CHAMBORD CASTLE, LOIR-ET-CHER, FRANCE
A remarkable example of classical French architecture, Chambord Castle is the largest castle in the Lo
ire Valley of France. Built in 1519 as a hunting lodge for the royal courts, the building was rarely lived in. There are one hundred rooms (of 440) open to the public and dozens of staircases, including one said to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The surrounding 21-square-mile nature park entertains with hiking and biking routes and boat rentals.
LEEDS CASTLE, KENT, UNITED KINGDOM
Situated on islands in the middle of a lake, Leeds Castle provides a grand and romantic experience. It has served as a royal residence for most of its 900-year history. The 500-acre English castle now hosts year-round cultural events, with three restaurants, a bed-and-breakfast and a yew tree maze.
MOSZNA CASTLE, POLAND
Moszna Castle was originally designed in Baroque style in the 17th century, but the later addition of a neo-Gothic brought Hogwarts appeal to the castle, especially at night when its 99 towers and glowing windows twinkle in the outdoor reflecting pool. Nowadays, art exhibits and indoor concerts attract visitors to the 365-room castle.
BRAN CASTLE, BRASOV, ROMANIA
Bran Castle originally dates back to the year 1212 and is mistakenly believed to be the home in Bram Stoker's Dracula.The author never visited this fortress, commonly known as Dracula's Castle, but it still attracts Literature fans to its weakly-lit hallways for night tours and an annual Halloween
party.

Tourists to the North Antrim Coast come for its breathtaking beauty. On this stretch of coast, myth and history live side by side, and running out of things to do is near impossible: Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede, the Iron Isles' filming locations.
However, when I make my way to the north of the country in October, none of them are on my mind. What brings me to the coastal town of Portrush are the waves.
Located on a peninsula, Portrush is home to three brilliant beaches and all the usual points of interest of a coastal town. But what makes the North Antrim Coast so special is the promise of the consistent waves hitting its shores. Although still relatively unknown, it's a surfer's dream destination. This is the home of six-time Irish national surfing champion, Andrew Hill, after all.
I meet Andrew at his surf shop, the most popular in Portrush. After hiring a surf board and jumping in the water at West Strand, I quickly realize that my trusted wetsuit is not enough. Within just 30 minutes, I've lost all feeling in my feet and hands, and my ears are burning. I retreat to a nearby cafe and gulp down steaming tea before popping by Andrew's shop again. Surf boots are what I need, we decide. I leave with a new determination to master the icy Atlantic waves. I’m invited to surf a different spot with Andrew and his friend that afternoon, but I decline his generous offer. My head is set on one thing only: taking revenge on the same waves that almost turned me into an ice block that very morning.
Even with boots, surfing the cold waters of Portrush leaves my feet purple. I become covered in bruise
s that don't register until I thaw out each night, and it takes a couple of days to fully regain feeling in my hands. But it's worth it, and I would gladly do it all over again.

When the Chinese spacecraft(航天器) Chang'e-5 returned to Earth on December 17, 2020, it brought back something not seen on our planet since the 1970s: moon rock samples. This precious cargo, collected by Chang'e-5's robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side, is now being studied by scientists in Beijing. The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on Earth's near neighbour.
The returned lunar samples will "absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon, particularly its volcanoes," says Xiao Long, a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences. The rocks sent back by Chang'e-5 "will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon's volcanic history lasted this long," he says.
The Chang'e-5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks. It was also the latest stage of a long, planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.
The program began with the 2007 launch of Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 three years later. These craft circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4, the first Chinese spacec
raft to land on the moon surface, and to direct their robotic vehicles. The robot on Chang'e-5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to Earth. In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Chang'e-6 will attempt a sample-return mission from the moon's south pole—an area of intense scientific interest—given the large amount of water ice present.
The more advanced Chang'e-7 and Chang'e-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies, including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers, such as water and hydrogen, and testing 3-D printing on the lunar surface.
The long-term aim of the Chang'e program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and, eventually, crewed missions.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The moon's recent volcanic activities.
B. The significance of the moon rock samples.
C. New knowledge of the history of the moon.
D. Further studies of the returned lunar samples.
29. What distinguishes the mission of Chang'e-6 from that of Chang'e-5?
A. The technology they use.
B. The time they spend on the moon.
C. The specific locations they explore. .
D. The amount of material they bring back.
30. Chang'e-7 and Chang'e-8 space missions are mainly intended to____.
A. transport researchers to the moon station
B. build up an International Lunar Research Station
C. collect data necessary to guide moon-landing spacecraft
D. find and test resources and means to support living on the moon
31. Which of the following best summarizes the Chang'e space program?
A. A project to study the surface of the moon.
B. A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.
C. A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.
D. A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar explorations.
D
What makes people so special? Tool use, self-consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom.
Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas(大猩猩) have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots(which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as uniquely human exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.
Among the invertebrates, octopuses(八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social-group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.
Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations(especially in females), with some families--grandmother, mother, and daughter-- all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.
32. The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they________.
A. are not easy to fool
B. prefer fruits to vegetables
C. have a special taste on food
D. have an awareness of equality
33. What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins?
A. Social interaction.
B. Intelligence.
C. Tool using ability.
D. Fun-loving spirits.
34. What makes dolphin culture special?
A. They tend to hunt in groups.
B. Their hunting skills are passed down.
C. Their learning environment is favourable.
D. Their families are typically female controlled.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.
B. Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-month-old human baby.
C. Dolphins are generally regarded as the most advanced non-human species.
D. Dolphins' ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher-order mental skill.

Critical thinking is making an effort to improve the way you think. 36  . We use this process to solve problems, make arguments and evaluate claims. It's important in just about every area of life.
Most of our thinking is not critical thinking. We don't need to make many judgments to travel to work or cook dinner. 37 . Critical thinking can save us from blindly making poor choices. So how
