Four Best National Parks in Canada
Waterton Lakes National Park
Waterton Lakes National Park is located in the south end of the province and features the beautiful grasslands, lakes, and of course, the Rocky Mountains. As the park’s name suggests, there are plenty of lakes to enjoyed. If you’ re feeling brave, you can jump in for a swim— but the water is a little cold, even in summer. However, there’s no better way to cool down quickly after a tiring hike.
Cape Breton Highlands National Park
Surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Highlands National Park features some of the most beautiful landscapes you’ll find in the entire country. The world-famous Cabot Trail winds through the park, so you can experience the rolling views without ever leaving your car.
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve
Near the town of Tofino, on the west coast of Vancouver Island lies Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, stretching along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. If you want to be awed (敬畏)by Mother Nature, this is a national park you won’t want to miss.
Endless amazing beaches are parts of the main highlights of Tofino. They’ re not only beautiful to see and perfect for long walks, but also serve as playgrounds for surfers on a year-round basis.
Gros Morne National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gros Morne National Park features 1,805 square kilometers of incredible scenery on the west coast of Newfoundland. One of the most recognizable views from the park is the Western Brook Pond Fjord, which you can get to either by hiking a multi-day trek (跋涉) or by catching a boat ride and taking a shorter three-to four-hour hike.

Expert runners around the world consider a little under two hours to be a good half marathon time, but this number mostly has young, able-bodied competitors in mind. That’s why when 75-year-old Queruben Abella finished a 21-kilometer race in one hour and 56 minutes, people around his native Philippines and the world were simply in awe. Most amazingly, he did it in a pair of broken shoes.
Abella, who ran his first marathon at 14 and has continued to enjoy this practice for decades, is well versed in the running world. That’s why, although his shoes were bursting open at the sides, he preferred them over other pairs. To him, they were light and comfortable, and water didn’t get stuck inside when it rained. On top of that, they’ve taken him to many places.
The elderly runner’s impressive achievement happened at the 3rd Alturas Pink Run, on October 5. The race was organized to raise funds around Breast Cancer Awareness month — particularly, for 30patients currently undergoing chemotherapy (化疗). “It is amazing to see everyone so happy and passionate to join Pink Run,” he said. “It is such a worthy cause. And I would love to continue supporting it in the future.”
Mary Grace Ido Bernaldez, who is in charge of the Alturas Pink Run, said that Abella had been joining the marathon since 2022. “At 75, he is not just a runner; he is an inspiration to all of us. Abella’s determination teaches us that there are no limits to what we can do.”
Days after the race, the organizer visited Abella in his village, presenting him with a new pair of shoes — the third pair he had been gifted after the race, which he happily posed with for a Facebook picture. Since he hopes to be back next year, he may be proudly wearing a new pair in 2025.
4. What does the underlined word “versed” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Skilled. B. Interested. C. Weak. D. Strict.
5. What can we infer about Abella’s shoes from the text?
A. They were brand new and very expensive.
B. They were fashionable but uncomfortable.
C. They were worn out but comfortable for him.
D. They were specially designed for marathon running.
6. What is the purpose of the 3rd Alturas Pink Run?
A. To promote tourism in the Philippines.
B. To collect money for breast cancer patients.
C. To celebrate the birthday of Queruben Abella.
D. To honor the achievements of elderly athletes.
7. What is Mary Grace Ido Bernaldez’s attitude towards Abella?
A. Admirable. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Curious.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了75岁的Queruben Abella在菲律宾的一场半程马拉松比赛中以出色的成绩完成比赛,并因其年龄和穿着破旧的鞋子而备受瞩目。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Abella, who ran his first marathon at 14 and has continued to enjoy this practice for decades (Abella在14岁时第一次跑马拉松,几十年来一直很享受这种练习)”可知,Abella跑步跑了几十年,所以他非常精通跑步界,推知versed应是“熟练的”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“That’s why, although his shoes were bursting open at the sides, he preferred them over other pairs. To him, they were light and comfortable, and water didn’t get stuck inside when it rained. On top of that, they’ve taken him to many places.(这就是为什么,尽管他的鞋子两边都裂开了,他还是更喜欢这双鞋。对他来说,它们又轻又舒服,下雨时水也不会卡在里面。最重要的是,他们带他去过很多地方)”可知,Abella的鞋子虽然破旧,但对他来说很舒服。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The elderly runner’s impressive achievement happened at the 3rd Alturas Pink Run, on October 5. The race was organized to raise funds around Breast Cancer Awareness month — particularly, for 30patients currently undergoing chemotherapy (化疗).(这位年长的跑步者令人赞叹的成就于10月5日在第三届阿尔图拉斯粉红跑中达成。这场比赛是为了在乳腺癌防治宣传月期间筹集资金而举办的,尤其是为30名目前正在接受化疗的患者)”可知,第三届阿尔图拉斯粉红跑的目的是为乳腺癌患者筹集资金。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Mary Grace Ido Bernaldez, who is in charge of the Alturas Pink Run, said that Abella had been joining the marathon since 2022. “At 75, he is not just a runner; he is an inspiration to all of us. Abella’s determination teaches us that there are no limits to what we can do.”(负责阿尔图拉斯粉红跑的Mary Grace Ido Bernaldez说,Abella从2022年起就一直参加马拉松比赛。“75岁的他,不仅仅是一名跑步者;他对我们所有人来说都是一种鼓舞。Abella的决心告诉我们,我们所能做的事情没有极限。”)”可知,Mary Grace Ido Bernaldez认为Abella鼓舞了所有人,所以是令人钦佩的。故选A项。
C
Many woodland creatures enjoy eating acorns (橡子), but nothing is quite like the acorn woodpecker (啄木鸟). This medium-sized woodpecker is found across Central America and the western United States. They use their impressive pecking ability to create an incredible storage system for their precious acorns.
Acorn woodpeckers create storage trees out of dead branches, trees, houses, or even poles. Used year after year, the birds store their winter food supply in the perfectly formed holes they peck in the dead wood. Given that these impressive food stores can have upwards of 50,000holes, they aren’t just the work of a single acorn woodpecker. The species lives in family groups of up to 12 birds that share nests and even raise chicks together. They also work as a team to build the storage trees, which future generations will use to keep themselves fed throughout the year.
While there might be concerns that other animals could find these storage trees and take the acorns for themselves, the woodpeckers ensure that won’t happen. They manage to pack the acorns in so tightly that anyone looking for a free snack would have a hard time removing them from the holes.
As the acorns dry out, they become smaller in size, making them easier for the acorn woodpeckers to remove once it’s feeding time. To ensure that nothing is too loose before they’re ready to eat, a member of the group checks all the acorns from time to time and moves any shrunken (皱缩的) acorns to a smaller hole. These complex social behaviors have long attracted scientists, and are widely studied.
Though acorn woodpeckers are closely associated with acorns, it’s actually not their primary food source throughout the year. They prefer insects and fruits, relying on their backup food source of acorns to get them through the winter.
8. What’s the main characteristic of acorn woodpeckers according to Paragraph 1?
A. Their love for acorns. B. Their ability to peck.
C. Their natural habitat. D. Their medium size.
9. What can we know about acorn woodpeckers?
A. They live in family groups and work together.
B. They store food in holes of living trees.
C Their year-round main food source is the acron.
D. They exist across the United States.
10. Why do acorn woodpeckers pack the acorns tightly in the holes?
A. To help the acorns dry out faster.
B. To let acorns easier to remove later.
C. To make the storage trees look neat.
D. To prevent other animals taking the acorns.
11. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Diet of Acorn Woodpeckers
B. The Social Life of Acorn Woodpeckers
C. The Acorn Woodpecker’s Family Structure
D. The Acorn Woodpecker’s Amazing Acorn Storage
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了橡子啄木鸟的生活习性、储存食物的方式、社会行为以及它们与橡子的关系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This medium-sized woodpecker is found across Central America and the western United States. They use their impressive pecking ability to create an incredible storage system for their precious acorns.(这种中等大小的啄木鸟遍布中美洲和美国西部。它们用它们令人印象深刻的啄食能力为它们珍贵的橡子创造了一个令人难以置信的储存系统)”可知,橡子啄木鸟的主要特征是它们令人印象深刻的啄食能力。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The species lives in family groups of up to 12 birds that share nests and even raise chicks together. They also work as a team to build the storage trees, which future generations will use to keep themselves fed throughout the year.(该物种生活在多达12只鸟的家庭群体中,它们共享巢穴,甚至一起抚养小鸡。他们还组成一个团队来建造储存树,后代将用这些树来保证自己全年的食物供应)”可知,橡子啄木鸟以家庭为单位生活,一起工作。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While there might be concerns that other animals could find these storage trees and take the acorns for themselves, the woodpeckers ensure that won’t happen. They manage to pack the acorns in so tightly that anyone looking for a free snack would have a hard time removing them from the holes.(虽然人们可能会担心其他动物会发现这些储存树并将橡子占为己有,但啄木鸟确保不会发生这种情况。他们设法把橡子塞得很紧,以至于任何想要免费零食的人都很难把橡子从洞里拿出来)”可知,橡子啄木鸟把橡子紧紧地塞在洞里是为了防止其他动物拿走橡子。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many woodland creatures enjoy eating acorns (橡子), but nothing is quite like the acorn woodpecker (啄木鸟). This medium-sized woodpecker is found across Central America and the western United States. They use their impressive pecking ability to create an incredible storage system for their precious acorns.(许多森林生物都喜欢吃橡子,但没有什么比得上橡子啄木鸟。这种中等大小的啄木鸟遍布中美洲和美国西部。它们用它们令人印象深刻的啄食能力为它们珍贵的橡子创造了一个令人难以置信的储存系统)”以及纵观全文可知,全文围绕橡子啄木鸟独特的橡子存储系统展开,包括协作建造存储树、防盗措施及社会行为,所以D项“橡子啄木鸟惊人的橡子储存”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。
D
I think almost everyone has seen it, especially at Christmas or perhaps at a birthday party. A child gets an amazing number of presents and begins to open them. It becomes a race, tearing the wrapping off of each present and finally getting to the last one. Not spending significant time or attention with any specific toy, the child asks, “Is this all there is?”
This raises an interesting question: Does the number of toys affect the amount of time a young child spends playing with each toy and the quality of play with each toy?
To test the theory that an environment with fewer toys would lead to a higher quality of play, Dauch and his colleagues designed a clever laboratory study. The researchers chose 36 kids aged from 18 to 30 months and their parents. The participants came from similar socioeconomic backgrounds and had typical development of personal-social, motor, and cognitive (认知的) skills.
Thirty-two different toys were used in this study. The toys came from four categories of toys: (1) educational, (2) pretend (toys that suggest themed play), (3) action (building, opening, twisting), and (4) vehicles. Data collection took place in two similar playrooms.
There were two conditions for toy play: a four-toy and a 16-toy condition. Toys were randomly selected from the four categories of toys and assigned to the four or 16 toy conditions. Each kid and caregiver attended three one-hour sessions in which observers collected data. They recorded three types of data.
They found a significant difference in the quality of the kids’ play when there were four versus 16 toys. Kids in the four-toy condition engaged in a greater quality of play compared to the 16-toy condition. They found that having fewer toys can lead to better play, while a greater number of toys (16 compared to four) seemed to be a distraction (干扰), which caused the kids to abandon play with a toy to explore the others.
Control over attention is a key skill children need to master. Too many toys create distractions. Kids played twice as long with toys in the four versus the 16-toy condition and more imaginative ways.
12. Why did Dauch and his colleagues conduct the study?
A. To assess the cognitive skills of kids.
B. To understand how kids choose toys.
C. To study how many toys affect play quality.
D. To compare different categories of toys.
13. How did the researchers ensure the participants were alike?
A. They selected kids who are boys.
B. They selected kids of the same age.
C. They selected kids who hadn’t played with toys before.
D. They selected kids with similar backgrounds and development.
14. What conclusion did Dauch and his colleagues draw from their study?
A. Educational toys benefit kids most. B. Fewer toys improve the quality of play.
C. More toys always lead to better play. D. Fewer toys result in abandoning play.
15. Where might the text be taken from?
A. A travel magazine. B. A toy company’s website.
C. A child psychology book. D. A news article about education.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章描述了一项关于玩具数量对儿童玩耍质量和时间影响的研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This raises an interesting question: Does the number of toys affect the amount of time a young child spends playing with each toy and the quality of play with each toy?(这就提出了一个有趣的问题:玩具的数量是否会影响孩子玩每种玩具的时间和质量?)”以及第三段“To test the theory that an environment with fewer toys would lead to a higher quality of play, Dauch and his colleagues designed a clever laboratory study.(为了验证玩具较少的环境会导致更高质量的游戏这一理论,Dauch和他的同事设计了一个聪明的实验室研究)”可知,Dauch和他的同事进行研究是为了研究有多少玩具会影响游戏质量。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers chose 36 kids aged from 18 to 30 months and their parents. The participants came from similar socioeconomic backgrounds and had typical development of personal-social, motor, and cognitive (认知的) skills.(研究人员选择了36名年龄在18到30个月之间的孩子和他们的父母。参与者来自相似的社会经济背景,具有典型的个人社交、运动和认知技能发展)”可知,研究人员选择了背景和发展相似的孩子来确保参与者是相似的。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They found a significant difference in the quality of the kids’ play when there were four versus 16 toys. Kids in the four-toy condition engaged in a greater quality of play compared to the 16-toy condition. They found that having fewer toys can lead to better play, while a greater number of toys (16 compared to four) seemed to be a distraction (干扰), which caused the kids to abandon play with a toy to explore the others.(他们发现,当有4个玩具和16个玩具时,孩子们的游戏质量有显著差异。4个玩具组的孩子比16个玩具组的孩子玩得更开心。他们发现,玩具少可以让孩子们玩得更好,而玩具多(16比4)似乎会分散注意力,导致孩子们放弃玩一个玩具而去探索其他玩具)”可知,Dauch和他的同事从他们的研究中发现玩具少可以让孩子们玩得更好,也就是玩具越少,游戏质量越好。故选B项。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据根据第二段“This raises an interesting question: Does the number of toys affect the amount of time a young child spends playing with each toy and the quality of play with each toy?(这就提出了一个有趣的问题:玩具的数量是否会影响孩子玩每种玩具的时间和质量?)”以及第三段“To test the theory that an environment with fewer toys would lead to a higher quality of play, Dauch and his colleagues designed a clever laboratory study.(为了验证玩具较少的环境会导致更高质量的游戏这一理论,Dauch和他的同事设计了一个聪明的实验室研究)”以及纵观全文可知,本文是一项关于玩具数量对儿童玩耍质量和时间影响的研究,所以应是来自一本儿童心理学的书。故选C项。
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。
Following the announcement that a trendy bookstore in Xi’an is shutting down, the question about the sustainability (持续性) of physical bookstores has once again started a heated discussion. Physical bookstores need to find new ways to adapt in the face of e-commerce, and it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service. ____16____
E-commerce’s rise has led physical bookstores to reinvent themselves. They are becoming cultural and commercial centers. ____17____ Brands like SiSYPHE, Fang Suo Commune, and Yanjiyou bookstores have become popular, thanks to their beautiful designs and diverse offerings such as cultural and creative products.
But Zhang Yi, former vice president of a publishing house, said that the difficulty these trendy bookstores face lies not in the new business models, but in what a bookstore should represent.
Indeed, bookstores don’t have to stick to the traditional model of just selling books.____18____ In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a literary culture.
A bookstore should be a heaven (天堂) for book lovers, matching with China’s longstanding tradition of “making friends through books”. This practice, rooted in ancient Chinese history, emphasizes real connections over short-lived social media trends.
____19____ A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books.
It’s worth noting that it is not enough for physical bookstores to rely on short-lived trends and creative products. ____20____ This approach helps them create a unique identity and ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace.
A. Physical bookstores still face a series of problems.
B. This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses.
C. Bookstores that are still standing must develop and use their strengths.
D. Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them.
E. Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection.
F. Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment.
G. That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了实体书店的现状,以及实体书店未来发展的关键。
【16题详解】
根据上文“it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service.(实体书店需要找到新的方法来适应面对电子商务,维持文化空间来提升顾客服务是至关重要的)”可知,实体书店应该寻求创新,而创新是实体书店持续发展的关键,所以B项“This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses.(这是把时尚书店变成持续生意的关键)”符合文意。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“They are becoming cultural and commercial centers.(它们正在成为文化和商业中心)”可知,书店的用途更加多样化,所以G项“That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos.(这意味着他们不仅提供书籍,还提供咖啡和社交媒体照片的空间)”是对前文的进一步说明,符合文意。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据下文“In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a literary culture.(这样做,他们可能会失去对推广书籍和培养文学文化这一核心使命的专注)”可知,书店的过度商业化,导致他们失去了对核心使命的专注,所以F项“Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment.(一些时尚书店已经走得太远进入商业娱乐领域)”引出下文,符合文意,故选F。
【19题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据下文“A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books.(一位书商指出,虽然这些书店投入巨资创造视觉吸引人的空间,但他们在提供深思熟虑、多样化的图书方面往往欠缺)”可知,书店在图书选择方面,缺乏关注,E项“Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection.(对时尚书店的另一个挑战是缺乏对图书选择的关注)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据下文“This approach helps them create a unique identity and ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace.(这种方法帮助他们创造了一个独特的身份,并确保了他们在竞争激烈的市场中的生存)”推知,空处提到了一种对实体书店有用的方法,所以D项“Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them.(专注于好的书籍选择和有意义的文化服务对他们至关重要)”引出下文,符合文意。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A day before Morgan Perigo’s 83rd birthday last month, an unexpected package showed up on his doorstep. In it was the 1965 MoMaster University graduation ring he lost in 1977. The package was from Alex Davis, a professional free diver and fisherman who runs a tourism business in Barbados.
During a slow week for the tourism trade. Davis checked webcams (网络摄像头) showing a spot he was interested in after it had been stirred up by Hurricane Beryl earlier in the year. Suddenly, what were once picturesque sandy beaches are now revealing numerous exposed rocks. Davis recalled, “With that in mind, I’d like to visit a place where it looks like a significant amount of sand has been removed. ”
Diving with a metal detector, Davis at first found the usual rusted nails (生锈的钉子), bottle caps and coins. Then he noticed something interesting about the coins. “They were from the 70’s and 80’s and I started thinking wow, I’m in a zone where we’ve clearly got a lot of old stuff,” he said. Then his metal detector started to make a different sound. Knowing the sound meant gold, he began digging.
After digging through layers of sand and rock, Davis unearthed a ring with a dark red stone in the middle. Still underwater, he noticed the ring had not corroded (腐蚀) and had a jeweler’s mark — signaling it was made of pure gold.
When Davis got back to the land, he made the carving bigger, showing the words, “McMaster University 1965,” and the initials “FMP.” Davis recalled, “Once I saw that, I thought there was enough information here to try and get this back to the person. We’ve got the school, we’ve got the graduation year and we’ve got three initials.”
Davis immediately searched the McMaster University website and messaged the leader of the university’s Alumni Association. The email described how Davis discovered the ring and the personal information on the ring that might help the university identify its owner.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The search identified Frederick Morgan Perigo, and the school quickly told him. Perigo, now living a quiet life in a small town, was surprised when he received the call. He had long given up hope of ever seing his graduation ring again, having lost it during a family vacation over four decades ago. The memory of that sunny day in I977 when he misplaced it while playing with his children flashed back. He never imagined that one day, a kind-hearted stranger from halfway across the world would find it and make every effort to return it.
Deeply moved by the gesture, Perigo decided to express his thanks in a special way. He reached out to Davis, expressing his heartfelt appreciation and arranging to send a meaningful gift to show his thanks. A few days later, a package arrived at Davis’s tourism business, containing a beautifully framed photograph of Perigo wearing his graduation ring, along with a heartfelt letter of thanks. It was an act that warmed Davis’s heart and reminded him of the deep impact small acts of kindness can have on people’s lives.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Alex Davis是一位专业的自由潜水员和渔民,在巴巴多斯经营旅游业。在一次旅游业淡季期间,他使用金属探测器潜水时,发现了一枚带有深红色宝石的纯金戒指,戒指上刻有“McMaster University 1965”和缩写“FMP”。Davis通过戒指上的信息联系了麦克马斯特大学,最终将戒指归还给了失主Frederick Morgan Perigo。
【详解】1. 段落续写

Four Best National Parks in Canada
Waterton Lakes National Park
Waterton Lakes National Park is located in the south end of the province and features the beautiful grasslands, lakes, and of course, the Rocky Mountains. As the park’s name suggests, there are plenty of lakes to enjoyed. If you’ re feeling brave, you can jump in for a swim— but the water is a little cold, even in summer. However, there’s no better way to cool down quickly after a tiring hike.
Cape Breton Highlands National Park
Surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Highlands National Park features some of the most beautiful landscapes you’ll find in the entire country. The world-famous Cabot Trail winds through the park, so you can experience the rolling views without ever leaving your car.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gros Morne National Park features 1,805 square kilometers of incredible scenery on the west coast of Newfoundland.

Expert runners around the world consider a little under two hours to be a good half marathon time, but this number mostly has young, able-bodied competitors in mind. That’s why when 75-year-old Queruben Abella finished a 21-kilometer race in one hour and 56 minutes, people around his native Philippines and the world were simply in awe. Most amazingly, he did it in a pair of broken shoes.
Abella, who ran his first marathon at 14 and has continued to enjoy this practice for decades, is well versed in the running world. That’s why, although his shoes were bursting open at the sides, he preferred them over other pairs. To him, they were light and comfortable, and water didn’t get stuck inside when it rained. On top of that, they’ve taken him to many places.
The elderly runner’s impressive achievement happened at the 3rd Alturas Pink Run, on October 5. The race was organized to raise funds around Breast Cancer Awareness month — particularly, for 30patients currently undergoing chemotherapy (化疗). “It is amazing to see everyone so happy and passionate to join Pink Run,” he said. “It is such a worthy cause. And I would love to continue supporting it in the future.”
Mary Grace Ido Bernaldez, who is in charge of the Alturas Pink Run, said that Abella had been joining the marathon since 2022. “At 75, he is not just a runner; he is an inspiration to all of us. Abella’s determination teaches us that there are no limits to what we can do.”
Days after the race, the organizer visited Abella in his village, presenting him with a new pair of shoes — the third pair he had been gifted after the race, which he happily posed with for a Facebook picture. Since he hopes to be back next year, he may be proudly wearing a new pair in 2025.
4. What does the underlined word “versed” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Skilled. B. Interested. C. Weak. D. Strict.
5. What can we infer about Abella’s shoes from the text?
A. They were brand new and very expensive.
B. They were fashionable but uncomfortable.
C. They were worn out but comfortable for him.
D. They were specially designed for marathon running.
6. What is the purpose of the 3rd Alturas Pink Run?
A To promote tourism in the Philippines.
B. To collect money for breast cancer patients.
C. To celebrate the birthday of Queruben Abella.
D. To honor the achievements of elderly athletes.
7. What is Mary Grace Ido Bernaldez’s attitude towards Abella?
A. Admirable. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Curious.
C
Many woodland creatures enjoy eating acorns (橡子), but nothing is quite like the acorn woodpecker (啄木鸟). This medium-sized woodpecker is found across Central America and the western United States. They use their impressive pecking ability to create an incredible storage system for their precious acorns.
Acorn woodpeckers create storage trees out of dead branches, trees, houses, or even poles. Used year after year, the birds store their winter food supply in the perfectly formed holes they peck in the dead wood. Given that these impressive food stores can have upwards of 50,000holes, they aren’t just the work of a single acorn woodpecker. The species lives in family groups of up to 12 birds that share nests and even raise chicks together. They also work as a team to build the storage trees, which future generations will use to keep themselves fed throughout the year.
While there might be concerns that other animals could find these storage trees and take the acorns for themselves, the woodpeckers ensure that won’t happen. They manage to pack the acorns in so tightly that anyone looking for a free snack would have a hard time removing them from the holes.
As the acorns dry out, they become smaller in size, making them easier for the acorn woodpeckers to remove once it’s feeding time. To ensure that nothing is too loose before they’re ready to eat, a member of the group checks all the acorns from time to time and moves any shrunken (皱缩的) acorns to a smaller hole. These complex social behaviors have long attracted scientists, and are widely studied.
Though acorn woodpeckers are closely associated with acorns, it’s actually not their primary food source throughout the year. They prefer insects and fruits, relying on their backup food source of acorns to get them through the winter.
8. What’s the main characteristic of acorn woodpeckers according to Paragraph 1?
A. Their love for acorns. B. Their ability to peck.
C. Their natural habitat. D. Their medium size.
9. What can we know about acorn woodpeckers?

D
I think almost everyone has seen it, especially at Christmas or perhaps at a birthday party. A child gets an amazing number of presents and begins to open them. It becomes a race, tearing the wrapping off of each present and finally getting to the last one. Not spending significant time or attention with any specific toy, the child asks, “Is this all there is?”
This raises an interesting question: Does the number of toys affect the amount of time a young child spends playing with each toy and the quality of play with each toy?
To test the theory that an environment with fewer toys would lead to a higher quality of play, Dauch and his colleagues designed a clever laboratory study. The researchers chose 36 kids aged from 18 to 30 months and their parents. The participants came from similar socioeconomic backgrounds and had typical development of personal-social, motor, and cognitive (认知的) skills.
Thirty-two different toys were used in this study. The toys came from four categories of toys: (1) educational, (2) pretend (toys that suggest themed play), (3) action (building, opening, twisting), and (4) vehicles. Data collection took place in two similar playrooms.
There were two conditions for toy play: a four-toy and a 16-toy condition. Toys were randomly selected from the four categories of toys and assigned to the four or 16 toy conditions. Each kid and caregiver attended three one-hour sessions in which observers collected data. They recorded three types of data.
They found a significant difference in the quality of the kids’ play when there were four versus 16 toys. Kids in the four-toy condition engaged in a greater quality of play compared to the 16-toy condition. They found that having fewer toys can lead to better play, while a greater number of toys (16 compared to four) seemed to be a distraction (干扰), which caused the kids to abandon play with a toy to explore the others.
Control over attention is a key skill children need to master. Too many toys create distractions. Kids played twice as long with toys in the four versus the 16-toy condition and more imaginative ways.
12. Why did Dauch and his colleagues conduct the study?
A To assess the cognitive skills of kids.
B. To understand how kids choose toys.
C. To study how many toys affect play quality.
D. To compare different categories of toys.
13. How did the researchers ensure the participants were alike?
A. They selected kids who are boys.
B. They selected kids of the same age.
C. They selected kids who hadn’t played with toys before.
D. They selected kids with similar backgrounds and development.
14 What conclusion did Dauch and his colleagues draw from their study?
A. Educational toys benefit kids most. B. Fewer toys improve the quality of play.
C. More toys always lead to better play. D. Fewer toys result in abandoning play.
15. Where might the text be taken from?
A. A travel magazine. B. A toy company’s website.
C. A child psychology book. D. A news article about education.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A day before Morgan Perigo’s 83rd birthday last month, an unexpected package showed up on his doorstep. In it was the 1965 MoMaster University graduation ring he lost in 1977. The package was from Alex Davis, a professional free diver and fisherman who runs a tourism business in Barbados.
During a slow week for the tourism trade. Davis checked webcams (网络摄像头) showing a spot he was interested in after it had been stirred up by Hurricane Beryl earlier in the year. Suddenly, what were once picturesque sandy beaches are now revealing numerous exposed rocks. Davis recalled, “With that in mind, I’d like to visit a place where it looks like a significant amount of sand has been removed. ”
Diving with a metal detector, Davis at first found the usual rusted nails (生锈的钉子), bottle caps and coins. Then he noticed something interesting about the coins. “They were from the 70’s and 80’s and I started thinking wow, I’m in a zone where we’ve clearly got a lot of old stuff,” he said. Then his metal detector started to make a different sound. Knowing the sound meant gold, he began digging.
After digging through layers of sand and rock, Davis unearthed a ring with a dark red stone in the middle. Still underwater, he noticed the ring had not corroded (腐蚀) and had a jeweler’s mark — signaling it was made of pure gold.
When Davis got back to the land, he made the carving bigger, showing the words, “McMaster University 1965,” and the initials “FMP.” Davis recalled, “Once I saw that, I thought there was enough information here to try and get this back to the person. We’ve got the school, we’ve got the graduation year and we’ve got three initials.”
Davis immediately searched the McMaster University website and messaged the leader of the university’s Alumni Association. The email described how Davis discovered the ring and the personal information on the ring that might help the university identify its owner.

1.续写词数应150左右;

The search identified Frederick Morgan Perigo, and the school quickly told him.

Deeply moved by the gesture, Perigo decided to express his thanks in a special way.
