When people think about surfing, they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is gaining popularity because of its appeal（吸引力）to people of all ages.
As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a sharp sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these concerns by providing expert guidance and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social function that is particularly important to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active.
A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women approached her and curiously asked, “What about us ” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining; a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old.
There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face,” Scott said. Granny Grommets have inspired other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone global. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age.
24. What makes bodyboarding special
A. Its speed of surfing.
B. Its competition rules.
C. The ages of the participants.
D. The position on the skateboard.
25. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do
A. Offer expert guidance to professional surfers.
B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing.
C. Help older people overcome fears and keep active.
D. Encourage social connections among young surfers.
26. What could we infer about the older women from the question “What about us ”
A. They disliked surfing.
B. They desired to learn surfing.
C. They were fearful of surfing.
D. They were experienced in surfing.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Getting the Elderly into the Surf
B. Being a Popular Surfer in Your Youth
C. Joining in Women’s Surfi ng Programs
D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfi ng Event

When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That may not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music.
Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure（暴露）to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing.
The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect.
One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia（痴呆）research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. Anne said. “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.
Of those who took part in the survey,89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing.
28. Which is a benefit children may get by learning musical instruments according to the text
A. Becoming famous. B. Doing things perfectly.
C. Getting courage to try new things. D. Having better brain health in later life.
29. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Absolute. B. Positive. C. Typical. D. Sufficient.
30. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults
A. It inspired them to sing more.
B. It helps them stay physically active.
C. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time.
D. It lowers their chance of developing dementia.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To explain the importance of a hobby.
B. To tell us what we should do in daily life.
C. To describe that singing is good for health.
D. To encourage people to join in music activities.
D
In 2020, scientists claimed to have found a sign of life on Venus（金星）：a smelly gas called phosphine that’s made by tiny living things on Earth. The claim was quickly stirring up disagreement. Now, another smelly gas is making waves in the search for alien（外星的）life—now turning to a planet beyond our solar system.
Researchers announced on April 16 that they had used data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to discover a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of a distant planet called K2-18b. On Earth, DMS is mostly made by tiny ocean plants. On other planets, it could be what’s called a biosignature（生命印记）。
The University of Cambridge, which hosts several of the researchers involved in the discovery, was quick to promote the finding as the strongest sign of biological activity outside the solar system. Some media agents followed suit to publicize the DMS as a likely sign of life.
But scientists not involved in the discovery aren’t as overjoyed. For Clara Sousa-Silva, an astrochemist at Bard College who has weathered the storm of the Venus biosignature debate in 2020, she now watches history repeat itself. “The situation is disappointingly familiar. We did not learn enough from the ‘phosphine on Venus’ event,” she said.
Those scientists use JWST to discover gases in K2-18b’s atmosphere by analyzing how starlight changes as it passes through K2-18b’s atmosphere. Each gas leaves unique marks in the light, which appear as squiggly lines on special graphs. They compared these lines to 20different molecules（分子）. Sousa-Silva pointed most of the molecules aren’t structurally similar to DMS.
National Geographic contacted some experts to find out what to make of this new biosignature claim. Their views are represented: It’s an interesting discovery, perhaps even an important step on the way to discovering life on other planets one day. They stressed on “one day”.
32. Why do the researchers consider DMS as a sign of life
A. It is mostly made up of phosphine.
B. It is just as smelly as phosphine on Venus.
C. It is mainly produced by living things on Earth.
D. It was found on K2-18b which has living things.
33. What is Clars Sousa-Silva’s attitude to the new biosignature claim
A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Appreciative.
34. How did scientists identify DMS in K2-18b’s atmosphere
A. By observing ocean plants on K2-18b.
B. By directly collecting gas from K2-18b.
C. By studying starlight passing through its atmosphere.
D. By matching it with 20 molecules of similar structure.
35. What can be inferred from the experts’ views in the last paragraph
A. More evidence is needed to confirm the claim.
B. Findings from JWST are rather disappointing.
C. They believe that life surely exists on K2-18b.
D. They confirm the discovery is a big achievement.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Paul, a high school exchange student, came to our school with excitement, hoping to learn about the culture and language. However, learning Chinese was much harder than he thought. The characters looked like a puzzle, and the different tones（声调）confused him. Every Chinese class was a struggle, and Paul felt disappointed. Our classmates tried to help, but it was hard for them to understand each other. One day, after a difficult lesson, Paul sat down sadly. He felt like giving up. That’s when I, his partner, decided to step in.
I loved languages and was good at making difficult things easier to understand. I could see how upset Paul was, so I went up to him. “Paul, I know Chinese is hard, but I believe you can do it,” I said. “Let’s study together.” Paul looked a little doubtful but felt grateful. We started meeting after school. I shared some tips on how to remember characters and practice tones. Slowly, Paul began to improve, but he still had trouble speaking.
One day, while we were practicing, Paul stopped and said, “I still find it difficult to open my mouth to speak with our classmates freely.” He looked discouraged. I gently reminded him, “Paul, remember why you came here. You wanted to experience China, and learning the language is part of that.” He nodded. Just then, our Chinese teacher walked by and overheard our conversation. He smiled and said, “Paul, speaking is the key to learning any language. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.” His words gave Paul some encouragement. We continued practicing, and I had an idea. “Let’s try something different,” I suggested. “We’ll visit a local market and practice speaking with the vendors（摊贩）. Maybe you’ll meet someone at the market, who can help you practice speaking in real situations. It’ll be more interesting than just studying in the classroom.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

Dear James,
I’d like to share with you how our school celebrated CPC Founding Day on July 1st.
Early in the morning, our school held a flag-raising ceremony. Besides, we had a special lecture about the Party’s history and achievements. It was very informative and inspiring. In the afternoon, we watched a documentary that showed the great changes in China over the past decades. I was deeply moved by the stories of the Party’s efforts to improve people’s lives.
These activities made me feel very proud and grateful. They helped me understand the importance of the Party and its role in shaping our country. I hope you’ll have a chance to learn more about China’s history someday.
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文：
At the market, Paul was nervous but excited. We walked around and bought some daily necessities. I encouraged him to take the opportunity to talk to the vendors. To our surprise, an elderly woman selling handmade baskets took a special interest in Paul. She spoke slowly and clearly, and Paul understood more than he expected. And she behaved like an excellent language tutor to him. She taught him phrases and idioms that he couldn’t find in textbooks. Paul’s confidence grew, and he started looking forward to speaking in public.
Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture. Paul decided to share his experience at the market. On the day of the speech, Paul took a deep breath, stepped onto the platform, and started speaking. Unexpectedly, his words came out smoothly. He talked about the market and how much he had learned from the elderly woman who he came across at the market. The whole class listened attentively, and when he finished, we clapped loudly. Paul felt a wave of pride and joy. He realized that with effort and support, he could overcome any challenge.

W: Are you going to bring your bike with you to your college
M: No. That bike is almost useless!
W: How can you say that, Sam Your father and I bought it brand new.
M: But that was six years ago, in junior high school. Now the bell doesn’t work. The brakes are dangerously bad. Besides, I’ve gotten taller and the bike is too small for me now.
W: I understand now. Well, I guess we should buy you a new one before you leave.
M: You don’t have to. I am thinking of a different plan. The campus isn’t so big, and there are a lot of buses in the town. I won’t need a bike so often.
W: What will you do for exercise then You don’t like to walk or run.

Then I was able to make some extra money by collecting glass for recycling, and sometimes I even borrowed money from a friend. One night, when I was feeling particularly hopeless, I received a phone call from a man asking about a picture I had sold weeks ago. He wanted to know if I had taken it myself.
