Here are some exciting ones that attract visitors worldwide. Montreal Comedy Festival Since 1983, Montreal Comedy Festival, or, Just for Laughs as it is more commonly known, has been inviting people to get together just for fun, just for entertainment — just for laughs. The festival, which takes place every year for two weeks in July, has grown in popularity and reputation and today features some of the world’s greatest comedians and it also resulted in a television show that is broadcast internationally. Vancouver Celebration of Light The largest fireworks competition in the world is held every summer in Vancouver. It consists of concerts, food stalls, and the Seawall Challenge, a popular urban adventure race. The festival, which lasts about a week, makes for a great way to get to know the city from a local standpoint. Toronto International Film Festival Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is one of the leading film festivals in the world ranking closely with Cannes and Sundance. Films such as Hotel Rwanda, American Beauty, and The Big Chill made their premieres (首映) at this famous star-filled event held each September. The 11-day-long festival is also known as the kick-off of awards season, with many films that make their first public performance at TIFF going on to get nominated (提名) for Oscars and Golden Globe awards. Edmonton Folk Festival From its humble beginning in 1980, Edmonton Folk Festival has grown to be one of the world’s famous folk festivals. Held each August, the lineup of the 10-day-long festival is always outstanding and ticket prices stay reasonable. Edmonton is also a gateway to Jasper National Park and the Canadian Rockies, about two hours away in case you have extra time to explore after the festival. 1. Which of the following lasts the shortest? A. Edmonton Folk Festival. B. Montreal Comedy Festival. C. Vancouver Celebration of Light. D. Toronto International Film Festival. 2. Where will movie enthusiasts most probably go to enjoy themselves? A. Edmonton. B. Toronto. C. Montreal. D. Vancouver. 3. What is unique to Edmonton Folk Festival? A. It is held annually. B. It is free of charge. C. It is near other tourist attractions. D. It is broadcast on TV internationally. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了加拿大四个各具特色的节日活动及其相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Montreal Comedy Festival部分“The festival, which takes place every year for two weeks in July(这个节日每年七月举行，为期两周)”，Vancouver Celebration of Light部分“The festival, which lasts about a week(该节日持续一周)”，Toronto International Film Festival部分“The 11-day-long festival(为期11天的节日)”，以及Edmonton Folk Festival部分“Held each August, the lineup of the 10-day-long festival(每年八月举行，为期10天的节日阵容)”可知，Vancouver Celebration of Light是四个节日中持续时间最短的。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Toronto International Film Festival部分“Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is one of the leading film festivals in the world, ranking closely with Cannes and Sundance. Films such as Hotel Rwanda, American Beauty, and The Big Chill made their premieres (首映) at this famous star-filled event held each September.(多伦多国际电影节（TIFF）是世界领先的电影节之一，与戛纳电影节和圣丹斯电影节齐名。《卢旺达饭店》、《美国丽人》和《山水又相逢》等电影都是在这个著名的明星云集的电影节上首映的，该电影节每年九月举行)”可知，电影爱好者最有可能去多伦多享受电影盛宴。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Edmonton Folk Festival部分中“Edmonton is also a gateway to Jasper National Park and the Canadian Rockies, about two hours away in case you have extra time to explore after the festival.(埃德蒙顿也是通往贾斯珀国家公园和加拿大落基山脉的门户，如果你在音乐节后有额外的时间去探索，大约两个小时的车程)”可知，埃德蒙顿民歌音乐节的独特之处在于它靠近其他旅游景点。故选C。 B For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow. Combined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above. Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby. “It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to have pleasure…” “I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation.” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift. To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first. Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared. “Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.” 4. Where does Simon Beck create art? A. On canvas. B. In the sky. C. On snow fields. D. At soccer courts. 5. Why did Beck create his first drawing? A. To seek fun. B. To prove his talent. C. To develop a new hobby. D. To enhance his former career. 6. What contributes to Beck’s art creation? A. His passion for skiing. B. His competitive nature. C. His dream to be an artist. D. His experience of making maps. 7. What did Beck think of his painting work? A. Boring. B. Rewarding. C. Demanding. D. Discouraging. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了雪地艺术家Simon Beck的创作经历和成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow. (他通过在未被踩踏过的雪地上行走，创造出巨大的大地艺术作品，这些雪地覆盖的区域有足球场那么大)”可知，Simon Beck在雪地上创作艺术作品。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to have pleasure…” (“这真的只是有一天作为一个玩笑开始的，”Beck解释说。“有一天滑雪后，我决定在雪地上画一幅画来取乐……”)”可知，Beck创作第一幅画是为了寻求乐趣。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first. (由于他以前的工作经验，这一点也不具有挑战性。但随着他的设计不断发展，变得越来越复杂，Beck说，他开始先在纸上画出设计图)”以及第二段“Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby. (59岁的Beck曾经是一名地图制作师，后来因为晚年决定追求自己的爱好而成为了一名雪地艺术家)”可知，Beck以前是制作地图的，这对他后来在雪地上创作艺术作品很有帮助。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.(自从Beck的作品首次被分享以来，他的画作就受到了极大的欢迎)”以及最后一段“And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society. (第一次，我觉得人们真的需要我。我觉得自己像是社会上更有价值的一员)”可知，Beck认为自己的绘画工作是有意义的，是值得的。故选B。 C The first running boom came in the 1970s and 80s and there was no real diversity: it was all thin, skinny, white guys in very tight shorts. The second boom came after Paula Radcliffe broke the world marathon record in 2003, leading to a big jump in women taking up running, before parkrun grew the numbers again. You look now. This explosion — and it really is an explosion — has been brilliant to see. More than 1.1 million have signed up for the 2026 London Marathon — not only a world record but nearly double the figure from two years ago. Strikingly, for the first time, the male/female division is almost 50/50．The race is also getting younger: more than a third of UK entries are aged from 18 to 29 years old. Running has always been cheap and anyone can do it. Now it is also fashionable. But dig a little deeper, and there are some interesting things going on. Last month, for instance, Sport England found that while there were 349,000 more runners in England in 2024 compared to 2023, that rise was almost entirely fueled by women. “Part of the rise is because brands have realized that women are willing to spend a lot of money on products that work better and look nicer,” says Lee Glandorf, a marketer who works with sports brands. This huge ecosystem of female creators definitely brings in younger women. That is particularly true of Gen Z, who drink much less than previous generations and is more aware of mental health. A research is now showing that running is better than taking a pill to help with depression. Another factor behind the boom is the explosion of running clubs, which bring people together. In the buildup to the London Marathon, the sports brand Tracksmith had up to 400 runners gather outside its shop for its Sunday morning long runs with pacers running between 6.45-minute and 12-minute miles. 8. What can be known about the second running boom? A. Women preferred running to jumping. B. It was caused by parkrun across the world. C. Participants were all men professional runners. D. It began after the world marathon record was broken. 9. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By offering surveys. B. By making comparison. C. By presenting numbers. D. By making a summary. 10. What change has taken place in running? A. It is fashionable. B. It is easily accessible. C. It involves more women. D. It is environmentally friendly. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Diverse running styles. B. The benefits of running. C. Teenage runners’ health issue. D. The causes of the new running trend. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了跑步运动的两次热潮，以及当下跑步运动的新趋势和背后的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The second boom came after Paula Radcliffe broke the world marathon record in 2003, leading to a big jump in women taking up running, before parkrun grew the numbers again.(第二次热潮出现在2003年保拉·拉德克利夫打破世界马拉松纪录之后，女性开始跑步的人数大幅增加，之后公园跑活动又使这一数字再次增长)”可知，第二次跑步热潮始于世界马拉松纪录被打破之后。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“More than 1.1 million have signed up for the 2026 London Marathon — not only a world record but nearly double the figure from two years ago. Strikingly, for the first time, the male/female division is almost 50/50. The race is also getting younger: more than a third of UK entries are aged from 18 to 29 years old.(超过110万人报名参加2026年伦敦马拉松赛，这不仅创下了世界纪录，而且几乎是两年前数字的两倍。值得注意的是，这是第一次男女比例几乎达到50/50。参赛者也趋于年轻化：英国参赛者中有超过三分之一的人年龄在18至29岁之间)”可知，第二段通过列举具体的数字来展示跑步运动的蓬勃发展。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Last month, for instance, Sport England found that while there were 349,000 more runners in England in 2024 compared to 2023, that rise was almost entirely fueled by women.(例如，上个月，英国体育局发现，与2023年相比，2024年英国的跑步者增加了34.9万人，这一增长几乎完全是由女性推动的)”可知，跑步运动中女性参与者的数量大幅增加。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Part of the rise is because brands have realized that women are willing to spend a lot of money on products that work better and look nicer(这一增长的部分原因是品牌意识到女性愿意在效果更好、外观更漂亮的产品上花很多钱)”及“A research is now showing that running is better than taking a pill to help with depression. Another factor behind the boom is the explosion of running clubs, which bring people together.(一项研究表明，跑步比吃药更能帮助缓解抑郁症。这一热潮背后的另一个因素是跑步俱乐部的激增，它们将人们聚集在一起)”可知，最后一段主要探讨了跑步运动蓬勃发展的原因。故选D。 D A new study by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health shows that climate change may significantly impact arsenic (砷) levels in rice, a main food for millions across Asia. The research indicates that increased temperatures above 2℃, combined with rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, result in higher concentrations (浓度) of arsenic in rice, potentially increasing lifetime health risks for populations in Asia by 2050. “Our results suggest that this increase in arsenic levels could significantly raise the incidence of heart disease, and other serious health effects,” said Lewis Ziska, PhD, Columbia Mailman School associate professor of Environmental Health Sciences. “As rice is a principle food in many parts of the world, these changes could lead to a substantial rise in the global problem of cancer, and other arsenic-related health issues.” From a health aspect, the harmful effects of long-lasting arsenic exposure are well established and include cancers of the lung and skin, as well as heart disease. Emerging evidence also suggests that arsenic exposure may be even linked to poor pregnancy (妊娠) outcomes. In fact, “ingesting rice in regions like southern China and Southeast and South Asia is already a significant source of cancer risk,” said Ziska. By measuring the effects of rising temperatures and CO2 on 28 rice kinds over ten years in the field using FACE (Free-Air CO2 Enrichment) method, and combining advanced modeling techniques, the team estimated health risks for seven Asian countries. “Based on our findings, we believe there are several actions that could help reduce arsenic exposure in the future,” Ziska noted. These include efforts in plant producing to minimize arsenic uptake, improved soil management in rice fields, and better processing practices. Such measures, along with public health initiatives focused on consumer education and exposure monitoring, could play a critical role in reducing the health impacts of climate change on people’s eating rice. 12. What leads to lifetime health risks according to the new study? A. Diversity of rice in Asia. B. Change in air composition. C. Rapid growth of population. D. Increasing arsenic levels in rice. 13. What can be learnt from paragraph 2? A. Impacts of rice on medical study. B. Potential risks from affected rice. C. Further research on people’s health. D. Approaches to growing high quality rice. 14. What does the underlined word “ingesting” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A Consuming. B. Producing. C. Transporting. D. Protecting. 15. What does the author think of the future of rice-eating? A. Doubtful. B. Concerning. C. Promising. D. Changeless. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变暖导致水稻内砷的含量增加，对人体健康有害。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The research indicates that increased temperatures above 2℃,combined with rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, result in higher concentrations (浓度) of arsenic in rice, potentially increasing lifetime health risks for populations in Asia by 2050. (研究表明，温度升高到2℃以上，再加上二氧化碳水平上升，导致大米中砷浓度升高，到2050年可能会增加亚洲人口的终身健康风险。)”可知，大米中的砷含量增加导致终身健康风险。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Our results suggest that this increase in arsenic levels could significantly raise the incidence of heart disease, and other serious health effects, (我们的研究结果表明，砷含量的这一上升可能会显著增加心脏病的发病率以及其他严重的健康问题的发生几率。)”可知，砷含量的增加可能会显著增加心脏病的发病率和其他严重的健康后果。由此可知，从本段可以了解受影响水稻的潜在风险。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Emerging evidence also suggests that arsenic exposure may be even linked to poor pregnancy (妊娠) outcomes. (新的研究证据还表明，砷暴露可能与不良的妊娠结局存在关联。)”可知，水稻砷的含量增加对身体健康有害；同时根据划线词所在句子“ingesting rice in regions like southern China and Southeast and South Asia is already a significant source of cancer risk,” said Ziska.(扎斯卡表示：“在诸如中国南部以及东南亚和南亚等地区，ingesting水稻已经成为了导致癌症风险增加的一个重要因素。”)”可知，因为水稻砷的含量增加对身体健康有害，划线词承接前面的内容指出，在中国南部、东南亚和南亚等地区食用大米已经是癌症风险的重要来源，所以划线词在此处意为“消耗，吃”。A选项“Consuming.(消耗，吃)”与划线词为同义词。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段指出“Such measures, along with public health initiatives focused on consumer education and exposure monitoring, could play a critical role in reducing the health impacts of climate change on people’s eating rice. (这些措施，再加上以消费者教育和暴露监测为重点的公共卫生举措，可以在减少气候变化对人们吃米饭的健康影响方面发挥关键作用。)”可知，在未来以消费者教育和暴露监测为重点的公共卫生举措，可以在减少气候变化对人们吃米饭的健康影响方面发挥关键作用，因此作者觉得未来食用水稻是有前途的。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you’re moving on a tight timeline, efficiency in packing is crucial.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在时间紧张的情况下高效打包的一些技巧，帮助人们在搬家的重要日子前完成所有准备工作。 【16题详解】 上文“Maybe you’re hoping to use professional movers.(也许你希望雇用专业的搬家工人)”及下文“Especially in the peak moving season, truck rentals, hourly moving services, and cross-country moving companies book up quickly.(尤其是在搬家高峰期，卡车租赁、按小时计费的搬家服务以及跨国搬家公司很快就会被预订一空)”说明雇用搬家工人需要提前预订，空处承上启下，C选项中的“them”指代上文中的“professional movers”，说明预订搬家工人应是首要任务，下文是对此的解释，所以C选项“预订他们应该是你的首要任务”，符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 下文“Even though you’re on a deadline, if you can stay organized packing for a move, it’ll save you time because you’ll only have to transport the stuff you want and need. As you work through each room, sort the things into the categories like “donate”, “get rid of”, and “keep”.(即使你时间紧迫，如果你能在搬家时保持有条理的打包，这会节省你的时间，因为你只需要运输你想要和需要的东西。当你整理每个房间时，把东西分类，比如“捐赠”、“扔掉”和“保留”)”说明搬家时要对物品进行分类，空处位于段首，应是本段的主题句，A选项中的“Sort”与下文中的“sort”相呼应，所以A选项“整理你的物品”能够概括本段主旨，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“Labeling each box will streamline the unpacking process. Make sure to label boxes with where they’ll go in your new home, not where they came from in your old house.(给每个箱子贴上标签会使拆箱过程更加高效。一定要在箱子上标明它们在新家的位置，而不是在旧房子里的位置)”说明给箱子贴标签要标明在新家的位置，空处承接上文，说明这样做的好处，F选项中的“the right room”与上文中的“where they’ll go in your new home”相呼应，所以F选项“这样，搬家工人就能很容易地把东西搬到正确的房间”，符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 上文“If you’re lucky enough to have help from friends and family, don’t have them show up until you’re organized. That way, you can give them clear instructions like “take that pile to the trash can” or “box everything in this cabinet (柜橱).”(如果你足够幸运，有朋友和家人的帮助，在你整理好之前不要让他们出现。这样，你就可以给他们明确的指示，比如“把那堆东西拿到垃圾桶”或“把这个柜子里的所有东西都装进箱子”)”说明在整理好之前不要让朋友和家人过早出现，空处承接上文，说明如果他们过早出现会带来的问题，G选项中的“they”指代上文中的“friends and family”，所以G选项“如果他们来得太早，他们只会用问题拖慢你的速度”解释了不让朋友家人过早出现的原因，与上文逻辑一致，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“If you’re hiring movers, one of the most important packing tips for moving is to read your contract.(如果你雇了搬家工人，搬家最重要的打包建议之一就是阅读你的合同)”及下文“They may include things that are breakable, oversized, or extremely difficult to move. Make sure you know ahead of time what they’re willing to move and what they’re not.(它们可能包括易碎、过大或极难移动的东西。确保你提前知道他们愿意搬什么，不愿意搬什么)”说明阅读合同时要注意合同中对物品的限制，空处承上启下，应说明合同中可能存在的限制，引出后文具体的限制物品类型，D选项中的“it”指代上文中的“contract”，说明合同中经常有对某些类型物品的限制，下文是对此的解释，所以D选项“合同中经常有对某些类型物品的限制”，符合语境。故选D。 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。 An experienced skier was found buried under an avalanche (雪崩) on a remote trail after his wife managed to locate him.

But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself. It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him. Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing?” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag?” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.” We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire. 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 soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. The room felt warm now. The kids started giggling when Dad handed them each a piece of candy and a coat. Ms. Black looked with a smile. “The children and I have been praying that angels would come to our help and here you come,” she said with tears running down her face. Dad took each of the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug before we left. Out on the truck I felt a warmth that came from deep within and I didn’t even notice the cold. On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. It turned out that he and Mom had finally saved enough money to buy that bike for me. On his way to buy me the gift, Dad saw little Robert out of his house with an old thin shirt. “Son, I spent the money saved for your bike buying coats for the children. I hope you understand,” he said. I understood very well. Now the bike seemed very low on my list of priorities. Dad had given me the look on Ms. Black’s face and the joyful smiles of her three children. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因未能得到心仪的自行车而感到沮丧，随后父亲带他去帮助一位贫困的单亲母亲及其孩子，通过这次经历，作者领悟到了给予比接受更令人快乐的道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我很快让火烧得更旺，每个人的情绪都高涨起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者帮助生火后，屋内变得温暖，孩子们和Ms. Black都感到开心，作者也感受到了内心的温暖。 ②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上，爸爸转向我，开始解释我长久以来渴望的那辆自行车。”可知，第二段可描写父亲解释自行车的事情，他原本打算用存的钱给作者买自行车，但看到Robert的困境后，决定用这些钱买衣服和糖果给孩子们。作者对此表示理解，并认为自行车已不再那么重要。 2.续写线索：生火——屋内变暖——孩子们开心——父亲解释自行车的事情——作者理解并感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①传递：hand/give/pass ②拥抱：gave them a hug/embraced them/hugged them warmly ③购买：buy/purchase/acquire 情绪类 ①感动流泪：with tears running down her face/with tears streaming down her cheeks/with tears trickling down her face ②感到温暖：felt a warmth/experienced a sense of warmth/sensed a feeling of warmth 【点睛】[高分句型1] The kids started giggling when Dad handed them each a piece of candy and a coat.

Here are some exciting ones that attract visitors worldwide. Montreal Comedy Festival Since 1983, Montreal Comedy Festival, or, Just for Laughs as it is more commonly known, has been inviting people to get together just for fun, just for entertainment — just for laughs. The festival, which takes place every year for two weeks in July, has grown in popularity and reputation and today features some of the world’s greatest comedians and it also resulted in a television show that is broadcast internationally. Vancouver Celebration of Light The largest fireworks competition in the world is held every summer in Vancouver. It consists of concerts, food stalls, and the Seawall Challenge, a popular urban adventure race. The festival, which lasts about a week, makes for a great way to get to know the city from a local standpoint. Toronto International Film Festival Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is one of the leading film festivals in the world, ranking closely with Cannes and Sundance. Films such as Hotel Rwanda, American Beauty, and The Big Chill made their premieres (首映) at this famous star-filled event held each September. The 11-day-long festival is also known as the kick-off of awards season, with many films that make their first public performance at TIFF going on to get nominated (提名) for Oscars and Golden Globe awards. Edmonton Folk Festival From its humble beginning in 1980, Edmonton Folk Festival has grown to be one of the world’s famous folk festivals. Held each August, the lineup of the 10-day-long festival is always outstanding and ticket prices stay reasonable. Edmonton is also a gateway to Jasper National Park and the Canadian Rockies, about two hours away in case you have extra time to explore after the festival. 1. Which of the following lasts the shortest? A. Edmonton Folk Festival. B. Montreal Comedy Festival. C. Vancouver Celebration of Light. D. Toronto International Film Festival. 2. Where will movie enthusiasts most probably go to enjoy themselves? A. Edmonton. B. Toronto. C. Montreal. D. Vancouver. 3. What is unique to Edmonton Folk Festival? A. It is held annually. B. It is free of charge. C. It is near other tourist attractions. D. It is broadcast on TV internationally. B For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow. Combined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above. Beck 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby. “It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to have pleasure…” “I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation.” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift. To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first. Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared. “Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.” 4. Where does Simon Beck create art? A. On canvas. B. In the sky. C. On snow fields. D. At soccer courts. 5. Why did Beck create his first drawing? A To seek fun. B. To prove his talent. C. To develop a new hobby. D. To enhance his former career. 6. What contributes to Beck’s art creation? A. His passion for skiing. B. His competitive nature. C His dream to be an artist. D. His experience of making maps. 7. What did Beck think of his painting work? A. Boring. B. Rewarding. C. Demanding. D. Discouraging. C The first running boom came in the 1970s and 80s and there was no real diversity: it was all thin, skinny, white guys in very tight shorts. The second boom came after Paula Radcliffe broke the world marathon record in 2003, leading to a big jump in women taking up running, before parkrun grew the numbers again. You look now. This explosion — and it really is an explosion — has been brilliant to see. More than 1.1 million have signed up for the 2026 London Marathon — not only a world record but nearly double the figure from two years ago. Strikingly, for the first time, the male/female division is almost 50/50．The race is also getting younger: more than a third of UK entries are aged from 18 to 29 years old. Running has always been cheap and anyone can do it. Now it is also fashionable. But dig a little deeper, and there are some interesting things going on. Last month, for instance, Sport England found that while there were 349,000 more runners in England in 2024 compared to 2023, that rise was almost entirely fueled by women. “Part of the rise is because brands have realized that women are willing to spend a lot of money on products that work better and look nicer,” says Lee Glandorf, a marketer who works with sports brands. This huge ecosystem of female creators definitely brings in younger women. That is particularly true of Gen Z, who drink much less than previous generations and is more aware of mental health. A research is now showing that running is better than taking a pill to help with depression. Another factor behind the boom is the explosion of running clubs, which bring people together. In the buildup to the London Marathon, the sports brand Tracksmith had up to 400 runners gather outside its shop for its Sunday morning long runs with pacers running between 6.45-minute and 12-minute miles. 8. What can be known about the second running boom? A. Women preferred running to jumping. B. It was caused by parkrun across the world. C. Participants were all men professional runners. D. It began after the world marathon record was broken. 9. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By offering surveys. B. By making comparison. C By presenting numbers. D. By making a summary. 10. What change has taken place in running? A. It is fashionable. B. It is easily accessible. C. It involves more women. D. It is environmentally friendly. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Diverse running styles. B. The benefits of running. C. Teenage runners’ health issue. D. The causes of the new running trend. D A new study by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health shows that climate change may significantly impact arsenic (砷) levels in rice, a main food for millions across Asia. The research indicates that increased temperatures above 2℃, combined with rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, result in higher concentrations (浓度) of arsenic in rice, potentially increasing lifetime health risks for populations in Asia by 2050. “Our results suggest that this increase in arsenic levels could significantly raise the incidence of heart disease, and other serious health effects,” said Lewis Ziska, PhD, Columbia Mailman School associate professor of Environmental Health Sciences. “As rice is a principle food in many parts of the world, these changes could lead to a substantial rise in the global problem of cancer, and other arsenic-related health issues.” From a health aspect, the harmful effects of long-lasting arsenic exposure are well established and include cancers of the lung and skin, as well as heart disease. Emerging evidence also suggests that arsenic exposure may be even linked to poor pregnancy (妊娠) outcomes. In fact, “ingesting rice in regions like southern China and Southeast and South Asia is already a significant source of cancer risk,” said Ziska. By measuring the effects of rising temperatures and CO2 on 28 rice kinds over ten years in the field using FACE (Free-Air CO2 Enrichment) method, and combining advanced modeling techniques, the team estimated health risks for seven Asian countries. “Based on our findings, we believe there are several actions that could help reduce arsenic exposure in the future,” Ziska noted. These include efforts in plant producing to minimize arsenic uptake, improved soil management in rice fields, and better processing practices. Such measures, along with public health initiatives focused on consumer education and exposure monitoring, could play a critical role in reducing the health impacts of climate change on people’s eating rice. 12. What leads to lifetime health risks according to the new study? A. Diversity of rice in Asia. B. Change in air composition. C. Rapid growth of population. D. Increasing arsenic levels in rice. 13. What can be learnt from paragraph 2? A. Impacts of rice on medical study. B. Potential risks from affected rice. C. Further research on people’s health. D. Approaches to growing high quality rice. 14. What does the underlined word “ingesting” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Consuming. B. Producing. C. Transporting. D. Protecting. 15. What does the author think of the future of rice-eating? A. Doubtful. B. Concerning. C. Promising. D.

But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself. It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him. Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing?” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag?” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.” We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire. 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 soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
