A 32-year-old Australian runner has set a new world record for continuous daily marathons as a woman.
Erchana Murray-Bartlett set out from Cape York, the tip of Australia, in August 2022. She then ra n a marathon every day for 150 days— a 3,900-mile journey that ended in Melbourne on Monday, January 16,2023.
By running the entire north-south distance of Australia, Murray-Bartlett beat the record held by British runner Kate Jayden, who ran a marathon for 106 continuous days last year. In addition to the new Guinness World Record, Murray-Bartlett was running to raise money for a conservation charity, the Wilderness Society. She raised $70,000 during her journey across Australia.
“Yesterday was everything,” she said. “When I stood on the start line on August 20 I could never have imagined what the next 22 weeks would bring... I can’t put into words how good crossing that finish line felt, and to be honest, I think I’ll be processing for a few weeks, months, and even years to come.”
Murray-Bartlett has been running professionally for many years. When she missed out on qualifying. for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she decided on a new goal: running the length of Australia and setting a new female record for continuous marathons.
To state the obvious: it wasn’t always easy. Murray-Bartlett experienced three injuries during the first 3 weeks of the journey. But she didn’t give up, and her body adapted as she ran along her country’s coasts, rainforests, dirt roads and highways. She ran through heavy rain and intense heat.
The journey also served to raise awareness of Australia’s extinction(灭绝) crisis. Many of the island nation’s plants and animals are found nowhere else — yet 500 of them are threatened with extinction. Throughout the trip, Murray-Bartlett highlighted her country’s biodiversity on social media. When she finally crossed the finish line on Monday evening, she learned she’d raised nearly double her fundraising(募捐) goal.
4. What’s one goal of Murray-Bartlett’s running
A. To enter the next Olympics. B. To go on running professionally.
C. To collect money for protecting wildlife. D. To help bring back lost plants and animals.
5. How did she feel when crossing the finish line
A. Pleased. B. Faint. C. Confident. D. Horrible.
6 What do we know about the journey from paragraph 6
A. Murray-Bartlett finished the journey uninjured.
B. The good weather continued during her journey.
C. There were many challenges during the journey.
D. The journey raised awareness of extinction crisis.
7. Which words can best describe Murray-Bartlett
A. Energetic and frank. B. Tough and determined.
C. Positive and adventurous. D. Considerate and generous.
C
The old saying “Use it or lose it” doesn’t seem to be true when it comes to someone’s ability to preserve and use a foreign language, a new study has showed.
The research team tasked almost 500 British people who had taken French GCSE or A-level between the 1970s and 2020 with completing a French vocabulary and grammar test. They included a survey of whether participants had used their French knowledge over the years since their exams, and excluded (排除) anyone who had studied a language later on in life.
They found that participants who had taken their exam 50 years ago and not used French ever since performed as well as as recent school leavers and those who occasionally used French.
Lead researcher Monika Schmid said: “The knowledge of language is surprisingly stable over long periods of time compared to other subjects such as maths, history or science. This is likely because of the way language is stored in memory. Vocabulary is memorized in the same way that facts, dates and names are, while this memory may become weaker over time, and grammar is learned in a similar way to riding a bike, a kind of muscle memory, which is much more stable. Vocabulary knowledge on the other hand, exists in a highly connected network, which means that we need only be reminded of a word that sounds similar to a foreign language word for our brain to recall it.”
“Many people are not willing to revisit languages they once learnt as they fear they will be forced to relive some of the more ‘boring’ elements of the courses, such as grammar, but our work suggests that this would not be necessary. We hope that it might encourage more people to pick foreign languages back up if they know it would only take a short amount of time in refresher lessons to go back to their original level,” Schmid added.
8. What did the researchers ask the participants to do
A. Take a French exam.
B. Conduct a survey in French.
C. Learn French from recent school leavers.
D. Talk about their French GCSE experience.
9. What can help us recall a foreign word
A. A fact related to it. B. Our muscle memory.
C. A similar-sounding word. D. The grammar of the language.
10. What can we infer from Schmid’s words in the last paragraph
A. One is able to quickly and easily to learn a new language.
B. Years of use promises fluency in a foreign language.
C. The boring elements of a language course are important.
D. It is easier than one thinks to pick a foreign language back up.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Language Tests Taken at School Matter
B. If You Don’t Use a Language, You Lose It
C. Knowledge of Foreign Languages Lasts a Lifetime
D. When You Grasp the Grammar, You Learn the Language
D
Housing officials say that lately they are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will, and the skill, to deal with ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our conflicts are because kids don’t know how to solve a problem by formal discussion.”
And as any pop psychologist will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent discontent (不满) that can boil over into frustration and anger. At the University of Florida, emotional conflicts occur about once a week, the university’s director of housing education says, “Over the past five years, roommate conflicts have increased. The students don’t have the person-to-person discussions and they don’t know how to handle them.” The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to improve, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.
Administrators guess that reliance on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable encounters. Why express anger in person when you can vent (发泄) in a text “Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook like: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more conflicts as complaints go public.” In recent focus groups at North Carolina State University, dorm residents said they would not even deal with noisy neighbors on their floor.
Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to interfere (干涉) on campus.
12. What is the main reason for many roommate conflicts
A. Students are not good at reaching an agreement about the problems.
B. Students are not satisfied with each other.
C. Housing directors are not responsible for them.
D. Students are not strong-willed.
13. What do we learn from the second paragraph
A. Students, especially freshmen, should bottle up their dissatisfaction.
B. Students in Florida sit down and have a person-to-person talk once a week.
C. Not all students are able to handle conflicts by the time they graduate.
D. The number of conflicts among roommates has decreased in the past five years.
14. What is the attitude of Dana Pysz when he mentions roommates reveal their conflicts in the media
A. Disapproving. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
15. What should parents do according to the passage
A. They should be involved in their children’s life on campus.
B They should deal with their children’s problems in their whole lives.
C. They should constantly contact the administrators of the college.
D. They should teach their children the skills to tackle the conflicts.

The old saying “Use it or lose it” doesn’t seem to be true when it comes to someone’s ability to preserve and use a foreign language, a new study has showed.
The research team tasked almost 500 British people who had taken French GCSE or A-level between the 1970s and 2020 with completing a French vocabulary and grammar test. They included a survey of whether participants had used their French knowledge over the years since their exams, and excluded (排除) anyone who had studied a language later on in life.
They found that participants who had taken their exam 50 years ago and not used French ever since performed as well as as recent school leavers and those who occasionally used French.
Lead researcher Monika Schmid said: “The knowledge of language is surprisingly stable over long periods of time, compared to other subjects such as maths, history or science. This is likely because of the way language is stored in memory. Vocabulary is memorized in the same way that facts, dates and names are, while this memory may become weaker over time, and grammar is learned in a similar way to riding a bike, a kind of muscle memory, which is much more stable. Vocabulary knowledge on the other hand, exists in a highly connected network, which means that we need only be reminded of a word that sounds similar to a foreign language word for our brain to recall it.”
“Many people are not willing to revisit languages they once learnt as they fear they will be forced to relive some of the more ‘boring’ elements of the courses, such as grammar, but our work suggests that this would not be necessary. We hope that it might encourage more people to pick foreign languages back up if they know it would only take a short amount of time in refresher lessons to go back to their original level,” Schmid added.
8. What did the researchers ask the participants to do
A. Take a French exam.
B. Conduct a survey in French.
C. Learn French from recent school leavers.
D. Talk about their French GCSE experience.
9. What can help us recall a foreign word
A. A fact related to it. B. Our muscle memory.
C. A similar-sounding word. D. The grammar of the language.
10. What can we infer from Schmid’s words in the last paragraph
A. One is able to quickly and easily to learn a new language.
B. Years of use promises fluency in a foreign language.
C. The boring elements of a language course are important.
D. It is easier than one thinks to pick a foreign language back up.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Language Tests Taken at School Matter
B. If You Don’t Use a Language, You Lose It
C. Knowledge of Foreign Languages Lasts a Lifetime
D. When You Grasp the Grammar, You Learn the Language
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现在保存和使用语言的能力方面，“非用即失”的说法似乎并不正确。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The research team tasked almost 500 British people who had taken French GCSE or A-level between the 1970s and 2020 with completing a French vocabulary and grammar test.(研究小组要求近500名在20世纪70年代至2020年间参加过法语GCSE或a -level考试的英国人完成法语词汇和语法测试。)”可知，研究团队要求研究参与者完成法语词汇和语法测试，由此可知，研究者要求参与者参加法语测试。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Vocabulary knowledge on the other hand, exists in a highly connected network, which means that we need only be reminded of a word that sounds similar to a foreign language word for our brain to recall it.(另一方面，词汇知识存在于一个高度连接的网络中，这意味着我们只需要被提醒一个听起来与外语单词相似的单词，我们的大脑就能记住它。)”可知，根据首席研究员莫妮卡·施密德说，人们只需要被提醒一个听起来与外语单词相似的单词，我们的大脑就能记住它，由此可知，被提醒一个听起来与外语单词相似的单词，我们就能回忆出这个外语词汇。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段““Many people are not willing to revisit languages they once learnt as they fear they will be forced to relive some of the more ‘boring’ elements of the courses, such as grammar, but our work suggests that this would not be necessary. We hope that it might encourage more people to pick foreign languages back up if they know it would only take a short amount of time in refresher lessons to go back to their original level,” Schmid added.(“许多人不愿意重新学习他们曾经学过的语言，因为他们担心他们会被迫重温课程中一些更‘无聊’的元素，比如语法，但我们的研究表明，这是没有必要的。我们希望如果他们知道只需要很短的复习时间就能回到原来的水平，这能鼓励更多的人重新学习外语，”施密德补充道。)”可知，施密德认为，如果他们知道只需要很短的复习时间就能回到原来的水平，这能鼓励更多的人重新学习外语，由此可知，一个人只需要很短的复习时间就能够重新学习这门外语。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The old saying “Use it or lose it” doesn’t seem to be true when it comes to someone’s ability to preserve and use a foreign language, a new study has showed.(一项新的研究表明，当涉及到一个人保存和使用外语的能力时，“非用即废”这句老话似乎并不正确。)”可知，本文介绍的是一项研究表明，“非用即废”这句老话在一个人保存和使用语言的能力方面似乎不正确，结合下文中对该研究的过程的介绍以及对研究结果的分析以及第四段中的“The knowledge of language is surprisingly stable over long periods of time, compared to other subjects such as maths, history or science. This is likely because of the way language is stored in memory.(与数学、历史或科学等其他学科相比，语言知识在很长一段时间内的稳定性令人惊讶。)”可知，人们在很多年后不使用以前学过的语言，其语言知识在很长一段时间内的能持有相当的稳定性，所以题目“外语知识受用一生”与本文的内容一致，且概括了本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。
D
Housing officials say that lately they are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will, and the skill, to deal with ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our conflicts are because kids don’t know how to solve a problem by formal discussion.”
And as any pop psychologist will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent discontent (不满) that can boil over into frustration and anger. At the University of Florida, emotional conflicts occur about once a week, the university’s director of housing education says, “Over the past five years, roommate conflicts have increased. The students don’t have the person-to-person discussions and they don’t know how to handle them.” The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to improve, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.
Administrators guess that reliance on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable encounters. Why express anger in person when you can vent (发泄) in a text “Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook like: Oh my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more conflicts as complaints go public.” In recent focus groups at North Carolina State University, dorm residents said they would not even deal with noisy neighbors on their floor.
Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to interfere (干涉) on campus.
12. What is the main reason for many roommate conflicts
A. Students are not good at reaching an agreement about the problems.
B. Students are not satisfied with each other.
C. Housing directors are not responsible for them.
D. Students are not strong-willed.
13. What do we learn from the second paragraph
A. Students, especially freshmen, should bottle up their dissatisfaction.
B. Students in Florida sit down and have a person-to-person talk once a week.
C. Not all students are able to handle conflicts by the time they graduate.
D. The number of conflicts among roommates has decreased in the past five years.
14. What is the attitude of Dana Pysz when he mentions roommates reveal their conflicts in the media
A. Disapproving. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
15. What should parents do according to the passage
A. They should be involved in their children’s life on campus.
B. They should deal with their children’s problems in their whole lives.
C. They should constantly contact the administrators of the college.
D. They should teach their children the skills to tackle the conflicts.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了宿舍室友发生冲突的现象日益严重的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“So many of our conflicts are because kids don’t know how to solve a problem by formal discussion.(我们的很多冲突都是因为孩子们不知道如何通过正式的讨论来解决问题。)”可知，很多冲突发生是因为孩子们不知道如何讨论解决问题，由此可知，很多室友冲突发生的主要原因是学生不善于就问题达成一致。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to improve, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.(这个问题在大一新生中最为突出；住房专业人士说，随着学生临近毕业，他们看到情况有所改善，但有些人似乎从未改善过，他们担心这些学生毕业后将如何处理冲突。)”可知，宿舍室友之间的冲突会随着毕业情况有所改善，但有些人从未改善过，由此可知，并不是所有的学生在毕业时都能处理好矛盾。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook like: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more conflicts as complaints go public.”(加州大学洛杉矶分校(University of California, Los Angeles)的副主任达纳·皮兹(Dana Pysz)说：“Facebook上有人的留言墙上会贴着这样的内容：哦，我的室友让我整晚都在学习。”“这是一种向彼此表达冲突的不同方式，因此，随着投诉的公开，会产生更多的冲突。”)”可知，Dana Pysz认为将冲突发布到Facebook上会产生更多的冲突，由此可知，Dana Pysz不支持将冲突发布到媒体上。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段“Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to interfere (干涉) on campus.(管理人员指出，有些父母一辈子都在解决孩子的问题。现在在大学里，孩子们缺乏处理即使是适度冲突的技能。一些家长继续干涉校园事务。)”可知，有些父母一辈子在帮着孩子解决孩子的问题，到了大学还继续干涉孩子的校园事务，正式由于家长的过渡干预导致孩子们自己解决冲突的能力缺失，由此可推断，家长应该教给孩子处理冲突的技巧，而不是一味的去干预。故选D项。

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。
Reviews (评论) play an important role in our online society; they allow you to get an idea of what you are getting yourself into before actually putting any time into such a venture (冒险). Despite this, some people still choose not to take advantage of this useful tool. ____16____
Let’s look at why you should read reviews before buying something online.
____17____ Many factors (因素) determine what quality a product has, and trying to look for them all on your own when trying to shop is going to take you days of research. Many user review websites can give you a good idea of what the usual experience is when buying a product.
____18____ Not only will you have to create an account (账户) but you will also need to spend money to try out the game for a while to get a full view of what it has to offer. You can just look up reviews by experienced players and know right away whether it’s a great game. It’s really that simple.
With the number of companies that are out there, finding one that meets your tastes for what you are looking for can be a near-impossible task. ____19____ Reviews allow you to jump straight to the key points you need to know before wasting any time on a product that isn’t to your tastes.
So next time you consider buying something online, look up a few simple reviews. ____20____ But you will not regret it.
A. It might take a few minutes.
B. This may sound like a big deal.
C. It can lead you to having a bad shopping experience.
D. Reviews allow you to see if a product is worth your time.
E. This is especially the case if you happen to be someone with special tastes.
F. This can be for many reasons such as believing that others can’t exactly describe whatever product you are looking to buy.
G. For example, you are considering trying out an online game.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是网上购物前看评论的重要性。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“Despite this, some people still choose not to take advantage of this useful tool. (尽管如此，有些人仍然选择不利用这个有用的工具。)”可知，尽管评论在我们的网络生活中起着重要的作用，但是有些人仍不利用这个有用的工具，由此可推测，下文解释为什么人们不利用评论的原因，F选项“This can be for many reasons such as believing that others can’t exactly describe whatever product you are looking to buy. (这可能有很多原因，比如认为别人不能准确地描述你想买的产品。)”讲述的是人们不利用这一有用工具的原因，this指代的为空前的这种现象，承接上文。故选F项
【17题详解】
根据空前的“Let’s look at why you should read reviews before buying something online. (让我们来看看为什么你应该在网上购物前阅读评论。)”可知，下文中讲述的应是网购前阅读评论的原因，结合空后的“Many factors (因素) determine what quality a product has, and trying to look for them all on your own when trying to shop is going to take you days of research. (很多因素决定了一件产品的质量，如果你想在购物的时候自己去寻找，可能要花上几天的时间来研究。)”可知，了解一件商品的质量，自己花时间研究需要几天的时间，所以，通过阅读评论可以了解商品的质量，D选项“Reviews allow you to see if a product is worth your time. (评论让你看到一个产品是否值得你花时间。)”讲述的内容是阅读评论的原因，且与空后讲述的了解商品质量的内容一致。故选D项
18题详解】
根据空后的“Not only will you have to create an account (账户) but you will also need to spend money to try out the game for a while to get a full view of what it has to offer. (您不仅需要创建一个帐户，而且还需要花钱试玩游戏一段时间，以全面了解它所提供的内容。)”可知，此处讲述的内容与玩网络游戏需要做些什么相关，由此可推测，此处应是用玩网络游戏需要做的事情为例，来阐述阅读评论的重要性，G选项“For example, you are considering trying out an online game. (例如，你正在考虑尝试一款网络游戏。)”讲述的内容与下文内容吻合，且举例说明阅读评论的重要性，符合语境。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据空前的“With the number of companies that are out there, finding one that meets your tastes for what you are looking for can be a near-impossible task. (有这么多的公司，找到一家符合你口味的公司几乎是不可能的任务。)”可知，要在众多的公司中找到适合个人口味的不容易，所以，阅读评论有助于找到适合个人口味的公司，E选项“This is especially the case if you happen to be someone with special tastes. (如果你恰好是一个有特殊品味的人，这尤其如此。)”讲述的内容与空前的内容吻合，taste为词汇复现。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“So next time you consider buying something online, look up a few simple reviews. (所以下次你考虑在网上买东西的时候，查一些简单的评论。)”可知，此处对文章作总结，建议在网上购物时差一些简单的评论，结合空后的“But you will not regret it. (但是你不会后悔的。)”可知，此空处与下文为转折关系，A选项“It might take a few minutes. (可能需要几分钟。)”中的it指代的是上文中的“阅读一些简单的评论”，且与空后的内容为转折关系，符合逻辑。故选A项。

考查定语从句。句意：地震发生在熊本县的上木镇，当地时间晚上9:30之前。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是“quake”，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导，故填which。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：它造成9人死亡，850多人受伤。空处和名词“injuries”并列作宾语，应填名词形式，death“死，死亡”，可数名词，由空前的“nine”可知应用名词复数形式，故填deaths。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，他们错了。上文“Many smaller aftershock (余震) followed and most experts believed that the worst was over.(随后发生了许多较小的余震，大多数专家认为最糟糕的时候已经过去了)”提到专家认为最糟糕的时候已经过去了，下文提到“他们错了”，上下文是转折关系，应用表示转折的副词however，首字母应大写，故填However。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：当地时间4月16日凌晨1点25分，熊本县发生了更大的地震。“earthquake”是可数名词，此处泛指“一场更大的地震”，应用不定冠词，even是以元音音素开头，故填an。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：更糟糕的是，该地区遭遇了一场大雨，甚至引发了极其严重的泥石流。修饰形容词“serious”应用副词形式，故填extremely。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：至少造成350人死亡，2000多人受伤。got为连系动词，空处应填形容词作表语，injured“受伤的”，形容词，故填injured。
【42题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：在很短的时间内，这个城镇就成了一片废墟。结合上文内容可知，此处是描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，故填lay。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：日本和厄瓜多尔的救援队都在寻找被困在建筑物中的幸存者，专家们正试图确定这两次地震之间是否存在联系。此处是描述过去发生的事情，关系代词“who”指代先行词“survivors”，表示复数意义，和动词trap之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，故填were trapped。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。此处指“这两次地震之间”，应用介词between“在……之间”，故填between。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：与此同时，两国人民正在尽最大努力从自然灾害中恢复过来，希望他们脚下的地球不要动摇。try one’s best to do sth“尽某人最大努力做某事”，故此处应用动词不定式，故填to recover。
