Culture B I finally climbed into bed at 1: 20 in the morning. My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are a bit far from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? Around two o'clock, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally, I made it to the door and tried several times to pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coatrack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coatrack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I jumped up the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through.What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape , with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned the neighbourhood. 24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply? A . Better safe than sorry. B. It never rains but it pours. C.A lost chance never returns. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 25. What was the author doing when water flooded in? A. Celebrating his birthday. B. Sleeping in the basement. C. Placing sandbags by the door. D.Playing with electronic devices. 26.Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape? A. Making his way to the door. B. Finding a coatrack. C. Keeping the door from shutting. D.Squeezing through the gap. 27. How did the author feel when standing on the street? A. Sad and shocked. B. Annoyed and anxious. C. Surprised and disappointed. D. Puzzled and awkward. C Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, but also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is a living example that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired(退休) at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he wanted to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So, to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to change according to his age. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a match for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he has not suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 28. What can we learn about Kanazawa from paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He seldom exercised when he was young. C. He had serious health problems in his youth. D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. 29. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To make a living B. To help change his diet. C. To cheer up his wife. D. To recover from illness. 30. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body? A. He went on a diet. B. He turned to the doctor for advice. C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent up to six hours training every day. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C. Understanding: A Secret to Happiness D. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport. Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from Switzerland. All participants were required to answer questions on height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed(评估) using the World Health Organization (WHO) Well-Being Index,and the average well-being score for all participants was 17. The researchers divided sports participation into low (0—3.5 hours a week), average (3.6— 10.5 hours), high (10.6— 17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours).The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores. Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers. The researchers suggest that their study stresses the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can provide information for guideline groups who produce recommendations on sports practice for teenagers. 32.What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Useless. B. Important. C. Reasonable. D. Harmful. 33. What do the researchers find out? A. To much sport is less healthy than what is traditionally believed. B. Both low and high sports participation help teenagers improve confidence. C. Very high activity groups tend to get higher well-being scores. D. Low spirit participation is proved to be the cause of obesity. 34.Where is this text probably taken from? A. A research paper. B.A health magazine. C. A business report. D.A fitness diary. 35.What is the text mainly about? A. Measures to improve teenagers’ well-being. B. Concerns of physicians about teenagers' well-being. C. Importance of physical activities on teenagers'well-being. D. Relationship between sports participation and teenagers' well-being. E Research on the effects of age on language learning often leads to claims that it’s impossible to learn a language after the age of 18, yet these claims lack scientific evidence. While certain language processing functions peak during childhood, others develop later, with some even experiencing a new growth between the ages of 50 and 75. The definition of language learning and its goals also play a important role. If the aim is to participate comfortably in daily social interactions, research suggests that fluency in a new language can be achieved at any age with sufficient study and exposure. Learning a language at different stages of life comes with advantages and disadvantages. Starting before the age of 10 allows for the potential of acquiring a native-like accent. However, introducing a second language to children late in verbal(言语的)development may pose challenges. Between the ages of 10 and 18, there is a unique opportunity to intuitively (直觉地) understand grammar and develop a comprehensive and unconscious understanding of a new language’s rules. Language acquisition （语言习得） during this period can also boost confidence and encourage a reflective attitude towards language changes. Studying an additional language in adulthood involves more translation and a tendency to think in one’s native language first. Language anxiety and hesitation may also arise. However, adulthood offers advantages such as peak communication skills, literary knowledge, and socio-cultural understanding. Learning a new language at the age of 50 and above may be advantageous in terms of certain mental skills that continue to improve until the mid-to-late 70s. This age group can quickly grasp the basics of a language, although more research is needed to confirm this theory. In summary, learning a language is a lifelong process. While certain aspects may become more challenging with age, there is no age limit that makes language learning futile. Achieving an intermediate level in a target language can be rewarding, even if some mistakes are made. Starting early can enhance phonology and grammar skills, but continued exposure and usage throughout life are vital (重要的) for becoming a comfortable speaker. Ultimately, it’s never too late to start or relearn a language. 36. In which situation can one achieve fluency in a new language at any age? A. In grammar class. B. In writing practice. C. In everyday communication . D. In vocabulary research. 37. Which of the following can we learn about language learning? A. Early learning delays children’s language development. B. Learning during teenage years helps build up confidence. C. Learners beyond fifty can gain literary knowledge quickly. D. Learning in adulthood helps to acquire peak translation skills. 38. What does the underlined word “futile” in Para 7 mean? A. Fruitless. B. Complex. C. Time-consuming. D. Painful. 39. What’s the best title for the text? A. Why Language Learning Has Age Limits B. Why Age Plays a Vital Role in Language Learning C. How Language Learning Occurs at Different Life Stages D. How Learning a Language Changes Depending on Your Age 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good, it is strange that so few people write them anymore. At work, a thank-you letter to employees is unbelievably effective. It costs little and has no side effects. The effort involved in writing letters is very low while the pleasure on receiving them is very high. ___40___ Doug Conant, manager of Campbell’s Soup Company since 2001, knows the power of thank you letters. He said that every day he works with an assistant, searching the company for people deserving thanks. ___41___ Over the past 10 years he has sent 30,000 thank-you letters to his employees — more than 10 each day. The reward(回报) is huge: his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years. ___42___ There seem to be three reasons. Firstly, chief executives (主管) running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others. ___43___ Secondly, they aren’t close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly, they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation. In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead, sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding. You need to think to yourself about a time when someone sends you a thank-you letter and how much it means to you. ___44___ A. He then writes them a thank-you letter. B. Why are thank-you letters so important? C. You may ask what side effects exactly mean. D. This makes them an excellent way to appreciate and inspire staff. E. But if these letters are so inspiring, why don’t more managers write them? F. Always remember to “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!” G. Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in northern Arizona, where it has the most beautiful landscapes on the planet.
