Orla Walsh was not exactly an example of good health. Back in 2014, the 25-year-old then was fully occupied with her work and graduate study in Dublin, mostly eating on the go. "I was feeding on quick, easy food like sandwiches," she said. "I stayed up a lot and the gym was a foreign concept for me for I did not work out at all." That changed the following year when Walsh needed a convenient , reliable and budget-friendly way to get to and from class. "Driving was expensive, and public transportation in the Irish capital left much to be desired," she said. She turned instead to cycling.
At first, Walsh was doubtful. "I didn't want to wear the same suits like other riders because it looked strange for me," she joked. But as soon as she gave it a go, she was spellbound. The six miles she had to cover on her commute(上下班往返) each way didn't seem like so much. "I can't believe how quick and easy that was," Walsh said. "The more I cycled, the easier it got, and I started getting faster. I think what I enjoyed the most was the freedom the bike gave me."
In early 2016, she took the next step and joined a local cycling club, where she took part in long group rides. But something incredible was happening at the same time. As her weekly mileage(里程数) increased, her unhealthy habits fell by the wayside. She cleaned up her diet and cut back on burning the midnight oil. "I gradually got rid of that bad habit after joining in training," she said.
Then, thanks to the encouragement of other club members, she tried open road racing. At first, she was overwhelmed by the competition, getting dropped by other members on every climb. Yet she kept pushing and viewing the failures as learning experience. "I was enjoying the challenges and was more confident," she said.
24. Which of the following can best describe Walsh's lifestyle in 2014
A. Simple. B. Decent. C. Fashionable. D. Unhealthy.
25. What made Walsh turn to cycling
A. Her curiosity about cycling. B. Her wish to break bad habits.
C. Club members' encouragement. D. Poor means of transportation.
26. What does the underlined word "spellbound" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Fascinated. B. Bored. C. Threatened. D. Embarrassed.
27. How did cycling benefit Walsh
A. By inspiring her to realize her dream.
B. By teaching her to brave challenges.
C. By encouraging her to be competitive.
D. By pushing her to connect with others.
C
Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and handle items from a to-do list that gets unnoticed during the work week. But as the weekday does come to an end, many of us are missing out on enjoying the weekend and instead experiencing a sense of anxiety and even fear for the upcoming week. Experts call this phenomenon Sunday scaries.
Sunday scaries, also known as the Sunday blues, arise when individuals expect the upcoming work week with a combination of various factors such as work-related concerns, unfinished tasks, the end of weekend relaxation, and the pressure to start the new week. As a result, individuals may find it challenging to unwind and relax before the new week begins.
A clinical psychologist, Renée Goff, said, "Sunday scaries are more than a physical heaviness for them, but they could even jump out of their skins due to the upcoming week. The negative emotions associated with Sunday scaries can have a significant impact on one’s mental well-being and overall productivity."
"As a matter of fact, such anticipatory anxiety is a natural response that happens in preparation for anything that can cause pain or discomfort," explains psychotherapist Angela Ficken. "Sunday scaries might even start bubbling up as early as Saturday, but tend to become less intense by the time Monday morning rolls around when you start your work week. This doesn't mean we leave them unchecked."
To battle anticipatory anxiety for the upcoming week, individuals can adopt self-care practices that promote relaxation and stress reduction. This may include engaging in hobbies, spending time in nature, exercising, practicing mindfulness or simply dedicating time to disconnect from work-related thoughts. Additionally, we can organize tasks for the upcoming week in advance to create a sense of control, reduce the Sunday scaries and promote a healthier work-life balance.
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic of the text.
B. To tell background for the text.
C. To offer suggestions to readers.
D. To stimulate readers to imagine.
29. How does -Renée Goff find-Sunday scaries
A. Avoidable. B. Imaginary. C. Harmful. D. Normal.
30. What can be inferred about Sunday scaries from Angela Ficken's words
A. They strengthen on Monday morning.
R. They tend to die down before Saturday.
C. They will in no case disappear naturally.
D. They should be brought to our attention.
31. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. Theoretical basis for Sunday scaries.
B. Approaches to fighting Sunday scaries.
C. Positive aspects of anticipatory anxiety.
D. Extreme suffering from Sunday scaries.

We all love butterflies. Their beautiful wings attract us, and their presence lights up our garden. Well, that's our view of butterflies, but have you ever wondered what plants think of them
The butterflies’ eggs lie on the underside of the leaves. The eggs themselves don't damage plants. However, upon coming into contact with the eggs, the plants become oversensitive. It means that once a plant recognizes a pest, it will cause death in the contacted plant part. When these dead leaves or partial leaf parts break away from the plant, the eggs on them fall off. Along with the hypersensitivity response, plants also produce something special, which can attract animals to eat the eggs, thus preventing damage in the future.
After the baby butterflies come out of their eggs, the caterpillar(毛虫) stage begins. Most caterpillars feed on the leaves of the plants, damaging some of the plants in your own garden. Incredibly, they are major plant pests that bring about major losses to farmers. The next stage is pupa(蛹). The caterpillars begin their change into an adult. They don't depend on the energy that the leaves provide. Finally, they become adult butterflies that have wings and move from one plant to the other. They feed on the sweet liquid produced by flowers.
While on their search for food, the butterflies carry pollen(花粉) on their body. They are key pollinators that place pollen from one flower to another in ecosystem. Plants that have flowers will create some special features to draw these pollinators' attention. Certain plants have flowers giving off smells that can charm butterflies when they are looking for a mate. Some plants even have flat flowers to assist butterflies when landing.
Butterflies aid in pollination during their final adult stage. Thus, they change into beneficial insects to plants. This change makes butterflies an important friend of plants, despite being a hated enemy in previous life cycle stages!
32. How does a plant respond to butterflies' eggs
A. It tries to get rid of them.
B. It tries to appeal to them.
C. It grows a little better with them.
D. It protects them from being eaten.
33. When do butterflies cause the greatest damage to agriculture
A. In the period of egg-laying.
B. In the period of caterpillar.
C. In the period of pupa.
D. In the period of adult.
34. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Describe the process of pollination.
B. Stress the importance of pollination.
C. Show how flowers attract butterflies.
D. Explore how adult butterflies develop.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why do flowers need butterflies' pollination
B. How do plants defend themselves from pests
C. Are butterflies’ life cycles similar to the plants’
D. Are butterflies beneficial or harmful to plants

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。
In 1940、I worked in the checkroom of the railway station. I saw everybody that came up the stairs.
Harry was a young man who came to the station and waited at the head of the stairs for the passengers from the 9:05 train.
I remembered seeing Harry that first evening. He wasn't much more than a thin, anxious kid then. He was all dressed up and I knew he was meeting his sister, who he hadn't seen for many years.
Well, the passengers came up and I had to get busy. I didn't look toward the stairs again until nearly time for the 9:18 and I was very surprised to see that the Harry was still there. His sister didn't come on the 9:18 either, nor on the 9:40, and when the passengers from the 10:02 had all arrived and left, Harry was looking pretty upset. Pretty soon he came close to my window so I called out and asked him what his sister looked like.
"She's small and dark. She is nineteen years old and very neat in the way she walk," he said. "She has a face that has lots of spirit. I mean she can get mad but she never stays mad for long, and her eyebrows come to a little point in the middle. She's got a brown fur, but maybe she isn't wearing it."
"I couldn't remember seeing anybody like that," I told him.
He showed me the telegram he'd received: ARRIVE THURSDAY. MEET ME AT THESTATION. MAY. It was from Omaha, Nebraska. "Well," I finally said, "why don't you phone to your home She's probably called there if she got in ahead of you."
He gave me a sick look. "I've only been in the town for two days We were going to meet and then drive down to the south of the city where I've got a job. She doesn't have my address."
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。
When I came on duty the next day, Harry was still there and I asked more about his sister. One day, after about two weeks, I thought I could say something encouraging to him.

(Text 10)
M: Hello, everyone. Do you know Ben Nevis It's the highest mountain in Britain. Today I'll tell you my experience of climbing it. It was in February. Our route was up the north face of the mountain to Tower Ridge. We planned to camp for three days in the "Corries", which are like big bowls cut into the walls of the mountain halfway up. Although the weather forecast was perfect, with no winds or snow, there was still a general feeling of nervousness when we set out. The group soon climbed and my legs felt heavy. Being the weakest member of the group, I had to rest more frequently. The others sometimes stopped for a break to let me catch up. After 200 meters, we reached the beginning of Tower Ridge, the path that would take us to the top of Ben Nevis. After seven hours of climbing, we reached the top. On a clear day, you can see the sea and right across it to the island of Skyey. On Ben Nevis, getting back to camp can be as much of a challenge as going up. You need to be able to read a map properly—a wrong turn would lead to dangerous places to go down in winter. When I finally came back to the tent, I couldn't say I really enjoyed the experience, but at least I made it to the top.
