A
There are competitions held all over the world that attract millions of viewers every year. Here are four of the craziest competitions in the world.
Worm (幼虫) Charming Championship
This competition involves contestants using a small area of grass and a number of different methods to try and attract as many worms as possible from the ground in a set amount of time. Participants use everything to make noise in the ground to try and drive the worms out. The current world record is held by 10-year-old Sophie Smith from England, who in 2009 collected 567 worms in 30 minutes.
Toe (脚趾头) Wrestling Competition
The wonderful sport of toe wrestling was first thought up in a pub in Wetton, England, in 1974. Four friends were angry at the fact that the UK never produced any world champions and so created a sport that they could succeed in. The competition has gained in popularity and there is a regular world championship held in Ashbourne, England, every year. It’s very similar to arm wrestling and sees competitors lock toes and wrestle until one of them “pins” the other’s foot for 3 seconds.
World Beard and Moustache Championship
The competition has been running since 1990. Competitors come from all over the world to see who can grow and style the best beard and moustache. The competition actually has 17 different categories, including Best Freestyle Moustache, Best Natural Goatee and the all-time classic: Best Natural Full Beard and Styled Moustache.
Sauna (桑拿浴) Championship
The World Sauna Championships were held in Heinola, Finland and ran from 1999 to 2010. The crazy competition saw contestants sit in a sauna for as long as possible, with the winner being the last person standing (or rather sitting and sweating). The starting temperature was 110 degrees and water would be poured onto the stove every 30 seconds. The competition came to an end in 2010, though, when tragedy struck and one of the contestants died during the event and another was severely injured.
1. What does the text say about Worm Charming Championship?
A. It has no time limit. B. Its records are broken frequently.
C. It has no requirement for tools used. D. Its participants are mainly teenagers.
2. Why was Toe Wrestling Competition created?
A. To raise people’s interest in sports.
B. To compete against arm wrestling.
C. To demonstrate the creativity of the English.
D. To give the English a chance to be world champions.
3. Which competition is no longer held?
A. Sauna Championship. B. Toe Wrestling Competition.
C. Worm Charming Championship. D. World Beard and Moustache Championship.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上最疯狂的四个比赛的相关信息。

Four friends were angry at the fact that the UK never produced any world champions and so created a sport that they could succeed in. (1974年,在英国威顿的一家酒吧里,人们第一次想到了足尖摔跤这项精彩的运动。四个朋友对英国从未产生过世界冠军感到愤怒,因此创造了一项他们可以成功的运动。)”可知,创建脚趾摔跤比赛的初衷是给英国人一个成为世界冠军的机会。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Sauna (桑拿浴) Championship部分中“The competition came to an end in 2010, though, when tragedy struck and one of the contestants died during the event and another was severely injured. (然而,比赛在2010年结束,当时悲剧发生,一名选手在比赛中死亡,另一名选手严重受伤。)”可知,Sauna Championship因为发生悲剧而不再举办。故选A。
B
An African penguin named Mr. Greedy died at Baltimore’s Maryland Zoo last week at the age of 33, surpassing his species’ median life expectancy of 18 years. His secret to longevity? Fathering lots of penguins, apparently.
Zoo officials said Mr. Greedy helped rebuild the penguin population at zoos across North America. Doing his part to promote the survival of his endangered species, he left behind 230 descendants (子孙) and five generations of offspring as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African Penguin Species Survival Plan.
Mr. Greedy was put to death painlessly following an age-related decline in his health. Jen Kottyan, leader of the survival program, said in a statement, “It’s tough to lose an animal who has been such a welcome presence at our zoo for three decades. This bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.”
Mr. Greedy also left behind his lifelong mate, Mrs. Greedy. Both birds hatched in 1991 and arrived at the Zoo the following year. The pair had been together since 1994, when they hit reproductive age. Mrs. Greedy is now the Zoo’s oldest penguin. Mr. Greedy earned his name due to his stealing habit. He frequently stole nesting materials and food from others. Mrs. Greedy, who joined her partner in such behaviors, also lives up to her nickname.
In the wake of the loss of her partner, zookeepers are monitoring Mrs. Greedy’s heath. “Her behavior will determine what happens next,” Kottyan said. “On condition that she shows interest, the Zoo will pair her with a single male in the colony (群体) as a companion.”
The wild population of African penguins, native to South Africa and Namibia, has declined by75% over the past 20 years, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, mostly due to the fact that they have great difficulty filling their stomachs. The species’ numbers, once in the millions, have also dropped because of overfishing, human disturbance of nesting grounds, pollution and climate change.
4. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Mr. Greedy’s reproductive ability.
B. Great contributions made by Mr. Greedy.
C. The number of Mr. Greedy’s descendants.
D. The African Penguin Species Survival Plan.
5. What will the Zoo do for Mrs. Greedy?
A. Return her to the wild. B. Move her to another colony.
C. Accompany her day and night. D. Find a partner for her if she likes.
6. What’s the leading cause of the decline of wild African penguins?
A. Rising sea levels. B. Insufficient food supply.
C. Shortage of nesting grounds. D. Worsening weather conditions.
7. What can be known about Mr. Greedy from the text?
A. He died a natural death. B. He used to commit thefts alone.
C. He was born and raised in the Zoo. D. He was thought highly of by Kottyan.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了巴尔的摩马里兰动物园的一只33岁的雄性企鹅上周去世,远超企鹅的平均预期寿命中位数——18岁,他长寿的秘诀就是繁衍后代。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Zoo officials said Mr. Greedy helped rebuild the penguin population at zoos across North America. Doing his part to promote the survival of his endangered species, he left behind 230 descendants (子孙) and five generations of offspring as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African Penguin Species Survival Plan.(动物园的官员们说,Mr. Greedy帮助重建了整个北美动物园的企鹅种群。为了尽他所能促进濒危物种的生存,他留下了5代后代,共230个子孙,作为美国动物协会非洲企鹅物种生存计划的一部分)”可知,本段主要讲述Mr. Greedy所做出的贡献。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段中Kottyan所说的“On condition that she shows interest, the Zoo will pair her with a single male in the colony (群体) as a companion.(在她表现出兴趣的条件下,动物园会将她与群体中的一只雄性配对作为伴侣)”可知,如果Mrs. Greedy愿意,马里兰动物园会为她找一个伴侣。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“The wild population of African penguins, native to South Africa and Namibia, has declined by 75% over the past 20 years, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, mostly due to the fact that they have great difficulty filling their stomachs.(据动物园和水族馆协会称,非洲企鹅原产于南非和纳米比亚,在过去的20年里,非洲企鹅的野生种群数量下降了75%,主要原因是它们很难填饱肚子)”可知,原产于南非和纳米比亚的非洲企鹅的野生种群在过去的20年里减少了75%,主要是因为食物供应不足。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中Kottyan所说的“It’s tough to lose an animal who has been such a welcome presence at our zoo for three decades. This bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.(失去一只在我们动物园如此受欢迎了三十年的动物,我们很难过。这种鸟对非洲企鹅在世界各地的生存至关重要)”可知,Kottyan认为失去一只在该动物园受欢迎了三十年的动物是很痛苦的,这只鸟对非洲企鹅在世界各地的生存至关重要。由此可以推断,Kottyan对Mr. Greedy的评价很高。故选D项。
C
The vast majority of people in the UK have access to a smartphone. Therefore, they try to access TikTok, YouTube, Netflix, and pretty much any other kind of digital media they could possibly want, at any time. As one poster put it on Twitter: “Can’t seem to sleep. Let’s see if the bright light of my phone containing all the information in the entire world held inches away from my face for the next 15 minutes manages to help me fall into a peaceful sleep.”
In theory, being able to access information or entertainment so easily means we should never be bored. But as the University of Toronto’s Katy Y. Y. Tam and Michael Inzlicht explored in a new paper, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, switching between lots of different online content could be making us more, not less, bored.
After an initial study, which confirmed that people are more likely to rapidly switch between shortform videos when they feel more bored, the team conducted further experiments to understand how digital scrolling (滚屏) impacts boredom.
In the first experiment, participants in the no-switching condition watched a ten-minute, unskippable video; those in the switching condition were provided with seven five-minute videos they could skip whenever they wanted. After the ten minutes were up, they reported how bored they felt. Those who couldn’t switch between videos reported being significantly less bored than those who could, and also rated their experience as more satisfying, engaging, and meaningful. These results were repeated in a further study, in which some participants could switch back and forth in time during one video and others had to watch it in one go.
Next, the team took their experiment to the more naturalistic setting of YouTube. After selecting a video at least nine minutes long, some participants were again told they could skip back and forth, while others were told that they had to watch the video through. Again, participants were less bored in the no-switching condition, though there was no difference in satisfaction, attention, or meaningfulness.
Overall, the results suggest a great difference between what we think will help with our boredom and what actually makes us bored. It feels paradoxical: if something feels boring, then it makes sense that we’d jump to something else; but, in reality, this doesn’t seem to do the job.
8. Why does the author mention the poster in paragraph 1?
A. To show British people’s expectations of smartphones.
B. To stress how dependent the British are on smartphones.
C. To display one of the potential benefits of digital media.
D. To indicate how aware the British are of their phone use.
9. What were the participants asked to do during the experiment?
A. They chose to watch their favorite videos.
B. They recorded the frequency of their watching videos.
C. They reported their feelings after they watched videos.
D. They communicated their ideas on switching between videos.
10. What does the underlined word “paradoxical” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Contradictory. B. Reasonable. C. Complex. D. Troublesome.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why Scrolling Isn’t a Cure-All for Boredom
B. How to Get Pleasure from Watching Videos
C. Scrolling through Videos Increases Boredom
D. Watching Videos Less Often Is Actually More
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字媒体快速切换反而加剧无聊感的现象及其原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“The vast majority of people in the UK have access to a smartphone. Therefore, they try to access TikTok, YouTube, Netflix, and pretty much any other kind of digital media they could possibly want, at any time. As one poster put it on Twitter: “Can’t seem to sleep. Let’s see if the bright light of my phone containing all the information in the entire world held inches away from my face for the next 15 minutes manages to help me fall into a peaceful sleep.” (英国绝大多数人都能接触到智能手机。因此,他们随时都能尝试访问TikTok、YouTube、Netflix以及他们可能想要的任何其他类型的数字媒体。正如一位推特用户所说:“似乎睡不着。让我看看,在接下来的15分钟里,把包含全世界所有信息的手机屏幕举在离我的脸几英寸远的地方,它那耀眼的光芒是否能帮我安然入睡。”)”可知,作者提到这位Twitter用户是为了强调英国人对智能手机的依赖程度。故选B。
9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“In the first experiment, participants in the no-switching condition watched a ten-minute, unskippable video; those in the switching condition were provided with seven five-minute videos they could skip whenever they wanted. After the ten minutes were up, they reported how bored they felt. (在第一项实验中,不切换条件下的参与者观看了一段10分钟且无法跳过的视频;而切换条件下的参与者被提供了7段5分钟的视频,他们可以随时跳过。10分钟后,他们报告了自己感到无聊的程度。)”可知,他们被要求做的是在观看视频后报告他们的感受。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由最后一段中“if something feels boring, then it makes sense that we’d jump to something else; but, in reality, this doesn’t seem to do the job. (如果某件事很无聊,那么我们跳到另一件事上是有道理的;但实际上,这似乎并不起作用)”可知,感觉无聊时换件事做看似有道理,但实际上并不能解决无聊的问题。可知,这是矛盾的事情,paradoxical在此处的意思是“矛盾的”。A. Contradictory矛盾的;B. Reasonable合理的;C. Complex复杂的,费解的;D. Troublesome麻烦的。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章最后一段“Overall, the results suggest a great difference between what we think will help with our boredom and what actually makes us bored. It feels paradoxical: if something feels boring, then it makes sense that we’d jump to something else; but, in reality, this doesn’t seem to do the job. (总的来说,研究结果表明,我们认为有助于消除无聊的东西和真正让我们感到无聊的东西之间存在着巨大的差异。这让人觉得很矛盾:如果某件事让人觉得无聊,那么我们就会跳到其他事情上;但是,在现实中,这似乎并没有起到作用。)”可知,文章主要讲述了实验发现,虽然理论上能够轻松获取信息和娱乐应该让我们永远不会感到无聊,但实际上,频繁切换不同的在线内容可能会让我们更加无聊。因此,文章的最佳标题是“Scrolling through Videos Increases Boredom (滚动浏览视频会增加无聊)”。故选C。
D
Combining artificial intelligence (AI) with today’s environmental control systems could reduce energy consumption for indoor agriculture by 25%, potentially helping to feed the world as its population rises, Cornell University engineers have found.
The world population is expected to grow to 9.7 billion by 2050, according to the United Nations. This growth, combined with climate change and urbanization, requires fixes for the disadvantages in the world’s present food production systems, the researchers said.
Indoor farming methods, such as plant factories with artificial lighting, are less sensitive to climate change, but are energy-intensive (能源密集型的) and require careful resource management to be sustainable. “Existing environmental control systems are not smart enough,” said Fengqi You, a professor in energy systems engineering at Cornell University.
By using AI techniques like deep reinforcement learning and computational optimization (最优化), the scientists analyzed lettuce grown in indoor farms within diverse places.
AI reduces energy use by optimizing lighting and climate regulation systems. Energy use dropped to 6.42 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight (energy needed or used to produce one kilogram of indoor-grown lettuce) from 9.5 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight, in places that use non-AI technology. The researchers found that for warmer areas, such as Dubai or the southern U. S. , AI reduced energy usage to 7.26 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight, down from 10.5 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight.
Low ventilation (通风) during light periods (16 hours of simulated sunlight) and high ventilation during dark periods (8 hours of simulated night) provided an energy-efficient solution for optimal indoor CO2 levels for photosynthesis, oxygen for respiration (呼吸) and plant growth, and balanced other ventilation requirements.
“This is a very similar concept to smart homes,” You said. “We want to be comfortable at home while reducing energy use; so do crops. This work focuses on a smart system to make food production optimal, sustainable and lower the carbon footprint. That’s what AI does very well. We can save quite a bit if we use AI to optimize the artificial lighting and other energy systems carefully.”
12. What’s the finding of Cornell University engineers?
A. AI can help in the fight against climate change.
B. AI can greatly lessen indoor farming energy use.
C. AI can help keep the world population under control.
D. AI can upgrade the existing food production systems.
13. How is paragraph 5 mainly developed?
A. By listing examples. B. By analyzing figures.
C. By giving explanations. D. By making comparisons.
14. What’s You’s attitude towards the application of AI in indoor agriculture?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
15. Where can the text most probably be read?
A. In a science report. B. In an introduction to AI.
C. In a biology textbook. D. In an education magazine.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A

(康奈尔大学的工程师们发现,将人工智能与当今的环境控制系统相结合可以减少室内农业25%的能源消耗,这可能有助于随着世界人口的增长提供食物)”可知,康奈尔大学工程师们发现,把人工智能和当今的环境控制系统相结合可以将室内农业的能源消耗减少25%,所以人工智能可以大大降低室内农业的能源消耗。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Energy use dropped to 6.42 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight (energy needed or used to produce one kilogram of indoor-grown lettuce) from 9.5 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight, in places that use non-AI technology. The researchers found that for warmer areas, such as Dubai or the southern U. S. , AI reduced energy usage to 7.26 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight, down from 10.5 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight. (在使用非AI技术的地方,生产一公斤室内种植生菜所需的能源从每公斤新鲜重量9.5千瓦时下降到了每公斤新鲜重量6.42千瓦时。研究人员发现,在较热的地区,如迪拜或美国南部,人工智能将能源使用量从每公斤新鲜重量10.5千瓦时减少到了每公斤新鲜重量7.26千瓦时)”可知,通过比较使用人工智能和不使用人工智能生产每公斤鲜重的能源消耗展开介绍的,所以这里使用了对比的方法来展示人工智能在减少能耗上的效果。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““We want to be comfortable at home while reducing energy use; so do crops. This work focuses on a smart system to make food production optimal, sustainable and lower the carbon footprint. That’s what AI does very well. We can save quite a bit if we use AI to optimize the artificial lighting and other energy systems carefully.” (“我们希望在家里既舒适又能减少能源使用;作物也是如此。这项工作专注于开发一个智能系统,使食物生产达到最佳化、可持续性并降低碳足迹。这是AI非常擅长的事情。如果我们仔细利用AI来优化人工照明和其他能源系统,我们可以节省相当多的能源”)”可知,You认为如果我们使用人工智能优化人工照明和其他能源系统,我们就可以节省相当多的能源,所以他对人工智能在室内农业中的应用持积极的态度。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文以及第一段“Combining artificial intelligence (AI) with today’s environmental control systems could reduce energy consumption for indoor agriculture by 25%, potentially helping to feed the world as its population rises, Cornell University engineers have found.

(通过使用诸如深度强化学习和计算最优化等AI技术,科学家们分析了在不同地点的室内农场中种植的生菜)”可知,本文主要介绍了人工智能可以大大减少室内农业的能源消耗。由此可以推断,本文最有可能出自一篇科学报告。故选A。
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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your mental health influences how you think, feel, and behave in daily life. It also affects your ability to deal with stress, overcome challenges, build relationships, and recover from life’s setbacks and hardships.
Having solid mental health doesn’t mean that you never go through bad times or experience emotional problems. We all go through disappointments, loss and change. These are normal parts of life. ___16___ Just as physically healthy people are better able to bounce back from illness or injury, people with strong mental health are better able to bounce back from adversity (逆境), and stress. This ability is called resilience (适应力).
People who are emotionally and mentally resilient have the tools for dealing with difficult situations and maintaining a positive outlook. ___17___ Their resilience also makes them less afraid of new experiences and an uncertain future. Even when they don’t immediately know how a problem will be solved, they’re hopeful that a solution will eventually be found.
Anyone can suffer from mental or emotional health problems over a lifetime; most of us will. Therefore, mental health problems are quite common. ___18___ We ignore the emotional messages that tell us something is wrong and try toughing it out by distracting (使分心) ourselves. We bottle up our problems in the hope that others won’t notice. ___19___ Or we simply give up—telling ourselves this is “just the way we are.”
___20___ There are practices you can adopt to lift your mood, become more resilient, and enjoy life more. But just as it requires effort to build and maintain physical health, so it does with mental health. We have to work harder these days to ensure strong mental health, simply because there are so many ways that life has a bad effect on our emotional well-being.
A. The good news is that you don’t have to feel bad.
B. Besides, developing mental strength is a lifelong journey.
C. However, they can still cause sadness, anxiety, and stress.
D. We hope our situation will eventually improve on its own.
E. However, many of us make no effort to improve our situation.
F. Strong mental health isn’t just the absence of mental health problems.
G. They remain focused, flexible, and productive, both in bad times and good.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In June 2021, Alice and her sister, Emily, took a plane to Budapest. It was a very long journey, with quite a few brief stays along the way. When they finally arrived at the airport in the afternoon, after about 24 hours, the two sisters were both tired and stressed. As a result, they carried their three heavy suitcases, stopped a taxi, got into it and headed to their rented apartment right away.
“We got to the apartment and no check-in instructions had arrived,” Alice said. “The owner was not available at that moment and the phone was powered off all the time.”
Then they tried calling customer service, but not a live person was available, either. They could do nothing but chat with a robot, but their problem was too complicated for the system. It couldn’t get their meaning. The two sisters were getting more and more tired. So Alice used the app to reach out to some of the owners of nearby apartments. “And the third one that I texted said, ’Yes, my apartment is still available. You can go and check in. Here is the code, ’” Alice said.
Immediately, they grabbed their suitcases and started rolling them down the sidewalk toward the new apartment, though they had no idea whether the apartment would suit them. They walked down a block and around the corner. Then they looked up, but what they saw filled them with fear: A series of five staircases, winding up the hill. It meant that they would have to climb to reach the street with their apartment building.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As soon as they saw that, Emily just wanted to cry.

Opening the door of the apartment, they knew everything was worthwhile.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As soon as they saw that, Emily just wanted to cry. The thought of dragging their heavy suitcases up those endless stairs seemed like an impossible task, especially after such a long and exhausting journey. But Alice put a comforting arm around her sister’s shoulder. “Come on, Emily. We’ve faced something worse than this. Let’s take it one step at a time. Together, we can do this.” With renewed determination, the sisters began the climb, each step a testament to their resilience and sisterly bond. As they reached the apartment building, breathless and sweaty, they looked at each other and grinned, knowing they had overcome yet another obstacle.
Opening the door of the apartment, they knew everything was worthwhile. The room was clean, with modern furniture and a cozy atmosphere. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, casting warm golden rays across the room. Best of all, the apartment was situated in a quiet neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Alice and Emily exchanged a look of relief, knowing that despite the challenges they had faced, they had found a haven in this unfamiliar city. As they settled in, they couldn’t help but feel grateful for the kindness of strangers and the strength of their own perseverance.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了Alice和Emily前往布达佩斯途中及到达后的经历。姐妹俩在抵达后无法入住预定公寓,因为房东失联。她们尝试通过客服求助未果,后Alice主动联系附近公寓房东,获得新住宿机会。然而,新公寓需爬五段楼梯才能到达,给她们带来新挑战。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他们一看到这一幕,Emily就想哭。”可知,第一段可描写Alice鼓励Emily以及爬楼梯的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“打开公寓的门,他们知道一切都是值得的。”可知,第二段可描写公寓的舒适和美丽景色以及对陌生人的善良和自己坚持不懈的力量感到感激。
2. 续写线索:想哭——安慰鼓励——成功爬完楼梯——看见干净的公寓和美丽的景色——感觉值得——感激。

There are competitions held all over the world that attract millions of viewers every year. Here are four of the craziest competitions in the world.
Worm (幼虫) Charming Championship
This competition involves contestants using a small area of grass and a number of different methods to try and attract as many worms as possible from the ground in a set amount of time. Participants use everything to make noise in the ground to try and drive the worms out. The current world record is held by 10-year-old Sophie Smith from England, who in 2009 collected 567 worms in 30 minutes.
Toe (脚趾头) Wrestling Competition
The wonderful sport of toe wrestling was first thought up in a pub in Wetton, England, in 1974. Four friends were angry at the fact that the UK never produced any world champions and so created a sport that they could succeed in. The competition has gained in popularity and there is a regular world championship held in Ashbourne, England, every year. It’s very similar to arm wrestling and sees competitors lock toes and wrestle until one of them “pins” the other’s foot for 3 seconds.
World Beard and Moustache Championship
The competition has been running since 1990. Competitors come from all over the world to see who can grow and style the best beard and moustache. The competition actually has 17 different categories, including Best Freestyle Moustache, Best Natural Goatee and the all-time classic: Best Natural Full Beard and Styled Moustache.
Sauna (桑拿浴) Championship
The World Sauna Championships were held in Heinola, Finland and ran from 1999 to 2010. The crazy competition saw contestants sit in a sauna for as long as possible, with the winner being the last person standing (or rather sitting and sweating). The starting temperature was 110 degrees and water would be poured onto the stove every 30 seconds. The competition came to an end in 2010, though, when tragedy struck and one of the contestants died during the event and another was severely injured.
1. What does the text say about Worm Charming Championship?
A. It has no time limit. B. Its records are broken frequently.
C. It has no requirement for tools used. D. Its participants are mainly teenagers.
2. Why was Toe Wrestling Competition created?
A. To raise people’s interest in sports.
B. To compete against arm wrestling.
C. To demonstrate the creativity of the English.
D. To give the English a chance to be world champions.
3. Which competition is no longer held?
A. Sauna Championship. B. Toe Wrestling Competition.
C. Worm Charming Championship. D. World Beard and Moustache Championship.
B
An African penguin named Mr. Greedy died at Baltimore’s Maryland Zoo last week at the age of 33, surpassing his species’ median life expectancy of 18 years. His secret to longevity? Fathering lots of penguins, apparently.
Zoo officials said Mr. Greedy helped rebuild the penguin population at zoos across North America. Doing his part to promote the survival of his endangered species, he left behind 230 descendants (子孙) and five generations of offspring as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African Penguin Species Survival Plan.
Mr. Greedy was put to death painlessly following an age-related decline in his health. Jen Kottyan leader of the survival program, said in a statement, “It’s tough to lose an animal who has been such a welcome presence at our zoo for three decades. This bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.”
Mr. Greedy also left behind his lifelong mate Mrs. Greedy. Both birds hatched in 1991 and arrived at the Zoo the following year. The pair had been together since 1994, when they hit reproductive age. Mrs. Greedy is now the Zoo’s oldest penguin. Mr. Greedy earned his name due to his stealing habit. He frequently stole nesting materials and food from others. Mrs. Greedy, who joined her partner in such behaviors, also lives up to her nickname.
In the wake of the loss of her partner, zookeepers are monitoring Mrs. Greedy’s heath. “Her behavior will determine what happens next,” Kottyan said. “On condition that she shows interest, the Zoo will pair her with a single male in the colony (群体) as a companion.”
The wild population of African penguins, native to South Africa and Namibia, has declined by75% over the past 20 years, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, mostly due to the fact that they have great difficulty filling their stomachs. The species’ numbers, once in the millions, have also dropped because of overfishing, human disturbance of nesting grounds, pollution and climate change.

The vast majority of people in the UK have access to a smartphone. Therefore, they try to access TikTok, YouTube, Netflix, and pretty much any other kind of digital media they could possibly want, at any time. As one poster put it on Twitter: “Can’t seem to sleep. Let’s see if the bright light of my phone containing all the information in the entire world held inches away from my face for the next 15 minutes manages to help me fall into a peaceful sleep.”
In theory, being able to access information or entertainment so easily means we should never be bored. But as the University of Toronto’s Katy Y. Y. Tam and Michael Inzlicht explored in a new paper, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, switching between lots of different online content could be making us more, not less, bored.
After an initial study, which confirmed that people are more likely to rapidly switch between shortform videos when they feel more bored, the team conducted further experiments to understand how digital scrolling (滚屏) impacts boredom.
In the first experiment, participants in the no-switching condition watched a ten-minute, unskippable video; those in the switching condition were provided with seven five-minute videos they could skip whenever they wanted. After the ten minutes were up, they reported how bored they felt. Those who couldn’t switch between videos reported being significantly less bored than those who could, and also rated their experience as more satisfying, engaging, and meaningful. These results were repeated in a further study, in which some participants could switch back and forth in time during one video and others had to watch it in one go.
Next, the team took their experiment to the more naturalistic setting of YouTube. After selecting a video at least nine minutes long, some participants were again told they could skip back and forth, while others were told that they had to watch the video through. Again, participants were less bored in the no-switching condition, though there was no difference in satisfaction, attention, or meaningfulness.
Overall, the results suggest a great difference between what we think will help with our boredom and what actually makes us bored. It feels paradoxical: if something feels boring, then it makes sense that we’d jump to something else; but, in reality, this doesn’t seem to do the job.

Combining artificial intelligence (AI) with today’s environmental control systems could reduce energy consumption for indoor agriculture by 25%, potentially helping to feed the world as its population rises, Cornell University engineers have found.
The world population is expected to grow to 9.7 billion by 2050, according to the United Nations. This growth, combined with climate change and urbanization, requires fixes for the disadvantages in the world’s present food production systems, the researchers said.
Indoor farming methods, such as plant factories with artificial lighting, are less sensitive to climate change, but are energy-intensive (能源密集型的) and require careful resource management to be sustainable. “Existing environmental control systems are not smart enough,” said Fengqi You, a professor in energy systems engineering at Cornell University.
By using AI techniques like deep reinforcement learning and computational optimization (最优化), the scientists analyzed lettuce grown in indoor farms within diverse places.
AI reduces energy use by optimizing lighting and climate regulation systems. Energy use dropped to 6.42 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight (energy needed or used to produce one kilogram of indoor-grown lettuce) from 9.5 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight, in places that use non-AI technology. The researchers found that for warmer areas, such as Dubai or the southern U. S. , AI reduced energy usage to 7.26 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight, down from 10.5 kilowatt hours per kilogram of fresh weight.
Low ventilation (通风) during light periods (16 hours of simulated sunlight) and high ventilation during dark periods (8 hours of simulated night) provided an energy-efficient solution for optimal indoor CO2 levels for photosynthesis, oxygen for respiration (呼吸) and plant growth, and balanced other ventilation requirements.
“This is a very similar concept to smart homes,” You said. “We want to be comfortable at home while reducing energy use; so do crops. This work focuses on a smart system to make food production optimal, sustainable and lower the carbon footprint. That’s what AI does very well. We can save quite a bit if we use AI to optimize the artificial lighting and other energy systems carefully.”
12. What’s the finding of Cornell University engineers?
A. AI can help in the fight against climate change.
B. AI can greatly lessen indoor farming energy use.
C. AI can help keep the world population under control.
D. AI can upgrade the existing food production systems.
13. How is paragraph 5 mainly developed?
A. By listing examples. B. By analyzing figures.
C. By giving explanations. D. By making comparisons.
14. What’s You’s attitude towards the application of AI in indoor agriculture?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
15. Where can the text most probably be read?
A. In a science report. B. In an introduction to AI.
C. In a biology textbook. D. In an education magazine.

Your mental health influences how you think, feel, and behave in daily life. It also affects your ability to deal with stress, overcome challenges, build relationships, and recover from life’s setbacks and hardships.
Having solid mental health doesn’t mean that you never go through bad times or experience emotional problems. We all go through disappointments, loss and change. These are normal parts of life. ___16___ Just as physically healthy people are better able to bounce back from illness or injury, people with strong mental health are better able to bounce back from adversity (逆境), and stress. This ability is called resilience (适应力).
People who are emotionally and mentally resilient have the tools for dealing with difficult situations and maintaining a positive outlook. ___17___ Their resilience also makes them less afraid of new experiences and an uncertain future. Even when they don’t immediately know how a problem will be solved, they’re hopeful that a solution will eventually be found.
Anyone can suffer from mental or emotional health problems over a lifetime; most of us will. Therefore, mental health problems are quite common. ___18___ We ignore the emotional messages that tell us something is wrong and try toughing it out by distracting (使分心) ourselves. We bottle up our problems in the hope that others won’t notice. ___19___ Or we simply give up—telling ourselves this is “just the way we are.”
___20___ There are practices you can adopt to lift your mood, become more resilient, and enjoy life more. But just as it requires effort to build and maintain physical health, so it does with mental health. We have to work harder these days to ensure strong mental health, simply because there are so many ways that life has a bad effect on our emotional well-being.
A. The good news is that you don’t have to feel bad.
B. Besides, developing mental strength is a lifelong journey.
C. However, they can still cause sadness, anxiety, and stress.
D. We hope our situation will eventually improve on its own.
E. However, many of us make no effort to improve our situation.
F. Strong mental health isn’t just the absence of mental health problems.
G. They remain focused, flexible, and productive, both in bad times and good.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In June 2021, Alice and her sister, Emily, took a plane to Budapest. It was a very long journey, with quite a few brief stays along the way. When they finally arrived at the airport in the afternoon, after about 24 hours, the two sisters were both tired and stressed. As a result, they carried their three heavy suitcases, stopped a taxi, got into it and headed to their rented apartment right away.
“We got to the apartment and no check-in instructions had arrived,” Alice said. “The owner was not available at that moment and the phone was powered off all the time.”
Then they tried calling customer service, but not a live person was available, either. They could do nothing but chat with a robot, but their problem was too complicated for the system. It couldn’t get their meaning. The two sisters were getting more and more tired. So Alice used the app to reach out to some of the owners of nearby apartments. “And the third one that I texted said, ’Yes, my apartment is still available. You can go and check in. Here is the code, ’” Alice said.
Immediately, they grabbed their suitcases and started rolling them down the sidewalk toward the new apartment, though they had no idea whether the apartment would suit them. They walked down a block and around the corner. Then they looked up, but what they saw filled them with fear: A series of five staircases, winding up the hill. It meant that they would have to climb to reach the street with their apartment building.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As soon as they saw that, Emily just wanted to cry.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Opening the door of the apartment, they knew everything was worthwhile.
