Every time Paul Johnston of Lehigh Acres, Florida, starts up his lawnmower (割草机), 16 of his rescue dogs come running. They know what the sound means: a ride through the neighborhood on an eight-car homemade barrel train. With one dog in each car, half the crew will have to wait for the next departure. Paul drives the lawnmower that pulls the train, and his wife, Alice, rides her bike behind to make sure that the dogs stay safe.
Neighbors watch the train drive by, taking videos and bringing their own dogs outside to see the spectacle. During the holiday season, Paul and Alice decorate the train with Christmas lights, turning it into the Wonderland Express.
But it’s the train’s year-round decorations that show the couple’s true motivation. Each car displays a slogan supporting pet adoption. “We hope seeing our train — and our dogs — will encourage people to provide a home to an animal who needs one,” Alice says.
Years ago, when the Johnstons lived in Costa Rica, they were saddened to see a number of street dogs wandering around, many of them sick or injured. “There was so much suffering,” Paul says. The couple wanted to help so they learned to give the dogs shots, clean their wounds and even set their broken bones. They opened their home to as many dogs as they could and found a vet who treated the sick dogs.
Paul and Alice returned to the United States in 2014, bringing 19 dogs with them. They currently have 16. Walking that many dogs is tricky, so Paul decided to build the train to give their pack of dogs more time outside. With tongues lolling and happy barking for the duration of the ride, it’s pretty clear his passengers approve.
None of the Johnstons’ dogs are up for adoption — after all, they’re family — but Paul and Alice hope the Wonderland Express inspires people to open their homes to dogs that are available at local rescues.
4. What do we know about Paul and Alice’s homemade train?
A. It annoyed neighbors by its noise. B. It was popular in the community.
C. It was used for commercial purposes. D. It provided neighbors entertainments.
5. What is the real motivation of the Johnstons to build Wonderland Express?
A. To give their own dogs more exercise. B. To show off their unique homemade train.
C. To attract more neighbors to their community. D. To inspire people to adopt rescue dogs.
6. What can be inferred about the Johnstons’ dogs from the passage?
A. They are all available for adoption. B. They are very sad during the ride.
C. They were rescued from Costa Rica. D. They are trained to perform tricks for the public.
7. Which words best describes the Johnstons?
A. Caring and responsible. B. Businesslike and creative.
C. Outgoing and Humorous. D. Authoritative and generous.
C
Do you move at every opportunity, or are you more of a sofa potato? Many of us sit for long at work or enjoy a good Netflix film in our downtime. But, this all means that we don’t move as much as we should for health. A new study published in Jama International Medicine confirms that the more you walk, the lower your risk of cancer and other conditions. Quality is important, too. The higher the intensity of steps, the better the overall benefits of the exercise.
There is a warning, however. The advantages of walking seem to level out once you’ve done around 10,000 steps. So should we be aiming to walk this amount every day?
The general view is that keeping your step count up is ultimately better for your body. The same study found that the people who take 10,000 steps have a lower risk of cancer than those who take 8,000. But our bodies are not perfect machines, and we have the complexities of genetics and other lifestyle factors to contend with. Additionally, it’s not as simple as that your health drops with step less than 10,000, or over that number, your health keeps increasing. And step counts above 10,000 have a similar risk and health benefit as hitting it, so you don’t have to push yourself to do much more than that.
A similar study found that our risk of dementia also decreases with the more steps we take every day. The people who took 3,800 steps had roughly half the reduced risk for dementia as people who took 9,800 steps. For those who are too comfortable on the couch, even the lower number would be an excellent step count to aim for as a start.
So make sure you get up and take movement breaks during your day — even if it’s walking to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. It’s not just the routine 30 minutes of scheduled exercise that keeps us healthy. As science has shown, it’s every step that counts.
8. What can be inferred from the passage about people who are “sofa potatoes”?
A. They are at a risk of health problems. B. They cannot benefit from walking,
C. They are more likely to watch Netflix. D. They aim for at least 10,000 steps every day.
9. How do people usually find the relationship between step count and health benefits?
A. The less you walk, the lower risk of cancer. B. The more steps taken, the better for health.
C. A lot of factors play a role in step for health. D. Only scheduled steps count for health benefit.
10. What does the example of the risk of dementia in paragraph 4 show?
A. Taking 9,800 steps can completely prevent dementia.
B. Even a relatively small increase in step count can be beneficial.
C. People who take 3,800 steps have no risk of dementia.
D. The risk of dementia is only related to the number of steps.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic Number: 10,000 Steps B. Steps: More Than Just a Form of Exercise
C. Couch Potatoes vs. Fitness Enthusiasts D. The Link Between Steps and Health: Inseparable
D
In the Digital Age we’ve grown accustomed to instant gratification. With a few clicks, we can access information, shop online, and communicate with people across the globe. However, this convenience has led to a decline in patience. Research suggests that practicing patience can actually improve our well-being and lead to better outcomes in various aspects of life.
Patience has long been regarded as a virtue, and now, scientific evidence firmly supports its numerous benefits. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude and patience can reduce stress, increase happiness, and even improve decision-making skills. For example, delaying immediate rewards in favor of long-term benefits can lead to greater satisfaction and success. This is because patience allows us to think more clearly and avoid impulsive actions that may have negative consequences.
Moreover, patience is crucial in building strong relationships. In a world where instant communication is the norm, people often expect immediate responses. However, taking the time to listen and understand others can lead to deeper connections and more meaningful interactions. For instance, putting off watching a favorite show to spend quality time with family or friends can strengthen bonds and create lasting memories.
Despite these benefits, many people struggle to be patient. The constant stream of notifications and the pressure to respond immediately can make it difficult to practice patience. However, small changes in behavior can make a big difference. For example, setting aside specific times to check emails or social media can help reduce the-urge to respond immediately. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and focusing on the present moment; can improve one’s ability to remain patient.
While the Digital Age has brought many conveniences, it has also weakened our patience. By acknowledging the significance of patience and making a conscious-effort-to-cultivate-it-in-our-daily-lives, we can experience remarkable improvements in our mental health, and overall quality of life.
12. What does the underlined word “gratification” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Gratitude. B. Satisfaction. C. Curiosity. D. Disturbance.
13. Which examples best illustrates the importance of patience in building relationships?
A. John always replies to his friends’ messages within seconds.
B. Tom quickly finishes his homework so that he can watch TV.
C. Lily buys a new dress online without thinking carefully.
D. Mary chooses to chat with her mother instead of playing mobile games.
14. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards the Digital Age?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The Digital Age has made people’s lives more convenient.
B. Patience is a virtue that should be practiced in the Digital Age.
C. Instant gratification is necessary for modern life.
D. Technology has improved people’s ability to communicate.

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。
Ava, a talented young artist, had been working on a series of paintings inspired by the ancient legends of her homeland. She spent months researching the stories, sketching rough drafts, and carefully choosing the perfect colors for each piece. Finally, after pouring her heart and soul into her work, she completed the collection.
Eager to share her creations with the world Ava applied to exhibit her paintings at the prestigious local art gallery. To her delight, her application was accepted, and she was given a prime spot in the upcoming exhibition. The days leading up to the opening night were filled with excitement and anticipation. Ava made sure every painting was perfectly framed and arranged in the gallery space.
On the night of the exhibition, the gallery was filled with art enthusiasts, critics, and potential buyers. Ava greeted the guests with a mixture of nervousness and pride. As people walked around, examining her paintings, she overheard snippets of their conversations. Some praised her use of color and the vividness of her depictions, while others were deeply intrigued by the way she had brought the ancient legends to life on the canvas.
However, just as the event was in full swing, a group of self-proclaimed art critics approached Ava. They looked at her paintings with a condescending air and began to critique her work harshly. One of them said, “The concepts are too old-fashioned. Modern art should be more abstract and experimental.” Ava was taken aback. Their words cut deep, and she felt a lump form in her throat. She had worked so hard, and now these people were tearing her work apart in front of everyone.
As the negative comments continued, Ava started to doubt herself. She wondered if she had been wrong to follow her own artistic vision. Should she have tried to be more modern and avant-garde? Just then, an elderly man, who had been quietly observing the commotion, stepped forward. He had a kind face and a gentle smile. “Don’t listen to them, young lady,” he said softly. “True art comes from the heart, not from following trends.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
The elderly man shared his similar story in his artistic journey.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Inspired by the elderly man’s words, Ava regained her confidence.

Every time Paul Johnston of Lehigh Acres, Florida, starts up his lawnmower (割草机), 16 of his rescue dogs come running. They know what the sound means: a ride through the neighborhood on an eight-car homemade barrel train. With one dog in each car, half the crew will have to wait for the next departure. Paul drives the lawnmower that pulls the train, and his wife, Alice, rides her bike behind to make sure that the dogs stay safe.
Neighbors watch the train drive by, taking videos and bringing their own dogs outside to see the spectacle. During the holiday season, Paul and Alice decorate the train with Christmas lights, turning it into the Wonderland Express.
But it’s the train’s year-round decorations that show the couple’s true motivation. Each car displays a slogan supporting pet adoption. “We hope seeing our train — and our dogs — will encourage people to provide a home to an animal who needs one,” Alice says.
Years ago, when the Johnstons lived in Costa Rica, they were saddened to see a number of street dogs wandering around, many of them sick or injured. “There was so much suffering,” Paul says. The couple wanted to help so they learned to give the dogs shots, clean their wounds and even set their broken bones. They opened their home to as many dogs as they could and found a vet who treated the sick dogs.
Paul and Alice returned to the United States in 2014, bringing 19 dogs with them. They currently have 16. Walking that many dogs is tricky, so Paul decided to build the train to give their pack of dogs more time outside. With tongues lolling and happy barking for the duration of the ride, it’s pretty clear his passengers approve.
None of the Johnstons’ dogs are up for adoption — after all, they’re family — but Paul and Alice hope the Wonderland Express inspires people to open their homes to dogs that are available at local rescues.
4. What do we know about Paul and Alice’s homemade train?
A. It annoyed neighbors by its noise. B. It was popular in the community.
C. It was used for commercial purposes. D. It provided neighbors entertainments.
5. What is the real motivation of the Johnstons to build Wonderland Express?
A. To give their own dogs more exercise. B. To show off their unique homemade train.
C. To attract more neighbors to their community. D. To inspire people to adopt rescue dogs.
6. What can be inferred about the Johnstons’ dogs from the passage?
A. They are all available for adoption. B. They are very sad during the ride.
C. They were rescued from Costa Rica. D. They are trained to perform tricks for the public.
7. Which words best describes the Johnstons?
A. Caring and responsible. B. Businesslike and creative.
C. Outgoing and Humorous. D. Authoritative and generous.

Do you move at every opportunity, or are you more of a sofa potato? Many of us sit for long at work or enjoy a good Netflix film in our downtime. But, this all means that we don’t move as much as we should for health. A new study published in Jama International Medicine confirms that the more you walk, the lower your risk of cancer and other conditions. Quality is important, too. The higher the intensity of steps, the better the overall benefits of the exercise.
There is a warning, however. The advantages of walking seem to level out once you’ve done around 10,000 steps. So should we be aiming to walk this amount every day?
The general view is that keeping your step count up is ultimately better for your body. The same study found that the people who take 10,000 steps have a lower risk of cancer than those who take 8,000. But our bodies are not perfect machines, and we have the complexities of genetics and other lifestyle factors to contend with. Additionally, it’s not as simple as that your health drops with step less than 10,000, or over that number, your health keeps increasing. And step counts above 10,000 have a similar risk and health benefit as hitting it, so you don’t have to push yourself to do much more than that.
A similar study found that our risk of dementia also decreases with the more steps we take every day. The people who took 3,800 steps had roughly half the reduced risk for dementia as people who took 9,800 steps. For those who are too comfortable on the couch, even the lower number would be an excellent step count to aim for as a start.
So make sure you get up and take movement breaks during your day — even if it’s walking to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. It’s not just the routine 30 minutes of scheduled exercise that keeps us healthy. As science has shown, it’s every step that counts.
8 What can be inferred from the passage about people who are “sofa potatoes”?
A. They are at a risk of health problems. B. They cannot benefit from walking,
C. They are more likely to watch Netflix. D. They aim for at least 10,000 steps every day.
9. How do people usually find the relationship between step count and health benefits?
A. The less you walk, the lower risk of cancer. B. The more steps taken, the better for health.
C. A lot of factors play a role in step for health. D. Only scheduled steps count for health benefit.
10. What does the example of the risk of dementia in paragraph 4 show?
A. Taking 9,800 steps can completely prevent dementia.
B. Even a relatively small increase in step count can be beneficial.
C. People who take 3,800 steps have no risk of dementia.
D. The risk of dementia is only related to the number of steps.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic Number: 10,000 Steps B. Steps: More Than Just a Form of Exercise
C. Couch Potatoes vs. Fitness Enthusiasts D. The Link Between Steps and Health: Inseparable
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明步行数量对身体健康的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you move at every opportunity, or are you more of a sofa potato? Many of us sit for long at work or enjoy a good Netflix film in our downtime. But, this all means that we don’t move as much as we should for health. A new study published in Jama International Medicine confirms that the more you walk, the lower your risk of cancer and other conditions. Quality is important, too. The higher the intensity of steps, the better the overall benefits of the exercise. (你是一有机会就动起来,还是更喜欢呆在沙发上?我们中的许多人在工作时坐很长时间,或者在休息时间欣赏一部好的Netflix电影。但是,这一切都意味着我们为了健康应该运动得不够多。发表在《Jama International Medicine》上的一项新研究证实,你走得越多,患癌症和其他疾病的风险就越低。质量也很重要。步数越高,锻炼的整体效果就越好。)”可知,久坐不动的人(“沙发土豆”)因缺乏运动而面临更高的健康风险。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The general view is that keeping your step count up is ultimately better for your body. (一般的观点是,保持你的步数最终对你的身体更好。)”可知,普遍的观点是保持步数增加最终对身体有好处。故选B。
【10题详解】

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study published in Jama International Medicine confirms that the more you walk, the lower your risk of cancer and other conditions. Quality is important, too. The higher the intensity of steps, the better the overall benefits of the exercise. (发表在《Jama International Medicine》上的一项新研究证实,你走得越多,患癌症和其他疾病的风险就越低。质量也很重要。步数越高,锻炼的整体效果就越好。)”以及文章深入探讨了步数(数量)、步频(质量)以及不同步数与各种状况之间的关系,如癌症和痴呆症。它真正揭示了步数与健康之间的联系。D选项“步数与健康的关系:不可分割”最符合文章标题。故选D。

In the Digital Age, we’ve grown accustomed to instant gratification. With a few clicks, we can access information, shop online, and communicate with people across the globe. However, this convenience has led to a decline in patience. Research suggests that practicing patience can actually improve our well-being and lead to better outcomes in various aspects of life.
Patience has long been regarded as a virtue and now, scientific evidence firmly supports its numerous benefits. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude and patience can reduce stress, increase happiness, and even improve decision-making skills. For example, delaying immediate rewards in favor of long-term benefits can lead to greater satisfaction and success. This is because patience allows us to think more clearly and avoid impulsive actions that may have negative consequences.
Moreover patience is crucial in building strong relationships. In a world where instant communication is the norm, people often expect immediate responses. However, taking the time to listen and understand others can lead to deeper connections and more meaningful interactions. For instance, putting off watching a favorite show to spend quality time with family or friends can strengthen bonds and create lasting memories.
Despite these benefits, many people struggle to be patient. The constant stream of notifications and the pressure to respond immediately can make it difficult to practice patience. However, small changes in behavior can make a big difference. For example, setting aside specific times to check emails or social media can help reduce the-urge to respond immediately. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and focusing on the present moment; can improve one’s ability to remain patient.
While the Digital Age has brought many conveniences, it has also weakened our patience. By acknowledging the significance of patience and making a conscious-effort-to-cultivate-it-in-our-daily-lives, we can experience remarkable improvements in our mental health, and overall quality of life.
12. What does the underlined word “gratification” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Gratitude. B. Satisfaction. C. Curiosity. D. Disturbance.
13. Which examples best illustrates the importance of patience in building relationships?
A. John always replies to his friends’ messages within seconds.
B. Tom quickly finishes his homework so that he can watch TV.
C. Lily buys a new dress online without thinking carefully.
D. Mary chooses to chat with her mother instead of playing mobile games.
14. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards the Digital Age?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The Digital Age has made people’s lives more convenient.
B. Patience is a virtue that should be practiced in the Digital Age.
C. Instant gratification is necessary for modern life.
D. Technology has improved people’s ability to communicate.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. B

词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In the Digital Age, we’ve grown accustomed to instant gratification. With a few clicks, we can access information, shop online, and communicate with people across the globe. However, this convenience has led to a decline in patience. (在数字时代,我们已逐渐习惯了即时gratification。只需点击几下,我们就能获取信息、在线购物并与全球各地的人交流。然而,这种便利导致了耐心的减退。)”可知,在数字时代,只需点击几下,我们就能获取信息、在线购物并与全球各地的人交流,人们已经习惯了即时满足感(即通过简单的操作就能立即获得想要的东西)。所以gratification在此处的意思是“满足,满意”。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Moreover, patience is crucial in building strong relationships. In a world where instant communication is the norm, people often expect immediate responses. However, taking the time to listen and understand others can lead to deeper connections and more meaningful interactions. For instance, putting off watching a favorite show to spend quality time with family or friends can strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. (此外,耐心对于建立牢固的关系至关重要。在一个即时通讯成为常态的世界里,人们往往期望立即得到回应。然而,花时间倾听和理解他人可以带来更深入的联系和更有意义的互动。例如,推迟看最喜欢的节目,与家人或朋友共度美好时光,可以加强彼此的联系,创造持久的回忆。)”可知,“玛丽选择和她妈妈聊天而不是玩手机游戏”最能说明耐心在建立关系中的重要性。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the Digital Age has brought many conveniences, it has also weakened our patience. By acknowledging the significance of patience and making a conscious-effort-to-cultivate-it-in-our-daily-lives, we can experience remarkable improvements in our mental health, and overall quality of life. (虽然数字时代带来了许多便利,但它也削弱了我们的耐心。通过认识到耐心的重要性并有意识地在日常生活中培养它,我们的心理健康和整体生活质量就能得到显著改善。)”可知,作者既提到了数字时代的便利,也指出了它带来的问题(如耐心下降),并提出了培养耐心的建议。因此,作者对数字时代的态度是客观的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Research suggests that practicing patience can actually improve our well-being and lead to better outcomes in various aspects of life. (研究表明,培养耐心实际上可以改善我们的幸福感,并在生活的各个方面带来更好的结果。)”以及最后一段中“By acknowledging the significance of patience and making a conscious effort to cultivate it in our daily lives, we can experience remarkable improvements in our mental health, and overall quality of life. (通过认识到耐心的重要性,并在日常生活中有意识地培养它,我们可以体验到心理健康和整体生活质量的显著提高。)”可知,文章主要讲述了在数字时代,人们已经习惯了即时满足感,但这种便利也导致了人们耐心的下降。研究表明,耐心实际上可以改善我们的幸福感,并在生活的各个方面带来更好的结果。文章还讨论了如何在日常生活中培养耐心。可知,这篇文章的主旨是在数字时代,耐心是一种应该被培养的美德。故选B。

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。
Ava, a talented young artist, had been working on a series of paintings inspired by the ancient legends of her homeland. She spent months researching the stories, sketching rough drafts, and carefully choosing the perfect colors for each piece. Finally, after pouring her heart and soul into her work, she completed the collection.
Eager to share her creations with the world, Ava applied to exhibit her paintings at the prestigious local art gallery. To her delight, her application was accepted, and she was given a prime spot in the upcoming exhibition. The days leading up to the opening night were filled with excitement and anticipation. Ava made sure every painting was perfectly framed and arranged in the gallery space.
On the night of the exhibition, the gallery was filled with art enthusiasts, critics, and potential buyers. Ava greeted the guests with a mixture of nervousness and pride. As people walked around, examining her paintings, she overheard snippets of their conversations. Some praised her use of color and the vividness of her depictions, while others were deeply intrigued by the way she had brought the ancient legends to life on the canvas.
However, just as the event was in full swing, a group of self-proclaimed art critics approached Ava. They looked at her paintings with a condescending air and began to critique her work harshly. One of them said, “The concepts are too old-fashioned. Modern art should be more abstract and experimental.” Ava was taken aback. Their words cut deep, and she felt a lump form in her throat. She had worked so hard, and now these people were tearing her work apart in front of everyone.
As the negative comments continued, Ava started to doubt herself. She wondered if she had been wrong to follow her own artistic vision. Should she have tried to be more modern and avant-garde? Just then, an elderly man, who had been quietly observing the commotion, stepped forward. He had a kind face and a gentle smile. “Don’t listen to them, young lady,” he said softly. “True art comes from the heart, not from following trends.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
The elderly man shared his similar story in his artistic journey.

【答案】参考范文
The elderly man shared his similar story in his artistic journey. He told Ava that when he was young, his paintings were often dismissed as too traditional. But he didn’t let the negative remarks stop him. Instead, he continued to paint what he loved, drawing inspiration from his own experiences and emotions. Over the years, his unique style had been recognized, and his works were now highly valued. His story showed Ava that staying true to oneself was the key to success in art.
Inspired by the elderly man’s words, Ava regained her confidence. She realized that her paintings were a reflection of her passion for the ancient legends and her homeland. She walked up to the group of critics and calmly said, “My art is a part of me. I create for the love of it, not to meet your standards.” Then, she turned to the other guests, ready to share the stories behind her paintings with newfound courage. As she spoke, people listened intently, and the atmosphere in the gallery shifted. Her authenticity and passion won over the crowd, and the exhibition ended up being a huge success.
