When Miss Lyons finished typing the rules, it was almost class time, and I was anxious to get down to the gym.I took the rules and made my way down the stairs.Just inside the door there was a bulletin board for notices.With thumb tacks (图钉) I fastened the rules to this board and then walked across the gym.I was sure in my own mind that the game was good, but it needed a real test.I felt that its success or failure depended largely on the way that the class received it.
The first member of the class to arrive was Frank Mahan.He was a southerner from North Carolina, had played tackle (阻截队员) on the football team, and was the ringleader of the group.He saw me standing with a ball in my hand, and perhaps guessed that another experiment was to be tried.He looked up at the basket at one end of the gallery, and then his eyes turned to me.He stared at me for an instant, and then looked towards the other end of the gym.Perhaps he was nervous, because his cry sounded like a death knell(丧钟声) as he said, “Huh! Another new game!”
When the class arrived, I called the roll and told them that I had another game, which I felt sure would be good.I promised them that if this was a failure, I would not try any more experiments.I then read the rules from the bulletin board and proceeded to organize the game.There were eighteen men in the class; I selected two captains and had them choose sides.When the teams were chosen, I placed the men on the floor.There were three forwards, three centers, and three backs on each team.I chose two of the center men to jump, then threw the ball between them.It was the start of the first basketball game and the end of the trouble with that class.

For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who've never heard of pickleball, the littleknown paddleball game is one of America's fastestgrowing sports.
Invented in 1965 by three middleaged fathers in Washington State, pickleball is an odd cross among tennis, pingpong and badminton, played with a paddle and a perforated(穿孔的) plastic ball.The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.
Most of pickleball's core players — those who play more than eight times per year — are over age 65, but the game is getting younger, with the strongest growth among players under 55, according to US Pickleball.But with so many new players, the US is struggling to keep up with the demand for courts.The country has only about 10,000 places to play, by US Pickleball's count, but that continues to grow by several dozens every month.
Pickleball is also fast becoming a spectator sport.Its first professional tournament, the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour, was formed in 2018 and the professional players are being able to really become celebrities and spotlights.Traditional broadcasters' interest in the sport is growing.So far, pickleball fans can watch amateur and professional matches on sports or social channels, mostly online.
“The ability for a sport to find an audience quickly via social media is unprecedented(前所未有的),” says Ben Shields, who lectures at MIT Sloan School of Management and studies the sports industry.Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences, who has been the key to success for other sports leagues— that also started with grassroots and unusual names.“I think if pickleball, in its own humble way, can continue to grow its participation and find ways to make the sport an appealing fan product, who knows, 10 or 20 years later, it could be a big competitor in the global sports industry.”

5.What do we know about the pickleball game from the text?
A.It was named after a dog.
B.It was popular among young kids.
C.It's a cross between tennis and volleyball.
D.It was invented by three ordinary women.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.” 可知,板手球运动是以一条狗的名字命名的,故选A。
6.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The playing time.
B.The form of matches.
C.The number of courts.
D.The participation rate.
答案:C
解析:代词指代题。根据画线词上文中的 “The country has only about 10,000 places to play, by US Pickleball's count” 可知,这个国家只有大约1万个板手球运动场地,再根据下文的 “continues to grow” 可推知,that指的是 “比赛场地的数量”,即比赛场地的数量继续以每个月几十个的速度增长,故选C。
7.Which best describes “a famous star” to pickleball according to Ben Shields?

C.Harmful. D.Influential.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 “Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences” 可知, “a famous star” 的作用是吸引更多的观众,由此可推知,“a famous star” 对于板手球运动而言应该是具有很大影响的,故选D。

Hop on the Silent Walking Trend
Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mindbodynature connection. 1 That's a slower, lowerimpact way to relax and is great for fitness.Here's everything you need to know about the trend.
Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses.For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. 2 Meanwhile, consciously observing the sights, sounds, smells, and physical sensations during the walk can significantly impact cognitive and emotional wellbeing.
To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual.Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. 3 And it might even be good for your brain.Scientists applaud the virtues of boredom for brain health, believing that it boosts creativity and improves social connections.And if you do get bored, rest assured that it shows you've disconnected from external distractions.Go with it, and make sure you take a different route each time—it'll keep you motivated.
Start off with fiveminute silent walks and eventually build up to thirty minutes.If you're usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your goto tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust.Chances are, once you're a few minutes into your silent walk, you'll feel the magic kick in. 4
Regular reflection and ongoing documentation are essential.After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. 5 Journaling about the experience can also solidify connections between thoughts and ideas, providing a valuable tool for selfreflection and growth.
A.But being bored won't hurt you.
B.Taking different paths can lead to exciting discoveries.
C.Adjusting the routine gradually can help ease into the experience.
D.You'll also start noticing the little things around you more clearly.
E.They can deepen understanding and serve as a record of personal growth.
F.Unlike exerciseoriented walking, it isn't about reaching certain speed or steps.
G.In such an environment, you can immerse yourself in the natural soundscape(音景).
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了如何进行静默行走,以及这种行走方式对健康的好处,特别是对促进认知和情感福祉的潜在影响。
1.答案:F
解析:上文说静默行走聚焦 “身、心、自然” 的联系,下文提到静默行走是一种更慢、负面影响更小的放松方式。F 项 “Unlike exerciseoriented walking, it isn't about reaching certain speed or steps.” 衔接上下文,强调了静默行走与以锻炼为导向的行走相比,不需要达到一定的速度或步数,符合语境。故选F。
2.答案:G
解析:根据上文 “For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location.”可知,本段建议找一个安静祥和的自然环境,G项“在这样的环境中,你可以沉浸在自然音景中。”承接上文,符合语境。故选G。
3.答案:A
解析:根据上文 “Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk.” 中的关键信息boredom可知,A 项 “But being bored won't hurt you.” 与之相呼应,而且下文 “And it might even be good for your brain.” 指出无聊对大脑有益,且其中的 it 指代A项中的 being bored。故选A。
4.答案:C
解析:本段主要讲的是如何开始静默行走:从五分钟开始,逐渐增加到三十分钟。C 项 “Adjusting the routine gradually can help ease into the experience.” 与上文提到的 “从短时间开始逐步增加时间” 相呼应,说明逐步调整可以帮助人们适应静默行走。故选C。
5.答案:E
解析:上文提到在静默行走后,你要反思出现的任何想法、感受或领悟。空处应提供一个对这种反思行为的进一步解释或重要性的阐述。E 项 “They can deepen understanding and serve as a record of personal growth.” 与上文在逻辑上完美衔接,且 E 项中的关键信息 personal growth 与下文中的growth 相呼应。故选E。
