Lyle Mile Challenge Fort Matilda,Renfrewshire,1 January For some reason,RunKeeper marks the route for this race as"easy".Nothing could be further from the truth. A mile is never an easy distance to race,and this mile goes several steps further.Every inch of the route is uphill, starting at just above sea level near Fort Matilda train station.Once you catch your breath,you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view across the water to Kilcreggan,weather permitting. Romsey 5 Mile Romsey,Hampshire,19 January There aren't a lot of five mile events out there to choose from,so this fast and flat event attracts a large number of runners from the super-speedy to the normal-speedy like the rest of us.This popularity can make the start a bit crowded but the runners will spread out soon,allowing you to enjoy a well-supported and well-organized race in the nice area of the Broadlands Estate. First Chance 10K Exeter,Devon,5 January This 10K is fast ana flat,so a good time should be possible,even if the sandy surface might not be quite as quick as tarmac )You'll mostly be following the various branches of the River Bxe just outside Exeter. This course will be absolutely wonderful on a cold winter's moming. Windmill Way Wander 2025 Bury St Edmunds,Suffolk,18 January There are options for every distance from 5K to 47K,but note that this event is not flat just because it's on oads.Road conditions differ almost constantly,but with'a generous seven-hour time limit you don't have to rush f you don't want to. 21.What is special about Lyle Mile Challenge?

C.They are held on the same day. D.The runners should be super-speedy. B Imagine if your textbooks turned into comic books,you could learn from comic stories instead of chumnks (大块)oftexts.Does it sound useful? This is what comic painter"Brother Hunzi",or Chen Lei.has been devoted to doing.He wants to help ispread knowledge through comic books which have comie characters with exaggerated (facial expressions,body language and funny dialogues.So far,Chen and his team have published a series of books about philosophy,economics,literature and much more. "When I was in middle school,I had no interest in history,"Chen said."I couldn't remember historical facts though I studied hard."However,in college,Chen played a computer game about Werld War II which aroused his interest in history."I had no knowledge of the characters and historical background of the game,so I read lots of books about the history from that period,"Chen said.He realized that he didn't master effective learning methods,or his interest hadn't been aroused. In 2015,after finding his enthusiasm for spreading knowledge in a humorous way,he decided to quit his job.He now has his own educational comic book business.The job is quite demanding.Besides basic drawing skills,"You must have a strong ability to learn independently and think logically,"Chen said."T have to absorb professional knowledge from many different fields."In January 2021,he released a comic book along with Zhang Wenhong,a well-respected disease expert.Also in 2021,a comic book about the history of the Communist Party of China came out which took them 6 months to study the materials. Chen's brand "Brother Hunzi"has attracted millions of followers on social media platforms.Chen said he is just a“porter(搬运工)”of knowledge,but his goal is to“help people learn more easily”. 24.Why does Chen devote to making comic books? A.To attract public's attention. B.To spread educational information. C.To promote funny comic characters. D.To replace textbooks with comic books. 25.What can we infer from the third paragraph? A.Chen found his.passion in computer games. B.Chen hardly studied history in middle school. C.Chen made comic books about his college life D.Chen figured out how to learn effectively later. 26.Which of the following can best describe Chen and his team? A.Stressed and artistic. B.Funny and confident. C.Concerned and respectful. D.Well-rounded and humorous. 27.What is the best title of the passage A.Chen Rules Comic Industry B."Brother Hunzr Helps Learn C.Textbooks Fall Behind Times D.Comic Books Wins Popularity C A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology:predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins.Most of this work was done at a tech company marking a notable shift that high-level scientific research can also originate outside traditional academic settings. Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process.The shape of a protein determines its function.If a protein is shaped incorrectly,it can cause serious diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes.Historically,predicting a protein's shape from its amino acid sequence (was very difficult and puzzled scientists for decades. The breakthrough happened with A-Fold,a machine learning program that can accurately predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences.This tool has changed the field,providing insights into-the structure of over 200 million proteins so far.This data is expected to speed up progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases. The tech company's success with A-Fold also underscores the growing impact of artificial intelligence in various scientific domains,showing that Al can tackle complex biological problems and.contribute to.critical advancements in health and medicine. The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value-of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results.This achievement not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems. 28.Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? A.They discovered a cure for Alzheimer's and diabetes. B.They analyzed the functions of essential body elements. C.They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program. D.They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research. 29.Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function? A.It leads to the development of the diseases. B.It offers insights into the structure of protein. C.It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug.D.It affects the protein's'role in biological processes. 30.What does the underlined word "underscore"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Minimize. B.Highlight. C.Question. D.Overlook. 31.What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research? A.A new focus on solving biological problems. B.An amazing change in academic research settings. C.An increase in joint efforts between different fields. D.A lessened dependence on machine learning techniques. D Scientists agree glacial melting(冰山的融化)is linked to climate change caused by human activity.Bach year in the Swiss Alps,a group of residents (makes its way to the Rhone Glacier to cover up the ice in huge white blankets that reflect the sun to prevent melting. The blankets might seem like a quick fix but they could reduce seasonal melting by up to 70 percent.The residents near the.Swiss glacier have used the blankets every summer for the last eight years.It's a popular tourist destination,but the ice has been melting over the last 10 years.About 131 feet of the roughly 5-mile-long glacier have disappeared in that time. And it's not the only effort to stop or slow glacial melting.Scientists are now proposing higher-tech solutions to further slow the impact of global warming on glacial ice around the world:One idea is to build mounds of sand and stone underwater at the mouth of at-risk glaciers near the sea,such as Thwaites Glacier in the Antarctic.The walls,which would stretch()for miles on the seafloor,would slow or prevent their collapse. Robinson Meyer explained that if these mounds work,glaciers that would otherwise collapse in 100 years could last for another millennium ()The proposal would not only protect the glacier but also hold off sea-level rise by preventing the meltwater from entering the ocean. Last year,another group of scientists came up with a plan to cover a part of glaciers in the Swiss Alps with artificial snow.The idea was a higher-tech version of the huge blankets;both the blankets and the snow reflect the sun rather than absorbing it.Unlike the use of blankets to protect ice,these ideas are still hypothetical ()So whether these fixes have any real potential on a large,real-life scale remains to be seen. 32.What do we know about the white blanket way according to the text? A.Effective but quick. B.Convenient but costly. C.Approachable but fancy. D.Adaptive but impractical. 33.How would scientists protect Thwaites Glacier?- A.Prevent sea water from covering up glaciers. B.Apply new technology to reducing global warming. C.Build walls at the meeting point of the glacier and the sea. D.Expand seashore.and seafloor around and in the Antarctic. 34.How many ways to slow glaciers melting are introduced in the text? A.Two B.Three. C.Four. D.Five. 35.What can we infer in the last paragraph? A.Artificial snow can absorb more sunlight. B.These strategies have been put into practical use. C.New technology could cause more glaciers melting. D.The blankets and snow fixes are based on a similar rule. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） E If you feel sad or anxious during the winter months,you're not alonc.Seasonal depression(),also called seasonal affective disorder(SAD),is a mental health condition that people always experence during winter.36 Here are some things you can do to feel better.
