A fourth-grade star athlete has made headlines for keeping up with high schoolers. However, it’s not for the honor. The selfless student is a guide runner for a blind autistic (患自闭症的) teen who needs a helping hand on the cross-country track.
Rebel Hays, 11, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, stepped up as a guide runner for a ninth-grader, Paul Scot, when West Fork High School put out a call for volunteers. Paul, their student, wanted to compete.
As they ran together, the pair became good friends. "Paul and Rebel’s story is so much more than running," said Rebel’s mother, Lou Ann. "Paul doesn’t have many friends, so Rebel doesn’t just guide him at races. They also spend time together," she said, telling jokes. "Paul is grateful for his young guide’s direction." "Rebel directs me whether there’s a ditch (沟) or there are hills, who encourages me to run faster." Paul said.
In honor of their partnership, West Fork High School wrote a post on Facebook. Posting on Oct, 6, 2021, after a 5K race at Chile Pepper where the boys achieved a personal record of 21 minutes, school representatives explained, "Rebel Hays has been helping Paul all season long. He is a promising runner, but more importantly, he has a huge heart! Thank you, Rebel! Thank you a lot!"
According to MileSplit Arkansas, Paul said that his goal this year was to break 21 minutes; however, they missed it at Chile Pepper but achieved it at Yan Buren Pointer Classic, finishing with a time of 20: 59: 44. With the help and direction from Rebel, Paulfinished 59th out of 135 runners in the 3A boys race at the state Meet in Hot Springs in early November. Paul still has one more year of eligibility (资格) for cross-country and has now set a new goal of under 20 minutes.
24. What did Rebel do as a guide runner to help Paul
A. He competed with Paul to break records. B. He inspired Paul to make many headlines.
C. He directed Paul at different races. D. He volunteered to tell jokes to Paul.
25. Which of the following best describes Rebel
A. Creative. B. Confident. C. Ambitious. D. Enthusiastic.
26. Why did West Fork High School write a post on Facebook
A. To claim Rebel to be promising. B. To express appreciation to Rebel.
C. To draw public attention to Rebel. D. To introduce Rebel’s achievements.
27. What is Paul’s plan for the following year
A. Taking part in a 5K race at Chile Pepper. B. Directing others to finish the 3A boys race.
C. Breaking the record of twenty minutes. D. Getting the qualification for cross-country.

Solving the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster would be considered as a good deed, right On that basis, a webcam (网络摄像头) has been set up overlooking the lake. Anyone can tune in at any time. If you see something suspicious, you simply click the "snapshot" (快拍) button to submit a picture for further analysis. It is free, easy, and you can do it for as little or as long as you like, with no login or signup required. What you are doing is micro-volunteering, which offers volunteers a series of easy tasks that can be done anytime, anywhere, on their own terms.
Micro-volunteering could involve anything from retweeting a message to joining a flash mob (快闪). Volunteers don’t need to go through an application or training process, or to make any ongoing commitment. The vast majority of micro-volunteering takes place online, but it doesn’t have to. Weeding a garden in a local community center counts just as much.
The key benefit of micro-volunteering is its flexibility. People frequently cite their lack of time as the biggest barrier to volunteering. For many, micro-volunteering removes the need to worry about making long-term commitments once they start volunteering. It enables people who might lose interest in traditional ways of volunteering to participate.
To some extent, micro-volunteering is an approach that aims to help lots of people come together to make a difference. It could take a while to see its impacts. Studies, however, have shown that 65 percent of those who have micro-volunteered are still actively doing so one year later. Even though micro-volunteering cannot replace long-term commitments, it serves as complement (补充) to the more traditional methods of promoting good causes.
28. Why does the author mention the Loch Ness Monster in paragraph 1
A. To illustrate a famous monster film. B. To introduce a new way to volunteer.
C. To tell more information of the monster. D. To offer readers a series of volunteer tasks.
29. What’s the advantage of micro-volunteering
A. It’s available only online. B. Volunteers need receive training.
C. It’s flexible and time-wise. D. It needs long-term commitments.
30. What can people expect of micro-volunteering in the future
A. It could take the place of traditional volunteering.
B. It might have a great influence on the world at once.
C. It can make people have more ongoing commitments.
D. It may offer more chances for people to make a difference.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Barriers to promoting good causes B. A wonderful complement to volunteering
C. Reflections on traditional ways of volunteering D. An answer to the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster
D
How far back does your family tree go A hundred years A thousand years What about 6 to 7 million years
An ancient skull (颅骨) found in Africa suggests that the human family might be that old. Discovered in 2001 in the desert of Chad, the skull was nicknamed Toumai by scientists. Toumai is a rare find. The skull is nearly complete and it even includes a few teeth. The Toumai skull is estimated to be between 6 and 7 million years old. Scientists are debating whether the skull is linked to humans.
The finding is not without controversy. Some scientists think that Toumai is the oldest known hominid (人科), or primitive human ancestor, ever found. Others say Toumai is an ape. Most hominids that scientists are aware of lived millions of years after Toumai. The most famous one is called Lucy. She lived in Ethiopia about 3.5 million years ago. While Lucy’s face looked like the face of a chimpanzee, Toumai’s skull has both human and ape-like features. Because Toumai’s skull looks different from other hominid skulls, some scientists think Toumai represents a whole new species.
Scientists were surprised to find a human-like face on a skull as old as Toumai’s. They thought hominids turned into humans step by step over time. Scientists marked those changes on a timeline starting with a chimpanzee-like ancestor and ending with modern humans. Toumai’s human-like face and chimp-sized brain suggest that the development of hominids was not so simple. There may not be a direct line leading from Toumai to Lucy to us. Instead, the timeline might be like a tree with lots of branches. Different species in different places could have evolved human-like features at different times.
Scientists aren’t sure where exactly Toumai belongs on our family tree. Toumai could be like a great-great grandfather---or just a distant cousin. Toumai could also be one of many types of hominids who wandered Earth millions of years ago.
32. What can be inferred about the skull found in Africa
A. It is connected with humans. B. It was named after a scientist.
C. It may be the oldest chimpanzee. D. It is almost complete and unusual.
33. What does the underlined word "controversy" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Promotion. B. Cooperation. C. Argument. D. Prospect.
34. How could hominids evolve into humans according to scientists
A. They evolved in various ways. B. They developed like a tree with branches.
C. They followed a direct line from Lucy to us. D. They had similar features in different places.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Toumai is probably the primitive human ancestor.
B. A skull has an ape-like face and a human-like brain.
C. How does Toumai skull fit into the human family tree
D. How did a species evolve human-like features over time

Waking up is hard at the best of times, but on dark winter mornings it’s especially tough. Follow the following advice to make the winter wake up a little more bearable.
Wake up naturally
Admittedly, this might be tough for commuters (通勤人员), but for those who work from home or who are retired, it is a different story. 36 A 2022 survey of over 1,000 employees by sleep health website Each Night found that people who woke up naturally felt fully awake more quickly than their counterparts who used an alarm. They were also more likely to have a positive outlook.
37
Cortisol (皮质醇) --- your body’s main stress hormone-levels are higher when you wake up, giving us a natural energy boost. Save the caffeine kick until after your morning walk you’re more likely to need it.
See the light
Don’t be tempted to lie in bed in the morning, but get out of the house and into the sunlight as soon as possible after waking up. 38 The fresh air, physical exercise and the mood boost you get from nature will enhance your sense of wellbeing.
Get moving—but gently
39 It is because our body stiffens up as we sleep. Then a few stretches matter after waking. Move for 30 minutes first to get blood flowing round your body and your muscles stretching safely.
Have a cold shower
It’s widely believed that dousing yourself with chilly water on a chilly day might not be that appealing, but it could really liven you up in the morning. Let it run cold for a minute and then take the rest of your shower at your usual toasty temperature, or start warm and turn the water to cold at the end. Many people think it’s simply crazy to do this. 40
A. Delay your coffee.
B. Quit coffee and work out.
C. They may have difficulty waking up naturally.
D. Retiring the alarm clock helps make a better start to the day.
E. Loosening up in the morning helps get you ready for the day ahead.
F. This will help you feel alert during the day and promote sleepiness at bedtime.
G. In all honesty, you have to put some effort into your morning prep, but it’s worth it.

Teaching is a constant process of upgrade, where every moment you learn new things, not only as a teacher, but also as a human being.
At the start of my career, I believe I should come across to my students as a "no-nonsense" type of person. My entire focus was towards maintaining classroom discipline (纪律). It was tough. Most of my Indian students were from a rural background. They would intentionally use vocabulary that sounded Greek to me. They did all in their power to make me feel like a fish out of water.
My last lecture ended at 3: 30 in the afternoon. Some of the students approached me begging to let them leave 15 minutes early as they had a bus to catch. My permission resulted in a stir and restlessness as half of the class stood up to leave. They all had buses to catch! Unable to distinguish between the genuine ones and those faking it, I put a ban on anybody leaving before time.
One evening, I spotted three boys from my last class at the bus stop. I called out, "You constantly blame me for not allowing you to leave early because you have a bus to catch and here you are still hanging around at 5 pm!" One of the boys replied respectfully and humbly, "Madam, the bus leaves at 3: 30. If we leave the class at 3: 15, we are able to make it. In case we miss it, the next bus to our village comes after two hours. Now we are waiting for it. At this hour, the bus will be overloaded and we will not even get a seat."
注意: 1. 续写词数应为 80 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I invited them to get into my car.

Many people know about Lake Baikal from textbooks or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lake Baikal. But in recent years, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been paid much attention to because of an extreme sport. Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lake’s extraordinary beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. The 41.84-kilometer journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and very hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake. Known as the "blue eye of Siberia", the lake has clear water. Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she was jogging through space. The landscape might be beautiful but it is a severe test. However, runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to challenge themselves.
When runners start their marathon, they don’t have cars around them and they don’t have noise around. They are alone on Baikal. All they need to do is defeat themselves.
