Active Campus, Healthy Future
To enrich our school life and improve students’ physical health, our school has organized many sports events recently, including ball games, running races and team sports. These activities, which are held regularly after class, have attracted many participants.
Most students take an active part in them. They have grown energetic, and can concentrate better in class. Students praise these events. They think sports not only build up their bodies but also help them relax from heavy study pressure. Besides, team sports improve their cooperation and friendship.
We believe an active campus will lead us to a healthier and brighter future.

It was four weeks before New Year, and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community. The concept was great, but none of us seventeen-year-olds had any idea what to do.
“Maybe we could have a food drive to help the homeless,” John suggested at our Sunday night meeting. “But we have done that many times”, answered Brian with a frown.
Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally I decided to speak. “Why don’t we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on?” Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding.
I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year, but I had no clue what we should do. During the following week, one idea after another ran through my mind, but I was still indecisive.
Thursday after school, I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner. Sensing my uneasiness, he asked what troubled me without even looking up. “Well... it...” I let out a long breath. “Our youth group wants to do something for New Year, but we don’t know what to do...”
“Hmm.” My dad thought out loud. “There’s a seniors’ home I’ve worked with close to St. Joseph’s Hospital. The residents don’t get out much around New Year with the snow and ice. It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.”
I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacular(绚丽的)New Year light displays in our neighborhood. To be honest, I never thought about that, but it might just work.

【答案】One possible version:
Next Sunday evening, our youth group met. My fellows put forward several suggestions and I also contributed Dad’s idea for discussion. To my pleasant surprise, the New Year lights tour won their hearts. We called the seniors’ home and they were thrilled about our proposal. The following weeks, we were busy lining up everything for the tour, including the bus to drive the seniors along the planned route.
On New Year’s Day, the bus we rented arrived at the seniors’ home in the snow. Despite the cold, the snow added a magical white blanket to the neighborhood. All residents slowly found seats on the bus and the tour began. The spectacular light displays lit up their faces and I even saw some eyes filling up. Returning to the seniors’ home, they couldn’t stop talking about all they’d seen and thanked us again and again. Looking at their excited and grateful faces, we’d never felt warmer.

On the morning of April 20th,I woke up in a panic ()thinking it was 6 am,but in reality,it was
still 3 am.I had a vivid dream where I had overslept.This kind of dream often occurred before important
events.Even though I knew I was well-prepared,I couldn't shake off the worry.After a restless sleep filled
with more anxious dreams,my alarm finally went off.
I met my friend Jenny and we took an Uber to the race site.The first half marathon was unknown to us.
The race began,and we navigated (through a lush forest.We celebrated each mile,but after some
tough uphill sections,I began to worry about making it through.As we approached the halfway point,we
were cheered on by other runners,which encouraged us further.The downhill journey back was amazing,
and we cruised through the second half,deciding to hold hands and cross the finish line together.To our
surprise,we won our age and gender group!
After the race,we were overjoyed but faced a minor problem-no cellphone service to call an Uber
back.Luckily,we met Lisa,Amy,and Robin,fellow runners who offered us a ride.During the car ride,we
shared stories about running and life.They inspired me with their passion for running and traveling the
world.I loved how running was a universal language that connected people with shared goals of being
outdoors and meeting new people.Their attitudes showed me that adulthood could be full of surprises and
joy.
The half marathon has taught me that the best experiences do not come from the familiar and safe.I've
realized that I'll be able to overcome many other unknown challenges of adulthood.I don't know what they
are yet,but my new friends have shown me that adulthood has many beautiful surprises waiting.I can't wait
to see what the next 13.1miles of life will bring.

Since Born to Run,a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico,was published in 2009,
walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world,again.Over the years,a growing number of
studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength,improve balance and reduce risk of
falls.
A recent study,which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear,has even found that our
shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet."For example,most shoes
have a quite narrow toe box,"it writes."It means our toes are pressed together and we can't use our feet
naturally.This may contribute to poor balance and even arch collapse(扁平足)over time..”
While those studies about the barefoot movement are promising,don't throw out all of the shoes just yet,
warn other researchers.They argue that switching()to barefoot walking too quickly can be a recipe for
injuries since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength.Plus,our feet are now very
sensitive to anything but smooth,soft ground.
"That's like having your arm in a cast()for years,"says John Mercer,professor at the University
of Nevada."Then take it off,and the first thing you do is go out and play a game of tennis."
Instead,Mercer recommends starting slow."First,try walking around the house and outside on a soft
surface.Then,go for a short walk around the block.Add a bit more distance each week,"he suggests."Your
feet will tell you when you've had enough.If you experience any sharp pain,stop."
28.What does the new study most probably aim to do?
A.Show the benefits of barefoot walking.
B.Warn the risk of walking without shoes.
C.Provide guidelines for barefoot walkers.
D.Study the problems of modern footwear.
29.Which of the following can replace the underlined words "be a recipe for"in paragraph 3?
A.Lead to.
B.Keep track of.
C.Take advantage of.D.Get through.
30.What does John Mercer mean?
A.We can protect our feet with a cast.
B.We must toughen up our feet gradually.
C.We should go for other exercises first.
D.We have to do warm-up exercises each time.
31.In which section of a newspaper will this text most probably appear?
A.Literature.
B.Technology.
C.Sports.
D.Environment.

An experiment which saw salad seeds sent into space has given hope for the future of growing food on
another planet,according to a recently-published study.
The findings have appeared after two kilograms of seeds spent six months on board the International
Space Station(ISS)with the astronaut,Tim Peake,as part of his Principia mission.
There,the seeds could have absorbed up to 100 times more radiation (than on Earth while being
influenced by the violent shaking from the stresses of space travel.
When the seeds returned to Earth in 2016,600,000 children from schools across Britain took part in an
experiment,supported by the UK Space Agency,to plant them and monitor their growth,comparing it to
that of seeds that had remained on Earth.
第4页共8页
The results showed that,while the space seeds grew more slowly and were more sensitive to ageing,
they were still able to survive.
Peake said,"When humans travel to Mars,they will need to find ways to feed themselves,and this
research helps us understand some of the biology of seed storage and germination (which will be
important for future space missions."
The Royal Horticultural Society(RHS)tasked 8,600 schools and groups across Britain with taking part
in the controlled study and recording their results as a scientist would.
It was part of a project called Rocket Science,led by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening,in
partnership with the UK Space Agency.
RHS manager Alana Cama said,"The Rocket Science experiment opened a window into space biology
and allowed young people to be at the forefront of creative research."
"This research project did more than just inspire,it furthered our understanding of the challenges around
growing plants in unusual environments and the possibility of growing food on long-term space missions in
the future.Inspiring a new generation of botanists and biologists will remain our goal to enrich everyone's
lives through plants."
32.What do the findings of the experiment indicate?
A.Salad seeds sent into space turned out to be a failure.
B.Astronauts successfully grew salad seeds on Mars.
C.The future of growing plants in space looks bright.
D.The radiation makes it impossible for plants to survive.
33.Which word can be filled in the blank to complete the research steps?
the
carry the seeds
bring them back to
make
growing
into space
Earth
comparsons
state
A.Update
B.Observe.
C.Protect.
D.Improve.
34.Unlike those on Earth,the seeds sent into space
A.can grow 100 times larger in size
B.provide enough food for astronauts
C.stop growing when returning to Earth
D.are more likely to show signs of ageing
35.What can we learn from what Alana Cama said?
A.Growing plants in unusual environments is no longer a challenging task.
B.Anew generation of botanists and biologists takes the lead in the research.
C.The project inspires the interests of the young generation in creative fields.
D.The exploration of growing food in space is the central mission in the future.

On the morning of April 20th, I woke up in a panic (恐慌), thinking it was 6 am, but in reality, it was still 3 am. I had a vivid dream where I had overslept. This kind of dream often occurred before important events. Even though I knew I was well-prepared, I couldn’t shake off the worry. After a restless sleep filled with more anxious dreams, my alarm finally went off.
I met my friend Jenny and we took an Uber to the race site. The first half marathon was unknown to us. The race began, and we navigated (穿过) through a lush forest. We celebrated each mile, but after some tough uphill sections, I began to worry about making it through. As we approached the halfway point, we were cheered on by other runners, which encouraged us further. The downhill journey back was amazing, and we cruised through the second half, deciding to hold hands and cross the finish line together. To our surprise, we won our age and gender group!
After the race, we were overjoyed but faced a minor problem — no cellphone service to call an Uber back. Luckily, we met Lisa, Amy, and Robin, fellow runners who offered us a ride. During the car ride, we shared stories about running and life. They inspired me with their passion for running and traveling the world. I loved how running was a universal language that connected people with shared goals of being outdoors and meeting new people. Their attitudes showed me that adulthood could be full of surprises and joy.
The half marathon has taught me that the best experiences do not come from the familiar and safe. I’ve realized that I’ll be able to overcome many other unknown challenges of adulthood. I don’t know what they are yet, but my new friends have shown me that adulthood has many beautiful surprises waiting. I can’t wait to see what the next 13.1miles of life will bring.

A. Her short sleeping time made her panic.
B. She often failed to make full preparations.

C. Impressive but unbearable. D. Smooth but uncomfortable.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Welcome the unknown. B. Better late than never.

This kind of dream often occurred before important events. Even though I knew I was well-prepared, I couldn’t shake off the worry.(4月20日早上,我惊慌地醒来,以为是早上6点,但实际上,还是凌晨3点。我做了一个生动的梦,梦里我睡过头了。这种梦通常发生在重大事件之前。尽管我知道我准备得很充分,但我还是无法摆脱忧虑。)”可知,作者在重要事件前常做关于迟到的噩梦,且无法摆脱担忧,说明她对即将到来的场合容易焦虑。故选D项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“The downhill journey back was amazing(回程的下坡之旅棒极了)”可知,下坡路程感觉棒极了,且两人“hold hands and cross the finish line together(手牵手冲过终点)”,说明后半程跑得轻松顺利。Cruised在此处指“轻松地赛跑,跑得轻松、不费力”。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“During the car ride, we shared stories about running and life. They inspired me with their passion for running and traveling the world. I loved how running was a universal language that connected people with shared goals of being outdoors and meeting new people. (在开车的过程中,我们分享了关于跑步和生活的故事。他们对跑步和环游世界的热情激励着我。我喜欢跑步是一种通用的语言,它将人们与户外运动和结识新朋友的共同目标联系在一起。)”可知,在乘车过程中,作者和朋友们分享了关于跑步和生活的故事,这些跑步爱好者的热情激励了作者,让作者与有共同爱好的人建立联系。因此,这段乘车经历是鼓舞人心且增进人际联系。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I met my friend Jenny and we took an Uber to the race site. The first half marathon was unknown to us.(我遇到了我的朋友珍妮,我们乘优步去了比赛现场。我们对前半程马拉松一无所知。)”以及最后一段的句子“The half marathon has taught me that the best experiences do not come from the familiar and safe. I’ve realized that I’ll be able to overcome many other unknown challenges of adulthood.(半程马拉松教会了我,最好的经历不是来自熟悉和安全的地方。我已经意识到,我将能够克服许多其他未知的成年挑战。)”可知,作者通过这次半程马拉松的经历意识到,最好的体验并不总是来自熟悉和安全的事物,而是能够克服成年生活中许多其他未知的挑战。因此,作者的经历表明我们应该欢迎未知,勇敢地去面对和探索它。故选A项。
C
Since Born to Run, a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico, was published in 2009, walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world, again. Over the years, a growing number of studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength, improve balance and reduce risk of falls.
A recent study, which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear, has even found that our shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet. “For example, most shoes have a quite narrow toe box,” it writes. “It means our toes are pressed together and we can’t use our feet naturally. This may contribute to poor balance and even arch collapse (扁平足) over time.”
While those studies about the barefoot movement are promising, don’t throw out all of the shoes just yet, warn other researchers. They argue that switching (切换) to barefoot walking too quickly can be a recipe for injuries since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength. Plus, our feet are now very sensitive to anything but smooth, soft ground.
“That’s like having your arm in a cast (石膏) for years, ”says John Mercer, professor at the University of Nevada. “Then take it off, and the first thing you do is go out and play a game of tennis.”
Instead, Mercer recommends starting slow. “First, try walking around the house and outside on a soft surface. Then, go for a short walk around the block. Add a bit more distance each week,” he suggests. “Your feet will tell you when you’ve had enough. If you experience any sharp pain, stop.”
28. What does the new study most probably aim to do?
A. Show the benefits of barefoot walking. B. Warn the risk of walking without shoes.
C. Provide guidelines for barefoot walkers. D. Study the problems of modern footwear.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “be a recipe for” in paragraph 3?
A. Lead to. B. Keep track of. C. Take advantage of. D. Get through.
30. What does John Mercer mean?
A. We can protect our feet with a cast. B. We must toughen up our feet gradually.
C. We should go for other exercises first. D. We have to do warm-up exercises each time.
31. In which section of a newspaper will this text most probably appear?
A. Literature. B. Technology. C. Sports. D. Environment.
【答案】28. D29. A30. B31. C
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了《天生就会跑》一书让光脚行走再度流行,研究指出鞋子存在弊端。但专家提醒不可骤然光脚走路,易受伤,建议循序渐进练习。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A recent study, which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear, has even found that our shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet.(最近的一项研究旨在改进现代鞋类的设计,该研究甚至发现我们的鞋子已经影响了我们的行动方式,并且还改变了我们的脚部结构)”可知,这项新研究最有可能旨在研究现代鞋类存在的问题。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength(因为我们的双脚已经适应了鞋子的存在,并且失去了部分力量)”可知,因为我们的双脚已经适应了鞋子的存在,并且失去了部分力量,所以突然光脚走路容易引发受伤,故划线词意思是“导致”。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead, Mercer recommends starting slow. “First, try walking around the house and outside on a soft surface. Then, go for a short walk around the block. Add a bit more distance each week,” he suggests. “Your feet will tell you when you’ve had enough. If you experience any sharp pain, stop.”(相反,梅瑟建议要循序渐进地进行锻炼。“首先,试着在室内和户外的柔软地面上走动。然后,在街区周围走一段短距离。每周增加一点距离。”他建议道。“你的双脚会告诉你何时已经达到了极限。如果感到任何剧烈疼痛,就停止。”)”可知,约翰·默瑟的意思是我们必须逐渐增强脚部的力量。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Since Born to Run, a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico, was published in 2009, walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world, again. Over the years, a growing number of studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength, improve balance and reduce risk of falls.(自2009年出版了《天生就会跑》(一本关于墨西哥长跑赤脚运动员的书籍)以来,赤脚行走这一行为在全球范围内再度流行起来。多年来,越来越多的研究不断表明,赤脚行走能够增强脚部力量、改善平衡能力并降低跌倒的风险)”结合文章围绕走路、脚部健康与运动相关内容展开,可知,这篇文章最有可能出现在报纸的“体育”版块。
D
An experiment which saw salad seeds sent into space has given hope for the future of growing food on another planet, according to a recently-published study.
The findings have appeared after two kilograms of seeds spent six months on board the International Space Station (ISS) with the astronaut, Tim Peake, as part of his Principia mission.
There, the seeds could have absorbed up to 100 times more radiation (辐射) than on Earth while being influenced by the violent shaking from the stresses of space travel.
When the seeds returned to Earth in 2016, 600,000 children from schools across Britain took part in an experiment, supported by the UK Space Agency, to plant them and monitor their growth, comparing it to that of seeds that had remained on Earth.
The results showed that, while the space seeds grew more slowly and were more sensitive to ageing, they were still able to survive.
Peake said, “When humans travel to Mars, they will need to find ways to feed themselves, and this research helps us understand some of the biology of seed storage and germination (发芽) which will be important for future space missions.”
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) tasked 8,600 schools and groups across Britain with taking part in the controlled study and recording their results as a scientist would.
It was part of a project called Rocket Science, led by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, in partnership with the UK Space Agency.
RHS manager Alana Cama said, “The Rocket Science experiment opened a window into space biology and allowed young people to be at the forefront of creative research.”
“This research project did more than just inspire; it furthered our understanding of the challenges around growing plants in unusual environments and the possibility of growing food on long-term space missions in the future. Inspiring a new generation of botanists and biologists will remain our goal to enrich everyone’s lives through plants.”
32. What do the findings of the experiment indicate?
A. Salad seeds sent into space turned out to be a failure.
B. Astronauts successfully grew salad seeds on Mars.
C. The future of growing plants in space looks bright.
D. The radiation makes it impossible for plants to survive.
33. Which word can be filled in the blank to complete the research steps?
carry the seeds into space
→
bring them back to Earth
→
______ the growing state
→
make comparisons
A. Update. B. Observe. C. Protect. D. Improve.
34. Unlike those on Earth, the seeds sent into space ______.
A. can grow 100 times larger in size B. provide enough food for astronauts
C. stop growing when returning to Earth D. are more likely to show signs of ageing
35. What can we learn from what Alana Cama said?
A. Growing plants in unusual environments is no longer a challenging task.
B. A new generation of botanists and biologists takes the lead in the research.
C. The project inspires the interests of the young generation in creative fields.
D. The exploration of growing food in space is the central mission in the future.

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When the seeds returned to Earth in 2016, 600,000 children from schools across Britain took part in an experiment, supported by the UK Space Agency, to plant them and monitor their growth, comparing it to that of seeds that had remained on Earth. (2016年,当这些种子返回地球时,在英国航天局的支持下,英国各地学校的60万名儿童参与了一项实验,他们种植这些种子并监测其生长情况,并将其与留在地球上的种子进行对比)”可推知,研究步骤为:将种子送入太空、将它们带回地球、观察它们的生长状态、然后进行比较,空白处应填入“观察”,以完成研究步骤。故选B。

细节理解题。根据第五段“The results showed that, while the space seeds grew more slowly and were more sensitive to ageing, they were still able to survive. (结果表明,尽管太空种子生长更为缓慢且对老化更加敏感,但它们仍能够存活下来)”可知,与地球上的种子不同,送入太空的种子更有可能出现衰老的迹象。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后两段中Alana Cama的话“The Rocket Science experiment opened a window into space biology and allowed young people to be at the forefront of creative research. (火箭科学实验为太空生物学打开了一扇窗口,让年轻人站在了创造性研究的前沿)”、“This research project did more than just inspire; it furthered our understanding of the challenges around growing plants in unusual environments and the possibility of growing food on long-term space missions in the future. Inspiring a new generation of botanists and biologists will remain our goal to enrich everyone’s lives through plants. (这个研究项目不仅仅是激发灵感;它还加深了我们对在特殊环境中种植植物所面临挑战的理解,以及未来在长期太空任务中种植食物的可能性。激励新一代植物学家和生物学家将始终是我们的目标,我们希望通过植物来丰富每个人的生活)”可推知,从Alana Cama的话中,我们能了解到这个项目会激发年轻一代在具有创造性的领域的兴趣。故选C。

As is known to all, true beauty comes from within, but sometimes it’s not easy to know how to explain it. ____36____
Inner beauty is in the everyday choices you make
When we are faced with small, daily choices such as whether to tell a white lie to avoid trouble, our inner beauty — or the lack thereof (抑或缺乏), comes out. ____37____ Honesty is the real inner beauty. While no one is perfect, inner beauty will show itself in the repeated choices a person makes.
___38____
I’ve known several people who were pretty on the outside, but when they said unkind words, they suddenly looked so ugly! True beauty comes from within and often comes out through your words.
Inner beauty is in how you respond to(应对)mistakes.
When someone makes a mistake and it may annoy you, how will you respond? Inner beauty makes you try to understand and be tolerant. And when you are the one who made a mistake, how will you respond? Will you accept it and move on, giving yourself room to grow? A person with inner beauty doesn’t see mistakes as threats. ___39____
Inner beauty is on the outside.
If you look closely enough, you can see inner beauty from the outside. ____40____ And the truth is that when people get to know you, your inner beauty is all there really is.

【答案】36. E37. C38. A39. G40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了内在美的表现形式以及培养方法。
【36题详解】
上文“As is known to all, true beauty comes from within, but sometimes it’s not easy to know how to explain it. (众所周知,真正的美来自内心,但有时并不容易知道如何解释它。)”和下文主要介绍了了解内在美的方法,E选项中的four things对应下文中的四个段落小标题。E选项“这里有四件事可以帮助你理解内在美。”承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
【3题详解】
根据下文“Honesty is the real inner beauty. While no one is perfect, inner beauty will show itself in the repeated choices a person makes. (诚实才是真正的内在美。虽然没有人是完美的,但内在美会在一个人反复做出的选择中显现出来。)”可知,空格处应提到诚实,进而引出下文中对诚实的解释。故C选“好的选择是基于一颗诚实的心。”符合语境。故选C。
【38题详解】
此空为段落小标题。根据本段内容“I’ve known several people who were pretty on the outside, but when they said unkind words, they suddenly looked so ugly! True beauty comes from within and often comes out through your words. (我认识几个人,他们外表很漂亮,但当他们说不友好的话时,他们突然变得很丑!真正的美来自内心,往往通过你的言语表现出来。内在美在于你对错误的反应。)”可知,说不友好的话会让人看起来丑陋,这说明内在美表现在言谈之中。A选项“内在美就在你的语言里。”概括本段内容,符合语境,适合作为本段的小标题。故选A。
【39题详解】
上文“A person with inner beauty doesn’t see mistakes as threats. (拥有内在美的人不会把错误视为威胁。)”,而 G选项“相反,他或她把它们视为生活的重要组成部分和学习的机会。”承接上文,说明了拥有内在美的人将过失看作生命中不可或缺的一部分,并从中汲取经验教训,符合语境。G项中的he or she和them分别对应上文中的A person with inner beauty和mistakes。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据下文“The opposite is true if you have ugliness on the inside — it will come out in your expression. (反之,如果你内心丑陋——它会在你的表情中表现出来。)”中的The opposite可知,空格处的情况与该句相反,故F选项“当你的心里充满美好的事物时,它就会表现在你的微笑中。”符合语境。故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者回到旧金山的感受,旧金山经历了1906年的地震后重新建设。Mission地区从贫穷的地区发展成了艺术、音乐和美食的中心。下午,作者去了一家当地博物馆,展示了加州的历史变化。晚上,作者去了唐人街选择了一家使用漂亮瓷盘的广东餐馆,品尝了美食。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】

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。
It was four weeks before New Year, and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community. The concept was great, but none of us seventeen-year-olds had any idea what to do.
“Maybe we could have a food drive to help the homeless,” John suggested at our Sunday night meeting. “But we have done that many times”, answered Brian with a frown.
Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally I decided to speak. “Why don’t we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on?” Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding.
I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year, but I had no clue what we should do. During the following week, one idea after another ran through my mind, but I was still indecisive.
Thursday after school, I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner. Sensing my uneasiness, he asked what troubled me without even looking up. “Well... it...” I let out a long breath. “Our youth group wants to do something for New Year, but we don’t know what to do...”
“Hmm.” My dad thought out loud. “There’s a seniors’ home I’ve worked with close to St. Joseph’s Hospital. The residents don’t get out much around New Year with the snow and ice. It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.”
I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacular(绚丽的)New Year light displays in our neighborhood. To be honest, I never thought about that, but it might just work.

【答案】One possible version:
Next Sunday evening, our youth group met. My fellows put forward several suggestions and I also contributed Dad’s idea for discussion. To my pleasant surprise, the New Year lights tour won their hearts. We called the seniors’ home and they were thrilled about our proposal. The following weeks, we were busy lining up everything for the tour, including the bus to drive the seniors along the planned route.
On New Year’s Day, the bus we rented arrived at the seniors’ home in the snow. Despite the cold, the snow added a magical white blanket to the neighborhood. All residents slowly found seats on the bus and the tour began. The spectacular light displays lit up their faces and I even saw some eyes filling up. Returning to the seniors’ home, they couldn’t stop talking about all they’d seen and thanked us again and again. Looking at their excited and grateful faces, we’d never felt warmer.

On the morning of April 20th, I woke up in a panic (恐慌), thinking it was 6 am, but in reality, it was still 3 am. I had a vivid dream where I had overslept. This kind of dream often occurred before important events. Even though I knew I was well-prepared, I couldn’t shake off the worry. After a restless sleep filled with more anxious dreams, my alarm finally went off.
I met my friend Jenny and we took an Uber to the race site. The first half marathon was unknown to us. The race began, and we navigated (穿过) through a lush forest. We celebrated each mile, but after some tough uphill sections, I began to worry about making it through. As we approached the halfway point, we were cheered on by other runners, which encouraged us further. The downhill journey back was amazing, and we cruised through the second half, deciding to hold hands and cross the finish line together. To our surprise, we won our age and gender group!
After the race, we were overjoyed but faced a minor problem — no cellphone service to call an Uber back. Luckily, we met Lisa, Amy, and Robin, fellow runners who offered us a ride. During the car ride, we shared stories about running and life. They inspired me with their passion for running and traveling the world. I loved how running was a universal language that connected people with shared goals of being outdoors and meeting new people. Their attitudes showed me that adulthood could be full of surprises and joy.
The half marathon has taught me that the best experiences do not come from the familiar and safe. I’ve realized that I’ll be able to overcome many other unknown challenges of adulthood. I don’t know what they are yet, but my new friends have shown me that adulthood has many beautiful surprises waiting. I can’t wait to see what the next 13.1miles of life will bring.
24What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?

Since Born to Run, a book about long-distance barefoot runners in Mexico, was published in 2009, walking barefoot has gained popularity around the world, again. Over the years, a growing number of studies continues to show that going barefoot can increase foot strength, improve balance and reduce risk of falls.
A recent study, which focuses on improving the design of modern footwear, has even found that our shoes have affected our movements and even changed the structure of our feet. “For example, most shoes have a quite narrow toe box,” it writes. “It means our toes are pressed together and we can’t use our feet naturally. This may contribute to poor balance and even arch collapse (扁平足) over time.”
While those studies about the barefoot movement are promising, don’t throw out all of the shoes just yet, warn other researchers. They argue that switching (切换) to barefoot walking too quickly can be a recipe for injuries since our feet have adapted to them and have lost some of their strength. Plus, our feet are now very sensitive to anything but smooth, soft ground.
“That’s like having your arm in a cast (石膏) for years, ”says John Mercer, professor at the University of Nevada. “Then take it off, and the first thing you do is go out and play a game of tennis.”
Instead, Mercer recommends starting slow. “First, try walking around the house and outside on a soft surface. Then, go for a short walk around the block. Add a bit more distance each week,” he suggests. “Your feet will tell you when you’ve had enough. If you experience any sharp pain, stop.”
28. What does the new study most probably aim to do?
A. Show the benefits of barefoot walking. B. Warn the risk of walking without shoes.
C. Provide guidelines for barefoot walkers. D. Study the problems of modern footwear.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “be a recipe for” in paragraph 3?
A. Lead to. B. Keep track of. C. Take advantage of. D. Get through.
30. What does John Mercer mean?
A. We can protect our feet with a cast. B. We must toughen up our feet gradually.
C. We should go for other exercises first. D. We have to do warm-up exercises each time.
31. In which section of a newspaper will this text most probably appear?
A. Literature. B. Technology. C. Sports. D. Environment.
D
An experiment which saw salad seeds sent into space has given hope for the future of growing food on another planet, according to a recently-published study.
The findings have appeared after two kilograms of seeds spent six months on board the International Space Station (ISS) with the astronaut, Tim Peake, as part of his Principia mission.
There, the seeds could have absorbed up to 100 times more radiation (辐射) than on Earth while being influenced by the violent shaking from the stresses of space travel.
When the seeds returned to Earth in 2016, 600,000 children from schools across Britain took part in an experiment, supported by the UK Space Agency, to plant them and monitor their growth, comparing it to that of seeds that had remained on Earth.
The results showed that, while the space seeds grew more slowly and were more sensitive to ageing, they were still able to survive.
Peake said, “When humans travel to Mars, they will need to find ways to feed themselves, and this research helps us understand some of the biology of seed storage and germination (发芽) which will be important for future space missions.”
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) tasked 8,600 schools and groups across Britain with taking part in the controlled study and recording their results as a scientist would.
It was part of a project called Rocket Science, led by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, in partnership with the UK Space Agency.
RHS manager Alana Cama said, “The Rocket Science experiment opened a window into space biology and allowed young people to be at the forefront of creative research.”
“This research project did more than just inspire; it furthered our understanding of the challenges around growing plants in unusual environments and the possibility of growing food on long-term space missions in the future. Inspiring a new generation of botanists and biologists will remain our goal to enrich everyone’s lives through plants.”
32. What do the findings of the experiment indicate?
A. Salad seeds sent into space turned out to be a failure.
B. Astronauts successfully grew salad seeds on Mars.
C. The future of growing plants in space looks bright.
D. The radiation makes it impossible for plants to survive.
33. Which word can be filled in the blank to complete the research steps?
carry the seeds into space
→
bring them back to Earth
→
______ the growing state
→
make comparisons
A. Update. B. Observe. C. Protect. D. Improve.
34. Unlike those on Earth, the seeds sent into space ______.
A. can grow 100 times larger in size B. provide enough food for astronauts
C. stop growing when returning to Earth D. are more likely to show signs of ageing
35. What can we learn from what Alana Cama said?
A. Growing plants in unusual environments is no longer a challenging task.
B. A new generation of botanists and biologists takes the lead in the research.
C. The project inspires the interests of the young generation in creative fields.
D. The exploration of growing food in space is the central mission in the future.

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。
It was four weeks before New Year, and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community. The concept was great, but none of us seventeen-year-olds had any idea what to do.
“Maybe we could have a food drive to help the homeless,” John suggested at our Sunday night meeting. “But we have done that many times”, answered Brian with a frown.
Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally I decided to speak. “Why don’t we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on?” Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding.
I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year, but I had no clue what we should do. During the following week, one idea after another ran through my mind, but I was still indecisive.
Thursday after school, I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner. Sensing my uneasiness, he asked what troubled me without even looking up. “Well... it...” I let out a long breath. “Our youth group wants to do something for New Year, but we don’t know what to do...”
“Hmm.” My dad thought out loud. “There’s a seniors’ home I’ve worked with close to St. Joseph’s Hospital. The residents don’t get out much around New Year with the snow and ice. It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.”
I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacular(绚丽的)New Year light displays in our neighborhood. To be honest, I never thought about that, but it might just work.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为130左右:
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Next Sunday evening, our youth group met.
