If you fancy something a bit more rural, then the green and pleasant land has plenty to offer. Goring Gap and the Thames Path If you’re in the mood for a gentle rural walk, the Thames Path is far from boring. The 5-mile footpath follows the curve of the river, winding past wildflower meadows (草地). Post-walk pub: Pangbourne’s seventeenth-century pub The Swan serves high-end dishes. Bag a table on the riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires. Box Hill To admire this spots rural views, first you’ve got to jump across 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the top of Box Hill, where the path begins. The total distance is 6.8 miles. Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie. A South Downs Ridge (山脊) If you’ve already done the classic Seven Sisters clifftop walk or can’t face all those hills, this is a long but lovely alternative. The route covering 14.3 miles snakes along a ridge and a river valley. Post-walk pub: There are always 10 real beers at the old-school pub The Wellington Chess Valley in the Chilterns Chess Valley in the Chiltern Hills isn’t home to any chess masters, but it used to produce a kind of water plant. This walk of 4.9 miles follows the river, winding through rolling meadows and woods. Post-walk pub: The George & Dragon is a simple old coaching pub on the High Street with a log fire, real beers and giant burgers. 1. Which of the following walks covers the shortest distance? A. Box Hill. B. A South Downs Ridge. C. Chess Valley in the Chilterns. D. Goring Gap and the Thames Path. 2. What do the listed scenic walks in the text have in common? A. The pubs are pretty and old-fashioned. B. Visitors can relax at special pubs after walks. C. There are rivers winding through the meadows. D. The food served there is expensive and of high quality. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A geography book. B. A travel brochure. C. A fashion website. D. A science magazine. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了伦敦四个步行旅游的方案，包括路线、距离和休息地等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。通过阅读文章可知，“Goring Gap and the Thames Path”中“The 5-mile footpath follows the curve of the river, winding past wildflower meadows.(这条5英里长的步道沿着河流的曲线蜿蜒经过野花草地)”的距离是5英里，“Box Hill”中 “The total distance is 6.8 miles.(总距离为6.8英里)”是6.8英里，“A South Downs ridge”中“The route covering 14.3 miles snakes along a ridge and a river valley.(这条路线全长14.3英里，蜿蜒于山脊和河谷之间)”是14.3英里，“Chess Valley in the Chilterns”中“This walk of 4.9 miles follows the river…(这条4.9英里的路沿着河走……)”是4.9英里，因此距离最短的是“Chess Valley in the Chilterns”。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，每一个步行旅游点都有提及“Post-walk pub(步行后酒吧推荐)”，因此可以看出每个步行道之后都有小酒馆，且根据描述“Post-walk pub: Pangbourne’s seventeenth-century pub The Swan serves high-end dishes. Bag a table on the riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires.( 步行后的酒吧：庞伯恩17世纪的酒吧The Swan供应高档菜肴。在河边收拾一张桌子，或者在篝火旁烤一烤)”，“Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie.(步行后的酒吧：盒子山上洞穴般的树有一个吸引人的菜单和巨大的啤酒花园，或在Denbies Winerie品尝一杯杜松山)”，“Post-walk pub: There are always 10 real beers at the old-school pub The Wellington.(散步后的酒吧：在老派的惠灵顿酒吧总有10种真正的啤酒)”，以及“Post-walk pub: The George & Dragon is a simple old coaching pub on the High Street with a log fire, real beers and giant burgers.(散步后的酒吧：乔治和龙是高街上一家简单的老教练酒吧，有篝火、真正的啤酒和巨大的汉堡)”可知， 17世纪的风格的、吸引人的菜单、十种啤酒、老式驿站，都是有特色的小酒馆，由此可推知，它们的共同点在于游客可以在散步后到有特色的酒吧放松。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，文章首段“There are plenty of walking routes in London. If you fancy something a bit more rural, then the green and pleasant land has plenty to offer.(伦敦有很多步行路线。如果你喜欢一些更乡村的东西，那么绿色和宜人的土地有很多东西可以提供)”揭示了文章话题，即步行旅游方案的话题，可以推论出这篇文章可能会出自旅游宣传册。故选B项。 B Aaron has performed in Germany, Korea, the Czech Republic and across the United States. His back flip (翻) earned him a place in “Guinness World Records”. Aaron doesn't use a skateboard to do his tricks. He sticks a perfect four wheeled landing with his wheelchair. That's quite an accomplishment for a kid who was born with spina bifida, a developmental birth defect (缺陷) that made him even unable to sit independently. One day, when he was eight, his friends encouraged him to roll down a shallow ramp (斜坡). It was a scary first ride. Aaron crashed his hands, but he was attracted. Six months later, after endless hard trying and training, he accomplished his first trick—lifting up one of the back wheels while crossing a barrier. “The more I rode, the better I became, though I have to admit that the process involved falling in every way possible,” says Aaron. When Aaron performed his first airborne 180 out of the box, Steve, his father, sensed an opportunity, videotaped the performance and sent it to the Internet. A letter soon arrived from John Box, founder of Colours’N Motion, encouraging him to call him directly whenever they needed anything. Aaron has a sponsor since. With his mother helping with scheduling, he has had the opportunity to travel within the US as well as internationally. He has attended summer camps for disabled children as a coach. “I know that I can be an inspiration for disabled kids,” says Aaron. “The message I want to convey to kids and adults is very simple: Always test your boundaries and don't let the disability restrict your capacities and possibilities.” 4. What happened when Aaron first tried to roll down a ramp? A. He crashed into his friend and got hurt. B. He became interested in the sport. C. He was too scared to try the sport again. D. He accomplished his first trick. 5. Who funded Aaron to achieve his goal? A. Steve. B. John Box. C. His friends. D. His mother. 6. Which of the following words best describe Aaron? A. Independent and cooperative. B. Ambitious and generous. C. Courageous and determined. D. Energetic and humorous. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Aaron: skating ability beyond disability. B. Aaron: inspiration for skating coaches. C. A boy working for “Guinness World Records”. D. A boy seeking to be an Internet celebrity. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，Aaron（亚伦）超越身体限制，练习滑板后空翻，挑战极限的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“One day, when he was eight, his friends encouraged him to roll down a shallow ramp (斜坡). It was a scary first ride. Aaron crashed his hands, but he was attracted.”（八岁那年的一天，他的朋友鼓励他滚下一个斜坡。这是一个可怕的短途旅程。Aaron摔伤了手，但他被吸引住了。），可知Aaron第一次试图从斜坡上滚下来时，他被滚下斜坡这项运动吸引住了。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“A letter soon arrived from John Box, founder of Colours’N Motion, encouraging him to call him directly whenever they needed anything. Aaron has a sponsor since.”（不久，Colours’N Motion创始人John Box寄来了一封信，鼓励他在他们需要什么的时候直接给他打电话。Aaron从那时起就有了赞助商。），可知John Box是Aaron的赞助商，资助Aaron实现他的目标。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“That's quite an accomplishment for a kid who was born with spina bifida, a developmental birth defect (缺陷) that made him even unable to sit independently.”（对于一个出生时患有脊柱裂的孩子来说，这是一个相当大的成就，脊柱裂是一种发育性出生缺陷，使他甚至不能独立坐着。），第三段中的““The more I rode, the better I became, though I have to admit that the process involved falling in every way possible,” says Aaron.”（“我翻得越多，我就变得越好，尽管我不得不承认这个过程涉及到各种可能的坠落，” Aaron说。）和最后一段中的“The message I want to convey to kids and adults is very simple: Always test your boundaries and don't let the "disability' restrict your capacities and possibilities.”（我想传达给孩子和成年人的信息非常简单：永远测试你的界限，不要让‘残疾’限制你的能力和可能性。），可知Aaron患有脊柱裂，不能独立坐着，且滑板后空翻涉及到各种可能的坠落，在这种身有残疾的情况下不顾危险还要继续追梦，说明他很勇敢且意志坚定。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段讲“身有残疾的Aaron，他的滑板后空翻为他赢得了“吉尼斯世界纪录”的一席之地”，第二段讲“什么激发了Aaron对滑板后空翻的热情”，第三段讲“Aaron不断练习滑板后空翻，得到了赞助去实现梦想”，第四段讲“Aaron希望他的行为给别人带来积极影响”，可知文章主要讲身有残疾的Aaron（亚伦）超越身体限制，练习滑板后空翻，挑战极限，并以此鼓励他人的故事。A项“Aaron：超越残疾的滑板能力”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A项。 C If the benefits of physical activity were made into a pill, everyone would be on it. Studies show that moving improves nearly every aspect of health: boosting sleep, strength, and mental well-being. Still, most people don’t exercise nearly enough. According to data published in 2023, less than a third of U.S. adults get the government-recommended amount of physical activity in their free time: at least 20 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per day, plus a couple of muscle-strengthening sessions each week. Why is it so tough to get people to do something so good for them? Physical limitations, health problems and modern life are certainly factors for many people. But research suggests there’s another factor: our brains don’t want us to exercise. For most of human existence, people had to be physically active to carry out the basic functions of life, such as finding food. Humans evolved (进化) to tolerate a high level of activity — but also to conserve energy for when movement was unnecessary, explains Daniel Lieberman, a human evolutionary biologist. As a society, we no longer move much in daily life, but the evolutionary instinct (本能) to conserve energy remains, Lieberman says. “That voice ‘I don’t want to exercise,’ is completely normal and natural,” he says. Physical-activity researcher Matthieu Boisgontier demonstrated that phenomenon in a 2018 study. He gave people control of a digital avatar (化身) while they were connected to brain-activity monitors. They were instructed to move the avatar away from images of sedentary (久坐的) behavior that appeared on screen and toward images of physical activity. The study found that avoiding sedentary behavior took more brain power, suggesting that we have an “automatic tendency” to pick relaxing over moving. That conclusion shows up repeatedly in research. Studies show, for example, that people consistently choose to take a lift instead of the stairs. “That natural instinct isn’t bad-it’s just that modern life gives us so many chances to give in to our preference for rest that we have reached an extreme that is no longer beneficial to our health,” Boisgontier says. 8. What do data published in 2023 suggest? A. U. S. adults have poor health awareness. B. The recommended activities are impractical. C. Most Americans lack sufficient physical activity. D. Muscle-strengthening sessions deserve attention. 9. What makes people unwilling to exercise according to Lieberman? A. The physical limitations. B. The basic structure of the brain. C. The convenient modern life. D. The natural energy-saving tendency. 10. What does the underlined part “that phenomenon” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Sedentary behavior took much brain power. B. Most people tend to avoid physical activity. C. Humans evolved for a high level of activity. D. Brain-related activities attract modern people. 11. What is Boisgontier’s attitude toward people’s physical inactivity? A. Doubtful B. Reserved. C. Approving. D. Opposed. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了数据表明大多数美国人缺乏足够的体育活动，文章分析了人们喜欢久坐的原因和专家对此的看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to data published in 2023, less than a third of U.S. adults get the government-recommended amount of physical activity in their free time: at least 20 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per day, plus a couple of muscle-strengthening sessions each week.(根据2023年公布的数据，不到三分之一的美国成年人在空闲时间进行了政府推荐的体育锻炼：每天至少20分钟的中等强度有氧运动，每周再加上几次肌肉强化训练)”可知，2023年公布的数据表明大多数美国人缺乏足够的体育活动。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As a society, we no longer move much in daily life, but the evolutionary instinct (本能) to conserve energy remains, Lieberman says. “That voice ‘I don’t want to exercise,’ is completely normal and natural,” he says.(利伯曼说，作为一个社会，我们在日常生活中不再经常活动，但节约能量的进化本能仍然存在。“那种‘我不想锻炼’的声音是完全正常和自然的，”他说)”可知，利伯曼认为，是自然节能趋势让人们不愿意锻炼。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“That voice ‘I don’t want to exercise,’ is completely normal and natural(那种‘我不想锻炼’的声音是完全正常和自然的)”以及画线句“ Physical-activity researcher Matthieu Boisgontier demonstrated  that phenomenon  in a 2018 study. (体育活动研究员马修·布瓦冈蒂埃在2018年的一项研究中证明了这一现象。)”可知，这一现象指代“大多数人倾向于避免体育锻炼。”这一现象。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““That natural instinct isn’t bad-it’s just that modern life gives us so many chances to give in to our preference for rest that we have reached an extreme that is no longer beneficial to our health,” Boisgontier says.(“这种自然本能并不是坏事，只是现代生活给了我们太多的机会去满足我们对休息的偏好，以至于我们已经达到了一个对健康不再有益的极端，”Boisgontier说)”可推知，Boisgontier对人们缺乏运动的态度是反对。故选D。 D Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships. With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deep fake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 12. Why does the author mention Black Mirror? A. To advertise Microsoft’s virtual products. B. To lead to the discussion about AI resurrection. C. To prove the predictive power of science fiction. D. To highlight the advancement of artificial intelligence. 13. Which of the following aspects is the primary focus of paragraph 2? A. The popularity of AI-resurrection technology. B. Reasons for making a digital version of Bao Rong. C. Challenges of developing a life-like digital human. D The process of creating an AI-powered virtual figure. 14. What can we learn about AI-resurrection technology from paragraph 3? A. It still has some technical limitations. B. It helps people build new real-life relationships. C. It can be a person’s obstacle to recovering from sadness. D. It enables individuals to preserve good memories of loved ones. 15. What does the author suggest people do? A. Strengthen the management of the technology. B. Apply the technology to making pictures and videos. C. Put the technology into the market as soon as possible. D. Educate the public about the potential risks of technology. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。得益于技术进步，最新的人工智能技术带来了通过虚拟形式重现亲人的希望。然而，通过人工智能复活已故亲人也伴随着许多争议。因此，要建立适当的法规和道德标准，以确保人工智能复活技术的使用是安全和负责任的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. (十多年前，科幻连续剧《黑镜》讲述了一个利用人工智能带回亲人的故事。得益于技术进步，最新的人工智能技术带来了通过虚拟形式重现亲人的希望。)”可知，作者提到《黑镜》是为了引出话题，即关于人工智能复活的讨论。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. (最近，据透露，著名音乐家包小柏为他的女儿创作了一个数字版本。2021年，女儿因一种罕见疾病去世，享年22岁。在微软亚洲人工智能中国分公司Xiaoice的帮助下，包小柏将女儿包容重新塑造成一个人工智能虚拟人物。包小柏、他的家人和团队竭尽全力拼凑出容的照片、音像记录和叙述记忆。在经历了数千次试错之后，他们展示了一个会说普通话和英语的数字人。)”可知，本段主要讲了包小柏和家人及其团队是如何创建人工智能驱动的虚拟人物的，即创造过程。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. (尽管如此，研究人员警告说，不断与已故亲人的人工智能版本互动可能会影响自然的悲伤过程，使个人陷入否认状态。这可能会导致长期的悲伤和其他心理健康问题。)”可知，人工智能复活技术可能影响一个人从悲伤中恢复。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.

She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she pushed the door open and entered the house, she found her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sunk down into the sofa. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, tears rolling down her cheeks. At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, fatigued but relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’ arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” she expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently. It dawned on Jenny that Mum’s love was invisible and intangible, but always surrounded us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了珍妮与母亲吵架而离家出走，在感到饥饿而没钱吃饭的时候，一个商贩给了她一碗面条，珍妮非常感动，觉得自己母亲非常的无情不关心她，而商贩的话让珍妮觉得自己对母亲太粗鲁了，于是下定决心回家向母亲道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“快到门口时，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny回家后的心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“这时，妈妈回来了，轻轻地抚摸着她的头发，把她的思绪拉了回来。”可知，第二段可描写Jenny给妈妈道歉，母女俩和好的过程。 2. 续写线索：感到疲惫和伤心——想起争吵的场景——意识到妈妈在乎自己——感到惭愧——看见妈妈——扑进妈妈怀里——道歉和感谢——妈妈原谅Jenny 3. 词汇激活 行为类 出现在脑海：appear in one’s mind/come to one’s mind 流下：roll down/stream down 意识到：realize/be aware of 表达：express/convey 情绪类 难过的：sad/upset 感谢：gratitude/appreciation 疲惫的：tired/exhausted 【点睛】【高分句型1】Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.(运用了宾语从句、同位语从句和独立主格结构，其中第一个that引导宾语从句，第二个that引导同位语从句) 【高分句型2】It dawned on Jenny that Mum’s love was invisible and intangible, but always surrounded us.

If you fancy something a bit more rural, then the green and pleasant land has plenty to offer. Goring Gap and the Thames Path If you’re in the mood for a gentle rural walk, the Thames Path is far from boring. The 5-mile footpath follows the curve of the river, winding past wildflower meadows (草地). Post-walk pub: Pangbourne’s seventeenth-century pub The Swan serves high-end dishes. Bag a table on the riverside or keep toasty by one of its open fires. Box Hill To admire this spots rural views, first you’ve got to jump across 17 stepping stones and climb 272 steps to the top of Box Hill, where the path begins. The total distance is 6.8 miles. Post-walk pub: The cavernous Tree on Box Hill has an attractive menu and huge beer garden, or sample a glass of Juniper Hill at Denbies Winerie. A South Downs Ridge (山脊) If you’ve already done the classic Seven Sisters clifftop walk or can’t face all those hills, this is a long but lovely alternative. The route covering 14.3 miles snakes along a ridge and a river valley. Post-walk pub: There are always 10 real beers at the old-school pub The Wellington. Chess Valley in the Chilterns Chess Valley in the Chiltern Hills isn’t home to any chess masters, but it used to produce a kind of water plant. This walk of 4.9 miles follows the river, winding through rolling meadows and woods. Post-walk pub: The George & Dragon is a simple old coaching pub on the High Street with a log fire, real beers and giant burgers. 1. Which of the following walks covers the shortest distance? A. Box Hill. B. A South Downs Ridge. C. Chess Valley in the Chilterns. D. Goring Gap and the Thames Path. 2. What do the listed scenic walks in the text have in common? A.

The food served there is expensive and of high quality. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A geography book. B. A travel brochure. C. A fashion website. D. A science magazine. B Aaron has performed in Germany, Korea, the Czech Republic and across the United States. His back flip (翻) earned him a place in “Guinness World Records”. Aaron doesn't use a skateboard to do his tricks. He sticks a perfect four wheeled landing with his wheelchair. That's quite an accomplishment for a kid who was born with spina bifida, a developmental birth defect (缺陷) that made him even unable to sit independently. One day, when he was eight, his friends encouraged him to roll down a shallow ramp (斜坡). It was a scary first ride. Aaron crashed his hands, but he was attracted. Six months later, after endless hard trying and training, he accomplished his first trick—lifting up one of the back wheels while crossing a barrier. “The more I rode, the better I became, though I have to admit that the process involved falling in every way possible,” says Aaron. When Aaron performed his first airborne 180 out of the box, Steve, his father, sensed an opportunity, videotaped the performance and sent it to the Internet. A letter soon arrived from John Box, founder of Colours’N Motion, encouraging him to call him directly whenever they needed anything. Aaron has a sponsor since. With his mother helping with scheduling, he has had the opportunity to travel within the US as well as internationally. He has attended summer camps for disabled children as a coach. “I know that I can be an inspiration for disabled kids,” says Aaron. “The message I want to convey to kids and adults is very simple: Always test your boundaries and don't let the disability restrict your capacities and possibilities.” 4. What happened when Aaron first tried to roll down a ramp? A. He crashed into his friend and got hurt. B. He became interested in the sport. C. He was too scared to try the sport again. D. He accomplished his first trick. 5. Who funded Aaron to achieve his goal? A. Steve. B. John Box. C. His friends. D. His mother. 6. Which of the following words best describe Aaron? A. Independent and cooperative. B. Ambitious and generous. C. Courageous and determined. D. Energetic and humorous. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Aaron: skating ability beyond disability. B. Aaron: inspiration for skating coaches. C. A boy working for “Guinness World Records”. D A boy seeking to be an Internet celebrity. C If the benefits of physical activity were made into a pill, everyone would be on it. Studies show that moving improves nearly every aspect of health: boosting sleep, strength, and mental well-being. Still, most people don’t exercise nearly enough. According to data published in 2023, less than a third of U.S. adults get the government-recommended amount of physical activity in their free time: at least 20 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per day, plus a couple of muscle-strengthening sessions each week. Why is it so tough to get people to do something so good for them? Physical limitations, health problems and modern life are certainly factors for many people. But research suggests there’s another factor: our brains don’t want us to exercise. For most of human existence, people had to be physically active to carry out the basic functions of life, such as finding food. Humans evolved (进化) to tolerate a high level of activity — but also to conserve energy for when movement was unnecessary, explains Daniel Lieberman, a human evolutionary biologist. As a society, we no longer move much in daily life, but the evolutionary instinct (本能) to conserve energy remains, Lieberman says. “That voice ‘I don’t want to exercise,’ is completely normal and natural,” he says. Physical-activity researcher Matthieu Boisgontier demonstrated that phenomenon in a 2018 study. He gave people control of a digital avatar (化身) while they were connected to brain-activity monitors. They were instructed to move the avatar away from images of sedentary (久坐) behavior that appeared on screen and toward images of physical activity. The study found that avoiding sedentary behavior took more brain power, suggesting that we have an “automatic tendency” to pick relaxing over moving. That conclusion shows up repeatedly in research. Studies show, for example, that people consistently choose to take a lift instead of the stairs. “That natural instinct isn’t bad-it’s just that modern life gives us so many chances to give in to our preference for rest that we have reached an extreme that is no longer beneficial to our health,” Boisgontier says. 8. What do data published in 2023 suggest? A. U. S. adults have poor health awareness. B. The recommended activities are impractical. C. Most Americans lack sufficient physical activity. D. Muscle-strengthening sessions deserve attention. 9. What makes people unwilling to exercise according to Lieberman? A. The physical limitations. B. The basic structure of the brain. C. The convenient modern life. D. The natural energy-saving tendency. 10. What does the underlined part “that phenomenon” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Sedentary behavior took much brain power. B. Most people tend to avoid physical activity. C Humans evolved for a high level of activity. D. Brain-related activities attract modern people. 11. What is Boisgontier’s attitude toward people’s physical inactivity? A. Doubtful B. Reserved. C. Approving. D. Opposed. D Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships.

She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1. 所续写短文词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
