Every year, national parks are crowded with visitors. Here are the top four named by The National Park Service.
Glacier National Park
In 1910, Glacier was established as the country’s 10th national park. Take advantage of the park’s expansive hiking trails(路线), and be sure to hit traveler favorites like the Trail of the Cedars and Iceberg Lake Trail. What’s more, Glacier National Park hosts plenty of free activities like guided hikes and appealing events ideal for visitors of all ages.
Grand Canyon National Park
First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve, the Grand Canyon became an official US national park in 1919. The park offers endless hiking opportunities with trails of various lengths, as well as the chance to raft(漂流)the Colorado River. And if you’re looking for a different point, consider a helicopter tour to learn more about the park and see it in all its glory from above.
Yellowstone National Park
The world famous site became the first national park in the U. S. on March 1,1872, when President Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. Here, hikers can get lost in the beauty of the lakes, mountains, valleys and, of course, its unmatched hot springs. To avoid the crowds that often trouble Yellowstone, plan to visit in April, May, September or October.
Yosemite National Park
First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park stands out for its impressive waterfalls. The best time to see waterfalls is during spring, when most of the snowmelt occurs. There are also plenty of scenic hiking and camping opportunities. Just keep in mind that campsites sell out quickly after becoming available for booking, so make your reservations in advance.
21. Which park may attract people interested in water activities?
A. Glacier National Park. B. Yosemite National Park.
C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Grand Canyon National Park.
22. What does Yellowstone National Park feature?

C. Hot springs. D. Air tours.
23. What do the four national parks have in common?

Working at an investment bank in New York City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was living the life—just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level.
Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. The Adamah program opened Sacks’s eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. From then on, she began what she calls “trash (垃圾) walking.”
While walking around her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through rubbish to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company rubbish along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff—like clothing, dinnerware, and food—all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational, funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable life. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. Sacks’s videos have gone viral many times, causing shockwaves through the industries she calls out.
Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much of her “treasure” with others. She tries giving them informally to family, friends, or individuals she knows may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items to free stores so other New Yorkers can benefit from her treasure-hunting.
Sacks’s main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.
24. What inspired Sacks to begin her “trash walking”?
A. Her desire to live a richer life. B. The great need for household stuff.
C. Her involvement in a project. D. The wish to be an Internet star.
25. What do Sacks’ videos focus on?
A. Funny stories. B. Views on consumption.
C. Educational courses. D. Solutions to problems.
26. How does Sacks deal with her trash?
A. She donates all to the charity. B. She keeps most for her family.
C. She gives away much to others. D. She sells some to individuals.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Trash Walker: Find Treasure in Trash.
B. Trash Walking: A Tough Journey.
C. Trash Walker: Live in the Moment.
D. Trash Walking: A New Career.
C
When a snowstorm blanketed my city one December morning, I awoke, immediately put on my warmest clothes and dashed outside to build a snowman. But as I was halfway to a snow angel, I had an audience—a serious-looking couple. The moment I spotted their expressions, my face flushed with shame as I murmured an answer to their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do?
A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undeniably odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. New research suggests we modern adults have controlled or hidden our nature of play, and that’s causing all kinds of problems “The adult play deficit is becoming a public health crisis,” says psychiatrist and play researcher Stuart Brown, “The opposite of play isn’t work; it’s depression.”
Actually, adult play can lead to useful discoveries, which is a theory supported by a study on Bali’s long-tailed monkeys. Researchers left two types of puzzle boxes for the monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to either drop a rock into the container or use it to hit the box. They found the monkeys that previously had been observed dropping rocks for fun were more likely to solve the rock-dropping puzzle, while those who had discovered the joy of clacking rocks together came up with the answer to the percussive (敲击的) puzzle.
This finding also suggests that somewhere, deep in our evolutionary history, a playful primitive human came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks and scientific breakthroughs. “When I interviewed Nobel winners, I was struck by how most of them didn’t separate work from play. Their labs were their playgrounds.” Brown says, “Play gives us the ability to cooperate and get along with people who differ from us.”
So next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say, “I am not wasting time, or acting immaturely. I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity.”
28. What can we learn about the couple from Paragraph 1?
A. They may disapprove of the author’s behavior.
B. They showed great interest in the author’s act.
C. They are more mature and sensible people.
D. They had something better to deal with.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deficit” in Paragraph 2?
A Pressure. B. Addiction. C. Shortage. D. Disadvantage.
30. Why is the interview of Nobel winners mentioned?
A. To suggest how people should play. B. To highlight the value of adult play.
C. To evaluate the findings of the study. D. To introduce the study participants.
31. What message does the author intend to convey?
A Work comes before play. B. Work without play is rewarded.
C. When the cat’s away, the mice will play. D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
D
Laughter has long been known as a universal language that can bring people closer together. However, not many people know that it can also cause physical pain. “Hah! I’ve been fooled!” said Bob as he realized he had fallen victim to one of Alice’s practical jokes. Bob’s upper back is in pain where Alice patted and a burning sensation shoots up to his head.
Is laughter always good for our health? A new study suggests that while laughing does cause the release of “happy hormones” in the brain, it can also lead to discomfort in the upper body. The study, led by Professor Wang from the Beijing-based Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, involved 300 healthy participants, aged between 20 and 45 years old. Half of them were exposed to laughter, while the other half were not.
The study found that those who were exposed to laughter reported feeling more social connection and happiness than those who were not. However, the laughing group also reported experiencing more discomfort in their upper backs and heads. “Laughter can bring people closer together, but it can also activate the stretch receptors (伸展感受器) in the diaphragm (横膈膜), causing discomfort,” said Wang in an interview.
Previous research has linked laughter to improved immunity (免疫力), lower blood pressure, and overall well-being. Laughter has also been shown to improve the function of mitochondria (线粒体), which are the energy factories inside cells. However, like any other physical activity, laughing too much can also cause tiredness and shortness of breath. “Moderation (适度) is key, that is, you can’t laugh too much.” said Professor Xu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who was not involved in the study. “While laughter is good for us, we should also be mindful of how much we laugh.”
The findings of the study suggest that the health benefits of laughter are not automatic; rather, they require a balance between enjoyment and awareness of discomfort.
32. What’s the function of Bob’s experience in paragraph 1?
A. To explain a concept. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show a public concern. D. To describe a vivid story.
33. What can we learn from Professor Wang’s study?
A. People are too happy to be exposed to laughter.
B. People are likely to feel discomfort while laughing.
C. Laughing more is beneficial to improving our health.
D. Laughing is the best way to become socially connected.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss?
A. The health benefits of laughter.
B. The side effects of never laughing.
C. The importance of moderation in laughing.
D. The connection between laughter and discomfort.
35. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Laughter can help us stay healthy automatically.
B. Laughter definitely goes hand in hand with discomfort.
C. We should laugh more to keep ourselves joyful and healthy.
D. It’s necessary for us to strike a balance between laughter and comfort.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s very common these days for people to have a gym plan. Whatever the drive behind it, it is impossible for people to take some sort of regular exercise each week.
But if you’ve never done it before, what’s the best way to go about it? Well, many people make use of a PT—that’s a personal trainer. This might be because they’re wet behind the ears or maybe they just don’t want to design their own workout plan. A PT will create a proper plan for you based on your aims. ____36____ And, better still, they will teach you how to move in a way that won’t weaken you.
____37____ Each hourly session can be expensive because you have to pay both the PT and membership of the gym, too. If you are short of cash then regular sessions might be out of your budget.
So what’s left? ____38____ It’s relatively easy to do if you have the know-how. But before you do, here are some basic pointers.
First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down, bulk up(健壮), or increase your abilities? Whatever it is, make sure the things you choose to do are in pursuit of that goal. Next, do your research. These days, social media is chock-full of fitness videos and advice. Watch as many of these as possible and be a little critical of them. Finally, keep your feet on the ground. ____39____ It takes at least three months to see any realistic body changes. And don’t exercise too much—never work in pain—a good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. ____40____
If nothing else, focus on calisthenics(健美操)—these are the basic body movements which everyone can do anywhere, even at home.
A. Pain means you are damaging yourself.
B. They will charge you for their train work.
C. They will tailor it to your current abilities.
D. However, the trade-off with a PT is the price.
E. Be patient with yourself and set realistic goals.
F. Make sure that the place where you exercise is good.
G. Well, if you have the courage for it, you can make your own plan.

I used to be very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I won the long jump and was a fairly good runner. As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet.
The meeting lasted two days. I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete.
The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 4×100 meters relay race later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was wrong. I was not the best at all. 3.65 meters was not bad. Then there was Typhoon, who jumped over 4 meters! That was quite an achievement for a ten-year-old boy. I thought maybe getting a second place was also acceptable. However, when we finished our jumps, I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 4×100 meters relay, for which I was to run the third leg. The race time arrived. We stepped to our places and prepared for the race. After a minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. My heart beat so fast. When the first runners took off, I watched with held breath as my team runners kept up with the others. They were great! As they got closer, I realized we were almost in first place. I felt my blood began to boil when my teammate passed the baton(接力棒) on to my hand.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took the baton and began my run.

【原文】M: This is a message for Marco Taylor. My name is David Wilson. I’m sorry I missed your call. I know you want some information about the volleyball club. The club meets once a week on Thursday evening. There are sometimes matches on Sunday morning, but those are just for our players. Our meetings begin at seven thirty and are about two hours long. Most people like to get home in time for the sports program on television at ten o’clock. We meet in Jubilee Hall just in the park street. The hall doesn’t have very good heating so you’ll need to bring a sweater to put on afterwards. The hall is quite expensive to rent so we need to pay thirty pounds each week. I hope this answers your questions and will be very pleased to see you at our next meeting.

Every year, national parks are crowded with visitors. Here are the top four named by The National Park Service.
Glacier National Park
In 1910, Glacier was established as the country’s 10th national park. Take advantage of the park’s expansive hiking trails(路线), and be sure to hit traveler favorites like the Trail of the Cedars and Iceberg Lake Trail. What’s more, Glacier National Park hosts plenty of free activities like guided hikes and appealing events ideal for visitors of all ages.
Grand Canyon National Park
First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve, the Grand Canyon became an official US national park in 1919. The park offers endless hiking opportunities with trails of various lengths, as well as the chance to raft(漂流)the Colorado River. And if you’re looking for a different point, consider a helicopter tour to learn more about the park and see it in all its glory from above.
Yellowstone National Park
The world famous site became the first national park in the U. S. on March 1,1872, when President Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. Here, hikers can get lost in the beauty of the lakes, mountains, valleys and, of course, its unmatched hot springs. To avoid the crowds that often trouble Yellowstone, plan to visit in April, May, September or October.
Yosemite National Park
First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park stands out for its impressive waterfalls. The best time to see waterfalls is during spring, when most of the snowmelt occurs. There are also plenty of scenic hiking and camping opportunities. Just keep in mind that campsites sell out quickly after becoming available for booking, so make your reservations in advance.

Working at an investment bank in New York City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was living the life—just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level.
Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. The Adamah program opened Sacks’s eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. From then on, she began what she calls “trash (垃圾) walking.”
While walking around her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through rubbish to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company rubbish along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff—like clothing, dinnerware, and food—all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational, funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable life. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. Sacks’s videos have gone viral many times, causing shockwaves through the industries she calls out.
Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much of her “treasure” with others. She tries giving them informally to family, friends, or individuals she knows may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items to free stores so other New Yorkers can benefit from her treasure-hunting.
Sacks’s main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.
24. What inspired Sacks to begin her “trash walking”?
A. Her desire to live a richer life. B. The great need for household stuff.
C. Her involvement in a project. D. The wish to be an Internet star.
25. What do Sacks’ videos focus on?
A. Funny stories. B. Views on consumption.
C. Educational courses. D. Solutions to problems.
26. How does Sacks deal with her trash?
A. She donates all to the charity. B. She keeps most for her family.
C. She gives away much to others. D. She sells some to individuals.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Trash Walker: Find Treasure in Trash.
B. Trash Walking: A Tough Journey.
C. Trash Walker: Live in the Moment.
D. Trash Walking: A New Career.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫Anna Sacks的女性的生活经历和她对可持续生活方式的独特贡献,她通过“垃圾漫步”来减少浪费,提高人们对可持续生活方式的认识。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. The Adamah program opened Sacks’s eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. From then on, she began what she calls “trash (垃圾) walking.”(Sacks结束了自己的生活,搬到了康涅狄格州,在那里住了三个月,参加了一个名为Adamah的犹太农业项目,该项目专注于可持续的生活和种植可持续的食物。Adamah项目让Sacks看到了消费文化在地方、国家和全球层面上造成的损害,以及找到解决方案的必要性。从那时起,她开始了她所谓的“垃圾漫步”)”可知,Sacks参加了一个项目后,看到了消费文化在地方、国家和全球层面上造成的损害,以及找到解决方案的必要性,于是她开始了“垃圾漫步”。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational, funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable life. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. (Sacks以“垃圾漫步者”的名字迅速走红,因为她的有教育性的、有趣和令人惊讶的视频突出了消费主义的问题,并分享了如何过上更可持续的生活的信息。她说:“根本问题是生产过剩,生产过剩导致消费过剩,消费过剩导致大量浪费。”)”可知,Sacks的视频主要是和消费主义相关,包括她对消费的看法。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much of her “treasure” with others. She tries giving them informally to family, friends, or individuals she knows may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items to free stores so other New Yorkers can benefit from her treasure-hunting.(“垃圾漫步”给Sacks了几乎无穷无尽的供应,她与他人分享了她的大部分“宝藏”。她试着把它们非正式地送给家人、朋友或她知道可能需要某件特定物品的个人。然后,她把剩下的东西送到免费商店,这样其他纽约人就可以从她的寻宝活动中受益)”可知,Sacks将大部分的垃圾送给了家人、朋友和免费商店。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章主要介绍了Anna Sacks通过“垃圾漫步”活动在垃圾中寻找可重复使用的物品,并将这些“宝藏”分享给他人的故事。因此,A选项“Trash Walker: Find Treasure in Trash (垃圾漫步者:在垃圾中寻找宝藏)”最符合文章的主题和主要内容,能够准确概括文章的核心思想。故选A。
C
When a snowstorm blanketed my city one December morning, I awoke, immediately put on my warmest clothes and dashed outside to build a snowman. But as I was halfway to a snow angel, I had an audience—a serious-looking couple. The moment I spotted their expressions, my face flushed with shame as I murmured an answer to their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do?
A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undeniably odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. New research suggests we modern adults have controlled or hidden our nature of play, and that’s causing all kinds of problems “The adult play deficit is becoming a public health crisis,” says psychiatrist and play researcher Stuart Brown, “The opposite of play isn’t work; it’s depression.”
Actually, adult play can lead to useful discoveries, which is a theory supported by a study on Bali’s long-tailed monkeys. Researchers left two types of puzzle boxes for the monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to either drop a rock into the container or use it to hit the box. They found the monkeys that previously had been observed dropping rocks for fun were more likely to solve the rock-dropping puzzle, while those who had discovered the joy of clacking rocks together came up with the answer to the percussive (敲击的) puzzle.
This finding also suggests that somewhere, deep in our evolutionary history, a playful primitive human came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks and scientific breakthroughs. “When I interviewed Nobel winners, I was struck by how most of them didn’t separate work from play. Their labs were their playgrounds.” Brown says, “Play gives us the ability to cooperate and get along with people who differ from us.”
So next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say, “I am not wasting time, or acting immaturely. I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity.”
28. What can we learn about the couple from Paragraph 1?
A. They may disapprove of the author’s behavior.
B. They showed great interest in the author’s act.
C. They are more mature and sensible people.
D. They had something better to deal with.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deficit” in Paragraph 2?
A. Pressure. B. Addiction. C. Shortage. D. Disadvantage.
30. Why is the interview of Nobel winners mentioned?
A. To suggest how people should play. B. To highlight the value of adult play.
C. To evaluate the findings of the study. D. To introduce the study participants.
31. What message does the author intend to convey?
A. Work comes before play. B. Work without play is rewarded.
C. When the cat’s away, the mice will play. D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了成人玩乐对于创造力、合作和问题解决能力等方面的积极影响。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But as I was halfway to a snow angel, I had an audience—a serious-looking couple. The moment I spotted their expressions, my face flushed with shame as I murmured an answer to their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do?(但就在我要变成雪天使的时候,我有了一群观众——一对表情严肃的夫妇。当我看到他们的表情时,我的脸羞愧得通红,我低声回答了他们没有说出来的问题:你没有更好的事情要做吗?)”可知,这对夫妇对作者行为感到不解,由此可推测,这对夫妇可能不太赞成作者的玩雪的行为。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“New research suggests we modern adults have controlled or hidden our nature of play, and that’s causing all kinds of problems(新的研究表明,我们现代的成年人已经控制或隐藏了我们的玩乐本质,这导致了各种各样的问题。)”可知,研究表明,成年人隐藏了自己的玩乐本质。由此可知,成年人缺乏玩乐。划线单词和“缺乏”意思相似。选项A“Pressure (压力)”;选项B“Addiction (成瘾)”;选项C“Shortage (短缺)”;选项D“Disadvantage (缺点、劣势)”。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks and scientific breakthroughs. “When I interviewed Nobel winners, I was struck by how most of them didn’t separate work from play. Their labs were their playgrounds.” Brown says, “Play gives us the ability to cooperate and get along with people who differ from us.” (即使在今天,人类最伟大的发明、艺术作品和科学突破的基础仍然是玩耍的欲望。“当我采访诺贝尔奖得主时,令我震惊的是,他们中的大多数人都没有把工作和娱乐分开。他们的实验室就是他们的游乐场。” Brown说:“玩耍赋予我们与不同的人合作和相处的能力。”)”可知,文章提到对诺贝尔奖得主的采访是为了说明人类最伟大的发明、艺术作品和科学突破的基础仍然是玩耍的欲望,也就是成人玩乐的重要性。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say, “I am not wasting time, or acting immaturely. I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity.”(所以下次当我被发现玩游戏时,我很清楚自己该说什么:“我不是在浪费时间,也不是表现得不成熟。我在为全人类的利益而战。”)”以及全文内容可知,文章作者通过描述自己在暴风雪中玩耍的经历,以及引用心理学家Stuart Brown的观点,强调了玩耍和娱乐对于成年人的重要性。作者认为,过度工作会导致心理健康问题,而玩耍和娱乐则有助于缓解压力、提高创造力和合作能力。因此,作者鼓励读者在忙碌的工作之余,也要抽出时间进行娱乐活动,以保持身心健康和创造力。选项D“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(只工作不玩耍,聪明的孩子也变傻)”所表达正是这个意思。故选D。
D
Laughter has long been known as a universal language that can bring people closer together. However, not many people know that it can also cause physical pain. “Hah! I’ve been fooled!” said Bob as he realized he had fallen victim to one of Alice’s practical jokes. Bob’s upper back is in pain where Alice patted and a burning sensation shoots up to his head.
Is laughter always good for our health? A new study suggests that while laughing does cause the release of “happy hormones” in the brain, it can also lead to discomfort in the upper body. The study, led by Professor Wang from the Beijing-based Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, involved 300 healthy participants, aged between 20 and 45 years old. Half of them were exposed to laughter, while the other half were not.
The study found that those who were exposed to laughter reported feeling more social connection and happiness than those who were not. However, the laughing group also reported experiencing more discomfort in their upper backs and heads. “Laughter can bring people closer together, but it can also activate the stretch receptors (伸展感受器) in the diaphragm (横膈膜), causing discomfort,” said Wang in an interview.
Previous research has linked laughter to improved immunity (免疫力), lower blood pressure, and overall well-being. Laughter has also been shown to improve the function of mitochondria (线粒体), which are the energy factories inside cells. However, like any other physical activity, laughing too much can also cause tiredness and shortness of breath. “Moderation (适度) is key, that is, you can’t laugh too much.” said Professor Xu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who was not involved in the study. “While laughter is good for us, we should also be mindful of how much we laugh.”
The findings of the study suggest that the health benefits of laughter are not automatic; rather, they require a balance between enjoyment and awareness of discomfort.
32. What’s the function of Bob’s experience in paragraph 1?
A. To explain a concept. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show a public concern. D. To describe a vivid story.
33. What can we learn from Professor Wang’s study?
A. People are too happy to be exposed to laughter.
B. People are likely to feel discomfort while laughing.
C. Laughing more is beneficial to improving our health.
D. Laughing is the best way to become socially connected.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss?
A. The health benefits of laughter.
B. The side effects of never laughing.
C. The importance of moderation in laughing.
D. The connection between laughter and discomfort.
35. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Laughter can help us stay healthy automatically.
B. Laughter definitely goes hand in hand with discomfort.
C. We should laugh more to keep ourselves joyful and healthy.
D. It’s necessary for us to strike a balance between laughter and comfort.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,一项新的研究表明笑也会给人类的身体健康带来负面作用,我们要找到笑与舒适之间的平衡点。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第一段“However, not many people know that it can also cause physical pain. “Hah! I’ve been fooled!” said Bob as he realized he had fallen victim to one of Alice’s practical jokes. Bob’s upper back is in pain where Alice patted and a burning sensation shoots up to his head.(然而,没有多少人知道它也会导致身体疼痛。“哈!我被骗了!鲍勃说,他意识到自己成了爱丽丝恶作剧的牺牲品。鲍勃的上背部很痛,爱丽丝拍了拍,他的头部有一种灼烧感)”和第二段首句“Is laughter always good for our health? (笑总是对我们的健康有好处吗)”可知,第一段描述Bob的经历是为了引出这个话题。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“However, the laughing group also reported experiencing more discomfort in their upper backs and heads.(然而,笑的那一组也报告说,他们的上背部和头部感到更多的不适)”可知,人们在笑的时候更可能会感觉不舒服。故选B项。
3.主旨大意题。根据第四段“However, like any other physical activity, laughing too much can also cause tiredness and shortness of breath. “Moderation is key, that is, you can’t laugh too much.” said Professor Xu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who was not involved in the study.(然而,就像任何其他身体活动一样,笑得太多也会导致疲劳和呼吸急促。“适度是关键,也就是说,你不能笑得太多。”上海交通大学的徐教授说,他没有参与这项研究)”可知,本段的主旨大意为“适度笑的重要性”。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings of the study suggest that the health benefits of laughter are not automatic; rather, they require a balance between enjoyment and awareness of discomfort.(研究结果表明,笑对健康的好处不是自动的;相反,它们需要在享受和不舒服的意识之间取得平衡)”可知,笑带来的健康益处不是自动的,而是需要在愉快和意识到不舒服之间找一个平衡点,可知,我们有必要在欢笑和安慰之间取得平衡。故选D项。

It’s very common these days for people to have a gym plan. Whatever the drive behind it, it is impossible for people to take some sort of regular exercise each week.
But if you’ve never done it before, what’s the best way to go about it? Well, many people make use of a PT—that’s a personal trainer. This might be because they’re wet behind the ears or maybe they just don’t want to design their own workout plan. A PT will create a proper plan for you based on your aims. ____36____ And, better still, they will teach you how to move in a way that won’t weaken you.

So what’s left? ____38____ It’s relatively easy to do if you have the know-how. But before you do, here are some basic pointers.
First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down, bulk up(健壮), or increase your abilities? Whatever it is, make sure the things you choose to do are in pursuit of that goal. Next, do your research. These days, social media is chock-full of fitness videos and advice. Watch as many of these as possible and be a little critical of them. Finally, keep your feet on the ground. ____39____ It takes at least three months to see any realistic body changes. And don’t exercise too much—never work in pain—a good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. ____40____
If nothing else, focus on calisthenics(健美操)—these are the basic body movements which everyone can do anywhere, even at home.
A. Pain means you are damaging yourself.
B. They will charge you for their train work.
C. They will tailor it to your current abilities.
D. However, the trade-off with a PT is the price.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。两万多道单独包装的即食佛跳墙最近在沿海的廉江县被打包起来,这是聚春园的招牌餐第一次出口到北美。
【56题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:这是聚春园的招牌餐第一次出口到北美。此处为句型This is the first time that+现在完成时,主语the signature meal of Juchunyuan与export构成被动关系,故用现在完成时的被动语态,助动词用has。故填has been exported。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意:佛跳墙起源于清同治年间(1862-1875)。陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为Fotiaogiang,谓语用第三人称形式形式。故填dates。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:这个食谱最初是在福建省会福州的聚春园餐厅发明的。修饰动词create应用副词originally,作状语。故填originally。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:2008年,聚春源佛跳墙菜谱被列为国家级非物质文化遗产。短语be listed as表示“被列为……”。故填as。
【60题详解】
考查连词。句意:这顿饭采用了来自廉江的食材,按照即食食品的标准进行加工,并通过冷链系统分发,从而保持了传统的风味。此处processed与distributed为并列关系,应用连词and。故填and。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这顿饭采用了来自廉江的食材,按照即食食品的标准进行加工,并通过冷链系统分发,从而保持了传统的风味。此处traditional flavor为特指应用定冠词。故填the。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:由于传统烹饪方法的复杂性,像佛跳腔这样的中国美食很难大量制作和出口。作宾语,表示“复杂性”应用名词complexity,故填complexity。
【63题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:即食食品业务的成熟为中国餐饮企业打入海外市场提供了新的机会。opportunity为可数名词,前文没有冠词故用复数形式。故填opportunities。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:6月,福建省为40多家即食食品供应商举办了一场特别活动,将线上和线下与来自美国和加拿大的10多家买家代表联系起来。此处connect在句中作目的状语,应用不定式。故填to connect。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:未来,中国即食美食将加快向全球扩张,将中国的饮食文化进一步推向世界。分析句子结构可知take在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与上文句子ready-to-cook Chinese delicacies will speed up their global expansion构成主动关系,故用现在分词作结果状语。故填taking。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 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。
I used to be very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I won the long jump and was a fairly good runner. As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet.
The meeting lasted two days. I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete.
The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 4×100 meters relay race later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was wrong. I was not the best at all. 3.65 meters was not bad. Then there was Typhoon, who jumped over 4 meters! That was quite an achievement for a ten-year-old boy. I thought maybe getting a second place was also acceptable. However, when we finished our jumps, I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 4×100 meters relay, for which I was to run the third leg. The race time arrived. We stepped to our places and prepared for the race. After a minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. My heart beat so fast. When the first runners took off, I watched with held breath as my team runners kept up with the others. They were great! As they got closer, I realized we were almost in first place. I felt my blood began to boil when my teammate passed the baton(接力棒) on to my hand.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took the baton and began my run.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We just accepted it was bad luck.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】one possible version:
I took the baton and began my run. The air rushed past me as I moved closer to the next runner. Then disaster struck! A boy run across the track into my path suddenly. I couldn’t get away from him. I knocked into him and we both fell. Because I was young, I was able to quickly pick myself up and continue the race. However, the incident cost us valuable time. I handed the baton to the next runner. He ran with all his might, but it was too late. We’d blown our chance at a medal.
We just accepted it was bad luck. We were young at the time and didn’t know what to say. We didn’t even know we could tell the judge about the accident, for which we could at least get some encouragement. I just felt terrible for letting the team down, but what was done was done, and we had no choice but to accept it. Finally, I left the sports meet empty-handed. Anyway, I learned about failure and how to deal with it, and I am grateful for the lessons.
