The second-hand car that I bought just three months ago wouldn't start the other day. The factory battery that came along with it showed that it had worked long enough to "face death". My kind-hearted neighbor gave it a try, but the battery wouldn't hold the charge. After giving another try, I headed to the local car store to buy a new one. Fixing it was more difficult than we thought, so I took it to a local repairman who finally got the new battery in and the car started running once again.
Driving it this morning, though, I noticed that the time on the screen had suddenly gone back to nine years, resetting to the date of the first time when it was started. While my son smartly found out how to program it back to today, I thought about how I had wished I could turn back time and make up for some of the errors I had made and the missteps I had taken in my own life during my boyhood time.
How many of us wish that we could go back to a certain time and change things Like most middle-aged fathers, I have ever wished that. Yet, when I look back on my life today, I think that I won't change anything. Every choice I have made, every step I have taken, and every road I have taken has led me to where I am now. Many of my choices have brought me pain in the past, but they have also guided me in the present. I won't want to change things as they will change me. All that I have learned comes from the roads I have taken.
When you look at your own life, you can remember your past sadness, but don't regret the roads you took. Instead, celebrate the path you are on. Keep your feet moving forward.
24. How did the author get the car to work
A. By accepting his neighbor's battery. B. By asking a man to repair it at home.
C. By sending it to its production factory. D. By changing Is battery for a new one.
25. What did the wrong time on the car's screen remind the author of
A. His past mistakes. B. His happy childhood days.
C. His difficulty in the car repair. D. His experience of buying the car.
26. What does the author think of his pain in life now
A. It is confusing. B. It is valuable. D. It is unimaginable. C. It is uncommon.
27. What does the author want to tell us
A. We shouldn't remember the past.
B. No one can make up for mistakes.
C. No one wants to go back and live once again.
D. We shouldn't regret the past but should move on.

The area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.
But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks（麻袋）to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.
"What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies," Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. "When Batangas（the region where Taal is located）is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth," Dimaguila said. "The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.
The Philippines, located in the Pacific "Ring of Fire: zone of fire" and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.
28. What has happened to Taal Volcano
A. It attracts more and more visitors. B. It becomes quieter and quieter.
C. It is covered with ash completely. D. It causes bad effects on the locals.
29. What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila
A. To collect volcanic ash for recycling. B. To save sacks for factories to use.
C. To set up a factory for making bricks. D. To build communities for people from disasters.
30. What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3
A. Companies are expected to donate money. B. Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.
C. Batangas has been the most misfortune. D. Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.
31. What's the main idea of the passage
A. aal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed. B. Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.
C. Disasters always hit the Philippines. D. The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.
D
There are many reasons to be excited for colder temperatures as we head into autumn: sweater weather, colorful leaves, drinking coffee without breaking a sweat.
And while we've got a personal preference for cold, there are also many scientific reasons that cold is better than hot. And it's not just about whether you prefer the winter or summer Olympics-it's about what effects cold temps have on your body. Dive below for the details.
Professor Patrick Baylis recently completed a heat study where he found that a high of 90 degrees Fahrenheit（华氏温度计的）makes an average person's happiness drop in the same way it does between a Sunday and Monday. For many of those who work Monday to Friday, you don't need research to tell you the Sunday Scaries are real.
Sleep is extremely important for our physical and mental health, and the most suitable temperature is part of getting a good night's sleep. Dr. Christopher Winter, a neurologist（神经学家）and sleep specialist, states that between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature when you're catching zzz's. In addition, Dr. Winter recounts that studies have also found that cooler body temperatures lead to more deep sleep. Those who sleep in cooler temperatures also sleep longer and feel more awake the next morning.
Some studies have found that physical performance drops in hotter temperatures. For example, in one study, marathon runners slowed as temperatures increased. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body's dehydration（脱水）levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.
Many of us have a very definite（明确的）preference between cold and hot, but some research has found that cold has more benefits. Autumn is on its way. Take action for cold temperature.
32. For what scientific reason is cold better than hot
A. People can wear sweaters. B. People can drink hot coffee.
C. Cold presents colorful views. D. Cold has good effects on body.
33. According to Dr. Christopher Winter, what contributes to more deep sleep
A. Too much work. B. Hotter body temperature.
C. Less exercise. D. Cooler body temperature.
34. How many effects do cold temperatures have on your body
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
35. What is this passage mainly about
A. Personal preferences for cold. B. Differences between hot and cold.
C. Changes of physical performance. D. Benefits of cold temperatures.
第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
Smartwatches and fitness trackers（健身追踪器）have gained popularity recently. These tools can record your daily steps, heart rates, etc. 36 . If yes, it might be a sign that you're addicted to your fitness tracker.
37 If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long, and if you begin to ignore friends and responsibilities to make time for your workout, then you're most probably addicted to your fitness tracker.
It's a struggle to overcome the addiction to fitness trackers 38 . For example, the number in your smart watch showing how far you've come can give you a sense of achievement.
Of course, failing to meet your daily goal can be discouraging. You might focus on your shortcomings rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels. 39
Therefore, if you're spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step count to a comfortable level. 40 . For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things.
A. Don't overuse your smartwatch.
B. It doesn't convey what you're really feeling.
C. After all, reaching a daily step count can be so appealing.
B. How can you tell whether you're addicted to your fitness tracker
E. Actually, this addiction to step count can be risky, mentally and physically.
F. However, do you find yourself checking your steps and heart rates too often
G. Besides, you can find other things to do that don't involve checking your fitness tracker.

Dear Amy,
I'm more than sorry to learn that you're extremely upset about putting on weight. The following are some practical tips on how to keep fit.
First of all, it is a good idea to have a balanced diet that includes grain, meat, milk, fruit and vegetables to get enough energy. What's more, you'd better play sports with your classmates in your spare time, which can help you lose weight and develop a pleasant relationship with them. More importantly, for the sake of your health, ensuring enough sleep and rest is essential. Sleeping more will make it happen for you to stay thin.
I'd be delighted if you could find my advice useful. Best wishes.
