And today I want to talk about something that changed how I see my family last term. My dad had to take time off work because of an injury. Our household income dropped, and I noticed mom started checking Prices more carefully at the supermarket. One night, I overheard her saying, we can't keep ordering food every week that hit me hard. I'd always thought many problems were adult things, but I realized if were a team, I should help. So I suggested a plan no take out on monday, days and thursdays. Instead, i'd learned to cook simple meals. At first I was messy. I burned rice and used too much salt, but mom told me, step by step, now I can make fried gg noodles and even dumplings from frozen ones. We're saving about sixty dollars a week more than that, dinner feels different now we eat together more. We love, we share stories. I even invited my Younger sister to help set the table. SHE calls IT our family time. This experience taught me that growing up isn't just about getting older, it's about noticing what others need and doing something. Even if it's small, you don't have to fix everything, but you can contribute. And sometimes just showing up in the kitchen makes you part of something bigger. Hi, i'm Daniel from grade ten.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four Treasures of the Study
Brushes
The brush, made from animal hair, is the tool bringing life to the paper. From delicate lines to bold brushstrokes, the brush is the medium through which the artist’s emotions and techniques flow onto the paper, creating elegant works of art. The most famous brush, the “Huzhou Brush”, is produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province.
Ink
Traditional Chinese ink comes in solid sticks. To produce liquid ink, one grinds(磨)the inkstick against an inkstone with water. The act of grinding symbolizes patience and dedication highly valued in Chinese culture. High-quality ink, originally black but now available in various colors, is most famously produced in Huizhou, Anhui Province.
Paper
Chinese paper, especially the ancient rice paper, made from sandalwood bark and rice straw, absorbs ink smoothly without bleeding. The paper serves as a canvas for not only artistic efforts but also documentation, making it a vital component in the preservation of history and culture. “Xuan Paper”, the best paper for writing, is made in Xuanzhou, Anhui Province.
Inkstones
Inkstones, used for grinding ink, were originally simple pottery tools. Later, they became artistic objects carved from stone that reflect the taste and status of their owners. The choice of inkstone is crucial as it can affect the quality and texture of the ink, further enhancing the artistic expression in calligraphy and painting. The most famous inkstone, “Duan Inkstone”, is produced in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province.
With these treasures, Chinese people created unique styles of calligraphy and painting, establishing a distinctive expression system. Today, they continue to inspire artists worldwide, bridging tradition and modernity.
21. Why is grinding ink considered meaningful in Chinese culture?
A. Because it is a difficult process. B. Because it produces ink in various colors.
C. Because it requires a high-quality inkstone. D. Because it reflects valued morals in China.
22. What can we learn about the Four Treasures of the Study?
A. The brush is made from bark. B. Ink is only produced in Huizhou.
C. “Xuan Paper” is the best paper for writing. D. Inkstones were originally carved objects.
23. Which column in a paper might the passage come from?
A. Technology. B. Travel. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. D

Speeding up and flying over a car while switching hands with a between-the-legs movement to throw the ball home, Chen Dengxing, aged 39 and standing 1.76 meters tall, made history by becoming the first athlete from China to win the dunk (扣篮) contest of the world’s biggest streetball competition in 2025.
Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice.
The turning point of his life came in 2011 at an amateur dunk contest, where Cha Tianyi, founder of China’s dunk team told him, “With your bounce and explosiveness, you don’t belong behind a bank counter.” Cha’s encouragement and guidance set him on the path to becoming a professional dunker.
To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully. Erom the pace of the approach steps to the power of the takeoff, he analyzed every detail with precision — leaving no movement unexplored. He spent about four hours in training every day — two hours of strength training and two hours of dunk practice. Even when he was out attending other events, he carried a basketball and practiced.
Now Chen has founded a dunk park which has quickly attracted many visitors who are eager to learn from him or simply witness his high-flying skills firsthand. “I will pass on my training methods and competition experience, so that the younger athletes can progress faster. My goal is to make more promising dunkers and help them step onto the international stage,” Chen said.
24. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Chen’s great achievement. B. The rules of the dunk contest.
C. Chen’s physical appearance. D. The history of the dunk contest.
25. What does Chen’s career shift show?
A. Risk-taking guarantees success. B. Opportunities favor prepared mind.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Natural talent outweighs hard work.
26. Which of the following best describes Chen in his professional training?
A. Generous and sincere. B. Focused and devoted.
C. Determined and brave. D. Patient and ambitious.
27. Why did Chen set up a dunk park?
A. To select coaches. B. To attract visitors.
C. To support dunkers. D. To meet followers.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C

A series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space.
People of many fire-prone(容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wildfire smoke so dangerous.
When organic matter like trees burns, it releases CO2, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles(颗粒). Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they’re smaller than 2.5 micrometres in diameter(直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It’s also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body.
When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned. Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas.
What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation(辐射) can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse.
28. What is the main topic of the text?
A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact.
C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke.
29. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous?
A. It enters the lungs. B. It travels far. C. It’s larger in size. D. It’s only from fires.
30. What is a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires?
A. Urban fires affect more trees. B. Urban fires burn less material.
C. Urban fires release more pollutants. D. Urban fires produce less smoke.
31. What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight?
A. It changes colour. B. It forms other pollutants.
C. It quickly disappears. D. It becomes harmless.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B

Increasing evidence suggests that sitting down too much can put our health at risk. According to the NHS, being inactive is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, some forms of cancer, and early death. Therefore, the NHS advises people to “move more, sit less”. But how often and for how long should we get up and move?
Now, researchers based at Columbia University, New York, have an answer: taking a five-minute walking break every half an hour can offset some of the harmful effects of sitting for long periods. The team had a group of 11 participants sit in ergonomic chairs for an eight-hour stretch, getting up only for bathroom breaks or their scheduled walk on a treadmill. The exercise periods tested were one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute every 60 minutes, five minutes every 30 minutes, five minutes every 60 minutes, and no walking at all.
While sitting, the participants could use their phones or laptops, or read, and were given regular meals. Their blood pressure and blood sugar were checked regularly throughout the study.
The researchers found that any amount of walking reduced blood pressure by 4-5mmHg compared to sitting all day — a significant reduction, as ideal blood pressure is usually considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
Additionally, walking for five minutes every 30 minutes reduced blood sugar spikes (猛增) after meals by more than 50 percent. Walking for one minute every 30 minutes also led to a small reduction in blood sugar spikes. Walking every 60 minutes, whether for one minute or five, had no effect.
“What we know now is that for optimal health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine,” said Diaz. “While that may sound impractical, our findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the workday can significantly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses.”
32. Why is the NHS mentioned in the text?
A. To suggest disease prevention methods.
B. To stress the seriousness of inactivity.
C. To compare international health data.
D. To explain its own research findings.
33. What were the participants required to do during the study?
A. Stand up according to a fixed schedule.
B. Take breaks freely when needed.
C. Keep moving slowly while sitting.
D. Avoid using phones or computers.
34. Which walking pattern best controlled blood sugar after meals?
A. Walking for one minute every 60 minutes.
B. Walking for five minutes every 60 minutes.
C. Walking for one minute every 30 minutes.
D. Walking for five minutes every 30 minutes.
35. What does Diaz’s statement imply?
A. Long workouts prevent chronic diseases.
B. Daily exercise forms the basis of good health.
C. Movement during work is vital for health.
D. Prolonged sitting is unavoidably harmful.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是久坐不动对健康有害,会增加患2型糖尿病、某些癌症和早逝的风险。研究人员建议,除了日常锻炼外,人们还应在工作中定期活动。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Increasing evidence suggests that sitting down too much can put our health at risk. According to the NHS, being inactive is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, some forms of cancer, and early death.(越来越多的证据表明,久坐不动会给我们的健康带来风险。据英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)称,缺乏运动与患2型糖尿病、某些癌症以及早逝的风险增加有关)”可知,文中提及英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)的目的是为了强调缺乏运动的严重性。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The team had a group of 11 participants sit in ergonomic chairs for an eight-hour stretch, getting up only for bathroom breaks or their scheduled walk on a treadmill.(研究团队让11名参与者坐在符合人体工程学的椅子上,连续坐八小时,期间只有上厕所或按计划在跑步机上散步时才能起身)”可知,研究期间对参与者的要求是按照固定时间表站起来。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Additionally, walking for five minutes every 30 minutes reduced blood sugar spikes (猛增) after meals by more than 50 percent.(此外,每坐30分钟起身步行五分钟,可使餐后血糖峰值降低50%以上)”可知,每坐30分钟步行五分钟对餐后血糖控制效果最佳。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““What we know now is that for optimal health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine,” said Diaz. “While that may sound impractical, our findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the workday can significantly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses.”(Diaz说:“我们现在知道,为了达到最佳健康状态,除了日常锻炼外,你还需要在工作中定期活动。”“虽然这听起来不太实际,但我们的研究结果表明,即使是在工作日里分散进行少量的步行,也能显著降低患心脏病和其他慢性疾病的风险。”)”可知,Diaz的话暗示了在工作中进行活动对健康至关重要。故选C。

【36题详解】
空格处是本段主题句,根据空后的“If your friend is angry about a situation at work, help her see the positive side of things. Hear out her problem before reacting (回应). But try to help her asking questions such as, “What things can you do to make the situation better?” or “What’s been happening at work lately that’s been good?”(如果你的朋友对工作中的某件事很生气,帮助她看到事情积极的一面。在做出反应之前先听听她的问题。但试着帮助她问一些问题,比如,“你能做些什么来改善情况?”或者“最近工作上发生了什么好事?”)”可知,本段主要说明的是帮助朋友看到事情积极的一面,B选项“Help her to see the positive side(帮助她看到积极的一面)”概括了本段主要内容,可作为主题句。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据第三段的主题句“Send her a card or postcard.(给她寄张卡片或明信片。)”与空前一句“Drop a note in the mail to her.(给她寄封信。)”判断,本段建议给朋友写封邮件或者寄张明信片,因此推断空格处要说她寄卡片相关的内容,G项“If you include one with a funny card, that’s better(如果你附上一张有趣的卡片,那就更好了)”,符合语境,承接上文,呼应主题。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据该空后的“as they can help her build confidence and self-esteem(因为它们可以帮助她建立自信和自尊)”判断,空格处要说到一些帮助她建立自信和自尊的事情,E项“Don’t be afraid to tell your friend these things(不要害怕告诉你的朋友这些事)”提到要告诉朋友一些事情,其中的“these things”指代前面提到的有关“they are smart, strong, and beautiful”的事情,而告诉朋友这些事情能帮助她建立自信和自尊,与下文构成因果关系。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据主题句Try out new things together.(一起尝试新事物)和空后的“If you want your friends to be happy, encourage them to try new things with you.(如果你想让你的朋友开心,鼓励他们和你一起尝试新事物。)”判断,本段建议和朋友一起尝试新事物,因此空格处应该提到新事物,D项“In turn, discover new things you love(反过来,发现你喜欢的新事物)”提到要发现新事物,其中的“new things”和空后的“new things”相一致,因此D选项符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据空前的主题句“Bring her one of her favorite treats.(给她带一个她最喜欢的食物。)”与空后一句“Maybe she can’t live without an afternoon coffee, or maybe she has a special love for black forest cake.(也许她离不开下午的咖啡,也许她对黑森林蛋糕情有独钟。)”判断,本段建议给朋友带一些她最喜欢的美食,故C项“You know what your friend likes(你知道你朋友喜欢什么)”说到了你知道朋友喜欢什么,承上启下,呼应主题,引出下文朋友可能喜欢的食物。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国灯笼文化。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在元宵节和中秋节欣赏灯笼的魅力是一种习俗。“It is +形容词+ to do sth.”为常用句型,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式,所以此处用to admire。故填to admire。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意:在这样的场合,全国各地都会举办灯展。“on... occasions”为固定搭配,意为“在……场合”,所以此处填on。故填on。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在中国东北,灯会在冰雪上举行,在那里冰雕营造出一个光与色的童话世界。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“Northeast China”,表示地点,在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导该定语从句。故填where。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:提到中国灯笼,就不能不提到四川省的一座城市——自贡,它常被称为“灯城”。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词“would not be”,describe需用非谓语形式。describe与逻辑主语“Zigong”之间是被动关系,即“自贡被称为”,所以用过去分词described作后置定语。故填described。
【60题详解】
考查动词语态和时态。句意:大多数中国灯笼是用金属丝结构和织物覆盖物制作而成的。此处描述客观事实,用一般现在时。“Most Chinese lanterns”与“make”之间是被动关系,即“灯笼被制作”,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”,主语“Most Chinese lanterns”是复数,所以用are made。故填are made。
【61题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:为了增添其美感,自贡的工匠们还使用各种材料,如丝绸、纸张、竹子甚至瓷器。“varieties of...”为固定短语,意为“各种各样的……”,所以此处用varieties。故填varieties。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:灯笼制作现在是当地经济的一个驱动力。根据空前的“Lantern”及空后的“is”可知,此处应用名词production作主语,意为“生产,制作”,不可数。故填production。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:自贡工匠们的巧手还将这一国家级非物质文化遗产带到了国外,在全球70多个国家和地区的灯展上展示色彩的奇妙与欢乐。此处修饰名词“intangible heritage”,应用形容词national,意为“国家的,国家级的”。故填national。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:自贡工匠们的巧手还将这一国家级非物质文化遗产带到了国外,在全球70多个国家和地区的灯展上展示色彩的奇妙与欢乐。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词“have taken”,present需用非谓语形式。present与逻辑主语“The clever hands of Zigong craftsmen”之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词presenting作伴随状语。故填presenting。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:自贡灯笼现在是它们家乡和祖国的一张名片。“name card”为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指“一张名片”,且“name”是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

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。
My family always had various animals around. To my great annoyance, I never had one that truly belonged to me. I couldn’t count how many times that I begged them for buying or adopting one for me. My parents, ultimately, compromised and permitted me to keep my own until I was nine years old.
The day that I had longed for finally arrived. So thrilled was I that an increasing sense of excitement stuffed my heart. Knowing my parents brought a fish back home, which I would like to call it Mark, I offered to undertake the responsibility to look after it without hesitation.
Every Saturday, it’s a routine to clean out his bowl. Cleaning which seemed impossible for me to shoulder, turned into something that I was desperate for and enjoyed. I found myself unconsciously turning down invitations from my friends to go somewhere immediately after school, because what I was concerned was to dash home to feed my fish first. Every day he would remind me that I was needed and that I had someone relying on me. Whenever I looked at him and appreciated his swimming freely, my heart was filled with joy and enjoyment.
One day, I came home from school and headed to my room to feed Mark. I found a terrible thing had happened without any sign. I dropped my bag and ran over to the bowl. I held my breath, not daring make a sound. Panic took hold of me. I saw my best friend Mark floating around, lifeless. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, rooted to the spot.
注意:
1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At the very moment, my mom walked into my room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After a while, I suddenly realized that Mark hadn’t just left me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 At the very moment, my mom walked into my room. I turned around as tears started to well in my eyes. “Mommy, Mark died!” With that last word I started crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down my face like a flood. Trying to provide some comfort, she stepped close and threw her arms around me tightly, whispering soothing words and hoping to ease my pain. Then she added, “Sometimes we should be open to a different perspective.” It was those words that touched a string in my heart and drew my attention back to the right track. Lost in thought, I tried to make out what Mark’s companionship meant to me.
After a while, I suddenly realized that Mark hadn’t just left me. He had taught me what responsibility meant, which I learned through feeding him and cleaning his bowl. To my nine-year-old self, this was a great achievement that I would value for a lifelong time. Slowly, a smile crossed my face. Even though Mark was gone, the lessons he taught me would forever be carved into my memory. Not only had Mark given me companionship, but also taught me about responsibility, love, loss and the importance of cherishing every moment.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者九岁时与宠物鱼Mark的短暂陪伴经历,细腻刻画了孩童对生命责任的初识、失去伙伴的悲痛以及从中领悟的成长真谛。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在这时,妈妈走进了我的房间。”以及第二段首句内容“过了一会儿,我突然意识到,Mark不只是离开了我。”可知,第一段可描写作者看到妈妈后难掩悲痛,妈妈安慰作者应该从不同的视角看待问题。

Four Treasures of the Study
Brushes
The brush, made from animal hair, is the tool bringing life to the paper. From delicate lines to bold brushstrokes, the brush is the medium through which the artist’s emotions and techniques flow onto the paper, creating elegant works of art. The most famous brush, the “Huzhou Brush”, is produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province.
Ink
Traditional Chinese ink comes in solid sticks. To produce liquid ink, one grinds(磨)the inkstick against an inkstone with water. The act of grinding symbolizes patience and dedication highly valued in Chinese culture. High-quality ink, originally black but now available in various colors, is most famously produced in Huizhou, Anhui Province.
Paper
Chinese paper, especially the ancient rice paper, made from sandalwood bark and rice straw, absorbs ink smoothly without bleeding. The paper serves as a canvas for not only artistic efforts but also documentation, making it a vital component in the preservation of history and culture. “Xuan Paper”, the best paper for writing, is made in Xuanzhou, Anhui Province.
Inkstones
Inkstones, used for grinding ink, were originally simple pottery tools. Later, they became artistic objects carved from stone that reflect the taste and status of their owners. The choice of inkstone is crucial as it can affect the quality and texture of the ink, further enhancing the artistic expression in calligraphy and painting. The most famous inkstone, “Duan Inkstone”, is produced in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province.
With these treasures, Chinese people created unique styles of calligraphy and painting, establishing a distinctive expression system. Today, they continue to inspire artists worldwide, bridging tradition and modernity.
21. Why is grinding ink considered meaningful in Chinese culture?

C. “Xuan Paper” is the best paper for writing. D. Inkstones were originally carved objects.
23. Which column in a paper might the passage come from?
A. Technology. B. Travel. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture.

Speeding up and flying over a car while switching hands with a between-the-legs movement to throw the ball home, Chen Dengxing, aged 39 and standing 1.76 meters tall, made history by becoming the first athlete from China to win the dunk (扣篮) contest of the world’s biggest streetball competition in 2025.
Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice.
The turning point of his life came in 2011 at an amateur dunk contest, where Cha Tianyi, founder of China’s dunk team told him, “With your bounce and explosiveness, you don’t belong behind a bank counter.” Cha’s encouragement and guidance set him on the path to becoming a professional dunker.
To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully. Erom the pace of the approach steps to the power of the takeoff, he analyzed every detail with precision — leaving no movement unexplored. He spent about four hours in training every day — two hours of strength training and two hours of dunk practice. Even when he was out attending other events, he carried a basketball and practiced.
Now Chen has founded a dunk park which has quickly attracted many visitors who are eager to learn from him or simply witness his high-flying skills firsthand. “I will pass on my training methods and competition experience, so that the younger athletes can progress faster. My goal is to make more promising dunkers and help them step onto the international stage,” Chen said.
24. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Chen’s great achievement. B. The rules of the dunk contest.
C. Chen’s physical appearance. D. The history of the dunk contest.
25. What does Chen’s career shift show?

A. Generous and sincere. B. Focused and devoted.
C. Determined and brave. D. Patient and ambitious.
27. Why did Chen set up a dunk park?
A. To select coaches. B. To attract visitors.
C. To support dunkers. D. To meet followers.

A series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space.
People of many fire-prone(容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wildfire smoke so dangerous.
When organic matter like trees burns, it releases CO2, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles(颗粒). Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they’re smaller than 2.5 micrometres in diameter(直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It’s also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body.
When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned. Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas.
What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation(辐射) can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse.
28. What is the main topic of the text?
A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact.
C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke.
29. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous?
A. It enters the lungs. B. It travels far. C. It’s larger in size. D. It’s only from fires.
30. What is a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires?
A. Urban fires affect more trees. B. Urban fires burn less material.
C. Urban fires release more pollutants. D. Urban fires produce less smoke.
31. What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight?
A. It changes colour. B. It forms other pollutants.
C. It quickly disappears. D. It becomes harmless.
D
Increasing evidence suggests that sitting down too much can put our health at risk. According to the NHS, being inactive is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, some forms of cancer, and early death. Therefore, the NHS advises people to “move more, sit less”. But how often and for how long should we get up and move?
Now, researchers based at Columbia University, New York, have an answer: taking a five-minute walking break every half an hour can offset some of the harmful effects of sitting for long periods. The team had a group of 11 participants sit in ergonomic chairs for an eight-hour stretch, getting up only for bathroom breaks or their scheduled walk on a treadmill. The exercise periods tested were one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute every 60 minutes, five minutes every 30 minutes, five minutes every 60 minutes, and no walking at all.
While sitting, the participants could use their phones or laptops, or read, and were given regular meals. Their blood pressure and blood sugar were checked regularly throughout the study.
The researchers found that any amount of walking reduced blood pressure by 4-5mmHg compared to sitting all day — a significant reduction, as ideal blood pressure is usually considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
Additionally, walking for five minutes every 30 minutes reduced blood sugar spikes (猛增) after meals by more than 50 percent. Walking for one minute every 30 minutes also led to a small reduction in blood sugar spikes. Walking every 60 minutes, whether for one minute or five, had no effect.
“What we know now is that for optimal health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine,” said Diaz. “While that may sound impractical, our findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the workday can significantly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses.”
32. Why is the NHS mentioned in the text?
A. To suggest disease prevention methods.
B. To stress the seriousness of inactivity.
C. To compare international health data.
D. To explain its own research findings.
33. What were the participants required to do during the study?
A. Stand up according to a fixed schedule.
B. Take breaks freely when needed.
C. Keep moving slowly while sitting.
D. Avoid using phones or computers.
34. Which walking pattern best controlled blood sugar after meals?
A. Walking for one minute every 60 minutes.
B. Walking for five minutes every 60 minutes.
C. Walking for one minute every 30 minutes.
D. Walking for five minutes every 30 minutes.
35. What does Diaz’s statement imply?
A. Long workouts prevent chronic diseases.
B. Daily exercise forms the basis of good health.
C. Movement during work is vital for health.
D. Prolonged sitting is unavoidably harmful.

My family always had various animals around. To my great annoyance, I never had one that truly belonged to me. I couldn’t count how many times that I begged them for buying or adopting one for me. My parents, ultimately, compromised and permitted me to keep my own until I was nine years old.
The day that I had longed for finally arrived. So thrilled was I that an increasing sense of excitement stuffed my heart. Knowing my parents brought a fish back home, which I would like to call it Mark, I offered to undertake the responsibility to look after it without hesitation.
Every Saturday, it’s a routine to clean out his bowl. Cleaning which seemed impossible for me to shoulder, turned into something that I was desperate for and enjoyed. I found myself unconsciously turning down invitations from my friends to go somewhere immediately after school, because what I was concerned was to dash home to feed my fish first. Every day he would remind me that I was needed and that I had someone relying on me. Whenever I looked at him and appreciated his swimming freely, my heart was filled with joy and enjoyment.
One day, I came home from school and headed to my room to feed Mark. I found a terrible thing had happened without any sign. I dropped my bag and ran over to the bowl. I held my breath, not daring make a sound. Panic took hold of me. I saw my best friend Mark floating around, lifeless. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, rooted to the spot.
注意:
1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At the very moment, my mom walked into my room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
