I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world, but like so many others, I ended up on choosing to follow a career path instead of following my dream. I founded a company that I loved. Everything changed when I broke up with my girlfriend.
Sadness pushed me to my breaking point. It took me around three months after the break-up to finally make the decision to leave and travel the world. It was one of the hardest things I had ever done, but it was also the best choice I ever made in my life.
To this day, I still remember the day I called my parents, who are also deaf, to discuss my plans to travel the world. Both of my parents gave me their full support. They told me to go ahead and helped book my flight to Thailand.
I chose Southeast Asia as my first, and I was fortunate to spend it with my good friend Mic Dolan. We spent about six weeks backpacking through Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, having fun with tiger cubs and riding elephants. There was a new adventure every day. We paused long enough in Thailand to get certified in scuba diving, which turned out to be my favorite part. After that trip, I flew to Europe to meet another friend, John Hathaway. In this part of the journey, John and I turned our travels into a full-time adventure and we shared all of our stories on the Vlog platform Seek The World.
Showing the people that I met and my readers who I am makes me more confident with what I want for my life. After meeting many deaf people, I realized that I have done one thing that everybody wants to do: I’m reaching my dream by breaking down communication barrier (障碍) and overcoming different challenges. I always find a way. And I always make things happen. I didn’t do that in the past; I’m grateful that I do now.

In the 1950s, researchers found that bus drivers were twice as likely to have heart attacks as bus conductors. Since then, dozens of studies have found links between sitting and a variety of illnesses, with a 2013 analysis of studies concluding: “Higher amounts of daily sitting time are linked with greater risk of death.”
Too much sitting will cause postural(姿势的) problems, including knee pain and lower back pain. Studies have found a connection between long-time sitting and different forms of bone and muscle pain as well as neck pain.
You can ease this problem to some extent by making some movements. However, being very active doesn’t entirely protect you from sitting too long. You could run for an hour every morning and meet the government guidelines for physical activity, but then sit down for the rest of the day -which would mean sitting too long, in terms of risk.
There’s also the cardio-metabolic(心血管代谢) problem caused by long sitting. It’s not completely understood why sitting seems to be related to a range of health conditions, but the most reasonable explanation is that it puts your body at rest. When you do it for long enough, your metabolism slows. You are actually switching off some of your body’s largest muscles, with results that range from increased waist size to risks of illnesses.
So, what should you be doing I’m proving your posture can be effective. At work, keeping your screen at eye level and your feet flat on the floor is a good start. The easiest way to make a significant difference, though, is to get up every 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Best of all, of course, is standing for a while once you are up. Ask yourself: Is there something you’re doing that doesn’t require you to sit down Could you read your emails standing up Could you go for a walk while you think
Were you standing comfortably while you read this Maybe you should have been.
8. Where is this text probably from
A．A sports guidebook.
B．A science magazine.
C．A newspaper advertisement.
D．A working-instruction brochure.
9. What can we know about postural problems
A．They feature pain in various body parts.
B．One-hour exercise can help to solve them.
C．They can be entirely corrected by movements.
D．Long runs can contribute to their development.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning cardio-metabolic problem
A．Scientific research into it.
B．Its harmful effects on health.
C．How it leads to people’s thick waists.
D．Why it is connected with long-sitting.
11. What is the best title for the text
A．When Do You Need to Stand Up
B．Long Sitting: Negatives and Positives
C．Long Sitting: Effects and Suggestions
D．How Long Do You Spend Sitting Down
D
You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others--and even themselves--to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have filler, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
12. What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 probably refer to
A．People and things around you.
B．Opportunities and problems.
C．Creators and their choices.
D．Victims and their sufferings.
13. According to Paragraph 2, creators ________.
A．seem willing to experience failures in life
B．possess the ability to predict future life
C．handle ups and downs of life wisely
D．have potential to create something new
14. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that ________.
A．different reactions to sufferings lead to different life paths.
B．people need family support to deal with challengers in life.
C．it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.
D．one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A．To define victims and creators.
B．To evaluate victims against creators.
C．To explain the relationship between victims and creators.
D．To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.

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 a sunny Friday afternoon, and the school sports field was filled with excitement.
The annual sports meeting was in full swing, and the atmosphere was electric. Students were cheering, teachers were busy organizing events, and athletes were stretching or practicing their starts. Among them was Lily, a shy but determined senior high student who was about to take part in the 4×100-meter relay race as the last runner. She fixed her eyes nervously on the distant finish line.
Lily’s team had practiced for weeks, and they had high hopes of winning. She stood at the starting point, watching her teammates run towards her. The first runner passed the baton (接力棒) smoothly to the second, and then the second to the third. As the third runner approached, Lily stretched out her hand, ready to grab the baton. But just as the baton was about to reach her, a strong wind blew, and she accidentally stepped on a small stone, losing her balance. She fell to the ground, hurting her knee and dropping the baton. The baton rolled a few feet away, and she stared at it in horror as time seemed to slow down.
Tears welled up in Lily’s eyes as she saw the other teams’ last runners speeding past her. She felt ashamed and disappointed, thinking she had let her team down. She sat on the ground, not knowing what to do. The noise of the crowd seemed to die down, and all she could feel was the pain in her knee and the weight of her failure.
But then, something unexpected happened. Her teammates rushed over to her, instead of blaming her, they knelt down and asked if she was okay. The third runner, Anna, put a hand on her shoulder and said softly, “It’s not over yet, Lily. We’re all here for you.” Other students from the crowd also came over, some bringing some water to her. A school doctor quickly arrived and dressed her wound.
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。
Despite the pain in her knee, Lily didn’t want to give up halfway.

书信写作参考范文
Dear Lisa,
I’m really worried to know your grades dropped sharply because you relied too much on AI to finish homework.
In my opinion, AI can never be a replacement for independent thinking. You should try to do homework on your own first. When you meet difficult problems, you can turn to AI for ideas instead of copying answers directly.
I believe you will make progress if you use AI properly.
Yours,
Li Hua

She knew she was not alone and the whole team stood together.
Lily, together with her teammates, began to run slowly. They ran side by side all the way to the finish line. They didn’t care about the result any more. When they reached the end, everyone applauded warmly. Lily felt warm and moved. She realized that true teamwork was about support and care rather than just winning the race. This unforgettable experience taught her a meaningful lesson.
