At the middle school level, there are many academic clubs in which students can participate. Students can choose clubs that focus on an area of interest.
Mathcounts Club
Mathcounts tries to increase excitement towards mathematics achievement. It hopes to provide students with the foundation for success in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. Schools select individuals and teams to participate in competitions. Local competitions are held in February with winners progressing to state competitions and then on to the national level. Mathcounts works to challenge student math skills, develop self-confidence and give rewards for their achievements.
Envirothon
The Envirothon program focuses on natural resources knowledge and exposes students to diverse environmental issues, ecosystems, and topography. The ecology field competition for five-member middle school teams offers competitions in wildlife, soils, forestry, current environmental issues and aquatics. Students work and learn in middle school clubs and can compete at the local and state level.
Future Problem Solvers
Future Problem Solvers is an academic club that uses a six-step process to solve problems that may happen in the future. Students who are in the talented and gifted program, who like to “think out of the box,” or who enjoy thinking about futuristic problems may like this club. Teams comprised of four students read future scenes and write up solutions in a booklet using the six-step process. Teams that score high enough can go to the state competition and then to the international competition.
Builders Club
Builders Club is open to any middle school student who wishes to perform community service. Each Builders Club is co-sponsored by a Kiwanis club and the middle school. The members learn by doing, and they learn organization, teamwork, and leadership. Builders Clubs can sponsor a “Teacher of the Year” program, provide a recycling collection point, organize canned food and clothing drives to support local shelters, adopt a resident at a local senior citizens home, adopt a highway, tutor, etc. Middle school academic clubs offer students a place to explore interests or talents.

B
I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother's guidance. I always "felt" I could write. I did not always "feel" I could study a foreign language effectively.
But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can't really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn't feel it when reading French novels; I didn't feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris.
I'm emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.
Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I've come. They are not the norm(常态),though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.
4. How does the author feel about making mistakes in French?
A. Awkward. B. Hopeless. C. Competent. D. Rewarding.
5. According to the author, what is the real challenge in learning a language?
A. Mastering complicated grammar. B. Overcoming the fear of making mistakes.
C. Finding enough time to study. D. Understanding native speakers.
6. Why does the author emphasize feelings?
A. To highlight his struggles in learning French.
B. To show that positive thinking can drive growth.
C. To illustrate that people should follow their hearts.
D. To clarify his experience in mindset transformation.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The lows are always followed by highs. B. Feeling confident should be made a norm.
C. Struggles are an essential part of learning. D. The ups are the real times when learning occurs.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过介绍自己学法语的经历论述了学习过程中的挣扎、错误以及与成长的关系。这些经历对个人学习成长很关键。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can't really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose.I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly.(在边境,我用法语进行了登记入住,吃午饭的时候也说了法语。但我表达起来并不流利,有时会听错单词,也不能很好地运用复杂的语法结构。不过我的话语内容清晰易懂,也能达到预期的效果。我感觉就像往常一样,自己仿佛置身于黑暗之中,但每走错一步,我的方向就会更加清晰起来)”可知,作者认为在法语上犯错能让自己更清楚前进方向,所以对犯错持积极态度。D项表示“值得的”,与推断相吻合。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard.(学习语言本身并不难。难的是你当下所处状态下的自我认知,以及那种对自身永远无法改变的悲观看法,这些造成了学习的困难)”可知,作者认为真正的挑战不是语言本身,而是对犯错的恐惧和对自我能力的悲观信念。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I'm emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.(我之所以强调情感,是因为在学习过程中情感与任何现实因素一样重要。对犯错误的恐惧滋养了绝望,使学习者放弃。学习语言本身并不难。难的是你当下所处状态下的自我认知,以及那种对自身永远无法改变的悲观看法,这些造成了学习的困难。将挣扎转化为成长的过程,才是真正能让学习成为改变人生的旅程)”可知,作者强调情感是因为它很重要,将挣扎转化为成长,是正向积极的情感,促使学习变成改变人生的旅程。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段中的“The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.(事实是,低谷是我更常遇到的。它们是学习过程的一部分,是塑造我们成为更好自己的转变的一部分。然而,正是通过这些低谷,我一直在学习和成长)”可推断,作者认为低谷是学习过程中的重要部分。C项表示“挣扎是学习过程中不可或缺的一部分”是对文章内容的同义转述,故选C项。
C
Before joining Washington D. C.-based District Running Collective, Fallon Jones wasn’t a runner. “We were doing CrossFit then — there’s this group of people who run up the street.” says Jones. She was attracted after her first run with the group the following week. “I was in the slower pace group, but everybody was there at the end to cheer me on.” she adds.
The first known running club, the Thames Hare and Hounds, was established in 1868 in London, promoting the sport as a social activity. Over the decades, running clubs have spread across Europe and North America, initially attracting competitive runners but gradually appealing to a broader audience seeking support, motivation and friendship. In recent years, online platforms have allowed runners to connect, making running more accessible and inclusive.
Nowadays, conversational running is becoming a trend. Conversational running, which refers to maintaining a pace at which you can comfortably speak as you move, is often associated with Zone 2 training, which involves an intensity of 60-70 percent of your maximum heart rate. Kristen Hislop, a certified running coach, says people often struggle to achieve this pace though it doesn’t feel like an “arduous” workout; it’s often much slower than you’d anticipate. “But while it isn’t especially challenging, doing low-intensity exercise regularly can build endurance (耐力) so you’ll be able to go longer and further,” says Hislop. “You’re also going to recover faster and reduce your risk of injuries.”
Conversational running is also good for your relationships. “If you’re near somebody but not necessarily facing them eye to eye, you might be more willing to express yourself or you might just feel a little bit less shy,” says Rachel Goldberg, a licensed family therapist who incorporates walk-and-talk sessions into her practice. This can lead to deeper conversations and stronger connections.
Despite the benefits of running with others, finding the right run club to fit your needs is crucial. Jones knew her club was the right fit after her first outing. “They did a really good job in explaining the different pace groups,” she says. “As someone who’s approaching 40, it has been a blessing to find friends of all ages here at this stage in life.”
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of running clubs. B. The origin of conversational running.
C. The development of running clubs. D. The advances in fitness technologies.
9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Exceptional. B. Annual. C. Rewarding. D. Tough.
10. What does Rachel Goldberg say about conversational running?
A. It is a high-intensity exercise. B. It makes people willing to open up.
C. It frees people of work stress. D. It enhances people’s mental clarity.
11. What attracts Jones best about District Running Collective?
A. Its capability to group. B. Its access to local cultures.
C. Its promising future. D. Its obvious health benefits.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过Fallon Jones的经历,介绍了她从非跑步者到加入跑步俱乐部的转变,以及跑步俱乐部如何吸引不同人群、促进社交和提供心理和身体上的益处。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段内容,特别是首句“The first known running club, the Thames Hare and Hounds, was established in 1868 in London, promoting the sport as a social activity.(第一个为人所知的跑步俱乐部,泰晤士猎兔犬俱乐部,成立于1868年的伦敦,将这项运动推广为一种社交活动)”可知,本段主要讲述了跑步俱乐部的发展历程,从最初的伦敦俱乐部到现在在欧洲和北美的广泛传播。C选项“The development of running clubs.(跑步俱乐部的发展)”符合题意。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“people often struggle to achieve this pace though it doesn’t feel like an ‘arduous’ workout; it’s often much slower than you’d anticipate.(人们很难达到这种速度,尽管它感觉起来并不像是“arduous”的锻炼;它通常比你预期的要慢得多)”可知,此处构成让步关系,即虽然这种速度感觉起来并不艰难,但人们还是很难达到,由此它通常比预期要慢得多。因此划线词与D选项“Tough.(艰难的)”为同义词。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Conversational running is also good for your relationships. ‘If you’re near somebody but not necessarily facing them eye to eye, you might be more willing to express yourself or you might just feel a little bit less shy,’ says Rachel Goldberg, a licensed family therapist who incorporates walk-and-talk sessions into her practice.(边跑边聊对你的关系也有好处。“如果你离某人很近,但不必与他们面对面,你可能会更愿意表达自己,或者你可能会觉得不那么害羞,”获得执照的家庭治疗师Rachel Goldberg说,她会将边走边谈的环节融入她的实践中)”可知,Rachel Goldberg认为边跑边聊可以让人们更愿意表达自己,减少害羞感。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Jones knew her club was the right fit after her first outing. ‘They did a really good job in explaining the different pace groups,’ she says.( Jones在第一次外出后就知道她的俱乐部很适合她。“他们在解释不同的速度组别方面做得很好,”她说。)”可知,Jones认为这个跑步俱乐部最好的地方是它能够根据速度进行分组,让她找到了适合自己的群体。故选A。
D
Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can’t directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors.
Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions.
Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change.
An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and if cared for will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it.
The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don’t realize it. Who’d have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices, conscious or not, can be constructive or destructive.
12. What does the study find about metaphors?
A. They help clarify abstract concepts. B. They may cause some misunderstanding.
C. They make language more poetic and vivid. D. They can influence people’s minds and behavior.
13. Why is the example of “lightbulb metaphor” quoted in paragraph 3?
A. To raise some doubt about metaphors. B. To highlight improper use of metaphors.
C. To illustrate poetic functions of metaphors. D. To demonstrate the influence of metaphors.
14. How does the “seed metaphor” differ from the “lightbulb metaphor”?
A. It suggests consistent efforts of individuals. B. It attaches great significance to natural talent.
C. It arouses people’s awareness of their creativity. D. It simplifies the process of generating new ideas.
15. What is author’s attitude towards the use of metaphors?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文。主要通过举例和分析来探讨隐喻在语言和思维中的作用,以及不同隐喻如何影响人们的理解和行为。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. (Purchase学院进行的一项研究发现,隐喻可以塑造人们的视角,进而影响他们的推理和后续行为。)”可知,研究发现隐喻能够影响人们的思维和行为。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses… It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. (另一个例子是常用于描述新想法的灯泡隐喻,暗示新想法像打开电灯开关一样突然出现。然而,这个隐喻暗示新想法来得不费吹灰之力,只有少数天才才能拥有……这可能会导致人们质疑自己产生新想法的能力,并因此低估努力工作和持续学习在带来变化中的作用。)”可知,引用灯泡隐喻这个例子是为了说明隐喻如何影响人们对新想法产生过程的理解,即证明隐喻的影响力。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. (与灯泡隐喻不同,种子隐喻暗示了一种理解,即产生新想法是一个需要时间和努力的艰苦过程。它还表明,只要用心,任何人都可以成为思想的培育者。)”可知,种子隐喻与灯泡隐喻不同之处在于它暗示个人需要持续的努力。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don’t realize it. Who’d have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices, conscious or not, can be constructive or destructive. (隐喻的微妙影响显示了语言的强大力量,尽管我们常常没有意识到这一点。谁会想到一个简单的灯泡隐喻会深刻地影响我们对创新概念的理解?鉴于我们思维的隐喻性,值得一问的是:我们的隐喻是否合适?我们有责任对自己和他人适当地使用隐喻。这些选择,无论是有意识还是无意识的,都可能是建设性的或破坏性的。)”可知,作者对隐喻的使用持谨慎态度,认为应该恰当地使用隐喻,因为无论是有意识还是无意识的,隐喻都可能是建设性的或破坏性的。故选C。
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。
With the widespread use of computers, increasing students type with a greater-than-ever reliance on them to take notes and write papers. ____16____ Some parents of younger students are dismayed that their children are not just encouraged but required to take laptops to class. Additionally, university professors complain of rampant (泛滥的) distraction in classrooms, with students reading and messaging instead of listening to lectures.
A line of research shows the benefits of an “innovation” that predates computers handwriting. Especially, studies have found that writing on paper can better students’ performance. ____17____ For learning materials by note (死记硬背), from the shapes of letters to the irregularity of English spelling, the benefits of using a pen or pencil lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material.
____18____ In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer, students typing wrote down almost twice as many words and more passages word for word from lectures. It suggested they didn’t understand so much as rapidly copying the material. However, handwriting — which takes longer for nearly all university-level students — forces note-takers to transform ideas into their own words. ____19____ Those taking notes by hand also allows students to perform better on tests when they are later able to study from their notes.
Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits, and policymakers have taken note. For instance, about half the states in America have required more teaching of handwriting. ____20____ Although nearly all will eventually need typing skills, in an age of typing, handwriting still matters.
A. Studies have found that handwriting can benefit a lot.
B. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing.
C. But today a different debate is raging about the dangers of typing.
D. In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting books and fewer devices.
E. However, several schools in America have gone so far to ban most laptops.
F It helps students recall a random series of words and grasp complicated concepts better.
G. One of the best-demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in superior note-taking.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. D

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Elaine walked out the door of Petty’s Fine Foods, clutching a bag of pies. She was not a fearful person. But as she headed toward her parked car, the graying grandmother of three couldn’t help noticing two young men trailing behind her on the sidewalk. “Are they following me?” she wondered. It was a sunlit May afternoon in Utica Square,an upmarket shopping complex — hardly the time or place for street crime. Elaine shook off her fear. There are dozens of people around here. I’m not in any danger.
But as she shifted her bag and opened the door to her Toyota, one of the men rushed up to the car. He blocked her in on one side, while the other pushed her and then wordlessly ripped the white leather bag from her shoulder.Both men took off running. Inside the bag were her credit cards and $11. But that’s not what made her frantic.
The robbers had her house keys and driver’s license — with her address. Elaine’s six-year-old grand-daughter was at home with the nanny (保姆). Extremely angry, she screamed, “They stole my purse!”
About 15 feet away, Erin had just emerged from the post office. Erin often worked with elderly clients who also looked to her for emotional support. Erin had a good understanding of their loneliness, listened to their concerns.
Now she heard the terror in Elaine’s voice and saw the two men running across the lot. They’re going to be gone if someone doesn’t do something, she realized. The other shoppers seemed unaware. So Erin made a quick call. She’d make enough noise to get everyone’s attention. Hopefully somebody would stop the thieves.
At 50 Erin was by no means an athlete. Nor was she dressed for a chase. Still, she had to keep the men in sight until help arrived. Clutching her purse and wallet in one hand and her stamps in the other, she sprinted after them.
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。
“Those two guys stole a woman’s purse!” she screamed.

When the women had the guys trapped in the Starbucks bathroom, they waved at security guards.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“Those two guys stole a woman’s purse!” she screamed. Instantly, bystanders reacted. Several men nearby began to chase the thieves. Erin took the lead in the pursuit, calling out directions. The crowd grew, united in stopping the crime. Cornered near Starbucks, the thieves looked desperate. Their escape route was cut off by determined shoppers and workers.
When the women had the guys trapped in the Starbucks bathroom, they waved at security guards. Elaine arrived, clutching her bag, tears of relief in her eyes. “Thank you,” she said to Erin. Security guards took over, ensuring the robbers couldn’t flee. Soon, the police arrived and arrested them. As people dispersed, many praised Erin’s bravery. “You protected my family,” Elaine added gratefully. Erin smiled, “We need to look out for each other.” Their actions turned a frightening event into a story of community spirit.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Elaine和Erin两位女性为主线,讲述了在Utica Square购物广场发生的一场惊心动魄的抢劫事件,Elaine遭遇抢劫,不仅失去了财物,更因丢失含有家中钥匙和地址的驾照而陷入恐慌,与此同时,Erin挺身而出,在听到Elaine的呼救后,不顾个人安危,勇敢追捕逃窜的窃贼。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘那两个人抢了一个女人的包!’她尖叫道。”可知,第一段可描写Erin接下来是如何做的以及周围的人听到喊声后的行动。
②由第二段首句内容“当女人们将窃贼困在星巴克的洗手间时,她们向保安挥手示意。”可知,第二段可描写在众人的帮助下抓住窃贼,拿到Elaine的包以及Elaine如何做的,人们对Erin的表现有何反响。
2.续写线索:群众一起追窃贼——将窃贼逼近星巴克——保安接管——警察逮捕窃贼——Elaine表示感谢——群众赞扬Erin——感悟

I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother's guidance. I always "felt" I could write. I did not always "feel" I could study a foreign language effectively.
But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can't really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn't feel it when reading French novels; I didn't feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris.
I'm emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.
Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I've come. They are not the norm(常态),though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.
4. How does the author feel about making mistakes in French?
A. Awkward. B. Hopeless. C. Competent. D. Rewarding.
5. According to the author, what is the real challenge in learning a language?

6. Why does the author emphasize feelings?
A. To highlight his struggles in learning French.
B. To show that positive thinking can drive growth.
C. To illustrate that people should follow their hearts.
D. To clarify his experience in mindset transformation.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The lows are always followed by highs. B. Feeling confident should be made a norm.
C. Struggles are an essential part of learning. D. The ups are the real times when learning occurs.

Before joining Washington D. C.-based District Running Collective, Fallon Jones wasn’t a runner. “We were doing CrossFit then — there’s this group of people who run up the street.” says Jones. She was attracted after her first run with the group the following week. “I was in the slower pace group, but everybody was there at the end to cheer me on.” she adds.
The first known running club, the Thames Hare and Hounds, was established in 1868 in London, promoting the sport as a social activity. Over the decades, running clubs have spread across Europe and North America, initially attracting competitive runners but gradually appealing to a broader audience seeking support, motivation and friendship. In recent years, online platforms have allowed runners to connect, making running more accessible and inclusive.
Nowadays, conversational running is becoming a trend. Conversational running, which refers to maintaining a pace at which you can comfortably speak as you move, is often associated with Zone 2 training, which involves an intensity of 60-70 percent of your maximum heart rate. Kristen Hislop, a certified running coach, says people often struggle to achieve this pace though it doesn’t feel like an “arduous” workout; it’s often much slower than you’d anticipate. “But while it isn’t especially challenging, doing low-intensity exercise regularly can build endurance (耐力) so you’ll be able to go longer and further,” says Hislop. “You’re also going to recover faster and reduce your risk of injuries.”
Conversational running is also good for your relationships. “If you’re near somebody but not necessarily facing them eye to eye, you might be more willing to express yourself or you might just feel a little bit less shy,” says Rachel Goldberg, a licensed family therapist who incorporates walk-and-talk sessions into her practice. This can lead to deeper conversations and stronger connections.
Despite the benefits of running with others, finding the right run club to fit your needs is crucial. Jones knew her club was the right fit after her first outing. “They did a really good job in explaining the different pace groups,” she says. “As someone who’s approaching 40, it has been a blessing to find friends of all ages here at this stage in life.”
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of running clubs. B. The origin of conversational running.
C. The development of running clubs. D. The advances in fitness technologies.
9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Exceptional. B. Annual. C. Rewarding. D. Tough.
10. What does Rachel Goldberg say about conversational running?
A. It is a high-intensity exercise. B. It makes people willing to open up.
C. It frees people of work stress. D. It enhances people’s mental clarity.
11. What attracts Jones best about District Running Collective?
A. Its capability to group. B. Its access to local cultures.
C. Its promising future. D. Its obvious health benefits.

Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can’t directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors.
Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions.
Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change.
An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and if cared for will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it.
The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don’t realize it. Who’d have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices, conscious or not, can be constructive or destructive.
12. What does the study find about metaphors?
A. They help clarify abstract concepts. B. They may cause some misunderstanding.
C. They make language more poetic and vivid. D. They can influence people’s minds and behavior.
13. Why is the example of “lightbulb metaphor” quoted in paragraph 3?
A. To raise some doubt about metaphors. B. To highlight improper use of metaphors.
C. To illustrate poetic functions of metaphors. D. To demonstrate the influence of metaphors.
14. How does the “seed metaphor” differ from the “lightbulb metaphor”?
A. It suggests consistent efforts of individuals. B. It attaches great significance to natural talent.
C. It arouses people’s awareness of their creativity. D. It simplifies the process of generating new ideas.
15. What is author’s attitude towards the use of metaphors?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous.

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。
With the widespread use of computers, increasing students type with a greater-than-ever reliance on them to take notes and write papers. ____16____ Some parents of younger students are dismayed that their children are not just encouraged but required to take laptops to class. Additionally, university professors complain of rampant (泛滥的) distraction in classrooms, with students reading and messaging instead of listening to lectures.
A line of research shows the benefits of an “innovation” that predates computers handwriting. Especially, studies have found that writing on paper can better students’ performance. ____17____ For learning materials by note (死记硬背), from the shapes of letters to the irregularity of English spelling, the benefits of using a pen or pencil lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material.
____18____ In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer, students typing wrote down almost twice as many words and more passages word for word from lectures. It suggested they didn’t understand so much as rapidly copying the material. However, handwriting — which takes longer for nearly all university-level students — forces note-takers to transform ideas into their own words. ____19____ Those taking notes by hand also allows students to perform better on tests when they are later able to study from their notes.
Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits, and policymakers have taken note. For instance, about half the states in America have required more teaching of handwriting. ____20____ Although nearly all will eventually need typing skills, in an age of typing, handwriting still matters.
A. Studies have found that handwriting can benefit a lot.
B. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing.
C. But today a different debate is raging about the dangers of typing.
D. In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting books and fewer devices.
E. However, several schools in America have gone so far to ban most laptops.
F. It helps students recall a random series of words and grasp complicated concepts better.
G. One of the best-demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in superior note-taking.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Elaine walked out the door of Petty’s Fine Foods, clutching a bag of pies. She was not a fearful person. But as she headed toward her parked car, the graying grandmother of three couldn’t help noticing two young men trailing behind her on the sidewalk. “Are they following me?” she wondered. It was a sunlit May afternoon in Utica Square,an upmarket shopping complex — hardly the time or place for street crime. Elaine shook off her fear. There are dozens of people around here. I’m not in any danger.
But as she shifted her bag and opened the door to her Toyota, one of the men rushed up to the car. He blocked her in on one side, while the other pushed her and then wordlessly ripped the white leather bag from her shoulder.Both men took off running. Inside the bag were her credit cards and $11. But that’s not what made her frantic.
The robbers had her house keys and driver’s license — with her address. Elaine’s six-year-old grand-daughter was at home with the nanny (保姆). Extremely angry, she screamed, “They stole my purse!”
About 15 feet away, Erin had just emerged from the post office. Erin often worked with elderly clients who also looked to her for emotional support. Erin had a good understanding of their loneliness, listened to their concerns.
Now she heard the terror in Elaine’s voice and saw the two men running across the lot. They’re going to be gone if someone doesn’t do something, she realized. The other shoppers seemed unaware. So Erin made a quick call. She’d make enough noise to get everyone’s attention. Hopefully somebody would stop the thieves.
At 50, Erin was by no means an athlete. Nor was she dressed for a chase. Still, she had to keep the men in sight until help arrived. Clutching her purse and wallet in one hand and her stamps in the other, she sprinted after them.
