Before breaking his back and injuring his spinal cord (脊髓) as a result of the fall from a high mountain in 2023, Darren Edwards’ dream had been to climb Mount Qomolangma one day. “I knew that Qomolangma was out for me after the accident, but I’m fortunate because I was able to take on some other great challenges with the support of some good friends,” Darren said.
Earlier this year, Darren joined the first all-disabled team to move across Europe’s largest icecap, unsupported and unassisted, on a sit-ski. It was during this trip that he realised he was no longer battling against his limitations. Rather, he was enjoying a very special adventure, one that he was able to do though he was disabled. “This was when I started dreaming of an even bigger adventure — to complete the furthest journey on a sit-ski in the history of the South Pole exploration,” he said.
Darren now skis for 10 to 12 hours every day. “I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力) challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below -20℃ before reaching the South Pole,” he said. “But I am fairly pleased to have the opportunity to take on the sit-ski exploration, especially because for one year after my accident I did not imagine I would be able to take up such challenges.” He also believes that the adventure will provide inspiration for anyone who has a spinal injury or anyone who is struggling.
Realising how fortunate he has been to be encouraged by others to take on new challenges and adventures, Darren and a friend have started a business, Adaptive Expeditions. “I know how much I have gained from being able to take on adventures that I never imagined would be possible due to the spinal cord injury. So we want to inspire individuals with disabilities by offering the same opportunities and impactful explorations to push their limits and discover their potential,” Darren said.
24. What did Darren learn from his sit-ski experience in Europe
A．Teamwork leads to a successful journey.
B．The disabled deserve support and assistance.
C．Physical disabilities never define a person.
D．Adventurous trips discourage disabled people.
25. Why does Darren train hard for his scheduled journey to the South Pole
A．To prepare for physical limits.
B．To improve his speed on the ski.
C．To reduce his disability impact.
D．To learn basic ski skills quickly.
26. How does Darren feel about his upcoming trip to the South Pole
A．Stressed and nervous.
B．Positive and determined.
C．Relieved and encouraged.
D．Worried and puzzled.
27. What does Darren want to do by founding Adaptive Expeditions
A．Teach the disabled to adapt to their daily life.
B．Encourage the disabled to make more friends.
C．Help the disabled turn hobbies into work.
D．Provide life-changing opportunities for the disabled.
C
Shingles (带状疱疹) is a painful skin condition caused by the chickenpox virus (水痘病毒). After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus does not disappear. Instead, it remains inactive in the body for many years, often for decades. As people age, their immune (免疫的) system naturally weakens, which can allow the virus to reactivate and cause shingles. Recently, researchers have discovered that the shingles vaccine (疫苗) may offer an unexpected extra benefit: it may help slow down the aging process.
A large-scale study conducted in Ontario, Canada, involved more than 464,000 residents. Over a seven-year period, scientists found that individuals who received the newer shingles vaccine were roughly one-fifth less likely to develop dementia (痴呆症) than those who did not. A second study of 3,800 adults aged 70 and older also showed that vaccinated participants had significantly lower levels of inflammation (炎症) and better overall health ratings. These findings clearly suggest that the vaccine’s effects extend well beyond simply preventing shingles.
Scientists are still unsure exactly how the vaccine produces this protective effect. One idea is that the inactive virus may quietly cause continuous mild damage over time, and the vaccine may help stop this ongoing harm and the low-level inflammation it causes could even play a role in the development of the dementia. Another possibility is that the vaccine enhances the overall immune system — for example, by increasing the production of white blood cells — which helps the body fight off various diseases. If true, other vaccines might also provide similar unexpected benefits.
Despite these promising findings, researchers warn that many questions still need answers before public health officials can recommend the vaccine for younger adults. Key uncertainties include how long the protective effect lasts, whether it becomes stronger with age, and whether the benefits apply to younger populations. Although the risk of serious side effects in younger people is thought to be low, more data are needed. Still, the lead author of the study said he found the evidence strong enough to get the vaccine himself. “If you’re going to talk the talk,” he said, “you’ve got to walk the walk.”
28. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A．The vaccine prevents chickenpox.
B．Shingles is the leading cause of dementia.
C．The vaccine may offer many health benefits.
D．Only people over 70 should get vaccinated.
29. How might the shingles vaccine slow aging
A．By destroying the chickenpox virus.
B．By keeping the virus permanently inactive.
C．By reducing inflammation as its main method.
D．By preventing hidden harm or strengthening immunity.
30. What does the lead researcher mean by “If you’re going to talk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk”
A．Personal action should follow public advice.
B．He acts on evidence he believes in.
C．Scientists should avoid making public statements.
D．He accepts evidence but waits for official approval.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A．A vaccine’s potential and its remaining uncertainties.
B．A major breakthrough in vaccine science.
C．Reasons to avoid vaccination for young adults.
D．Limitations of aging-related medical research.
D
On January 22, international researchers shared a significant finding in the scientific journal Nature. They discovered bursts of energy in an unexpected part of space, which they named “chorus waves”. These waves got their name because they vibrate (震动) at the same rates as the sounds we can hear. When changed into hearable signals, they sound just like birds chirping (鸣叫) cheerfully.
Scientists have been aware of chorus waves in space for years. However, the latest study brought a big surprise. The researchers found that these waves exist as far as 100,000 kilometers away from Earth. This is the greatest distance at which chorus waves have ever been detected from a planet.
Chengming Liu, a study writer from Beihang University, stated in an email, “Chorus waves are one of the strongest and most significant waves in space.” Allison Jaynes, a space physicist not participating in this study, commented, “This opens up a lot of new questions about the physics.”
The newfound chorus waves were detected in an area where Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field extends. Scientists didn’t expect to find them there. Now, they’re eager to figure out how these unique waves form. Jaynes added, “We surely need to find more of these events.”
Scientists still are not sure how chorus waves develop, but they believe Earth’s magnetic field is related to it. In the past, radio antennas (天线) detected chorus waves. For example, in the 1960s, an Antarctic research station picked them up. NASA’s Van Allen Probes also heard the chirping sounds, but from a closer distance. The most recent chorus waves were detected by NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites, which were sent into space in 2015 to study Earth and the sun’s magnetic fields.
Chorus waves have also been found near other planets including Jupiter and Saturn. The waves can produce high-energy electrons. That means they can be a danger to satellite communications. The researchers said their findings suggest that chorus waves might be found everywhere in the magnetic fields of planets.
32. What makes chorus waves get their name
A．Their vibration rates like the sounds we can hear.
B．The place where they are first discovered.
C．The way they affect satellite signals.
D．Their movement speed in space.
33. What can be inferred from the scientists’ comments
A．Discoveries lack importance.
B．Wave creation is clear.
C．Further research is necessary.
D．Waves pose satellite risks.
34. Which detected the chorus waves at the greatest distance from Earth
A．NASA’s Van Allen Probes.
B．NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites.
C．An Antarctic research station in the 1960s.
D．Scientists from Beihang University.
35. Which is the best title for the text
A．Scientists’ Great Debate on Chorus Waves.
B．Chorus Waves Threatening Satellites.
C．The Naming Story of Chorus Waves.
D．Revealing the Mysteries of Chorus Waves.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写二段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。词数150左右。
When I was in junior high school, my home was only a ten-minute walk from the school. Instead of staying in the dormitory, I went home every noon to have lunch with my mother. These daily lunches were a comforting routine, but little did I know that these lunchtimes would have a profound impact on me.
The school year’s highlight was the annual drama competition. To my joy and surprise, I was selected by my teacher to play the lead role of the princess in the play. It was a dream part, and I was determined to excel. Every day after lunch, my mother would help me practice my lines. However, a frustrating problem arose. No matter how perfectly I delivered my lines in the living room, the moment I stepped onto the vast stage, my mind would go blank. The bright lights and silent, expectant audience seemed to swallow my words whole. After several unsuccessful rehearsals, my teacher, with a sympathetic but firm expression, made a difficult decision. She took me aside, explaining that she believed my clear voice was perfectly suited for the crucial role of the narrator, and asked me to consider switching roles. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed something was wrong. After lunch, instead of practicing lines as usual, she invited me for a walk in the yard. The yard was full of beautiful red roses in full bloom. But among the roses grew many white dandelions (蒲公英). I asked my mother why she didn’t remove the dandelions. She replied that she thought every flower had its own beauty, whether it was a delicate rose or a small dandelion. Her simple, accepting words struck a chord (引起共鸣) deep within me.
I could no longer hold back the flood of sad tears.

Dear Henry,
How time flies! My first year of high school has come to an end.
I made progress in English but fell behind in math, so I plan to spend more time on it this summer. Besides study, I’ve made several close friends and joined the basketball club after school. We always have great fun together.
High school life is busy but rewarding. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

六、读后续写范文
I could no longer hold back the flood of sad tears. I poured out my disappointment to Mom, complaining that I lost the leading role I had longed for and felt worthless compared with the girl who replaced me. Mom patted my back gently and pointed at the dandelions. Though they were not as gorgeous as roses, they spread joy wherever they flew and brought unique beauty to the yard. Every flower had its own shining point, just like every role in the play.
“You will be an excellent narrator,” Mom said, holding my hands. Her warm words calmed me down completely. I realized the narrator connected the whole story and guided the audience’s feelings, an equally vital part. From then on, I practiced my tone and rhythm every noon. On competition day, my smooth narration won warm applause. I finally understood that every position matters and one can shine wherever he stands.
