If you are thinking of competing with your dog, there is no shortage of options, with over 20, 000 events every year! No matter the breed of your dog, there’s an option for them!
1. Dog Agility (敏捷)
One of the most popular dog sports in the United States, agility is a test of both physical and mental ability. Agility competitions feature an obstacle course that a dog must run in the fastest time possible, guided by their owner. The course has various walkways, jumps, tunnels, A-frames, and more, all of which must be completed in order and as fast as possible.
2. Dog Flyball Competitions
Flyball is a great competition for fast, energetic dogs. The sport is a type of relay race with teams of four dogs, racing down a stretch of jumps and getting back a ball from a “flyball box, “ which is set off by the dog stepping on it, and then returning the ball back to the start, where the next dog is sent off. The team that completes the course in the fastest time wins. It is exciting to watch!
3. Trick Dog
As the name suggests, “trick dog” is a competition in which you teach your dog a short routine (4–6 minutes) of unique tricks that are then assessed by a team of judges. The routine can involve multiple tricks, music, and costumes. Best of all, the competition has been done actually in recent years, and you can compete from the comfort of your own home via video submission.
1. What do we learn about Dog Agility Competition
A. It only tests speed and strength.
B. The dog can choose its own route.
C. The owner and the dog act independently.
D. Concentration and discipline matter.
2. Which quality is valued more in Trick Dog than Flyball competitions
A. Teamwork. B. Speed.
C. Creativity. D. Energy.
3. Who is the text mainly written for
A. Dog judges. B. Dog owners.
C. Dog scientists. D. Dog video bloggers.
B
In October 2024, my overconfidence in my own strength left me with a lower back injury. Days later, the pain began radiating down the sciatic nerve in my left leg. Standing was fine, but sitting was torture (折磨). In order to sleep, I had to slide a pillow underneath my legs to keep the downward-pulsing shockwaves at bay.
In mid-December, I saw a pain medicine specialist. Once a week, I went in, got a soft-tissue massage and did well-supervised exercises and stretches. My pain wasn’t gone, but it was finally under control.
Meanwhile, I’ve also been seeing a new physio from Flok Health, the first AI clinic in the UK. When I first opened Flok, I was greeted by Kirsty, my therapist (理疗师). In our first session, Kirsty asked me questions about my pain, and I responded by clicking multiple-choice options. Rather than being a live video call, this interaction is a series of pre-recorded videos stitched (拼接) together by AI based on my answers. She asked me to follow her careful lead on the screen to decide the best course of treatment. She gave me stretches and exercises to try for the week ahead, with careful instructions not to push too hard or do anything that feels uncomfortable. Unlike my human physical therapists who corrected my posture and told me when I was doing something wrong, Kirsty can’t see me.
As to these AI tools, Elizabeth Stuart, a professor, said, “They are no different from other healthcare interventions. But sometimes they are a black box, changing under the hood in real time. We need to assess carefully how well they work and who they work for. While we don’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to AI, we do need to recognize these systems keep evolving. With some AI tools, they are sort of self-adapting.”
My back felt better after my sessions with Flok, but the app likely isn’t for me. I’m clumsy and uncoordinated and need someone watching my form at all times — if not, I’m likely to hurt myself further. That ability to watch patients and offer feedback on posture could be something AI will enable in the future — but until then, I’ll be sticking with the humans.
4. Why is the author’s back pain mentioned
A. To introduce the AI physio service.
B. To stress the severity of the back pain.
C. To complain about the healthcare system.
D. To highlight the importance of overconfidence.
5. What did Kirsty fail to do in treating the author’s back pain
A. Inquire about my previous symptoms.
B. Request me to follow her instructions.
C. Address the author’s posture errors timely.
D. Suggest stretches and exercises next week.
6. What’s Stuart’s view on AI health tools
A. Build new assessment rules.
B. Replace with black-box tech.
C. See them as a new care intervention.
D. Evaluate them with a forward-looking view.
7. What can we infer about the author’s future choice of therapy
A. Mainly use AI tools. B. Keep human therapists.
C. Switch to a new AI app. D. Stop all therapy sessions.
C
Over the past few weeks, many people in China have started raising “lobster” — and no, not the mouthwatering seafood. Chinese users have adopted this phrase to describe the process of setting up and training an AI agent called OpenClaw, which uses a red lobster as its logo.
For some years, we have had generative AI models like ChatGPT. While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them.
OpenClaw, developed by Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur Peter Steinberger, promises to be “the AI that actually does things”, according to its website. It sends emails, manages calendars, books flights, controls smart home devices and more.
What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications.
Such proactiveness is supported by “heartbeat”, a built-in timer that is used regularly. As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run. This enables the AI to continue working without user interaction.
However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI.
The risks are made worse by Moltbook, a social network launched in January, where the AI agents share posts with each other, and humans can only observe, reported Forbes. “Although it gained attention for showcasing AI-to-AI interactions, early findings revealed that it exposed entire databases,” Dr Shaanan Cohney from Australia’s University of Melbourne told Forbes.
8. What can we learn about generative AI models like ChatGPT from the passage
A. They can do tasks actively without prompts.
B. They have long-term memory like OpenClaw.
C. They wait for prompts to react inactively.
D. They can control smart home devices automatically.
9. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI
A. It needs a browser tab open all the time.
B. It has long-term memory and can work proactively.
C. It only provides information but does nothing.
D. It was developed by a Chinese engineer.
10. What is the function of OpenClaw’s “heartbeat”
A. It helps the AI remember users’ preferences forever.
B. It allows AI agents to share posts with each other.
C. It protects users from hackers and security risks.
D. It enables the AI to wake up to check tasks every half an hour.
11. Why did Chinese government issue official alerts about OpenClaw
A. Because it may contribute to severe safety threats.
B. Because it is too expensive for ordinary users.
C. Because it cannot work well in chat apps.
D. Because it has no long-term memory.
D
If just seeing someone take up two parking spots makes your blood boil, or you lie in bed each night replaying in your mind that someone took credit for your hard work, you know how difficult it is to let go of a grudge. Holding a complaint can somehow bring a strange sense of satisfaction, as if you’re proving that you’ve been unfairly wronged by others.
However, unresolved hurt can be emotionally tiring, and forgiveness, when it is safe and appropriate, may help loosen some of that stress. A new study shows that being a forgiving kind benefits both your body and mind. The researchers investigated “dispositional forgiveness” — a person’s forgiving nature. Being high in it seems to give you an edge on many fronts, including psychological well-being, purpose in life, relationship satisfaction and hope.
What happens in your brain when you get past a hurt Brain imaging studies show its powerful and fast-acting effects: Letting go of an offense activates pathways and parts of the brain that improve resilience (恢复力) to adversity and social bonds, according to a study review in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews.
The good news is that anyone can learn this vital skill — being forgiving. How To begin with, understand that the real reason you hold onto hurt is that you’re disappointed with how something turned out. As Fred Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects, puts it, “I’d heard similar stories that amounted to. I had this picture of how it was supposed to go, and then this other thing happened, and I couldn’t forgive that difference’. Forgiveness is about accepting life’s imperfections, making peace with the world telling you ‘no’.”
Some people find it much harder to forgive others, especially self-centered people and those with very reactive nervous systems that get fired up quickly. “Forgiveness often unfolds gradually, rather than all at once,” Scientist Richard Cowden notes. “It may help to think of it as a muscle that can be built with practice.”
12. What does the underlined word “grudge” in paragraph 1 mean
A. A cruel punishment. B. A past mistake.
C. A sense of relief. D. A feeling of anger.
13. What effect does forgiveness have on the brain
A. It helps build the defense against life’s hardships.
B. It reduces the activity of negative brain pathways.
C. It slows down the reaction of the nervous system.
D. It improves the ability to make immediate decision.
14. What prevents people from forgiving according to Fred Luskin
A. Their refusal to admit their own mistakes.
B. Their discontent with the unmet expectation.
C. Their lack of trust in other people’s good will.
D. Their fear of suffering from similar hurt again.
15. What does Richard Cowden say about forgiveness
A. It emerges quickly. B. It uses little energy.
C. It can be trained gradually. D. It belongs to certain people.

Pickleball: A Fastest-Growing Sport
Ready to learn how to play pickleball You’re not alone. ____16____ The International Federation of Pickleball is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
____17____ It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net height of 36", using square paddles and a plastic ball similar in size to a tennis ball. The 7-foot area on each side of the net is called “kitchen”, where players aren’t allowed to hit volleys (a shot hit out of the air).
Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve-hitting the ball diagonally (成对角线) to the receiver. It’s not meant to be an overpowering weapon like in tennis. ____18____ And if your receiver fails to return the ball over the net, either from the serve or in a rally (对抗), you get the point.
What is the two-bounce rule in pickleball It means that after a serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can hit it out of the air. ____19____ If you’re standing close to the net, you can’t legally hit it out of the air because you can only volley once the ball has bounced on each side. Once the two-bounce rule is met, all players are free to move to the kitchen and start volleying.
The game continues until one team gets 11 points. However, they must win by 2. That means 10-10 isn’t over; 11-10 isn’t over. You might see final scores of 12-10, 15-13, or even 21-19. ____20____
A. The sport is tons of fun.
B. These are often the most exciting games.
C. Otherwise, the serving team gains an advantage.
D. Instead, the goal is simply to keep the ball in the air.
E. Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis.
F. That’s why it makes no sense for the serving team to start at the kitchen.
G. Pickleball has more than five million players across 84 countries to date.

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。
It was July, the final day of the school year. My class of six-year-old students was eagerly looking forward to their summer break. To make the day more cheerful, I arranged for some balloons to be delivered, yet for me, this vacation was a mix of happiness and sadness. I had recently moved to this city and didn’t have enough money to take a flight home to be with my father. He was longing for me deeply, since this was his first summer without my company.
As I turned off the light before leaving, I spotted the balloons by the window.
Not knowing what to do with them, I gathered the thirteen strings and put them in the backseat of my car. Their colorful colors brightened my mood, and thankfully, I no longer felt so isolated.
Since I was still unfamiliar with the city, I chose to take a drive and before long, I found myself driving along a winding road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends reaching out to welcome one another. Soon, a nursing home came into view. The place had an air of being forgotten, and I noticed a man sitting by himself in the shadow outside.
I suddenly felt an urge to drive in. However, the balloons in my backseat were blocking my sight — at that moment, I realized how to use them. I got out, took hold of one of the strings, waved at the man, and he smiled back. He introduced himself as Daniel, and he was roughly the same age as my father. As I gave him the balloon, he beamed and said, “Thanks. This adds a bit of brightness to my life.” As he fastened it to his chair, he appeared more joyful than when I first saw him. So I replied with a smile, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.’
To my surprise, he responded, “Maybe, but it’s not likely. People are always invited to visit, but they seldom show up.” What he said forced me to pull an old chair closer to him. We began chatting about our lives, and the sound of his voice constantly brought my father to mind. I had imagined that having a conversation with a stranger would be dull. But it wasn’t; instead, it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, Daniel had felt the same, and so had the other residents of the nursing home.
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。
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.

Should You Trust Your First Impressions
I firmly believe we should trust our first impressions. They are often our instinctive and honest reactions, guiding us correctly in most cases.
I still remember my new deskmate last term. On the first day, he looked quiet and polite, which left me with a feeling that he was kind and helpful. As time went by, my first impression proved right. He was always ready to lend a hand, explaining difficult problems patiently and keeping our desk tidy.
First impressions are like a warm ray of light. They help us see a person quickly and often accurately. Trusting them is indeed a wise choice.
Should You Trust Your First Impressions
In my opinion, first impressions are not always reliable. Although they can offer quick insights, they are often based on limited information.
I still remember my first day at high school. I met my classmate Li Hua, who spoke little and kept a straight face. I thought he was cold and unfriendly, so I stayed away from him. However, weeks later we were paired for a project. To my surprise, he turned out to be warm and always ready to lend me a hand.
This experience taught me that first impressions are like the cover of a book. Sometimes they fool you. True understanding takes time and an open heart.

【答案】范文
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. When I asked if I could bring balloons inside, Daniel nodded, “It’s been a while since something cheerful came through the door.” Hearing this, I jogged to the car, gathered the strings from the backseat and the balloons were immediately freed, floating gloriously in the air. One by one, I handed them out to the residents inside, whose faces softened and even brightened up as the colors reached them. I could hear it, this sudden rustle of joy.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. Sometimes with balloons, sometimes with drawings my students made, our visits always began in the shade outside. Though he never said so, I could tell he waited for me. I did too for his voice, low and soft, was so much like Dad’s. I was grateful for the silence we shared when words weren’t needed. Through these visits, the city felt less foreign, but more like home. When I made it back home some day, I would tell Dad how a man brought him back to me, and how a handful of balloons, unexpectedly, lit up everything.
