The joys of the night ride were the joys of feeling present in my body again. Cycling felt like a celebration of dynamic energy, of blood and bone. A reminder that my body was still healthy and functioning despite the two heart operations I had as a kid, which took me out of sports entirely. I remember the doctor’s orders: no football, no physical education.
They told me I was fragile (脆弱的), and so I became fragile. I was in middle school then. It felt as if my body had been taken away from me. They put me in a combination swing- dance-and-painting-class instead. But the doctors never said no cycling, and for a brief moment in central Texas, biking became more popular than football, which saved my social life. I still believe that the speed, the wind and the blood in the ears on a silent street can do that to my body—bring it back to life once again.
As time wore on, I developed an affection for the night ride. Below the whoosh (呼啸声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets.
There was a frivolity (轻松感) to the night ride, too, a kind of frivolity I hadn’t felt past years. I’d spent so much time sitting at a desk, sitting in bed, sitting on a sofa. My days were defined by constant anxiety and fear, and the world felt like a thing that happened to me, not something I could participate in. But during the night ride, I paid attention only to the moment. If I didn’t, I’d hit the pothole (坑洼) in the road. So by necessity, I became present, and I felt present, which is to say everything started to feel fun again.
24．What made the author have to choose the night ride
A．Doctors’ advice. B．Poor health. C．Heavy schoolwork. D．Cycling’s popularity.
25．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The author’s energy got restored. B．The author’s figure got reshaped.
C．The author’s body became flexible. D．The author’s mind became strong.
26．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The changes of the author’s life. B．The difficulties in biking at night.
C．The reasons for enjoying the night ride. D．The doubts about the author’s social life.
27．What does the author want to convey by mentioning the past in the last paragraph
A．Life is about going with the flow. B．The past is full of endless regrets.
C．Living for the moment is necessary. D．Learning from the past is invaluable.

The fast autonomous logging machine advanced down a Swedish forest path and scanned for piled logs to transport. It then lifted them up and loaded them onto its trailer. A new study of the truck-size robot suggests it could help forest workers with at least some deadly jobs.
“It’s the first trial for us to see that the machine we built is perhaps capable of doing what we were dreaming it could do,” says Pedro La Hera, a roboticist and lead author of the study. Traditional logging jobs are often requiring operators to multitask and bear nearly constant vibration (振动) while operating logging vehicles. Tired foresters don’t always pay attention to other plants in the area, thus damaging the ecosystems around them. Logging is also dangerous; in the U. S., it has one of the highest death rates of any industry.
Roboticists, software engineers and forestry scholars in Sweden set out to automate some logging tasks. They used GPS to set a path in a clear-cut area and equipped the vehicle with a computer vision system to help it identify, pick up and release cut logs. The predetermined task sequence (序列) demonstrates how, in a controlled environment, a machine with little to no human oversight could operate.
“We have problems getting help working in the woods,” says Thomas Douglass, a logger in Guilford, Maine, “So it’s definitely an advancement.”
For now these vehicles’ use may be limited to Sweden, where nearly all paths in forests are well identified, and satellites provide information on logged areas. Loggers in the U. S., in contrast, harvest trees both in plantations and in natural stands where self-piloted machinery would face more challenges.
Still, the research highlights aspects of autonomous machinery that are worth developing further, says Dalia Abbas, a forester who has investigated the effects of logging operations in environmentally sensitive areas. Eventually, Abbas says, she “would definitely hope that it takes into account the fuller range of where it’s operating, whether it carries wildlife, other contaminants (污染物) or insects that come with the logs to avoid any harm, and its sensitivity to the terrain (地形).”
28．Which of the following best describes the traditional logging jobs
A．Demanding and risky. B．Tiring but rewarding.
C．Profitable but dangerous. D．Promising and creative.
29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Where the logging machinery works best.
B．What challenges the logging machinery faces.
C．How the logging machinery achieves automation.
D．Why GPS technology is used in the logging process.
30．Why is the use of automated logging vehicles restricted to Sweden
A．Its loggers are well equipped. B．Its forests are fully monitored.
C．Its roads are specially designed. D．Its logged areas are easily accessible.
31．What is a future consideration for developing the logging machine
A．Its capacity of loading logs. B．Its impact on the ecosystem.
C．The replacement of human labor. D．The convenience of its operation.
D
Imagine journeying down the highway when you notice your fuel tank running low. Your GPS indicates 10 gas stations. Naturally, you want the cheapest option. You pass the first handful and observe their prices before approaching one with a seemingly good deal. Do you stop, without knowing how sweet the bargains could get up the road Or do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand How do you decide when to explore further and when to decide on a choice
As a fascinating recent Big Think article explains in detail, no matter what choice you’ re making, mathematicians claim the 37 percent rule applies. Spend the first 37 percent of your decision-making process gathering information and committing to nothing. After that, choose the next option that comes along that’s better than everything you’ve seen before. This rule gives you the highest probability of making the superior choice.
Applying this precise rule will simplify messy reality. If you’ve given yourself a month to hunt for a most comfortable apartment, the 37 percent rule suggests you spend the first third or so of that surveying the market and making no decisions. If you’re hiring an assistant and plan to interview 10 candidates, let the first three go by. Then choose the next person who beats that first bunch.
What if an absolutely brilliant candidate just happens to be the first one you come across Following this rule might end up complaining and wondering, “What if ” It is true that matters of the heart aren’t logical, and this rule only maximizes probabilities. It doesn’t guarantee success. So if lightning strikes or the angels sing and you’ re absolutely sure you’ve found the perfect match for you, don’t let inflexible rules stand in the way.
But even if it’s unwise to blindly follow the 37 percent rule in every instance, that doesn’t make it unhelpful. Spending roughly the first third of your decision-making process gathering information can help you resist fear of missing out. Knowing that you should secure the first candidate who beats the options you previously explored can help you gather the courage to make decisions.
32．What does the underlined phrase “the bird in hand” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．A sweeter bargain ahead. B．The first GPS recommendation.
C．The previous cheaper gas station. D．A more suitable route on the journey.
33．Which of the following is an example of the 37 percent rule
A．Choosing the 1st from 100. B．Choosing the 36th from 100.
C．Choosing the 37th from 100. D．Choosing the 38th from 100.
34．What is the writing purpose of paragraph 4
A．To offer a reminder. B．To give an example.
C．To prove a conclusion. D．To make an assumption.
35．How does the 37 percent rule benefit us
A．It boosts our self-confidence. B．It enhances our ability to analyze data.
C．It strengthens our links with the society. D．It improves our decision-making efficiency.

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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gifts are so meaningful that many believe that gifts from their romantic partner are a big way they can understand how much their partner loves them. 36 But in fact, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language. This leads to the question: Why do most people say that gift-giving stresses them out
Part of the problem is that occasions that involve gift-giving are filled with uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. 37 Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you’ re considering giving him a light therapy (光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as“just what they needed.” But what if the lamp-receiver interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of comment on their current state
Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you’ve given. 38 The idea, simply put, is that bad outcomes have a stronger psychological impact than comparable good outcomes. Few baseball fans remember all the ground balls that Bill Buckner fielded cleanly, but many remember the one that went through his legs.
Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. 39
40 When done carefully, it can be a wonderful way to communicate to loved ones that we appreciate and understand them. Gifts can absolutely draw people closer together, in a lasting way.
A．The smell of a bad gift can delay.
B．However, gift-giving is not all bad, of course.
C．Uncertainty can also result from different categories of gifts.
D．There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond.
E．Soon you may be in a state of paying for your such kind of over performance.
F．Indeed, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to create delight.
G．Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt.

Finally, at 19:00, my big brother rushed home, 52 saying, “Daniel… bike accident…” I immediately felt 53 —Daniel was always breaking toes and skinning knees. But when hearing “… no helmet (头盔)… face first…”, I thought to myself, “It wasn’t funny anymore.” That night Daniel didn’t come home.
His tooth was lost. His face was a horrible 54 , black and blue and bright red. My poor Daniel! Now we were pretty much even (扯平的) because it 55 a lot to scare a big sister.

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。
Paula was a cheerful girl who enjoyed exploring the world around her. She slipped into her grandfather’s attic (阁楼) at one time and found a kite in the corner. It was made by his grandfather when he was a child, and he claimed it belonged to Paula.
One day, the wind whispered promises of a good flying day. Paula could hardly contain her excitement when grandfather agreed to fly the kite with her. She grabbed the kite and dashed towards the open field nearby, her heart pounding with anticipation.
However, as soon as she started running, the kite kept getting tangled (缠绕) up in its own string! She tried pulling it apart with no luck. “This isn’t how I imagined this would go,” she said to herself.
Then her grandfather noticed how upset Paula was feeling and he stepped in to help. He showed her how to hold onto the handle while he worked on untying the whole string. “Don’t worry, Paula,” he said, “Flying kites can be tricky sometimes, but it’s also about learning and having fun.” Encouraged by her grandfather’s words, Paula decided to keep trying again.
At first, it didn’t seem like things were getting any better—every time she threw the kite into the air, it would just drop back down onto the ground. Paula tried again and again, feeling much more confident. She carefully held onto the handle and threw her kite into the air… and this time it flew! The string slid through her fingers smoothly now! From that day on, all activities gave way to kite flying.
For Paula, days spent flying kites was not just about the joy of flying, but also about the stories told by the circling kite. She felt each circle, each dive, each gust (一阵) of wind carry a new tale. Each story was unique, much like the kite itself. Paula would listen attentively, her imagination taking flight.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, a gust of wind took the kite higher than ever before.
Failing to find the kite, Paula and her grandfather decided to make a new one.

Dear Jack,
I’ve just fetched the Chinese herbal medicine for your ankle injury from the clinic. It helps promote blood circulation and relieve swelling. Here are the instructions for you.
The herbal medicine needs to be taken continuously for seven days, three times a day, one packet each time. Remember to heat the packet before taking the medicine so that the medicine can take better effect. During the treatment period, raw, cold, and spicy foods should be avoided.
I wish you would recover fast and move freely as before.
Best regards,
Li Hua

One possible version:
One day, a gust of wind took the kite higher than ever before. Paula could barely see it against the bright blue of the sky. Just as she was pulling the string back, she felt a strong drag. The kite danced wildly in the sky, pulling away with all its might, as if it were being called by the clouds. Suddenly, the string broke! Paula stood motionless, watching her kite disappear into the endless blue. Quickly having collected herself, she dashed home and told her grandfather what had happened. They searched everywhere and there was no sign of it.
Failing to find the kite, Paula and her grandfather decided to make a new one. Grandfather created a wooden cross, spread some paper over it and glued them together. Then Paula painted what she liked on the paper. With a long string fastened onto the frame, a new colorful kite was born. It was just like a vividly colored butterfly. Hugging her grandfather tightly with a brilliant smile, she couldn’t wait to try flying it. This time, with her new friend circling high above in the sky, she heard the most moving story about love between grandfather and granddaughter.
