Embark on an exhilarating expedition across the ancient trade routes, commencing your 5-day odyssey from the heart of China to the vibrant lands of Central Asia.
Day 1 in Turpan, China: Commence your journey in the oasis city of Turpan, where you will delve into the intricate Karez Well System — a testament to the ingenuity of ancient irrigation techniques that persist in their operational capacity to this day. As the sun sets on your inaugural day, retreat to the tranquility of a family-owned vineyard, where you can meander through the verdant vineyards, engaging in conversations with the hospitable locals to gain insights into their customary way of life.
Day 2 in Urumqi, China: With the first light of dawn, set forth from Turpan to the bustling metropolis of Urumqi, the political epicenter of Xinjiang. Post a nourishing breakfast, immerse yourself in the cultural tapestry of the Xinjiang Museum, a treasure trove of diverse artworks, meticulously crafted handiworks, and historical artifacts.

“Musab. I’m sending New Year greetings from the peak of the world!” This heartfelt message from a Tibetan friend reminded me of my unforgettable cultural journey to Xizang in 2024.
My fascination began at Minzu University, where vibrant Tibetan dances every Friday night showcased the region’s cultural beauty. Students in traditional attire (服饰) led the dance, their energy uniting participants from diverse backgrounds. These moments sparked my dream to dance atop the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
This dream came true through a university-organized trip. Arriving in Lhasa, I initially struggled with the 3,000-meter altitude but was deeply moved by the locals’ warmth, which outweighed any physical discomfort. Their warmth made meaningful connections between us.
The journey showed Tibet’s rich culture through iconic sites like Potala Palace and bustling Barkhor Street. Tasting butter tea for the first time was amazing, offering new insight into Tibetan traditions. In Nudu Village, the head shared his vision for improving residents’ livelihoods, highlighting regional progress.
On my final night, I joined a Tibetan dance circle under the stars, drinking butter tea with new friends. This full-circle moment mirrored the dances back at university, fulfilling my dream while proving that human connections — not just landscapes — make travels truly special.
24. What initially inspired the author’s interest in Tibetan culture?
A. A New Year message. B. Stories about butter tea.
C. University dance gatherings. D. Pictures of Potala Palace.
25. How did the author describe the Tibetan people’s warmth?
A. By focusing on medical assistance. B. By showing their dance instructions.
C. By mentioning university friendships. D. By comparing it with altitude challenges.
26. Which experience gave the author new understanding of Tibetan culture?
A. Tasting butter tea. B. Climbing mountains.
C. Visiting Nudu Village. D. Meeting the trip organizers.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Overcoming Altitude Sickness: My Memorable Trip to Lhasa
B. Butter Tea and Starry Nights: The Culinary Wonders of Tibet
C. Experiencing Tibetan Traditions: Exploring Potala Palace and Barkhor Street
D. A Cultural Journey to Tibet: From University Dances to Cultural Connections
C
At I’Brindellone, a restaurant in Florence, a dozen men and women gather around a long wooden table, deep in conversation about Sarah Winman’s Still Life. On the walls hang photographs of the city’s 1966 flood, when the River Arno burst its banks. The group point at the images excitedly. Winman once dined here, saw these same photos, and found the seed of her story. This literary circle of strangers is on a reading retreat — part of an evolving wave of holidays that put reading center stage. As a guide, I often witness scenes like this — moments when literature pours life into stone streets, and strangers become companions through shared stories.
Not long ago, travel often meant racing through a checklist of famous sites. I watched tourists rush past in steady streams, capturing monuments with their cameras but rarely with their hearts. Many said they wanted to truly understand Florence — to talk about its culture in Piazza della Signoria or reflect on its history along the Arno — yet their tight schedules left little room for such depth.
Recently, however, I’ve noticed a change. More travelers now look for connection — with places, with ideas, and with the authors they love — rather than simple checklist completion. One guest told me, “Travel is a time to invest in ourselves, not just rest. Walking the streets, seeing the landscapes and feeling the atmosphere of a novel’s setting deepens my understanding of the story. A scene that was once only words on a page suddenly comes alive when I stand in the same light as the characters.”
As Jeanette Winterson beautifully wrote, “Books are like doors; when one opens, a new world waits.” The best journeys, I have learned, can transform not only the path we walk, but also the eyes with which we see.
28. Why does the author mention the scene at I’Brindellone?
A. To introduce a popular novel. B. To illustrate a new travel trend.
C. To show the history of Florence. D. To recommend a local restaurant.
29. What can we learn about traditional tourism?
A. It stimulates architectural interests. B. It discourages visitors’ capturing monuments.
C. It promotes the benefits of slow travel. D. It undervalues cultural explorations.
30. What does the guest’s description reveal in paragraph 3?
A. Place serves as a medium that activates textual meaning.
B. Text provides a framework for understanding place.
C. Place and text are independent of each other.
D. Text loses its meaning without physical reference.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards reading retreats?
A. Objective. B. Dismissive. C. Skeptical. D. Favorable.
D
From their doorstep in Altadena, California, Colleen and Jason Warnesky watched in 2009 as the Station Fire swept through the Angeles National Forest, flames bright against the distant mountains. Eleven years later, standing on the same spot, they witnessed the Bobcat Fire, one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County’s history. Both times, their home survived.
So when the Eaton Fire broke out just three miles away in January 2025, the couple felt certain their house would be safe once again. “We couldn’t imagine how the fire would even reach us,” Colleen recalled. But this time, their luck ran out. Their 1,400-square-foot home was burned to the ground. There they were, pacing around the fenced empty lot where their home once stood, waiting for building permits to finally start reconstruction.
After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). They have joined a growing number of local families choosing this type of home through a program developed by city-LAB at UCLA. The program offers fire-resistant prefab designs tailored for wildfire-prone areas, and guides homeowners through financing and practical rebuilding solutions.
For the Warneskys, safety comes first. Their planned new home, built with glass, steel and concrete, is specially designed for regions near wildland vegetation (植被). Jason shared bittersweet memories of their old home, a simple post-war house with a beloved redwood platform. “I suspect that platform was one of the first things to catch fire,” he said. “We won’t make that mistake again.”
The wildfires reshaping the Warneskys’ neighborhood are part of a larger trend across the nation. As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. Prefabricated homes, built in novel ways to withstand extreme conditions, promise peace of mind — and for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes.
32. What can we learn about the Warneskys’ home?
A. It had been rebuilt for three times.
B. It was built with fire-resistant materials.
C. It was ruined in the third serious wildfire.
D. It was specially designed to watch wildfires.
33. Jason Warnesky mentions the redwood platform in paragraph 4 to ______.
A. highlight their priority on safety
B. criticize unsafe material choices
C. recall meaningful past moments
D. compare old and new housing styles
34. What is the emotional impact of the incident on the local families?
A. It helps them stay strong and encourages innovation.
B. It motivates better connection with their community.
C. It gives them greater understanding of the climate change.
D. It triggers reflection on their previous homebuilding methods.
35. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Climate Change Draws Communities Apart
B. Prefab Houses Rebuild Hope in Fire-stricken Areas
C. Charity Program Helps Fire Victims Rebuild Homes
D. Smarter Housing Puts an End to Traditional Construction

四、语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our ‘to do’ list. So maybe it would help if there was ‘a best time’ to exercise? Could exercising at certain times help ____56____ (maximum) our fitness goals? The answer is ‘yes’, but it’s easier than you think, no matter who you are or when you like to work out.
There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning. Many of us have more free time compared to ____57____ (late) in the day and it may therefore be easier for us to stick ____58____ a morning workout routine. A study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that ____59____ (participate) who exercised in the morning, increased the physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could also burn more fat and increase metabolism, which ____60____ (mean) you’ll continue to burn calories throughout the day. So good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ____61____. For example, your body’s ability ____62____ (perform) peaks in the afternoon, according to a 2010 study by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is ____63____ (quick) and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest, ____64____ reduce your chance of injury while improving performance.
But does any of this change _____65_____ (depend) on whether you’re a man or a woman? Our bodies are different after all, so the best time to exercise may be different too. A 2020 study from Skidmore College, New York, looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences. Want to reduce your blood pressure and you’re a woman? Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. But, ultimately, the study found that there are clear benefits for both sexes to exercising at either time of day. So what time is best? It seems the answer is : whatever time is best for you!

Bloom at Your Own Pace
Exam papers were handed out one after another and landed quietly on every desk. Staring at the red scores on my paper, I knew I failed to get the top rank. Low whispers spread around me as the teacher read out everyone’s rankings slowly. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I felt my dream of entering my ideal university gradually run away.
I had long been pushing myself hard just to achieve high rankings. I rose early in the morning and stayed up late studying every day, arranging all my time tightly for different school subjects. I once firmly believed that taking first place constantly would prepare me for a better future. This belief once motivated me greatly, yet endless pressure soon tired me out. I often felt eye discomfort and mental tiredness, and the top position always seemed impossible to reach.
Feeling low, I left the classroom alone. The air was fresh with the smell of rain. I stopped at a quiet little garden beside the library, which I had never taken time to visit before.
An elderly gardener was busy tending flowers and watering plants with great care. Only a handful of flowers were in bloom (开花) among green leaves. I couldn’t help questioning whether all his efforts were worthwhile.
Sensing my confusion, the old man smiled and began to chat with me. He told me that every flower has its own flowering time. Some blossom early, while others need more time to grow. As long as they get enough sunshine, water and proper care, they will surely bloom perfectly when the right time comes. Instead of rushing for results, we should learn to wait patiently and focus on steady (稳步的) growth.
注意:(1) 词数应为150个左右;(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Not sure when they flower — isn’t it upsetting?” I asked.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, I decided to follow his advice — less hurrying, more growing.

Subsequently, venture to the Jayma Bazaar, the most expansive marketplace in Central Asia, whose origins are rooted in the bygone era of the Silk Road. Should your interest lie in the silken threads of history, inquire of your guide to lead you to the Yodgorlik Silk Factory, a sanctuary where the age-old manual silk-making process is preserved.
Day 5 in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan: Conclude your journey with a serene morning train excursion, culminating in your arrival at Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. Dedicate the day to the exploration of the Parthian Fortresses of Nisa, a pivotal city from the Parthian Empire's early annals.

“Musab. I’m sending New Year greetings from the peak of the world!” This heartfelt message from a Tibetan friend reminded me of my unforgettable cultural journey to Xizang in 2024.
My fascination began at Minzu University, where vibrant Tibetan dances every Friday night showcased the region’s cultural beauty. Students in traditional attire (服饰) led the dance, their energy uniting participants from diverse backgrounds. These moments sparked my dream to dance atop the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
This dream came true through a university-organized trip. Arriving in Lhasa, I initially struggled with the 3,000-meter altitude but was deeply moved by the locals’ warmth, which outweighed any physical discomfort. Their warmth made meaningful connections between us.
The journey showed Tibet’s rich culture through iconic sites like Potala Palace and bustling Barkhor Street. Tasting butter tea for the first time was amazing, offering new insight into Tibetan traditions. In Nudu Village, the head shared his vision for improving residents’ livelihoods, highlighting regional progress.
On my final night, I joined a Tibetan dance circle under the stars, drinking butter tea with new friends. This full-circle moment mirrored the dances back at university, fulfilling my dream while proving that human connections — not just landscapes — make travels truly special.

(这个圆满的时刻映照了大学时的舞蹈,实现了我的梦想,同时证明了真正让旅行变得特别的不仅仅是风景,还有人与人之间的联系。)”可知,文章主要讲述了从大学舞蹈到文化联系的文化之旅,所以“西藏文化之旅:从大学舞蹈到文化交流”适合作为文章标题。
C
At I’Brindellone, a restaurant in Florence, a dozen men and women gather around a long wooden table, deep in conversation about Sarah Winman’s Still Life. On the walls hang photographs of the city’s 1966 flood, when the River Arno burst its banks. The group point at the images excitedly. Winman once dined here, saw these same photos, and found the seed of her story. This literary circle of strangers is on a reading retreat — part of an evolving wave of holidays that put reading center stage. As a guide, I often witness scenes like this — moments when literature pours life into stone streets, and strangers become companions through shared stories.
Not long ago, travel often meant racing through a checklist of famous sites. I watched tourists rush past in steady streams, capturing monuments with their cameras but rarely with their hearts. Many said they wanted to truly understand Florence — to talk about its culture in Piazza della Signoria or reflect on its history along the Arno — yet their tight schedules left little room for such depth.
Recently, however, I’ve noticed a change. More travelers now look for connection — with places, with ideas, and with the authors they love — rather than simple checklist completion. One guest told me, “Travel is a time to invest in ourselves, not just rest. Walking the streets, seeing the landscapes and feeling the atmosphere of a novel’s setting deepens my understanding of the story. A scene that was once only words on a page suddenly comes alive when I stand in the same light as the characters.”
As Jeanette Winterson beautifully wrote, “Books are like doors; when one opens, a new world waits.” The best journeys, I have learned, can transform not only the path we walk, but also the eyes with which we see.
28. Why does the author mention the scene at I’Brindellone?
A. To introduce a popular novel. B. To illustrate a new travel trend.
C. To show the history of Florence. D. To recommend a local restaurant.
29. What can we learn about traditional tourism?
A. It stimulates architectural interests. B. It discourages visitors’ capturing monuments.
C. It promotes the benefits of slow travel. D. It undervalues cultural explorations.
30. What does the guest’s description reveal in paragraph 3?
A. Place serves as a medium that activates textual meaning.
B. Text provides a framework for understanding place.
C. Place and text are independent of each other.
D. Text loses its meaning without physical reference.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards reading retreats?
A. Objective. B. Dismissive. C. Skeptical. D. Favorable.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】文章以佛罗伦萨某餐厅的读书聚会为切入点,阐述“以阅读为核心”的新兴旅行趋势,强调旅行者不再单纯打卡景点,而是追求与地方、思想及作家的深度连接。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“This literary circle of strangers is on a reading retreat — part of an evolving wave of holidays that put reading center stage. (这群由陌生人组成的文学圈子正在进行一场阅读静修,这是不断发展的、将阅读置于核心地位的度假新浪潮的一部分。)”可推知,作者提及该场景是为了引出介绍这种新型旅行趋势。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Not long ago, travel often meant racing through a checklist of famous sites. I watched tourists rush past in steady streams, capturing monuments with their cameras but rarely with their hearts. Many said they wanted to truly understand Florence — to talk about its culture in Piazza della Signoria or reflect on its history along the Arno — yet their tight schedules left little room for such depth. (不久之前,旅行通常意味着赶时间完成著名景点的打卡清单。我见过一批又一批游客匆匆路过,用相机拍下古迹,内心却毫无感触。许多游客说他们想要真正了解佛罗伦萨——在领主广场讨论它的文化,沿着阿诺河思索它的历史,但他们紧凑的行程几乎没有留给这种深度探索空间。)”可知,传统旅行以赶景点为主,行程紧凑,低估了文化探索的价值。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Walking the streets, seeing the landscapes and feeling the atmosphere of a novel’s setting deepens my understanding of the story. A scene that was once only words on a page suddenly comes alive when I stand in the same light as the characters. (走在小说背景地的街道上,见识这里的风景、感受这里的氛围,加深了我对故事的理解。当我站在和书中角色相同的光影中时,原本只存在于纸页文字中的场景突然变得鲜活起来。)”可知,亲临小说发生地,书中文字场景变得鲜活,说明实地场景是载体,让文字内容变得生动有实感。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The best journeys, I have learned, can transform not only the path we walk, but also the eyes with which we see. (我发现,最好的旅行不仅能改变我们行走的道路,也能改变我们看待世界的眼光。)”并结合全文可知,作者认可将阅读作为核心的阅读静修旅行,对其持赞成态度。

From their doorstep in Altadena, California, Colleen and Jason Warnesky watched in 2009 as the Station Fire swept through the Angeles National Forest, flames bright against the distant mountains. Eleven years later, standing on the same spot, they witnessed the Bobcat Fire, one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County’s history. Both times, their home survived.
So when the Eaton Fire broke out just three miles away in January 2025, the couple felt certain their house would be safe once again. “We couldn’t imagine how the fire would even reach us,” Colleen recalled. But this time, their luck ran out. Their 1,400-square-foot home was burned to the ground. There they were, pacing around the fenced empty lot where their home once stood, waiting for building permits to finally start reconstruction.
After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). They have joined a growing number of local families choosing this type of home through a program developed by city-LAB at UCLA. The program offers fire-resistant prefab designs tailored for wildfire-prone areas, and guides homeowners through financing and practical rebuilding solutions.
For the Warneskys, safety comes first. Their planned new home, built with glass, steel and concrete, is specially designed for regions near wildland vegetation (植被). Jason shared bittersweet memories of their old home, a simple post-war house with a beloved redwood platform. “I suspect that platform was one of the first things to catch fire,” he said. “We won’t make that mistake again.”
The wildfires reshaping the Warneskys’ neighborhood are part of a larger trend across the nation. As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. Prefabricated homes, built in novel ways to withstand extreme conditions, promise peace of mind — and for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes.
32. What can we learn about the Warneskys’ home?
A. It had been rebuilt for three times.
B. It was built with fire-resistant materials.
C. It was ruined in the third serious wildfire.
D. It was specially designed to watch wildfires.
33. Jason Warnesky mentions the redwood platform in paragraph 4 to ______.
A. highlight their priority on safety
B. criticize unsafe material choices
C. recall meaningful past moments
D. compare old and new housing styles
34. What is the emotional impact of the incident on the local families?
A. It helps them stay strong and encourages innovation.
B. It motivates better connection with their community.
C. It gives them greater understanding of the climate change.
D. It triggers reflection on their previous homebuilding methods.
35. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Climate Change Draws Communities Apart
B. Prefab Houses Rebuild Hope in Fire-stricken Areas
C. Charity Program Helps Fire Victims Rebuild Homes
D. Smarter Housing Puts an End to Traditional Construction
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Warnesky夫妇的家在经历两次山火幸存后,最终在第三次山火中被毁,他们转而选择创新的预制装配式房屋进行重建的故事。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“From their doorstep in Altadena, California, Colleen and Jason Warnesky watched in 2009 as the Station Fire swept through the Angeles National Forest, flames bright against the distant mountains. Eleven years later, standing on the same spot, they witnessed the Bobcat Fire, one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County’s history. Both times, their home survived.(2009年,家住加利福尼亚州阿尔塔迪纳的科琳·沃内斯基和杰森·沃内斯基站在自家门阶上,目睹了 Station Fire山火席卷安吉利斯国家森林,火焰在远山的映衬下格外明亮。十一年后,在同一个地方,他们又亲眼见证了洛杉矶县历史上最大的山火之一—— Bobcat Fire。这两次火灾,他们的家都幸免于难)”和第二段中“So when the Eaton Fire broke out just three miles away in January 2025, the couple felt certain their house would be safe once again....But this time, their luck ran out. Their 1,400-square-foot home was burned to the ground. (因此,当2025年1月伊顿大火在三英里外爆发时,这对夫妇确信他们的房子会再次安全。……但这一次,他们的运气用完了。他们1400平方英尺的家被烧成了平地)”可知,他们的家在第三次严重的山火中被毁。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Jason shared bittersweet memories of their old home, a simple post-war house with a beloved redwood platform. “I suspect that platform was one of the first things to catch fire,” he said. “We won’t make that mistake again.” (Jason分享了对旧居苦乐参半的回忆——那是一座简朴的战后房屋,带有一个他们钟爱的红木平台。“我怀疑那个平台是最先着火的东西之一,”他说。“我们不会再犯同样的错误了。”)”可知,Jason提到红木平台是为了说明他们从中吸取了教训,强调了他们对安全的优先考虑。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). (在对看似无尽的等待感到厌倦之后,Warnesky一家做出了一个关键决定:他们不再使用传统材料重建,而是选择创新的预制装配式房屋)”和最后一段中“As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. Prefabricated homes, built in novel ways to withstand extreme conditions, promise peace of mind — and for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes. (随着气候变化导致更频繁、更严重的自然灾害,越来越多的家庭正转向更智能的住房选择。预制房屋采用新颖的建造方式,能够抵御极端环境,为人们带来安心——对于像沃内斯基一家这样的家庭来说,这更是灰烬之中的新起点)”可知,野火灾难并没有击垮这些家庭,反而促使他们变得更加坚强,主动寻求创新的住房方案,在废墟中重新开始。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一、二段讲述了Warnesky夫妇的家在经历两次山火幸存后,最终在第三次山火中被毁;结合第三段中“After getting tired of the seemingly endless waiting, the Warneskys made a key decision: they would rebuild not with traditional materials, but with innovative prefabricated housing (预制装配式房屋). They have joined a growing number of local families choosing this type of home through a program developed by city-LAB at UCLA. (在对看似无尽的等待感到厌倦之后,Warnesky一家做出了一个关键决定:他们不再使用传统材料重建,而是选择创新的预制装配式房屋。通过加州大学洛杉矶分校城市实验室开发的一个项目,他们已经加入了当地越来越多选择这种房屋的家庭行列)”、最后一段中“As climate change fuels more frequent and severe natural disasters, more families are turning to smarter housing options. (随着气候变化导致自然灾害更加频繁和严重,越来越多的家庭正在转向更智能的住房选择。)”和“for families like the Warneskys, a fresh start amid the ashes (对于像Warnesky这样的家庭来说,这是在灰烬中重新开始)”可推知。全文围绕Warnesky夫妇的家被山火烧毁后选择预制房屋重建的故事展开,并指出越来越多家庭也在效仿。因此,本文最佳标题是“Prefab Houses Rebuild Hope in Fire-stricken Areas (预制房屋在被火灾摧毁的地区重建希望)”。

With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our ‘to do’ list. So maybe it would help if there was ‘a best time’ to exercise? Could exercising at certain times help ____56____ (maximum) our fitness goals? The answer is ‘yes’, but it’s easier than you think, no matter who you are or when you like to work out.
There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning. Many of us have more free time compared to ____57____ (late) in the day and it may therefore be easier for us to stick ____58____ a morning workout routine. A study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that ____59____ (participate) who exercised in the morning, increased the physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could also burn more fat and increase metabolism, which ____60____ (mean) you’ll continue to burn calories throughout the day. So good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ____61____. For example, your body’s ability ____62____ (perform) peaks in the afternoon, according to a 2010 study by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is ____63____ (quick) and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest, ____64____ reduce your chance of injury while improving performance.
But does any of this change _____65_____ (depend) on whether you’re a man or a woman? Our bodies are different after all, so the best time to exercise may be different too. A 2020 study from Skidmore College, New York, looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences. Want to reduce your blood pressure and you’re a woman? Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. But, ultimately, the study found that there are clear benefits for both sexes to exercising at either time of day. So what time is best? It seems the answer is : whatever time is best for you!
【答案】56. maximise##maximize
57. later 58. to
59. participants
60. means 61. ones
62. to perform
63. quickest
64. which 65. depend
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了锻炼的最佳时间,介绍了早晨、下午或晚上锻炼的好处,并指出最佳锻炼时间因人而异。
【56题详解】
考查动词。句意:在特定的时间锻炼能帮助我们达到最大的健身目标吗?根据句意,表示“使增加到最大限度;使最大化”,用动词maximise或者maximize作宾语,help后常用不带to的不定式,即动词原形作宾语。故填maximise/maximize。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:与一天中较晚的时候相比,我们中的许多人有更多的空闲时间,因此对我们来说,坚持早晨的锻炼习惯可能更容易。根据句意,句中比较了人们在一天中“早上”和“晚些时候”的空闲时间,用副词later作时间状语,意为“后来,晚些时候”。故填later。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:与一天中较晚的时候相比,我们中的许多人在早上有更多的空闲时间,因此对我们来说,坚持早晨的锻炼习惯可能更容易。stick to为固定短语,意为“坚持”。故填to。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:发表在《运动与锻炼中的医学与科学》上的一项研究发现,早上锻炼的人全天都会增加体育活动,不那么容易被食物分散注意力,睡得也更好。提示词作宾语从句主语,用名词,根据定语从句“who exercised in the morning”可知,主语是人,用可数名词participate作主语,意为“参与者”,结合系动词were可知,主语用复数形式。故填participants。
【60题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在早餐前空腹锻炼也可以燃烧更多的脂肪,提高新陈代谢,这意味着你将在一整天中继续燃烧卡路里。mean(意味着)作定语从句谓语,陈述客观事实用一般现在时态,主语是关系代词which,指代前面整个句子,谓语动词需用单数形式。故填means。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意:下午或晚上锻炼也有好处,只是好处不同。根据句意,表示“不同的好处”,可用代词one作宾语,指代上文可数名词benefit,结合下文“For example, your body’s ability (perform) peaks in the afternoon”和“Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is (quick) and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest”可知,好处有很多,用复数形式。故填ones。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,根据《斯堪的纳维亚运动医学与科学杂志》2010年的一项研究,你身体的表现能力在下午达到峰值。名词ability后常用动词不定式作后置定语;ability to domsth“做某事的能力”。故填to perform。
【63题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:此外,在下午和晚上,你的反应时间最快,心率和血压最低,这降低了你在提高表现的同时受伤的几率。提示词与最高级形容词lowest并列作表语,表示“最快”,也用最高级形式quickest。故填quickest。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此外,在下午和晚上,你的反应时间更快,心率和血压最低,这降低了你在提高表现的同时受伤的几率。“ reduce your chance of injury while improving performance”是非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,关系词将“你的反应时间更快,心率和血压最低”这一情况代入从句中作主语,用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【65题详解】
考查动词。句意:但这一切是否会因你是男性还是女性而有所改变呢?depend on(依赖于)作谓语,与主语any of this change之间是主动关系,在助动词does后用原形。故填depend。

【答案】
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Learning
In the picture, a student is depicted sitting in front of a computer, utilizing artificial intelligence tools to assist with their studies, while traditional books lie abandoned nearby. This scene vividly portrays the increasing integration of AI into our educational environment.
Personally, I believe that while artificial intelligence can be a valuable aid in learning, it should not replace human learning entirely. AI tools can provide instant answers and personalized learning experiences, which will enhance efficiency and engagement. However, they lack the ability to foster critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence, which are essential skills developed through human interaction and self-directed learning.
Therefore, AI should be used as a supplement rather than a substitute for traditional learning methods, ensuring a balanced and comprehensive educational experience.

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。
Bloom at Your Own Pace
Exam papers were handed out one after another and landed quietly on every desk. Staring at the red scores on my paper, I knew I failed to get the top rank. Low whispers spread around me as the teacher read out everyone’s rankings slowly. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I felt my dream of entering my ideal university gradually run away.
I had long been pushing myself hard just to achieve high rankings. I rose early in the morning and stayed up late studying every day, arranging all my time tightly for different school subjects. I once firmly believed that taking first place constantly would prepare me for a better future. This belief once motivated me greatly, yet endless pressure soon tired me out. I often felt eye discomfort and mental tiredness, and the top position always seemed impossible to reach.
Feeling low, I left the classroom alone. The air was fresh with the smell of rain. I stopped at a quiet little garden beside the library, which I had never taken time to visit before.
An elderly gardener was busy tending flowers and watering plants with great care. Only a handful of flowers were in bloom (开花) among green leaves. I couldn’t help questioning whether all his efforts were worthwhile.
Sensing my confusion, the old man smiled and began to chat with me. He told me that every flower has its own flowering time. Some blossom early, while others need more time to grow. As long as they get enough sunshine, water and proper care, they will surely bloom perfectly when the right time comes. Instead of rushing for results, we should learn to wait patiently and focus on steady (稳步的) growth.
注意:(1) 词数应为150个左右;(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Not sure when they flower — isn’t it upsetting?” I asked.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, I decided to follow his advice — less hurrying, more growing.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
“Not sure when they flower — isn’t it upsetting?” I asked. “It makes every effort meaningful,” he replied calmly. “Flowers develop bit by bit every single day. Blooming is just a brief moment, while the whole process of growing matters far more.” His words sank deep into my heart. I recalled my blue mood over poor grades and those sleepless nights, realizing I was too eager to succeed and cared too much about final results so that I ignored steady progress and the value of effort itself. I thanked the gardener sincerely and left the garden with a peaceful and relaxed mind.
From that day on, I decided to follow his advice — less hurrying, more growing. I adjusted my study state and made solid progress step by step instead of blindly chasing high rankings. When graduation finally arrived, I visited the garden again and saw countless flowers in full bloom. Soon afterwards, I received the admission notice from my target university. I realized I needn’t rush for success. As long as I keep moving forward steadily, I will surely shine in my own proper time.
