Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation (PPIE) was started in 1987 to raise money by organizing running events for local schools. Based in Pleasanton, California, a suburb of San Francisco, the non-profit organization recently hosted a family-focused fitness event for the community. “Our event helps to bring the community together,” said Mindy Louie, events and outreach manager for PPIE. “We have more than 3,000 participants, hard-working volunteers and viewers.”
This year’s fitness event took place on April 30 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It featured races of two miles, five kilometers and ten kilometers. A new Kids Challenge consisted of a quarter-mile run to encourage younger children to participate. When asked to describe the run, 11-year-old Jeremy Louie said, “Fun, exciting and enjoyable.” Jeremy added that he was happy to help support his school.
PPIE supports all 15 schools in the Pleasanton Unified School District, which include more than 14, 500 students and 800 teachers and staff. The nonprofit organization tries to fund programs affected by budget cuts, while encouraging fitness and athleticism. To date, the PPIE has raised over $1 million for the school district.
A local runners’ group called the BURN Youth Development (B. Y. D.) participated in the fundraising. The B.Y.D. has since grown to more than 100 youth members, 30 of whom ran in April’s PPIE event. Jerry Wu, the group’s founder and lead coach, explained that the B.Y.D. was born to keep kids running. “Watching them running strongly and happily makes me smile every time,” Jerry said.
Jerry encourages teamwork and teaches the students valuable running techniques. As a B.Y.D. member, Ollie Gu, an eighth grader, was one of the top finishers in the ten-kilometer run. He completed the race in 40 minutes and 46 seconds and won first place in the 12-to-15 year-old age group. “The race was extremely rewarding,” Ollie said. “I’m looking forward to it next year.”

Going against the tide of flocking to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holiday experiences.
During the week-long public holiday, which ended on Oct 7, large numbers of vacationers, especially young professionals who long to escape hectic city life, avoided popular holiday destinations in order to get off the beaten track and enjoy some peace and quiet.
According to data from online travel agency Qunar, as cited by Beijing Daily, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year on year.
Some young professionals who normally have little time for themselves simply had a staycation in a hotel to make the much-awaited time more relaxing.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations, which often involve pricey tickets, meals and hotel stays.
“Tourism used to be about sightseeing. Now it is about experiences,” Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy, told Beijing Daily.
He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become more mature travelers, they are increasingly reluctant to follow the herd.
In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” and “standardized” as developed ones and are able to offer more authentic experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts. And unlike popular destinations, some underexplored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises.
COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. A traveler has no way of knowing what lies ahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by a sudden outbreak. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher at the Beijing-based public policy think tank Pangoal, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market and is an opportunity for growth comparable to the camping economy.
To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underrated, lesser-known destinations.
8. Young people like reverse tourism in that __________.
A. They have a desire to save on the cost of trips.
B. They long to book the cheapest hotel.
C. They want to enjoy their relaxing break.
D. Reverse tourism has become a trend in China.
9. The underlined part “get off the beaten track” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by__________.
A. Start the old route B. Break the routine
C. Take easy paths D. Travel long distances
10. Which of the following statements cannot account for the rise of reverse tourism
A. Tourists spend less than usual.
B. COVID-19 makes tourists more cautious.
C. Tourists can get a better sense of experience.
D. It has already been commercialized.
11. What is Jiang’s attitude towards reverse tourism according to the last two paragraphs
A. Its development will be affected by Covid-19.
B. It has a better future than the camping economy.
C. Lesser-known resorts should try to develop further.
D. It forces popular destinations to improve themselves.
D
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) recently announced that they have figured out how to engineer a biofilm (生物膜) that harvests the energy in evaporation (蒸发) and changes it to electricity. This biofilm, which was announced in Nature Communications, has the potential to revolutionize the world of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics.
“This is a very exciting technology, says Liu Xiaomeng, a graduate student in electrical and computer engineering in UMass Amherst’s College of Engineering and the paper’s lead author. “It generates real green energy, and unlike other so-called ‘green-energy’ sources, its production is totally green.”
That is because this biofilm—which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper—is produced naturally by an engineered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. G sulfurreducens is known to produce electricity and has been used previously in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require that G sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet. By contrast, this new biofilm, which can supply as much energy as a comparably sized battery, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it is dead, it doesn’t need to be fed.
The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture (水分) on your skin. While we daily read stories about solar power, at least 50% of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. “This is a huge, undiscovered source of energy,” says Yao Jun, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass Amherst, and the paper’s one senior author. Since the surface of our skin is constantly moist with sweat, the biofilm can “plug into” it and change the energy locked in evaporation into sufficient energy to power small equipment. “Our next step is to increase the size of our film to power more intelligent wearable electronics,” says Yao, and Liu points out that one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment.
12. Which of the following can biofilm do according to the first paragraph
A. Update wearable electronics. B. Get power from evaporation.
C. Supply energy to microbial batteries. D. Transform the way of generating electricity.
13. What is the advantage of the biofilm compared with “microbial batteries”
A. It is comparatively thinner. B. It is environmentally friendly.
C. It adopts a rare energy source. D. It decreases the cost in usage.
14. How does the biofilm power small devices
A. By interacting with solar power. B. By making electricity out of sweat.
C. By gaining energy from electronic system. D. By employing water to generate electricity.
15. Which of the following best describes the biofilm
A. Intelligent. B. Flexible. C. Delicate. D. Promising.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语练写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A little bird landed on the tree branch outside Lisa’s bedroom window. It sang energetically as the first pale yellow rays of sunshine appeared.
“Oh, my god, what is that noise ” Lisa complained to herself, pulling her bed sheets over her head to ignore the sound. It was no use, and she knew it. The loud sound showed the coming of the day. Lisa’s mom knocked twice on her door, and then came in with a smile. “Time to get up, Sleepyhead,” She whispered. “The early bird catches the worm, you know.”
“Ugh,” mumbled (含含糊糊地说) Lisa into her pillow. “What does that even mean ”
“It’s just an expression, Honey”, her mom replied. She gave Lisa a kiss on the cheek and urged her to get out of bed. Lisa rolled over and slept for a few more minutes.
With her mom’s repeated urging, Lisa had no choice but to get herself dressed. She went unwillingly downstairs for breakfast, ate slowly, and missed her bus. When she finally got to school, she failed to get a place in the Chess Club. She also missed the first part of math class, so she didn’t understand the lesson and had to get extra help at lunchtime. Her teacher gave her extra homework to make sure she knew it. As a result, she missed her favourite library time. This day was no fun.
The next morning, Lisa was woken up by the same loud noisy song. Instead of ignoring it, today Lisa walked over to the window and opened the curtains. “Well, hello there, little fellow,” she said when she saw the pretty bird outside, still singing happily. As she watched, the bird stuck its beak (喙) into the wet ground, and pulled out a wiggling (不停摇摆) worm for breakfast.
“Today I am going to be the early bird,” thought Lisa.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At lunchtime, Lisa finished her lunch early and had time to go to the library.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述“逆向旅游”受年轻人青睐，前景看好。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Going against the tide of flocking to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holiday experiences.(在中国，越来越多的度假者倾向于把闲暇时间花在不太知名的度假胜地，以寻求独特、轻松的度假体验，这与人们在度假时蜂拥前往知名但普遍拥挤的旅游目的地的潮流相反)”可知，年轻人喜欢逆向旅游是因为他们想要享受放松的休息时间。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线部分前的“avoided popular holiday destinations(避开热门度假目的地)”可知，本句意为“在十一假期期间，大量度假者，尤其是渴望逃离繁忙城市生活的年轻职场人士，为了不走寻常路，享受一些闲适与宁静，而避开了热门度假目的地”，因此get off the beaten track意为“打破常规”。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations, which often involve pricey tickets, meals and hotel stays.(除了拥挤的人群之外，一些度假者选择人迹罕至的地方，是为了节省前往热门目的地的旅行费用，因为前往热门目的地的机票、餐饮和酒店住宿往往都很昂贵)”和第八段中“In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as ‘commercial’ and ‘standardized’ as developed ones and are able to offer more authentic experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts.(此外，据社交媒体帖子称，不太知名的景点不像发达景点那样‘商业化’和‘标准化’，能够提供更真实的经历和自然体验)”以及倒数第三段中“COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism.(COVID-19是推动逆向旅游的另一个关键因素)”和“Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.(因此，旅行者变得更加谨慎，倾向于选择当地景点或游客较少的地方)”可知，“逆向旅游”受欢迎是由于游客想要节省费用，并且它可以让游客获得更好的体验，加之COVID-19让游客变得更加谨慎，D项“它已经变得商业化”不是其受欢迎的原因。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Jiang Han, a senior researcher at the Beijing-based public policy think tank Pangoal, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market and is an opportunity for growth comparable to the camping economy.(位于北京的公共政策研究机构盘古智库的高级研究员江瀚说，逆向旅游将成为未来旅游市场的趋势之一，其发展机会可以与露营经济相媲美)”以及最后一段“To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underrated, lesser-known destinations.(为了真正提振旅游市场，江建议，要更加努力地挖掘那些被低估、不太为人所知的目的地的潜力)”可知，江认为逆向旅游将成为未来旅游市场的趋势之一，应该进一步发展知名度较低的度假村。故选C。
D
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) recently announced that they have figured out how to engineer a biofilm (生物膜) that harvests the energy in evaporation (蒸发) and changes it to electricity. This biofilm, which was announced in Nature Communications, has the potential to revolutionize the world of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics.
“This is a very exciting technology, says Liu Xiaomeng, a graduate student in electrical and computer engineering in UMass Amherst’s College of Engineering and the paper’s lead author. “It generates real green energy, and unlike other so-called ‘green-energy’ sources, its production is totally green.”
That is because this biofilm—which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper—is produced naturally by an engineered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. G sulfurreducens is known to produce electricity and has been used previously in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require that G sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet. By contrast, this new biofilm, which can supply as much energy as a comparably sized battery, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it is dead, it doesn’t need to be fed.
The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture (水分) on your skin. While we daily read stories about solar power, at least 50% of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. “This is a huge, undiscovered source of energy,” says Yao Jun, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass Amherst, and the paper’s one senior author. Since the surface of our skin is constantly moist with sweat, the biofilm can “plug into” it and change the energy locked in evaporation into sufficient energy to power small equipment. “Our next step is to increase the size of our film to power more intelligent wearable electronics,” says Yao, and Liu points out that one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment.
12. Which of the following can biofilm do according to the first paragraph
A. Update wearable electronics. B. Get power from evaporation.
C. Supply energy to microbial batteries. D. Transform the way of generating electricity.
13. What is the advantage of the biofilm compared with “microbial batteries”
A. It is comparatively thinner. B. It is environmentally friendly.
C. It adopts a rare energy source. D. It decreases the cost in usage.
14. How does the biofilm power small devices
A. By interacting with solar power. B. By making electricity out of sweat.
C. By gaining energy from electronic system. D. By employing water to generate electricity.
15. Which of the following best describes the biofilm
A. Intelligent. B. Flexible. C. Delicate. D. Promising.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种生物膜，可以在蒸发过程中收集能量，并将其转化为电能。并且其生产也是真正的绿色环保。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) recently announced that they have figured out how to engineer a biofilm (生物膜) that harvests the energy in evaporation (蒸发) and changes it to electricity.(马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校（UMass Amherst）的研究人员最近宣布，他们已经找到了如何设计一种生物膜，可以在蒸发过程中收集能量，并将其转化为电能。)”可知，生物膜从蒸发中获取能量，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“That is because this biofilm—which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper—is produced naturally by an engineered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. G sulfurreducens is known to produce electricity and has been used previously in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require that G sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet. By contrast, this new biofilm, which can supply as much energy as a comparably sized battery, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it is dead, it doesn’t need to be fed.(这是因为这种生物膜是一层细菌细胞，薄如一张纸，是由一种工程版本的硫还原地质杆菌自然产生的。众所周知，硫还原地质杆菌可以发电，以前曾用于“微生物电池”，为电气设备提供动力。但是这样的电池需要硫还原G得到适当的照顾和持续的饮食。相比之下，这种新的生物膜可以提供与同等大小的电池一样多的能量，因为它是死的，所以它可以持续工作。因为它已经死了，所以不需要喂食。)” 可知，生物膜与微生物电池相比，其优势是不需要喂食，可以持久工作。所以更经济实惠，节省使用过程中的费用。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since the surface of our skin is constantly moist with sweat, the biofilm can “plug into” it and change the energy locked in evaporation into sufficient energy to power small equipment.(由于我们的皮肤表面不断被汗水浸湿，生物膜可以“插入”它，将锁定在蒸发中的能量转化为足够的能量来驱动小型设备。)”可知，生物膜通过蒸发皮肤表面的汗水从而获得能量，为小型设备供电。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文化最后一段中“Liu points out that one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment.(刘指出，其中一个目标是给整个电子系统提供电量，而不是给单个设备提供电量。)”可知，生物膜是一种非常富有前景的绿色能源。故选D。

【导语】本文是记叙文。本文讲述了卢埃林亲王的狗格勒特救了他儿子的性命，但亲王误杀了狗。尽管格勒特的墓碑存在，有人对故事的真实性表示怀疑。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：回到家，他刚出生的儿子正在睡觉，他忠实的狗格勒特守护着他。分析句子结构可知，sleep作本句谓语，根据句意，描述的是过去正在发生的事，用过去进行时，主语是his newborn son，为第三人称单数。故填was sleeping。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：回到家，他刚出生的儿子正在睡觉，他忠实的狗格勒特守护着他。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，faith的形容词形式是faithful。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当王子骑马穿过森林时，他听到从房子的方向传来了响亮的犬吠声。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词heard，所以come用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语loud barking之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填coming。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：当卢埃林王子走进门时，格勒特跳起来迎接他，脸上挂着灿烂笑容。此处是固定搭配：greet sb. with a smile意为“微笑地问候某人”。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：盛怒之下，他拿起剑朝那条狗挥去。分析句子结构可知，空处和前文的took并列，一起作谓语，用一般过去时。故填swung。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在他杀死狗之后，他看到了一只死狼的尸体，意识到之前有过一场战斗。分析句子结构可知，此处是that引导的宾语从句，be作从句谓语，根据realized以及句意可知，描述的是过去的过去，用过去完成时。故填had been。
【42题详解】
考查强调句型。句意：直到那时，王子才意识到格勒特把孩子藏了起来，杀死了狼。分析句子结构可知，it was not until...that...。这是两个句型的叠加：not until...引导时间状语；而 it was ...that ...是强调句型。故填that。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：直到那时，王子才意识到格勒特把孩子藏了起来，杀死了狼。分析句子结构可知，此处是省略that的宾语从句，hide作从句谓语，根据realized以及句意可知，描述的是过去的过去，用过去完成时。故填had hidden。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，有些人不相信这个故事是真实的，尽管在威尔士有盖勒特的墓碑。根据前文“Very touching, isn’t it ”和后文“some people do not believe the story to be true”可知，两句是转折关系，应用however连接，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填However。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，有些人不相信这个故事是真实的，尽管在威尔士有盖勒特的墓碑。空前是定冠词，所以空出应填名词作宾语，exist的名词形式是existence。故填existence.

A little bird landed on the tree branch outside Lisa’s bedroom window. It sang energetically as the first pale yellow rays of sunshine appeared.
“Oh, my god, what is that noise ” Lisa complained to herself, pulling her bed sheets over her head to ignore the sound. It was no use, and she knew it. The loud sound showed the coming of the day. Lisa’s mom knocked twice on her door, and then came in with a smile. “Time to get up, Sleepyhead,” She whispered. “The early bird catches the worm, you know.”
“Ugh,” mumbled (含含糊糊地说) Lisa into her pillow. “What does that even mean ”
“It’s just an expression, Honey”, her mom replied. She gave Lisa a kiss on the cheek and urged her to get out of bed. Lisa rolled over and slept for a few more minutes.
With her mom’s repeated urging, Lisa had no choice but to get herself dressed. She went unwillingly downstairs for breakfast, ate slowly, and missed her bus. When she finally got to school, she failed to get a place in the Chess Club. She also missed the first part of math class, so she didn’t understand the lesson and had to get extra help at lunchtime. Her teacher gave her extra homework to make sure she knew it. As a result, she missed her favourite library time. This day was no fun.
The next morning, Lisa was woken up by the same loud noisy song. Instead of ignoring it, today Lisa walked over to the window and opened the curtains. “Well, hello there, little fellow,” she said when she saw the pretty bird outside, still singing happily. As she watched, the bird stuck its beak (喙) into the wet ground, and pulled out a wiggling (不停摇摆) worm for breakfast.
“Today I am going to be the early bird,” thought Lisa.

At lunchtime, Lisa finished her lunch early and had time to go to the library.

【答案】“Today I am going to be the early bird,” thought Lisa. She raced through breakfast and hit the road. With each step, Lisa felt a surge of energy and determination, ready to seize the day ahead. Catching the earliest bus in time, she was one of the first kids to enter her classroom. Her teacher reminded her that there were only a few spots left in the Robotics Club, and if she was interested, she needed to sign up right away. Lisa was indeed interested! She wrote her name down in one of the last spaces immediately, her eyes twinkling with merriment.
At lunchtime, Lisa finished her lunch early and had time to go to the library. She browsed through the shelves, searching for a book she had been meant to read. As she immersed herself in the pages, she discovered a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. Today turned out to be pretty awesome. “Wow, it sounds like you had a great day, Lisa,” Her mom said later when Lisa went home and told her all about it at dinnertime. “Just call me the early bird,” said Lisa, with a grin.The early bird indeed caught the worm of opportunity.
