Cheering squads (啦啦队) are known for their energy and athleticism, and always add fun and excitement to any event. Most cheering groups have young members, so this Arizona cheering squad certainly stands out.
Established in 1979, Sun City Poms, which only recruits members who are over 55 and reside in Sun City, a retirement community in Arizona, has distinguished itself as a cheering squad that brings joy to seniors and audiences of all ages. The team has become increasingly popular, performing at parades, festivals, and events throughout the state.
Interested seniors don’t need a history of cheering or participation in marching bands to join the team. Members of the squad have three-hour practices three days a week. Despite the demanding schedule though, the women remain committed to the team. Sun City Poms president Peggy Parsons joined because of her passion for dancing. Mary Zirbel, 81, has been with the group for 23 years now.
“That’s what I want to do.” Zirbel says nowadays the cheering squad is a big part of her life. Despite the tiring schedule and off days, Zirbel is not about to leave the team anytime soon. “The older the members, the louder the cheers from the crowd.” Parson remarked, “Ginger, our 90-year-old, always gets the loudest.” Since becoming a member of the team, Parsons said that getting older doesn’t bother her anymore. “It makes me not mind because I think these are the best years of my life.”
As their new Instagram page says, these ladies are having the time of their lives while sharing positive aspects about aging. They perform with the spunk and energy of their youths, and bring cheer to the people who get the chance to enjoy their routines. No matter what the future holds, this cheering squad continues to live up to its goal: “We aspire to inspire before we expire.” 4. Why is Sun City Poms distinct from other groups?

B. It accepts retired women of the USA.
C. It’s made up of professional athletes.
D. Its members are energetic seniors.
5. Which is unnecessary for a person to join the cheering squad?

6. What can we mainly draw from paragraph 4?

C. The members are much bothered by aging.
D. The women devote all their time to the team.

Do you feel uncomfortable at the sound of a fork scratching a plate or tremble when someone chews or sniffs loudly? Many people find these noises annoying, but one in five UK adults suffer from misophonia (恐音症),a disorder in which people feel strong emotional responses to certain sounds, feeling angry, distressed or even, for some, unable to function in social or work settings as a result.
Scientists at the University of Oxford have been looking into how sounds affect people differently. They took a sample of 772 people—of all different ages and backgrounds—and played them 37 sounds that many people find irritating. These include chewing, coughing, dogs barking, sniffing repeatedly and slurping.
The people taking part in the study filled in a survey that included statements or questions about how certain noises made them feel. This showed that for some people, certain sounds made them feel helpless and anxious. However, 81.4% of people found the same common noises annoying but they didn’t produce such extreme reactions.
As part of the study, psychologists interviewed several of the people in the survey who believed that they had misophonia. They asked these people more detailed questions about their reactions to noises focusing on whether it stopped them from going out to work or seeing their friends. This helped the researchers to work out who has misophonia.
The scientists said that feeling irritated by a sound is normal but people who suffered from misophonia felt angry or panicked. People who have it badly can find it affects their life because they are afraid of hearing a noise that makes them uncomfortable and upset and not being able to escape it. They can also feel shame or embarrassment about being so bothered.
Only 14% of the people in the study had heard of misophonia. It was identified in 2001 but was only acknowledged as a disorder in 2022. The researchers hope that the study will raise awareness of misophonia and help people who have the condition.
8. What do we know about misophonia?
A. It is very universal in UK. B. It is easy to be diagnosed.
C. It may result in social barriers. D. It was thoroughly accepted in 2001.
9. How did the researchers carry out the research?
A. By making a comparison. B. By citing previous conclusions.
C. By collecting detailed data. D. By asking and answering questions.
10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. It’s abnormal for one to feel annoyed by sound.
B. People can hardly be affected by misophonia.
C. People surveyed all know about misophonia.
D. Hopefully people with misophonia will get benefits.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Sounds may do harm to body and mind
B. People have positive reactions to noises
C. Misophonia affects one in five UK adults
D. Misophonia greatly dominates emotions
D
Up to 1 million species are at risk of extinction because of human activities. Climate change, development, pollution, overfishing and hunting are all driving the crisis. However, roads are now considered to be at the top of those factors according to a new report.
It’s estimated that as many as 1 million animals are killed on U.S. roads every day. A recent report identified 21 federally endangered species that are being directly threatened by our roads. “There’s not much land that’s not affected in some way by roads and traffic,” said Marcel Huijser, a road ecologist. For many species and people, the impact is quite direct. But roads can also kill in more subtle ways, destroying habitat on either side of their path and blocking movement. Along Highway 101, in Southern California, the latter is driving extinction.
Last year, mountain lion researchers started noticing something troubling in these big cats. Mountain lions were seen with kinked(扭结的)tails. Audra Huffmeyer, a researcher at California University, went a step further, completing the body analyses for five dead male lions. “All five individuals we sampled showed signs of reduced reproduction,” she said.
The findings were the first documented reproductive signs of inbreeding (近亲繁殖) in the area’s long-isolated lions. These mountain lions, restricted in the 40-mile long mountain range, were producing their later generations with close relatives. They had been for some time.
It wasn’t a surprise. Researchers had watched mountain lions approach Highway 101, intending to cross from the Santa Monica Mountains to more habitats to the north, only to stop and turn around, scared off by the noise of the road.
“It definitely increases the urgency of doing something about it,” Huffmeyer said. The wildlife crossing at Liberty Canyon should help. It’s being designed to give mountain lions and other species a precious escape route, connecting isolated populations in the Santa Monica Mountains with the larger world.
12. What do we know about species extinction from paragraph 1?
A. Every species will eventually go extinct.
B. Most people don’t realize the impact of species extinction.
C. One million species have been extinct due to human activities.
D. Both natural and human factors drive a number of species to extinction.
13. What does the underlined word “subtle”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Flexible. B. Unnoticeable. C. Obvious. D. Convenient.
14. Why does the author mention mountain lions with kinked tails?
A. To introduce a new species.
B. To stress the shortage of food.
C. To show the limited movement of animals by roads.
D. To draw attention to the gender imbalance in animals.
15. What’s the purpose of the wildlife crossing at Liberty Canyon?
A. To provide wildlife with access across the areas.
B. To improve the efficiency of wildlife rescue.
C. To keep people from killing wild animals.
D. To allow people to keep close contact with wildlife.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading corner, ignoring the world around you, absorbed in a tale. You read the brief introduction, instantly became interested, and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner (爱不释手的书). But, there’s a hot debate—physical books vs. audiobooks. 16 Does the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book?
Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s reading fluency, reasoning, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. 17
Now, let’s look at the advantages to reading with your eyes—that’s physical books. 18
This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders.
On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film—in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy (共鸣) as you hear the emotion of the narrator. 19 You can more easily understand the development of plots.
20 Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience.
A. Is listening to a book better than reading it?
B. They can help to memorize information better.
C. As a result, many books have become audio books.
D. The intonations of the voice can guide you through the story.
E. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits.
F. All in all, there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks.
G. An increasing number of people are attaching great importance to reading.

It was a sunny summer day in Brooksville, where a 19-year-old girl named Cindy was packing for her trip to go hiking with her dog, Ruffles. Ruffles was a Golden Retriever with smooth, silky fur as gold as honey. Cindy had black, straight hair and ocean blue eyes. She had been planning to go hiking for the second time in her life. The first time went well, she walked through the forests with her friends Julia and Rachel.
Anyway, she was packing plenty of water, juice, a cap and sunglasses for the sun. She grabbed a black leash and called out to Ruffles. They were ready to start their trip. Cindy drove about an hour to go to her destination, which was luckily pretty empty. She parked her silver car and grabbed her backpack, and off she went with Ruffles.
“Oh, how lovely the sun looks today!” Cindy said. The sun was bright and was beaming through the forest’s trees. The trees were nice and tall and also very green. She walked for about five minutes and was enjoying the warm light wind. “Ah, how relaxed I feel. Don’t you think?” she asked Ruffles. Ruffles replied with a bark.
Cindy was searching for the perfect spot to get a better view of the beautiful place she was at. She wanted to get a beautiful picture. So, she hiked some more until she got a good view; then she took a picture with her iPhone. The view was very far down from where she was walking; it had a gorgeous blue river near some trees. She got a picture of that and kept hiking.
What she didn’t realize while she was taking a picture of her view was that there was a pathway leading to the river and Ruffles had gone down there for a swim. She ran down the pathway to Ruffles. “Ruffles! Ruffles!!” she yelled.” Get over here; you’re not supposed to be in there!” She cried. Ruffles swam even farther.
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。
Cindy had to hike on without Ruffles.
Suddenly, it started to rain.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Cindy had to hike on without Ruffles. She left him swimming in the river and thought he would know she was gone. She then hiked for a few minutes when a sweet smell came to her. Looking around, she saw a number of red flowers a short distance away. She was attracted and went there immediately. They were wild beautiful roses, above which bees were buzzing and some colored butterflies were flying. Cindy was busy taking pictures when she felt a cold breeze and a drop of water.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, it started to rain. A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by thunder. The feeling of fear sent a chill down her back, her mind blank and her face pale as a chalk. Suddenly Cindy heard barks from the distance drawing near. It was Ruffles. He ran to Cindy as fast as his legs could carry him. Their reunion put Cindy at ease. Led by Ruffles, Cindy felt her way out of the forest to the car. Eventually, the sun was bright and beaming through the trees again.

Do you feel uncomfortable at the sound of a fork scratching a plate or tremble when someone chews or sniffs loudly? Many people find these noises annoying, but one in five UK adults suffer from misophonia (恐音症),a disorder in which people feel strong emotional responses to certain sounds, feeling angry, distressed or even, for some, unable to function in social or work settings as a result.
Scientists at the University of Oxford have been looking into how sounds affect people differently. They took a sample of 772 people—of all different ages and backgrounds—and played them 37 sounds that many people find irritating. These include chewing, coughing, dogs barking, sniffing repeatedly and slurping.
The people taking part in the study filled in a survey that included statements or questions about how certain noises made them feel. This showed that for some people, certain sounds made them feel helpless and anxious. However, 81.4% of people found the same common noises annoying but they didn’t produce such extreme reactions.
As part of the study, psychologists interviewed several of the people in the survey who believed that they had misophonia. They asked these people more detailed questions about their reactions to noises focusing on whether it stopped them from going out to work or seeing their friends. This helped the researchers to work out who has misophonia.
The scientists said that feeling irritated by a sound is normal but people who suffered from misophonia felt angry or panicked. People who have it badly can find it affects their life because they are afraid of hearing a noise that makes them uncomfortable and upset and not being able to escape it. They can also feel shame or embarrassment about being so bothered.
Only 14% of the people in the study had heard of misophonia. It was identified in 2001 but was only acknowledged as a disorder in 2022. The researchers hope that the study will raise awareness of misophonia and help people who have the condition.
8. What do we know about misophonia?
A. It is very universal in UK. B. It is easy to be diagnosed.
C. It may result in social barriers. D. It was thoroughly accepted in 2001.
9. How did the researchers carry out the research?
A. By making a comparison. B. By citing previous conclusions.
C. By collecting detailed data. D. By asking and answering questions.
10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. It’s abnormal for one to feel annoyed by sound.
B. People can hardly be affected by misophonia.
C. People surveyed all know about misophonia.
D. Hopefully people with misophonia will get benefits.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Sounds may do harm to body and mind
B. People have positive reactions to noises
C. Misophonia affects one in five UK adults
D. Misophonia greatly dominates emotions
D
Up to 1 million species are at risk of extinction because of human activities. Climate change, development, pollution, overfishing and hunting are all driving the crisis. However, roads are now considered to be at the top of those factors according to a new report.
It’s estimated that as many as 1 million animals are killed on U.S. roads every day. A recent report identified 21 federally endangered species that are being directly threatened by our roads. “There’s not much land that’s not affected in some way by roads and traffic,” said Marcel Huijser, a road ecologist. For many species and people, the impact is quite direct. But roads can also kill in more subtle ways, destroying habitat on either side of their path and blocking movement. Along Highway 101, in Southern California, the latter is driving extinction.
Last year, mountain lion researchers started noticing something troubling in these big cats. Mountain lions were seen with kinked(扭结的)tails. Audra Huffmeyer, a researcher at California University, went a step further, completing the body analyses for five dead male lions. “All five individuals we sampled showed signs of reduced reproduction,” she said.
The findings were the first documented reproductive signs of inbreeding (近亲繁殖) in the area’s long-isolated lions. These mountain lions, restricted in the 40-mile long mountain range, were producing their later generations with close relatives. They had been for some time.
It wasn’t a surprise. Researchers had watched mountain lions approach Highway 101, intending to cross from the Santa Monica Mountains to more habitats to the north, only to stop and turn around, scared off by the noise of the road.
“It definitely increases the urgency of doing something about it,” Huffmeyer said. The wildlife crossing at Liberty Canyon should help. It’s being designed to give mountain lions and other species a precious escape route, connecting isolated populations in the Santa Monica Mountains with the larger world.
12. What do we know about species extinction from paragraph 1?
A. Every species will eventually go extinct.
B. Most people don’t realize the impact of species extinction.
C. One million species have been extinct due to human activities.
D. Both natural and human factors drive a number of species to extinction.
13. What does the underlined word “subtle”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Flexible. B. Unnoticeable. C. Obvious. D. Convenient.
14. Why does the author mention mountain lions with kinked tails?
A. To introduce a new species.
B. To stress the shortage of food.
C. To show the limited movement of animals by roads.
D. To draw attention to the gender imbalance in animals.
15. What’s the purpose of the wildlife crossing at Liberty Canyon?
A. To provide wildlife with access across the areas.
B. To improve the efficiency of wildlife rescue.
C. To keep people from killing wild animals.
D. To allow people to keep close contact with wildlife.

Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading corner, ignoring the world around you, absorbed in a tale. You read the brief introduction, instantly became interested, and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner (爱不释手的书). But, there’s a hot debate—physical books vs. audiobooks. 16 Does the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book?
Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s reading fluency, reasoning, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. 17
Now, let’s look at the advantages to reading with your eyes—that’s physical books. 18
This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders.
On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film—in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy (共鸣) as you hear the emotion of the narrator. 19 You can more easily understand the development of plots.
20 Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience.
A. Is listening to a book better than reading it?
B. They can help to memorize information better.
C. As a result, many books have become audio books.
D. The intonations of the voice can guide you through the story.
E. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits.
F. All in all, there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks.
G. An increasing number of people are attaching great importance to reading.

It was a sunny summer day in Brooksville, where a 19-year-old girl named Cindy was packing for her trip to go hiking with her dog, Ruffles. Ruffles was a Golden Retriever with smooth, silky fur as gold as honey. Cindy had black, straight hair and ocean blue eyes. She had been planning to go hiking for the second time in her life. The first time went well, she walked through the forests with her friends Julia and Rachel.
Anyway, she was packing plenty of water, juice, a cap and sunglasses for the sun. She grabbed a black leash and called out to Ruffles. They were ready to start their trip. Cindy drove about an hour to go to her destination, which was luckily pretty empty. She parked her silver car and grabbed her backpack, and off she went with Ruffles.
“Oh, how lovely the sun looks today!” Cindy said. The sun was bright and was beaming through the forest’s trees. The trees were nice and tall and also very green. She walked for about five minutes and was enjoying the warm light wind. “Ah, how relaxed I feel. Don’t you think?” she asked Ruffles. Ruffles replied with a bark.
Cindy was searching for the perfect spot to get a better view of the beautiful place she was at. She wanted to get a beautiful picture. So, she hiked some more until she got a good view; then she took a picture with her iPhone. The view was very far down from where she was walking; it had a gorgeous blue river near some trees. She got a picture of that and kept hiking.
What she didn’t realize while she was taking a picture of her view was that there was a pathway leading to the river and Ruffles had gone down there for a swim. She ran down the pathway to Ruffles. “Ruffles! Ruffles!!” she yelled.” Get over here; you’re not supposed to be in there!” She cried. Ruffles swam even farther.
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。
Cindy had to hike on without Ruffles.
Suddenly, it started to rain.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Cindy had to hike on without Ruffles. She left him swimming in the river and thought he would know she was gone. She then hiked for a few minutes when a sweet smell came to her. Looking around, she saw a number of red flowers a short distance away. She was attracted and went there immediately. They were wild beautiful roses, above which bees were buzzing and some colored butterflies were flying. Cindy was busy taking pictures when she felt a cold breeze and a drop of water.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, it started to rain. A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by thunder. The feeling of fear sent a chill down her back, her mind blank and her face pale as a chalk. Suddenly Cindy heard barks from the distance drawing near. It was Ruffles. He ran to Cindy as fast as his legs could carry him. Their reunion put Cindy at ease. Led by Ruffles, Cindy felt her way out of the forest to the car. Eventually, the sun was bright and beaming through the trees again.
