The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit.
● Bah Humbug 10K, 1 December
Do yourself a favour and bring towels and plastic bags with you, because every bit of gear you wear during this event is likely to be caked with mud by the end. Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners.

● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December
Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies.

● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December
This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that 7. 50 of the 10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find.

● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December
Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.

21. Which website offers information for night run participants
A. sueryder. org B.
C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk

Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench ” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
24. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________.
A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours
C. get better seating for chats D. adapt to warmer weather
25. How did the bench get its various names
A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions.
C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas.
26. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
27. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end
A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem.
C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order.
C
What if you could meet most of your daily needs-shopping, work, education, healthcare-within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from your home This is the exciting vision of the “15-minute city”, an urban planning concept that gained global attention years ago. However, putting it into practice has sparked unexpected and fierce opposition.
The concept was popularized by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris and based on the research of French scholar Carlos Moreno. It suggests a move from city planning centered mainly on cars to one focused on “chronic-urbanism”. The goal is to return urban space to people, with more parks and streets for walking. Advocates argue that this model addresses multiple crises all at the same time: climate change, social isolation, and public health.
Despite its apparent benefits, opponents have misrepresented the idea online, framing it as a secret government plan to control people’s free movement. While these claims are baseless, they have gained support, influencing public opinion and making it harder for cities like Oxford and Melbourne to carry out the concept.
The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For decades, the car has symbolized personal freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims to enhance overall quality of life, can make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.
The situation mirrors past urban conflicts. For instance, many people opposed creating walking-only streets in city centers decades ago, but now, such areas are mostly loved and valued. The experts of a recent study on sustainable transition conclude that the battle for the 15-minute city is not just about planning; it’s about messaging. Success depends not only on smart design but also on effectively conveying its vision of a more sustainable and human urban future.
28. What can we learn about “chronic-urbanism” in paragraph 2
A. It gives more space to people. B. It aims to expand road networks.
C. It focuses on car development. D. It was created by Carlos Moreno.
29. What do the opponents think of the 15-minute city
A. Traffic-slowing. B. Money-wasting. C. Freedom-limiting. D. Tech-demanding.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The challenge of a less car-centered life. B. The significance of private cars.
C. The public’s reactions to a new policy. D. The definition of car dependency.
31. What does the experts’ conclusion imply in the last paragraph
A. Public opinions are too hard to change. B. Sustainable transition is the top priority.
C. Communication matters as much as design. D. Planning should send an innovative message.
D
David Uttal, a scientist at Northwestern University, has always been poor at finding his way. At 13, he got lost on a Boy Scout hike for two and a half days. The world is full of people like Uttal- and their opposites, the folks who always seem to know exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go.
These differences are obvious, but explaining them has proved challenging. Now, research using virtual reality suggests that to some extent, navigational (导航的) skills are shaped by upbringing.
A 2020 study highlighted this. The researchers compared the performance of more than 2,600 twins as they navigated through a virtual environment to test whether navigational ability runs in families. It does, they found — but only modestly. Instead, the biggest contributor to people’s performance was what geneticists call “nonshared environmental factors” — the unique experiences each person accumulates as their life unfolds. Good navigators, it appears, are mostly made, not born.
Another large-scale experiment provided further insight. Researchers developed a smartphone game, “Sea Hero Quest”, in which players navigate through a virtual environment to locate checkpoints. Based on data from nearly four million players worldwide, they discovered that cultural factors were linked to wayfinding skills. People from Nordic countries, where the navigation sport of orienteering is popular, performed slightly better.
Results like these suggest that life experience may be one of the biggest determinants of navigational ability. Indeed, experience may even underlie one of the most consistent findings in navigation: that men tend to perform better than women. Turns out this gender gap is more a question of culture and experience than of born ability. Nordic countries, for example, where gender equality is greatest, show almost no gender difference in navigation. In contrast, men far outperform women in places where women face cultural restrictions on exploring their environment.
To Uttal, these findings carry an optimistic implication. “The good news is that navigation is trainable,” he notes, “It’s never too late to become a better navigator. You just need to give yourself opportunities to explore and pay attention to your surroundings.”
32. What did the 2020 study on twins reveal about navigational ability
A. It is largely determined by genes. B. It is learned through experience.
C. It varies little among individuals. D. It remains constant in a person’s life.
33. How was the “Sea Hero Quest” experiment conducted
A. By testing brain activity during play. B. By observing how players navigate.
C. By comparing the Nordics with others. D. By analyzing smartphone game data.
34. Why do men often outperform women in navigation
A. Men benefit from practicing sports. B. Women lack interest in doing so.
C. Men possess stronger space memory. D. Women have fewer chances to explore.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Can “Sea Hero Quest” Teach Us B. Why Do Some People Always Get Lost
C. How Does VR Improve Navigational Skills D. Who Are Better Navigators: Men or Women

Mike Harris was grabbing envelopes from his mailbox when his fingers brushed against something unexpectedly soft. Inside sat a cute rabbit toy with a sticky note, “Bunny needs a place to play. Your mailbox looks perfect.”
Mike called his wife Clara, “Our mailbox has a new guest.” Clara came out, smiling at the little rabbit before noticing their water bill beneath it. “But this is not a toy house. We might miss important bills.” The couple had built the mailbox three years ago. Mike, a retired toy maker, designed it like a small white cottage (小屋) with a red roof, measuring and cutting each piece of wood with the same precision he once used for children’s toys. Clara painted dancing flowers on the sunny yellow door hoping to make passing children smile.
“What if the ‘owner’ decides to move in more things ” Clara wondered. Mike gently straightened the rabbit’s ear. “Someone treasured this,” he murmured, “Let’s find out who it belongs to first.”
The next day, Mike showed a photo of the rabbit to his neighbors. No one recognized it until Mrs. Bennet said, “I saw a little girl with pigtails (辫子) by your mailbox yesterday. She looked around nervously before placing something inside. I think she’s from the new apartments on Elm Street. Poor thing — there’s no playground there, not even any play equipment.”
Mike didn’t ask further. Instead of removing the rabbit, he taped a colorful note to the mailbox, “Bunny is welcome here.” Soon, more toys joined the rabbit — always in the afternoon hours when school ended.
Weeks passed. The collection of playthings grew, leaving little room for mail. One evening, Clara found a new note in pink crayon, “Dear friends, Bunny really wants a toy swing (秋千) . I tried to make one but failed. Can you help — Emma.” Clara’s eyes grew soft, a forgotten sense of childhood wonder bubbling up inside her. “This isn’t just a mailbox anymore; it’s a secret play world.” she said. “I almost feel like we’re part of it.” Mike nodded, “Tomorrow, let’s join in.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The next afternoon, Mike and Clara hid nearby with a small surprise.
