The Ultra Ironman Triathlon Race (超长铁人三项比赛) is considered one of the most challenging sporting events in the world. Competitors swim, ride a bike, and run. The race is made up of a 3. 86-kilometer swim, a 180. 25-kilometer bicycle ride, and a 42. 2-kilometer run. There are no breaks during the race, so competitors must keep going no matter what. People who choose to enter this race must be healthy and prepared in both mind and body.

There are several rules for those who want to compete in the Ultra Ironman Triathlon Race. The minimum age of racers is 18, so everyone who competes is an adult. Training for the Ironman can take more than a year. People who train often start practicing the events at shorter distances first and then increase the amount of length and time they swim, bike, and run. Training can be difficult because people need to find a balance of strength and endurance (忍耐力) training. Without enough training, people can get harmed. Some people even put on weight when training because their bodies store calories (卡路里) instead of using them for energy. All people in training should drink plenty of water.

In the past 40 years, the Ironman has developed from a single race into a global (全球的) movement. Today’s Ironman races have events of different distances and racers of different ages. Since 2008, Weihai has held the Ironman Triathlon Race once a year. Weihai Triathlon Sports Association (威海铁人三项运动协会) was founded in2011. The 2014 World Triathlon Championships (世界铁人三项锦标赛) was held in Weihai, which was the first time that the event was held in an Asian city.

Look at the pretty WeiWei, the mascot (吉祥物) of Weihai Ironman Triathlon Race.

Exercise is good for people’s health and helps the heart. 

People take part in other sports and games such as golf or football,but the Ironman is a challenging way to stay fit. Even though it is hard, it can still be fun. It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy life!

There is a farmer who is famous for his good corn. Each year his corn joins in the competitions of the state fair(州集市)and wins prizes.

One year a news reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his best corn seeds with his neighbors every year.

“Why do you share your best corn seeds with your neighbors who will be your opponents in the competitions?” the reporter asked.

“Sir,” said the farmer. “Don't you know? The wind blows pollen(花粉) of the corn among fields. If I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”

Now we live in a world in which we need to face fierce competition, so some people are not willing to share their experience or knowledge with other people as they crave(渴望) their own fame and wealth. However, as the saying goes,“ No man is an island.” We have to cooperate(合作)with other people. Without understanding this truth, we will fail for sure. If one of the wheels of a truck chooses not to cooperate with the other wheels, the truck can't move smoothly. Therefore, the farmer's corn can't improve unless his neighbors' corn also improves.

All in all, people who want to live well should help other people live well, and people who want to be happy should help other people get happiness.

31. The farmer is famous for his__________.

32. What is the farmer's secret to growing good corn?

A. He cooperates with some famous experts.

B. He allows his neighbors to use his best corn seeds.

C. He is the most hard-working farmer in the fields.

33. If his neighbors grow poor corn, what will happen to the farmer's corn?

A. It will become bigger in size.

B. It will also be of poor quality.

C. It will lose the competition for sure.

34. In what way does the writer tell us why we should cooperate with other people?

A. By giving examples.

B. By using a lot of numbers.

C. By following the order of time.

35.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Every neighbor is a teacher.

B. Try to live our life in our own way.

C. None of us truly wins until we all win!

第三节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Living in a community, people depend on each other and help each other. That is why a group of special people in the community are ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a house catches fire, as the Millers’ house did last month, it might be burned down and people might get hurt… or worse. Luckily, the community firemen came to put out the fire and saved them.

Think about these years, who has helped us receive COVID-19 vaccinations (疫苗) in order. Who has worked around the clock helping to organize COVID-19 tests? It is the community doctors and nurses that make sure we have a healthy life.

And what about our local police? They protect our families and valuable things. Especially after a heavy rain, they always come to save the people.

Think about all the other service workers in our community. Cleaners collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary. Road workers repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but also our cars! And think about what would happen without teachers in our school.

Think again about what we eat, what we wear and what we use every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. The tireless workers keep our community running. We need them but in fact, we are one of them. So let’s support and help each other. Only when we pull together can we make our community a better place.

41. What happened to the Millers’ house last month?

42.Were the Millers saved？

43 From Para. 3, what can you know doctors and nurses are ready to fight against?

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.

67.为什么轻音乐可以帮助我们睡得更好？ The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.

Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats per minute (bpm) works best. 68.Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to experiment(尝试) to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume right. Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly fades out(渐弱). 69.otherewise, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
