Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists，runners and walkers，but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear.It is a challenge many disabled athletes face，unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.
Newly-formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision- and hearing-impaired(视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.
Jane Britt，president of Achilles Brisbane，who is vision- and hearing-impaired，said，“When we go out，it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”
Ms Cullen and Ms Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the free five-kilometer park run.Their partnership is built on trust，but Ms Britt said that it took time to develop.
Ms Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms Cullen completely.“There was violent rain，my glasses were broken and we were walking together.I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything，and I was going to have to completely trust her.From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in，” she said.
Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane.Ms Allen kept active by rowing，running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse.After nearly giving up completely，she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.
Ms Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane.“But，they found people and matched me to them，” she said.“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
21. What does Paragraph 1 try to show
A. The danger of walking on a busy road. B. The difficulty the disabled athletes face.
C. The exercise people do to keep fit. D. The necessity of building roads for the blind.
22. How does Jane Britt feel about going out alone
A. Relaxed. B. Excited.
C. Worried. D. Bored.
23. What happened in the heavy rain according to Ms Britt
A. She developed a strong sense of teamwork. B. She led Ms Cullen forward on the road.
C. She began to rely on Ms Cullen as her guide. D. She fell down on the ground.
24. What was the best thing Ms Allen has done
A. Asking Achilles Brisbane for help. B. Working in Achilles Brisbane.
C. Exercising non-stop. D. Meeting Tatum.

January is the month recognised as the time to diet (节食)．This year a health expert told me to get serious.I have to take away half of every meal and put a carrot in its place.Every meal She was serious.“We’re dealing with sick fat.There’s no hip (臀部) and all I see is a piece of big bread on your dog’s legs.”
However, it wasn’t my mistake.When we go out, people just keep feeding Eric snacks because he looks so cute.He looks at me when I’m eating my fish so I give him some.
He wasn’t always this way.When he came to us after a short but successful time on the show dog circuit (巡回表演), he was, as you would expect a dog like him to be, well within his healthy weight.But then he came to us and got comfortable knowing this was his “forever home”．His appearance no longer mattered.
He ate everything he could get.Whole blocks of cheese and fresh banana cakes before we pushed everything out of his tongue’s reach.We placed schoolbags high up on the wall.Sometimes, Eric managed to open the schoolbags and carry the lunch boxes in his mouth out through the dog door and into the garden where he happily ate my lovingly prepared offerings.
It’s time for Eric to clean up his act.He’s not to be given pigs’ ears or fish from my dish anymore.I’ve asked my husband to bring a “Nil Orally” sign home from the hospital where he works.I’m going to hang it around Eric’s neck to show everybody that he’s on a diet.
25. What did the health expert say about Eric
A. He was out of shape. B. He had too much bread.
C. He had short and strong legs. D. He needed a couple of pieces of bread.
26. What was Eric like before coming to the author’s home

A. He took them off the kitchen table. B. He played with them in the garden.
C. He hid some food inside them. D. He opened them on his own.
28. What does “Nil Orally” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Clean up. B. Help me. C. Everything is fine. D. Nothing by mouth.

From the age of five，Alison Mbekeani，now in Durham University for her PhD，dreamed of becoming a scientist.But becoming a mother to two children put a brake on her career.She does not expect to return to the lab until her children are 16.Dr.Mbekeani is not alone.One survey in 2019 found that child-care responsibilities led 29% of mothers with a child under 14 to reduce their working hours，compared with just 5% of fathers.
In an ideal world，the government would not have to worry about any of this.Based on their preferences，parents would make a judgment over whether to outsource(外包) child-care or keep it in-house.The question for policymakers is whether parental behavior reflects actual preferences or it is driven by constraints(限制)．
Constraints are an issue.Three in five nonworking mothers say that they would prefer to work，given the right child-care.Families had to fork out an average of ￡260 a week in 2021 for 50 hours of nursery care for a child under two.A tenth of households with a child under five report difficulty meeting such costs.As well as price，availability is a problem.Just 68% of local authorities in England report having enough child-care provision(供应) to serve parents who work full time.
Besides child-care，the benefits that could flow from evening out the gender(性别) imbalance in child-care could also be pretty large.One recent study estimated the gains from shuffling men and women according to ability，pulling productive women into work and kicking unproductive men out.Astonishingly，it was calculated that Britain’s average output per worker could be as much as 30% higher.
Cheaper child-care and gender-balanced responsibility in it are ways out to help mums into work，but policies would need to be designed to target really constrained parents.However，experts also add that giving children the best start in life means shorter，structured days full of interaction.
29. Why is the story of Alison mentioned
A. To confirm an idea. B. To develop the plot.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To introduce the topic.
30. What is the government’s key focus about child-care problem
A. The influence of parents’ final decision. B. The difference of children’s preference.
C. The balance of responsibility to do housework. D. The consistency of parental behavior and actual liking.
31. What does the underlined word “shuffling” mean in paragraph 4
A. Observing. B. Describing. C. Rearranging. D. Protecting.
32. Which is a suggested solution to helping mums into work
A. Reducing child-care fees. B. Strengthening children’s responsibility.
C. Shortening children’s structured days. D. Offering the best life start to children.
D
A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans Can they understand me Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English How important are these differences
Certainly！ there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen ”.

Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and “honor” are American.
These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.

I grew up in a poor family with six brothers,three sisters—a group of foster kids,my father and my wonderful mother.My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table.It’s true that we had little money and few goods,but we got plenty of love and attention.I was very happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.I fell in love with baseball at an early age.I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream.By the time I was sixteen,I had made great progress:I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field.I was also lucky:my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who not only believed in me,but also taught me how to believe in myself.One particular incident(事件) with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever.
It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket—certainly,money for a new bike and new clothes,and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother,which was what I had always dreamed of.The prospect(前景) of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance.Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule.I was afraid of telling my coach,who would certainly be against my plan.I hesitated for several days.At last,I spurred(给……打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us,“If you make your bed,you have to lie in it.” I made up my mind.

57. 【答案】1．competitions 2．an 3．to clear 4．which 5．improving 6．bigger 7．cleaned 8．Inspired 9．With 10．rapidly
【解析】1．考查名词复数。该空所填单词在句中作raced in的宾语，需用compete的名词形式。并且比赛不止一个，故用复数形式。
2．考查冠词。该空表示泛指，important是以元音音素开头的单词，因此该空用an。
3．考查非谓语动词。“to clear away rubbish”是不定式短语作目的状语。
4．考查非限制性定语从句的关系词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰event，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，故用关系代词which。
5．考查非谓语动词。spend time doing sth.表示“某人花时间做某事”。
6．考查形容词比较级。这里指的是活动规模一年比一年大，故用比较级。
7．考查时态。“In 2002”是具体的过去时间状语，谓语动词用一般过去时。
8．考查非谓语动词。“Inspired by the success of his project”是过去分词短语作状语，分词动作与其逻辑主语Kierman之间是动宾关系。
9．考查固定搭配。with the help of ...表示“在……的帮助下”。
10．考查词性转换。该空所填单词在句中修饰谓语动词，需用rapid的副词形式。
58. 【答案】Dear Paul,
Hearing that you run into difficulties with your Chinese listening, I’m writing to express my concern and offer you some advice on how to learn it well.
Your problem is so common among foreign learners that you needn’t worry too much. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!So it’s a good idea to practice Chinese daily. Besides, listening to Chinese radio programs is a better choice, which can not only entertain you, but also improve your listening skills. Additionally, you can communicate with your Chinese teacher who can tell you how to improve your Chinese listening ability effectively.
I hope my advice can be helpful!Wish you all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
59. 【答案】 When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis,he was as angry as I expected him to be.“You have your whole life to work,” he said,with a serious look on his face,“but your playing days are limited.You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging,trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of having money in my pocket and buying my mother a house was worth facing his disappointment in me.“How much are you going to make at this summer job,son ” he demanded.“$3.5 per hour,” I replied in a low voice.
