Photographer Rebecca Douglas has always been crazy about the night sky. Her love of the stars has taken the UK resident on “star walking” trips to Iceland and into the Arctic. For nature lovers like Douglas star walking turns out to be a good way to enjoy life.
Hiking at night isn’t uncommon. Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch sun rise from a mountaintop. Star walking goes a step further by mixing hiking with stargazing. Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard, star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.
“An observatory can never take the place of getting out into a rural landscape under a blanket of stars,” says Gary Lintern of Stargazing Nights in Durham, England, who leads guided nighttime hikes. “It’s a magical experience, and I enjoy sharing it, especially at some of my favorite locations, like the High Force Waterfall, England’s largest waterfall, in Teesdale.”
There are plenty of studies that show the health benefits of being in nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors, particularly while engaging in activities that involve “effortless attention”, can decrease blood pressure, heart rale, and stress levels. Walking at night has the added benefit of improving sleep, which is important for overall health, says Christina Pierpaoli Parker, a behavioral sleep researcher at the University of Alabama. Parker says that star walking works on two physiological processes that determine sleep quality. “Movement and exercise, such as relaxing stargazing walks outside, may facilitate sleep,” she says.
Lintern advises reading up on the night sky before setting out. Free mobile apps, such as Star Walk 2, can help identify celestial bodies and are easy to use—simply point your phones at the sky to get a map. Websites like Sky & Telescope and NASA’s Space Place cover the basics, have in-depth explanations forconstellations (星座), and offer advice on gear and equipment.
At the end of the day. the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.
4. Why did Douglas go to lceland?
A. To take photos there. B. To enjoy the night sky there.
C. To experience daily life there. D. To search for an observatory there.
5. What can we know about star walking?
A. It is a combination of hiking and stargazing. B. It is similar to stargazing at an observatory.
C. It only requires a telescope in your backyard. D. It becomes more popular because of Gray Lintern.
6. What does the underlined word “facilitate” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Slow. B. Worsen. C. Prevent. D. Promote.
7. What’s the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. Some useful mobile apps. B. Famous websites about hiking.
C. Proper suggestions on star walking. D. Basic knowledge of equipment for stargazing.
C
Katherine Rooks, a Denver-based writer, had sent her son a text message about coming home from school “I could tell from his response that he became upset suddenly in our thread. And when he came home, he came over and said, ‘What did you mean by this?’ “Rooks was confused.” So we looked at the text together and I said, “Well, I meant, see you later, or something. I don ‘t remember exactly what it said.’ And he said, ‘But you ended with a full stop! I thought you were really angry!”Rooks wasn’t angry, and she explained to her son that, well, periods are how you end a sentence.
But in text-messaging—at least for younger adult--periods do more than just end a sentence: they also can set a tone. Gretchen McCulloch, a linguist, said that when it comes to text-messaging, the period has lost its original purpose. But that doesn’t mean the period has lost all the purposes in text-messaging. Now it can be used to indicate seriousness or a sense of finality. “But caution is needed,” said McCulloch, noting that problems can start to arise when you combine a period with a positive emotion, like “sure” or “sounds good”.
A period can accidentally set a tone. A recent study conducted by Binghamton University psychology professor Celia Klin confirmed this. Researchers asked undergraduates to evaluate a text exchange that included an innocent question and the answer “Yes”. Some saw “Yes” with a period and some saw the word without. They found consistently through many experiments that “Yes” with a period resulted in responses that were more negative. So people thought “Yes” with a period was less friendly, less sincere, and so on.“I really don’t like getting text messages that end in periods because it always feels so passive-aggressive,” said Juan Abenante Rincon, 24, a social media manager for Adidas. “Like, are you mad? What’s going on? Like, did I do something wrong?”
Klin said this demonstrates language is constantly changing. “Language evolution has happened; it’ll continue to happen, and isn’t it great that we’re so linguistically flexible and creative?”
8. Why does the text begin with Katherine’s conflict with her son?
A. To lead in the use of period in texting. B. To emphasize the great power of words.
C. To show youngsters’ attitudes towards texting. D. To suggest the right use of punctuation marks.
9. Why is Juan Abenante Rincon mentioned in the text?
A. To make assessments on the recent study. B. To confirm the findings of the recent study.
C. To put forward doubts about the recent study. D. To show great opposition for the recent study.
10. What is Celia Klin’s attitude towards the changes in the meanings of full stops?
A. Disapproving. B. Conservative. C. Worried. D. Positive.
11 What can be the suitable title of the passage?
A. Full Stops: Be Original B. Full Stops: Be Cautious
C. Language Evolution: Be Flexible D. Language Evolution: Be Consistent
D
On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This made Musk think a lot—how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope (坡) and fell over, breaking his neck.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to save money on groceries, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “It’s not difficult. Anyone can do this, no matter where you come from, no matter where you live. We are all able to grow something,” says Musk.
12. What inspired Musk to make a difference to food industry?
A. The pandemic. B. A skiing accident.
C. Jamie Oliver’s speech. D. The farm-to-table movement.
13. What is a cause of people beginning gardening according to Musk?
A. To get access to healthy food.
B. To make their house beautiful.
C. To make money by selling garden produce.
D. To build up their strength during the pandemic.
14. What does the Million Gardens Movement focus on?
A. Encouraging people to preserve nature.
B. Providing free food for low-income families.
C. Promoting “learning gardens” across schools.
D. Educating new gardeners to grow their own food.
15. Which of the following best describes Musk?
A. Charity-minded. B. Stubborn. C. Easy-going. D. Scholarly.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The best way to learn new skills has been widely debated. In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell published Outliers, which introduced the so-called “10,000 hours rule” that states it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in a subject.
____16____Let’s break down what this involves.
You’re willing to learn from people you don’t like.
We tend to get annoyed with people who don’t share our view of the world.____17____That’s exactly why they offer opportunities to learn. You don’t need to buy into someone’s values about the world to learn from them and they can offer a new perspective.
____18____
Stick to one comfortable mode of learning is a bad idea. Master learners are willing to learn from lots of sources, including the following: technical dry books or manuals, YouTube or Instagram, calling or visiting people they don’t know, searching the internet and through friendships and social relationships.
You can reflect on your work and think outside of the box.
Master learners don’t just become good in their field. They think about what they learn in ways that aren’t focused on one topic. ____19____ They allow their minds to move in creative ways and connect seemingly diverse concepts and tools that other people don’t connect.
You approach learning with your learning objectives in mind.
I love learning about other people’s learning processes. I once watched a video made by a medical student who stopped going to lectures. She recognized that the lectures weren’t as efficient or effective as reading her own books.
Master learners don’t follow someone else’s learning plan. For example, they don’t use one learning app for hundreds of lessons without exploring other options. ____20____
A. You’re willing to try out different thinking styles.
B. You’re ready to learn through different modes and channels.
C. People who are different from us will tend to approach problems differently.
D. But from a psychological perspective, what makes someone a master learner?
E. They develop their own learning plan based on their specific learning objectives.
F. The smartest most creative people don’t rely solely on focus for getting things done.
G. To add to our learning, we’ll need to be willing to learn from people who we don’t personally like.

My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe?
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time?” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
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。
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.

【56题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Hua. It is such a great honor to stand here and give a speech to you today. The topic of my speech is sportsmanship.
The Olympic spirit/sportsmanship includes a mutual understanding between athletes, friendship, solidarity and fair play, which helps us honor our opponents, strengthen unity and promote friendship in fair competitions.
What impressed me most is the quality those Olympians possess. They go all out to achieve excellence and push the boundaries of human achievement.
I propose that we learn from these role models and keep sportsmanship in mind to pursue the same spirit of fair play and decency!

【57题答案】
【答案】 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night?” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!”
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.”
