Reading Night in Community
This will be my third year hosting a reading night with one of our community partners, the Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWA). ReWA has a few sites located throughout our city and they run one of their preschools a short walk away from our library. They invited me to come to talk to their families about the library’s services as well as provide any tips on raising lifelong readers, hoping to get families excited about reading. Here is what I have planned for this year's reading night.
The Presentation
Aside from going over the different services our library provides, I also take the time to talk about the Five Activities to Raise a Reader. These activities are:
Sing to or with your children in any language to help them learn word sounds
Read (and reread) to your children to help them learn to love stories.
Write with your children to help them create and see words and symbols on a page.
Talk with your children to help them learn to communicate and be ready to read.
Play with your children to help them use words to express themselves.
The Books
What’s a reading night without books?! I am grateful that we’ve been able to provide families who attend the reading night with books in their native languages! Seeing the families pick out which books they want to take home is my favorite part of the night. It also helps me learn what types of books families want to see more of in our library.
Overall
While the reading night we jointly host generally focuses more on library services and the 5 activities to raise a reader, this time we particularly hope it can encourage the children and their families who otherwise might not come into the library to further develop their reading skills.
1. Why does ReWA invite the author?
A. To enrich library services. B. To share tips on raising children.
C. To promote family reading interest. D. To collect book preference data.
2. What do the five activities have in common?
A. They require professional guidance.
B. They rely on advanced reading materials.
C. They help children know more library rules.
D. They involve much parent-child interaction.
3. Which group does the reading night particularly want to influence this time?
A. Those who seldom go to library. B. Those who are lifelong readers.
C. Those with superb reading skills. D. Those who regularly visit library.

Diana Sharma came to New Zealand as an international student to study business. Her journey soon took an unexpected turn toward technology, setting the stage for an inspiring career shift. Today, Diana is the founder and CEO of Mission Ready — New Zealand’s first successful tech-training provider.
Diana was born in Kuwait and went to high school in India. When she left high school she thought a career in hospitality (酒店业) would be “cool” but after a three-year degree, a short period of time as a management trainee, she realised hospitality was not her thing. Seeking a career that matched with her passions, she explored different paths and discovered her love for corporate talent development.
After researching university programmes worldwide, she finally chose New Zealand. In 2009, Diana took up a Postgraduate Diploma in Business at Unitec in Auckland. The one-year programme was like nothing she’d ever experienced before. Her professor took an innovative approach, teaching his students how to work with companies to help them solve real business problems. Diana grew quickly in this environment and gained so much confidence that she suggested to her professor they try something different. His response? “Bring it on!”
At Unitec Diana’s various roles focused on exploring innovative approaches to education and promoting partnerships with industry and international education providers. Those partnerships exposed her to a gap in the tech market where companies were crying out for talent, yet graduates were not getting hired. This gave her the idea of setting up a company that would bridge this gap by accelerating (加速) talent development for high-demand tech careers.
The model combined intensive training with professional work experience, producing highly skilled graduates ready for the tech field in less than 8 months. In 2018, Mission Ready was launched. Diana says that while tech may seem complex, it really comes down to problem solving and remaining agile (敏捷) and continuing to be a lifelong learner. Whether you’re technical or not, there’s a place for you in the industry. Curiosity and courage can open doors never imagined before.
4. How did Diana feel about her hospitality career?
A. Unusually demanding. B. Unfit for her desire.
C. Filled with challenges. D. Packed with chances.
5. What did the professor mean by saying “Bring it on”?
A. He was annoyed at Diana’s suggestion. B. He was supportive of the bold idea.
C. He thought Diana’s idea was unrealistic. D. He would take over Diana’s project.
6. What motivated Diana to set up a company?
A. Her ambition to become a CEO. B. Her interest in tech innovation.
C. The demand-supply gap of tech talent. D. The encouragement from her partners.
7. Which statement is Diana most likely to agree with?
A. International students have more career options.
B. Technology is the only worthwhile field to study.
C. Your first career choice should be your final one.
D. An open mind leads to extraordinary new possibilities.

Though it may not seem like it, dirt is alive. Even if they can’t be seen easily, soil is full of microbes (微生物) and bacteria, all breaking down organic matter into nutrients. Where there is life, there is energy — and now that energy is being transformed into electricity, and into light, reported Fast Company. This type of environmentally friendly energy could be key to finding new, sustainable ways to power the world.
The idea of using electricity in soil is not new. In the 19th century, Alexander Bain invented the “Earth battery”, which worked by placing two electrodes (电极) in the ground. This soon led to the soil lamp.
Now, a new generation of soil-power has arisen with the arrival of the microbial fuel cell (MFC). The MFC uses the metabolic (代谢的) activity of microbes in the soil as a source of energy. As bacteria feed on organic matter in soil, they release electrons (电子). Electrodes placed in the soil then catch these electrons creating a stream of electricity which can be used to power small electrical devices.
Though it cannot currently be used in applications that require a large amount of power, soil power still has practical uses. It could be used in rural areas to do things such as charge phones, or power environmental sensors. It could also be used in emergency situations when public service facilities have been damaged, powering lighting and communication devices. Soil based electricity could also be used in agriculture, powering sensors that could track soil health, crop conditions, or water levels.
Milú Brunell, a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, recently introduced a beautiful outdoor lamp called the Soli Lamp that is wholly powered by an MFC. Brunell hopes that one day this technology will power park lighting or streetlights. Brunel’s beautiful lamp and the very existence of MFC and soil lamps prove that sources of clean, renewable and sustainable energy can sometimes be right under your feet.
8. What does Fast Company’s report indicate?
A. Soil lacks organic nutrients. B. Soil contains energy for power.
C. Soil gives out light in the dark. D. Soil is a non-renewable resource.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. MFC’s application. B. MFC’s functional advantage.
C. MFC’s effectiveness. D. MFC’s working principle.
10. What can we learn about MFC from paragraph 4?
A. It is widely used in cities. B. It offers huge amounts of power.
C. It has certain practical value. D. It is a fully developed technology.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To present the soil-powered energy.
B. To explain how microbes produce electrons.
C. To compare different renewable energy sources.
D. To introduce a new invention-the Soli Lamp.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A

细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Where there is life, there is energy — and now that energy is being transformed into electricity, and into light, reported Fast Company.(Fast Company报道称,有生命的地方就有能量——而现在这种能量正被转化为电力和光)”可知,Fast Company的报道表明土壤中含有可用于发电的能量。故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The MFC uses the metabolic activity of microbes in the soil as a source of energy. As bacteria feed on organic matter in soil, they release electrons. Electrodes placed in the soil then catch these electrons creating a stream of electricity which can be used to power small electrical devices.(微生物燃料电池利用土壤中微生物的代谢活动作为能量来源。当细菌以土壤中的有机物为食时,它们会释放电子。然后放置在土壤中的电极捕捉这些电子,产生一股电流,可用于为小型电子设备供电)”可知,该段主要介绍了微生物燃料电池(MFC)的工作原理,即它如何利用土壤中的微生物产生电能。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Though it cannot currently be used in applications that require a large amount of power, soil power still has practical uses.(尽管目前它还不能用于需要大量电力的应用,但土壤能源仍有实际用途)”及后文列举的在农村地区、紧急情况、农业领域的用途可知,微生物燃料电池(MFC)具有一定的实用价值。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合第一段“Though it may not seem like it, dirt is alive. Even if they can’t be seen easily, soil is full of microbes and bacteria, all breaking down organic matter into nutrients.

Over the last few years, walking 10,000 steps a day has become a popular goal among those aiming for a fit lifestyle. But while this target looks cool on fitness trackers and it’s certainly something to talk proudly about when achieved, there’s reportedly no scientific basis to it. Instead, researchers have looked up the number of steps you really need to keep yourself healthy. And surprisingly, it’s less than previously thought.
A team of scientists from Yale University School of Medicine recently published a study where they seemed to have found this sweet spot for walking. They found that health risks were significantly reduced with step counts at 8,250 steps a day, while 9,700 steps are the ideal amount for those with cardiovascular (心血管) conditions.
While this offers a fixed goal, the researchers add that doing moderate physical activity is helpful, regardless of the amount. “Increasing daily step count is associated with reduced cardiovascular death rate in hypertensive (高血压的) individuals, with optimal (最佳的) benefits observed below 8,250 and 9,700 daily steps, respectively,” they write. “Moderate levels of physical activity provide substantial health benefits, highlighting the importance of setting realistic and reachable activity goals for hypertensive populations.”
This is in line with the findings from a study in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2022. Back then, researchers discovered that the more you walk, the lower your risk of cancer and other conditions. But while those who walk 10,000 steps have a lower risk of cancer than those who take 8,000 and a lower risk than those who take 6,000, the benefits plateau after the 10,000 mark — so there’s really no reason to push it, especially if you struggle to make it that far.
What’s more, walking is not only great for your body, but also for your mental health. And while you’re at it, if you have the chance to do it in nature rather than a gym or an urban setting, the benefits are even higher. So put on your walking shoes, and get going!
12. What is the author’s attitude towards walking 10,000 steps a day to keep fit?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Unclear.
13. What do we know about hypertensive individuals?
A. Their death rate is higher than others. B. They need extremely high step counts.
C. Moderate walking works well for them. D. They should avoid any physical activity.
14. What does the underlined word “plateau” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Stay at a steady level. B. Continue to increase.
C. Fade dramatically. D. Achieve the maximum effect.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ways to Realize Daily Step Goal B. Walking: Great for Your Mental Health
C. How to Balance Walking and Resting D. Is Walking 10,000 Steps a Day a Myth?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了每日走10000步这一健身目标,指出其无科学依据,介绍了研究发现的健康步数范围,以及步行对身心健康的益处。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But while this target looks cool on fitness trackers and it’s certainly something to talk proudly about when achieved, there’s reportedly no scientific basis to it.(尽管这个目标在健身追踪器上看起来很酷,达成后也确实值得骄傲地谈论,但据报道,它并没有科学依据)”可推知,作者认为每日走10000步的健身目标缺乏科学依据,对其持怀疑态度。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Increasing daily step count is associated with reduced cardiovascular death rate in hypertensive (高血压的) individuals, with optimal (最佳的) benefits observed below 8,250 and 9,700 daily steps, respectively,” they write. “Moderate levels of physical activity provide substantial health benefits, highlighting the importance of setting realistic and reachable activity goals for hypertensive populations.”(“增加每日步数与降低高血压患者的心血管死亡率相关,每日步数分别低于8250步和9700步时可观察到最佳益处,”他们写道。“适度的体育活动能带来显著的健康益处,这凸显了为高血压人群设定切实可行的活动目标的重要性。”)”可知,适度步行对高血压患者非常有益。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“But while those who walk 10,000 steps have a lower risk of cancer than those who take 8,000 and a lower risk than those who take 6,000, the benefits plateau after the 10,000 mark — so there’s really no reason to push it, especially if you struggle to make it that far.(不过,虽然每天走10000步的人患癌症的风险比走8000步的人低,也比走6000步的人低,但超过10000步后,益处就会plateau——所以实在没有必要强求,尤其是如果你很难达到这个步数的话)”可知,超过10000步后再增加步数,健康益处不会继续提升。由此可知,划线词plateau意为“趋于平稳,保持在稳定水平”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“Over the last few years, walking 10,000 steps a day has become a popular goal among those aiming for a fit lifestyle. But while this target looks cool on fitness trackers and it’s certainly something to talk proudly about when achieved, there’s reportedly no scientific basis to it. Instead, researchers have looked up the number of steps you really need to keep yourself healthy. And surprisingly, it’s less than previously thought.(在过去几年里,每日走一万步已经成为追求健康生活方式人群的热门目标。尽管这个目标在健身追踪设备上看起来十分亮眼,达成后也着实值得骄傲地谈起,但据称这一目标并无科学依据。相反,研究人员已经研究出了维持身体健康实际所需的步数,而令人意外的是,这个数字比人们之前认为的要少)”可知,文章开篇就质疑每日走10000步的科学性,随后通过研究结果说明健康的步数范围,围绕“每日走10000步是否靠谱”展开论述。由此可知,“Is Walking 10,000 Steps a Day a Myth?(每天走一万步是个神话吗?)”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国新疆维吾尔自治区的文化瑰宝——维吾尔木卡姆艺术,包括其艺术形式、特点及保护措施等内容。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国西北的新疆维吾尔自治区,幅员辽阔、资源丰富,数百年来一直是多个民族共同居住的家园。句中已有谓语动词has been,且空格处无连词,故此处应用非谓语动词;ethnic groups与live之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填living。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:其灿烂的文化遗产如一部宏伟的史诗,诉说着永恒的智慧与情感。空格前为形容词timeless,形容词修饰名词,故此处应用wise的名词形式wisdom;wisdom为不可数名词。故填wisdom。
【38题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:这些珍宝不仅是传统的载体,也是了解该地区独特魅力的窗口。not only...but ...为固定搭配,意为“不仅……而且……”,符合语境。故填but。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:新疆维吾尔木卡姆艺术是一种融合了歌唱、舞蹈和音乐的综合性艺术形式。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导定语从句,先行词为art form(指物),且从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词which/that。故填which/that。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它是对新疆维吾尔族聚居区表演的各种木卡姆的统称。句中已有谓语动词is,且空格处无连词,故此处应用非谓语动词;Muqams与perform之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填performed。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:其中,《十二木卡姆》在南疆以及北疆的伊犁地区传唱最广。空格处修饰动词acted,副词修饰动词,故此处应用wide的副词形式widely。故填widely。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:木卡姆是维吾尔族极具吸引力的古典音乐,指一套宏大的音乐作品。空格处修饰名词classical music,应用形容词;fascinate的形容词fascinating(令人着迷的,修饰物)符合题意。故填fascinating。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:它是维吾尔族宏大的艺术创作和宝贵遗产,被誉为“东方音乐明珠”。be praised as为固定搭配,意为“被誉为……”,符合语境。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:2008年,木卡姆被列入联合国教科文组织《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》。根据时间状语In 2008可知,此处应用一般过去时;Muqam与add之间为被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语Muqam为单数,故填was added。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:保护它的措施包括2007年木卡姆遗产中心的建立,确保其旋律、舞蹈和故事得以良好传承发展。efforts to do sth.为固定用法,意为“做某事的努力”,所以用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to protect。

It’s Not Just The Porridge (粥) That’s Warm
In October 2015, my niece, then aged two and half, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. She started on chemotherapy (化疗) straight away at a truly wonderful children’s hospital in the north of England.
The doctor told us that the best things we could do to ensure her treatment was successful were to make sure she took her medicine and to keep her weight up as much as possible. As well as regular chemotherapy, she had to be taken to the hospital whenever her temperature went up, often for a few days at a time.
The hospital’s rule was that children must have an accompanying adult at all times to take care of their non-medical needs. As the family member who lived closest, I sometimes stayed in the hospital with my niece to give my brother and sister-in-law a bit of a break.
This story happened in February 2016, almost at the end of the first and most intensive period of chemotherapy. Her temperature had risen quickly a few nights previously, so she had been rushed to the hospital. She had some kind of infection that was making her very tired and bad-tempered, and she had hardly eaten for days, even the ward chef’s amazing muffins — they contained four kinds of fruits and vegetables and were absolutely delicious — didn’t tempt her.
6 AM in the dawn of a rainy English winter morning, my niece (who, by her own admission, was as “not a morning person”) suddenly woke up and demanded porridge. This was very welcome, as she hadn’t asked for food for days, but also a problem in that, as she rarely ate porridge, I didn’t have any! She was very fickle (善变的) about eating at that point, and I feared that if I didn’t get the porridge quickly, she would no longer want it.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I started thinking about where to get the porridge at such an early time.

Just as I was in despair, a cleaner appeared and presented me with a bag of porridge.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I started thinking about where to get the porridge at such an early time. I had to act fast. I went to the nurses’ station to ask if they had any porridge on the ward: no. I started working through other options that might work within what I suspected was quite a tight time limit. I doubted my niece would still want porridge by the time the ward chef came on shift at 8 AM. Similarly, walking half mile to the nearest supermarket would probably have taken too long.
Just as I was in despair, a cleaner appeared and presented me with a bag of porridge. The nurses had told everyone who came through the ward about my niece’s sudden porridge urge, and it so happened that this cleaner brought porridge for breakfast. I thanked her and offered her a piece of bread in return, which she accepted, saying it would make a nice change. My niece ate half a bowl of porridge before falling asleep again. The tiny act of kindness was like a ray of sunshine on that rainy winter morning, reminding me that love and warmth can always light up the dark time.

Reading Night in Community
This will be my third year hosting a reading night with one of our community partners, the Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWA). ReWA has a few sites located throughout our city and they run one of their preschools a short walk away from our library. They invited me to come to talk to their families about the library’s services as well as provide any tips on raising lifelong readers, hoping to get families excited about reading. Here is what I have planned for this year's reading night.
The Presentation
Aside from going over the different services our library provides, I also take the time to talk about the Five Activities to Raise a Reader. These activities are:
Sing to or with your children in any language to help them learn word sounds.
Read (and reread) to your children to help them learn to love stories.
Write with your children to help them create and see words and symbols on a page.
Talk with your children to help them learn to communicate and be ready to read.
Play with your children to help them use words to express themselves.
The Books
What’s a reading night without books?! I am grateful that we’ve been able to provide families who attend the reading night with books in their native languages! Seeing the families pick out which books they want to take home is my favorite part of the night. It also helps me learn what types of books families want to see more of in our library.
Overall
While the reading night we jointly host generally focuses more on library services and the 5 activities to raise a reader, this time we particularly hope it can encourage the children and their families who otherwise might not come into the library to further develop their reading skills.
1. Why does ReWA invite the author?
A To enrich library services. B. To share tips on raising children.
C. To promote family reading interest. D. To collect book preference data.
2. What do the five activities have in common?
A. They require professional guidance.
B. They rely on advanced reading materials.
C. They help children know more library rules.
D. They involve much parent-child interaction.
3. Which group does the reading night particularly want to influence this time?
A. Those who seldom go to library. B. Those who are lifelong readers.
C. Those with superb reading skills. D. Those who regularly visit library.
B
Diana Sharma came to New Zealand as an international student to study business. Her journey soon took an unexpected turn toward technology, setting the stage for an inspiring career shift. Today, Diana is the founder and CEO of Mission Ready — New Zealand’s first successful tech-training provider.
Diana was born in Kuwait and went to high school in India. When she left high school, she thought a career in hospitality (酒店业) would be “cool” but after a three-year degree, a short period of time as a management trainee, she realised hospitality was not her thing. Seeking a career that matched with her passions, she explored different paths and discovered her love for corporate talent development.
After researching university programmes worldwide, she finally chose New Zealand. In 2009, Diana took up a Postgraduate Diploma in Business at Unitec in Auckland. The one-year programme was like nothing she’d ever experienced before. Her professor took an innovative approach, teaching his students how to work with companies to help them solve real business problems. Diana grew quickly in this environment and gained so much confidence that she suggested to her professor they try something different. His response? “Bring it on!”
At Unitec, Diana’s various roles focused on exploring innovative approaches to education and promoting partnerships with industry and international education providers. Those partnerships exposed her to a gap in the tech market where companies were crying out for talent, yet graduates were not getting hired. This gave her the idea of setting up a company that would bridge this gap by accelerating (加速) talent development for high-demand tech careers.
The model combined intensive training with professional work experience, producing highly skilled graduates ready for the tech field in less than 8 months. In 2018, Mission Ready was launched. Diana says that while tech may seem complex, it really comes down to problem solving and remaining agile (敏捷) and continuing to be a lifelong learner. Whether you’re technical or not, there’s a place for you in the industry. Curiosity and courage can open doors never imagined before.
4. How did Diana feel about her hospitality career?
A. Unusually demanding. B. Unfit for her desire.
C Filled with challenges. D. Packed with chances.
5. What did the professor mean by saying “Bring it on”?
A. He was annoyed at Diana’s suggestion. B. He was supportive of the bold idea.
C. He thought Diana’s idea was unrealistic. D. He would take over Diana’s project.
6. What motivated Diana to set up a company?
A. Her ambition to become a CEO. B. Her interest in tech innovation.
C. The demand-supply gap of tech talent. D. The encouragement from her partners.
7. Which statement is Diana most likely to agree with?
A. International students have more career options.
B. Technology is the only worthwhile field to study.
C. Your first career choice should be your final one.
D. An open mind leads to extraordinary new possibilities.
C
Though it may not seem like it, dirt is alive. Even if they can’t be seen easily, soil is full of microbes (微生物) and bacteria, all breaking down organic matter into nutrients. Where there is life, there is energy — and now that energy is being transformed into electricity, and into light, reported Fast Company. This type of environmentally friendly energy could be key to finding new, sustainable ways to power the world.
The idea of using electricity in soil is not new. In the 19th century, Alexander Bain invented the “Earth battery”, which worked by placing two electrodes (电极) in the ground. This soon led to the soil lamp.
Now, a new generation of soil-power has arisen with the arrival of the microbial fuel cell (MFC). The MFC uses the metabolic (代谢的) activity of microbes in the soil as a source of energy. As bacteria feed on organic matter in soil, they release electrons (电子). Electrodes placed in the soil then catch these electrons creating a stream of electricity which can be used to power small electrical devices.
Though it cannot currently be used in applications that require a large amount of power, soil power still has practical uses. It could be used in rural areas to do things such as charge phones, or power environmental sensors. It could also be used in emergency situations when public service facilities have been damaged, powering lighting and communication devices. Soil based electricity could also be used in agriculture, powering sensors that could track soil health, crop conditions, or water levels.
Milú Brunell, a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, recently introduced a beautiful outdoor lamp called the Soli Lamp that is wholly powered by an MFC. Brunell hopes that one day this technology will power park lighting or streetlights. Brunel’s beautiful lamp and the very existence of MFC and soil lamps prove that sources of clean, renewable and sustainable energy can sometimes be right under your feet.

Over the last few years, walking 10,000 steps a day has become a popular goal among those aiming for a fit lifestyle. But while this target looks cool on fitness trackers and it’s certainly something to talk proudly about when achieved, there’s reportedly no scientific basis to it. Instead, researchers have looked up the number of steps you really need to keep yourself healthy. And surprisingly, it’s less than previously thought.
A team of scientists from Yale University School of Medicine recently published a study where they seemed to have found this sweet spot for walking. They found that health risks were significantly reduced with step counts at 8,250 steps a day, while 9,700 steps are the ideal amount for those with cardiovascular (心血管) conditions.
While this offers a fixed goal, the researchers add that doing moderate physical activity is helpful, regardless of the amount. “Increasing daily step count is associated with reduced cardiovascular death rate in hypertensive (高血压的) individuals, with optimal (最佳的) benefits observed below 8,250 and 9,700 daily steps, respectively,” they write. “Moderate levels of physical activity provide substantial health benefits, highlighting the importance of setting realistic and reachable activity goals for hypertensive populations.”
This is in line with the findings from a study in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2022. Back then, researchers discovered that the more you walk, the lower your risk of cancer and other conditions. But while those who walk 10,000 steps have a lower risk of cancer than those who take 8,000 and a lower risk than those who take 6,000, the benefits plateau after the 10,000 mark — so there’s really no reason to push it, especially if you struggle to make it that far.
What’s more, walking is not only great for your body, but also for your mental health. And while you’re at it, if you have the chance to do it in nature rather than a gym or an urban setting, the benefits are even higher. So put on your walking shoes, and get going!
12. What is the author’s attitude towards walking 10,000 steps a day to keep fit?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Unclear.
13. What do we know about hypertensive individuals?
A. Their death rate is higher than others. B. They need extremely high step counts.
C. Moderate walking works well for them. D. They should avoid any physical activity.
14. What does the underlined word “plateau” mean in paragraph 4?
A Stay at a steady level. B. Continue to increase.
C. Fade dramatically. D. Achieve the maximum effect.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ways to Realize Daily Step Goal B. Walking: Great for Your Mental Health
C. How to Balance Walking and Resting D. Is Walking 10,000 Steps a Day a Myth?

It’s Not Just The Porridge (粥) That’s Warm
In October 2015, my niece, then aged two and half, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. She started on chemotherapy (化疗) straight away at a truly wonderful children’s hospital in the north of England.
The doctor told us that the best things we could do to ensure her treatment was successful were to make sure she took her medicine and to keep her weight up as much as possible. As well as regular chemotherapy, she had to be taken to the hospital whenever her temperature went up, often for a few days at a time.
The hospital’s rule was that children must have an accompanying adult at all times to take care of their non-medical needs. As the family member who lived closest, I sometimes stayed in the hospital with my niece to give my brother and sister-in-law a bit of a break.
This story happened in February 2016, almost at the end of the first and most intensive period of chemotherapy. Her temperature had risen quickly a few nights previously, so she had been rushed to the hospital. She had some kind of infection that was making her very tired and bad-tempered, and she had hardly eaten for days, even the ward chef’s amazing muffins — they contained four kinds of fruits and vegetables and were absolutely delicious — didn’t tempt her.
6 AM in the dawn of a rainy English winter morning, my niece (who, by her own admission, was as “not a morning person”) suddenly woke up and demanded porridge. This was very welcome, as she hadn’t asked for food for days, but also a problem in that, as she rarely ate porridge, I didn’t have any! She was very fickle (善变的) about eating at that point, and I feared that if I didn’t get the porridge quickly, she would no longer want it.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I started thinking about where to get the porridge at such an early time.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just as I was in despair, a cleaner appeared and presented me with a bag of porridge.
