第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim, but also improves your overall health and well-being. Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body. There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness. Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as “resistance training” are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body’s muscles. This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture, ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.
Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls and are ,especially important, to older adults, helping them stay independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground. Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.
21. How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine
A. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.
B. By having sufficient rest between their workouts.
C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time
D. By combining different exercise types together.
22. Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person's breathing function
A. Strength and Balance. B. Endurance and Flexibility.
C. Endurance and Strength. D. Flexibility and Balance.
23, Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises
Legs B. Arms. C. Waist. D. Neck.
B
Following Christmas dinner, my family was relaxing around the kitchen table. We had all enjoyed traditional turkey, sweet potatoes lightly coated with brown sugar. The good cooking smells still stayed. Dad had risen from his chair and was contentedly standing nearby.
My nephew, Andrew, never one to sit still for too long, began dribbling(运球) his new basketball. Upon nearing Dad, he stopped—almost uncertainly. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy, confused, looked up and over at us. It took some' convincing, but the ball was carefully passed over.
A playful smile appeared on his face. The twinkle in his eyes shone brighter than any Christmas lights. Holding the ball and reaching forward, Dad bounced it on the floor then caught it. Gently throwing the ball away, Dad began a game of catch. His active participation was remarkable to me, since he had advanced Alzheimer’s disease. It had robbed him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what you could do with it.
In my younger years, playing with Dad was rare. To his credit, Dad worked hard and provided for us. He was very private and never showed or shared much emotion, His game of choice was chess, which he did eventually teach me how to play. As an adult, I had become a caregiver and watched helplessly as Dad declined. Connecting moments between father and son had been few and far between before he took the basketball.
I'm not sure how long we played catch. What I do know is that our game ended all too soon, and it was time to face the reality of dirty dishes piled high on counter-tops. The moment, though, will certainly linger forever. On this Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory—one that I will always treasure. These stories about meeting Santa will fill you with Christmas spirit.
How did Andrew react to Dad’s request in the beginning
A. He hesitated to pass the ball. B. He invited Dad to the game.
C. He observed Dad carefully. D. He cheered for Dad’s recovery.
25. What role did Dad play in the author's childhood
A. A doug teacher. B. A true-worthy friend
C. A hardworking breadwinner. D. A helpless caregiver.
26. What makes this Christmas unforgettable
A. The strengthened father-son bond. B. Dad's remarkable basketball skills.
C. The festive atmosphere hanging over. D. The tasty food enjoyed by the family.
27. What does the underlined word “linger” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. differ. B. build. C. stick. D. fade.
C
Many people consider mosquito bites just part of summer living but these insects can carry diseases. Mosquitoes are actually some of the most dangerous creatures on the planet. According to the World Health Organization, mosquitoes cause over 700,000 deaths every year.
But there is new hope in the battle between man and mosquito. Scientists at Auburn University, in Alabama, may have found the secret to stopping mosquito-borne diseases. “We have created a type of fabric that blocks mosquito bites,” says John Beckmann, who leads the lab at the university,
Beckmann remembered a camping trip from which he returned riddled with kisses from mosquitoes despite wearing a long-sleeved shirt. “People say, ‘wear long sleeves’ a lot,” Beckmann said, “ but long sleeves don’t block mosquitoes.”
While some companies are making what they state is bite-proof clothing, the clothing includes some harmful chemicals or is made of thick fabrics that are too hot to wear and are easily beaten by mosquitoes. That's because there are holes in the makeup of their fabrics that mosquitoes and other biting insects can get through.
The key is to discover a fabric that can remove these holes and is still cool enough to wear in hot weather. “That is the reason why this project is not as easy as people think” said Beckmann. “You obviously need your clothes to be breathable. But that usually comes at the cost of letting mosquitoes bite through them. So the basic problem is keeping the holes there while blocking tiny mosquito mouth-parts at the same time.”
The team tried by using a computer numerical control knitting(编织) machine that could be programmed with different designs until they found a bite-proof one. The end result is a product that the researchers compare to popular high-quality athletic wear.
But the researchers are still not satisfied and will be spending the next year perfecting the comfort of the material and finally creating a clothing line. The hope is that finally any type of fabric can be knitted into the lab's design, so that all kinds of clothing companies from baby clothing producers to dress designers could create bite-proof clothing.
28. What happened to Beckmann on a camping trip
A. He was badly bitten by mosquitoes.
B. He discovered a new kind of mosquito.
C. He felt unbearably hot with long-sleeved clothes.
D. He mastered some skills in dealing with mosquitoes.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The popularity of bite-proof clothing.
B. Disadvantages of existing bite-proof clothing.
C. Advancements in bite-proof clothing.
D. Comparisons between different types of bite-proof clothing.
30. Which of the following is the goal of the researchers
A. Persuade more researchers to join in.
B. Make the design applicable to different fabrics.
C. Find a fabric suitable for all designs.
D. Get funded by clothing companies.
31. what is the best title for the text
A. Mosquitoes: The Silent Killers B. The Battle Against Mosquitoes
C. A Step Towards a Bite-Free Future D. Proven Ways to Prevent Mosquito Bites
D
Despite the fact that parrots are well known for their long lives and complex cognition(认知), it remains unknown whether the two features have influenced each other, “The problem has been sourcing good quality data,” says Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck institute of Animal Behavior (MIP-AB) and lead author of the study.
To generate a large sample size, the scientists teamed up with Species360, which draws on animal records from zoos. Together, they gathered data from over 130,000 individual parrots sourced from over 1,000 zoos. This database allowed the team to gain the first reliable estimates of the average life expectancy of 217 parrot species.
The analysis revealed an astonishing diversity in life expectancy, ranging from an average of two years for the fig parrot up to an average of 30 years for the scarlet macaw (a large parrot). “Living an average of 30 years is extremely rare in birds of this size,” says Smeele.
Next, the team combined the data and ran models to determine whether or not parrots’ cognitive abilities had an influence on their longevity. Their results provide the first support that increased brain size has enabled longer life expectancy in parrots. Because brain size relative to body size can be an indicator for intelligence, the findings suggest that the parrots with relatively large brains had cognitive capabilities that allowed them to solve problem in the wild that could otherwise kill them, and this intelligence enabled them to live longer lives. “This supports the idea that in general larger brains make species more flexible and allow them to live longer,” says Smeele.
In the future, the team plans to explore if sociality and cultural learning in parrots might have also contributed to long life expectancy.Smeele says, “Large-brained birds might spend more time socially learning foraging(觅食) techniques that have been around for multiple generations. This increased learning period could potentially also explain the longer life expectancy, as it takes more time but also make the foraging techniques more adaptive.”
How did the scientists collect data on 217 parrot species
A.By working with Species360. B. By using the data of the iPI-AB.
C.By observing parrots in zoos in person. D. By reviewing other scientists’ databases.
33. What do the findings suggest
A. Parrots usually live more than 30 years.
B. Large-brained parrots are in the majority.
C. Bigger brains make parrots more adaptable.
D. Long lived parrots mainly appear in the wild.
34. What will the scientists do next
A. Study the influence of social learning on parrots.
B. Sort out parrots’ socially learned foraging techniques.
C. Explore the links between sociality and cultural learning.
D. Prove the impact of life expectancy on parrot's cognitive abilities.
35. What is the passage mainly about
A. The key to parrots’ brain size. B. The barrier to parrots’ development.
C. The answer to parrots’ living problems. D. The secret to parrots’ long lives.

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。 The woman speaking to me at the basketball game looked quite familiar. She said, “Joe Is that you ”
“Marci ”
“It is you!” she said, smiling widely, “It's good to see you again!”
It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past tens of years, I'd wondered about her. I almost tried to find her a few years ago, after a friend told me that Marci had been going through a hard time. So running into her at the basketball game was, at the very least, unexpected.
We spent a few minutes catching up on the business of our lives: kids, work, houses, education and hobbies, etc. We played a little “Have you seen... ” and “Did you know .. ” And we talked about the old days, both good and bad.
Then Marci grew quiet for a while, looking out over the people moving around. “You know, Joe,” she said, “I've always wanted to tell you ... how ... you know ... how sorry I am for the way I treated you.”
I felt a little uncomfortable, remembering how Marci had broken up with me without any warning.
“It's okay,” I said. “No big deal.” At least, I thought to myself, not anymore.
“But I was such a bad person,” she continued, lowering her head.
Yes, you were, I thought, “We were both pretty young,” I said.
“I know,” she said. “But that's no excuse for ...” She hesitated(迟疑), and then continued: “I’ve always regretted it, remembering how mean I was to you. And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry and ask for your forgiveness. So ... I'm sorry.”
The smile on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief(解脱)—that washed away my anger and hate that may have built up within me during the years since she had broken my heart.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2: 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Okay, apology accepted!” I said. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We all bear wounds that others have caused us. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________

Dear Michael,
So delighted to learn that your school is going to hold the annual "Chinese Culture Festival", I'm here sharing some of my advice with you.
Firstly, it would be a good idea to hold a competition about Chinese poetry recitation, through which students can taste the charm of the Chinese language(which引导的非限制性定语从句).Additionally(另外)，a speech concerning Chinese traditional festivals is highly recommended, as unique customs and traditions behind each festival will undoubtedly attract students(as引导的原因状语从句).
I'm fully convinced that your festival will be a joyful and fruitful activity, which will spread brilliant Chinese culture to a larger extent.
Best wishes.
Yours ,
Li Hua

“OK.”| said. “Apology accepted!”
Overcome by the sweetness of the moment.I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.
We all bear wounds that others have caused us.
The healing balm of forgiveness can calm a troubled conscience and bring peace to an injured soul, even years after the fact. Of course, it isn't enough to just say “ I'm sorry,” and “You're forgiven.” While there is indeed great power in those simple words, it is not available to those who are insincere or who are only looking for a way to control or exploit. But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles(奇迹) of the heart and soul-miracles of forgiveness, even at a baseball game
