When you picture yourself in your 80s, what do you see Many people imagine a life of comfort, but best friends Sandy Hazelip and Ellie Hamby see things a little bit differently. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Sandy said. “If you don’t use it, you lose it.”
Those are words to live by for these two people! Ellie and Sandy are from the same city, but they met while traveling in Africa many years ago. Ellie, an international documentary photographer, has traveled to 107 countries and visited all 7 continents (洲) for her work. Sandy, or Dr. Sandy as she’s known, is a physician.
Two years ago, the now-81-year-olds started planning an adventure they called “Around the World at 80”, inspired by the Jules Verne novel, “Around the World in 80 Days”. Their goal was to travel to all seven continents, see 9 Wonders of the World, and visit 18 countries in about two-and-a-half months. Unluckily, their plans were put on hold for a few years due to COVID-19 pandemic, but in 2023 they finally hit the road with a new motto: “81 and still on the run!”
So far they’ve seen the Northern Lights, stood in the shadow of the Easter Island statues, played with penguins in Antarctica, gone dog-sledding, flown over Mt. Everest in an airplane, and enjoyed many other fabulous short journeys. Everywhere they go, they chat with the people they meet and make new friends, which is all part of their mission. “The Number One thing is meeting people,” said Ellie. “We love people. We just love to talk to people, and the world is full of the greatest, most exciting, most interesting people.”
Nothing slows these two seniors down, not even total knee replacements for both of them. Ellie documents their journey with photos on Facebook, and they maintain a blog. Sandy and Ellie hope to inspire others to keep moving into their golden years!
4. What do Sandy’s words in paragraph 1 mean
A. Don’t waste your time. B. Youth and old will never agree.
C. Never too old to learn. D. Happy once, one year younger.

C. Their paln was once put off by the pandemic. D. They have travelled around the world in 80 days.
6. What’s the most important thing for them when travelling to different places

C. Enjoying short journey. D. Meeting new people.
7. According to the passage, what kind of people are the two seniors

【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】

For some people, October is Octobear. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds.
Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.
The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore, ”Fitz said.
Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼)in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far.
Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.”
8. Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska
A. It gained the most pounds. B. It was the heaviest.
C. It presented the best photos. D. It was the most famous.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To show the popularity of fat bears. B. To review the history of the event.
C. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. D. To explain the role of live webcams.
10. What can we learn about Katmai’s bears
A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They face a population decline.
C. They remain difficult to be seen. D. They have a stable food source.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful B. Brown Bears; Winter Survival Is Crucial
C. Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion D. Katmai’s Bears: A Special Beauty Contest
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举行的“胖熊周”活动。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds. (10月5日，阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区拉开了“胖熊周”的序幕，粉丝们根据前后对比照片，投票选出他们认为体重增加最多的那只熊。“熊747”，也被称为“熊力一号”，以68105票获得第一名。它重约1400磅)”可知，粉丝们投给他们认为体重增加最多的熊，所以Bear 747获胜是因为它体重增加得最多。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.(胖熊周始于2014年。一开始只是胖熊星期二。迈克·菲茨(Mike Fitz)是卡特迈(Katmai)的前公园管理员，他注意到直播的网络摄像头显示熊在网上引起了很多评论，所以他让人们在网上为他们最喜欢的胖熊投票。为期一天的活动吸引了1700人投票。2015年，假期延长至一周。去年，近80万人参与其中，使之成为一场全球性的运动)”可推知，本段旨在回顾“胖熊周”的历史。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far. (幸运的是，到目前为止，布鲁克斯河还没有受到这些威胁，卡特迈公园的熊喜欢在此捕鱼)”可知，卡特迈公园的熊有一个稳定的食物来源。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段中“Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. (胖熊周像病毒一样传播开来。粉丝和创作者说，这是因为它展示了一个环保成功的故事)”可知，文章主要介绍了阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举行的“胖熊周”活动，它以一种竞技方式让人们关注熊及它们所居住的生态系统。由此可知，A项“胖熊周：环境保护也可以很快乐”适合作为文章标题。故选A。

By now, nearly everyone knows we can be addicted to our digital devices. The average smartphone user rarely goes two hours without using her device, unlocks her device 50 or more times a day, and swipes or taps on it as many as 2,617 times in the process. The youth are particularly affected: A 2018 Pew Research Center report found that 44 percent of teens said they often check their devices for messages or notifications as soon as they wake up, 54 percent said they spend too much time on their mobile phone, and 42 percent feel anxiety when they do not have it.
A device addiction is quite harmful. It is associated with depression and anxiety. According to the technology research firm Compare Camp, 26 percent of car accidents in the U.S. today are due to the use of smartphones while driving. These problems are obvious to almost everyone; the solutions, less so. Some experts suggest taxation to help limit digital overuse, similar to the way the government discourages tobacco use. Others say the only way to beat an addiction is to quit cold turkey and go device-free.
But in a world of electronic payments, digital documents, and remote work, a truly smartphone-free lifestyle is getting less and less practical. A better—and, for many of us, more reasonable—approach is to manage addictive behavior by moderating device use. This isn’t just a matter of setting screen-time limits you can easily break; rather, you can start to develop specific habits to replace the unhealthy ones that keep sending you back to your phone.
The digital-technology scholar Cal Newport recommends the “phone foyer” method, wherein he leaves his phone by the front door when he walks into his house, and doesn’t put it in his pocket until he leaves again. If he needs to look at it, he does so only in the foyer. Just as the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus taught in his Discourses, “No man is free who is not master of himself.”
12. How does the writer explain phone addiction in paragraph 1
A. By giving reasons. B. By listing numbers.
C By raising questions. D. By making comparisons.
13. What does the underlined phrase “quit cold turkey” mean in paragraph 2
A. Charging a tax. B. Stop eating turkeys.
C. Stop using smartphones. D. Discouraging smoking.
14. Why does the author quote Epictetus in the last paragraph
A. To show respect to Epictetus. B. To prove the “phone foyer” method.
C. To advise people to be a master. D. To inspire people to get rid of phone addiciton.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How to Break a Phone Addiction B. Effect of Phone Addiction on Teens
C. Phone Addiction Ruins Our Freedom D. Device Addiction Contributes to Depression
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了生活中电话成瘾的现象及打破电话成瘾的方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“The average smartphone user rarely goes two hours without using her device, unlocks her device 50 or more times a day, and swipes or taps on it as many as 2,617 times in the process.”（普通智能手机用户很少两个小时不使用她的设备，每天解锁设备50次或更多次，在此过程中刷或点击设备多达2617次）可知，第一段通过列出“two hours”、“50 or more times”和“2,617 times”等数字来表明电话成瘾的严重性，由此可知，作者通过列出数字解释第一段中的电话成瘾。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线短语上句“Some experts suggest taxation to help limit digital overuse, similar to the way the government discourages tobacco use.”（一些专家建议征税以帮助限制数字设备的过度使用，类似于政府劝阻烟草使用的方式）可知，句中介绍的是限制过度使用数字设备的方法，由此可知，其他人说的是唯一的方法是停止使用智能手机，“Stop using smartphones”意为“停止使用智能手机”，选项能够表达画线短语在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The digital-technology scholar Cal Newport recommends the “phone foyer” method, wherein he leaves his phone by the front door when he walks into his house, and doesn’t put it in his pocket until he leaves again. If he needs to look at it, he does so only in the foyer.”（数字技术学者Cal Newport建议采用“电话门厅”的方法，当他走进自己的房子时，把手机放在前门，直到再次离开才把手机放进口袋。如果他需要看的话，他只能在门厅里看）可知，最后一段告诉我们要学会控制我们使用手机的时间；最后一段中“No man is free who is not master of himself.”的意思是“不能掌握自己的人是不自由的”，由此推知，作者在最后一段引用Epictetus的话是为了激励人们摆脱电话成瘾，学会控制自己，控制我们使用手机的时间。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“By now, nearly everyone knows we can be addicted to our digital devices.”（到目前为止，几乎所有人都知道我们可能会沉迷于我们的数字设备）和最后一段关键句“The digital-technology scholar Cal Newport recommends the “phone foyer” method, wherein he leaves his phone by the front door when he walks into his house, and doesn’t put it in his pocket until he leaves again.”（数字技术学者Cal Newport建议采用“电话门厅”的方法，当他走进自己的房子时，把手机放在前门，直到再次离开才把手机放进口袋）可知，文章主要介绍了生活中电话成瘾的现象及打破电话成瘾的方法，“How to Break a Phone Addiction”意为“如何打破电话成瘾”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了中国传统的舞龙。从祈雨仪式演变为感谢好运的民俗，舞龙分化出地方特色，丰富了现代庆祝活动，吸引更多人爱上中国文化，渴望与世界分享。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：传统的艺术形式不断激发人们对其精湛工艺的热情和欣赏。句子中需要连接两个并列的名词passion和appreciation，因此需要使用并列连词and连接。故填and。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：龙年为全国丰富的舞龙传统带来了额外的活力。across the country“在全国各地”，为固定短语。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查动词语态、主谓一致。句意：起初，舞龙是为了祈雨。根据At the beginning可知，事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，且dragon dances与perform“表演”为被动关系，句子应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，be动词用were。故填were performed。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：随着各种民间戏剧的流行，舞龙逐渐从寺庙仪式发展为民间习俗，以感谢好运。句子中需要用副词修饰动词developed，表示“逐渐发展”。而gradual是形容词，表示“逐渐的”，其副词形式为gradually“逐渐”。故填gradually。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：随着时间的推移，舞蹈进一步分化为具有地方特色的表演，为现代庆祝活动增添了激情。本句谓语为has separated into，此处为非谓语动词，且carry“携带，具有”与performance之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，即“表演携带特色”，所以应该使用现在分词形式carrying，作定语。故填carrying。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：随着时间的推移，舞蹈进一步分化为具有地方特色的表演，为现代庆祝活动增添了激情。celebration是可数名词，表示“庆祝活动”，因此需要使用复数形式celebrations，作to的宾语。故填celebrations。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：张凡深，他已经练习舞龙几十年了。本空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Zhang Fanshen，指人，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导。故填who。
【43题详解】
考查时态、主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，张的组织已经吸引了来自该县村庄的1100多名表演者，培训课程也在学校举行。根据句意和句中So far可知，attract“吸引”这一动作开始于过去，持续到现在，句子应用现在完成时，又因主语organization 是第三人称单数，所以助动词用has。故填has attracted。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：越来越多的人爱上了中国伟大的传统文化，这也是中国人想与世界其他国家分享的。固定短语fall in love with表示“爱上”，其中with是介词。故填with。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：越来越多的人爱上了中国伟大的传统文化，这也是中国人想与世界其他国家分享的。want to do sth.表示“想要做某事”，因此需要使用share“分享”的不定式to share，作want的宾语。故填to share。

When you picture yourself in your 80s, what do you see Many people imagine a life of comfort, but best friends Sandy Hazelip and Ellie Hamby see things a little bit differently. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Sandy said. “If you don’t use it, you lose it.”
Those are words to live by for these two people! Ellie and Sandy are from the same city, but they met while traveling in Africa many years ago. Ellie, an international documentary photographer, has traveled to 107 countries and visited all 7 continents (洲) for her work. Sandy, or Dr. Sandy as she’s known, is a physician.
Two years ago, the now-81-year-olds started planning an adventure they called “Around the World at 80”, inspired by the Jules Verne novel, “Around the World in 80 Days”. Their goal was to travel to all seven continents, see 9 Wonders of the World, and visit 18 countries in about two-and-a-half months. Unluckily, their plans were put on hold for a few years due to COVID-19 pandemic, but in 2023 they finally hit the road with a new motto: “81 and still on the run!”
So far, they’ve seen the Northern Lights, stood in the shadow of the Easter Island statues, played with penguins in Antarctica, gone dog-sledding, flown over Mt. Everest in an airplane, and enjoyed many other fabulous short journeys. Everywhere they go, they chat with the people they meet and make new friends, which is all part of their mission. “The Number One thing is meeting people,” said Ellie. “We love people. We just love to talk to people, and the world is full of the greatest, most exciting, most interesting people.”
Nothing slows these two seniors down, not even total knee replacements for both of them. Ellie documents their journey with photos on Facebook, and they maintain a blog. Sandy and Ellie hope to inspire others to keep moving into their golden years!
4. What do Sandy’s words in paragraph 1 mean
A. Don’t waste your time. B. Youth and old will never agree.

C. Strict and professional. D. Responsible and caring.

For some people, October is Octobear. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds.
Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.
The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore, ”Fitz said.
Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼)in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far.
Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.”
8. Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska
A. It gained the most pounds. B. It was the heaviest.
C. It presented the best photos. D. It was the most famous.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To show the popularity of fat bears. B. To review the history of the event.
C. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. D. To explain the role of live webcams.
10. What can we learn about Katmai’s bears
A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They face a population decline.
C. They remain difficult to be seen. D. They have a stable food source.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful B. Brown Bears; Winter Survival Is Crucial
C. Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion D. Katmai’s Bears: A Special Beauty Contest

By now, nearly everyone knows we can be addicted to our digital devices. The average smartphone user rarely goes two hours without using her device, unlocks her device 50 or more times a day, and swipes or taps on it as many as 2,617 times in the process. The youth are particularly affected: A 2018 Pew Research Center report found that 44 percent of teens said they often check their devices for messages or notifications as soon as they wake up, 54 percent said they spend too much time on their mobile phone, and 42 percent feel anxiety when they do not have it.
A device addiction is quite harmful. It is associated with depression and anxiety. According to the technology research firm Compare Camp, 26 percent of car accidents in the U.S. today are due to the use of smartphones while driving. These problems are obvious to almost everyone; the solutions, less so. Some experts suggest taxation to help limit digital overuse, similar to the way the government discourages tobacco use. Others say the only way to beat an addiction is to quit cold turkey and go device-free.
But in a world of electronic payments, digital documents, and remote work, a truly smartphone-free lifestyle is getting less and less practical. A better—and, for many of us, more reasonable—approach is to manage addictive behavior by moderating device use. This isn’t just a matter of setting screen-time limits you can easily break; rather, you can start to develop specific habits to replace the unhealthy ones that keep sending you back to your phone.
The digital-technology scholar Cal Newport recommends the “phone foyer” method wherein he leaves his phone by the front door when he walks into his house, and doesn’t put it in his pocket until he leaves again. If he needs to look at it, he does so only in the foyer. Just as the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus taught in his Discourses, “No man is free who is not master of himself.”
12. How does the writer explain phone addiction in paragraph 1
A. By giving reasons. B. By listing numbers.
C. By raising questions. D. By making comparisons.
13. What does the underlined phrase “quit cold turkey” mean in paragraph 2
A. Charging a tax. B. Stop eating turkeys.
C. Stop using smartphones. D. Discouraging smoking.
14. Why does the author quote Epictetus in the last paragraph
A. To show respect to Epictetus. B. To prove the “phone foyer” method.
C To advise people to be a master. D. To inspire people to get rid of phone addiciton.
