As Hallee McCoombes approaches the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids with disability in the 2022 School Sport Australia Track & Field Championships in Brisbane, the crowd is cheering wildly and chanting her name. With only ten metres to go, Hallee tunes out all the noise and pushes forward with every ounce of her strength. She doesn’t have any feeling in her waist or below her knees, but pain burns her upper legs. When Hallee crosses the finish line and collapses into an exhausted heap, her twin, Jada, scoops her up in her arms. “You came in third!” she whispers to Hallee.
Born with spina bifida, Hallee underwent immediate surgery to repair her spinal cord and close her back. As months passed, the McCoombes were surprised to see Hallee hitting her developmental milestones shortly after Jada did: talking, rolling over, crawling. “Her only big delay was walking.” says Gavin, her father. But Hallee had a secret weapon: a twin sister she was desperate to keep up with. “Jada definitely helped her with her disability.” Once Hallee started walking on her own at age three, her determination to keep up with Jada only grew stronger.
Shortly after the McCoombes moved to Elliott Heads, Jada declared that she wanted to be a runner. After watching Jada’s first training session of Little Athletics, Hallee turned to her parents and said, “I can do that, too. Sign me up.”
Would she even be able to run “She has issues with her balance and her muscle power.” explains Gavin, “which means she had to work hard to maintain upper leg muscle and core support.” But Hallee’s parents had such strong belief in her that they signed her up. Sure enough, soon she was running with Jada.
Hallee’s passion for athletics has been transformative, helping her both physically and mentally. When asked what she would say to other children with disability, Hallee offers two powerful pieces of advice: “Don’t listen when people say you can’t do something. And, try your best.”
24. What can we learn about Hallee McCoombes from the first two paragraphs
A. She made it to the finish line aching all over.
B. She won third place carried by her twin sister Jada.
C. To catch up with Jada motivated her to overcome her disability.
D. The milestones of her growth like talking and walking amazed her parents.
25. What was the challenge facing Hallee to enter Little Athletics
A. Her father’s doubt. B. Her lack of confidence.
C. Training with her sister. D. Maintaining her core strength.
26. Which of the following best describes Hallee McCoombes
A. Positive and patient. B. Determined and persistent.
C. Courageous and humble. D. Stubborn and hard-working.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Great Family of Hallee McCoombes

When margarine（人造黄油） was first sold in the 1800s, plentiful alarmist words were uttered about it. However, it was simply a cream of vegetable oil and water, a processed, more sustainable and healthier alternative to an animal product. Anxiety about new foods and how they are produced continue s today. Public discussions are full of concerns that “ultra-processed foods” or “UPFs” are downright unhealthy. One particular category in a fierce spotlight is plant-based meats. But how and where food is made doesn’t determine how safe or nutritious it is.
The term UPFs was first used in 2009 by Carlo s Monteiro, a nutritionist. In a 2017 paper, he said he was worried that the shared experience of cooking was being increasingly lost and people weren’t eating together. In particular, he was seeing rising rates of diabetes and obesity. Keen to identify the root cause of these issues, he focused on food not made at home, but in factories. But the thing is, as Monteiro has stated openly, the UPF categorisation was never designed to group foods on the basis of nutrition.
Just like pork sausages and chicken popcorn, plant-based alternatives are made in factories, so are considered UPFs. But unlike those animal products, they don’t require antibiotics（抗生素） or hormones during production, require up to 96 percent less land, have carbon emissions up to 98 percent lower, need up to 99 percent less water and result in 100 percent fewer animals dying.
And side by side, they are almost always healthier than the over-processed animal meat products they replace, especially on fat and fibre content. Just compare the labels on the packets next time you are in the supermarket.
Many loud voices are raising concerns, suggesting that all UPFs, especially plant-based meats, are “unnatural”, “fake” and “full of chemicals”. We are seeing history repeat itself, and a fear of new foods being aroused all over again. But the science is unmistakably clear: diets rich in plant-based options are better for both people and the planet, factory or no factory.
28. Why does the author mention margarine in paragraph 1
A. To stress the sales dilemma margarine faced before.
B. To illustrate people’s misunderstanding about margarine.
C. To show the ignored benefits of margarine to people’s health.
D. To emphasize people’s longstanding worry about novel foods.
29. Why did Monteiro create the UPF categorisation
A. To classify the food made at home.
B. To encourage people to cook and eat together.
C. To discover the cause of some rising health problems.
D. To determine the nutrition level of factory-produced food.
30. What do the numbers in paragraph 3 imply
A. Plant-based meats are more ecofriendly.
B. Plant-based meats shouldn’t be considered as UPFs.
C. Plant-based meats will replace UPF animal meat products.
D. Plant-based meats are healthier than sausages and popcorn.
31. What does the author think of the concern over plant-based meats
A. Unnecessary. B. Temporary. C. Reasonable. D. Alarming.
D
We have all experienced that feeling of mental exhaustion after focusing on a tricky problem. Detailed thinking certainly feels like hard work, but is it The answer is a touch more subtle than you might suspect. Intriguingly, when it comes to energy use, the brain doesn’t distinguish between tasks that we traditionally regard as “hard” and those that come more naturally. This was first demonstrated in the 1950s in a study showing that the brain’s level of metabolism（新陈代谢） is remarkably constant, regardless of whether we are concentrating on mental math or letting our mind wander.
Your brain assigns resources to its different parts depending on the mental activity being carried out. But there is a trade-off. “When the demand of a mentally challenging task increases, you see increased metabolism in the neurons（神经元） responsible for the task,” says Nilli Lavie at University College London. Meanwhile, you see corresponding decreases in other brain areas. For instance, Lavie and her colleagues measured energy use in the brain region responsible for daydreaming and found that it decreased when volunteers carried out a problem-solving task that required focused attention. So thinking hard does burn more energy in the brain region involved, but this is offset by energy savings in other parts of the brain.
However, your brain doesn’t see it that way. “It worries about an imbalance of supply over demand,” she says. When the brain detects exhaustion of glucose（葡萄糖） — the sugar that fuels the brain — in any region, it perceives it as something bad. This is what gives rise to the feeling of being worn out after continuous focus.
So, after a tough exam, the sensation of having burned through a supercomputer’s worth of energy is real, though your brain has used few or no extra calories overall. “There is a constant rate of neural energy in the brain,” says Lavie. “It is irrelevant whether it is spent on a task requiring concentration or on a distraction.”
32. What is the main idea of paragraph 1
A. We all get tired after hard focus.
B. Thinking hard doesn’t use more energy.
C. A study shows the brain’s metabolism level.
D. Detailed thinking is considered harder than mind wandering.
33. What will happen to the region for daydreaming when you’re highly focused
A. It burns an increased rate of calory.
B. It stimulates the neurons for the task.
C. It’s also involved in the task and requires energy.
D. It reduces neural activity and spares more energy.
34. Which of the following best replaces the word “offset” underlined in paragraph 2
A. Balanced. B. Absorbed. C. Dominated. D. Released.
35. Why does a mentally challenging task lead to more tiredness
A. The brain detects signals of high energy demand.
B. The brain is punishing you for working too hard.
C. The brain is losing the balance of energy supplying.
D. The brain gets bored easily and refuses to be engaged.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。
Life presents challenges at every stage, leading to inevitable stress. Developing coping abilities and maintaining a positive mindset can greatly benefit emotional, mental, and physical well-being. 36
Exercise and stretch.
When teenagers carry a lot of stress, it can create significant muscle tension within the body. Stretching and yoga, especially, will help to relieve this physical strain and provide a sense of release. Though, any type of exercise will do the trick, like jogging, stretching, weight training, etc.
Listen to music.
Sometimes a walk outdoors with a soothing playlist is the best remedy（治疗法） to stress. 37 Listening to music will facilitate positive thoughts, social skills, and a sense of peace when stressed. Essentially, chill songs with a gentle melody will help to slow down a racing mind and heartbeat.
Talk to someone.
Believe it or not, complaining can have a positive impact on mental health. 38 Teens can choose to talk to a close friend, teacher, or another family member. As long as they’re talking about what’s on their mind and what’s stressing them out, the chances are they will feel like a load is lifted off their shoulders afterward.
39
Sleep and stress are directly related. When dealing with a particularly difficult situation, it can get in the way of a good night’s sleep. People who tend to internalize（内化） emotions may struggle to unwind, resulting in increased stress and sleeplessness. Learning to relax can manage stress at night.
Maintain healthy eating habits.
Stress or emotional eating is a behavior a teen may experience during times of increased stress. But it’s contributing to a greater harmful cycle. 40 Instead, kids should focus on enjoying food and eating because they’re hungry, not because they’re stressed or overwhelmed.
A. Luckily, teens love their music.
B. Get 8 hours of sleep every night.
C. It is natural for teens to listen to music.
D. Certainly, solutions are available to most of us in theory.
E. Parents aren’t the only people they can pour out their heart to.
F. Overeating to deal with feelings of stress can lead to guilt or shame afterward.
G. However, in a world that’s widely overwhelming, doing so is easier said than done.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’m good at making excuses. I came up with a new one every time the idea of returning to college presented itself. I had enrolled in a university at 21 but later quit. As the years passed, I regretted not finishing my English degree. But I always comforted myself with excuses — I have three little ones who need me at home. I’m busy with the children’s school activities. I can’t go back to school at 50. Old dogs can’t learn new tricks.
The truth was that I was just plain scared to go back to school. What if I needed remedial（补习的）courses What if a professor called attention to me What if I walked into a classroom and there was nowhere to sit What if I stood out in a sea of young faces
After my children finished college, they insisted it was my turn, so I called Dalton State College and set up a time to take the Compass Test to see if I needed remedial courses. The next day, when I was on the highway heading there, Rachel, my middle child called. When she learned my destination, I heard the pride in her voice. “You’ve got this, Mama!”
That was all it took. Hot tears tumbled down my cheeks as she spoke words of encouragement to me. It turned out that I scored high on the English test but would need to take two remedial courses for the math section. But I didn’t care. After decades of excuses, I’d finally thrown my leg over the high fence of fear. I couldn’t wait to register for classes.
My first course was U. S. History. I’ve never been good with dates, but the professor calmed my nerves. “I don’t care about dates, but I expect you to know the names of significant individuals. For instance, who was the first person to set foot on the moon ”
“Neil Armstrong,” chorused several students.
“Does anyone know when that event took place ”
My heart leapt at the question, because I was celebrating my fifteenth birthday on that day!
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。
Since it might be the only question I could answer, I sheepishly raised my hand. Other fears didn’t turn into reality either.

A possible version:
Since it might be the only question I could answer, I sheepishly raised my hand. The professor’s eyes met mine, “Yes, you.” He nodded in my direction. In a near-whisper, I uttered the exact date, arousing a surprised murmur throughout the classroom. So I added, “The landing took place on my fifteenth birthday.” The professor’s eyes twinkled with amusement, and a warm chuckle escaped his lips. “Ah, a birthday landing! Well, I must say, having a front-row seat to history is quite the advantage, wouldn’t you agree ” His lighthearted response put me at ease. It was a small victory owing to a beautiful coincidence, but it boosted my confidence. My fear of drawing attention to myself melted away quietly, as I realized perhaps, I wasn’t as out of place as I had assumed.
Other fears didn’t turn into reality either: I successfully finished the remedial courses. I found a seat in every class, and no professor singled me out. As for my fear of standing out in a sea of young faces, I’d forgotten all about it since the other students welcomed me to their lunch table, “friended” me on Facebook, and collaborated on class projects. The encouragement from my children and the reassurance from the young folks gave me the strength to push past my fears. As the semester progressed, I eagerly absorbed new information and engaged in discussions, feeling a sense of accomplishment with each passing day. It was a journey of rediscovery, and I was determined to make the most of this second chance at pursuing my dreams.

W: Well, that must be why there are so many new expensive restaurants and clubs.
