Edna, who lives in Canada, has become famous for the fitness level she maintains at age 91. The mom of five, grandmother of twenty-one and great-grandmother of four still drives now. “I’ve always had a busy lifestyle because, let's face it, with that many children, you have to be busy,” Edna said. “So, I never really thought about it. That’s just the way I live.” She said she only really began to focus on her fitness in her 60s, when she was forced to retire from her job at a local hospital. She had to face the fact that she was 60. To keep herself busy, Edna began gardening again that she had to abandon due to her busy work. She said she also started going to the gym in her 60s, which she still does every other day. “I have to keep my feet to the fire because it’s cold in the morning in winter, and when it’s snowy or icy out there, I don’t really get enthusiastic about going outside, ” she said. “But I make myself do it and mark it on the calendar. So I cannot take any shortcuts.” Edna said she focused on walking at the gym for her cardiovascular (心血管) health and also included lots of weight lifting in her routine to maintain her bone strength. “When in the gym, I don’t try to break any records or compete with anyone else,” Edna said. “I only push myself to do better all the time, and I only compete with myself.” When it came to her age, Edna said the people at the gym didn't realize she's 91. She prefers it that way, because when people do realize she’s in her 90s, they’ll surely demand to help her. “I know them well. But I don't really want help,” said Edna. “It’s funny to say that, but I like to be independent.” 4. What made Edna leave her job in the hospital? A. Her turning 60. B. Her looking after many kids. C. Her wish to live a busy life. D. Her suffering from a disease. 5. What do we know about Edna after retirement? A. She lives in a cold place all year round. B. She manages to be a regular at the gym. C. She develops a new hobby for gardening. D. She likes to take shortcuts in her daily life. 6. Which of the following best describes the people at the gym? A. Competitive. B. Humorous. C. Cautious. D. Caring. 7. What can we learn from Edna’s story? A. The elderly also enjoy trends. B. Experience beats youth. C. A positive attitude extends life. D. Fitness is fit for everyone. C I was born and raised in England in a culture where respecting other people’s privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable (好客的) and friendly. However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness very different. I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was scolded in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to the seat — it had not been “spare” after all, so I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he realized my sincere apology. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the rest of the journey. The other passengers smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome among them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated. Transport also showed the differences between the English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to interrupt someone else’s privacy. However, when I travelled across the US, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not. 8. What do we know about the passengers when the author was travelling in Italy? A. They were all on the side of the gentleman. B. They all laughed at the author for his mistake. C. They would not bear a mistake like the author’s in public. D. They all showed their understanding of the author’s mistake. 9. What does the underlined word “scolded” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Shouted. B. Surprised. C. Praised. D. Blamed. 10. Why did English passengers sit in near silence according to the last paragraph? A. Everybody was deeply lost in thought. B. They were all strangers to each other. C. Respecting privacy was valued in England. D. They were too tired to speak to anyone. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Understand Each Other B. The Importance of Privacy C. Different Ways of Hospitality and Politeness D. My Unforgettable Travelling Experience Abroad D 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。并 在答题卡将该项涂黑。 Studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better.___16___ Below are some great ways of learning as much as you can without getting too stressed.
