National Poetry Month Started in 1996, National Poetry Month is now held every April to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. The signature education project, Dear Poet, helps teachers and students engage with the art of poetry. Poem-a-Day Poem-a-Day is the daily digital poetry series featuring previously unpublished poems by today’s talented poets each year. On weekdays, poems are accompanied by commentary by the poets. The series highlights classic poems on weekends. Launched in 2006, Poem-a-Day is now distributed via email and social media to 350, 000+ readers free of charge. National Poem in Your Pocket Day In 2002, the Office of the Mayor, in partnership with the New York City Departments of Cultural Affairs and Education, initiated Poem in Your Pocket Day, a time for New York City residents to select a poem, carry it with them, and share it with others throughout the day. In 2008, the Academy of American Poets took the initiative national, encouraging individuals around the country to join in and channel their inner poet. Poetry & the Creative Mind Poetry & the Creative Mind program features legendary actors, artists, and public figures sharing their favorite poems. This year, the 19th annual Poetry & the Creative Mind will be presented online, making it accessible to poetry lovers everywhere. 1. What do Poem-a-Day and Poetry & the Creative Mind have in common?

Poem-a-Day. C. National Poem in Your Pocket Day. D. Poetry & the Creative Mind. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了美国诗人学会的一些节目，诗人学会通过这些节目来支持美国诗人并提高当代诗歌的鉴赏力。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Poem-a-Day部分中“Launched in 2006, Poem-a-Day is now distributed via email and social media to 350, 000+ readers free of charge.(2006年推出的“每日诗歌”现在通过电子邮件和社交媒体向35万多名读者免费分发)”以及Poetry & the Creative Mind部分中“This year, the 19th annual Poetry & the Creative Mind will be presented online, making it accessible to poetry lovers everywhere.(今年，第19届“诗歌与创意思维”将在网上举行，让各地的诗歌爱好者都能参与其中)”可知，Poem-a-Day和 Poetry & the Creative Mind的共同点是都可以在网上获取。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三部分中“In 2008, the Academy of American Poets took the initiative national, encouraging individuals around the country to join in and channel their inner poet.( 2008年，美国诗人学会在全国范围内采取了主动，鼓励全国的个人加入进来，引导他们内心的诗人)”可知，美国诗人学会让“口袋里的诗”成为了一个全国性的项目，故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，National Poetry Month始于1996；Poem-a-Day始于2006；National Poem in Your Pocket Day始于2002；Poetry & the Creative Mind在今年是第19届，所以它始于2003，因此最早的是National Poetry Month，故选A。 B There can be no doubt that Stephen King, New York Time’s Best-Selling author, has found success in many aspects, but it wasn’t always like this. King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning. When he was 2 years old, his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact, he never came back, he had abandoned his family. This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own. Ruth was forced to move often, desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family, and she had to rely on relatives most of the time. One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back, he wasn’t even able to speak a single word, it seemed he was hurt mentally or something, but he still got the courage to continue forward. It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him. King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist (入伍) again the next fall, which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things. People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature, in fact whenever Stephen’s mom used to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored. Stephen King’s love of stories was developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha. In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel “Carrie”, which is scary. The rest followed from after that as he published many amazing books like The Shining, IT, Firestarter, and Cujo. All of these books became instant classics and got their own movie and television shows adaptions. 4. What is the main reason leading Stephen King to become a best-selling author? A. His in-born writing talents. B. His unfortunate childhood. C. His excellent promotion skills. D. His mom’s miserable experiences. 5. What left Stephen King not even speaking a single word? A. He was knocked down by a passing train. B. He was badly criticized by a close classmate. C. He was depressed by the constant moves. D. He was heart-struck by the pass-away of a friend. 6. What does the underlined word “demotivated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Discouraged. B. Refreshed. C. Embarrassed. D. Aroused. 7. Why didn’t Stephen’s mom hire a babysitter? A. The family was too poor to hire a babysitter. B. The children were too naughty to be looked after. C. The children could actually entertain themselves. D. The children were young enough to care for themselves. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述斯蒂芬·金虽然经历了不幸的童年，然而正是这种不幸的童年使得他见证并积累了众多的写作素材，从而创作出旷世杰作。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，从斯蒂芬·金的生活经历可知，斯蒂芬·金经历了不幸的童年：2岁时父亲离家而去、见证母亲独自抚养作者及其哥哥的艰辛、亲历好友被火车撞倒离世、虽因病辍学，随后一年又不得已被征入伍等等，他见证并积累了众多的写作素材，从而创作出旷世杰作，所以斯蒂芬·金成为畅销书作家的主要原因是他不幸的童年。第三段“Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things.(虽然斯蒂芬·金不认为自己的童年有什么特别的，但他确实说过他总是被可怕的东西迷住了。)”和最后一段“In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel “Carrie”, which is scary. (1973年，斯蒂芬·金出版了他的第一部小说《魔女嘉莉》，开始了他惊人的成功之旅，这部小说是恐怖的。)”也印证了这一推断。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him.(原来，他的一个朋友被火车撞死了，这给他留下了情感上的伤疤。)”可知，一位朋友的去世使斯蒂芬·金非常伤心。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前半句“King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist (入伍) again the next fall,(后来，金因为一些严重的健康问题而辍学，并被告知他必须在第二年秋天再次入伍，)”可知，金后来因为一些严重的健康问题而辍学，这是一件令人泄气的事，所以demotivated意为Discouraged“使泄气”之意。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature, in fact whenever Stephen’s mom used to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored.(人们过去常常以他们对文学的热爱来承认金一家，事实上，每当斯蒂芬的妈妈出去时，她都不会雇保姆，因为孩子们过去常常互相读小说，这样他们就不会感到无聊。)”可知，孩子们通过给彼此读故事来“自娱自乐”（entertain themselves），不需要成人照顾。故选C。 C Sometimes we only appreciate something when we realize we may lose it. That is the story of the Everglades. A shallow slow-moving river, the Everglades once covered about 18,000 square miles of southern Florida. Until the 1900s, few people lived in the grassy wetlands. Not much was understood about the unique balance of nature that existed there. Plants, creatures, and water had formed a remarkable ecosystem. By the early 1900s, Florida’s pleasant winters attracted more people. Visitors became new permanent residents. They built homes and roads. The conditions looked good for farming, so the newcomers planted large agricultural crops. But South Florida’s cycle of flooding was a problem. To address that, developers attempted to drain (排水) the land. They also built structures to control water levels and flow. Those changes made it easier for more people to live year-round in South Florida. However, they also disturbed life in the Everglades, which depends on freshwater regularly refilling the land. The area’s growing human population needed freshwater. And large farms consumed large quantities of freshwater. By the mid-1900s, water levels in southern Florida began to go down. Lack of freshwater wasn’t the only problem. As more and more land was developed for people and farms, the Everglades’ historic boundaries contracted. Loss of habitat and hunting threatened the survival of native species in the Everglades. Some people hoped that the government’s recognition might save the Everglades. They fought for it. Everglades National Park was established in 1947. It became the first park in the United States created for its biodiversity. Now, Everglades National Park protects 1.5 million acres along the southern tip of Florida. An amazing variety of creatures live there. About 360 different species of birds have been sighted in the park. Nearly 300 different species of fish have been identified. About 40 species of mammals and 50 species of reptiles inhabit the park. Nature still rules in the Everglades, a place worth understanding, appreciating, and protecting. 8. What was the Everglades like before the 1900s? A. Naturally wild. B. Partly explored. C. Completely lifeless. D. Thickly populated. 9. What problem did new residents cause for the Everglades? A. A cycle of flooding. B. Pollution of freshwater. C. Possible extinction of native species. D. The extension of historic boundaries. 10. Why are the figures mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To attract visitors to the park. B. To stress the great power of nature. C. To call for more efforts to protect nature. D. To show the successful conservation of the park. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. How people adapted to life in the Everglades. B. How Everglades National Park was established. C. How humans harmed and saved the Everglades. D. How the ecosystem of the Everglades was formed. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了人类如何伤害和拯救大沼泽地。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Until the 1900s, few people lived in the grassy wetlands. Not much was understood about the unique balance of nature that existed there. Plants, creatures, and water had formed a remarkable ecosystem.”（ 直到20世纪，很少有人住在长满青草的湿地上。人们对那里存在的独特的自然平衡了解不多。植物、生物和水形成了一个引人注目的生态系统。）可知，大沼泽地在20世纪以前是自然野生的状态。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Loss of habitat and hunting threatened the survival of native species in the Everglades.”（栖息地的丧失和狩猎威胁着大沼泽地本地物种的生存。）可知，新居民给大沼泽地带来的问题是本地物种可能灭绝。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now, Everglades National Park protects 1.5 million acres along the southern tip of Florida. An amazing variety of creatures live there. About 360 different species of birds have been sighted in the park. Nearly 300 different species of fish have been identified. About 40 species of mammals and 50 species of reptiles inhabit the park.”（ 现在，大沼泽地国家公园保护着佛罗里达州南端150万英亩土地。那里生活着各种各样的生物。公园里发现了大约360种不同的鸟类。已经确认了近300种不同的鱼类。公园内栖息着大约40种哺乳动物和50种爬行动物。）可知，最后一段的数字表明了展示公园保护的成功。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“By the early 1900s, Florida’s pleasant winters attracted more people. Visitors became new permanent residents. They built homes and roads. The conditions looked good for farming, so the newcomers planted large agricultural crops.”（ 到了20世纪初，佛罗里达宜人的冬天吸引了更多的人。游客成为新的永久居民。他们建造房屋和道路。那里的条件看起来很适合耕种，所以新来的人种植了大量的农作物。）根据第三段“As more and more land was developed for people and farms, the Everglades’ historic boundaries contracted. Loss of habitat and hunting threatened the survival of native species in the Everglades.”（ 随着越来越多的土地被开发用于人类和农场，大沼泽地的历史边界缩小了。栖息地的丧失和狩猎威胁着大沼泽地本地物种的生存。）根据最后一段“Now, Everglades National Park protects 1.5 million acres along the southern tip of Florida. An amazing variety of creatures live there. About 360 different species of birds have been sighted in the park. Nearly 300 different species of fish have been identified. About 40 species of mammals and 50 species of reptiles inhabit the park.”（ 现在，大沼泽地国家公园保护着佛罗里达州南端150万英亩的土地。那里生活着各种各样的生物。公园里发现了大约360种不同的鸟类。已经确认了近300种不同的鱼类。公园内栖息着大约40种哺乳动物和50种爬行动物。）可知，短语主要介绍了人类如何伤害和拯救大沼泽地。故选C项。 D Influenced by factors like school funding, sports facilities, teacher resources and safetyconcems, traditional physical education was limited to static (静态的) scenes and closed gymsand playgrounds, which lacked interaction and feedback functions. PE curiculum was also restricted to basic sports like ball games, track and field and gymnastics. However, the emergence and application of new technologies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technology, greatly expand and innovate sports scenes, providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible “on-site, on- campus, online” integrated new sports world. IT can build online virtual learning environments for students, creating teaching scenes hard to achieve in physical world. Many schools have already partnered with technology companies to create different teaching scenes using digital sports products. The University of South Florida has cooperated with the VR sports training company Sense Arena, allowing students to practice tennis on its globally pioneering VR tennis training platform. Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and VR touching racket (球拍) which imitates the weight and feel of a real tennis racket. The platform features 35 training modes imitating various scenes in real-life tennis matches, including crowd noise, dazzling sunlight, shadows and wind. Athletes can engage in various forms of training, such as skill practice, technical analysis and match imitation. Such virtual sports teaching space further enhances the experience of PE learning. Technology-based physical education not only serves ordinary students’ physical health but also addresses the needs of special groups in sports, especially students who cannot participate in regular PE classes due to physical, psychological or social adaptation issues. Many schools offer specialized sports programs to disabled students, like the “Pathways to Inclusion” program launched by the University of Queensland, which tailors various sports activities to different disabilities, such as blind football and wheelchair hockey. This is made possible with the support of sports technology, as different symptoms require the use of different sports equipment. Through scientific, healthy and joyful educational concepts, technology-empowered PE classes convey the values of creating and enjoying a personalized experience, developing a sports education where everyone participates and benefits. 12. How do new technologies change traditional PE class according to paragraph 1? A. By investing more in basic sports. B. By combining it with academic study. C. By making dynamic PE class possible. D. By replacing PE teachers with AI teachers. 13. Which of the following services can Sense Arena provide? A. Real-life tennis matches. B. Virtual headsets and rackets. C. Imitative distracting conditions. D. Sufficient sports space on campus. 14. What does “Pathways to Inclusion” program feature? A. Professional knowledge about psychology. B. Technology-assisted sports for the disabled. C. Interactive activities with ordinary students. D. Personalized medical treatment for disabilities. 15. What is the author’s writing purpose of the text? A. To advertise a new VR product. B. To raise public awareness of physical education. C. To stress the importance of equality among students. D. To introduce a new application of technology in PE class. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了体育课上引入的一种新的技术应用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Influenced by factors like school funding, sports facilities, teacher resources and safetyconcems, traditional physical education was limited to static(静态的) scenes and closed gymsand playgrounds, which lacked interaction and feedback functions. (受学校经费、体育设施、教师资源、安全等因素的影响，传统的体育教育仅限于静态场景和封闭的体育馆、操场，缺乏互动和反馈功能)”和“However, the emergence and application of new technologies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technology, greatly expand and innovate sports scenes, providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible ‘on-site, on- campus, online’ integrated new sports world. (然而，虚拟现实(VR)、3D技术等新技术的出现和应用，极大地拓展和创新了体育场景，为构建灵活的‘现场、校园、在线’一体化新体育世界提供了可能)”可知，新技术使动态体育课成为可能。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The platform features 35 training modes imitating various scenes in real-life tennis matches, including crowd noise, dazzling sunlight, shadows and wind. (该平台拥有35种训练模式，模拟现实网球比赛中的各种场景，包括人群噪音、耀眼的阳光、阴影和风)”可知，Sense Arena可以提供模仿分散注意力的条件。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many schools offer specialized sports programs to disabled students, like the “Pathways to Inclusion” program launched by the University of Queensland, which tailors various sports activities to different disabilities, such as blind football and wheelchair hockey. (许多学校为残疾学生提供专门的体育项目，如昆士兰大学推出的‘Pathways to Inclusion’项目，该项目为不同的残疾学生量身定制各种体育活动，如盲人足球和轮椅曲棍球)”可知，“Pathways to Inclusion”项目的特色是为残疾人运动进行技术辅助。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“However, the emergence and application of new technologies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technology, greatly expand and innovate sports scenes, providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible ‘on-site, on- campus, online’ integrated new sports world. (然而，虚拟现实(VR)、3D技术等新技术的出现和应用，极大地拓展和创新了体育场景，为构建灵活的‘现场、校园、在线’一体化新体育世界提供了可能)”可知，作者的写作目的是介绍体育课上引入的一种新的技术应用。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Peloton star Ben Alldis shares his “forever exercise” tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. ● Start small. Something as simple as going for a walk in nature is incredibly beneficial for our mental and physical health. ____16____ Be honest about where you’d like to get to, and put small steps in place to make improvements. ● Mix up your training. There’s real benefit in just moving your body through things like walking to work and gardening.

I like to talk about “energy givers” versus “energy takers”. Energy takers are things like spending too much time on social media and binge drinking; while exercise and good food are energy givers. I was an athlete growing up, then I went into finance in my 20s and lost myself totally. ____18____ But when I changed my lifestyle, my productivity levels increased. ● Give priority to sleep. I read Matthew Walker’s book Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams. ____19____ I saw a dramatic influence on my productivity levels and ability to just function. So I’ll look at what I did last night before I went to bed, and then look at the impact it had on my sleep. Understand your body clock. Everyone has a different rhythm — some people work better later in the day, others prefer to get up early. So the most important thing is finding the right time for you. ____20____ If you prioritise your health as much as you prioritise other things, and schedule it in your diary like a meeting, it’s far more likely to happen. A. I’ve learnt to schedule workouts. B. If cycling’s your usual thing, with tennis or yoga. C. If you run out of motivation, change your workout routine. D.

Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food”. The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refuses to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat. The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be eliminated. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. 36. A. abuse B. addition C. emission D. policy 37.

He had beaten me countless times during practice, but I wanted to prove him wrong for a change. “That’ll wipe the smile off his face!” I thought, even as fear started to pour in my stomach. He was well-known around the school for being the fastest runner on the track-and-field team, while I tailed behind in second place- a respectable position, but not yet good enough to surpass (超过) him. Nevertheless, I shook his hand and said, “Challenge accepted!” However, negative thoughts flooded my mind. Would I be able to win? After all, Julius’ speed of light would guarantee a sure win! Soon, all my friends and the teachers had gathered around to watch the challenge. “Oh no, I will lose and be embarrassed in front of the whole school!” I spoke in a low voice. Nevertheless, I turned my worried expression into a determined smile. To keep myself from sinking into self-doubt, I did some stretches and jumping jacks to warm up my body. Finally, the crucial moment arrived. The referee(裁判)fired the starting gun and we took off like a shot. Adrenaline(肾上腺素) rocketed through my body as I launched myself forward. True to my expectations, Julius caught up with me easily and was in the lead! “No way will I lose! Victory, here I come!” I motivated myself as anger coursed through my body. As the race progressed, my eyes locked onto Julius, his athletic form effortlessly moving ahead. His quick steps and strong focus showcased his impressive skills. Yet, I refused to let doubt consume me. A fierce fire burnt within, fueled by a mix of unwillingness to admit defeat and anger. How dare he assume he was unbeatable?

Julius, out of breath, reached out to shake my hand. “That was a brilliant race! I hope that I can race with you again.” Soon after, I collapsed as everyone came to congratulate me.

B There can be no doubt that Stephen King, New York Time’s Best-Selling author, has found success in many aspects, but it wasn’t always like this. King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning. When he was 2 years old, his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact, he never came back, he had abandoned his family. This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own. Ruth was forced to move often, desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family, and she had to rely on relatives most of the time. One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back, he wasn’t even able to speak a single word, it seemed he was hurt mentally or something, but he still got the courage to continue forward. It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him. King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist (入伍) again the next fall, which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things. People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature in fact whenever Stephen’s mom used to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored. Stephen King’s love of stories was developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha. In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel “Carrie”, which is scary. The rest followed from after that as he published many amazing books like The Shining, IT, Firestarter, and Cujo. All of these books became instant classics and got their own movie and television shows adaptions. 4. What is the main reason leading Stephen King to become a best-selling author? A. His in-born writing talents. B. His unfortunate childhood. C. His excellent promotion skills. D. His mom’s miserable experiences. 5. What left Stephen King not even speaking a single word? A. He was knocked down by a passing train. B. He was badly criticized by a close classmate. C. He was depressed by the constant moves. D. He was heart-struck by the pass-away of a friend. 6. What does the underlined word “demotivated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Discouraged. B. Refreshed. C. Embarrassed. D. Aroused. 7. Why didn’t Stephen’s mom hire a babysitter? A. The family was too poor to hire a babysitter. B. The children were too naughty to be looked after. C. The children could actually entertain themselves. D. The children were young enough to care for themselves. C Sometimes we only appreciate something when we realize we may lose it. That is the story of the Everglades. A shallow slow-moving river, the Everglades once covered about 18,000 square miles of southern Florida. Until the 1900s, few people lived in the grassy wetlands. Not much was understood about the unique balance of nature that existed there. Plants, creatures, and water had formed a remarkable ecosystem. By the early 1900s, Florida’s pleasant winters attracted more people. Visitors became new permanent residents. They built homes and roads. The conditions looked good for farming, so the newcomers planted large agricultural crops. But South Florida’s cycle of flooding was a problem. To address that, developers attempted to drain (排水) the land. They also built structures to control water levels and flow. Those changes made it easier for more people to live year-round in South Florida. However, they also disturbed life in the Everglades, which depends on freshwater regularly refilling the land. The area’s growing human population needed freshwater. And large farms consumed large quantities of freshwater. By the mid-1900s, water levels in southern Florida began to go down. Lack of freshwater wasn’t the only problem. As more and more land was developed for people and farms, the Everglades’ historic boundaries contracted. Loss of habitat and hunting threatened the survival of native species in the Everglades. Some people hoped that the government’s recognition might save the Everglades. They fought for it. Everglades National Park was established in 1947. It became the first park in the United States created for its biodiversity. Now, Everglades National Park protects 1.5 million acres along the southern tip of Florida. An amazing variety of creatures live there. About 360 different species of birds have been sighted in the park. Nearly 300 different species of fish have been identified. About 40 species of mammals and 50 species of reptiles inhabit the park. Nature still rules in the Everglades, a place worth understanding, appreciating, and protecting. 8. What was the Everglades like before the 1900s? A. Naturally wild. B. Partly explored. C. Completely lifeless. D. Thickly populated. 9. What problem did new residents cause for the Everglades? A. A cycle of flooding. B. Pollution of freshwater. C. Possible extinction of native species. D. The extension of historic boundaries. 10. Why are the figures mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To attract visitors to the park. B. To stress the great power of nature. C. To call for more efforts to protect nature. D. To show the successful conservation of the park. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. How people adapted to life in the Everglades. B. How Everglades National Park was established. C. How humans harmed and saved the Everglades. D How the ecosystem of the Everglades was formed. D Influenced by factors like school funding, sports facilities, teacher resources and safetyconcems, traditional physical education was limited to static (静态) scenes and closed gymsand playgrounds, which lacked interaction and feedback functions. PE curiculum was also restricted to basic sports like ball games, track and field and gymnastics. However, the emergence and application of new technologies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technology, greatly expand and innovate sports scenes, providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible “on-site, on- campus, online” integrated new sports world. IT can build online virtual learning environments for students, creating teaching scenes hard to achieve in physical world. Many schools have already partnered with technology companies to create different teaching scenes using digital sports products. The University of South Florida has cooperated with the VR sports training company Sense Arena, allowing students to practice tennis on its globally pioneering VR tennis training platform. Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and VR touching racket (球拍) which imitates the weight and feel of a real tennis racket. The platform features 35 training modes imitating various scenes in real-life tennis matches, including crowd noise, dazzling sunlight, shadows and wind. Athletes can engage in various forms of training, such as skill practice, technical analysis and match imitation. Such virtual sports teaching space further enhances the experience of PE learning. Technology-based physical education not only serves ordinary students’ physical health but also addresses the needs of special groups in sports, especially students who cannot participate in regular PE classes due to physical, psychological or social adaptation issues. Many schools offer specialized sports programs to disabled students, like the “Pathways to Inclusion” program launched by the University of Queensland, which tailors various sports activities to different disabilities, such as blind football and wheelchair hockey. This is made possible with the support of sports technology, as different symptoms require the use of different sports equipment. Through scientific, healthy and joyful educational concepts, technology-empowered PE classes convey the values of creating and enjoying a personalized experience, developing a sports education where everyone participates and benefits. 12. How do new technologies change traditional PE class according to paragraph 1? A. By investing more in basic sports. B. By combining it with academic study. C. By making dynamic PE class possible. D. By replacing PE teachers with AI teachers. 13. Which of the following services can Sense Arena provide? A. Real-life tennis matches. B. Virtual headsets and rackets. C. Imitative distracting conditions. D. Sufficient sports space on campus. 14. What does “Pathways to Inclusion” program feature? A. Professional knowledge about psychology. B. Technology-assisted sports for the disabled. C. Interactive activities with ordinary students. D. Personalized medical treatment for disabilities. 15. What is the author’s writing purpose of the text? A. To advertise a new VR product. B. To raise public awareness of physical education. C. To stress the importance of equality among students. D. To introduce a new application of technology in PE class. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Peloton star Ben Alldis shares his “forever exercise” tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. ● Start small.

The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refuses to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat. The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be eliminated. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food.

He had beaten me countless times during practice, but I wanted to prove him wrong for a change. “That’ll wipe the smile off his face!” I thought, even as fear started to pour in my stomach. He was well-known around the school for being the fastest runner on the track-and-field team, while I tailed behind in second place- a respectable position, but not yet good enough to surpass (超过) him. Nevertheless, I shook his hand and said, “Challenge accepted!” However, negative thoughts flooded my mind. Would I be able to win? After all, Julius’ speed of light would guarantee a sure win! Soon, all my friends and the teachers had gathered around to watch the challenge. “Oh no, I will lose and be embarrassed in front of the whole school!” I spoke in a low voice. Nevertheless, I turned my worried expression into a determined smile. To keep myself from sinking into self-doubt, I did some stretches and jumping jacks to warm up my body. Finally, the crucial moment arrived. The referee(裁判)fired the starting gun and we took off like a shot. Adrenaline(肾上腺素) rocketed through my body as I launched myself forward. True to my expectations, Julius caught up with me easily and was in the lead! “No way will I lose! Victory, here I come!” I motivated myself as anger coursed through my body. As the race progressed, my eyes locked onto Julius, his athletic form effortlessly moving ahead. His quick steps and strong focus showcased his impressive skills. Yet, I refused to let doubt consume me. A fierce fire burnt within, fueled by a mix of unwillingness to admit defeat and anger. How dare he assume he was unbeatable? With every step, my determination solidified(变坚定), and my resolve to surpass him strengthened. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Faster!” I screamed and in that instant, I felt like Superman. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Yi Rou! Yi Rou! Yi Rou!” The whole school was cheering my name! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
