These days, videos of “ diving grandpas” from north China’s Tianjin are popular on the Internet. In the videos, they jumped off the Shizilin Bridge into the 7-meter-deep Haihe River. However, on Wednesday, they announced that they would give up the sport.
With an average age of 60, the diving grandpas have much experience in diving. They started as a group of local diving lovers. They went swimming in the city’s rivers, and later they tried their hand at diving. The hobby has now lasted for more than thirty years.
Videos on the Internet have drawn lots of tourists from across the country to the Shizilin Bridge over the Haihe River, where “diving grandpas” perform diving. However, some inexperienced divers, trying to follow“ diving grandpas”, have met with accidents and got themselves injured. Some of the grandpas have begun volunteering to keep order for the crowds that come to see the performance on the bridge. However, accidents still continued to happen. As reported, members of the Blue Sky Rescue team in Tianjin said that they rescued 14 people at the risk of drowning or other injury in just two days.
The grandpas then made a difficult decision. They stopped diving off the bridge. They also prevented inexperienced locals and children as well as tourists from diving from the bridge .

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
28. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tracked. B. Separated.
C. Decorated. D. Improved.
29. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
30. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Flooding Has Caused Widespread Damage in the US
B. Yellowstone National Park Was Closed due to Flooding
C. Natural Beauty Makes Yellowstone America’s Oldest Park
D. Yellowstone National Park Partially Reopens After Flooding
D
More scientists are researching cellular senescence (细胞衰老) — a state in which cells no longer divide. Senescent cells, which buildup in older bodies, have something to do with age-related conditions such as dementia (痴呆) disease.
Scientists are researching drugs that treat senescent cells. But the most promising tool against the bad influences of senescent cells, experts say, is exercise.
Today, LeBrasseur, who directs a center on aging at Mayo, says exercise is “the most promising tool that we have” for good health in late life, and that its power spreads to our cells. Research suggests exercise prevents the build-up of senescent cells, helping the immune system (免疫系统) clear them and fight the cell damage that can affect (影响) aging.
Last year, LeBrasseur led a study that provided the first sign in humans that exercise greatly affected senescence. It cut signs in the bloodstream of the influences of senescent cells in the body. After a 12-week exercise program, researchers found that older adults had cut signs of senescence and improved body strength, physical ability and reported health. A recent study collect seven more facts — in animals and humans — for exercise as a treatment to fight against senescence cells.
While such studies are not well-known outside scientific circles, many older adults connect exercise with youthfulness. Farmer Mike Gale, 81, put in a track and field throwing circle on his large farm in California. He and some of his friends throw the discus and use other exercise equipment. “I’d like to be competing in my 90s,” Gale says. “Why not ” 95-year-old Richard Soller says exercise keeps him fit enough to deal with what comes his way — including the discovery that his wife of 62 years had developed dementia. The two sometimes walk the streets of their neighborhood together, holding hands. “Do as much as you can,” he says. “That should be the goal for anyone to stay healthy.”
32. What do we know about Le Brasseur
A. He discovered the cause of aging. B. He developed drugs to treat aging.
C He tested on animals and humans. D. He was the first to prove exercise stops aging.
33. How did Mike Gale feel about his physical condition
A. Worried. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Unsatisfied.
34. How does the author develop the last paragraph
A. By providing examples. B. By following time order.
C. By making comparisons. D. By using numbers.
35. Which is the best title for the text
A. Aging Secret Comes to Light B. Aging Diseases Seriously Affect Health
C. Exercise Is Best Tool Against Aging D. Elderly People Can Also Live Active Life

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
28. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tracked. B. Separated.
C. Decorated. D. Improved.
29. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
30. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
31. What can be the best title for the text

More scientists are researching cellular senescence (细胞衰老) — a state in which cells no longer divide. Senescent cells, which buildup in older bodies, have something to do with age-related conditions such as dementia (痴呆) disease.
Scientists are researching drugs that treat senescent cells. But the most promising tool against the bad influences of senescent cells, experts say, is exercise.
Today, LeBrasseur, who directs a center on aging at Mayo, says exercise is “the most promising tool that we have” for good health in late life, and that its power spreads to our cells. Research suggests exercise prevents the build-up of senescent cells, helping the immune system (免疫系统) clear them and fight the cell damage that can affect (影响) aging.
Last year, LeBrasseur led a study that provided the first sign in humans that exercise greatly affected senescence. It cut signs in the bloodstream of the influences of senescent cells in the body. After a 12-week exercise program, researchers found that older adults had cut signs of senescence and improved body strength, physical ability and reported health. A recent study collect seven more facts — in animals and humans — for exercise as a treatment to fight against senescence cells.
While such studies are not well-known outside scientific circles, many older adults connect exercise with youthfulness. Farmer Mike Gale, 81, put in a track and field throwing circle on his large farm in California. He and some of his friends throw the discus and use other exercise equipment. “I’d like to be competing in my 90s,” Gale says. “Why not ” 95-year-old Richard Soller says exercise keeps him fit enough to deal with what comes his way — including the discovery that his wife of 62 years had developed dementia. The two sometimes walk the streets of their neighborhood together, holding hands. “Do as much as you can,” he says. “That should be the goal for anyone to stay healthy.”
32. What do we know about Le Brasseur
A. He discovered the cause of aging. B. He developed drugs to treat aging.
C. He tested on animals and humans. D. He was the first to prove exercise stops aging.
33. How did Mike Gale feel about his physical condition
A. Worried. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Unsatisfied.
34. How does the author develop the last paragraph
A. By providing examples. B. By following time order.
C. By making comparisons. D. By using numbers.
35. Which is the best title for the text
A. Aging Secret Comes to Light B. Aging Diseases Seriously Affect Health
C. Exercise Is Best Tool Against Aging D. Elderly People Can Also Live Active Life
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C

【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：作为徐霞客的故乡，江阴已成为国内外游客的现代化旅游目的地。名词hometown后有定语of Xu Xiake修饰，物指，用定冠词the限定。故填the。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：作为徐霞客的故乡，江阴已成为国内外游客的现代化旅游目的地。at home and abroad和from home and abroad是固定搭配，意为“海内外；国内外 ”。故填at/from。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：但古代冒险家徐霞客仍然是人们来这里的主要原因。分析句子可知，提示词在句中作主语，应用名词adventurer，结合单数谓语动词remains可知，主语为单数名词。故填adventurer。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：至今，《徐霞客游记》已广为传阅。分析句子可知，read(阅读)是句中谓语动词，与主语the Travel Diary of Xu Xiake之间是被动关系，句中有时间状语So far，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是专有名词，是单数概念，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成的被动语态，单数形式。故填has been read。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：徐霞客用了30多年的时间走遍了16个省份，详细描述了他的探索。spend...doing...为固定搭配，意为“用/花……做……”，用动名词作宾语。故填traveling/travelling。
【66题详解】

【67题详解】
考查名词。句意：他的日记属于旅行文学的范畴，它不仅以旅行为主题，而且还以描写作者的经历而闻名。根据句意和空格前名词所有格author’s可知，空格处应用名词，结合句意，作者的“经历”是复数概念，用复数形式。故填experiences。
【68题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：徐霞客有一个富有的父亲，他的父亲喜欢自然胜过权力，尤其是风景胜过官职。分析句子可知，prefer(更喜欢)是定语从句中谓语动词，与主语who(即a wealthy father)之间是主动关系，讲述过去的事情，应使用一般过去时态。故填preferred。
【69题详解】
考查副词。句意：显然，他喜欢读有关中国山川的书。根据句意，提示词在句中作评注性状语，用副词obviously，意为“显然”，句首单词首字母大写。故填Obviously。

【答案】Dear Jack,
I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well lately. As your friend, I care about you very much.
People need to adjust their state to adapt to the changing environment. So I have a few suggestions for you. First of all, go to bed early every day and don’t study too late. As a student, you need 6-8 hours of sleep every day to ensure that you are energetic the next day, and abundant energy in turn promotes learning efficiency. Secondly, you can do more exercise. Exercise can strengthen your body and delight your mind. In this way, you won’t get tired easily after a day’s school life. Finally, it is also good to eat more healthy foods, including green vegetables, fresh fruits, and protein foods such as meat, eggs and milk.
I hope my advice is helpful to you. Look forward to receiving your good news soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
