• 1．World's Incredible Railways West Highland Railway，Scotland
     Running for about 193 kilometers.West Highland Railway Line is one of the "greatest hits" of the landscapes Scotland offers.The line can be enjoyed through the comfortable Caledonian Sleeper might train from London to Fort William，with the last stretch of the journey accompanied by breakfast.Remember to keep an eye out for stags（雄鹿）as they survey their kingdom.
     The Ghan，Australia
     Widely regarded as one of the world's greatest rail journeys，it runs weekly over a 2，979-kilometer route crossing the length of Australia from Adelaide in the south to Darwin in the Northern Territory.Each trip takes more than 53 hours，including extended stops in remote towns such as Coober Pedy for passengers to experience the Outback during off-train tours.
     Qinghai-Tibet Railway，China
     For centuries，known as "The Roof of the World"，Tibet was visited only by the hardiest travelers and explorers，but the opening of the remarkable Qinghai-Tibet Railway in 2006 created a permanent connection with the Chinese rail network.The 1，956 kilometer route from Xining to Lhasa tops out at the Tanggula Pass，5，068 meters above sea level.With its opening，direct trains run to Lhasa from Beijing in 40 hours and Shanghai 47 hours.

• 2．The set is simple：a little fabric，a chair，maybe some flowers.Its users are more complex：an American mother who takes her children to visit their Mexican father every weekend，and a nine year-old boy who wants to "have a memory of us together" before his father goes back to California.They pause what they're doing.sit for a photo，and leave with a printed copy.Behind the camera is Alexia Webster.a South African photographer who sets up street studios around the world.At Studio Transfronterizo，her project in Tijuana，Mexico，passing characters offer a look at life on the world's busiest land border.Every day nearly 100，000 people legally cross from Tijuana to San Diego，California，at the San Ysidro border.
     More than a decade ago Webster was photographing for the United Nations in a refugee（難民）camp in Kenya when a man told her he'd watched photographers visit for 15 years but didn't have a single picture of himself or his family.Many of Webster's subjects had escaped from war，leaving personal archives（檔案）behind.One photo could help them rebuild.
     In 2011，with a printer and a temporary studio on a corner in Cape Town，South Africa，Webster invited people to pose for a free session.She printed their pictures on the spot. "Primarily it's for them，for their kids，their grandkids，their lovers，their friends，" she says. "It's a record of who they are." Webster has since put up studios in other places，from the streets of Mumbai，India to a refugee camp in South Sudan.
     She gives few instructions from behind the camera. "The idea of the project is for people to rebuild their archives and reaffirm their identity，" Webster says. "I like them to determine how they want their photo to be.
  
  （1）What's Alexia Webster's job？

  
  A．Taking photos for passers-by.
  B．Rescuing children from the war zone.
  C．Selling cameras to travelers from America.
  D．Offering legal help to people crossing the border.
  （2）Where did Alexia Webster set up her first studio？

  
  A．In South Africa.
  B．In Mexico.
  C．In India.
  D．In South Sudan.
  （3）What is the purpose of the studios？

  
  A．To train young people as professional photographers.
  B．To offer passers-by a chance to reclaim their identity.
  C．To provide free legal consultation for families in need.
  D．To help refugees around the world to escape from war.

• 3．The first time that I met a blind scientist.I worked in a program for disabled students interested in pursuing STEM （Science，Technology，Engineering，Maths） research.Until that point，it had never occurred to me how blind students were prevented from receiving science education.My daily experience in classrooms consisted of professors drawing and writing on the board with the assumption that students in the class could see.But what about those students who cannot see or suffer from vision problems？
     A recent paper from Baylor University，led by Katelyn Baumer and Bryan Shaw，was inspired by exactly this problem.They designed a study to assess whether people could learn to recognize 3 D models，like those often used to teach science，with their mouths instead of with their eyes.
     A 2021 paper in Nature found that primates（靈長(zhǎng)類動(dòng)物）showed the same brain circuit activation（激活）when grasping objects with their hands and when moving an object with their tongues.This indicates that there may be underlying similarities of physical manipulations（操縱）of the hand and the mouth.
     Baumer and Shaw found that there was comparable touch recognition with hands to mouth manipulation recognition when using these models.365 college students and 31 primary school students participated in the study.The participants were blindfolded and then divided into two groups，one assigned to manipulate objects by hand，and one to manipulate the objects with only their mouths.Each participant was given a single model protein to study.They then were asked to identify whether each of a set of eight other protein models matched the original they were given.
     The research team saw that both age groups of students were able to successfully distinguish between models.Moreover，the accuracy of recalling the structures was higher in people who only assessed the models through mouth manipulation.
     Although this study did not involve blind or low-vision students，it sets the basis for expanding into them next.It may offer a way to have science become more accessible，which is the ultimate goal.
  
  （1）Who will most probably benefit from Baumer and Shaw's study？

  
  A．Professors.
  B．College students.
  C．Primary school students.
  D．Blind and low-vision students.
  （2）What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3？

  
  A．Explain a concept to readers.
  B．Provide supporting information.
  C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
  D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
  （3）What method is used in the study？

  
  A．Making comparisons.
  B．Doing surveys.
  C．Conducting interviews.
  D．Reviewing papers.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．A recent paper about STEM education.
  B．A protein model used in science teaching.
  C．A potential way for disabled students to learn science.
  D．An academic program for blind scientists to do research.

  A Mother's Heartfelt Note of Love Everything seemed to have changed for me when I entered high school.I never saw a single person I knew from middle school.At home I was just as lonely."My brothers and sister all fit in."I thought，coming in the door after another bad day at school."Why can't I？"
      Mom was there waiting for me."Karole，your bedroom's a disaster.Why can't you keep it clean？"The last thing I needed was criticism（批評(píng)） from my mother.What had happened to the mother who used to snuggle（偎依） with me on the sofa，loving me with complete acceptance，who thought everything I did was wonderful？I didn't bother trying to explain my unhappiness.It was easier to hide in my bedroom，without saying a word，as I did every afternoon.
      Clearing off some space，I sat down at my desk.Yet there was another thing I wasn't good at anymore.My grades had dropped along with my confidence.I turned to a new page in my notebook and started working out the first problem.Almost immediately，I saw I'd made a mistake."Wrong again!"I thought."You can't do anything right!"I tore the paper out of my notebook，balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket.The ball landed on the floor.I heard my mother's voice in my head，"Why can't you keep your room clean？"
      By the time I finished my homework，the floor was littered with crumpled（揉皺的） paper.It gave me a kind of satisfaction to see the mess I'd made，as if it was proof of all my shortcomings.Every time I looked at those crumpled balls，I reminded myself what a failure I was.But my unhappiness stayed hidden away，just like those mistakes.With my face a mask of indifference（漠不關(guān)心），no one knew what I was really feeling.Who would want to listen？
      One day，I came home to an empty house.It was a relief（解脫） not to be met with Mom's latest complaint. "Nothing I do is right in her eyes."I thought."Or anyone else's，including mine."
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；

  I sat down at my desk，staring at those words._________
