UNESCO’s World Heritage List has been updated for 2024, and Europe’s newest listings, some of Europe’s
lesser-known yet culturally significant sites, are well worth exploring.
Via Appia, Italy
Also known as “the Queen of roads”, this 500-mile stretch is the oldest Roman road. It connects the Italian
capital to Southern Italy’s seaports and speeds the growth and development of new settlements while driving
agricultural production and trade. Journeying up this road is a transportation through time, with the original paving
stones reminding us of Italy’s old times.
Schwerin Residence Ensemble (建筑群), Germany
A picture-perfect image of traditional German architecture surrounded by Lake Schwerin, this cultural
ensemble comprises 38 of Schwerin’s most striking landscapes and architecture. The architecture of Schwerin
captures the essence of 19th-century Germany with its public gardens and cultural buildings tied together by the
grand Schwerin Castle.
The Flow Country, Scotland
In Scotland lies one of the world’s most untouched blanket bog (沼泽) landscapes. With around 500,000 acres
of bog pools and ancient plants, The Flow Country is one of the world’s biggest carbon stores, crucial in the fight
against climate change. On foot is how you can experience the dramatic views of this lesser-known landscape and
diverse wildlife species closely.
Moravian Church Settlements, Germany and UK
Gracehill was a village in Northern Ireland founded by the Moravians in 1759. Guided tours of Gracehill Old
School and the Moravian Church offer visual insights into traditional, Moravian architecture. In Germany, the
living Moravian heritage can be felt in the museums and church halls of Herrnhut, the birthplace of the Moravian
Church.

B
Hearing the speeding cars passing us, I had to focus on the sound of my uncle’s bicycle leading the way. At
thirty, with my retinas (视网膜) dying from an eye disease, driving a car was impossible and I couldn’t give up the
freedom of riding my bike.
Uncle Fred pedalled steadily. I biked a few inches behind. He shouted directions at each intersection.
Suddenly, his voice rose with urgency, “Carol, stop! A car is turning.”
When we reached our destination, my shoulders ached from the ride. As I sat next to Uncle Fred, he cleared
his throat and said, “Carol, did you think about getting a trained Seeing Eye dog? It can give you independence.”
He knew I was afraid of dogs. Words stuck in my throat. But his voice cracked and planted the seed of an idea. My
world shrunk as my blindness grew worse. Luckily, I had a good sense of direction, allowing me to visualize
neighborhood routes. This skill could be an advantage when working with a dog.
After calculating, I finally called the guide dog school. The admission application arrived, but I still wasn’t
sure. One day, I phoned my friend Robert, a longtime guide dog user in my town. He shared his positive
experiences. Somehow, his words convinced me to give it a try.
During the training, the dog trainer’s coaching and each successful walk with the dogs built my confidence. As
my guide dog Misty and I bonded, my shoulders relaxed. When I returned home, Uncle Fred was the first to meet
Misty. Misty sat at our feet waving her tail. She must have picked up on the positive energy that circled us like a
hug. Misty drove away my anxiety as I slowly opened my heart to her. Just as Uncle Fred had predicted,
overcoming my fear gave me the opportunity for more independence. My new confidence came from using a guide
dog, allowing me to walk tall. Uncle Fred’s advice moved my sense of joy from my bike to my dog.

In surveys over the past couple of years, Gallup researchers have found only about a third of U. S. workers
feel engaged with their jobs. It’s a concern for companies and the economy. Fortunately, researchers have identified
a simple solution: Recognize your employees’ achievements.
Across a number of industries, employees having high-quality recognition on the job were 45% less likely to
have left that job between 2022 and 2024. “Imagine how demoralizing it would be if you’re doing things at work
that nobody sees and you feel like nobody cares about,’’ says Martin, senior director at Workhuman, which tracked
the career paths of more than 3,400 workers over two years.
When it comes to recognition, people feel less lonely when their contributions are praised, which in turn keeps
them from seeking work elsewhere. The survey asked respondents if they felt stressed the previous day. Those who
said they felt recognized on the job reported lower levels of stress than those who said they were not.
Another finding emerging from the surveys is that high-quality feedback can fuel professional development.
That was Andy Hernandez’s experience. He was working in car financing in Greenville, trying to figure out how to
get ahead, when he decided to learn Excel to use it at work. He began pitching ideas using his newly acquired
skills. Managers liked what he was doing and told him as much. It motivates me to know that all this extra stuff
I’m doing gets recognized; it’s also helping me show that I, m ready for the next step,” he says. He rose through the
ranks, eventually becoming a team leader. He says he looked for opportunities to show appreciation for his team.
There are generational differences when it comes to the desire for feedback, Gallup found in 2024. Younger
workers, who feel less attached to their workplaces than their parents, have a higher expectation of appreciation.
Fortunately for them, company leaders are also increasingly recognizing the importance of praise in the workplace.
In 2024, Workhuman found 42% of senior leaders reporting their organizations value employee recognition, up
from 28% in 2022.

. What did Gallup researchers reveal about U. S. workers?
A. They give positive work feedback.
B. They desire high income for their work.
C. They feel less devoted to their work.
D. They’re concerned about U. S. economy.
9
. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Discouraging. B. Inspiring. C. Misleading.
0. What benefit did learning Excel bring to Andy?
A. It made him judge his team in a positive way. B. He welcomed each suggestion objectively.
C. It enabled him to be put in charge of a firm. D. He was recognized and motivated to go on.
D. Entertaining.

A revolution in weather forecasting could soon see warnings of coming heatwaves, storms or other extreme
events accompanied by specific information on the role climate change has played in fuelling them. The shift would
help bring the reality of our warming planet to the general public.
Key to this idea is the growing field of attribution science (归因科学), which involves examining extreme
weather events after the fact to detail the impact of climate change. It involves simulating an event twice, under
real-world conditions and in a fictional world with no human-caused climate change. The difference between those
two situations reveals the extent to which rising emissions (排放) made matters worse. Now, researchers want to go
further and apply attribution science to events before they even happen.
At the UK weather service, the Met Office, Peter Stott and his colleagues are doing this with weather
forecasting models, comparing real-world forecasts with ones based on a fictional world unaffected by human
influence. The goal is to provide the public with weather and climate information at the same time. “So, the forecast
shows how the weather information relates to climate change, and the impacts it will mean for them locally.”
Bernat at the Institute of GeoSciences in Spain has experimented with a different approach, using artificial
intelligence-powered weather forecasts. Together with colleagues, he ran the AI-enabled approach on three past
extreme events: the 2018 Iberian heatwave, Hurricane Florence in the US in 2018, and Storm Ciaran in the UK and
other parts of northern Europe in 2023. The AI models correctly predicted that all three extreme events would
occur, but underestimated their size. Bemat says the AI approach is currently most accurate when considering
heatwaves but more limited for complex systems such as a tropical storm.
But Bernat says AI weather forecasts are rapidly improving. He says this AI-based approach would allow
attribution analysis to be much more widely used, helping to expand people’s understanding of how extreme events
are changing.
1
2. What will be added to weather forecasting after the revolution?
A. The damage extreme weather events cause to the environment.
B. Effective measures in preventing extreme weather events.
C. The effect of climate change on extreme weather events.
D. Specific ways for the public to fight against climate change.
1
3. What’s the purpose of the work of Peter’s team?
A. To build a model to produce climate information.
B. To connect local weather with climate change.
C. To predict the degree of local carbon emissions.
D. To apply AI to the prediction of extreme events.
1
4. What is Bernat’s attitude toward AI weather forecasts?

A. Unclear.
B. Dismissive.
C. Doubtful.
D. Approving.

5. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Climate Information Is Added to Weather Forecasts
B. AI Technology Will Be Used in Predicting Weather Events
C. Emissions Are Predicted to Fuel Extreme Weather Events
D. Weather Forecasts Enjoy a Breakthrough Fuelled by AI

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most Americans eat ultraprocessed (深加工的) foods every day. These are foods that you cannot make at
home because they contain flavors and chemicals that change the taste or feel of the food. They are usually high in
salt, sugar and fat.
1

Being overweight is one such result and that may lead to diabetes and heart disease. Other possible
health risks include depression and dementia. One recent study suggested that eating these foods may raise the risk
of early death.
Food manufacturers argue that processing increases food safety and food supplies.
17
But many
studies suggest that diets high in ultraprocessed foods are tied to poor health results. For example, in one study,
people eating ultraprocessed food gained an average of about 1 kilogram during the study period. 18
Dr. Neena, director of a food policy program, said such foods are often made to be both low-cost and very
tasty. “You just can, t stop eating them,” she said.
19
They can make regulations and rules to limit salt in
these foods and control how advertisers sell the foods to children.
Neena suggests buyers should check information printed on food containers and make choices based on the
current state guidelines.
20
Meanwhile, fruits and vegetables which are least processed do us good, though
they may not taste delicious.
A. It also provides a diverse and nutritious diet easily.
B. For example, food with added sugar isn’t great for us.
C. Eating such foods may lead directly to poor health results.
D. A small study was carried out at a health center for a month.
E. Leaders should make full use of their power to change policies.
F. Whole-grain bread and yogurt are highly processed, but nutritious.
G. People eating only unprocessed foods during the time lost about 1 kilogram.

Among the chaos of Hurricane Francine, a dramatic rescue unfolded on live television. On the evening of
Wednesday, September 11, Miles Crawford, an off-duty emergency nurse in Lakeview, Louisiana,
he learned someone was 22 in a sinking pickup truck in floodwaters just 200 feet from his home.
At around 8:45 p. m., Crawford received a(n) 23 text from his brother, saying that a news crew
accidentally caught a(n) 24 scene. A vehicle dived into a nearby canal with the driver stuck in it.
