Like running,climbing stairs doesn’t require any special equipment except for a good pair of running shoes. Tower running clothing is based on your own personal preferences. ____10____.

____12____ Volunteering time to enrich your community is a great way to broaden your perceptions of the world. It will enrich your life, familiarize you with your community, and connect you to people and ideas that will positively impact your perspective for the rest of your life. And by surrounding yourself with people who are dedicated to making the world better, you can learn so much about how the world works.
It is statistically proven that people who volunteer regularly are healthier both physically and mentally. Individuals who have volunteered throughout their lifetime typically live longer and have better psychological well-being.

Have you noticed how evenings cool off more in rural areas than they do in cities Urban areas also tend to get hotter during the day than any nearby areas with lots of greenery.____16____
It’s mainly caused by the difference in materials that cover the ground in urban areas and the countryside. In the country, evaporation(蒸发)of water from soil and the leaves of plants helps to cool the air.____17____Having fewer plants, cities have less evaporation and are unable to cool down the temperature.
Dark colours are another problem. Dark objects absorb all wavelengths of light, making the temperature increase more noticeably. In contrast, white objects reflect all wavelengths of light energy.____18____Sadly, most parts of cities are covered by asphalt(沥青), steel, roofs and bricks which are often dark in colour.
____19____As people drive cars, heat buildings, and run air conditioners, cities are generating waste heat and pouring it into the atmosphere directly. The waste heat adds to the solar energy trapped by the tall buildings.
But cities don’t have to be so hot. Some cities have lightened their streets. This is done by covering black asphalt streets, parking lots, and dark roofs with a more reflective gray coating. ____20____
Having more green spaces also helps. Plants serve as a natural air conditioner. They catch heat, release vapour(蒸汽)into the air, and take away heat, contributing to cooler, fresher cities.
A．Cities also produce more heat than suburban areas.
B．The higher the temperature, the shorter the wavelength.
C．This phenomenon is known as the urban heat-island effect.
D．So it will not be transformed into heat which makes the air hot.
E．Changes in building materials have a minimal effect on city temperatures.
F．Much of the soil in cities, by contrast, has been covered with roads and buildings.
G．These changes can decrease air temperatures dramatically, especially in summer.
As one of the most popular and affordable drinks in the world, tea has been enjoyed by us for ages. ___21___
No matter which type of tea you use, it is rich in antioxidants(抗氧化剂) that help fight the damaging effects of free radicals(自由基). It’s also known for its mood-enhancing qualities. ___22___ Bring two liters of water to a boil and pour in a generous handful of dried tea leaves. Cover it with a lid and let it boil for at least 20 minutes. Strain the liquid and add the tea to a warm bath. You can add some bath salts for added benefits. ___23___
If your furniture is looking dull and old, with the polish wearing off, and you haven’t had the time to purchase a furniture polish, fear not. Try this effective approach. ___24___ Once the tea is cool, dip a clean, soft rag in the water and gently wipe all your wooden surfaces, which will make the wood shine like new.
Tea can help in getting rid of all kinds of bad smells in the house. So, if that sweat stench(恶臭) refuses to leave your shoes, place a dry and used tea bag in each shoe for a day and see the difference. ___25___ They will help you remove the bad smell.
A．It helps us manage stress and bad mood.
B．So, when you come home exhausted, try a tea bath.
C．You may be troubled by the smelly shoes in your house.
D．You can also keep a few dry and used tea bags in your shoe closet.
E．This will not only relax your senses but also leave your skin soft.
F．Put a couple of used tea bags in warm water to make a slightly weak tea.
G．Besides treating yourself a hot cup of tea, you can use it to do various things.
What makes a work of architecture great Most people would argue that aesthetics are the most important. ____26____However, Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio believed that we should also consider durability and function when assessing a structure. The Rostonville Library in my city is a great example of Vitruvius’s principles.
Constructed entirely of granite — a hard and tough stone, the library is durable. It can withstand environmental pollution. For example, it is resistant to acid rain. Moreover, its granite structure is stable so it’s more likely to survive an earthquake._____27_____It uses solar energy for heating and a rooftop garden for cooling.
_____28_____Providing free access to print and digital information, it conveys a feeling of openness and accessibility. Furthermore, the entire library is on one level, and it has an open design — there are no inner walls or dividers. In addition, large windows let in plenty of natural light, so it’s easy to see and get to each department within the library.
Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details both inside and out. The large windows are copper-framed (铜框的). The copper color provides an interesting contrast against the color of the granite structure and it will remain as the copper ages. Growth from the rooftop garden, which reaches down the sides of the building, adds to the aesthetics of the building.______29______
Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure. Architects who follow Vitruvius’s principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in._____30_____
A．The library is also sustainable.
B．It is true that beauty is critical.
C．This is not the only concern of the architects.
D．The library was designed with functionality in mind.

G．Buildings that fulfill these criteria offer both peace of mind and beauty for their users.
For generations, the longest distance that many villagers in Zhadong, South China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, could understand was that of the journey between their village and Nanning, the regional capital.
___31___
“The first time I came to Zhadong village, I was impressed by its natural beauty. The adobe(土砖)homes fit perfectly with the green environment.” recalls Hansen Nico Rene, a 63-year-old retired policeman. “___32___.There was a fireplace, a table, and some chairs. The bathroom, if there was one, was in the pigsty. There was very little to suggest that they were living in the 21st Century.”
The village Hansen visited is in a remote mountainous area in Guangxi’s Hechi city.In 2015, of some 600 residents in the village, over half lived under the national poverty(贫困)line. At the time of Hansen’s first visit, there were still some parts of the village that were not accessible by road.___33___ “People surrounded him out of curiosity. They took pictures of him with their phones, as it was the first time we had seen a foreigner in our village.”
During that visit, Hansen met Xie Wanju, then the first Party secretary of Zhadong.“We will never forget the first moment we met because this changed my whole life. I met the first Party secretary, and he was working for the government for poverty relief. That was amazing. I said if you need help, I have time,” Hansen said.___34___
Under Hansen’s assistance, Xie, with the village’s officials and other poverty relief workers, developed featured industries, including cattle and sheep raising and fruit planting. ___35___ By November 2020, the whole of Zhadong village had successfully wiped out poverty. Now local authorities are leading the villagers on a new journey to rural vitalization(振兴).

D．Villager Bi Yonghong, 41, remembers the first time he saw Hansen.
E．Hansen returned to the city in May2021 after finishing his voluntary work.
F．In 2018,the arrival of a man from Luxembourg expanded their horizons across continents.
G．Since then, he became known by a new identity-the village’s first Party secretary’s assistant.
How to Speak English Fluently
Immerse(沉浸)yourself in English every day
____36____The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.
There’s a special language learning method called “immersion”. With immersion, you try to surround yourself with the language as much as you can in your day-to-day activities.
Accept that English grammar has a lot of exceptions
Sometimes, you can find patterns in English grammar, but other times English doesn’t make sense at all. It’s easy to get stuck on learning how to speak English properly if you try to find a reason for everything. ____37____So the best thing to do is just memorize the strange exceptions and move on.
Learn intonation, body language and gestures
Intonation is the “rise and fall” or tone changes in how a person speaks. Body language is how a person uses their own body to support (or go against) what they mean. Gestures are hand and body movements that work together with what someone is saying. ____38____ One way to learn is to just watch how native English speakers communicate with each other.
Share your opinions online
To really learn English speaking, you need to learn how to express yourself in English. Even if you have ideas for conversations, it can be hard to know how to put them into your own words. You can practice this by participating in conversations online. ____39____
Get direct feedback
To improve your speaking, you can ask directly for feedback. Since you usually can’t do this with casual conversations, it might be worth setting up a language exchange, where you can ask the person to tell you directly if any of your sentences sounds awkward or unnatural. ____40____Hello Talk also allows you to chat in English, and then your conversation partner will literally mark out your mistakes.
A．Sometimes, English is just strange!
B．There are many options for practicing your writing skills.
C．Listen carefully when someone asks you a question in English.
D．It’s not easy to learn these three things because they seem very natural.
E．Posting on social media and leaving comments on articles are good approaches.
F．Studying English for an hour once a week isn’t usually enough to make any real progress.
G．There are even apps for this, like Go Correct, where you can connect with English teachers.
How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever
“May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phrase many times. _____41_____ So many characters, devices, and phrases from the movie have become well-known. But you might be surprised to find out how much this movie has changed how movies are made.
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . ” is how Star Wars begins. Its plot was not ground-breaking.
_____42_____ The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama, traditional characters and good battling evil, in space and in hand-to-hand fight.
It was the special effects that made Star Wars stand out from other movies. People still talk about the light swords (剑) that could cut, burn and melt through most substances. Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge, realistic-looking space stations. _____43_____ When Star Wars first came out in 1977, most movie theaters were stand- alone buildings, with just one movie screen. Using the money Star Wars had made for them, movie-theater owners built more theaters, leading to the multiplexes (多影厅影院)that are common today.
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes. So new movie companies sprang up, including small ones creating experimental movies. _____44_____ Some of the methods became popular and others failed. But, thanks to Star Wars, people got to see new types of movies.
_____45_____ There had been movie continuations previously, but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie. The Star Wars movies were all popular. There have been two trilogies (三部曲)so far, with more planned.

B．In fact, it was quite old-fashioned.
C．Moviegoers had never seen anything like it.
D．Thus, audience began to enjoy science fiction movies there.
E．Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.
F．If you are not a fan, you are still likely familiar with these words.
G．If you are a movie maker, you may be inspired by this classic film.
Home gardens produce delicious food.But that’s not their main virtue.
Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe. ____46____The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape.____47____
Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same could be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals ____48____They mistake the product for the purpose.
Actually, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration(挫败感). New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad.____49____ No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure — as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile — is in the work itself.A gardener’s memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt.
____50____
A．No one can ever avoid this hard stage.
B．So why don’t we start home gardening for delicious food
C．This might explain why many people desire a home garden.
D．These people misunderstand the ultimate appeal of gardening.
E．By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the plant for days.

Gratitude (感激之情) does more than just improve your mood for the moment. It actually changes your mindset and plays a major role in success and overall happiness. ____51____ Enjoy the benefits of feeling thankful with these four gratitude practices every day.
Show your appreciation for others. When you think of gratitude exercises, you have probably already heard of suggestions like keeping a gratitude journal. Yet even more beneficial than counting your blessings is receiving thanks from others. To encourage acts of gratitude, lead by example. ____52____ You create an environment of open gratitude, and you may even receive the same appreciation in return.
____53____ Encourage gratitude. In an interview, research professor Dr. BrenéBrown explained her daily practices to encourage gratitude among her colleagues. She gathers posters and puts a name of a coworker on each board. Then everyone goes around and writes a nice thing about that person under their name. You can create your own group gratitude exercises like this to encourage positivity and appreciation among friends, family, or at work.
Feel inspired by gratitude stories. ____54____ Look for people in your life, or in the media, who have struggled and succeeded thanks to the support of others. Having empathy (同理心) is good for you.
Start your day with a morning gratitude practice. ____55____ So why not start it from a place of gratitude and grace Each morning, before you get out of bed, take a moment to count your blessings.

Hardscaping refers to non-organic features of a landscape such as pathways, driveways, walls, steps, and other human-made structures. The three Rs, which are common to many sustainability efforts, apply to hardscaping: reduce, reuse, and recycle. ____56____
Reduce Runoff
You can reduce rainwater runoff by using permeable (可渗透的) materials that allow rainwater to get into the soil below. ____57____ Because, to use permeable materials, you need to dig deeper to set into multiple layers (层) of sand,tiny stones,and other materials that allow rainwater to permeate well, using them under a tree can disturb or even destroy roots that keep trees healthy and upright. It’s also a good idea to slope (倾斜) any impermeable surface to direct rainwater to your garden to save from watering it.
Use Recycled Materials
Consider using materials that are recycled from reclaimed (再生的) concrete, glass, or other construction materials that might otherwise end up in a landfill. ____58____ Your local landfill might sell other usable materials as well. Recycled wood can be used to make borders between different areas. Just make sure it hasn’t been treated with chemicals, especially if you grow food nearby.
Support Local Wildlife
____59____ Using permeable hardscape makes the soil below beneficial to them, whether they are earthworms, ground-nesting bees and other beneficial insects, important microorganisms, or plant roots. Between hardscaped areas, plant native trees and flowers to create wildlife habitats. ____60____
With careful planning and action, you can enjoy the convenience brought by hardscaping and at the same time be considerate to the environment and local wildlife.
A．Those materials are seemingly useless.
B．All these are essential to a healthy ecosystem.
C．They aren’t suitable for all landscapes, however.

Stay on top of your pleting all of your week by its due date will help you stay on top of the content, minimizing the time needed to prepare for finals. ____61____ For instance, attending class is a guarantee not to fall behind in your work.
____62____ Don’t feel like you need to give equal study time to each course. Look back at your progress throughout the semester. If your grade is borderline, between a ‘C’ and a ‘B’, for example, or you’re hoping to raise your grade, you’ll want to put in a bit more effort.
Find a study partner or a tutor. It is advisable to find a tutor or a study partner at the beginning of the semester as you can bounce around ideas and ask questions while studying. However, stay away from good friends when struggling with the material. ____63____
Select your studying environment strategically. You need a quiet studying location free of distractions. ____64____. Sometimes colleges open up conference rooms or other spaces to allow additional room for studying during exam week.

Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out. ____66____ This is a very unproductive way to spend your time and energy.
____67____ Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. ____68____
This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day. After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. ____69____

Exercise at your own pace. Some people say gyming helps them feel better about their bodies, trains their minds and gives them something rewarding to do with their time. ____73____ You can choose yoga, fencing, kendo, skating, jujutsu, skipping, and dancing. The list is endless.
Try for restful sleep. Many mental health disorders ruin your sleep pattern, which could be why you’re tired all day. Good sleep isn’t just about how long you’ve stayed asleep. ____74____ For example, irregular sleep may leave you tired in the morning. You can get better sleep results by avoiding caffeine three hours before bedtime, creating a peaceful bedtime routine, and training your rhythm by sleeping and waking at the same time every day.

You could use earplugs when you need to concentrate deeply or download a white noise app on your phone.
Another easy way to get focused on your study plan is realizing you need something that you forgot outside your study space. For example, be sure to have all the pens, notebooks and textbooks you will need to complete your work. ____78____. So having all the necessary things on hand will keep you focused. Besides, if you are doing work or reading on a laptop, make sure to bring your charger, as a failing battery may force you to stop studying.

17．段中句，考查转折性过渡句。F选项“Much of the soil in cities, by contrast, has been covered with roads and buildings.”（相比之下，城市的大部分土壤已经被道路和建筑物覆盖。）的“城市的土地被道路和建筑覆盖”与前一句“evaporation of water from soil and the leaves of plants helps to cool to air”（土壤和植物叶子中的水分蒸发有助于冷却到空气中）形成转折关系。这两句回应第二段主题句“It’s mainly caused by the difference in materials that cover the ground in urban areas and the countryside.”（这主要是由于城市和农村覆盖地面的材料不同造成的。）故选F。
18．段中句，考查结论性过渡句。空前句子“In contrast, white objects reflect all wavelengths of light energy”（相反，白色物体反射所有波长的光能）和D选项“So it will not be transformed into heat which makes the air hot.”（所以它不会转化为使空气变热的热量。）形成因果关系。即，白色物品会反射所有波长的光，因此能量不会被转换成热量，从而让空气变热。故选D。

20．段末句，考查递进逻辑关系。本段的讨论内容为解决热岛效应的方法。G选项中的“these changes（这些变化）”对应了选项前面一句的方法，即，“covering black asphalt streets, parking lots, and dark roofs with a more reflective gray coating”（覆盖黑色沥青街道、停车场和深色屋顶的反光性更强的灰色涂层）。同时，G选项“These changes can decrease air temperatures dramatically, especially in summer.”（这些变化会使气温急剧下降，尤其是在夏天。）进一步解释了这些举措所能带来的好处，与前文形成递进关系。故选G。

30．根据上文“Durability, functionality and beauty make the Rostonville Library a great structure. Architects who follow Vitruvius’s principles help to make the city more pleasant to live in.(耐用、功能和美观使罗斯顿维尔图书馆成为一个伟大的建筑。遵循维特鲁威原则的建筑师有助于使城市更宜居)”可知，上文提到了“遵循维特鲁威原则的建筑师有助于使城市更宜居”，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明遵循这些标准的建筑带来的影响：为用户提供了心灵的平静和美丽。故G选项“满足这些标准的建筑为用户提供了心灵的平静和美丽”符合语境，故选G。
