B A"bucket list"is a personal list of goals and activities someone wants to achieve before the end of his life.Fortunately,I've been able to check off many of mine,an achievement that many people I know never get the opportunity to do. While most people don't like to talk about mortality ()the hard fact is that it will come eventually.After the loss of several loved ones,I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life,I'll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could. Some of the things on my bucket list that I've achieved-hiking the Plank Road in the Sky on Mount Huashan in China;diving off the highest platform of 15 meters(50 feet)into the sea at Ariel's Point in Boracay;doing the world's highest bungee jump at 233 meters off Macao Tower;octopus fishing in the Yellow Sea off South Korea and much more. The top thing on my bucket list,however,is much more difficult to achieve.Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976,I have been searching for my birth parents for the past several years.I can't help but worry that they may be gone.But having this thing head my list urges me to keep trying and I'm planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search. When I've talked about my bucket list to others,some of the feedback (I've received is that it seems"a bit morbid".Like,if you have a list,you're thinking about your death. But I'm still in my rosy years. 高二英语第3页共10页 As you get older,the list may change.And that's OK Whether it includes visiting certain countries,getting in better physical shape,buying a particular thing or just spending more time with loved ones,there is no wrong way to do a bucket list.Your list can include short-term goals, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or just personal goals.It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so. 24.Why did the author decide to make his bucket list? A.Because he was afraid of early death.B.Because he thought life was too hard. C.Because he wanted to honor himself.D.Because he didn't want to live to regret. 25.Which of the following wishes has NOT been achieved according to the author? A.Diving at Ariel's Point. B.Hiking on Mount Huashan. C.Doing bungee off Macao Tower.D.Finding his biological parents. 26.What does the underlined word"morbid in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.acceptable B.negative C.necessary D.reliable 27.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.A bucket list can help us get motivated and relaxed. B.It doesn't make any sense to change the bucket list. C.People should stick to their dreams and hopes. D.Personal experiences shouldn't be included in a bucket list. C Nowadays,social running is popular in cities globally.Running clubs,which attracted competitive runners at first,have spread worldwide and now appeal to a broader audience for support,motivation,and friendship. The rise of social media and fitness apps has changed running clubs.Online platforms enable runners to connect,organize events,and track progress,making running more accessible.Running with others helps maintain a conversational pace and build a community. Danielle Burnett,leader of a running club,recently hosted her first group run."At the start,people were chatting just a bit,"she says."Then,when we came back,it felt like connections had been made.People were already talking about meeting up for runs later that week." Rachel Goldberg,a marriage and family expert,has noticed that people are much more willing to open up during exercise."If you are near somebody but not necessarily facing them eye to eye,you might just feel less threatened,"she says,"This can lead to deeper conversations and stronger connections and also a great way to break down social anxiety."One reason for this may be that running stimulates (endorphins,the body's natural feel-good chemicals. "They can make you feel less stressed,and everything around you starts to seem more positive," says Goldberg. Additionally,keeping a conversational pace while running with friends offers unique physical benefits,too.Conversational running is often associated with Zone 2 training,which 高二英语第4页共10页 includes working out at an intensity (of 60 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate. "Doing low-intensity exercise builds patience so you'll be able to go longer and further,"says Kristen,a running coach."You're also going to recover faster and reduce your risk of injuries." 28.What has contributed to the changes of running clubs? A.The development of digital platforms. B.The decrease in the number of runners. C.The efforts of running club leaders. D.The popularity of running in rural areas. 29.What does Goldberg explain about social running? A.Its starting point. B.Its preparations in group runs. C.Its role in social connection. D.Its impact on physical fitness. 30.What advantage does Zone 2 training mainly offer? A.It improves the speed of running. B.It develops the patience of runners. C.It increases the intensity of exercise D.It promotes the quick growth of muscles. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Running Clubs:More Than a gathering place B.The Benefits of Running Clubs C.The Popularity of Social Running D.Social Running:More Than Just a Workout D From self-driving cars to care-bots(care+robots)for elderly people,rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of jobs existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses. "The next fifteen years will see a revolution (in how we work,and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,"said Peter Andrew,Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence,social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts,business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific,Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states:"Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs-just changing what people do."Growth in new jobs could occur as much,according to the research."The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,"it states. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the 高二英语第5页共10页 next few years.The optimists pictured"a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,"according to Aaron Smith,the report's co-author. "Technology will continue to affect jobs,but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people,when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs."Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers. 32.We can infer from the text that in the future A.people may take up more creative jobs B.people will face many difficulties C.artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives D.most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces 33.According to the report based on interview, A.big companies will face fewer challenges B.small companies will win against big companies C.people won't necessarily lose jobs D.most people will become interested in technology 34.What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future? A.Worried.B.Mixed. C.Doubtful. D.Hopeful. 35.Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that A.there will be enough jobs for people B.things will change a lot in a few years C.technology will totally change future jobs D.many people will become unemployed 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，从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。 Today,there are thousands of national parks all over the world. 36 In that year,the United States government gave a large piece of land to the state of California.The government asked the state to create a special park to protect the mountains and forest in the area.The trees in this area are called sequoias().37 They are the tallest living things in the world and are not found anywhere else on the earth. 38 Today Europe has over 350 national parks.The first one in France,Vanoise National Park,was created in 1963.The idea of creating a national park was first discussed in the 1940s,but people couldn't agree on what size to make the park.39 Ecologists worked with the government to finally agree on a plan that protected the animals,while still allowing some tourism.The first national park in Germany opened in 1970.Like the first California park,the Bavarian Forest National Park was created to protect mountains and trees.It is the largest area of protected forest in Europe.The park has shelters where visitors can spend a night close to nature.In some places high up in the mountains,there are steps cut into the rock. 40 A.The world's first national park was started in 1864. 高二英语第6页共10页 B.Protectors in other countries saw what happened in California and soon began to do the same C.

"You can't give me a star!No one owns the stars.""That's right,Betty.No one else owns them.You just have to claim(要求拥有；认领)it before any one else does.” I looked up to the stars and tried to figure out which was the best one.I could see hundreds,maybe thousands or even millions,hanging in the clear sky.There was one in particular,in the west above the mountains but low in the sky,which shone more brightly than all the rest.I pointed and claimed it.Dad smiled,telling me I chose Venus.It looked bigger and brighter because it was much closer than other stars.It reflected the light of the sun."I like it anyway,”I said.“Alright,.”Dad agreed..“It's Christmas..You can have a planet if you want.” From then on,Venus got a new name in our family,Betty's Planet.After Christmas,Dad found another job in the mine and he worked like crazy.Gradually,we could make ends meet (收支平衡)and there were presents under the Christmas tree and cakes when it was my birthday.
