But I've gotten some relief by stretching for five minutes each morning.I picked this tip up from Dr.Gbolahan,a spine surgeon in New York.He told me that he'd been doing this 高三英语试题第3页（共12页） every morning to keep his joints and muscles soft and sharp.Now I do the same. Regular movement is critical for joint health,Dr.Okubadejo said.Our hip,shoulder,knee and elbow joints are called synovial joints(湣膜关节)；they contain fluid that helps nourish the cartilage by preventing wear while the joint is in motion.Movement helps circulate the fluid and oil those joints,preventing stiffness and discomfort,said Dean Padavan,associate program director of Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship. In addition to regular stretching,Dr.Okubadejo recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous exercise.That could be gentler,joint-friendly activities such as Yoga Pilates and Tai Chi,or something more intense,like swimming laps.And with the exception of swimming,"exercises where your feet are planted are better for your joints,"said Anna Noel Miller,chair of orthopedics at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.She suggests bicycling rather than exercises like running. Numerous companies sell supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin that they claim can improve joint health,and people are snapping them up.The National Institutes of Health estimate that 6.5 million adults have used one or both of these products.The research,however, is mixed on whether supplements actually help with stiffness and pain. 21.Which approach did the author adopt to make his joints flexible? A.Taking joint supplements every day. B.Doing five minutes of morning stretching. C.Running for five minutes every morning. D.Riding a bicycle on a regular basis. 22.How effective are joint health supplements in practice? A.They are effective for all adults. B.Research has proved they are useless. C.Their effects are not yet confirmed. D.All doctors strongly recommend them. 23.What can be the suitable title for the text? A.Who Should Protect Their Joints. B.Why Joint Health Is Important. C.Whether to Take Joint Supplements. D.How to Ensure Joints Function Well. 办 From the age of 13,Yang wanted to study in America.After graduating from Cornell University in 2022,she chose to do a PhD.But by then "international relations had got more 高三英语试题第4页（共12页） intense"and America had tightened its visa rules.So she went to Singapore,where she doesn't “need to constantly worry about paperwork”. For years,ambitious Asian students have headed straight for universities in the "big four" Anglophone countries:America,Australia,Britain and Canada.Yet lately those traditional destinations have been losing a little of their shine.They take in around 35%of the world's international students,down from roughly 40%in 2020,by one estimate. Tighter immigration rules in the big four countries are one reason why Asian students are staying local.Another is that Asian universities are growing more celebrated,those in East Asia,in particular.Lower costs are a third big draw.The pandemic sped this process up.Many Asian students and their parents decided it would be better if they stayed closer to home.Some see the West as increasingly dangerous and unpredictable.Between 2016 and 2022 the number of Asians studying abroad in East Asia increased about 40%. Receiving places see a big opportunity.In 2023 Japan and South Korea set new targets for attracting foreign students.Japan hosted 337,000 last year,up 21%from 2023.More than 90% came from Asia.It wants 400,000 by 2033.Both of them are offering more English-language courses.They are also offering more generous scholarships and making it easier for students to work after graduating. Challenges remain.In places such as Hong Kong,Singapore and Malaysia,there is only so much room for growth.Language barriers limit the appeal of China,South Korea and Japan, particularly for students who long to take up local jobs after their studies.Public worries about immigration are rising.Chinese students are the most numerous foreigners in many Asian universities.The window to profit from them may be closing;their flow could drop sharply as China's youth population declines. 24.Why did Yang choose to study for a PhD in Singapore? A.She wanted to avoid frequent visa paperwork troubles. B.She had graduated from a university in Singapore. C.Singapore offered her a full scholarship for her PhD. D.Singapore had more stable international relations. 25.Why are the"big four"countries losing their appeal? A.Their universities are becoming less famous B.They have reduced the number of scholarships. C.Their immigration policies have become stricter. D.They no longer offer English-language courses. 高三英语试题第5页（共12页） 26.Which measure are Japan and South Korea taking to attract foreign students? A.Offering more courses taught in English. B.Lowering tuition fees significantly. C.Lowering their academic standards for admission. D.Only accepting foreign students from Asian countries. 27.What challenge do China,South Korea,and Japan face in attracting foreign students? A.Lack of international recognition. B.Limited growth space. C.Language barriers. D.High living costs. C In an age of endless scrolling and bite-sized information,the practice of"deep reading"- the immersive(沉浸式的)，focused engagement with a complex text一is facing an undeniable challenge.Nicholas Carr,in his famous work The Shallows,argues that the Internet is reshaping our brains,promoting quick scanning over sustained concentration.This shift,he warns,comes at a cost to our capacity for deep thought and comprehension. Neurological studies support this concer.When we read deeply,specific brain regions associated with language,memory,and perspective-taking show significant activity.It's a slow, demanding process that builds rich mental models and fosters critieal thinking.In contrast,the scattered(零散的)，hyperlinked nature of online reading often keeps us at a surface level,. training the brain for rapid decision-making about what to click next rather than for thoughtful analysis. However,it's not all doom and gloom.The question isn't necessarily about rejecting digital tools,but about cultivating a balanced "diet"of reading habits.Educational technologists point out that digital platforms can also support deep reading when used intentionally.Features like annotation()tools,keyword search,and access to vast online libraries can enhance understanding,provided we consciously resist the pull of distraction. The key lies in mindfulness.Just as we schedule time for physical exercise,we must intentionally carve out periods for uninterrupted reading.This might mean setting aside the smartphone and picking up a physical book,or using app blockers to create a distraction-free digital space for engaging with longer articles.The goal is to regain control over our attention, training our minds to settle into a text without the urge to constantly switch tasks. Ultimately,deep reading is not merely a skill for academics;it's a vital exercise for the mind in a fragmented(支离a破碎的)world.It strengthens our ability to think critically,. empathize with others,and engage with complex ideas-capacities more crucial than ever in navigating the complexities of the 21st century. 高三英语试题第6页（共12页） 28.What is the main concern raised in the first paragraph? A.The rising cost of deep thought. B.The negative influence of social media. C.The poor quality of online information. D.The decline of the deep reading ability. 29.What does the neurological research mentioned in paragraph 2 show? A.Different reading styles activate the brain differently. B.Online reading can improve all decision-making skills. C.Deep reading is a slow and effortless process. D.Hyperlinks are essential for building memory. 30.What does the underlined word "mindfulness"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.The ability to remember details. B.The conscious practice to focus. C.The technique of reading faster. D.The method of using digital tools. 31.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To introduce the latest digital reading platforms. B.To advocate the value and practice of deep reading C.To criticize the shallowness of online information. D.To compare the effects of reading on paper and on screen. D The US government is currently weighing a crucial decision:whether to grant African lions protection under the Endangered Species Act,which would prohibit the import of lion trophies into the U.S.,marking a significant step for an endangered species.This proposal raises a pressing question:why is it still legal to hunt lions for sport when they are vanishing from the wild? Scientific evidence underscores the urgency.A recent study estimates as few as 32,000 lions remain in the wild,with some experts fearing the true number is lower.While the primary drivers of their decline are habitat loss and retaliatory killings by humans,trophy hunting adds unsustainable pressure.Each year,approximately 600 more lions are killed for sport, approximately 60 percent of which are shipped to the U.S.as trophies. The damage caused by trophy hunting runs deeper than the initial kill.The preferred target is the adult male lion whose removal destabilizes the entire pride.When new males take over,they frequently kill all the cubs generated by the previous leader,wiping out a generation 高三英语试题第7页（共12页） within the pride.This practice is also evolutionarily damaging,as it removes the strongest, healthiest males vital for protecting their prides and passing on strong genes to future generations. Some argue that trophy hunting brings money to local communities.Yet,studies show that only about 3%of the income actually reaches them.Most of the money goes to goverments or foreign companies.The money that does come into Africa from hunting pales in comparison to the billions generated from tourists who come just to watch wildlife.If lions and other animals continue to disappear from Africa,this vital source of income will end,adversely impacting people all over Africa. Despite decades of discussion about reforming hunting practices,lion numbers continue to fall.As the only big cat not currently protected by the Act,the African lion stands at a crossroads.Granting them protection and banning trophy imports would send a powerful global message:the time to act is now,before this iconic species is lost forever. 32.What will be the direct result if African lions are protected by the Act? A.Lion hunting would become illegal worldwide. B.The import of lion trophies into the U.S.would be banned. C.The number of lions in the wild would immediately increase. D.Local communities in Africa would receive more financial support. 33.What impact does killing a male lion have according to the passage? A.It only leads to the death of the male lion itself. B.It encourages the survival of the weak lions. C.It causes the new lion king to kill all the cubs. D.It weakens the genetic quality of the lion pride. 34.What can advance sustainable development in Africa? A.Enhancing regulated trophy hunting. B.Promoting wildlife-watching tourism. C.Applying for more international funds. D.Encouraging community-led hunting. 35.What is the main idea of the passage? A.African lions are facing extinction due to various human activities. B.Male lions play a key role in maintaining the balance of lion prides. C.Wildlife tourism is more profitable than trophy hunting in Africa. D.The U.S.should protect African lions by banning lion trophy imports 高三英语试题第8页（共12页） 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 A Community Garden Brings People Together Tired of the dull gray of the city,some residents in our community decided to take action. They transformed an empty lot into a vibrant garden.36 It is a place where people connect with nature and each other. The garden is divided into small plots.Families and individuals can apply to grow their own vegetables and flowers.37"I never thought I'd enjoy getting my hands dirty so much," said Mr.Davis,a retired teacher."Seeing the seeds I planted grow into healthy plants gives me a great sense of achievement." _38Every Sunday morning,you can see neighbors watering plants,pulling weeds,and sharing gardening tips.Children especially love to help,learning where their food comes from. The garden has become an outdoor classroom for them. The benefits go beyond fresh produce.39 People who used to be strangers now stop to chat.The garden hosts parties,like a harvest festival in the autumn,which strengthens the community bond. "This garden is more than just a piece of land,"said Mrs.Chen,one of the founders."It's a symbol of hope and cooperation."40 Indeed,the project shows how a small idea can grow into something that truly enriches everyone's life. A.For many,it's the first time they have experienced the joy of gardening. B.However,maintaining the public areas is a shared responsibility C.But this garden is much more than just a source of food and beauty D.It has also become a powerful tool for building friendships. E.The project has encouraged a spirit of teamwork among residents. F.Some even volunteer to take care of the common areas.
