The island comes to a standstill for 24 hours, with no lights, music or noise, and everyone must stay at home. Besides, during this period the Bali airport is practically closed. Eid-Ul-Fitr When: 9th — 10th April, 2024 As a country with a significant Muslim population, Eid-Ul-Fitr is an important festival in Indonesia. It is a national holiday. All employees receive bonuses (奖金)and shops have special discounts and decorations during this time. It is customary for children to be gifted small amounts of money in colourful envelopes. Families spend the day making a feast together, consisting of dishes like lemang, dodol, sambal goring and cookies. Baliem Valley Festival When: 8th — 10th August, 2024 This Indonesian festival is unique to the people of Papua, a set of islands in Indonesia’s eastern province. Over 20 tribes of Indonesia come together for this festival that lasts two days. Aside from the mock-war, traditional dances are performed to the traditional Papua music. Pig-racing is also fairly common during this time. Dieng Culture Festival When: 15th August — 15th September, 2024 In central Java, the children in the Dieng Plateau have a fascinating genetic make-up. As they become teenagers, their naturally straight hair starts to form dreadlocks (脏辫). When this happens, they wait till August every year for their hair to be cut off in a ceremony that is the heart of the Dieng Culture Festival in Indonesia. Along with the ceremony, traditional paper lanterns are let go into the sky and puppet shows are held. 1. What is Bali like during the period of Nyepi? A. Silent. B. Lively. C. Noisy. D. Dangerous. 2. How do Indonesians celebrate Eid-Ul-Fitr? A. By cutting off their children’s hair. B. By making traditional paper lanterns. C. By getting together with family members. D.

The island comes to a standstill for 24 hours, with no lights, music or noise, and everyone must stay at home.(Nyepi，也被称为“巴厘岛沉默日”，是萨卡新年日历上的一个重要事件，在三月的新月之后被观察到。整个岛屿陷入24小时的停滞状态，没有灯光、音乐和噪音，所有人都必须呆在家里)”可知，安宁日期间，巴厘岛十分安静。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Eid-U-Fitr部分中“Families spend the day making a feast together, consisting of dishes like lemang, dodol, sambal goring and cookies.(家庭在这一天一起制作盛宴，包括lemang， dodol， sambal goling和饼干等菜肴)”可知，印度尼西亚人通过与家人团聚来庆祝开斋节。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Nyepi部分中“When: 11th — 12th March, 2024 (时间：2024年3月11日至12日)”；Eid-Ul-Fitr部分中“When: 9th — 10th April, 2024(时间：2024年4月9日至10日)”；Baliem Valley Festival部分中“When: 8th — 10th August, 2024(时间：2024年8月8日至10日)”以及Dieng Culture Festival部分中“When: 15th August — 15th September, 2024(时间：2024年8月15日至9月15日)”可知，迪昂文化节持续时间最长，为一个月。故选B。 B Elon Musk has been talking about turning the social media platform Twitter into X for months, while being vague about what that exactly means. Does X represent a major business experiment? A totally new concept for on-line living? Or is it simply one man’s addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet? Probably it’s all of the above, according to Ashlee Vance, the author of Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. In one of his earliest business adventures, Musk called his online bank X. com. That name was later dropped when the platform was bought by a competitor and became PayPal. “Everyone tried to talk him out of naming the company that back then, but he really liked it and refused to give in,” said Vance. X is already in the name of Tesla’s third electric car model, which was announced to the public in 2015. His spaceflight company is called SpaceX. In 2020, Musk even named his youngest son “X E A-12”. But lately, naming his social media platform “X” may refer to Musk’s newest ambition, building an “everything app” like China’s popular WeChat. “He wants to create an app similar to how WeChat is used in China, where it’s part of day-to-day life. You use it to communicate, to consume news, to buy things, to pay your rent, to make appointments with your doctor and even to pay fines,” said Vance. “Following the WeChat model makes sense with what Musk wants for Twitter. The company clearly needs a new, bigger business if it’s to make the type of money that would justify his investment and satisfy his ambition.” But social media experts are questioning about Musk’s “everything app”. “I’m not sure he has enough trust from his user base to get people to actually exchange money or attach any type of financial institution to his app,” Jennifer Grygiel, a professor at Syracuse University, told NPR. “I think this is a way to destroy it, instead of recreating it as something else.” 4. Which is closest in meaning to “vague” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Unspecific. B. Curious. C. Uninterested. D. Eager. 5. What does the X in “X E A-12” most probably stand for? A. Musk’s plan to have 26 babies. B. Musk’s blind love for the letter X. C. Musk’s doubt about his son’s DNA. D. Musk’s ambition to create a new business. 6. What does Ashlee Vance mean in paragraph 5? A. Musk paid too much to buy Twitter. B. WeChat is more popular than Twitter. C. X may indicate Musk’s new business plan. D. It is not safe to model X on China’s WeChat. 7. What is Jennifer Grygiel’s attitude to the “everything app”? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道并探讨了Elon Musk把他新并购的社交媒体Twitter命名为X的原因。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句及其后文“Does X represent a major business experiment? A totally new concept for on-line living? Or is it simply one man’s addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet? (X代表了一个重大的商业实验吗？一个全新的在线生活概念？还是仅仅是一个人对字母表中的第24个字母上瘾？)”一系列疑问可知，埃隆·马斯克一直在谈论将社交媒体平台推特变成X，但对X到底意味着什么并不明确。从而推知划线部分意思是“不明确的”。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Or is it simply one man’s addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet? (还是仅仅是一个人对字母表中的第24个字母上瘾？)”和第三段中“Everyone tried to talk him out of naming the company that back then, but he really liked it and refused to give in (当时所有人都劝他不要给公司取这个名字，但他真的很喜欢这个名字，拒绝让步)”及Elon Musk旗下很多公司的名称中都带有X这一现象可推断，儿子名字“X E A-12”中的X最有可能代表着马斯克对字母X的偏爱。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But lately, naming his social media platform “X” may refer to Musk’s newest ambition, building an “everything app” like China’s popular WeChat. “He wants to create an app similar to how WeChat is used in China, where it’s part of day-to-day life. You use it to communicate, to consume news, to buy things, to pay your rent, to make appointments with your doctor and even to pay fines,” said Vance. “Following the WeChat model makes sense with what Musk wants for Twitter. The company clearly needs a new, bigger business if it’s to make the type of money that would justify his investment and satisfy his ambition.” (但最近，将他的社交媒体平台命名为“X”可能是指马斯克的最新抱负，即打造一个像中国流行的微信一样的“万物应用”。万斯说：“他想创建一个类似于微信在中国的使用方式的应用程序，微信是中国日常生活的一部分。你用它来交流、消费新闻、购物、支付房租、预约医生，甚至支付罚款。”。“遵循微信模式对于马斯克对推特的期望是有意义的。如果公司要赚钱，证明他的投资是合理的，并满足他的雄心，那么它显然需要一个新的、更大的业务。”)”可知，Ashlee Vance 认为这个X可能代表Elon Musk的商业抱负。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But social media experts are questioning about Musk’s “everything app”. “I’m not sure he has enough trust from his user base to get people to actually exchange money or attach any type of financial institution to his app,” Jennifer Grygiel, a professor at Syracuse University, told NPR. “I think this is a way to destroy it, instead of recreating it as something else.” (但社交媒体专家对马斯克的“万物应用”提出了质疑。锡拉丘兹大学教授Jennifer Grygiel告诉美国国家公共电台：“我不确定他是否有足够的用户信任，让人们真正兑换货币或将任何类型的金融机构附加到他的应用程序中。”“我认为这是一种摧毁它的方式，而不是将其重新创造为其他东西。”)”可知，Jennifer Grygiel并不看好这个app的前景。故选B项。 C In Finland, it’s a basic duty for the government to provide the public with sporting possibilities. That thinking started in the 1970s, when the government built gyms in even the smallest towns. Now, there are about 30,000 sports facilities across the country. Walkways and bike paths snake through the cities. Public swimming pools are everywhere. Here you can just step out of your door and do sports. Finns do just that. Half of women and a third of men bike to work. About a fifth of the country belongs to sports clubs. Some people even play sports at work. For example, every Wednesday morning, a group of scientists at the University of Jyväskylä leave their desks to play “futsal”, an indoor form of soccer, in a gym across the street. It’s one of the most popular team sports in the country, along with floor ball and Finnish baseball. A nearby chocolate factory has a gym and offers aerobics classes. “Employers started to encourage sports participation about a century ago in the forestry industry,” says Hanna Vehmas, a sports scientist at the University of Jyväskylä. “Nowadays, 90% of employers support their employees’ physical activities in some way. Each year, they spend an average of about $220 per employee for physical activities.” One reason why employers tend to support their employees’ physical activities is due to a tax break. Businesses can deduct (扣除) money spent on employees’ physical well-being. “But there’s something else. We have a lot of research showing that spending money on employees’ well-being will bring back as much as six times the money spent,” says Vehmas. “Because healthy employees do better work. They also don’t have as many sick days. And staying fit, especially by playing sports together, could help build company loyalty (忠诚) which is actually even more important than the health side.” Physically active people also save the health care system a lot of money. Data from the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs & Health shows that people who bike and walk save the health care system as much as $5.5 billion each year. 8. Why are the scientists at the University of Jyväskylä mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To tell the popularity of a unique sport. B. To describe the process of an experiment. C. To show the easy access to sports facilities. D. To call for more public participation in sports. 9. When did the forestry industry start to encourage sports participation? A. About 50 years ago. B. About 60 years ago. C. About 80 years ago. D. About 100 years ago. 10. What does Hanna Vehmas say about the effort for employees’ physical well-being? A. It is a waste of money. B. It brings in various benefits. C. It takes too much time. D. It cuts workers’ productivity. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How Can Finns Make Sports Part of Everyday Life? B. Why Are There So Many Sports Facilities Across Finland? C. Why Has Finland Become the Healthiest Country in the World? D. How Can Employers in Finland Be Encouraged to Spend on Sports? 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在芬兰，政府和企业都积极支持体育活动，居民生活与体育紧密相连，这种生活方式为个人健康和国家医疗系统带来了诸多好处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Here you can just step out of your door and do sports. (在这里，你可以走出家门，做运动)”和第二段中“For example, every Wednesday morning, a group of scientists at the University of Jyväskylä leave their desks to play “futsal”, an indoor form of soccer, in a gym across the street. It’s one of the most popular team sports in the country, along with floor ball and Finnish baseball. A nearby chocolate factory has a gym and offers aerobics classes.(例如，每周三早上，Jyväskylä大学的一群科学家离开办公桌，在街对面的体育馆里玩“五人制足球”，这是一种室内足球。它是芬兰最受欢迎的团队运动之一，与地板球和芬兰棒球齐名。附近的一家巧克力工厂设有健身房，并提供有氧运动课程)”可知，作者举这个例子是为了展示体育设施的便捷可达性。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““Employers started to encourage sports participation about a century ago in the forestry industry,” says Hanna Vehmas, a sports scientist at the University of Jyväskylä. (“大约一个世纪前，雇主开始鼓励林业行业参与体育运动，”Jyväskylä大学的体育科学家Hanna Vehmas说)”可知，林业是大约100年前开始鼓励体育参与的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““But there’s something else. We have a lot of research showing that spending money on employees’ well-being will bring back as much as six times the money spent,” says Vehmas. “Because healthy employees do better work. They also don’t have as many sick days. And staying fit, especially by playing sports together, could help build company loyalty (忠诚) which is actually even more important than the health side.”(Vehmas说：“但还有其他事情。我们有很多研究表明，在员工福利上花钱会带来高达六倍的回报。”。“因为健康的员工工作得更好。他们也没有那么多的病假。保持健康，尤其是一起运动，可以帮助建立公司忠诚度，这实际上比健康方面更重要。”)”可知，Hanna Vehmas认为员工身体健康的努力带来各种好处：高达六倍的投资回报率、病假减少及更高的员工忠诚度。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段中“In Finland, it’s a basic duty for the government to provide the public with sporting possibilities. That thinking started in the 1970s, when the government built gyms in even the smallest towns. Now, there are about 30,000 sports facilities across the country. Walkways and bike paths snake through the cities. Public swimming pools are everywhere. (在芬兰，政府的基本职责是为公众提供体育活动的可能性。这种想法始于20世纪70年代，当时政府甚至在最小的城镇都修建了健身房。现在，全国大约有3万个体育设施。人行道和自行车道蜿蜒穿过城市。公共游泳池随处可见。)”可知，文章主要介绍了芬兰如何将体育融入日常生活之中，政府和企业的支持对体育设施的普及和居民积极参与起到了重要作用。A选项“芬兰人如何让体育成为日常生活的一部分？”符合主题，故选A项。 D “Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later, it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally. Then why did the woman refuse CPR? It is necessary for us to know what CPR can, and can’t, do. The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR. But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it. However, it cannot be further from truth. In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150, 000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90. The harm as it turns out, can be very serious. Broken bones are the most common problem, but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage. The biggest problem is brain injury. When the heart stops, the brain begins to die within minutes. So about 30% of survivors will have significant mental disability. The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn’t received it. 12. About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, __________. A. it started to be applied to humans B. it was popularized in some professions C it became a necessary qualification for babysitters D. it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins 13. Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on? A. The failed cases. B. Its real effects. C. Its important functions. D. The misunderstanding. 14. What did the 2010 study find about CPR? A. The public was unwilling to accept it. B. It had much better effects on the elderly. C. The average rate of survival remained low. D. It had to be carried out on time by professionals. 15. What is the most serious harm suffered by CPR survivors? A. Hurt backs. B. Broken bones. C. Injured lung. D. Damaged brain. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者试图纠正一些与心脏复苏术（CPR ）相关的错误认知。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR.(心肺复苏术可以挽救生命的发现最早是在1878年在猫身上进行的实验中发现的。直到1959年，约翰霍普金斯大学的研究人员才将这种方法应用于人类。研究人员写道：“现在任何人，任何地方都可以做心肺复苏术。”“只需要两只手。”在20世纪70年代，为空乘人员开设了心肺复苏术课程，教练和保姆现在经常被要求学习心肺复苏术)”可推断，大约在CPR被发现一百年后，有些行业开始普及这一急救手段。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it.(但大多数人是从电视上了解心肺复苏术的。2015年，研究人员发现，电视上心肺复苏后的存活率为70%。在现实生活中，人们同样认为心肺复苏术后的存活率超过75%。这也许可以解释每个人都应该知道心肺复苏术，每个经历心脏病发作的人都应该接受它的态度)”可知，第四段中作者主要是聚焦于公众对CPR的错误认知及其根源：电视不合实际的宣传。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150, 000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90.(2010年，一项涉及近15万患者的79项研究的综述发现，院外心脏病发作的平均存活率在30年里几乎没有变化。是7.6%。现场心肺复苏术可能会将这一几率提高到10%。住院心脏病患者接受心肺复苏术后的存活率略高，但仍只有17%左右。随着年龄的增长，这些数字会变得更糟。瑞典的一项研究发现，院外心肺复苏后的存活率从70多岁患者的6.7%下降到90岁以上患者的2.4%)”可知，2010年关于心肺复苏术的研究发现平均存活率仍然很低。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The biggest problem is brain injury.(最大的问题是脑损伤)”可知，CPR最严重的后遗症是脑损伤。故选D。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Best Friends The relationship between best friends is one of the most important ones we experience in our lives.

The wish list, written on a piece of old and torn paper, was placed in a small brown leather bag, along with his driver’s license, a ring, and various little things. Carney, 46, looked down at it and then said she needed to finish it. She was 25 when her father was hit by a driver who ran a red light while chatting on a cellphone. In the immediate aftermath of her father’s death, “I didn’t talk about it,” says Carney. “I really had some shame about it, because I thought it was an undignified (不体面的) way to die.” A few years later, she became an activist for safe driving, writing articles about the subject, fundraising, and giving talks and interviews. But the trauma (创伤) of her father’s death continued to exist. For Carney, the wish list was an unexpected opportunity to work through her pain and reconnect with her dad. The list was written in the year she was born. It had 60 tasks, six of which had already been checked off, leaving 54 items for Carney to complete. The tasks ranged from relatively simple undertakings to harder tasks. Several tasks were seemingly impossible, but Carney did not back down. While Carney completed many of the wish list tasks on her own, “It didn’t really feel like I was doing things alone, because I knew my dad was with me,” she says. “I feel like my relationship with him is very present.” Completing the wish list enabled Carney to get to know her dad in a way she hadn’t had the chance to — and never thought she would. His father spent his days working as a salesman and his spare time singing, writing and performing. “My dad was such a dreamer,” Carney says. “He knew what it meant to be alive; he knew how to have fun.” Finishing her father’s wish list was the most satisfying experience of her life, she says. 注意：1.续写词数应150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 So she decided to write her own wish list, which included specific and realistic goals. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I really encourage everybody to write down what they want to do,” she says. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 So she decided to write her own wish list, which included specific and realistic goals. Among them were tasks like visiting certain places, trying out new hobbies, and spending more quality time with her loved ones. As she checked off each item, she felt a deep sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. Her own wish list became a testament to her growth and toughness, showing how she had moved forward from the tragedy of her father’s death while still honoring his memory. It was a way for her to continue her father’s legacy of living life to the fullest. “I really encourage everybody to write down what they want to do,” she says. “It gives you a sense of direction and purpose. And when you look back at what you’ve achieved, it’s incredibly rewarding.This also makes you have a more positive attitude towards life. Plus, it’s a way to connect with your loved ones, even after they’re gone. You can carry on their dreams and aspirations through your own actions. That’s what I did with my dad’s wish list, and it changed my life forever.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Laura Carney在父亲去世后，决定完成他留下的未完成的愿望清单，并通过这一过程重新与父亲建立联系，感受父亲的生活态度和梦想。完成愿望清单后，她决定写下自己的愿望清单，继续父亲的生活态度，并鼓励他人也写下自己的愿望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“所以她决定写下自己的愿望清单，其中包括具体且现实的目标。”可知，第一段可描写Laura决定写下自己的愿望清单，并列出具体的目标。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘我真的鼓励每个人都写下他们想做的事情，’她说。”可知，第二段可描写Laura鼓励大家写下自己的愿望，并解释这样做的意义。 2.续写线索：决定写愿望清单——列出目标——实现目标——感悟——鼓励他人——解释意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①列出目标：include specific and realistic goals/list out achievable targets/set clear objectives ②实现目标：check off each item/accomplish tasks/achieve goals ③鼓励：encourage/urge/motivate 情绪类 ①满足：a deep sense of accomplishment/satisfaction ②积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1] As she checked off each item, she felt a deep sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

B Elon Musk has been talking about turning the social media platform Twitter into X for months, while being vague about what that exactly means. Does X represent a major business experiment? A totally new concept for on-line living? Or is it simply one man’s addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet? Probably it’s all of the above, according to Ashlee Vance, the author of Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. In one of his earliest business adventures, Musk called his online bank X. com. That name was later dropped when the platform was bought by a competitor and became PayPal. “Everyone tried to talk him out of naming the company that back then, but he really liked it and refused to give in,” said Vance. X is already in the name of Tesla’s third electric car model, which was announced to the public in 2015. His spaceflight company is called SpaceX. In 2020, Musk even named his youngest son “X E A-12”. But lately naming his social media platform “X” may refer to Musk’s newest ambition, building an “everything app” like China’s popular WeChat. “He wants to create an app similar to how WeChat is used in China, where it’s part of day-to-day life. You use it to communicate, to consume news, to buy things, to pay your rent, to make appointments with your doctor and even to pay fines,” said Vance. “Following the WeChat model makes sense with what Musk wants for Twitter. The company clearly needs a new, bigger business if it’s to make the type of money that would justify his investment and satisfy his ambition.” But social media experts are questioning about Musk’s “everything app”. “I’m not sure he has enough trust from his user base to get people to actually exchange money or attach any type of financial institution to his app,” Jennifer Grygiel, a professor at Syracuse University, told NPR. “I think this is a way to destroy it, instead of recreating it as something else.” 4.

C In Finland, it’s a basic duty for the government to provide the public with sporting possibilities. That thinking started in the 1970s, when the government built gyms in even the smallest towns. Now, there are about 30,000 sports facilities across the country. Walkways and bike paths snake through the cities. Public swimming pools are everywhere. Here you can just step out of your door and do sports. Finns do just that. Half of women and a third of men bike to work. About a fifth of the country belongs to sports clubs. Some people even play sports at work. For example, every Wednesday morning, a group of scientists at the University of Jyväskylä leave their desks to play “futsal”, an indoor form of soccer, in a gym across the street. It’s one of the most popular team sports in the country, along with floor ball and Finnish baseball. A nearby chocolate factory has a gym and offers aerobics classes. “Employers started to encourage sports participation about a century ago in the forestry industry,” says Hanna Vehmas, a sports scientist at the University of Jyväskylä. “Nowadays, 90% of employers support their employees’ physical activities in some way. Each year, they spend an average of about $220 per employee for physical activities.” One reason why employers tend to support their employees’ physical activities is due to a tax break. Businesses can deduct (扣除) money spent on employees’ physical well-being. “But there’s something else. We have a lot of research showing that spending money on employees’ well-being will bring back as much as six times the money spent,” says Vehmas. “Because healthy employees do better work. They also don’t have as many sick days. And staying fit, especially by playing sports together, could help build company loyalty (忠诚) which is actually even more important than the health side.” Physically active people also save the health care system a lot of money. Data from the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs & Health shows that people who bike and walk save the health care system as much as $5.5 billion each year. 8. Why are the scientists at the University of Jyväskylä mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To tell the popularity of a unique sport. B. To describe the process of an experiment. C. To show the easy access to sports facilities. D. To call for more public participation in sports. 9. When did the forestry industry start to encourage sports participation? A. About 50 years ago. B. About 60 years ago. C. About 80 years ago. D. About 100 years ago. 10 What does Hanna Vehmas say about the effort for employees’ physical well-being? A. It is a waste of money. B. It brings in various benefits. C. It takes too much time. D. It cuts workers’ productivity. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How Can Finns Make Sports Part of Everyday Life? B. Why Are There So Many Sports Facilities Across Finland? C. Why Has Finland Become the Healthiest Country in the World? D. How Can Employers in Finland Be Encouraged to Spend on Sports? D “Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later, it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally. Then why did the woman refuse CPR? It is necessary for us to know what CPR can and can’t, do. The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR. But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it. However, it cannot be further from truth. In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150, 000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90. The harm, as it turns out, can be very serious. Broken bones are the most common problem, but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage. The biggest problem is brain injury. When the heart stops, the brain begins to die within minutes. So about 30% of survivors will have significant mental disability. The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn’t received it. 12. About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, __________. A. it started to be applied to humans B. it was popularized in some professions C. it became a necessary qualification for babysitters D. it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins 13. Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on? A The failed cases. B. Its real effects. C. Its important functions. D. The misunderstanding. 14. What did the 2010 study find about CPR? A. The public was unwilling to accept it. B. It had much better effects on the elderly. C. The average rate of survival remained low. D. It had to be carried out on time by professionals. 15. What is the most serious harm suffered by CPR survivors? A. Hurt backs. B. Broken bones. C. Injured lung. D. Damaged brain. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Best Friends The relationship between best friends is one of the most important ones we experience in our lives.

The wish list, written on a piece of old and torn paper, was placed in a small brown leather bag, along with his driver’s license, a ring, and various little things. Carney, 46, looked down at it and then said she needed to finish it. She was 25 when her father was hit by a driver who ran a red light while chatting on a cellphone. In the immediate aftermath of her father’s death, “I didn’t talk about it,” says Carney. “I really had some shame about it, because I thought it was an undignified (不体面的) way to die.” A few years later, she became an activist for safe driving, writing articles about the subject, fundraising, and giving talks and interviews. But the trauma (创伤) of her father’s death continued to exist. For Carney, the wish list was an unexpected opportunity to work through her pain and reconnect with her dad. The list was written in the year she was born. It had 60 tasks, six of which had already been checked off, leaving 54 items for Carney to complete. The tasks ranged from relatively simple undertakings to harder tasks. Several tasks were seemingly impossible, but Carney did not back down. While Carney completed many of the wish list tasks on her own, “It didn’t really feel like I was doing things alone, because I knew my dad was with me,” she says. “I feel like my relationship with him is very present.” Completing the wish list enabled Carney to get to know her dad in a way she hadn’t had the chance to — and never thought she would. His father spent his days working as a salesman and his spare time singing, writing and performing. “My dad was such a dreamer,” Carney says. “He knew what it meant to be alive; he knew how to have fun.” Finishing her father’s wish list was the most satisfying experience of her life, she says. 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。 So she decided to write her own wish list, which included specific and realistic goals. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I really encourage everybody to write down what they want to do,” she says. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1～5 BBABC 6～10 CACBA 11～15 BACAB 16～20 CCABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
