B Joss Naylor,known as the "Iron Man"of fell running,was born in 1936 in Wasdale Head,Cumbria.Fell running is a sport of off-trail mountain racing,and Naylor became a symbol of endurance and determination.As a sheep farmer by profession,he became famous for his remarkable physical abilities. In 1971,Naylor became the sixth person to complete the Bob Graham Round,a 24-hour challenge covering 66 miles and 42 peaks in the Lake District.He did better than expected by climbing 61 peaks in just 23 hours and 37 minutes.The following year,he tackled 63 peaks,and in 1975,he reached 72 peaks,all under 24 hours.At age 50 in 1986,he completed the Wainwright Round,which involved climbing 214 peaks in seven days,setting a record that stood until 2014. Naylor's feats were even more impressive considering the physical challenges he faced.Growing up on a farm, he suffered many injuries,starting with a punishment from his mother.At age 19,he had all the cartilage ( removed from one knee,and by 22,he had two discs (removed.Doctors told him to avoid hard exercise and even gave him a special underwear to wear,which he ignored.Instead,he returned to his work as a sheep farmer. In the 1960 Wasdale Fell Race,Naylor hadn't officially entered but joined in wearing his work boots.He quickly took the lead but fell down because of cramps(肌肉抽筋)，finishing last..Despite this,,he kept racing, improving with each race.In 1971,after completing the Bob Graham Round,he set a new record in the National Three Peaks Challenge,climbing the highest peaks in England,Scotland and Wales within 12 hours,a record that still stands. Naylor faced countless injuries over the years,including losing all his toenails and skin on his feet during a two-day race in 1976.He even lost a race in 1970 after being kicked by a cow.However,no amount of pain, whether from injuries or animals,could stop him.His reputation grew,and in June 2024,hundreds of fell runners honored him by running eight miles up the valley near his home to his funeral. 24.What can we conclude about Naylor's early life? A.He was very good at school sports. B.He faced frequent physical injuries. C.He lacked proper running equipment. D.He struggled with farm responsibilities. 25.What can be inferred about Joss Naylor's personality? A.He worried a lot about injuries. B.He gave up easily when he failed. C.He stayed strong and kept going. D.He thought little of tough exercises. 26.Why did Naylor's physical achievements seem extraordinary? A.He competed in several countries. B.He achieved records despite injuries C.He improved alternative medical treatments. D.He was the first to attempt the challenges. 27.What does the 2024 funeral event imply about Naylor? A.He lived far away from his community. B.He pursued recognition from the public. C.He continued competing until his last days. D.He earned runners'respect and admiration. 0 Go to any movie theater or sports venue,and it's obvious there's an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying,and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others.Researches have long backed up this sense of connection,but some aspects of the phenomenon remained unclear.Now,a new study is offering insight. Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science,Victor Chung of the Ecole Normale Superieure in France and his team reported how they examined the matter by inviting strangers to watch videos together in same sex pairs. Pairs of strangers watched three types of videos together:positive,negative,and neutral (with a curtain between them that was either open or closed.At the start of the experiment the researchers asked each participant whether they'd like to meet the other member of their pair again.After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness,and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant. The results showed the emotional films generated stronger responses than the neutral film.Crucially,the team said participants'feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions.However,this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open. The researchers said that whether or not the pairs could see each other had no impact on how positively or negatively they felt about the films. "We found that silently watching emotional films together with another individual is associated with social bonding,even when this person is a stranger and without any verbal communication,"said Chung,the study author. The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions,"even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions."In other words,because emotion bonds us,and humans have a fundamental desire to belong,we're up for experiences one might think we'd naturally want to avoid. 28.What does"the phenomenon"in paragraph I refer to? A.Shared emotions bond people. B.Physical touch helps tackle stress. C.A chance encounter leads to a friendship D.Entertainment is a crucial part of human life 29.How did the researchers get their findings? A.By analyzing participants'emotions. B.By comparing participants'self-reports. C.By documenting participants'video responses. D.By stimulating participants'desire for interaction. 30.The study found that strong bonds were indeed created between pairs only when A.they were familiar with each other B.they watched neutral films together C.they were aware of the presence of each other D.they could see each other while watching the films 31.What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A.An interpretation of the findings. B.Potential implication of the findings. C.Supporting evidence for the findings. D.The underlying logic behind the findings. 0 This might sound impossibly old-fashioned,but I still like the idea that education is about learning:facts, skills,culture,analysis,inspiration.It's supposed to make us better citizens.But over the last decade,the goal of learning has given way to grades and degrees.The unfortunate result has been inflation ()of both.They rise ever higher;learning doesn't. To avoid discouraging students,some school districts did away with D and F grades. Grade-point averages have consistently risen even though scores on nationwide standardized exams such as the SAT have not.It's not that I think standardized tests are the final word in measuring excellence.But when the gaps between grades and test scores are this wide and consistent,parents and the public should not be fooled. That's true not just of low-achieving students.In a 2023 survey,educators said that close to half of students argue for higher grades than they earn,and 8 out of 10 teachers give in.It's hard to blame them:A third or more of students and parents disturb them when they don't. Unearned grades are damaging in many ways.Some students,armed with good grades,march off to college to find themselves in remedial classes because they haven't learned enough to take college-level courses. Employers complain that high school and even college graduates lack basic skills needed in the workforce.There are also complaints from college professors that the students aren't even good at reading books. Grade inflation has followed students into college.Some professors hesitate to grade accurately because of student evaluations,which are often more negative for tough graders.Remember that about 70%of college instructors are adjunct()professors who have few job protections.Many Ivy League students have learned to cherry-pick easy-grading professors.Yet a Brown University study found that students taking courses from professors with stricter grading standards learned more.We have to ask ourselves as a society:Do we want college to be a place of intellectual growth-or a performative exercise in grade fishing? 32.What are parents fooled into thinking? A.SAT is the best measure of their children's abilities B.The purpose of education is to make better citizens. C.Grade-point averages are vital for college application. D.Children's high grades reflect their exceptional abilities. 33.What is a consequence of grade inflation? A.Employers favor students with higher degrees. B.Graduates fall short of employers'expectations. C.Remedial classes become required courses in college. D.Low-achieving students find it harder to enter college. 34.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Tough graders desire job security. B.Strict grading promotes real learning C.Student evaluations fuel intellectual growth. D.Easy-grading professors start grade inflation. 35.What is the best title of the text? A.The game of scores B.Today,Grade A is for average C.The force behind grade inflation D.Now,learning takes the front seat 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may have seen them standing alone in a farmer's field.With thin arms and a strange smile,they stand guard over the crops day and night.36 Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians.Back then,farmers covered wooden frames with nets to protect wheat fields.37 Around 2500 BCE,the Grecks made the first human-like scarecrows.They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus.38 The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe. Centuries after the Romans marched through Europe,people around the world were creating their own scarecrows.In Japan,scarecrows were shaped like people in raincoats and straw hats.In Germany,scarecrows were made to look like witches. _39 In the oldest book of Japanese literature,The Kojiki,a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears. Though he can't walk,Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god.In the mid-19th century,writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story "Feathertop."In this tale,a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life. Then there is the most famous scarecrow.His name is simply"Scarecrow,"and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.In the children's novel,Scarecrow joins Dorothy,Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz.40 Aside from these examples,scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books.On Halloween,they are brought out as scary decorations.Both practical and creepy,scarecrows continue to capture our imagination. A.Scarecrows appear everywhere in the world. B.We can never ignore the influence of stories about scarecrow. C.They are scarecrows,whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years. D.They would hide in the wheat,and then jump out to scare birds into their nets. E.This was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields. F.Throughout the years,scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture. G.Scarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 In 2020,when Angela was just 10 years old,she entered her first piano competition.On the day of the 41,each participant had to go to the stage one by one and 42 their piece.At first,Angela was excited.

Our parents,especially my mother,always compared me to Lily.This constant comparison made me feel less confident and inadequate.So,I forced myself to study for long hours,even when I was exhausted.I also took piano lessons,but my clumsy fingers could never produce the same magic as Lily's. In high school,I joined the drama club,thinking that it might be a way to shine.I was so eager to prove myself that I took on every role that came my way,regardless of whether it suited me or not.I tried to parrot the acting styles of famous actors,but my performances always seemed forced and unnatural.The other club members started to give me strange looks,and I could sense their disappointment.I started to question myself:Why was I trying so hard to be someone I wasn't? One day,while helping out in the school library,I accidentally discovered a book on photography.As I flipped through the pages,I was fascinated with the charming images.That night,I started to imagine myself behind the camera,capturing the beauty of the world around me.The next day,I used my savings to buy a second-hand camera.I began to explore the school campus,taking pictures of the old buildings,the blooming flowers,and the smiling faces of my classmates.I found I could photograph in a way that made the ordinary look extraordinary. 注意： ()续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my camera in hand,I began to gain some confidence. The photography competition gave me more than an honor.
