The job description of a postman doesn't always include travelling through thick forests, fast-flowing waters and occasionally being run after by wild animals, but for D. Sivan, that is exactly what it is.
Every day for 30 years, this humble postman has been delivering post to some of the most remote villages in Coonoor which are inaccessible by road. Carrying the mail, he walks along the Nilgiri Mountain Railway track, walking through thick forests, crossing slippery streams and walking on railway bridges. Having travelled through the difficult path for 30 years, Mr. Sivan has grown fond of the wild animals he encounters on his daily walks, going so far as to say that they've all become his friends. But even his friends have occasionally caused him some trouble, with an elephant once having run after him. He was saved by a truck driver who spotted him and honked at the elephant. The animals recognize him now, though.
As the years rolled by, emails started replacing letter writing. And as more and more people moved from the Nilgiri hills to the plains-the towns of Mettupalayam and Coimbatore, Sivan's bag became lighter and lighter every day. Many weeks he ended up carrying just 3-4 letter to each village.
One day Sivan noticed that a man to whom he was supposed to deliver his pension had moved to Coimbatore. The man had fallen very sick and was hospitalized. Sivan tracked down the hospital, travelled 80 kms by bus and later car, and delivered the pension. The kind postman even paid for the whole trip himself!
Not all heroes wear a cape(披风); some have white hair and carry a simple bag full of letters. Not all heroes write cool stories on Instagram; some just sit outside a door and read out a son's letter to his mother.
24、Which of the following best describes Sivan's daily delivery journey?
A. Awkward. B. Comfortable. C. Adventurous. D. Uneventful.
25、What do the underlined words “his friends” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Postmen. B. Truck drivers.
C. Wild animals. D. Villagers in Coonoor.
26、Why did Sivan travel to Coimbatore?
A. To send a pension check. B. To enjoy a trip to the plains.
C. To get hospital treatment. D. To draw his pension.
27、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Letters or emails B. The world's busiest postman
C. The postal service in Coonoor D. Capeless hero with a bag
Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts. Reverse tourism has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased at least 10-fold. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up 15.78 percent year-over-year.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural encounters. Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Chaniges in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists. "The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing," said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said, "reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, more efforts should be made to tap the potential of underrated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism."
28、What are the statistics in paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The popularity of travel agency in China.
B. The high income of hotels during holidays.
C. The contributions of tourism to the economy.
D. The increasing trend of reverse tourism in China.
29、What may be the root cause of the rise of reverse tourism?
A. The impact of COVID-19.
B. Holidaymakers' changing needs for travel.
C. The lower cost of heading to less-traveled places.
D. The lack of innovative improvements in famous attractions.
30、What does Zhengzhou Daily think of reverse tourism?
A. It will drop with the recovery of economy.
B. It is helpful to spread local culture to tourists.
C. It benefits both tourists and the tourism market.
D. It blocks the development of some popular resorts.
31、What does Jiang Han mainly talk about in the last paragraph?
A. He predicts the likely future of reverse tourism.
B. He highlights the characteristics of local tourism.
C. He explores the potential of lesser-known attractions.
D. He offers suggestions on how to boost reverse tourism.
The Legacy Senior Communities is proud to announce the latest innovation in senior living care is coming to its Dallas and Plano campuses, the TrueLoo® smart toilet by Toi Labs. “We're consistently exploring new technologies to ensure that we are providing excellent care in the most effective and efficient ways,” says Legacy Senior Communities CEO Melissa Orth.
“The TrueLoo® smart toilet provides early detection of oncoming health complications before they become serious, and all in a dignnified and valuable manner. This improves our care response and can potentially avoid a potential health complication altogether,” says Orth. “The innovative toilet automates data collection and enables clinical team members to keep track of the residents around the clock without uncomfortable conversations with them about their toileting habits. Investing in TrueLoo® technology enables a higher standard of care with dignity,” says Vik Kashyap, Toi Labs' founder and CEO.
In assisted living and memory support residences, where toileting activity is harder to collect, the TrueLoo® smart toilet provides effortless collection, enhancing current services as well as residents' experience. The Legacy Senior Communities begins testing the units in early March. The pilot program will launch in Memory Support at the Kalman and Ida Wolens Foundation Healthcare Center at the Willow Bend community and at the Midtown Park community's Andrea &Richard Skibell and Leslie Rudd Healthcare Center. The communities will continue manual monitoring to establish a control group during this trial period. The resulting data will enable The Legacy to benchmark the ability of the smart toilet.
“We decided to trial the smart toilet in two different service areas,” said Director of Strategic Development Bridgette Walshe. “We want to ensure that this technology is non-invasive(非侵入性的) while providing accurate and relevant data.” Walshe believes that artificial intelligence is one potential means to cost-effectively improve senior care services, freeing up valuable time for clinical team members to provide more person-centric care.
32、How can the TrueLoo® smart toilet benefit seniors?
A. By improving their toileting habits.
B. By identifying their potential health issues.
C. By calling clinical team members for them at any time.
D. By informing care workers of their desire to use a toilet.
33、What can best conclude Kashyap's words about his company's product?
A. It is quality-centered. B. It is safety-guaranteed.
C. It is privacy-ensured. D. It is comfort-focused.
34、What does the underlined word “benchmark” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Measure. B. Recognize. C. Demonstrate. D. Improve.
35、What is Walshe's attitude to the toilet?
A. Hopeful. B. Critical. C. Tolerant. D. Contradictory.

36、Three Ways to Slow Down Myopia
Myopia, which is also known as short-sightedness or nearsightedness, is a growing problem. In fact, a recent study predicts that myopia will affect vision for nearly half of the global population by 2050. Myopia usually begins in childhood and tends to get worse as people get older. This can have a negative impact on one's everyday life. ①_____ Here's how.
First, put the devices away. Data from 145 studies covering 2.1 million participants revealed that increases in myopia are driven principally by lifestyle. Today's youth spend a lot of time performing near work activities, often on electronic devices. Of course, it's unrealistic not to use these devices at all. ②_____
Next, go outside. Increased outdoor activity has been shown to slow the onset of myopia by 11%-34%. One possible reason is that components of sunlight activate vitamin D, which may play a potential role in eye growth. ③_____ This places fewer near-vision demands on young eyes.
④_____ Regular glasses and contact lenses(隐形眼镜) can help people see more clearly, but they do not slow down the progression of myopia. However, certain types of contact lenses including soft lenses can slow down the speed at which myopia develops, providing a more effective and efficient treatment option. Just consult your doctor.
Controlling myopia is important because the dependency on glasses can reduce one's ability to participate actively in sports and other activities. ⑤_____ Therefore, take steps to keep your eyes healthy.
A. Finally, try not to wear glasses.
B. Finally, ask your doctor about ways to manage myopia.
C. Myopia can be caused by family history, lifestyle or both.
D. But try to limit them so that there's more balance in the day.
E. And increasing myopia can sometimes lead to future eye health problems.
F. Fortunately, new research is lighting the path to improved strategies to manage myopia.
G. Also, people are usually engaged in more distance vision activities when they're outside.

54、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。
Every early morning Gleen would run to school to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and classmates arrived. Their little schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned coal stove in winter.
One chilly morning, the teacher and students arrived, only to find the schoolhouse in flames. Gleen was dragged out of the flaming building, unconscious. The lower half of his body was badly burned and he was immediately sent to a nearby hospital. From his bed, Gleen faintly heard the doctor talking to his parents. “He could hardly survive,” the doctor said in a low voice, “for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body.”
“I don't want to die, mum.” Gleen told his mother. He was determined to survive. To the doctor's amazement, he did survive. When the serious danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his parents speaking quietly. “He was bound to be disabled for life,” the doctor whispered, “since the fire had destroyed so much flesh a in the lower part of his body. He can't walk like a normal person.”
“I will walk, dad.” Gleen told his father. Once more, the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be disabled. But unfortunately, he has no feeling from the waist down. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Ultimately, he was discharged from the hospital.
Back home, Gleen's mother would squeeze and rub his little legs every day, hoping to help them recover, but it made little difference. He was either in bed or attached to a wheelchair. Yet his determination that he would walk never faded. Instead, he kept thinking about how to make himself stand up and walk again.
On a lovely summer day, as usual, Gleen was wheeled out into the yard for some fresh air, where his father had just built a fence by driving the stakes(木桩) into the grassland. Sitting in the wheelchair, Gleen was staring at the fence around the yard.
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。
It occurred to him that he could make the most of the fence.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After that, Gleen began to do this every day until he made a flat path beside the fence.

18、答案：A
解析：Welcome, everyone. This is Allan from Doctors' Research. As we all know, your job not only affects your income, quality of life, and happiness, but it also affects your health. A new study has suggested that having an interesting job in your forties may reduce your risk of getting Alzheimer's disease in old age. After examining over 100, 000 volunteers, the researchers found that people like government officers and lawyers are a third less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease than vehicle drivers and machine operators. Although lots of studies have suggested that keeping the brain active by challenging yourself regularly likely reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease, none of them has found that mentally demanding hobbies, like doing puzzles, have the same effect. Nor does reading. On the contrary, regular exercise and a healthy diet are recommended in helping lower the risk to some degree.

This can have a negative impact on one's everyday life.(近视通常始于儿童时期,并随着年龄的增长而恶化。这会对一个人的日常生活产生负面影响)”提到了近视会给人的日常生活产生负面影响;下文“Here's how.(这就是如何减轻的)”以及第二段开始提到减轻近视的方式。由此可推知,设空处转而提到了近视有办法缓解。F项“Fortunately, new research is lighting the path to improved strategies to manage myopia.(幸运的是,新的研究为改善近视管理策略指明了道路)”与上下文对应。故选F项。

④设空处为段落主旨句,应能概括本段主要内容;下文“Regular glasses and contact lenses(隐形眼镜) can help people see more clearly, but they do not slow down the progression of myopia. However, certain types of contact lenses including soft lenses can slow down the speed at which myopia develops, providing a more effective and efficient treatment option. Just consult your doctor.(普通眼镜和隐形眼镜可以帮助人们看得更清楚,但它们并不能减缓近视的发展。然而,某些类型的隐形眼镜,包括软性隐形眼镜,可以减缓近视的发展速度,提供更有效和高效的治疗选择。去咨询你的医生吧)”提到了咨询医生那些方法更有效缓解近视。B项“Finally, ask your doctor about ways to manage myopia.(最后,向你的医生咨询管理近视的方法)”与本段内容对应。故选B项。
⑤上文“Controlling myopia is important because the dependency on glasses can reduce one's ability to participate actively in sports and other activities.(控制近视很重要,因为对眼镜的依赖会降低一个人积极参与运动和其他活动的能力)”提到了控制近视的重要性;下文“Therefore, take steps to keep your eyes healthy.(因此,采取措施保持眼睛健康)”提到了需要采取措施保持眼睛健康。E项“And increasing myopia can sometimes lead to future eye health problems.(近视加剧有时会导致未来的眼部健康问题)”与上下文对应。故选E项。

54、答案：
It occurred to him that he could make the most of the fence. He had his mother wheeled him to the fence, beside which he threw himself onto the grass from the chair. Then, using all his strength, he struggled to raise himself up by holding on to the fence. Then, stake by stake, he began moving himself forward along the fence, dragging his legs behind. “Mom, dad, I will make it.” Glenn smiled at his parents, his eyes full of determination.
After that, Gleen began to do this every day until he made a flat path beside the fence. He kept practicing standing up and walking with the help of the fence while his mother kept squeezing and rubbing his legs every day. As time went by, with his mother's daily massages and his persistence, he did regain the ability to first stand up by himself, then to walk unsteadily, then to walk by himself, and finally to run. Gleen, the boy who was never expected to survive, walk or run, proved that nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
