Like every gym class I have ever taken, I felt like the odd one out. Opening the door and glancing around the room, I seemed to be the only girl struggling. Everyone else, in their fitted tank tops and leggings, not a hair out of place, looked as if they belonged. I on the other hand, with my curly hair now wildly unleashed, oversized shirt, wondered why I had ever bothered to subject myself to a gym class.
Earlier that year, with a healthy dose of encouragement from my family, I decided to give fitness a real shot. I showed up to my university gym for spin class with my stomach in a bundle of nerves. The first time I tried to stand on the bike pedals, I felt my legs shake and immediately sat down. All the muscles I hadn’t used before creaked as they suddenly engaged in rapid movement. It wasn’t until the third class, when I smoothly transitioned to standing up on the bike, that I started to gain some confidence.
Eventually, as my comfort on the bike grew, I became less focused on how I looked and the exact movements my legs and arms were to engage in and more focused on looking inward. I had never considered myself athletic. But now, rather than agonize (感到痛苦) over my weight, I started to reflect in amazement at my body’s ability to lift groceries, move apartments and all the other countless tasks it did to keep my life moving forward.
Somewhere between being yelled at to squat lower, jump higher and push harder, gym class made me realize that while I was wrong about many things when it came to fitness, I was right about one important thing: What truly matters is showing up, not what you wear or your fitness abilities. Because once you show up, the rest gets easier, one sweaty adventure at a time.
4. How did the author feel when she first entered the gym class
A. Excited. B. Awkward. C. Confident. D. Bothered.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The changes to the author’s body.
B. The author’s passion for spin classes.
C. The author’s experience as a new gym-goer.
D. The reasons for the author’s entering gym classes.
6. What does the author think of her body at present
A. She is in pretty good shape.
B. She cares more about her weight.
C. She is critical of her body’s ability.
D. She is proud of her body’s capability.
7. What important lesson did the author learn from the gym class
A. Pushing harder is good for you.
B. What you wear to the class matters the most.
C. Showing up plays a determining role in fitness.
D. Fitness abilities are more important than showing up.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从健身小白到健身新手，从尴尬处境到体能自信的转变经历。健身经历让作者有了重要的体会：最重要的是出现在健身课堂上，只有出现才会有接下来的大汗淋漓的蜕变。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“Like every gym class I have ever taken, I felt like the odd one out.(就像我上过的每一堂健身课一样，我觉得自己是一个怪异的人。)”以及“Everyone else, in their fitted tank tops and leggings, not a hair out of place, looked as if they belonged. I on the other hand, with my curly hair now wildly unleashed, oversized shirt, wondered why I had ever bothered to subject myself to a gym class. (其他人，穿着合身的背心和紧身裤，一点也不错位，看起来就像是属于她们的。另一方面，我的卷发现在被疯狂地解开了，一件超大的衬衫，我想知道为什么我会费心去上体育课。)”可知，刚开始作者走进健身课堂时，觉得自己是一个怪人，自己在穿着，装扮和心态上与周围的人格格不入。由此可推知，作者当时应是很尴尬的。故选B项。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。通过阅读文章第二段内容，结合该段关键句“Earlier that year, with a healthy dose of encouragement from my family, I decided to give fitness a real shot. I showed up to my university gym for spin class with my stomach in a bundle of nerves.(那年早些时候，在家人的大力鼓励下，我决定真正尝试健身。我带着紧张的心情来到大学体育馆上动感单车课。)”，“The first time…(第一次……)”以及“It wasn’t until the third class, when I smoothly transitioned to standing up on the bike, that I started to gain some confidence.(直到第三节课，当我顺利地过渡到站在自行车上时，我才开始有了一些信心。)”可知，该段从作者有了健身的想法，讲到第一次出现在健身课上的心态，接着讲到第三次课时的信心增加，这些内容是对作者从“小白”到“健身新手”的经历的描述。因此可知，该段主要讲述了作者是如何成为健身新手的。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“But now, rather than agonize over my weight, I started to reflect in amazement at my body’s ability to lift groceries, move apartments and all the other countless tasks it did to keep my life moving forward.(但现在，我不再为我的体重而苦恼，而是开始惊讶地发现我的身体有能力举起杂货、搬公寓，以及它所做的所有其他无数的任务，以保持我的生活向前发展。)”可知，作者发现自己的体能有所提升，可以支持她做很多事情，继而保持生活向前发展，即，对于目前的体能，作者是感到骄傲和自豪的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“I was right about one important thing: What truly matters is showing up, not what you wear or your fitness abilities. Because once you show up, the rest gets easier, one sweaty adventure at a time.(我在一件重要的事情上是对的：真正重要的是露面，而不是你的穿着或健身能力。因为一旦你出现，剩下的事情就会变得更容易，一次一个汗流浃背的冒险。)”可知，通过健身经历，作者认识到了“真正重要的是露面，因为一旦出现在健身课上，剩下的事情就是汗流浃背的冒险，如此简单”。故选C项。
C
After nearly a year of frantic (狂热的) lobbying and debate, the EPA has finalized strict new rules on vehicle emissions that will push the auto industry to accelerate its transition to electric vehicles (EV). The EPA expects that under the new rules, EVs could account for up to 56% of new passenger vehicles sold for model years 2030 through 2032, meeting a goal that President Biden set in 2021.
The regulations are a cornerstone of the Biden Administration’s efforts to fight climate bined with investments the U.S. is making in battery and electric vehicle manufacturing, the auto regulations will help shift the U.S. away from relying on fossil fuels for transportation, a senior administration official said during a call with reporters. “Three years ago, I set an ambitious target that half of all new cars and trucks sold in 2030 would be zero-emission,” Biden said in a statement, adding that the country will meet that goal and “race forward in the years ahead”.
Biden added that U.S. workers “will lead the world on autos - making clean cars and trucks, each stamped ‘Made in America’.” The new rules require auto manufacturers to slash emissions of greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide that are heating the planet, as well as air pollutants that contribute to soot and smog. The administration says the new standards will avoid more than seven billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions and deliver almost $100 billion in annual benefits, including $13 billion in health benefits as a result of less pollution.
“That’s going to have immediate benefits in improving air quality but also improving people’s health,” Cara Cook, director of programs at the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, told reporters ahead of the EPA’s announcement. “So they’re not breathing in dirty air, especially for those who are living near major roadways and highways, heavy traffic [areas]. Those are the ones that are going to really experience a significant amount of benefits from these rules.”
8. What does the new rules aim to do
A. To relieve heavy traffic.
B. To conserve the traffic regulations.
C. To hinder the transition to electric vehicles.
D. To achieve environmental friendly transportation.
9. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3
A. Lift. B. Shrink. C. Enhance. D. Accumulate.
10. What’s Cara Cook’s attitude towards the new policy
A. Neutral. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Favorable.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Fighting climate change.
B. Achieving zero-emission.
C. New rules on green vehicle benefit.
D. The acceleration of the auto revolution.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了美国制定的汽车排放新规。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“the auto regulations will help shift the U.S. away from relying on fossil fuels for transportation(这些汽车法规将有助于美国摆脱对化石燃料的依赖)”以及第三段中“The administration says the new standards will avoid more than seven billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions(奥巴马政府表示，新标准将减少70多亿吨二氧化碳的排放)”可知，新规定旨在实现环境友好型交通，故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“making clean cars and trucks(生产清洁汽车和卡车)”以及划线词后“like carbon dioxide that are heating the planet, as well as air pollutants that contribute to soot and smog(使地球变暖的二氧化碳和产生烟尘和烟雾的空气污染物)”可知，新规定应是要求减少有害气体的排放，slash意为“减少”，故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Cara Cook说的话“That’s going to have immediate benefits in improving air quality, but also improving people’s health(这将对改善空气质量产生立竿见影的效果，而且还能改善人们的健康)”和“Those are the ones that are going to really experience a significant amount of benefits from these rules.(这些人将真正从这些规则中获益良多)”可知，Cara Cook对新政策持支持的态度，故选D。
【11题详解】

Often, during his formative years, a 500-year-old ginkgo tree (银杏树) that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for Yang Zhongkai on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded it as one that made their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it. This, Yang recalled, led to long-time heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, the initiator of a team — Zhiyue — dedicated to protecting ancient trees.
“But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets, which are troubled by information silos (信息孤岛), lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.
However, things have changed of late.
Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately, based on individual traits and GPS tracking. They are part of the fourth Light Technology Public Welfare Creation Camp, a science and technology public welfare platform launched by Tencent Holdings. As one of the most influential technology public welfare platforms in China, it aims to encourage more people to solve social problems using scientific and technological knowledge and open up more than 300 AI functions of Tencent Cloud to participants. More than 3,600 teams and 18,000 developers have participated in this influential tech charity platform since its establishment in 2020.
“Digital technologies, represented by AI, large models, and virtual reality, will deeply impact charity through platforms like the camp. Such efforts will create greater value for social development and human progress,” said Guo Kaitian, senior vice-president of Tencent.
12. Why did Yang talk about the ginkgo tree in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the “lucky” tree in his village.
B. To stress the urgency of protecting the tree.
C. To criticize villagers for their wrong wishes.
D. To explain the reason why the tree was dying.
13. What made it difficult to record and manage ancient trees according to Yang
A. Lack of updates.
B. Inaccuracy of updates.
C. Shortage of participants.
D. Lack of real-time monitor.
14. What can we learn about the fourth Light Technology Public Welfare Creation Camp
A. It is launched by Tencent Cloud.
B. It promotes ecological civilization.
C. It targets at inspiring social problem solutions.
D. It is based on individual traits and GPS tracking.
15. What does Guo Kaitian think of digital technologies
A. They contribute to human progress.
B. They will be deeply influenced by AI.
C They benefit a lot from social development.
D. They will boost the development of the platform.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了杨忠凯和他的团队利用腾讯云开发的人工智能技术来准确识别和注册树木，这是科学技术在公益领域的应用。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Often, during his formative years, a 500-year-old ginkgo tree (银杏树) that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for Yang Zhongkai on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded it as one that made their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it. This, Yang recalled, led to long-time heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.(在杨忠凯成长的过程中，一棵500岁的银杏树是他每天上下学路上的常见景象，而这棵树曾连续两到三年没有发芽。由于村民们普遍认为这棵树有求必应，他们常常跪在这棵“幸运树”前，在树下焚烧祭品。杨回忆道，这导致树根长时间受热，从而阻碍了它的生长)”以及第二段““Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, the initiator of a team — Zhiyue — dedicated to protecting ancient trees.(“数以百万计的古树急需保护，因为它们是重要的生物资源和生态文明的象征，”杨说，他是一个致力于保护古树的团队“植樾”的发起人)”可知，本段提到银杏树，是以银杏树为例子来强调保护树木的紧迫性。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets, which are troubled by information silos (信息孤岛), lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.(“但全国古树名木的记录和管理普遍依赖于Excel电子表格，存在信息孤岛、缺乏实时更新、内容不完整等问题，”他说)”可知，缺乏更新使得古树的记录和管理变得困难。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“They are part of the fourth Light Technology Public Welfare Creation Camp, a science and technology public welfare platform launched by Tencent Holdings. As one of the most influential technology public welfare platforms in China, it aims to encourage more people to solve social problems using scientific and technological knowledge and open up more than 300 AI functions of Tencent Cloud to participants.(他们是第四届光科技公益创造营的成员，这是腾讯控股推出的科技公益平台。作为中国最具影响力的科技公益平台之一，它旨在鼓励更多人用科技知识解决社会问题，并向参与者开放腾讯云的300多项AI功能)”可知，第四届光科技公益创造营的目标是激发社会问题的解决方案。故选C项。

The Failed New Year’s Resolution: Three Tips to Get on Track
January is officially over, and many people are taking stock of their progress towards New Year’s resolutions. The fact is that you probably haven’t kept up with them as much as you hoped. But that’s not your fault. ____16____ . If you feel like you have already failed, here are three tips before you let go.
Practice self-compassion
Many people talk to themselves in harsh ways when struggling with new habits, believing self-criticism will help them reach their goals. Research shows, however, that the opposite is true. Self-compassion is more effective for personal improvement, especially when facing failure. ____17____ , try to be kind and gentle with yourself, just as you would with a loved one.
_____18_____
Resolutions are often phrased as definitive goals. I will exercise daily. I will kick desserts. ____19____ . But setting all-or-nothing goals can lead to all-or-nothing decisions that one gives up when faced with challenges. In contrast, intentions focus more on your values than specific actions. For example, the resolution “I will exercise daily” may become an intention of “I want to move my body because it feels good.” This approach allows for more flexibility when unexpected stress arises.
Solve problems by overcoming barriers
If you are struggling to maintain your desired habits, there are evidence-based techniques available to help you. ____20____ . This involves identifying the specific barriers that lead to your quitting something that you want to do. Perhaps you keep forgetting the new habit, or perhaps you don’t understand how to do it. Whatever it is, identify the barrier and cope with it specifically.
A. Set all-or-nothing goals
B. Change your resolutions into intentions
C. One such skill is called missing links analysis
D. Setting specific behavioral goals can be effective
E. If you’re persuaded to give up on your resolutions
F. Old habits tend to die hard, and new habits tend to die easy
G When you are upset about yourself for not keeping resolutions
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. B 19. D 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要围绕“新年决心失败”的主题，提出了三个建议来帮助人们重新走上正轨。
【16题详解】
根据前文“January is officially over, and many people are taking stock of their progress towards New Year’s resolutions. The fact is that you probably haven’t kept up with them as much as you hoped. But that’s not your fault.(一月正式结束了，许多人都在盘点自己的新年决心。事实上，你可能没有像你希望的那样实现决心。但那不是你的错)”可知，F项“Old habits tend to die hard, and new habits tend to die easy(旧习惯难改，新习惯易改)”是对前句说的不是你的错的进一步解释。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Many people talk to themselves in harsh ways when struggling with new habits, believing self-criticism will help them reach their goals. Research shows, however, that the opposite is true. Self-compassion is more effective for personal improvement, especially when facing failure.(很多人在努力养成新习惯的时候会严厉地对自己说，相信自我批评会帮助他们实现目标。然而，研究表明，事实恰恰相反。自我同情对个人进步更有效，尤其是在面对失败的时候)”可知，本段讲述了自我同情对个人进步更有效，所以G项“When you are upset about yourself for not keeping resolutions(当你为自己没有遵守决心而心烦意乱时)”符合本段主题，并引出下文“try to be kind and gentle with yourself, just as you would with a loved one.(试着善待自己，温柔地对待自己，就像对待你所爱的人一样)”。故选G项。
【18题详解】
分析设空，是本段小标题，根据后文“Resolutions are often phrased as definitive goals.(决心通常被描述为明确的目标)”可知，本段主题是决心，所以B项“Change your resolutions into intentions(把你的决心变成行动)”是本段的小标题，其中resolutions为同词复现。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“I will exercise daily. I will kick desserts.(我将每天锻炼。我不吃甜点)”以及后文“But setting all-or-nothing goals can lead to all-or-nothing decisions that one gives up when faced with challenges.(但是，设定孤注一掷的目标可能会导致一个人在面对挑战时放弃孤注一掷的决定)”可知，空处应和后文构成转折关系，所以D项“Setting specific behavioral goals can be effective(设定具体的行为目标是有效的)”是对前文的说明，并和后文构成转折关系，符合文意。故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“If you are struggling to maintain your desired habits, there are evidence-based techniques available to help you.(如果你正在努力保持你想要的习惯，有一些基于证据的技术可以帮助你)”以及后文“This involves identifying the specific barriers that lead to your quitting something that you want to do. Perhaps you keep forgetting the new habit, or perhaps you don’t understand how to do it. Whatever it is, identify the barrier and cope with it specifically.(这包括确定导致你放弃你想做的事情的具体障碍。也许你总是忘记这个新习惯，或者你不知道如何去做。无论它是什么，找出障碍，并有针对性地解决它)”可知，前文说有技术帮助你，后文讲这个技术包括了什么，所以空处应是初步介绍这个技术，C项“One such skill is called missing links analysis(其中一项技能被称为缺失环节分析)”符合文意。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。《清明上河图》是中国历史上极受赞誉的画作，由北宋宫廷画家张择端创作，描绘了当时市井生活。该画不仅艺术价值高，还为研究宋代平民生活提供了宝贵视角。原作一度失传，现珍藏于北京故宫博物院，并通过计算机动画技术制作成数字动画版，供公众欣赏。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：毫无疑问，中国最受赞誉的画作之一是《清明上河图》。这里需要一个连词来连接两个独立的句子部分。根据上下文，这里使用“or”，表示“或者”，用于说明画作的另一个名称。故答案是“or”。
【37题详解】
考查现在分词作状语。句意：这幅画是一幅长528.7厘米、宽24.8厘米的丝绸画卷，上面有徽宗皇帝的名字。这里使用非谓语动词作状语，其逻辑主语是painting ，与bear（带有；以姓名，头衔相称）之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动，故答案是“bearing”。
【38题详解】
考查形容词作定语。句意：这幅画作细节丰富，迅速成为了国宝。这里需要一个形容词来修饰“painting”，描述画作的特点。“detail”作为名词时表示“细节”，而作为形容词时需要变为“detailed”来修饰画作。故答案是“detailed”。
【39题详解】
考查关系代词引导定语从句。句意：在接下来的几个世纪里，这幅画被复制了数百次，其中许多复制品本身也成为了国宝。这里需要一个关系代词来引导一个定语从句，修饰“copies”。关系代词“which”适用于此，在从句中充当介词of的宾语。故答案是“which”。
【40题详解】
考查让步状语从句的连接词。句意：尽管原作一度丢失，但现在它自豪地展示在北京的故宫博物院。这里需要一个让步状语从句的连接词，表示尽管有某种情况发生，但结果仍然如此。可以使用的连接词有“Although”、“Though”或“While”。还要注意首字母大写，故答案是“Although/Though/While”。
【41题详解】
考查副词作状语。句意：这幅画现在自豪地展示在北京的故宫博物院。这里需要一个副词来修饰动词“placed”，表示画作被展示的方式。由于“proud”是形容词，需要变为副词形式“proudly”。故答案是“proudly”。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：这幅画每隔几年只展出短暂的时间。根据句意，这个句子应该使用被动语态。由于主语“the painting”是第三人称单数，且描述的是现在的情况，用一般现在时，故答案是“is exhibited”。
【43题详解】
考查不定冠词的用法。句意：然而，通过计算机动画，这幅画已经被重新制作成了一个动画数字版本供大家欣赏。这里需要一个不定冠词来修饰单数名词“version”。由于其修饰词“animated ”以元音音素开头，故答案是“an”。
【44题详解】
考查介词的用法。句意：《清明上河图》不仅是一幅真正的艺术作品，还让我们对古代中国日常生活有了难得的洞察。这里需要一个介词来表示画作提供的关于古代日常生活的洞察。 名词insight常与介词into搭配，表示“对……的洞察”，故答案是“into”。
【45题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：这幅画的巨大吸引力在于它提供了我们对宋代普通人生活的看法。这里需要一个从属连词来引导表语从句，从句成分齐全，句意完整，用that仅起连接作用，无实义，故答案是“that”。

As president of the Students’ Union at Xinhua High School, I am writing to address a concerning issue prevalent among our students — skipping breakfast, which is alarming considering the vital role breakfast plays.
Breakfast provides the necessary nutrients and energy to start our day. It fuels both our bodies and minds.

To tackle this issue, we can make small changes to our routines, such as waking up earlier to prepare breakfast or choosing quick and nutritious options like fruit, yogurt, or whole-grain cereal.
In conclusion, let’s value our well-being by starting our day with a nutritious breakfast.

第二节（满分 25 分）
47. 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。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. Some described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike—at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and laughter, because I knew there was more to the story.
My sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, she couldn’t stand me. I hero-worshipped her. Her taste was the type of charm, her personality the definition of cool. My clothes mysteriously looked like hers, and even my words tended to copy those I heard from home. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my sister, sobbing every time I was banned from attending movies with her. Needless to say, I was a trouble and an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting, and try as I might, my sister had an extra six years worth of insulting vocabulary (which meant she usually won). After a while, I stopped trying to impress her and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided her, she ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. So that’s how it was between us. Indifferent or unfriendly, she was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me; I had proved to be a panicky, frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day, but to no avail; I couldn’t ride my bike, and on that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour suffering, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
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。
I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That was the day, however, I had a taste of what real sisterly closeness could be like.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside. At first I was skeptical and tense, as I thought she would begin to tease me or at least burst out laughing. She did neither. I bent my shoulders forward and turned my face away, but she gently picked my bike up and gestured me over. That was the beginning. She fearlessly held my hand while the tears dried on my cheeks; she steadily held my bike when my feet shook. She never once let me fall. And for three hours—three wonderful, blissful hours—we learned to ride my bike. No shouting. No fighting. No arguing.
That was the day, however, I had a taste of what real sisterly closeness could be like. She saw through my weakness; I saw her compassion. I got off my bike that day with her permission, and instead of blind admiration, I now had a newfound respect for my sister and for myself. She was both humbled and high before my eyes. The day I learned to ride my bike proved to be my bridge from a naughty, innocent little kid to a wiser younger sister. Since that day, it’s been easier to get along because we have an unspoken respect for each other. The day she taught me how to ride my bike, she stopped being a bully and became my sister.

Like every gym class I have ever taken, I felt like the odd one out. Opening the door and glancing around the room, I seemed to be the only girl struggling. Everyone else, in their fitted tank tops and leggings, not a hair out of place, looked as if they belonged. I on the other hand, with my curly hair now wildly unleashed, oversized shirt, wondered why I had ever bothered to subject myself to a gym class.
Earlier that year, with a healthy dose of encouragement from my family, I decided to give fitness a real shot. I showed up to my university gym for spin class with my stomach in a bundle of nerves. The first time I tried to stand on the bike pedals, I felt my legs shake and immediately sat down. All the muscles I hadn’t used before creaked as they suddenly engaged in rapid movement. It wasn’t until the third class, when I smoothly transitioned to standing up on the bike, that I started to gain some confidence.
Eventually, as my comfort on the bike grew, I became less focused on how I looked and the exact movements my legs and arms were to engage in and more focused on looking inward. I had never considered myself athletic. But now, rather than agonize (感到痛苦) over my weight, I started to reflect in amazement at my body’s ability to lift groceries, move apartments and all the other countless tasks it did to keep my life moving forward.
Somewhere between being yelled at to squat lower, jump higher and push harder, gym class made me realize that while I was wrong about many things when it came to fitness, I was right about one important thing: What truly matters is showing up, not what you wear or your fitness abilities. Because once you show up, the rest gets easier, one sweaty adventure at a time.
4. How did the author feel when she first entered the gym class
A. Excited. B. Awkward. C. Confident. D. Bothered.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The changes to the author’s body.
B. The author’s passion for spin classes.
C. The author’s experience as a new gym-goer.
D. The reasons for the author’s entering gym classes.
6. What does the author think of her body at present
A. She is in pretty good shape.
B. She cares more about her weight.
C. She is critical of her body’s ability.
D. She is proud of her body’s capability.
7. What important lesson did the author learn from the gym class
A. Pushing harder is good for you.
B. What you wear to the class matters the most.
C. Showing up plays a determining role in fitness.

After nearly a year of frantic (狂热的) lobbying and debate, the EPA has finalized strict new rules on vehicle emissions that will push the auto industry to accelerate its transition to electric vehicles (EV). The EPA expects that under the new rules, EVs could account for up to 56% of new passenger vehicles sold for model years 2030 through 2032, meeting a goal that President Biden set in 2021.
The regulations are a cornerstone of the Biden Administration’s efforts to fight climate bined with investments the U.S. is making in battery and electric vehicle manufacturing, the auto regulations will help shift the U.S. away from relying on fossil fuels for transportation, a senior administration official said during a call with reporters. “Three years ago, I set an ambitious target that half of all new cars and trucks sold in 2030 would be zero-emission,” Biden said in a statement, adding that the country will meet that goal and “race forward in the years ahead”.
Biden added that U.S. workers “will lead the world on autos - making clean cars and trucks, each stamped ‘Made in America’.” The new rules require auto manufacturers to slash emissions of greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide that are heating the planet, as well as air pollutants that contribute to soot and smog. The administration says the new standards will avoid more than seven billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions and deliver almost $100 billion in annual benefits, including $13 billion in health benefits as a result of less pollution.
“That’s going to have immediate benefits in improving air quality, but also improving people’s health,” Cara Cook, director of programs at the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, told reporters ahead of the EPA’s announcement. “So they’re not breathing in dirty air, especially for those who are living near major roadways and highways, heavy traffic [areas]. Those are the ones that are going to really experience a significant amount of benefits from these rules.”
8. What does the new rules aim to do
A. To relieve heavy traffic.
B. To conserve the traffic regulations.
C. To hinder the transition to electric vehicles.
D. To achieve environmental friendly transportation.
9. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3
A. Lift. B. Shrink. C. Enhance. D. Accumulate.
10. What’s Cara Cook’s attitude towards the new policy
A. Neutral. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Favorable.

A. Fighting climate change.
B. Achieving zero-emission.
C. New rules on green vehicle benefit.
D. The acceleration of the auto revolution.

Often, during his formative years, a 500-year-old ginkgo tree (银杏树) that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for Yang Zhongkai on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded it as one that made their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it. This, Yang recalled, led to long-time heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, the initiator of a team — Zhiyue — dedicated to protecting ancient trees.
“But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets, which are troubled by information silos (信息孤岛), lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.
However, things have changed of late.
Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately, based on individual traits and GPS tracking. They are part of the fourth Light Technology Public Welfare Creation Camp, a science and technology public welfare platform launched by Tencent Holdings. As one of the most influential technology public welfare platforms in China, it aims to encourage more people to solve social problems using scientific and technological knowledge and open up more than 300 AI functions of Tencent Cloud to participants. More than 3,600 teams and 18,000 developers have participated in this influential tech charity platform since its establishment in 2020.
“Digital technologies, represented by AI, large models, and virtual reality, will deeply impact charity through platforms like the camp. Such efforts will create greater value for social development and human progress,” said Guo Kaitian, senior vice-president of Tencent.
12. Why did Yang talk about the ginkgo tree in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the “lucky” tree in his village.
B. To stress the urgency of protecting the tree.
C. To criticize villagers for their wrong wishes.
D. To explain the reason why the tree was dying.
13. What made it difficult to record and manage ancient trees according to Yang
A. Lack of updates.
B. Inaccuracy of updates.
C. Shortage of participants.
D. Lack of real-time monitor.
14. What can we learn about the fourth Light Technology Public Welfare Creation Camp
A It is launched by Tencent Cloud.
B. It promotes ecological civilization.
C. It targets at inspiring social problem solutions.
D. It is based on individual traits and GPS tracking.
15. What does Guo Kaitian think of digital technologies

The Failed New Year’s Resolution: Three Tips to Get on Track
January is officially over, and many people are taking stock of their progress towards New Year’s resolutions. The fact is that you probably haven’t kept up with them as much as you hoped. But that’s not your fault. ____16____ . If you feel like you have already failed, here are three tips before you let go.
Practice self-compassion
Many people talk to themselves in harsh ways when struggling with new habits, believing self-criticism will help them reach their goals. Research shows, however, that the opposite is true. Self-compassion is more effective for personal improvement, especially when facing failure. ____17____ , try to be kind and gentle with yourself, just as you would with a loved one.
_____18_____
Resolutions are often phrased as definitive goals. I will exercise daily. I will kick desserts. ____19____ . But setting all-or-nothing goals can lead to all-or-nothing decisions that one gives up when faced with challenges. In contrast, intentions focus more on your values than specific actions. For example, the resolution “I will exercise daily” may become an intention of “I want to move my body because it feels good.” This approach allows for more flexibility when unexpected stress arises.
Solve problems by overcoming barriers
If you are struggling to maintain your desired habits, there are evidence-based techniques available to help you. ____20____ . This involves identifying the specific barriers that lead to your quitting something that you want to do. Perhaps you keep forgetting the new habit, or perhaps you don’t understand how to do it. Whatever it is, identify the barrier and cope with it specifically.
A. Set all-or-nothing goals
B. Change your resolutions into intentions
C. One such skill is called missing links analysis
D. Setting specific behavioral goals can be effective
E. If you’re persuaded to give up on your resolutions
F. Old habits tend to die hard, and new habits tend to die easy
G. When you are upset about yourself for not keeping resolutions

47. 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。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. Some described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike—at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and laughter, because I knew there was more to the story.
My sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, she couldn’t stand me. I hero-worshipped her. Her taste was the type of charm, her personality the definition of cool. My clothes mysteriously looked like hers, and even my words tended to copy those I heard from home. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my sister, sobbing every time I was banned from attending movies with her. Needless to say, I was a trouble and an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting, and try as I might, my sister had an extra six years worth of insulting vocabulary (which meant she usually won). After a while, I stopped trying to impress her and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided her, she ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. So that’s how it was between us. Indifferent or unfriendly, she was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me; I had proved to be a panicky, frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day, but to no avail; I couldn’t ride my bike, and on that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour suffering, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
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。
I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside.

That was the day, however, I had a taste of what real sisterly closeness could be like.
