17-year-old Marcus Skeet completed the cross-country run from Land’s End to John O’Groats on Thursday, May 29, 2025, a classic challenge across the mainland UK. After raising about £130,000 for a mental (心理的) health charity, he said the 58 days of running had been “the best months of his life”. Marcus is the first person under 18 to have completed the adventure.
The teenager, who lives with his parents in Malton, North Yorkshire, has openly talked about the challenges he faced with his physical and mental health. “When I was 15, I tried to end my own life. I was 145 kg and suffering badly from anxiety.”
Marcus started to run one mile a day before taking part in his first marathon (马拉松) in September, joined by his friend Russ Cook, who ran the length of Africa. Encouraged by Mr. Cook, Marcus said his dream was to run the length of the UK, and he hoped to raise £20,000 for the mental health charity Mind.
Marcus said the journey was “very difficult” and that at times it was wet, dark and a “lonely adventure”. But there were also some unforgettable moments, from running alongside deer to enjoying amazing sunrises and sunsets. “It’s been beautiful. The last few weeks have been dream-like,” he added.
His challenge caught the attention of famous people, and on day four of the run he received a special message. Four-time Olympic medal holder Sir Mo Farah posted on social media saying: “Keep going, young man! Anything is possible.” Former NFL star JJ Watt also sent a message, saying: “Just over a year ago, you began a journey to change your life and along the way, you changed the lives of so many others.”
Marcus said he met many “amazing” people along the way, but one of his best moments was when someone drove four hours to find him on the road and share their story about mental health.

If you were to walk through each of the Louvre’s 400 galleries (展厅), you would cover about 14.5 km. Stop to look at each artwork for 15 seconds, and you would be there for about 145 hours. As a result, few of the nearly 9 million people who visit the Louvre each year leave feeling as if they have truly mastered it.
Elaine Sciolino, formerly the leader of The New York Times, has volunteered herself as a tour guide. In the book Adventures in the Louvre, she does not try to take readers through every room or write the museum’s long and colorful history. Instead, she focuses on central topics and small details that will interest them.
The writer has a reporter’s knack for raising a good question. Of all the faces in the Louvre, “Who is the fairest one of all?” she asks Sébastien Allard, director of paintings, who offers five suggestions (by Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt, Pisanello, Titian and Johannes Vermeer). Many Louvre workers think the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, the world’s most famous artwork, is not as good as people say. Yet around four-fifths of visitors come mainly to see it and pay little attention to other treasures.
Even people who understand the collection well can still learn something. For example, about 1,700 works have “mnr” on their labels (标签), which stands for Musées Nationaux Récupération, or National Museums Recovery. That means they are looked after by the Louvre but aren’t part of its collection.
For the Louvre, history ended in 1848 — later masterpieces are in France’s other national museums — but its change continues. Recently French government started a renovation (翻新) costing $800m-900m, which would, among other things, give the Mona Lisa her own gallery. Visitors will have even more need of a knowledgeable guide.
8. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 1?
A. To prove the value of artworks.
B. To recommend the best tour path.
C. To show the large size of the Louvre.
D To stress the speed of viewing artworks.
9. What does the book Adventures in the Louvre focus on?
A. Every room of the Louvre.
B. The long history of the Louvre.
C. Well-known artworks in the Louvre.
D. Specific topics and details in the Louvre.
10. What does the underlined word “knack” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Hobby. B. Skill. C. Task. D. Chance.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Mona Lisa: A Perfect Work
B. The Louvre: Facts You May Not Know
C. The Mona Lisa: The Star of the Louvre
D. The Louvre: A Must-Visit for Art Lovers
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍卢浮宫规模庞大难被游客全面了解,还介绍了《卢浮宫奇遇记》一书的特色,以及卢浮宫鲜为人知的细节和其当下的翻新变化。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“If you were to walk through each of the Louvre’s 400 galleries (展厅), you would cover about 14.5 km. Stop to look at each artwork for 15 seconds, and you would be there for about 145 hours.(如果你走过卢浮宫的400个展厅,行程约有14.5公里。如果每件艺术品停留15秒观赏,你会在那里待上约145个小时。)”可知,作者列举这些数字是为了直观展现卢浮宫的规模十分庞大。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the book Adventures in the Louvre, she does not try to take readers through every room or write the museum’s long and colorful history. Instead, she focuses on central topics and small details that will interest them.(在《卢浮宫奇遇记》一书中,她并未试图带着读者走遍每个展厅,也没有撰写这座博物馆漫长而多彩的历史。相反,她聚焦于能引起读者兴趣的核心主题和微小细节。)”可知,《卢浮宫奇遇记》这本书聚焦于卢浮宫中的特定主题和细节。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The writer has a reporter’s knack for raising a good question. Of all the faces in the Louvre, “Who is the fairest one of all?” she asks Sébastien Allard, director of paintings, who offers five suggestions (by Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt, Pisanello, Titian and Johannes Vermeer). (这位作者有着记者特有的knack,总能提出好问题。在卢浮宫的众多画作中,她向绘画部主任塞巴斯蒂安·阿拉尔发问:“哪一幅是最美的?”主任给出了五个答案,分别是雅克-路易·大卫、伦勃朗、皮萨内洛、提香和约翰内斯·维米尔的作品。)”可知,作者能像记者一样巧妙地提出优质问题,由此可推测knack意为“技巧、本领”,与“skill”意义相近。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,第三段提到卢浮宫工作人员对《蒙娜丽莎》的评价与游客的追捧形成反差,第四段介绍了卢浮宫藏品标签上“mnr”的含义这一冷知识,第五段讲述卢浮宫的历史界定和翻新计划,这些都是关于卢浮宫人们可能不知道的事实,结合前文对卢浮宫规模和相关书籍的介绍,可知全文核心是介绍卢浮宫的各类冷知识和不为人熟知的事实,所以“卢浮宫:你可能不知道的事实”概括了文章主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。
D
A major study with over 80,000 people has shown that speaking many languages can greatly slow down the brain’s aging process and help prevent cognitive decline (认知下降). Published in the journal Nature Aging, the research finds that multilingual (多语言的) people are half as likely to show signs of speedy biological aging compared to those who speak only one language.
According to Agustin Ibáñez, a scientist of the study, the research aimed to address a long-standing question in aging studies: whether multilingualism really slows down aging. While earlier studies had suggested that speaking many languages improves cognitive functions like memory and attention, many of those studies had problems. Their sample (样本) sizes were small and their ways to measure aging weren’t practical, so the results weren’t the same.
This new research, however, has been praised for its size and dependability. Christos Pliatsikas, a professor at the University of Reading, noted that the findings could bring a big change to the field.
The research group looked at information from 86,000 healthy people. These people were between 51 and 90 years old and came from 27 European countries. They worked out each person’s “biobehavioral age gap (差值)”. This gap is the difference between how old a person really is and how old they’re expected to be based on things like heart health, how they live, and their educational level. A larger gap suggests faster aging. The researchers also discovered that people who spoke only one language were two times more likely to have a big biobehavioral age gap. Moreover, the protective effect increased with the number of languages spoken.
Even though the research subjects only self-reported their language skills without detailed examination, the large and different sample helped researchers explain things like wealth and background. Agustin Ibáñez stressed that the study strongly supports the idea that multilingualism itself — not other things — helps protect the brain during aging. He also called for future studies to include non-European populations.
The researchers hope their findings will influence educational rules to improve language learning, viewing multilingualism as a powerful tool for healthy cognitive aging.
12. What is the main finding of the study mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Education reduces cognitive decline.
B. Language learning avoids brain aging.
C. Multilingualism benefits brain function.
D. Multilingual people have speedy aging.
13. What does the phrase “biobehavioral age gap” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A person’s actual age (in years).
B. The speed of a person’s aging.
C. A person’s educational level.
D. The condition of one’s physical age.
14. What is Agustin Ibañez’s attitude towards the study’s finding?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
15 Where is this text most likely taken from?
A. A practical guide. B. A personal blog.
C. A language textbook. D. A science news report.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项关于多语言能力的研究发现,该研究表明掌握多种语言能延缓大脑衰老、预防认知下降,还介绍了研究过程、优势及研究人员的期待。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A major study with over 80,000 people has shown that speaking many languages can greatly slow down the brain’s aging process and help prevent cognitive decline (认知下降).(一项有八万多人参与的重大研究表明,掌握多种语言能极大地延缓大脑的衰老过程,并有助于预防认知能力下降。)”可知,该研究的主要发现是掌握多种语言对大脑功能有益。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“This gap is the difference between how old a person really is and how old they’re expected to be based on things like heart health, how they live, and their educational level. A larger gap suggests faster aging.(这个差值是一个人的实际年龄与根据心脏健康、生活方式和教育水平等因素预估的年龄之间的差距。差值越大,说明衰老速度越快。)”可知,生物行为年龄差值指的是一个人的衰老速度。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Agustin Ibáñez stressed that the study strongly supports the idea that multilingualism itself — not other things — helps protect the brain during aging.(奥古斯丁·伊瓦涅斯强调,这项研究有力地证明了是掌握多种语言本身——而非其他因素——在衰老过程中保护大脑。)”可知,奥古斯丁·伊瓦涅斯对该研究的发现持支持的态度。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,文章介绍了一项关于多语言能力与大脑衰老关系的科学研究,包括研究发现、研究过程、研究人员的观点和期待等专业且客观的内容,这类内容最有可能出自科学新闻报道。故选D项。

·Write down specific writing goals.

·Join a writing community.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍汉字“茶”的字形蕴含人与自然的内涵,相关茶文化展览融入世界汉语大会,为汉语学习搭建文化切入点。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:但很少有人意识到,中文里表示“茶”的这个词蕴含着关于人与自然的特殊含义,这也解释了中国人为何长久以来喜爱茶。此处描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语the Chinese word for “tea”为单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式carries。故填carries。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:教育部下属的语言教育与合作中心的石林林说,该机构致力于有效推动全球汉语教育和文化交流。此处位于不定冠词an之后,用organize的名词形式organization,意为“机构,组织”。故填organization。
【38题详解】

【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她指着展览中关于过去用过的茶叶如何被用于造纸的介绍解释道:“文化为语言学习提供了一个切入点,我们确保从外人的视角来介绍它。”此处表泛指“一个切入点”,entry是以元音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词an。故填an。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:她指着展览中关于过去用过的茶叶如何被用于造纸的介绍解释道:“文化为语言学习提供了一个切入点,我们确保从外人的视角来介绍它。”根据时间状语in the past可知,此处用一般过去时,used tea leaves与reuse为被动关系,主语为复数,所以谓语动词为were reused。故填were reused。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:该展览是上周五至周日在北京举办的世界汉语大会的一部分。此处为固定搭配from...to...,意为“从……到……”,用介词to。故填to。
【43题详解】

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这为他们提供了一个很好的机会,分享各自的经验,也让他们看到文化、新颖的教学理念和交流如何能让语言学习变得更加丰富。此处为固定搭配a chance to do sth.,意为“做某事的机会”,用动词不定式to share作后置定语。故填to share。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:这为他们提供了一个很好的机会,分享各自的经验,也让他们看到文化、新颖的教学理念和交流如何能让语言学习变得更加丰富。此处much修饰形容词比较级,rich的比较级为richer,意为“更丰富的”。故填richer。

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。
On a bright Saturday morning, Kell Morris, 61, and his wife, Joanna, were hiking east of Seward. The sun was shining as they carefully walked along a rocky riverbed, heading towards a lake at the foot of a large hill. They were laughing and enjoying the beautiful nature, completely unaware that their peaceful hike was about to turn into a fight for survival.
As they made their way up the river, Kell climbed a small bank to get a closer look at an object he thought was an old, unused ski. Suddenly, the ground under him broke apart. He was caught in a rockslide. When the sliding stopped, Kell found himself face-down in the icy river, a huge, half-moon-shaped stone on his back. He was trapped.
The water was very cold. Kell struggled to keep his head above the rising water. His wife, Joanna, rushed to help. She tried with all her strength to lift the huge rock, but it wouldn’t move. Kell felt the dangerous cold spreading through his body. “I’m not going to last long in this water,” he thought to himself. He began to fear this was where his adventurous life would end.
They were in a faraway mountain with no phone signal (信号). Knowing time was important, Joanna told Kell to “stay put” and hurried off to find a signal to call for help. Alone, Kell fought to stay conscious (意识清醒的), the icy water weakening his strength.
In Seward, Fire Leader Clinton Crites received the call. He knew ground conditions were too hard for vehicles (车辆) or a quick hike. A rescue on foot would take too long. Luckily, a local helicopter company agreed to help. A helicopter carried rescuers to the site, where they had to jump a short distance to the ground because landing was impossible.
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。
They found Kell still trapped and the water was higher.

When Kell woke up in the hospital, he saw his teary wife.

【答案】例文
They found Kell still trapped and the water was higher. Joanna was holding his head up, trying to keep him out of the icy river. The rescuers quickly checked the situation. They used special air bags, ropes, and other tools to try to lift the rock. After several minutes, they managed to move it. He was immediately covered in warm cloths and carried to the waiting helicopter and then to the nearest hospital. Though tired and shaking uncontrollably, Kell managed a weak smile, with a ray of life returning to his eyes.
When Kell woke up in the hospital, he saw his teary wife. She was sitting by his bedside, holding his hand. “Thank goodness you’re awake,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. Kell smiled weakly and touched her hand. He knew he had been lucky to survive. The doctor came in to check on him, telling him he would recover. Kell felt thankful for the quick response of the rescuers. He made a call to the leader of the rescue team, expressing his deep thankfulness. This life-threatening hiking accident turned into a heart-warming story of survival, love, and thankfulness, showing the power of human kindness and the value of life.

17-year-old Marcus Skeet completed the cross-country run from Land’s End to John O’Groats on Thursday, May 29, 2025, a classic challenge across the mainland UK. After raising about £130,000 for a mental (心理的) health charity, he said the 58 days of running had been “the best months of his life”. Marcus is the first person under 18 to have completed the adventure.
The teenager who lives with his parents in Malton, North Yorkshire, has openly talked about the challenges he faced with his physical and mental health. “When I was 15, I tried to end my own life. I was 145 kg and suffering badly from anxiety.”
Marcus started to run one mile a day before taking part in his first marathon (马拉松) in September, joined by his friend Russ Cook, who ran the length of Africa. Encouraged by Mr. Cook, Marcus said his dream was to run the length of the UK, and he hoped to raise £20,000 for the mental health charity Mind.
Marcus said the journey was “very difficult” and that at times it was wet, dark and a “lonely adventure”. But there were also some unforgettable moments, from running alongside deer to enjoying amazing sunrises and sunsets. “It’s been beautiful. The last few weeks have been dream-like,” he added.
His challenge caught the attention of famous people, and on day four of the run he received a special message. Four-time Olympic medal holder Sir Mo Farah posted on social media saying: “Keep going, young man! Anything is possible.” Former NFL star JJ Watt also sent a message, saying: “Just over a year ago, you began a journey to change your life and along the way, you changed the lives of so many others.”
Marcus said he met many “amazing” people along the way, but one of his best moments was when someone drove four hours to find him on the road and share their story about mental health.
4. What did Marcus Skeet do on May 29, 2025?
A. He finished crossing the UK.
B. He started a classic challenge.
C. He completed his first marathon.
D. He raised £13,000 for a charity.
5. Why did Marcus Skeet make this journey?
A. To become famous. B. To realize his dream.
C To lose weight quickly. D. To meet amazing people.
6. What can be learnt about Marcus’s journey?
A. It went smoothly. B. It attracted little attention.
C. It positively affected others. D. It lasted over two months.
7. Which of the following can best describe Marcus Skeet?
A. Warm-hearted and calm. B. Easy-going and skilled.
C. Strong-willed and responsible. D. Well-trained and lucky.
C
If you were to walk through each of the Louvre’s 400 galleries (展厅) you would cover about 14.5 km. Stop to look at each artwork for 15 seconds, and you would be there for about 145 hours. As a result, few of the nearly 9 million people who visit the Louvre each year leave feeling as if they have truly mastered it.
Elaine Sciolino, formerly the leader of The New York Times, has volunteered herself as a tour guide. In the book Adventures in the Louvre, she does not try to take readers through every room or write the museum’s long and colorful history. Instead, she focuses on central topics and small details that will interest them.
The writer has a reporter’s knack for raising a good question. Of all the faces in the Louvre, “Who is the fairest one of all?” she asks Sébastien Allard, director of paintings, who offers five suggestions (by Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt, Pisanello, Titian and Johannes Vermeer). Many Louvre workers think the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, the world’s most famous artwork, is not as good as people say. Yet around four-fifths of visitors come mainly to see it and pay little attention to other treasures.
Even people who understand the collection well can still learn something. For example, about 1,700 works have “mnr” on their labels (标签), which stands for Musées Nationaux Récupération, or National Museums Recovery. That means they are looked after by the Louvre but aren’t part of its collection.
For the Louvre, history ended in 1848 — later masterpieces are in France’s other national museums — but its change continues. Recently French government started a renovation (翻新) costing $800m-900m, which would, among other things, give the Mona Lisa her own gallery. Visitors will have even more need of a knowledgeable guide.
8. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 1?
A. To prove the value of artworks.
B. To recommend the best tour path.
C. To show the large size of the Louvre.
D. To stress the speed of viewing artworks.
9. What does the book Adventures in the Louvre focus on?
A. Every room of the Louvre.

A major study with over 80,000 people has shown that speaking many languages can greatly slow down the brain’s aging process and help prevent cognitive decline (认知下降). Published in the journal Nature Aging, the research finds that multilingual (多语言的) people are half as likely to show signs of speedy biological aging compared to those who speak only one language.
According to Agustin Ibáñez, a scientist of the study, the research aimed to address a long-standing question in aging studies: whether multilingualism really slows down aging. While earlier studies had suggested that speaking many languages improves cognitive functions like memory and attention, many of those studies had problems. Their sample (样本) sizes were small and their ways to measure aging weren’t practical, so the results weren’t the same.
This new research, however, has been praised for its size and dependability. Christos Pliatsikas, a professor at the University of Reading, noted that the findings could bring a big change to the field.
The research group looked at information from 86,000 healthy people. These people were between 51 and 90 years old and came from 27 European countries. They worked out each person’s “biobehavioral age gap (差值)”. This gap is the difference between how old a person really is and how old they’re expected to be based on things like heart health, how they live, and their educational level. A larger gap suggests faster aging. The researchers also discovered that people who spoke only one language were two times more likely to have a big biobehavioral age gap. Moreover, the protective effect increased with the number of languages spoken.
Even though the research subjects only self-reported their language skills without detailed examination, the large and different sample helped researchers explain things like wealth and background. Agustin Ibáñez stressed that the study strongly supports the idea that multilingualism itself — not other things — helps protect the brain during aging. He also called for future studies to include non-European populations.
The researchers hope their findings will influence educational rules to improve language learning, viewing multilingualism as a powerful tool for healthy cognitive aging.
12. What is the main finding of the study mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Education reduces cognitive decline.
B. Language learning avoids brain aging.
C. Multilingualism benefits brain function.
D. Multilingual people have speedy aging.
13. What does the phrase “biobehavioral age gap” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A person’s actual age (in years).
B. The speed of a person’s aging.
C. A person’s educational level.
D. The condition of one’s physical age.
14. What is Agustin Ibañez’s attitude towards the study’s finding?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
15. Where is this text most likely taken from?
A. A practical guide. B. A personal blog.
C. A language textbook. D. A science news report.

·Write down specific writing goals

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。
On a bright Saturday morning, Kell Morris, 61, and his wife, Joanna, were hiking east of Seward. The sun was shining as they carefully walked along a rocky riverbed, heading towards a lake at the foot of a large hill. They were laughing and enjoying the beautiful nature, completely unaware that their peaceful hike was about to turn into a fight for survival.
As they made their way up the river, Kell climbed a small bank to get a closer look at an object he thought was an old, unused ski. Suddenly, the ground under him broke apart. He was caught in a rockslide. When the sliding stopped, Kell found himself face-down in the icy river, a huge, half-moon-shaped stone on his back. He was trapped.
The water was very cold. Kell struggled to keep his head above the rising water. His wife Joanna, rushed to help. She tried with all her strength to lift the huge rock, but it wouldn’t move. Kell felt the dangerous cold spreading through his body. “I’m not going to last long in this water,” he thought to himself. He began to fear this was where his adventurous life would end.
They were in a faraway mountain with no phone signal (信号). Knowing time was important, Joanna told Kell to “stay put” and hurried off to find a signal to call for help. Alone, Kell fought to stay conscious (意识清醒的), the icy water weakening his strength.
In Seward, Fire Leader Clinton Crites received the call. He knew ground conditions were too hard for vehicles (车辆) or a quick hike. A rescue on foot would take too long. Luckily, a local helicopter company agreed to help. A helicopter carried rescuers to the site, where they had to jump a short distance to the ground because landing was impossible.
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。
They found Kell still trapped and the water was higher.

When Kell woke up in the hospital, he saw his teary wife.
