Helen Clitheroe was 32 when she started doing the steeplechase (障碍赛跑). British Athletics encouraged her to try it because 2008 would be the first time women’s steeplechase was in the Olympics. She had never jumped over barriers before her thirties.
In 2010, she competed in both the 1,500 m and steeplechase at the Commonwealth Games, which became a turning point. After a few injuries and falling out of love with the steeplechase a little bit, she talked with her coach John Nuttall about her options. They decided to attempt different challenges to focus on longer distances — the 5,000 m and 10,000 m.
In 2011, although they hadn’t planned to compete indoors that season, she was in excellent shape. She won the match in Glasgow, breaking Liz McColgan’s record. Then she set her personal best in the 3,000 m at Birmingham.
Going into the European Athletics Indoor Championships, she was the fastest runner on paper, but she had come fourth twice before in these championships. Her coach and she discussed race strategy carefully. For the first time, she followed her coach’s advice exactly, staying near the front but not leading until the end. She had never trusted her finishing sprint (冲刺) before, but that day she did. Even though Russian runner Olesya Syreva was close behind, she won her first gold medal.
At 37, she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title. Many people had kept asking when she would retire, but this victory proved that older athletes could still succeed. She changed her training as she got older, being more careful with hard training sessions and taking more time to recover. As she says, as long as you take care of your body, you can still run fast. This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn’t limit anyone’s dreams in sports.
24. What motivated British Athletics to suggest the steeplechase to Helen
A. Her running speed.
B. Her jumping ability.
C. The chance to participate in the Olympics.
D. The popularity of the steeplechase.
25. What can be inferred from Helen’s conversation with her coach
A. She wanted to retire. B. She lacked confidence.
C. She needed new challenges. D. She feared competition.
26. What made Helen successful in the final race according to paragraph 4
A. She followed her coach’s race arrangements.
B. She changed her style.
C. She copied her teammates.
D. She trained harder than others.
27. What message does the text mainly convey
A. Training methods vary with age.
B Challenge is unavoidable in life.
C. Age is no limitation to success.
D. Success belongs to those with curiosity.
C
Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid (液体), and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion.
The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body.
In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic columns that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks.
The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made.
Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs (人造器官) made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient.
28. How does the device created by the team in China differ from others
A. It is made from plastic. B. It is designed by a student.
C. It employs water drops. D. It features metal structures.
29. What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Enlarged. B. Combined. C. Distinguished. D. Shown.
30. What does Du’s team expect of the system
A. It will have wide application in medical treatment.
B. It will bring a heavy profit to the team.
C. It will enable students to be fond of blocks.
D. It will decrease the cost of artificial organs.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain.
B. Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids.
C. There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks.
D. Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets.
D
At some level, advice on how to inspire employees is silly. It’s usually either obvious — be good at your job, be passionate about the work and make the people on your teams feel valued — or shockingly unreal. But much more practical insights can be found in a coming book called Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others, by Adam Galinsky, an academic at Columbia Business School.
Lots of firms use a series of boringly abstract (抽象的) words to convey their goal: “change”, “innovate”, “connect” and so on. Mr Galinsky cites an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete (具体的) language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behaviour. Teams who were handed a statement with more visual language — to create toys that “… make wide-eyed kids laugh and proud parents smile” — produced more engaging toys than teams who were given something more general.
Another study is mentioned in Mr Galinsky’s book. Participants were asked to reflect on important events in their lives, such as their choice of college. Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not happened. This group attributed greater meaning to the event in question, whether because they concluded fate had played a part in it or because it forced them to think through its results more clearly. This type of counterfactual (反事实的) thinking can also be used to strengthen employees’ ties to firms: Prompting people to imagine a world in which their company does not exist seems to increase a sense of belonging.
Perhaps the most striking idea in Mr Galinsky’s book is that, instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. In this study some Swiss citizens who had newly registered with a government employment agency were asked to do a 10 - to 15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not do the exercise.
32. Why is a statement with more visual language mentioned
A. To prove Mr Galinsky’s view.
B. To promote a lively air in firms.
C. To state richness of a language.
D. To persuade readers to value expression.
33. What role does the counterfactual thinking play in a firm
A. It makes employees reflect on their strengths.
B. It promotes employees’ sense of belonging.
C. It inspires employees to study hard.
D. It trains employees to be creative.
34. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. An interesting example about designing toys.
B. Individuals’ self-motivation for job-seeking.
C. Practical use of Swiss government measures.
D. An employment plan from Columbia Business School.
35. What is the text probably
A. An introduction. B. A research article.
C. A news report. D. A journal.

67. 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。
When I was a little boy, I didn’t seem to be good at anything so that I felt inferior (较差的). I longed to achieve something to prove to myself that I am a capable person. So, I took part in various competitions, hoping to experience the thrill of victory and boost my self-esteem (自尊).
Unfortunately, I never succeeded in any of these competitions. This constant failure led me to feel discouraged. Feeling upset, I wanted to give up trying altogether. When my father noticed my disheartened spirit, he decided to step in and help me.
One sunny Saturday afternoon, he took me to a carnival held by our local community center. Every year, our town eagerly awaited this carnival, which was organized to raise funds for local charities. The carnival featured a wide range of delicious foods, exciting rides, games, music, and other attractions.
My dad led me to a colorful tent at the carnival. Inside, a game was set up specifically for children. The game involved throwing rings onto bottles to win prizes. An elderly man with a kind face was in charge of the game. It was still early, and no other kids were around yet. My dad pushed me forward and encouraged me to give it a try. I approached the old man nervously and asked, “How do I play this game ” He smiled warmly and explained, “It’s simple and fun. Just throw these rings and try to get them over the bottles. If you manage to get even one ring on a bottle, you’ll win a prize of your choice.” I then asked about the cost of the game. The old man replied, “It’s five dollars for ten rings.” My dad handed me the money quickly, and I passed it to the old man, who then gave me a bundle of ten rings. I took a deep breath and threw out my first ring. It missed the bottle completely, landing on the ground with a soft sound. Ring after ring, I missed each attempt. Sweat began to form on my forehead, and my hands trembled.
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。
With only one ring left, I was very nervous.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I held the prize tightly in my hands, with a huge smile spreading across my face.

【67题答案】
【答案】参考范文：
With only one ring left, I was very nervous. Sensing my anxiety, my dad came over and patted my shoulder. “It’s okay, son,” he said gently. “Take a deep breath, focus on your aim, and don’t rush.” He guided me on how to adjust my stance and aim more carefully. Encouraged, I took a deep breath and threw the final ring. To my astonishment, it landed perfectly around the bottle. The old man clapped and handed me a small, colorful prize.
I held the prize tightly in my hands, with a huge smile spreading across my face. At that moment, I realized that with perseverance and patience, I could overcome my self-doubt. This experience at the carnival became a turning point, teaching me that I was capable after all, and I was no longer the boy who felt inferior. It was not just about winning a small prize; it was a life-changing moment. Since then, every challenge I encounter becomes an opportunity to prove myself. I approach them with courage and confidence, knowing that I have the power to overcome obstacles, just like I did with that final ring.
