Since we've had quite a few medical problems,we've been advised to get more exercise. One day I had an idea.It seemed kind of silly at first,but I actually thought it might work so I told Dave about it.What if we paid ourselves to walk?My plan was this:we would each keep track of our walking time on the schedule.adding it up as "walking points."Whenever we reached 120 points,we would get $10 to spend on or save up for whatever we wanted.In addition to the money,I figured there would be a little competition, which might add to our motivation. As our money is often set aside for bills and living costs,or catching up on credit card spending,we don't often have anything extra to buy things that are not necessary. Dave liked the idea,so we started putting it into practice,and to my surprise,it should work!Dave soon began keeping up his 20 minutes a day.One of the first things Dave bought was a guitar.Another time he got Bluetooth headphones.As I write this,he has saved up $155 for some unknown item he hasn't decided on yet.The plan worked for me as well.I became more willing to walk during my break time at work. The competitive side of the plan worked as well.We found ourselves telling others that we had to go out for walks so we could earn our walking points."Dave is way ahead of me this week,"I would say. When I first thought of this idea,I also wondered how we could afford it.But as I told Dave at the time,if we kept walking,we might save on medical bills.Didn't it make sense to stay healthier and not need a doctor?We had spent thousands of dollars on medical bills in the past.Why not spend it on ourselves to stay healthy? 39.What made the author and her husband decide to walk? A.A prize system. B.A fitness program. C.A medical suggestion. D.A step-tracking schedule. 40.What was unexpected for the author? A.She saved a lot of money. B.Her husband was supportive. C.Her idea was really effective D.She did better than her husband 41.What was the competitive side of the author and her husband's plan? A.Trying to break as many unhealthy habits as possible. B.Competing with other people in sports events. C.Setting specific walking goals for each other. D.Challenging each other to walk more. 42.What is the best title for the text? A.It Pays to Keep Walking B.Money Cannot Buy Health C.A Dollar Saved is a Dollar Earned D.Daily Walking Keeps the Doctor Away c Language is not just a tool for communication;it's also a playground for the mind. English,in particular,is famous for its rich vocabulary and influence from many different languages,which provides a great basis for creativity and humor.One example of this is 重庆八中2025-2026学年度（上)期末考试高-年级英语试题第5页共11页 the use of puns-the clever or humorous use of a word that has more than one meaning,or of words that have different meanings but sound the same. Puns can be sorted into different types.Homophonic puns rely on word pairs that sound alike but have different meanings,like"A bicycle can't stand on its own because it's two-tired."Homographic puns use words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations,for example,"I can't bear the weight of that bear..” Compound puns often combine homophonic and homographic elements,creating even more complex wordplay,for example,"I was struggling to figure out how lightning works, but then it struck me.” The history of puns in English literature and culture is rich and interesting.Following their development shows how language,culture,and humor have changed over time.Puns have been a part of English literature from the early days,appearing in medieval texts and Shakespeare's plays,often used for humor or to show double meanings. During the Victorian Era.strict social norms promoted the use of puns,as they allowed people to comment on issues cleverly while avoiding directness.Today,puns are widely used in advertising,television,and social media,reflecting how English wordplay adapts to different contexts and media. People's opinions of puns have changed throughout history.Once seen as a sign of cleverness,puns were sometimes looked down on as low-level humor.However,in recent years,they've regained popularity,largely because of the Internet and social media,which allow for quick sharing and creativity in pun-based humor. 43.What can we learn from paragraph 1? A.Language is difficult to learn. B.Language develops over time. C.Language serves different social purposes. D.Language has a creative and playful nature. 44.Which of the following contains a homographic pun? A.You can call a bee from America a USB. B.Six is afraid of seven because seven ate nine. C.Time flies like an arrow;fruit flies like a banana. D.I only know 25 letters of the alphabet;I don't know Y. 45.What was the major purpose of using puns in the Victorian Era? A.To break social rules. B.To express ideas indirectly. C.To spread different opinions. D.To make communication easier. 46.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The rise and fall of the popularity of puns. B.The new changes of language in recent years. C.The influence of social media on modern humor. D.The link between puns and social communication. 重庆八中2025-2026学年度（上)期末考试高一年级英语试题第6页共11页 D Generation Alpha is the youngest identified generation in the world.This generation was the first to be born completely in the 21st century.
