Top Four Cities in Africa for a Great Vacation
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Getting around: Taxis are fine; walking is better.
Though Ethiopian food is familiar to a lot of people, on the streets of Addis, it’s all about coffee. Social life in Addis is built on its preparation and consumption. It’s a chance to sit down among a mostly local crowd and order a coffee.
Lusaka, Zambia
Getting around: Taxis are affordable.
This city is known for Victoria Falls. Small shops are lit at night and they sell everything from newspapers to soft drinks. On the way, there is the outdoor Mingling Bar, where customers can enjoy a can of Original American Cola.
Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
Getting around: Taxis are cheap.
Abidjan’s 5 million people are spread out across four areas. When night falls, Yopougon is worth heading to. The roads are dusty in the part of Abidjan, but like many cities where living spaces are small, Abidjan lives its life on its streets. Just to the east of Yopougon is the Plateau, the business area. This area’s modernist building is great and mostly the result of a cocoa-and coffee-based economic development in the 1950s and 1960s.
Dakar, Senegal
Getting around: Taxis are plentiful.
Possibly the best thing about Dakar is its beach restaurants: special collections of tables and chairs where customers are served the freshly caught fish. Servers will often offer to run out to a nearby corner store to buy beer and bring it to the table.
21. Where is Victoria Falls?
A In Abidjan. B. In Addis Ababa. C. In Lusaka. D. In Dakar.
22. What contributes most to the Plateau’s modernist building?
A. Art. B. Coffee business. C. History. D. Population.
23. What is special about the beach restaurants in Dakar?
A. They are self-service. B. They are all about coffee.
C. They serve freshly caught fish. D. They offer free Original American Cola.

The Chinese New Year parade isn't the only place to watch a lion dance in. the San Francisco Bay Area. At weddings, grand openings of new businesses and other celebrations, the traditional Chinese art is performed year-round, thanks to the contributions of lion dance groups and young people increasingly embracing the activity.
Connie Lu, a senior at Lincoln High School in San Francisco, has been practicing lion dance for three years in a youth lion dance club. She performed as the lion's head at a high school competition during the weekend in San Francisco's Chinatown to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
“I officially started performing in my freshman year, but I had been a ’tail’ in a Chinese school for some years. I was only following the head’s steps,” Lu said. “I think being a head is more fun because you can play out the lion.”
Lu’s team — eleven girls and two boys — participated in the competition, along with four other teams of about 100 players. The event also attracted hundreds of tourists. Blinking big eyes and shaking the body, the yellow lion played by Lu and her teammates jumped up on a narrow bench to the beat of drums and gongs and picked up a hanging flower bouquet. The dancers’ skillful movements won a big round of applause from the audience.
Each performance has a unique meaning. Lu’s performance tells the story of a lion who tries to cross a river to get a flower for his friend, but he is afraid of the river at first. Finally, he conquers the challenge and gets the flower to his friend.
“The meaning is that everyone has struggles in life and it can be scary. But when we work together and work hard, we can achieve it,” said Sophia Lee, a teammate of Lu’s. “The practice of lion dancing serves as a way to celebrate our cultural heritage with audience abroad, giving them a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich Chinese traditions.”
24. What might be Lu’s favourite role in a lion dance?
A. The head. B. The tail. C. The body. D. The leg.
25. How many teams joined in the competition in total?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
26. What can we learn about Lu in the competition?
A. She was unfamiliar with a lion dance. B. Her role is still scary for her.
C. She gave up in the face of difficulty. D. Her performance tells a story of a brave lion.
27. What does Sophia Lee agree with about the lion dance?
A. It focuses on individual spirit. B. It's a chance to share Chinese culture.
C. It's hardly accepted abroad. D. It doesn't require a high level of skills.
C
In recent years, I have tried to appreciate younger artists such as Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and Sabrina Carpenter, but songs from the 2000s hold a special place in my heart and mind.
As I see other generations of music lovers say music was so much better when they were younger, I wondered why. We can’t all be right—or maybe we are, I talked to experts about how music influences our brains to find out.
“It’s not that music was better when we were younger, it’s that music brings out very, very strong emotions,” said Dr. Rita Aiello, a music psychologist at New York University. “Music is a very strong reminder of things that happened in our past.”
But why does music hold such power? “Music is episodic (情景性的),” said Dr. Robert Cutietta, a professor of music at the University of Southern California. “If you look at an artwork or something, you can look at it and leave, Music is over time. There’s a part of our brain called episodic memory—that’s where it goes.”
The feelings connected to music during our younger years create a strong, lasting connection, with both happy and sad emotions mixing together when we listen to a song.
What if you see the 1970s and 1980s as the best, time for real music, even though every decade has some high- or low-quality songs? It may be because you’re remembering the songs that were meaningful to you and forgetting the ones that weren’t. “There are situations that made certain songs special to you, and the memories of those situations will come back when you hear the songs,” Aiello said.
“Every era has some songs that are not of high quality but still become huge hits,” Cutietta said. “They’re still there somewhere in our memory, but we choose not to pull those up. Naturally, we tend to pull up the songs we like.”
28. Why do people prefer music from their youth according to experts?
A. New music lacks creativity. B. Today’s songs have a really quick beat.
C. It can connect their feelings with the past. D. It always brings out happy emotions.
29. Why does Cutietta mention an artwork in paragraph 4?
A. To make a comparison. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To give a warning. D. To offer a suggestion.
30. What does the author say about music from different times?
A. The 1970s and 1980s had the worst music.
B. The 2000s is the only time with good music.
C. Each decade has a mix of good and bad songs.
D. Bad music from the 1980s has become popular today.
31. What does the underlined word “those” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Pop singers. B. Bad experiences.
C. Favourite songs. D. Popular but low-quality songs.
D
Titania Jordan, working at Bark Technologies, knows that parents today face a tough challenge: raising kids in a world filled with technology. That’s why she’s devoted to helping them navigate the digital landscape. “Parents need to be aware of what their children are exposed to online,” she stresses. “It’s not just about monitoring; it’s about understanding and leading them through this new world.”
Jordan and her team work on developing tools that allow parents to protect their children from the dangers of the Internet. “We help parents filter out things like cyberbullying, inappropriate contents, and even potential attackers,” she explains. The platform sends warnings to parents when it detects something concerning, giving them the power to take action.
Jordan believes that education is key. “We need to educate parents about the risks and how to talk to their kids about them,” she says. She often holds classes and talks, explaining why it’s important to talk openly and set good limits on how much technology we use.
One of the biggest problems Jordan addresses is the fear of missing out that children experience when they see their friends posting about fun events which they’re not part of. “It’s crucial for parents to help their children understand that social media often shows the best parts, not reality,” she says. “We need to teach them to appreciate real-life experiences rather than comparing themselves to others online.”
Jordan also stresses the importance of setting a good example. “Parents should model healthy tech habits,” she advises. “If parents are always on their phones, their kids will follow suit. But if parents show balance, it sends a strong message about the role of technology in our lives.”
“Despite the challenges,” Jordan adds, “technology is here to stay, and we just need to ensure it’s used in a way that enriches our children’s lives, not harms them.”
32. What does Jordan suggest parents do when their children use the Internet?
A. Offer instruction. B. Turn a blind eye.
C. Monitor everything. D. Cut Internet access.
33. What does the underlined phrase “filter out” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Add. B. Remove. C. Keep. D. Mix.
34. How are parents advised to deal with their children’s fear of missing out?
A. By asking them to post fun events.
B. By showing them social media’s best parts.
C. By setting a good example in communicating with teachers.
D. By telling them to value reality over online comparisons.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Internet Developments and Threats B. A Parent’s Guide in Kids’ Digital World
C. Social Media and Mental Health in Teens D. The Impact of Technology on Child Development

On a bright, sunny day, my friend and I decided to have a hike up the nearby mountain. The weather was fine, with a gentle breeze (微风) and a clear blue sky overhead. We were having a great time in nature, looking at all the green plants and colorful flowers around us. As we climbed higher, we chatted about our plans for the future and shared laughter at our shared memories.
Suddenly, we heard a weak sound coming from a nearby bush. Curious, we approached as quietly as a mouse and discovered a small bird with an injured wing. It was clear that the bird was in trouble, and we really wanted to help. However, every time we tried to approach the bird, it would fly away in fear, staying away from us.
Deciding to save the little bird, my friend had an idea. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a small piece of fruit and bread that he had packed for our hike. Gently, he placed the foods near the bush, hoping they would get the bird to come closer.
At first, the bird remained careful, its eyes darting (转动) between us and the foods. Slowly, hunger seemed to overcome its fear, and it hopped towards the foods, carefully pecking at (啄食) the foods. My friend and I stayed very still, not wanting to frighten it away again.
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。
After a few minutes, the bird seemed to realize that we were not a threat.

Top Four Cities in Africa for a Great Vacation
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Getting around: Taxis are fine; walking is better.
Though Ethiopian food is familiar to a lot of people, on the streets of Addis, it’s all about coffee. Social life in Addis is built on its preparation and consumption. It’s a chance to sit down among a mostly local crowd and order a coffee.
Lusaka, Zambia
Getting around: Taxis are affordable.
This city is known for Victoria Falls. Small shops are lit at night, and they sell everything from newspapers to soft drinks. On the way, there is the outdoor Mingling Bar, where customers can enjoy a can of Original American Cola.
Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
Getting around: Taxis are cheap.
Abidjan’s 5 million people are spread out across four areas. When night falls, Yopougon is worth heading to. The roads are dusty in the part of Abidjan, but like many cities where living spaces are small, Abidjan lives its life on its streets. Just to the east of Yopougon is the Plateau, the business area. This area’s modernist building is great and mostly the result of a cocoa-and coffee-based economic development in the 1950s and 1960s.
Dakar, Senegal
Getting around: Taxis are plentiful.
Possibly the best thing about Dakar is its beach restaurants: special collections of tables and chairs where customers are served the freshly caught fish. Servers will often offer to run out to a nearby corner store to buy beer and bring it to the table.
21. Where is Victoria Falls?
A. In Abidjan. B. In Addis Ababa. C. In Lusaka. D. In Dakar.
22. What contributes most to the Plateau’s modernist building?
A. Art. B. Coffee business. C. History. D. Population.
23. What is special about the beach restaurants in Dakar?
A. They are self-service. B. They are all about coffee.
C. They serve freshly caught fish. D. They offer free Original American Cola.

The Chinese New Year parade isn't the only place to watch a lion dance in. the San Francisco Bay Area. At weddings, grand openings of new businesses and other celebrations, the traditional Chinese art is performed year-round, thanks to the contributions of lion dance groups and young people increasingly embracing the activity.
Connie Lu, a senior at Lincoln High School in San Francisco, has been practicing lion dance for three years in a youth lion dance club. She performed as the lion's head at a high school competition during the weekend in San Francisco's Chinatown to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
“I officially started performing in my freshman year but I had been a ’tail’ in a Chinese school for some years. I was only following the head’s steps,” Lu said. “I think being a head is more fun because you can play out the lion.”
Lu’s team — eleven girls and two boys — participated in the competition, along with four other teams of about 100 players. The event also attracted hundreds of tourists. Blinking big eyes and shaking the body, the yellow lion played by Lu and her teammates jumped up on a narrow bench to the beat of drums and gongs and picked up a hanging flower bouquet. The dancers’ skillful movements won a big round of applause from the audience.
Each performance has a unique meaning. Lu’s performance tells the story of a lion who tries to cross a river to get a flower for his friend, but he is afraid of the river at first. Finally, he conquers the challenge and gets the flower to his friend.
“The meaning is that everyone has struggles in life and it can be scary. But when we work together and work hard, we can achieve it,” said Sophia Lee, a teammate of Lu’s. “The practice of lion dancing serves as a way to celebrate our cultural heritage with audience abroad, giving them a deeper understanding and appreciation for the rich Chinese traditions.”
24. What might be Lu’s favourite role in a lion dance?
A. The head. B. The tail. C. The body. D. The leg.
25. How many teams joined in the competition in total?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
26. What can we learn about Lu in the competition?
A. She was unfamiliar with a lion dance. B. Her role is still scary for her.
C. She gave up in the face of difficulty. D. Her performance tells a story of a brave lion.
27. What does Sophia Lee agree with about the lion dance?
A. It focuses on individual spirit. B. It's a chance to share Chinese culture.
C. It's hardly accepted abroad. D. It doesn't require a high level of skills.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B

C
In recent years, I have tried to appreciate younger artists such as Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and Sabrina Carpenter, but songs from the 2000s hold a special place in my heart and mind.
As I see other generations of music lovers say music was so much better when they were younger, I wondered why. We can’t all be right—or maybe we are, I talked to experts about how music influences our brains to find out.
“It’s not that music was better when we were younger, it’s that music brings out very, very strong emotions,” said Dr. Rita Aiello, a music psychologist at New York University. “Music is a very strong reminder of things that happened in our past.”
But why does music hold such power? “Music is episodic (情景性的),” said Dr. Robert Cutietta, a professor of music at the University of Southern California. “If you look at an artwork or something, you can look at it and leave, Music is over time. There’s a part of our brain called episodic memory—that’s where it goes.”
The feelings connected to music during our younger years create a strong, lasting connection, with both happy and sad emotions mixing together when we listen to a song.
What if you see the 1970s and 1980s as the best, time for real music, even though every decade has some high- or low-quality songs? It may be because you’re remembering the songs that were meaningful to you and forgetting the ones that weren’t. “There are situations that made certain songs special to you, and the memories of those situations will come back when you hear the songs,” Aiello said.
“Every era has some songs that are not of high quality but still become huge hits,” Cutietta said. “They’re still there somewhere in our memory, but we choose not to pull those up. Naturally, we tend to pull up the songs we like.”
28. Why do people prefer music from their youth according to experts?
A. New music lacks creativity. B. Today’s songs have a really quick beat.
C. It can connect their feelings with the past. D. It always brings out happy emotions.
29. Why does Cutietta mention an artwork in paragraph 4?
A. To make a comparison. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To give a warning. D. To offer a suggestion.
30. What does the author say about music from different times?
A. The 1970s and 1980s had the worst music.
B. The 2000s is the only time with good music.
C. Each decade has a mix of good and bad songs.
D. Bad music from the 1980s has become popular today.
31. What does the underlined word “those” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Pop singers. B. Bad experiences.
C. Favourite songs. D. Popular but low-quality songs.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述音乐因触发情景记忆而让人偏爱青春时代歌曲,每年代作品优劣并存。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““It’s not that music was better when we were younger, it’s that music brings out very, very strong emotions,” said Dr. Rita Aiello, a music psychologist at New York University. “Music is a very strong reminder of things that happened in our past.” (纽约大学的音乐心理学家丽塔·艾洛博士说:“并不是说我们年轻的时候音乐更好,而是音乐能激发出非常非常强烈的情感。音乐能强烈地提醒我们过去发生的事情。”)”可知,人们更喜欢年轻时的音乐是因为它可以将他们的感情与过去联系起来。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““If you look at an artwork or something, you can look at it and leave, Music is over time. There’s a part of our brain called episodic memory—that’s where it goes.”(“如果你看一件艺术品或其他东西,你可以看着它然后离开,音乐是随着时间推移的。我们大脑中有一个叫做情景记忆的部分——这就是它的作用。”)”可知,观看艺术品是当下即时的,而音乐随着时间的推移依然可以在脑海中以情境记忆的形式留存。由此可知,Cutietta在第4段提到艺术品是为了将艺术品与音乐作对比。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“What if you see the 1970s and 1980s as the best, time for real music, even though every decade has some high- or low-quality songs? It may be because you’re remembering the songs that were meaningful to you and forgetting the ones that weren’t. (如果你认为20世纪70年代和80年代是真正音乐的最佳时期,即使每十年都有一些高质量或低质量的歌曲呢?这可能是因为你记住了那些对你有意义的歌曲,而忘记了那些没有意义的。)”可知,每个十年都有好歌和坏歌,我们记住的是那些对我们有意义的歌曲。故选C。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段““Every era has some songs that are not of high quality but still become huge hits,” Cutietta said. “They’re still there somewhere in our memory, (库蒂埃塔说:“每个时代都有一些质量不高但仍然大受欢迎的歌曲。它们还在我们记忆中的某个地方)”可知,一些质量不高但仍然大受欢迎的歌曲,我们仍然把它们放在记忆中的某个地方,而下文“Naturally, we tend to pull up the songs we like. (自然地,我们倾向于把我们喜欢的歌曲拉出来)”可知,我们喜欢的流行歌曲中,有一些是质量高,有一些是质量不高的,而我们倾向于把我们喜欢的流行歌曲拉出来。由此推断这里的those是指那些流行但质量不高的歌曲。故选D。
D
Titania Jordan working at Bark Technologies, knows that parents today face a tough challenge: raising kids in a world filled with technology. That’s why she’s devoted to helping them navigate the digital landscape. “Parents need to be aware of what their children are exposed to online,” she stresses. “It’s not just about monitoring; it’s about understanding and leading them through this new world.”
Jordan and her team work on developing tools that allow parents to protect their children from the dangers of the Internet. “We help parents filter out things like cyberbullying, inappropriate contents, and even potential attackers,” she explains. The platform sends warnings to parents when it detects something concerning, giving them the power to take action.
Jordan believes that education is key. “We need to educate parents about the risks and how to talk to their kids about them,” she says. She often holds classes and talks, explaining why it’s important to talk openly and set good limits on how much technology we use.
One of the biggest problems Jordan addresses is the fear of missing out that children experience when they see their friends posting about fun events which they’re not part of. “It’s crucial for parents to help their children understand that social media often shows the best parts, not reality,” she says. “We need to teach them to appreciate real-life experiences rather than comparing themselves to others online.”
Jordan also stresses the importance of setting a good example. “Parents should model healthy tech habits,” she advises. “If parents are always on their phones, their kids will follow suit. But if parents show balance, it sends a strong message about the role of technology in our lives.”
“Despite the challenges,” Jordan adds, “technology is here to stay, and we just need to ensure it’s used in a way that enriches our children’s lives, not harms them.”
32. What does Jordan suggest parents do when their children use the Internet?
A. Offer instruction. B. Turn a blind eye.
C. Monitor everything. D. Cut Internet access.
33. What does the underlined phrase “filter out” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Add. B. Remove. C. Keep. D. Mix.
34. How are parents advised to deal with their children’s fear of missing out?
A. By asking them to post fun events.
B. By showing them social media’s best parts.
C. By setting a good example in communicating with teachers.
D. By telling them to value reality over online comparisons.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Internet Developments and Threats B. A Parent’s Guide in Kids’ Digital World
C. Social Media and Mental Health in Teens D. The Impact of Technology on Child Development
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。Titania Jordan强调父母需了解孩子的网络活动,并以身作则引导孩子合理使用网络。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s not just about monitoring; it’s about understanding and leading them through this new world.(这不仅仅是关于监督;而是要理解并带领他们穿越这个新世界)”可知,Jordan建议父母在孩子使用网络时给予指导。故选A。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词前“protect their children from the dangers of the Internet(保护他们的孩子免受互联网的危害)”和后文“things like cyberbullying, inappropriate contents, and even potential attackers(像网络欺凌、不恰当的内容,甚至潜在的攻击者这样的东西)”可知,要保护孩子免受互联网的危害,就需要帮助家长去除掉网络欺凌、不恰当的内容,甚至潜在的攻击者。故画线词词义与Remove最为接近。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One of the biggest problems Jordan addresses is the fear of missing out that children experience when they see their friends posting about fun events which they’re not part of. “It’s crucial for parents to help their children understand that social media often shows the best parts, not reality,” she says. “We need to teach them to appreciate real-life experiences rather than comparing themselves to others online.”(Jordan解决的最大问题之一是孩子们害怕错过当他们看到他们的朋友发布他们没有参与的有趣事件时的体验。她说:“对父母来说,帮助孩子理解社交媒体经常展示的是最好的部分,而不是现实,这一点至关重要。我们需要教他们欣赏现实生活中的经历,而不是在网上和别人比较。”)”可知,父母可告知孩子要重视现实,而不是线上攀比来处理他们的错失感。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Titania Jordan, working at Bark Technologies, knows that parents today face a tough challenge: raising kids in a world filled with technology. That’s why she’s devoted to helping them navigate the digital landscape. “Parents need to be aware of what their children are exposed to online,” she stresses. “It’s not just about monitoring; it’s about understanding and leading them through this new world.”(在Bark Technologies工作的泰坦尼亚·乔丹知道,如今的父母面临着一个艰巨的挑战:在一个充满科技的世界里抚养孩子。这就是为什么她致力于帮助他们驾驭数字景观。她强调:“父母需要意识到他们的孩子在网上接触到了什么。这不仅仅是监督;而是要理解并带领他们穿越这个新世界。”)”以及文章主要说明了Titania Jordan强调父母需了解孩子的网络活动,并以身作则引导孩子合理使用网络。B选项“儿童数字世界中的家长指导”最符合文章标题。故选B。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章分享了几个保持年轻和活力的方法。
【36题详解】
根据前文“A healthy diet is the number one factor (因素) influencing an active life.(健康的饮食是影响积极生活的首要因素)”以及后文“Exercise! People tend to think of exercise being beneficial for now.(锻炼!人们倾向于认为锻炼现在是有益的)”可知,前文在讲述健康饮食,后文讲述锻炼,所以空处应是过渡句,D项“But do you know what is the second factor(但你知道第二个因素是什么吗)”符合文意,承接上文,其中factor为同词复现,通过设问,引出下文。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Health and longevity can be achieved by doing cardiovascular exercises, as shown in a study.(一项研究表明,做心血管运动可以达到健康和长寿的目的)”以及后文“You can also include some other activities, such as hiking, riding a bike quickly, or climbing stairs.(你也可以加入一些其他的活动,比如徒步旅行,快速骑自行车,或者爬楼梯)”可知,前文讲述做心血管运动可以达到健康和长寿的目的,后文说也可以做哪些运动,所以空处应是提出具体运动,F项“They can be fast walking, gardening, or swimming(它们可以是快走、园艺或游泳)”符合文意。故选F项。
【38题详解】
分析设空,为本段小标题,根据后文“Don’t focus on cardio alone. As one ages, there is a natural loss of muscle mass, so adding in weight-bearing exercises helps to build up bone mineral, according to Well+ Good.(不要只专注于有氧运动。根据Well+ Good的说法,随着年龄的增长,肌肉质量会自然减少,所以增加负重运动有助于增加骨矿物质)”可知,本段主要讲述,除了做有氧运动,还要专注于锻炼肌肉力量,所以A项“Work on strength(锻炼力量)”符合本段主题,为本段小标题。故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据后文“As they get older, their bones become much less strong than men, making them more likely to have broken bones. Yoga and mountain climbing can help you build up strength and also work on flexibility (柔韧性), which is the next important area for your workout.(随着年龄的增长,她们的骨骼变得比男性弱得多,这使她们更容易骨折。瑜伽和登山可以帮助你增强力量,也可以锻炼柔韧性,这是你锻炼的下一个重要领域)”可知,前文提到增加负重运动有助于增加骨矿物质,后文开始提到女性更需要增加负重运动,所以C项“This is especially important for women(这对女性来说尤其重要)”符合文意,承接上文,引出下文。故选C项。
【40题详解】
设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“As one ages, one may have less mobility and range of motion. Flexibility is more important than anything else: If you do not do flexibility exercises, your muscles can actually shorten! Practicing yoga flows is the best exercise for working on flexibility. Staying flexible will give you a wider range of mobility and improve your balance as you age.(随着年龄的增长,一个人的活动能力和活动范围可能会减少。柔韧性比什么都重要:如果你不做柔韧性练习,你的肌肉实际上会变短!练习瑜伽流是锻炼柔韧性的最好方法。随着年龄的增长,保持灵活会给你更大的活动范围,提高你的平衡能力)”可知,本段主要讲述需要增加柔韧性,所以G项“Flexibility will also lower the risk of having pain in your back(柔韧性也会降低背部疼痛的风险)”符合本段主题,其中flexibility为同词复现。故选G项。

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。
On a bright, sunny day, my friend and I decided to have a hike up the nearby mountain. The weather was fine, with a gentle breeze (微风) and a clear blue sky overhead. We were having a great time in nature, looking at all the green plants and colorful flowers around us. As we climbed higher, we chatted about our plans for the future and shared laughter at our shared memories.
Suddenly, we heard a weak sound coming from a nearby bush. Curious, we approached as quietly as a mouse and discovered a small bird with an injured wing. It was clear that the bird was in trouble, and we really wanted to help. However, every time we tried to approach the bird, it would fly away in fear, staying away from us.
Deciding to save the little bird, my friend had an idea. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a small piece of fruit and bread that he had packed for our hike. Gently, he placed the foods near the bush, hoping they would get the bird to come closer.
At first, the bird remained careful, its eyes darting (转动) between us and the foods. Slowly, hunger seemed to overcome its fear, and it hopped towards the foods, carefully pecking at (啄食) the foods. My friend and I stayed very still, not wanting to frighten it away again.
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。
After a few minutes, the bird seemed to realize that we were not a threat.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At home, we took good care of the bird.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After a few minutes, the bird seemed to realize that we were not a threat. It began to eat more freely, and we were able to get closer within arm’s reach. At this time, my friend caught the bird quickly. The bird struggled in the hand, trying to fly away. Gently, we examined its injury, and then we wrapped a soft cloth around the bird. We decided to give up walking forward and take the bird home.
At home, we took good care of the bird. First, we cleaned the bird’s wound, and then we provided it with food and water. Over the next few days, the bird’s trust in us grew. It would allow us to touch its feathers and seemed to rely on our care. As the bird’s wing healed, we knew that eventually, we would have to release it back into the wild. On another fine day for hiking, we set the bird free at the same place where we saved it. We cherished the bond we had formed. Our mountain adventure was a journey of friendship and a reminder of the fine connection between humans and the natural world.
【解析】
