The brothers set off from Jiayuguan in Gansu Province on July 15.

He has spent more than 30 years visiting, studying and protecting the wall. And his action influenced (影响) his two sons. They spent most of their weekends walking, photographing and picking up rubbish from the Great Wall.

Long ago, before air conditioners (空调) appeared, ancient Chinese people already had smart ways to stay cool in the hot summer. One way was using a large, green vegetable called winter melon. People would put the winter melon into cold water during the day and then hold it close to keep cool while sleeping at night.
Although the vegetable has the word “winter” in its name, it actually grows in summer. It has over 96% water, and its skin (皮) feels cooler than our body. When people touch it, the melon helps take away their body heat, just like a natural air conditioner. What’s more, the winter melon is very big—it can grow to be over 80 cm long. And it has a waxy coating (蜡质涂层) that helps keep it fresh for a long time. So people can save it for later use. That’s why the winter melon is a smart and useful tool for staying cool.
Besides cooling people down, the vegetable is also great to eat. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the winter melon is a cool food. It is beneficial for people’s health because it can take away heat and dampness (湿气) from the body. So, many people enjoy it in summer to stay healthy and cool. There are many ways to enjoy the winter melon. People cook it in soup, stir-fry (炒) it and make sweet snacks with it. In hot summers, people even put the skin of the winter melon into tea to help them cool down.
In a word, the winter melon is a helpful and popular plant. It not only helps people feel comfortable in hot weather but also does good for people’s health. Even today, it plays a big role in people’s lives.
根据语篇内容,选择最佳答案。
26. Why does winter melon help people cool down?
A. It has a lot of water and its skin is cooler than the body.
B. It grows in winter.
C. It has no waxy coating.
27. What do we know about the winter melon from Paragraph 2?
A. It can grow in cold weather.
B. It is small and easy to carry
C. It can stay fresh for a long time.
28. What does the underlined word “beneficial” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. 秘密的 B. 有利的 C. 新颖的
29. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Winter melon actually grows in summer.

C. People enjoy winter melon in soup, stir-fry and sweet snacks.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在空调出现之前,古代中国人利用冬瓜来降温的智慧方式,以及冬瓜的特性和在中医中的益处,强调了冬瓜在帮助人们保持凉爽和健康方面的作用。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It has over 96% water, and its skin feels cooler than our body. When people touch it, the melon helps take away their body heat, just like a natural air conditioner.”可知,冬瓜含水量超过96%,且其皮比人体感觉更凉,当人们触摸它时,它能帮助带走人体的热量,就像天然的空调一样。因此,冬瓜能帮助人们降温是因为它含有大量的水分,且其皮比人体更凉。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“And it has a waxy coating that helps keep it fresh for a long time. So people can save it for later use.”可知,冬瓜有一层蜡质涂层,这有助于它长时间保持新鲜,所以人们可以保存它以备后用。因此,从第二段中我们可以了解到冬瓜可以长时间保持新鲜。故选C。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the winter melon is a cool food. It is beneficial for people’s health because it can take away heat and dampness from the body.”可知,在中医中,冬瓜是一种凉性食物,它对人们的健康有益,因为它能带走体内的热量和湿气。根据句意可推测,“beneficial”在此处意为“有利的”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“People would put the winter melon into cold water during the day and then hold it close to keep cool while sleeping at night.”可知,人们白天把冬瓜放进冷水里,晚上抱着它睡觉以保持凉爽,而不是把冬瓜放进热水里。因此,B选项“人们晚上把冬瓜放进热水里以保持凉爽”是不正确的。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了冬瓜如何帮助人们保持凉爽和健康,包括其降温的原理、在中医中的益处以及人们如何食用冬瓜等。因此,文章的主旨大意是“冬瓜如何帮助人们保持凉爽和健康”。故选C。

There is a saying. “He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.” British brothers James and Thomas, aged 28 and 21, know the saying very well. And last year, the two brothers spent months running along the Great Wall.
The brothers set off from Jiayuguan in Gansu Province on July 15. It took them 131 days of running and walking along the main west-to-east length of the Great Wall to reach Shanhaiguan on November 22. Their Great Wall journey covered 3,263 kilometers. They are the first known brothers, and Thomas the youngest person, to succeed in running the wall in one journey.
The two brothers’ love for the Great Wall is from their father, William. William once ran along the wall 35 years ago. And it took him about half a year. He has spent more than 30 years visiting, studying and protecting the wall. And his action influenced (影响) his two sons. They spent most of their weekends walking, photographing and picking up rubbish from the Great Wall.

Long ago, before air conditioners (空调) appeared, ancient Chinese people already had smart ways to stay cool in the hot summer. One way was using a large, green vegetable called winter melon. People would put the winter melon into cold water during the day and then hold it close to keep cool while sleeping at night.
Although the vegetable has the word “winter” in its name, it actually grows in summer. It has over 96% water, and its skin (皮) feels cooler than our body. When people touch it, the melon helps take away their body heat, just like a natural air conditioner. What’s more, the winter melon is very big—it can grow to be over 80 cm long. And it has a waxy coating (蜡质涂层) that helps keep it fresh for a long time. So people can save it for later use. That’s why the winter melon is a smart and useful tool for staying cool.
Besides cooling people down, the vegetable is also great to eat. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the winter melon is a cool food. It is beneficial for people’s health because it can take away heat and dampness (湿气) from the body. So, many people enjoy it in summer to stay healthy and cool. There are many ways to enjoy the winter melon. People cook it in soup, stir-fry (炒) it and make sweet snacks with it. In hot summers, people even put the skin of the winter melon into tea to help them cool down.
In a word, the winter melon is a helpful and popular plant. It not only helps people feel comfortable in hot weather but also does good for people’s health. Even today, it plays a big role in people’s lives.

My name is Lucy. I had two dogs, Harry and Buster. I used to do everything with them. But I lost them several weeks ago. It was a very hard time for me. One day, at my coffee shop, I told one customer (顾客) I wanted to close my shop because I was tired of working long hours. She wondered what I planned to do next.
“First, I’ll go to a beach by myself and stay there for a week or two,” I said.
Then she asked, “Doesn’t anyone go with you?”
Old memories suddenly hit me. Her question made me think of my dogs. I described them to her and told her our stories. She listened carefully and then took out her phone and showed me some photos of her puppies (小狗).
To my surprise, she gave me one of her lovely puppies as a gift. At that moment, the gift meant the world to me. I named the puppy Poppy.
