There is a reason that we are the choice of picky agents and travelers across the world.
SEE WHAT OUR PAST TRAVELERS HAD TO SAY
I’ve gone on two Amazonas Explorer trips and, as far as I’m concerned, they are the best trip organizers in Peru. One of the trips was the standard Inca trail hike, pulled off perfectly; the other was taking inflatable kayaks （充氣皮艇）to the headwaters of the Tuichi River in Madidi National Park in Bolivia, then kayaking for a week down to the river’s mouth. I’ve known the owner, Paul Cripps, for more than twenty years — if he hadn’ t personally hiked it, biked it, floated it or climbed it, then it probably simply couldn’t have been done!
21. What are Amazonas Explorer’s workers like
A. Mild. B. Knowledgeable.
C. Humble. D. Careless.
22. All of the following are true about Amazonas Explorer EXCEPT ______.
A. It mainly aims for environmental protection.
B. It has been headquartered in Cusco for decades.
C. It tailors travel arrangements to personal needs.
D. It offers a wide range of local information.
23. What is the text
A. A news report. B. A novel.
C. A biography. D. An advertisement.

As it moves across central Italy, an old train pulling carriages from the 1930s and 1950s crosses the forests of the Majella National Park and the Abruzzo highlands. The Park Railway, traveling through valleys and tunnels and over old bridges, offers visitors a view of small, rural and hidden villages in the country.
It was the first of some 1,000 kilometers of rail line to have re-opened under a project called “Timeless tracks”, which aims to take visitors to forgotten parts of Italy instead of the popular cities. The tracks have lived through different eras. They were mistakenly considered unproductive during the 1960s and 1970s but are now once again of value.
Norma Pagiotti, a 28-year-old traveler from Florence, said, “People are used to cities and places, like Florence, that everyone knows. But then there are other areas that need to be discovered. This is the right kind of tourism that does not destroy the reality of places.”
Caterina Quaranta, from southern Italy, used the term “nostalgic” to describe riding the train. “The train reminds me of my youth and the things of the past, which were simpler. But now everything is fast, short-lived,” Quaranta said.
After climbing up almost 1,000 meters in altitude, the train’s first stop is in Palena, a hill-top town known for its beautiful views over the national park. Traditional folk music accompanies people getting off the train, with local foods such as lamb skewers and soft pancakes and products by local artisans awaiting them at the station.
“The train financially helps several small towns around here.” said Gino Toppi, 60, as he helped his wife with the food stand in the small station. His village has long lost population due to the declining birth rate and younger people leaving for the bigger cities.
24. What is the main purpose of the “Timeless tracks” project
A. To promote tourism in Italy’s popular cities.
B. To prove the old railway unproductive.
C. To connect major Italian cities.
D. To visit off-the-beaten-track destinations.
25. How did Norma Pagiotti think of exploring lesser-known areas in Italy
A. It is a waste of time compared to visiting popular cities.
B. It helps preserve the authenticity of these places.
C. It makes these areas too commercialized.
D. It is only suitable for elderly travelers.
26. How did Caterina Quaranta feel about her experience on the Park Railway
A. Feeling a strong dislike. B. Longing for the past time.
C. Causing great worry. D. Having pleasant relaxation.
27. According to Gino Toppi, what current benefit will the railway bring to the villagers along the way
A. The economic promotion. B. The increasing birth rate.
C. The population mobility. D. The lifestyle of big cities.

Over the past few centuries, we have dug, chopped, burned, drilled, pumped, stripped, forged, flared, lit, launched, driven, and flown our way to adding 2.4 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide to Earth’s atmosphere. On a lonely, lunar-like valley 20 miles outside of Reykjavík, Iceland, Edda Aradóttir is on a mission to put it back where it came from.
In sending CO2 deep beneath the surface of the planet, she’s aiming to reverse one of the most consequential acts （有重要意義的行為）of human history: the unearthing of massive amounts of subterranean （地下）carbon as fossil fuels, the lifeblood of modern civilization but now its bane as well. She doesn’t have much time. Nor do the rest of us. The extreme weather and record-hot temperatures from climate change are already here — and virtually certain to get worse.
Scientists and entrepreneurs like Aradóttir are embarking on （著手）ambitious — and sometimes controversial — projects to remove carbon dioxide from ambient air and lock it away. In Arizona, an engineering professor shows me his “mechanical tree,” a single one of which may someday be able to do the work of a thousand regular trees in capturing and storing CO2. In Australia, a leading oceanographer tells me that seaweed is salvation, if only we’d help it grow in giant aqua-gardens of kelp and wakame that could harbor billions of tons of carbon dioxide. Atop a university building in Zürich, an Uruguayan inventor with a gleam in his eye presents me with a small vial of fuel made from nothing but sunlight and air.
What these efforts have in common is that they are geared in the long run to drag downward a number that climate experts agree holds the key to the health of the planet. That number is the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. Today this critical number stands at some 420 parts per million, rising roughly 50 percent since 1850. Carbon-capture proponents say that their work — to capture the main driver of climate change, radically scaled up in coming decades — will help bring this number down.
28. What is the main idea of the first and second paragraph
A. Too much carbon contributes to climate change.
B. Increasing carbon due to human activities urges action.
C. For hundreds of year humans have increased too much carbon.
D. Scientists should put carbon back to where it is from.
29. What does the underlined phrase “one of the most consequential acts” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. What boosts civilization also opens Pandora’s box.
B. Human civilization leads to extremely unstable climate.
C. There is less time for us to protect our environment.
D. Modern civilization depends too much on fossil fuels.
30. Why does the author mention some scientists and entrepreneurs in paragraph 3
A. To show their ambitions of reusing carbon.
B. To suggest the possibility of controlling carbon.
C. To offer practical ways of emitting carbon.
D. To display a new evidence in scientific researches.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Another Possible Weapon to Fight Climate Change
B. Industrial Revolutions Spelling Disaster for Human
C. Extreme Climate Change Waiting to Be Urgently Eased
D. New Measures to Reduce Greenhouse-gas Emissions
D
A plague of rats is creating havoc in Karumba, a small coastal town in Queensland, Australia, where hordes of rodents（嚙齒動物）are chewing on electrical wires and otherwise eating everything they can find — and washing up dead in massive numbers, creating a literal stink in the community.
The long-haired rat eats shoots and leaves — and then leaves for the north, seeking more food, researcher Emma Gray of the school of biology and environmental science at Queensland University of Technology told NPR. Like an army, the mass of rats also has a very effective, and literal, force multiplier. Gray says they can “produce 12 young every three weeks when conditions are good!”
“They come in waves,” Karumba resident Jon Jensen told the ABC radio station in Brisbane. “They almost seem trained and organized. They’re in numbers, mate, and they swim around in the rivers like little puppy dogs.” Everywhere they go, the rats eat — and eat. “They’re hungry, they’ve swum a long way, they’ve come across land a long way,” Jensen said, “and they’re eating anything and everything they can get their hands on.”
Queensland’s topography, with a river system that twists its way to the northern coast, funnels the rodents toward the shore — and dead or alive, hordes of them arrive in Karumba, a fishing and port community on the Gulf of Carpentaria. Once they’ve arrived, there’s little anyone can do to curtail the plague. Traps have been set up, he said, but in the face of such multitudes, the measure “really is a token gesture.”
However, “as quickly as the rats irrupt or ‘boom’ in numbers, so too do they decline or ‘bust,’” Gray said. The decline can be linked to several factors, from a change to dry conditions to increases in inbreeding and disease — and predators that feast on the rodent influx. Feral cats, for instance, are eating well. “Generally during a rat irruption, the area also sees a significant increase in the number of predatory birds,” Gray said. He added, “This year we have them in all their glory and can’t wait for them to disappear.”
32. Which of the following can probably describe the rats in Karumba
A. Untrained & disorganized. B. Social & reproductive.
C. Abnormal & digestive. D. Domestic & overeating.
33. Why does the rats’ migration end in Karumba
A. Because geological features of the river system bring rats there.
B. Because there is enough food in Karumba for rats such as fishes.
C. Because the northern coast in Karumba provides habitats for rats.
D. Because the climate of the north is suitable for their inbreeding.
34. What does the author mean by “a token gesture” in paragraph 4
A. An impossible action. B. A worthwhile task.
C. An ineffective method. D. A favorable behavior.
35. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A. To describe the consequence of the plague.
B. To analyze the reasons why rats are increasing.
C. To imply a promising result of the plague.
D. To show an evident upsurge in predatory birds.

If you are thinking about redecorating the home, you are probably searching for interior （內部的） decoration ideas. Redecorating presents a great chance to reflect your personality by displaying your style and interest. It will be easy to redecorate the home if money is not a restriction. 36 Here are some tips on how to do so:
You can get dozens of interior decoration ideas from countless magazines and TV programs. Some programs tend to show less costly interior decoration ideas. 37 It’s a good way of comparing different styles. Here you can make a distinction between the country style and the contemporary style.
If you are fond of a primitive or traditional style, warmer colors are the best for the room. These colors go with all kinds of cloth of old style and wooden furniture. 38
If you like a modern style, use brighter colors instead of white and off-white. Home decoration of the style includes minimum disorder and a lot of free space and light. Leather furniture matches the room: white or black with contrasting cushion （靠墊）per seating place. 39 This design really features contemporary decor.
40 This often occurs anyway, especially if people give you furniture. If you wish to combine different pieces of furniture, you need to bridge the gap between them. This can be done easily with materials like throw pillows, wall hangings and carpets.
A. A white one on a black sofa suits here.
B. There is nothing wrong in mixing two styles.
C. Walls tend to have one or two pieces of wall art.
D. Another effective and affordable option is by surfing the Internet.
E. The combinations and possibilities in the first decoration are endless.
F. Autumn colors go well to produce a warm, friendly and pleasant atmosphere.
G. Nevertheless, the question for most is how to redecorate the home within limited budget.

第二節（滿分25分）
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Majestic Road Hill in the suburb of our city is so steep （陡峭的）in some places that if you stopped pedaling （踩踏板）, your bike would stop immediately and start to roll backwards. The uphill path is so long that it is difficult for one to make it to the top.
The thirty of us came from the same class. We had a cross-country bicycle tour that day. Once we got to its top, there were two flat places: Dairy Queen for burgers and Becker’s for homemade donuts （a small cake）. Usually we had little money to spare, but for this challenging event, we all had saved up a little. The deal was simple: The first one that got to the top would get his meal paid for by the rest of us.
Ed and I had gone ahead of the whole team. We positioned ourselves at an advantageous point to observe the other riders who fell behind to struggle on the path. We reached the shortest, but steepest part of the hill, called “Heartbreak Ridge”. It got the name because many strong young people, who want to make it without their feet leaving their pedal to that point, only fail with a broken heart as they gather up bikes.
As sixteen-year-old teenagers, Ed and I were the best at climbing hills on our bikes. I had strong legs good at climbing and Ed was so strong that he could make a football fifty yards away with a kick. The hill got the steepest for us to get to the top. Our upper body had to hang over the handle bars to keep us from falling backwards. Ed was in front of me and he eventually made it to the top. He wiped sweat from his forehead and then he looked at me, cheering. “Kev, come on!” I tried. When I was nine feet away from Ed, something happened. My legs began to cramp （抽筋）. I, standing on my bike, couldn’t pedal, or move forwards. I was about to lose my balance.
注意：
1. 續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
Paragraph 1：Just at the critical moment, Ed jumped down from the top and gave me a helping hand.

Paragraph 2：Ed and I cheered for them while they were struggling to ride towards the top.

Dear Ryan,
I hope this email finds you well. I would like to provide some feedback on the recent experience of having my English essays corrected and reviewed using AI technology.
When receiving my AI report, I was genuinely impressed with how the AI tool expedited the correction process. The instantaneous feedback was incredibly helpful for the reason that it helped me make necessary adjustments without delay and offered a detailed analysis of grammar, vocabulary, and syntax.
Although I appreciate the convenience of the AI, I still value the human touch in essay review. Your personal insights and encouragement have always been a significant motivator for me. Perhaps a hybrid approach, combining AI efficiency with your expert judgment, could be the optimal solution.
I hope you will take my advice into consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二節（滿分 25 分）
One possible version:
Just at the critical moment, Ed jumped down from the top and gave me a helping hand. With a strong grasp, he helped me regain my balance. My legs were still aching from the cramp, but Ed’s encouragement kept me going. “You’ve got here, Kev,” he said, pulling me back onto my bike. Slowly, I started pedaling again, using all my strength to overcome the pain. Inch by inch, I moved forward, determined to reach the top. As I made it, Ed gave me a high five with a big smile. Then we noticed the other riders approaching us very slowly.
Ed and I cheered for them while they were struggling to ride towards the top. We clapped and shouted words of encouragement, knowing they needed that extra push. It was tough, but everyone had stuck it out, and that was what mattered. One by one, our friends made it up the steep hill. When the last rider finally made it to the top, we all gathered together, breathless but happy. Laughing, we made our way to Dairy Queen for burgers and Becker’s for donuts, celebrating not just our victory, but the teamwork and determination that had carried us through.
21—23. BAD
【導語】本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了AMAZONAS EXPLORER的旅游服務、特色、環保舉措以及過往旅行者的評價等。
【21題詳解】試題來源：作業套卷二A篇
細節理解題。根據第二段“Based in Cusco for over thirty years, we offer you world-class guides, superb safety and equipment, great backup and salesmen who really know what they are talking about.（總部設在庫斯科超過 30 年，我們為您提供世界一流的導游，一流的安全和設備，偉大的備份和銷售人員誰真正知道他們在說什么）”及第三段中的“Or design the best custom for each customer with our honest advice, incomparable local knowledge and fast response. （或以我們誠實的建議，無與倫比的本地知識和快速的反應為每一位客戶設計最佳定制）”可知，AMAZONASEXPLORER的工作人員專業性強且知識淵博。故選B項。
【22題詳解】 文章中提到“We support Travelers Against Plastic and have planted almost half a million native trees...”，說明他們支持環境保護但并非以此為目標，所以A是錯誤的。B選項“It has been headquartered in Cusco”：文中明確提到“Based in Cusco for over thirty years”，表明總部設在Cusco，所以B是正確的。C選項“It tailors travel arrangements to personal needs”：從“design the best custom for each customer”可以看出他們能根據個人需求定制旅行安排，所以C是正確的。D選項“It offers a wide range of local information”：文章提到 incomparable local knowledge，所以D是正確的。
故選A項。
【23題詳解】試題來源：作業套卷二A篇
推理判斷題。根據首段“Amazonas Explorer offers you new fun ways to see Machu Picchu and Peru. We use adventure to run away from the crowds, show you special places and create lifelong memories.（亞馬遜探險者為你提供新的有趣的方式去看馬丘比丘和秘魯。我們用冒險逃離人群，帶你去特別的地方，創造終身的回憶）”以及下文介紹的 AMAZONAS EXPLORER的旅游服務、特色、環保舉措以及過往旅行者的評價等，目的是吸引更多的人選擇該公司旅游，具有廣告的特點。由此推知，這篇文章是一則廣告。故選D項。
24—27. DBBA
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。意大利重新啟用20世紀30年代和50年代的舊火車，將游客帶到意大利被遺忘的偏遠村子，以振興當地由于出生率下降和年輕人涌向大城市而遭受重創的經濟。
24. 文章中提到，“Timeless tracks”項目旨在重新開放約1000公里的舊鐵路線，帶領游客前往意大利被遺忘的鄉村和隱藏的村莊，而非熱門城市。因此，正確答案是D。
25. Norma Pagiotti 提到，人們習慣了像佛羅倫薩這樣的知名城市，但還有其他需要被發現的地區。她認為這種旅游方式不會破壞地方的現實性，即保持了這些地方的真實性。因此，正確答案是B。
26. Caterina Quaranta 用“懷舊”來形容乘坐這列火車的體驗，她提到火車讓她想起了自己的青春和過去更簡單的事情。因此，正確答案是B。
27.Gino Toppi 提到，火車在經濟上幫助了這里的幾個小鎮，這意味著火車通過吸引游客和支持當地的小生意來促進當地經濟。因此，正確答案是A。
28-31 BABA
【語篇解讀】這是一篇介紹科學家構想的通過移除和控制空氣中二氧化碳來對抗氣候變化的說明文。
28. B。段落理解題。第一段陳述了人類歷史發展以來排放出大量的二氧化碳并引出科學家Edda Aradóttir 使之回歸原初的嘗試，第二段通過Edda Aradóttir實驗目的和目前極端天氣來引出解決二氧化碳問題的急迫性，故選B。
29. A。句子理解題。從第二段中“one of the most consequential acts（有重要意義的行為）of human history: the unearthing of massive amounts of subterranean （地下）carbon as fossil fuels, the lifeblood of modern civilization but now its bane as well”可知提到的有重要意義的行為是指化石燃料一方面驅動了現代科技文明的發展而另一方面又招致災禍，打開了潘多拉魔盒（隱喻為災難之源），故選A。
30. B。推理判斷題。根據第三段內容可知，像艾達·阿勞蒂爾這樣的科學家和企業家們正在著手進行雄心勃勃的、有時甚至頗具爭議的項目來消除空氣中的二氧化碳并把它封存起來，作者還舉了一些例子，比如機械樹、藻類等，由此推知，作者提到這些科學家和企業家的大膽假設和實驗是為了表明控制碳的可能性。故 B項正確。
31. A。文章大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了人類活動導致二氧化碳增加，從而造成氣候變化，科學家和企業家們正在著手進行雄心勃勃的項目來消除空氣中的二氧化碳，正如最后一段“這些努力的共同之處在于，從長遠來看，它們旨在降低氣候專家一致認為對地球健康至關重要的一個數字。這個數字就是大氣中二氧化碳的濃度。”A項“對抗氣候變化的另一種可能武器”體現了本文的中心，并且能夠吸引讀者的注意力。

【語篇解讀】這是一篇關于澳大利亞昆士蘭海邊小鎮遭遇鼠疫的新聞稿。
32. B。細節理解題。文章第二段提到老鼠“They come in waves,” “They’re in numbers, mate, and they swim around in the rivers like little puppy dogs.”這表明它們具有群居特性。同時，“they can produce 12 young every three weeks when conditions are good!”顯示了它們的高繁殖能力。因此，選項B “Social & reproductive”最能描述 Karumba的老鼠。
33. A。詞義猜測題。第四段提到“Queensland’s topography, with a river system that twists its way to the northern coast, funnels the rodents toward the shore — and dead or alive, hordes of them arrive in Karumba”，意思是昆士蘭的地形和河流系統將老鼠引向岸邊，而卡倫巴就在北部海岸，所以是地理因素導致老鼠遷徙到卡倫巴。B選項文中沒有提及卡倫巴有足夠的食物；C選項文中沒有說北部海岸為老鼠提供棲息地；D選項文中沒有說氣候適合它們繁殖，均排除。
34. C。語境推測題。“a token gesture”意思是一種象征性的表示，沒有實際效果的行動。在文中第四段提到“Traps have been set up, he said, but in the face of such multitudes, the measure ‘really is a token gesture.’”，意思是雖然設置了陷阱，但是面對如此多的老鼠，這種措施只是一種象征性的表示，即這種方法沒有效果。A選項“不可能的行動”不準確，不是完全沒有可能，只是效果甚微；B選項“值得做的任務”與文意不符；D選項“有利的行為”也是錯誤的，這種措施幾乎沒有效果，不是有利的行為。
35. C。主旨大意題。最后一段講了老鼠數量下降的原因，如環境變得干燥、近親繁殖和疾病增加以及捕食者增多等因素，并且引用了研究人員的話“This year we have them in all their glory and can’t wait for them to disappear.”，意思是雖然今年它們大量出現，但在上述原因作用下遲早會消失，暗示了人們對鼠患將會消退的期望，所以這一段從全文來看主要目的是暗示這場浩大鼠患終將會消退（好的預期結果）。
36—40. GDFAB
36. 前文提到“如果錢不是問題的話，重新裝修會很容易”，因此需要一個轉折句來引出大多數人的問題，即預算有限。G項“然而，對大多數人來說問題是如何在有限的預算內重新裝修房子”正好符合這個轉折邏輯。
37. 前文提到從雜志和電視節目中獲取裝飾想法，尤其是低成本的裝飾。D項“另一個有效且經濟的選擇是上網搜索”與前文銜接自然，繼續討論獲取裝飾想法的途徑。
38. 前文提到喜歡原始或傳統風格時使用暖色調。F項“秋天的顏色能很好地營造出溫暖、友好和愉快的氛圍”與前文提到的暖色調相呼應，進一步解釋了為什么這些顏色適合這種風格。
39.前文描述了現代風格的裝飾特點，包括明亮的顏色、簡潔的空間和皮革家具。A項“一個黑色沙發上的白色靠墊很適合這里”具體描述了如何搭配顏色和靠墊，符合前文的描述，且與后文“這個設計真的具有現代裝飾風格”進行銜接。
40. 前文提到混合不同風格的家具時需要一些過渡材料。B項“混合兩種風格沒有什么不對”正好總結了前文的觀點，強調了不同風格混合的合理性。

Dear Ryan,
I hope this email finds you well. I would like to provide some feedback on the recent experience of having my English essays corrected and reviewed using AI technology.

Dear Ryan,
I hope this email finds you well. I have some thoughts on using AI for grading our English essays.
While I see the benefits of faster feedback, I am concerned about the accuracy and reliability of Al in understanding the subtle details of our writing. AI might miss implied meanings, humorous expressions, or the creativity in oures says, leading to incorrect evaluations.
To address these concerns, I suggest only using AI as a supplementary tool. It can provide initial feedback on grammar, spelling, and basic structure, while you can review the content, coherence, and overall quality. This combined approach would ensure a more comprehensive and fair assessment.
Thank you for considering my perspective. I look forward to your feedback.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二節（滿分25分）試題來源：作業套卷六
參考范文：
Just at the critical moment, Ed jumped down from the top and gave me a helping hand. With a strong grasp, he helped me regain my balance. My legs were still aching from the cramp, but Ed’s encouragement kept me going. “You’ve got here, Kev,” he said, pulling me back onto my bike. Slowly, I started pedaling again, using all my strength to overcome the pain. Inch by inch, I moved forward, determined to reach the top. As I made it, Ed gave me a high five with a big smile. Then we noticed the other riders approaching us very slowly.
Ed and I cheered for them while they were struggling to ride towards the top. We clapped and shouted words of encouragement, knowing they needed that extra push. It was tough, but everyone had stuck it out, and that was what mattered. One by one, our friends made it up the steep hill. When the last rider finally made it to the top, we all gathered together, breathless but happy. Laughing, we made our way to Dairy Queen for burgers and Becker’s for donuts, celebrating not just our victory, but the teamwork and determination that had carried us through.
