Here are some enjoyable UK races to choose from this month.
Winter Sugar Loaf
Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, 2 November
This fell race north of Abergavenny costs just £9 to enter, but don’t wait too long if you want to join — only 125 runners can take part. You’ll be following a largely unmarked path to the top of the Sugar Loaf and since the weather may be terrible, full equipment is required. It may be only 9.6 km in length, but there are some seriously steep (陡的) bits on this tough race.
fellrace.com
Wendover Woods 50
Wendover, Buckinghamshire, 9 November
There are nine aid stations with lots of snacks, so you’ll always have food nearby. You’ll need them for this 50-mile race. The hills never end and by the time you reach the finish, you’ll have climbed some 3,000 m. But the paths are pretty well built.
centurionrunning.com
Conwy Half Marathon
Conwy, Caernarfonshire, 17 November
This race heads north out of Conwy towards Llandudno and that big rock sticking out into the sea-hat’s Great Orme, and you’re running around it rather than up it. But the path around it still includes some punishing climbs. It’s just one of many beautiful sites along the way.
rumwales.com
Tadcaster 10
Tadcaster, Yorkshire, 23 November
The path is a straightforward loop on closed roads that are mostly flat. With the first and last few kilometres in the town of Tadcaster, you’ll get a nice mix of support from locals and quiet time in the countryside.
racebest.com

At 30, Li Yangyang never imagined that her degree in international business would lead to a career in ancient book restoration.
In 2017, after graduating from college, Li was exploring different job opportunities. One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job.
Restoring ancient books is more difficult than it looks. A typical project has more than 20 steps, such as taking photos for records, preparing paper, taking apart books, cleaning, binding (装订) and more. Depending on the damage, Li may restore 30 pages a day — or just one or two.
“Book bricks” is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. Aesthetics (美学) are also important. Restoration isn’t just about “fixing” the book. The page margins (页边距) and backing paper color must match the original.
Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. “Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,” she said. “Over-restoration can be more damaging than leaving the book untouched.” She also warns against working while upset. She once nearly damaged a book out of frustration.
With China placing more value on cultural heritage, ancient book restoration is now growing fast. In October 2024, Li opened her own studio and now accepts orders from both groups and individuals. Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu andDouyin to promote this work. “I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,” Li said.
4. What initially inspired Li to pursue ancient book restoration?
A. Her passion for cultural heritage protection.
B. Her determination to challenge herself.
C. Her desire to apply her college major.
D. Her curiosity about the job posting.
5. According to the article, what is a major challenge in restoring “book bricks”?
A. Matching the original paper color.
B. Safely separating stuck-together pages.
C. Using historical binding techniques correctly.
D. Drying the damp paper naturally and slowly.
6. What key advice does Li give to new restorers?
A. Evaluate their restoration ability before starting.
B. Take on diverse projects to build skills quickly.
C. Continue working even while in a bad mood.
D. Always ask experienced restorers for help.
7. Why does Li share restoration videos on social media?
A. To bring ancient books into everyday life.
B. To teach the public basic restoration skills.
C. To promote her studio’s restoration services.
D. To show the challenges of restoration work.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A

Curious, she sent her application and got the job. (一天,她看到一家文化科技公司在招聘古籍修复师。该公司为没有经验的人提供培训。出于好奇,她提交了申请并得到了这份工作。)”可知,李阳阳最初对这份招聘启事的好奇促使她追求古籍修复的工作。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘Book bricks’ is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. (‘书砖’是修复人员给那些变得像砖头一样硬的书的绰号。有些书非常潮湿,书页粘在一起,即使是第一步——展平书页——也可能需要一整天的时间。一个错误的举动就可能把书页撕破。)”可推知,修复“书砖”的主要挑战是安全地将粘在一起的书页分开。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. ‘Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,’ she said. (李说,初学者需要保持冷静,尊重工作。‘在开始修复之前,你必须问自己:我的技能能处理这个问题吗?如果不能,最好向有经验的修复人员寻求帮助,而不是冒险让事情变得更糟,’她说。)”可知,李给新手修复师的关键建议是在开始修复前评估自己的修复能力。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu and Douyin to promote this work. ‘I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,’ Li said.

In South Africa, a former passenger train now serves as a travelling medical center to provide health services to people in need.
The train is known as Phelophepa, which means “good, clean, health”. It travels across South Africa to provide medical care to a mix of patients for whom usual health care is unavailable (难以获得的) or rare. The train has been operating since the early 1990s. The train carries medical professionals around the country, even to the most rural villages. Officials say the service helps at least 375,000 South Africans each year.
The care patients receive is different from the government’s main public health care system. That system serves an estimated 84 percent of the population. But government insurance plans are too costly for many people to pay for.
Thethi we Mahlangu has used the health train and recently spoke to the media about her experiences. She said local health clinics in her area — in Tembisa — cannot effectively serve her needs. “There we are not treated well,” Mahlangu said. She noted that when people ask about such questions, the medical workers say they simply need bigger hospitals.
When the train began in 1994, many people in South Africa still lived in rural villages with little availability to health centers. The time was a period of great change in South Africa. Today, the train assists the growing populations of the capital, Pretoria, as well as Johannesburg, the country’s economic center.
Shemona Kendiah, the train’s manager, said that the train could remain in one place for lots of days to see as many people as possible. Those going to major population centers — like Tembisa — can end up staying up to two weeks.
The patient, Jane Mabuza, got a full health examination as well as services for her teeth. She believes the train will be able to reach many more people in other areas. “Here on the train you never hear that anything has been finished,” Mabuza added.
8. What challenge do many South Africans face in getting healthcare?
A. Local health clinics refuse to treat them.
B. The country lacks medical professionals.
C. The Phelophepa train cannot reach rural areas.
D. Government insurance is not affordable for them.
9. Why does Mahlangu prefer the Phelophepa train to local clinics?
A. Local clinics have no proper medical facilities.
B. The train provides faster service than hospitals.
C. The train offers more specialized treatments.
D. Local clinic staff often reject patients.
10. How does the author stress the impact of the Phelophepa train?
A. Sharing fictional stories.
B. Listing some medical terms.
C. Using direct quotations from patients.
D. Comparing with other healthcare programs.
11. How does Jane Mabuza feel about the Phelophepa train?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Phelophepa医疗列车,它是一列改造自客运列车的流动医疗中心,旨在为南非偏远地区和医疗资源匮乏的人群提供医疗服务。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But government insurance plans are too costly for many people to pay for.(但政府保险计划的成本太高,许多人无法支付)”可知,政府保险费用高,导致许多人无法负担。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“She said local health clinics in her area — in Tembisa — cannot effectively serve her needs. ‘There we are not treated well,’ Mahlangu said. She noted that when people ask about such questions, the medical workers say they simply need bigger hospitals.( 她说,她所在地区坦比萨的当地诊所无法有效地满足她的需求。“在那里,我们没有得到很好的治疗。”Mahlangu说。她指出,当人们问这样的问题时,医务人员说他们只是需要更大的医院)”可推知,Mahlangu认为当地诊所无法满足需求,Phelophepa医疗列车可以提供更加专业的治疗。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Thethi we Mahlangu has used the health train and recently spoke to the media about her experiences.(Thethiwe Mahlangu使用了健康训练,最近向媒体讲述了她的经历)”以及最后一段“The patient, Jane Mabuza, got a full health examination as well as services for her teeth. She believes the train will be able to reach many more people in other areas. ‘Here on the train you never hear that anything has been finished,’ Mabuza added.(病人Jane Mabuza接受了全面的健康检查和牙齿护理。她相信这列火车将能够到达其他地区的更多人。“在火车上,你永远听不到任何事情已经完成。”Mabuza补充道)”可推知,文章通过直接引用患者的话语来增强真实性和说服力,强调Phelophepa医疗列车的影响力。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“She believes the train will be able to reach many more people in other areas.(她相信这列火车将能够抵达其他地区,为更多人提供服务。)”可知,Mabuza认为火车服务好,物资充足,并希望更多人受益,这表明她对Phelophepa列车充满希望。故选A。
D
What do you do as spring sets in? Taking off your warm winter coat, and putting it away? For humans, taking off winter coats is a one-minute task. As it turns out, not all animals are so capable.
Snowshoe rabbits live in the mountain ranges of North America, and have a pure white coat during the winter time to match the snowy surroundings and to help avoid being caught. And they take off winter coats for a darker brown fur color to match the dirt and leaves after the snow melts in the spring. Sounds like a great way to escape from their natural enemies, right? However, concern begins when scientists begin looking at how the warming climate will impact the rabbits.
There are more and more white rabbits in the middle of a brown habitat, where the snow has already melted away. This is a problem for them, as they are more easily seen by their natural enemies, giving them a “mismatch” problem. Snowshoe rabbits time the coat change in spring from white to brown based on the change in day length, not the temperature or the presence of snow in their habitat. Nowadays, the snow is melting a week on average before the change in day length signals the change in coat color, leaving the rabbits exposed to their natural enemies.
Some predictions put the rabbits in up to 8 weeks of a white coat in a brown, snowless habitat by the end of this century. This timeline could spell doom for their populations, as their natural enemies will have nearly 2 months of easily spotting them.
Fortunately, scientists have found areas with snowshoe rabbits in color from white to brown in the same place, meaning the timing of the coat change can be influenced by the environment. Snowshoe rabbits reproduce quickly, and if the color change timing is passed down then it is possible for rabbits to change coats accordingly. By protecting areas with variable ones, we can give snowshoe rabbits the opportunity to adapt to the changing climate.
12. Why does the author mention humans’ taking off winter coats?
A. To stress climate change is influential.
B. To imply animals should be taken care of.
C. To show bonds between man and animals.
D. To lead to the problem of snowshoe rabbits.
13. What has made scientists worry about snowshoe rabbits?
A. They fail to keep their white color.
B. They are active in freezing winter.
C. They can’t get rid of white fur when snow melts.
D. They are easily caught by hunters on snowy days.
14. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A. More rabbits will be killed.
B. Rabbits’ enemies are stronger.
C. The rabbit population will shoot.
D. The rabbits may die out in future.
15. Which of the following can best conclude the text?
A. Natural Selection B. Importance of Colors
C. Survival of the Fittest D. Timing of Coat Change
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍雪鞋兔因气候变暖面临毛色与环境不匹配的生存问题及应对希望。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For humans, taking off winter coats is a one-minute task. As it turns out, not all animals are so capable.(对人类来说,脱下冬衣是一分钟的任务。事实证明,并非所有动物都有这种能力。)”可知,作者通过人类脱冬衣的轻松,引出动物,尤其是雪鞋兔面临的换毛难题,从而自然过渡到文章主题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nowadays, the snow is melting a week on average before the change in day length signals the change in coat color, leaving the rabbits exposed to their natural enemies.(如今,平均来说,雪在日照时长变化预示换毛颜色之前一周就融化了,这让兔子暴露在天敌面前。)”可知,科学家担忧的是雪提前融化,而雪鞋兔仍依据日照时长换毛,导致它们在无雪环境中因白色毛发易被天敌发现。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Some predictions put the rabbits in up to 8 weeks of a white coat in a brown, snowless habitat by the end of this century. This timeline could spell doom for their populations, as their natural enemies will have nearly 2 months of easily spotting them.(一些预测指出,到本世纪末,雪鞋兔在棕色无雪的栖息地中可能会有长达8周的白色皮毛。这段时间可能会给它们的种群带来厄运,因为它们的天敌将有近两个月的时间很容易发现它们。)”可知,长时间毛色与环境不匹配会使雪鞋兔被天敌捕食的风险大幅增加,因此,画线句暗示“更多兔子将被猎杀”符合语境。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“Fortunately, scientists have found areas with snowshoe rabbits in color from white to brown in the same place, meaning the timing of the coat change can be influenced by the environment. Snowshoe rabbits reproduce quickly, and if the color change timing is passed down then it is possible for rabbits to change coats accordingly.( 幸运的是,科学家在某些地区发现了同一地点的雪鞋兔毛色从白色到棕色不等,这意味着换毛时机可以受到环境的影响。雪鞋兔繁殖迅速,如果这种控制换毛时间的特性能够遗传下去,那么它们就有可能根据环境变化相应地调整毛色。)”可知,文章围绕雪鞋兔因气候变暖面临毛色适应挑战,既提到其生存危机,也指出它们通过快速繁殖和环境适应可能延续种群,体现了“适者生存”的自然法则,所以“适者生存”最能概括全文核心。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了青年版《牡丹亭》在北京天桥演艺中心成功登上中国艺术之春舞台,并介绍了昆曲的艺术表现方式,及北京天桥演艺中心的宗旨。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:《牡丹亭》是世界文化瑰宝,由中国明代剧作家、作家汤显祖创作,他被比作威廉·莎士比亚。分析句意可知,此处表示泛指“一个”世界文化瑰宝,且cultural以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:昆曲,结合了苏州方言的歌曲,优美的肢体动作,武术和舞蹈,最初诞生于江苏昆山地区。分析句式结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作后置定语,又因为主语Kunqu Opera与combine之间是主动关系,所以用非谓语动词中的现在分词作后置定语。故填combining。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:同上。分析句式结构可知,此处用提示词的副词形式originally作状语修饰动词短语was born in。故填originally。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:2001年被联合国教科文组织列为人类口头和非物质文化遗产代表作之一。分析句意可知,work在本句中是可数名词,表示“作品”,再根据上文one of可知,one of后应该跟名词复数,故填works。
【40题详解】

【41题详解】
考查介词搭配。句意:它也对中国最近的所有戏剧形式产生了重大影响,比如京剧。根据空格前的impact可知,此处用介词on或upon与名词impact搭配表示“对……的影响”。故填on⁄upon。
【42题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:令组委会兴奋的是,《牡丹亭》自首次在北京演出以来,吸引了越来越多的年轻观众。分析句式结构可知,此处是主语从句,且从句中缺少主语,所以用what来引导,且位于句首的单词首字母要大写。故填What。
【43题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:同上。根据下文的since可知,本句时态可用现在完成时表示动作从过去持续到现在,或对现在有影响;还可以用现在完成进行时表示动作从过去某个时刻开始一直持续到现在,甚至将来;又因为从句的主语The Peony Pavilion是第三人称单数,所以助动词用has。故填has attracted⁄has been attracting。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:迄今为止,北京天桥演艺中心以重视中国传统文化艺术的传承、推广、发展和普及为宗旨,还举办了许多与传统戏剧有关的展览,并设立了京剧传承班,让传统艺术深入儿童。分析句式结构可知,此处是定语从句,且先行词Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center和aim之间是所属关系,所以空格处用关系代词whose作定语。故填whose。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。分析句式结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作状语,再分析句意可知,此处表示设立京剧传统班目的是为了让传统艺术深入儿童,所以用此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to make。

【答案】Dear Chris,
Last Friday, our class organized an event named “Reading A Book Together”, which was fueled by a shared passion for literature and a desire to connect with our classmates.
To spark our interest in reading original English books, we chose the attractive novel Pride and Prejudice. After two weeks of reading, we all engaged in discussion, where some shared their favorite characters and plots, while others conducted in-depth explorations of the significance and its relevance to us. What impressed me most was not only my growing fluency in reading native English works but also how my classmates offered unique perspectives on interpreting the story, making it a thought-provoking experience.
I know you’ve read the book too. What do you think of it? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved (寡言少语的) nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated (复杂的) city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
Emma and I started rehearsing (彩排) almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and would not be in. I was completely knocked out by the news, feeling so helpless. It was impossible for me to stand on stage and sing by myself. “Sorry friend, you might have to go on stage by yourself,” Emma said, “But you certainly can do it your own. All you need to do is to be confident. I believe you can make it!” Hearing that, I determined to accomplish this performance perfectly, and I kept practicing hard on it the rest of the day.
注 意:
1. 续写词数应为100左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally came the big moment.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Finally came the big moment. I took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The spotlight shone brightly on me, and the audience’s eyes were fixed on me. My heart was pounding so hard that I could almost hear it. As I looked out at the sea of faces, a sudden wave of self-doubt tried to wash over me. But then I remembered Emma’s words and the countless hours we had spent rehearsing. I started to sing, and slowly, my nervousness faded away. As the beautiful melody filled the air, I saw smiles on the faces of the audience. When I finished, the whole hall burst into thunderous applause. I had done it!

Here are some enjoyable UK races to choose from this month.
Winter Sugar Loaf
Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, 2 November
This fell race north of Abergavenny costs just £9 to enter, but don’t wait too long if you want to join — only 125 runners can take part. You’ll be following a largely unmarked path to the top of the Sugar Loaf and since the weather may be terrible, full equipment is required. It may be only 9.6 km in length, but there are some seriously steep (陡的) bits on this tough race.
fellrace.com
Wendover Woods 50
Wendover, Buckinghamshire, 9 November
There are nine aid stations with lots of snacks, so you’ll always have food nearby. You’ll need them for this 50-mile race. The hills never end and by the time you reach the finish, you’ll have climbed some 3,000 m. But the paths are pretty well built.
centurionrunning.com
Conwy Half Marathon
Conwy, Caernarfonshire, 17 November
This race heads north out of Conwy towards Llandudno and that big rock sticking out into the sea-hat’s Great Orme, and you’re running around it rather than up it. But the path around it still includes some punishing climbs. It’s just one of many beautiful sites along the way.
rumwales.com
Tadcaster 10
Tadcaster, Yorkshire, 23 November
The path is a straightforward loop on closed roads that are mostly flat. With the first and last few kilometres in the town of Tadcaster, you’ll get a nice mix of support from locals and quiet time in the countryside.
racebest.com
1. What do we know about Winter Sugar Loaf?
A. It is totally free to everyone. B. It limits the number of runners.
C. It will be held in mid-November. D. It largely offers clearly marked paths.
2. Which of the following events provides plenty of snacks along the way?

At 30, Li Yangyang never imagined that her degree in international business would lead to a career in ancient book restoration.
In 2017, after graduating from college, Li was exploring different job opportunities. One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job.
Restoring ancient books is more difficult than it looks. A typical project has more than 20 steps, such as taking photos for records, preparing paper, taking apart books, cleaning, binding (装订) and more. Depending on the damage, Li may restore 30 pages a day — or just one or two.
“Book bricks” is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. Aesthetics (美学) are also important. Restoration isn’t just about “fixing” the book. The page margins (页边距) and backing paper color must match the original.
Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. “Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,” she said. “Over-restoration can be more damaging than leaving the book untouched.” She also warns against working while upset. She once nearly damaged a book out of frustration.
With China placing more value on cultural heritage, ancient book restoration is now growing fast. In October 2024, Li opened her own studio and now accepts orders from both groups and individuals. Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu andDouyin to promote this work. “I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,” Li said.
4. What initially inspired Li to pursue ancient book restoration?
A. Her passion for cultural heritage protection.
B Her determination to challenge herself.
C. Her desire to apply her college major.
D Her curiosity about the job posting.
5. According to the article, what is a major challenge in restoring “book bricks”?
A. Matching the original paper color.
B. Safely separating stuck-together pages.
C. Using historical binding techniques correctly.
D. Drying the damp paper naturally and slowly.
6. What key advice does Li give to new restorers?
A. Evaluate their restoration ability before starting.
B. Take on diverse projects to build skills quickly.
C. Continue working even while in a bad mood.
D. Always ask experienced restorers for help.
7. Why does Li share restoration videos on social media?
A. To bring ancient books into everyday life.
B. To teach the public basic restoration skills.
C. To promote her studio’s restoration services.
D. To show the challenges of restoration work.

In South Africa, a former passenger train now serves as a travelling medical center to provide health services to people in need.
The train is known as Phelophepa, which means “good, clean, health”. It travels across South Africa to provide medical care to a mix of patients for whom usual health care is unavailable (难以获得的) or rare. The train has been operating since the early 1990s. The train carries medical professionals around the country, even to the most rural villages. Officials say the service helps at least 375,000 South Africans each year.
The care patients receive is different from the government’s main public health care system. That system serves an estimated 84 percent of the population. But government insurance plans are too costly for many people to pay for.
Thethi we Mahlangu has used the health train and recently spoke to the media about her experiences. She said local health clinics in her area — in Tembisa — cannot effectively serve her needs. “There we are not treated well,” Mahlangu said. She noted that when people ask about such questions, the medical workers say they simply need bigger hospitals.
When the train began in 1994, many people in South Africa still lived in rural villages with little availability to health centers. The time was a period of great change in South Africa. Today, the train assists the growing populations of the capital, Pretoria, as well as Johannesburg, the country’s economic center.
Shemona Kendiah, the train’s manager, said that the train could remain in one place for lots of days to see as many people as possible. Those going to major population centers — like Tembisa — can end up staying up to two weeks.
The patient, Jane Mabuza, got a full health examination as well as services for her teeth. She believes the train will be able to reach many more people in other areas. “Here on the train you never hear that anything has been finished,” Mabuza added.
8. What challenge do many South Africans face in getting healthcare?
A. Local health clinics refuse to treat them.
B. The country lacks medical professionals.
C. The Phelophepa train cannot reach rural areas.
D. Government insurance is not affordable for them.
9. Why does Mahlangu prefer the Phelophepa train to local clinics?
A. Local clinics have no proper medical facilities.
B. The train provides faster service than hospitals.
C. The train offers more specialized treatments.
D. Local clinic staff often reject patients.
10. How does the author stress the impact of the Phelophepa train?
A. Sharing fictional stories.
B. Listing some medical terms.
C. Using direct quotations from patients.
D. Comparing with other healthcare programs.
11. How does Jane Mabuza feel about the Phelophepa train?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.

What do you do as spring sets in? Taking off your warm winter coat, and putting it away? For humans, taking off winter coats is a one-minute task. As it turns out, not all animals are so capable.
Snowshoe rabbits live in the mountain ranges of North America, and have a pure white coat during the winter time to match the snowy surroundings and to help avoid being caught. And they take off winter coats for a darker brown fur color to match the dirt and leaves after the snow melts in the spring. Sounds like a great way to escape from their natural enemies, right? However, concern begins when scientists begin looking at how the warming climate will impact the rabbits.
There are more and more white rabbits in the middle of a brown habitat, where the snow has already melted away. This is a problem for them, as they are more easily seen by their natural enemies, giving them a “mismatch” problem. Snowshoe rabbits time the coat change in spring from white to brown based on the change in day length, not the temperature or the presence of snow in their habitat. Nowadays, the snow is melting a week on average before the change in day length signals the change in coat color, leaving the rabbits exposed to their natural enemies.
Some predictions put the rabbits in up to 8 weeks of a white coat in a brown, snowless habitat by the end of this century. This timeline could spell doom for their populations, as their natural enemies will have nearly 2 months of easily spotting them.
Fortunately, scientists have found areas with snowshoe rabbits in color from white to brown in the same place, meaning the timing of the coat change can be influenced by the environment. Snowshoe rabbits reproduce quickly, and if the color change timing is passed down then it is possible for rabbits to change coats accordingly. By protecting areas with variable ones, we can give snowshoe rabbits the opportunity to adapt to the changing climate.
12. Why does the author mention humans’ taking off winter coats?
A. To stress climate change is influential.
B. To imply animals should be taken care of.
C. To show bonds between man and animals.
D. To lead to the problem of snowshoe rabbits.
13. What has made scientists worry about snowshoe rabbits?
A. They fail to keep their white color.
B. They are active in freezing winter.
C. They can’t get rid of white fur when snow melts.
D. They are easily caught by hunters on snowy days.
14. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A. More rabbits will be killed.
B. Rabbits’ enemies are stronger.
C. The rabbit population will shoot.
D. The rabbits may die out in future.
15. Which of the following can best conclude the text?
A. Natural Selection B. Importance of Colors
C. Survival of the Fittest D. Timing of Coat Change

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved (寡言少语的) nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated (复杂的) city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
Emma and I started rehearsing (彩排) almost every single day after school. We brainstormed exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and would not be in. I was completely knocked out by the news, feeling so helpless. It was impossible for me to stand on stage and sing by myself. “Sorry friend, you might have to go on stage by yourself,” Emma said, “But you certainly can do it your own. All you need to do is to be confident. I believe you can make it!” Hearing that, I determined to accomplish this performance perfectly, and I kept practicing hard on it the rest of the day.
注 意:
1. 续写词数应为100左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally came the big moment.
