blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
I can still remember the afternoon when we climbed the mountain as if it were yesterday.
It was a sunny day. Eager to spend some time outside, I went up the mountain with my uncle. The mountain was hard 1 (climb) and had tough rocks and streams on it. In the end, exhausted and hot, I couldn’t go any 2 (far). So we went back down the mountain in the end.
On the way back down, my uncle asked me a question 3 left me speechless for a second: “What’s your dream, young lady?”
“I have no idea,” I answered 4 thinking it for a while. Then he smiled and told me about his story. He didn’t perform well at school when he was a student. Although nobody thought he could succeed, he knew clearly 5 his dream was-to be a businessman. “I knew I wasn’t gifted when it came to studying, 6 I tried to buy snacks from a market and sell them after class,” he told me. After he left school, he started selling different items to find out which one was most attractive to customers. Of course, he often had no money in his pocket, but however tough life was, he never gave up.
“There is no doubt that a person who puts in a great deal of effort to reach his or her goal will have good luck at some point. The meaning of life is to chase your dream,” he said gently. That night I 7 hardly fall asleep. I lay in bed tossing and turning, asking myself, “What’s my motivation?”
I once wanted to be a top student, but the hard work needed meant putting everything into following my passion. If I find myself lacking willpower, what should I do? Leaving home early the next morning, I climbed the mountain again by myself. It made me think: 8 we don’t experience the climb, how can we get to see the scenery on the top of the mountain? In the end, I reached the top and 9 (fascinate) by the warm breeze and sunshine. 10 could be more pleasant than that.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Today’s children are exhausted, and not just because one in three kids is not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation in kids (who require at least nine hours a night, depending on age) has been found to 11 decrease academic achievement, lower intelligence test scores, slow physical growth, and 12 to moodiness and irritability. While the argument for protecting our children’s sleep time is convincing, there is another kind of rest that is 13 and beneficial to our children’s academic, emotional, and creative lives: daydreaming.
Not all mental downtime (停工休息期) is alike, of course. Downtime spent playing a videogame or watching a television show may have its 14 , but the kind of downtime I am talking about is different. I’m talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the 15 of the day. Television, video games, and other electronic 16 prevent this kind of mental wandering because they interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that 17 the foundation of positive, productive daydreaming.
There is, however, another way of looking at mind wandering. For the individual, mind wandering offers the possibility of very real, personal reward, some immediate, some more 18 . These rewards include self-awareness, memory consolidation, future planning, simulating the 19 of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others’ emotional reactions, moral reasoning.
In other words, daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside, but viewed from the inside or from the perspective of a psychologist, such as Kaufman, or a neuroscientist, such as Mary Helen, a complicated and extremely 20 neurological process is taking place. Viewed from the inside, our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy: their own minds.
III. Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy (自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming a(n) 21 period of adolescence, during which many of today’s students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
For previous generations, college was decisive 22 from parental control; guidance and support needed came from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, 23 , continued connection with a dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have 24 significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a(n) 25 from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, 26 have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and 27 . This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both 28 and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it 29 to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the 30 world is equally important. Because college community (群里) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of 31 . If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding a(n) 32 within a larger and complex community.
Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior 33 another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined (规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to 34 , particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.
Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary 35 between safety and self-discovery.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to work a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”
At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed, only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad – who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture – loved every single child in that hospital.

Savings You Can Phone In
Costs are going up and money is tight, so any ways to save money are going to be more than welcome. One area it’s common to overspend is your mobile phone. You really shouldn’t be paying more than £8 or £10 a month, so if you’re currently charged £20, that’s at least £120 saved a year. And if your bill is even higher, the savings will be even bigger. So how do you do this? Here are my quick and simple ways to reduce your bills.
Ditch your existing network
Though there seem to be dozens of different mobile networks, there are actually only four different signals. These are provided by the big four of EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. All the others “piggyback” on one of those, meaning you can find the same signal and coverage (though 5G might not be included—we’ll come back to that). So there’s no need to be scared that changing provider will mean you lose reception. This opens up a raft of (usually) cheaper alternatives.
Do you need 5G?
The fastest speeds come with 5G coverage, and it’s tempting to choose a network that offers this. But to take advantage you need two things. A 5G capable phone and for 5G to be set up in your area. If you don’t have both of these, then it’s worth shopping around for a cheaper 4G SIM.
Don’t update your handset.
Going SIM-only is a sure fire way to cut costs. By keeping your existing phone for another year or two, you’ll reduce your monthly payments to just the calls, data and texts allowance. If you do need or want to upgrade, then try to buy it outright. Yes, this could prove costly, but using savings will help you avoid a hidden surcharge many networks add via contracts.
Turn off data abroad
As a result of leaving the EU, some of the networks have ditched free mobile roaming (漫游) in Europe. This could lead to very expensive extra charges for using your phone on holiday, so make sure you check the costs levied by your provider when abroad. Some have introduced daily caps, but they’re not always valid outside Europe.
And even if you don’t actively use your phone when away, many apps are still using data in the background. One easy way to avoid these extras is to turn off data roaming before you leave the country. You should also find out whether you’ll be charged to receive voicemail messages. If so, turn that off too before you depart.
Check you’re out of contract
These savings will come when you don’t have a contract. That allows you to change your plan or even your network. But if you are still in the midst of a contract that lasts 12, 18, 24 or more months, you’ll need to wait or face early cancellation charges. Put the date in the diary, and come back to this article to start cutting your bill.
40.Changing mobile network provider will not lead to your losing reception because ______.
A.the cheaper providers are independent of the big four ones
B.the cheaper providers rely on the big four ones for signal and coverage
C.the alternative providers are equipped with the latest 5G network
D.there is fierce competition among various providers to offer the best signal
41.What may happen if data roaming is still functioning when you are travelling abroad?
A.It will turn off automatically when reaching the daily caps.
B.Many apps will provide useful data in the background free of charge.
C.Extra charges are likely to be caused for using your phone abroad.
D.Voicemail messages will be inaccessible due to the improper use of roaming.
42.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The more money you spend on your mobile phone, the more surplus (剩余额) you will have.
B.A 4G SIM is more affordable and has access to 5G as long as the area is covered.
C.Your costs for many services will be higher if you don’t update the handset within a year.
D.Canceling a contract ahead of the scheduled period may result in your paying extra charges.

A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to “rediscover a city”.
“I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place,” Zhao said.
With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way.
Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.
On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. “The route offers a glimpse (瞥见) into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery,” it said.
Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. “City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much,” he said.
43.Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to “rediscover a city”?
A.The variety of travel choices is limited.
B.Traditional group tour totally satisfies people’s need.
C.It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city.
D.Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures.
44.What do we know about city-walk culture?
A.It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin.
B.It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation.
C.It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms.
D.It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu.
45.What can we learn in the last but one paragraph?
A.City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet.
B.City-walk is only loved by young people.
C.City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another.
D.City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages.
46.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Walking Out from Home B.Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities
C.A Popular Social Platform D.Going Free to Explore the World
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Tips to Keep Your Personal Items Safe While Travelling
You might be surprised to hear that even in the limited space of an airplane, thefts still do occur. In a case reported, two men on board a flight were arrested after being suspected of stealing cash from fellow passengers’ mid-flight. 47 While airlines don’t advertise the fact, they’re not as rare as you may think. There are some tips to ensure you don’t become the victim of such crimes.
48 This is especially important if you have a black, featureless bag. For example, you can sew a symbol on it or write your initials on the bag.
Keep your valuables such as cash, your ID and passport, and jewellery in a small bag that you can place under the seat in front of you. Rest your feet on your bag to make sure no one gets close to the bag. 49 It takes just a few seconds for experienced thieves to steal your bag, so never give them the opportunity by leaving it unattended.
50 For example, you can divide your cash into three portions and keep some in your small bag, some in a pair of jeans that’s rolled up in your checked baggage, and some in your toiletries bag (化妆包). In this way, even if you lose one stash of money, you will not be left with absolutely no cash.
A.To ensure you get enough storage room, try to board the flight early.
B.Bring it with you whenever you leave your seat.
C.Thieves won’t spend too long on locked bags as it may draw attention to themselves.
D.Cases like this are known as in-flight, or mid-flight thefts.
E.Keep your cash or credit cards in different hiding places.
F.Make sure your bag is easily recognizable so thieves can’t just switch it out with a similar looking bag.
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible.
Building up your muscles is an easy part—the hard part is burning those layers of fat that cover your muscles. Here are some tips.
In order to work out harder, make a favorite fitness playlist with music that gets you excited, as it can help you go up to 20% longer and burn more calories, according to a study of Brunel University London. The study’s researcher says that music tends to prevent tiredness, and produces feelings of excitement.
Not only does eating good breakfast speed up your metabolism(新陈代谢), but it also nourishes (为……提供营养) your muscles. After eating breakfast, your best way of keeping fat burning going is to “graze”. Set up an eating schedule where you eat five to eight small meals every few hours throughout the day. It provides your body with a constant flow of nourishment to feed your muscles.
Men’s Health suggests choosing hard exercise that involves total body movements in order to help raise your heart rate and leave you out of breath. By including total body movements into your exercise, you’re going to end up burning a lot more calories while challenging yourself at the same time. As the saying goes: No pain, no gain. So, get moving.
Sounds easy enough, right? It’s as simple as drinking a cup of green tea every day. Adding in green tea will push fat burning to another level. And studies have shown that it can increase fat burning and help you lose weight.
While doing your weight training, try something including short, big bursts of cardio(心脏强化锻炼) throughout your exercise. For example, if you’re doing an hour-long exercise, place cardio into it every 15 minutes to help speed up your metabolism.

On the way back down, my uncle asked me a question 3 left me speechless for a second: “What’s your dream, young lady?”
“I have no idea,” I answered 4 thinking it for a while. Then he smiled and told me about his story. He didn’t perform well at school when he was a student.

Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy (自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming a(n) 21 period of adolescence, during which many of today’s students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
For previous generations, college was decisive 22 from parental control; guidance and support needed came from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, 23 , continued connection with a dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have 24 significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a(n) 25 from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, 26 have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and 27 . This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both 28 and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it 29 to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the 30 world is equally important. Because college community (群里) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of 31 . If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding a(n) 32 within a larger and complex community.
Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior 33 another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined (规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to 34 , particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.
Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary 35 between safety and self-discovery.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to work a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”
At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed, only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad – who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture – loved every single child in that hospital.

Savings You Can Phone In
Costs are going up and money is tight, so any ways to save money are going to be more than welcome. One area it’s common to overspend is your mobile phone. You really shouldn’t be paying more than £8 or £10 a month, so if you’re currently charged £20, that’s at least £120 saved a year. And if your bill is even higher, the savings will be even bigger. So how do you do this? Here are my quick and simple ways to reduce your bills.
Ditch your existing network
Though there seem to be dozens of different mobile networks, there are actually only four different signals. These are provided by the big four of EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. All the others “piggyback” on one of those, meaning you can find the same signal and coverage (though 5G might not be included—we’ll come back to that). So there’s no need to be scared that changing provider will mean you lose reception. This opens up a raft of (usually) cheaper alternatives.
Do you need 5G?
The fastest speeds come with 5G coverage, and it’s tempting to choose a network that offers this. But to take advantage you need two things. A 5G capable phone and for 5G to be set up in your area. If you don’t have both of these, then it’s worth shopping around for a cheaper 4G SIM.
Don’t update your handset.
Going SIM-only is a sure fire way to cut costs. By keeping your existing phone for another year or two, you’ll reduce your monthly payments to just the calls, data and texts allowance. If you do need or want to upgrade, then try to buy it outright. Yes, this could prove costly, but using savings will help you avoid a hidden surcharge many networks add via contracts.
Turn off data abroad
As a result of leaving the EU, some of the networks have ditched free mobile roaming (漫游) in Europe. This could lead to very expensive extra charges for using your phone on holiday, so make sure you check the costs levied by your provider when abroad. Some have introduced daily caps, but they’re not always valid outside Europe.
And even if you don’t actively use your phone when away, many apps are still using data in the background. One easy way to avoid these extras is to turn off data roaming before you leave the country. You should also find out whether you’ll be charged to receive voicemail messages. If so, turn that off too before you depart.
Check you’re out of contract
These savings will come when you don’t have a contract. That allows you to change your plan or even your network. But if you are still in the midst of a contract that lasts 12, 18, 24 or more months, you’ll need to wait or face early cancellation charges. Put the date in the diary, and come back to this article to start cutting your bill.
40.Changing mobile network provider will not lead to your losing reception because ______.
A.the cheaper providers are independent of the big four ones
B.the cheaper providers rely on the big four ones for signal and coverage
C.the alternative providers are equipped with the latest 5G network
D.there is fierce competition among various providers to offer the best signal
41.What may happen if data roaming is still functioning when you are travelling abroad?
A.It will turn off automatically when reaching the daily caps.
B.Many apps will provide useful data in the background free of charge.
C.Extra charges are likely to be caused for using your phone abroad.
D.Voicemail messages will be inaccessible due to the improper use of roaming.
42.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The more money you spend on your mobile phone, the more surplus (剩余额) you will have.
B.A 4G SIM is more affordable and has access to 5G as long as the area is covered.
C.Your costs for many services will be higher if you don’t update the handset within a year.
D.Canceling a contract ahead of the scheduled period may result in your paying extra charges.
【答案】40.B 41.C 42.D
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个节约手机费用的简单方法。
40.细节理解题。根据Ditch your existing network部分的“These are provided by the big four of EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. All the others ‘piggyback’ on one of those, meaning you can find the same signal and coverage. So there’s no need to be scared that changing provider will mean you lose reception. This opens up a raft of (usually) cheaper alternatives. (这些服务由EE、O2、Three和沃达丰这四大公司提供。所有其他的都“依附”在其中一个上,这意味着你可以找到相同的信号和覆盖范围。因此,没有必要担心更换供应商意味着您将失去信号。这开辟了一大批更便宜的替代品)”可知,更换网络供应商不会导致失去信号,因为其他依附四大公司的供应商会提供相同的信号和覆盖范围,而且价格还更便宜。故选B。
41.细节理解题。根据Turn off data abroad部分的“As a result of leaving the EU, some of the networks have ditched free mobile roaming (漫游) in Europe. This could lead to very expensive extra charges for using your phone on holiday, so make sure you check the costs levied by your provider when abroad. (由于脱离欧盟,一些网络已经放弃了欧洲的免费移动漫游。这可能会导致你在度假时使用手机收取非常昂贵的额外费用,所以当你在国外时,一定要查看提供商收取的费用)”可知,如果在国外旅行时数据漫游继续运行会导致非常昂贵的额外费用。故选C。
42.细节理解题。根据Check you’re out of contract部分的“But if you are still in the midst of a contract that lasts 12, 18, 24 or more months, you’ll need to wait or face early cancellation charges. (但如果你的合同持续12个月、18个月、24个月或更长时间,你需要等待,否则将面临提前取消合同的费用)”可知,提前取消合同可能会导致你支付额外费用。故选D。
C
A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to “rediscover a city”.
“I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place,” Zhao said.
With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way.
Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms.
On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. “The route offers a glimpse (瞥见) into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery,” it said.
Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. “City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much,” he said.
43.Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to “rediscover a city”?
A.The variety of travel choices is limited.
B.Traditional group tour totally satisfies people’s need.
C.It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city.
D.Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures.
44.What do we know about city-walk culture?
A.It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin.
B.It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation.
C.It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms.
D.It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu.
45.What can we learn in the last but one paragraph?
A.City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet.
B.City-walk is only loved by young people.
C.City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another.
D.City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages.
46.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Walking Out from Home B.Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities
C.A Popular Social Platform D.Going Free to Explore the World
【答案】43.C 44.B 45.A 46.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市漫步作为一种个性化和不同的旅游方式,满足了人们以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的需求,是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式,受到了人们的喜爱。
43.推理判断题。根据第三段“With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way. (随着旅游选择的多样化,传统的团体游已经不能满足那些寻求更个性化和不同的旅行体验,并希望以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的每一个部分的人)”和最后一段中Zhao所说的话“City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much (城市漫步就是在探索城市的过程中做任何你想做的事情,它实际上是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式,我非常喜欢)”可推知,因为不同于传统的团体游,城市漫步是探索城市的一种更愉快、更个人化的方式,所以赵称城市漫步是“重新发现一个城市”的最好方式。故选C项。
44.细节理解题。根据第四段中“The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms. (流行的城市漫步文化也在各大社交媒体平台上引起了轰动,这种文化鼓励人们在除了腿和脚之外没有任何交通工具的情况下体验城市生活)”可知,城市漫步文化鼓励人们在没有交通工具的情况下体验自由城市生活。故选B项。
45.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. (在视频分享应用抖音,中国版的Tik-Tok上,最近发布的一段关于广东省广州城市漫步路线的视频,获得了超过17.1万个赞,有7.2万名不同年龄的观众把这段视频加到了自己的收藏中。根据生活方式分享平台小红书的一份报告,今年上半年,关于城市漫步的搜索量比去年增长了30倍)”可知,城市漫步在抖音和小红书两个平台上都是热门话题。由此可知,城市漫步在互联网上很受欢迎。故选A项。
46.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段“Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms. (与紧凑的路线和拍照旅游相比,城市漫步侧重于自由、随意和自发的体验。流行的城市漫步文化也在各大社交媒体平台上引起了轰动,这种文化鼓励人们在除了腿和脚之外没有任何交通工具的情况下体验城市生活)”可知,文章围绕城市漫步展开,介绍了城市漫步作为一种个性化和不同的旅游方式,满足了人们以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的需求,是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式,受到了人们的喜爱。因此,B项“漫步文化在城市中流行起来”契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

Tips to Keep Your Personal Items Safe While Travelling
You might be surprised to hear that even in the limited space of an airplane, thefts still do occur. In a case reported, two men on board a flight were arrested after being suspected of stealing cash from fellow passengers’ mid-flight. 47 While airlines don’t advertise the fact, they’re not as rare as you may think. There are some tips to ensure you don’t become the victim of such crimes.
48 This is especially important if you have a black, featureless bag. For example, you can sew a symbol on it or write your initials on the bag.
Keep your valuables such as cash, your ID and passport, and jewellery in a small bag that you can place under the seat in front of you. Rest your feet on your bag to make sure no one gets close to the bag. 49 It takes just a few seconds for experienced thieves to steal your bag, so never give them the opportunity by leaving it unattended.
50 For example, you can divide your cash into three portions and keep some in your small bag, some in a pair of jeans that’s rolled up in your checked baggage, and some in your toiletries bag (化妆包). In this way, even if you lose one stash of money, you will not be left with absolutely no cash.
A.To ensure you get enough storage room, try to board the flight early.
B.Bring it with you whenever you leave your seat.
C.Thieves won’t spend too long on locked bags as it may draw attention to themselves.
D.Cases like this are known as in-flight, or mid-flight thefts.
E.Keep your cash or credit cards in different hiding places.
F.Make sure your bag is easily recognizable so thieves can’t just switch it out with a similar looking bag.
【答案】47.D 48.F 49.B 50.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些好的方法以帮助我们在旅行时更好地保护个人物品安全。
47.根据空前“In a case reported, two men on board a flight were arrested after being suspected of stealing cash from fellow passengers’ mid-flight.(据报道,在一起案件中,一架飞机上的两名男子因涉嫌在飞行途中从其他乘客那里偷钱而被捕。)”以及空后“While airlines don’t advertise the fact, they’re not as rare as you may think.(虽然航空公司不宣传这一事实,但它们并不像你想象的那么罕见。)”可知,空处和在飞行途中的偷窃相关。选项D“Cases like this are known as in-flight, or mid-flight thefts.(像这样的案件被称为飞行中或飞行中盗窃。)”与上下文内容相一致,指的是在飞行中盗窃。故选D。
48.空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文“This is especially important if you have a black, featureless bag. For example, you can sew a symbol on it or write your initials on the bag.(如果你有一个黑色的、毫无特色的包,这一点尤其重要。例如,你可以在上面缝一个符号,或者在包上写上你名字的首字母。)”可判断,本段讲述的是要让自己的包很容易辨认。选项F“Make sure your bag is easily recognizable so thieves can’t just switch it out with a similar looking bag.(确保你的包很容易辨认,这样小偷就不会把它换成一个看起来很像的包。)”与下文内容一致,指的是要确保自己的包很容易辨认。故选F。
49.根据空前“Keep your valuables such as cash, your ID and passport, and jewellery in a small bag that you can place under the seat in front of you. Rest your feet on your bag to make sure no one gets close to the bag.(把你的贵重物品,如现金、身份证、护照和珠宝放在一个小袋子里,放在你前面的座位下面。把你的脚放在你的包上,确保没有人靠近你的包。)”以及空后“It takes just a few seconds for experienced thieves to steal your bag, so never give them the opportunity by leaving it unattended.(经验丰富的小偷只需要几秒钟就能偷走你的包,所以千万不要给他们机会,把包放在无人看管的地方。)”可知,本段讲述的是要看好自己的包,不要让自己的包离开自己的视线。选项B“Bring it with you whenever you leave your seat.(当你离开座位的时候带上它。)”是上文内容的自然延续,同时引出下文内容。故选B。
50.空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文“For example, you can divide your cash into three portions and keep some in your small bag, some in a pair of jeans that’s rolled up in your checked baggage, and some in your toiletries bag (化妆包). In this way, even if you lose one stash of money, you will not be left with absolutely no cash.(例如,你可以把你的现金分成三份,一些放在你的小包里,一些放在一条牛仔裤里,卷在你的托运行李里,还有一些放在你的洗漱包里。这样,即使你失去了一笔钱,你也不会完全没有现金。)”可知,在本段中,作者主要建议我们不要把现金等放在一起,分下来放,这样即便丢失一份,也不会失去全部。选项E“Keep your cash or credit cards in different hiding places.(把现金或信用卡藏在不同的地方。)”与下文内容一致,指的是不要把现金放在一起。故选E。
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible.
Building up your muscles is an easy part—the hard part is burning those layers of fat that cover your muscles. Here are some tips.
In order to work out harder, make a favorite fitness playlist with music that gets you excited, as it can help you go up to 20% longer and burn more calories, according to a study of Brunel University London. The study’s researcher says that music tends to prevent tiredness, and produces feelings of excitement.
Not only does eating good breakfast speed up your metabolism(新陈代谢), but it also nourishes (为……提供营养) your muscles. After eating breakfast, your best way of keeping fat burning going is to “graze”. Set up an eating schedule where you eat five to eight small meals every few hours throughout the day. It provides your body with a constant flow of nourishment to feed your muscles.
Men’s Health suggests choosing hard exercise that involves total body movements in order to help raise your heart rate and leave you out of breath. By including total body movements into your exercise, you’re going to end up burning a lot more calories while challenging yourself at the same time. As the saying goes: No pain, no gain. So, get moving.
Sounds easy enough, right? It’s as simple as drinking a cup of green tea every day. Adding in green tea will push fat burning to another level. And studies have shown that it can increase fat burning and help you lose weight.
While doing your weight training, try something including short, big bursts of cardio(心脏强化锻炼) throughout your exercise. For example, if you’re doing an hour-long exercise, place cardio into it every 15 minutes to help speed up your metabolism.
