    While parents and educators worry that children have been doing too little exercise, a sixth grade class from RDFZ Chaoyang School finished their 100th 5-kilometer morning jogging program on Saturday to celebrate their upcoming(graduate).

    (strengthen) their physical fitness, the program is organized every Saturday morning with the guidance of a parent coach. Their first run in September 2021 proved thatbeginning is always the hardest. After running for hundreds of meters, some students(feel) shortness of breath, while others had to lean on each othersupport to reach the finish line. Despite the challenges, their(effort) have continued since the program began.

    National surveys have shown a rapid increase in the number of overweight teenagers. According to data(publish) at the 10th China Obesity Science Conference, one in five people aged 6 to 17 is overweight or obese (肥胖), up from one in 20 in 1995.

    The government has noticed the connection between the decline in physical exercise and health problems. In response, a series of measures, such as the nationwide "double reduction" policy,(introduce) to reduce students' academic pressureincrease their exercise time in recent years. The sixth grade jogging program provides a platform,students can experience health, happiness and friendship through physical activity.

  • 2、One evening I was running late for a meeting and I passed a friend in the hallway. My friend asked the daily1 question, "How are you doing?" However, rather than give the2 response, "Good, how about you?" I decided to3 my dissatisfaction with traffic, people who can't4 their cellphones at traffic lights, poor vision in the rain and everything else about my5 journey to work.

    Instead of showing sympathy, my friend asked a challenging question, "What would have happened if your guardian angel hadn't   6 those traffic problems?" The inference was that I might have been7 something much worse than being late for a meeting. My8 reaction was to laugh and walk on, but later I began to9 what he had asked. Over the next few days, the more I thought about this question, the more10 I was able to see in it.

    I thought about my family experiences as well as the things that had happened to me, and the seed he had11 started to grow. I remembered my uncle who was late for a flight and the flight he had12 crashed down. I remembered when13 kept me from accidents on the same road I was traveling on.

    Ever since my friend gave me his advice in the form of a14, I have become less stressed. Keeping the advice in mind makes me feel more15 and has improved my life.

  • 3、The Hedgehog (刺猬)'s Dilemma is an idea about wanting close relationships but being afraid of getting hurt emotionally. German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (比喻) of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other's quills (刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain.

    So that's the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives?. But should we let these experiences stop us from trusting people in the future? Schopenhauer's advice would probably be "yes".For example, a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离)are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.Psychological therapist (心理治疗师) Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. These defenses may protect us for a short time, but if they last too long, they can stop us from making real connections.

    In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Unlike hedgehogs, humans don't have the quills.So when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people, there's a chance we actually can have it all—the warmth of true relationships without the fear of being hurt.

    A. However, modern research offers a different perspective.

    B. This metaphor shows how important it is to fit in with nature.

    C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences.

    D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future.

    E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships.

    F. This is similar to humans' struggle to balance closeness and self-protection.

    G. We have the ability to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves.

  • 4、Animals appear to predict (预测) earthquakes by sensing electricity in the air — the first study to find reliable evidence of the phenomenon has shown.

    Cameras showed an "amazing" drop in the number of animals up to 23 days before a major quake hit their rainforest home at Yanachaga National Park in Peru. Lead scientist Dr Rachel Grant, from Anglia Ruskin University, said, "The results showed that just before the earthquake, animals' activity dropped right down."

    On a normal (正常的) day the cameras placed around Yanachaga National Park record between 5 and 15 animals. But in the 23 days before the earthquake, the number of animals dropped to five or fewer per day. No animals were photographed at all on five of the seven days immediately before the quake.

    Another study showed that animal activity remained normal in the park over a different period when seismic (地震的) activity was low. Co-author, professor Friedemann Freund, said, "The cameras were located at an altitude of 900 meters. If air ionization (电离) occurred, the animals would escape to the valley below, where there were fewer positive ions (离子). With their ability to sense their environment, animals can help us understand small changes that occur before major earthquakes."

    Other evidence suggested that before the earthquake, the air around the high mountain sites is filled with positive ions that can be produced when rocks are placed under stress. Positive ions have been known to cause ill effects in humans as well as animals. Scientists believe the animals were made to feel uncomfortable by the positive ions, leading them to avoid the area. They are thought to have escaped to lower ground, where the air was less ionized. The findings may help experts develop better short-term seismic forecasts.

    (1)、How did scientists conduct the study?
    A、By comparing different animals' habits. B、By observing animals in high mountains. C、By analyzing the photos of animals they obtained. D、By explaining the positive ion phenomenon.
    (2)、What usually happens before earthquakes according to the text?
    A、The ground at a lower altitude is less ionized. B、Cameras normally record more animals per day. C、The air is filled with positive ions. D、The activity of animals before earthquakes is normal.
    (3)、What can we learn from the text?
    A、The findings make for long-term seismic forecasts. B、Animals tend to be uneasy with more positive ions. C、Positive ions make humans and animals nervous. D、All the animals remain abnormal before the earthquake.
    (4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?
    A、Negative Influence of Positive Ions B、Ions' Destruction to the Environment C、Animals' Behavior Before Earthquakes D、Creatures' Ability to Predict Natural Disasters
  • 5、A new study from UBC Okanagan says students appear to be using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) responsibly, and as a way to speed up tasks, not just improve their grades. Dr. Meaghan MacNutt, who teaches professional ethics (伦理学) in the UBCO School of Health and Exercise Sciences (HES), recently published a study which goes against common concerns about students' use of AI.

    Students in three different courses, almost 400 participants, completed a survey about their use of AI on at least five reflective writing assignments. All three courses used an identical AI policy and students had the choice to use the tool for their writing.

    While only about one-third of the students used AI, the majority of users, 81 percent, reported their GenAI use was inspired by at least one of the following factors: speed and ease in completing the assignment, a desire for high grades and a desire to learn. About 15 percent of the students said they were motivated by all three factors, with more than 50 percent using it to save time on the assignment.

    "There is a lot of speculation (猜想) when it comes to students' use of AI," MacNutt says. "However, students in our study reported that GenAI use was motivated more by learning than by grades, and they are using GenAI tools selectively (有选择地) and in ways they believe are ethical and supportive of their learning. This was somewhat unexpected due to the common view that undergraduate students have become increasingly focused on grades at the expense of learning."

    MacNutt says continued research in this area can only provide a better understanding of student behaviour and attitudes as GenAI technologies continue to advance. She also suggests, while AI continues to be used more frequently, that institutions and educators adopt an approach that reflects "collaboration with" rather than "surveillance of" students.

    (1)、What can be inferred about Dr. MacNutt's study?
    A、Participants were too limited. B、Policies on AI tool usage vary. C、AI is a choice for writing tasks. D、The survey focused on writing skills.
    (2)、What was the main motivation for the majority of GenAI users in the study?
    A、To improve academic performance. B、To achieve higher grades effortlessly. C、To replace their own writing entirely. D、To gain an absolute advantage over others.
    (3)、The underlined word "surveillance" in paragraph 5 means ________.
    A、Ignoring. B、Monitoring. C、Understanding. D、Encouragement.
    (4)、What is the significance of Dr. MacNutt's study?
    A、It highlights common concerns about GenAI in education. B、It warns that GenAI might encourage shortcuts in learning. C、It proves that GenAI helps students improve their grades quickly. D、It shows that students can use GenAI responsibly to support learning.
  • 6、I'm James. Tired from work, I felt life was boring and I really needed something to change my focus. One night I came across a website recommending scuba (水肺) diving lessons. I hadn't ever thought much about the idea of diving before; but its complete unfamiliarity sparked my interest; I decided to give it a shot! I had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool. After finishing the courses, I felt very happy and proud for getting over my first fear and discomfort of breathing underwater.

    Knowing I hadn't yet experienced what real scuba diving is all about, I spent hours researching where the best places to dive were. Before I knew it. I was on an airplane to Belize. Less than a day after I arrived, and just a few minutes into my first ocean dive. I was already diving straight down and found myself 80 feet underwater. It's the kind of extraordinary water having such great visibility (能见度) that you can see clearly for hundreds of feet around you.

    Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom, a lone nurse shark swam right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anything or anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn't the least bit shy. He had apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily harm, I was both relieved and excited.

    This will always be that one special dive that changed everything and I get to watch it any time I find myself missing the water.

    (1)、What pushed James to try scuba diving?
    A、He had taken some diving lessons. B、He lived in a flat near a swimming pool. C、He wanted to escape from work exhaustion. D、He had always been interested in water sports.
    (2)、How was James's first ocean dive?
    A、He hadn't trained for it. B、He didn't adopt a gradual strategy. C、He immediately felt comfortable and saw no fear. D、He stayed near the surface and didn't go very deep.
    (3)、Why did James mention sea animals?
    A、To underline their diversity. B、To introduce their wildness. C、To demonstrate diving appeal D、To promote ocean exploration
    (4)、What is the suitable title for the text?
    A、How deep down I swam! B、How I overcame fear! C、What an underwater thrill! D、What a beautiful excitement!

    When I first moved to the new community, I found it difficult to adapt. Everything was unfamiliar, and I felt like an outsider in a place where everyone seemed to know each other.

    One day, I returned from a morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys, only to realize that I had lost them. As all of them are tied together including my car key, I decided to return to the paths we'd taken. I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace (折返) our steps, but the result was disappointing.

    Back home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the chair in exhaustion (筋疲力尽). The house key wasn't that important as I had an extra. I had a spare car key, but there was often something wrong with it, and the key would be expensive to replace. The iron heart made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. Thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes.

    That night, it turned colder and we had a snow. Suddenly I heard the noise of my car alarm from the garage (车库). I rushed to the car, put the extra key into the door and finally opened it, and then I hurriedly tried my best to stop the alarm. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next-door neighbours being disturbed and annoyed.

    I went back in the house but the alarm started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm sounded again. I repeated the process. Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Thinking it was a neighbour ready to complain at me, I opened the door cautiously(谨慎地). To my surprise, in the light snow stood three neighbours from several streets away.

    The Mongolian art of singing: Khoomei (呼麦), or Hooliin Chor (throat harmony), is a style of singing in a single performer produces a diversified harmony of multiple voice parts, including a continued bass (低音) element (produce) in the throat. These singers may perform alone in groups.

    Khoomei (practise) today among Mongolian communities in several countries, (especial) in Inner Mongolia in northern China, western Mongolia and the Tuva Republic of Russia. Traditionally performed on the occasion of routine ceremonies, songs express respect and praise for the natural world, for the ancestors of the Mongolian people and for great (hero). The form is reserved for special events and group activities such as horse races, archery and wrestling tournaments, large banquets and sacrificial ceremonies. The timing and order of songs is often strictly regulated. Khoomei has long been regarded as a central element (represent) Mongolian culture and remains a strong symbol of (nation) or ethnic identity. As a window into the philosophy and aesthetic values of the Mongol people, it has served a kind of cultural emissary (使者) promoting understanding and friendship among China, Mongolia and Russia, and has attracted attention around the world as unique form of musical expression.

  • 12、What would you do if you were lost in the wilderness? You have probably read or heard about people who survive under seemingly impossible conditions. These people have been able to survive by focusing on three basic needs: water, food, and shelter.

    Water is one of the few substances necessary to sustain (维持) life, but pure water may be difficult to find. Exhaustion (疲劳) will cause you to sweat heavily, resulting in a salt shortage that causes dehydration (脱水). An easy way to collect water is to collect dew (露水) in the morning for water.

    Feeling of hunger can be ignored with a positive attitude. Some people have to eat insects, earthworms and other animals that are easy to catch. Plants, however, should not be eaten unless they are not poisonous. Knobby berries, such as blackberries and raspberries, are also simple to identify.

    In heavy rains or snow, you can build a shelter with branches and ropes. Use as many branches as possible for added stability and protection against the wind and weather. If you are in a desert environment, try to build an underground shade shelter to avoid sun exposure.

    Remember calm is extremely important in any emergency. Find a water source, identify food to gather and find shelter. By focusing on these basics, you can turn yourself into a survivor.

    A. Nuts are easy to identify and are nutritious.

    B. Water can set the line between life and death.

    C. Keep your body temperature as normal as possible.

    D. If there is a shortage of water, do not exhaust yourself.

    E. Protection from extreme temperatures is another concern.

    F. Come up with a plan and don't waste time or energy by getting upset.

    G. But food is another necessity if you are lost for a longer period of time.

  • 13、NASA's Voyage 2 spacecraft, which has been probing (探测) the outer bounds of the solar system for over 45 years, is running out of power. But a new plan aims to keep its mission alive for at least three more years.

    The Voyage 2, first launched in 1977, has been helping scientists study faraway planets and understand how the heliosphere (日球层) protects Earth. With Voyage 2's power supply running out, NASA was about to shut down one of its five science instruments on the spacecraft. To keep it going, engineers had already given up heaters and other nonessential parts that used power.

    However, engineers have now found a way to use reserve power from a safety mechanism to support Voyager 2. The move will enable the mission to put off shutting down a science instrument until 2026, rather than this year.

    Ed Stone, who was the chief scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, has spent over half his life dedicated to the Voyager programme. He said, "What it revealed was how complex the solar system really is. Before Voyager, the only known active volcanoes were here on Earth. And the only known oceans in the solar system were here on Earth. But we have known more since the Voyager programme started."

    Voyager 2 and its twin, Voyager 1 (launched the same year), are the only spacecrafts to have ventured beyond the heliosphere. Voyager 2 is 12.3 billion miles away from Earth and counting. Voyager 1, also facing an expiration (到期) date as it also loses power, is 14.7 billion miles away.

    "The science data that the Voyager are returning gets more valuable the farther away from the Sun they go, so we are definitely interested in keeping as many science instruments operating as long as possible," Linda Spilker, the Voyager programmes project scientist at the Jet Propulsion Lab said.

    NASA, meanwhile, has been working to make sure the Voyager doesn't end up with a slow failure, with officials weighing expensive and complex suggestions from several groups for a new, long-term probe.

    (1)、How did NASA react to Voyager 2's power supply running out in the past?
    A、NASA regarded it to be normal. B、NASA fixed heaters for engineers. C、NASA shut down its five science instruments. D、NASA tried its best to keep Voyager 2 alive.
    (2)、What does Voyager 1 have in common with Voyager 2?
    A、They were launched on the same date. B、They have protected Earth for years. C、They are 12.3 billion miles away from Earth. D、They are likely to stop working in the coming future.
    (3)、What does Linda Spilker want to convey?
    A、Science instruments attract her deeply. B、The Voyagers can't fly farther any more. C、Science instruments on the Voyagers are well worth operating. D、The farther the Voyagers go, the more accurate science data is.
    (4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?
    A、Voyager 2 Has contributed a Lot to Earth B、NASA Is Keeping Voyager 2 Going Until at Least 2026. C、The Voyagers Will End Up with a Failure D、The Expensive Ways Can't Save Voyager 2
  • 14、A team at the University of California, Los Angeles developed a human-like robot that will take part in an international soccer competition. The name of the robot is ARTEMIS, which stands for Advanced Robotic Technology for Enhanced Mobility and Improved Stability. It stands 142 centimetres tall and weighs 38 kilogrammes.

    The researchers said ARTEMIS is one of only a few humanoid robots that can run. It can also jump and walk on different kinds of surfaces without losing its balance. The robot also can kick a ball and remain standing even when kicked or hit. The engineers who built the robot said it can walk at a speed of 2.1 metres per second. This could make ARTEMIS the world's fastest walking humanoid robot.

    The team said the goal of the project was to create a robot that can perform many human-like activities, particularly playing the sport of soccer. To do this, engineers said they modeled the devices that control the robot after human muscles. ARTEMIS uses a series of sensors and cameras to help it move and position itself.

    Dennis Hong is a UCLA professor of engineering and the director of the university's Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory. He explained in a statement the reason ARTEMIS can keep good balance even when walking and running over uneven surfaces. It is because the robot is "getting both feet off the ground while in motion," Hong said. He added, "This is a first-of-its-kind robot." Another difference between ARTEMIS and other humanoid robots is that it is controlled electrically instead of by hydraulics (水力学). The developers said this makes the robot quieter and cleaner running. Over the next few weeks, they will work on perfecting the robot's soccer playing skills.

    One member of the team, student Justin Quan, said his personal goal is engineering robots that can improve people's lives. "Seeing these robots helping push the robot technology to that next level is really rewarding because you're like, oh, the dream, it gets closer," he said.

    (1)、What does the underlined word "humanoid" in Paragraph 2 mean?
    A、Human-like. B、All-round. C、Automatic. D、Custom-designed.
    (2)、What makes it possible for ARTEMIS to play soccer?
    A、It never loses balance. B、It can move flexibly for ever. C、It has powerful sensory functions. D、Its design is patterned on the human muscles.
    (3)、What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 4?
    A、The way that ARTEMIS maintains balance in motion. B、The using method and advantages of ARTEMIS. C、The most advanced technology applied to ARTEMIS. D、The distinctive features and working principle of ARTEMIS.
    (4)、What's Justin Quan's attitude to the future of the latest robots?
    A、Critical. B、Hopeful. C、Concerned. D、Uninterested.
  • 15、"Every life is a boat, the dream is the boat sail." Every child has a dream of what they want to be. When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer fire fighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her beloved father died and she was never able to do volunteer work with him. However, Renee's story didn't end there. She was determined and never gave up, which makes for a good firefighter.

    Now Renee is a member of the Carmel Fire Department, where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician. She should also be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who's sick. Sometimes she is in the driver's seat or using the water pump. Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to care for, as her husband is also a busy fire fighter. Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination.

    When I asked Renee what the best part of her job was, she replied, "Helping people and saving lives." I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She's always willing to do anything for anyone in need. Renee says that her job is frightening at times, but extremely exciting. "The worst part of my job is that I see death. Actually, sometimes people die in the accident, for which I am very sorry." With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women, but that doesn't bother her. She says everyone can get a fair shot and do the same jobs.

    I was inspired by this because I knew I would be very scared to do her job and didn't know if I could handle seeing people die. We would never live without people like her who have the courage to risk their lives. Renee's determination rubs off on me and makes me believe that I can do anything.

  • 17、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。

    When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery(杂货)store downstairs from my house. As a girl of shy nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the busy city life.

    One sunny day, my school told us about an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to show their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a sense of curiosity and a desire to join in. However, my self-doubt and anxiety held me back, "I don't have any special skills to share."

    Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn't shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. "How about singing together in the talent show?" She smiled, "I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I couldn't help following you here." Gosh, I couldn't believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, praised my little talent. Since Emma had the world's prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.

    "You two? The talent show for the food bank?" My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. "A big thing." Then a light smile seemed to go in her head. "Why not practice right now upstairs? I bet you'll be a perfect match." Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.

    Emma and I started practicing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed(排练)the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.

  • 20、I was at the store yesterday with my son to buy our groceries, like rice, oatmeal, apples and beans. At the last minute, I told my son to get a candy bar for himself. He hadn't had a treat for a long time because we're really1 of money now. He looked at it silently with great2, and it was really nice to see his face3 up when I said he could take it.
