Thousands of runners did up their running shoes and poured out from the starting line while crowds cheered along the course. Marathons in China are picking up the pace again.
According to the Chinese Athletics Association, a total of 133 marathons across the country have been registered for the first six months of the year. On March 26, more than 300,000 runners took part in 26 marathon events nationwide, reported China Daily.
Teenagers have also taken part in marathons. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old from Suqian, Jiangsu, loves running. He got first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon held on April 2.
For Xu, the race meant months of training and preparation. He runs about 30 to 40 kilometers in local stadiums each week ahead of the run.
“Unlike the 800-meter run at school which is more about speed, a marathon tests a runner’s endurance (耐力) and psychological quality ,” he told Teens.
When he felt tired during the race, he told himself not to give up. “In long-distance running, the only opponent you have to beat is yourself,” Xu added.
Apart from one’s willpower, kindness from the audience also plays a big part in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course really encouraged her.
“When things were hard people from across the world cheered me on. Even if it was just the words, ‘keep it up’, it meant a lot to me and I was inspired to keep going to the end,” Li told Teens.
She believes that running a marathon is about staying focused on the final goal, not the suffering along the way. “Likewise, our life is also a marathon,” Li said.
4. The numbers in paragraph 2 show that ________.
A. our physical fitness is getting worse
B. marathons are getting popular in China
C. more and more old people love running
D. China will cancel many more marathons next year
5. How can we describe Xu Qian?
A. Lazy and ambitious. B. Serious and emotional.
C. Determined and hardworking. D. Shy and competitive.
6. How did Li Zhouzi feel about the support from the audience?
A. It made her lose focus.
B. It didn’t make a big difference.
C. It taught her about sportsmanship.
D. It gave her strength and encouraged her.
7. What is Li Zhouzi’s attitude toward life?
A. Pain and suffering must be avoided.
B. All the pain and tears are life’s nightmares.
C. The process is more important than the final result.
D. Focus on the goal and don’t be afraid of the difficulties.
C
Every winter, Siberian cranes (白鹤) migrate from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ habitats.
“In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ habitat,” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, told China Daily.
To help deal with the problem the local government has built 70 hectares of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian.
Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands. Known as the “Earth’s kidneys (肾脏)”, wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity. The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater.
Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭), an endangered species, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021.
8. The bird population is rising in Nanchang because ________.
A. the city offers more food for birds B. extreme weather hasn’t hit the city
C. the city becomes increasingly warm D. climate change doesn’t affect the place
9. What is the main role wetlands play?
A. Saving endangered animal species. B. Looking after water and biodiversity.
C. Providing shade for migratory birds. D. Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution.
10. Paragraph 4 is mainly written to show ________.
A. when the Wetlands Protection Law was introduced
B. why the bird population in Nanchang rises quickly
C. how China deals with water pollution and overpopulation
D. what China has done to protect migratory birds and wetlands
11. What do the examples in paragraph 5 show?
A. Migratory birds add biodiversity to China.
B. New bird species leave China for winter.
C. China has completed its wetlands protection.
D. China’s environmental protection is successful.
D
From the moon to Mars, scientists have been looking for water —the key to life —in the solar system for decades. Recently, they have turned to Jupiter (木星)!
On April 14, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE spacecraft successfully lifted off from French Guiana in South America. JUICE, short for “Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”, will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
The three moons are believed to have big oceans of liquid water under their icy shells. According to ESA, the water on these moons could be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans. The mission “will change our understanding of the solar system”, wrote Scientific American.
In 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might send water as far as 160 kilometers into space. That gave scientists the idea of studying the icy moons of Jupiter.
The oceans under these moons are likely to be tens of kilometers deep. But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice, making it very difficult to study them. Although JUICE cannot land on the surface, it has lots of high-tech equipment to study the moon’s environment, including spectral imaging (光谱成像) tools and radar. They could give more data on things like the thickness of the oceans, their salt content, and their distance from the icy shells above, reported Phys.org.
“The main goal is to understand whether there are habitable (可居住的) environments among those icy moons and around a giant planet like Jupiter,” JUICE team member Olivier Witasse said during a press conference on April 6.
12. What do we know about JUICE?
A. It left for Jupiter from the US. B. It got its name from how it looks.
C. It will become one of Jupiter’s moons. D. It will collect data from Jupiter and its moons.
13. The water on Europa might ________.
A. cover a small part of its surface
B. all come from its icy shell
C. have been thrown into space
D. be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans
14. Which of the following words can replace the word “trapped” in paragraph 5?
A. wandered B. wept C. kept D. declined
15. The JUICE spacecraft was launched mainly to ________.
A. find a possible way to solve the water shortage on Earth
B. find out if it is possible for life to live on Jupiter’s moons
C. explore if Jupiter has living things similar to human beings
D. test ways of keeping water on Europa, Ganymede and Callisto

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。
Nowadays with so much news available, many people consume media in an automatic, unconscious state-similar to knowing you drove home but not being able to recall the trip. ____16____. These tips can help you become wiser news consumers.
Seek out your own news
Like most people, you probably get a fair amount of your news from social media. You should change that. Their goal is to maximize the time you spend on their sites and apps, getting advertising income. That means instead of presenting you with the most important news of the day, social media feed you what will hold your attention. ____17____. These organizations actually produce news, usually in the spirit of serving the public interest.
Use basic mathematics
Untrustworthy news often use some data to make unreal statements. ____18____. For example, a widely spread rumour (谣言) falsely declared 10,150 Americans were killed by illegal immigrants in 2019. On the surface, it’s hard to know whether it is true, but one way to start is to think about finding out how many total murders there were in the US in 2019.
____19____
Humans are biased(倾向性的) to believe what’s in front of their eyes. Video content is considered more trustworthy-even though some videos can be very misleading. ____20____. Seeing and hearing should not necessarily be believing. Treat video content with just as much doubt as news text, checking any facts with news from a trusted source.
A. Watch out for biases
B. Believe video content
C. You’ll see a more complete range of information
D. Think carefully about how you determine something is true
E. Simple mathematical calculations can help you better spot false data
F. Therefore, regularly visit trusted news apps and news websites directly
G. However, you can develop habits to control your news intake more consciously

There was no sign that the earthquake was coming.
A 7.8 magnitude (震级) quake almost flattened the city, killing over thousands of lives in less than a few minutes.
In the midst of destruction and chaos, a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son Daniel was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the upsetting shock, he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel: “No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school. Everything looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the stones and bricks.
As he was digging, other anxious parents arrived, heartbroken, shouting desperately: “Mary!” “Sam!”
Some other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It’s too late!” “They’re dead!” “You can’t help!” “Go home!” “Come on! There’s nothing you can do here!” “You’re just going to make things worse!”
To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now?”
And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out, and explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Just go home!” To which this loving, determined father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The fire chief replied, “You’re angry and worried. I get it. But you are not helping by staying here. Just go home. We will help you find your son!” To which he replied, “But I promised my son I’ll always be there for him.”

Thousands of runners did up their running shoes and poured out from the starting line while crowds cheered along the course. Marathons in China are picking up the pace again.
According to the Chinese Athletics Association, a total of 133 marathons across the country have been registered for the first six months of the year. On March 26, more than 300,000 runners took part in 26 marathon events nationwide, reported China Daily.
Teenagers have also taken part in marathons. Xu Qian, a 15-year-old from Suqian, Jiangsu, loves running. He got first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon held on April 2.
For Xu, the race meant months of training and preparation. He runs about 30 to 40 kilometers in local stadiums each week ahead of the run.
“Unlike the 800-meter run at school which is more about speed, a marathon tests a runner’s endurance (耐力) and psychological quality ,” he told Teens.
When he felt tired during the race, he told himself not to give up. “In long-distance running, the only opponent you have to beat is yourself,” Xu added.
Apart from one’s willpower, kindness from the audience also plays a big part in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometer Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course really encouraged her.
“When things were hard, people from across the world cheered me on. Even if it was just the words, ‘keep it up’, it meant a lot to me and I was inspired to keep going to the end,” Li told Teens.
She believes that running a marathon is about staying focused on the final goal, not the suffering along the way. “Likewise, our life is also a marathon,” Li said.

Every winter, Siberian cranes (白鹤) migrate from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ habitats.
“In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these create food shortages in the cranes’ habitat,” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, told China Daily.
To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang to provide food during the winter for the cranes. The birds’ population has risen from about 3,000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years, according to Qian.
Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds and wetlands. Known as the “Earth’s kidneys (肾脏)”, wetlands play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and helping with biodiversity. The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans activities such as overgrazing (过度放牧) and giving out wastewater.
Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭), an endangered species, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021.

9. What is the main role wetlands play?
A. Saving endangered animal species. B. Looking after water and biodiversity.
C. Providing shade for migratory birds. D. Avoiding overgrazing and water pollution.
10. Paragraph 4 is mainly written to show ________.

C. how China deals with water pollution and overpopulation
D. what China has done to protect migratory birds and wetlands
11. What do the examples in paragraph 5 show?

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands.

From the moon to Mars, scientists have been looking for water —the key to life —in the solar system for decades. Recently, they have turned to Jupiter (木星)!
On April 14, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE spacecraft successfully lifted off from French Guiana in South America. JUICE, short for “Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”, will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
The three moons are believed to have big oceans of liquid water under their icy shells. According to ESA, the water on these moons could be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans. The mission “will change our understanding of the solar system”, wrote Scientific American.
In 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might send water as far as 160 kilometers into space. That gave scientists the idea of studying the icy moons of Jupiter.
The oceans under these moons are likely to be tens of kilometers deep. But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice, making it very difficult to study them. Although JUICE cannot land on the surface, it has lots of high-tech equipment to study the moon’s environment, including spectral imaging (光谱成像) tools and radar. They could give more data on things like the thickness of the oceans, their salt content, and their distance from the icy shells above, reported Phys.org.
“The main goal is to understand whether there are habitable (可居住的) environments among those icy moons and around a giant planet like Jupiter,” JUICE team member Olivier Witasse said during a press conference on April 6.
12. What do we know about JUICE?
A. It left for Jupiter from the US. B. It got its name from how it looks.
C. It will become one of Jupiter’s moons. D. It will collect data from Jupiter and its moons.
13. The water on Europa might ________.
A. cover a small part of its surface
B. all come from its icy shell
C. have been thrown into space
D. be as much as six times the amount in Earth’s oceans
14. Which of the following words can replace the word “trapped” in paragraph 5?
A. wandered B. wept C. kept D. declined
15. The JUICE spacecraft was launched mainly to ________.
A. find a possible way to solve the water shortage on Earth
B. find out if it is possible for life to live on Jupiter’s moons
C. explore if Jupiter has living things similar to human beings
D. test ways of keeping water on Europa, Ganymede and Callisto
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了JUICE宇宙飞船对木星极其卫星的探测成果等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“JUICE, short for “Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”, will collect data from Jupiter and its three moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.(JUICE是“Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer”的缩写,它将收集木星及其三颗卫星——木卫二、木卫三和木卫四的数据。)”可知,JUICE将收集木星以及木卫二、木卫三、木卫四的数据。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft found that Europa might send water as far as 160 kilometers into space.(1998年,美国宇航局的伽利略号宇宙飞船发现木卫二可能会将水送到160公里外的太空。)”可知,美国宇航局的伽利略号宇宙飞船发现木卫二可能会将水送到160公里外的太空。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第五段“But they are also trapped under tens of kilometers of ice, making it very difficult to study them.(但它们也trap数十公里的冰层下,这使得研究它们变得非常困难。)”可知,木卫二的液态水被trap在数十公里的冰层下,说明很难取到。trap作为动词,有“围困、困住”之意。A. wandered游荡、漫步;B. wept哭泣;C. kept保持、维持、处于;D. declined下降。四个选项中,只有kept含义与trapped相近。故选C项。
15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The main goal is to understand whether there are habitable (可居住的) environments among those icy moons and around a giant planet like Jupiter(主要目标是了解在这些冰冷的卫星和像木星这样的巨行星周围是否存在适合居住的环境。)”可知,JUICE飞船的目的是了解像木星这样的巨行星周围是否存在适合居住的环境。故选B项。
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。
Nowadays with so much news available, many people consume media in an automatic, unconscious state-similar to knowing you drove home but not being able to recall the trip. ____16____. These tips can help you become wiser news consumers.
Seek out your own news
Like most people, you probably get a fair amount of your news from social media. You should change that. Their goal is to maximize the time you spend on their sites and apps, getting advertising income. That means instead of presenting you with the most important news of the day, social media feed you what will hold your attention. ____17____. These organizations actually produce news, usually in the spirit of serving the public interest.
Use basic mathematics
Untrustworthy news often use some data to make unreal statements. ____18____. For example, a widely spread rumour (谣言) falsely declared 10,150 Americans were killed by illegal immigrants in 2019. On the surface, it’s hard to know whether it is true, but one way to start is to think about finding out how many total murders there were in the US in 2019.
____19____
Humans are biased(倾向性的) to believe what’s in front of their eyes. Video content is considered more trustworthy-even though some videos can be very misleading. ____20____. Seeing and hearing should not necessarily be believing. Treat video content with just as much doubt as news text, checking any facts with news from a trusted source.
A. Watch out for biases
B. Believe video content
C. You’ll see a more complete range of information
D. Think carefully about how you determine something is true
E. Simple mathematical calculations can help you better spot false data
F. Therefore, regularly visit trusted news apps and news websites directly
G. However, you can develop habits to control your news intake more consciously
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了明智获取新闻三种方法。
【16题详解】
上一句提到“如今人们可以接触到大量的新闻,许多人在一种自动的、无意识的状态下消费媒体——就像你知道自己开车回家,但却想不起旅行的经过一样。”下一句提到“这些措施能帮助你成为更明智的新闻消费者。”前后句意相反,所以空格处应为转折句,起到承上启下的作用,G选项“但是,你可以培养自己更有意识地控制接受信息的习惯。”切题,故选G项。
【17题详解】
后文提到“These organizations actually produce news…”,译为“这些组织实际上会生产新闻…”,所以这些组织是提供新闻的,由指示代词these可知,在这些组织在前文中就已提到,所以空格处应提到这些真正提供新闻的组织,且在空格之前提到很多社交媒体并不真正提供当天最重要的信息,而是吸引你的注意力从而达到打广告的目的,空格前后句意相反,所以空格处应有转折词,F项“因此,你应该直接访问值得信任的新闻软件和网站。”切题,故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据小标题“Use basic mathematics”可知,E项“简单的数学计算可以帮助你更好地识别错误的数据。”切题,故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据第一句“Humans are biased (倾向性的) to believe what’s in front of their eyes.”可知,本段主题与bias(偏见)有关,所以A项“注意偏见”切题,故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Seeing and hearing should not necessarily be believing. Treat video content with just as much doubt as news text, checking any facts with news from a trusted source.”可知,这部分是在讲即使是视频信息也要报以足够的怀疑,对来自受信任来源的信息也要检查,这是讲如何确定得到的信息是真实的,所以D项“仔细想想如何确定某件事是真实的”切题,故选D。
【点睛】对于一些七选五的小题,根据空格前后的名词、动词等对应选项中相同、相近或相反的词语就可以选出答案,例如第三题中小标题中的“mathematics”对应E项中的“mathematical”,故选E项。再例如第四题中第一句中的“biased”对应选项A中的biases,故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was no sign that the earthquake was coming.
A 7.8 magnitude (震级) quake almost flattened the city, killing over thousands of lives in less than a few minutes.
In the midst of destruction and chaos, a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son Daniel was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the upsetting shock, he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel: “No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school. Everything looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the stones and bricks.
As he was digging, other anxious parents arrived, heartbroken, shouting desperately: “Mary!” “Sam!”
Some other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school saying: “It’s too late!” “They’re dead!” “You can’t help!” “Go home!” “Come on! There’s nothing you can do here!” “You’re just going to make things worse!”
To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now?”
And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out, and explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Just go home!” To which this loving, determined father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The fire chief replied, “You’re angry and worried. I get it. But you are not helping by staying here. Just go home. We will help you find your son!” To which he replied, “But I promised my son I’ll always be there for him.”

Courageously, he went alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I’m fine. There are 13 other kids down here, Dad,” Daniel replied. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Courageously, he went alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for hours and hours. His hands were mushy and he could only see well in flashes. Right before he was about to pass out, he pulled back a large rounded rock and heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “DANIEL!” A response came from below, “Dad? It’s me, Dad!” This must be the most beautiful voice he’s ever heard in his whole life! “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked anxiously.
“I’m fine. There are 13 other kids down here, Dad,” Daniel replied. “We’re scared, hungry, and thirsty. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle and saved us.” The father realized that this was a tricky situation. He couldn’t risk causing another collapse down there. Fortunately, the firefighters were just nearby. The father shouted to the fire chief and signalled to them to come over. Then, the father helped the firefighters cautiously remove the rocks and pulled out the kids one by one. When everyone was safe and sound, Daniel threw himself into his father’s arms: “You did it, Dad! No matter what, I know you’ll be there for me!”
