Running from July 19 to August 17, 2025, the one -year exhibition features the world’s largest and Asia’s highest level of ancient Egyptian cultural relics (文物) seen outside the country of Egypt. More than 95 percent of the Egyptian relics in this show are coming to Asia for the first time. It is also China’s first cooperation with the Egyptian government.
Occupying three exhibition halls on the first floor at the Shanghai Museum, the exhibition will display nearly 500 groups of 800 ancient Egyptian relics.

Last year I averaged 9,370 steps a day. My smartphone counted. My daily aim Ten thousand steps. Because goals.
Yet the concept of taking 10,000 steps a day to maintain health is rooted not in science but in marketing. In the 1960s, a Japanese company invented an early pedometer (计步器). Because the Japanese character for “10,000” looks like a person walking, the company called its device the 10,000-step meter. “It was just sort of a catchy phrase,” says I-Min Lee, a scientist at Harvard Medical School. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
In 2019, Lee published a study investigating the actual effects of meeting the 10,000-step goal. The result Some movement is good, and more is better, but the benefits decline at some point. Your personal peak depends on your age. People younger than 60 should indeed walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day to get the best benefits in terms of lifespan (寿命). People older than 60 show the most benefit between 6,000 and 8,000 steps.
The difference is energy consumption. “We basically relate energy consumption to health outcomes,” Lee says. Walking for 60 minutes at 3.3 miles an hour and running for 30 minutes at 6 miles an hour use the same amount of energy. “The older you are, the less efficient you are with your steps,” Lee says. “Per step, older people use more energy.” Thus, they need fewer steps to achieve the same benefits.
Newer studies are moving beyond death rates to ask questions about the way steps may help to control blood pressure and weight. The goal, after all, is not just to live longer but to live healthier. Ful results are not in yet, so Lee's advice is: “Tailor your steps according to what you are trying to achieve and according to who you are.”
24. The concept of taking 10,000 steps daily arises from ______.
A. the findings of scientific surveys B. the formation of a Japanese character
C. a marketing trick D. a healthy habit
25. What does Lee’s research find
A. Walking step targets vary with age.
B. Walking more makes one look younger.
C. Old people benefit more from walking longer.
D. Reaching 10,000 steps daily appeals to many.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The difference in energy consumption among age groups.
B. The contrast between the benefits of walking and running.
C. The reason for setting different step goals based on age.
D. The Jink between energy consumption and health outcomes.
27. What will newer studies focus on
A. How steps change one's lifestyle. B. How steps affect one’s lifespan.
C. How steps reduce death rates. D. How steps boost healthy living.
C
We go through life assuming we’re in charge of our own minds —until temptation (诱惑) strikes. Few things better illustrate how little control we really have. You can know exactly what you should do (decline the second slice of cake or the third cocktail), but that hardly seems to matter when the urge arises. More self-discipline is rarely the answer, though. Instead, if you can understand what’s going on inside your head when temptation comes, you’ll be far better placed to make a healthier choice.
Sometimes, you need to push yourself, the idea behind which, in psychology, is to make the better choice the easier choice. (School pupils eat more healthily, it’s been shown, when the salads are within easier reach than the chips.) So, instead of relying on willpower, stop keeping ice creams in your freezer! Use StayFocused or similar apps to block distracting websites. Change your environment, and temptation will be a non-issue.
For every person, behind every bad habit, there's a reasonable desire: some people eat or drink too much because they're lonely, or smoke to get a break from a busy schedule. Once you’ve uncovered this underlying need, find a different way to meet it: call a friend; take a coffee break instead of a cigarette break. There’s nothing wrong with the need—only with the way you’re currently meeting it. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
It’s a strange truth that we’ll break all sorts of promises to ourselves— yet most of us would never fail to show up at a prearranged meeting with a friend. Involve others in your temptation-resistance efforts, whether it's asking someone to check in weekly to see if you’re sticking to your plan, or never going shopping alone if you’re subject to impulse purchases. Best of all, launch a joint plan, in which two of you decide to give up a bad habit. That turns a challenge into a fun game.
28. What does “that” mean in paragraph 1
A. Temptation. B. Self-awareness. C. Choice. D. Self-motivation.
29. Which should be a good choice if you feel worn out from a packed timetable
A. Exercise strong willpower over it.
B. Keep ice creams within easy reach.
C. Use StayFocused to refresh yourself.
D. Chat with a friend over a cup of coffee.
30. What does the author suggest you do according to paragraph 4
A. Seek partners’ support. B. Leave challenges behind.
C. Keep your promises. D. Say no to playing games.
31, What is the text mainly about
A. What causes temptation. B. How to keep temptation at bay.
C. Why urges set in. D. How to keep life under control.
D
While lifting weights one day, I heard a loud click on my back. I was rushed to the emergency room, where I was told the pain would eventually disappear. It didn’t, however. What I’ve learned about pain since then—both as a patient and as a physician—has me questioning how we treat it.
Vania Apkarian, one of the world’s leading pain researchers, told me the classic idea is that pain continues as long as the injury does, but the injury and pain it produces end up being separate. “Although MRIs (核磁共振) are reliable indicators of injury, they are not reliable indicators of pain,” he says. A review of 33 studies found that among a group of 20-year-olds without any back pain, 37 percent had disc degeneration (腰椎间盘退化) on MRI. And in people whose backs hurt, MRI results have absolutely no connection with their pain. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
This is a really big deal: millions of people in the U.S. alone get MRIs for back pain. Yet 5 percent of them were medically justified, and of those who received MRIs, 65 percent received potentially harmful advice—including calls for risky back surgery that probably wouldn’t have resolved their pain. I could have been one of those people, yet when I took my MRI films to an experienced surgeon, he told me an operation might leave my back worse off.
If MRI doesn’t explain long-lasting pains, what does One major factor is our mentality. A recent trial has revealed the power of therapies (疗法) that target how we think about discomfort. People who are anxious about being in pain are twice as likely to develop long time pain.
A thorough examination of pain and its origins should encourage efforts to make sure everyone in pain receives kindness and respect, as well as access to more than pills and surgical procedures. Fully accepting the complexity of pain can open the door to new and innovative ways to ensure that even if we hurt, we don’t have to suffer.
32. What does paragraph 2 imply
A. Back pain is not necessarily an emergency case.
B. MRI tests can’t give a full picture of one's condition.
C. Minor injuries can lead to severe pain.
D. Bone problems begin to bother the young.
33. What can we learn from the author’s personal story
A. He found his back surgery medically justified.
B. The surgeon misled him about the back injury.
C. A surgery might do him more harm than good.
D. Being a physician helps him treat his back pain.
34. According to the author, what should a patient with long- lasting pain do
A. Consult professionals to receive surgeries.
B. Have painkillers as early as possible.
C. Take comprehensive MRI examinations.
D. Acquire a thorough understanding of the pain.
35. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Origins of pain. B. Killers of pain.
C. Victims of pain. D. Effects of pain.

To the 58 (train) eye, hanfu, the Japanese kimono and the Korean hanbok may look alike.

Here are some of the unique features of the special type of clothes. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126

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。
Ryan Swift was a bright and thoughtful boy with a big heart. He lived in Adams County, Colorado, and attended a small primary school. His teacher, Mrs. Miranda Green, was a kind and dedicated educator who always spend extra time with the kids to help them.
At home, the Swifts often expressed gratitude for Mrs. Green's daily emails, which provided them with ways to help Ryan improve. They sometimes mentioned that the teachers were not fully rewarded for the contributions they made in developing children into responsible adults. Kids were always listening to their conversations, and they were quick to model adults’ behaviour.
As Ryan’s birthday drew near, a sense of excitement grew inside him. He would get this year’s birthday money from his parents, but this time, he wanted to do something truly special rather than spend the money on toys or treats for himself. Ryan decided to give Mrs. Green, his beloved teacher, a well-deserved pay rise.
The next morning after his birthday, Ryan arrived at school with a big smile on his face. Holding his school bag to his chest, he had a secret of his own—he had carefully placed $15 in bills along with a heartfelt note inside a plastic zip-lock bag.
Dear Mrs. Green,
I don’t think that you get paid enough for what you’ve done for us, so will you accept this gift
Ryan Swift
He was the first to arrive at the classroom and tiptoed up to Mrs. Green’s desk. With a bit of anxiety, he placed the zip-lock bag on her desk, making sure it was hidden under a pile of papers. His heart pounded wildly in his chest as he quickly returned to his seat, trying to act as usual.
Throughout the morning, Ryan stole glances at Mrs. Green, wondering when she would find the surprise. The anticipation was almost unbearable, but he knew that the joy on her face would be worth it. “Mrs. Green must be thrilled to have this pay rise!” Ryan couldn’t help smiling to himself when picturing the scene in his mind.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs. Green finally discovered the zip-lock bag when her class finished. Learning about it, a local newspaper decided to interview the Swifts and the teacher.

Mrs. Green finally discovered the zip-lock bag when her class finished. As she opened it, her eyes widened in amazement. After she read Ryan's note and saw the money, her heart swelled with a mixture of emotions. She called Ryan to her desk and returned the money to him. “This is my birthday money, Mrs. Green. You deserve it,” Ryan explained proudly. Mrs. Green burst into laughter, “Oh sweetie, I really appreciate it! Your thoughtfulness truly made my day!” This heartwarming story went viral and became the talk of the campus. (80 words)
Learning about it, a local newspaper decided to interview the Swifts and the teacher. Ryan’s parents couldn’t believe their boy would think of such a thoughtful gesture. Mrs. Swift remarked emotionally, “It is Mrs. Green who taught my son to be such a considerate boy!” Ryan smiled shy. Still immersed in the deep sensation, Mirs. Green expressed her gratitude to not only Ryan but also his parents for instilling such values.
“I’ll always be reminded that our efforts are valued.” Education encompasses more than the transmission of knowledge; it also involves modeling good behavior. (80 words)
