The marathon runner, born in 1984 in Kenya, has succeeded in running a 42 - kilometer marathon in under two hours, which was considered physically impossible. He made the breakthrough in 2019. Now he has won the most male World Marathon Major races, nine in total.
Kipchoge loved running during his childhood. He ran to school, covering 3.2 km every day. Kipchoge also cycled to the local market, taking several gallons of milk that his family would sell. When he was a teenager, thanks to his neighbor and former Olympic athlete, Sang, Kipchoge took on professional(专业的)running. Sang became his coach and lifelong friend. With the help of Sang, Kipchoge’s training became more and more effective.
Kipchoge has talent. But he is also a “true believer” fighting against himself, always ready to push his own limits. In 2016, at the Rio Olympics, Kipchoge won the gold medal for the marathon with a time of 2:08:44. Only two years later, in 2018, he finished the Berlin Marathon in a time of 2:01:39. The result was not just the fastest Berlin marathon run in history, but also the fastest marathon ever run at the time.
Still, Kipchoge didn’t stop. He believed he could go on challenging where no other human had succeeded. At the age of 35, with good preparations, he finished the race in 1:59:40.20, breaking the two -hour limit. He set the new record and proved to the world that no human is limited.
Though Kipchoge has won so much, he didn’t stop running. In 2021, he won the gold medal for Tokyo Olympics male marathon with a time of 2:08:38 and in 2022, the Berlin Marathon 2:01:09.
Apart from his talent as well as working hard, his shoes are also helpful during his running.It is a pair of special ones with a special kind of foam(海绵式橡胶). They can take in runners’ energy when their feet touch the ground and then return part of the energy to the runners, which helps Kipchoge run faster.

【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段“When he was a teenager, thanks to his neighbor and former Olympic athlete, Sang, Kipchoge took on professional(专业的)running. Sang became his coach and lifelong friend. With the help of Sang, Kipchoge’s training became more and more effective(在他十几岁的时候，多亏了他的邻居、前奥运会运动员Sang，Kipchoge开始了专业跑步。Sang成了他的教练和一生的朋友。在Sang的帮助下，Kipchoge的训练变得越来越有效)”可知，邻居Sang是前奥运选手，多亏了Sang，Kipchoge才开始了专业训练。他成了奥运运动员的学生。故选C。
2. 推理判断题。根据第六段“Apart from his talent as well as working hard, his shoes are also helpful during his running.It is a pair of special ones with a special kind of foam(海绵式橡胶). They can take in runners’ energy when their feet touch the ground and then return part of the energy to the runners, which helps Kipchoge run faster.(除了他的天赋和努力，他的鞋子在他跑步时也很有帮助。这是一双有特制海绵式橡胶的特殊的鞋子。当跑步者的脚接触地面时，它们可以吸收跑步者的能量，然后将一部分能量返还给跑步者，这有助于Kipchoge跑得更快。)”可知，作者在这一段讲述了一种助理跑步的高科技的鞋子，因此推断提到鞋子的目的是说明“科技助力体育”。故选A。
3. 推理判断题。根据第三段首句“Kipchoge has talent.”、第四段首句“Still, Kipchoge didn’t stop.”和第五段首句“Though Kipchoge has won so much, he didn’t stop running.(虽然基Kinpchoge赢得了这么多，但他并没有停止跑步)”可知,Kipchoge是有天赋并勤奋的。故选D。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段的“The marathon runner, born in 1984 in Kenya, has succeeded in running a 42 - kilometer marathon in under two hours, which was considered physically impossible.

C
There is increasing alarm about the extent of micro plastic pollution, which has been found everywhere from Everest to the Arctic. However, it turns out there’s an even smaller and more poisonous form of plastic pollution entering remote reaches of the globe. A new study published in Environmental Research found significant quantities of nanoplastics in ice samples from both the North and South Poles.
“Now we know that nanoplastics are transported to these comers of the Earth in these quantities. This indicates that nanoplastics are really a bigger pollution problem than we thought,” study lead author Dusan Materic said in a press release.
Nanoplastics are plastics that are smaller than a micrometer in size. Their small size means they are more difficult to study than microplastics, or plastics between five millimeters and a micrometer. But they maybe even more dangerous.
“Nanoplastics are very toxicologically active compared to, for instance, microplastics, and that’s why this is very important” Materic said.
Materic and his team used new methods to measure nanoplastic pollution in ice samples from Greenland and Antarctica. They sampled a 14-meter-deep ice core (核) from the Greenland icecap and sea ice from Antarcia’s McMurdo Sound. They found that there were an average of 13.2 nanograms per milliliter of nanoplastics in the Greenland ice and an average of 52.3 nanograms per milliliter in the Antarctic ice.
But what was even more surprising than the amount of nanoplastics in the remote ice was just how long they had sat there. “In the Greenland core, we see nanoplastic pollution happening all the way from the 1960s. So organisms, despite the lack of the solid evidence, likely all over the world, have been exposed to it for quite some time now,” Materic said.
The study also looked at the types of plastic present in the samples. Half of the Greenland nanoplastics were polyethylene (PE), the kind of plastic used for plastic bags and packaging. A quarter came from tires and a fifth were polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is, used for clothing and bottles.
8. Why should researchers focus more on nanoplastics
A. They are more important to science. B. They are smaller but more dangerous.
C. They are easily polluted by ocean water D. They are more active in cold surroundings.
9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Para.6
A. The Greenland core. B. The Antarctic ice.
C. The amount of nanoplastics. D. Nanoplastics pollution.
10. What can we learn about nanoplastics
A. The North and South poles are the birthplace of nanoplastics.
B. Nanoplastics have less influence on the pa net than microplastics.
C. Nanoplastics found in the samples are widely used in the daily life.
D. Nanoplastics have been existing since the 1960s throughout the world.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Microplastics—proving more dangerous.
B. Nanoplastics—making its way to the poles.
C. Nanoplastics—posing a threat to people’s life.
D. Microplastics—setting the alarm bells ringing.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。发表在《环境研究》杂志上的一项新研究发现，北极和南极的冰样本中都含有大量的纳米塑料。文章说明了纳米塑料的危害以及这一发现是如何得出的经过。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Nanoplastics are plastics that are smaller than a micrometer in size. Their small size means they are more difficult to study than microplastics, or plastics between five millimeters and a micrometer. But they may be even more dangerous.(纳米塑料是尺寸小于1微米的塑料。它们的小尺寸意味着它们比微塑料（5毫米到1微米之间的塑料）更难研究。但它们可能更加危险)”可知，研究人员应该更多地关注纳米塑料是因为它们更小但更危险。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“In the Greenland core, we see nanoplastic pollution happening all the way from the 1960s.(在格陵兰岛核心，我们看到纳米塑料污染从20世纪60年代开始一直在发生)”推知，尽管缺乏确凿的证据，但很有可能全世界的生物已经受到纳米塑料污染有一段时间了，故划线词it代指“纳米塑料污染”。故选D。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The study also looked at the types of plastic present in the samples. Half of the Greenland nanoplastics were polyethylene (PE), the kind of plastic used for plastic bags and packaging. A quarter came from tires and a fifth were polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used for clothing and bottles.(该研究还研究了样本中存在的塑料类型。格陵兰岛一半的纳米塑料是聚乙烯（PE），一种用于塑料袋和包装的塑料。四分之一来自轮胎，五分之一是用于服装和瓶子的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）)”可知，在样品中发现的纳米塑料在日常生活中被广泛使用。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“There is increasing alarm about the extent of micro plastic pollution, which has been found everywhere from Everest to the Arctic. However, it turns out there’s an even smaller and more poisonous form of plastic pollution entering remote reaches of the globe. A new study published in Environmental Research found significant quantities of nanoplastics in ice samples from both the North and South Poles.(人们对微塑料污染的程度越来越感到担忧，从珠穆朗玛峰到北极，塑料污染无处不在。然而，事实证明，还有一种更小、更有毒的塑料污染正在进入地球的偏远地区。发表在《环境研究》上的一项新研究发现，北极和南极的冰样本中都含有大量的纳米塑料)”可知，文章主要介绍了纳米塑料的危害已经延伸至地球的偏远区域。B选项“纳米塑料——正在走向两极”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
Breathing is something you do all day long, without even thinking about it. However, you might be doing it wrong. Research shows that the way you breathe affects the amount of oxygen (氧气) you take in，as well as how you think and feel.
So which is it Do you breathe through your nose or your mouth Some health experts recommend people breathe in through the nose and out through their mouth. Others say that people should just focus on breathing easily, paying no attention to their mouth or nose preference. But mouth breathing has also been connected with bad breath, high blood pressure and bad teeth.
Nose breathing may improve how memories are stabilized (稳定) in our brains, according to Swedish researchers. During the study, participants smelled 12 different smells and they were asked to breathe either through their nose or mouth for an hour afterwards. Then, they were presented with the original set of smells and a new set. Those who smelled with their nose remembered the smells better.
A research team recognized the differences in brain activity that happened when seven epilepsy (癫痫) patients breathed through the nose or through the mouth. The team found three areas of the brain where activity is connected with breathing. These areas showed more changes in brain activity only when volunteers breathed in through their noses.
So, should people breathing through the mouth change their breathing habits If you’re happy with the way you breathe and you aren’t experiencing any health problems, be yourself and just keep your own way. But if you think it might be time for a change, focus on breathing through your nose until it becomes a habit. It might help you survive an emergency.
12. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Your life style. B. How you breathe.
C. How you think and feel. D. The oxygen you take in.
13. What did Swedish researchers find
A. Nose breathing may improve memory.
B. Mouth breathing causes health problems.
C. People breathing through the nose identify smells difficultly.
D. People breathing through the mouth have a good sense of taste.
14. What is the effect of nose breathing according to the research
A. It helps one to stay healthy.
B. It cures bad breath and snoring.
C. It makes one’s brain more active.
D. It improves one’s sense of smell.
15. What does the author think of nose breathing
A. It’s hard to get used to.
B. It’s suitable for everybody.
C. It’s what people have to do.
D. It’s what people can benefit from.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了瑞典研究人员发现，用鼻子呼吸对我们更有好处。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Research shows that the way you breathe affects the amount of oxygen (氧气) you take in，as well as how you think and feel.(研究表明，你呼吸的方式会影响你吸入的氧气量，以及你的思维和感觉。)”可知，研究表明，你呼吸的方式会影响你吸入的氧气量，以及你的思维和感觉，画线词后又提到了到底应该用鼻子呼吸还是用嘴呼吸，此处是说那么到底用哪一种呼吸方式呢？由此可知it指的就是前面提到的呼吸方式，故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nose breathing may improve how memories are stabilized (稳定) in our brains, according to Swedish researchers.(瑞典研究人员称，用鼻子呼吸可以提高大脑记忆的稳定性。)”可知，瑞典研究发现鼻子呼吸可以改善记忆力，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The team found three areas of the brain where activity is connected with breathing. These areas showed more changes in brain activity only when volunteers breathed in through their noses.(研究小组发现大脑中有三个区域的活动与呼吸有关。只有当志愿者用鼻子吸气时，这些区域的大脑活动才会发生更多变化。)”可知，研究发现鼻子呼吸使人的大脑更加活跃，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But if you think it might be time for a change, focus on breathing through your nose until it becomes a habit. It might help you survive an emergency.(但如果你认为是时候做出改变了，那就专注于用鼻子呼吸，直到它成为一种习惯。它可能会帮助你在紧急情况下逃生。)”可知，作者认为鼻子呼吸会让人们从中受益，故选D。

For example, when Violet was painting, she would paint by her side. Every time, Violet looked at her angrily. Couldn’t she find her own thing to do This time, it was Tilly’s first week at gymnastics, while Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years.
Violet sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults (翻筋斗). She frowned at her little sister across the room. Why couldn’t Tilly always find her own thing to do “Violet, you’re up!” called Violet’s instructor, Miss Taylor. Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Taylor clapped. “Perfect!”
Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet’s somersaults. “Tilly!” called Tilly’s instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room. Tilly didn’t seem to hear. Not until she was called three times did she run back to her group. “ Your turn to do somersaults. ” Miss Brooke put an arm around her. Tilly walked to the mat with her face turning red like a tomato. She bent down to start a somersault. When she rolled, she fell heavily on the mat. Kids laughed in surprise at the noise.
Tilly stood uncomfortably and then ran towards the restroom. She was gone from the gym, as Violet had wanted. But it didn’t feel right. After telling Miss Taylor where she was going, Violet hurried to the restroom. She found Tilly crying hard. Violet put an arm around her sister. Seeing Violet, Tilly cried even harder. Tilly sniffed “I don’t want to do gymnastics any more.” She wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. This was Violet’s chance.

A smile took hold of Tilly when the amusing scene came to her.
Seeing a smile on Tilly’s face, Violet said, “What about giving it another try ” Tilly smiled a little more and made up her mind that she would not be a coward . “OK!” Picking up all her courage, Tilly walked back into the gym, where she did much practice and finally succeeded in doing somersaults perfectly under the guidance of Miss Taylor. Nobody could feel more on top of the world than her then. A bright smile spread across the little girl’s face. Gratitude to her elder sister filled her eyes.

The marathon runner, born in 1984 in Kenya, has succeeded in running a 42 - kilometer marathon in under two hours, which was considered physically impossible. He made the breakthrough in 2019. Now he has won the most male World Marathon Major races, nine in total.
Kipchoge loved running during his childhood. He ran to school, covering 3.2 km every day. Kipchoge also cycled to the local market, taking several gallons of milk that his family would sell. When he was a teenager, thanks to his neighbor and former Olympic athlete, Sang, Kipchoge took on professional(专业的)running. Sang became his coach and lifelong friend. With the help of Sang, Kipchoge’s training became more and more effective.
Kipchoge has talent. But he is also a “true believer” fighting against himself, always ready to push his own limits. In 2016, at the Rio Olympics, Kipchoge won the gold medal for the marathon with a time of 2:08:44. Only two years later, in 2018, he finished the Berlin Marathon in a time of 2:01:39. The result was not just the fastest Berlin marathon run in history, but also the fastest marathon ever run at the time.
Still, Kipchoge didn’t stop. He believed he could go on challenging where no other human had succeeded. At the age of 35, with good preparations, he finished the race in 1:59:40.20, breaking the two -hour limit. He set the new record and proved to the world that no human is limited.
Though Kipchoge has won so much, he didn’t stop running. In 2021, he won the gold medal for Tokyo Olympics male marathon with a time of 2:08:38 and in 2022, the Berlin Marathon 2:01:09.
Apart from his talent as well as working hard, his shoes are also helpful during his running.It is a pair of special ones with a special kind of foam(海绵式橡胶). They can take in runners’ energy when their feet touch the ground and then return part of the energy to the runners, which helps Kipchoge run faster.
Nothing is impossible. Kipchoge proves that the saying is true.
4. What helped Kipchoge start professional training
A. He got support from his family.
B. He ran 3.2 km to school every day.
C. He became the student of an Olympic athlete.
D. He went cycling to the local market to sell milk.

B. To prove success is based on hard work only.
C. To explain energy can stay in the shoes for a long time.
D. To recommend more marathon runners buy this kind of shoes.

There is increasing alarm about the extent of micro plastic pollution, which has been found everywhere from Everest to the Arctic. However, it turns out there’s an even smaller and more poisonous form of plastic pollution entering remote reaches of the globe. A new study published in Environmental Research found significant quantities of nanoplastics in ice samples from both the North and South Poles.
“Now we know that nanoplastics are transported to these comers of the Earth in these quantities. This indicates that nanoplastics are really a bigger pollution problem than we thought,” study lead author Dusan Materic said in a press release.
Nanoplastics are plastics that are smaller than a micrometer in size. Their small size means they are more difficult to study than microplastics, or plastics between five millimeters and a micrometer. But they maybe even more dangerous.
“Nanoplastics are very toxicologically active compared to, for instance, microplastics, and that’s why this is very important” Materic said.
Materic and his team used new methods to measure nanoplastic pollution in ice samples from Greenland and Antarctica. They sampled a 14-meter-deep ice core (核) from the Greenland icecap and sea ice from Antarcia’s McMurdo Sound. They found that there were an average of 13.2 nanograms per milliliter of nanoplastics in the Greenland ice and an average of 52.3 nanograms per milliliter in the Antarctic ice.
But what was even more surprising than the amount of nanoplastics in the remote ice was just how long they had sat there. “In the Greenland core, we see nanoplastic pollution happening all the way from the 1960s. So organisms, despite the lack of the solid evidence, likely all over the world, have been exposed to it for quite some time now,” Materic said.
The study also looked at the types of plastic present in the samples. Half of the Greenland nanoplastics were polyethylene (PE), the kind of plastic used for plastic bags and packaging. A quarter came from tires and a fifth were polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is, used for clothing and bottles.
8. Why should researchers focus more on nanoplastics
A. They are more important to science. B. They are smaller but more dangerous.
C. They are easily polluted by ocean water D. They are more active in cold surroundings.
9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Para.6
A. The Greenland core. B. The Antarctic ice.

Breathing is something you do all day long, without even thinking about it. However, you might be doing it wrong. Research shows that the way you breathe affects the amount of oxygen (氧气) you take in，as well as how you think and feel.
So which is it Do you breathe through your nose or your mouth Some health experts recommend people breathe in through the nose and out through their mouth. Others say that people should just focus on breathing easily, paying no attention to their mouth or nose preference. But mouth breathing has also been connected with bad breath, high blood pressure and bad teeth.
Nose breathing may improve how memories are stabilized (稳定) in our brains, according to Swedish researchers. During the study, participants smelled 12 different smells and they were asked to breathe either through their nose or mouth for an hour afterwards. Then, they were presented with the original set of smells and a new set. Those who smelled with their nose remembered the smells better.
A research team recognized the differences in brain activity that happened when seven epilepsy (癫痫) patients breathed through the nose or through the mouth. The team found three areas of the brain where activity is connected with breathing. These areas showed more changes in brain activity only when volunteers breathed in through their noses.
So, should people breathing through the mouth change their breathing habits If you’re happy with the way you breathe and you aren’t experiencing any health problems, be yourself and just keep your own way. But if you think it might be time for a change, focus on breathing through your nose until it becomes a habit. It might help you survive an emergency.
12. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Your life style. B. How you breathe.
C. How you think and feel. D. The oxygen you take in.
13. What did Swedish researchers find
A. Nose breathing may improve memory.
B. Mouth breathing causes health problems.
C People breathing through the nose identify smells difficultly.
D. People breathing through the mouth have a good sense of taste.
14. What is the effect of nose breathing according to the research
A. It helps one to stay healthy.
B. It cures bad breath and snoring.
C. It makes one’s brain more active.
D It improves one’s sense of smell.
15. What does the author think of nose breathing
A. It’s hard to get used to.
B. It’s suitable for everybody.
C. It’s what people have to do.
D It’s what people can benefit from.

Violet and Tilly were two sisters. Tilly was so stuck with her sister that she always followed her elder sister, Violet, everywhere. For example, when Violet was painting, she would paint by her side. Every time, Violet looked at her angrily. Couldn’t she find her own thing to do This time, it was Tilly’s first week at gymnastics, while Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years.
Violet sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults (翻筋斗). She frowned at her little sister across the room. Why couldn’t Tilly always find her own thing to do “Violet, you’re up!” called Violet’s instructor, Miss Taylor. Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Taylor clapped. “Perfect!”
Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet’s somersaults. “Tilly!” called Tilly’s instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room. Tilly didn’t seem to hear. Not until she was called three times did she run back to her group. “ Your turn to do somersaults. ” Miss Brooke put an arm around her. Tilly walked to the mat with her face turning red like a tomato. She bent down to start a somersault. When she rolled, she fell heavily on the mat. Kids laughed in surprise at the noise.
Tilly stood uncomfortably and then ran towards the restroom. She was gone from the gym, as Violet had wanted. But it didn’t feel right. After telling Miss Taylor where she was going, Violet hurried to the restroom. She found Tilly crying hard. Violet put an arm around her sister. Seeing Violet, Tilly cried even harder. Tilly sniffed “I don’t want to do gymnastics any more.” She wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. This was Violet’s chance.
