But running about 21.1 kilometers is still far from easy. That’s why it is surprising to hear of someone finishing hundreds of them in just a year. Edward Molineaux, a 34-year-old personal trainer from Willenhall, England, did exactly that, 16 465 half marathons in just one year to break the world record and log over 6,000 miles 17 . His achievements included running six half marathons in a 18 day, which pushed his body and mind to their limits. Molineaux began running at 16, but didn’t take it 19 until he suffered a disease that forced him to give up high-impact sports like boxing. “All I could do was 20 ,” he later said. What began as a form of physical therapy to recover from a hernia surgery has turned into a deep, lifelong passion. “I love giving inspiration to other people, and that feeling keeps me going,” he shared. To achieve 13 half marathons on a 21 basis (依据), Molineaux followed a strict, exhausting schedule: three each run on Monday and Wednesday, two each on Tuesday and Thursday, and one each for the remaining three days. He has 22 races with blisters (水疱) and tiredness, but he also developed a clear nutrition strategy for his “madness”: He avoided eating before runs, but took bananas for quick energy, then ate meat and fish at night to rebuild his strength. From surgery recovery to record-breaking success, Molineaux’s journey highlights extraordinary determination. He has become a 23 of hope and inspiration, proving that limits can be redefined (重新定义) through strong will and purpose. His story reminds us that true strength is not just physical, but the courage to keep moving 24 when life knocks you down. 15. A. challenging B. interesting C. exciting D. amazing 16. A. reporting B. watching C. marking D. completing 17. A. in detail B. in all C. in turn D. in general 18. A. silent B. similar C. single D. simple 19. A. clearly B. secretly C. carelessly D. seriously 20. A. swim B. throw C. run D. jump 21. A. daily B. weekly C. monthly D. yearly 22. A. got through B. got away C. got into D. got off 23. A. hero B. symbol C. part D. sign 24. A. upward B. toward C. forward D. backward 三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。（本大题共 13 小题，每小题 2 分，共 26 分） A 25. The pictures above are ______.

But then, Eddie, a boy from my history class shouted, “She lives in a Spook House!” He pointed right out the window and yelled. “I can’t believe it. I thought only ghosts lived there!” I felt my face grew hot and blinked back a tear. Everyone looked out the window, then at me, including Justine, who said, “Wait, Sarah, I thought you lived in the flat.” “We moved.” I said in a low voice. “In a week?” She asked. I didn’t answer. “The house will look a lot better once we have it painted.” Justine gave me a pitiful look, the kind of look you give a dog that lives in rubbish. “I’m sorry you have to live there.” In class, I could not read a word in the book. A storm churns in my stomach. I wanted to talk to Justine more about my house, but after class, she hurried off to walk with another girl. I stayed silent during dinner. “What’s wrong?” Grandma asked. “This house. The kids at school call it the Spook House.” Grandma shook her head. “Kids. They’ll make fun of anything. This is a fine house, and your mom has worked hard to make it nice.” “The inside, yes. But the outside is terrible,” I replied. Grandma smiled. “At least you have a home, sweetheart. Some people don’t, you know.” As always, she was right. But I still didn’t feel any better. The next morning, an idea launched in my head. At school, I saw Juan and waved him down. “Have you painted any houses yet, Juan?” “Not yet. We’re just starting our business.” “Well, what if you paint my house as a sample? Instead of paying you, we would let you put a sign in our yard to advertise, and people could see what a great job you’ve done. You know, one good ad is worth a million dollars.” Juan laughed. “It might work.” Then my mom picked again Coastal Colors. Each day, as Juan and David worked, every brushstroke felt like magic. When the painting was done, the house looked amazing. As cars drove by, they slowed down to read the sign. All summer, Juan got more business this way. By the start of the new term, where I lived was no longer cared about. Most kids who talked about it had moved on to other things. Justine never did invite me over, and that was fine. I have had a new friend, Donita. She loves my house and has made a poster of it. At the top, instead of writing “the Spook House”, she wrote in a lovely script Coastal Villa (别墅). 31. How does Sarah feel when she says “A storm churns in my stomach.”? A. Ashamed. B. Scared. C. Nervous. D. Surprised. 32. What does Sarah’s painting plan mainly show about her character? A. She believes ads are more valuable than money. B. She is good at painting and designing. C. She is creative and has a problem-solving mind. D. She is trying to avoid paying anyone. 33. What is the best title for this story? A. The Amazing Painting B. The Spook House C. True Friendship D. Magical Brushes D At Anhui Acupuncture and Moxibustion Hospital (安徽省针灸医院) in Hefei, Svetlana Strinzha from Russia scans a QR code and takes a photo of her tongue with her phone. Within seconds, an AI-powered tongue diagnosis (诊断) device gives a full health report. “It is truly fascinating to witness such a device that joins AI and traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis together. It has afforded me a deeper and clearer understanding of my own health condition,” Strinzha says. “AI is paving new pathways for the modernization and internationalization of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine),” says Dong Changwu, the chief expert behind the system at the same hospital, “It presents health information in a directer and more understandable way.” At present, the system can be used in several languages including English, Russian and French. It has been introduced into more than 10 countries, such as Switzerland, Singapore and Malaysia. “The AI tongue checker is both highly accurate and user-friendly. It helps give quick medical services to more people and saves healthcare resources,” says Kiu Caracani, a Swiss TCM doctor. Caracani, Strinzha and tourists from different countries recently traveled to Anhui where they received acupuncture and witnessed the amazing changes brought by AI technology in TCM. They also traveled to the mountainous areas to experience ecological (生态的) health and wellness. “While admiring the breathtaking scenery of Mount Huangshan, we also had the opportunity to experience local TCM diagnosis and treatment,” Caracani says. He added that China’s easier visa (签证) policies in recent years have enabled more international patients to experience TCM diagnosis, treatment and cultural experiences in the country. “From acupuncture diagnosis and treatment to the center building, and from technology transfer to professional (专业的) training programs, we use TCM as a bridge to push for the exchanges and learning between China and foreign countries, helping more people understand, trust, and choose TCM,” explained Lei Li, Party secretary of the Anhui hospital. The hospital is now trying to do more to combine TCM with tourism and the health industry, allowing international visitors to enjoy high-quality health services at the foot of Mount Huang. 34. Why does the writer mention Strinzha at the beginning of the passage? A. To compare different tongue diagnoses. B. To prove TCM costs little and takes less time. C. To explain how QR code works. D. To give an example of AI-powered TCM. 35. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The AI tongue diagnosis system. B. The tongue photo taken by the phone. C. The health information in the report. D. Anhui Acupuncture and Moxibustion Hospital. 36. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ______. The Anhui hospital has not only brought in foreign patients but also taken active steps to “go global” by sending TCM doctors to other countries. A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 6 C. Paragraph 7 D. Paragraph 8 37. What can we learn from the passage? ______ A. The AI tongue diagnosis device will replace human doctors soon. B.

Here is an Earth-helping hero. Adeline Tiffanie Suwana was twelve when her family’s home was flooded. Indonesia, her island nation in South-east Asia, is often hit hard by floods and other natural disasters. Adeline wanted to help. Studying the problem, she learned that mangrove trees play an important role in flood protection. Their big, tangled (缠结的) roots slow floodwaters and keep soil from washing away. But the trees were being cut down. Adeline gathered her classmates to plant 200 mangrove young trees during a school break. They staffed a group called Friends of Nature, which works to keep the area’s biodiversity (生物多样性), fight against climate change, and help people realize the importance of the environment. They even started a project to bring clean energy to remote villages. Today, Adeline attends college, studying how businesses can help the environment.
