Not that long ago, Johnny could barely walk a few steps because he was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). But his dream of being a runner never stopped. From the day Johnny was born, Jeff refused to let his son’s disability hold him back. Determined to show Johnny that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete, Jeff helped him engage in running. They began waking up at 4 a.m. so Jeff could run while pushing his son in a special wheelchair called a racing chair. Every morning, they drove themselves to run increasingly longer distances. Soon, they were entering 5K races, then on to Ironman competition. Jeff would act as Johnny’s arms and legs, carrying the weight of his son throughout the race. The race began with a 2.4-mile swim. Settling Johnny into a kayak, Jeff eased himself into the water. Swimming while dragging another person was very tough. But worst of all, Jeff had to struggle with jellyfish. “I occupied my mind by counting the number of times I got stung (蜇),” he says. After the two men completed the tough bike section in roughly nine hours, they set their sights on the final leg of the race — a 26.2-mile marathon. They’d been competing for 10.5 hours, leaving another 6.5 hours to make their time.But at Mile 19, Johnny saw the clock ticking down and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. Despite the tiredness, Jeff was convinced they were going all right and then picked up the pace. With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line, Jeff stopped to help Johnny out of his racing chair and handed him his rolling walker. After years of painstaking work, Johnny was determined to finish his races on his own. After 16 hours, 55 minutes and 35seconds,the father and son crossed the finish line together. As the crowd cheered on an overwhelmed Johnny, a weary Jeff kept a low profle. “My father didn’t want his finish line moment,” says Johnny, tears in eyes. “He wanted it to be mine.” 34. Why did Jeff lead Johnny to running? A. To get closer to Johnny. B. To fulfill Johnny’s dream. C. To discover Johnny’s interest. D. To speed up Johnny’s recovery. 35. What challenged Jeff most in the swimming race? A. Lack of energy. B. Pain from injuries. C. Mental tiredness. D. Body weight change. 36. Which of the following can best describe Johnny according to the passage? A. Strong-willed and grateful. B. Warm-hearted and sensitive. C. Patient and generous. D. Tough and humorous. 37. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Fathers are not born; they are made. C. The value of a loving father has no price. D. Success comes from failures along the journey. 【答案】34. B 35. B 36. A 37. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了父亲杰夫为了实现患脑瘫的儿子约翰尼成为跑步运动员的梦想，每天陪着约翰尼练习，并一起参加比赛，在通过终点线时，杰夫默默站在一边，因为他希望这一刻的荣誉只属于儿子约翰尼。文章体现了以为父亲无私的爱。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But his dream of being a runner never stopped.(但他成为一名跑步运动员的梦想从未停止过)”和第二段中“Determined to show Johnny that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete, Jeff helped him engage in running. They began waking up at 4 a.m. so Jeff could run while pushing his son in a special wheelchair called a racing chair. Every morning, they drove themselves to run increasingly longer distances.(为了让约翰尼知道他可以追求成为运动员的梦想，杰夫帮助他参加跑步。他们开始在凌晨4点起床，这样杰夫就可以一边跑步，一边推着他坐在一种叫做比赛椅的特殊轮椅上的儿子。每天早上，他们迫使自己跑得越来越快)”可知，杰夫领着约翰尼跑步是为了实现约翰尼成为跑步运动员的梦想。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But worst of all, Jeff had to struggle with jellyfish. “I occupied my mind by counting the number of times I got stung (蛰),” he says.(但最糟糕的是，杰夫不得不与水母搏斗。他说：“我满脑子都是被蜇的次数。”)”可知，在游泳比赛中，被水母蜇的疼痛对杰夫来说最具挑战性。故选B。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They began waking up at 4 a.m. so Jeff could run while pushing his son in a special wheelchair called a racing chair.(他们开始在凌晨4点起床，这样杰夫就可以一边跑步，一边推着他坐在一种叫做比赛椅的特殊轮椅上的儿子)”，倒数第三段中“After the two men completed the tough bike section in roughly nine hours, they set their sights on the final leg of the race — a 26.2-mile marathon. They’d been competing for 10.5 hours, leaving another 6.5 hours to make their time.(在两个人用了大约9个小时完成了艰难的自行车赛段后，他们把目光投向了比赛的最后一段——26.2英里的马拉松赛。他们已经比赛了10.5个小时，还剩下6.5个小时的时间)”以及倒数第二段中“After 16 hours, 55 minutes and 35seconds,the father and son crossed the finish line together.(16小时55分35秒后，父子俩一起冲过了终点线)”可知，约翰尼每天坚持训练，并参加完比赛的全程，因此他是意志坚定的；根据最后一段中“ “My father didn’t want his finish line moment,” says Johnny, tears in eyes. “He wanted it to be mine.”(“我父亲不想要他的终点线时刻，”约翰尼说，眼里含着泪水。“他希望它是我的。”)”可知，约翰尼看到父亲的行为感动到落泪，因此推知他对父亲的付出是感激的。综上，故选A。 【37题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第二段中“Determined to show Johnny that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete, Jeff helped him engage in running. They began waking up at 4 a.m. so Jeff could run while pushing his son in a special wheelchair called a racing chair. Every morning, they drove themselves to run increasingly longer distances.(为了让约翰尼知道他可以追求成为运动员的梦想，杰夫帮助他参加跑步。他们开始在凌晨4点起床，这样杰夫就可以一边跑步，一边推着他坐在一种叫做比赛椅的特殊轮椅上的儿子。每天早上，他们迫使自己跑得越来越快)”和最后一段“As the crowd cheered on an overwhelmed Johnny, a weary Jeff kept a low profle. “My father didn’t want his finish line moment,” says Johnny, tears in eyes. “He wanted it to be mine.”(当人群为开心的约翰尼欢呼时，疲惫的杰夫却保持着低调。“我父亲不想要他的终点线时刻，”约翰尼说，眼里含着泪水。“他希望它是我的。”)”可知，文章主要讲述了父亲杰夫为了实现患脑瘫的儿子约翰尼成为跑步运动员的梦想，每天陪着约翰尼练习，并一起参加比赛，在通过终点线时，杰夫默默站在一边，因为他希望这一刻的荣誉只属于儿子约翰尼。文章体现了以为父亲无私的爱。C项“The value of a loving father has no price.(慈爱的父亲的价值是无价的)”可以概括本文主要内容。故选C。 C Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave-and mighty (强大的) force will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas-even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim, “ I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet (子弹) — and stopped him cold.” Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme-is not one that can be got overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities — and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 38. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces. C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success. 39. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game? A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill. C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force. 40. What can be learned from Paragraph 5? A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless. C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little. 41. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage people to be courageous. B. To tell people the ways to achieve success. C. To advise people to build up physical power. D. To recommend people to develop more abilities. 【答案】38. C 39. D 40. D 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要通过个人经历与实例，阐述勇敢无畏的重要性，鼓励人们突破自我、勇于尝试。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. (通常是因为我让对失败的恐惧阻止了我去尝试。)”可知，作者过去有时无法达成目标，是因为恐惧阻碍了他的尝试。故选C项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. (诚然，这些强大的力量是精神层面的。但它们比身体层面的力量更重要。)”及蒂姆的案例——他体重远低于平均水平，却凭借勇气成功阻挡了高大球员，可知蒂姆成功防守的关键在于精神力量。故选D项。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Boldness-a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme-is not one that can be got overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. (勇敢——一种愿意将自己推向极致的意愿——并非一蹴而就。但它可以教给孩子，也可以在成年人身上培养。信心是逐步建立起来的。)”可知，勇敢可以一点点培养获得。故选D项。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者以个人经历引入，通过朋友的建议、自身感悟、蒂姆的案例，强调勇敢尝试的重要性，最后总结“So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities-and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. (所以，总是尝试去做一些超出你能力范围的事情——你会发现你的能力比你想象的更强大。)”可知，短文的目的是鼓励人们勇敢无畏、勇于突破。故选A项。 D Learning to Run An article published in the scientific journal Nature discusses an important aspect of human evolution (进化). According to Bramble and Lieberman, Professors at the University of Utah, humans have a number of features that make them surprisingly good runners. “We are confident that running was important in the origin of the human body form,” says Bramble. Traditional thinking has been that humans are poor runners compared to such animals as horses. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. Even an athlete can hardly run as quickly as a horse does, and can only keep up a top speed for 15 seconds or so. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans will do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their speed is at least at the same level with that of horses. Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 parts of human bodies. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament (韧带). When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. Then there are Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, forming the mechanical links between the muscles to the bones. They act like strong strings and help to push us forward when we run. Besides, we have low, wide shoulders, a development which allows us to run more effectively. Add to this our light forearms, which swing in co-operation with the movement of our legs to assist balance, and one begins to appreciate the point that Bramble and Lieberman are trying to make. But what advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? One theory is that this ability may have permitted early humans to get food more effectively. Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after animals for great distances to make them tired before killing them. Running would also have shown another advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals. They may have been warned of the existence of a freshly killed animal by vultures (秃鹰), and the faster they got to the scene of the kill, the better. “Research on the history of human ability of running has traditionally been controversial” says Lieberman. “At the very least, I hope this theory will make many people have second thoughts about how humans learned to run and why we are built the way we are.” 42. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us that ________. A. humans are poor runners compared to horses B. humans are good runners over long distances C. humans may run at high speed for a short time D. humans can keep the same speed when running 43. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________. A. tendons are a successful adaptation for running B. strong muscles and bones keep running effective C. the shape of shoulders affects the position of heads D. humans can run faster if they have longer forearms 44. What conclusion is drawn about early humans? A. They followed birds to avoid danger. B. They were unable to kill large animals. C. They developed their big brains for running. D. They evolved running due to the need for hunting. 【答案】42. B 43. A 44. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨人类进化中擅长长跑的身体特征及该能力对早期人类生存的意义。 42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. Even an athlete can hardly run as quickly as a horse does... But when it comes to long-distance running, humans will do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their speed is at least at the same level with that of horses.(然而，这只在我们考虑高速奔跑时才成立，尤其是短距离奔跑。即使是运动员也几乎跑不过马……但说到长跑，人类的表现会惊人地好。他们能以稳定的速度跑很多公里，而且速度至少和马相当。)”可知，该段核心是对比人类与马的奔跑能力，强调人类在长跑方面的优势。故选B项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then there are Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, forming the mechanical links between the muscles to the bones. They act like strong strings and help to push us forward when we run.(此外，我们的腿后有跟腱，形成肌肉与骨骼之间的机械连接。它们就像结实的绳子，在我们奔跑时帮助推动我们前进。)”可知，跟腱是人类为适应奔跑进化出的有利特征。故选A项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One theory is that this ability may have permitted early humans to get food more effectively. Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after animals for great distances to make them tired before killing them. Running would also have shown another advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals... the faster they got to the scene of the kill, the better.(一种理论认为，这种能力可能让早期人类更有效地获取食物。一些科学家猜测，早期人类可能会长途追赶动物，使其疲惫后再杀死它们。奔跑还会带来另一个优势：早期人类可能会食用其他大型动物猎杀后剩下的肉……他们越快到达猎杀现场越好。)”可知，早期人类长跑能力的进化与狩猎获取食物的需求相关。故选D项。 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(共10分) E涂AB F涂AC G涂AD Health and fitness help a person live a good and healthy life.

Often due to various pressures, we tend to ignore our health. (健康和健身有助于一个人过上美好健康的生活。由于各种各样的压力，我们往往会忽视我们的健康。)”提到“由于各种压力，我们往往忽视健康”（ignore our health），空格需承接“忽视健康”的后果。A项“This makes our body suffer and we catch lifestyle and other diseases. (这会让我们的身体受损，患上生活方式相关疾病及其他疾病。)”用“this”指代“忽视健康”的行为，与后文“It is the fitness level of our body that helps us fight these diseases.

(对每个人来说，花点时间保持健康是很重要的。)”提出每个人都需要花时间关注健康与健身，空格需承接“具体该做什么”，后文举例“For instance, we must exercise daily regardless of our age and working style. (例如，无论我们的年龄和工作方式如何，我们都必须每天锻炼。) G 项 “There are some activities which everyone should do in our life. (生活中有些活动是每个人都应该做的。)”可知，“some activities”指代后文的“exercise daily”，起到“总起→举例” 的过渡作用，符和逻辑。故选G项。 【49题详解】 根据前文“We should have at least six to eight hours of sleep every day. It helps in improving our immune system and protects us against diseases.

(它还能帮助我们保持冷静，放松心情。)”可知，“it”指代前文“six to eight hours of sleep”，“also”体现并列关系，补充睡眠在“心理状态”上的益处，与后文“in turn, gives us new goals (进而为我们带来健康与健身的新目标)”形成逻辑递进。故选C项。 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题：第30、31题各2分，第32题3分，第33题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 In a fast-paced world, where stress and mental tiredness seem commonplace, we’re constantly looking for new ways to unwind. People may carry out a variety of activities to help them relax. But what about the birdsongs or other nature sounds? Could they also help people to let go of the tensions of modern life? According to a study by King’s College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental wellbeing of people. Taking a trip to places rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds singing to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. And it’s not just birds that could have a curative effect on our moods. Another study conducted by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation (冥想) apps. The study found listening to birdsong as well as other woodland sounds like leaves crunching underfoot or the gentle flow of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30% more than the apps do. Other sounds which may help to cool people down are waves lapping on the shore, gentle wind, and light rainfall. However, not all of us live in rural surroundings, and depending on where we live, a trip to the countryside to see birds may not be an option. But could the nature sounds that originate there still help you? According to research by California Polytechnic State University, even a recording of the sounds of birds had a profound effect on people’s mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their wellbeing. So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature during a stroll through a wood or via some headphones. And maybe listening to the chirps, trills, warbles and whistles of some birds could help you to relax after a long, hard day. 50. What did the study by King’s College London in 2022 find? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 51. How did the National Trust conduct the study? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. According to the passage, birds singing, voiced meditation apps and the recording of the sounds of nature have the same effect on people’s mood. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 53. Besides what is mentioned in the passage, what do you usually do to help you relax in your daily life? (In about 40 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】50. Seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental wellbeing of people. 51.

Not that long ago, Johnny could barely walk a few steps because he was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). But his dream of being a runner never stopped. From the day Johnny was born, Jeff refused to let his son’s disability hold him back. Determined to show Johnny that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete, Jeff helped him engage in running. They began waking up at 4 a.m. so Jeff could run while pushing his son in a special wheelchair called a racing chair. Every morning, they drove themselves to run increasingly longer distances. Soon, they were entering 5K races, then on to Ironman competition. Jeff would act as Johnny’s arms and legs, carrying the weight of his son throughout the race. The race began with a 2.4-mile swim. Settling Johnny into a kayak, Jeff eased himself into the water. Swimming while dragging another person was very tough. But worst of all, Jeff had to struggle with jellyfish. “I occupied my mind by counting the number of times I got stung (蜇),” he says. After the two men completed the tough bike section in roughly nine hours, they set their sights on the final leg of the race — a 26.2-mile marathon. They’d been competing for 10.5 hours, leaving another 6.5 hours to make their time.But at Mile 19, Johnny saw the clock ticking down and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. Despite the tiredness, Jeff was convinced they were going all right and then picked up the pace. With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line, Jeff stopped to help Johnny out of his racing chair and handed him his rolling walker. After years of painstaking work, Johnny was determined to finish his races on his own. After 16 hours, 55 minutes and 35seconds,the father and son crossed the finish line together. As the crowd cheered on an overwhelmed Johnny, a weary Jeff kept a low profle. “My father didn’t want his finish line moment,” says Johnny, tears in eyes. “He wanted it to be mine.” 34. Why did Jeff lead Johnny to running? A. To get closer to Johnny. B. To fulfill Johnny’s dream. C. To discover Johnny’s interest. D. To speed up Johnny’s recovery. 35. What challenged Jeff most in the swimming race? A. Lack of energy. B. Pain from injuries. C Mental tiredness. D. Body weight change. 36. Which of the following can best describe Johnny according to the passage? A. Strong-willed and grateful. B. Warm-hearted and sensitive. C. Patient and generous. D. Tough and humorous. 37 What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Fathers are not born; they are made. C. The value of a loving father has no price. D. Success comes from failures along the journey. C Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave-and mighty (强大的) force will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas-even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim, “ I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet (子弹) — and stopped him cold.” Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme-is not one that can be got overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities — and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 38. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces. C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success. 39. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game? A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill. C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force. 40. What can be learned from Paragraph 5? A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless. C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little. 41. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage people to be courageous. B. To tell people the ways to achieve success. C. To advise people to build up physical power. D. To recommend people to develop more abilities. D Learning to Run An article published in the scientific journal Nature discusses an important aspect of human evolution (进化). According to Bramble and Lieberman, Professors at the University of Utah, humans have a number of features that make them surprisingly good runners. “We are confident that running was important in the origin of the human body form,” says Bramble. Traditional thinking has been that humans are poor runners compared to such animals as horses. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. Even an athlete can hardly run as quickly as a horse does, and can only keep up a top speed for 15 seconds or so. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans will do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their speed is at least at the same level with that of horses. Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 parts of human bodies. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament (韧带). When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. Then there are Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, forming the mechanical links between the muscles to the bones. They act like strong strings and help to push us forward when we run. Besides, we have low, wide shoulders, a development which allows us to run more effectively. Add to this our light forearms, which swing in co-operation with the movement of our legs to assist balance, and one begins to appreciate the point that Bramble and Lieberman are trying to make. But what advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? One theory is that this ability may have permitted early humans to get food more effectively. Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after animals for great distances to make them tired before killing them. Running would also have shown another advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals. They may have been warned of the existence of a freshly killed animal by vultures (秃鹰), and the faster they got to the scene of the kill, the better. “Research on the history of human ability of running has traditionally been controversial,” says Lieberman. “At the very least, I hope this theory will make many people have second thoughts about how humans learned to run and why we are built the way we are.” 42. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us that ________. A humans are poor runners compared to horses B. humans are good runners over long distances C. humans may run at high speed for a short time D. humans can keep the same speed when running 43. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________. A. tendons are a successful adaptation for running B. strong muscles and bones keep running effective C. the shape of shoulders affects the position of heads D. humans can run faster if they have longer forearms 44.

People may carry out a variety of activities to help them relax. But what about the birdsongs or other nature sounds? Could they also help people to let go of the tensions of modern life? According to a study by King’s College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental wellbeing of people. Taking a trip to places rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds singing to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. And it’s not just birds that could have a curative effect on our moods. Another study conducted by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation (冥想) apps. The study found listening to birdsong as well as other woodland sounds like leaves crunching underfoot or the gentle flow of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30% more than the apps do. Other sounds which may help to cool people down are waves lapping on the shore, gentle wind, and light rainfall. However, not all of us live in rural surroundings, and depending on where we live, a trip to the countryside to see birds may not be an option. But could the nature sounds that originate there still help you? According to research by California Polytechnic State University, even a recording of the sounds of birds had a profound effect on people’s mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their wellbeing. So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature during a stroll through a wood or via some headphones. And maybe listening to the chirps, trills, warbles and whistles of some birds could help you to relax after a long, hard day. 50.
