The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited Tarangire to see what it was like. Upon entering the park, one of the first sightings found was a huge group of elephants. Our guide told us that Tarangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large groups of elephants, and that their population in the park was around 2,500. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch. To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree! Our guide informed us that this was a baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of years. Compared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs (much smaller plants or animals)! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best national parks in Africa to see so many baobab trees. As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us. It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them were resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed just to our right, there were a couple of fresh zebra bodies—it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them! We were unlucky not to have seen the kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra bodies were fresh and the kill had happened within the last hour. Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We stopped at a place where there were quite many cars, with a sleeping leopard (豹) there! We took photos and watched its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late. So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route. 1．Which statement is correct about the park? A．It covers an area about 2,580 square kilometers. B．It is the largest park of its kind in the country. C．The elephant population in the park was around 2,000.

Marie Curie is probably the most famous woman scientist in the world. She was the first person in history to receive two Nobel Prizes.

During the First World War, over one million soldiers were treated with the help of these X-ray machines. She also produced instruments to keep soldiers’ wounds clean.

As a son or daughter, you may also want to make your parents proud. Here are certain suggestions you can follow. Talk to Them as Often as You Can All parents want their children to trust them enough and talk to them when they are happy and when they are feeling down. Therefore, don’t be afraid to call your parents when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, just as the same way you would call them when you are happy. Share your achievements, both big and small. Your parents are your biggest cheerleaders (支持者). Have Patience with Them One of the best things you can do for your parents is to be patient with them, which makes them feel loved and appreciated (重视的). As they grow older, you need to understand that they become slower or may do things differently from the way they used to. Therefore be patient with them. Be Helpful If you live at home, you can be a good son or daughter by helping around with housework. Start by making sure that your parents don’t have to clean for you. Keep your room tidy and help to keep other areas of the home clean. Help with washing, making dinner and even setting up the table. Helping around makes sure they have time to rest and do other things. It feels good when they know they have someone who can keep things together at home. 1．What can people talk to their parents about according to Paragraph 2? A．Something happy or sad they’re facing. B．Everything their friends have. C．Only their big achievements. D．Only about something happy. 2．Which behavior (行为) shows the second suggestion? A．Jack often made video calls to his parents. B．Tom shared his school life with his parents. C．Alice taught her parents to use the computer for 2 hours. D．Mary helps her parents with the housework once a week. 3．This passage may be written for ________. A．experts B．parents C．teachers D．children Mum and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. They’re likely to influence you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mum loves to read, you might grow up carrying a book wherever you go just as she does. Here are four ways you can stay close and get along well with your parents. Spend time together. It might be easy to be in the same place as your mum or dad. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, you can ask your mum and dad to play with you. You may go outside together, try a board game, or read a book loudly together. Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re in trouble. But your mum or dad might not know that you’re having a problem. Tell them when you’re sad or having trouble. If you don’t usually do this, it can be strange at first. Try it and you’ll feel better. Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mum or dad. You can make your parents happy by giving them a card or telling a joke to them. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to clean up his or her room without being asked. Show your care. It’s important to show that you care about your parents. Kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, kissing and being helpful, polite and kind. 1．What does the writer mean in the last sentence of Paragraph 1? A．Parents tell their kids to bring a book wherever they go. B．Mother teaches their kids to read books. C．Parents have a great influence on their kids. D．Children don’t like to learn from their parents. 2．Which of the following is a good way to get along well with parents? A．Stay with your computer games and do not bother (打扰) your parents.

If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane’s Museum. The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect (建筑师), lived in London during the 18th century (1753-1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time. There are three floors which are open to the public (公众). You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about his family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series (系列) of interesting paintings about 18th century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures (雕塑) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see. Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum. There is a free hour-long guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 pm, but the best thing is just to walk about by yourself. So now you know where to go next time you’re in London.

And many of them find that their pain keeps coming back. ________ But scientists believe that doing one simple thing could help: walking. Scientists invited 700 people to take part in a study. Most were women and all of them had recently experienced back pain. The people were put into two groups. One group took part in a walking program and had six meetings with a doctor. People in this group were asked to walk half an hour five days a week, while those in the other group didn’t do anything. The scientists followed up the two groups for three years. The scientists’ findings are surprising. People in the walking group had an average (平均) of 208 days before their back pain recurred, while those in the other group felt the pain again after an average of 112 days. What’s more, people in the walking group also made far fewer visits to the doctor. Why is walking helpful to lower back pain? Scientists are not yet certain of the reasons. But they think it’s probably because walking can get the muscles (肌肉) stronger and improve sleep. As for how to walk, they suggest walking on a flat (平整的) surface. People also should listen to their bodies, as walking too far or for too long could make the pain worse. 1．Which of the following can be put in “_______” in Paragraph 1? A．Why does this happen? B．How to stop the back pain? C．Have you ever experienced back pain? D．Back pain is quite common and painful. 2．How long were the people in the walking program asked to walk each day? A．5 minutes.

A．They had better walk on a hill. B．They should walk at a high speed. C．They had better walk as far as possible.

A．Walking Might Cheer Us Up B．Walking Could Make Us Stronger C．Walking Might Improve Our Sleep D．Walking Could Lower Back Pain Preparing for an exam can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.

The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited Tarangire to see what it was like. Upon entering the park, one of the first sightings found was a huge group of elephants. Our guide told us that Tarangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large groups of elephants, and that their population in the park was around 2,500. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch. To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree! Our guide informed us that this was a baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of years. Compared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs (much smaller plants or animals)! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best national parks in Africa to see so many baobab trees. As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us. It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them were resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed just to our right, there were a couple of fresh zebra bodies—it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them! We were unlucky not to have seen the kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra bodies were fresh and the kill had happened within the last hour. Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We stopped at a place where there were quite many cars, with a sleeping leopard (豹) there! We took photos and watched its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late. So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route. 1．Which statement is correct about the park? A．It covers an area about 2,580 square kilometers. B．It is the largest park of its kind in the country. C．The elephant population in the park was around 2,000. D．There are a lot of baobab trees in the park. 2．What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 2? A．They moved their bodies against the trees to solve the skin problem. B．They rested under the trees, doing nothing, just for killing the time. C．They helped each other to scrape off the dirty things on their bodies.

The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited Tarangire to see what it was like.”可知，本文主要讲述了作者游览塔兰吉雷国家公园的经历，包括看到了大象群、猴面包树、狮子以及美洲豹等动物，并描述了公园的特色和自己的感受。因此，选项C“游览塔兰吉雷国家公园”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 On December 4, 2024, “the Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year” was added to the intangible cultural heritage list by UNESCO*.

They’re likely to influence you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mum loves to read, you might grow up carrying a book wherever you go just as she does. Here are four ways you can stay close and get along well with your parents. Spend time together. It might be easy to be in the same place as your mum or dad. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, you can ask your mum and dad to play with you. You may go outside together, try a board game, or read a book loudly together. Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re in trouble. But your mum or dad might not know that you’re having a problem. Tell them when you’re sad or having trouble. If you don’t usually do this, it can be strange at first. Try it and you’ll feel better. Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mum or dad. You can make your parents happy by giving them a card or telling a joke to them. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to clean up his or her room without being asked. Show your care. It’s important to show that you care about your parents.

Most were women and all of them had recently experienced back pain. The people were put into two groups. One group took part in a walking program and had six meetings with a doctor. People in this group were asked to walk half an hour five days a week, while those in the other group didn’t do anything. The scientists followed up the two groups for three years. The scientists’ findings are surprising. People in the walking group had an average (平均) of 208 days before their back pain recurred, while those in the other group felt the pain again after an average of 112 days. What’s more, people in the walking group also made far fewer visits to the doctor. Why is walking helpful to lower back pain? Scientists are not yet certain of the reasons. But they think it’s probably because walking can get the muscles (肌肉) stronger and improve sleep. As for how to walk, they suggest walking on a flat (平整的) surface. People also should listen to their bodies, as walking too far or for too long could make the pain worse. 1．Which of the following can be put in “_______” in Paragraph 1? A．Why does this happen? B．How to stop the back pain? C．Have you ever experienced back pain? D．Back pain is quite common and painful. 2．How long were the people in the walking program asked to walk each day? A．5 minutes. B．30 minutes. C．1 hour. D．2 hours. 3．What does the underlined word “recurred” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Grew. B．Began. C．Returned. D．Remained. 4．How should people walk according to the last paragraph? A．They had better walk on a hill. B．They should walk at a high speed. C．They had better walk as far as possible. D．They should control the time of walking. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Walking Might Cheer Us Up B．Walking Could Make Us Stronger C．Walking Might Improve Our Sleep D．Walking Could Lower Back Pain 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了全球有大量人遭受背痛困扰，且背痛易反复发作。科学家通过一项研究发现，走路这一简单行为有助于降低背痛发作频率，并探讨了走路对背痛有益的可能原因以及走路时的注意事项。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“And many of them find that their pain keeps coming back.”以及“But scientists believe that doing one simple thing could help: walking.”可知，前文提到很多人背痛反复发作，后文说科学家认为做一件简单的事（散步）有帮助，所以此处应该是询问如何阻止背痛再次发作。B选项“如何阻止背痛？”符合语境，引出后文关于解决办法的内容。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“People in this group were asked to walk half an hour five days a week”可知，参加步行项目的人被要求每周五天，每天步行半小时。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“People in the walking group had an average (平均) of 208 days before their back pain recurred, while those in the other group felt the pain again after an average of 112 days.”可知，步行组的人平均在208天后背痛再次发作，而另一组的人平均在112天后就再次感到疼痛，所以“recurred”意为“再次发作”，与“Returned”意思相近。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“As for how to walk, they suggest walking on a flat (平整的) surface. People also should listen to their bodies, as walking too far or for too long could make the pain worse.”可知，人们应该控制步行的时间，以免走得太远或太久使疼痛加剧。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“But scientists believe that doing one simple thing could help: walking.”以及后文对走路有助于降低背痛发作频率的研究和解释，可知文章主要讲述了走路可能有助于降低背痛，D选项“走路可能降低背痛”符合文章主旨，是最佳标题。故选D。 Preparing for an exam can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. There’s no need to stress out or cram (突击准备). By doing a couple of simple things, you will be confident and ready for anything that comes up on the test. ◆Start studying early.
