What began as getting outdoors and exploring local hikes 2 a passport stamped with adventures around the world. Like many new hikers, I joined for 3 reasons: motivation to stay active, explore nature and make friends. What I found, however, were fellow hikers who shared trail (徒步路线) knowledge, life stories and an 4 enthusiasm for travel. Conversations sometimes 5 toward overseas experiences and gradually planted seeds. Before long, I began to see a way to 6 my desire to maintain fitness and explore the world.

I also managed to persuade my husband to 11 me to Northern England. We stayed in inviting inns, passing through rolling hills and ancient villages, 12 by the beautiful scenery. Then we booked a tour to South America where we explored Patagonia. This was perhaps the most 13 of them all, with its towering peaks, fierce winds and interesting wildlife viewing. Even though our itinerary (行程表) 14 bus travel to take us from one hiking destination to another, we were required to travel on foot, dragging our suitcases behind us. It certainly 15 an experience none of us will ever forget. Along the way, my growing love of active travel led to even more adventures. These journeys 16 physical challenge with cultural immersion. Hiking friends also introduced me to backpacking, and a new passion 17 . What stands out most is how a hiking club served as a catalyst (催化剂). It did more than maintain trails; it fostered a sense of 18 and joy. Looking back, I may have joined for fitness and fresh air, but I stayed for the people.

It was one of those autumn days people anticipate in a sticky summer. The scenery along the way was 1 . Trees filled in the shade card (配色样) between light green and dark reddish brown, with birds 2 overhead. I realized what motivated people to 3 the race to live more rurally. After a few wet weeks in London, autumn just seemed better out here. I’ve spent the past 15 years living in cities where I feel most at home and comfortable. Yet even in cities, I have found that nature is something I 4 with daily. Before I moved to Brixton, we lived in a flat surrounded by a small woodland. There was a dawn chorus so loud that waking up at 5 a.m. was 5 . Watching the birds-breakfasting of the blue tits or the darting (窜上窜下) of the nuthatch-became a soap opera I was deeply 6 . In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic and the loud music from nearby bars. Cities aren’t, traditionally, strongholds of naturalism. It was always true from William Blake’s dark mills (磨坊) to contemporary 7 that found 11 million people in England, almost entirely in 8 areas, have to walk at least ten minutes to find green space. Now standing in that new garden in Brixton, 9 the birdsong, I knew that made sense. And I knew nature was there — I just needed to 10 it. It took me a while to make finding it an active practice. Then I found it on a balcony, four north-facing storeys up on a hill in Camberwell. The balcony had a good 11 : all of London’s shining buildings beneath high skies whose colors and clouds 12 by the minute. It was so small that you had to look 13 . It is a (n) essential part of enjoying nature, 14 you find it. To be out on the balcony allowed me to 15 into things that were bigger than my career, my relationship or my very sense of self. Somehow city nature seems to be even more vital and beautiful than it is in the countryside. Honey made by London bees tastes delicious because there are so many different flowers to 16 . Every plant here arrived with a story. Wild ivy (常春藤) climbs freely over 17 walls and broken fences. Its tiny seeds are carried far and 18 by the wind stirred up (激起, 挑起) by passing vehicles. Autumn did 19 in London in the end. A few weeks after Somerset, I saw the red maple leaves in a street. As I cycled through Burgess Park under pink skies, I saw dogs surrounded by mist. And one morning, looking out at the garden, I saw birds there: two blackbirds, a sparrow and a couple of robins. Our nature here is 20 , but no less beautiful. 1．A．splendid B．distant C．vague D．familiar 2．A．feeding B．circling C．migrating D．screaming 3．A．get into B．give in C．drop out of D．draw back 4．A．compete B．engage C．share D．work 5．A．affordable B．comfortable C．inevitable D．suitable 6．A．keen on B．moved by C．scared of D．cared about 7．A．response B．statistics C．phase D．dilemma 8．A．ordinary B．regular C．rural D．urban 9．A．enjoying B．hearing C．missing D．recording 10．A．look for B．see to C．think of D．work on 11．A．feel B．reputation C．sign D．view 12．A．changed B．remained C．disappeared D．waited 13．A．suddenly B．closely C．directly D．outside 14．A．whenever B．whatever C．however D．wherever 15．A．break B．come C．tune D．turn 16．A．fix on B．dine on C．survive on D．prey on 17．A．abandoned B．wooden C．firm D．ancient 18．A．high B．fast C．wide D．slowly 19．A．arrive B．display C．join D．stay 20．A．average B．different C．distinguished D．universal 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．D 9．C 10．A 11．D 12．A 13．B 14．D 15．C 16．B 17．A 18．C 19．A 20．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者对城市与乡村自然美的感悟及对城市自然的热爱。 1．考查形容词。句意：沿途的风景美不胜收。A. splendid壮丽的，极好的；B. distant遥远的；C. vague模糊的；D. familiar熟悉的。根据后文“Trees filled in the shade card (配色样) between light green and dark reddish brown, with birds ______ overhead”可知，树木在浅绿色和深红褐色之间填充了配色，鸟儿在头顶盘旋，沿途的风景很美。 2．考查动词。句意：树木填满了浅绿与深红褐色之间的配色样，鸟儿在头顶盘旋飞舞。A. feeding喂养；B. circling盘旋；C. migrating迁徙；D. screaming尖叫。根据后文“overhead”以及常识可知，此处指鸟儿在头顶盘旋。 3．考查动词短语。句意：我意识到是什么促使人们退出城市生活，选择更乡村化的生活方式。A. get into进入；B. give in屈服；C. drop out of退出；D. draw back后退。根据后文“the race to live more rurally”结合前文的美景描述可知，乡村生活更舒适惬意，人们退出城市激烈竞争去往乡村。 4．考查动词。句意：然而，即使在城市里，我也发现自然是我每天都要接触的东西。A. compete竞争；B. engage参与，接触；C. share分享；D. work工作。根据前文“I have found that nature is something”和后文“with daily”、“we lived in a flat surrounded by a small woodland.

A significant number moved from cities to greener areas, enjoying the practical 2 of driving for shopping. A 2023 report shows that about 20 million people relocated between 2019 and 2021, many from urban to more vast locations. However, even in less crowded areas, walking remains an excellent way to 3 . Walking makes it easy to 4 exercise into daily life without needing 5 or memberships. According to U.S. health guidelines, adults should get at least 150 minutes of 6 or 75 minutes of dynamic aerobic (有氧的) activity per week. Aerobic activities are best spread throughout the week, 7 for at least 60 minutes of movement each day. I worked as a massage therapist for several years, often walking or biking to work, keeping me active both during my 8 and on the job. Now I write full-time from home in a semi-rural part of the Hudson Valley. While I can walk to a few small shops, I still rely heavily on my car for most daily tasks. 9 , I need it regularly to visit family and access essential services in farther towns. This week encouraged me to 10 what I already had, instead of driving to buy groceries on purpose, I first checked what was in my fridge and basement. I discovered more food than I’d realized and came up with new meal ideas. I walked ten minutes to a small local cooperative shop 11 driving miles to a big supermarket. Carrying a full backpack home added a bit of extra exercise. Psychologist Dr. Juli Fraga notes that even a short walk can lower stress hormone levels and create a sense of 12 , which helps the mind relax and reset. I stopped driving to yoga or fitness classes and followed online workouts at home. Although there are many beautiful 13 nearby, I explored those within walking distance instead of driving to farther ones. 14 the drive saved me time and gave me more freedom — a clear win-win. This experiment also showed me the advantage of 15 options. When my mom visited, we chose a restaurant within walking distance instead of driving 20 minutes to a busier town.

However, in my family, hypothetical (假设的) discussions quickly turn into 1 . Within minutes, my two sisters, my brother-in-law, and I had 2 the idea of signing up for a full marathon. There were no training plans or second 3 — just four stubborn individuals determined to prove each other wrong. We had about three and a half weeks to 4 . In that time, the longest run I completed was 20 kilometers, with only a few shorter runs in between. It was 5 ideal preparations, but the goal wasn’t perfection — it was about pushing our 6 and, of course, proving a point to one another. During this period, one of my sisters, 7 after a long day at the dental clinic, remarked, “I just 8 a marathon of my own today.” Her words stayed with me. I began 9 on how often we use the word "marathon" to describe the draining (令人身心俱疲) work of healthcare professionals. This realization 10 my perspective — the race was no longer just about family 11 . It could symbolize something greater. Shortly before the race, my mother underwent surgery and recovered 12 — all thanks to the care from the healthcare teams. I witnessed the incredible 13 of them supporting her. It was then that I understood who the real marathoners were — the nurses, doctors, and therapists working tirelessly 14 the scenes. Inspired by their. compassion, I found my “why” for running: to 15 these everyday heroes. I decided to run in my scrubs(医护服) as a dental student, 16 the journey — the good runs, the struggles, and the moments I wanted to quit. To my surprise, my video story 17 many. Strangers recognized me on race day, offering encouragement. Among them was a fellow dental student who provided invaluable support and advice. Crossing the finish line was about more than 18 my family members — it was about becoming part of a community. A community of healthcare workers, runners, and everyday people who persevere through 19 . Running in scrubs, with minimal training, was my way of saying thank you — to those who care for our families, to the silent marathoners in healthcare, and to everyone who 20 others up along the way.

It was a 1 summer when I stared at my nearly empty 2 , realizing that I was slipping into financial trouble. An online advertisement caught my eye, 3 “Our delivery riders can earn $18 — $25 an hour”, so I decided to give it a try. My first day felt like a small 4 . I had earned more than I’d ever dreamed of. Orders 5 all day, and I thought success might really take no 6 . But fortune 7 visits twice. On the fifth day, the temperature climbed to 40℃. 8 by the double bonus, I kept riding and riding until I 9 under the merciless (无情的，残忍的) sun. A fellow rider named Carlos helped me up and taught me safer routes and 10 delivery practices. “What’s easy to earn often costs more than it seems,” he said. He was absolutely right. That day turned into a 11 of misfortunes — I brushed against a car and had to pay for the 12 ; three late deliveries 13 me any bonus. When I checked my final income, it dropped to barely enough for a meal. Weeks later, when I delivered a birthday meal to an old man in a nursing home, he pressed a $20 note into my palm, whispering, “You made my day.” At that moment, I began to notice the kindness that quietly surrounded me — a stranger’s “Take care”, a customer’s smile, and Carlos’s timely 14 . Standing under the same sun that had once made me fall,I finally understood: the highest pay was never counted in 15 , but in the courage to rise again and the patience to endure. And I also learned that every job has its 16 , and success never comes without 17 . After that summer, I no longer 18 easy money. Instead, I valued the 19 I gained from the hard experience — resilience (恢复力，适应力) and gratitude. This delivery job, though tough, became a 20 lesson in my life. 1．A．carefree B．burning C．secure D．wasted 2．A．account B．expense C．office D．stomach 3．A．reminding B．discussing C．advising D．promising 4．A．mistake B．memory C．miracle D．target 5．A．slowed down B．flooded in C．piled up D．fell behind 6．A．wish B．risk C．effort D．chance 7．A．instantly B．rarely C．occasionally D．frequently 8．A．Rewarded B．Surprised C．Motivated D．Impressed 9．A．coughed B．collapsed C．shouted D．quitted 10．A．record-breaking B．low-carbon C．time-saving D．budget-friendly 11．A．chain B．piece C．sign D．dream 12．A．parking B．insurance C．fine D．damage 13．A．offered B．cost C．covered D．left 14．A．rescue B．recognition C．warning D．intelligence 15．A．titles B．dollars C．prizes D．credits 16．A．challenges B．benefits C．routines D．secrets 17．A．doubt B．regret C．struggle D．pride 18．A．relied on B．dreamed of C．turned down D．gave up 19．A．skills B．lessons C．wealth D．fame 20．A．boring B．simple C．valuable D．painful 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 6．C 7．B 8．C 9．B 10．C 11．A 12．D 13．B 14．A 15．B 16．A 17．C 18．B 19．B 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者为解决经济困难做外卖骑手，经历初期顺利与后续挫折，最终领悟工作真谛与人生道理的故事。 1．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：那是一个炎热的夏天，我盯着自己几乎空空如也的账户，意识到自己正陷入经济困境。A. carefree无忧无虑的；B. burning炎热的；C. secure安全的；D. wasted浪费的。根据后文“On the fifth day, the temperature climbed to 40℃”可知，夏天温度极高，此处应用“炎热的”形容夏天。故选B。 2．考查名词词义辨析。句意：那是一个炎热的夏天，我盯着自己几乎空空如也的账户，意识到自己正陷入经济困境。A. account账户；B. expense开销；C. office办公室；D. stomach胃。根据后文“realizing that I was slipping into financial trouble”可知，此处应是账户里没钱，才陷入经济困境。故选A。 3．考查动词词义辨析。句意：一则网上广告吸引了我的注意，广告承诺：“我们的外卖骑手每小时能赚18 — 25美元”，于是我决定试一试。A. reminding提醒；B. discussing讨论；C. advising建议；D. promising承诺。根据后文“Our delivery riders can earn $18 — $25 an hour”可知，这是广告对外卖骑手收入的承诺。故选D。 4．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的第一天感觉就像一个小小的奇迹。A. mistake错误；B. memory记忆；C. miracle奇迹；D. target目标。根据后文“I had earned more than I’d ever dreamed of”可知，第一天收入远超预期，对作者来说像奇迹一样。故选C。 5．考查动词短语辨析。句意：订单一整天都源源不断，我以为成功可能真的不费吹灰之力。A. slowed down减速；B. flooded in大量涌入；C. piled up堆积；D. fell behind落后。根据前文“I had earned more than I’d ever dreamed of”推测，订单量很大，源源不断进来。故选B。 6．考查名词词义辨析。句意：订单一整天都源源不断，我以为成功可能真的不费吹灰之力。A. wish愿望；B. risk风险；C. effort努力；D. chance机会。根据前文“I had earned more than I’d ever dreamed of”推测，作者初期觉得这份工作很顺利，以为成功不需要付出太多努力。故选C。 7．考查副词词义辨析。句意：但好运难得光顾两次。A. instantly立即；B. rarely很少；C. occasionally偶尔；D. frequently频繁地。根据后文“On the fifth day, the temperature climbed to 40℃. ____ by the double bonus, I kept riding and riding until I ____ under the merciless sun.”可知，好运不会一直有，很少光顾两次。故选B。 8．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在双倍奖金的激励下，我不停地骑啊骑，直到在无情的烈日下晕倒。A.

Later, he worked in Africa, where many people suffered from 13 for lack of proper treatment. For him, it was one thing to 14 his own fate of being blind and quite another to allow something to continue 15 it could be fixed so easily. This moved him to action. And tens of millions in Africa and Asia can see because of the 16 Wilson made to avoiding the 17 disease. Wilson received international 18 for his great contributions.

What began as getting outdoors and exploring local hikes 2 a passport stamped with adventures around the world. Like many new hikers, I joined for 3 reasons: motivation to stay active, explore nature and make friends. What I found, however, were fellow hikers who shared trail (徒步路线) knowledge, life stories and an 4 enthusiasm for travel. Conversations sometimes 5 toward overseas experiences and gradually planted seeds. Before long, I began to see a way to 6 my desire to maintain fitness and explore the world. It was challenging at first, as I was still working full-time, and could only 7 once a year. Nevertheless, I managed to 8 short vacations and visited many striking places. Each subsequent trip brought fresh 9 and helped strengthen my willpower. I learned to navigate routes, something I once thought impossible, 10 unexpected situations and communicate with people from different cultures. I also managed to persuade my husband to 11 me to Northern England. We stayed in inviting inns, passing through rolling hills and ancient villages, 12 by the beautiful scenery. Then we booked a tour to South America where we explored Patagonia. This was perhaps the most 13 of them all, with its towering peaks, fierce winds and interesting wildlife viewing. Even though our itinerary (行程表) 14 bus travel to take us from one hiking destination to another, we were required to travel on foot, dragging our suitcases behind us. It certainly 15 an experience none of us will ever forget. Along the way, my growing love of active travel led to even more adventures. These journeys 16 physical challenge with cultural immersion. Hiking friends also introduced me to backpacking, and a new passion 17 . What stands out most is how a hiking club served as a catalyst (催化剂). It did more than maintain trails; it fostered a sense of 18 and joy. Looking back, I may have joined for fitness and fresh air, but I stayed for the people. Through organized activities and shared 19 , club members learn not only about the trails beneath their feet but also about themselves. One trail led to another, and before I knew it, the path 20 across countries and continents.

It was one of those autumn days people anticipate in a sticky summer. The scenery along the way was 1 . Trees filled in the shade card (配色样) between light green and dark reddish brown, with birds 2 overhead. I realized what motivated people to 3 the race to live more rurally. After a few wet weeks in London, autumn just seemed better out here. I’ve spent the past 15 years living in cities where I feel most at home and comfortable. Yet even in cities, I have found that nature is something I 4 with daily. Before I moved to Brixton, we lived in a flat surrounded by a small woodland. There was a dawn chorus so loud that waking up at 5 a.m. was 5 . Watching the birds-breakfasting of the blue tits or the darting (窜上窜下) of the nuthatch-became a soap opera I was deeply 6 . In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic and the loud music from nearby bars. Cities aren’t, traditionally, strongholds of naturalism. It was always true from William Blake’s dark mills (磨坊) to contemporary 7 that found 11 million people in England, almost entirely in 8 areas, have to walk at least ten minutes to find green space. Now standing in that new garden in Brixton, 9 the birdsong, I knew that made sense. And I knew nature was there — I just needed to 10 it. It took me a while to make finding it an active practice. Then I found it on a balcony, four north-facing storeys up on a hill in Camberwell. The balcony had a good 11 : all of London’s shining buildings beneath high skies whose colors and clouds 12 by the minute. It was so small that you had to look 13 . It is a (n) essential part of enjoying nature, 14 you find it. To be out on the balcony allowed me to 15 into things that were bigger than my career, my relationship or my very sense of self. Somehow city nature seems to be even more vital and beautiful than it is in the countryside. Honey made by London bees tastes delicious because there are so many different flowers to 16 . Every plant here arrived with a story. Wild ivy (常春藤) climbs freely over 17 walls and broken fences. Its tiny seeds are carried far and 18 by the wind stirred up (激起, 挑起) by passing vehicles. Autumn did 19 in London in the end. A few weeks after Somerset, I saw the red maple leaves in a street. As I cycled through Burgess Park under pink skies, I saw dogs surrounded by mist. And one morning, looking out at the garden, I saw birds there: two blackbirds, a sparrow and a couple of robins. Our nature here is 20 , but no less beautiful. 1．A．splendid B．distant C．vague D．familiar 2．A．feeding B．circling C．migrating D．screaming 3．A．get into B．give in C．drop out of D．draw back 4．A．compete B．engage C．share D．work 5．A．affordable B．comfortable C．inevitable D．suitable 6．A．keen on B．moved by C．scared of D．cared about 7．A．response B．statistics C．phase D．dilemma 8．A．ordinary B．regular C．rural D．urban 9．A．enjoying B．hearing C．missing D．recording 10．A．look for B．see to C．think of D．work on 11．A．feel B．reputation C．sign D．view 12．A．changed B．remained C．disappeared D．waited 13．A．suddenly B．closely C．directly D．outside 14．A．whenever B．whatever C．however D．wherever 15．A．break B．come C．tune D．turn 16．A．fix on B．dine on C．survive on D．prey on 17．A．abandoned B．wooden C．firm D．ancient 18．A．high B．fast C．wide D．slowly 19．A．arrive B．display C．join D．stay 20．A．average B．different C．distinguished D．universal Passage 4 I often 1 writing for weeks or even months, waiting for that perfect moment when my mind, body, and surroundings were in harmony, letting thoughts 2 . But that moment rarely arrived and I 3 putting together a hasty piece only when deadlines got really close. Then I met Sachin, a fellow PhD student equally 4 under the weight of a fellowship application. We made a pact: after dinner, we’d sit together with laptops open, phones 5 . When I was tempted to scroll my phone, seeing Sachin 6 writing made me put it down in embarrassment and turn to my work. Our informal 7 soon became a habit: we 8 weekly 90-minute sessions and began each by naming a small, achievable goal. 9 stressing over an entire proposal, we only had to finish a tiny piece of it. Each step forward, however minor, felt like real progress. Those small 10 built momentum (动力) and confidence; a few sentences grew into paragraphs, then into complete proposals. Writing never got as easy as I’d hoped, but it became less lonely and far more 11 . Sachin and I noticed our peers facing similar struggles and wanted to 12 this experience. Two years after our first 13 , we launched peer co-working sessions for second-year PhD students preparing their thesis proposals. Each week, a group 14 in a quiet seminar room: first, everyone set a small goal, then 75 minutes of focused writing, and 15 a reflection period. The room felt tense at first, but as people 16 during reflection, a sense of relief spread.

We are 3 in trying to understand the logic of things happening around us; we see separate parts and we are aware of their interrelations. But all of our efforts appear to be 4 when a new component appears, destroying all of the previous 5 constructions.” “The meaning of life.” the teacher 6 turned his sight from the flower, “can only be understood by someone whose mind isn’t clouded with earthly 7 , wishes and passions. Only new-borns are close to that 8 . The essence of a new-born reminds us of a lotus, 9 on the unshakable stillness of the pond. The surface of their soul isn’t touched by the wind of wishes, the rain of 10 , the snow of complaints, and the ice of loss. At first, the pond’s shores are empty and 11 . And later, the World appears, with all of its meaningless worldliness (世俗). On the shores of the pond all kinds of teachers 12 up, mentors, friends, enemies, lovers, children, relatives. Every word, every lesson, every act of kindness or harm, every influence we have disturbs the 13 soul of a child, making him grow up and go further and further from the understanding of the meaning of life.” “But we can’t get rid of all of this,” the student 14 heatedly. “You’ve understood everything right, my boy.” A light smile touched the lips of the old man. “If you want to search for the meaning of life, you will need to 15 every wish, attachment and feeling, cutting off the ties that join you with worldly troubles and passions, and then, 16 , you will be able to go back to the beginning. But what all of this is for? Is the search worth it? Ask yourself this question and if the answer will be negative, remain the person between the people.” The teacher turned his 17 towards the lotus again and finished, “And about the 18 of life, you will always be able to talk with friends, while sitting in the shade of your cottage, 19 the cheerful laughter of children, and drinking tea, 20 your loving wife brings you.” 1．A．view B．silence C．balance D．talking 2．A．exposed B．related C．hidden D．escaped 3．A．buried B．surrounded C．concerned D．disappointed 4．A．in common B．in doubt C．in need D．in vain 5．A．original B．local C．logical D．functional 6．A．reluctantly B．obviously C．consequently D．angrily 7．A．fears B．troubles C．anxieties D．difficulties 8．A．civilization B．restriction C．level D．state 9．A．soaring B．shaking C．dancing D．spying 10．A．movements B．developments C．attachments D．statements 11．A．noisy B．dirty C．graceful D．peaceful 12．A．grow B．cheer C．speed D．bring 13．A．unbearable B．unacceptable C．untouched D．unstable 14．A．broke out B．shouted out C．figured out D．gave out 15．A．satisfy B．achieve C．reuse D．refuse 16．A．frankly B．possibly C．unknowingly D．undoubtedly 17．A．back B．eyes C．face D．head 18．A．goal B．destination C．wonder D．sense 19．A．watching for B．speaking of C．listening to D．ridding of 20．A．which B．that C．what D．as Passage 6 In recent years, many Americans’ lives have changed 1 the pandemic. A significant number moved from cities to greener areas, enjoying the practical 2 of driving for shopping. A 2023 report shows that about 20 million people relocated between 2019 and 2021, many from urban to more vast locations. However, even in less crowded areas, walking remains an excellent way to 3 . Walking makes it easy to 4 exercise into daily life without needing 5 or memberships. According to U.S. health guidelines, adults should get at least 150 minutes of 6 or 75 minutes of dynamic aerobic (有氧的) activity per week. Aerobic activities are best spread throughout the week, 7 for at least 60 minutes of movement each day. I worked as a massage therapist for several years, often walking or biking to work, keeping me active both during my 8 and on the job. Now I write full-time from home in a semi-rural part of the Hudson Valley. While I can walk to a few small shops, I still rely heavily on my car for most daily tasks. 9 , I need it regularly to visit family and access essential services in farther towns. This week encouraged me to 10 what I already had, instead of driving to buy groceries on purpose, I first checked what was in my fridge and basement. I discovered more food than I’d realized and came up with new meal ideas. I walked ten minutes to a small local cooperative shop 11 driving miles to a big supermarket. Carrying a full backpack home added a bit of extra exercise. Psychologist Dr. Juli Fraga notes that even a short walk can lower stress hormone levels and create a sense of 12 , which helps the mind relax and reset. I stopped driving to yoga or fitness classes and followed online workouts at home. Although there are many beautiful 13 nearby, I explored those within walking distance instead of driving to farther ones. 14 the drive saved me time and gave me more freedom — a clear win-win. This experiment also showed me the advantage of 15 options. When my mom visited, we chose a restaurant within walking distance instead of driving 20 minutes to a busier town. This saved time, 16 us to connect more. The post-meal walk helped manage blood sugar. I used to run 17 , but now focus more on strength training. Walking to restaurants, stores, and trails helped me 18 steps I once got from running. This week of walking helped me rediscover walking’s multiple 19 in a car-dependent setting: it improves health, reduces waste, and helps us 20 and connect more closely with the world around us. 1．A．regardless of B．due to C．but for D．apart from 2．A．discomfort B．convenience C．difficulty D．efficiency 3．A．work off B．lie down C．get around D．work out 4．A．integrate B．transform C．combine D．change 5．A．equipment B．imagination C．motivation D．suggestion 6．A．particular B．optional C．extreme D．moderate 7．A．aiming B．acquiring C．struggling D．experiencing 8．A．mystery B．journey C．commute D．value 9．A．Otherwise B．Therefore C．However D．Furthermore 10．A．make use of B．get rid of C．get down to D．take care of 11．A．rather than B．because of C．as well as D．except for 12．A．curiosity B．fulfillment C．concern D．confusion 13．A．awards B．comments C．prospects D．trails 14．A．Keeping B．Skipping C．Advocating D．Tackling 15．A．limiting B．increasing C．enhancing D．avoiding 16．A．revealing B．exchanging C．engaging D．allowing 17．A．suddenly B．rarely C．regularly D．occasionally 18．A．regain B．adjust C．maintain D．regret 19．A．appearances B．purposes C．functions D．benefits 20．A．speed up B．slow down C．put out D．take off Passage 7 It all began with a lighthearted family debate about who could theoretically (理论上) run the fastest marathon. However, in my family, hypothetical (假设的) discussions quickly turn into 1 . Within minutes, my two sisters, my brother-in-law, and I had 2 the idea of signing up for a full marathon. There were no training plans or second 3 — just four stubborn individuals determined to prove each other wrong. We had about three and a half weeks to 4 . In that time, the longest run I completed was 20 kilometers, with only a few shorter runs in between. It was 5 ideal preparations, but the goal wasn’t perfection — it was about pushing our 6 and, of course, proving a point to one another. During this period, one of my sisters, 7 after a long day at the dental clinic, remarked, “I just 8 a marathon of my own today.” Her words stayed with me. I began 9 on how often we use the word "marathon" to describe the draining (令人身心俱疲) work of healthcare professionals. This realization 10 my perspective — the race was no longer just about family 11 . It could symbolize something greater. Shortly before the race, my mother underwent surgery and recovered 12 — all thanks to the care from the healthcare teams. I witnessed the incredible 13 of them supporting her. It was then that I understood who the real marathoners were — the nurses, doctors, and therapists working tirelessly 14 the scenes. Inspired by their. compassion, I found my “why” for running: to 15 these everyday heroes. I decided to run in my scrubs(医护服) as a dental student, 16 the journey — the good runs, the struggles, and the moments I wanted to quit. To my surprise, my video story 17 many. Strangers recognized me on race day, offering encouragement. Among them was a fellow dental student who provided invaluable support and advice. Crossing the finish line was about more than 18 my family members — it was about becoming part of a community. A community of healthcare workers, runners, and everyday people who persevere through 19 . Running in scrubs, with minimal training, was my way of saying thank you — to those who care for our families, to the silent marathoners in healthcare, and to everyone who 20 others up along the way. 1．A．reality B．truth C．routine D．hope 2．A．put forward B．tried out C．turned down D．jumped at 3．A．options B．thoughts C．doubts D．chances 4．A．train B．arrange C．spare D．practise 5．A．more than B．something of C．far from D．nothing but 6．A．records B．limits C．strengths D．powers 7．A．encouraged B．relaxed C．exhausted D．depressed 8．A．got over B．applied for C．took up D．went through 9．A．wandering B．working C．insisting D．reflecting 10．A．shifted B．confirmed C．shaped D．colored 11．A．bond B．competition C．tradition D．debate 12．A．mostly B．hurriedly C．precisely D．smoothly 13．A．contribution B．devotion C．experience D．speed 14．A．behind B．on C．beyond D．through 15．A．admire B．urge C．honor D．motivate 16．A．breaking B．continuing C．filming D．guiding 17．A．engaged B．puzzled C．bothered D．covered 18．A．supporting B．beating C．impressing D．encouraging 19．A．failures B．demands C．periods D．challenges 20．A．fixes B．holds C．lifts D．picks Passage 8 At the age of 22, Lisa decided to start her own business. Baking had always been her 1 , and her dream was to open a small bakery. However, the journey was anything but 2 . She encountered multiple challenges, ranging from finding a suitable location to managing her tight budget. Some people doubted her chances of success and even advised her to give up on the idea entirely. One day, Lisa found a small shop for rent in a busy neighborhood. Although the rent was higher than she could afford, she decided to take the 3 and borrowed money from friends and family to 4 the startup costs. She spent weeks getting the shop 5 , painting the walls, setting up furniture, and 6 her recipes. However, just days before the grand opening, her primary baking equipment 7 , forcing her to work late into the night to secure a replacement. At last, the bakery stood prepared to greet its first customers. On opening day, Lisa felt a mix of excitement and 8 . She wasn’t sure if anyone would come. To her surprise, the bakery was 9 , and her cakes were warmly praised by customers. 10 , as days went by, fewer and fewer customers showed up. Lisa realized she needed to 11 to attract more customers. She experimented with new recipes, but the results were inconsistent, and she began to lose 12 . Refusing to give up, Lisa began offering free samples to draw 13 and introduced a program to reward regular customers. Gradually, her bakery gained popularity. She also 14 social media, posting eye-catching photos of her cakes and telling her story. 15 , She partnered with local events, creating unique cakes for parties and celebrations. Her hard work 16 paid off, and the bakery became a favorite spot in the neighborhood. 17 , Lisa understood that her success wasn’t just about her baking skills.

In that moment, Sia realized the troubling 3 to her own life of privilege. She went back home, 4 her closet doors and saw shoes — many of which hadn’t been 5 for months or years — piled up high. Then she 6 to give them all away to the children she saw at the construction site.

After she 9 the word with posters and WhatsApp groups, inquiries from people who wanted to help came 10 in. For months, Sia was balancing schoolwork and her new passion project.

But just before junior year, Greenberg’s 1 changed. One day his vision “ 2 up” and later he was diagnosed with glaucoma (青光眼). Then doctors operated on Greenberg’s eyes. 3 , the surgery didn’t work. Greenberg was going blind. He was so 4 that he refused to see anyone. As Greenberg’s best friend, Arthur persuaded Greenberg to go back to Columbia and 5 to be his reader. Arthur read 6 to him every day, taking time out of his own study, and Greenberg 7 scoring straight A’s. Still, he was 8 about getting around alone and relied on his friend. Then, one afternoon, Greenberg and Arthur went to Midtown Manhattan. When it was time to go back to campus, Arthur said he couldn’t 9 him because of an appointment. Greenberg 10 . They argued, and Arthur walked off, 11 Greenberg alone in Grand Central Terminal. Greenberg, who was completely 12 , stumbled (蹒跚) through the rush-hour crowd. He took a shuttle train west to Times Square, and then transferred to an uptown train. Four miles later, he 13 at the Columbia University stop. At the university’s gate, someone 14 him. “Ops, excuse me, sir.” Greenberg 15 the voice. It was Arthur’s. Greenberg’s first reaction was 16 , but in the next second, he realized what he had just 17 and realized, too, who had made it possible. 18 , Arthur had been with him the whole way, using one of the most 19 strategies.

This time I was more or less 8 he is not cheating me. I gave him some and said this is all I had. A year went by and I had moved to a(n) 9 place. One fine day I got a call from an unknown number. The caller called out his name but I didn’t 10 him. Then he said he is the very paralyzed person I helped a year ago. I asked him how he is doing. He said, “What sir? You recognize me not by my name but by my 11 state.” “With your kind help, I am now able to 12 on my legs without support. I was operated 13 . I am married to a beautiful lady and have a stable 14 .” I don’t 15 remember if I gave him my phone number. 16 , what he said next was touching. He said he wanted to return my money so that I didn’t feel cheated and continued to help people 17 in the future.

In my application letter, I was careful to 1 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 2 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 3 friends. While traveling and meeting people was 4 , nothing about my term in France was what I 5 . The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 6 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 7 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator: there had been an accident in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 8 out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 9 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to 10 my native language, I asked not to be 11 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 12 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 13 . I left France with many 14 , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 15 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 16 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 17 seem so different, but end up being so 18 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people 19 to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

For this, a lot of times we run into situations where there is a 1 barrier. Last week while I was at work, one of my workmates, who works in the dining hall of my company, twisted (扭伤) her 2 while lifting something that might have been too 3 for her. This particular workmate of mine speaks 4 English and my Spanish needs much work. But we have never had a problem 5 . When I ran into her shortly after her 6 , I took a look and I knew that a simple first aid 7 called “RICE” (Rest, Ice, Compression (敷，压), and Elevation (抬高), was what she needed 8 she was able to get to the doctor. With little understanding of what I was doing, she trusted that I meant to 9 . So she gave me her 10 and I wrapped (包裹) it up 11 before she left to see her doctor. Today she came up to me while I was getting my breakfast and without a word, she 12 me and patted me on my back and said a lot of 13 to me. I had forgotten about the 14 already and when I looked down I saw that her arm was in a cast (石膏). She went on to tell me that her doctor told her putting 15 on her injury was a good thing, which could cool down the wounded part, but she never would have known to do it. As she was telling me this, I saw how my 16 act of kindness had had an influence on her. I was also thankful to have such an unusual moment because this lady has served me breakfast every day for the last four years and I had 17 exchanged more than greetings and breakfast 18 with her.

It was a 1 summer when I stared at my nearly empty 2 , realizing that I was slipping into financial trouble. An online advertisement caught my eye, 3 “Our delivery riders can earn $18 — $25 an hour”, so I decided to give it a try. My first day felt like a small 4 . I had earned more than I’d ever dreamed of. Orders 5 all day, and I thought success might really take no 6 . But fortune 7 visits twice. On the fifth day, the temperature climbed to 40℃. 8 by the double bonus, I kept riding and riding until I 9 under the merciless (无情的，残忍的) sun. A fellow rider named Carlos helped me up and taught me safer routes and 10 delivery practices. “What’s easy to earn often costs more than it seems,” he said. He was absolutely right. That day turned into a 11 of misfortunes — I brushed against a car and had to pay for the 12 ; three late deliveries 13 me any bonus. When I checked my final income, it dropped to barely enough for a meal. Weeks later, when I delivered a birthday meal to an old man in a nursing home, he pressed a $20 note into my palm, whispering, “You made my day.” At that moment, I began to notice the kindness that quietly surrounded me — a stranger’s “Take care”, a customer’s smile, and Carlos’s timely 14 . Standing under the same sun that had once made me fall,I finally understood: the highest pay was never counted in 15 , but in the courage to rise again and the patience to endure. And I also learned that every job has its 16 , and success never comes without 17 . After that summer, I no longer 18 easy money. Instead, I valued the 19 I gained from the hard experience — resilience (恢复力，适应力) and gratitude.

As a curious kid, while most of my friends were outdoors playing football or lost in video games, I could always be 1 in our messy garage. There, I devoted my afternoons to 2 broken radios and ancient clocks, not to throw them away, but driven by a strong desire to uncover the 3 of their inner workings. My parents, half-amused and half-impressed, called me their little engineer — a title I wore with great 4 . Naturally, this interest guided me to choose mechanical engineering in college. 5 , the initial excitement soon gave way to frustration. The dry, complex theories and endless mathematical formulas felt strangely 6 and distant compared to the real joy of actually fixing things that I remembered so fondly. Doubts began to 7 in my mind. Was I truly cut out for this? Had I made a(n) 8 in choosing this path? Feeling uncertain and a bit lost during a summer break, I decided to 9 my grandfather. Seeing my confusion, he didn’t offer lengthy advice. Instead, he 10 handed me a dusty, old pocket watch. “It was your great-grandfather’s,” he explained. “It hasn’t worked for decades. Do you think you can bring it back to life?” I accepted the challenge 11 . The following days saw me completely 12 in the world of that timepiece. Its small parts were completely different from the abstract diagrams in my textbooks. Yet, as I patiently cleaned, polished, and carefully put together each tiny component, a long-forgotten feeling 13 over me — the pure satisfaction that comes from truly understanding and successfully 14 something with your own hands. When the second hand finally made a sudden move and began its steady tick, a powerful thrill of 15 rushed through me, a feeling I hadn’t experienced in years. That simple success proved to be a significant 16 point. I returned to university with a completely renewed 17 . The theories were no longer meaningless abstractions; I now saw them as the 18 principles behind the physical mechanics I loved. I began to approach my studies with fresh eyes, viewing them as a necessary 19 for solving the kind of real-world problems I cared about. This 20 in perspective ultimately shaped my career. 1．A．spotted B．evaluated C．replaced D．identified 2．A．pulling up B．breaking with C．tearing off D．taking apart 3．A．examples B．mysteries C．signs D．versions 4．A．pride B．fortune C．shame D．stress 5．A．Therefore B．Instead C．Besides D．However 6．A．empty B．abnormal C．abstract D．practical 7．A．disappear B．grow C．cancel D．delay 8．A．mistake B．difference C．effort D．excuse 9．A．interview B．call C．rescue D．visit 10．A．hesitantly B．nervously C．silently D．carelessly 11．A．at random B．with luck C．in vain D．without hesitation 12．A．absorbed B．replaced C．defeated D．trapped 13．A．took B．swept C．looked D．went 14．A．building B．creating C．repairing D．mastering 15．A．achievement B．adventure C．discovery D．recognition 16．A．starting B．turning C．breaking D．fading 17．A．attitude B．promise C．focus D．relief 18．A．awkward B．moral C．essential D．noble 19．A．material B．field C．bill D．tool 20．A．situation B．direction C．shift D．environment 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
