Zhu Zhiwen, in his 30s,has been on the road, on his most recent bicycle trip since March.
Zhu started this adventure, an “Olympic trip”, from Beijing and had spent several months going across the country’s vast land, including Shijiazhuang of Hebei province and Urumqi of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
“My destination is Paris, France, before the Summer Olympics on July 26, 2024,” says Zhu, who was originally from a small village in East China’s Jiangxi province. “It’s my way of celebrating the Games.”
Over the past 11 years, Zhu has traveled through 45 countries and regions across four continents, covering a distance of over 90,000 kilometers. From Asia to Africa, from South America to North America, he has encountered many wonderful people and experiences, and witnessed various unique customs.

He was very happy and, in return, offered me a night of accommodation for free,” Zhu says.
Yet, it hasn’t all been smooth riding. Zhu came across severe weather on his way to the Arctic in 2020.Moreover, he suffered robberies during his stay in South Africa and escaped attacks from bears and other wild animals in Canada.
After the Olympic tour, Zhu says he will continue to explore the world on his bicycle and fulfill his childhood dream of touring the whole world with his feet. Being an experienced traveler, Zhu has often been asked about his understanding of travel. “I think it is to accept what is possible during travel and get pleasure from it, no matter if it is good or bad,” Zhu says.

Detecting drugs used to be a special job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues-squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February.
Squirrels have a sharp sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot (about 30 centimeters) of snow. Being so small and quick, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places where dogs may not be able to reach, such as in narrow spaces or on top of packages stacked (堆) high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes in order to catch their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.
“Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals,” Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really good results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Although the system is designed for dogs, it can show some information on how squirrels are trained as well.
According to a research article published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program，conditioning the animals' reflexes (反射) is the key factor. First， the animals are familiarized with the target’s smell and do special gestures when they smell their target. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs’ food.
Next, the animals learn to search for the target under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different situations to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets spontaneously (自动地), showing that the conditioned reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios.
28. What would the squirrels do once they identify drugs
A. Use their claws to take the drugs.
B. Enjoy treats from the handlers.
C. Scratch at the surface of packages.
D. Search for drugs with the same smell.
29. What is one advantage of using squirrels for drug detection mentioned in the article
A. Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.
B. Squirrels are better at identifying explosives than dogs.
C. Squirrels can access narrow spaces or high packages in warehouses.
D. Squirrels requires less training compared to police dogs for drug detection.
30. What is of vital importance for the animals’ successful detection
A. Developing the immediate reactions of animals.
B. Familiarizing the animals with the target’s smell.
C. Doing special gestures when they smell their target.
D. Involving practice sessions under different conditions.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Role of Animals in Drug Detection
B. A New Member in the Drug Detection Force
C. The Challenges of Training Squirrels for Drug Detection
D. Chongqing Police’s Training Program for Sniffer Animals
D
The twilight (朦胧的) time between full wakefulness and being sound asleep may be packed with creative potential. In a new experiment, people who went into a light sleep were better problem solvers later.
It is said that the famous inventor, Thomas Edison, used to fall asleep in a chair holding two steel balls. As he nodded off, the balls fell into metal pans. The resulting noise woke him. Then, he could write down his inventive ideas before he fell into a deep sleep and forgot them.
Researchers tested Edison’s method of cultivating creativity with 103 healthy people. Volunteers came to the lab to solve a tricky number problem. They were asked to change a string of numbers into a shorter sequence (序列). They were told to follow two simple rules. What the volunteers weren’t told was that there was an easy trick to do this task. The second number in the sequence would always be the correct final number, too. Once discovered, this trick dramatically cut the solving time.
After doing this task 60 times, the volunteers earned a 20-minute break. This downtime was spent in a quiet, dark room. Volunteers sat in chairs and held a version of the steel balls that Edison used as “alarm clocks”—it was a light drinking bottle in one dangling (悬垂) hand. The researchers told participants to close their eyes and rest or sleep if they desired.
About half of the participants stayed awake. Twenty-four fell asleep and stayed in the shallow, twilight stage of sleep called N1. Fourteen others progressed to N2, a deeper stage of sleep.
After their rest, participants returned to their number problem. The researchers saw a clear difference between the groups. People who had fallen into a shallow, early sleep were 2.7 times as likely to spot the hidden trick as people who stayed awake. Shallow sleepers were 5.8 times as likely to spot the trick as people who reached the deeper N2 stage.
32. What can be inferred about Thomas Edison
A. His creative ideas were often forgotten.
B. He woke himself up from a light sleep on purpose.
C. His sleeping pattern was copied by 24 volunteers.
D. He once got inspiration from a metal ball and a metal pan.
33. What were the volunteers asked to do in the experiment
A. Work out a number sequence.
B. Find out the rules in a sequence of words.
C. Describe what happened in their shallow sleep.
D. Pick out the wanted numbers in the shortest time.
34. Which group of volunteers did best in the experiment
A. Those who stayed awake.
B. Those who slept for the longest hours.
C. Those who woke up from the stage of N1.
D. Those who woke up from the stage of N2.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Write down Your Ideas before You Forget
B. Shallow Sleepers May Be Better Inventors
C. Nodding off May Turn Your Creativity on
D. Number Problems Are Solved in a Deep Sleep

B. Question statements made by the author.
C. Also be certain that the sources are relevant.

It was mid-December, and the temperature was a chilly minus 20-degree Celsius. I walked with my head down, passing the homeless beggars and ignoring all of them as usual. Then I saw him, sitting against a building, wrapped in thin cloth, holding a white cup in front of him. I heard his shaky, pitiful voice target me as I sped past him.
“Spare some change ” he asked. “I’ll appreciate it.”
I didn’t even bother looking up at him. In my mind, I briefly pictured him walking into the closest pub and drinking whisky with whatever money he managed to get. Or, maybe he needed another shot of cocaine. See, like most people in the city, it took me only moments to pass judgement on his life.
“I have no money on me.” I said quickly.
Looking back, I feel as though fate had set out that day to teach me a lesson. And it succeeded. Just a few feet past him, I slipped on a piece of ice on the sidewalk! I landed square on my right knee. The acute pain passed throughout as I lay on the ground. Then I heard a familiar voice only inches above me.
“Are you all right ” he asked.
I knew immediately this was the man I had just rushed past. Before tears welled up in my eyes, I saw the smooth, sympathetic look in his eyes.
I held his hand as I struggled to get to my feet. He held my arm as I limped (一瘸一拐地走) to the nearby bus stop and sat on the bench.
“My name is Mike,” he said with concern. “That was quite a fall you took, and you really need to see a doctor.”
“This bus goes past the hospital,” I said quickly, pointing to the bus sign above me.
Mike paused, and a look of sudden realization crossed his face. He pulled out his small white cup and dumped all the change into his hand.
“I know you don’t have any change on you,” he said, “I think this is just enough for you to take the bus.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was overcome with guilt as I remembered the lie I had told him only a few minutes earlier.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Thank you,” he said gratefully when the bus was approaching.

Detecting drugs used to be a special job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues-squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February.
Squirrels have a sharp sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot (about 30 centimeters) of snow. Being so small and quick, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places where dogs may not be able to reach, such as in narrow spaces or on top of packages stacked (堆) high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes in order to catch their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.
“Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals,” Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really good results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Although the system is designed for dogs, it can show some information on how squirrels are trained as well.
According to a research article published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program，conditioning the animals' reflexes (反射) is the key factor. First， the animals are familiarized with the target’s smell and do special gestures when they smell their target. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs’ food.
Next, the animals learn to search for the target under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different situations to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets spontaneously (自动地), showing that the conditioned reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios.
28. What would the squirrels do once they identify drugs
A. Use their claws to take the drugs.
B. Enjoy treats from the handlers.
C. Scratch at the surface of packages.
D. Search for drugs with the same smell.
29. What is one advantage of using squirrels for drug detection mentioned in the article
A. Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.
B. Squirrels are better at identifying explosives than dogs.
C. Squirrels can access narrow spaces or high packages in warehouses.
D. Squirrels requires less training compared to police dogs for drug detection.
30. What is of vital importance for the animals’ successful detection
A. Developing the immediate reactions of animals.
B. Familiarizing the animals with the target’s smell.
C. Doing special gestures when they smell their target.
D. Involving practice sessions under different conditions.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Role of Animals in Drug Detection
B. A New Member in the Drug Detection Force
C. The Challenges of Training Squirrels for Drug Detection
D. Chongqing Police’s Training Program for Sniffer Animals
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了警方训练松鼠去搜查毒品。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes to draw their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities. (据重庆当地警方称，这些松鼠经过训练，一旦发现毒品，它们就会用爪子抓箱子，以引起饲养员的注意)”可知，松鼠在发现毒品后会用爪子抓箱子来提醒它们的饲养员。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Being so small and quick, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places where dogs may not be able to reach，such as in narrow spaces or on top of packages stacked (堆) high in warehouses. (由于体积小、速度快，这些“新来者”能够在狗可能够不到的地方搜索毒品，比如狭窄的空间里，或者在仓库里堆叠得很高的包裹顶部。)”可知，在毒品检测方面，松鼠相比于狗来说，松鼠可以进入仓库狭窄的空间或到达高处的包裹。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The animals are soon able to search for targets spontaneously (自动地)，showing that the conditioned reflex has been built in them. (动物很快就能自动地寻找目标，这表明条件反射已经在体内建立起来了)”可知，动物自动寻找目标时，就表明它们已经发展出条件反射，因此形成条件反射对于动物成功探测是最重要的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“Detecting drugs used to be a special job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues-squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February. ( 探测毒品曾经是狗的一项特殊工作，但现在一个毒品探测小组正在欢迎一些新同事——松鼠。今年2月，重庆警方对6只欧亚红松鼠进行了培训，并批准了它们的工作职责。)”以及下文内容可知，本文主要讲述了重庆警方训练松鼠进行毒品探测，迎来松鼠成为新同事，共同探测毒品，因此推断B项“毒品侦缉队的新成员”为最佳标题。故选B项。

The twilight (朦胧的) time between full wakefulness and being sound asleep may be packed with creative potential. In a new experiment, people who went into a light sleep were better problem solvers later.
It is said that the famous inventor, Thomas Edison, used to fall asleep in a chair holding two steel balls. As he nodded off, the balls fell into metal pans. The resulting noise woke him. Then, he could write down his inventive ideas before he fell into a deep sleep and forgot them.
Researchers tested Edison’s method of cultivating creativity with 103 healthy people. Volunteers came to the lab to solve a tricky number problem. They were asked to change a string of numbers into a shorter sequence (序列). They were told to follow two simple rules. What the volunteers weren’t told was that there was an easy trick to do this task. The second number in the sequence would always be the correct final number, too. Once discovered, this trick dramatically cut the solving time.
After doing this task 60 times, the volunteers earned a 20-minute break. This downtime was spent in a quiet, dark room. Volunteers sat in chairs and held a version of the steel balls that Edison used as “alarm clocks”—it was a light drinking bottle in one dangling (悬垂) hand. The researchers told participants to close their eyes and rest or sleep if they desired.
About half of the participants stayed awake. Twenty-four fell asleep and stayed in the shallow, twilight stage of sleep called N1. Fourteen others progressed to N2, a deeper stage of sleep.
After their rest, participants returned to their number problem. The researchers saw a clear difference between the groups. People who had fallen into a shallow, early sleep were 2.7 times as likely to spot the hidden trick as people who stayed awake. Shallow sleepers were 5.8 times as likely to spot the trick as people who reached the deeper N2 stage.
32. What can be inferred about Thomas Edison
A. His creative ideas were often forgotten.
B. He woke himself up from a light sleep on purpose.
C. His sleeping pattern was copied by 24 volunteers.
D. He once got inspiration from a metal ball and a metal pan.
33. What were the volunteers asked to do in the experiment
A. Work out a number sequence.
B. Find out the rules in a sequence of words.
C. Describe what happened in their shallow sleep.
D. Pick out the wanted numbers in the shortest time.
34. Which group of volunteers did best in the experiment
A. Those who stayed awake.
B. Those who slept for the longest hours.
C. Those who woke up from the stage of N1.
D. Those who woke up from the stage of N2.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Write down Your Ideas before You Forget
B. Shallow Sleepers May Be Better Inventors
C. Nodding off May Turn Your Creativity on
D. Number Problems Are Solved in a Deep Sleep
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一项新的研究结果：在清醒和熟睡之间的朦胧状态时，人的思维可能具有创造性。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It is said that the famous inventor, Thomas Edison, used to fall asleep in a chair holding two steel balls. As he nodded off, the balls fell into metal pans. The resulting noise woke him. Then, he could write down his inventive ideas before he fell into a deep sleep and forgot them.(据说，著名的发明家爱迪生曾经抱着两个钢球在椅子上睡着。就在他打瞌睡的时候，球掉进了金属锅里。由此产生的噪音吵醒了他。然后，他就可以在进入深度睡眠并忘记之前，把他的创意写下来)”可知，爱迪生用钢球和金属平底锅的撞击声将自己弄醒，为的是把朦胧状态中的创造性想法记下来。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Researchers tested Edison’s method of cultivating creativity with 103 healthy people. Volunteers came to the lab to solve a tricky number problem. They were asked to change a string of numbers into a shorter sequence (序列).(研究人员在103名健康人身上测试了爱迪生培养创造力的方法。志愿者来到实验室解决一个棘手的数字问题。他们被要求改变字符串的数字变成短序列)”可知，在实验中志愿者被要求改变字符串，变成短序列，即解决一个数列问题。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“Twenty-four fell asleep and stayed in the shallow, twilight stage of sleep called N1.(24人睡着了，并停留在被称为N1的浅的、朦胧的睡眠阶段)”以及最后一段“People who had fallen into a shallow, early sleep were 2.7 times as likely to spot the hidden trick as people who stayed awake. Shallow sleepers were 5.8 times as likely to spot the trick as people who reached the deeper N2 stage.(过早浅睡的人发现隐藏的秘密的可能性是保持清醒的人的2.7倍。浅睡眠者发现这一诡计的可能性是深N2睡眠者的5.8倍)”可知，浅睡中醒来的人在实验中表现得最好，即N1阶段的人表现最好。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The twilight (朦胧的) time between full wakefulness and being sound asleep may be packed with creative potential, In a new experiment, people who went into a light sleep were better problem solvers later.(从完全清醒到完全入睡之间的朦胧状态可能充满了创造力。在一项新的实验中，进入浅睡状态的人以后会更好地解决问题。)”并结合下文对研究过程的介绍可知，本文介绍了一项研究发现在清醒和熟睡之间的朦胧状态时，人的思维可能具有创造性。由此可知，C项“Nodding off May Turn Your Creativity on(打盹可以激发你的创造力)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一场以朱鹮为主题的艺术展在上海举行。1981年，在陕西省的汉中只发现了7只野生朱鹮，后来中国加强了对这种鸟的保护和繁殖，并将一些鸟作为“友谊大使”送到了日本和韩国。这种鸟作为促进人类与自然的和谐以及中、日、韩三国文化交流的一部分，促进了生态文明建设。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意为：作为促进人与自然和谐，以及中、日、韩三国交流的一部分，一场以朱鹮为主题的艺术展览正在上海举行。根据“the harmony”及“human and nature”可推知，此处表示“在人与自然之间的和谐”，在两者之间用介词between。故填between。
57题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意为：朱鹮在东方文化中被当作吉祥鸟。be known as意为“被当作”，主语为单数第三人称，谓语动词也应用单数，且此处描述客观事实，应用一般现在时。故填is known。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意为：1981年，在陕西省的汉中仅仅发现了7只野生朱鹮，这揭开对这种鸟的保护和繁殖的序幕。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，对前面整个主句作补充说明，关系词在从句中充当主语，应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意为：在接下来的几年里，中国向日本和韩国送去了一些朱鹮，这一举动使这种鸟获得了“友谊大使”的绰号。空后为名词years，空前应该使用形容词，follow的形容词形式为following。故填following。
【60题详解】
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意为：来自这三个国家的人对这种鸟有着深厚的感情，它到如今已经成为友谊的象征。空处为从句谓语动词，设空处表明了主句产生的影响，所以需要用现在完成时，主语which指代先行词the bird，为单数意义，助动词用has。故填has become。
61题详解】
考查名词的数。句意为：这不仅为保护和重建两国的鸟类群落创造了条件，而且还在三国的合作下创造了促进生态文明建设桥梁的机会。condition意为“条件”，为可数名词，其前无限定词，且根据句意可知，此处应用复数形式。故填conditions。
【62题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：这不仅为保护和重建两国的鸟类群落创造了条件，而且还在三国的合作下创造了促进生态文明建设桥梁的机会。固定搭配not only… but also… 意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这不仅为保护和重建两国的鸟类群落创造了条件，而且还在三国的合作下创造了促进生态文明建设桥梁的机会。设空处应用形容词修饰后面的名词短语civilization construction，ecology的形容词形式为ecological。故填ecological。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：活动期间，三国的专家分享了他们对保护朱鹮和双边合作的经验和看法。此处特指上文出现的A seminar of the same name，应用定冠词修饰名词event。故填the。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：活动期间，三国的专家分享了他们对保护朱鹮和双边合作的经验和看法。空格前为介词on，应用动名词作介词的宾语。故填protecting。

77. 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。
It was mid-December, and the temperature was a chilly minus 20-degree Celsius. I walked with my head down, passing the homeless beggars and ignoring all of them as usual. Then I saw him, sitting against a building, wrapped in thin cloth, holding a white cup in front of him. I heard his shaky, pitiful voice target me as I sped past him.
“Spare some change ” he asked. “I’ll appreciate it.”
I didn’t even bother looking up at him. In my mind, I briefly pictured him walking into the closest pub and drinking whisky with whatever money he managed to get. Or, maybe he needed another shot of cocaine. See, like most people in the city, it took me only moments to pass judgement on his life.
“I have no money on me.” I said quickly.
Looking back, I feel as though fate had set out that day to teach me a lesson. And it succeeded. Just a few feet past him, I slipped on a piece of ice on the sidewalk! I landed square on my right knee. The acute pain passed throughout as I lay on the ground. Then I heard a familiar voice only inches above me.
“Are you all right ” he asked.
I knew immediately this was the man I had just rushed past. Before tears welled up in my eyes, I saw the smooth, sympathetic look in his eyes.
I held his hand as I struggled to get to my feet. He held my arm as I limped (一瘸一拐地走) to the nearby bus stop and sat on the bench.
“My name is Mike,” he said with concern. “That was quite a fall you took, and you really need to see a doctor.”
“This bus goes past the hospital,” I said quickly, pointing to the bus sign above me.
Mike paused, and a look of sudden realization crossed his face. He pulled out his small white cup and dumped all the change into his hand.
“I know you don’t have any change on you,” he said, “I think this is just enough for you to take the bus.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was overcome with guilt as I remembered the lie I had told him only a few minutes earlier.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Thank you,” he said gratefully when the bus was approaching.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I was overcome with guilt as I remembered the lie I had told him only a few minutes earlier. At that moment I realized that standing in front of me was such a kind and sincere man, different from what I had judged. I turned away from his offering hand, pulled out my wallet and dumped my own change into the palm of my hand. I felt Mike’s eyes on me as I counted through the money that I had told him didn’t even exist. I kept enough money for myself to take the bus to the hospital and then dropped the rest into his white cup. It was worth at least 10 dollars.
“Thank you,” he said gratefully when the bus was approaching. It was so nice of him to reach out one hand to help me stand up, with the other hand holding his cup tightly to his chest. As the bus slowed down in front of me, I turned around to Mike, saying, “You take care of yourself. It is cold outside.” Five minutes ago, I couldn’t have cared about him at all. “I will,” he smiled brightly. “And you take care of your leg.” I limped onto the bus and took a seat by the window. “Mike!” I murmured to myself. “Thank you for what you have taught me!”
