The 36-year-old Jia Juntingxian was born in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, and was blind in both eyes due to congenital eye disease. She showed athletic talent since childhood and was selected as a track and field athlete by Jiangxi Disabled Persons’ Federation.
Although she can’t see the world, Jia breaks through the “immediate” obstacles again and again while running, letting the world see her. In her sports career, Jia has won 43 national and world-class sports medals. Among them, in 2016, she broke the world record and stood on the podium(领奖台)of the women’s T11-T13 4×100-meter relay event at the Rio Paralympics.
In 2017, Jia retired and chose to become a teacher at a special education school. Just a year ago, she found out that two young brothers, with visual impairments(视觉障碍), wanted to be an athlete. They had never attended a special education school and never achieved their athletic dream. Jia could only help them attend a local special education school. The experience made her realize that these children living in remote areas may have little knowledge of special education. Even she didn’t know about such schools until late into her education. As a result, she decided to become more involved with special education.
Changing from a Paralympic competitor to a special education teacher, Jia said that there is no discomfort, “Because I understand the students as well as myself and knows the inconveniences and difficulties of the children. I hope that every child is like a different seed. Through hard study, they can bravely realize their own life.”
Jia also has paid close attention to the rights and interests of disabled people. In 2021, Jia proposed the construction of audible traffic signals for blind people. Her advice to local authorities on dog management has resulted in more indoor public places allowing the disabled to enter with their assistance dogs. Jia and her husband founded a massage(按摩)shop and currently employ 16 visually impaired people, with an average monthly salary of 3500 yuan per person.
Jia always believes that the world is a circle, as long as the love of others is constantly passed on, the whole society will be full of love!

Banff National Park is home to an amazing wildlife population. But the busy Trans Canada Highway that cuts through the park is a hazard to the lovely animals. To address the problem, Banff first put-up wildlife fencing on either side of the highway to discourage animals from entering the busy road. Then, since 1996, they’ve opened six wildlife overpasses and 38 underpasses to help the animals cross the highway in safety. I was fortunate to visit Banff’s Red Earth Overpass with Trevor Kinley, the project manager with Parks Canada. He told me that so far, they have documented 10, 000 safe animal crossings on this overpass alone. “ Some animals have learned how to use the crossings much more quickly than others. Black bears are the fastest learners, followed by deer. Wolves and lions take the longest to work out how to use them, ” Kinley said, laughing. “ But those animals that are slower to adapt are usually more capable and determined at figuring out the safest way to cross those overpasses and underpasses. ”
There is some criticism (批评) that channeling so much wildlife into a few bridges and tunnels is like making a trap for the animals, offering big animals an easy meal on either side. “ But research has shown that this is not the case, ” Kinley assured me. “ There are no more killings around the crossings than there are anywhere else in the park. ”
Walking over the Trans Canada and then walking underneath through one of the tunnels, I was amazed to see the fresh tracks of black bears, wolves, deer and many kinds of smaller animals. Somehow, all these animal footprints made me so happy, knowing that all this wildlife was passing safely under and over the longest road in Canada.
Hopefully, the success of the wildlife crossings in Banff will continue to inspire similar solutions around the world, where human pressure on wildlife continues to grow.
8. Which of the following best explains “ hazard ” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Shelter. B. Message. C. Answer. D. Danger.
9. What does Trevor Kinley say about those wolves and lions
A. They are stupid animals. B. They are cautious learners.
C. They are very dangerous. D. They are good at adapting.
10. What are the critics worried about
A. There are too many bridges and tunnels. B. Many animals will not use the crossings.
C. More killings might happen at the crossings. D. Illegal hunting might be encouraged in the park.
11. How does the author feel at the end of the visit
A. Concerned. B. Disappointed. C. Shocked. D. Delighted.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。一条横贯Banff国家公园的马路给动物自由迁徙带来了困难。为了给它们提供安全的迁徙途径，公园管理处在沿途修建了一些空中及地下通道。本文主要讲述了作者参观这些通道时的见闻。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后“To address the problem, Banff first put-up wildlife fencing on either side of the highway to discourage animals from entering the busy road. Then, since 1996, they’ve opened six wildlife overpasses and 38 underpasses to help the animals cross the highway in safety. (为了解决这个问题，班夫首先在高速公路两边设置了野生动物围栏，阻止动物进入繁忙的道路。自1996年以来，他们已经开放了6个野生动物天桥和38个地下通道，以帮助动物安全通过公路。)”可推断，hazard与Danger是同义词。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“‘But those animals that are slower to adapt are usually more capable and determined at figuring out the safest way to cross those overpasses and underpasses. (但那些适应速度较慢的动物通常更有能力，也更有决心找出最安全的方式穿越天桥和地下通道。)”可推断，Trevor Kinley认为狼和狮子是因为太谨慎才适应得比较慢，故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“There is some criticism (批评) that channeling so much wildlife into a few bridges and tunnels is like making a trap for the animals, offering big animals an easy meal on either side.(有人批评说，把这么多野生动物引入几座桥和几条隧道，就像给动物设了陷阱，给大型动物提供了方便的食物。)” 可知，批评者担心的是动物集中穿过这么几个通道时，许多弱小的动物可能会沦为其他动物的盘中餐。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Somehow, all these animal footprints made me so happy,(不知怎的，这些动物脚印让我很开心。)” 可知作者在最后是很开心的，故选D项。
D
Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) said they have completed the most detailed virtual reality (VR) map of the universe ever created. The map permits users to “travel through space and time”. With the help of VR headsets, users can visit places in the universe virtually. The software program is called the Virtual Reality Universe Project, or VIRUP.
The researchers said they combined the largest data set of information about the universe to create the 3D experience.People can see the virtual universe through VR equipment or with 3D glasses in a theater. Jean-Paul Kneib, the director of EPFL’ s astrophysics laboratory (天体物理学实验室) , said that one of the best parts of the project was putting together parts of the data set “into one framework”. “You can see the universe at different scales一nearby us, around the Earth,around the solar system, at the Milky Way level,” Kneib said.
VIRUP produces images that can appear as close as one meter or seemingly at an infinite (无限的) distance. It aims to get many kinds of visitors. This includes both scientists looking to get a virtual picture of the data they collect and people seeking a new way to explore the universe. There are different versions of the software. A smaller version is aimed at the public and a larger one is meant for scientists or astronomy experts.
The project combines information from eight databases. It includes at least 4,500 known exoplanets (外星行星) ,tens of millions of galaxies (星系) and hundreds of millions of space objects. More than 1.5 billion light producing objects from the Milky Way alone are included. The researchers expect to continually add data, meaning the virtual experience will keep getting better with time. Future databases could include space rocks called asteroids in our solar system or farther objects in our galaxy.
Yves Revaz, an astrophysicist of the EPFL, called the system “a very efficient way of visiting all the different scales that compose our universe.” Revaz added: “A very important part of this project is that it’s a first step toward treating much larger data sets which are coming.”
12. What can people do through the software program
A. Visit the Milky Way for real.
B. Travel to the past through time.
C. View the universe with VR equipment.
D. Explore the formation of the solar system.
13. What do we know about VIRUP from paragraph 3
A. It allows users to download 3D images.
B. It combines different databases into a whole.
C. It is accessible to both astronomy experts and common people.
D. It guides scientists to adjust the distance for detecting objects.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The limitations of the project. B. The signifcance of the project.
C. The different versions of the project. D. The huge data source of the project.
15. What is Yves Revaz’s attitude towards VIRUP
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“The project combines information from eight databases. It includes at least 4,500 known exoplanets (外星行星) ,tens of millions of galaxies(星系) and hundreds of millions of space objects. More than 1.5 billion light producing objects from the Milky Way alone are included. The researchers expect to continually add data, meaning the virtual experience will keep getting better with time. Future databases could include space rocks called asteroids in our solar system or farther objects in our galaxy.(该项目结合了来自八个数据库的信息。它包括至少4500颗已知的系外行星，数千万个星系和数亿个太空物体。其中包括来自银河系的超过15亿个发光物体。研究人员希望不断增加数据，这意味着虚拟体验将随着时间的推移而变得越来越好。未来的数据库可能包括太阳系中被称为小行星的太空岩石或银河系中更远的物体。)”可知，第四段主要介绍了该项目庞大的数据库来源。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yves Revaz, an astrophysicist of the EPFL, called the system “a very efficient way of visiting all the different scales that compose our universe.” Revaz added: “A very important part of this project is that it’s a first step toward treating much larger data sets which are coming.”(EPFL的天体物理学家Yves Revaz称该系统是“一种非常有效的方式，可以访问构成我们宇宙的所有不同尺度。”Revaz补充说：“这个项目的一个非常重要的部分是，它是处理即将到来的更大数据集的第一步。”)”可知，Yves Revaz认为该程序非常有效，也就是说他对于该程序的使用抱有积极的态度。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是八段锦，一种被认为是老年人独有的运动，最近在中国的年轻人中很受欢迎。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：八段锦，一种被认为是老年人独有的运动，最近在中国的年轻人中很受欢迎。由recently可知，句子时态用现在完成时，主语Baduanjin是单数，因此空格处是has gained。故填has gained。
【37题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：在中国视频平台哔哩哔哩上可以找到1000多个关于八段锦的视频。空格处是谓语，视频是被找到，句子要用被动语态，can是情态动词，其后跟be done，故填be found。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：由中国体育总局制作的一段教公众做这个动作的视频已经获得了大约1000万的点击量和约6000条评论。句中谓语是has gained，空格处用非谓语动词，video和create之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填created。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：其中以大学生和重视医疗保健的年轻人居多。great是形容词，修饰名词，important的名词是importance，是不可数名词，意为“重要性”，attach great importance to是固定短语，意为“重视”，故填importance。
【40题详解】
考查不定式。句意：一位网友评论道:“我们学校要求我们做这个练习，并把视频发给了我们的体育老师。”ask sb. to do是固定短语，意为“要求某人做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to do，故填to do。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：电影明星和健身博主也在做这项运动，吸引了大量的粉丝。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，主语是整个主句的内容，因此用关系代词which引导定语从句，故填which。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：八段锦起源于宋代（420-479），已有800多年的历史。have a history of是固定短语，意为“有……的历史”，因此空格处是冠词a，故填a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：与太极拳和模仿熊、虎、猴、鹿、鸟动作的中国传统运动五禽戏相比，八段锦动作简单柔和，更适合初学者。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词短语Chinese exercise，tradition的形容词是traditional，意为“传统的”，故填traditional。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：与太极拳和模仿熊、虎、猴、鹿、鸟动作的中国传统运动五禽戏相比，八段锦动作简单柔和，更适合初学者。be suitable for是固定短语，意为“适合”，因此空格处是介词for，故填for。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：八段锦结合了身心健康，可以增强免疫力，帮助人们放松。句中谓语是can enhance...and help，空格处用非谓语动词，Baduanjin和combine之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Combining。

In the coming month of October, it was my best friend’s birthday. I and other classmates in the school had planned a day out for her.
We all decided to take her to a nearby picnic spot (地点) in the afternoon and give her a surprise party. Everybody contributed a little to the cake and snacks. After school, we took her to the picnic spot. She cut the cake and we all enjoyed the snacks. After everybody had eaten, we all decided to enjoy the boat ride.
It was a pleasant day. The lake was small but beautiful. We were all singing together and cheering up. In the clear blue water of the lake, we could see the colorful fishes swimming rapidly. There were also ducks adding to the beauty of the scene (风景).
Everybody started clapping looking at those pretty birds. Vivian also became quite excited. Just when she was trying to touch the ducks, she lost her balance. Before anyone could do anything, she fell into the lake.

The 36-year-old Jia Juntingxian was born in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, and was blind in both eyes due to congenital eye disease. She showed athletic talent since childhood and was selected as a track and field athlete by Jiangxi Disabled Persons’ Federation.
Although she can’t see the world, Jia breaks through the “immediate” obstacles again and again while running, letting the world see her. In her sports career, Jia has won 43 national and world-class sports medals. Among them, in 2016, she broke the world record and stood on the podium(领奖台)of the women’s T11-T13 4×100-meter relay event at the Rio Paralympics.
In 2017, Jia retired and chose to become a teacher at a special education school. Just a year ago, she found out that two young brothers, with visual impairments(视觉障碍), wanted to be an athlete. They had never attended a special education school and never achieved their athletic dream. Jia could only help them attend a local special education school. The experience made her realize that these children living in remote areas may have little knowledge of special education. Even she didn’t know about such schools until late into her education. As a result, she decided to become more involved with special education.
Changing from a Paralympic competitor to a special education teacher, Jia said that there is no discomfort, “Because I understand the students as well as myself and knows the inconveniences and difficulties of the children. I hope that every child is like a different seed. Through hard study, they can bravely realize their own life.”
Jia also has paid close attention to the rights and interests of disabled people. In 2021 Jia proposed the construction of audible traffic signals for blind people. Her advice to local authorities on dog management has resulted in more indoor public places allowing the disabled to enter with their assistance dogs. Jia and her husband founded a massage(按摩)shop and currently employ 16 visually impaired people, with an average monthly salary of 3500 yuan per person.
Jia always believes that the world is a circle, as long as the love of others is constantly passed on, the whole society will be full of love!

Banff National Park is home to an amazing wildlife population. But the busy Trans Canada Highway that cuts through the park is a hazard to the lovely animals. To address the problem, Banff first put-up wildlife fencing on either side of the highway to discourage animals from entering the busy road. Then, since 1996, they’ve opened six wildlife overpasses and 38 underpasses to help the animals cross the highway in safety. I was fortunate to visit Banff’s Red Earth Overpass with Trevor Kinley, the project manager with Parks Canada. He told me that so far, they have documented 10, 000 safe animal crossings on this overpass alone. “ Some animals have learned how to use the crossings much more quickly than others. Black bears are the fastest learners, followed by deer. Wolves and lions take the longest to work out how to use them, ” Kinley said, laughing. “ But those animals that are slower to adapt are usually more capable and determined at figuring out the safest way to cross those overpasses and underpasses. ”
There is some criticism (批评) that channeling so much wildlife into a few bridges and tunnels is like making a trap for the animals, offering big animals an easy meal on either side. “ But research has shown that this is not the case, ” Kinley assured me. “ There are no more killings around the crossings than there are anywhere else in the park. ”
Walking over the Trans Canada and then walking underneath through one of the tunnels, I was amazed to see the fresh tracks of black bears, wolves, deer and many kinds of smaller animals. Somehow, all these animal footprints made me so happy, knowing that all this wildlife was passing safely under and over the longest road in Canada.
Hopefully, the success of the wildlife crossings in Banff will continue to inspire similar solutions around the world, where human pressure on wildlife continues to grow.
8. Which of the following best explains “ hazard ” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Shelter. B. Message. C. Answer. D. Danger.
9. What does Trevor Kinley say about those wolves and lions
A. They are stupid animals. B. They are cautious learners.
C. They are very dangerous. D. They are good at adapting.
10. What are the critics worried about
A. There are too many bridges and tunnels. B. Many animals will not use the crossings.
C. More killings might happen at the crossings. D. Illegal hunting might be encouraged in the park.
11. How does the author feel at the end of the visit
A. Concerned. B. Disappointed. C. Shocked. D. Delighted.
D
Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) said they have completed the most detailed virtual reality (VR) map of the universe ever created. The map permits users to “travel through space and time”. With the help of VR headsets, users can visit places in the universe virtually. The software program is called the Virtual Reality Universe Project, or VIRUP.
The researchers said they combined the largest data set of information about the universe to create the 3D experience.People can see the virtual universe through VR equipment or with 3D glasses in a theater. Jean-Paul Kneib, the director of EPFL’ s astrophysics laboratory (天体物理学实验室) , said that one of the best parts of the project was putting together parts of the data set “into one framework”. “You can see the universe at different scales一nearby us, around the Earth,around the solar system, at the Milky Way level,” Kneib said.
VIRUP produces images that can appear as close as one meter or seemingly at an infinite (无限的) distance. It aims to get many kinds of visitors. This includes both scientists looking to get a virtual picture of the data they collect and people seeking a new way to explore the universe. There are different versions of the software. A smaller version is aimed at the public and a larger one is meant for scientists or astronomy experts.
The project combines information from eight databases. It includes at least 4,500 known exoplanets (外星行星) ,tens of millions of galaxies (星系) and hundreds of millions of space objects. More than 1.5 billion light producing objects from the Milky Way alone are included. The researchers expect to continually add data, meaning the virtual experience will keep getting better with time. Future databases could include space rocks called asteroids in our solar system or farther objects in our galaxy.
Yves Revaz, an astrophysicist of the EPFL, called the system “a very efficient way of visiting all the different scales that compose our universe.” Revaz added: “A very important part of this project is that it’s a first step toward treating much larger data sets which are coming.”
12. What can people do through the software program
A. Visit the Milky Way for real.
B. Travel to the past through time.
C. View the universe with VR equipment.
D. Explore the formation of the solar system.
13. What do we know about VIRUP from paragraph 3
A. It allows users to download 3D images.
B. It combines different databases into a whole.
C. It is accessible to both astronomy experts and common people.
D. It guides scientists to adjust the distance for detecting objects.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The limitations of the project. B. The signifcance of the project.
C. The different versions of the project. D. The huge data source of the project.
15. What is Yves Revaz’s attitude towards VIRUP
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful
