I was always a reader.As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading with a torch.I did my undergraduate degree in English and went on to get a master's in literature.When I created my online profile, I made my screen name “missbibliophile”.Filling out the “favorite books” section, I let my taste in literature speak for me:One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Moveable Feast, White Teeth, The Namesake, The Known World.
But I realized it had been more than two years since I had read most of those titles.I had stopped reading gradually, the way one heals or dies.
David was my online friend.His profile said he liked to read, so I asked him about his last book.His face lit up and his fingers danced.I told him I only read one book that year.“But it's June.Read a book!” he said.
I was painfully aware of the glaring hypocrisy(虚伪) in my life.I defended the virtues of bookstores in the age of online retailing and bought books, and they sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes.
His suggestion on “reading a book” echoed in my head.One afternoon, I picked up one I'd bought only for its poetic title.I had a hard time getting into it.Whenever I was tempted to give up on it, I thought of David.I pushed through the first two chapters and discovered a new narrator and I loved the alternating points of view.I read at lunch and on my walk home, occasionally lifting my eyes to avoid strangers and uneven road surface.I stayed up late and finished the book.
I felt great and proud of myself.The last time I'd pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12.I felt him pushing me to be more of the person I used to be and more of who I wanted to be.
24.Why did the author purposely list many classics in her profile
A.To show her taste.
B.To list books read.
C.To fill out the form.
D.To indicate her ability.
25.How much do we know about David
A.He is interested in dancing.
B.He is excited about books.
C.He is curious about the Internet.
D.He is patient with strangers.
26.How did the author try to appear fond of reading
A.By refusing online books.
B.By decorating her house with books.
C.By wandering about bookstores.
D.By constantly buying different books.
27.Why did the author feel proud of herself
A.She stayed up all night.
B.She finished reading a book.
C.She regained passion for books.
D.David pushed her to read.
C
Every 40 days a language dies.This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis, according to linguists.If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7,000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害), with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct.The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl.“It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world's languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet.It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says.“Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022.Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
28.What is the writer mainly concerned about
A.The disappearance of languages.
B.The challenge of climate change.
C.The reaction to the language crisis.
D.The trend of the speedy globalization.
29.Why is Vanuatu mentioned in Paragraph 3
A.To explain the main reason for language density.
B.To show the common features of endangered languages.
C.To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D.To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
30.What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do
A.Support migrants to access local education.
B.Discourage people from massive migration.
C.Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D.Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Faced with Disasters:Communities Have to Leave
B.Lost for Words:Rising Seas Bring Threat of Catastrophe
C.Upset at Extinction:UN Urges International Cooperation
D.Involved in Action:Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis
D
You know exercise is heart-smart and good for you.But do you really know how much physical activity you're getting Studies show that using a fitness tracker—a device that tracks your movement—can increase your steps per day by more than a mile.
“Fitness trackers are a great tool for heart health,” says cardiologist (心脏病医生) Seth Martin.“Being more active and changing your habits is important but difficult.Tracking likely helps people when combined with a clear goal to shoot for.”
Having an objective daily record can open people's eyes to how little exercise they're getting, Martin says, which can recalibrate their mindset (心态) and get them motivated.People find ways to incorporate (融入) more activities into their day, walking during meetings, or simply taking the stairs instead of an elevator.“Fitness tracking gives people information and enables them to start making changes for heart health,” Martin says.
Try a few trackers until you find one that's comfortable for you and your budget.Martin suggests, “Once you've made a match, you can try the next steps:Use the tracker consistently every day.Set a goal and then find activities you enjoy that also fit into your daily life and can be sustained over the long term.Finally, encourage friends and family to use trackers as well.It can create a social support network and even foster a sense of competition.Follow these tips, and you'll be on your way to a healthier lifestyle and a healthier heart.”
So be ready, as doctors learn and introduce even better ways to use these devices.In a randomized clinical trial, Martin and his colleagues tested an automated, real-time, personalized program that sent coaching text messages to cardiology patients based on data from a wearable device paired with their phone.Over the short term, this coaching system helped increase step counts by over a mile a day beyond tracking alone.“I think technology can be a very powerful tool to get people moving more,” says Martin.
32.According to Paragraphs 1-2, what do people fail to do when exercising
A.Integrate movement into work.
B.Maintain a daily exercise schedule.
C.Kick improper habits of exercising.
D.Monitor the amount of physical activity.
33.What does the underlined word “recalibrate” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Adjust.      B.Abandon.
C.Strengthen. D.Evaluate.
34.What does Martin suggest people do
A.Encourage the family to attend competitions.
B.Take exercise under the guidance of a coach.
C.Purchase a proper device and use it every day.
D.Consult a doctor and decide on suitable activities.
35.What does Martin think of the future of fitness trackers
A.Uncertain. B.Promising.
C.Doubtful. D.Sustainable.

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。
Having a good sense of humor makes you more enjoyable to be around. __36__.Here's how you can develop your sense of humor.
Surround Yourself with Humor
You learn more effectively when you fully expose yourself to a subject.Similarly, you can improve your sense of humor by surrounding yourself with humor.Watch standup comedians.Listen to programs that amuse you.Read humorous books.__37__.
Learn What Amuses You
__38__.We amuse our friends by praising a change they made.However, when it comes to being funny, don't change your sense of humor to amuse other people.Instead, start with what amuses you.Then, if you think the other person will also be amused with it, share it with them.
Think About Timing and Audience
You don't have to be funny all the time, so don't expect that of yourself.When you catch yourself trying to be funny, slow down.Simply speak slower so you're not as likely to stop and repeat yourself.Try speaking at 60%-70% of your usual rate.__39__.
__40__
You don't need to seize every single opportunity to be funny.If you're in the middle of a bad joke, just end it.“You know what, now that I'm telling it, it's not as funny as it sounded in my head”can be a bit of an awkward end and hurt your pride a little bit, but it saves everyone time and patience.In the long run, they'll respect your taste.
A.Be Creative, Not Silly
B.Pause in between sentences
C.There's a lot of fun out there
D.You might also do better at work
E.Know When to Pull the Plug on Yourself
F.You can also try your hand in the real world
G.A lot of times, we say things purely to please others

However, a year later, a passing woman__43__ his original thought on his daily __44__.“She said, ‘Every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that __45__ is going to be OK.’” Nixon __46__“It was at that moment that I suddenly realized:Every person who stopped by the bench __47__my attention.I needed to make eye __48__ and let people know we __49__to each other.”
Instead of just__50__ at the sunrise, Nixon started smiling at people and lending a(n) __51__to listen to them without asking for any return.And pretty soon, he started __52__ with some early risers who began joining him on the bench.Later, some strangers even __53__ out their troubles to turn to Nixon for advice about relationships, careers, and personal problems.“I was happy to __54__,” Nixon says.“I wanted people to know that they needn't feel __55__or upset when walking away.At this period in life, this is __56__ my purpose.” So, every morning, weather permitting, Nixon __57__ at 4:30 a.m., puts on a hat, sips a cup of coffee, and then __58__the waterfront, where he'll stay for two hours.His presence, his __59__to listen, and his kindness toward __60__, have led some to nickname him the Sunshine Mayor.

22.B 细节理解题。根据NEMO tickets部分表格中的价目可知,4岁及以上票价是?=17.50,四岁以下儿童免费。由此可知,一对夫妇带着3岁的孩子需要付:?=17.50*2+0= ?=35。

29.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet.It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says.‘Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.’ Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.”可推知,第三段提到瓦努阿图是为了说明少数民族语言社区的情况。

【参考范文】
Dear_fellow_students,
As is known to us,without electricity the society cannot run smoothly.But around us,electricity is often regrettably wasted,in contrast to that many places have been suffering severe power shortage since this summer.So it's necessary for us to save electricity.
First and foremost,we should make it a habit to save electricity and practice it in our daily life.For example, when leaving the room,we should turn off the lights.Moreover,we should remind more people around us, such as our parents,close relatives and friends,about the importance of saving electricity.
Many hands make light work.Dear fellow students,let's join in the power-saving action,start from ourselves,and act from now on.
