I'll never become an expert climate, but I successfully completed the course in ice climbing ten years ago, and I did a series of easy claims s in the alps during the next few years. After that, my wife doesn't share my interest. SHE went climbing with me once, but he found he felt ill as soon as he got about one thousand meters. So we decided to follow different hobby. Anyway, I enjoy myself by doing sports. Listen to the next question. Hello, i'm kate to sadi, and i'm here to talk about my hobby, which is skydiving in the UK. This is still seen as something done by crazy Young people. But in the U. S. A, skydiving is a hobby that has been taken up by people from all age groups, by anyone looking for excitement, from twenty year olds to old people enjoying active life. After leaving their jobs, I wanted to do skydiving as a teenager, but my parents wouldn't give their permission. So my first jump was as a university student when I was able to get a discount. Immediately I was attracted. I couldn't afford to do IT regularly, though, until I started working as a lawyer. Why do I do IT? Well, sky diving makes you feel great. You forget all your problems. There aren't really any health benefit, although I know several business men with stressful jobs who do sky diving to help them relax. Of course, some people start skydiving to help them get over a fear of heights. In a word, skydiving, great. IT gives you a whole new idea on life.

Although it’s not in the best condition, it still works. M: Cool! Did your dad teach you how to shoot photos? W: Yeah. He used to shoot travel and wildlife photos. He’d show us amazing pictures when he returned from his trips. M: Awesome. I’d love to record my memories with family and friends by taking photos. W: Me too. But these days, I mostly shoot street photos. I find it attractive to capture the moments about different cities and various people. M: I’d like to try photography soon. Hopefully, I can create a new hobby out of it! 3. C 4. A 5. C 【原文】 W: What are you doing, Tom? M: I’m reading the book Robinson Crusoe. W: I tried to read the book earlier this year. But there were just too many new words for me. I had to give up after reading for about ten minutes. M: But this book is easy for me. There were three levels to choose from at the bookstore. W: Really? M: Yes. Level 1, written in the present tense. Level 2, using the past tense, and Level 3, being the most challenging, employs more complex grammar and vocabulary. I chose the easiest level. W: Then I’ll also give the book in this level a try. I’ll go and buy a copy this weekend. M: It’s unnecessary. You can read mine after I finish it. You only need to wait for a few days. W: That’s great! Thank you, Tom. 6. B 7. B 8. C 【原文】 M: Hi, Mary. I’m taking lessons at the art center. W: Really? Which instrument are you learning, the piano or the guitar? M: Neither. I’m learning the drums. W: Oh, I thought you wanted to learn the piano like me. M: I do, but I think it will be too difficult. W: It takes time to become good at the piano, but I found it fairly easy. And now I’m pretty good at it; it’s time to have lessons on something else. M: I do think you should come to drum lessons with me. W: My parents wouldn’t be happy if I practiced at home, though. They really enjoy a quiet environment. I think the guitar would be a better choice, so I’m going for that. M: OK. That makes sense. 9. B 10. C 【原文】 M: Nina! Long time no see! Still working at that advertising agency? W: Yeah! I’ve been their fashion photographer for three years now. And guess what? Two years ago, I decided to pursue my passion for fashion design and started taking evening classes. M: Whoa! Studying design while working full-time? That’s impressive! Are you enjoying it? W: Yeah, I think it’s great. I particularly like working with different materials like wool and leather. And I’ve just made a beautiful scarf and it’s made out of plastic. It looks very strange but I think it’s pretty amazing! 11. A 12. B 13. C 【原文】 A: What kind of sports do you like? B: I like playing basketball and swimming, but I like climbing mountains best. What about you? A: I always have lots of work to do, so I don’t have enough time to exercise. B: Don’t make any excuses. You can always find some time to exercise if you want. A: But I’m really busy. I work for 10 hours every day, you know. B: I know you work hard, but it's important to exercise. A: I see. I do feel tired every now and then and I know exercise can help me become more energetic. But what can I do? B: You can start with working one hour, then stand up, stretch a little bit and walk around. A: But I’m afraid I can’t finish my tasks with less time. B: Trust me, you will feel much better with more exercise and become more efficient in work. A: Ok, I will try. Thank you. 14. C 15. A 16. C 【原文】 M1: Wow, these oil paintings and watercolor paintings are beautiful! Wilson, did you paint them all? M2: Yes. And that crayon painting is also my work. M1: Brilliant. Ms. Carter, I must say your son is talented. W: Thanks. However, I always think about how to preserve and display his works. M1: Kids always want their works to be well preserved and displayed. For my daughter Juno, I turned the hallway into her personal art gallery — kindergarten paper cuttings, primary school sculptures, even her junior high poems. M2: That's cool! Mom, can I have my personal art gallery? W: Great idea but there's no spare room in our house. M1: Well, you can take high-quality photos of his paintings. Then you can create an account on social media to post those photos. W: That's a fantastic plan! 17. C 18. B 19. A 【原文】 W: Do you want to look at my dolls? I love collecting them. I have 50 now and I'm getting another one tomorrow. I have all different kinds. Some of them are old and others are modern, but each one is unique. M: It's a nice collection. W: Sure, especially these, look, this one from China is wearing a traditional Chinese dress. The dress is often made of silk with detailed patterns. The colors are rich, usually in red, gold or purple, which symbolize good fortune. What a beautiful piece of art, this is a good way to know about the traditions, customs and beliefs of a country. M: Wonderful. I used to collect things too when I was your age. W: Tell me about it. M: When I used to go to the post office, I was always interested in the small colorful items on the envelopes. So, I started to collect them from all over the world, and I learned a lot about different countries. Some featured beautiful landscapes, historical figures or cultural symbols. W: That's cool. Do you still have your collection? M: Yes, it's in a special album. I haven't added to it in years, but it's still a great memory from my childhood. W: You're right. I want to keep my collection forever, too. 20. B 21. C 22. B 【原文】 A: Liz, what sort of music did you like when you were younger? B: Well, my parents were big fans of jazz and classical music, so I heard a lot of those. I didn’t take to them, though. As a kid, I loved pop music on TV, like all my friends. A: Did you broaden your musical taste later? B: Yes. I tried other things in my teens. But the music I got into was a reaction against what my classmates liked. I wasn’t very interested in fitting in, you see. A: How do you go about writing a song? B: Well. I usually write alone in my room and only ask friends what they think when the songs finally released. A: How did you feel about winning an award at that big ceremony? B: I didn’t expect to win because I was up against some big names. I think I won, maybe because I wrote my own songs. And I was being given some recognition for that. 23. A 24. B 25. C 26. C 【原文】 W: So tell me, Ben, what made you start collecting picture postcards? M: As a boy, I often saw postcards at the seaside, but I didn’t find them interesting. That suddenly changed a few years ago when I discovered hundreds of them in the spare room. They were so beautiful that I started collecting cards. W: Whose collection was it? M: Well, my grandfather used to send postcards home from all over the world. My mom and uncle would always read them, but finally, it was Mom who decided to keep them all. That’s how the family collection began. W: Which kind of postcards do you like best these days? M: Well, I still like the ones with pictures of famous harbors, like Sydney. And I’ve also got some that have beautiful photos of religious buildings. But above all, I love the ones which show ships, trains and planes from the last century. W: What do you think of those old postcards? M: They’re wonderful. Some of the pictures were drawn by top-class artists. And what makes me laugh is not the jokes themselves but how out-of-date they seem now. They tell us a lot about how differently people saw things in those days. 27. A 28. C 29. B 30. C 【原文】 M: What do you like doing in your free time, Anna? W: I love painting. I often draw landscapes in the park, especially at sunset. How about you? M: I play the guitar. I’m in a band with my classmates. We practice every weekend at the school studio. W: Do you perform in public, like at the upcoming talent show? M: Yes, at school festivals and local cafes. It’s exciting but a bit stressful before each performance. W: I believe you’re great. Maybe I can paint a live portrait while your band plays. M: That’s a unique idea. Let’s try it at the next event, maybe the charity fair, next month. We can invite more friends, too. W: Should I bring my watercolors or oil paints? M: Watercolors are lighter. I’ll tell the band to play soft tunes that match your painting style. 31. B 32. A 33. A 【原文】 These days, people have more spare time thanks to all the developments in science and technology. But how do we spend free time? I prefer to go outdoors and spend my free time in different places and meet some new people. The main reason I like outdoor activities is that I spend a lot of time indoors. Most of my time is spent sitting in a classroom, listening to the teachers and doing my exercises. Also, indoor activities are too limited. So when I am free, I like to get out. Another reason is that I want to have more experiences. When I go out, I will meet lots of people who are quite different from me. It offers the chance to learn about different cultures and take part in exciting experiences. However, outdoor activities cost a lot of money and energy. If I’m not prepared to go outside, having fun indoors is also a good choice. It may also be cheaper and easier than going outside. I think reading books and enjoying music are both good indoor activities. 34. C 35. A 36. C 【原文】 W: It’s quite incredible how a simple hobby can turn into a fulfilling and successful career. I want to share my journey with you, starting from my love for photography. I used to take pictures of landscapes and people during my free time. It was my way of capturing life’s beautiful moments and expressing my creativity. Little did I expect that this passion would lead to a career. Over time, I improved my skills by experimenting with various techniques and attending photography workshops. Friends and family began to notice my talent and asked me to photograph their events. This was the turning point. I started doing small jobs like capturing weddings, parties, and special moments. Word of mouth quickly spread, and soon, I was in demand as a photographer. As my client base expanded, so did my confidence and ambition. I realized I could turn my hobby into a full-time career. However, this journey had its challenges. The pressure of delivering perfect photos, the irregular income, and the competition in the photography world tested my patience. Now, I’ve established my own photography business, specializing in portrait (肖像) photography. I’ve traveled to beautiful places, met wonderful people, and captured countless unforgettable moments. My future plans include exploring new types of photography, teaching ambitious photographers, and continuing to find new ways to tell domestic stories through my camera. 37. A 38. C 39. C 40. A 【原文】 M: As a young child, I always enjoyed physical challenges more than mental ones. I liked to run and build swings. At that stage I hadn’t yet learned to climb or swim, but I would have loved to try those too. One day we had a physical education class at school. We did the long jump and handstands, but it was when I tried to do a forward roll that disaster struck. Somehow, I twisted my neck in an extremely painful way. I screamed loudly and the teachers were very concerned. An ambulance was called and I was taken to hospital. The doctors fitted me with a collar and I was told to avoid exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first, I was very bored. Having to keep still all day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf at home. I wasn’t interested in love stories — I avoided those — but crime and adventure did appeal to me. During those eight weeks I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my collar was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks. Instead of being disappointed, I was happy to devote more time to my new love — reading. 41. A 42. B 43. C 44. A 【原文】 When we think of gardening, many imagine an elderly person tending plants in their front yard. However, a recent study among 2000 young adults aged 18 to 34 reveals that gardening is gaining popularity among the younger generation. Kev Smith, who led the study, stated that gardening is suitable for people of all ages. On average, these young adults spent about two hours a week caring for their plants. Two thirds of the participants mentioned that they enjoy shopping for gardening essentials such as seeds and tools. Interestingly, gardening gloves are the most frequent, purchased and used item. The kitchen window is the most favored spot for growing plants, followed by living rooms, bathrooms and balconies. While 60% of those surveys wish they had more outdoor space 78% believe that a large area isn’t necessary to enjoy the benefits of gardening. Gardening is excellent for mental health, as it encourages focus, involves repetitive actions and engages the senses, especially touch and smell. 45. A 46. C 47. C 【原文】 W: Winter was approaching. Jason was excited about the coming season. It was his favorite time of the year. He loved cold weather and snow. During winter, he always played with snow, even as an adult. Jason would gather his family and friends at the park, where they had snowball fights. It was a lot of fun. His favorite holiday Christmas came in winter. This was another reason why Jason loved winter. Every year, he bought presents for his friends and family. Jason loved seeing the look on their faces when they unwrapped their Christmas presents. It was better to give than to receive, Jason thought. Jason loved everything about Christmas. He loved Christmas music. He loved playing with his children under the Christmas tree. Jason sometimes even dressed up as Santa Claus for fun and entertained his children. Jason could not stop thinking about winter. He could not wait any longer. However, it was barely in the middle of July. It was summer. 48. B 49. A 50. C 51. C 【原文】 M: My name is Michael Bryce, and I love to ski and snowboard. I am 16 years old and I have been skiing since I was five and snowboarding since I was eight. Both my parents like skiing. My elder brother likes snowboarding. In my opinion. snowboarding is more fun and exciting than skiing. When I ski, it feels really easy to control where I go and how I move. The ski poles make it very simple to change my direction. There are no poles in snowboarding, however. So, when you snow board, you have to understand the snow very well to make sure you don’t fall. The feeling I get while I’m snowboarding is more exciting than when I’m skiing. I enjoy the challenge. In my opinion, snowboarding is actually safer than skiing, because when you ski, you were standing on two skis. If you fall while on skis, it is very easy to break your bones by getting your skis stuck in the snow. On a snow board, your legs stay together even when you fall. 52. A 53. C 54. B 【原文】 W: How many bicycles do you need in your life? For 67-year-old Chai Lin, the answer is 1,300. Chai’s passion for bicycles dates back to the 1960s. However, a bicycle was very expensive then. Thanks to all the efforts and support in his family, Chai got his first bike in 1980. After becoming a successful businessman years later, Chai began to collect bikes of various brands and ages, especially antiques, from around the world. Hard-won items have brought Chai great satisfaction. With his collection growing, there was no space big enough to keep it. In 2009, he invested 200 million yuan for a museum just for his bikes. After 10 years’ efforts, the Gansu Sanmu Bicycle Museum finally opened to the public in January 2019, free of charge. The museum stores not only bikes, some 200 years old, but also some 13,500 bike-related parts, books and photos. The museum has been used as an off-campus research center for local primary and middle school students and is also popular with tourists. Chai has equipped the museum with the latest technology. Due to limited space, a large part of Chai’s collection is not yet exhibited. Chai hopes to enlarge the displaying area. 55. B 56. B 57. C 58. B 【原文】 Although the average golfer is a bit older, I started playing the game when I was 12 years old. At that time, I was fortunate to have youth golf camps available at my school. A group of friends and I practiced at these camps to be able to join our school team and play against others. Afterwards, I was invited to play in my first amateur tournament. Then, I taught my dad how to play while we toured the world for amateur tournaments. We played at famous golf courses like St. Andrew’s in Scotland, which is regarded as the place where the game was invented. Meanwhile, I played in tournaments like the junior British Open in England. Still, I had no idea where my athletic career would take me. Upon returning to the US, my dad became my manager and we invested all of our time into the sport. Then I worked my way up to play in the most essential tournament in the world — the Master’s Tournament. And in the US Open tournament, I won a total prize amount of $15 million. I owe all my successes to two things: my father’s constant effort and having a golf camp available to me when I was a child. No matter what happens, I will support my father and will provide groups of children with that same opportunity that benefited me so much. 59. B 60. A 61. C 62. B 【原文】 M: Hi, I’m Mike. Now I want to tell you something about my after-work activities. I’m interested in sports. I exercise every day to keep healthy. I enjoy running particularly. I run across fields and jump over streams around my home every morning. While I’m running, I think about all sorts of things. Sometimes I’m surprised to find that I’ve managed to solve the problem that was on my mind. I’m going to try London Marathon next year. It’s a long hard race, but I want to do it very much. I’m interested in climbing as well. I’ll never become an expert climber, but I successfully completed a course in ice climbing ten years ago, and I did a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the next few years after that. My wife doesn’t share my interests. She went climbing with me once but she found she felt ill as soon as she got about 1,000 metres. So we decided to follow different hobbies. Anyway, I enjoy myself by doing sports. 63. A 64. B 65. B 66. C 【原文】   W: Hello I’m Kate Assadi, and I’m here to talk about my hobby, which is skydiving. In the UK, this is still seen as something done by crazy young people! But in the USA, skydiving is a hobby that has been taken up by people from all age groups, by anyone looking for excitement, from twenty-year-olds to old people enjoying active life after leaving their jobs. I wanted to do skydiving as a teenager, but my parents wouldn’t give their permission. So, my first jump was as a university student, when I was able to get a discount. Immediately, I was attracted! I couldn’t afford to do it regularly though, until I started working as a lawyer. Why do I do it? Well, skydiving makes you feel great — you forget all your problems. There aren’t really any health benefits. Although I know several businessmen with stressful jobs who do skydiving to help them relax. Of course, some people start skydiving to help them get over a fear of heights. In a word, skydiving’s great. It gives you a whole new idea on life! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
