Competitors race between checkpoints 35 km apart, where they change horses. They spend nights at one of 28 stations, set up their own camp or enjoy the hospitality (好客) of friendly Mongolian families.Walker was an hour ahead of his rivals (对手) as the race entered its eighth day but dealt with a time punishment because his horse had a high heart rate during one of the regular checks which make sure that the animals were healthy. “I was in the lead for a long time but I had a bad vet check,” Walker said. “They check the heart rate of your horse to see if it is above 56 beats per minute. I picked a horse that had a bit of a problem.”Walker said he had gone to Mongolia to “give it a go” but realized that he stood a chance of winning after teaming up with Patrick Heffron, a competitor from Ireland. “The horses are quite wild. I got bucked (颠) off three times. I fell off in a hole,” he said. “You’re going along and you suddenly disappear. You have to hang on to your horse for dear life or it goes off.”Heffron met Walker as they went out for the race. He said it was important to form a team, mainly because falling off alone means that there is no one to help you recover your horse. “It’s also a bloody long way to talk to yourself,” Heffron said, “Neither of us had goals to win this race in advance but we realized: ‘We’re in front.’ So we pushed.”24．What can we learn about the Mongol Derby?A．It provides accommodations in hotels.        B．It allows competitors to change horses.C．It requires competitors be young and strong. D．It has been held every two years since 2021.25．Why was Walker behind his rivals at last?A．His horse was in poor condition.    B．He was punished for breaking rules.C．He failed to finish the race in given time. ` D．He got injured when he fell off the horse.26．Which of the following best describes Walker?A．Creative. B．Confident.C．Warm-hearted. D．Strong-willed.27．What does the story tell us?A．Success is hard won. B．Practice makes perfect.C．Many hands make light work. D．Everything comes to those who wait.CWhen Narayanswami was invited to a dinner by a friend who worked at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she was excited. Many of the guests flew planes. “I must have expressed some yearning(渴望),”she says, because someone told her “You should join the flying club!” The next day Narayanswami, who was 57 at the time, arranged to meet an instructor. “I said ‘Aren’t I too old?” He said “We’ve got students in their 80s.”Narayanswami grew up in Southwest London, and at grammar school suffered horrific racist bullying. The library provided shelter. But, as she reached her late teens, she feel family pressure for an arranged marriage; “I really protested,” she says. “But I want to be an astronaut! My mother made a promise.  As long as you are getting an education we will not look for a husband for you.”Narayanswami studied biology at Leicester University, then did a PhD at St Andrew, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of California. “Every time you move you get further away,” her dad remarked on the phone. “I didn’t feel I would be able to escape unless I did that,” she says.In 2020, aged 64, Narayanswami finished 423 flight hours she needed to earn her pilot's license. Then she applied to Nasa’s astronaut corps, but received a very appreciative rejection. Even now, at 66, she says “I haven't been able to figure out how to deal with it. It doesn’t go away.” The racist bullying she received as a child has cast a very long shadow.Flying has helped. It is a workout: she has to tow the plane out to the taxiway. And it offers a different perspective. “I can see eagles, bears, mountain lions, birds of prey. I love the beauty of the clouds. They are like hills. Vaster than our hills,” she says.New possibilities have arisen—Narayanswami chairs the board of the General Aviation Awards in the US—but she finds relaxing difficult. In flight, she is part of a huge network of people who are communicating by radio frequency. There is no sense of skin colour. We are all tied together by our voices.28．How did the instructor’s words sound to Narayanswami?A．Disappointing. B．Embarrassing.C．Annoying. D．Encouraging.29．What does the,underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Accepting an aged marriage. B．Receiving an education.C．Keeping a distance. D．Making a promise:30．What does Narayanswami think of Nasa's rejection?A．It indicates prejudice against her. B．It ruins her childhood memory.C．It raises concern for her age. D．It leaves room for negotiation.31．What does flying bring to Narayanswami?A．A good way of relaxation. B．A different dimension of life.C．A rich knowledge of wild lie. D．A full exhibition of leadership.DContrary to the long­held belief that plants in natural world are always in competition, new research has found in bad environments mature (成熟的) plants help smaller ones — and thrive as a result. The research team, led by Dr.Rocio Pérez­Barrales studied adult and young plants in the “ecological desert” of soil in the south­east of Spain.The findings could have significance for those managing bad environments like coastal areas. Dr.Pérez­Barrales said, “What we have found surprising is that a strong large plant, called a ‘nurse’， shields a young one, and it also produces more flowers than those of similar size growing on their own.” Dr.Pérez­Barrales and her team studied plant growth in southern Spain for over three months during summer and found that the young and “nurse” are more likely to thrive when grown together, compared to either plant growing alone.The young plants benefit from shade, more moisture and more nutrients, from the leaf litter (落叶层) of the “nurse” plants, and probably higher bacteria and fungus (真菌) in the soil. As it matures, the “nurse” plant grows more flowers than those similar ones nearby growing alone, greatly increasing its chances of producing seeds and reproducing. Besides, vegetation of “nurse” and facilitated plants with more flowers might be able to attract a greater number and variety of pollinators (传粉昆虫) in an area. In turn, it supports insect and soil life, and even provides a larger range of different fruit types for birds and mammals. This is the greatest achievement of the ecosystem.The research is likely to be of value to those who manage to protect plants in hostile and harsh environments, such as shingle and sand­dune (沙丘) ecosystems, which are considered at high risk due to human action and climate change. Most home gardeners and farmers are happy with the research as well, but the findings might be of more value to those who garden in harsh places.32．What's the finding of the study?A．The mature and smaller plants benefit each other when growing together.B．Large plants sacrifice themselves for the smaller ones.C．Young plants compete with the adults for larger space.D．Young plants struggle to survive in harsh environments.33．Why is a plant called a “nurse”？A．Because it produces more flowers.    B．Because it competes with a larger one.C．Because it protects and helps the young.   D．Because it grows well in bad environments.34．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The natural selection.       B．The biodiversity (生物多样性) in an area.C．The improvement of the soil.      D．The high rate of animal reproduction (繁殖).35．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A．The effects of the research on agriculture.   B．The shortcomings of the research at present.C．The influence of the research on climate change. D．The significance of the research findings in some fields.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）When you place an order on Taobao, you know the money you pay doesn't go directly to the seller.Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while.Then Alipay gives the money to the seller.__36__.It is a transfer (财产转让)station between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe.

I’ve witnessed one inspiring case.One morning, I went outside to feed our horse Bullet. Usually, Bullet waits eagerly at the fence for his breakfast. But this morning he stayed near a tree in the pasture’s center. As he began joyfully walking toward me, I noticed a dog lying in the tall grass beneath the tree. So this was what held Bullet’s attention this morning: a homeless dog. Most of the homeless dogs shied away from our large Bullet, but this one seemed to feel safe in the shelter of the tall grass regardless of Bullet. I placed alfalfa cubes inside the fence. After Bullet ate them, I’d give him some cookies he loved most.I walked back to my porch and sat down. As Bullet ate alfalfa, the dog stood up cautiously, stared at Bullet for long and then slowly walked toward Bullet. The dog often paused and looked at me to ensure I wasn’t a threat. As the dog drew closer to Bullet, I held my breath. I didn’t know how Bullet would react to an animal that approached while he was eating. Knowing a horse’s kick can kill a dog, I decided to scare the dog away. Just then Bullet swung his head and looked at the dog. Not minding it, he ate his food again.The dog drew close enough to take an alfalfa cube. My heart broke as I watched the dog — a female — chewing on the alfalfa. She had to be extremely hungry to attempt to eat horse feed. I went inside the house, carried some meat and walked toward the fence. The dog soon ran to the safety of the tall grass near the tree. I put the meat down outside the fence and went back inside the house. She’d probably come for the meat when I was out of sight.Minutes later, I realized I hadn’t yet given Bullet his cookies. I took some and went back outside. Amazingly, Bullet was lying down in the grass beneath the tree with the dog next to him. I smiled at the warm scene they created.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________But Bullet didn’t care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie.___________________________________________________________________________________________
