Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body. There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury. Endurance Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness. Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier. Strength If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as “resistance training”, are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduce your risk of weak bones. Flexibility Flexibility exercises help stretch your body’s muscles. This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture, ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress. Balance Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults, helping them stay independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground. Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance. 1. How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine? A. By combining different exercise types together. B. By having enough rest between their workouts. C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time. D. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually. 2. Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person’s breathing function? A. Strength and Balance. B. Flexibility and Balance. C. Endurance and Strength. D. Endurance and Flexibility. 3. Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises? A. Arms. B. Legs. C. Waist. D. Neck. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了四大运动类别。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.（许多人通常只关注一种运动类型，但将所有四种运动都包括在锻炼中会产生更好的效果，并降低受伤的风险。）”可知，将不同类型的运动一起练才能收益最大。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题Endurance段中的“Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. （耐力训练可以增加你的呼吸和心率。）”以及小标题Flexibility段中“ This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture, ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. （这可以让其他运动更加自由，也可以改善你的运动范围、姿势、深呼吸能力和血流。）”可知，耐力和灵活性锻炼对改善人的呼吸功能最有用。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground. Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.（大多数好的平衡练习都是让你脚踩在地上不断运动的。脚跟到脚趾的步行和单脚站立是改善平衡的简单方法。）”可知腿在与平衡相关的练习中起着最重要的作用。故选B项。 B Each spring, millions of people take photos among the famous cherry trees around the Tidal Basin in Washington DC-some even get married there. That’s what Jody Axinn did 10 years ago. “Now, the romantic spot is unrecognizable. The whole section is under water,” says Axinn who is revisiting the cherry trees with her family. “When I got here 10 years ago, the place was flooded regularly, but certainly not twice a day, every day.” There are two forces working together to affect the Tidal Basin, the trees and monuments around it. The seawall around the basin, built with mud dug up from the Potomac River bottom, has sunk about five feet over the past century. “At the same time, the water level in the basin has gone up by more than a foot because of climate change,” explains Leslie Frattaroli, manager of the National Park Service (NPS). “The Tidal Basin looks like a small lake, but it’s actually part of the Potomac River, because there are gates at the upstream and downstream ends of the basin that allow river water to rush through. Therefore, it is gradually rising along with the level of the world’s oceans.” Combining these two factors, the water is six feet above where the seawall was originally designed to keep it out. Later this spring, the park service will start to raise parts of the walkway around the basin and along the Potomac River. “It would be impossible to complete the $113 million project without removing the cherry trees along the water,” Leslie says. “The good news is that when the project is completed in 2027, 274 new cherry trees will be planted.” Among the trees to be removed is a very famous little tree known as “Stumpy”. At high tide (潮汐), the base of the tree is flooded. Although it is in extremely bad conditions, its remaining three or four small branches burst into flower each spring, with the Washington Monument standing tall in the background. 4. What can be learned from Jody Axinn’s words? A. The famous cherry trees should be protected. B. The flooding around the basin is more serious. C. Getting married at the Tidal Basin is unpopular. D. Washington DC has changed beyond recognition. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The sinking seawalls. B. The rising sea level. C. The beautiful scenery. D. The warming climate. 6. The Tidal Basin is ________. A. too small to hold the water B. a small inland lake C. at the downstream end of a river D. connected with the oceans 7. Why will Stumpy be removed? A. It is not in harmony with the scenery. B. It is in very bad conditions. C. It happens to be in the reconstruction area. D. It is attracting too much attention. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。由于防洪堤改造工程的需要，Tidal Basin周围的一百多棵樱花树将被移除。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““Now, the romantic spot is unrecognizable. The whole section is under water,” says Axinn who is revisiting the cherry trees with her family. “When I got here 10 years ago, the place was flooded regularly, but certainly not twice a day, every day.”(“现在，浪漫的地方已经面目全非了。整个区域都被水淹没了，”Axinn说，她和家人正在重新参观樱花树。“我10年前来这里的时候，这个地方经常被淹，但肯定不是一天两次，是每天。”)”可推断，Tidal Basin周边的漫堤问题越来越严重。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“There are two forces working together to affect the Tidal Basin, the trees and monuments around it. The seawall around the basin, built with mud dug up from the Potomac River bottom, has sunk about five feet over the past century.(有两种力量共同影响潮汐盆地，周围的树木和纪念碑。该盆地周围的海堤是用从波托马克河底部挖出的泥浆建造的，在过去的一个世纪里，它已经下沉了大约5英尺)”可知，本段主要是讲防洪海堤下沉。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The Tidal Basin looks like a small lake, but it’s actually part of the Potomac River, because there are gates at the upstream and downstream ends of the basin that allow river water to rush through. Therefore, it is gradually rising along with the level of the world’s oceans.(潮汐盆地看起来像一个小湖，但它实际上是波托马克河的一部分，因为在盆地的上游和下游两端都有闸门，让河水通过。因此，它随着世界海洋的水平逐渐上升)”可知，Tidal Basin是和海洋连通的。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Later this spring, the park service will start to raise parts of the walkway around the basin and along the Potomac River.(今年春天晚些时候，公园管理局将开始在盆地周围和波托马克河沿岸修建部分人行道)”及倒数第二段““It would be impossible to complete the $113 million project without removing the cherry trees along the water,” Leslie says.(莱斯利说:“如果不移除水边的樱花树，就不可能完成这个1.13亿美元的项目。”)”及最后一段“Among the trees to be removed is a very famous little tree known as “Stumpy”.(在要移走的树木中有一棵非常有名的小树，叫做“矮胖子”)”可知，移除“矮胖子”是为了重新修建该地区，而这棵树正好在重建区域。故选C。 C “Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, if an alien examines it through a telescope, he would note that two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water. However, most of the oceans on Earth remain unexplored. For example, photographers are fond of pointing out that scientists have mapped nearly all the oceans’ surface, but less than a quarter of the seabed. Biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of animals, of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth. A new project may change this. Launched in London on April 27th, 2023, Ocean Census aims to discover 100,000 new species of ocean animals over the coming decade. Its first ship, Kronprins Haakon, set sail on April 29 for the Barents Sea. The project is launched for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to study. “Top on our agenda are species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change,” says Oliver Steeds, founder of the project. “Otherwise, the forest is burning down and we won’t know what was there before it is lost.” The second reason is technological. Biologists find about 2,000 new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day. Ocean Census is betting that it can go faster. Fancy cameras on remote-operated vehicles, for instance, allow scientists to scan deep-sea creatures such as jellyfish without removing them from their habitat. Just as the huge pressures of the deep sea are deadly for humans, taking such a jellyfish to the surface for examination may reduce it to gooey slime (黏液). Exactly what the new effort might turn up, of course, is impossible to predict. But history suggests it will be fruitful. Half a century ago, scientists discovered hot seabeds that were home to organisms living happily in conditions that, until then, had been thought harmful to life. These days, such hot seabeds are thought to be one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth. 8. What phenomenon is described in the second paragraph? A. The oceans are home to most of the animals. B. The oceans have not been studied in depth. C. Scientists enjoy photographing the oceans. D. “Earth” is not a proper name for our planet. 9. What does Oliver Steeds most probably mean? A. More efforts from scientists are necessary. B. Animals in the forest should be rescued, too. C. Climate change is endangering the forest. D. The project should start with threatened species. 10. What can we learn from the jellyfish example in paragraph 5? A. It is mature to study the oceans now. B. Scientists should slow down their studies. C. It is harmful to study deep-sea animals. D. Researchers want more advanced equipment. 11. What does the author think of Ocean Census? A. Dangerous. B. Creative. C. Promising. D. Unnecessary. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了正在实施的海洋研究项目“海洋普查”的必要性及有利条件。 8题详解】 细节理解题。通过阅读文章第二段内容以及关键句“but less than a quarter of the seabed(但不到海床的四分之一)”，“of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth(到目前为止，他们只确定了其中的十分之一)”可知，这些论述证明了该段首句“However, most of the oceans on Earth remain unexplored.(然而，地球上的大部分海洋仍未被探索过。)”描述的这一现象，即，科学家们对海洋的研究还很浅显。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段Oliver Steeds的话“‘Top on our agenda are species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change,’ says Oliver Steeds, founder of the project.(“我们的首要任务是那些被认为受到气候变化威胁最大的物种，”该项目创始人Oliver Steeds说。)”可知，受到气候变化威胁最大的物种作为该项目的首要任务，由此推知，他想表达的是这个项目应该会从濒危物种开始。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读“Fancy cameras on remote-operated vehicles, for instance, allow scientists to scan deep-sea creatures such as jellyfish without removing them from their habitat.(例如，远程操作的交通工具上的高级摄像机使科学家能够扫描水母等深海生物，而无需将它们从栖息地移走。)”可知，无需将水母从栖息地移走，而是通过高级摄像机扫描就能够对其研究，同时结合前后文语境可知，这个举例是为了证明该段首句“The second reason is technological. Ocean Census is betting that it can go faster.( 第二个原因是技术。海洋普查项目打赌技术可以（使海洋科研）更深入。)”的论述。由此推知，从“水母举例”可以了解到海洋研究的技术已经比较成熟。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Exactly what the new effort might turn up, of course, is impossible to predict. But history suggests it will be fruitful.(当然，新的努力究竟会带来什么结果是无法预测的。但历史表明，这将是富有成效的。)”可推断，作者认为这个项目会带来积极的成果。故选C项。 D Has it ever struck you as interesting the amount of dinosaur products that are marketed to boys and unicorn (独角兽) products to girls? I recently visited the wonderful Horniman Museum in London, only to discover that it had been taken over by something called Dinosaur Evolution. Other places, such as a zoo, a theatre, and a park, were also themed around dinosaurs. Parents will have noticed that unicorns are also everywhere, and marketed exclusively (专门地) and equally extensively to little girls, usually dressed in pink. I know children who can list 10 different types of dinosaurs but don’t know the difference between an African elephant and an Indian elephant. I know children who believe unicorns are real, but don’t realize that as many as 1,500 ponies (小马) live wild on Dartmoor. How many of our children are going to want to grow up to be naturalists or environmentalists if they aren’t taught about real animals? If you want to introduce our tiny humans to animals, please buy them a book about brown kiwi, ring-tailed lemurs, crested porcupines or hippopotamuses. Across Europe, brown bears are being successfully reintroduced. What an exciting piece of news to attract a child’s interest. And it doesn’t have to be bears. There are other great stories about British wildlife to tell: some naturalists, for example, hope to see the reintroduction of the beautiful grey wolf to our shores. There is a role available, in the future, for the first person to successfully reintroduce a pair of wolves to Britain, as has been done across Europe. Maybe that child is alive now. I’m begging those of you who are looking after the next generation: put a picture of a dolphin or a penguin on the wall. If you want to take care of the environmentalists of tomorrow, please choose any book, lunchbox, T-shirt or “experience” that is not about dinosaurs or unicorns. 12. What did the author find at the Horniman Museum in London? A. An exhibition about African elephants. B. A takeover by a dinosaur-themed event. C. A display of wild ponies from Dartmoor. D. A new collection of unicorn paintings. 13. According to the author, what is a common issue among children today? A. They live in a virtual world. B. They don’t want to be naturalists. C. They are too crazy about dinosaurs. D. They know little about real wildlife. 14. What can be inferred about the “grey wolf reintroduction” mentioned in the text? A. It aims to restore natural ecosystems. B. It has already been completed in Britain. C. It is opposed by most European naturalists. D. It is less important than protecting brown bears. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce real animals to children. B. To compare dinosaur and unicorn products. C. To criticize the marketing of dinosaur products. D. To urge adults to teach kids about real wildlife. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要批评儿童产品过度营销恐龙和独角兽形象，呼吁成人引导孩子关注真实野生动物。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I recently visited the wonderful Horniman Museum in London, only to discover that it had been taken over by something called Dinosaur Evolution.(我最近参观了伦敦奇妙的霍尼曼博物馆，却发现它已经被一个名为“恐龙进化”的展览占据了。)”可知，作者在博物馆看到恐龙主题活动主导的场景。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I know children who can list 10 different types of dinosaurs but don’t know the difference between an African elephant and an Indian elephant. I know children who believe unicorns are real, but don’t realize that as many as 1,500 ponies live wild on Dartmoor.(我认识一些孩子，他们能列出10种不同的恐龙，但不知道非洲象和印度象的区别。我认识一些孩子，他们相信独角兽是真实存在的，却不知道达特穆尔有多达1500匹野生小马。)”可知，作者指出当今儿童对真实野生动物认知匮乏。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Across Europe, brown bears are being successfully reintroduced. What an exciting piece of news to attract a child’s interest. And it doesn’t have to be bears. There are other great stories about British wildlife to tell: some naturalists, for example, hope to see the reintroduction of the beautiful grey wolf to our shores. (在整个欧洲，棕熊正被成功重新引入栖息地。这是多么令人兴奋的消息，足以吸引孩子们的兴趣。当然，不止是熊，还有许多关于英国野生动物的精彩故事值得讲述：例如，一些博物学家希望看到美丽的灰狼重新回到我们的土地上。)”可知，重新引入灰狼与棕熊一样，属于恢复自然生态系统的举措。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中的“I’m begging those of you who are looking after the next generation: put a picture of a dolphin or a penguin on the wall. If you want to take care of the environmentalists of tomorrow, please choose any book, lunchbox, T-shirt or “experience” that is not about dinosaurs or unicorns. (我恳请那些正在照顾下一代的人们：在墙上挂一幅海豚或企鹅的图片吧。如果你想培养未来的环保主义者，请选择任何不是关于恐龙或独角兽的书籍、午餐盒、T 恤或“体验”。)”可知，文章开篇指出市场上有大量恐龙产品推销给男孩，独角兽产品推销给女孩，接着通过孩子们对真实动物了解匮乏的例子，呼吁人们给孩子们介绍真实的动物，由此可知，文章主旨是敦促成年人教孩子们认识真实的野生动物。故选D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。 Nowadays, AI software is really good at producing images, videos and texts. ____16____. So you need to learn how to sort facts from AI-created fictions. ____17____. The current wave of AI-generated images isn’t perfect, especially when it comes to describing people. AI software still struggles with creating realistic hands, teeth and accessories like glasses and jewelry. If the image includes multiple people, the problem will be more obvious. AI-generated videos usually have more noticeable irregularities. For example, there may be mismatches between sound and motion of the mouth. ____18____. Use S-F-I to assess what you’re looking at. Instead of trying to examine images one by one, experts recommend using the tried-and-true method called S-F-I. ____19____: Slow down; Find related coverage; Investigate the authenticity (真实性) of the original sources. First, you have to slow down and consider what you’re looking at-especially pictures, posts or claims that appeal to your emotions. ____20____. If it’s an image or video of an event-say a politician speaking-ask yourself, “Are there other photos from the same event?” Finally, make sure the original sources are reliable and trustworthy. A. The three letters stand for three steps B. Many of them may be seemingly realistic C. But it doesn’t mean that they are true or accurate D. Pay attention to the appearances of the people in the image E. The next step is to look for other coverage of the same event F. AI software does not learn, think, or create in the ways we do G. In addition, they often lack body movements that real people make when they talk 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个识别AI生成的文本，图片及声像的方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Nowadays, AI software is really good at producing images, videos and texts.(如今，人工智能软件非常擅长制作图像、视频和文本)”以及后文“So you need to learn how to sort facts from AI-created fictions.(所以你需要学习如何从人工智能创造的小说中分类事实)”可知，空前谈到AI软件非常擅长生成图文声像，空后则提醒受众注意区分真假，所以C项“But it doesn’t mean that they are true or accurate(但这并不意味着它们是真实的或准确的)”正好起到了过渡作用，符合文意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“The current wave of AI-generated images isn’t perfect, especially when it comes to describing people. AI software still struggles with creating realistic hands, teeth and accessories like glasses and jewelry. If the image includes multiple people, the problem will be more obvious.(目前人工智能生成的图像并不完美，尤其是在描述人的时候。人工智能软件仍在努力创造逼真的手、牙齿以及眼镜和珠宝等配饰。如果图像包含多个人物，问题将更加明显)”可知，本段主要讲述如何依靠图片中人物的外表及穿着破绽识别出AI生成的图片，所以D项“Pay attention to the appearances of the people in the image(注意图片中人物的外表)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“AI-generated videos usually have more noticeable irregularities. For example, there may be mismatches between sound and motion of the mouth.(人工智能生成的视频通常有更明显的不规则性。例如，声音和嘴巴的动作可能不匹配)”可知，本段主要讲述人工智能生成的视频通常有更明显的不规则性，所以G项“In addition, they often lack body movements that real people make when they talk(此外，他们经常缺乏真人说话时的肢体动作)”是不规则性的另一个例子，符合本段主题。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Use S-F-I to assess what you’re looking at. Instead of trying to examine images one by one, experts recommend using the tried-and-true method called S-F-I.(用S-F-I来评估你所看到的东西。专家们建议使用一种被称为S-F-I的可靠方法，而不是试图逐一检查图像)”以及后文“Slow down; Find related coverage; Investigate the authenticity (真实性) of the original sources.(慢下来；寻找相关报道；调查原始资料的真实性)”可知，A项“The three letters stand for three steps(三个字母代表三个步骤)”承接上文，而下文这是对此句的详细说明。故选A项。 【20题详解】 这一段是在进一步说明上面提到的三个步骤。根据空前的“First, you have to slow down and consider what you’re looking at-especially pictures, posts or claims that appeal to your emotions.(首先，你必须慢下来，考虑一下你在看什么——尤其是那些能吸引你情绪的图片、帖子或声明)”以及空后的“Finally, make sure the original sources are reliable and trustworthy.(最后，确保原始来源是可靠和值得信赖的)”可知，E项“The next step is to look for other coverage of the same event(下一步是寻找同一事件的其他报道)”和前后文构成先后顺序。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year, I decided to explore Antarctica alone.

An elderly man, his white walking stick tapping nervously, stumbled (绊倒) awkwardly. He had tripped where the yellow tactile (触觉的) paving — the special path for the blind — disappeared under a parked delivery truck! His walking stick missed the curb edge entirely. Lily’s heart jumped. “Careful!” she cried, rushing forward just as he started to fall. She grabbed his arm firmly, steadying him. “Oh! Thank you, young lady,” the man breathed, his voice shaky. “The path… it disappeared suddenly. So confusing.” Lily felt a wave of sadness. “It’s okay,” she said gently. “Where are you going? I’ll help you get there safely.” Holding his arm, she carefully guided Mr. Evans (as he introduced himself) past the truck, around several bikes chained to a lamppost right on the path, and over a pile of rubbish bags blocking the way. Each barrier made Lily angrier. How could people be so thoughtless? After safely delivering Mr. Evans to his apartment building ten minutes away, Lily walked back slowly. This time, she really looked. Her eyes scanned the familiar streets with new understanding. The yellow paths meant to guide people who couldn’t see were constantly occupied: scooters (踏板车) leaned casually, café tables and chairs spread across them, cars parked with wheels crushing the vital ridges. It wasn’t just one truck; it was everywhere! Worry knotted her stomach. Mr. Evans could have been seriously hurt. How many others faced this danger every single day? Someone needed to make people see the problem, to make them care. But how? Suddenly, an idea came into Lily’s mind like a bright firework! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I can paint on the yellow tactile paving to draw more attention!” Lily thought. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With so many people painting together, the dull, ignored paths took on a new look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “I can paint on the yellow tactile paving to draw more attention!” Lily thought. She rushed home, grabbed her acrylic paints and stencils, and returned to the disrupted path. With careful strokes, she outlined bright red arrows around the obstacles and painted bold yellow stripes to reconnect the broken tactile paving. A café owner, curious, brought her a ladder to reach higher spots. Soon, a delivery rider paused to help mix colors, while a group of schoolkids stenciled “BLIND PATH — KEEP CLEAR!” in giant blue letters. With so many people painting together, the dull, ignored paths took on a new look. The next morning, Mr. Evans tapped his cane along the repainted route — no longer hesitating at missing ridges. At the crosswalk, a newly added braille plaque read: “Safe path ahead. Thank you, Lily & friends.” Neighbors now moved bikes and trash bins without being asked. Lily watched in joy as a young mother knelt to explain the paintings to her child: “These colors help people who can’t see walk safely.” The streets hadn’t just changed visually — they’d learned to care. 【解析】 【导语】本文以盲道改造为线索展开，讲述了Lily发现盲人Evans先生因被占用的盲道绊倒，决心解决问题。她用彩漆在盲道上绘制醒目标记和警示语，吸引路人加入。改造后的盲道变得清晰安全，Evans先生得以安全行走，社区也开始主动维护。通过这次行动，Lily不仅修复了道路，更唤醒了人们对视障群体需求的关注。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我可以在黄色的触觉路面上画画，以吸引更多的注意力！’Lily想”可知，第一段可描写Lily拿来绘画工具改造路面，并吸引路人一起加入改造。 ②由第二段首句内容“有这么多人一起画画，那些沉闷、被忽视的小路呈现出了新的面貌”可知，第二段可描写Evans先生能够在盲道上安全行走，路人们也开始主动维护盲道的通行，社区的人们开始懂得关注视障群体需求。 2. 续写线索：Lily想到主意——Lily画画改造——路人被吸引加入——小路呈现新面貌——Evans先生安全行走——社区积极转变 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲，奔：rush/run/dash ②抓住：grab/clutch/grasp ③返回：return/go back ④解释：explain/clarify 情绪类 ①好奇的：curious/inquisitive ②开心：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lily watched in joy as a young mother knelt to explain the paintings to her child: “These colors help people who can’t see walk safely.”  (as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] These colors help people who can’t see walk safely.

Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body. There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury. Endurance Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness. Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier. Strength If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as “resistance training”, are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduce your risk of weak bones. Flexibility Flexibility exercises help stretch your body’s muscles. This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture, ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress. Balance Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults, helping them stay independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground. Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance. 1. How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine? A. By combining different exercise types together. B. By having enough rest between their workouts. C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time. D. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually. 2. Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person’s breathing function? A. Strength and Balance. B. Flexibility and Balance. C. Endurance and Strength. D. Endurance and Flexibility. 3. Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises? A. Arms. B. Legs. C. Waist. D. Neck. B Each spring, millions of people take photos among the famous cherry trees around the Tidal Basin in Washington DC-some even get married there. That’s what Jody Axinn did 10 years ago. “Now, the romantic spot is unrecognizable. The whole section is under water,” says Axinn who is revisiting the cherry trees with her family. “When I got here 10 years ago, the place was flooded regularly, but certainly not twice a day, every day.” There are two forces working together to affect the Tidal Basin, the trees and monuments around it. The seawall around the basin, built with mud dug up from the Potomac River bottom, has sunk about five feet over the past century. “At the same time, the water level in the basin has gone up by more than a foot because of climate change,” explains Leslie Frattaroli, manager of the National Park Service (NPS). “The Tidal Basin looks like a small lake, but it’s actually part of the Potomac River, because there are gates at the upstream and downstream ends of the basin that allow river water to rush through. Therefore, it is gradually rising along with the level of the world’s oceans.” Combining these two factors, the water is six feet above where the seawall was originally designed to keep it out. Later this spring, the park service will start to raise parts of the walkway around the basin and along the Potomac River. “It would be impossible to complete the $113 million project without removing the cherry trees along the water,” Leslie says. “The good news is that when the project is completed in 2027, 274 new cherry trees will be planted.” Among the trees to be removed is a very famous little tree known as “Stumpy”. At high tide (潮汐), the base of the tree is flooded. Although it is in extremely bad conditions, its remaining three or four small branches burst into flower each spring, with the Washington Monument standing tall in the background. 4. What can be learned from Jody Axinn’s words? A. The famous cherry trees should be protected. B. The flooding around the basin is more serious. C. Getting married at the Tidal Basin is unpopular. D. Washington DC has changed beyond recognition. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The sinking seawalls. B. The rising sea level. C. The beautiful scenery. D. The warming climate. 6. The Tidal Basin is ________. A. too small to hold the water B. a small inland lake C. at the downstream end of a river D. connected with the oceans 7. Why will Stumpy be removed? A. It is not in harmony with the scenery. B. It is in very bad conditions. C. It happens to be in the reconstruction area. D. It is attracting too much attention. C “Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, if an alien examines it through a telescope, he would note that two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water. However most of the oceans on Earth remain unexplored. For example, photographers are fond of pointing out that scientists have mapped nearly all the oceans’ surface, but less than a quarter of the seabed. Biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of animals, of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth. A new project may change this. Launched in London on April 27th, 2023, Ocean Census aims to discover 100,000 new species of ocean animals over the coming decade. Its first ship, Kronprins Haakon, set sail on April 29 for the Barents Sea. The project is launched for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to study. “Top on our agenda are species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change,” says Oliver Steeds, founder of the project. “Otherwise, the forest is burning down and we won’t know what was there before it is lost.” The second reason is technological. Biologists find about 2,000 new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day. Ocean Census is betting that it can go faster. Fancy cameras on remote-operated vehicles, for instance, allow scientists to scan deep-sea creatures such as jellyfish without removing them from their habitat. Just as the huge pressures of the deep sea are deadly for humans, taking such a jellyfish to the surface for examination may reduce it to gooey slime (黏液). Exactly what the new effort might turn up, of course, is impossible to predict. But history suggests it will be fruitful. Half a century ago, scientists discovered hot seabeds that were home to organisms living happily in conditions that, until then, had been thought harmful to life. These days, such hot seabeds are thought to be one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth. 8. What phenomenon is described in the second paragraph? A. The oceans are home to most of the animals. B. The oceans have not been studied in depth. C. Scientists enjoy photographing the oceans. D. “Earth” is not a proper name for our planet. 9. What does Oliver Steeds most probably mean? A. More efforts from scientists are necessary. B. Animals in the forest should be rescued, too. C. Climate change is endangering the forest. D. The project should start with threatened species. 10. What can we learn from the jellyfish example in paragraph 5? A. It is mature to study the oceans now. B. Scientists should slow down their studies. C. It is harmful to study deep-sea animals. D. Researchers want more advanced equipment. 11. What does the author think of Ocean Census? A. Dangerous. B. Creative. C. Promising. D. Unnecessary. D Has it ever struck you as interesting the amount of dinosaur products that are marketed to boys and unicorn (独角兽) products to girls? I recently visited the wonderful Horniman Museum in London, only to discover that it had been taken over by something called Dinosaur Evolution. Other places, such as a zoo, a theatre, and a park, were also themed around dinosaurs. Parents will have noticed that unicorns are also everywhere, and marketed exclusively (专门地) and equally extensively to little girls, usually dressed in pink. I know children who can list 10 different types of dinosaurs but don’t know the difference between an African elephant and an Indian elephant. I know children who believe unicorns are real, but don’t realize that as many as 1,500 ponies (小马) live wild on Dartmoor. How many of our children are going to want to grow up to be naturalists or environmentalists if they aren’t taught about real animals? If you want to introduce our tiny humans to animals, please buy them a book about brown kiwi, ring-tailed lemurs, crested porcupines or hippopotamuses. Across Europe, brown bears are being successfully reintroduced. What an exciting piece of news to attract a child’s interest. And it doesn’t have to be bears. There are other great stories about British wildlife to tell: some naturalists, for example, hope to see the reintroduction of the beautiful grey wolf to our shores. There is a role available, in the future, for the first person to successfully reintroduce a pair of wolves to Britain, as has been done across Europe. Maybe that child is alive now. I’m begging those of you who are looking after the next generation: put a picture of a dolphin or a penguin on the wall. If you want to take care of the environmentalists of tomorrow, please choose any book, lunchbox, T-shirt or “experience” that is not about dinosaurs or unicorns. 12. What did the author find at the Horniman Museum in London? A. An exhibition about African elephants. B. A takeover by a dinosaur-themed event. C. A display of wild ponies from Dartmoor. D.

An elderly man, his white walking stick tapping nervously, stumbled (绊倒) awkwardly. He had tripped where the yellow tactile (触觉的) paving — the special path for the blind — disappeared under a parked delivery truck! His walking stick missed the curb edge entirely. Lily’s heart jumped. “Careful!” she cried, rushing forward just as he started to fall. She grabbed his arm firmly, steadying him. “Oh! Thank you, young lady,” the man breathed, his voice shaky. “The path… it disappeared suddenly. So confusing.” Lily felt a wave of sadness. “It’s okay,” she said gently. “Where are you going? I’ll help you get there safely.” Holding his arm, she carefully guided Mr. Evans (as he introduced himself) past the truck, around several bikes chained to a lamppost right on the path, and over a pile of rubbish bags blocking the way. Each barrier made Lily angrier. How could people be so thoughtless? After safely delivering Mr. Evans to his apartment building ten minutes away, Lily walked back slowly. This time, she really looked. Her eyes scanned the familiar streets with new understanding. The yellow paths meant to guide people who couldn’t see were constantly occupied: scooters (踏板车) leaned casually, café tables and chairs spread across them, cars parked with wheels crushing the vital ridges. It wasn’t just one truck; it was everywhere! Worry knotted her stomach. Mr. Evans could have been seriously hurt. How many others faced this danger every single day? Someone needed to make people see the problem, to make them care. But how? Suddenly, an idea came into Lily’s mind like a bright firework! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I can paint on the yellow tactile paving to draw more attention!” Lily thought. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With so many people painting together, the dull, ignored paths took on a new look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
