“We didn’t intend to be farmers，” Bob Paton says.In their 50s，he and his wife，Ann，envisioned “one more move”．They lived in Newcastle upon Tyne and had a checklist for their dream house: “Northumberland，stone-built，a bit of character and a reasonable garden，” Bob says.
The place they found ticked every box but one.Instead of a reasonable garden，it had six acres.As they walked the grounds，Bob turned to Ann and decided they could turn this into a small farm.Eleven days before his 60th birthday，he retired as a managing director with the IT company Accenture.Ann,63，had already sold her grocery.Together they began to farm.
The next two years were a struggle.The four fields were badly fenced and waterlogged.The soil was poor.Growing vegetables was not a common thing to do in this cold，wet and windy area of Northumberland.They dug up thousands of stones，which was backbreaking，but they were never going to give up.As the son of a coal miner，Bob grew up in Ashington,15 miles north of Newcastle and helped his father on his allotment(小块菜园)．“Sunday lunches in mining communities were big things.My dad used to dig up potatoes.They melted in your mouth—the freshness! The memory stayed with me.But I think it was the sense of trying to achieve something，” Bob recalled.
Now one field is home to a two-acre orchard.Two others house polytunnels，herbs and 50 varieties of vegetables.The fourth belongs to their Tamworth pigs.As Hexhamshire Organics，they sell 100 organic vegetable boxes a week，and supply Northumberland’s only Michelin-starred restaurant.“I used to say I retired，but now I say I had a career change，” Bob says.They have never worked so hard.“It’s usually the light that stops us，” Ann mentions.She brings a career in catering and retail to bear on the business，while Bob is the planner.Plan tomorrow today.Plan next week this week.Plan next month this month.His spreadsheet logs “every single vegetable”，from sowing to harvest，and calculates output to the square foot.
24．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Only one box was not ticked yet.
B．All about the place is not satisfying.
C．Bob fell in love with the place at first sight.
D．It’s impossible to turn the place into a reasonable garden.
25．What probably made Bob work hard on the farm despite struggles
A．The joy of harvest. B．The freshness of potatoes.
C．The support of his wife. D．The retirement from work.
26．Which of the following can best describe Bob Paton

C．Determined and diligent. D．Hardworking and generous.
27．In which section of a magazine can you find the text

Intensity exercises often get praised for their role in preventing illnesses like high blood pressure，heart disease，and Type 2 diabetes—not to mention their mental health benefits.But there’s a common mistake：the more intense the exercise，the better the benefits.A recent research shows that low-to-moderate(低到中等的) intensity exercise，such as Zone 2 training，may be just as—or even more—effective for improving health and endurance(持久力)．
Exercise intensity is often broken down into five separate heart rate zones，each representing a different percentage of your maximum heart rate.Zone 2，which falls between 60 to 70 percent of a person’s maximum heart rate，is “your all-day pace”．Theoretically，it’s at such a low intensity that you can keep going and going.
This kind of exercise offers a unique advantage：it’s just below the lactate threshold(乳酸阈值)—the point where lactate(an essential energy source) builds up in the blood faster than it can be removed.As exercise intensity increases beyond Zone 2，the body’s energy demands shift to favor a lactate-producing system over a lactate-consuming one.At these higher intensities，carbohydrate(碳水化合物) use increases as a rapid fuel source while fat burning slows down.
Zone 2 exercises can provide a competitive advantage for endurance athletes，as fat is more readily available as an energy source than sugars.“If you are able to use fat as an energy source when you are exercising，you are going to reduce your reliance on sugar stores，” says Holmer，an exercise scientist.It also improves endurance by increasing the body’s ability to use a more efficient way for longer periods of exercise.
For people just starting a fitness routine，Zone 2 training has some additional benefits，the major one being that it is sustainable.Zone 2 training can be done at a moderate pace，leaving a person feeling better the next day and ready to go again.In contrast，over-reliance on high-intensity training can lead to quicker burnout and longer recovery times.“Exercise doesn’t have to hurt，” Holmer says.
28．How can we describe “your all-day pace” in paragraph 2
A．Unrealistic. B．Difficult.
C．Unchanged. D．Sustainable.
29．Which of the following happens when Zone 2 training is done
A．The burning of fat slows down.
B．Lactate is removed faster than it is built up.
C．The use of carbohydrate is enhanced.
D．The lactate-producing system is favored.
30．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How Zone 2 training benefits endurance.
B．Whether Zone 2 training is good to athletes.
C．What is used as energy sources for Zone 2 exercises.
D．Why a more efficient way is used for Zone 2 exercises.
31．What does Holmer suggest starters do by saying “Exercise doesn’t have to hurt”？
A．Stop doing too much Zone 2 training.
B．Do training at a moderate pace.
C．Stop doing high-intensity training.
D．Do less exercise to avoid hurting themselves.
D
An extremely enthusiastic truth seeker who runs the YouTube channel Bright Insight claims to have found the mysterious city of Atlantis and insists that its true location has been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years.
In a video，YouTube blogger Jimmy Bright argues that the Richat Structure，a geologic dome(同心圆结构) in northwest Sahara also referred to as the Eye of the Sahara，is the most likely location of Atlantis.
He mentioned measurements from the famous Dialogues of Plato，which gave birth to the mystery.The Greek philosopher claimed that Atlantis was a long-gone kingdom，which stretched into Europe as far as Italy and into Africa as far as Egypt thousands of years ago.The giant island was said to be wiped off the face of the planet by a natural disaster“in a single day and night of misfortune”．
At first sight，this has nothing to do with the land-based Richat Structure，but Jimmy claims that the so-called Younger Dryas theory could be a possible explanation.According to it，a massive change in global temperatures caused unexpected climate change and sea level to rise.
In what can be viewed as another proof to the Sahara theory，the diameter(直径) of the Richat Structure’s outer circle is 23.5 km according to Google Map’s measurements，which matches those mentioned by Plato—127 stadia，which is roughly 23.5 km in today’s terms.
Another thing that helps solve the mystery is a theory that the Eye of the Sahara closely matches the description from Plato’s dialogues.The ancient philosopher wrote that the main city of Atlantis consisted of circles of water and land，which，Jimmy said，looks very similar to the circular form of the Richat Structure.
Although the majority of researchers believe that Plato’s story was nothing but a moral story used to describe a failed idea of seeking power and searching for fortune，it has raised quite a few theories.Since the Middle Ages，explorers have been pointing fingers at different places around the world，including the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea，with the most amazing theories linking the location of Atlantis to the Antarctic and the North Sea.
32．What does Jimmy Bright claim to have discovered
A．The most likely location of Atlantis.
B．The formation of the Richat Structure.
C．The measurements in the Dialogues of Plato.
D．The reasons behind the Younger Dryas theory.
33．How did Jimmy Bright do research into the location of Atlantis and arrive at a conclusion
A．By studying the history of ancient Egypt.
B．By analyzing the research into Plato’s life story.
C．By explaining the Younger Dryas theory in a scientific way.
D．By comparing the Richat Structure with the famous Dialogues of Plato.
34．What’s the purpose of mentioning the Younger Dryas theory in paragraph 4
A．To stress the importance of the Richat Structure.
B．To present the influence it had on Atlantis.
C．To prove that Jimmy Bright might be correct.
D．To show Jimmy Bright’s opinion is unique.
35．What can be learned from the article
A．The Eye of the Sahara is a mystery mentioned in the Dialogues of Plato.
B．The Richat Structure is where the mysterious city of Atlantis used to lie.
C．The Younger Dryas may have caused the disappearance of Atlantis overnight.
D．Plato’s story is meant to inspire explorers to locate the exact position of Atlantis.

Letting Go of What Holds You Back
The truth is，we all have only a limited amount of time and energy each day. 36 Does that sound familiar We’ve all been there—feeling overwhelmed，as if carrying a heavy load on our backs.Whether it’s physical stuff in your living space or metaphorical(比喻的) trash in life，it’s time for a spring cleaning.
37 To do one thing well，you must have the concentration and go all out.Once Warren Buffet famously said，“Really successful people say no to almost everything.” He accumulated wealth by focusing laser-like on one thing—investing，and excelled in it by declining every other shiny distraction that crossed his path.
Reflecting on our life，we’ve unconsciously collected mental and emotional “junk”．Maybe it’s excessive TV watching，continuous gaming，tiring friendships，aimless social media consumption.Honestly，I’ll bet we could all name at least one TV show we’ve been absorbed in out of boredom instead of doing something productive.So the first step is taking stock of exactly what’s weighing you down each day.Then it’s time to start de-junking，but go slow. 38 Try tackling one thing per week so that it’s manageable.
Another sneaky trick is to replace bad habits with good alternatives，like switching from endless browsing on social media to learning a new skill instead. 39
Once the unnecessary weight is lifted off，you will have so much extra mental space and energy. 40 So say bye-bye to all the things holding you back and watch your success skyrocket as a result.Your future self will thank you.
A．Detail the time you spend on activities each week.
B．As a saying goes，jack(千斤顶) of all trades，master of none.
C．Throwing everything out at once will just leave you stressed out.
D．Or put away your phone while working，so you’re not distracted.
E．If we shoulder more than we can，we’ll end up exhausted and going nowhere.
F．When it comes to letting go of trouble causers，you have many alternatives.
G．Suddenly barriers seem not so tough when you’re not battling ten things at once.

I eventually managed to persuade my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school matches.My old shirt had worn out and made me depressed every time I put it on.But now I had a brand new shirt! I was so excited.I decided to wear it today for the first time during a kick about in our street.I wish I hadn’t! As soon as we had been playing for ten minutes，the shirt sleeve ripped when I made a turn.
I didn’t pay much attention to it at first.“I’ll sew it back together after the match，” I thought.But then I noticed that actually the whole sleeve was torn.Only a professional can mend it now.I couldn’t tell my mum and dad that my new football shirt was ruined.They would feel sad and they might not allow me to play football any longer.As I walked home，feeling totally at a loss what to do，I was astonished to suddenly come across a shop sign “All kinds of repairs and services！”
I went inside immediately.A man with white bushy hair said “Welcome！” I looked around the shop.I saw an iron，broken toys and a broken chair.“I guess this is the wrong place.What I really need is a tailor’s，” I thought to myself.But as I started to leave，I noticed a photo of a football team next to the sewing machine.I couldn’t make out which team it was.“Maybe the owner also liked playing football.” Thinking of this，I decided to have a try: “Excuse me，this tear needs repairing.I need it to take part in the school match.”

The next two years were a struggle.The four fields were badly fenced and waterlogged.The soil was poor.Growing vegetables was not a common thing to do in this cold，wet and windy area of Northumberland.They dug up thousands of stones，which was backbreaking，but they were never going to give up.As the son of a coal miner，Bob grew up in Ashington,15 miles north of Newcastle and helped his father on his allotment(小块菜园)．“Sunday lunches in mining communities were big things.My dad used to dig up potatoes.They melted in your mouth—the freshness! The memory stayed with me.But I think it was the sense of trying to achieve something，” Bob recalled.
Now one field is home to a two-acre orchard.Two others house polytunnels，herbs and 50 varieties of vegetables.The fourth belongs to their Tamworth pigs.As Hexhamshire Organics，they sell 100 organic vegetable boxes a week，and supply Northumberland’s only Michelin-starred restaurant.“I used to say I retired，but now I say I had a career change，” Bob says.They have never worked so hard.“It’s usually the light that stops us，” Ann mentions.She brings a career in catering and retail to bear on the business，while Bob is the planner.Plan tomorrow today.Plan next week this week.Plan next month this month.His spreadsheet logs “every single vegetable”，from sowing to harvest，and calculates output to the square foot.

26．Which of the following can best describe Bob Paton
A．Helpful and careful. B．Ambitious and humorous.
C．Determined and diligent. D．Hardworking and generous.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段的“They dug up thousands of stones，which was backbreaking，but they were never going to give up.”可知，鲍勃面对如此劳累的工作却永不放弃，由此可以看出他的坚定；根据最后一段的第六句“They have never worked so hard.”可知，鲍勃现在十分努力，辛勤工作。故选C项。

Intensity exercises often get praised for their role in preventing illnesses like high blood pressure，heart disease，and Type 2 diabetes—not to mention their mental health benefits.But there’s a common mistake：the more intense the exercise，the better the benefits.A recent research shows that low-to-moderate(低到中等的) intensity exercise，such as Zone 2 training，may be just as—or even more—effective for improving health and endurance(持久力)．
Exercise intensity is often broken down into five separate heart rate zones，each representing a different percentage of your maximum heart rate.Zone 2，which falls between 60 to 70 percent of a person’s maximum heart rate，is “your all-day pace”．Theoretically，it’s at such a low intensity that you can keep going and going.
This kind of exercise offers a unique advantage：it’s just below the lactate threshold(乳酸阈值)—the point where lactate(an essential energy source) builds up in the blood faster than it can be removed.As exercise intensity increases beyond Zone 2，the body’s energy demands shift to favor a lactate-producing system over a lactate-consuming one.At these higher intensities，carbohydrate(碳水化合物) use increases as a rapid fuel source while fat burning slows down.
Zone 2 exercises can provide a competitive advantage for endurance athletes，as fat is more readily available as an energy source than sugars.“If you are able to use fat as an energy source when you are exercising，you are going to reduce your reliance on sugar stores，” says Holmer，an exercise scientist.It also improves endurance by increasing the body’s ability to use a more efficient way for longer periods of exercise.
For people just starting a fitness routine，Zone 2 training has some additional benefits，the major one being that it is sustainable.Zone 2 training can be done at a moderate pace，leaving a person feeling better the next day and ready to go again.In contrast，over-reliance on high-intensity training can lead to quicker burnout and longer recovery times.“Exercise doesn’t have to hurt，” Holmer says.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了低到中等强度的运动(如Zone 2训练)对健康和耐力的益处，尤其是其在预防疾病、提高身体效率方面的优势。

An extremely enthusiastic truth seeker who runs the YouTube channel Bright Insight claims to have found the mysterious city of Atlantis and insists that its true location has been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years.
In a video，YouTube blogger Jimmy Bright argues that the Richat Structure，a geologic dome(同心圆结构) in northwest Sahara also referred to as the Eye of the Sahara，is the most likely location of Atlantis.
He mentioned measurements from the famous Dialogues of Plato，which gave birth to the mystery.The Greek philosopher claimed that Atlantis was a long-gone kingdom，which stretched into Europe as far as Italy and into Africa as far as Egypt thousands of years ago.The giant island was said to be wiped off the face of the planet by a natural disaster“in a single day and night of misfortune”．
At first sight，this has nothing to do with the land-based Richat Structure，but Jimmy claims that the so-called Younger Dryas theory could be a possible explanation.According to it，a massive change in global temperatures caused unexpected climate change and sea level to rise.
In what can be viewed as another proof to the Sahara theory，the diameter(直径) of the Richat Structure’s outer circle is 23.5 km according to Google Map’s measurements，which matches those mentioned by Plato—127 stadia，which is roughly 23.5 km in today’s terms.
Another thing that helps solve the mystery is a theory that the Eye of the Sahara closely matches the description from Plato’s dialogues.The ancient philosopher wrote that the main city of Atlantis consisted of circles of water and land，which，Jimmy said，looks very similar to the circular form of the Richat Structure.
Although the majority of researchers believe that Plato’s story was nothing but a moral story used to describe a failed idea of seeking power and searching for fortune，it has raised quite a few theories.Since the Middle Ages，explorers have been pointing fingers at different places around the world，including the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea，with the most amazing theories linking the location of Atlantis to the Antarctic and the North Sea.
语篇解读　本文为说明文。Jimmy Bright声称他发现了神秘的亚特兰蒂斯城的真实位置，文章介绍了他的发现及依据。
32．What does Jimmy Bright claim to have discovered
A．The most likely location of Atlantis.
B．The formation of the Richat Structure.
C．The measurements in the Dialogues of Plato.
D．The reasons behind the Younger Dryas theory.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...claims to have found the mysterious city of Atlantis...”可知，吉米·布莱特声称发现了亚特兰蒂斯最有可能的位置。故选A。
33．How did Jimmy Bright do research into the location of Atlantis and arrive at a conclusion
A．By studying the history of ancient Egypt.
B．By analyzing the research into Plato’s life story.
C．By explaining the Younger Dryas theory in a scientific way.
D．By comparing the Richat Structure with the famous Dialogues of Plato.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第五段及第六段内容可知，吉米·布莱特将理查特结构的测量数据及构成与著名的《柏拉图对话录》中的记录进行了对比，从而得出的结论。故选D。
34．What’s the purpose of mentioning the Younger Dryas theory in paragraph 4
A．To stress the importance of the Richat Structure.
B．To present the influence it had on Atlantis.
C．To prove that Jimmy Bright might be correct.
D．To show Jimmy Bright’s opinion is unique.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“but Jimmy claims that the so-called Younger Dryas theory could be a possible explanation”可推知，提到新仙女木理论是为了证明吉米·布莱特也许是正确的。故选C。
35．What can be learned from the article
A．The Eye of the Sahara is a mystery mentioned in the Dialogues of Plato.
B．The Richat Structure is where the mysterious city of Atlantis used to lie.
C．The Younger Dryas may have caused the disappearance of Atlantis overnight.
D．Plato’s story is meant to inspire explorers to locate the exact position of Atlantis.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段末句和第四段内容可知，据说亚特兰蒂斯岛在“一天一夜之间”被一场自然灾害从地球表面抹去，而新仙女木事件是一场全球气温的大规模变化导致了意想不到的气候变化和海平面上升。 因此推断新仙女木事件可能导致亚特兰蒂斯在一夜之间消失了。故选C。

Letting Go of What Holds You Back
The truth is，we all have only a limited amount of time and energy each day. 36 Does that sound familiar We’ve all been there—feeling overwhelmed，as if carrying a heavy load on our backs.Whether it’s physical stuff in your living space or metaphorical(比喻的) trash in life，it’s time for a spring cleaning.
37 To do one thing well，you must have the concentration and go all out.Once Warren Buffet famously said，“Really successful people say no to almost everything.” He accumulated wealth by focusing laser-like on one thing—investing，and excelled in it by declining every other shiny distraction that crossed his path.
Reflecting on our life，we’ve unconsciously collected mental and emotional “junk”．Maybe it’s excessive TV watching，continuous gaming，tiring friendships，aimless social media consumption.Honestly，I’ll bet we could all name at least one TV show we’ve been absorbed in out of boredom instead of doing something productive.So the first step is taking stock of exactly what’s weighing you down each day.Then it’s time to start de-junking，but go slow. 38 Try tackling one thing per week so that it’s manageable.
Another sneaky trick is to replace bad habits with good alternatives，like switching from endless browsing on social media to learning a new skill instead. 39
Once the unnecessary weight is lifted off，you will have so much extra mental space and energy. 40 So say bye-bye to all the things holding you back and watch your success skyrocket as a result.Your future self will thank you.
A．Detail the time you spend on activities each week.
B．As a saying goes，jack(千斤顶) of all trades，master of none.
C．Throwing everything out at once will just leave you stressed out.
D．Or put away your phone while working，so you’re not distracted.
E．If we shoulder more than we can，we’ll end up exhausted and going nowhere.
F．When it comes to letting go of trouble causers，you have many alternatives.
G．Suddenly barriers seem not so tough when you’re not battling ten things at once.

I eventually managed to persuade my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school matches.My old shirt had worn out and made me depressed every time I put it on.But now I had a brand new shirt! I was so excited.I decided to wear it today for the first time during a kick about in our street.I wish I hadn’t! As soon as we had been playing for ten minutes，the shirt sleeve ripped when I made a turn.
I didn’t pay much attention to it at first.“I’ll sew it back together after the match，” I thought.But then I noticed that actually the whole sleeve was torn.Only a professional can mend it now.I couldn’t tell my mum and dad that my new football shirt was ruined.They would feel sad and they might not allow me to play football any longer.As I walked home，feeling totally at a loss what to do，I was astonished to suddenly come across a shop sign “All kinds of repairs and services！”
I went inside immediately.A man with white bushy hair said “Welcome！” I looked around the shop.I saw an iron，broken toys and a broken chair.“I guess this is the wrong place.What I really need is a tailor’s，” I thought to myself.But as I started to leave，I noticed a photo of a football team next to the sewing machine.I couldn’t make out which team it was.“Maybe the owner also liked playing football.” Thinking of this，I decided to have a try: “Excuse me，this tear needs repairing.I need it to take part in the school match.”

“I’ve been waiting a long，long time to repair a football shirt，” said the man.“Are you serious？” I held the shirt tight so he couldn’t take from me.I thought to myself，“My luck isn’t good today! I just wish I could run out of this shop and find other tailors.” But the man didn’t let me move and took the shirt from me.The man began to repair the tear with thread.A moment later，he showed me the patch that he was sewing onto the tear.“Great! The tear hardly shows now.Sorry for doubting you.I had thought that you wouldn’t be able to repair it，” I said.
I felt so relieved but began to worry about the charge.Noticing my anxiety，the man didn’t charge me and asked me if I wanted to be a professional football player.“No，because my parents think I should be an engineer，a doctor or a teacher，” I replied.He was silent and didn’t say anything else.He put my repaired shirt in a bag and patted me on the shoulder as I started to leave.“Follow your dreams，” he said.
