It was no normal bear-it was an Asian black bear,a very31 kind.Between 1950 and 2023,Asian black bears caused 765 human deaths,according to a study in the journal PLOS Biology.This makes it one of the most dangerous large animals. However,bears,32 the most dangerous black bears,do not often hurt people,US scientist Lynn Rogers told the North American Bear Center."The 33 why black bears hurt people is that people are too close,"he said."Almost all recorded bear attacks()in the wild have resulted from humans surprising the bear.For example,hunters()typically aren't making any noise,but they are at the highest risk of being attacked 34 they suddenly appear in front of bears." According to China Science Communication(CSC),an attack35 also happen when people scare baby bears from a place nearby.When black bears are taking care of36 babies,mother bears can be very dangerous. Also,people may find that bears and humans are more likely to meet in recent years.More people near bears means less space for these animals to live in.Bears go to look37 food ncar villages,and this leads to more"meetings"with humans which may bring harm or even cause death,said CSC. So,what should you do when there's a bear right in front of you?Play dead?It could work,the bear may not 38 you as a danger. There are better ways.If you see a bear before it notices you,don't get closer or keep watching it.Just walk away39 in the other direction.If a bear sees you first,don't run-it might run after you.Instead,move back slowly in the opposite direction and wait for the bear to 40 31.A.shy B.dangerous C.direct D.patient 32.A.beside B.besidcs C.including D.include 33.A.reason B.relative C.request D.review 34.A.s0 B.until C.although D.bacause 35.A.must B.had better C.can D.have to 36.A.his B.our C.their D.its 37.A.f B.at C.after D.on 38.A.repeat B.treat C.connect D.suggest 39.A.widely B.exaatly C.ptivately D.silently 40.A.g0p B.ge out C.go away D.go down 3 V.阅读理解。(41~43题每小题1分，44-59题每小题2分，共35分) 阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案，并把答题卡上对应该题目的答案标号涂黑。 A Fold a Paper Plane Steps 1.Fold a piece of 2.Fold the top two 3.Fold the top 4.Fold the paper in half paper in half. corners down. corners to the center in a mountain fold. line.

Overthinking means thinking about the same thing again and again,leading you to see things in the worst possible way.This is because our brains are always looking for dangers so that they can make plans to deal with those dangers and keep us safe.Those dangers in mind may come from past experiences or the "what ifs"we imagine could happen in the future. Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible direction and get ready for what might happen.However,research suggests that overthinking can make us stressed,worried and anhappy. What's more,overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others.As you think the worst,make incorrect guesses,or worry about every little thing others do and say,you might misunderstand what they mean. So,instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again,you can pay attention to something else instead of the problem itself.Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you're doing something fun,like gardening,watching a comedy or even sleeping. Also,when you find yourself overthinking,challenge these thoughts.Ask yourself if they will be sure to happen and think about other possibilities.It can be hard at first,but the following ways can help you know whether you are overthinking. 44.Overthinking can make us have the following feelings EXCEPT()being A.stressed B.worried C.unhappy D.excited 45.If you are a person who is always overthinking,what might you think if you lose a basketball game? A.My teachers will not like me and the classmates will laugh at me. B.I believe I will do better next time if I practich harder. C.Although I lost the game,I will treat myself to something delicious. D.I will talk with my coach()to find out why I lost the game. 46.How does the writer supporthis idea in Paragraph 5? A.By listing numbers. B.By giving examples. C.By raising questions. D.By showing pictures. 47.If there is another paragraph after the passage,it may be about A wliat problems overthinking may causs B.whet good things overthinking may bring C.how you can know you are ovenhinking D.why people are always overthinking 5 C Doing exercisc is very important for a happy and heulthy life.So people all over the world have invented many kinds of exercise so far.Baduanjin,a kind of Chinese traditional sport,is just one of them.The traditional Chinese exercise was invented over cight hundred ycars ngo. At first,it was used as one kind of basic exercise for Shaolin Wushu.Compared with other sports,such as ball games and swimming,Baduanjin is slow and gentlc,and usually accompanicd (by soft and relaxing music,so it has been considered as a sport for the elderly.But lately.as an official video of Baduanjin got popular on the Intemet,it has also becomc a new favorite for young people. As the name shows,Baduanjin is made up of eight groups of movements in total.At the same time,people may feel like they are wearing a dress made of soft silk after doing the exercise,so it's also called "Eight Pieces of Silk". Many young people come to realize the beauty of the sport.Baduanjin is easy to learn and requires no tools and little space.So it's perfect for office workers,as they often feel a pain in their neck and shoulders,which is caused by long hours of sitting.For example,the first movement"Two hands supporting the sky"is helpful to the headache,backache and so on.The fifth movement"Shaking the head and tail"helps you to lower the stress and relax your back and neck. "I've been doing Baduanjin for a month,which makes me sleep better.I think Baduanjin is really helpful."a young netizen (wrote below the video.Besides him,many people said Baduanjin could help them get relaxed.

She paid no attention to us.She told us she had to go instead of staying at home,watching TV all day long. She wanted to change a new environment and meet new people.She needed to experience something new. We had to send her to the airport,and of course in the next several days,my brother and I waited nervously, hoping that God could return our mother to us safely.Finally,the day came when she walked out of the airport, with her eyes shining.We felt she seemed as if she were in her thirties again.She told us it had been a wonderful success.As it turned out,she had hardly spent any time alone after asking a taxi driver to show her around the country for some days.He took her to all kinds of places-the markets,churches and restaurants.He introduced her to a blanket()seller."A lovely man,"and she bought some blankets.The seller took her address and promised to mail the blankets home.The seller and my mother clearly built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada.My mother laughed happily when she told this story.However,we thought she was cheated. To our great surprise,her blankets did arrive some weeks later,along with a lovely note from the seller Leonardo.To our even greater surprise,the following year Leonardo himself arrived,who was a handsome young man.My mother was busy showing him around those days and they did build a stronger friendship.The mouths of my brother and I fell open in surprise. Her character of independence shows she totally understands that life is to be lived.It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption(肖申克的救赎)：“Get busy living or get busy dying.” 52.Why did the writer's mother go to Italy?

A.o a-d-b-e B.a-d-b-e-c C..c-d-a-e-b D.a-c-e-b-d E DWe all believe the famous saying "Practice makes perfect."but have you even thought whether practice really makes perfect? ②One popular theory(理论)is that if a person practises for at least 10,000.hours,.he will reach“perfection'” -or,in other words,become an expert in his field.This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his book,Outliers:The Story of Success,which has been taken to mean that enough practice will make anyone an expert.In the book,Gladwell says that "Ien thousand hours is the magic number of greatness".He gives the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates.Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent,they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful. 3For example,his work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson,who argued that Gladwell misunderstood his research in some ways.Firstly,Ericsson said that 10,000 hours was an average()number.Some people,for example,needed far fewer than 10,000 hours,and others needed many more.More importantly,Ericsson said that the quality()of practice was also of great importance. 4So what are the other reasons that help people become experts? 5Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.which can be often found in sports.For example,many baseball players in America can see the ball much soonerthan others do.So no matter how much a"normal"person practises,it is very hard for them to be as good as someone who has natural talent or physical advantages and who also practises And how about other reasons that help create an expert?Many say IQ,personality,attitude()and starting age are decisive reasons,too. 7In conclusion,practice may not make perfect,but practice of high quality may lead to important improvement.Here are some suggestions on how to practise effectively()be motivated(if somebody is motivated,he or she wants to do something,especially something that needs hard work),make exact and practical goals,work outside your comfort zone(),continue to try,ask for others'opinions,and,of course,get lots of rest!For those who want to become an expert in something,remember that being motivated is the key-enjoy what you do and follow what you love. 56.Which sentence can be put in_▲_？ A.Plenty of people agreed with Gladwell and what he said in the book. B.However,Gladwell's thepry has been saidt some people to be too simple. C.A great number of people had done some research after Gladwell. D.However,Gladwell's idea was said to be totally wrong by many. 57.What can we infer from the passage? A.If you practise hard enough you are sure to be an expert. B.Natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert. C.Only practising a lot was not enough to be an expert. D.Ten thousad hours will create greatness for sure. 58.What can be the best title for the text? A.A New Scientific Discovery B.Does Practice Really Make Perfect? C.Advantages and Disadvantages of Practice D.The More You Practise,The More Success You Will Get 59.Finish the structure according to the passage. Gladwell's theory:If a person practises for at least1 hours,he will become an expert in his field. Researches Anders Eriesson's research:The2 of practicc was also of great importance.
