They typically help with a variety of activities at previously excavated (发掘) sites (志愿者协助考古学家和当地专家亲身参与保护重要的印加遗址，他们通常在已发掘遗址开展各类工作)”可知，该志愿者项目重点是维护现存文化遗址。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Working Hours部分“Volunteers usually work for 3-4 hours per day, Monday to Friday, with shifts scheduled in the morning or afternoon based on project needs. (志愿者通常周一至周五每天工作3至4小时，根据项目需求安排上午或下午轮班。)”可知，志愿者的工作安排会根据实际需求变化。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Program Fees部分“1 week + 6 days $1,260 (13天，1260美元)”以及Additional Options部分“Spanish Immersion Week — 4 hours of group classes per day $320 (西班牙语沉浸周——每天4小时小组课程320美元)”可知，13天项目加上西班牙语培训总共需花费1260+320=1580美元。 B Kieran Behan fell in love with gymnastics and dreamed of competing in the Olympics when he was just six, attracted by the opportunity to challenge the laws of gravity and spin (旋转) through the air as if he were a bird. He officially took up gymnastics at the age of eight, and soon proved that he had an outstanding natural talent for this sport. However, his effort to achieve the dream was repeatedly held back by a number of serious injuries, two of which were so serious that doctors said he would never walk again. Refusing to accept a life limited to a wheelchair, Behan stuck to hard recovery training for months and bravely returned to gymnastics. To afford professional training, he worked hard doing gym cleaning, while his parents sold snacks and washed cars to raise money for him. At 23, Behan narrowly made it to the London Olympics, becoming the first Irish gymnast to earn a place through talent rather than a special admission. He also benefited from a new Olympic rule that reduced the number of gymnasts on each team from six to five to give more places to athletes whose country does not form a full team. Some top teams complained about the new rule, saying it forced them to leave world-class gymnasts at home, but the change had a positive side: It allowed athletes like Behan to compete at the top levels. Having won several world-level medals, Behan did not set his mind on winning Olympic medals or reaching the finals. He simply hoped his journey could encourage more people to bravely get over hardships in life. He believes his strong determination and deep love for gymnastics are part of his nature, and he feels deeply lucky to finally realize his long-treasured childhood dream. 4. What does Behan’s early passion for gymnastics mainly reflect? A. A longing for body perfection. B. A need to escape family pressure. C. A desire to go beyond physical limits. D. A wish for popularity and recognition. 5. What might be Behan’s attitude towards the Olympic rule change? A. Grateful. B. Upset. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 6. What does Behan’s reaction to the Olympic medals suggest about his values? A. Avoiding injuries came first. B. Seeking honors guided his journey. C. Proving doctors wrong became his mission. D. Inspiring others mattered more than winning 7. What can be inferred from Behan’s road to the Olympics? A. He was interested in free training chances. B. He showed remarkable mental strength. C. He was skilled at seeking help from others. D. He relied heavily on the external environment. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了爱尔兰体操运动员Kieran Behan从小热爱体操，虽屡遭重伤甚至被告知可能无法行走，仍坚持康复与训练，最终登上伦敦奥运会舞台，并希望用自己的经历激励他人战胜人生困境。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Kieran Behan fell in love with gymnastics and dreamed of competing in the Olympics when he was just six, attracted by the opportunity to challenge the laws of gravity and spin (旋转) through the air as if he were a bird.(Kieran Behan在六岁时就爱上了体操，并梦想参加奥运会，当时他被挑战万有引力定律的机会所吸引，可以像一只鸟一样在空中旋转)”可知，Behan早期对体操的热爱主要体现为渴望突破身体限制。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He also benefited from a new Olympic rule that reduced the number of gymnasts on each team from six to five to give more places to athletes whose country does not form a full team. Some top teams complained about the new rule, saying it forced them to leave world-class gymnasts at home, but the change had a positive side: It allowed athletes like Behan to compete at the top levels.(他还受益于一项新的奥运规则，该规则将每支队伍的体操运动员人数从六人减少到五人，以便为未组建完整队伍的国家的运动员腾出更多名额。一些顶尖队伍对新规则表示不满，称这迫使他们将世界级的体操运动员留在国内，但这一改变也带来了积极的一面：它让像Behan这样的运动员得以参加高水平比赛)”可推知，Behan会因规则变化带来的机会而心存感激。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Having won several world-level medals, Behan did not set his mind on winning Olympic medals or reaching the finals. He simply hoped his journey could encourage more people to bravely get over hardships in life.(Behan曾赢得过多个世界级别的奖牌，但他并不打算追求奥运奖牌或进入决赛。他只是希望自己的经历能激励更多人勇敢地克服生活中的困难)”可知，相比获胜，激励他人对Behan更重要。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Refusing to accept a life limited to a wheelchair, Behan stuck to hard recovery training for months and bravely returned to gymnastics.(拒绝接受只能坐轮椅的生活，Behan坚持数月艰苦康复训练，并勇敢重返体操赛场)”以及第三段“At 23, Behan narrowly made it to the London Olympics, becoming the first Irish gymnast to earn a place through talent rather than a special admission.(23岁时，Behan勉强进入伦敦奥运会，成为第一位凭借天赋而非特殊录取获得一席之地的爱尔兰体操运动员)”可推知，Behan在通往奥运的路上展现出非凡的精神力量。 C If you hit your head against a tree all day long, you probably wouldn’t feel too great and neither would your brain. Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) do this all the time though and it’s what they’re named for. To understand this difference, scientists ran a comparative experiment between woodpeckers and hoopoes, birds that only peck soil. Using high-speed cameras and force sensors, they recorded the path, timing, and speed of the pecks. They also used special machines to see the shape of the birds’ skulls (头骨) and conducted force tests on the birds’ beaks (the hard pointed mouth of a bird) and skull bones. After collecting the measurements, scientists created models of the skulls and reproduced pecking forces on these models to see how force was spread across the skulls. If you have ridden a bike with shocks (减震器), you know that the shocks help make a shaky ride smoother by taking in the impact, keeping you comfortable and your bike in one piece. Woodpeckers’ heads are kind of like bike shocks for their brains. The bones in a woodpecker’s skull keep its brain comfortable and avoid injuries. So why don’t woodpeckers get headaches? Research shows they have several amazing protective features. To start with, they change the path of their pecks to limit brain damage in specific areas. Another protection is a special bone covering the whole skull, acting just like a safety belt to keep the brain in place. Most importantly, a woodpecker’s upper beak is longer than its lower beak on the outside, but inside, the lower beak bone is longer and takes on most of the pressure, diverting impact from the brain to the body. As a result, the brain experiences far less force. A woodpecker’s skull is like a built-in head protector to keep its brain from getting hurt. Scientists even think some of their findings about woodpeckers can be used to make better head protectors. Maybe one day your head will be as well protected from damage as a woodpecker’s brain. 8. What was the research centered on? A. How head protectors are made. B. How woodpeckers protect their brains. C. How woodpeckers peck at trees. D. How beak shapes affect pecking. 9. Why did the author mention the experience of riding a bike? A. To compare bike speeds with pecking. B. To introduce shocks’ different functions. C. To encourage bike riding for brain health. D. To explain woodpeckers’ impact-reduction method. 10. What does the underlined word “diverting” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Redirecting. B. Measuring. C. Preventing. D. Relating. 11. What can be implied from the last paragraph? A. Woodpeckers prefer certain wood types. B. Woodpeckers’ skulls differ greatly in shape. C. Woodpeckers’ head structure may benefit humans. D. Woodpeckers’ brain structure needs further exploration. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了科学家对比啄木鸟与戴胜鸟，借助实验发现啄木鸟头部多重结构可缓冲撞击、保护大脑。相关研究有望用于研发更好的防护头盔，给人类头部防护提供新思路。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“So why don’t woodpeckers get headaches? Research shows they have several amazing protective features.(那么，为什么啄木鸟不会头痛呢？研究表明，它们拥有多种出色的保护机制)”可知，这项研究聚焦于啄木鸟如何保护自己的大脑。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“If you have ridden a bike with shocks (减震器), you know that the shocks help make a shaky ride smoother by taking in the impact, keeping you comfortable and your bike in one piece. Woodpeckers’ heads are kind of like bike shocks for their brains.(如果你骑过带减震器的自行车，就会知道减震器能吸收冲击，使颠簸的骑行更加平稳，让你感到舒适，同时保护自行车不受损坏。啄木鸟的脑袋就像自行车的减震器一样，为大脑提供缓冲作用)”可知，作者提到骑自行车的经历是为了解释啄木鸟的减震方法。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Most importantly, a woodpecker’s upper beak is longer than its lower beak on the outside, but inside, the lower beak bone is longer and takes on most of the pressure, diverting impact from the brain to the body. As a result, the brain experiences far less force.(最重要的是，啄木鸟的上喙在外部比下喙更长，但在内部，下喙骨更长，承担了大部分压力，将冲击力从大脑diverting到身体。因此，大脑受到的冲击要小得多)”可知，划线词所在语境说明啄木鸟下喙骨骼更长，会把原本作用于脑部的压力转移到身体上，大幅降低脑部承受的力，diverting此处含义为“转移、使改道”，和Redirecting（重新导向）语义匹配。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A woodpecker’s skull is like a built-in head protector to keep its brain from getting hurt. Scientists even think some of their findings about woodpeckers can be used to make better head protectors. Maybe one day your head will be as well protected from damage as a woodpecker’s brain.(啄木鸟的头骨就像内置的头盔，能保护其大脑免受伤害。科学家甚至认为，他们对啄木鸟的一些研究成果可用于制造更优质的头盔。也许有一天，你的头部也能像啄木鸟的大脑一样受到充分保护)”可知，科学家认为啄木鸟头部结构的研究成果可用来制造更好的头盔，造福人类。 D The future of farming is here, and it’s smart. Smart farming, also known as digital farming, is the use of modern technologies to increase the efficiency of agriculture, use resources more lightly and result in higher production. It involves integrating information and communication technologies into machinery, equipment, and sensors in agricultural production systems. According to our research, the application of smart farming technologies could add $500 billion in additional value to the global gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030. This would amount to a 7 to 9 percent increase in the industry’s overall value. With such significant benefits, it’s no wonder that smart farming is quickly becoming the future of agriculture. Smart farming is a rapidly growing field that has the potential to change agriculture. It allows farmers to be more efficient in their use of resources. By monitoring soil moisture (水分) levels, for example, farmers can avoid overwatering their crops, which can save both water and energy. Similarly, by using modern techniques, farmers can apply fertilizers and pesticides (肥料和农药) more accurately, reducing the amount of waste and reducing the impact on the environment to the lowest possible level. While smart farming offers many advantages, it also presents a number of challenges. One of the big challenges is the cost of applying new technologies. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other smart farming tools can be expensive, and many farmers may not have the resources to buy them. Another challenge is the complexity (复杂性) of the technology itself. Smart farming involves collecting and analyzing large amounts of data, which can be difficult for farmers who are not familiar with data analytics. In addition, the technology is constantly changing, which means that farmers need to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in order to get the most out of their equipment, which is the most challenging issue for farmers. Despite these challenges, we believe that smart farming has the potential to change agriculture and help farmers to be more efficient and productive. As the technology continues to change and become more available, we are excited to see how it will shape the future of farming. 12. What do the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2 show? A. High profitability of smart farming. B. The effective smart farming methods. C. Agriculture’s contributions to the global GDP. D. The relationship between farming and technologies. 13. What benefit can farmers gain by applying smart farming? A. Reducing energy waste. B. Increasing the crop quality. C. Decreasing the use of fertilizers. D. Spending less time on farming. 14. What is the biggest challenge of smart farming for farmers according to the author? A. The shortage of technical education. B. The constantly changing technology. C. The cost of applying new technologies. D. The mismatch between the market and technology. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of smart farming? A. Curious. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了智慧农业的概念、可能带来的经济价值与资源效率优势，分析其成本、技术复杂性和技术更新快等挑战，并总体展望智慧农业的发展前景。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to our research, the application of smart farming technologies could add $500 billion in additional value to the global gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030. This would amount to a 7 to 9 percent increase in the industry’s overall value. (根据我们的研究，到2030年，智能农业技术的应用可为全球国内生产总值（GDP）增加5000亿美元的价值，使该行业整体价值提升7%至9%)”可推知，这些数字用来说明智慧农业具有很高的经济收益潜力。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By monitoring soil moisture (水分) levels, for example, farmers can avoid overwatering their crops, which can save both water and energy. Similarly, by using modern techniques, farmers can apply fertilizers and pesticides (肥料和农药) more accurately, reducing the amount of waste and reducing the impact on the environment to the lowest possible level. (例如，通过监测土壤水分，农民可以避免过度灌溉，从而节约水和能源。同样，通过采用现代技术，农民可以更精准地施用肥料和农药，从而减少浪费，并将对环境的影响降至最低)”可知，智慧农业能帮助农民减少水和能源的浪费；文中说的是更精准地使用肥料农药以减少浪费，并不等于必然减少肥料使用量。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In addition, the technology is constantly changing, which means that farmers need to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in order to get the most out of their equipment, which is the most challenging issue for farmers. (此外，技术在不断变化，这意味着农民必须跟上最新发展才能充分利用设备，而这是农民面临的最具挑战性的问题)”可知，作者认为最大挑战是技术持续更新。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite these challenges, we believe that smart farming has the potential to change agriculture and help farmers to be more efficient and productive. As the technology continues to change and become more available, we are excited to see how it will shape the future of farming. (尽管面临这些挑战，我们相信智能农业有潜力改变农业，帮助农民提高效率和生产力。随着技术不断进步并变得更加普及，我们期待它将如何塑造未来的农业发展)”可推知，作者对智慧农业的发展持积极、乐观态度。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture a night out with friends, and you might think of loud music, expensive restaurants, and upbeat parties. ____16____ They seek genuine and meaningful hangouts in low-pressure environments. This latest trend is called “soft socializing” which emphasizes enjoying companionship (陪伴). ____17____ It can be something as simple as a walk or even cooking together. Young people get together and enjoy each other’s presence. Group activities frequently draw attention away from one person and onto something outside. By doing something together, friends can hang out without feeling pressure to fill in gaps in conversation. According to Robert Alexander, a psychologist, soft socializing emphasizes a relaxed environment without the need to get dressed up or put on a show. ____18____ “It can help people feel safe and connected with others, and know that they can truly belong without having to manage impressions,” Robert said. Of course there are reasons why this trend may be taking off. Young people today are more digitally connected than any previous generation. Unlike their elders, Gen Z has rarely experienced social silence. ____19____ As a result, the more traditional forms of in-person gatherings for socializing feel more like a burden (负担). Soft socializing is a trend that emphasizes being real and feeling connected. It’s simple to set up a soft socializing get-together. First, pick an activity — something like hiking, studying, or cooking dinner. ____20____ Soft socializing shows that friendship doesn’t have to be loud, expensive, or performative. Sometimes, the best connections are found in quiet moments with friends who let you be yourself. A. Soft socializing can also be less expensive. B. For many of them, connection is continuous. C. Being quiet in a conversation is not awkward. D. This turns the goal from performing to being present. E. Soft socializing centers on friends and shared activity. F. Then, invite friends over and enjoy each other’s company. G. But Gen Z is redefining the way young people hang out. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了轻社交这一新兴社交趋势，即Z世代不再追求喧闹、昂贵的传统聚会，而是倾向于在低压力环境中与朋友进行简单真实的陪伴式社交。 【16题详解】 由上文“Picture a night out with friends, and you might think of loud music, expensive restaurants, and upbeat parties. (想象和朋友外出，你可能会想到喧闹的音乐、昂贵的餐厅和欢快的派对。)”以及下文“They seek genuine and meaningful hangouts in low-pressure environments.

Young people get together and enjoy each other’s presence. Group activities frequently draw attention away from one person and onto something outside. By doing something together, friends can hang out without feeling pressure to fill in gaps in conversation. (它可以像散步或一起做饭一样简单。年轻人聚在一起享受彼此的陪伴。集体活动通常将注意力从一个人转移到外部事物上。通过一起做某事，朋友们可以一起闲逛，而不必感到有压力去填补对话中的空白。)”可知，本段旨在介绍轻社交以朋友和共同活动为核心的特点，选项E表示“轻社交以朋友和共同活动为中心。”，能涵盖本段主旨，适合作本段段首句，符合题意。 【18题详解】 由上文“According to Robert Alexander, a psychologist, soft socializing emphasizes a relaxed environment without the need to get dressed up or put on a show. (心理学家罗伯特·亚历山大认为，轻社交强调放松的环境，不需要盛装打扮或刻意表演。)”以及下文“It can help people feel safe and connected with others, and know that they can truly belong without having to manage impressions. (它可以帮助人们感到安全并与他人建立联系，知道他们可以真正地归属，而不必刻意管理印象。)”可知，上文阐述了轻社交不需要表演的特点，下文介绍了轻社交让人真实做自己的效果，本空要说明从表演到真实存在的转变，选项D表示“这将目标从表演转变为活在当下。”，能承上启下，符合题意。 【19题详解】 由上文“Unlike their elders, Gen Z has rarely experienced social silence. (与长辈不同，Z世代很少经历社交沉默。)”以及下文“As a result, the more traditional forms of in-person gatherings for socializing feel more like a burden. (因此，更传统的面对面聚会形式让人感觉更像是一种负担。)”可知，上文阐述了Z世代很少经历社交沉默这一现象，下文介绍了传统面对面聚会成为负担的结果，本空要解释Z世代很少经历社交沉默的原因，选项B表示“对他们中的许多人来说，联系是持续不断的。”说明了Z世代数字联系从不中断，因此不习惯社交沉默，能承上启下，符合题意。 【20题详解】 根据上文“It’s simple to set up a soft socializing get-together. First, pick an activity — something like hiking, studying, or cooking dinner.

She worked hard to provide for her children, doing a few part-time jobs to make ends meet. In spite of the challenges, Mary managed to give them a happy and stable childhood. One Saturday morning, Mary was at home with her children, preparing breakfast for them. Jack was beside her while James was playing alone in the bedroom next to the kitchen. It was a typical weekend, filled with laughter and warmth. Little did they know something unexpected was just around the corner. As Mary was busy with the food, a fire broke out in the kitchen. Panicked, Mary took hold of Jack and rushed towards the front door. They made it to safety only to find James remained stuck inside. Mary put Jack down and turned back to get James out, but in such a hurry and panic, she missed a step and fell on the ground. Her right ankle got sprained so seriously that she couldn`t stand up. Mary sat on the ground helplessly, her tears mixed with screams, “My kid is still in the house. Somebody, help me!” At that very moment, Simon, 52, a former army soldier in the same community as Mary, happened to pass her house and saw the terrible scene. He immediately ran across the yard to ask the crying mother where her kid exactly was. In a shaking voice, Mary responded, “In the bedroom next to the kitchen.” The fire spread quickly and the house was filled with thick smoke. Simon looked around and saw a blanket hanging beside a pool full of water in the middle of the yard. 注意： 1. 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。 Without hesitation, Simon took action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Simon rushed out of the burning house with James in his arms. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Without hesitation, Simon took action. Dipping the blanket in the water pool and covering his head with it for necessary protection, he rushed into the house. Unable to see things clearly through the smoke and fire, Simon lowered himself to the ground, stretched his hands and felt his way forward until he reached the bedroom. Just then, a faint voice of a child caught his attention. Following the sound, he finally found James lying in a corner, frightened and helpless. He grabbed James, wrapped him in the blanket and made his way back towards the open door. Simon rushed out of the burning house with James in his arms. Seeing James carried to safety, Mary breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, firefighters arrived at the scene and put out the fire. Then Simon, Mary and her children were all sent to a nearby hospital, where they received timely medical care. Simon’s heroic act saved James’ life. Mary couldn’t thank him enough for his selflessness and bravery. But Simon said smilingly, “It was no big deal. I just did what I was supposed to do.” This experience brought the community closer, and Simon`s courageous act inspired others to consider what they would do in similar situations. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了36岁的玛丽是一位单身母亲，和她3岁的双胞胎儿子杰克和詹姆斯住在俄亥俄州克利夫兰的一个小镇上。为了养活孩子，她努力工作，做了几份兼职来维持收支平衡。某天玛丽正忙着做饭时，厨房里突然着火了，玛丽惊慌失措，一把抓住杰克向前门冲去。他们到达安全地带，却发现詹姆斯被困在里面。这时52岁的西蒙碰巧经过她的房子，救出了孩子，西蒙得到了玛丽的感谢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“西蒙毫不犹豫地采取了行动”可知，第一段可描写救出詹姆斯的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“西蒙抱着詹姆斯从着火的房子里冲了出来”可知，第二段可描写西蒙救出詹姆斯，得到了玛丽的感谢。 2.续写线索：西蒙采取行动——救援詹姆斯——詹姆斯得救——詹姆斯被送往医院——玛丽感谢西蒙 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲进：rush into/hurry to ②找到：find/discover ③抓住：grab/seize 情绪类 ①害怕的：frightened/scared ②感谢：thank/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] Dipping the blanket in the water pool and covering his head with it for necessary protection, he rushed into the house.

The surrounding Sacred Valley is home to breathtaking archaeological (考古的) treasures, including Machu Picchu and Moray. The archaeological project sites are located 1 to 2 hours’ drive from Cusco. Volunteer Tasks Volunteers support archaeologists and local experts in preserving important Inca sites through hands-on work. They typically help with a variety of activities at previously excavated (发掘) sites, such as cleaning the site, removing grass and weeds, recording newly marked rocks in a field notebook, building protective walls, and creating basic site maps. Excavation work is not included in the program tasks. Working Hours Volunteers usually work for 3-4 hours per day, Monday to Friday, with shifts scheduled in the morning or afternoon based on project needs. If additional help is required, the project director may request help on weekends. Please note that local holidays may affect the regular work schedule. Requirements 18 or older Good physical fitness; tasks involve hard work, standing for hours, and walking long distances. Spanish skills are helpful but are not required. We highly recommend the Spanish Immersion Week before volunteering for those who do not speak Spanish. Dates & Fees Arrival day is every Sunday, year-round. Departure is on a Saturday. Program Fees: Duration Program Fee (USD) 6 days $ 860 1 week + 6 days $1,260 2 weeks + 6 days $ 1,590 3 weeks + 6 days $ 1,930 Additional Options: Spanish Immersion Week — 4 hours of group classes per day $320 Mini Adventure — A week-long tour for volunteers that shows Peru’s top highlights $825 1. What does the volunteer program focus on? A. Discovering new historical sites. B. Enjoying the view of the Sacred Valley. C. Maintaining existing cultural sites. D. Learning about history from locals. 2. What can we learn about the volunteers’ work schedule? A. It varies depending on needs. B. It involves long working hours. C. It requires night work. D. It runs strictly on schedule. 3. How much will the 13-day program and Spanish training cost? A. $1,180 B. $ 1,580 C. $ 1,910 D. $ 2,085 B Kieran Behan fell in love with gymnastics and dreamed of competing in the Olympics when he was just six, attracted by the opportunity to challenge the laws of gravity and spin (旋转) through the air as if he were a bird. He officially took up gymnastics at the age of eight, and soon proved that he had an outstanding natural talent for this sport. However, his effort to achieve the dream was repeatedly held back by a number of serious injuries, two of which were so serious that doctors said he would never walk again. Refusing to accept a life limited to a wheelchair, Behan stuck to hard recovery training for months and bravely returned to gymnastics. To afford professional training, he worked hard doing gym cleaning, while his parents sold snacks and washed cars to raise money for him. At 23, Behan narrowly made it to the London Olympics, becoming the first Irish gymnast to earn a place through talent rather than a special admission. He also benefited from a new Olympic rule that reduced the number of gymnasts on each team from six to five to give more places to athletes whose country does not form a full team. Some top teams complained about the new rule, saying it forced them to leave world-class gymnasts at home, but the change had a positive side: It allowed athletes like Behan to compete at the top levels. Having won several world-level medals, Behan did not set his mind on winning Olympic medals or reaching the finals. He simply hoped his journey could encourage more people to bravely get over hardships in life. He believes his strong determination and deep love for gymnastics are part of his nature, and he feels deeply lucky to finally realize his long-treasured childhood dream. 4. What does Behan’s early passion for gymnastics mainly reflect? A. A longing for body perfection. B. A need to escape family pressure. C. A desire to go beyond physical limits. D. A wish for popularity and recognition. 5. What might be Behan’s attitude towards the Olympic rule change? A. Grateful. B. Upset. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 6. What does Behan’s reaction to the Olympic medals suggest about his values? A. Avoiding injuries came first. B. Seeking honors guided his journey. C. Proving doctors wrong became his mission. D. Inspiring others mattered more than winning 7. What can be inferred from Behan’s road to the Olympics? A. He was interested in free training chances. B. He showed remarkable mental strength. C. He was skilled at seeking help from others. D. He relied heavily on the external environment. C If you hit your head against a tree all day long, you probably wouldn’t feel too great and neither would your brain. Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) do this all the time though and it’s what they’re named for. To understand this difference, scientists ran a comparative experiment between woodpeckers and hoopoes, birds that only peck soil. Using high-speed cameras and force sensors, they recorded the path, timing, and speed of the pecks. They also used special machines to see the shape of the birds’ skulls (头骨) and conducted force tests on the birds’ beaks (the hard pointed mouth of a bird) and skull bones. After collecting the measurements, scientists created models of the skulls and reproduced pecking forces on these models to see how force was spread across the skulls. If you have ridden a bike with shocks (减震器), you know that the shocks help make a shaky ride smoother by taking in the impact, keeping you comfortable and your bike in one piece. Woodpeckers’ heads are kind of like bike shocks for their brains. The bones in a woodpecker’s skull keep its brain comfortable and avoid injuries. So why don’t woodpeckers get headaches? Research shows they have several amazing protective features. To start with, they change the path of their pecks to limit brain damage in specific areas. Another protection is a special bone covering the whole skull, acting just like a safety belt to keep the brain in place. Most importantly, a woodpecker’s upper beak is longer than its lower beak on the outside, but inside, the lower beak bone is longer and takes on most of the pressure, diverting impact from the brain to the body. As a result, the brain experiences far less force. A woodpecker’s skull is like a built-in head protector to keep its brain from getting hurt. Scientists even think some of their findings about woodpeckers can be used to make better head protectors. Maybe one day your head will be as well protected from damage as a woodpecker’s brain. 8. What was the research centered on? A. How head protectors are made. B. How woodpeckers protect their brains. C. How woodpeckers peck at trees. D. How beak shapes affect pecking. 9. Why did the author mention the experience of riding a bike? A. To compare bike speeds with pecking. B. To introduce shocks’ different functions. C. To encourage bike riding for brain health. D. To explain woodpeckers’ impact-reduction method. 10. What does the underlined word “diverting” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Redirecting. B. Measuring. C. Preventing. D. Relating. 11. What can be implied from the last paragraph? A. Woodpeckers prefer certain wood types. B. Woodpeckers’ skulls differ greatly in shape. C. Woodpeckers’ head structure may benefit humans. D. Woodpeckers’ brain structure needs further exploration. D The future of farming is here, and it’s smart. Smart farming, also known as digital farming, is the use of modern technologies to increase the efficiency of agriculture, use resources more lightly and result in higher production. It involves integrating information and communication technologies into machinery, equipment, and sensors in agricultural production systems. According to our research, the application of smart farming technologies could add $500 billion in additional value to the global gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030. This would amount to a 7 to 9 percent increase in the industry’s overall value. With such significant benefits, it’s no wonder that smart farming is quickly becoming the future of agriculture. Smart farming is a rapidly growing field that has the potential to change agriculture. It allows farmers to be more efficient in their use of resources. By monitoring soil moisture (水分) levels, for example, farmers can avoid overwatering their crops, which can save both water and energy. Similarly, by using modern techniques, farmers can apply fertilizers and pesticides (肥料和农药) more accurately, reducing the amount of waste and reducing the impact on the environment to the lowest possible level. While smart farming offers many advantages, it also presents a number of challenges. One of the big challenges is the cost of applying new technologies. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other smart farming tools can be expensive, and many farmers may not have the resources to buy them. Another challenge is the complexity (复杂性) of the technology itself. Smart farming involves collecting and analyzing large amounts of data, which can be difficult for farmers who are not familiar with data analytics. In addition, the technology is constantly changing, which means that farmers need to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in order to get the most out of their equipment, which is the most challenging issue for farmers. Despite these challenges, we believe that smart farming has the potential to change agriculture and help farmers to be more efficient and productive. As the technology continues to change and become more available, we are excited to see how it will shape the future of farming. 12. What do the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2 show? A. High profitability of smart farming. B. The effective smart farming methods. C. Agriculture’s contributions to the global GDP. D. The relationship between farming and technologies. 13. What benefit can farmers gain by applying smart farming? A. Reducing energy waste. B. Increasing the crop quality. C. Decreasing the use of fertilizers. D. Spending less time on farming. 14. What is the biggest challenge of smart farming for farmers according to the author? A. The shortage of technical education. B. The constantly changing technology. C.

This latest trend is called “soft socializing” which emphasizes enjoying companionship (陪伴). ____17____ It can be something as simple as a walk or even cooking together. Young people get together and enjoy each other’s presence. Group activities frequently draw attention away from one person and onto something outside.

She worked hard to provide for her children, doing a few part-time jobs to make ends meet. In spite of the challenges, Mary managed to give them a happy and stable childhood. One Saturday morning, Mary was at home with her children, preparing breakfast for them. Jack was beside her while James was playing alone in the bedroom next to the kitchen. It was a typical weekend, filled with laughter and warmth. Little did they know something unexpected was just around the corner. As Mary was busy with the food, a fire broke out in the kitchen. Panicked, Mary took hold of Jack and rushed towards the front door. They made it to safety only to find James remained stuck inside. Mary put Jack down and turned back to get James out, but in such a hurry and panic, she missed a step and fell on the ground. Her right ankle got sprained so seriously that she couldn`t stand up. Mary sat on the ground helplessly, her tears mixed with screams, “My kid is still in the house. Somebody, help me!” At that very moment, Simon, 52, a former army soldier in the same community as Mary, happened to pass her house and saw the terrible scene. He immediately ran across the yard to ask the crying mother where her kid exactly was.
