Your grandfather is sitting in the living room working on across word puzzle on a Saturday morning. He thinks these word puzzles are fun, but he also does them for another 65_____. He knows that brain games, like crosswords, help build his "mental muscles.”

The term "mental muscles" describes your brain's ability to finish 66_____ tasks. Like the muscles in your body, your brain's “muscles” need exercise. While your brain works all the time, that work does not necessarily exercise your brain.

67_____, sometimes your brain just needs time to relax and play. It is believed that brain games, like crossword puzzles, make your brain work while playing. They build your concentration by making you focus on some skills for a long time. For example, when doing a Sudoku puzzle, you focus on organization. Other games that may improve brain power are jigsaw puzzles, mahjong(麻将) and chess. They can help you to 68_____ patterns(图案), solve problems and memorize information.

Games build your brain by making you think differently than you normally do. For example, crosswords use clues to help you fill in a grid(方格) with words. A crossword clue might be "a fruit with yellow skin." Your answer must fit in the grid. The word for this clue has six boxes. To fill in those boxes, you need to answer the clue with the word "banana." Other words in the puzzle share some of the same letters. Because of this, answers to previous clues help you find answers to other clues. Crosswords make you remember the words you know and also help you learn new words. 69_____, filling out crosswords builds vocabulary and memory. When choosing a game, choose something that will improve a skill you are working on. It should challenge you. If it does not, it will not make your brain work hard enough. But a puzzle that is too hard isn't any fun. So 70_____ something that is fun for you, and enjoy building your brain.

65. A) reason   B) behavior   C) section   D) experiment

66. A) amazing  B) extra    C) certain   D) familiar

67. A) In all   B) So far    C) In return   D) in addition

68. A) recognize  B) discover   C) manage   D) print

69. A) Therefore  B) Instead   C) Also    D) Still

70. A) talk about  B) pick out   C) wait for   D) throw away

C. Read the passage and ill in the blanks with proper words在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)（14分)

Few things are as wonderful as visiting a beautiful natural place, breathing the fresh air and marveling at the landscape. But enjoying nature comes at a price. People may make nature messy if they aren't c___71___. There should be rules to keep people from accidentally harming nature. In 1990, the Leave No Trace movement attempted to help. They introduced the following seven principles to encourage people to both enjoy and protect the great outdoors.

Plan a___72___. This means more than just deciding which day to go. Check the weather forecast, plan what clothing to wear, and think about a water supply. Check the area's rules for use.

Hike and camp on surfaces that don't damage easily. Grass is easily damaged. Already used areas or areas with no grass are better choices for camping.

Deal with waste p___73___. Never leave garbage behind. Don't abandon your food wrappers, cans or leftovers. Take out what you take in.

Leave what you find. Take home any camping or hiking gear, but leave behind that cool rock or flower.

Reduce campfire d___74___. Build your fire only in an appropriate location. Check on the conditions of the area before going there. Sometimes building campfires isn't allowed. Never build a fire when weather conditions are too dry or windy.

Respect wildlife. You should stay at least 100 meters away from wildlife, so you don't d___75___ any animals. Getting too close could be fatal. Protect your food so animals can't get into it, and don't feed the animals anything.

Be kind to other visitors. Don't make loud noises or play loud music when you're out in natural environments. It annoys both the animals and humans. Don't travel in large g___76___ as it makes it troublesome for too many people to move around on the trail.

These seven principles can help e___77___ share the outdoors comfortably. We all need to take care of the earth we know and love.

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)

Paddling (划桨) a dragon boat is no piece of cake. Besides the key time required to be part of a team, it's a full-body exercise. When 1 joined a team, they told me it took at least three years to become a good paddler. There's so much to remember: correct posture and movement as well as team synchronization (同步，同时性) are necessary for a team's success.

'Dragon boat racing is a well-honored tradition in China and the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival. However, because of the pandemic(疫情), last year's races were put off from June to October. For the first time, Taipei's dragon boat championships were held during the October holiday.

Our team knew racing conditions on the river would be different in October, but we had no idea how different they would be. A nearby typhoon brought in the fierce winds and big waves on the river. With about 40 teams participating, I didn't expect our team to go very far. This was the first competition for most of us. And only the top two finishers in each group would advance to the next round.

Simply getting to the race's starting point for our first group was a challenge. The big waves threatened to flip(翻转) us over. Paddling against wave was tough, but we crossed the finish line and surprisingly, advanced to the second round.

The next day, there was no shortage of accidents. Boats flipped over and others lost control and weren't able to finish their races. In our final race that day, we narrowly advanced to the following day's semifinals.

We faced strong competitors in the semifinals, including a semiprofessional team. Being held back by their boat's waves was highly frustrating. However, in dragon boat racing, no one ever stops paddling, no matter what! So l kept paddling working my hardest to keep pace with the team. We trailed the other boats, but we didn't lose hope. In the final push，filled with both excitement and exhaustion, we persisted and advanced to the finals!

Although we had expectations, never did we imagine we'd make it into the top three. How come? Let me tell you! To win a dragon boat race, you need three things:

83________________, ________________ and ________________.

78. Paddling a dragon boat is easy, isn't it?

79. According to the team mates, how long did it take to become a good paddler?

80. Why were the races put off last year?

81. How did the writer feel when they advanced to the second round?

82. What do you think of the writer's semifinal race?

83. What can be filled in the blanks in the last paragraph? To win a dragon boat race, you need three things:

________________, ________________ and ________________.
