Many people imagine a life of comfort, but best friends Sandy Hazelip and Ellie Hamby see things a little bit differently. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Sandy said. “If you don’t use it, you lose it.” Those are words to live by for these two people! Ellie and Sandy are from the same city, but they met while traveling in Africa many years ago. Ellie, an international documentary photographer, has traveled to 107 countries and visited all 7 continents (洲) for her work. Sandy, or Dr. Sandy as she’s known, is a physician. Two years ago, the now-81-year-olds started planning an adventure they called “Around the World at 80”, inspired by the Jules Verne novel, “Around the World in 80 Days”. Their goal was to travel to all seven continents, see 9 Wonders of the World, and visit 18 countries in about two-and-a-half months. Unluckily, their plans were put on hold for a few years due to COVID-19 pandemic, but in 2023 they finally hit the road with a new motto: “81 and still on the run!” So far they’ve seen the Northern Lights, stood in the shadow of the Easter Island statues, played with penguins in Antarctica, gone dog-sledding, flown over Mt. Everest in an airplane, and enjoyed many other fabulous short journeys. Everywhere they go, they chat with the people they meet and make new friends, which is all part of their mission. “The Number One thing is meeting people,” said Ellie. “We love people. We just love to talk to people, and the world is full of the greatest, most exciting, most interesting people.” Nothing slows these two seniors down, not even total knee replacements for both of them. Ellie documents their journey with photos on Facebook, and they maintain a blog. Sandy and Ellie hope to inspire others to keep moving into their golden years! 1. What do Sandy’s words in paragraph 1 mean? A. Don’t waste your time. B. Youth and old will never agree. C. Never too old to learn. D. Happy once, one year younger. 2. What can we know about Sandy and Ellie according to the text? A. They didn’t meet until their journey started. B. They wrote a book to document their journey. C. Their paln was once put off by the pandemic. D. They have travelled around the world in 80 days. 3. What’s the most important thing for them when travelling to different places? A. Completing all tasks. B. Playing with animals. C. Enjoying short journey. D. Meeting new people. 4. According to the passage, what kind of people are the two seniors? A. Determined and inspiring. B. Confident and selfless. C. Strict and professional. D. Responsible and caring. B For some people, October is Octobear. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds. Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign. The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore, ”Fitz said. Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼)in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far. Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.” 5. Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska? A. It gained the most pounds. B. It was the heaviest. C. It presented the best photos. D. It was the most famous. 6. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the popularity of fat bears. B. To review the history of the event. C. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. D. To explain the role of live webcams. 7. What can we learn about Katmai’s bears? A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They face a population decline. C. They remain difficult to be seen. D. They have a stable food source. 8. Which can be the best title for the text? A Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful B. Brown Bears; Winter Survival Is Crucial C. Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion D. Katmai’s Bears: A Special Beauty Contest 四、 完形填空(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Last year, John and I discovered that our plumbing (水管) had failed, flooding our home.
