Beginner-friendly ultra marathons
Country to Capital
英语试卷 第 2 页
Distance: 69.2km
Date: 6 January 2025
Cost: 73
Country to Capital takes you from Wendover in Buckinghamshire to Little Venice in London. The route is a
mix of country paths and a canal path with the second half being very easy to navigate—you just need to follow the
canal.
Cairngorms Ultra Trail
Distance: 60km
Date: 1 June 2025
Cost: 62
As you might expect from a race through the Cairngorms, Scotland, this race involves a climb of 1,006m.
However, there are no major climbs. Most of the route follows well-defined paths and tracks, and the route is
waymarked so no navigation experience is necessary. There will also be safety marshals (执行人员) at key points
on the course to help you with following the correct route.
Race to the King
Distance: 100km / 50km
Date: 15 June 2025
Cost: 165 / 75
Set in the stunning (令人惊叹的) South Downs, this is a popular runners taking on their first ultra (超级马拉
松) as well as those with a little more experience. Race to the King gives you the option to take on the 100km route
over one or two days with camping for those choosing the two-day option. There’s also the option to do 50km—a
great way for newer ultra runners to build themselves up. The time limits allow for a minimum speed of roughly
4km/h.
Stour Valley Path
Distance: 100km / 50km
Date: 3 August 2025
Cost: 100 / 65
This race starts in Newmarket and finishes in Essex following the Stour Valley Path. The route of the SVP100
covers almost the entire length of this well-marked path and is one of the longest point-to-point races in East
Anglia. Runners have 15.5hrs to complete the 100km route or 9.5hrs to finish the 50km.
21. Which race involves running alongside a canal
A. Country to Capital. B. Cairngorms Ultra Trail.
C. Race to the King. D. Stour Valley Path.
22. What do the last two marathons have in common
A. They provide two length options. B. They are for experienced runners.

The Secret Garden was one of my first books in primary school. On the very first page of my copy, there is a
message from my aunt, who wished me a happy birthday. I believe it to be a standout children’s book, not only for
the tenderness (细腻) that emerges from every page but for the teachings that it leaves us.
Mary Lennox, our protagonist (主角), is a 10-year-old girl who lives in India. After losing her parents, Mary is
sent to live with her uncle in England. There, she meets her cousin Colin and the farm boy Dickon. She also
discovers a secret garden. Mary loves the feeling that no one knows where she is when the walls shut her in.
The descriptions of the garden were something I liked very much the first time I read the story because they
made it sound truly magical. I also fondly remember the first time Dickon appeared, bringing Mary the seeds, and
how they started working together to make the garden beautiful again. The regeneration of the garden mirrors the
one taking place inside the young cousins.
Mary and Colin are raised away from their parents, and they have received all the things they could want,
except for the most important ones: love and attention.
Of course, the situation of the characters in the book might be a little peculiar (不寻常的), but there are plenty
of different ways in which a kid can be ignored.
In today’s modern life, where both parents usually work and come home tired, it is common to see children
not getting the attention they need, or spending more time on technological devices, to keep them entertained and
quiet for longer periods.
This fact, far from making children more independent, makes it very important to spend more time with them,
talk to them, and help them make sense of all the information they are constantly receiving. The book invites us to
reflect on this topic. It also gives us some hope: It is never too late to make things right.
24. How did The Secret Garden first come to the author
A. As a blessing gift. B. As a school award.
C. As a random purchase. D. As a pretty souvenir.
25. What is the state of the garden when Mary discovers it
A. It is calm and colorful. B. It is small and ignored.
C. It is enclosed and deserted. D. It is beautiful and mysterious.
26. How are Mary and Colin similar to children nowadays
A. They can get everything they want. B. They are given too much freedom.
C. They have limited social interactions. D. They lack emotional support from their parents.
27. What message does the author intend to convey by introducing The Secret Garden
A. Children should learn to be independent.
B. Children should be taught to love nature.
C. Parents should encourage their children to read.
D. Parents should be involved in their children’s growth.

C
We’ve lost direction and our brains are shrinking (缩小)—at least, our hippocampi are. These brain parts drive
our spatial (空间的) awareness and orientation (方向). London taxi drivers, known for taking The Knowledge, a
test that involves memorizing the central streets of the capital, have full-sized hippocampi. But in 2011, the drivers’
hippocampi were discovered to have shrunk significantly after retirement.
The development of the hippocampus can also be stunted (妨碍发展) in childhood. Children living in urban
environments rarely see the sun rise or set and cannot tell the difference between east and west. When I went into
my local school to teach kids about direction, I found they struggled to distinguish north from south and east from
west—though they could do so if allowed to use their phones.
Since 2005, when Google Maps was launched claiming it would help users get from A to B and then, three
years later, when the iPhone 3G was released, featuring “live” location, the online tech giants stated that today’s
digital native kids would be the first generation who would not know what it meant to get lost.
But is that a good thing Their perspectives and orientation, like their hippocampi, are shrinking with the help
of online providers. In four generations, children have gone from wandering up to six miles from home to an
average of just 300 yards. The lack of outdoor activity has greatly affected children’s mental and physical health. It
also encourages a fear of nature, leading to avoidance of the natural world and potentially resulting in indifference
towards environmental conservation.
We are becoming, quite literally, disoriented in a digital world where we have given up on tools like paper
maps and magnetic compasses.
However, it doesn’t have to be this way. After all, maps and compasses are cognitive tools, like the Internet,
and we’ve been using them for thousands of years. But for our sense of well-being, and that of the world that
sustains us, we can take steps not just to appreciate nature positively, but also to understand who we are by
understanding where we are.
28. Why did London taxi drivers’ hippocampi shrink significantly after retirement
A. The drivers grew much older. B. The need to memorize was reduced.
C. The outdoor activities decreased. D. The drivers were addicted to phones.
29. What did the author find about the kids in the local school
A. They had well-developed hippocampi. B. They were skilled at using paper maps.
C. They were struggling with their studies. D. They had difficulty navigating without phones.
30. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4
A. To encourage children to spend more time on outdoor activities.
B. To show how children’s lives across four generations have changed.
C. To illustrate online providers have been affecting children negatively.
D. To explain how today’s digital native kids benefit from online providers.
31. What does the author recommend in the last paragraph
A. Focusing on the development of human civilization.
B. Appreciating nature and understand our place in it.
英语试卷 第 5 页
C. Relying more on technology to connect with nature.
D. Combining digital and traditional tools for navigation.

Deep underneath the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean lies a landscape of coral reefs colored by photosynthetic
algae (光合藻类). But in the early 1980s, a heat wave caused by the El Ni o climate phenomenon turned more than
90 percent of these corals lifeless white. The algae—which had lived inside their coral hosts for millions of years—
could no longer live within them.
Strong El Ni o events warmed up the same Pacific waters in the late 1990s and again in 2015-2016, but
scientists noticed that these heat waves didn’t affect the reefs as badly as the first. Diving after the latest event,
marine biologist Ana Palacio saw some of the corals seemed to be resisting or recovering from getting white.
Many adult corals are restricted to the reefs they build, making them particularly easily affected by the
changing climate. But they have developed their own trick of survival. Some switch out the photosynthetic algae
for more heat-resistant species. Others can use rows of tiny hairs on their bodies to “fan” away harmful oxygen
released by stressed-out algae.
Corals typically provide a small amount of nitrogen (氮) to their resident algae, and in return they get carbon,
which they use as an energy source. Under heat stress, corals produce too much nitrogen. This causes the algae to
divide a lot more—storing up the carbon and keeping it from their hosts. But baby corals exposed to short periods
of heat stress learn to keep the nitrogen to themselves and don’t overshare with the algae, maintaining a stable
symbiosis (共生).
Biologist Cesar O. Pacherres says, “They have the tools to withstand (承受) certain things, but past that limit,
there’s not enough they can do.” But whatever heat-beating tools corals have can help scientists develop protection
strategies. Baby corals that can withstand stress are especially important for conservation efforts because they can
travel between reefs and potentially share heat-tolerant genes in new places. “To some degree, they are already
adapted to rising temperatures, so they’re in some ways the source of the future,” says Madhavi Colton, a
conservation scientist.
32. What can be inferred about coral reefs after several El Ni o events
A. They grow faster. B. They can adapt to higher temperatures.
C. They are more colorful. D. They become more temperature-sensitive.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How adult corals attach themselves to reefs.
B. How adult corals handle climate change pressures.
C. The impact of photosynthetic algae on adult corals.
D. The formation of tiny hairs on the bodies of adult corals.
34. What happens during the symbiosis of corals and algae under heat stress
A. Algae get less nitrogen. B. The corals divide more.
C. Corals obtain more energy. D. The carbon distribution is affected.
英语试卷 第 6 页
35. How can stress-resistant baby corals aid in the preservation of coral reefs
A. By serving as indicators of reef health. B. By traveling to cooler places and growing.
C. By sharing heat-tolerant genes in new areas. D. By providing nitrogen for their resident algae.

Four Easy Ways to Stop Overthinking Every Little Thing
While everyone overthinks situations once in a while, some people are troubled by a constant flood of
thoughts all the time. 36 . And, it greatly affects your mood. Here are four ways to stop overthinking
everything:
37
Overthinking can become such a habit that you don’t even recognize when you’re doing it. Start paying
attention to the way you think, so you can become aware of the problem. When you’re replaying events in your
mind over and over, or worrying about things you can’t control, acknowledge that this isn’t productive. Thinking is
only helpful when it leads to positive action.
Challenge your thoughts
38 . So, before you conclude that calling in sick is going to get you fired, or that forgetting one
deadline will cause you to become homeless, acknowledge that your thoughts may be exaggeratedly negative. Take
a step back and look at the evidence. What evidence do you have that your thought is true What evidence do you
have that your thought isn’t true
Learn mindfulness skills
It’s impossible to dwell on yesterday or worry about tomorrow when you’re living in the present. Mindfulness
will help you become more aware of the here and now. Just like any other skill, mindfulness takes practice, but over
time, it can decrease overthinking. 39 .
Change the channel
Telling yourself to stop thinking about something will backfire. Change the channel in your brain by changing
your activity. 40 . Doing something different will put an end to the flood of negative thoughts.
A. Keep the focus on problem-solving
B. Notice when you’re stuck in your head
C. When your time is up, move on to something else
D. It’s easy to get carried away with negative thoughts
E. Thinking too much prevents you from getting anything done
F. There are classes, books, apps, and videos available to help you learn
G. Exercise, engage in conversation on a new subject, or work on a project that distracts you

Unluckily, nothing happened. I began to 49 that I must have done something wrong. But one morning
I saw a tiny green shoot breaking through the soil, filling me with 50 .

Marissa’s love of candy finally caught up with her. That morning she woke up with a toothache and instead of
bringing her to school, her mother took her to the dentist.
Marissa and her mother walked hand-in-hand toward the dentist’s office. Men and women wearing long coats
英语试卷 第 9 页
and long faces, their collars (衣领) up and their heads down, rushed in every direction. Marissa leaned closer to her
mother. When they stopped at the corner for the traffic light to change, Marissa noticed something unusual.
A man with a large nose and dark eyes was sitting on a grate in the sidewalk. In front of him was an open
shoebox with money inside. Marissa had never seen anyone like him. She wanted to take a closer look but her
mother held her hand tightly. As they crossed the street to the dentist’s building, Marissa looked back and watched
the man over her shoulder. He sat quietly, watching the people pass him by.
Up in the dentist’s office they checked in with the receptionist (接待员) who told them to sit in the waiting
room until the dentist was ready to see them. Marissa’s mother sat on the couch crossing her legs and flipped (翻)
through a magazine. Marissa asked her mother, “Is there really a tooth fairy (仙子) ” “Of course, my darling.
Remember to put your tooth under the pillow. The tooth fairy will come and collect it tonight. And you will find
money there tomorrow,” Marissa’s mother explained, smiling. Instead of reading a book or playing with a toy,
Marissa looked out the window to the busy street below. The man was still sitting there. Most people walked by the
man. Some people, just a few, dropped coins into his shoebox. One man in a hurry actually stepped over the man.
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally after a long wait, Marissa was called into the examination room.
Holding the tooth, Marissa found the man still sitting on the sidewalk.

第一节（满分 15 分） Version 1 Dear Eric,
It’s great to hear from you! As a football fan, I mainly watch matches through live sports streaming apps like
CCTV-5’s mobile app.
I recommend this for three reasons. First, it’s convenient and accessible—you can watch various live games
anytime on your phone. Second, these apps often provide multi-angle replays and expert commentary, helping you
understand tactics better. Third, they offer interactive features like fan chats, making watching more fun.
You can download one and try it during the next big match—let’s watch together and discuss!
Best wishes,
Li Hua Version 2 Dear Eric,
It’s great to hear from you! You asked how I usually watch football. Actually, my top choice is watching
matches live at the stadium.
I recommend this because it’s a completely different and amazing experience. First, the atmosphere is
electric—you can feel the crowd’s energy, hear the cheers, and see every move up close. It makes you feel part of
the game. Second, it’s a great social activity. You can go with friends, enjoy the excitement together, and even meet
other like-minded fans.
If you’d like, we could plan to watch a local match together sometime. I’m sure you’ll love it!
Best wishes,

Finally after a long wait, Marissa was called into the examination room. She sat in the big chair and opened
her mouth as wide as she could. The dentist saw a small, brown hole in Marissa’s tooth. “The tooth will have to
come out,” he said. A few minutes later, the dentist pulled out Marissa’s tooth. “Here’s your tooth, Marissa,” said
the dentist, slipping the tiny tooth into a small, orange envelope. “Make sure to put it under your pillow,” said her
mother. “Make sure you brush your teeth twice a day, and especially after candy,” said the dentist.
Holding the tooth, Marissa found the man still sitting on the sidewalk. Marissa tried to get closer but her
mother held her hand tightly, like before. Marissa pulled away and went up to the shoebox. There wasn’t a lot of
money inside. Marissa held open the orange envelope and let the tooth drop into the shoebox. “Put it under your
pillow tonight,” she told the man, “and there will be money there tomorrow.” At first the man looked surprised.
Then he smiled warmly and waved goodbye to Marissa as she and her mother walked away. Now, all he needed
was a pillow.

M: Well, Ms. Green, I feel like I’m dying! I don’t know if I’m just tired or what, but I’m not myself! I’ve had
random chest pain.
W: How long have you felt like this Do you have a running nose
M: No, I can breathe through my nose fine. I think it’s something else. I’ve felt sick for the past
three days.
W: Well, it could be heartburn. Do fatty foods or drinks like coffee set it off
M: No, I don’t know. But the chest pain has me worried! Do you think it could be cancer
W: We need to do some scans and blood work to narrow this down. I’ll book you an appointment for tomorrow.
And don’t eat anything before the test.
M: But I’m going out for a buffet tonight! I already bought the tickets last week. I’ve been looking forward to it.
W: Not anymore. Doctor’s orders!

W: Hi Jack. I heard you’re interested in joining our Fitness Club
M: Yeah! I’ve brought my medical check-up records and sports certificates.
W: Awesome! Welcome to the club! All new members get free training sessions.
M: Do you provide clothes and shoes
W: We only provide shoes. Bring your own black shorts and a red top. If you don’t have them, you can buy some at
the campus store. Club members get 30% off. Plus, you can enjoy special meal rates at the school canteen.
M: Cool. How about practice times
W: Mainly on weekends. Most sessions are at the East Gym—you can take bus No.5. If practice ends after 8 p.m.,
we cover your taxi fare.
M: Good to know. What skills do you value most
W: Teamwork is key! And a first-aid certificate is a plus.
M: No problem.
W: We need a Fitness Leader—6 7 a.m. on weekdays. That role earns volunteer hours. Or a Junior Nutrition
Assistant helping with meal plans, from 3 to 5 p.m. on Fridays.
M: The afternoon role suits me better—I have morning classes.

This is the afternoon traffic update. A major accident involving several cars has occurred on the Harbour
Bridge into the city, and it is now blocked in both directions. All traffic heading into the city is being directed to
use another road, causing delays of over an hour. Drivers are strongly advised to avoid this area and use a different
bridge instead. Separately, on the M4 highway, a large truck has broken down in the main lane near a popular exit,
resulting in very slow traffic for those traveling away from the city. Emergency services are on scene, but delays
are expected to last through the evening rush hour. Lastly, due to repairs earlier today, train services on the T1
Western Line have restarted but are running up to twenty minutes late. Passengers should check the transport app
for the latest information before they travel.
