Recently, a new kind of tourism has sprung up in China. Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily.
Yu Yinghua in Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance is one of them. The 22-year-old started the “special forces style tourism” in March after she was attracted by such experiences of Xiaohongshu travel bloggers. “Confined (限制) to the school for almost three years due to the pandemic, I’m hungry to take trips in my spare time,” said Yu.
Her most recent trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 am, the 22-year-old visited nine local attractions. “That day, I walked almost 30,000 steps,” Yu said, “Though it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy the trip as much as day-long trips. It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to.”
Unlike Yu who traveled in nearby cities, Chen Junjun, a doctoral student at Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, CAS, likes to travel far to rid herself of academic stress. In April, the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an, Shaanxi. During her trip, she visited all the scenic sites in the city. “Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life!” said Chen.
Even so, the 24-year-old added that such tourism is not suitable for everyone. Chen said that it’s labor-consuming as visitors have to see as many sites as possible in an intensive (集中的) period. To some extent, such trips are not flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like. “Thus, abundant energy and a calm mind are necessary for special forces style tourism,” said Chen.
24.What can we infer about special forces style tourism from the text
A. It is exhausting but rewarding.
B. It is popular with all people in China.
C. It features visiting multiple scenic interests in a relaxing way.
D. It is flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like.
25. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people take to this new kind of tourism
A. It can bring relief to our stressful life.
B. It can contribute to learning more about the sites.
C. It can help save time and money while enjoying the sites better.
D. Confined for almost three years due to the pandemic, people long to take trips.
26. If you want to try special forces style tourism, you will probably _______
A. visit eight places in Beijing within one day.
B. communicate with local people in Chengdu.
C. stay in a comfortable hotel in Dali for three days.
D. visit two famous places in Chongqing within one week.
27. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. A new kind of tourism has sprung up.
B. Special forces style tourism is well-received worldwide.
C. College students like visiting scenic interests on weekends.
D. College students challenge themselves by traveling on a tight schedule.
C
Heavy traffic doesn’t stop big mammals like bears from crossing highways — nor does it keep smaller creatures from being squished (压扁) by cars. In just two years along one highway in Utah, more than 100 animals were killed in traffic accidents. In the United States, there are 21 endangered species whose survival is threatened by traffic accidents.
However, there’s one way to reduce crashes between cars and animals crossing the road: wildlife under and overpasses. Looking much like a regular overpass for cars, but decorated with native plants, they aren’t particularly noticeable unless you know what you’re looking for. The drivers may not be able to see the under crossings. But they’re helping countless species to pass the highways, from gold monkeys in Brazil to water voles in London.
Washington State is one of the latest to join in. Building its first wildlife bridge began in 2015 over Interstate 90 (1-90), which runs from Seattle to Boston. Though it’s just a bare set of arches now, with native plants to be planted next year, deer and wolves are already using it. Along with six underpasses built since 2013, these crossings are the first in a set of 20 along a 15-mile stretch of highway on I-90. These passes will allow black bears and mountain lions to pass through what was once an impenetrable road.
These wildlife crossings aren’t just about saving individual animals —they’re about species survival, too. I-90 is an economically important east-west lifeline in the state. But many of the animals mostly want to move from north to south. Those animals on the south of the highway got trapped in an island. Inbreeding (近亲繁殖) became a potential problem. Localized extinction happens if they don’t have genetic variability. The Snoqualmie overpass helps reconnect these isolated (隔绝的) populations. I-90’s underpasses are important in connecting waterways and species.
Why does the author talk about the heavy traffic in Paragraph 1
A．To show the results of wildlife protection.
B．To indicate its serious threat of over speeding.
C．To raise people’s awareness of the behavior of wildlife.
D．To introduce the following way to protect wild animals.
29. In order to save wildlife, what is suggested to do according to Paragraph 2
A．Letting drivers see highways. B．Building highway crossing for animals.
C．Decorating busy roads with native plants. D. Noticing under and overpasses while driving.
30. Why are wildlife crossings over 1-90 important for species to survive
A. Because they can protect native plants for animals.
B. Because they are economically important for the country.
C. Because they can help animals trapped in the island on the north.
D. Because they will prevent species from dying out for lacking genetic variety.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Isolated Wildlife: A Potential Problem
B．Highway Accidents: A Killer of Wild Animals
C．Wildlife Bridges: A Solution to Wildlife Protection
D．Wildlife Crossing: A Regular Overpass for Wildlife
D
There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic positivity, which has negative consequences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD．While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and accepting that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
What is emotional validation
A. Maintaining positive in hard times. B. Permitting emotional ups and downs.
C. Denying people’s negative feelings. D. Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
33. What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person
A. Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B. I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C. You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
D. I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
34. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Complicated. B. Widespread. C. Instructive. D. Essential.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Sticking to positivity is significant. B. Promoting positivity is worthwhile.
C. Expressing negativity is inappropriate. D. Admitting negativity is reasonable.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
English family names or surnames as we know today weren't widely used until the Norman conquest(征服) of 1066. Before that time there weren't enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. 36 people began adding descriptions such as "John the Baker" to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family, passed down from one generation to the next.
Occupational(职业性的) Surnames. 37 Two common English surname, Smith and Wright, are excellent examples of this. A name ending in"-man"usually suggests a trade name, as in Chapman(shopkeeper).
Descriptive Surnames. Based on a unique quality or physical characteristic of the individual, descriptive surnames often developed from nicknames. Most refer to an individual's appearance, like size, color or physical shape, for example, Little or Armstrong. 38 Goodchild or Wise are good examples of this.
Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived, and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans, many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. 39 County names in Great Britain, such as Kent and Devon, have been commonly adopted as surnames.
Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. 40
A. As the country's population grew,
B. As a person entered under one surname,
C. A rare name can tell you the family's origin.
D. This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush.
E. They may also refer to an individual's personal character.
F. Many English surnames developed from a person's job or trade.
G. Thus, many English surnames developed from the name of an actual town or county.

54、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。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward (病房) with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.

English Speech Club and Me
As the fifth anniversary of the English Speech Club approaches, I would like to express how proud I am to be a member of it.
I have benefited greatly from the club. I have learned various ways of speaking English fluently. In addition, I have learned a lot from Mr. Brown, the instructor of the club. For example, he taught me to pay attention to my body language when making a speech. More importantly, regular interaction with other members has made me more confident.
When it comes to the expectation, I do hope a wide range of activities will be organized, which will definitely appeal to more students to join us. Finally, I wish the club could have a brighter future and gain more popularity.

One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I... ” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.
