Jules Verne is widely regarded as ne f the fathers f science fictin. His “Extrardinary Vyages (航海)” series transprt readers n grand adventures t the far reaches f Earth and beynd. But Verne did mre than just tell entertaining stries — he als predicted ver 100 mdern-day inventins and technlgies in his writings.
Fr example, in the 1889 shrt stry In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture f a highly netwrked wrld with glbal multimedia cmmunicatins. He described the “phntelephte,” which sent sund and images ver great distances. The main character, Fritz Naplen Smith, is able t easily cmmunicate via this technlgy with his wife n anther cntinent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly t see his wife despite the distance that separated him frm her. Mrs. Smith immediately appeared n the telephtic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes mist with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grunded adventure tales represented a new apprach t imagining the future thrugh fictin. Unlike ther writers f his day wh penned mre fanciful r supernatural stries, Verne aimed fr realism in his futuristic visins, always basing them n cutting-edge science and his wn extensive research. This laid the fundatin fr the “hard science fictin” f the 20th century and beynd.
Verne is ften thught f as a technlgical ptimist, a champin f scientific prgress and innvatin. But his writings als reveal anther perspective. Many f his stries feature a brilliant but mad scientist whse inventins ultimately bring mre harm than gd. Captain Nem in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) t vilently attack ships. Fr Verne, human nature determined whether technlgy wuld be a frce fr gd r a surce f destructin.
The spirit f adventure in Verne’s timeless stries will live n, cntinuing t inspire generatins t push the bundaries f the pssible and create the wrld f tmrrw. That is perhaps the greatest achievement f the extrardinary vyages f Jules Verne.
24. Hw des Mr. Smith get in tuch with his wife?
A. Via a sund-image cmmunicatin device.
B. By sailing a crss-cntinental submarine.
C. Thrugh traditinal handwritten letters.
D. By driving fast vehicles t visit her.
25. Hw did Verne’s writing differ frm that f ther writers at his time?
A. He based his stries n realistic science and research.
B. He preferred fanciful and unrealistic plts.
C. He fcused n supernatural events.
D. He nly wrte abut ptimistic futures.
26. What can we infer abut Verne frm Captain Nem’s stry?
A. He is cnfident in human nature.
B. He is supprtive f scientific advance.
C. He is different frm the writers f his time.
D. He is aware f the danger f technlgy.
27. What is the mst suitable descriptin f Jules Verne accrding t the passage?
A. Sensitive and psitive-minded. B. Imaginative and frward-thinking.
C. Creative and strng-willed. D. Adventurus and fantasy-seeking.

Imagine a herd f 100 life-sized elephant sculptures, each crafted by native Indian artists, traveling arund the wrld. This is The Great Elephant Migratin — a campaign that uses a unique cmbinatin f art, cnservatin and cultural heritage t raise awareness abut wildlife prtectin and the imprtance f living in harmny with nature.
By transfrming public spaces with these striking sculptures, The Great Elephant Migratin aims t inspire a glbal mvement t prtect endangered species and prmte sustainable cexistence between humans and wildlife.
Each elephant in the migratin is a perfect replica（复制品）made by The Cexistence Cllective, a cmmunity f 200 native Indian craftsmen frm the Nilgiri Bisphere Reserve. Over the past five years, this cllective has beautifully brught t life every elephant they live alngside, capturing each ne in sculptural detail.
The sculptures are made frm Lantana camara, an invasive plant species causing significant eclgical damage in India. By using this material, the prject nt nly transfrms a prblem int art but als helps in the large-scale remval f Lantana frm prtected areas, freeing up mre space fr wildlife and cntributing t frest restratin.
The migratin began its march in the US n July 4, 2024, and is set t cver several lcatins acrss Nrth America and cnclude in Ls Angeles, Califrnia, in September 2025. At each stp, the herd transfrms public spaces, inviting lcal cmmunities and visitrs t engage with the sculptures and the stries they represent. The migratin serves as a vivid metaphr fr the real-life migratins f animals, which are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change.
The Great Elephant Migratin is mre than a visual sight; it’s a call t actin. Funds raised thrugh the sale f the elephant sculptures will supprt cnservatin prjects arund the wrld, particularly thse prmting cexistence with wildlife.
What’s the aim f The Great Elephant Migratin?
A. T intrduce Indian craftsmanship glbally.
B. T highlight the threats faced by Asian elephants.
C. T prmte a glbal wildlife cnservatin initiative.
D. T advcate art as a universal language f cmmunicatin.
29. What des the underlined “a prblem” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. The decline f the ppulatin f elephants.
B. The lack f awareness abut wildlife cnservatin.
C. The limited space available fr animal habitats.
D. The damage caused by invasive plant species.
30. Hw d lcal cmmunities get invlved in the campaign during the tur?
A. By dnating t fund wildlife prtectin.
B. By creating elephant sculptures in persn.
C. By learning abut real-life animal migratins.
D. By explring cnservatin stries behind sculptures.
31. What might be the best title fr the text?
A. The Dangers f Lantana Camara in India
B. Elephant Migratin: Art Meets Cnservatin
C. A Glbal Tur f Life-Sized Animal Replicas
D. Hw Indian Artists Make Elephant Sculptures

Can yu tell fact frm fictin nline? In a digital wrld, few questins are mre challenging than fighting misinfrmatin. As an educatin researcher and frmer high schl histry teacher, I knw that histry class can stimulate critical thinking—but nly if teachers and schls understand what it really means.
Sme might cnsider critical thinking an ability that teachers can encurage. Or they might be referring t specific skills—fr instance, that students shuld learn a set f steps t take t assess infrmatin nline. Cgnitive (认知的) scientists see critical thinking as a specific kind f reasning that invlves prblem-slving and making sund judgments. It can be learned, but it relies n specific cntent knwledge.
Since cntext is key t critical thinking, learning t analyze infrmatin abut current events likely requires knwledge abut plitics and histry, as well as practice at tracing surces. Frtunately, that is what scial studies classes are fr.
Scial studies researchers ften describe this kind f critical thinking as “histrical thinking”: a way t evaluate evidence abut the past and assess its reliability. In scial studies classrm students can make relatively quick prgress n sme f the surface features f histrical thinking, such as learning t check a text’s date and authr.
Scial studies classrms can als build what researchers call “civic nline reasning.” Fact-checking is cmplex. It is nt enugh t tell yung peple that they shuld be careful nline, r t trust sites that end in “.rg” instead f “.cm.” Rather than learning general principles abut nline media, civic nline reasning teaches students specific skills fr evaluating infrmatin abut plitics and scial issues.
Therefre, the slutin lies nt in teaching critical thinking as a separate skill, but in preserving and strengthening traditinal scial studies educatin that cmbines backgrund knwledge with analytical capabilities. Only then can we effectively prepare students t distinguish truth frm fictin in ur digital wrld.
32. Hw des the writer view critical thinking?
A. It naturally develps ver time.
B. It is a kind f step-by-step learning.
C. It is a frm f cntent-based reasning.
D. It imprves with teachers’ encuragement.
33. Why can scial studies encurage critical thinking?
A. They fcus n past evidence. B. They questin general principles.
C. They develp fact-checking skills. D. They prvide trustwrthy websites.
34. Which can be cnsidered “civic nline reasning” accrding t the text?
A. Trusting nline news withut tracing surces.
B. Assessing public matters via fact-checking.
C. Dismissing scial media as unreliable.
D. Emplying AI t spread news stries.
35. What slutin des the authr suggest?
A. Emphasizing scial studies learning. B. Highlighting histrical knwledge.
C. Applying traditinal scial skills. D. Teaching cmmunicatin techniques.

Ways t Build Yur Future Creditwrthiness
Many cuntries tday have scial credit systems t encurage peple t be trustwrthy. China’s scial credit system is n exceptin. It guides citizens t behave well and puts necessary limits n serius dishnest behavir. It weighs heavily in yur everyday life.
36 Here are sme simple and practical tips.
● 37 Scial credit starts with whether yu keep yur wrd. Whether it’s a small prmise at schl r a frmal agreement, d what yu say yu’ll d. If yu break prmises n purpse r refuse t pay back debts, it will leave a mark n yur scial credit recrd, and later it may affect yur studies, jb hunting, r even travel.
● Fllw public rules in daily life. Imprper acts in public include playing lud music n the subway, littering, and jumping queues. 38
● Manage yur mney and persnal infrmatin respnsibly. Gd financial habits build a steady credit histry. Pay yur utility（公共事业）bills and credit card fees n time, and avid verspending r getting int heavy debt. 39 If yur infrmatin is leaked r stlen, yur scial credit may take an unexpected hit.
● Take part in meaningful public welfare activities. Small vluntary acts, such as cmmunity service and bld dnatin, reflect yur sense f scial respnsibility. 40
Ultimately, a gd scial credit recrd isn’t built in a day — it cmes frm being reliable in bth yur persnal and public life ver time.
A. What qualities help peple win public trust?
B. Always stay hnest and hnr yur prmises.
C. S hw can yu keep a gd scial credit recrd?
D. Try t perfrm perfectly t win praise frm thers.
E. These warm deeds will als imprve yur persnal credit.
F. Als, be careful with yur ID and bank card details.
G. They are nt just implite but will lwer yur credit scre.

Liam had never liked hspitals. But every Thursday afternn, he walked thrugh the duble drs f the wards in Natinwide Children’s Hspital, carrying a wrn guitar and a bag full f puppets (木偶). After lsing his yunger sister t bld cancer five years earlier, Liam started vlunteering as a hspital entertainer—quietly giving laughter where it was mst needed.
He wasn’t lud, r particularly funny. But he was gentle, patient, and kind. Mst kids smiled eventually with his cmpany, even the shy nes. When Liam played tgether with them, the kids were wild with jy. Sme clapped alng t his sngs. Sme asked t try the puppets themselves. Almst all dctrs and nurses said his visits were better than medicine t sme degree.
But actually, there was ne patient he culdn’t quite reach: Ava, a ten-year-ld girl with a ntebk always clutched (紧抓) t her chest. She rarely spke, rarely smiled, and never made eye cntact t anyne. She watched Liam’s puppet shws frm her bed, silent and still, shwing n interest in anything arund at all. Her drawings, thugh, tld anther stry—skies full f stars, animals in suits, and peple with wings. S strange was she that ther kids als kept a distance frm her.
Week after week, Liam kept trying. He used every puppet vice he knew, frm silly, funny, t serius. He even brught in a little red hat fr his main puppet, Charlie, hping t make her laugh. Still, the girl gave n reactin.
Then ne Thursday, as Liam packed up t leave, he nticed smething new n her nightstand: a drawing f Charlie—the puppet with the red hat—hlding hands with a girl wh lked a lt like Ava. Liam felt a wave f warmth and surprise flded int his heart.
He smiled and quietly left a nte beside it: “Lks like he made a friend.”
The next week, as Liam played his guitar as usual, Ava finally pened her muth.
“Des yur puppet have a name?” she asked, s sftly that he almst thught he imagined it.

Liam was s surprised that he almst drpped the guitar. He managed t steady his hands and replied with a gentle smile, “His name is Charlie.” Then he carefully picked up Charlie and began t make the puppet wave at Ava. “Charlie says hell,” he said sftly. Ava’s eyes lit up slightly, and fr the first time, she made eye cntact with Liam. Encuraged, Liam spent the rest f the visit sharing stries abut Charlie’s adventures, and Ava listened intently, even letting ut a few small giggles. Befre he left, Ava shyly shwed him mre f her drawings, and Liam praised each ne sincerely. Frm that day n, Ava became mre pen, and their friendship grew with each weekly visit.
Years later, Ava became a vlunteer in that same hspital.Remembering hw Liam’s kindness had tuched her during her darkest days, she wanted t bring the same warmth t ther children. She wuld sit by the bedsides, sharing stries, shwing her drawings, and listening t the kids’ thughts. When she saw a withdrawn child, she didn’t give up easily. Instead, she patiently fund their interests and slwly pened their hearts. Just as Liam had nce dne fr her, Ava became a surce f light fr thse in need, passing n the lve and hpe that had been given t her.
