Julia Hawkins, who was nicknamed “Hurricane”, died on Oct. 22, 2024, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after a “very short illness,” her daughter, Margaret Martens, confirmed to ABC News.
“She had quite a run,” Martens said of the extraordinary life of her mom, who is survived by her four children as well as three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Julia Hawkins picked up the sport of running at the age of 100. She set a world record in the100-meter dash at the 2017 National Senior Games. At the 2019 National Senior Games, Hawkins won gold medals in both the 50-meter dash and the 100-meter dash in the women’s 100-plus division. At that time, Hawkins was believed to be the oldest woman to compete on an American track, according to the National Senior Games Association.
Hawkins told “Good Morning America” in 2019 that she turned to running as an alternative to competitive cycling, a sport in which she also won multiple national titles after picking it up later in life.
“I just keep busy. I keep moving,” Hawkins told “GMA” in 2019 about her secret to longevity. “I don’t do any exercises particularly. I used to, but I don’t think I need to anymore.” “I’ve always been careful how I eat, eat healthy and keep my weight at a certain point,” she added.
Martens said Hawkins also attributed her longevity to her many hobbies, which included fly fishing, gardening, singing and watching Louisiana State University football.
Hawkins’ late husband, who died in 2013 at the age of 95, was a professor at LSU, according to Martens. In 2021, Hawkins ran her last race at the age of 105 in her home state of Louisiana. She set a new record during the race as the only woman in the 105 — 109 age group to run the 100-meter dash.

Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure of Americans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺).
Deep within Glacier National Park, visitors are now met with an amazing sight: a peaceful lake of pale blue water lying among towering peaks. Beautiful as it is, the very presence of this lake is not desired by people. Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from the Sun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting(融化).
The park has already lost 60 percent of its namesake glaciers since the 1850s, and scientists predict their complete disappearance by the century's end. Families from all over the US and abroad flood to these natural wonders to create memories that will last.
Conserving the national park is one of the rare issues that brings political opponents together in the US. With tens of millions of visitors to these sites every year, it is also an economic necessity. The US government recently announced considerable funds to help. This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations.
“ But it's now pretty clear that it's not achievable in many places,” admits John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service climate change response program.“ It's certainly Possible that the park could lose the iconic feature for which it has been named.”
The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening.
8. What does the underlined word “emblem” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Symbol. B．Location. C．Recovery. D．Construction.
9. Why is the new lake in the park mentioned
A．To highlight the economic value of the park.
B．To serve as evidence of the warming climate.
C．To explain the process of glacier formation.
D．To describe a new popular tourist attraction.
10. What can be learned about the National Park Service
A．It mainly allows for economic benefits.
B．It shows confidence in restoring the park.
C．It is forced to adjust its protection principle.
D．It is taking measures to limit visitor numbers.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A．A New Idea for Park Conservation
B．A Park Is Economically on Thin Ice
C．A Political Agreement on Renaming a Park
D．A Park Might Be at Risk of Redefining Itself
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate calculations for the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of upcoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (Tex Net). “It’s a matter of life and death, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the potential to significantly improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. Therefore, the next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This way could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
12. How does the AI forecast earthquakes
A．By identifying data from the satellites.
B．By analyzing background sounds in the Earth.
C．By modeling data based on earthquake recordings
D．By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
13. What does Alexandros intend to show in paragraph 3
A．The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B．The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C．The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D．The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.
14. What does the follow-up research focus on
A．Conducting tests in the location of Texas.
B．Building more earthquake stations in Texas.
C．Train the AI calculation accuracy.
D．Applying the AI approach to other fields.
15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A．Stable but outdated.
B．Effective but costly.
C．Potential and economical.
D．Advanced and promising.

Small Talk: More Than Just Chit-Chat
People often complain about small talk, describing it as “painful” or “dishonest”. ____16____ However, this common opinion fails to recognize the true value of small talk in our daily interactions.
As a matter of fact, small talk serves as an essential social “safety zone”. ____17____ According to etiquette expert Lizzie Post, discussing light topics like hobbies or recent events establishes initial harmony. This foundation makes it easier to transition to more substantial conversations later, whether in a work setting or a new friendship.
Some argue that small talk is boring, but this often reflects poor communication skills rather than a flaw in the activity itself. Effective small talk requires genuine engagement. ____18____ This means putting away your phone, making eye contact, and actively turning into the other person’s reactions. If they lean in and smile at a topic, you can explore it further; if they glance away or give short answers, politely shift to a new topic or invite them to share their own perspective.
____19____ During a two-hour flight, I began with simple talk about travel plans with my seatmate. Gradually, both of us felt more comfortable opening up to each other. This casual start eventually led to a meaningful discussion about life changes and personal growth. We reached this depth precisely because we started with accessible, low-pressure topics.
Small talk isn’t about being superficial — it’s a practical social tool that facilitates human connection. ____20____ In fact, it smooths our daily social encounters and opens doors to deeper conversations that might never occur otherwise. Without these simple, everyday exchanges, our social interactions would feel much more awkward and less satisfying.
A．Its value, however, is often overlooked.
B．It demands full presence and careful observation of the other person.
C．They generally claim it lacks depth and avoids meaningful topics.
D．Consider this real-life example from my own experience.
E．Good small talk depends on more than just the words you say.
F．Without proper skills, small talk can feel shallow and forced.
G．It creates a comfortable atmosphere before deep conversations begin.

This time, I ____26____ it for three years, achieving distances I’d never imagined. Last year, I ran my first marathon and loved it. The sense of ____27____ was incredible, and I wanted more. Now, I ____28____ call myself a runner, even if I’m not breaking ____29____.
At first, I couldn’t run a mile without ____30____. I combined walking and running, gradually improving until I could run nonstop. I learned consistency ____31____ more than intensity. To build this habit, I used strategies. I slept with my running clothes on to eliminate ____32____. I also prioritized running early, treating it like a “big rock” in my schedule — if I didn’t do it first, other tasks would fill my time.
The ultramarathon was tough, but the ____33____ was excellent. Everyone pushed their ____34____. Crossing the finish line made me feel like a ____35____, even if I wasn’t first.

Recently, I went on a five-day trip to Hong Kong and Macao with my parents. At first, ____36____ I anticipated was only beautiful scenery and delicious food, but the journey turned out to be ____37____ valuable lesson that taught me more about culture and history.
Our first stop was Hong Kong. What touched me most was the way the city combines modern life with a rich history. ____38____ (stand) on Victoria Peak at night, I saw skyscrapers (摩天大楼) shining like stars. Nearby, however, old streets were home ____39____ quiet traditional tea houses, ____40____ locals chatted in Cantonese.

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。
Sweat poured down Mark’s face. He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent.
Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted.
Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path.
Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away ” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family.
Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family.
As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door.
“So… ” his father asked.
“The tryout It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done.
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。
Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition.

五、书信范文
Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that heavy pressure from senior year has disturbed your sleep and study. I fully understand how tough it is for you.
I’d like to recommend jogging to you. It costs nothing and you can do it anywhere. Each 20-minute jog helps release stress by producing happy chemicals. It also improves your sleep quality, letting you focus better in class. You can jog after evening self-study to refresh yourself.
Hope my advice works for you.
Yours,
Li Hua
六、读后续写范文
Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” Silence fell instantly. His parents’ smiles faded away, shocked and confused. Dad asked anxiously why he gave up the sport the whole family counted on. Mark took out the audition poster and admitted he loved cheerleading deeply. He explained cheerleading challenged him in new ways and he desired to chase his own dream instead of copying Reggie. After hearing his sincere words, his parents calmed down and agreed to support his choice.
A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Darren came to cheer for Mark. Nervous but confident, Mark stepped onto the ground. He perfectly finished all difficult moves he’d practiced secretly. The judges praised his strength and coordination. Soon Mark received the news that he made the team. Holding the admission notice, he felt proud to finally follow his true heart.
