Niu Yu, 24, became a shining star at Shanghai Fashion Week for her confident attitude while walking down the catwalk wearing a prosthetic leg, Niu has won many praises on social media — a hard hit for prejudice against disabled people.

“I was touched by something they said and agreed. They said that traditional views have always connected sports with healthy legs, but sports should be a kind of spirit. Even if I do not have a leg, I still deeply love sports and will do so forever,” Niu said in an interview.

Niu traveled to Shanghai for the event with her friend. Realizing that she was nervous about appearing on stage the next day, her friend reminded her of a message she received in 2020 from a 19-year-old fan who had also lost her right leg. In the message, the fan said she wanted to become a model one day and walk the catwalk during a fashion show. The reminder of the fan’s words “although we are not perfect, we are still pretty” renewed Niu’s confidence to take the catwalk.

After being trapped for three days during the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, Niu lost het right leg at 11. It was in 2018, when she registered to run a half marathon for the10th anniversary of the earthquake that she first caught the public’s attention. She finished the 13- mile event in 3 hours and 53 minutes, at times almost walking. But the time did not matter. It was her way of appreciating those who helped her recover from the earthquake and telling the world that it was all in the past.

Niu often uploads videos from her life on short video platforms such as Douyin, where she has more than 850, 000 followers. “China had 85 million disabled people in 2020. However, disabled people are seldom seen on the streets. I always thought about the reasons for this and then I realized it’s because they hide themselves.”

24．What did people traditionally think about sports?

A．Doing sports helps us to keep healthy. B．Sports is a spirit as well as a competition.

C．People can break down prejudice by sports. D．Only physically healthy people can do sports.

25．What helped Niu Yu get over nervousness on stage in Shanghai?

A．The encouragement from a fan. B．The friend’s company.

C．Her eagerness to stand on stage. D．Her determination and confidence.

26．Why did Niu Yu take part in the half marathon race?

A．To attract the attention from the public.

B．To express thanks to warm-hearted people.

C．To raise people’s awareness of self-protection.

D．To remind people about the earthquake in 2008.

27．Which words can best describe Niu Yu?

A．Creative and honest. B．Brave and positive.

C．Confident and patient. D．Graceful and outgoing

C

A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life; needed, at least one time, to become more fully adult. But no question, the experience can be painful, even destructive.

But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy(同理心) and the desire to connect with others — both roads through the prison of heartache and despair.

Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.

A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy, compassion(同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from the prison with yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.

Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” enhanced their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously embraced their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.

These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally — accepting reality as it is — activates healing and growth beyond it. In short, acknowledging your full experience arouses hope — another seeming paradox. For example, research from Cornell University, described here and published in Psychological Science, found that embracing discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, create motivation to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.

28. Which is NOT the benefit of listening to sad music?

A. Making you full of sadness.

B. Activating your feelings of empathy.

C. Healing your broken heart.

D. Giving you a desire to connect with others

29. How does the author mainly develop this passage?

A. By giving examples.

B. By telling experiences.

C. By presenting research findings.

D. By quoting a famous saying.

30. Who are most likely to be helped by the “beautiful but sad” music?

A. People who have a broken heart.

B. People who are suffering great pain.

C. People who accept their sadness.

D. People who like beautiful music.

31. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Listening to Music Brightening Your Life

B. Listening to Sad Music Healing Your Broken Heart

C. The Power and Beauty of Sad Music

D. A Study on Listening to Sad Music

D

Exercising with a friend is more motivating than going unaccompanied, according to new research. It also suggests interacting with active people can influence the sedentary to become more active.

The research was developed by a team led by Ensela Mema, PhD from Kean University in New Jersey. According to the researchers, the 2018 US. Department of Health and Human Services guidelines recommending the types and amounts of physical activity haven't inspired much improvement in daily exercise routines.

So, Mema and other researchers looked at previous research showing social interactions with contemporaries can play a key role in promoting physical activity within a community. They developed a mathematical model simulating(模拟) how social interactions can affect a population's exercise trends over time.

Using data from the US. Miliary Academy, the simulations showed populations with decreasing physical activity and sedentary behavior — always sitting and rarely moving — were most common in the absence of social interactions. However, when simulations included social interactions between sedentary and active people, they became more physically active in the long term.

“We have traditionally directed physical activity interventions by engaging sedentary individuals to become more active, ” Mema said. "Our model suggests that focusing on the active population to sustain their activity and increasing their interactions with sedentary people could stimulate higher levels of overall physical activity in the population. ”

Experts say there's not only an increased level of enjoyment with group exercise, there's also accountability, making it more likely that people show up and get results. Depending on the individual's personality, expectations, experience, and motivation, everyone can respond differently and uniquely to a more social exercise environment. Some individuals are more internally( 内在地)accountable, where they will never miss a commitment they make to themselves, and others are more externally accountable, where they are more likely to exercise when they have an external accountability system.

Whereas some individuals may feel competitive, that sense of competition can be friendly or serious. Others can compare themselves with others, which can either lower or increase confidence depending on the context.

32. What do the underlined words "the sedentary” in paragraph l refer to?

A. Sporty persons.              B. Inactive individuals.

C. Energetic youths.             D. Unconfident singles.

33. What may be the problem with the 2018 guidelines about physical activity?

A. They lacked necessary factual basis.

B. They were targeted at residents in communities.

C. Too many ways of exercise were recommended.

D. Social interactions' effect on exercise wasn't considered.

34. What did experts explain in paragraph 6?

A. Why group exercise is effective.

B. How to engage more people to exercise.

C. Why overall physical activity contributes to health.

D. How traditional interventions inspire people to be competitive.

35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Exercise More, Sit Less                B. Doing Workouts with a Partner Works

C. Communicating with People Benefits Your Health

D. Social Exercise Environment Strengthens Competitiveness

Protect the plants from wind. Wind can damage parts of the plants. It can also dry them out. Choose a location for your garden that has shelter from a building or make your own wind protection. ____39____.

I am keen to play basketball. As many friends can relate, I spend a lot of time ____41____ against others, and yet I see no ____42____. While one of my friends, a straight-A student, doesn’t seem to put in nearly as many hours as I do, yet he performs better. I recently asked him how he ____43____ it. His response:

“Maybe to be like top five in the world, you need some kind of inborn(天生的)talent ____44____ hard work. But putting in your hours of deliberate(特意的)practice into it will get you way farther than any natural talent.”

While there certainly is such a thing as ____45____, it’s more likely that the smart student does this thing called deliberate practice. If you’ve never ____46____ this before, it could be a life changer: not all hours you ____47____ practicing are equal. While you pulled an all-nighter looking ____48____ the textbook and doing every single practice problem, that girl who ____49____an A on the exam spent an hour every day a week before the exam.______50______she was working specifically on the topics that she knew she was having ______51______ with, rather than every single problem.

Deliberate practice is when you ______52______ your practice hours to finding what areas you’re ______53______ in and targeting them specifically. So next time you do poorly on your exam and wonder how that other student did so much better than you with what looked like no ______54______, it might just be that they knew what they were doing wrong and focused ______55______ on that.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

 The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches (束) of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the sadness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained (与……讨价还价) him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change. So I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.

When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s that common to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.

I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him. “I... I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir.” be said. “Thank you very much!”

When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he’s a swindler (骗子)? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.

要求：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。

Six months later, I went out for a drive.
