You can see animals and birds you only see on TV or in zoos. The trip starts in South Africa and finishes in Western Australia. You travel on a Russian ship, Kapitan Khlebnikov, and the holiday lasts for just under a month. ★Go on Safari This holiday is a trip to see wild animals with a difference. You travel by helicopter (直升飞机) over parts of Kenya, listening to music as you fly, and then you sleep under the African stars in a comfortable bed. There’s another trip in a hot-air balloon, which gives you a second chance to see wild animals. The best moment is the Elephant Watch in Samburu, where your experienced guide can tell you all about these amazing animals. ★Live like Robinson Crusoe If you dream of life on a quiet island, then this is the holiday for you. The island of Quilalea is off the coast of Mozambique and you can only see turtles (海龟) and a few tourists there. You may live like Robinson Crusoe: watch the turtles, go fishing, or travel in a boat to another island to have a picnic. ★Fly High This is probably the most expensive holiday in the world. You can go on a flight into space and travel around the Earth in a spaceship — if you have the money! The only problem with this holiday is the six-day training course before you take the trip. You travel above the Earth for between 30 and 90 minutes and you get a beautiful view of our green and blue planet. 11. What can you see in Go on Safari holiday? A. Outer space. B. Wild animals. C. Sea turtles. D. Russian ships. 12. If you prefer a holiday on a quiet island, which would be the best choice? A. See a Penguin. B. Go on Safari. C. Live like Robinson Crusoe. D. Fly High. 13. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain dreams. B. To share geography knowledge. C. To introduce different animals. D. To attract tourists. 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个各具特色的梦想假期。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据Go on Safari中“This holiday is a trip to see wild animals with a difference. (这个假期是一次与众不同的野生动物之旅)”可知，Go on Safari让你有机会看到野生动物。故选B。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据Live like Robinson Crusoe中“If you dream of life on a quiet island, then this is the holiday for you. (如果你梦想在一个安静的岛屿上生活，那么这个假期就是为你准备的)”可知，如果你喜欢在一个安静的岛屿上度假，Live like Robinson Crusoe会是最好的选择。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据本文题目“Four Dream Holidays”、“See a Penguin”、“Go on Safari”、“Live like Robinson Crusoe”以及“Fly High”可知，本文介绍了四个各具特色的梦想假期，目的是吸引游客去体验这些不同的假期。故选D。 B I grew up in the Philippines. When I was fifteen years old, I moved to Chicago with my family. When I was in the Philippines, I attended a small all-girl private school. While in Chicago I went to a public senior high school. It was a big change for me. The school was new, everyone was different, and people there were also diverse. I had never met so many kinds of people in just one place. I was scared during the first day of school. I didn’t know anyone. I got lost since the school was huge. I really didn’t know what to do. I just wanted to cry. Luckily, a girl of my age came to me. “Are you in trouble?” she asked me smilingly. At first I was too shy to say anything. But she looked very kind. “I’m lost. I can’t find my classroom,” I said. “Don’t worry. Let me help you, ” said the girl. So I told the girl where I was going. Luckily, she just knew that place and she took me there. On the way, the girl said she was a new student too and asked about me. When she knew I just came to the city, she said I could turn to her whenever I needed help. I was really thankful hearing that. Before the girl left, she said with a smile, “I’m sure you’ll make some new friends here soon.” What she said gave me great courage and confidence. In the following weeks, I made a lot of new friends and met so many people. My friends took me out to movies, road trips and concerts in our free time. I must thank the girl I met on my first day in that school. She made me believe people there were nice. 14. What does the underlined word “diverse” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Different. B. Confident. C.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。菲律宾女孩移居芝加哥后转入公立高中，开学日迷路时获同龄女孩帮助与鼓励，后续交到许多朋友，愉快融入新生活。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The school was new, everyone was different, and people there were also diverse. I had never met so many kinds of people in just one place. (学校是新的，每个人都不一样，那里的人也diverse。我从未在一个地方见过这么多种类的人。)”可知，“diverse” 与“different”“so many kinds of people”表意一致，意为“不同的、多样的”。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I got lost since the school was huge. I really didn’t know what to do. I just wanted to cry. Luckily, a girl of my age came to me.(因为学校很大，我迷路了。我真的不知道该怎么办。我只想哭。幸运的是，一个和我同龄的女孩来找我。)”和第二段女孩的询问“Are you in trouble? (你遇到麻烦了吗？)”以及第四段“Let me help you, (我来帮你)” 可知，女孩主动上前是想提供帮助。故选B项。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段“What she said gave me great courage and confidence.

The filters allow users to edit photos and do things like making people’s skin look clearer, their eyes a little bigger or their lips a little fuller. Some filters also allow users to change their skin colour, and it can be hard to see when a photograph has been edited in this way. People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters. Some of them are created by users and others are made by the app. TikTok posted the changes after a report by Internet matters, a children’s online safety organisation. The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say. Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app. Fun filters that allow children to add dog noses or rabbit ears to images will still be OK to use. One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok. The company said it would soon be trying out new machine learning systems that could help find out when users had entered the incorrect age, but it is under pressure to stop under 13s from using the platform by giving untrue dates of birth. Children’s safety organisations want all social media sites to do more to make the platforms safe spaces for young people. 18. What will TikTok do about certain beauty filters for young users? A. Test their safety. B. Post their advantages. C. Ban the use of them. D. Increase their users. 19. What is the influence of the beauty filters? A. It encourages creativity. B. It makes children worried. C. It develops self-esteem. D. It stops children from communicating. 20. Why is Christine Grahm mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To show the harm of beauty filters. B. To make readers more interested. C. To warn children to stay away from Internet. D. To introduce cosmetic surgery. 21. What problem does TikTok have with the ban? A. Users might not like it. B. It’s hard to check how old users are. C. Users might misunderstand the rule. D. It doesn’t receive support from parents. 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. A 21. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了TikTok将禁止18岁以下用户使用部分美颜滤镜，以及该举措的背景、原因和面临的问题。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“TikTok has reported it will block young users on the social networking platform from using certain beauty filters (滤镜) on photographs.(TikTok已宣布，将禁止该社交平台上的年轻用户在照片中使用特定美颜滤镜。)”以及第三段“People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters.(18岁以下人群将被禁止使用这些滤镜。)”可知，TikTok将禁止年轻用户使用特定美颜滤镜。故选C。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say.(该组织发现，这些美颜滤镜可能对儿童的心理健康造成危害，因为它们会给年轻人带来必须长成某种样子的压力。专家表示，这会损害儿童的自尊，引发焦虑情绪。)”可知，美颜滤镜会给年轻人带来压力，损害他们的自尊并引发焦虑。故选B。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app.(TikTok的Christine Grahm在LinkedIn上表示：“如果我们的用户感到不安全，他们就不会在TikTok上展现真实的自我，这个平台也将不复以往。”2022年，一位TikTok用户向《卫报》透露，在长期使用该应用的美颜滤镜后，她曾考虑过接受美容手术。)”可知，Christine Graham作为TikTok的相关人士，他认为如果用户感到不安全，就不会在TikTok上展现真实的自我，结合前文提到的美颜滤镜对儿童心理健康的危害，以及后文用户因使用滤镜考虑美容手术的案例，本质是为了佐证美颜滤镜的负面影响。故选A。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok.(这项禁令存在一个问题：并非所有用户在注册TikTok时都会填写真实年龄。)”可知，这项禁令面临的问题是用户注册时可能不填写真实年龄，导致TikTok难以核实用户实际年龄。故选B。 D Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich. However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You've most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren't close. And finally, there's a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don't know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter. 22. What are the studies in the first paragraph mainly about? A. Some useful advice on how to make friends. B. Some social skills you may need at work. C. The advantages of having a lot of friends. D. The number of friends you should have. 23. What is Robin Dunbar's attitude towards the studies? A. Disagreeable. B. Unclear. C. Hopeful. D. Careless. 24. What does the text mainly want to show? A. It's more important to have good friends than lots of friends. B. Friends are sometimes more important than family. C. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. D. You need to spend more time with your friends. 25. In which part of a newspaper can we read the text? A. Nature. B. Technology. C. Lifestyle. D. Education. 【答案】22. C 23. A 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕 “朋友数量与质量” 展开，通过不同研究对比，最终指出真正有意义的友谊在于质量而非数量，且人能维系的有意义关系存在上限。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers in Australia, who studied 1, 500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of10, 000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life.(澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现有好朋友能让人长寿。美国一项对1万名学生长达35年的研究也发现，如果你在学校里交的朋友比一般人多，你以后的薪水就会更高。)”可知，第一段中提到的研究主要是关有很多朋友的好处。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference..(然而，据牛津大学的Robin Dunbar教授说，这可能不会产生任何影响。)”可推知，Robin Dunbar对研究持不赞成的态度。故选A。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.(如果你有很多网友，不妨做这个实验：首先删掉任何一个你一年都没联系过的人。接着移除那些你记不起来的人，最后，去掉那些你不介意失去联系的朋友。你还剩下多少人呢？这些人中又有多少是真正的好朋友呢？根据这项研究，只有这些人才是真正重要的。)”可知，文章想要表达有好朋友比有很多朋友更重要。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Researchers in Australia, who studied 1, 500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of10, 000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life.(澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现有好朋友能让人长寿。美国一项对1万名学生长达35年的研究也发现，如果你在学校里交的朋友比一般人多，你以后的薪水就会更高。)”和全文内容可知，文章围绕 “朋友数量与质量” 展开，通过不同研究对比，最终指出真正有意义的友谊在于质量而非数量，且人能维系的有意义关系存在上限。由此可推知，文章最有可能出自报纸的生活方式板块。故选C项。 A. Nature. B. Technology. C. Lifestyle. D. Education. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题 2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you trying to find the best time for exercise? ___26___ Follow these tips to find out what fitness routine works best for you. Dawn (黎明), dusk or dead of night — when’s the best time to work out? Well, that depends on when’s the best time for you, because the advantages of physical activity depend upon how consistent (持续地) you are. ___27___ But if you’re not a morning person, it may not work for you to try to get up at dawn to work out. The key is to do what’s most likely to work for you consistently. If your schedule changes often, stay flexible (灵活的) . ___28___ If late-night workouts make it hard to sleep, try exercising earlier in the day. Or, change to gentler, more relaxing activities instead. ___29___ If you’re a social person, do something that engages you socially. Take a group exercise class, join a recreational team or walk with a group of friends. If you prefer having time alone, walking, swimming or biking solo might be a better fit for you. If you’d like to spend more time with your family, find an activity you can all do together. There are so many choices. ___30___ Having different kinds of fitness activities to choose from may keep you from getting bored or burnt out. A Try more than one. B. The truth is, it’s personal! C.

You might have heard that the best time to exercise is early in the morning. 【答案】26. B 27. G 28. C 29. E 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了找到适合自己的运动时间和运动方式的相关建议，强调运动需持续、灵活且贴合自身情况。 【26题详解】 上文“Are you trying to find the best time for exercise?(你是否在寻找最适合运动的时间？)”提出寻找最佳运动时间的问题；选项B“The truth is, it’s personal!(事实是，这因人而异！)”既回答了上文的问题，同时为下文“Follow these tips to find out what fitness routine works best for you.(遵循以下建议，找到最适合你的健身计划。)”铺垫逻辑，衔接自然。故选B。 【27题详解】 空后“But if you’re not a morning person, it may not work for you to try to get up at dawn to work out.(但如果你不是早起的人，非要黎明时分起床锻炼可能并不适合你。)”以“but”转折，指出非早起者不适合黎明锻炼；选项G“You might have heard that the best time to exercise is early in the morning. (你可能听过清晨是最佳运动时间的说法。)”恰好与后文转折逻辑呼应。故选G。 【28题详解】 上文“If your schedule changes often, stay flexible (灵活的) .(如果你的日程安排经常变动，就要保持灵活。)”指出日程多变时需保持灵活。选项C“Make plans based on the times of day. (根据一天中的不同时段制定计划。)”延续上文内容，直接给出灵活调整的核心原则。故选C。 【29题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主题句。根据下文“If you’re a social person, do something that engages you socially. Take a group exercise class, join a recreational team or walk with a group of friends. If you prefer having time alone, walking, swimming or biking solo might be a better fit for you. If you’d like to spend more time with your family, find an activity you can all do together.(如果你是喜欢社交的人，就选能让你参与社交的运动。参加团体健身课、加入休闲运动队，或是和一群朋友一起散步。如果你更喜欢独处，独自散步、游泳或骑自行车可能更适合你。如果你想多花点时间陪伴家人，就找一项全家人都能一起参与的活动。)”可知，本段主要讲述了要选择贴合自身偏好的运动。选项E“To stay encouraged, choose activities you enjoy.(为了保持动力，选择你喜欢的运动)”精准概括段落核心。故选E。 【30题详解】 空前“There are so many choices.(运动的选择有很多。)”提到运动选择有很多；选项A“Try more than one. (不妨多尝试几种。)”承接了上文的多选择，同时又引出下文“Having different kinds of fitness activities to choose from may keep you from getting bored or burnt out.(拥有多种健身活动可供选择，能让你避免感到无聊或过度疲劳。)”，即多种运动可避免无聊或过度疲劳。故选A。 三、语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 When I was 15, I joined an exchange student programme.

You can see animals and birds you only see on TV or in zoos. The trip starts in South Africa and finishes in Western Australia. You travel on a Russian ship, Kapitan Khlebnikov, and the holiday lasts for just under a month. ★Go on Safari This holiday is a trip to see wild animals with a difference. You travel by helicopter (直升飞机) over parts of Kenya, listening to music as you fly, and then you sleep under the African stars in a comfortable bed. There’s another trip in a hot-air balloon, which gives you a second chance to see wild animals. The best moment is the Elephant Watch in Samburu, where your experienced guide can tell you all about these amazing animals. ★Live like Robinson Crusoe If you dream of life on a quiet island, then this is the holiday for you. The island of Quilalea is off the coast of Mozambique and you can only see turtles (海龟) and a few tourists there. You may live like Robinson Crusoe: watch the turtles, go fishing, or travel in a boat to another island to have a picnic. ★Fly High This is probably the most expensive holiday in the world. You can go on a flight into space and travel around the Earth in a spaceship — if you have the money! The only problem with this holiday is the six-day training course before you take the trip. You travel above the Earth for between 30 and 90 minutes and you get a beautiful view of our green and blue planet. 11. What can you see in Go on Safari holiday? A. Outer space. B. Wild animals. C. Sea turtles. D. Russian ships. 12. If you prefer a holiday on a quiet island, which would be the best choice? A. See a Penguin. B. Go on Safari. C. Live like Robinson Crusoe. D. Fly High. 13. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain dreams. B. To share geography knowledge. C. To introduce different animals. D. To attract tourists. B I grew up in the Philippines. When I was fifteen years old, I moved to Chicago with my family. When I was in the Philippines, I attended a small all-girl private school. While in Chicago I went to a public senior high school. It was a big change for me. The school was new, everyone was different, and people there were also diverse. I had never met so many kinds of people in just one place. I was scared during the first day of school. I didn’t know anyone. I got lost since the school was huge. I really didn’t know what to do. I just wanted to cry. Luckily, a girl of my age came to me. “Are you in trouble?” she asked me smilingly. At first I was too shy to say anything. But she looked very kind. “I’m lost. I can’t find my classroom,” I said. “Don’t worry. Let me help you, ” said the girl. So I told the girl where I was going. Luckily, she just knew that place and she took me there. On the way, the girl said she was a new student too and asked about me. When she knew I just came to the city, she said I could turn to her whenever I needed help. I was really thankful hearing that. Before the girl left, she said with a smile, “I’m sure you’ll make some new friends here soon.” What she said gave me great courage and confidence. In the following weeks, I made a lot of new friends and met so many people. My friends took me out to movies, road trips and concerts in our free time. I must thank the girl I met on my first day in that school. She made me believe people there were nice. 14. What does the underlined word “diverse” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Different. B. Confident. C. Serious. D. Bad. 15. Why did the girl come to the author? A. She knew the school well. B. She wanted to offer help. C. She needed some help. D. She wanted a new friend. 16. What did the author think of what the girl said before she left? A. Worrying. B. Unbelievable. C. Encouraging. D. Interesting. 17. What do we know about the author in the following weeks? A. She failed to make new friends. B. She missed her parents very much. C. She had difficulty doing her schoolwork. D. She really enjoyed her life. C TikTok has reported it will block young users on the social networking platform from using certain beauty filters (滤镜) on photographs. The filters allow users to edit photos and do things like making people’s skin look clearer, their eyes a little bigger or their lips a little fuller. Some filters also allow users to change their skin colour, and it can be hard to see when a photograph has been edited in this way. People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters. Some of them are created by users and others are made by the app. TikTok posted the changes after a report by Internet matters, a children’s online safety organisation. The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say. Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app. Fun filters that allow children to add dog noses or rabbit ears to images will still be OK to use. One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok. The company said it would soon be trying out new machine learning systems that could help find out when users had entered the incorrect age, but it is under pressure to stop under 13s from using the platform by giving untrue dates of birth. Children’s safety organisations want all social media sites to do more to make the platforms safe spaces for young people. 18. What will TikTok do about certain beauty filters for young users? A. Test their safety. B. Post their advantages. C. Ban the use of them. D. Increase their users. 19. What is the influence of the beauty filters? A. It encourages creativity. B. It makes children worried. C. It develops self-esteem. D. It stops children from communicating. 20. Why is Christine Grahm mentioned in Paragraph 4? A To show the harm of beauty filters. B. To make readers more interested. C. To warn children to stay away from Internet. D. To introduce cosmetic surgery. 21. What problem does TikTok have with the ban? A. Users might not like it. B. It’s hard to check how old users are. C Users might misunderstand the rule. D. It doesn’t receive support from parents. D Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich. However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You've most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren't close. And finally, there's a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don't know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter. 22. What are the studies in the first paragraph mainly about? A. Some useful advice on how to make friends. B. Some social skills you may need at work. C. The advantages of having a lot of friends. D. The number of friends you should have. 23. What is Robin Dunbar's attitude towards the studies? A. Disagreeable. B. Unclear. C. Hopeful. D. Careless. 24. What does the text mainly want to show? A. It's more important to have good friends than lots of friends. B. Friends are sometimes more important than family. C. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. D. You need to spend more time with your friends. 25. In which part of a newspaper can we read the text? A. Nature. B. Technology. C. Lifestyle. D. Education. A. Nature. B. Technology. C. Lifestyle. D. Education. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题 2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you trying to find the best time for exercise? ___26___ Follow these tips to find out what fitness routine works best for you. Dawn (黎明), dusk or dead of night — when’s the best time to work out? Well, that depends on when’s the best time for you, because the advantages of physical activity depend upon how consistent (持续地) you are. ___27___ But if you’re not a morning person, it may not work for you to try to get up at dawn to work out. The key is to do what’s most likely to work for you consistently. If your schedule changes often, stay flexible (灵活的) . ___28___ If late-night workouts make it hard to sleep, try exercising earlier in the day.
