Today I still remember my first marathon (马拉松). Just one month before it, one of my ankles (脚踝) was injured, which meant I can not run in the following two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do very well. He later told me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck in my mind for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized that running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of my wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but determined to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my husband waving a sign. He is my biggest fan. He never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal.
Determined to be myself and move forward, free of shame and (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
24. What happened to the author a month before the marathon?
A. Her ankle got injured. B. She still ran every day.
C. She missed her first marathon. D. Her training was cancelled completely.
25. What’s the purpose of mentioning her P.E. class in her 7th year?
A. To bring back her memory. B. To thank her teacher.
C. To show she was not good at athletics. D. To introduce her class.
26. What is the husband’s attitude toward the author’s running?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Opposing. D. Sympathetic.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. Every coin has two sides. B. A winner is one with strong wills.
C. Life is a journey, not the destination. D. Family members play an important role.
C
People thoughtlessly make other people into social media content. If you want to explain this problem, you only draw more attention to something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place.
On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people.
This is a predictable result of everybody having a camera with them at all times. Who hasn’t wished they had a camera to document the amazing “small person walking huge dog” moment they enjoyed? Curiosity happens, and surprise happens. But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why dont’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to.
Should we walk around with our head down, ignoring the world of amusing strangeness around us? Of course not. We’re far enough into the “practically everybody has a camera” age that we know how it goes, and how we just never know when our small post will become a big deal. To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face. You can also offer descriptions in different ways instead of showing photos.
Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone.
28. What is the predictable result of easy camera access?
A. People become more interested in others.
B. People are more likely to enjoy amusing events.
C. Amazing situations can be recorded without worry.
D. Posts of ordinary people can unexpectedly become hot.
29. Why might people not ask strangers for permission before taking photos?
A. They want natural shots. B. They are afraid of being refused.
C. They intend to surprise strangers. D. They’re unwilling to bother strangers.
30. What does the author suggest we do to protect privacy in online photos?
A. Cover faces with digital stickers. B. Ask for permission before posting.
C. Post photos with rich descriptions. D. Pay no attention to what happens around.
31. What attitude does the author probably hold to taking photos of people eating in public?
A. Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Disapproval.
D
Mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains are showing remarkable adaptability by adjusting their activity patterns, according to a new study.
The study, led by University of California Davis researcher Ellie Bolas, tracked 22 mountain lions in the region. The findings show that mountain lions living in areas with higher human presence are becoming more nocturnal(夜行性) to minimize interactions with humans. This is different from those living far away from people, who still hunt and play at sunrise and sunset like they used to. This behavioral adaptation allows these large wild animals to successfully coexist in one of the world’s largest urban(城市) areas.
The study identified interesting differences in activity patterns. Female mountain lions showed more activity during daylight hours to stay away from male lions that might threaten their babies. The most nocturnal behavior was observed in two male lions living in areas with high human activity and development.
These behavioral changes demonstrate the cats’ natural tendency to avoid human contact rather than become habituated to people. Seth Riley, branch chief for wildlife at Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, notes that these adaptations reflect subtle(微妙的) ways humans impact wildlife beyond direct threats like the vehicle hitting them. The research team recommends that humans also adapt their own behavior to support coexistence. They suggest people should be more careful while driving at night and be aware that dawn and dusk remain active periods for mountain lion movement.
“This flexibility we see in mountain lion activity is what allows us to share these natural areas together. Mountain lions are doing the work so that coexistence can happen,” explains Bolas. The study highlights the need for continued human effort in conservation. As Bolas notes, “Coexistence is happening, and it’s in large part because of what mountain lions are doing.”
32. Which best describes the activity patterns of mountain lions in remote locations?
A. Nocturnal. B. Traditional. C. Changeable. D. Controllable.
33. Why are female mountain lions more active during the daytime?
A. To hunt more effectively for babies. B. To enjoy competing with others.
C. To avoid encounters with male lions. D. To deal with urban development.
34. What do the researchers advise us to do for mountain lions?
A. Get to know their active periods. B. Try to drive in the daytime carefully.
C. Reduce human activity in urban areas. D. Relocate them to the undeveloped areas.
35. What is Bolas’ attitude to mountain lions’ being nocturnal?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Admiring.

Brianna Kemp’s father had to move her entire family from Chicago to a small town in Maryland after his business went bankrupt. He didn’t lose faith in life, though, and decided to start his family’s new life there.
Along with the move came a new school for Brianna, who was 14 years old. She had a difficult time accepting the move, as she was a popular cheerleader at her school in Chicago. She also had a good set of friends, and she didn’t exactly like meeting new people.
When it was time to go to school, her father drove her there to wish her well. “Good luck, sweetheart. I know this is going to be difficult for you, but you can do it. I know you can!” he said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
“Thanks, Dad,” Brianna said quietly before leaving the car. While she was sad, Brianna didn’t want her dad to worry even more, so she put on a brave smile and waved before her father drove away.
When she got to the school, she was greeted by the school secretary, Mrs. Keppler. “Hello, welcome to Chester Middle School! I’m going to give you a quick tour of the school,” she said.
“Thank you,” Brianna responded shyly and nervously.
Mrs. Keppler showed Brianna around, pointing her to the cafeteria, the school auditorium, and the gym. They also passed through the art and music rooms, the science laboratories, and the kitchen.
Finally Brianna was led to the classroom and started her suffering first school day. Faced up with so many new faces, she made a brief self-introduction, still nervous. Then she was guided to sit in the back row alone. During the breaks, all the students seemed so familiar with each other. Brianna found it hard to start a conversation with any one of them, as they were always busy with their own friends. She felt like she was an outsider and didn’t belong. What a suffering the first school day was! So were the following weeks.
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。
When the day was finally over, Brianna shared her day with her father.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next few weeks, things changed beyond Brianna’s imagination.

Today I still remember my first marathon (马拉松). Just one month before it, one of my ankles (脚踝) was injured, which meant I can not run in the following two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do very well. He later told me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck in my mind for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized that running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of my wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but determined to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my husband waving a sign. He is my biggest fan. He never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal.
Determined to be myself and move forward, free of shame and (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
24. What happened to the author a month before the marathon?
A. Her ankle got injured. B. She still ran every day.
C. She missed her first marathon. D. Her training was cancelled completely.
25. What’s the purpose of mentioning her P.E. class in her 7th year?
A. To bring back her memory. B. To thank her teacher.
C. To show she was not good at athletics. D. To introduce her class.
26. What is the husband’s attitude toward the author’s running?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Opposing. D. Sympathetic.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. Every coin has two sides. B. A winner is one with strong wills.
C. Life is a journey, not the destination. D. Family members play an important role.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆了自己小时候由于听到老师对自己的评价从而认定自己不擅长运动,后来作者开始尝试跑步,并意识到运动其实是与自己的意志作斗争。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Today I still remember my first marathon (马拉松). Just one month before it, one of my ankles (脚踝) was injured, which meant I can not run in the following two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train.(今天我仍然记得我的第一次马拉松。就在一个月前,我的一个脚踝受伤了,这意味着我在接下来的两周内不能跑步,我只有两周的时间训练。)”可知,在作者参加马拉松前一个月,作者的脚踝受伤了。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do very well. (我记得我在学校七年级的时候。在我的第一节体育课上,老师要求我们先跑几圈,然后再打垒球。我表现得不太好。)”可知,作者提到自己七年级的体育课是为了告诉读者自己不太擅长运动。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“As I approached mile 23, I could see my husband waving a sign. He is my biggest fan. He never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m. or questioned my expenses on running.(当我快到23英里时,我看到我丈夫在挥舞着一个标志牌。他是我最忠实的粉丝。他从不介意凌晨四点的闹钟响,也从不质疑我跑步的费用。)”可知,作者的丈夫对作者跑步非常支持。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“ I didn’t do very well. He later told me that I was“ not athletic”. (我表现不太好。他后来告诉我,我“不擅长运动”。)”以及第三段“The idea that I was“ not athletic” stuck in my mind for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized that running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of my wills! (我“不擅长运动”的想法在我脑海中挥之不去多年。当我30多岁开始跑步时,我意识到跑步是一场与自己的战斗,而不是竞争,也不是我是否擅长运动。这一切都是关于我与自己的身体和思想的斗争。考验我的意志!)”可知,作者一开始由于老师对自己的评价一直根深蒂固地认为自己不擅长运动,而后来作者开始跑步,才明白,其实运动只是考验一个人的意志。根据文章最后一段“Determined to be myself and move forward, free of shame and (世俗标签), I can now call myself a“ marathon winner”.(我决心做我自己,勇往直前,不在乎世俗标签,现在我可以称自己为“马拉松赢家”。)”可知,作者认为胜者指的是意志坚强的人。故选B。
C
People thoughtlessly make other people into social media content. If you want to explain this problem you only draw more attention to something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place.
On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people.
This is a predictable result of everybody having a camera with them at all times. Who hasn’t wished they had a camera to document the amazing “small person walking huge dog” moment they enjoyed? Curiosity happens, and surprise happens. But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why dont’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to.
Should we walk around with our head down, ignoring the world of amusing strangeness around us? Of course not. We’re far enough into the “practically everybody has a camera” age that we know how it goes, and how we just never know when our small post will become a big deal. To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face. You can also offer descriptions in different ways instead of showing photos.
Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone.
28. What is the predictable result of easy camera access?
A. People become more interested in others.
B. People are more likely to enjoy amusing events.
C. Amazing situations can be recorded without worry.
D. Posts of ordinary people can unexpectedly become hot.
29. Why might people not ask strangers for permission before taking photos?
A. They want natural shots. B. They are afraid of being refused.
C. They intend to surprise strangers. D. They’re unwilling to bother strangers.
30. What does the author suggest we do to protect privacy in online photos?
A. Cover faces with digital stickers. B. Ask for permission before posting.
C. Post photos with rich descriptions. D. Pay no attention to what happens around.
31. What attitude does the author probably hold to taking photos of people eating in public?
A. Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Favorable. D. Disapproval.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们会轻率地把别人变成社交媒体的内容这一现象。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“On a regular basis, a photo or a video will be posted on some social media in which a totally ordinary person doing a totally ordinary thing is removed from all context. And if you look at the numbers on the post, you’ll find that the post has been viewed by a million people.(在一些社交媒体上,经常会发布一张照片或一段视频,其中一个完全普通的人在做一件完全普通的事情。如果你看一下帖子上的数字,你会发现这篇帖子已经被100万人浏览了)”可知,摄像头容易进入的可预见结果是普通人的帖子会出人意料地火起来。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But if you are purely using someone as a curiosity, why don’t you say, “Can I take your picture?” Deep down you know the person might not want you to.(但如果你纯粹是出于好奇而利用某人,你为什么不说:“我能给你拍张照吗?”在内心深处,你知道这个人可能不希望你这么做)”可知,人们在拍照前不征求陌生人的同意是因为害怕被拒绝。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To preserve privacy, you can put digital stickers over somebody’s face.(为了保护隐私,你可以把数字贴纸贴在某人的脸上)”可知,作者建议我们用数码贴纸遮住脸保护网上照片的隐私。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Bear in mind: Standing there with your phone out taking a picture of people who are innocently eating lunch might seem strange to some people, And one of them might also have a phone.(记住:站在那里拿着你的手机给那些无辜吃午饭的人拍照,对一些人来说可能会很奇怪,而且其中一个可能也有手机)”可知,作者对拍摄人们在公共场合吃饭的照片持反对态度。故选D。
D
Mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains are showing remarkable adaptability by adjusting their activity patterns, according to a new study.
The study, led by University of California Davis researcher Ellie Bolas, tracked 22 mountain lions in the region. The findings show that mountain lions living in areas with higher human presence are becoming more nocturnal(夜行性) to minimize interactions with humans. This is different from those living far away from people, who still hunt and play at sunrise and sunset like they used to. This behavioral adaptation allows these large wild animals to successfully coexist in one of the world’s largest urban(城市) areas.
The study identified interesting differences in activity patterns. Female mountain lions showed more activity during daylight hours to stay away from male lions that might threaten their babies. The most nocturnal behavior was observed in two male lions living in areas with high human activity and development.
These behavioral changes demonstrate the cats’ natural tendency to avoid human contact rather than become habituated to people. Seth Riley, branch chief for wildlife at Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, notes that these adaptations reflect subtle(微妙的) ways humans impact wildlife beyond direct threats like the vehicle hitting them. The research team recommends that humans also adapt their own behavior to support coexistence. They suggest people should be more careful while driving at night and be aware that dawn and dusk remain active periods for mountain lion movement.
“This flexibility we see in mountain lion activity is what allows us to share these natural areas together. Mountain lions are doing the work so that coexistence can happen,” explains Bolas. The study highlights the need for continued human effort in conservation. As Bolas notes, “Coexistence is happening, and it’s in large part because of what mountain lions are doing.”
32. Which best describes the activity patterns of mountain lions in remote locations?
A. Nocturnal. B. Traditional. C. Changeable. D. Controllable.
33. Why are female mountain lions more active during the daytime?
A. To hunt more effectively for babies. B. To enjoy competing with others.
C. To avoid encounters with male lions. D. To deal with urban development.
34. What do the researchers advise us to do for mountain lions?
A. Get to know their active periods. B. Try to drive in the daytime carefully.
C. Reduce human activity in urban areas. D. Relocate them to the undeveloped areas.
35. What is Bolas’ attitude to mountain lions’ being nocturnal?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Admiring.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一项新研究发现,圣莫尼卡山脉的美洲狮通过调整活动模式来适应环境,尤其是那些生活在人类活动频繁区域的美洲狮变得更加夜行性,以减少与人类的接触,同时研究还指出了雌性美洲狮和雄性美洲狮活动模式的差异,并强调了人类应采取措施与美洲狮共存。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“This is different from those living far away from people, who still hunt and play at sunrise and sunset like they used to.(这与那些远离人类的(美洲狮)不同,它们仍然像过去一样在日出和日落时狩猎和玩耍)”可知,偏远地区的美洲狮活动模式是传统的,故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Female mountain lions showed more activity during daylight hours to stay away from male lions that might threaten their babies.(雌性美洲狮在白天更加活跃,以避开可能威胁其幼崽的雄性美洲狮)”可知,雌性美洲狮在白天更活跃是为了避免与雄性美洲狮相遇,故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They suggest people should be more careful while driving at night and be aware that dawn and dusk remain active periods for mountain lion movement.(他们建议人们在夜间开车时应该更加小心,并意识到黎明和黄昏仍然是美洲狮活动的活跃时期)”可知,研究人员建议我们了解美洲狮的活跃期,故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This flexibility we see in mountain lion activity is what allows us to share these natural areas together. Mountain lions are doing the work so that coexistence can happen(我们看到的美洲狮活动的这种灵活性,使得我们能够共同分享这些自然区域。美洲狮正在努力做到这一点,从而实现人类与它们的共存)”可知,美洲狮活动的灵活性,使得我们能够共同分享这些自然区域,可推理出Bolas对美洲狮的夜行性持钦佩态度,故选D项。

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。
It can be tough to find the motivation to do an outdoor workout once winter strikes with low temperatures, wind chill, rain and dark nights. However, don’t let the cold weather prevent you from accomplishing your fitness goals. ___36___.
Dress for the weather.
___37___. Wind chills can easily go through thinner items of clothes. If your clothes are wet on a rainy day, you’ll have no protection from the icy temperature. So it is crucial to wear a windproof or water-resistant outer layer.
Protect your head and hands.
While only about 10 percent of your body heat escapes from your head, as opposed to 70 percent as previously believed, wearing a hat in cold weather is still important. ___38___. Choose a pair with touchscreen fingers to avoid frequently taking them off and on.
Stay hydrated (含水的).
You may feel like you sweat less in cold weather, but don’t be fooled. You still need to drink up. ___39___. Stay hydrated by drinking room temperature water before, during and after your workout.
___40___.
“Imagine a rubber band... it’s flexible, bendy (易弯曲的) and pulls right back to its shape. Now imagine that same rubber band, but frozen. If you try to pull too hard before it’s unfrozen, it’ll break suddenly,” explains trainer Ashley Wilking. Your muscles are like rubber bands, you need to gradually wake them up to prevent injury. Start to heat up your large muscles with light stretching, jumping jacks and lunges indoors before heading outside.
A. Do active warm-ups
B. Exercise like a bendy rubber band
C. Follow our expert tips to stay fit, warm and motivated this winter
D Your workout wear should be soft and flexible for you to stretch and exercise

【答案】36. C 37. E 38. F 39. G 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了多个冬季户外锻炼的实用建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“It can be tough to find the motivation to do an outdoor workout once winter strikes with low temperatures, wind chill, rain and dark nights. However, don’t let the cold weather prevent you from accomplishing your fitness goals.(一旦冬天来了,低温、风寒、下雨、黑夜,就很难找到进行户外锻炼的动力。然而,不要让寒冷的天气阻碍你完成健身目标)”可知,空前提到不要让冬季的寒冷天气阻止你完成运动目标。空处应是承上启下的句子,根据后面四个标题所表达的要点可知,本句主要提出冬日保持温暖的建议。故C选项“遵循我们的专家建议,在这个冬天保持健康、温暖和积极”符合语境,故选C。
【37题详解】
根据“Dress for the weather (根据天气穿衣服)”这一段的描述,尤其是下文“So it is crucial to wear a windproof or water-resistant outer layer.(因此,穿上防风或防水的外层是至关重要的)”可知,作者建议户外运动要穿防风和防水的外套,作为本段的段首句,应提出冬季户外运动寒风和雨水是需要考虑的主要因素,故E选项“风寒和雨水是冬季户外锻炼的关键因素”符合语境,故选E。
【38题详解】
根据本段小标题“Protect your head and hands.(保护好你的头和手)”提到要保护头和手,前一句“While only about 10 percent of your body heat escapes from your head, as opposed to 70 percent as previously believed, wearing a hat in cold weather is still important.(虽然只有大约10%的身体热量从头部逸出,而不是之前认为的70%,但在寒冷的天气戴上帽子仍然很重要)”提到戴帽子仍然是重要的,后一句“Choose a pair with touchscreen fingers to avoid frequently taking them off and on(选一双可以触屏的手套来避免频繁穿脱)”,此处“a pair”与F选项中“gloves”构成指代关系,故F选项“你的手是另一个容易感到寒冷的身体部位,所以手套是必须的”符合语境,故选F。
【39题详解】
根据本段小标题“Stay hydrated. (保持水分摄入)”可知,本段主要谈论注意补水,上文“You still need to drink up.(你仍然需要多喝水)”说到你需要多喝水,下文“Stay hydrated by drinking room temperature water before, during and after your workout.(在运动前、运动中、运动后都要喝常温的水)”说到在运动前、运动中、运动后都需要喝水,故G选项“失去太多水分会增加你受伤的风险,也会降低你的表现”说明注意补水的原因,符合语境,故选G。
【40题详解】
根据本段内容““Imagine a rubber band... it’s flexible, bendy (易弯曲的) and pulls right back to its shape. Now imagine that same rubber band, but frozen. If you try to pull too hard before it’s unfrozen, it’ll break suddenly,” explains trainer Ashley Wilking. Your muscles are like rubber bands, you need to gradually wake them up to prevent injury. Start to heat up your large muscles with light stretching, jumping jacks and lunges indoors before heading outside.(“想象一根橡皮筋……它是柔韧的,可弯曲的,可以拉回原来的形状。现在想象一下同样的橡皮筋,但是是冰冻的。如果你在它解冻之前用力拉,它会突然断裂,”教练阿什利·威尔金解释说。你的肌肉就像橡皮筋,你需要逐渐唤醒它们,以防止受伤。出门之前,先在室内做一些轻微的伸展运动、开合跳和箭步跳来热身你的大肌肉)”可知,本段内容将肌肉比作橡皮筋,运动前需要通过一些伸展、跳跃等轻微的运动逐步唤醒肌肉避免伤害,故A选项“做一些积极的热身运动”符合语境,故选A。

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。
Brianna Kemp’s father had to move her entire family from Chicago to a small town in Maryland after his business went bankrupt. He didn’t lose faith in life, though, and decided to start his family’s new life there.
Along with the move came a new school for Brianna, who was 14 years old. She had a difficult time accepting the move, as she was a popular cheerleader at her school in Chicago. She also had a good set of friends, and she didn’t exactly like meeting new people.
When it was time to go to school, her father drove her there to wish her well. “Good luck, sweetheart. I know this is going to be difficult for you, but you can do it. I know you can!” he said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
“Thanks, Dad,” Brianna said quietly before leaving the car. While she was sad, Brianna didn’t want her dad to worry even more, so she put on a brave smile and waved before her father drove away.
When she got to the school, she was greeted by the school secretary, Mrs. Keppler. “Hello, welcome to Chester Middle School! I’m going to give you a quick tour of the school,” she said.
“Thank you,” Brianna responded shyly and nervously.
Mrs. Keppler showed Brianna around, pointing her to the cafeteria, the school auditorium, and the gym. They also passed through the art and music rooms, the science laboratories, and the kitchen.
Finally, Brianna was led to the classroom and started her suffering first school day. Faced up with so many new faces, she made a brief self-introduction, still nervous. Then she was guided to sit in the back row alone. During the breaks, all the students seemed so familiar with each other. Brianna found it hard to start a conversation with any one of them, as they were always busy with their own friends. She felt like she was an outsider and didn’t belong. What a suffering the first school day was! So were the following weeks.
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。
When the day was finally over, Brianna shared her day with her father.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When the day was finally over, Brianna shared her day with her father. Hearing what Brianna said, her father smiled, “New life means not only new challenges but also opportunities. It all depends on you. ” Inspired by what her father said, Brianna was determined to adjust herself to fit in here. She knew that it wasn’t easy, and she needed to make an effort. During the breaks, she encouraged herself to reach out to some of those who were talkative, actively involved in their conversations. To her surprise, most of them were easy to get along with.
Over the next few weeks, things changed beyond Brianna’s imagination. Brianna got to know more classmates and even befriended them. They started spending time together outside of school. They chatted about their interests and had fun together after school, and supported each other during tough times. Thanks to her courage, Brianna was finally able to break into her class’s social circle at the new school. She was delighted that she took the initiative to reach out first, which made her high school experiences much more enjoyable.
