Our annual list highlights travel destinations that inspire connections and wonder. Here are four starting points to launch your own travel plan.
Dodecanese Islands, Greece
Waves of conquerors-Romans, Ottomans, Italians-left their fingerprints on everything from the architecture to the food on these Greek islands. Today’s invaders come not for fortune but for selfies(自拍).Now less visited parts of the isles,like Karpathos,hope to balance the economic need for tourism with the environmental stresses caused by it.
Tuli Block, Botswana
Travelers to Botswana have become more interested in seeing more craft-based tours and village homestays since COVID.A National Geographic explorer, Mookod, is establishing an education program in 10 remote villages, which shows the village teachers how to weave the environment and local culture into their lessons.
Louangphabang, Laos
The pandemic closed the borders of many tourism-dependent countries like Laos. But the Southeast Asian nation hopes the Chinese-constructed bullet train will boost domestic travel. Its 260-mile route within Laos starts at the border town of Boten, crosses more than 70 tunnels and 160 bridges, runs through Louangphabang, and ends in the capital,Vientiane.
Choquequirao, Peru
Choquequirao is one of the most remote Inca sites in the Peruvian Andes. Numerous temples, terraces(梯田),and squares are yet to be fully unearthed. But new infrastructure plans are expected to boost visits to Machu Picchu’s sister city.

The topic “slash youth”, referring to those refusing to be defined or bound by just one personal identity and choosing to undertake multiple careers, has fueled heated debate on social media. On Douban, a Chinese social networking platform, the topic has attracted about 11,000posts and has been viewed over 400 million times. China’s young people are keen to share their slash youth stories online, presenting themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and musician.
Xing Eryang, a 31-year-old female resident in Beijing, founded the Douban topic in 2021.While staying diligent about her daytime work, she is developing her hobbies, including stand-up comedy and vlogging, into secondary careers during her spare time. And she is amazed to find her “slash life” philosophy followed by so many of her peers.
Weiheng, a 26-year-old woman in Guangzhou, and Tang Yuhan, a 27-year-old man in Xuancheng city, Anhui province, are both participants in the topic, with their stories earning thousands of likes so far. The two are both musicians in their spare time, even though they are thousands of miles apart and have different jobs in media and finance. Their passion for music has grown since college and they didn’t abandon their enthusiasm, even after entering the workplace.
Their reaction showed the gap between the young and former generations. “My parents used to say, ‘music cannot earn you money’, so the band thing was regarded as a waste of time. However, we want to pursue whatever we love and are willing to pay for it.” says Weiheng.
“The ‘slash life’ mania(狂热)shows that, along with China’s economic development, our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive, and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment,” says Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They tend to practice a carpe diem(活在当下)philosophy and create their own identities.”
4. What are “slash youth” more likely to do

B. Take diverse occupations.
C. Become a stand-up comedian.
D Share their own stories online.

A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Unfavorable. D. Indifferent.

Recently, there was a slight growth in the travel industry in the UK after lockdowns. “I think what pandemic(流行病)has done,” said the boss of a travel company, “ is remind people what it’s like when you don’t travel.” Travel is never out of the top three desire purchases. People will give up a kitchen, sofa and surprisingly supermarket shopping, to protect the holiday.
Protecting the holiday at all costs makes total sense to me.Holidays are not a luxury, but one of those essential things in life that allow us to get through hard times. The thought of a holiday promotes a sense of well-being, of calm, of balance.
Holidays do not have to be expensive, or to places far away. Obviously, two weeks in the Maldives is the dream,but others can count as a holiday.For me, a holiday needs only a few things: a drawer to put my phone in, a couple of good books, and a chance to hang out with my family.
In my twenties when I was almost constantly in a state of anxiety, I never went on holiday. I was scared of flying, scared of my boss noticing how much nicer life was without me in the office. I thought not going on holiday made me a harder worker,when actually it just made me a more tired one. Then, a boss pulled me aside to tell me that he wasn’t going to thank me for not taking my holidays. I then booked a cheap beach holiday with a friend, and was genuinely amazed to find I felt much better for it.
So now, I make sure I always have a holiday booked- even if said holiday is only a weekend staying with my sister. A change is as beneficial as a rest, said Winston Churchill- both at the same time is, in my view, even better.
8. What did people realize after lockdowns according to paragraph 1
A. The importance of travelling.
B. The harm from the pandemic.
C. The need for more online purchases.
D. The difficulty with holiday protection.
9. Which of the following illustrates the author’s basic criteria for a holiday
A. A warm climate and beaches.
B. Some quality time with family.
C. Some adventurous travel plans.
D. A five-star hotel and fine dining.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A The benefit the author obtained from travelling.
B. The source of the author’s stress during office hours.
C. The change of the author’s attitude to taking holidays.
D. The reason why the author tried to be a harder worker.
11. What is the function of the quote in the last paragraph
A. To explain a fact.
B. To provide a detail.
C. To support a point.
D. To offer a suggestion.
D
Humans are not the animal kingdom’s only super fans of fashion. Tits (山雀) can be fashion-victims, too, apparently. A study, published in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin, shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season’s must-have color.
Dr Wild and Dr Aplin were following up work published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various colored balls of wool out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season, integrated into local birds’ nests. But which particular color was favored varied from season to season. This suggested that the color chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.
Williams’s work was, however, forgotten until Dr Wild and Dr Aplin came across it while following up on a different study. The study noted that, during any given breeding (繁殖) season, the blue tits they were investigating tended to integrate the same herbal plants into their nests regardless of how abundant those herbs actually were. This, too, suggested fashion-following-and it likewise led Dr Wild and Dr Aplin to infer that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them. They therefore set out to rerun Williams’s experiment, but this time to collect some actual numbers.
The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue, great and marsh tits in a wood near the institute. Of the 68 tits ‘nests built that season in the experimental areas, 26 contained wool, including 18 of the color of wool chosen by the first nest builder.
Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend” when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains unclear. Dr Wild and Dr Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and younger ones simply follow. Williams’s original work, though, suggests such initial choices are random. A bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.
12. What do we know about tits from the first two paragraphs
A. Tits choose the same color all the time.
B. Tits suffer a lot from following fashion.
C. Tits tend to copy others in building their nests.
D. Tits like to follow fellow birds’ behavior in most cases.
13. Why did Dr Wild and Dr Aplin rerun William’s experiment
A To offer guidance for William.
B. To study birds’ nests.
C. To prove birds’ modelling behavior.
D. To investigate bird breeding.
14. What can we learn about Dr Wild and Dr Aplin’s experiment
A. They believed older tits chose colors at random.
B. They knew exactly why tits followed the first nest builder.
C. They discovered most tits used wool in building their nests.
D. They assumed older tits were the ones to lead the trend.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Tits: Fashion Followers
B. Nest Building: Colors First
C. Birds: Human Followers
D. Scientific Research: Numbers First

I’m not going to say storms are good, because I know what they’ve stolen from people. But my story is of a storm that gave me more than I’d thought to ask for.
The tornado(龙卷风)blew through on a Sunday. We were visiting grandparents in Raleigh then, unaware that seventy miles away the big tree in our front yard was tearing through our roof and destroying the kitchen.
When we returned, we saw Rosica’s father and brothers in our yard, gathering debris(碎片)and using a chain saw to cut the thickest branches of the fallen tree, though we barely knew them then. They were covered in sweat and dirt.
My mom didn’t seem to notice how happy they were to help us because the first thing she said was “Oh, you don’t need to be doing all that work!” Mr. Flores laughed.“Claro! Of course, we don’t. But more importantly, you cannot sleep in that house e and speak to my wife. She’ll help you figure out what to do.” My mom doesn’t usually let people tell her what to do, but she sighed(叹气)deeply as she took in the sight of our home in the failing light, reached for my hand, and followed our neighbor to their house.
The Flores family lived across the street. Their home was the same size as ours but housed three generations. Rosica was my age. I knew her name and face, but since she was new to our school, and had a different teacher than I did, we had never spoken. It was she who answered the door.“Mama is changing the sheets on the bed for you, and there’s some lemon cheesecake on the table.”
“Please don’t trouble yourself. I think I’d call a hotel and see about a room,” my mom said, more uneasy than usual. Mrs. Flores came down the stairs and smiled at us warmly, “Y our room is ready. I know it’s more encouraged to give than receive, but allow yourself to receive a place to stay, and allow us the chance to give you something you need!”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者对于度假的看法,作者曾经也不想度假,但是后来的经历改变了作者的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Recently, there was a slight growth in the travel industry in the UK after lockdowns. “I think what pandemic(流行病)has done,” said the boss of a travel company, “ is remind people what it’s like when you don’t travel.”(最近,英国旅游业在封锁后略有增长。“我认为流行病所做的就是提醒人们不旅行是什么样子。”一家旅游公司的老板说。)”可知,人们在由于疫情封锁后最终意识到了旅游的重要性。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For me, a holiday needs only a few things: a drawer to put my phone in, a couple of good books, and a chance to hang out with my family.(对我来说,假期只需要几样东西:一个放手机的抽屉,几本好书,和家人出去玩的机会。)”可知,作者认为假期只需要有和家人一起的机会就可以。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段内容“In my twenties, when I was almost constantly in a state of anxiety, I never went on holiday. I was scared of flying, scared of my boss noticing how much nicer life was without me in the office. I thought not going on holiday made me a harder worker, when actually it just made me a more tired one. Then, a boss pulled me aside to tell me that he wasn’t going to thank me for not taking my holidays. I then booked a cheap beach holiday with a friend, and was genuinely amazed to find I felt much better for it.(在我20多岁的时候,当时我几乎总是处于焦虑的状态,我从来没有去度假。我害怕坐飞机,害怕老板注意到我不在办公室生活会好得多。我原以为不去度假会让我更努力工作,但实际上不度假只会让我更累。然后,一位老板把我拉到一边,告诉我他不会因为我不休假而感谢我。然后我和一个朋友订了一个便宜的海滩度假,我真的很惊讶地发现我感觉好多了。)”可知,第四段主要讲述了作者对于度假的态度的改变。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So now, I make sure I always have a holiday booked- even if said holiday is only a weekend staying with my sister. A change is as beneficial as a rest, said Winston Churchill- both at the same time is, in my view, even better.(所以现在,我确保我总是有一个假期预订-即使说的假期只是一个周末和我妹妹呆在一起。温斯顿·丘吉尔说过,改变和休息一样有益——在我看来,两者同时进行更好。)”可知,作者引用丘吉尔的话是为了支持自己的观点,也就是——改变和休息同时进行会更好。故选C。
D
Humans are not the animal kingdom’s only super fans of fashion. Tits (山雀) can be fashion-victims, too, apparently. A study, published in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin, shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season’s must-have color.
Dr Wild and Dr Aplin were following up work published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various colored balls of wool out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season, integrated into local birds’ nests. But which particular color was favored varied from season to season. This suggested that the color chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.
Williams’s work was, however, forgotten until Dr Wild and Dr Aplin came across it while following up on a different study. The study noted that, during any given breeding (繁殖) season, the blue tits they were investigating tended to integrate the same herbal plants into their nests regardless of how abundant those herbs actually were. This, too, suggested fashion-following-and it likewise led Dr Wild and Dr Aplin to infer that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them. They therefore set out to rerun Williams’s experiment, but this time to collect some actual numbers.
The birds they followed were part of a well-monitored population of blue, great and marsh tits in a wood near the institute. Of the 68 tits ‘nests built that season in the experimental areas, 26 contained wool, including 18 of the color of wool chosen by the first nest builder.
Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend” when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains unclear. Dr Wild and Dr Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and younger ones simply follow. Williams’s original work, though, suggests such initial choices are random. A bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.
12. What do we know about tits from the first two paragraphs
A. Tits choose the same color all the time.
B. Tits suffer a lot from following fashion.
C. Tits tend to copy others in building their nests.
D. Tits like to follow fellow birds’ behavior in most cases.
13. Why did Dr Wild and Dr Aplin rerun William’s experiment
A. To offer guidance for William.
B. To study birds’ nests.
C. To prove birds’ modelling behavior.
D. To investigate bird breeding.
14. What can we learn about Dr Wild and Dr Aplin’s experiment
A. They believed older tits chose colors at random.
B. They knew exactly why tits followed the first nest builder.
C. They discovered most tits used wool in building their nests.
D. They assumed older tits were the ones to lead the trend.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Tits: Fashion Followers
B. Nest Building: Colors First
C. Birds: Human Followers
D. Scientific Research: Numbers First
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍山雀也可能成为时尚的追求者。Sonja Wild和Lucy Aplin在《行为生态学与社会生物学》上发表的一项研究表明,如果有机会,它们会用本季必备的颜色装饰巢穴。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A study, published in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin, shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season’s must-have color.( Sonja Wild和Lucy Aplin在《行为生态学与社会生物学》上发表的一项研究表明,如果有机会,它们会用本季必备的颜色装饰巢穴)”以及第二段“This suggested that the color chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.( 这表明,之前的鸟选择的颜色被其他鸟类发现并复制了)”可知,山雀在筑巢时会模仿其他鸟,故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This, too, suggested fashion-following-and it likewise led Dr Wild and Dr Aplin to infer that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them. They therefore set out to rerun Williams’s experiment(这也表明了时尚的追求。同样地,这也让Wild和Aplin博士推断出鸟类正在研究其他鸟类的巢穴并复制。因此,他们着手重新进行威廉姆斯的实验)”推知,Dr Wild和Dr Aplin重新进行试验的目的是要证明山鸟的模仿行为,故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr Wild and Dr Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and younger ones simply follow(Wild和Aplin认为有可能引领潮流的是年纪较大的鸟类,而年纪较小的则紧随其后)”可知,Dr Wild and Dr Aplin猜想年纪较大的山雀是时尚潮流的引领者,故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Tits (山雀)can be fashion-victims, too, apparently.( 显然,山雀也可能成为时尚的追求者)”以及第二段“This suggested that the color chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.(这表明,其中一只早期鸟类选择的颜色被其他鸟类发现并复制了)”以及第三段“They therefore set out to rerun Williams’s experiment, but this time to collect some actual numbers.(因此,他们开始重新进行威廉姆斯的实验,但这次是为了收集一些实际数字)”还有最后一段“Dr Wild and Dr Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and younger ones simply follow(Wild和Aplin认为有可能引领潮流的是年纪较大的鸟类,而年纪较小的则紧随其后)”可知,第一段提出了山雀可能事实上追求者这一话题,后续段落对这一现象进行了原因分析和解释,所以最佳标题应为:山雀是时尚的追求者,故选A项。

Establishing healthy boundaries with yourself will help you stay within your range of control and prioritize what matters most. Here are some tips.
Be honest with yourself
Behind every fancy purchase is a desire for status and recognition. You secretly want to be noticed for wearing a new watch or carrying a designer purse.___16___So before taking action towards any endeavor, such as making an expensive purchase or pursuing a job promotion, ask yourself, “Who am I doing this for ”
___17___However,if you are pursuing something with the hopes of attracting attention, then you need to say no to yourself.
Honor your limits
You can’t be everything for everyone. Trying to please everyone makes you vulnerable.___18___It is important that you are wise with your resources.
The importance of honoring your limits is highlighted by the Greek mythological story. The story is a reminder that pushing yourself too hard for too long ultimately comes at a cost.
Stop comparing yourself to others
People will engage in behaviors that trigger you. It might be tempting to enter an undeclared competition with the Joneses. This approach does not work because there is always someone out there who has more of what you desire.
Stop comparing yourself to others.___19___Focus on living a meaningful life that is consistent with your values and goals.
Be fair to yourself
You are likely your worst critic. You secretly say things to yourself that you would never have the heart to tell others.
Remember to have realistic expectations of yourself.___20___If the goal is unrealistic, then you have to say no and adjust your expectations.
A. You criticize yourself for shortcomings.
B. The truth is you have limited energy and time.
C. The reality is that you are not being recognized.
D. What someone is doing with their life has nothing to do with you.
E. If a pursuit will truly improve the quality of your life, then go for it.
F. The same can be said about other pursuits such as accumulating wealth and status.
G. When you set goals, consider whether you have set the standard at a reasonable level.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. D 20. G

【18题详解】
根据上文“You can’t be everything for everyone. Trying to please everyone makes you vulnerable.”(你不可能成为所有人的一切。试图取悦所有人只会让你变得脆弱。)根据下文“It is important that you are wise with your resources.( 明智地使用资源是很重要的)”可知,人的精力和时间是有限的,与B项“The truth is you have limited energy and time(事实是你的精力和时间有限)”表达的含义一致,故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Stop comparing yourself to others(别再拿自己和别人比较了)”根据下文“Focus on living a meaningful life that is consistent with your values and goals.”(专注于过与你的价值观和目标一致的有意义的生活。)可知此处说的与别人比较是不明智的,因为他们所做的一切与你无关,与D项“What someone is doing with their life has nothing to do with you.( 别人在他的生活中所做的一切与你无关)”表达的含义一致,故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Remember to have realistic expectations of yourself(记住对自己来说有现实意义的期望)”以及下文“If the goal is unrealistic, then you have to say no and adjust your expectations.(如果目标不现实,那么你要去说不并调整你的期望)”可知此处说的是目标设置要合理,与G项“When you set goals, consider whether you have set the standard at a reasonable level.( 当你设定目标时,要考虑你是否将标准设定在了合理的水平上)” 表达的含义一致,故选G项。

I’m not going to say storms are good, because I know what they’ve stolen from people. But my story is of a storm that gave me more than I’d thought to ask for.
The tornado(龙卷风)blew through on a Sunday. We were visiting grandparents in Raleigh then, unaware that seventy miles away the big tree in our front yard was tearing through our roof and destroying the kitchen.
When we returned, we saw Rosica’s father and brothers in our yard, gathering debris(碎片)and using a chain saw to cut the thickest branches of the fallen tree, though we barely knew them then. They were covered in sweat and dirt.
My mom didn’t seem to notice how happy they were to help us because the first thing she said was “Oh, you don’t need to be doing all that work!” Mr. Flores laughed.“Claro! Of course, we don’t. But more importantly, you cannot sleep in that house e and speak to my wife. She’ll help you figure out what to do.” My mom doesn’t usually let people tell her what to do, but she sighed(叹气)deeply as she took in the sight of our home in the failing light, reached for my hand, and followed our neighbor to their house.
The Flores family lived across the street. Their home was the same size as ours but housed three generations. Rosica was my age. I knew her name and face, but since she was new to our school, and had a different teacher than I did, we had never spoken. It was she who answered the door.“Mama is changing the sheets on the bed for you, and there’s some lemon cheesecake on the table.”
“Please don’t trouble yourself. I think I’d call a hotel and see about a room,” my mom said, more uneasy than usual. Mrs. Flores came down the stairs and smiled at us warmly, “Y our room is ready. I know it’s more encouraged to give than receive, but allow yourself to receive a place to stay, and allow us the chance to give you something you need!”

【答案】 Our two-week stay at Flores’s home started. In the beginning, my mom was very uneasy and thought that living here could be a trouble for the family. She would help them with the housework as much as possible. The family were very friendly to us. They always said to us that, “Be at home!” They not only prepared everything we needed for us, but also cooked us delicious food, trying their best to make us feel at home. Gradually, we became familiar with each other just like a family. With Thanksgiving Day coming, our house was still under repair, which meant that we had to celebrate the festival with the family.
Following our stay in their home, a beautiful tradition began. On Thanksgiving Day, we together made a big dinner. My mom roasted the turkey which was popular with everyone. During the dinner, my mom extended her thanks to the family. “Thank you! I really don’t know what to say, but really thank you!” “Friends need no thanks!” said Mrs. Flores. We all laughed and enjoyed the dinner with joy and gratitude.
