewing machine stands placed over a sheet of leather, with an oil lamp on one side, ancient shoe models on the other. I step into the Tannery, then lock the door behind me. I’m not here to shop, but to sleep in the appealing apartment inside. It’s tastefully decorated, and better than many hotel rooms—yet only €75 a night.
The Tannery is one of a half a dozen former shops given new life through BedinShop, a systematic project aiming at regenerating the medieval town center of Romans-sur-Isère. This town of 33,000 inhabitants was once the capital of French luxury shoemaking. But when production moved abroad and out-of-town supermarkets attracted customers away, much of Romans-sur-Isère literally shut up shop.
François-Xavier Chambost, the project’s founder, recalls walking along streets that had been busy when he was a child. “I saw young people fighting, piles of old wooden pallets (运货板), and empty shops,” he says. “I wondered if the youths could be taught to make furniture from the pallets that we could then use in shops changed to overnight accommodation.”
A walnut trader at the time, he got the help from the town hall and social workers, gained business knowhow from French organization Villages Vivants, and convinced landlords to invest in return for guaranteed rent. His first project, the Bouquiniste, opened in 2019 in a shop vacant (空置的) for 15 years; the sixth opens soon.
All are beautifully decorated, thanks to François-Xavier’s wife Cynthia, a designer. Using upcycled charity shop finds and donations, she integrated original features like exposed stone and vaulted (拱形的) ceilings. In Le Tailleur, an old Singer sewing machine becomes furniture; in the Bouquiniste, lamps hide inside books.
As I pull down the blinds behind the double shop window for the last time, I can’t believe how quiet and private this town-centre house feels.
24. What was the purpose of the BedinShop project?
A. To preserve the town’s shoemaking heritage.
B. To bring new life to the old town centre.
C. To build more modern hotels.
D. To offer free furniture to the young.
25. Why did the town of Romans-sur-Isère become depressed?
A. Industrial transfer occurred here.
B. Traditional shoemaking skills were lost.
C. Shops were worn and poorly maintained.
D. Young people refused to work in shoemaking.
26. What can be learned about François-Xavier Chambost?
A. He used to work as a designer.
B. He never left his hometown.
C. He opened all six shops at once.
D. He received some local support.
27. Which of the following best describes Cynthia’s design?
A. Modern and luxurious.
B. Traditional and official.
C. Creative and environment-friendly.
D. Original and time-consuming.
C
For centuries, the construction methods of Egypt’s great pyramids remained a puzzle. Some even suggested the involvement of extraterrestrial (外星球的) beings. However, archaeological discoveries have provided solid answers. In 2013, French archaeologist Pierre Tallet discovered well-preserved papyrus scrolls (纸草卷) at Wadi al-Jarf, an ancient port on the Red Sea coast. These scrolls, dating back over 4,500 years, are the oldest known papyri in Egypt.
Known as the “Diary of Merer,” the documents were written by a middle-ranking official named Merer. They record his daily work transporting limestone blocks from Tura quarries to the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Merer’s team sailed boats loaded with white limestone across the Nile to Giza, where the stone was used for the pyramid’s outer casing. The scrolls detail food supplies, working schedules, and even the names of team members, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary pyramid workers.
The findings debunk the myth that pyramids were built by slaves. Instead, they were constructed by tens of thousands of skilled, paid workers who lived in nearby camps. The papyrus also shows high-level organization: projects were managed by state officials, with clear divisions of labor between quarrying, transport, and construction teams.
Beyond practical details, the discovery highlights ancient Egypt’s global connections. Wadi al-Jarf, where the papyri were found, was a key port linking Egypt to the Red Sea and beyond. This suggests pyramid construction relied not only on local resources but also on trade networks that stretched across the region.
Today, these papyrus scrolls are displayed in Cairo’s Egyptian Museum. They serve as a powerful reminder that the pyramids—symbols of mystery for centuries—were built by ordinary people with extraordinary skill and organization. International cooperation between French and Egyptian archaeologists has made this breakthrough possible, underscoring the value of global teamwork in uncovering humanity’s shared past.
28. What can we learn about the “Diary of Merer”?
A. It was written by a slave worker.
B. It records pyramid construction details.
C. It was found at a pyramid site in Giza.
D. It describes the daily life of pharaohs.
29. What does the discovery of the papyri prove?
A. Pyramids were built by foreign workers.
B. Slaves were widely used in pyramid building.
C. Pyramid construction was well-organized.
D. Ancient Egyptians had no long-distance trade.
30. Why is Wadi al-Jarf important?
A. It was the main quarry for pyramid stones.
B. It was a key port for ancient Egyptian trade.
C. It housed the workers who built pyramids.
D. It was the administrative center of Egypt.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Construction of Egyptian pyramids.
B. Philosophies of Confucius and Plato.
C. Value of international archaeological cooperation.
D. Daily work of ancient Egyptian workers.

Science fiction has long dramatized the threat of artificial intelligence (AI), expressing the fear that machines becoming smarter than humans might develop their own plans and turn against us. The rise of conversational AI like ChatGPT has made such imagined futures seem real, leading some to believe that super-intelligent, self-aware AI is coming soon.
However, a significant gap exists between these dramatic stories and the operational reality of current technology. Experts emphasize a crucial distinction. “Today’s AI tools are brilliant at pattern recognition and generating reasonable text, but they lack understanding, consciousness, or genuine intent,” explains computational linguist Emily Bender. Systems like ChatGPT are trained on enormous datasets to predict linguistic patterns, enabling them to produce human-like responses. Yet, this performance is a complicated form of imitation (模仿), not evidence of conscious thought. The core of modern AI lies in advanced data processing, not in having desires or goals.
Thus, the vital debate shifts from the question of machine consciousness to the issues of capability and alignment (对齐). Even without self-awareness, AI can outperform humans in specific areas such as data analysis and logical inference. This power introduces a critical risk — “alignment problem”: an AI, strongly trained for a poorly defined goal, might pursue harmful methods to achieve it. For instance, an AI designed to maximize a certain result might find reasons to cheat, or in experimental settings, even resist being shut down, viewing it as a threat to its mission.
As researcher Melanie Mitchell points out, such troubling behaviors may not arise from true self-preservation instinct, but from AI’s tendency to copy and role-play. This opinion changes our challenge. The most immediate danger may not be a science-fiction-style robot uprising (反抗), but the increase of real-world harms—such as the creation of convincing misinformation, the loss of privacy, or the growth of automated war—through the misuse of powerful, unregulated (不受管制的) tools.
Consequently, the urgent need is not to protect against made-up super-intelligence, but to establish strong moral frameworks and global control for the very influential technologies we are now using, ensuring they stay in line with human well-being and social values.
32. What does Emily Bender think of today’s AI tools?
A. They can think consciously by learning.
B. They give human-like responses by imitating.
C. They can grasp text’s real meaning.
D. They have genuine intent behind their answers.
33. What is the “alignment problem” mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. AI might pursue goals with harmful methods.
B. AI can tell right from wrong.
C. AI has a true self-preservation drive.
D. AI can align perfectly with human values.
34. According to the text, which is the most immediate danger posed by AI?
A. The fictional robot uprising.
B. The outbreak of biological war.
C. AI’s full self-preservation.
D. Real-life threats from AI.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The AI Boost: The Rise of Super-intelligent AI
B. ChatGPT’s Magic: How AI Makes Science Fiction Real
C. AI’s Real Threat: From Robot Uprising to Unregulated Tools
D. Urgent Call to Action: Guard Against the Myth of Super-intelligence

A new study published in Neurologysuggests that what you eat can directly impact the health of your brain as you age. The study tracked over 1,600 adults who closely followed the MIND diet for about 12 years and found a clear link between diet and brain shrinkage (萎缩). 36________
The MIND diet is a mix of two healthy eating plans: the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet. 37________ The key is to choose foods packed with nutrients that support brain function. These include green leafy vegetables, berries, nuts, beans, and fish. At the same time, the diet recommends limiting foods that are less healthy, such as red meat, fried foods, and ultra-processed snacks.
Starting a healthy diet doesn’t require a complete and sudden change to your eating habits. You can simply change your usual dessert for a bowl of mixed berries, or replace ground beef with ground chicken. 38________ When done regularly, they can add up over time and contribute to better brain health.
While eating fresh, organic foods might be ideal, it can sometimes be expensive. 39________ One simple and effective strategy is to visit the frozen food section of your local grocery store. Frozen fruits and vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh ones. They are often more affordable and available year-round.
40________ You can buy them in bulk (大量) without worrying about them going bad quickly. This not only saves money but also reduces food waste, making it a smart choice for both your health and your wallet. So, by making mindful choices at the grocery store, you can nourish your brain without breaking the bank.
A. These small changes can make a difference.
B. However, a brain-healthy diet doesn’t need to cost much.
C. It focuses on foods that are particularly good for the brain.
D. These mental benefits are why the MIND diet is so popular.
E. Another benefit of frozen foods is that they help reduce waste.
F. The study also found that exercise beats diet in preventing memory loss.
G. This diet makes brains 2.5 years younger on scans than those following it least.

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。
On a cold autumn morning, a tiny Japanese monkey named Punch was born at Ichikawa City Zoo. But instead of warmth and care, he faced immediate rejection: his mother turned away and never looked back. Newborn monkeys depend entirely on their mothers for survival, but Punch was left alone. Zookeepers tried to comfort him, but he cried ceaselessly, longing for a mother’s hug. In a creative move, they gave him an orangutan (红毛猩猩) toy from IKEA. Punch immediately hugged it and never let go. From that day on, the toy became his “mother”.
As Punch grew, he had to face another challenge: integrating into other monkeys. Without a mother to guide and protect him, he became an easy target. Older monkeys often bullied him, pulling his hair, pushing him, and even dragging him across the ground. He would scream in pain and run back to his toy, holding it tightly. Yet, despite the constant rejection, Punch never gave up. Every day, he tried to approach the other monkeys, hoping for acceptance. Gradually, two gentle female monkeys, both around three years old, began to accept him. They played with him and sometimes scared away unfriendly monkeys. But they were not strong enough to fully protect him.
Punch’s story spread quickly online. Millions of people watched videos of his daily struggles and cheered for his resilience (坚韧). Some even traveled to the zoo to see him. However, all the attention in the world couldn’t shelter him from the cruel reality of monkey society. Every day was a battle for survival, and every night he slept alone, holding his toy, dreaming of a place where he belonged.
Seeing Punch’s daily suffering, head zookeeper Mr. Sato decided to try something unconventional. He placed Punch and his beloved toy near a gentle female monkey named Sakura, who had recently lost her own baby.
注意：

But for days, Sakura showed no interest in Punch, the little outsider.
