阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Dangerous as they are,extreme sports remain appealing among many young people! Camp Extreme is the perfect test of your heart.
Kite Surfing
It’s an exciting mixture of kites,boards and waves.The idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like a new challenge:yet the art of kite flying dates back to hundreds of years ago in China when it was a simple flying machine.
Catch a wind and you’re moving up,down and across the surf.“It’s always exciting.You’d jump 5 feet or 35 feet.You never know if you’re going to go up in the air,and your heart is just going boom,boom,boom.”
Coasteering
It is by far the best activity and an event that everyone is still talking about.This is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking your route. You climb,dive and swim from one place to another.With coasteering,you don’t have to be able to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy (浮力) aid will keep you floating when you are in the water.
Sky Diving
Traditional parachuting (跳伞) doesn’t sound risky enough.So now sky diving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move fast towards the Earth before you open your parachute at the last moment.
Mountain Biking
It’s been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain.Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road,often over rough land,using specially adapted mountain bikes.Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes,but include features designed to improve strength and performance in rough areas.
(　　)21.What are all the four extreme sports mainly intended to test
A.One’s heart beat.
B.One’s courage.
C.One’s potential strength.
D.One’s physical health.
(　　)22.What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to
A.The kite.
B.Kite surfing.
C.Kite flying.
D.The art of kites.
(　　)23.Which of the following sports can be the most risky
A.Kite surfing.
B.Coasteering.
C.Sky diving.
D.Mountain biking.
语篇导读:本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了四项年轻人喜欢的极限运动:风筝冲浪、海岸攀岩、空中跳伞和山地骑行。虽然这些运动都具有一定的危险性,但仍然对年轻人充满了吸引力。
答案及剖析:
21.B　细节理解题。根据第一段内容及下文的小标题可知,文章介绍了四项年轻人喜欢的极限运动,这四项极限运动可以考验一个人的勇气。故选B。
22.A　代词指代题。根据画线词前面的“yet the art of kite flying dates back to hundreds of years ago in China”可知,放风筝的技艺可以追溯到几百年前的中国;画线词前面的when引导的是定语从句,即在几百年前,风筝是一种简单的飞行器。故画线词it指代的是“风筝”。故选A。
23.C　推理判断题。根据Sky Diving部分的内容可知,传统意义上的跳伞好像风险不高,但现在的空中跳伞指的是从飞机上跳下来,在打开降落伞前,你会心跳加速,飞速向地面坠落,因此这要比传统跳伞更危险。由此可知,空中跳伞是风险最高的运动。故选C。
B
I have been playing basketball since I was in the 6th grade.I first started out in the summer before the 6th grade when I played for the Park District Travelling Basketball Team.This is where I first learnt how to play basketball and found out I wasn’t very good at it.This is the main reason why I liked football more than basketball—I was naturally good at football and didn’t have to work as hard.But because of the way I was brought up—always being encouraged to never give up,I kept at it and kept working on my basketball skills so I could be good enough to play for my high school basketball team.I played for my high school basketball team during my junior and senior years of high school.
During those years in high school,I really began to practise hard on improving my basketball skills.My main goal was to get an athletics scholarship to college and get a free education.I indeed achieved this goal and was awarded a two-year basketball scholarship at Parkland Junior College. During those two years,I improved a lot in basketball thanks to my hard work on enhancing my skills.
After having two good seasons on and off the court at Parkland,I graduated.The final step I had in mind was to come to Northern Illinois University and make the basketball team.Many people doubted me and said I wasn’t good enough to make the team,but instead of listening to them,giving up or stopping working hard,I worked harder than ever before over the summer.And all the hard work paid off.I am now a member of the Northern Illinois University Basketball Team.

D.The author’s family.
(　　)26.How did the author develop the passage
A.By making comparisons.
B.By giving examples.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By describing the changes in space order.
(　　)27.What can we learn from the author’s story
A.Well begun,half done.
B.Every coin has two sides.
C.Detail is the key to success.
D.Where there is a will,there is a way.
语篇导读:本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过坚持不懈地进行篮球训练,一步步实现个人梦想的经历。
答案及剖析:
24.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I indeed achieved this goal and was awarded a two-year basketball scholarship at Parkland Junior College.”和第三段第一句可知,作者获得了帕克兰初级学院一项两年的篮球奖学金,并在打了两年篮球后毕业了。故选B。
25.A　代词指代题。根据画线词所在句可知,很多人怀疑作者的能力,说他还不够资格加入这个篮球队。由此可推知,them指的是“怀疑作者能力的人”。故选A。
26.C　推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者按时间顺序讲述了自己从小学六年级开始便一直努力打篮球,一步步实现个人梦想的经历。故选C。
27.D　推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者通过坚持不懈地进行篮球训练,一步步实现了自己的奋斗目标,这告诉了我们“有志者事竟成”的道理。故选D。
C
Proper nutrition is crucial for improving athletic performance,supporting recovery,and overall health.Now,a new study from the University of South Australia (UniSA) reveals that it is also key to reducing the risk of injury,especially for females.
A systematic review of nearly 6,000 adult distance runners explored the link between diet and exercise-related injuries.It found that female runners with lower energy and fat intakes faced higher injury risks.These women consumed 450 fewer calories and 20g less fat daily than their uninjured peers (同龄人).Additionally,the study found that a low-fibre diet increased the likelihood of bone stress injuries in runners of both sexes.Injured runners consumed three grams less fibre per day than those who remained injury-free.Interestingly,runners’ intakes of protein, alcohol,and calcium (钙) did not influence injury risk.
Sports dietitian and UniSA researcher,Erin Colebatch,emphasises that nutrition plays a crucial role in reducing injury risk.“Distance running is a popular activity for many people,helping them stay healthy.Yet about 50% of adult runners sustain running-related injuries,” Colebatch says. “Nutrition is key to improving athletic performance,providing the energy,recovery support,and injury prevention required for maintaining both endurance and overall health.Many long-distance runners underestimate their energy needs.When they don’t fuel their bodies properly,they increase their injury risk.Recognising the impact of diet on injury risk helps reduce it.”
Senior researcher,UniSA’s Dr Alison Hill,adds that clinicians need to support female runners to achieve sufficient energy and fat intakes while guiding all runners to improve their fibre consumption.“When runners don’t consume enough energy,their bodies’ needs go unmet,which over time can lead to issues like loss of lean body mass,tiredness,and bone breaks,” Dr Hill says.“While this research offers valuable insights for runners of all levels,additional studies are necessary to explore how these findings apply to a broader range of athletic abilities.”
(　　)28.What does the study find according to Paragraph 2
A.Protein impacts injury possibility.
B.Calcium lessens injury probability.
C.Limited energy harms male runners.
D.Low fat intake is risky for female runners.
(　　)29.What can we infer about running with less energy from Erin Colebatch’s words
A.It boosts athletic performance.
B.It raises the injury likelihood.
C.It improves energy recovery.
D.It reduces diet-injury link.
(　　)30.What will the follow-up study focus on
A.Supporting female runners’ diets.
B.Guiding ways of fibre consumption.
C.Increasing energy intake levels.
D.Applying findings to more athletes.
(　　)31.Which column of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from
A.Entertainment. B.Fashion.
C.Wellness. D.Culture.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了南澳大利亚大学的一项新研究。它揭示了合理营养对降低运动损伤风险的重要性,尤其是对女性运动员的影响,并探讨了该研究发现的具体内容以及后续研究方向。
答案及剖析:
28.D　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知,研究发现,能量和脂肪摄入量较低的女性跑步者受伤风险更高,她们每天比未受伤的同龄人少摄入450卡路里和20克脂肪。由此可知,低脂肪摄入量对女性跑步者构成风险。故选D。
29.B　推理判断题。根据第三段Erin Colebatch的话“When they don’t fuel their bodies properly,they increase their injury risk.”可以推断,能量不足会增加跑步者受伤的可能性。
故选B。
30.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句Dr Alison Hill所说的话可知,尽管这项研究为各个水平的跑步者提供了有价值的见解,但仍需进一步研究来探索这些发现如何应用于更广泛的运动能力群体。由此可知,后续研究将关注如何将这些发现应用于更多运动员。故选D。
31.C　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,适当的营养对于提升运动表现、促进恢复以及整体健康至关重要。结合全文内容可知,本文主要讨论营养与运动损伤风险的关系,属于健康与运动科学范畴。故选C。
D
A lot of people play sports,but very few people become sports professionals.If sports aren’t going to be your future,then why should you play them Why should you train every day Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛) the next day Wouldn’t it be better to forget about sports and focus only on your studies
There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports.First of all,sports are a great way to exercise.Exercising keeps you healthy and strong.It also helps you stay in a good state.When you exercise,your body produces endorphins (内啡肽).Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.
Sports are important for everyone,but they are especially important for young people.Sports teach young people about winning and losing.Also,they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team.For example,when you play football,you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together.Sports teach young people to respect their coaches,teammates, and people they fight against as well.
Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble.If a young person plays sports,he or she is less likely to get into trouble.This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard,they might succeed.
Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses.These days,a lot of people spend too much time watching television and surfing the Internet.When you play sports,you go outside and exercise in the sun.You take in fresh air.All of these things are important.
You’re probably not going to become a sports professional,but that doesn’t matter.Sports will help you become a better and happier person.Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy.Here is another good reason to play sports: sports are fun.
(　　)32.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To make a survey.
C.To share knowledge of sports.
D.To ask for advice.
(　　)33.What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 4
A.Reports. B.Sports.
C.Problems. D.Rules.
(　　)34.In the writer’s opinion,what can sports bring people
A.Happiness,health,friendship and fun.
B.Fashion,health,friendship and fun.
C.Happiness,wealth,health and courage.
D.Health,courage,friendship and value.
(　　)35.What’s the best title for this passage
A.Sports Are Very Interesting
B.Sports Teach People Rules
C.Sports Make People Go Outside
D.Sports Are Good for Everyone
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章从多个角度阐述了运动对人们的好处,包括保持健康、培养团队精神、学会尊重和遵守规则,以及带来快乐和友谊等。
答案及剖析:
32.A　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“If sports aren’t going to be your future,then ... your studies ”可知,第一段通过提出一系列问题,引出文章要讨论的主题,即尽管大多数人不会成为职业运动员,但参与运动仍然有很多好处。因此,第一段的目的是引入话题。故选A。
33.B　代词指代题。根据第四段中的“Many reports say that ... teach people about rules.”可知,此处探讨了运动所带来的好处,即让青少年远离麻烦,并且懂得规则。同时根据画线词所在的句子“They also teach people that if they work hard,they might succeed.”可知,这里的They指代的是前文提到的sports,即运动也教会人们如果努力工作,就可能会成功,与前文的主语对象保持一致。故选B。
34.A　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Sports will help you become ... reason to play sports: sports are fun.”可知,体育运动能帮助你变成一个更好、更快乐的人。体育运动能帮助你结交朋友并保持健康。还有另一个理由让你去参加体育运动:体育运动很有趣。由此可知,作者认为运动可以带来快乐、健康、友谊和乐趣。故选A。
35.D　标题归纳题。根据文章的主要内容可知,文章从多个角度阐述了运动对人们的好处,包括保持健康、培养团队精神、学会尊重和遵守规则,以及带来快乐和友谊等。文章强调,尽管大多数人不会成为职业运动员,但运动对每个人都是有益的。因此,D项最能概括文章的主旨大意,适合作为文章标题。故选D。

阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I’m a hiker—“born to hike”.It does my heart and soul good to take a pack and head out on a trail,especially when I’m alone and can let my mind wander where it will.The experience of hiking is unique,research suggests,conveying benefits beyond what you get from typical exercise. 36.　　
Hiking keeps your mind sharper than many other forms of exercise.As a professional writer, although I’m busy with my work,I often spare some time to hike.37.　　
38.　　　 Exercise in general can be a good way to decrease stress.But what sets hiking apart from other forms of exercise is that it’s done outdoors in a natural setting.It can happen almost anywhere and give you the happiness that you can take from nature.
Hiking can increase our creativity.I’m sure I’m not alone in finding that walks in nature let my mind wander freely in creative directions.39.　　　 Sometimes,ideas relevant to music come up from unconscious places when I’m not deliberately thinking.
Hiking helps strengthen a positive relationship with the natural world.Besides being good for us,hiking may also help the world around us.After all,if we stick to walking and covering longer distances,we could use cars less and reduce our carbon footprint.
40.　　　 For example,it increases our connection to nature.As one study suggests,when we have a personal connection to nature,we are more likely to want to protect it.That means experiences in nature—like hiking—can be beneficial to both people and the Earth.
So,grab a water bottle,a backpack ... and head out on the trail.You won’t be sorry you did.
A.Here is what science is saying about the benefits of hiking.
B.Personally,it’s easy to hit upon some creative ideas while at home alone.
C.It not only makes me feel good but also keeps my brain in tiptop shape.
D.Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy.
E.As a matter of fact,I have written many of my songs while hiking on a trail.
F.Beyond that,hiking benefits our planet indirectly.
G.This all goes to show that hiking may be one of the best ways to move your body.

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Sam and I were first married,we lived in a quiet neighbourhood.Across the street,there was a big house with a six-foot high hedge (树篱) that blocked all but a small path to its yard.It was clear that our neighbours wanted privacy (隐私) and weren’t interested in any “neighbourly” behaviour.
Sam had discovered that a brother and a sister lived in the house.The house belonged to the sister,and the brother helped around the house with things like getting the mail and setting the rubbish cans out on the day when the rubbish-collecting truck would come.The sister and the brother were both very old.And we considered them unfriendly because they had called the police when Sam played music with his band in our yard one afternoon.
Not realising it was we who were in the wrong,we thought our neighbours caused trouble to our already difficult life.At the time,Sam and I were quite short of money.We felt sad when Christmas was around the corner.It was our first Christmas as a married couple,and we didn’t have much money to celebrate it.There were no gifts or parties.We didn’t even have any special holiday treats to share at home.
“I wish we could have enough good stuff on Christmas Day.When I was a kid,my family would always have cheese,meat,cookies,candies,etc.It always felt like a feast (盛宴) to me as a kid,” I told Sam.I understood that Christmas wasn’t all about nice things,but it just didn’t feel like Christmas with only a few foods.Sam seemed to feel the same way.“Things will get a lot better next year,” he said,trying to be cheerful.
Three weeks before Christmas,we got to know our “unfriendly” neighbour,the brother,had a bad disease and passed away.One morning after that,we noticed our neighbour—the tiny sister Mary—trying with all her strength to pull her rubbish cans to the roadside alone.She looked so weak and lonely.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Sam couldn’t stand it and rushed to her,saying,“May I help you ”
Paragraph 2:
When we answered the door,there was nobody but a big bag of goods.

Sam couldn’t stand it and rushed to her,saying,“May I help you ” The woman looked up in surprise,and thankfully accepted the offer.After a chat,we were surprised to find that she was actually very nice.She just liked to keep to herself.We felt ashamed of judging others carelessly.From that day on,Sam helped take her rubbish cans out every week.Soon it was Christmas Eve.With nothing special to celebrate,Sam and I just sat sadly in our living room,waiting for a boring Christmas Day.All of a sudden,there was an unexpected knock at our door.
When we answered the door,there was nobody but a big bag of goods.We opened the bag,finding cookies,fresh fruit,cheese,and even sausages.Everything looked delicious.It was the feast that I had been dreaming about!A note inside the bag read,“Merry Christmas!From Mary.” It seemed that our neighbour had sent us the perfect Christmas gift!We were filled with surprise and warmth.Thinking that Mary might feel alone during the holiday,we invited her to our house to enjoy a meal together.We were glad to know that it was the care and love for each other that brought us together.

A
Dangerous as they are,extreme sports remain appealing among many young people! Camp Extreme is the perfect test of your heart.
Kite Surfing
It’s an exciting mixture of kites,boards and waves.The idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like a new challenge:yet the art of kite flying dates back to hundreds of years ago in China when it was a simple flying machine.
Catch a wind and you’re moving up,down and across the surf.“It’s always exciting.You’d jump 5 feet or 35 feet.You never know if you’re going to go up in the air,and your heart is just going boom,boom,boom.”
Coasteering
It is by far the best activity and an event that everyone is still talking about.This is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking your route. You climb,dive and swim from one place to another.With coasteering,you don’t have to be able to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy (浮力) aid will keep you floating when you are in the water.
Sky Diving
Traditional parachuting (跳伞) doesn’t sound risky enough.So now sky diving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move fast towards the Earth before you open your parachute at the last moment.
Mountain Biking
It’s been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain.Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road,often over rough land,using specially adapted mountain bikes.Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes,but include features designed to improve strength and performance in rough areas.
(　　)21.What are all the four extreme sports mainly intended to test
A.One’s heart beat.
B.One’s courage.
C.One’s potential strength.
D.One’s physical health.
(　　)22.What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to
A.The kite.
B.Kite surfing.
C.Kite flying.
D.The art of kites.
(　　)23.Which of the following sports can be the most risky
A.Kite surfing.
B.Coasteering.
C.Sky diving.
D.Mountain biking.
B
I have been playing basketball since I was in the 6th grade.I first started out in the summer before the 6th grade when I played for the Park District Travelling Basketball Team.This is where I first learnt how to play basketball and found out I wasn’t very good at it.This is the main reason why I liked football more than basketball—I was naturally good at football and didn’t have to work as hard.But because of the way I was brought up—always being encouraged to never give up,I kept at it and kept working on my basketball skills so I could be good enough to play for my high school basketball team.I played for my high school basketball team during my junior and senior years of high school.
During those years in high school,I really began to practise hard on improving my basketball skills.My main goal was to get an athletics scholarship to college and get a free education.I indeed achieved this goal and was awarded a two-year basketball scholarship at Parkland Junior College. During those two years,I improved a lot in basketball thanks to my hard work on enhancing my skills.
After having two good seasons on and off the court at Parkland,I graduated.The final step I had in mind was to come to Northern Illinois University and make the basketball team.Many people doubted me and said I wasn’t good enough to make the team,but instead of listening to them,giving up or stopping working hard,I worked harder than ever before over the summer.And all the hard work paid off.I am now a member of the Northern Illinois University Basketball Team.
(　　)24.What do we know about the author
A.He became what many people had expected him to be.
B.He played for Parkland Junior College Basketball Team for two years.

(　　)26.How did the author develop the passage
A.By making comparisons.
B.By giving examples.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By describing the changes in space order.
(　　)27.What can we learn from the author’s story

C.Detail is the key to success.
D.Where there is a will,there is a way.

Proper nutrition is crucial for improving athletic performance,supporting recovery,and overall health.Now,a new study from the University of South Australia (UniSA) reveals that it is also key to reducing the risk of injury,especially for females.
A systematic review of nearly 6,000 adult distance runners explored the link between diet and exercise-related injuries.It found that female runners with lower energy and fat intakes faced higher injury risks.These women consumed 450 fewer calories and 20g less fat daily than their uninjured peers (同龄人).Additionally,the study found that a low-fibre diet increased the likelihood of bone stress injuries in runners of both sexes.Injured runners consumed three grams less fibre per day than those who remained injury-free.Interestingly,runners’ intakes of protein, alcohol,and calcium (钙) did not influence injury risk.
Sports dietitian and UniSA researcher,Erin Colebatch,emphasises that nutrition plays a crucial role in reducing injury risk.“Distance running is a popular activity for many people,helping them stay healthy.Yet about 50% of adult runners sustain running-related injuries,” Colebatch says. “Nutrition is key to improving athletic performance,providing the energy,recovery support,and injury prevention required for maintaining both endurance and overall health.Many long-distance runners underestimate their energy needs.When they don’t fuel their bodies properly,they increase their injury risk.Recognising the impact of diet on injury risk helps reduce it.”
Senior researcher,UniSA’s Dr Alison Hill,adds that clinicians need to support female runners to achieve sufficient energy and fat intakes while guiding all runners to improve their fibre consumption.“When runners don’t consume enough energy,their bodies’ needs go unmet,which over time can lead to issues like loss of lean body mass,tiredness,and bone breaks,” Dr Hill says.“While this research offers valuable insights for runners of all levels,additional studies are necessary to explore how these findings apply to a broader range of athletic abilities.”
(　　)28.What does the study find according to Paragraph 2
A.Protein impacts injury possibility.
B.Calcium lessens injury probability.
C.Limited energy harms male runners.
D.Low fat intake is risky for female runners.
(　　)29.What can we infer about running with less energy from Erin Colebatch’s words
A.It boosts athletic performance.
B.It raises the injury likelihood.
C.It improves energy recovery.
D.It reduces diet-injury link.
(　　)30.What will the follow-up study focus on
A.Supporting female runners’ diets.
B.Guiding ways of fibre consumption.
C.Increasing energy intake levels.
D.Applying findings to more athletes.
(　　)31.Which column of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from
A.Entertainment. B.Fashion.
C.Wellness. D.Culture.
D
A lot of people play sports,but very few people become sports professionals.If sports aren’t going to be your future,then why should you play them Why should you train every day Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛) the next day Wouldn’t it be better to forget about sports and focus only on your studies
There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports.First of all,sports are a great way to exercise.Exercising keeps you healthy and strong.It also helps you stay in a good state.When you exercise,your body produces endorphins (内啡肽).Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.
Sports are important for everyone,but they are especially important for young people.Sports teach young people about winning and losing.Also,they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team.For example,when you play football,you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together.Sports teach young people to respect their coaches,teammates, and people they fight against as well.
Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble.If a young person plays sports,he or she is less likely to get into trouble.This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard,they might succeed.
Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses.These days,a lot of people spend too much time watching television and surfing the Internet.When you play sports,you go outside and exercise in the sun.You take in fresh air.All of these things are important.
You’re probably not going to become a sports professional,but that doesn’t matter.Sports will help you become a better and happier person.Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy.Here is another good reason to play sports: sports are fun.
(　　)32.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To make a survey.
C.To share knowledge of sports.
D.To ask for advice.
(　　)33.What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 4
A.Reports. B.Sports.
C.Problems. D.Rules.
(　　)34.In the writer’s opinion,what can sports bring people
A.Happiness,health,friendship and fun.
B.Fashion,health,friendship and fun.
C.Happiness,wealth,health and courage.
D.Health,courage,friendship and value.
(　　)35.What’s the best title for this passage
A.Sports Are Very Interesting
B.Sports Teach People Rules
C.Sports Make People Go Outside
D.Sports Are Good for Everyone

I’m a hiker—“born to hike”.It does my heart and soul good to take a pack and head out on a trail,especially when I’m alone and can let my mind wander where it will.The experience of hiking is unique,research suggests,conveying benefits beyond what you get from typical exercise. 36.　　
Hiking keeps your mind sharper than many other forms of exercise.As a professional writer, although I’m busy with my work,I often spare some time to hike.37.　　
38.　　　 Exercise in general can be a good way to decrease stress.But what sets hiking apart from other forms of exercise is that it’s done outdoors in a natural setting.It can happen almost anywhere and give you the happiness that you can take from nature.
Hiking can increase our creativity.I’m sure I’m not alone in finding that walks in nature let my mind wander freely in creative directions.39.　　　 Sometimes,ideas relevant to music come up from unconscious places when I’m not deliberately thinking.
Hiking helps strengthen a positive relationship with the natural world.Besides being good for us,hiking may also help the world around us.After all,if we stick to walking and covering longer distances,we could use cars less and reduce our carbon footprint.
40.　　　 For example,it increases our connection to nature.As one study suggests,when we have a personal connection to nature,we are more likely to want to protect it.That means experiences in nature—like hiking—can be beneficial to both people and the Earth.
So,grab a water bottle,a backpack ... and head out on the trail.You won’t be sorry you did.
A.Here is what science is saying about the benefits of hiking.
B.Personally,it’s easy to hit upon some creative ideas while at home alone.
C.It not only makes me feel good but also keeps my brain in tiptop shape.
D.Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy.
E.As a matter of fact,I have written many of my songs while hiking on a trail.
F.Beyond that,hiking benefits our planet indirectly.
G.This all goes to show that hiking may be one of the best ways to move your body.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Sam and I were first married,we lived in a quiet neighbourhood.Across the street,there was a big house with a six-foot high hedge (树篱) that blocked all but a small path to its yard.It was clear that our neighbours wanted privacy (隐私) and weren’t interested in any “neighbourly” behaviour.
Sam had discovered that a brother and a sister lived in the house.The house belonged to the sister,and the brother helped around the house with things like getting the mail and setting the rubbish cans out on the day when the rubbish-collecting truck would come.The sister and the brother were both very old.And we considered them unfriendly because they had called the police when Sam played music with his band in our yard one afternoon.
Not realising it was we who were in the wrong,we thought our neighbours caused trouble to our already difficult life.At the time,Sam and I were quite short of money.We felt sad when Christmas was around the corner.It was our first Christmas as a married couple,and we didn’t have much money to celebrate it.There were no gifts or parties.We didn’t even have any special holiday treats to share at home.
“I wish we could have enough good stuff on Christmas Day.When I was a kid,my family would always have cheese,meat,cookies,candies,etc.It always felt like a feast (盛宴) to me as a kid,” I told Sam.I understood that Christmas wasn’t all about nice things,but it just didn’t feel like Christmas with only a few foods.Sam seemed to feel the same way.“Things will get a lot better next year,” he said,trying to be cheerful.
Three weeks before Christmas,we got to know our “unfriendly” neighbour,the brother,had a bad disease and passed away.One morning after that,we noticed our neighbour—the tiny sister Mary—trying with all her strength to pull her rubbish cans to the roadside alone.She looked so weak and lonely.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Sam couldn’t stand it and rushed to her,saying,“May I help you ”
Paragraph 2:
When we answered the door,there was nobody but a big bag of goods.
