【原文】W: On September 16th, 2021, a group of “ordinary” people blasted off into space in the first space mission with no professional astronauts. The mission, called Inspiration4, was the idea of billionaire Jared Isaacman, who paid the company SpaceX to arrange the flight. He’s a pilot who has flown different kinds of airplanes. Mr. Isaacman decided to use the trip to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Haley Arceneaux, 29, was a cancer patient at St. Jude when she was a child. Ms. Arceneaux works at St. Jude as a physician’s assistant, helping patients and assisting doctors. She is the youngest American to fly into orbit. The capsule has room for four crew members. Mr. Isaacman’s company held a contest to fill one of the spots. The position was won by Dr. Sian Proctor, a college professor who was nearly chosen as a NASA astronaut in 2009. The Inspiration4 mission orbited 360 miles (575km) above the Earth. That was about 93 miles higher than the International Space Station.
第二部分 阅读理解(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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 closed on February 20. Let’s take a look at these Chinese elements through the designs and the ingenious ideas behind them.
Medals
The front side of the Winter Olympic medals was based on the ancient Chinese jade concentric circle pendants, with five rings representing “the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of people’s hearts”. The reverse side of the medals was inspired from a piece of Chinese jadeware called “Bi”, a double jade disc with a circular hole in the center. There are 24 dots and arcs engraved on the rings of the back side, which carries the wish that athletes achieve excellence and shine like stars at the Games.
Emblem
The Beijing 2022 emblem combines traditional and modern elements of Chinese culture, and embodies the passion and vitality of winter sports. Inspired by the Chinese character “Dong (冬)” for “winter”, the upper part of the emblem resembles a skater and its lower part a skier. It also indicates that the Games coincide with the celebrations of the Chinese New Year. The blue color in the emblem represents dreams, the future and the purity of ice and snow, while red and yellow— the colors of China’s national flag-present passion, youth and vitality.
Mascots
Bing Dwen Dwen (冰墩墩) the cute mascot of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, captures attention with the panda’s full-body “shell” made out of ice. The inspiration came from traditional Chinese snack “ice-sugar gourd” (tanghulu) , while the shell also resembles a space suit— embracing new technologies for a future of infinite possibilities, “Bing” is the Chinese character for ice, which symbolizes purity and toughness, in line with the spirit of the Olympics. Dwen Dwen is a common nickname in China for children that suggests health and ingenuity.
Uniforms
The Chinese delegation wore a set of long cashmere coats with beige for the male team and the traditional red for the female team, with woolen hats that matched their coats. Some athletes also wore red caps with beige coats. They all wore white boots. Their scarves’ were in the color of China’s national flag, with the Chinese character for “China” woven in yellow on the red background. The color red highlights the warm and festive atmosphere and shows the hospitality of the Chinese people.
21. Where was the inspiration of the reverse side of the medals from?
A. From traditional Chinese snacks. B. From a piece of Chinese jadeware.
C. From a bronze lamp. D. From Chinese characters.
22. What does the blue color in the emblem represent?
A. It represents health and ingenuity.
B. It represents passion, youth and vitality.
C. It represents dreams, the future and the purity of ice and snow.
D. It represents the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of people’s hearts
23. Which of the following elements was designed for the infinite possibilities of the future?
A. Medals. B. Emblem. C. Mascots. D. Uniforms
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C

B
Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when Dave McNee first met Claudia Mandekic. Mandekic, then training to be a teacher, told McNee how hard it was to get students excited about math. He made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”
This idea got its first shot in 2011. The pair, who had launched a tutoring nonprofit, were invited to run a summer program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges School. When the students first showed up, they weren’t exactly thrilled, Mandekic recalls. But she and McNee taught them shooting techniques while also having them calculate their field-goal percentage.
The winning team was the group with the highest total percentage and most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” Mandekic says. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The program, later named BallMatics, soon spread across Toronto schools. Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. BallMatics has been hitting only net since its founding. In 2019, the organization started a private high school called Uchenna Academy. It now serves 26 full-time students and provides financial assistance for those who need it. Kids with exceptional basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics after-school programs.
The program’s value is clear: last year, three of the first graduates landed university scholarships for their classroom performance, not on the court — though they also made the basketball teams.
Duane Douglas, now 20 and studying for an education degree, was one of them. He explains the secret of the program’s success. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game. Coaches would bench students who didn’t keep up in class. We were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.”
24. What is the major function of the first paragraph?
A. To highlight the difficulty of math teaching.
B. To question a popular belief about teaching.
C. To explain how a teaching team was formed.
D. To introduce the birth of a new teaching idea.
25. How did the students react when the first BallMatics session ended?
A. They were too engaged to leave. B. They eagerly asked to play again.
C. They felt completely exhausted. D. They found the math problem too hard.
26. What does the phrase “hitting only net” in paragraph 4 suggest about the BallMatics program?
A. It faced significant challenges. B. It achieved continuous success.
C. It became financially profitable. D. It focused only on basketball skills.
27. What key lesson can be drawn from the program of BallMatics?
A. Interest can be a powerful drive for learning.
B. Discipline in sports can lead to academic success.
C. Sports can open another door to higher education.
D. Hands-on practice is an effective way to teach math.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述两位教育从业者结合篮球运动创新数学教学模式,创立BallMatics项目,凭借趣味教学助力学生学业进步、实现全面发展。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Mandekic, then training to be a teacher, told McNee how hard it was to get students excited about math. He made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”(当时正在接受教师培训的曼德基奇向麦克尼诉说很难让学生对数学产生兴趣,他提出了一个出人意料的建议:“为什么不加入他们喜欢的东西,比如体育运动呢?”)”可知,首段主要介绍新式教学理念的诞生缘由。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave.(铃声响起时,他们专注于收集数据、算出获胜队伍,迟迟不愿离开。)”可知,第一期课程结束时,学生们投入其中,舍不得离开。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The program, later named BallMatics, soon spread across Toronto schools.(该项目随后被命名为BallMatics,很快在多伦多各所学校推广开来。)”以及“In 2019, the organization started a private high school called Uchenna Academy.( 2019年,该机构创办了一所名为乌琴纳学院的私立高中。)”可知,该项目不断推广、发展壮大、稳步推进,发展态势极好,由此可推断,画线短语表示“该项目持续取得成功”。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第六段中的“If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game. Coaches would bench students who didn’t keep up in class. We were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.(如果我们不完成学习任务,就不能参加比赛。教练会让跟不上课堂进度的学生坐冷板凳。我们终究是学生运动员,而非运动型学生。)” 可知,项目依托篮球兴趣调动学生学习积极性,由此可知,兴趣可以成为学习的强大动力。
C
Despite decades of indoor smoking bans and restrictions which serve to protect non-smoking people from exposure to second-hand smoke, a new research from Drexel University suggests that third-hand smoke, the chemical residue (残留物) from cigarette smoke that attaches itself to anything and anyone nearby, can make its way into the air and spread through buildings where no one is smoking.
Peter DeCarlo, an atmospheric chemist at Drexel, revealed the new exposure route for third-hand smoke—through aerosol particles (气溶胶颗粒) which are common particles suspended in the air—they come from various sources and are harmful to health. “In an empty classroom, where smoking has not been allowed, we found that 29 percent of the entire indoor aerosol mass contained third-hand smoke chemical species. This shocked us and raised many questions about how that much third-hand smoke could continue to exist in a non-smoking room,” he says.
To investigate the cause of this surprising finding, DeCarlo and his coworkers first made cigarette smoke flow into a Pyrex container, allowing the smoke chemicals to stay inside. Then they made any residual smoke flow out of the container before pulling outdoor air through it to clear out any second-hand smoke. After a day, purified outdoor air was passed through the container and the researchers measured the chemical composition of the aerosol particles it acquired and compared it to outdoor air that hadn’t passed through the container. They found a 13 percent increase in third-hand smoke chemical species in the air that went through the Pyrex container, which meant that, though it seemed as though the smoke had cleared, a chemical residue still existed and found a way to attach itself to passing aerosol particles.
This means that the discovery was by no means unique to that classroom; in fact, it’s likely quite a widespread phenomenon. “While most people expect that they’ ll be exposed to air pollution from cars, or other chemicals in low concentrations when they’ re outside—they tend to think that they’ re escaping all that when they step indoors,” DeCarlo says. “Understanding that we are constantly exposed to these chemicals, even in our workplaces, is a challenge to communicate to the public.”
28. What does the research show?
A. Third-hand smoke spreads widely. B. Smoking bans function well.
C. Smoke residue exists temporarily. D. Indoor smoking is strictly restricted.
29. Why was the discovery in the classroom surprising?
A. Smoking was permitted there. B. New aerosol particles appeared there.
C. Chemical species there raised a debate. D. Partial aerosol particles there carried smoke.
30. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By observing chemicals in the lab. B. By comparing indoor and outdoor air.
C. By modeling third-hand smoke exposure. D. By measuring air quality in containers.
31. What does DeCarlo imply in the last paragraph?
A. People face new working challenges.
B. Their discovery is against expectations.
C. Smoke exposure raises widespread concerns.
D. Staying indoors frees people from air pollution.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了研究表明,三手烟能通过气溶胶颗粒在无烟建筑内传播。研究发现,即使在禁烟的空教室中,29%的室内气溶胶质量含三手烟化学物质。实验显示,经处理的空气中三手烟化学物质增加了13%,说明化学残留物会附着在气溶胶颗粒上。这提示该现象可能很普遍,人们在室内也可能持续暴露于这些有害化学物质,这对公众认知构成挑战。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段内容“Despite decades of indoor smoking bans and restrictions which serve to protect non-smoking people from exposure to second-hand smoke, a new research from Drexel University suggests that third-hand smoke, the chemical residue (残留物)from cigarette smoke that attaches itself to anything and anyone nearby, can make its way into the air and spread through buildings where no one is smoking. (尽管几十年来,为了保护不吸烟的人免受二手烟的危害,室内禁烟令和限制措施一直在实施,但德雷塞尔大学(Drexel University)的一项新研究表明,三手烟,即香烟烟雾中的化学残留物,附着在附近的任何东西和任何人身上,可以进入空气,并在没有人吸烟的建筑物中传播。)”可知,德雷塞尔大学(Drexel University)的一项新研究表明三手烟广泛传播。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的““In an empty classroom, where smoking has not been allowed, we found that 29 percent of the entire indoor aerosol mass contained third-hand smoke chemical species. This shocked us and raised many questions about how that much third-hand smoke could continue to exist in a non-smoking room,” he says. (“在一个不允许吸烟的空教室里,我们发现29%的室内气溶胶含有三手烟化学物质。他说:“这让我们感到震惊,并提出了许多问题,那么多三手烟怎么会继续存在于一个禁烟的房间里。”)”可知,这个发现之所以令人惊讶,是因为在那个教室里,尽管吸烟是被禁止的,但研究者们发现室内气溶胶质量中有29%含有三手烟化学物质,这意味着部分气溶胶颗粒携带了烟雾的化学残留物。这与人们通常认为的在禁烟场所室内空气应该是清洁的、不含烟雾化学物质的预期相违背。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“To investigate the cause of this surprising finding, DeCarlo and his coworkers first made cigarette smoke flow into a Pyrex container, allowing the smoke chemicals to stay inside. Then they made any residual smoke flow out of the container before pulling outdoor air through it to clear out any second-hand smoke. After a day, purified outdoor air was passed through the container and the researchers measured the chemical composition of the aerosol particles it acquired and compared it to outdoor air that hadn’t passed through the container. (为了调查这一惊人发现的原因,DeCarlo和他的同事们首先让香烟烟雾流入一个耐热玻璃容器,让烟雾中的化学物质留在里面。然后,他们让剩余的烟从容器中流出,然后将室外空气从容器中抽出,以清除任何二手烟。一天后,净化过的室外空气通过容器,研究人员测量了它获得的气溶胶颗粒的化学成分,并将其与未通过容器的室外空气进行了比较。)”可知,研究人员通过建模三手烟暴露来进行研究的。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“This means that the discovery was by no means unique to that classroom; in fact, it’s likely quite a widespread phenomenon. “While most people expect that they’ ll be exposed to air pollution from cars, or other chemicals in low concentrations when they’ re outside - they tend to think that they’ re escaping all that when they step indoors,” DeCarlo says. “Understanding that we are constantly exposed to these chemicals, even in our workplaces, is a challenge to communicate to the public.” (这意味着这一发现绝非仅限于那个教室;实际上,这很可能是一种相当普遍的现象。“虽然大多数人预期他们在户外时会接触到汽车尾气或其他低浓度的化学物质——他们倾向于认为当他们走进室内时就摆脱了所有这些,”DeCarlo说。“理解到我们即使在工作场所也不断暴露于这些化学物质中,向公众传达这一点是一个挑战。”)”可知,从这段话中可以分析出,DeCarlo暗示人们通常认为进入室内可以逃避室外的空气污染,但实际上,即使在室内,人们仍然会暴露于三手烟等有害化学物质中。这与人们的预期相反,说明他们的发现是出乎意料的。故选B。
D
Cristiano Ronaldo sits on his bed, reminding himself that “sleep is the most important tool that I have,” and that a disciplined routine shapes his performance. The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.
Many wearables on the market provide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physiological (生理的) data, sufficient for general everyday monitoring. Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmore says wearables have become essential tools for top athletes, who now consult their data as naturally as they tie their boots. Yet not everyone welcomes this shift toward constant monitoring. Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers. While these numbers offer insight, they cannot replace subjective awareness of energy, emotions or recovery needs. “Everything is being digitized and reduced to numbers,” McGregor says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. He adds, “Living a healthy life still means adding enjoyable habits, like evening walks or taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedom they bring, rather than simply chasing device targets.”
32. What can we learn about fitness tracking from paragraph 1?
A. It is common among ordinary people.
B. It is adopted to treat sleep disorders.
C. It controls sports training routines.
D. It guarantees top athletic performance.
33. What makes advanced wearables different from other products?
A. They are designed specifically for night eating.
B. They reveal connections between habits and health.
C. They offer separate and independent data points.
D. They provide rich and solid physiological information.
34. What is Jess McGregor worried about regarding using wearables?
A. Reduced enjoyment in daily routines. B. Lack of timely professional guidance.
C. Mental pressure from chasing numbers. D. Physical injuries from training too hard.
35. What does Dr. Zachary Walston suggest people do?
A. Abandon fitness tracking devices. B. Predict body responses from data.
C. Listen to your physical signals. D. Set clear targets for daily exercise.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讨论了健身追踪设备在普通人生活中的普及,先进可穿戴设备揭示习惯与健康之间的联系,以及专家对于使用这些设备可能带来的心理压力的担忧。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.(他手腕上的运动追踪手环,反映出他对身体状况的高度关注。而这种曾经属于专业领域的习惯,已逐渐走出竞技体育,成为希望更清晰了解自身健康状况的普通人生活中的一部分)”可知,健身追踪在普通人中很常见。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.(然而,一些先进的模型更进一步。它们展示了深夜进食或饮酒等习惯如何直接影响第二天的恢复和准备状态。这些设备不是提供单独的数据点,而是追踪小变化如何随时间累积,揭示出塑造整体健康趋势的行为模式)”可知,先进的可穿戴设备能够揭示习惯与健康之间的联系。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety.

67. 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。
At the library, Nate Jasper noticed a sign for the “First Annual Highland Drawing Contest.” It asked for artwork showing the unique beauty of their town. Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added.
Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself.
But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?”
Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!”
“Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.”
Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.”
The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold.
“There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly.
Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm.

On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible Version
Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. Briana’s eyes lit up, and the two set off right away. When they arrived, Briana gasped, “This is amazing!” Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time. Golden wheat fields swayed in the breeze like a rolling ocean, fluffy sheep grazing peacefully in the sunlight. He stood there, completely captivated. Then, Briana gently nudged him. “You should draw this, Nate. It’s a perfect scene.” That was it. Nate pulled out his sketchpad immediately, his pencil dancing across the paper. As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.Once he looked closely, it really was a fascinating place. By sunset, his sketchpad was filled with lively drawings.
On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. Local residents gathered around, buzzing with anticipation. Nate stood nervously among them, his heart pounding. Ms. Kim stepped onto the stage. “Every drawing captures the unique beauty of our town,” she said warmly, “but one work truly stood out.” She paused, and then announced Nate’s name. He walked up in disbelief, hands trembling as he accepted the award. The audience applauded loudly, and Briana waved at him from the crowd, beaming with pride. Nate stepped back, looking at his winning piece on the wall — a vivid scene of Grandpa’s farm bathed in golden sunlight. A warm smile spread across his face — beauty had always been there, and sometimes all it took was a pair of fresh eyes to see it.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Nate在图书馆看到“第一届高地绘画比赛”的通知后,原本觉得小镇平淡无奇的他,在同学Briana的启发下,开始重新发现小镇的独特之美,并决定参加比赛的故事。

The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 closed on February 20. Let’s take a look at these Chinese elements through the designs and the ingenious ideas behind them.
Medals
The front side of the Winter Olympic medals was based on the ancient Chinese jade concentric circle pendants, with five rings representing “the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of people’s hearts”. The reverse side of the medals was inspired from a piece of Chinese jadeware called “Bi”, a double jade disc with a circular hole in the center. There are 24 dots and arcs engraved on the rings of the back side, which carries the wish that athletes achieve excellence and shine like stars at the Games.
Emblem
The Beijing 2022 emblem combines traditional and modern elements of Chinese culture, and embodies the passion and vitality of winter sports. Inspired by the Chinese character “Dong (冬)” for “winter”, the upper part of the emblem resembles a skater and its lower part a skier. It also indicates that the Games coincide with the celebrations of the Chinese New Year. The blue color in the emblem represents dreams, the future and the purity of ice and snow, while red and yellow— the colors of China’s national flag-present passion, youth and vitality.
Mascots
Bing Dwen Dwen (冰墩墩) the cute mascot of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, captures attention with the panda’s full-body “shell” made out of ice. The inspiration came from traditional Chinese snack “ice-sugar gourd” (tanghulu) , while the shell also resembles a space suit— embracing new technologies for a future of infinite possibilities, “Bing” is the Chinese character for ice, which symbolizes purity and toughness, in line with the spirit of the Olympics. Dwen Dwen is a common nickname in China for children that suggests health and ingenuity.
Uniforms
The Chinese delegation wore a set of long cashmere coats with beige for the male team and the traditional red for the female team, with woolen hats that matched their coats. Some athletes also wore red caps with beige coats. They all wore white boots. Their scarves’ were in the color of China’s national flag, with the Chinese character for “China” woven in yellow on the red background. The color red highlights the warm and festive atmosphere and shows the hospitality of the Chinese people.
21. Where was the inspiration of the reverse side of the medals from?
A. From traditional Chinese snacks. B. From a piece of Chinese jadeware.
C. From a bronze lamp. D. From Chinese characters.
22. What does the blue color in the emblem represent?
A. It represents health and ingenuity.
B. It represents passion, youth and vitality.
C. It represents dreams, the future and the purity of ice and snow.
D. It represents the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of people’s hearts
23. Which of the following elements was designed for the infinite possibilities of the future?
A. Medals. B. Emblem. C. Mascots. D. Uniforms
B
Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when Dave McNee first met Claudia Mandekic. Mandekic, then training to be a teacher, told McNee how hard it was to get students excited about math. He made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”
This idea got its first shot in 2011. The pair, who had launched a tutoring nonprofit, were invited to run a summer program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges School. When the students first showed up, they weren’t exactly thrilled, Mandekic recalls. But she and McNee taught them shooting techniques while also having them calculate their field-goal percentage.
The winning team was the group with the highest total percentage and most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” Mandekic says. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The program, later named BallMatics, soon spread across Toronto schools. Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. BallMatics has been hitting only net since its founding. In 2019, the organization started a private high school called Uchenna Academy. It now serves 26 full-time students and provides financial assistance for those who need it. Kids with exceptional basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics after-school programs.
The program’s value is clear: last year, three of the first graduates landed university scholarships for their classroom performance, not on the court — though they also made the basketball teams.
Duane Douglas, now 20 and studying for an education degree, was one of them. He explains the secret of the program’s success. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game. Coaches would bench students who didn’t keep up in class. We were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.”
24. What is the major function of the first paragraph?
A. To highlight the difficulty of math teaching.
B. To question a popular belief about teaching.
C. To explain how a teaching team was formed.
D. To introduce the birth of a new teaching idea.
25. How did the students react when the first BallMatics session ended?
A. They were too engaged to leave. B. They eagerly asked to play again.
C. They felt completely exhausted. D. They found the math problem too hard.
26. What does the phrase “hitting only net” in paragraph 4 suggest about the BallMatics program?
A. It faced significant challenges. B. It achieved continuous success.
C. It became financially profitable. D. It focused only on basketball skills.
27. What key lesson can be drawn from the program of BallMatics?
A. Interest can be a powerful drive for learning.
B. Discipline in sports can lead to academic success.
C. Sports can open another door to higher education.
D. Hands-on practice is an effective way to teach math.
C
Despite decades of indoor smoking bans and restrictions which serve to protect non-smoking people from exposure to second-hand smoke, a new research from Drexel University suggests that third-hand smoke, the chemical residue (残留物) from cigarette smoke that attaches itself to anything and anyone nearby, can make its way into the air and spread through buildings where no one is smoking.
Peter DeCarlo, an atmospheric chemist at Drexel, revealed the new exposure route for third-hand smoke—through aerosol particles (气溶胶颗粒) which are common particles suspended in the air—they come from various sources and are harmful to health. “In an empty classroom, where smoking has not been allowed, we found that 29 percent of the entire indoor aerosol mass contained third-hand smoke chemical species. This shocked us and raised many questions about how that much third-hand smoke could continue to exist in a non-smoking room,” he says.
To investigate the cause of this surprising finding, DeCarlo and his coworkers first made cigarette smoke flow into a Pyrex container, allowing the smoke chemicals to stay inside. Then they made any residual smoke flow out of the container before pulling outdoor air through it to clear out any second-hand smoke. After a day, purified outdoor air was passed through the container and the researchers measured the chemical composition of the aerosol particles it acquired and compared it to outdoor air that hadn’t passed through the container. They found a 13 percent increase in third-hand smoke chemical species in the air that went through the Pyrex container, which meant that, though it seemed as though the smoke had cleared, a chemical residue still existed and found a way to attach itself to passing aerosol particles.
This means that the discovery was by no means unique to that classroom; in fact, it’s likely quite a widespread phenomenon. “While most people expect that they’ ll be exposed to air pollution from cars, or other chemicals in low concentrations when they’ re outside—they tend to think that they’ re escaping all that when they step indoors,” DeCarlo says. “Understanding that we are constantly exposed to these chemicals, even in our workplaces, is a challenge to communicate to the public.”
28. What does the research show?
A. Third-hand smoke spreads widely. B. Smoking bans function well.
C. Smoke residue exists temporarily. D. Indoor smoking is strictly restricted.
29. Why was the discovery in the classroom surprising?
A. Smoking was permitted there. B. New aerosol particles appeared there.
C. Chemical species there raised a debate. D. Partial aerosol particles there carried smoke.
30. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By observing chemicals in the lab. B. By comparing indoor and outdoor air.
C. By modeling third-hand smoke exposure. D. By measuring air quality in containers.
31. What does DeCarlo imply in the last paragraph?
A. People face new working challenges.
B. Their discovery is against expectations.
C. Smoke exposure raises widespread concerns.
D. Staying indoors frees people from air pollution.

Cristiano Ronaldo sits on his bed, reminding himself that “sleep is the most important tool that I have,” and that a disciplined routine shapes his performance. The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.
Many wearables on the market provide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physiological (生理的) data, sufficient for general everyday monitoring. Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmore says wearables have become essential tools for top athletes, who now consult their data as naturally as they tie their boots. Yet not everyone welcomes this shift toward constant monitoring. Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to “train like an athlete” can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers. While these numbers offer insight, they cannot replace subjective awareness of energy, emotions or recovery needs. “Everything is being digitized and reduced to numbers,” McGregor says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. “When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body’s gentler signals,” says Dr. Zachary Walston. He adds, “Living a healthy life still means adding enjoyable habits, like evening walks or taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedom they bring, rather than simply chasing device targets.”
32. What can we learn about fitness tracking from paragraph 1?
A. It is common among ordinary people.
B. It is adopted to treat sleep disorders.
C. It controls sports training routines.
D. It guarantees top athletic performance.
33. What makes advanced wearables different from other products?
A. They are designed specifically for night eating.
B. They reveal connections between habits and health.
C. They offer separate and independent data points.
D. They provide rich and solid physiological information.
34. What is Jess McGregor worried about regarding using wearables?
A. Reduced enjoyment in daily routines. B. Lack of timely professional guidance.
C. Mental pressure from chasing numbers. D. Physical injuries from training too hard.
35. What does Dr. Zachary Walston suggest people do?
A. Abandon fitness tracking devices. B. Predict body responses from data.
C. Listen to your physical signals. D. Set clear targets for daily exercise.

At the library, Nate Jasper noticed a sign for the “First Annual Highland Drawing Contest.” It asked for artwork showing the unique beauty of their town. Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added.
Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself.
But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?”
Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!”
“Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.”
Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.”
The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her.
