After years f punding my knees and ankles in dashes and the lng jump, pain ended my decades f track and field cmpetitin. But hw d yu live withut the adrenaline（肾上腺素）f racing? That’s simple. Yu just becme sensible at age sixty and turn t cmpetitive swimming! Suddenly, the punding was gne, and s was the pain. Hwever, in less than a mnth, I was fed up with pl laps and n sights. Nw what?
A friend in the Annaplis Striders had the answer. This marathner said he had stayed fit by intense walking while healing frm a running injury. “Try it,” he said. “It’s even a cmpetitive sprt.” Sure enugh, a certain kind f energetic walking is a 100-year-ld Olympic event called racewalking.
I tk t this sprt immediately. I didn’t have t enter races t be a racewalker. Hwever, thse wh cmpete must fllw rules and must please numerus hard-eyed judges r be disqualified（DQ）. But fr me, ding it was enugh. It tk me many mnths t becme smth in the style. I had lst a sprt but had fund anther.
Then came a disaster. Lwer back pain had arrived. “Surgery is a last slutin,” I was tld. Dr. Cliffrd Slmn, super-surgen f Annaplis, Maryland, had the cure. It left me with full leg cntrl, but a flpping（耷拉的）ft. I wuld be able t jg, but nt meet racewalk rules. By chance I tuned the TV t an ld mvie shwing Fred Astaire dancing up a strm. Frm the ankle dwn, his feet swiveled（旋转）in the very mtin I needed. I turned ff the TV and went t the Senir Center.
As the nly man amng twenty-nine students in the tap dancing class I learned that grandmthers are prgrammed t care fr any wunded creature. Sme paid particular attentin t this seventy-five-year-ld patient, staying after class t guide and inspire. With examples, humr, encuragement and advice, they taught me t tap dance. They cured my flpping ft.
Within a year, I was cmpeting well enugh t enter the USA Track and Field Natinals in Bstn and break the American recrd fr the 3,000- meter racewalk. And nw, at eighty-six, I’m still cmpeting and ften thinking f thse ladies.
24. Why did the authr stp swimming?
A. He culdn’t bear the pain any lnger.
B. He lst the ability t cmpete with thers.
C. He culdn’t adjust adrenaline t nrmal levels.
D. He was bred with it and culdn’t enjy scenery.
25. What did the authr spend many mnths ding?
A. Visiting lts f strict judges. B. Perfecting his racewalking techniques.
C. Cmpeting in racewalking events. D. Searching fr alternatives t running.
26. What des the authr want t stress in paragraph 5?
A. He was the nly ne in need f care.
B. He engaged in diverse after-class activities.
C. He received the female classmates’ kindness.
D. The class was mstly cmprised f elderly students.
27. Which f the fllwing can best describe the authr?
A. Determined and cnventinal. B. Energetic and adventurus.
C. Cmmitted and reliable. D. Respnsible and curageus.
C
Time ff is a treasure, but peple ften have t wrk practically twice as hard t prepare fr it. There are prjects t get ahead n, meetings t have abut hw t d tasks that yu usually handle, requests t field frm c-wrkers wh knw they sn wn’t be able t reach yu.
Sme f the pressure that leads t the last- minute crunch may be cming frm a desire nt t leave tasks unfinished. Accrding t Laura Giurge, a behaviral-science prfessr at the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics, many wrkers feel as thugh they must cnquer their entire t-d list in rder t be cut ff frm wrk and enjy their vacatin. “We think we need t finish all the things befre hlidays,” Giurge tld me, “but then we ask, ‘When des it actually need t be finished? ‘ And it turns ut, prbably tw mnths frm nw.”
Anther cntributr t the pre-vacatin pileup is a mre general time-management phenmenn knwn as “deadline rush”-the idea that peple tackle many tasks shrtly befre they need t be cmpleted. With the single deadline f a vacatin clsing in n varius tasks, sme last-minute stress isn’t unusual.
Surely sme f this urge t cmplete everything is a symptm f a culture that says peple must first wrk in rder t, as Giurge put it, be “deserving” f leisure. But sme f it is psychlgical-having unfinished tasks can be mentally anxius. In the wrds f ne academic paper, it can “cause an inner tensin, riginating frm the need fr clsure.”
And Giurge suggested a fix inspired by smething she’d recently heard while cnducting a research study at a cmpany. In an interview, ne f the wrkers tld Giurge that, in rder t create unbrken time t catch up n imprtant wrk tasks, they canceled the last tw days f their trip but didn’t tell any c-wrkers.
T avid the kind f pressure that wuld make smene cut their vacatin shrt just t catch up n missins befre fficially returning t wrk, maybe, Giurge thught, it wuld be helpful t have an fficial day n either end f a lng vacatin that’s blcked ff fr easing int and ut f time ff.
28. What des the underlined wrd “crunch” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Unpleasant situatin. B. Inner desire.
C. Strict requirement. D. Quality time.
29. Why d peple ften feel stressed befre the vacatin?
A. They are frightened f tasks piling up.
B. They feel ashamed having tasks unfinished.
C. They prefer finishing everything t enjy the vacatin.
D. They are requested t cmplete the tasks as scheduled.
30. What’s Giurge’s attitude twards the pre-vacatin pileup?
A. Wrried. B. Negative.
C. Favrable. D. Uninterested.
31. Hw can we ease the pressure accrding t the last paragraph?
A. We can fix an extra day t adapt t the wrk schedule.
B. We can imprve ur wrk efficiency thrugh practice.
C. We can use the vacatin t catch up n missins.
D. We can finish the tasks after the vacatin quickly.

While humans may think f agriculture as a uniquely human achievement, ants have been farming their wn fd fr millins f years, a new study has revealed. Researchers fund that ants began farming fungi（真菌）66 millin years ag, arund the time an asterid（小行星）struck Earth and caused a glbal mass extinctin.
While the mass extinctin was destructive fr many species, including dinsaurs, it presented an pprtunity fr fungi. With plentiful rtten plant matter n the grund, ants develped an evlutinary partnership with fungi that still endures tday. Over time, this relatinship grew strnger, with ants imprving their agricultural practices and develping advanced methds 27 millin years ag, a prcess similar t the dmesticatin f crps by humans. “Ants have been practicing agriculture and fungus farming fr much lnger than humans have existed,” Ted Schultz, lead authr f the new paper, said in a statement. “We culd prbably learn smething frm the agricultural success f these ants ver the past 66 millin years.” Fungi-farming ants are particularly diverse in the Americas and the Caribbean, with nearly 250 different species engaged in this practice.
The research, published in the jurnal Science, analyzed genetic data frm hundreds f an t and fungi species t create detailed evlutinary trees. These genetic timelines played an imprtant rle in revealing the evlutin f ants’ agricultural techniques. The study builds n Schultz’s 35 years f research int ant-fungus relatinships, during which he and his team cllected thusands f genetic samples frm Central and Suth America. By cmparing wild fungal species with ants’ dmesticated fungus, the researchers determined that ants have been farming fungi since shrtly after the asterid impact.
The ants have bacteria that can prduce antibitics（抗生素）t fight ff diseases attacking their fungi. “Smehw, ver the curse f 66 millin years, they’ve been able t cntinue t cntrl crp disease and develp antibitics that cntinue t be effective,” Schultz tld Newsweek. “We’ve nly been using antibitics fr less than100 years and we have majr prblems keeping up with resistance and develping new antibitics.”
32. What can be inferred frm paragraph 2?
A. Ants began t c-exist with fungi 27 millin years ag.
B. Arund 250 species f ants wrldwide tk part in fungi farming.
C. Ants used mre advanced ways f practicing agriculture than humans.
D. Dead plant matter prvided cnditins fr fungi t expand.
33. What des paragraph 3 mainly fcus n?
A. The methds in the research prcess. B. The research findings n fungi farming.
C. The analysis f the genetic timeline. D. The impact f the asterid event.
34. Which statement wuld Schultz prbably agree with?
A. Human histry is much lnger than that f ant agriculture.
B. The antibitics prduced by ants culd be used t treat humans.
C. Further study culd be fcused n hw t keep antibitics effective.
D. It’s meaningless fr humans t fllw ants’ success stry in farming.
35. What’s the best title fr this text?
A. Ants are smarter than humans
B. Agriculture isn’t unique t humans
C. Ants prvided slutins fr human farming
D. Ants mastered agriculture lng befre humans

40 : Brain farts are mre likely t happen when yu are tired, s strive t get enugh rest each night. “Priritizing sleep is super imprtant; a well-rested brain is sharper and less prne（易于）t errrs,” Dr. Fenkel says.

【读后续写】
本文讲述的是爸爸有两张大型篮球比赛的门票，但只能选择带三个孩子中的其中一个观看比赛。那么什么样的方式才能最公平地选出最值得去的孩子呢? 第二天爸爸和妈妈一大早就出去了，让孩子们完成家务。两个男孩都去打篮球了，只有作者认真地打扫。最终她在丢垃圾时，在垃圾箱盖子里面发现了一个信封。主题围绕责任与成长的话题即可。
第一段主要写作者收拾早餐残局，打扫屋子，去倒垃圾。第二段主要写作者在垃圾桶盖的内侧发现了信封，信封里或装有门票，或有可以得到门票的便条、卡片等。印证了前文谁是最值得去的孩子—就是做家务的孩子。

After years f punding my knees and ankles in dashes and the lng jump, pain ended my decades f track and field cmpetitin. But hw d yu live withut the adrenaline（肾上腺素）f racing? That’s simple. Yu just becme sensible at age sixty and turn t cmpetitive swimming! Suddenly, the punding was gne, and s was the pain. Hwever, in less than a mnth, I was fed up with pl laps and n sights. Nw what?
A friend in the Annaplis Striders had the answer. This marathner said he had stayed fit by intense walking while healing frm a running injury. “Try it,” he said. “It’s even a cmpetitive sprt.” Sure enugh, a certain kind f energetic walking is a 100-year-ld Olympic event called racewalking.
I tk t this sprt immediately. I didn’t have t enter races t be a racewalker. Hwever, thse wh cmpete must fllw rules and must please numerus hard-eyed judges r be disqualified（DQ）. But fr me, ding it was enugh. It tk me many mnths t becme smth in the style. I had lst a sprt but had fund anther.
Then came a disaster. Lwer back pain had arrived. “Surgery is a last slutin,” I was tld. Dr. Cliffrd Slmn, super-surgen f Annaplis, Maryland, had the cure. It left me with full leg cntrl, but a flpping（耷拉的）ft. I wuld be able t jg, but nt meet racewalk rules. By chance I tuned the TV t an ld mvie shwing Fred Astaire dancing up a strm. Frm the ankle dwn, his feet swiveled（旋转）in the very mtin I needed. I turned ff the TV and went t the Senir Center.
As the nly man amng twenty-nine students in the tap dancing class I learned that grandmthers are prgrammed t care fr any wunded creature. Sme paid particular attentin t this seventy-five-year-ld patient, staying after class t guide and inspire. With examples, humr, encuragement and advice, they taught me t tap dance. They cured my flpping ft.
Within a year, I was cmpeting well enugh t enter the USA Track and Field Natinals in Bstn and break the American recrd fr the 3,000- meter racewalk. And nw, at eighty-six, I’m still cmpeting and ften thinking f thse ladies.

Time ff is a treasure, but peple ften have t wrk practically twice as hard t prepare fr it. There are prjects t get ahead n, meetings t have abut hw t d tasks that yu usually handle, requests t field frm c-wrkers wh knw they sn wn’t be able t reach yu.
Sme f the pressure that leads t the last- minute crunch may be cming frm a desire nt t leave tasks unfinished. Accrding t Laura Giurge, a behaviral-science prfessr at the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics, many wrkers feel as thugh they must cnquer their entire t-d list in rder t be cut ff frm wrk and enjy their vacatin. “We think we need t finish all the things befre hlidays,” Giurge tld me, “but then we ask, ‘When des it actually need t be finished? ‘ And it turns ut, prbably tw mnths frm nw.”
Anther cntributr t the pre-vacatin pileup is a mre general time-management phenmenn knwn as “deadline rush”-the idea that peple tackle many tasks shrtly befre they need t be cmpleted. With the single deadline f a vacatin clsing in n varius tasks, sme last-minute stress isn’t unusual.
Surely sme f this urge t cmplete everything is a symptm f a culture that says peple must first wrk in rder t, as Giurge put it, be “deserving” f leisure. But sme f it is psychlgical-having unfinished tasks can be mentally anxius. In the wrds f ne academic paper, it can “cause an inner tensin, riginating frm the need fr clsure.”
And Giurge suggested a fix inspired by smething she’d recently heard while cnducting a research study at a cmpany. In an interview, ne f the wrkers tld Giurge that, in rder t create unbrken time t catch up n imprtant wrk tasks, they canceled the last tw days f their trip but didn’t tell any c-wrkers.
T avid the kind f pressure that wuld make smene cut their vacatin shrt just t catch up n missins befre fficially returning t wrk, maybe, Giurge thught, it wuld be helpful t have an fficial day n either end f a lng vacatin that’s blcked ff fr easing int and ut f time ff.
28. What des the underlined wrd “crunch” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Unpleasant situatin. B. Inner desire.
C. Strict requirement. D. Quality time.
29. Why d peple ften feel stressed befre the vacatin?
A. They are frightened f tasks piling up.
B. They feel ashamed having tasks unfinished.
C. They prefer finishing everything t enjy the vacatin.
D. They are requested t cmplete the tasks as scheduled.
30. What’s Giurge’s attitude twards the pre-vacatin pileup?
A. Wrried. B. Negative.
C. Favrable. D. Uninterested.
31. Hw can we ease the pressure accrding t the last paragraph?
A. We can fix an extra day t adapt t the wrk schedule.
B. We can imprve ur wrk efficiency thrugh practice.
C. We can use the vacatin t catch up n missins.
D. We can finish the tasks after the vacatin quickly.

While humans may think f agriculture as a uniquely human achievement, ants have been farming their wn fd fr millins f years, a new study has revealed. Researchers fund that ants began farming fungi（真菌）66 millin years ag, arund the time an asterid（小行星）struck Earth and caused a glbal mass extinctin.
While the mass extinctin was destructive fr many species, including dinsaurs, it presented an pprtunity fr fungi. With plentiful rtten plant matter n the grund, ants develped an evlutinary partnership with fungi that still endures tday. Over time, this relatinship grew strnger, with ants imprving their agricultural practices and develping advanced methds 27 millin years ag, a prcess similar t the dmesticatin f crps by humans. “Ants have been practicing agriculture and fungus farming fr much lnger than humans have existed,” Ted Schultz, lead authr f the new paper, said in a statement. “We culd prbably learn smething frm the agricultural success f these ants ver the past 66 millin years.” Fungi-farming ants are particularly diverse in the Americas and the Caribbean, with nearly 250 different species engaged in this practice.
The research, published in the jurnal Science, analyzed genetic data frm hundreds f an t and fungi species t create detailed evlutinary trees. These genetic timelines played an imprtant rle in revealing the evlutin f ants’ agricultural techniques. The study builds n Schultz’s 35 years f research int ant-fungus relatinships, during which he and his team cllected thusands f genetic samples frm Central and Suth America. By cmparing wild fungal species with ants’ dmesticated fungus, the researchers determined that ants have been farming fungi since shrtly after the asterid impact.
The ants have bacteria that can prduce antibitics（抗生素）t fight ff diseases attacking their fungi. “Smehw, ver the curse f 66 millin years, they’ve been able t cntinue t cntrl crp disease and develp antibitics that cntinue t be effective,” Schultz tld Newsweek. “We’ve nly been using antibitics fr less than100 years and we have majr prblems keeping up with resistance and develping new antibitics.”
32. What can be inferred frm paragraph 2?
A. Ants began t c-exist with fungi 27 millin years ag.
B. Arund 250 species f ants wrldwide tk part in fungi farming.
C. Ants used mre advanced ways f practicing agriculture than humans.
D. Dead plant matter prvided cnditins fr fungi t expand.
33. What des paragraph 3 mainly fcus n?
A. The methds in the research prcess. B. The research findings n fungi farming.
C. The analysis f the genetic timeline. D. The impact f the asterid event.
34. Which statement wuld Schultz prbably agree with?
A. Human histry is much lnger than that f ant agriculture.
B. The antibitics prduced by ants culd be used t treat humans.
C. Further study culd be fcused n hw t keep antibitics effective.
D. It’s meaningless fr humans t fllw ants’ success stry in farming.
35. What’s the best title fr this text?
A. Ants are smarter than humans
B. Agriculture isn’t unique t humans
C. Ants prvided slutins fr human farming
D. Ants mastered agriculture lng befre humans

【读后续写】
本文讲述的是爸爸有两张大型篮球比赛的门票，但只能选择带三个孩子中的其中一个观看比赛。那么什么样的方式才能最公平地选出最值得去的孩子呢? 第二天爸爸和妈妈一大早就出去了，让孩子们完成家务。两个男孩都去打篮球了，只有作者认真地打扫。最终她在丢垃圾时，在垃圾箱盖子里面发现了一个信封。主题围绕责任与成长的话题即可。
第一段主要写作者收拾早餐残局，打扫屋子，去倒垃圾。第二段主要写作者在垃圾桶盖的内侧发现了信封，信封里或装有门票，或有可以得到门票的便条、卡片等。印证了前文谁是最值得去的孩子—就是做家务的孩子。
