Solo travel, or traveling alone, wasn’t considered safe, ideal or fashionable for Indian women 25 years ago. But that didn’t stop Dr. Sudha Mahalingam. When she followed her husband on his work trips abroad, she used the opportunities to make her adventurous trips.
Two decades ago, Mahalingam quit her job in mainstream print journalism and switched careers to take up energy research. Soon after, she started receiving invitations to speak at international conferences in oil producing countries and the world of travel opened up to her. Today, at 70, she has visited 66 countries across six continents, which she shares on her blog Footloose Indian as well as in her book The Travel Gods Must Be Crazy.
Owing to a busy schedule of managing work and family, Mahalingam often had no time to organize her travel, so most of her early trips were sudden and unplanned. She landed in the Czech Republic without a valid (有效的) visa, faced the challenge of finding vegetarian food in China, got accidentally locked in a museum in Iran and was caught without proof of a yellow fever vaccination (疫苗接种) at the airport in Nairobi, Kenya.
Though Mahalingam sometimes travels with friends, most of her journeys are solo. Her most recent international adventure that stands out was her trip to Borneo in Southeast Asia. “There were crawlies (爬虫) everywhere and fallen leaves as high as one meter. You put your foot and won’t know if a snake would stick itself around your leg or whether a poisonous insect would bite you. It was pouring all the time. I have been to the Amazon rainforest as well but it was a cakewalk compared to Borneo,” she says.
Mahalingam has been addicted to different adventure sports too, including diving and hang-gliding. She also made a difficult journey to Everest base camp and, at the age of 66, went skydiving in Uluru, Australia.
4. What did Mahalingam do 25 years ago
A. She followed her husband to India.
B. She gave lectures on print journalism.
C. She began traveling to other countries.
D. She managed to keep family-work balance.
5. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By describing a process. B. By giving examples.
C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
6. Why did Mahalingam mention the Amazon rainforest in paragraph 4
A. To highlight the hardship of her Borneo trip,
B. To prove the wide extent of Mahalingam’s travels.
C. To emphasize the importance of the Amazon rainforest.
D. To tell the differences between Borneo and the Amazon rainforest.
7. Which of the following best describes Mahalingam
A. Creative. B. Courageous. C. Considerate. D. Demanding.
C
The origin of “OK” remained an enigma for much of its existence, and even today, some still question the most accepted explanation. Over the years, theories have appeared. Some traced it to French or Scottish roots. In the 1960s, folk singer Pete Seeger popularized the idea that Choctaw (a Native American people) gave us the word “OK” — a belief that ultimately proved wrong.
Indeed, early attempts to establish the origin of “OK” were often fanciful, at best imaginative, and often misleading. Most scholars now support the conclusions of Allen Walker Read, a Columbia University professor who traced “OK” back to a playful misspelling of “all correct” as “oll korrect”. The term first appeared in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839, but “it probably had been used in everyday conversation before that,” according to Doug Harper, who created the Online Etymology Dictionary. It came from a popular trend at the time when people shortened phrases by using funny misspellings.
The term became popular during President Martin Van Buren’s reelection campaign in 1840 because “Old Kinderhook”, which was his nickname (绰号), lined up with “O. K. ” Van Buren’s supporters formed “O. K. Clubs”, and the president even signed documents with “O. K. ”
“OK” caught on because it was easy to say, flexible for agreement or understanding. Harper notes it was a perfect headline word — short and carrying a lot of meaning. Its use expanded through the space age. During the 1960s, NASA astronauts popularized “A-OK”, and 56 years ago, “OK” was among the first words spoken from Earth to the Moon.
Today, “OK” is likely the most widely recognized word in the world. Although traditionally it’s a word that’s been spoken more than written, it shows up on lists of the most used text message phrases. If you wanted to get rid of the word today, it would be virtually impossible.
8. What does the underlined part “an enigma” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. A mystery. B. A challenge. C. A theory. D. A fact.
9. What is the author’s attitude toward early theories about “OK”
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Appreciative. D. Unclear.
10. Why did “OK” grow in popularity during Martin Van Buren’s reelection campaign
A. He formed “O. K. Clubs” to attract supporters.
B. He invented the term during his campaign.
C. His political phrase featured “OK”.
D. His nickname’s initials were “OK”.
11. Why does the author say “OK” is hard to replace today
A. It is rarely written but often spoken.
B. It is perfectly used as a headline word.
C. It is deeply rooted in global communication.
D. It is regularly promoted by NASA astronauts.
D
Chinese wellness culture is rapidly gaining global popularity, with many practices from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) becoming part of people’s daily self-care routines around the world. This age-old TCM wisdom is now seen as modern wellness tips, tied to living longer and keeping the body balanced, and it’s a big part of the global wellness trend.
Gua sha with smooth jade tools, herbal teas, tai chi and acupuncture (针灸) are no longer unfamiliar to foreigners. Even small daily habits, like drinking hot water instead of iced coffee, boiling apples to improve digestion, wearing slippers indoors and eating warm foods for internal balance, have become popular wellness tips on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. These age-old TCM practices are now reframed as modern lifestyle hacks, closely connected to the ideas of longevity and physical harmony.
Different from most Western medicine that often treats symptoms in isolation, TCM holds a unique health concept. It focuses on restoring the body’s balance through core ideas like qi (vital energy), yin and yang, paying more attention to disease prevention and overall harmony rather than just reacting to illness after it occurs. This slow and integrated health model is especially appealing in modern society. At a time when modern wellness culture is often over-commercialized and filled with quick-fix trends, TCM’s emphasis on treating the root cause of health problems brings a more human approach to health, which makes it stand out among various online wellness hacks.
Social media has played a key role in spreading these centuries-old TCM practices by refining complex traditions into simple, easy-to-follow tips. However, this simplification also risks losing their deep philosophical foundations. There are also medical debates: some herbal TCM remedies lack consistent clinical evidence and may carry health risks if misused. Still, Chinese wellness is far more than a passing trend. It meets people’s strong need for physical and mental balance in an era of widespread burnout, screen tiredness and endless life optimisation, and has firmly become an important part of the global self-care conversation.
12. According to the text, which of the following is a daily TCM habit mentioned
A. Taking cold showers. B. Drinking iced coffee.
C. Doing intense workouts. D. Boiling apples for digestion.
13. What can be known about Western medicine from the text
A. It is rarely used in modern society.
B. It usually treats symptoms separately.
C. It is based on the idea of yin and yang.
D. It focuses more on prevention than treatment.
14. What might the author think about the spread of TCM on social media
A. It makes TCM more scientific.
B. It has replaced traditional TCM teaching.
C. It may oversimplify TCM and cause risks.
D. It helps people fully understand TCM philosophy.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Differences Between TCM and Western Medicine
B. The Global Popularity of Chinese Wellness Culture
C. The Risks of Spreading TCM Practices Online
D. Social Media’s Influence on Health Culture

How do you react when you call someone the wrong name, trip over a curb, or wave to a stranger you take for a friend ____16____ If yes, you’re definitely not alone. But new research tells us that laughing at these minor mistakes is a wiser choice.
New research shows that people often overestimate how harshly others judge their minor social mistakes. For these small, harmless mistakes, laughing at yourself is a far better choice. It can show your social confidence, ease tension and make it clear that the mistake was an accident. ____17____
To do the research, over 3,000 participants read stories of small mistakes, like walking into a glass door at a party. ____18____ They even saw photos of the person either laughing or looking embarrassed.

There is one note to take, though. ____20____ If a mistake causes real harm to yourself or others, laughing is not an appropriate response. Also, the study didn’t explore the long-term effects of laughing or feeling embarrassed about mistakes. Even so, it proves the famous saying: When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
A. Not all mistakes should be met with a laugh.
B. Do you fall into a deep sense of embarrassment

In Grade 9 I joined boxing classes. My friend Lea and I were the only girls in the class.
We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough.
After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue.
Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.”
I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse.

Chinese wellness culture is rapidly gaining global popularity, with many practices from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) becoming part of people’s daily self-care routines around the world. This age-old TCM wisdom is now seen as modern wellness tips, tied to living longer and keeping the body balanced, and it’s a big part of the global wellness trend.
Gua sha with smooth jade tools, herbal teas, tai chi and acupuncture (针灸) are no longer unfamiliar to foreigners. Even small daily habits, like drinking hot water instead of iced coffee, boiling apples to improve digestion, wearing slippers indoors and eating warm foods for internal balance, have become popular wellness tips on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. These age-old TCM practices are now reframed as modern lifestyle hacks, closely connected to the ideas of longevity and physical harmony.
Different from most Western medicine that often treats symptoms in isolation, TCM holds a unique health concept. It focuses on restoring the body’s balance through core ideas like qi (vital energy), yin and yang, paying more attention to disease prevention and overall harmony rather than just reacting to illness after it occurs. This slow and integrated health model is especially appealing in modern society. At a time when modern wellness culture is often over-commercialized and filled with quick-fix trends, TCM’s emphasis on treating the root cause of health problems brings a more human approach to health, which makes it stand out among various online wellness hacks.
Social media has played a key role in spreading these centuries-old TCM practices by refining complex traditions into simple, easy-to-follow tips. However, this simplification also risks losing their deep philosophical foundations. There are also medical debates: some herbal TCM remedies lack consistent clinical evidence and may carry health risks if misused. Still, Chinese wellness is far more than a passing trend. It meets people’s strong need for physical and mental balance in an era of widespread burnout, screen tiredness and endless life optimisation, and has firmly become an important part of the global self-care conversation.
12. According to the text, which of the following is a daily TCM habit mentioned
A. Taking cold showers. B. Drinking iced coffee.
C. Doing intense workouts. D. Boiling apples for digestion.
13. What can be known about Western medicine from the text
A. It is rarely used in modern society.
B. It usually treats symptoms separately.
C. It is based on the idea of yin and yang.
D. It focuses more on prevention than treatment.
14. What might the author think about the spread of TCM on social media
A. It makes TCM more scientific.
B. It has replaced traditional TCM teaching.
C. It may oversimplify TCM and cause risks.
D. It helps people fully understand TCM philosophy.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Differences Between TCM and Western Medicine

47. 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。
In Grade 9 I joined boxing classes. My friend Lea and I were the only girls in the class.
We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough.
After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue.
Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.”
I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse.
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。
Then came one particular practice.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The experience taught me a great lesson.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then came one particular practice. Somehow I was mad and angry, which made my punches suddenly stronger and faster. What amazed me was that gradually I just didn’t have that anger in me. After the practice, all my classmates burst into cheers for my great performance and Mr. Vernon also said that I was making great progress. With his praise I finally found the strength I needed. In the following practices, he was impressed with my good boxing skills, because they were getting powerful.
The experience taught me a great lesson. Boxing requires a lot of work and effort, but it has also taught me not to feel discouraged about what others say. Thanks to boxing, I have gradually realized that being short doesn’t define me. If we focus on our strong points and improve our weak ones, there is no reason for us to feel disappointed. Day by day I am becoming increasingly confident, definitely sure nothing will limit me to doing what tall or strong people can do.
