My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".
The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".
4. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.

6. How was the author’s first marathon

B．He quit halfway.
C．He got the first prize.
D．He walked to the end.
7. What does the story mainly tell us

B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．One is never too old to learn.
C
The world has been changing very quickly since the introduction of generative (生成的) artificial intelligence (AI). Generative AI now helps write stories, create art and answer questions, and it can even copy people’s voices. It’s being used in schools, offices, music and movies. Even the Oscars (奥斯卡奖) are changing because of AI.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has updated its rules, saying films that use AI are now allowed to win awards. So even if a movie uses AI to help with writing, editing or voices, it can still win Hollywood’s biggest prize. The Academy explained that using AI will not help or hurt a film’s chances of getting nominated (被提名), although human creativity and input are still the things that matter most. “AI is just a tool,” said Academy president David Rubin. “What truly makes a film great is the human story behind it.”
The use of AI in film became a talking point after this year’s Oscars, when Adrien Brody won Best Actor for his work in The Brutalist. In the film, both Brody and his co-star Felicity Jones had to speak Hungarian, a very difficult language to pronounce. According to the film’s editor David Jancso, AI was used to perfect their speech. “They did a wonderful job, but we also wanted to perfect it so that even locals will not notice any difference.” Another Oscar-winning film, the musical Emilia Perez, used AI to improve the singing of the actors.
The use of AI is becoming more common in the film and music industries. But not everyone is happy about it. During the 2023 Hollywood strikes, many actors and writers spoke out about AI, saying they were worried it could take away their jobs. Some worried that studios might use it to write scripts instead of hiring real writers, and others feared their voices or faces could be copied by AI without their permission (许可). Industry experts suggest that while AI can assist in production, it cannot replace human creativity and emotional depth that audiences connect with.
8. What does the Academy say about AI in films
A．AI films are unable to win Oscars.
B．All films will use AI in the near future.
C．AI doesn’t change a film’s chance to win.
D．AI is becoming more important than humans.
9. How does the author show the influence of AI on the film industry
A．By giving examples of AI in films.
B．By presenting the history of AI.
C．By focusing on technical details.
D．By comparing AI with traditional tools.
10. Why were some Hollywood workers unhappy about AI
A．It made their voices sound strange.
B．It completely changed Oscar rules.
C．It might make them lose their jobs.
D．It made movies win too many awards.
11. What is the best title for the text
A．AI in the Oscars: Rules & Influence
B．AI in Film-Making: Future & Possibilities
C．AI in the Film Industry: Creativity & Success
D．AI in Hollywood: Advantages & Disadvantages
D
Teenagers who spend more time on extracurricular activities (课外活动) and less than two hours of screen time after school are more mentally healthy, according to a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine.
The study used information collected from more than 28, 000 seventh-grade Canadian students between 2014 and 2018. The students first answered questions about their usage of screen time after school, including how much time they spent watching TV or something else. Then, students reported how many days they had participated in after-school activities such as sports or arts programmes. After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind. For instance, when given a statement such as “I start most days thinking that I will have a good day”, they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale (等级). Researchers said that in the study some of the results were expected. Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators (指标) of mental health, as previous research had discovered that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety compared to boys.
What was noteworthy, researchers say is that even among students who took part in after-school activities, 46% still went beyond the recommended screen time of two hours. In the meantime, 67% of students who didn’t get involved in after-school activities also had more than two hours of screen time. Together, this indicates high screen time among teenagers generally.
“The findings suggest that after-school activities are valuable for the happy growth of teenagers.” the study said “While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic development, the present study highlights their importance for good mental health results.”
12. Which of the following came last when students took part in the new study
A．Talking about their lifestyles.
B．Introducing their after-school activities.
C．Reporting their mental states on a scale.
D．Answering questions about screen time use.
13. What conclusion can we draw from the findings about teenage girls
A．They are less anxious than boys.
B．They have a higher score in mental health.
C．Few of them take part in after-school activities.
D．Too much screen time may be more harmful to them.
14. What does the author want to show by using the figures in paragraph 3
A．Earlier findings about screen time are wrong.
B．High screen time is common among teenagers.
C．No after-school activities mean no screen time.
D．Screens appeal to teenagers more than after-school activities do.
15. Why are after-school activities so important according to the new study
A．They are good for teenagers’ physical health.
B．They help to improve teenagers’ mental health.
C．They allow teenagers to become better.
D．They contribute to teenagers’ social development.
二、七选五
How Can I Fight Laziness
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
___16___ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency (趋势) to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. ___17___ Others take a more active approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment. However, watching too much TV in your spare time often contributes to laziness. ___18___ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.
___19___ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
___20___ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can enable you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A．To fight family laziness, set an example.
B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D．Finally, developing a healthy lifestyle can help you fight laziness.
E．With strong determination (意志力), you will be able to achieve your goal.

G．Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping （哭泣) sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding (责备) from her mother. Having wandered (闲逛） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand (摊位) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes… but I don’t have money on me” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,”said the man, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it ” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb (呆滞的）with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered (饱经风霜的) hands. “Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的；蒙恩的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.
