Growing up, I hated exercise, but things changed when I turned 40. I developed a painful thing in my neck caused by weight increases. I was told it wasn’t dangerous but could lead to long-term pain. I knew I had to make a change.
I began doing 15 minutes of jumping rope at home or swimming at my local gym daily. I also cut out the chocolate and fast food and introduced a healthier diet.
I felt fitter and happier within just a few days of moving more and eating more healthily, but this kind of lifestyle change isn’t always easy for women in my country. It’s considered a cultural custom (风俗) for women to avoid showing their skin (皮肤) in public, which can make gymwear and swimwear difficult. This means many women aren’t taught to swim as children.
I wanted to prove to other women in my country that showing your skin and exercising for your own health is nothing to feel bad about. I felt the need to help them experience the confidence swimming was giving me.
With the support of my parents, I began sharing photos and videos of myself in swimwear and actively swimming on social media. I received so many comments from other women thanking me and asking me to teach them how to swim. It was a big deal for them to see me, in my 40s, taking swimming so seriously and having such huge rewards (回报), and I jumped at the chance to help them.
Now, three months later, I’m a swimming teacher with a waiting list of 40 women who I teach in person, in small groups at my local gym. My goal is to make it accessible (可得到) to everyone; if my mum can jump into the water and do tumble turns (滚翻转身) at 71, anyone can.
4. What led the author to change her lifestyle?
A. The pain in her neck. B. Her mother’s lifestyle.
C. Her doctor’s suggestion. D. The increase in her stress.
5. Why is the author’s new lifestyle hard for other women in her country?
A. They are not supposed to stay long in public.
B. It is considered time-wasting for them to do exercise.
C. It is considered improper to show their skin in public.
D. They are often asked to stay at home and care for the family.
6. What is the author’s parents’ attitude toward her sharing her swimming life online?
A. Uncaring. B. Supportive. C. Fearful. D. Curious.
7. What is the author’s goal?
A. To become a great swimming teacher.
B. To form a swimming group at her local gym.
C. To encourage her 71-year-old mother to swim.
D. To teach swimming to anyone who wants to swim.

Dogs wag (摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.
Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behavior of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time.
The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers thought the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.
8. The video cameras were used to catch the dogs’ responses because________.
A. it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail wagging
B. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time
C. they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit
D. the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods
9. The underlined word “intensity” in paragraph 3 means________.
A. surprise B. worry C. excitement D. interest
10. When there are no stimuli, a dog will ________.
A. wag to the left B. wag to the right
C. not wag at all D. wag to the left and then to the right
11. The purpose of doing the experiment is ________.
A. to train dogs for their owners B. to help people judge the mood of dogs
C. to help dogs find company D. to help people choose their pet dogs
D
Plastic (塑料) is everywhere. According to the United Nations, a lot of rubbish is thrown into waterways. There’s plastic litter at the bottom of the sea and on top of mountains. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). According to a study, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells (壳). Zuzanna Jagiello is a scientist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She’s the study’s lead author. “Hermit crabs don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.”
Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near the sea. To protect themselves, the crabs usually wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). However, according to the study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been found wearing litter. Of the world’s 16 kinds of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing litter. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. The others wore glass.
Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing litter when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by doing research.
Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are choosing litter instead of snail shells. But they have several ideas. Some sea snail populations are going down. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs choose plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re drawn to its colors.
Scientists agree that plastic pollution badly influences wild animals in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. “It’s a great example of the beauty of adaptation, how some animals are living with humans,” Jagiello says. “What are the long-term influences of these adaptations? We don’t know.”
12 What do we know about hermit crabs?
A. They prefer to live in deep water.
B. They are badly harmed by plastic.
C. Many of them have been seen wearing plastic waste.
D. Most of them like glass because of its brightness.
13. What led scientists to do research on hermit crabs?
A. Studies carried out by Polish scientists.
B. A report from the United Nations.
C. Requirements of nature lovers.
D. Online photos of hermit crabs.
14. How is paragraph 4 developed?
A. By listing possible reasons.
B. By comparing.
C. By explaining research results.
D. By following time order.
15. What does Jagiello think about the hermit crabs’ behavior?
A. She believes it shows they can deal with the changing environment.
B. She believes it can help them live peacefully with humans.
C. She worries it is having a bad influence on other animals.
D. She worries it will make them lose their living space.

If your summer vacation window is wide open, why not consider was to skipping(跳过) July and August altogether? ___16___ However, if you’re set on travelling during high season, you can still save by being flexible(灵活的).

Because of my limp (跛行) since childhood, I never thought about running a marathon. However, when my head teacher said last Friday that a campus marathon was coming up, I really wanted to take part. Considering my physical condition, I started to feel afraid of signing up.
When my friend Eric learned of my situation, he volunteered to be my running partner, determined to help me reach the finish line.
Our training journey was challenging yet satisfying. We spent countless hours running together, starting with short distances and slowly increasing our running distance. Eric’s encouragement and patience were important in keeping me active.
One autumn morning, we set out for our first long training run. With each step, I felt the weight of my leg, but Eric encouraged me to push through. “Keep going and you’ve got this!” Eric’s voice rang through the air. As the weeks passed, I noticed great improvements in my distance and speed. Eric celebrated each small victory I made and I was gradually getting the confidence and courage to take part in the marathon.
On race day, we stood among a large group of runners. Nervous, I looked at Eric, who gave me a comforting smile. When everything was ready, we set off.
The first few miles were hard. My limp became more noticeable, and doubts came into my mind. But Eric’s presence was a great source of encouragement. He cheered me on, reminding me of our months of preparation.
As we neared the end of the marathon, I could see the finish line in sight. But then, just meters away from the finish line, I fell. Pain went through my leg, and at that time, I thought about giving up.
“We’re almost there! Don’t give up!” Eric, running beside me, shouted loudly.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

He helped me up.

I felt fitter and happier within just a few days of moving more and eating more healthily, but this kind of lifestyle change isn’t always easy for women in my country. It’s considered a cultural custom (风俗) for women to avoid showing their skin (皮肤) in public, which can make gymwear and swimwear difficult. This means many women aren’t taught to swim as children.
I wanted to prove to other women in my country that showing your skin and exercising for your own health is nothing to feel bad about. I felt the need to help them experience the confidence swimming was giving me.
With the support of my parents, I began sharing photos and videos of myself in swimwear and actively swimming on social media. I received so many comments from other women thanking me and asking me to teach them how to swim. It was a big deal for them to see me, in my 40s, taking swimming so seriously and having such huge rewards (回报), and I jumped at the chance to help them.
Now, three months later, I’m a swimming teacher with a waiting list of 40 women who I teach in person, in small groups at my local gym. My goal is to make it accessible (可得到的) to everyone; if my mum can jump into the water and do tumble turns (滚翻转身) at 71, anyone can.

Dogs wag (摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.
Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behavior of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time.
The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers thought the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.
8. The video cameras were used to catch the dogs’ responses because________.
A. it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail wagging
B. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time
C. they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit
D. the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods
9. The underlined word “intensity” in paragraph 3 means________.
A. surprise B. worry C. excitement D. interest
10. When there are no stimuli, a dog will ________.
A. wag to the left B. wag to the right
C. not wag at all D. wag to the left and then to the right
11. The purpose of doing the experiment is ________.
A. to train dogs for their owners B. to help people judge the mood of dogs
C. to help dogs find company D. to help people choose their pet dogs
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章一项研究表明,狗的摆动尾巴方向的变化取决于它们的情绪,这一发现有助于人们通过摇尾变化来判断狗的心情。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behavior of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras. (意大利的研究人员研究了30只狗的摇尾行为,用摄像机捕捉它们对一系列刺激的反应)”和最后一段中的“While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs. (虽然没有视频的帮助,摇尾巴的变化不容易被注意到,但人们认为这些发现可以帮助人们判断狗的情绪)”可知,没有摄像机的帮助,人们很难发现狗的摇尾变化,所以在狗摇动尾巴时,摄像机更容易捕捉到狗的反应变化。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段中的“The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. (的里亚斯特大学的Giorgio Vallortigara教授领导的研究人员发现,当狗狗们看到它们的主人时——这是一个积极的体验——它们的尾巴积极地向右摇摆。当它们看到一个不熟悉的人类时,它们的尾巴向右摇摆,但是没有那么热情。一只猫的出现再次引起了尾巴向右边摇摆,尽管intensity再次变小了)”可知,这三个例子,同样都在说狗尾巴向右摇摆,但是热情积极的情绪逐渐下降。因此,划线词“intensity”和前面的“energetically”,“enthusiasm”应是同义词,intensity在此处意为“兴奋(excitement)”。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. (当狗没有受到任何刺激时,它们倾向于向左摇尾巴,这表明它们更喜欢有人陪伴)”可知,当没有刺激时,狗会向左摇尾巴。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach. (虽然没有视频的帮助,摇尾巴的变化不容易被注意到,但人们认为这些发现可以帮助人们判断狗的情绪。例如,计算机和视频系统可以被专业的训狗师用来确定他们需要接近的狗的情绪)”可知,此实验能帮助人们判断狗的情绪,因此做这个实验的目的是帮助人们判断狗的情绪。故选B项。
D
Plastic (塑料) is everywhere. According to the United Nations, a lot of rubbish is thrown into waterways. There’s plastic litter at the bottom of the sea and on top of mountains. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). According to a study, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells (壳). Zuzanna Jagiello is a scientist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She’s the study’s lead author. “Hermit crabs don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.”
Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near the sea. To protect themselves, the crabs usually wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). However, according to the study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been found wearing litter. Of the world’s 16 kinds of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing litter. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. The others wore glass.
Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing litter when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by doing research.
Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are choosing litter instead of snail shells. But they have several ideas. Some sea snail populations are going down. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs choose plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re drawn to its colors.
Scientists agree that plastic pollution badly influences wild animals in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. “It’s a great example of the beauty of adaptation, how some animals are living with humans,” Jagiello says. “What are the long-term influences of these adaptations? We don’t know.”
12. What do we know about hermit crabs?
A. They prefer to live in deep water.
B. They are badly harmed by plastic.
C. Many of them have been seen wearing plastic waste.
D. Most of them like glass because of its brightness.
13. What led scientists to do research on hermit crabs?
A. Studies carried out by Polish scientists.
B. A report from the United Nations.
C. Requirements of nature lovers.
D. Online photos of hermit crabs.
14. How is paragraph 4 developed?
A. By listing possible reasons.
B. By comparing.
C. By explaining research results.
D. By following time order.
15. What does Jagiello think about the hermit crabs’ behavior?
A. She believes it shows they can deal with the changing environment.
B. She believes it can help them live peacefully with humans.
C. She worries it is having a bad influence on other animals.
D. She worries it will make them lose their living space.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了寄居蟹使用塑料垃圾作为壳的现象,并探讨了可能的原因以及科学家对此的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段提到“Of the world’s 16 kinds of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing litter. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps.(在世界上的16种生活在陆地上的寄居蟹中,有10种被看到携带垃圾。其中近十分之九的寄居蟹身上都带着塑料垃圾,比如瓶盖)”可知,许多寄居蟹身上都带着塑料垃圾。故选C。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are choosing litter instead of snail shells. But they have several ideas. Some sea snail populations are going down. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs choose plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re drawn to its colors.(科学家们不确定为什么寄居蟹会选择垃圾而不是海螺壳。但他们有几个想法。一些海螺的数量正在减少。寄居蟹可能会转向垃圾,因为它们找不到足够的海螺壳。也有可能螃蟹选择塑料是因为它轻便易携带。或者它们被塑料的颜色所吸引)”可知,本段是通过列举可能的原因展开的。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. ‘It’s a great example of the beauty of adaptation, how some animals are living with humans,’ Jagiello says.(但目前还不清楚这些螃蟹是否处于危险之中。Jagiello说:‘这是一个适应之美的绝佳例子,展示了某些动物是如何与人类共存的’)”可知,Jagiello认为这表明寄居蟹能够应对不断变化的环境。故选A。

考查动词时态语态。句意同上。根据时间状语“In the 16th century”可知,句子描述的是过去的事件,且Peru是被动地接受统治,所以使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was ruled。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:因此,西班牙语是该国的主要官方语言。前后句之间存在因果关系。因为秘鲁曾被西班牙统治,所以西班牙语是该国的主要官方语言。因此,此处应填表示因果关系的连词so,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填So。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:秘鲁有许多名胜古迹。lots of后面应跟可数名词的复数形式,使用短语places of interest,此处表示“许多名胜古迹”。故填places。

【45题详解】

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Because of my limp (跛行) since childhood, I never thought about running a marathon. However, when my head teacher said last Friday that a campus marathon was coming up, I really wanted to take part. Considering my physical condition, I started to feel afraid of signing up.
When my friend Eric learned of my situation, he volunteered to be my running partner, determined to help me reach the finish line.
Our training journey was challenging yet satisfying. We spent countless hours running together, starting with short distances and slowly increasing our running distance. Eric’s encouragement and patience were important in keeping me active.
One autumn morning, we set out for our first long training run. With each step, I felt the weight of my leg, but Eric encouraged me to push through. “Keep going and you’ve got this!” Eric’s voice rang through the air. As the weeks passed, I noticed great improvements in my distance and speed. Eric celebrated each small victory I made and I was gradually getting the confidence and courage to take part in the marathon.
On race day, we stood among a large group of runners. Nervous, I looked at Eric, who gave me a comforting smile. When everything was ready, we set off.
The first few miles were hard. My limp became more noticeable, and doubts came into my mind. But Eric’s presence was a great source of encouragement. He cheered me on, reminding me of our months of preparation.
As we neared the end of the marathon, I could see the finish line in sight. But then, just meters away from the finish line, I fell. Pain went through my leg, and at that time, I thought about giving up.
“We’re almost there! Don’t give up!” Eric, running beside me, shouted loudly.

【答案】 He helped me up. With his support, I got my strength back and limped forward even though each step was a war against pain and tiredness. The cheers of the crowd disappeared into the background as Eric’s voice caught all of my attention, guiding me forward. Finally, together with Eric, I crossed the finish line. I couldn’t believe it. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized I’d finally made it as a marathon runner. Seeing me achieve this milestone, Eric’s eyes shone with pride and happiness.
I hugged Eric close and felt truly thankful. It was his selflessness and belief in me that pushed me to achieve a dream I once thought impossible. Thinking back to that unforgettable day, I realized the true meaning of friendship. Eric not only helped me face my physical challenges but also taught me the power of never giving up. Together, we showed that with determination and a supportive friend by your side, any challenge can be solved.
