The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A．D．, the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat — tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D．P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.

Coined as “deliveryman by day, poet by night”, 55-year-old Wang Jibing earns a living as a delivery person in Jiangsu Province. He started writing poems online in the 2000s, and later expanded to different social media platforms. He also came under the spotlight as his name was on the 2023 list of new members for the Chinese Writers Association, igniting (点燃) praise and discussions among Chinese netizens.
Dropping out of secondary school, Wang tried various jobs to make a living, such as a construction worker and working on sand mining boats, as well as a garbage collector.

Our ship sailed on the sea into the Earth’s night. Here, there was no visible light from the Sun or the Earth Engines. But as we looked up, we children saw the starry sky for the first time in our lives. How breathtakingly beautiful it was!
Ms Xing put an arm around us while pointing at the sky with her other hand. “Look, children! That is Proxima Centauri (比邻星), our new home!” With these words, tears ran slowly down her face. Before long, we were all in tears—even the captain and crew. We all looked in the direction that Ms Xing was pointing. There was only one point of light among the twinkling stars that shined constantly: Proxima Centauri—the only source of hope and comfort for a hundred future generations. “Whatever risks we might take, we will finally make it there!” said the captain, in an assured voice.
On our way back from the sea, we saw the first sign that Earth had begun its journey. In the night sky, a huge comet had appeared. It was the Moon, abandoned by humankind. Lunar Engines had been installed to the Moon to force it out of its orbit so that a disastrous crash could be avoided as the Earth sped up and moved away. As it progressed, the gravitational tide of the Moon caused the ocean to swell, creating gigantic waves. We quickly got off the ship to our destination in the Southern Hemisphere. The next few days were the countdown to our departure.
Finally came the big day! As Earth Engines was set at a full power, we got immediately blinded by the bright light from it. This acceleration created massive tsunamis hundreds of meters high that crashed onto the coasts of every continent. Burning hot hurricanes roared through the boiling waves, screaming with wild fury and pulling up almost every tree on Earth.
Our Earth, with its blue tail cutting through the darkness of space, had set out on its long journey, and with it went all of humankind.
8．Why did we all cry when looking up into the sky
A．Because we had to abandon the Earth.
B．Because we were fascinated by the stars.
C．Because we saw our new settlement.
D．Because we felt lonely in the universe.
9．What was the function of the Lunar Engines
A．To protect the Earth from a deadly impact.
B．To make sure the Moon runs in its orbit.
C．To keep the moon at the same speed as the Earth.
D．To shelter humans from the tide of the Moon.
10．Which of the following words can best describe the journey
A．Smooth and steady. B．Endless and hopeless.
C．Exciting and entertaining. D．Ambitious and adventurous.
11．Where is the text probably taken from
A．A personal diary. B．A science fiction.
C．A travel magazine. D．An academic article.
The ease of looking up facts on a phone anytime is a modern wonder, but are we becoming unwilling to think A new study indicates that the more we use the Internet for information recall, the more we will do so in the future.
Psychologists described how they first asked people a set of difficult questions. One group was told to use a search engine to answer them while the other group answered them from memory. Next, subjects were given easier questions and offered the choice of searching online or not. It turned out that the ones who had previously used the search engine were more likely to use it again — even if it was more inconvenient.
It would be unreasonable to draw the conclusion that, over time, no one will bother remembering anything at all. But such a conclusion may still come as grist to the mill for those who have long been arguing that the Internet makes us stupid. The truth, of course, depends on what “stupid” means. If we all come to increase our “cognitive (认知的) offloading” onto the Internet, that may simply promote a shift in the way we value mental abilities. Since recall of facts is now so easy through the Internet, we may just become less impressed by factual knowledge, and more impressed by understanding and creativity.
It may help put things in perspective to recall that such argument was already conducted at the very birth of Western culture. An ancient Egyptian inventor showed the Egyptian king his inventions and he was particularly proud of writing: “This invention will make the Egyptians wiser.” But the king thought the opposite. Writing, he argued, would “produce forgetfulness in people’s minds, because they won’t practice their memory.”
Writing itself is just as much an external technology as the Internet is. Writing is also a tool of extended cognition. The difference is that we have had thousands of years to get used to it. The truth about the question of whether our reliance on modern electronic devices is better or worse for us is that it’s simply too early to tell.
12．What did online searching cause in the new study
A．Mental effort. B．Habitual dependence.
C．Poor memory. D．Information confusion.
13．What does the underlined phrase “grist to the mill” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Effective support. B．Real concern.
C．Clear doubt. D．Mild opposition.
14．Why is the story of the Egyptian king mentioned
A．To reveal effects of technology.
B．To introduce the origin of writing.
C．To compare different inventions.
D．To show similar worries in history.
15．What can be the best title for the text
A．How New Tools Change Our Brain
B．Is the Internet Making Minds Lazy
C．Cognitive Offloading: A New Option
D．Internet or Memory: Which to Choose
Plants don’t hear sound like humans do, but they can feel vibrations from sound and respond positively to certain types of music, according to a study published in Nature. The sound vibrations from music copy natural influences like wind or water. 16 They have taller stems (茎), larger flowers, and healthier leaves. Singing can also encourage healthy plants by adding CO .
Chris Beardshaw, a gardening expert, conducted a greenhouse experiment comparing music types. He discovered that classical music slightly improved growth, while the music of rock and roll singer Cliff Richard led to plants dying. The loud, rhythmic energy of heavy metal proved most effective for flowering. 17
Overall, findings seem to demonstrate that plants prefer more rhythmic types, especially classical and heavy metal. According to the garden company Moana nursery, classical music seems to work wonders to keep the pores (气孔) on the outer skin of plants open longer. 18 Heavy metal appears to stimulate even greater growth. You can even find playlists on Spotify made just for your plants.
However, understanding plants’ music taste can be tricky. It can depend on all sorts of variables like plant type, music style, and environmental factors. 19 The improvements in plant health observed during these studies could also be caused by better plant care and attentive behavior from caretakers.
20 Play Mozart’s light music as you tend to flowers, or put on Metallica’s energetic beats while planting vegetables. You might notice lusher (更茂盛的) growth, or maybe no change at all. But either way, at the very least, you’ll have a great soundtrack.
A．In this way, they can take in more air.
B．Plants may sense someone is watching them nearby.
C．It was revealed that plants exposed to music grow faster.
D．After all, unlike animals, plants’ sense of hearing is weak.
E．Stricter controls are needed to link music and plant growth.
F．A link between energetic music and plant health is suggested.
G．Whether plants like music or not, adding it to your gardening.

五、书面表达
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。
Sophia and her best friend, Melody, had been inseparable since middle school. Under the sheltering tree of their friendship, they had shared countless laughs and whispered secrets, though they had different personalities: Sophia preferred quiet reading while Melody loved exploring the new city paths on her old bicycle. Even the strongest trees can be shaken by a sudden storm. One afternoon, a small misunderstanding gathered into a dark cloud that threatened their precious bond.
It began with a crucial literature project that would significantly impact their final grade. Sophia, always the planner, had spent the entire afternoon alone in the quiet classroom preparing their presentation. Her fingers moved quickly and skillfully across the keyboard as she arranged slides and typed notes. Each slide was filled with strong arguments and well-chosen pictures that showed how hard she had worked. As evening approached, painting the classroom windows in shades of orange and grey, she kept looking at the clock. Her worry grew with every minute. Melody was late again. The empty chair beside her seemed to laugh at her, making her feel both lonely and angry at the same time.
When Melody finally rushed in, breathless and upset, her explanation came out as a confused mix of words. “I’m so sorry, but my...” she began, only to be cut off by Sophia whose patience had run out. “Something always happens with you! Do you ever stop to consider how your actions affect others ”
The sharp words flew out, and Melody’s initially apologetic expression hardened instantly. “And you always have to control everything! It’s so tiring trying to meet your perfect standards!” she shot back, her voice shaking with strong emotion. The air in the room became thick and difficult to breathe, filled with their hurt feelings and wounded pride. They picked up their books in angry silence, the half-finished project now representing the broken foundation of their friendship. Walking home on different sides of the street, the setting sun created two separate shadows stretching behind them — a perfect picture of the sudden space that had grown between them.

The Power of Perseverance Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition is a story of survival. In 1914, his ship Endurance was crushed by ice, leaving him and his crew stranded. Despite extreme hardships, Shackleton never gave up. He sailed dangerous waters to seek help and eventually rescued every single member of his team.
This story inspires me deeply. It shows that true strength lies in determination, not physical power. Whenever I face difficulties in my studies, I remind myself that perseverance can turn the impossible into possible. Shackleton’s courage teaches me to stay hopeful even in the darkest times.
47．One Possible Version:
That night, Sophia lay in bed, worried about their relationship and the project. Tossing and turning for hours, she couldn’t stop replaying their bitter argument. A wave of guilt washed over her as she thought about how she had cut Melody off without letting her explain. Staring at the half-finished slides, she remembered all the creative ideas Melody had contributed. With a heavy heart, she realized her pursuit of perfection had hurt the person who cared about her most. She picked up her phone and sent Melody a message, asking to meet at the cafe the next day.
The next day, Melody arrived early at the cafe, hoping to continue her interrupted explanation. She sat nervously, twisting a crumpled hospital receipt in her hand. To her surprise, Sophia walked in ten minutes early and apologized sincerely for her rudeness. Tears in her eyes, Melody explained that her neighbor grandma had fallen and she had rushed her to the hospital. Relieved and regretful, they hugged tightly. They spent the rest of the morning finishing the project together, knowing their friendship had grown stronger through this misunderstanding.
