Luisa Yu, a 79-year-old woman from Miami, dreamed about traveling as a young girl. Now she completed visiting every UN nation in the world, all 193, in November 2023.
“When I went to the movies, I saw this beautiful background about the scenery, the nature, the rivers, the mountains, and that fascinated me,” Yu said. “That’s why I always thought someday I will go to these places and travel.
At 23, as an exchange student studying medical technologies in the US, Yu decided that she wanted to visit all of the countries in the world, but visa restrictions didn’t allow her to travel outside of the country. She decided to explore the US via Greyhound buses. She saved her vacation time from working at Miami, Florida hospitals and was able to take long trips across the US. There are only two states that Yu has yet to visit—Kentucky and Oklahoma.
It took Yu 15 years to get her green card that would allow her to travel internationally and there were times that she worked three jobs to save money to travel. The Miami resident eventually took a part-time job as a travel agent, which gave her many more opportunities to travel to new places around the globe.
In the past 50 years, Yu has been visiting countries across the world, even some that are very tough to get into. She has tried several kinds of meat when she visited North Korea, explored the beaches of Somalia, and even skydived in Dubai when she was 73.
Yu’s advice to people who are fond of traveling is to just do it. She said, “Don’t wait for anybody. If I keep on waiting, it will never happen, because the opportunity sometimes comes only once.”
24. What inspired Luisa Yu to travel
A. Reading books. B. Watching movies.
C. Friends’ suggestions. D. Work experience.
25. Why did Yu fail to travel abroad in her 20s
A. Because of visa limits. B. Because of tight finances.
C. Because of short holidays. D. Because of safety problems.
26. In which place did Yu skydive
A. Dubai. B. Miami. C. Somalia. D. North Korea.
27. What does Yu advise people to do
A. Apply for the travel visa in advance.
B. Try various jobs to get colorful experiences.
C. Look for friends with shared interest in travel.
D. Catch every chance to do what they want to do.
C
Tobacco ruins lives, leading to over 400,000 hospital admissions a year, and ultimately kills two in three lifetime smokers.
Over the coming weeks, MPs (议员) will debate new laws to create a “smoke-free generation”, meaning no one born on or after 1 January, 2009, can be legally sold a cigarette. This is a truly transformative piece of public health policy that could see an end to tobacco use in England.
The policy will see the legal age for being sold tobacco rise by one year each year from 2027. While the proposed age increase approach is novel, we know that raising the age of purchasing works. Smoking rates dropped by 30 per cent among young people within a year when the legal age increased from 16 to 18 in 2007. The drop was closer to 40 per cent among the target age group when it was raised from 18 to 21 in the US.
There are concerns among some that the new policy could drive an illegal market, but the evidence doesn’t back this up.
Since 2000 the illegal market for tobacco has declined from 22 per cent to 11 per cent despite raising the age of purchasing to 18, banning smoking in public places, introducing plain packaging, and continued price rises. Furthermore, the focus of the policy is to prevent people taking up smoking—no one who can currently buy tobacco will be unable to do so—making it unlikely there will be an increased demand for illegal tobacco.
Online sales may also present their own difficulty as the new policy comes into force, with digital retailers (零售商) having responsibility to check on the age of customers remotely. The government is promising “enhancing online age verification (验证) “but it would be far simpler to ban online tobacco sales altogether, as recommended in a recent independent government review.
28. Who will be restricted by the new policy
A. Heavy smokers. B. Cigarette sellers.
C. The tobacco growers. D. The tobacco advertisers.
29. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A. The benefit of the policy. B. The novelty of the policy.
C. The target people of the policy. D. The content of the policy.
30. What do some people worry about
A. The price of tobacco will go up. B. More people will pick up smoking.
C. The tax from tobacco may decrease. D. The illegal tobacco markets will boom.
31. What will happen to online tobacco sales with the new policy in effect
A. It will encounter resistance. B. It will face a new challenge.
C. It will have simplified process. D. It will make more profits.
D
Around and around they go—dogs are often seen chasing (追逐) their tails. There are several possible reasons for this behavior, as well as ways to thwart it.
Puppies and younger dogs may simply chase their own tails for fun. Puppies, especially, may not yet realize their tails are actually part of their own bodies.
Boredom may be another reason, especially when dogs are left alone for a long time. “Anytime a dog is not enriched or exercised fully, they have the potential to be bored,” Russell Hartstein, a dog behavioral consultant said. For these dogs, a simple solution may be to play fetch or take a walk. Most dogs would rather chase a ball than their own tails.
Another reason dogs may chase their tails is to seek attention. A dog’s owner may have rewarded this behavior by laughing or praising it. Even blaming a dog for tail chasing may draw attention that enhances this behavior. To control tail chasing, ignore the behavior while otherwise supplying the dog with a healthy amount of attention.
Unluckily, a number of physical diseases are linked with tail chasing. An injury to the tail, itching; or reaction to some food may cause dogs to bite or chase their tails. If dogs suddenly start chasing or biting their tails, the owners should schedule a visit with their vet.
“Interestingly, we found that dogs that received dietary supplements (补充剂), especially vitamins and minerals, expressed less tail chasing compared to dogs that did not receive any supplements,” Hartstein said. “In addition, compared with dogs that didn’t chase their tails, tail chasers were often shyer and had separated earlier from their mothers.”
If a dog is otherwise healthy, “practicing dog training and engaging their mental and emotional aspects of their lives will help stop tail chasing,” Hartstein said. “There’s no harm in training more with your dog and making sure they are fulfilled and enriched in every way possible.”
32. What does the underlined word “thwart” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Punish. B. Record. C. Convey. D. Handle
33. What can be learned about dog’s chasing its tail from Para. 5
A. It is a normal scene for fun. B. It is an indication of lacking exercise.
C. It is a sign of a problem. D. It is a behavior of seeking attention.
34. What may be Hartstein’s suggestion
A. Practicing dog training at the vet’s.
B. Encouraging dogs to chase tails to relax.
C. Giving dogs a small number of vitamins.
D. Getting puppies independent as early as possible.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why Do Dogs Chase Their Tails
B. Can Dogs Communicate by Tails
C. What Functions Do Dog Tails Have
D. Does Every Dog Like Chasing Its Tail

A few useful sketching (素描) tips can often generate rewarding results. If you are a beginner, you should find something useful from the tips below.
Know your pencils. Having the right pencil to begin drawing your pencil sketch is one of the most essential sketching tips. Pencils differ in lead (铅笔芯). 36 : “B” pencils are softer, “H” are harder, and “HB” sits in the middle. It is recommended to start somewhere on the H scale as a foundation and then finish with the darker B scale.
37 . If you position your hand closer to the end of the pencil, you have more control and precision, but darker markings. Gripping (握) further up the pencil will give you less control and precision, but lighter markings.
Vary your lines. Not all lines are equal. Small shifts in the width and darkness of your lines will create a dynamic drawing. 38 . However, with practice you will be able to create a variety of marks that work together to make an impressive image. Experiment with different pencil grades and with holding the pencil at different angles.
Apply the 70/30 rule in your sketching. 39 ! The 70/30 rule helps you create effective compositions. The idea is that 30 per cent of your sketch is filled with the main focus and detail, and the remaining 70 per cent is filler. This less interesting area helps direct attention towards the main subject of your artwork.
Try different mark-making methods. There are plenty of sketching tips and techniques to help you achieve different styles and effects. 40 .
A. Take control of your pencil
B. Choose the right length of the pencil
C. Actually, such drawings are very easy to produce
D. One of the most vital sketching tips is that less can be more
E. The hardness of the lead is indicated on the side of the pencil
F. It’s significant to experiment and find what works best for you
G. Controlling the kind of mark you put down can be tricky at first

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。
At Piedmont Middle School, a kid could run track or play tennis, but everyone wanted to be on the soccer team. Piedmont and the surrounding towns were pretty small, so instead of having separate girls and boys teams, each school had one team made up of both girls and boys. Laura had dreamed of earning glory for the team Los Halcones ever since the first grade when her older brother Toni won in the county middle school championship. Now he was away at college on a soccer scholarship. The day she joined the team as a sixth-grader, she felt like she could fly.
But, unfortunately, her joy didn’t last. She spent most of the season on the bench.
Walking to the car after the last game of the season, Laura tried to smile at her mother. Having spent yet another game sitting on the bench, Laura hadn’t even broken a sweat. “Well, at least you don’t have to wash my uniform,” she joked, but she could feel tears in her eyes. Her mother said, “You still have chances. Don’t lose heart. Toni once made the same mistake. And now you can watch soccer videos to learn more skills when sitting there.” Laura could only shake her head.
Lying in bed that night, Laura thought back to her first game, the day of her huge mistake.
“Pass, pass, pass!”
“Clear that ball!”
Voices yelled from every side. Laura ran nervously in front of the goal (球门) as both teams rushed down the field. She knew the children in green were her teammates. Those in blue were on the other team. At that time, a boy on the opposing team had the ball when a battle for that ball broke out a few feet from her. Green and blue uniforms swirled (打转) around her, and Laura could barely keep track of the ball. Then, suddenly, it came her way!
“Laura, I’m open!” one of her teammates called from near the sideline. Then Laura kicked the ball.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But the ball went in the completely wrong direction! ________________________________________________

Sitting on the bench for game after game, Laura decided to tell Toni that she wanted to quit. _________________
