The Best Cities to Visit with Great Public Transport
New York City, USA
The New York City subway runs 24 hours a day. A single ride costs less than $3. Everyone in New York rides the train, from bankers and politicians to cooks and cleaners. Riding the train is the best way to experience the city, as you’ll hear nearly every language in the world spoken, and you’ll probably also get pleasure by watching some performances. Their shows are usually a real treat for visitors.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Scotland’s main public transport ScotRail system stops in tiny towns and villages along the way in Edinburgh. Trains are clean, on schedule, and easy to use. Edinburgh has many different choices for public transportation. The brand new Edinburgh Trams, which was completed in June 2023, offers a pleasant way to get from central Edinburgh out to the airport.
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City continuously improves its public transportation while placing an increasing number of limitations to cars to ensure clear air. There are various options, like a Metro train network, aboveground light rail, minibuses, and interstate buses that can quickly get you to Tepoztlan, Cuernavaca, Oaxaca and beyond. Unlike the proper Metro trains, which are very simple, with clear signs and maps, minibuses might be a bit confusing for first-time visitors.
Tokyo, Japan
The Tokyo subway system is the major public transport, which is shockingly clean and timely. The Tokyo public transportation system is the best way to get around, which is fast, and far more affordable than taxis, and it goes just about everywhere, including all the popular attractions. The subway card can be used for goods and services all over Japan.
1. What is unique about the New York City subway
A. It rides all day long. B. The tickets are cheap.
C. Passengers can perform by themselves. D. Each passenger speaks a different language.
2. What can be known about the minibuses to Oaxaca
A. They travels about everywhere. B. They might be short of clear signs.
C. They are limited for better air. D. They are friendly to new riders.

“The benefits brought to my life from running are not only physical. Running gets me out of home,” says Youyou, a visually impaired (视觉障碍) runner.
Yachi has been pacing (领跑) for Youyou for several years. They crashed into each other repeatedly when they first tried running with the 30cm-long rope between them. When they run, a 30cm-long blue rope connects Youyou’s left wrist (手腕) to Yachi’s right. They move like each other’s mirror image, using the rope as a form of communication. When Yachi’s and Youyou’s speeds are the same, the rope will naturally relax. The two don’t actually need to talk too much about running. Now, they run like each other’s clones.
Thanks to the rope, running is no longer a lonely task, explains Yachi. “This is a matter of achievements for both of us. Not only am I helping him improve, he is also pushing me to hold on and be strong,” he says.
When preparing for a competition, more pacers join them, forming a running formation. During training, Yao Ying runs in front, Yachi is on Youyou’s left, and Xiao Yu’er is at the back. Watching them run from behind, the unbreakable formation seems to surround (包围) Youyou; but in fact, all of them are surrounded by the unbreakable force of friendship.
Training is no longer the only purpose of their runs. It also allows them to hang out together as friends. When they go out to eat, Youyou doesn’t really like the restaurants that are overly attentive because he’s visually impaired, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
Yachi, Yao Ying and Xiao Yu’er all know Youyou well. No matter what they do, how much progress in running is made, and what exciting competitions are waiting, running has allowed them to connect and head into the unknown together, which in itself is a great achievement.
4. What can be inferred when the rope connecting the runner and the pacer relaxes
A. They have different speeds. B. Their rope should be removed.
C. They need further communication. D. Their running pace is harmonious.
5. What does Yachi think of running with the rope
A. It is a boring task. B. It is a win-win practice.
C. It stops him from running faster. D. It requires him to push the runner.
6 Why does Youyou feel uncomfortable in the restaurants
A. The food is not pleasing. B. He isn’t treated normally.
C. He isn’t offered enough care. D. There are too many people there.
7. What is the suitable title for the text
A. Pacing Is More Than Just Running B. Friendship Develops with Competitions
C. An Excellent Running Team Is Being Formed D. A Visually Impaired Runner Achieves Success
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了 Youyou 是一位视障跑步者，他与领跑员共同训练，最终达到一致的跑步节奏，两人共同进步并因此建立了友谊的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“When Yachi’s and Youyou’s speeds are the same, the rope will naturally relax. (当 Yachi 和 Youyou 的速度相同时，绳子会自然放松。) ”可推断，绳子处于松弛状态说明他们的跑步节奏一致。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“This is a matter of achievements for both ofus. Not only am I helping him improve, he is also pushing me to hold on and be strong (这是我们双方的成就。我不仅帮助他进步，他也在鼓励我要坚持下去，要坚强) ”可推知，Yachi 认为这是一件双赢的事。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“When they go out to eat, Youyou doesn’t really like the restaurants that are overly attentive because he’s visually impaired, which makes him feel uncomfortable. (当他们出去吃饭时，Youyou 并不喜欢那些因为他的视力障碍而过于周到的餐馆，这让他感到不舒服。) ”可知, Youyou 感到不舒服是因为他没有被正常对待。故选 B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Yachi has been pacing (领跑) for Youyou for several years. They crashed into each other repeatedly when they first tried running with the 30cm-long rope between them. (Yachi已经为Youyou领跑好几年了。当他们第一次尝试在他们之间用30厘米长的绳子奔跑时，他们多次撞在一起。)”并通读全文可知文章讲述了领跑员与跑步者共同训练并建立了友谊的故事。A项“Pacing Is More Than Just Running(节奏不仅仅是跑步)”最适合作文章的标题，说明两个人之间达成的默契。故选A。
C
A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night. The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8. But Morocco’s earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco. It’s also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people. It has injured over 2,500 others. The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night. Marrakesh is a big city that’s popular with tourists. Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake. But the old part of the city, called the Medina, was hit hard. The Medina has buildings that are over 1,000 years old.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there are many small villages. Some villages were nearly destroyed. Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks. This is a traditional way of building in Morocco. But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes. Many of these houses collapsed. Some of the bricks turned to sand.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake. In larger cities, rescue efforts seem to be going well.
But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.
But more help is coming. Some countries have offered teams of experts; others have offered emergency supplies.
8. Why was the earthquake in Morocco especially dangerous according to the text
A It was the strongest on record. B. There were too many tourists there.
C. The buildings there were all too old. D. It happened when people were asleep.
9. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Looked beautiful. B. Fell down. C. Lasted long. D. Stood still.
10. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Causes of the earthquake. B. Terrible sights after the earthquake.
C. Difficulties met in rescuing. D. Survivors’ efforts to rebuild the city.
11. Which part of a website can the text appear
A. Culture. B. News. C. Environment. D. Tourism.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在摩洛哥发生的一场强震，此次地震造成了严重损失。震中位置偏远，给救援工作带来不便，当地人民进行自救，外界救援也在赶来。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night.( 这次地震非常危险，因为它发生在夜间)”可知，地震极其危险是因为发生在晚上，这是人们睡觉的时间。故选 D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词前“But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes.( 但它的强度不足以抵御地震)”和画线词后“Some of the bricks turned to sand.( 一些砖块变成了沙子)”可知画线词所在句子应该意为“许多房屋都倒塌了”。故画线词词义与B项“倒塌”意思一致，故选 B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段内容“But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.( 但是，帮助到达山区的偏远地区需要更长的时间。许多这样的村庄很难到达。地震导致山体滑坡，道路堵塞，使这些地方更加难以到达。在一些地区，电话和电力服务也被中断，使这些地方完全被隔绝。这意味着，在一些遥远地区的当地人不得不自己处理这种情况。)”可知，本段讲述救援遇到的困难。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段内容“A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night. The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8. But Morocco’s earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.(周五晚上，摩洛哥发生强烈地震。地震发生在周五晚上11点左右。美国地质调查局(USGS)表示，这次地震的震级约为6.8级。但摩洛哥地震中心记录的地震强度几乎是这个数字的两倍。)”并通读全文可知，本文是新闻报道，介绍了摩洛哥发生了强烈地震，因此应出现在网站的新闻部分，故选B。
D
From 2018 to 2021, about 10 billion snow crabs (蟹) disappeared from the eastern Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska. “It’s a fishery disaster in the truest sense of the word,” says Cody Szuwalski, a fishery biologist.
Usually, as winter’s thick sea ice melts (融化), the meltwater settles on the seafloor, creating a cold-water pool with temperatures below 2° Celsius on the eastern Bering Sea shelf, which makes perfect habitat for snow crabs. But a sea heat wave in the area in 2018 and 2019 prevented the usual amount of sea ice from forming.
After a close study, Szuwalski and his colleagues have found the water temperature probably didn’t kill the crabs directly, as snow crabs in laboratories can survive in waters up to 12℃. Instead, the crabs might have died from hunger. According to the study, the food demand of snow crabs in labs almost double as water temperature rises from 0℃ to 3℃. The crab population reached historic highs in 2018 thanks to great ocean conditions for newborn crabs around 2010. As a result, the crowded crabs probably needed more food, but because of the smaller foraging (觅食) area, they had even fewer resources to sink their claws into.
“It’s just something we didn’t expect, but now we have to live with,” says Christopher Harley, an ocean scientist. Such effects of ocean heat waves are likely to go beyond snow crabs. In answer to climate change, ecosystems in northern areas of the earth, such as Alaska’s, are changing more rapidly than anywhere else. Scientists can try to help predict (预测) and prepare for changes in the future with the aid of former research. “But the future increasingly holds events that have never happened on record before, like the drop in the snow crab population,” Harley says.
12. Which of the following is suitable for snow crabs to live according to the text
A. Quiet warm water. B. Large water area. C. Cold deep water. D. Cold sea surface.
13. What probably directly causes the disappearance of more snow crabs
A. Polluted seawater. B. Inability to fight diseases.
C. Change in water temperature. D. Too little food for so many snow crabs.
14. Why are ecosystems in northern areas of the earth changing
A. To adapt to climate change. B. To force people to reduce activities.
C. To avoid destruction from humans. D. To remove environmental pollution.
15. What does Harley mean when it comes to the prediction for the future based on former research
A. It is useless. B. It is challenging. C. It is economical. D. It is rewarding.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了从2018年到2021年，大约有100亿只雪蟹从阿拉斯加海岸的白令海东部消失了，造成了捕鱼业的灾难，科学研究发现气候变化带来的海洋热浪不利于雪蟹完美栖息地的形成，但雪蟹消失的直接原因是有限的食物资源。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Usually, as winter’s thick sea ice melts (融化), the meltwater settles on the seafloor, creating a cold-water pool with temperatures below 2° Celsius on the eastern Bering Sea shelf, which makes perfect habitat for snow crabs. (通常，随着冬季厚厚的海冰融化，融水沉淀在海底，在白令海东部大陆架上形成一个温度低于2摄氏度的冷水池，这是雪蟹的完美栖息地)”可知，海底低于2摄氏度的冷水池是雪蟹的完美栖息地，因此寒冷的深水适合它们生活。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead, the crabs might have died from hunger. (相反，这些螃蟹可能是死于饥饿)”和“The crab population reached historic highs in 2018 thanks to great ocean conditions for newborn crabs around 2010. As a result, the crowded crabs probably needed more food, but because of the smaller foraging (觅食) area, they had even fewer resources to sink their claws into. (螃蟹数量在2018年达到历史最高水平，这要归功于2010年左右新生螃蟹的良好海洋条件。因此，拥挤的蟹群可能需要更多的食物，但由于觅食区域更小，它们可以抓住的资源就更少了)”可知，这么多的雪蟹只有很少的食物的情况可能直接导致了更多雪蟹的消失。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In answer to climate change, ecosystems in northern areas of the earth, such as Alaska’s, are changing more rapidly than anywhere else. (为了应对气候变化，地球北部地区的生态系统，如阿拉斯加的生态系统，正在以比其他任何地方都快的速度发生变化)”可知，这些区域生态系统的变化是为了适应气候变化。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientists can try to help predict (预测) and prepare for changes in the future with the aid of former research. “But the future increasingly holds events that have never happened on record before, like the drop in the snow crab population,” Harley says. (科学家们可以借助以往的研究成果来帮助预测和准备未来的变化。Harley说：“但未来会发生前所未有的事件，比如雪蟹数量的减少。”)”可知，虽然科学家可以在以往研究的基础上对未来进行预测，但是Harley认为未来很可能发生前所未有的事件，令预测变得困难。由此可知，他认为这种预测是具有挑战性的。故选B项。

But they said he should not believe that and should work hard in his studies instead. But Kiton made up his mind to find the treasure. So he secretly made his plan.
The next day after school, Kiton started off without telling his parents. He reached far into the forest and the night was getting dark. In the dark, he felt as if an animal were following him. So he tried all his best to run. Because he couldn’t see the way clearly, he lost his footing and fell into a pit (坑). He tried but couldn’t get out. He listened, but heard nothing from any animals.

His father said to Kiton, “We were worried about you. We couldn’t imagine living without you.” Kiton felt guilty. Tears welled up in Kiton’s eyes. Thinking that Kiton must be hungry, his parents took Kiton home.

The Best Cities to Visit with Great Public Transport
New York City, USA
The New York City subway runs 24 hours a day. A single ride costs less than $3. Everyone in New York rides the train, from bankers and politicians to cooks and cleaners. Riding the train is the best way to experience the city, as you’ll hear nearly every language in the world spoken, and you’ll probably also get pleasure by watching some performances. Their shows are usually a real treat for visitors.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Scotland’s main public transport ScotRail system stops in tiny towns and villages along the way in Edinburgh. Trains are clean, on schedule, and easy to use. Edinburgh has many different choices for public transportation. The brand new Edinburgh Trams, which was completed in June 2023, offers a pleasant way to get from central Edinburgh out to the airport.
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City continuously improves its public transportation while placing an increasing number of limitations to cars to ensure clear air. There are various options, like a Metro train network, aboveground light rail, minibuses, and interstate buses that can quickly get you to Tepoztlan, Cuernavaca, Oaxaca and beyond. Unlike the proper Metro trains, which are very simple, with clear signs and maps, minibuses might be a bit confusing for first-time visitors.
Tokyo, Japan
The Tokyo subway system is the major public transport, which is shockingly clean and timely. The Tokyo public transportation system is the best way to get around, which is fast, and far more affordable than taxis, and it goes just about everywhere, including all the popular attractions. The subway card can be used for goods and services all over Japan.

“The benefits brought to my life from running are not only physical. Running gets me out of home,” says Youyou, a visually impaired (视觉障碍) runner.
Yachi has been pacing (领跑) for Youyou for several years. They crashed into each other repeatedly when they first tried running with the 30cm-long rope between them. When they run, a 30cm-long blue rope connects Youyou’s left wrist (手腕) to Yachi’s right. They move like each other’s mirror image, using the rope as a form of communication. When Yachi’s and Youyou’s speeds are the same, the rope will naturally relax. The two don’t actually need to talk too much about running. Now, they run like each other’s clones.
Thanks to the rope, running is no longer a lonely task, explains Yachi. “This is a matter of achievements for both of us. Not only am I helping him improve, he is also pushing me to hold on and be strong,” he says.
When preparing for a competition, more pacers join them, forming a running formation. During training, Yao Ying runs in front, Yachi is on Youyou’s left, and Xiao Yu’er is at the back. Watching them run from behind, the unbreakable formation seems to surround (包围) Youyou; but in fact, all of them are surrounded by the unbreakable force of friendship.
Training is no longer the only purpose of their runs. It also allows them to hang out together as friends. When they go out to eat, Youyou doesn’t really like the restaurants that are overly attentive because he’s visually impaired, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
Yachi, Yao Ying and Xiao Yu’er all know Youyou well. No matter what they do, how much progress in running is made, and what exciting competitions are waiting, running has allowed them to connect and head into the unknown together, which in itself is a great achievement.
4. What can be inferred when the rope connecting the runner and the pacer relaxes
A. They have different speeds. B. Their rope should be removed.
C. They need further communication. D. Their running pace is harmonious.
5. What does Yachi think of running with the rope
A. It is a boring task. B. It is a win-win practice.
C. It stops him from running faster. D. It requires him to push the runner.
6. Why does Youyou feel uncomfortable in the restaurants
A The food is not pleasing. B. He isn’t treated normally.
C. He isn’t offered enough care. D. There are too many people there.
7. What is the suitable title for the text
A. Pacing Is More Than Just Running B. Friendship Develops with Competitions
C. An Excellent Running Team Is Being Formed D. A Visually Impaired Runner Achieves Success
C
A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night. The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. The USGS (US Geological Survey) says that the earthquake had a magnitude of about 6.8. But Morocco’s earthquake center recorded the earthquake as being almost twice that strong.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco. It’s also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people. It has injured over 2,500 others. The earthquake was extremely dangerous because it happened at night. Marrakesh is a big city that’s popular with tourists. Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake. But the old part of the city, called the Medina, was hit hard. The Medina has buildings that are over 1,000 years old.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there are many small villages. Some villages were nearly destroyed. Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks. This is a traditional way of building in Morocco. But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes. Many of these houses collapsed. Some of the bricks turned to sand.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake. In larger cities, rescue efforts seem to be going well.
But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach far areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some areas far away have had to deal with the situation on their own.
But more help is coming. Some countries have offered teams of experts; others have offered emergency supplies.
8. Why was the earthquake in Morocco especially dangerous according to the text
A. It was the strongest on record. B. There were too many tourists there.
C The buildings there were all too old. D. It happened when people were asleep.
9. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Looked beautiful. B. Fell down. C. Lasted long. D. Stood still.
10. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Causes of the earthquake. B. Terrible sights after the earthquake.
C. Difficulties met in rescuing. D. Survivors’ efforts to rebuild the city.
11. Which part of a website can the text appear
A. Culture. B. News. C. Environment. D. Tourism.
D
From 2018 to 2021, about 10 billion snow crabs (蟹) disappeared from the eastern Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska. “It’s a fishery disaster in the truest sense of the word,” says Cody Szuwalski, a fishery biologist.
Usually, as winter’s thick sea ice melts (融化), the meltwater settles on the seafloor, creating a cold-water pool with temperatures below 2° Celsius on the eastern Bering Sea shelf, which makes perfect habitat for snow crabs. But a sea heat wave in the area in 2018 and 2019 prevented the usual amount of sea ice from forming.
After a close study, Szuwalski and his colleagues have found the water temperature probably didn’t kill the crabs directly, as snow crabs in laboratories can survive in waters up to 12℃. Instead, the crabs might have died from hunger. According to the study, the food demand of snow crabs in labs almost double as water temperature rises from 0℃ to 3℃. The crab population reached historic highs in 2018 thanks to great ocean conditions for newborn crabs around 2010. As a result, the crowded crabs probably needed more food, but because of the smaller foraging (觅食) area, they had even fewer resources to sink their claws into.
“It’s just something we didn’t expect, but now we have to live with,” says Christopher Harley, an ocean scientist. Such effects of ocean heat waves are likely to go beyond snow crabs. In answer to climate change, ecosystems in northern areas of the earth, such as Alaska’s, are changing more rapidly than anywhere else. Scientists can try to help predict (预测) and prepare for changes in the future with the aid of former research. “But the future increasingly holds events that have never happened on record before, like the drop in the snow crab population,” Harley says.
12. Which of the following is suitable for snow crabs to live according to the text
A. Quiet warm water. B. Large water area. C. Cold deep water. D. Cold sea surface.
13. What probably directly causes the disappearance of more snow crabs
A. Polluted seawater. B. Inability to fight diseases.
C. Change in water temperature. D. Too little food for so many snow crabs.
14. Why are ecosystems in northern areas of the earth changing
A. To adapt to climate change. B. To force people to reduce activities.
C. To avoid destruction from humans. D. To remove environmental pollution.
15. What does Harley mean when it comes to the prediction for the future based on former research
A. It is useless. B. It is challenging. C. It is economical. D. It is rewarding.
