A recent report by the Ministry of Education shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation. The news doesn’t come as a surprise though, as previous studies have highlighted the “dialect crisis” in other parts of China as well.
He Hongzhi, of the Beijing Municipal Language Commission, owes this problem to migration and the promotion of Putonghua. “With rapid social development over recent years, an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China. However, people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other, threatening the existence of dialects,” he told Beijing Daily.
“For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns, dialect is an important symbol of identity and a constant reminder of where they come from,” commentator Li Yue wrote on Daily Sunshine.
Dialects also reflect history and embody local culture. The Beijing dialect, for example, though being a language of the Han ethnic group, shows traces of Mongolian and Manchu languages. Mongolian and Manchu are ethnic groups who had ruled Beijing during the Yuan and Qing dynasties respectively. The Mongolian word hutong and the Manchu word Sachima (a common Chinese pastry) now appear in the Beijing dialect.
To preserve these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission has maintained databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects, while may areas such as Beijing, Shanhai and Zhejiang province have established museums dedicated to local dialects.
But all these efforts are still not enough in keeping dialects from fading away. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect” to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.
24. According to the passage, the Beijing dialect is declining because of ________.
A. its little attraction B. differences and the promotion of Putonghua
C. migration and the promotion of Putonghua D. rapid social development over recent years
25. Which of the following is TRUE about dialects?
A. Dialects reflect a person’s hometown and education.
B. Dialects play an important role in Chinese history and culture.
C. Dialects make it hard for people to communicate with each other.
D. The Beijing dialect is mainly a mix of Mongolian and Manchu languages.
26. We can infer from the text that ________.
A. we should speak less Putonghua
B. the young hate to speak their dialects
C. the young may not realize the value of their dialects
D. the celebrities should use more dialects in daily life
27. What’s the author’s attitude towards preserving dialects?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了北京方言因人口流动和普通话推广而衰落,保护方言需多方努力。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He Hongzhi, of the Beijing Municipal Language Commission, owes this problem to migration and the promotion of Putonghua.(北京市语言委员会的何宏志将这个问题归因于人口流动和普通话的推广。)”可知,北京方言的衰落是因为人口流动和普通话的推广。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Dialects also reflect history and embody local culture.(方言也反映历史,体现当地文化。)”可知,方言在中国历史和文化中扮演着重要的角色,所以“Dialects play an important role in Chinese history and culture.”是正确表述。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But all these efforts are still not enough in keeping dialects from fading away. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect” to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.(但是,所有这些努力仍然不足以阻止方言的消失。一个更有效的措施是利用流行歌曲和“名人效应”等元素来吸引年轻人使用方言。他们需要意识到,说自己的方言是一件值得骄傲的事情。)”可推知,年轻人可能没有意识到他们方言的价值。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“To preserve these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission has maintained databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects, while may areas such as Beijing, Shanhai and Zhejiang province have established museums dedicated to local dialects.(为了保护这些珍贵的历史部分,国家语言委员会自2008年以来一直维护着涵盖不同地方方言的数据库,而北京、上海和浙江省等许多地区都建立了专门的地方方言博物馆。)”以及最后一段“But all these efforts are still not enough in keeping dialects from fading away. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect” to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.(但是,所有这些努力仍然不足以阻止方言的消失。一个更有效的措施是利用流行歌曲和“名人效应”等元素来吸引年轻人使用方言。他们需要意识到,说自己的方言是一件值得骄傲的事情。)”可推知,作者对于保护方言持支持态度。故选B。
C
While technological advancements have enhanced the convenience of urban commuting in recent years, environmental studies reveal a worrying decline in urban green spaces, especially in densely populated districts. Many residents complain that there’s insufficient access to nature-filled areas for relaxation and exercise, so they end up spending more time indoors, relying on virtual entertainment.
Urban planners Lila Chen and Ryan Moore are deeply troubled by such issues. In their newly released book Green Living: Reclaim Our Cities’ Natural Spaces, they call for a fundamental rethinking of urban design and the role greenery should play in our daily lives.
The landscape of urban living began to shift decades ago. Vast areas of natural vegetation were cleared to make room for sprawling concrete structures and commercial centers, forcing residents to seek nature in distant suburbs. Some grassroots groups fought back. Most notably, a community organizer from Seattle, who relocated to the city in the early 2000s, launched a movement to save a local wetlands area from being converted into a shopping mall. Expressing her outrage at the planned destruction, Emily Clark appealed to the city council to “Preserve Seattle as a city where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously, not just a place of concrete and commerce.” Similar initiatives took place in other major cities across the country in the 2010s.
Although these initiatives gained public attention, the harsh reality is that the majority of modern cities remain overwhelmingly dominated by urban development at the expense of green spaces. The coverage of natural areas in cities has been shrinking steadily. In California, for instance, the ratio of urban green spaces to total city area has dropped to a record low, even as the state promotes environmental protection campaigns.
We invest substantial resources in building urban infrastructure that prioritizes speed and efficiency, yet we neglect to consider the true value of green spaces. Do we fully comprehend the social and psychological costs when citizens lack easy access to natural environments for mental rejuvenation?

【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市发展以牺牲城市绿地为代价,虽然提高了便利性,但给环境和人们的健康生活带来了巨大威胁。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While technological advancements have enhanced the convenience of urban commuting in recent years, environmental studies reveal a worrying decline in urban green spaces, especially in densely populated districts. Many residents complain that there’s insufficient access to nature-filled areas for relaxation and exercise, so they end up spending more time indoors, relying on virtual entertainment.(近年来,尽管科技进步提升了城市通勤的便利性,但环境研究显示,城市绿地正以令人担忧的速度减少,在人口密集区域尤为明显。许多居民抱怨,能够供他们放松和锻炼的自然区域不足,因此他们不得不更多地待在室内,依赖虚拟娱乐打发时间)”可知,作者在第一段主要强调了城市绿地减少导致居民生活方式的改变。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Most notably, a community organizer from Seattle, who relocated to the city in the early 2000s, launched a movement to save a local wetlands area from being converted into a shopping mall. Expressing her outrage at the planned destruction, Emily Clark appealed to the city council to “Preserve Seattle as a city where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously, not just a place of concrete and commerce.” Similar initiatives took place in other major cities across the country in the 2010s.(最值得关注的是,一位21世纪初移居西雅图的社区组织者发起了一场运动,旨在阻止当地一片湿地被改建成购物中心。埃米莉・克拉克对这一计划中的破坏行为表示愤怒,她向市议会呼吁:“要将西雅图打造成自然与城市生活和谐共存的城市,而不只是一座充斥着混凝土建筑和商业活动的地方。”)”可知,西雅图社区组织者和其他活动者试图守护城市自然空间,追求平衡生活方式。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The coverage of natural areas in cities has been shrinking steadily. In California, for instance, the ratio of urban green spaces to total city area has dropped to a record low, even as the state promotes environmental protection campaigns.(城市自然区域的覆盖面积一直在稳步缩小。例如,在加州,城市绿地占城市总面积的比例已降至历史最低水平,尽管该州正在推动环保运动)”推知,21世纪初加州的环保活动未能扭转绿地面积不断萎缩的趋势。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合最后一段“We invest substantial resources in building urban infrastructure that prioritizes speed and efficiency, yet we neglect to consider the true value of green spaces. Do we fully comprehend the social and psychological costs when citizens lack easy access to natural environments for mental rejuvenation? The authors of Green Living are spot-on: it’s high time we re-evaluate the urban landscapes right outside our homes.(我们投入大量资源建设以速度和效率为优先的城市基础设施,却忽视了绿地的真正价值。当市民难以就近接触自然环境以滋养心灵时,我们是否充分意识到其中的社会成本与心理代价?《绿色生活》的作者们说得很对:是时候重新审视我们家门口的城市风貌了)”可知,文章主要介绍了城市发展以牺牲城市绿地为代价,虽然提高了便利性,但给环境和人们的健康生活带来了巨大威胁,因此A项“Urban Rush: Sacrificing Nature?(都市快速发展:牺牲自然?)”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
D
A new study gives all of us some extra motivation when it comes to getting outside and exercising: every day you manage to fit in an additional one-hour walk, you could be boosting your lifespan by an extra six hours. That’s the approximate benefit if you’ re currently in the 25 percent least active people in the US, according to fitness tracker data analyzed by a team led by researchers from Griffith University in Australia.
If you’ re in the top 25 percent, an extra walk isn’t as much of a boost—you’ve already received most of the health benefits from exercise— but the study also highlights and quantifies some of the key benefits of an active life.“If all individuals were as active as the top 25 percent of the population, Americans over the age of 40 could live an extra 5.3 years on average,” write the researchers in their published paper. “It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.”
The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan. In this particular study, data on 824 participants were excluded because they didn’t wear the trackers for long enough.
Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention— whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well- being.
32. What does the new study find?
A. Walking can cure some diseases effectively.
B. Perhaps daily walking can extend our lifespan.
C. Increasing exercise mostly benefits active people.
D. The less active people must exercise an hour a day.
33. How much daily walking is roughly needed to reach the top 25% active group?
A. Nine seconds. B. One hour. C. Three hours. D. Five hours.
34. What is the function of Paragraph 3?
A. Giving the examples. B. Analyzing the data.
C. Predicting the effect. D. Explaining the method.
35. Why does the author mention “nine seconds a week to grow muscle” in the last paragraph?
A. To compare three different types of exercise.
B. To emphasize the flexibility in setting exercise goals.
C. To demonstrate the precision of modern exercise research.
D. To highlight the advantage of walking over strength training.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现,每天额外散步一小时可能会延长寿命。这一结论基于对美国国家健康和营养调查数据的分析。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的关键信息“every day you manage to fit in an additional one-hour walk, you could be boosting your lifespan by an extra six hours (如果你每天能额外挤出一小时散步,你可能会让自己的寿命延长六个小时)”可知,新研究发现每天散步可能有助于延长寿命。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“‘It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.’(要达到最活跃的四分之一人群的水平,可以是任何类型的锻炼,但大致相当于每天散步三小时。)”可知,为了达到最活跃的25%人群的水平,每天大概需要散步三小时。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan.(该研究团队分析了来自美国国家健康和营养调查(NHANES)的可穿戴设备活动数据,该调查每年招募5000名志愿者。为了计算活动水平的变化如何影响死亡风险,研究人员将NHANES的结果与生命表模型(在特定年龄点追踪死亡率)以及之前关于运动和寿命的研究进行了对照。)”可知,第三段详细解释了研究团队是如何进行研究的,包括数据来源、研究方法和参考的模型等。因此,第三段的作用是解释研究方法。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的关键信息“Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention— whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well-being.”(虽然运动能延长寿命的说法并不新鲜,但量化和简化这些益处能引起人们的注意——无论是每天五分钟降血压,还是每周九秒增肌。现在有了新的目标:每天额外散步一小时。如果你觉得这个目标太令人沮丧,那就记住,任何运动量都对健康有益。)可知,作者提到“每周九秒增肌”是为了强调设定锻炼目标的灵活性,即使每天不能达到额外的散步一小时,任何运动量都是有价值的。因此,选项B“To emphasize the flexibility in setting exercise goals.(为了强调设定锻炼目标的灵活性)”符合题意。故选B。
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。
While long distance friendships might require some planning and creativity to keep up, there’s no reason to let physical distance keep you from staying connected. ____36____.
Be clear and intentional about keeping your long distance friends
Whether you’ve just moved away from your friends or you’ve been apart for years, long distance friendships require a two-way commitment. That means reaching out, finding time to hang out and showing your friends you value them. ____37____. Remember that they value you, too.
Use common interests to feel connected
Develop an “anchor” for your friendship. An anchor is something that you have in common that acts as a trigger to reach out to each other. Maybe you both love cooking, so you each send photos of the new dishes you make with a link to the recipe. Or you both love, let’s say, the HBO show Euphoria, and you text to discuss after each episode comes out. ____38____.
____39____
If you feel like your communication is difficult because of distance, your friends probably feel that way too, so don’t be afraid to be the first one to reach out. When phone calls won’t cut it, think about a visit. Visiting is one of the most important things we can do to keep a long distance friendship going.
Address conflicts openly
____40____. There’s just a limited amount of time you get with your friends, so it’s easy to let conflicts go unaddressed. Try not to sweep things under the rug. In fact, addressing conflict is one of the ways you can become closer with your friends.
A. But it’s all worth it
B. And it goes both ways
C. Don’t hesitate to reach out
D. Make every effort to make it count
E. Separation is hard, and miscommunication happens
F. Here are some effective ways to maintain such friendships
G. It doesn’t really matter what it is, as long as it helps you initiate a connection
【答案】36. F 37. B 38. G 39. C 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在成年后因学习、工作或家庭原因导致朋友分离的情况下,如何维持异地友谊的方法。
【36题详解】
上文提到“While long distance friendships might require some planning and creativity to keep up, there’s no reason to let physical distance keep you from staying connected.(虽然异地友谊可能需要一些计划和创造力来维持,但没有理由让物理距离阻碍你们保持联系)”,说明要探讨维持异地友谊的话题。 F选项“Here are some effective ways to maintain such friendships(以下是一些维持这种友谊的有效方法)”,直接引出下文要介绍的具体维持异地友谊的方法,承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【37题详解】
前文说“Whether you’ve just moved away from your friends or you’ve been apart for years, long distance friendships require a two - way commitment. That means reaching out, finding time to hang out and showing your friends you value them.(无论你是刚刚离开朋友,还是已经分开多年,异地友谊都需要双向的承诺。这意味着要主动联系,找时间相聚,并向朋友表明你重视他们)”。 B选项“And it goes both ways(这是双向的)”,进一步强调了异地友谊双向承诺这一特点,与前文紧密呼应,符合语境。故选B。
【38题详解】
由上文“Maybe you both love cooking, so you each send photos of the new dishes you make with a link to the recipe. Or you both love, let’s say, the HBO show Euphoria, and you text to discuss after each episode comes out. (也许你们都喜欢烹饪,所以你们各自发送自己做的新菜的照片,并附上食谱链接。或者假设你们都喜欢HBO的《亢奋》,每集播出后你们都会发短信讨论)”可知,本空应说明这些共同兴趣的作用,G选项“It doesn’t really matter what it is, as long as it helps you initiate a connection (是什么并不重要,只要它能帮助你建立联系)”符合逻辑,其中“it”指代前文提到的共同兴趣。故选G。
【39题详解】
由后文“If you feel like your communication is difficult because of distance, your friends probably feel that way too, so don’t be afraid to be the first one to reach out. When phone calls won’t cut it, think about a visit. (如果你因为距离而觉得沟通困难,你的朋友可能也有同样的感觉,所以不要害怕成为第一个主动联系的人。当电话不起作用时,考虑拜访一下)”可知,本空应建议主动联系,C选项“Don’t hesitate to reach out (不要犹豫,主动联系)”开门见山,点明主题,适合作为标题。故选C。
【40题详解】
由上文“Address conflicts openly (公开处理冲突)”以及后文“There’s just a limited amount of time you get with your friends, so it’s easy to let conflicts go unaddressed. (你和朋友在一起的时间有限,所以很容易让冲突得不到解决)”可知,本空应说明产生冲突的原因,E选项“Separation is hard, and miscommunication happens (分离是痛苦的,误解也会发生)”符合语境,为后文处理冲突的建议做铺垫。故选E。

First, it helps to combat the negative effects of prolonged sitting, such as back pain and stiffness. Second, it can improve your focus and concentration, making it easier to stay engaged in class. Lastly, it promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, which is essential for overall well-being.

67. 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。
In the crowded center of our school, where the chatter of students filled the air, one individual stood out—my deaf classmate, Alex. His world was a silent canvas, shaped by the gestures of sign language, a language he knew profoundly, and one that I was eager to explore. Despite the lively environment, Alex moved through his day with a quiet grace, his hands gesturing smoothly as he communicated with those who understood him. However, for many of us, his gestures were a mystery, creating an invisible barrier between him and the rest of the student body.
This barrier became strikingly apparent when I noticed how effortlessly Alex interacted with the few students and teachers fluent in sign language. With them, he was a different person—confident, expressive, and fully engaged. The transformation was remarkable; the barrier that seemed so overwhelming with us was non-existent with them. He laughed more and participated more. It was clear that in those moments, Alex was not just surviving in a silent world but thriving in a language that allowed him to be his true self.
I remember the first time I saw him struggle to communicate with us. We were in the cafeteria, and Alex was trying to explain something important. His eyes were searching for understanding, his hands tracing patterns in the air that were lost on us. The frustration on his face was evident, and the helplessness we all felt was equally disheartening. Simple tasks, like asking for directions or participating in group discussions, became significant challenges for Alex. He often had to rely on written notes or the limited knowledge of sign language that a few of our classmates possessed.
These daily struggles were a constant reminder of the communication barrier that existed. It was during one particularly difficult group project that the reality hit me hard. Alex had brilliant ideas, but conveying them was a painstaking process. His eyes would light up with enthusiasm, only to fade with disappointment when we couldn’t understand his signs.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

At that moment, I realized that we should do something.

It was time for another group project and we were ready.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
At that moment, I realized that we should do something. I made a proposal that we learn sign language together. To my delight, many of them showed great enthusiasm, eager to bridge the gap and help Alex feel more included. We formed a small group and started meeting after school to practice. Together, we shared resources, supported each other and celebrated every bit of progress we made. With each passing day, our sense of achievement and pride as a team grew, and we couldn’t wait to use our new skills to make a difference.
It was time for another group project and we were ready. As we gathered around the table, we greeted Alex with simple gestures we had just learned. At the sight of sign language, Alex’s face lit up with astonishment and joy. With our joined efforts, we could understand each other easily and we communicated smoothly in the whole process. The pride we felt in breaking down the invisible barrier was immeasurable, and the happiness in Alex’s eyes made every effort worthwhile. That day, we realized we not just understood a language, but also created a space where everyone felt valued and heard.

Alaina Gassler
Alaina won the $25,000 Samueli Foundation Prize for the project of reducing blind spots in cars. She was inspired to solve this issue by her mother who didn’t like driving her vehicle because its large A-pillar (A柱) design made her feel in danger. “I started to think about how blind spots were a huge problem in all cars,” said Alaina. So she worked on and solved it.

A recent report by the Ministry of Education shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation. The news doesn’t come as a surprise though, as previous studies have highlighted the “dialect crisis” in other parts of China as well.
He Hongzhi, of the Beijing Municipal Language Commission, owes this problem to migration and the promotion of Putonghua. “With rapid social development over recent years, an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China. However, people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other, threatening the existence of dialects,” he told Beijing Daily.
“For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns, dialect is an important symbol of identity and a constant reminder of where they come from,” commentator Li Yue wrote on Daily Sunshine.
Dialects also reflect history and embody local culture. The Beijing dialect, for example, though being a language of the Han ethnic group, shows traces of Mongolian and Manchu languages. Mongolian and Manchu are ethnic groups who had ruled Beijing during the Yuan and Qing dynasties respectively. The Mongolian word hutong and the Manchu word Sachima (a common Chinese pastry) now appear in the Beijing dialect.
To preserve these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission has maintained databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects, while may areas such as Beijing, Shanhai and Zhejiang province have established museums dedicated to local dialects.
But all these efforts are still not enough in keeping dialects from fading away. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect” to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.
24. According to the passage, the Beijing dialect is declining because of ________.
A. its little attraction B. differences and the promotion of Putonghua
C. migration and the promotion of Putonghua D. rapid social development over recent years
25. Which of the following is TRUE about dialects?
A. Dialects reflect a person’s hometown and education.
B. Dialects play an important role in Chinese history and culture.
C. Dialects make it hard for people to communicate with each other.
D. The Beijing dialect is mainly a mix of Mongolian and Manchu languages.
26. We can infer from the text that ________.
A. we should speak less Putonghua
B. the young hate to speak their dialects
C. the young may not realize the value of their dialects
D. the celebrities should use more dialects in daily life
27. What’s the author’s attitude towards preserving dialects?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
C
While technological advancements have enhanced the convenience of urban commuting in recent years, environmental studies reveal a worrying decline in urban green spaces, especially in densely populated districts. Many residents complain that there’s insufficient access to nature-filled areas for relaxation and exercise, so they end up spending more time indoors, relying on virtual entertainment.
Urban planners Lila Chen and Ryan Moore are deeply troubled by such issues. In their newly released book Green Living: Reclaim Our Cities’ Natural Spaces, they call for a fundamental rethinking of urban design and the role greenery should play in our daily lives.
The landscape of urban living began to shift decades ago. Vast areas of natural vegetation were cleared to make room for sprawling concrete structures and commercial centers, forcing residents to seek nature in distant suburbs. Some grassroots groups fought back. Most notably, a community organizer from Seattle, who relocated to the city in the early 2000s, launched a movement to save a local wetlands area from being converted into a shopping mall. Expressing her outrage at the planned destruction, Emily Clark appealed to the city council to “Preserve Seattle as a city where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously, not just a place of concrete and commerce.” Similar initiatives took place in other major cities across the country in the 2010s.
Although these initiatives gained public attention, the harsh reality is that the majority of modern cities remain overwhelmingly dominated by urban development at the expense of green spaces. The coverage of natural areas in cities has been shrinking steadily. In California, for instance, the ratio of urban green spaces to total city area has dropped to a record low, even as the state promotes environmental protection campaigns.
We invest substantial resources in building urban infrastructure that prioritizes speed and efficiency, yet we neglect to consider the true value of green spaces. Do we fully comprehend the social and psychological costs when citizens lack easy access to natural environments for mental rejuvenation? The authors of Green Living are spot-on: it’s high time we re-evaluate the urban landscapes right outside our homes.
28. What phenomenon does the author highlight in paragraph 1?
A. Urban commuting has become overly dependent on technology.
B. The reduction of urban green spaces leads to lifestyle changes.
C. Virtual entertainment is replacing outdoor activities completely.
D. Residents in densely populated areas have limited access to jobs.
29. What were the Seattle community organizer and other activists attempting to achieve?
A. Expand commercial development in urban areas.
B. Relocate residents to distant suburbs with more greenery.
C. Safeguard urban natural spaces for a balanced lifestyle.
D. Promote the construction of more shopping malls in wetlands.
30. What can be inferred about the initiatives in California in the 2010s?
A. They successfully increased the ratio of urban green spaces.
B. They failed to reverse the trend of shrinking green areas.
C. They led to a surge in environmental protection donations.
D. They resulted in the closure of all commercial construction projects.
31. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?
A. Urban Rush: Sacrificing Nature? B. Tech Advance: A Double-edged Sword?
C. Green Spaces: A Luxury or Necessity? D. Community Activism: A Lost Cause?
D
A new study gives all of us some extra motivation when it comes to getting outside and exercising: every day you manage to fit in an additional one-hour walk, you could be boosting your lifespan by an extra six hours. That’s the approximate benefit if you’ re currently in the 25 percent least active people in the US, according to fitness tracker data analyzed by a team led by researchers from Griffith University in Australia.
If you’ re in the top 25 percent, an extra walk isn’t as much of a boost—you’ve already received most of the health benefits from exercise— but the study also highlights and quantifies some of the key benefits of an active life.“If all individuals were as active as the top 25 percent of the population, Americans over the age of 40 could live an extra 5.3 years on average,” write the researchers in their published paper. “It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.”
The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan. In this particular study, data on 824 participants were excluded because they didn’t wear the trackers for long enough.
Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention— whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well- being.
32. What does the new study find?
A. Walking can cure some diseases effectively.
B. Perhaps daily walking can extend our lifespan.
C. Increasing exercise mostly benefits active people.
D. The less active people must exercise an hour a day.
33. How much daily walking is roughly needed to reach the top 25% active group?
A. Nine seconds. B. One hour. C. Three hours. D. Five hours.
34. What is the function of Paragraph 3?
A. Giving the examples. B. Analyzing the data.
C. Predicting the effect. D. Explaining the method.
35. Why does the author mention “nine seconds a week to grow muscle” in the last paragraph?
A. To compare three different types of exercise.
B. To emphasize the flexibility in setting exercise goals.
C. To demonstrate the precision of modern exercise research.
D. To highlight the advantage of walking over strength training.

When phone calls won’t cut it, think about a visit. Visiting is one of the most important things we can do to keep a long distance friendship going.
Address conflicts openly

A. But it’s all worth it
B. And it goes both ways
C. Don’t hesitate to reach out

In the crowded center of our school, where the chatter of students filled the air, one individual stood out—my deaf classmate, Alex. His world was a silent canvas, shaped by the gestures of sign language, a language he knew profoundly, and one that I was eager to explore. Despite the lively environment, Alex moved through his day with a quiet grace, his hands gesturing smoothly as he communicated with those who understood him. However, for many of us, his gestures were a mystery, creating an invisible barrier between him and the rest of the student body.
This barrier became strikingly apparent when I noticed how effortlessly Alex interacted with the few students and teachers fluent in sign language. With them, he was a different person—confident, expressive, and fully engaged. The transformation was remarkable; the barrier that seemed so overwhelming with us was non-existent with them. He laughed more and participated more. It was clear that in those moments, Alex was not just surviving in a silent world but thriving in a language that allowed him to be his true self.
