A
The travel industry is gradually moving toward digitalization. However, travel-related digital engagement is among the lowest compared to other industries. Key activities like using home-sharing platforms, purchasing airfare online and consulting travel information websites show infrequent usage, highlighting the industry’s struggle to fully adopt a digital-first approach. On average, consumers engage in digital travel activities just 12.3 days per month, far below the industry-wide average of 28.1 days.
Country-Specific Trends
There are significant variations in digital travel engagement across different countries.
American and British consumers displayed a relatively high level of digital engagement in travel, with 15.8 activity days per month. This suggests a growing preference for online platforms for travel planning and booking. The widespread availability of high-speed internet and the popularity of online travel agencies likely contribute to this trend.
In contrast, Japanese consumers exhibited the lowest digital engagement in travel, with only 5.8 activity days. This indicates a continued reliance on offline channels and a slower adoption of digital tools in the travel industry. Cultural factors and a preference for personalized service might explain this unwillingness to adopt online travel solutions.
Brazil saw its citizens engage digitally with travel an average of 13.9 days per month. Its digital success comes from a comprehensive national strategy aimed at employing digital technologies for economic and social progress.
The Road Ahead
The travel industry must work to persuade consumers to switch to online tools, yet it also stands to benefit from a growing market. By developing easy-to-use platforms, offering tailored recommendations and ensuring smooth booking processes, travel companies can speed up their digital transformation and meet the demands of today’s travelers. Still, integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality could further refine the digital travel experience and attract new customers.
1. Which best describes digital travel engagement?
A. Low and uneven. B. Broad and sustained.
C. Troubling and limited. D. Steady and predictable.
2. What can we learn about Japan’s travel industry?
A. It is hardly influenced by culture. B. It desperately needs high-speed internet.
C. It is reliant on traditional methods. D. Its digital engagement matches Brazil’s.
3. Which is one of the author’s suggestions for the travel industry?
A. Attract investment in AI. B. Develop digital technologies.
C. Focus on in-person travel services. D. Offer user-friendly online solutions.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D

The first fortnight was tough - terrible pain and the rapid realization that running 200 marathons in 200 days would not be a walk in the park. But Steve James, a 65-year-old retired banker, has found his feet and reached the halfway mark — an average of 100 marathons in 100 days.
“In those first two weeks I was thinking: ‘What have I done?’” James said. “I had horrible blisters (水泡) for the first 10 days. The gout (痛风) struck all of a sudden, but I took some medicine and it went away. Now I feel fine.”
James’s progress along the coastlines of Great Britain is being tracked by experts from the University of Exeter, who are keen to find out the effects of such an extreme challenge on an older person.
The challenge is to do, on average, a marathon every day. Some days, it might be a bit less; others a bit more. There is no set route. James has a plan but adapts and changes it. As for fuel, he is not following the sort of diet an exceptional athlete might adopt. He has cereal, bacon, cake and fish and chips for dinner, washed down with a couple of beers.
“It’s all about routine, about getting up and leaving at the same time,” said James. “I love the physical challenge. I’m not especially talented at things, but I can keep going.”
The Exeter researchers assessed James before his departure and he sends data daily for them to analyze. They are studying his calorie intake, oxygen levels and muscle measurements. He has lost about 10kg but the team has seen no ill-effects to his health.
James, who is raising money for Cancer Research UK, passes the time by listening to music and is also learning Welsh. By the time he gets to Wales, he hopes to be able to order a beer in the language. He thinks the most difficult stretch physically will be the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall. “I’m kind of hoping that by then my body will be completely conditioned and I’ll be able to cope with that.”
4. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. The difficulties James faced. B. James’s solution to challenges.
C. James’s attitude to the running. D. The treatment James received.
5. What can be learned about James’s running plan?
A. It features a strict diet. B. It is made by researchers.
C. It is confirmed by other athletes. D. It changes based on circumstances.
6. What is James’s expectation for the journey ahead?
A. To run all over Wales. B. To be physically adapted.
C. To grow thinner and healthier. D. To raise money for cancer patients.
7. What message does the passage convey?
A. Exercise shapes one’s character. B. Health begins where the feet move.
C. Limits can be redefined at any age. D. Optimism unlocks human potential.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C

On a typical sunny day at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), small native bushes (灌木) wave where tidy grasslands used to be, bees fly over flowers, and students walk on a campus alive with biodiversity.
The new scenery marks a major milestone in campus sustainability. In 2025, UCLA became the first university in California to earn the Green Grounds Certification from the nonprofit Re: wild Your Campus, which recognizes the school’s efforts to improve human health and biodiversity.
For years, colleges have used rewilding as a way to restore biodiversity and bring a more natural look to their grounds with native plants. But too often, they miss a critical piece of the puzzle: the chemicals being used elsewhere on campus. While wildflowers bring buzzing bees, true ecological restoration is weakened if pesticides (农药) and fertilizers are used.
This is why Re: wild Your Campus created the Green Grounds Certification-to center both chemical elimination and rewilding and to link them together. Schools that are taking such a holistic approach to campus management can be honored and uplifted.
Adopting a holistic approach to land care does more than just create healthier campus environments; it reinforces the reality that colleges are interconnected microcosms (缩影) of larger environmental systems. In many cities, universities offer some of the largest areas of open space, yet the chemicals applied to grasslands can impact nearby rivers, lakes, and drinking water. Students and all the teaching staff are increasingly recognizing this, leading to more advocacy for introducing native species and stopping using harmful pesticides.
Beyond environmental health, a rewilding approach can help safeguard human health. Students are closely connected to the outdoor settings of their colleges where pesticides can stay in the air, settle on picnic tables, and be tracked into dorm rooms. Through a holistic approach, institutions can ensure that the grounds students walk on daily are free from poisonous substances, for the health of all.
And that’s exactly what some schools like UCLA are doing. Their leadership shows that sustainability means finding new ways to care for the land responsibly-for people and for the planet.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By discussing students’ activities. B. By describing a changed landscape.
C. By showing students’ love for nature. D. By highlighting the function of plants.
9. What can we know about the holistic approach?
A. It was initiated by UCLA. B. It avoids using pesticides.
C. It focuses on students’ welfare. D. It is intended to connect schools.
10. Why does the author mention “picnic tables” in paragraph 6?
A. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B. To suggest safety improvements.
C. To discourage outdoor activities. D. To stress health risks to students.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Native Plants: Key to Preventing Pollution.
B. UCLA’s Holistic Plan: For Safer Classrooms.
C. The Holistic Method: Toward Sustainable Campuses.
D. Sustainability Through Trees: For Greener Campuses.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C

Schools that are taking such a holistic approach to campus management can be honored and uplifted.(这就是Re: wild Your Campus创建绿色场地认证的原因——以消除化学物质和野化修复为核心,并将两者结合起来。采用这种整体方法进行校园管理的学校将获得荣誉和支持)”以及第三段中的“While wildflowers bring buzzing bees, true ecological restoration is weakened if pesticides (农药) and fertilizers are used.(虽然野花能吸引嗡嗡作响的蜜蜂,但如果使用农药和化肥,真正的生态修复就会受到影响)”可知,整体方法避免使用农药等化学物质。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Beyond environmental health, a rewilding approach can help safeguard human health. Students are closely connected to the outdoor settings of their colleges where pesticides can stay in the air, settle on picnic tables, and be tracked into dorm rooms.(除了环境健康,野化修复方法还有助于保护人类健康。学生与大学的户外环境密切相关,农药会留在空气中,落在野餐桌上,并被带入宿舍)”可知,作者提到“野餐桌”是为了强调农药对学生的健康风险。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章围绕“整体方法”展开,介绍其核心是结合消除化学物质和野化修复,能实现校园环境和人类健康的双重保障,助力校园可持续发展,UCLA的案例也印证了这一点。C项“整体方法:迈向可持续校园”贴合主旨,可以作本文的最佳标题。故选C项。

For decades “Monday blues” has been a term for the collective groan (叹息) that greets the start of each workweek. Mondays come with higher rates of anxiety, stress and even suicide compared with other days.
The stress and anxiety experienced on Monday seems to ease as the week unfolds. But is the stress and anxiety biologically distinct? Furthermore, could the fleeting changes in mood leave a mark on people’s body even after they stop working? To answer these questions, Professor Tarani Chandola from HKU, looked into the phenomenon, focusing on the stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇).
When we experience a stressor, the brain activates the release of cortisol, which helps us to manage short-term stress. But constant high levels of cortisol disturb the brain and bodily systems, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
Chandola studied 3,511 participants aged 50 and older in England, and the results were striking. Older adults who reported feeling anxious on Mondays had, on average, 23 percent higher levels of cortisol up to two months later, compared with those who felt anxious on other days. And the effect was not limited to those still working; retirees who felt anxious on Mondays also showed higher cortisol.
Why might Mondays, in particular, have a powerful effect on the body? One possibility is that the shift from the weekend to the high demands of the week is essentially stressful. Also, some people become anxious on Mondays so routinely that it becomes an automatic bodily response.
For some people, Monday blues are constant stressors. Hospitals may need to plan for the increased risk of heart attacks and other health events on Mondays, especially among older adults. In addition, international practices like meditation, mindfulness, regular physical activity or good sleep might help people adapt to the start of the week and have long-term health benefits. Finally, researchers will need to investigate why some people are resilient (适应力强) to Monday anxiety while others are not. That question might open the door to interventions that help people start the week not just with a groan but with greater resilience.
12. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Extreme. B. Uncommon. C. Short-lived. D. Far-reaching.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. To define a medical term.
B. To show ways to handle stress.
C. To explain how cortisol helps reduce stress.
D. To reveal how stress harms health biologically.
14. What did Chandola’s study find about Monday anxiety?
A. Its levels are closely related to age. B. It is a lifelong burden for some people.
C. It is the primary challenge people face. D. Its effects are limited among the elderly.
15. Which is one of the author’s suggestions to address Monday blues?
A. Researchers doing further studies. B. Hospitals keeping track of the old.
C. Individuals seeking help from others. D. Companies reducing Monday workloads.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“周一忧郁症”对健康的影响及相关研究及应对建议。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The stress and anxiety experienced on Monday seems to ease as the week unfolds. But is the stress and anxiety biologically distinct? Furthermore, could the fleeting changes in mood leave a mark on people’s body even after they stop working?(人们在周一感受到的压力与焦虑,似乎会随着一周的推进逐渐缓解。但这种压力和焦虑在生理层面是否存在特殊性?此外,即便工作日结束,这种fleeting情绪波动是否仍会在人们的身体上留下印记?)”可知,周一的情绪变化是会慢慢消失的,并非长久的,故fleeting意为“短暂的”。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When we experience a stressor, the brain activates the release of cortisol, which helps us to manage short-term stress. But constant high levels of cortisol disturb the brain and bodily systems, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.(当我们经历压力时,大脑会激活皮质醇的释放,帮助我们应对短期压力。但是持续高水平的皮质醇会扰乱大脑和身体系统,增加焦虑、抑郁、心脏病、糖尿病和肥胖的风险。)”可知,作者在本段揭示了压力是如何在生物学上损害健康的。故选D。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Chandola studied 3,511 participants aged 50 and older in England, and the results were striking. Older adults who reported feeling anxious on Mondays had, on average, 23 percent higher levels of cortisol up to two months later, compared with those who felt anxious on other days. And the effect was not limited to those still working; retirees who felt anxious on Mondays also showed higher cortisol.(Chandola研究了英格兰3511名50岁及以上的参与者,结果令人震惊。与在其他日子感到焦虑的老年人相比,那些在周一感到焦虑的老年人平均在两个月后皮质醇水平高出23%。而且这种影响并不局限于仍在工作的人;周一感到焦虑的退休人员皮质醇水平也较高。)”可知,Chandola的研究发现周一焦虑是一些人一生的负担。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Finally, researchers will need to investigate why some people are resilient (适应力强) to Monday anxiety while others are not. That question might open the door to interventions that help people start the week not just with a groan but with greater resilience.(最后,研究人员需要调查为什么有些人对周一焦虑有适应力,而有些人则没有。这个问题可能会为干预措施打开大门,帮助人们不仅以叹息开始新的一周,而且以更强的适应力开始新的一周。)”可知,作者建议研究人员进行进一步的研究。故选A。

For days, Lauren’s daughter would burst into tears before school, pressing her face against her mom’s leg and begging not to go — an all-too-familiar scene for parents of young students. But one morning, Lauren decided to rewrite the story. In a moment of exhausted inspiration, she told her girl a little white lie, "Your teacher texted me, and you’re the new gate leader." _____16_____ The video Lauren shared to TikTok that day shows the little girl proudly waving classmates through the school gate, smiling beside her teacher.

Lauren says the idea came from pure desperation. _____17_____ But after Lauren told her daughter about this new role, she just stopped crying. “We went to school early,” Lauren recalls. “She stood there with her teacher, and they just let her join in.” Once the teacher learned about the idea, he was fully supportive. He said,“Whatever helps her come to school.”
Since that morning, her daughter hasn’t looked back. She takes her gate duties seriously. Now she’s the one rushing her mom out the door each day. _____18_____ She tells them their parents are coming back and that it’s okay.
The change didn’t just ease her daughter’s anxiety. _____19_____ Now she began to see school not as something to fear, but as a place where she belonged.
What made the story attractive isn’t just the viral moment — it’s the quiet beauty of a mother recognizing exactly what her child needed: a sense of purpose and pride. “She really believes she’s helping those kids who are sad,” Lauren says. And honestly, she is.
_____20_____ “Every day she’s at that gate, waiting, ready to help,” Lauren says. “And every morning she’s the one telling me, ‘Come on, Mommy, we can’t be late — I have to be there for the other kids.’”
A. She wants to feel appreciated.
B. She even helps other kids who cry.
C. It also opened up something new inside her.
D. Her daughter’s mood changed almost instantly.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了重庆独特的城市风貌吸引了外国游客,在全球的吸引力不断提升,成为中国最新的必游目的地。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而,这位加拿大旅游内容创作者发现自己完全被这座“8D城市”多层次现实所震撼——这里的轻轨穿楼而过,而看似一楼的地方实际上可能是12楼。分析句子结构可知,空前有形容词Canadian travel content修饰,空后有谓语动词found,所以此处应填名词作主语;结合句意,此处表示“创作者”,create的名词形式为creator,且根据himself可知,此处用单数形式。故填creator。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:然而,这位加拿大旅游内容创作者发现自己完全被这座“8D城市”的多层次现实所震撼——这里的轻轨穿楼而过,而看似一楼的地方实际上可能是12楼。分析句子结构可知,空格前后为两个完整的分句,前半句讲轻轨穿楼,后半句讲楼层的特殊性,表并列承接,用and连接。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:重庆日益增长的全球吸引力在Guvi的经历中得到了体现。此处为谓语动词,主语Chongqing’s growing global appeal与谓语动词reflect之间是被动关系,此处可看作陈述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态;也可看作陈述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,谓语动词用单数形式。故填is reflected/was reflected。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他展示了这座城市的赛博朋克氛围,这种氛围已经成为一种社交媒体上的现象。phenomenon为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词;结合句意,此处表示“一种现象”,为泛指,且social是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:他发布的一条关于其超现实建筑的帖子在社交媒体上获得了超过1700万个赞。like作“赞、喜爱”讲时,为可数名词;根据空前的over 17 million可知,此处用复数形式likes。故填likes。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种线上吸引力已转化为重庆旅游业的显著增长:去年入境旅游人数激增184%,尽管直飞航班有限,但美国游客的增长最为显著。分析句子结构可知,此处为with的复合结构,宾语American visitors与宾语补足语show之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词形式showing。故填showing。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:去年创办了一家旅行社的陈明表示,每月收到数百份预订,其中美国人占20%。分析句子结构可知,此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为bookings,关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这座城市独特的空间设计总能让游客惊叹不已,就像它让Guvi惊叹的那样,Guvi总结道:“我真希望我们能在那里待得更久一些。”fail to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“未能做某事”,此处为否定形式never fails to do sth.,意为“总能做某事”。故填to astonish。
【45题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意:这座城市独特的空间设计总能让游客惊叹不已,就像它让Guvi惊叹的那样,Guvi总结道:“我真希望我们能在那里待得更久一些。”even通常用来修饰形容词或副词的比较级,表示“更……”;long的比较级为longer,结合句意,此处表示“待得更久”。故填longer。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sumi’s daughter Anna had always been called “Number 23.” Every time the school released exam results, Anna would always end up in 23rd position among 50 pupils. Always 23, regardless of topic or term. Every time Sumi heard that nickname, it caused her concern.
When Sumi stayed with her friends, their discussion nearly always turned to their children. You know how it goes-one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about math olympiads or leadership responsibilities. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all Sumi could think about was Anna and her unpleasant nickname, Number 23.
Sumi had done everything to help Anna with school-hired professional tutors, bought fancy stationery, even packed brain food. And Anna tried. She gave up sketching, paper cutouts, and many others. She moved from one class to another, endlessly trying. But then the indicators started showing-she lost her appetite, couldn’t sleep, and sweated all the time. Eventually, she got terribly sick. That was when Sumi gave in. She stopped pressing and Anna bounced back to being the cheery little child they knew.
One day, Sumi and her friends went on a weekend trip with their families. During lunch, two kids got into a heated quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. Then Anna stepped in. “Let’s flip (抛) a coin,” she said. Simple as that. Boom-problem solved. Everyone was astonished.
Later, on the journey back, they got delayed in traffic. The kids were getting restless. Anna? She started delivering jokes like a big sister. Even the adults laughed. Then she took the leftover candy boxes and started changing them into animals-paper elephants, lions, and birds. Before everyone said goodbye, she presented one to each youngster as a gift. The other parents were shining with appreciation. For the first time in years, Sumi felt something well up in her chest-pride.
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。
Not long after, Sumi got a phone call from Anna’s class teacher.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That afternoon, Anna returned home, the Class Star certificate in hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Not long after, Sumi got a phone call from Anna’s class teacher: The teacher’s voice was filled with warmth as she said, “I’m just calling because I have some wonderful news about Anna.” She then explained that Anna had been selected for the Class Star award for her exceptional social skills and creative talents. Almost every kid voted for her. Sumi felt her eyes moisten as she listened, remembering all the times she had focused solely on academic rankings. “Anna was a genuinely remarkable child and I’m really proud of her,” the teacher added.
Paragraph 2:
That afternoon, Anna returned home, the Class Star certificate in hand. She smiled brightly and told her mother, “I think my friends voted for me because they like my paper animals and jokes.” Sumi hugged her tightly and said, “You’re a beautiful angel, Anna. I didn’t realize my little girl was a real-life hero.” Looking at Anna’s happy face, Sumi now realized that every child has their own unique strengths that cannot be measured by grades alone. Being Number 23 didn’t define her daughter’s worth-it was simply one small part of the wonderful person she was becoming.
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕Sumi和她的女儿Anna展开。Anna在学校考试成绩总是第23名,被称为“23 号”,这让Sumi担忧。Sumi为提高Anna成绩采取诸多措施,却导致Anna 生病。一次周末旅行中,Anna凭借出色社交和创造能力解决孩子们的问题,让Sumi感到骄傲。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“没过多久,Sumi接到了Anna班主任的电话。”可知,第一段此段应描写老师打电话告知Sumi,Anna因出色社交技能和创造天赋被选为班级之星,几乎每个孩子都为她投票,老师也表达对Anna的认可,Sumi听后有所触动。
②由第二段首句内容“那天下午,Anna回到家,手里拿着“班级之星”证书。”可知,第二段此段应描写Anna回家后与Sumi分享感受,Sumi夸赞并拥抱Anna,她意识到不能仅用成绩衡量孩子,“23 号”并非女儿价值的定义,而是她美好成长的一小部分。
2.续写线索:老师来电告知喜讯——孩子回家分享喜悦——母亲感悟孩子价值
3.词汇激活
行为类
①选择:select/choose
②拥抱:hug/embrace
③意识到:realize/recognize/become aware of
情绪类:

第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The travel industry is gradually moving toward digitalization. However, travel-related digital engagement is among the lowest compared to other industries. Key activities like using home-sharing platforms, purchasing airfare online and consulting travel information websites show infrequent usage, highlighting the industry’s struggle to fully adopt a digital-first approach. On average, consumers engage in digital travel activities just 12.3 days per month, far below the industry-wide average of 28.1 days.
Country-Specific Trends
There are significant variations in digital travel engagement across different countries.
American and British consumers displayed a relatively high level of digital engagement in travel, with 15.8 activity days per month. This suggests a growing preference for online platforms for travel planning and booking. The widespread availability of high-speed internet and the popularity of online travel agencies likely contribute to this trend.
In contrast, Japanese consumers exhibited the lowest digital engagement in travel, with only 5.8 activity days. This indicates a continued reliance on offline channels and a slower adoption of digital tools in the travel industry. Cultural factors and a preference for personalized service might explain this unwillingness to adopt online travel solutions.
Brazil saw its citizens engage digitally with travel an average of 13.9 days per month. Its digital success comes from a comprehensive national strategy aimed at employing digital technologies for economic and social progress.
The Road Ahead
The travel industry must work to persuade consumers to switch to online tools, yet it also stands to benefit from a growing market. By developing easy-to-use platforms, offering tailored recommendations and ensuring smooth booking processes, travel companies can speed up their digital transformation and meet the demands of today’s travelers. Still, integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality could further refine the digital travel experience and attract new customers.
1. Which best describes digital travel engagement?
A. Low and uneven. B. Broad and sustained.
C Troubling and limited. D. Steady and predictable.
2. What can we learn about Japan’s travel industry?
A. It is hardly influenced by culture. B. It desperately needs high-speed internet.
C. It is reliant on traditional methods. D. Its digital engagement matches Brazil’s.
3. Which is one of the author’s suggestions for the travel industry?
A. Attract investment in AI. B. Develop digital technologies.
C. Focus on in-person travel services. D. Offer user-friendly online solutions.
B
The first fortnight was tough - terrible pain and the rapid realization that running 200 marathons in 200 days would not be a walk in the park. But Steve James, a 65-year-old retired banker, has found his feet and reached the halfway mark — an average of 100 marathons in 100 days.
“In those first two weeks I was thinking: ‘What have I done?’” James said. “I had horrible blisters (水泡) for the first 10 days. The gout (痛风) struck all of a sudden, but I took some medicine and it went away. Now I feel fine.”
James’s progress along the coastlines of Great Britain is being tracked by experts from the University of Exeter, who are keen to find out the effects of such an extreme challenge on an older person.
The challenge is to do, on average, a marathon every day. Some days, it might be a bit less; others a bit more. There is no set route. James has a plan but adapts and changes it. As for fuel, he is not following the sort of diet an exceptional athlete might adopt. He has cereal, bacon, cake and fish and chips for dinner, washed down with a couple of beers.
“It’s all about routine, about getting up and leaving at the same time,” said James. “I love the physical challenge. I’m not especially talented at things, but I can keep going.”
The Exeter researchers assessed James before his departure and he sends data daily for them to analyze. They are studying his calorie intake, oxygen levels and muscle measurements. He has lost about 10kg but the team has seen no ill-effects to his health.
James, who is raising money for Cancer Research UK, passes the time by listening to music and is also learning Welsh. By the time he gets to Wales, he hopes to be able to order a beer in the language. He thinks the most difficult stretch physically will be the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall. “I’m kind of hoping that by then my body will be completely conditioned and I’ll be able to cope with that.”
4. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. The difficulties James faced. B. James’s solution to challenges.
C. James’s attitude to the running. D. The treatment James received.
5. What can be learned about James’s running plan?
A. It features a strict diet. B. It is made by researchers.
C. It is confirmed by other athletes. D. It changes based on circumstances.
6. What is James’s expectation for the journey ahead?
A. To run all over Wales. B. To be physically adapted.
C. To grow thinner and healthier. D. To raise money for cancer patients.
7. What message does the passage convey?
A. Exercise shapes one’s character. B. Health begins where the feet move.
C. Limits can be redefined at any age. D. Optimism unlocks human potential.
C
On a typical sunny day at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), small native bushes (灌木) wave where tidy grasslands used to be, bees fly over flowers, and students walk on a campus alive with biodiversity.
The new scenery marks a major milestone in campus sustainability. In 2025, UCLA became the first university in California to earn the Green Grounds Certification from the nonprofit Re: wild Your Campus, which recognizes the school’s efforts to improve human health and biodiversity.
For years, colleges have used rewilding as a way to restore biodiversity and bring a more natural look to their grounds with native plants. But too often, they miss a critical piece of the puzzle: the chemicals being used elsewhere on campus. While wildflowers bring buzzing bees, true ecological restoration is weakened if pesticides (农药) and fertilizers are used.
This is why Re: wild Your Campus created the Green Grounds Certification-to center both chemical elimination and rewilding and to link them together. Schools that are taking such a holistic approach to campus management can be honored and uplifted.
Adopting a holistic approach to land care does more than just create healthier campus environments; it reinforces the reality that colleges are interconnected microcosms (缩影) of larger environmental systems. In many cities, universities offer some of the largest areas of open space, yet the chemicals applied to grasslands can impact nearby rivers, lakes, and drinking water. Students and all the teaching staff are increasingly recognizing this, leading to more advocacy for introducing native species and stopping using harmful pesticides.
Beyond environmental health, a rewilding approach can help safeguard human health. Students are closely connected to the outdoor settings of their colleges where pesticides can stay in the air, settle on picnic tables, and be tracked into dorm rooms. Through a holistic approach, institutions can ensure that the grounds students walk on daily are free from poisonous substances, for the health of all.
And that’s exactly what some schools like UCLA are doing. Their leadership shows that sustainability means finding new ways to care for the land responsibly-for people and for the planet.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By discussing students’ activities. B. By describing a changed landscape.
C. By showing students’ love for nature. D. By highlighting the function of plants.
9. What can we know about the holistic approach?
A. It was initiated by UCLA. B. It avoids using pesticides.
C. It focuses on students’ welfare. D. It is intended to connect schools.
10. Why does the author mention “picnic tables” in paragraph 6?
A. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B. To suggest safety improvements.
C. To discourage outdoor activities. D. To stress health risks to students.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Native Plants: Key to Preventing Pollution.
B. UCLA’s Holistic Plan: For Safer Classrooms.
C. The Holistic Method: Toward Sustainable Campuses.
D. Sustainability Through Trees: For Greener Campuses.
D
For decades “Monday blues” has been a term for the collective groan (叹息) that greets the start of each workweek. Mondays come with higher rates of anxiety, stress and even suicide compared with other days.
The stress and anxiety experienced on Monday seems to ease as the week unfolds. But is the stress and anxiety biologically distinct? Furthermore, could the fleeting changes in mood leave a mark on people’s body even after they stop working? To answer these questions, Professor Tarani Chandola from HKU, looked into the phenomenon, focusing on the stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇).
When we experience a stressor, the brain activates the release of cortisol, which helps us to manage short-term stress. But constant high levels of cortisol disturb the brain and bodily systems, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
Chandola studied 3,511 participants aged 50 and older in England, and the results were striking. Older adults who reported feeling anxious on Mondays had, on average, 23 percent higher levels of cortisol up to two months later, compared with those who felt anxious on other days. And the effect was not limited to those still working; retirees who felt anxious on Mondays also showed higher cortisol.
Why might Mondays, in particular, have a powerful effect on the body? One possibility is that the shift from the weekend to the high demands of the week is essentially stressful. Also, some people become anxious on Mondays so routinely that it becomes an automatic bodily response.
For some people, Monday blues are constant stressors. Hospitals may need to plan for the increased risk of heart attacks and other health events on Mondays, especially among older adults. In addition, international practices like meditation, mindfulness, regular physical activity or good sleep might help people adapt to the start of the week and have long-term health benefits. Finally, researchers will need to investigate why some people are resilient (适应力强) to Monday anxiety while others are not. That question might open the door to interventions that help people start the week not just with a groan but with greater resilience.
12. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Extreme. B. Uncommon. C. Short-lived. D. Far-reaching.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. To define a medical term.
B To show ways to handle stress.
C. To explain how cortisol helps reduce stress.
D. To reveal how stress harms health biologically.
14. What did Chandola’s study find about Monday anxiety?
A. Its levels are closely related to age. B. It is a lifelong burden for some people.
C. It is the primary challenge people face. D. Its effects are limited among the elderly.
15. Which is one of the author’s suggestions to address Monday blues?
A. Researchers doing further studies. B. Hospitals keeping track of the old.
C. Individuals seeking help from others. D. Companies reducing Monday workloads.

I could always count on my grandfather to show me a ____23____ way of seeing things. For a man of his age, his mind remained ____24____ and he was always willing to learn something ____25____. Yet, this openness didn’t mean he accepted every change without reservation.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sumi’s daughter Anna had always been called “Number 23.” Every time the school released exam results, Anna would always end up in 23rd position among 50 pupils. Always 23, regardless of topic or term. Every time Sumi heard that nickname, it caused her concern.
When Sumi stayed with her friends, their discussion nearly always turned to their children. You know how it goes-one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about math olympiads or leadership responsibilities. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all Sumi could think about was Anna and her unpleasant nickname, Number 23.
Sumi had done everything to help Anna with school-hired professional tutors, bought fancy stationery, even packed brain food. And Anna tried. She gave up sketching, paper cutouts, and many others. She moved from one class to another, endlessly trying. But then the indicators started showing-she lost her appetite, couldn’t sleep, and sweated all the time. Eventually, she got terribly sick. That was when Sumi gave in. She stopped pressing and Anna bounced back to being the cheery little child they knew.
One day Sumi and her friends went on a weekend trip with their families. During lunch, two kids got into a heated quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. Then Anna stepped in. “Let’s flip (抛) a coin,” she said. Simple as that. Boom-problem solved. Everyone was astonished.
Later, on the journey back, they got delayed in traffic. The kids were getting restless. Anna? She started delivering jokes like a big sister. Even the adults laughed. Then she took the leftover candy boxes and started changing them into animals-paper elephants, lions, and birds. Before everyone said goodbye, she presented one to each youngster as a gift. The other parents were shining with appreciation. For the first time in years, Sumi felt something well up in her chest-pride.
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。
Not long after, Sumi got a phone call from Anna’s class teacher.

That afternoon, Anna returned home, the Class Star certificate in hand.
