On September 17, 2022, a father and son set out to begin the first of three legs of the Ironman competition in Oxford. David, 59, and his son, John, 28, weren’t the typical competitors. Despite difficulty in walking, John has his dream of being an athlete. His father would act as his arms and legs, carrying the weight of his son throughout the race.
To qualify as having finished, competitors must complete a hard 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours. David and John had participated together in five Ironman competitions, but they had yet to finish in the required time.
The race began with a 2.4-mile swim in the Choptank River. With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to a boat with his son inside, the father eased himself into the water. Swimming while carrying another person is tough enough — David also had to fight with jellyfish (水母).
The pair completed the swim in 90 minutes, and went through with the 112-mile bicycle ride in about nine hours, then set their sights on the final leg of the 26.2-mile marathon with David pushing John in the racing chair.
With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line, his mom, on the sidelines, handed him the rolling walker. Not that long ago, John could hardly walk 23 steps. But after years of painful training, he increased his step count and was determined to finish the race on his own. He knew time was almost running out and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. “Not because I wouldn’t get my moment,” he says, “but because dad had worked so hard.”
After 16 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds — with just four minutes and 25 seconds to spare — father and son crossed the finish line together.
As the crowd flooded and cheered on John, the weary father kept a low profile. “He didn’t want his finish line moment,” says John. “He wanted it to be mine.”
1. How did David help his son in the swimming part
A. By pulling a rope tied to a boat. B. By swimming beside his son.
C. By pushing his son’s lifebelt. D. By carrying his son on his back.
2. Why did John worry about not making the cutoff
A. He wouldn’t get his moment.
B. His mom would be disappointed.
C. His father had put in lots of effort.
D. The audience had high expectations.
3. What can best describe David’s role as a father
A. Responsible and selfless. B. Brave and honest.
C. Committed and friendly. D. Gentle and determined.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了2022年9月17日，一位59岁的父亲戴维和他的28岁儿子约翰参加了在牛津举行的铁人三项比赛。尽管约翰行动不便，但他梦想成为运动员，父亲充当他的手脚，全程背负儿子参赛。他们需在17小时内完成140英里的游泳、自行车骑行和跑步。经过不懈努力，两人最终携手跨过终点线，展现了深沉的父爱与非凡的毅力。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to a boat with his son inside, the father eased himself into the water. Swimming while carrying another person is tough enough — David also had to fight with jellyfish (水母).(父亲把绳子的一端绑在背上的皮带上，另一端绑在船上，船上有他的儿子，他慢慢地下水了。带着另一个人游泳已经够难的了——大卫还不得不和水母搏斗)”可知，大卫是通过拉一根系在自己背上和载着儿子的船之间的绳子来帮助儿子完成游泳部分的。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“He knew time was almost running out and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. “Not because I wouldn’t get my moment,” he says, “but because dad had worked so hard.”(他知道时间几乎要耗尽了，担心他们无法在截止时间内完成。“并不是因为我无法得到属于我的那一刻，”他说，“而是因为爸爸付出了太多努力。”)”可知，约翰担心不能按时完成主要是因为他知道父亲付出了巨大的努力，他不想让父亲的努力白费。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Despite difficulty in walking, John has his dream of being an athlete. His father would act as his arms and legs, carrying the weight of his son throughout the race.(尽管走路很困难，约翰仍有成为一名运动员的梦想。他的父亲会充当他的胳膊和腿，在整个比赛中承受着儿子的重量)”以及全文可知，整篇文章描述了大卫为了帮助残疾的儿子实现运动员的梦想，不辞辛劳，承担起儿子的重量，陪伴他完成艰难的铁人三项比赛。这种行为体现了极强的责任感和无私的爱。故选A。

“Auntie Goose Legs”, a Beijing street food seller, was recently invited to a meeting on women entrepreneurship (企业家精神) at Peking University, one of China’s top universities. Her inspiring words moved the hearts of many.
In her 50s, Chen Xiufeng, from Lianyungang city in East China’s Jiangsu Province, along with her husband, Liang Decai, has been trying to make a living as street sellers in the country’s capital for more than two decades. In the past few years the pair began to sell homemade goose (鹅) legs. Their secret family recipe has won them a continuous stream of customers over the years, mostly college students, as they usually operated near campuses such as Peking University. They even took orders in advance and delivered goose legs to campuses by motorbikes.
Last winter, Chen became famous on the Internet after she moved her business to Tsinghua University. Old customers from Peking University and Renmin University of China began half-jokingly calling for Tsinghua University to give back their beloved “Auntie Goose Legs”. A “competition” among China’s top universities for “Auntie Goose Legs” soon unfolded. Related topics quickly topped the trending list on social media, making her a focal point of online discussions, while their homemade goose legs became hard to get. At one point, they sold out all 200 goose legs within 20 minutes.
At the meeting when asked by the host if she felt she was “entrepreneurial”, Chen shook her head, stating that her efforts were merely ordinary means to make a living. Peking University commented in an article posted on the university’s social media account on Friday, stating that entrepreneurship is not only a broad concept, but one that can also represent an attitude toward life.
In Chen’s closing speech at the meeting, she said, “I hope everyone can choose a comfortable pace... Life is a long journey, not something you can cross in one step. You, the youngsters, are full of vitality; everyone is their own hero.”
4. What caused the heated discussion about “Auntie Goose Legs” on the Internet
A. Her secret family recipe.
B. Her selling out 200 goose legs.
C. Her relocation to another university.
D. Her rich experiences as a street seller.
5. How did Chen react when being called “entrepreneurial”
A. She felt confused by the concept.
B. She thought it beyond her capabilities.
C. She considered herself a business genius.
D. She acknowledged it with a sense of pride.
6. What message did Chen deliver in her closing speech
A. Wealth comes ahead of happiness.
B. Rapid success should be encouraged.
C. Take your own pace on life’s journey.
D. Entrepreneurship is the key to success.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。“鹅腿阿姨”陈秀凤，一位北京街头小吃摊主，受邀至北京大学分享其创业经历。她的励志故事和独特的鹅腿配方赢得了广泛赞誉，展现了创业精神不仅限于大型企业，也可源于街头巷尾。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Last winter, Chen became famous on the Internet after she moved her business to Tsinghua University. (去年冬天，陈将生意转到清华大学后，她在网上走红。)”可知，引起网上热烈讨论的原因是陈秀凤将她的生意搬到了另一所大学。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中“At the meeting, when asked by the host if she felt she was “entrepreneurial”, Chen shook her head, stating that her efforts were merely ordinary means to make a living. (在会上，当主持人问她是否觉得自己是“企业家”时，陈摇了摇头，说她的努力只是为了谋生。)”可知，当陈被称为“企业家”时，她认为这超出了她的能力。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“In Chen’s closing speech at the meeting, she said, “I hope everyone can choose a comfortable pace... Life is a long journey, not something you can cross in one step. You, the youngsters, are full of vitality; everyone is their own hero.” (陈在会议的闭幕致辞中说：“我希望每个人都能选择一个舒适的节奏……人生是一段漫长的旅程，不是一蹴而就的。年轻人，你们朝气蓬勃;每个人都是自己的英雄。”)”可知，陈在闭幕演讲中传达的信息是希望每个人都能选择一个舒适的节奏，生命是一场长跑，不能一蹴而就，即在人生的旅途中保持自己的步调。故选C。
C
In a groundbreaking discovery, bumblebees (大黄蜂) have shown a previously unseen level of cognitive (认知的) ability. A new study, published in Nature, shows that they can learn difficult, multi-step tasks through social interaction, even if they cannot figure them out on their own.
Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Professor Lars Chittka, the research team designed a two-step puzzle (谜题) box requiring bumblebees to perform two separated actions to get a sweet reward at the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward at the end of the first step. This reward in the middle was finally taken away, and bees later had to open the whole box before getting their treat. Then some trained bees repeated the whole process for demonstration.
Surprisingly, while bees that worked on their own had great difficulty in solving the puzzle, those allowed to watch a demonstrator bee finished the two steps easily — even the first — while only getting a reward at the end.
This study shows that bumblebees have a level of social learning previously thought to be unique to humans. They can share and learn behaviors that are beyond their individual cognitive abilities. Professor Chittka further notes the implications, “This challenges the traditional view that only humans can socially learn difficult behavior beyond individual learning. It raises the amazing possibility that many of the greatest achievements of the social insects, like the nesting architectures of bees or the agricultural habits of ants, may have initially spread by copying clever innovators, before they finally became part of the species-specific behaviors.”
This groundbreaking research opens new possibilities for understanding animal intelligence and the development of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions and helps us learn more about the cognitive wonders of insects, even suggesting the exciting possibility of advanced culture amongst seemingly simple creatures.
7. What is the purpose of the study
A. To learn how to train bumblebees.
B. To compare bumblebees with ants.
C. To develop puzzles for bumblebees.
D. To test cognitive abilities of bumblebees.
8. How did the researchers train the bumblebees to solve the puzzle
A. By breaking it into two steps.
B. By providing an extra reward.
C. By demonstrating the process.
D. By making the puzzle interesting.
9. What do Professor Chittka’s words imply
A. Both bees and ants are intelligent creatures.
B. Only humans are capable of social learning.
C. Individual learning may not be that important.
D. Bees’ nest-building may be a learned behavior.
10. What could be the best title for the text
A. Bumblebees — willing learners
B. Bumblebees — smarter than you think
C. Social learning — intelligence indicator
D. Social learning — universal across species
【答案】7. D 8. B 9. D 10. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项关于大黄蜂的研究，该研究发现大黄蜂通过社会互动可以学习复杂的多步骤任务，即使它们自己无法解决这些任务。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In a groundbreaking discovery, bumblebees (大黄蜂) have shown a previously unseen level of cognitive (认知的) ability. A new study, published in Nature, shows that they can learn difficult, multi-step tasks through social interaction, even if they cannot figure them out on their own.”（在一项突破性的发现中，大黄蜂显示出前所未有的认知能力。发表在《自然》杂志上的一项新研究表明，即使它们不能自己解决问题，它们也可以通过社交互动来学习困难的、多步骤的任务。）以及第四段“This study shows that bumblebees have a level of social learning previously thought to be unique to humans. They can share and learn behaviors that are beyond their individual cognitive abilities.”（这项研究表明，大黄蜂具有一种以前被认为是人类独有的社会学习能力。他们可以分享和学习超出他们个人认知能力的行为。）可知，这项研究的目的是测试大黄蜂的认知能力。故选D。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Professor Lars Chittka, the research team designed a two-step puzzle (谜题) box requiring bumblebees to perform two separated actions to get a sweet reward at the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward at the end of the first step. This reward in the middle was finally taken away, and bees later had to open the whole box before getting their treat. ”（由爱丽丝·布里奇斯博士和拉斯·奇特卡教授领导的研究小组设计了一个两步拼图盒子，要求大黄蜂完成两个独立的动作，最后获得甜蜜的奖励。训练蜜蜂做到这一点并不容易，在第一步结束时，蜜蜂必须得到额外奖励的帮助。中间的奖励最终被拿走了，蜜蜂后来不得不打开整个盒子才能得到它们的奖励。）可知，研究人员通过提供额外的奖励来训练大黄蜂解决谜题。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Professor Chittka further notes the implications, “This challenges the traditional view that only humans can socially learn difficult behavior beyond individual learning. It raises the amazing possibility that many of the greatest achievements of the social insects, like the nesting architectures of bees or the agricultural habits of ants, may have initially spread by copying clever innovators, before they finally became part of the species-specific behaviors.””（奇特卡教授进一步指出了这个含义，‘这挑战了只有人类可以社会性地学习超越个体学习的困难行为的传统观点。它提出了一个惊人的可能性，即许多社会昆虫的最大成就，如蜜蜂的筑巢结构或蚂蚁的农业习性，可能最初是通过模仿聪明的创新者传播的，然后最终成为了物种特有的行为。’）可知，奇特卡教授的话暗示了蜜蜂的筑巢可能是一种习得的行为。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“In a groundbreaking discovery, bumblebees(大黄蜂)have shown a previously unseen level of cognitive(认知的)ability.”（在一项突破性的发现中，大黄蜂表现出了前所未有的认知能力。）以及第四段“This study shows that bumblebees have a level of social learning previously thought to be unique to humans. They can share and learn behaviors that are beyond their individual cognitive abilities.”（这项研究表明，大黄蜂具有一种以前被认为是人类独有的社会学习能力。他们可以分享和学习超出他们个人认知能力的行为。）可知，这篇文章主要讲述了大黄蜂的认知能力和社会学习能力，这些能力超出了人们的预期，B选项“大黄蜂——比你想象的更聪明”最能概括文章的主旨。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讨论有效沟通的重要性，并简要介绍了四个关键原则：了解听众、积极倾听、清晰表达以及选择适当的沟通媒介。
【11题详解】
由上文“Effective communication is the process of exchanging ideas, opinions, knowledge, and data so that the message is received and understood with clarity and purpose. Learning how to communicate well can be beneficial. (有效的沟通是交换想法、意见、知识和数据的过程，这样信息才能被清晰而有目的地接收和理解。学习如何很好地沟通是有益的。)”可知，上文提到学习有效沟通是有益的，紧随其后的句子应该引出如何实现有效沟通的方法或好处，故C选项“Here are a few ways to achieve effective communication. (以下是实现有效沟通的几种方法。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选C。
【12题详解】
由下文“Knowing your audience can be key to delivering the right messages effectively. Their age, income, education level, background knowledge and experience can all affect how they’ll receive your message. (了解你的受众是有效传递正确信息的关键。他们的年龄、收入、教育水平、背景知识和经验都会影响他们接收你信息的方式。)”可知，了解你的听众是有效传达信息的关键。因此，本句应询问“你在与谁沟通”，故A选项“Who are you communicating with (你在和谁交流？)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选A。
【13题详解】
由上文“Practice active listening. Active listening means giving your full attention in a communication exchange. (练习积极倾听。积极倾听意味着在交流中给予你全部的注意力。)”可知，本空要对主动倾听进一步解释，说明了如何实践这一技巧，故F选项“It includes paying attention to body language, and giving positive feedback. (它包括注意肢体语言，并给予积极的反馈。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。
【14题详解】
由上文“Make your message as clear as possible. Once you have successfully identified your audience and listened to their purposes, needs, and desires, you may have something to communicate. To do this effectively, turn to the 3Cs of communication: Clear, Correct, Complete. (让你的信息尽可能清晰。一旦你成功地确定了你的听众，并倾听了他们的目的、需求和愿望，你就有东西可以交流了。要想有效地做到这一点，就要遵循3c沟通原则：清晰（Clear）、正确（Correct）、完整（Complete）。)”可知，本空需要介绍如何准确传达信息，以达到这些特点，故G选项“Prepare to communicate in a way that achieves most of these characteristics. (准备以一种能够达到这些特点的方式进行交流。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选G。
【15题详解】
由上文“Use the right medium or platform. Effective communication requires you to consider whether you need to meet in person or online. Is your message casual enough to use WeChat, or would a formal email be more suitable (使用合适的媒介或平台。有效的沟通需要你考虑是亲自见面还是在网上见面。你的信息是否足够随意，可以使用微信，还是更正式的电子邮件更合适？)”可知，此部分讨论的是选择沟通媒介的问题，故D选项“Is it more effective to discuss the plan on the phone or face-to-face (通过电话还是面对面讨论计划更有效？)”询问哪种方式更有效，符合上文的语境。故选D。
第三节课内阅读(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面课内节选文本，完成第16至20题。
Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences, but it’s normal to have high expectations when a film of a favourite book is made. There are many times I have been pessimistic or even disappointed by a film of a book I love.
The source material for a film may be taken from classic novels, short stories, comic books and stage plays, as well as non-fiction such as biographies and autobiographies, even those written by ghost writers. All can work well, but why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics And why do some adaptations get lower ratings than others
A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is. Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question for screenwriters to decide what is appropriate for the screen and what to leave out. Screenwriters take creative liberty and sometimes there may be changes to the plot, additions, and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences. I, like many people, have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”.
Another problem area is the cast. Finding actors acceptable to film audiences can mean the difference between success and failure. Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualise characters and have very definite ideas about how characters should look and sound. This is where I think many film adaptations fall down.
Despite the challenges, there have been some highly successful films made from popular books. For me, Jaws, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings all fit this category. And possibly the best proof of a successful adaptation is the James Bond series, the majority of which has been adapted from the 007 novels of Ian Fleming. Perhaps unusually, audiences seem to accept that the actors who have played James Bond have changed so often, although everyone seems to have their favourite. I know I do.
16. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 imply
A. The book is too long to read.
B The audiences don’t like the film.
C. The screenwriters are very creative.
D. The film is more attractive than the book.
17. What is the main topic of the article
A. How screenwriters affect an adapted film.
B. How the film industry develops recently.
C. What attracts audience to an adapted film.
D. What makes film adaptations challenging.
18. Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences, but it’s normal to have high expectations when a film of a favourite book is made. (英译汉)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
19. There are many times I have been pessimistic or even disappointed by a film of a book I love. (英译汉)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
20. What factors should be taken into consideration when adapting books into films
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】16. B 17. D
18. 读书和看电影是两种完全不同的体验，但当你喜欢的书被拍成电影时，你会有很高的期望，这很正常。
19. 有很多次，我对自己喜欢的书改编的电影感到悲观甚至失望。
20. One is how close to the original the film is, the other is the cast.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。许多导演瞄准小说市场，将热门小说改编成电影后却票房惨淡，这是为什么？为什么小说被改编成电影具有挑战性，短文对此进行了说明。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question for screenwriters to decide what is appropriate for the screen and what to leave out. Screenwriters take creative liberty and sometimes there may be changes to the plot, additions, and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences. I, like many people, have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”.”（由于一部典型的电影只有两个小时左右，所以编剧们要决定什么适合在银幕上放映，什么应该删掉，这就成了一个问题。编剧有创作自由，有时可能会改变情节，添加内容，甚至不同的结局，以取悦制片人，导演和测试观众。我和很多人一样，离开电影院时也常常感慨“电影不像书”。）本段在说明书籍改编成电影失败的原因，所以离开电影院时也常常感慨“电影不像书”，表明人们不喜欢电影。故选B项。
【17题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“There are many times I have been pessimistic or even disappointed by a film of a book I love.”（有很多次，我对自己喜欢的书改编的电影感到悲观甚至失望。），第二段“All can work well, but why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics And why do some adaptations get lower ratings than others ”（所有这些都可以很好地发挥作用，但为什么许多改编和重拍电影在观众和评论家那里都失败了呢 为什么一些改编电影的收视率比其他的低 ），第三段“A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is.”（一个关键的问题显然是，这部电影与原作的距离有多近。）和第四段“Another problem area is the cast.”（另一个问题是演员。）可知，短文主要是关于是什么让电影改编具有挑战性。故选D项。
【18题详解】
考查动名词和从句。Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences翻译为“读书和看电影是两种完全不同的体验”本句为动名词作主语，句子结构为主系表结构。but it’s normal to have high expectations when a film of a favourite book is made翻译为“但当你喜欢的书被拍成电影时，你会有很高的期望，这很正常”本句为when引导的时间状语从句，主语为“it is +形容词+to do”的句型，从句为一般现在时的被动语语态。故翻译为：读书和看电影是两种完全不同的体验，但当你喜欢的书被拍成电影时，你会有很高的期望，这很正常。
【19题详解】
考查there be句型、时态和定语从句。There are many times翻译为“有很多次”，为存在句型there be。I have been pessimistic or even disappointed by a film of a book I love翻译为“我对自己喜欢的书改编的电影感到悲观甚至失望”本句为现在完成时，a book为先行词，指物，关系词替代先行词作定语从句中love的宾语，关系代词that或者which被省略，定语从句为一般现在时。故翻译为：有很多次，我对自己喜欢的书改编的电影感到悲观甚至失望。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is.”（一个关键的问题显然是，这部电影与原作的距离有多近。）和第四段“Another problem area is the cast.”（另一个问题是演员。）可知，把书改编成电影应该考虑哪些因素是：这部电影与原作的距离有多近和演员。故回答为：One is how close to the original the film is, the other is the cast.

【详解】考查短语和动词时态。根据中文提示，“过去常常”表明句子应用一般过去时，译为“used to do sth”；“结合”译为“combine”，在这里用动名词形式“combining”作介词by的宾语；“很多实际例子”译为“many practical examples”；“解释”可用动词“illustrate”；“看似很难的知识”可译为“seemingly difficult concepts”。故翻译为：He used to illustrate seemingly difficult knowledge by combining many practical examples.
95. 这部电影以一种非常有趣和聪明的方式探讨了外貌的主题。(汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The film deals with the theme of appearances in a very interesting and clever manner.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、固定短语、时态、形容词。表示“电影”用film，此处为特指，film前加the，作主语，the位于句首，首字母大写。表示“论述”用deal with，结合语境可知本句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，且主语为第三人称单数，故谓语用第三人称单数deals with。表示“主题”用theme，主题只有一个，且此处为特指，theme前加the；表示“外貌”用appearance，结合句意可知，外貌不止一种，应用名词复数形式；表示“外貌的主题”用the theme of appearances。表示“用一种……的方式”短语为in a(n)...manner；表示“有趣的”用形容词interesting；表示“聪明的”用形容词clever；表示“非常有趣和聪明的”应用very interesting and clever作定语，修饰名词manner，且very发音是以辅音音素开头，冠词应用a。故翻译为The film deals with the theme of appearances in a very interesting and clever manner.

A
On September 17, 2022, a father and son set out to begin the first of three legs of the Ironman competition in Oxford. David, 59, and his son, John, 28, weren’t the typical competitors. Despite difficulty in walking, John has his dream of being an athlete. His father would act as his arms and legs, carrying the weight of his son throughout the race.
To qualify as having finished, competitors must complete a hard 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours. David and John had participated together in five Ironman competitions, but they had yet to finish in the required time.
The race began with a 2.4-mile swim in the Choptank River. With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to a boat with his son inside, the father eased himself into the water. Swimming while carrying another person is tough enough — David also had to fight with jellyfish (水母).
The pair completed the swim in 90 minutes, and went through with the 112-mile bicycle ride in about nine hours, then set their sights on the final leg of the 26.2-mile marathon with David pushing John in the racing chair.
With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line, his mom, on the sidelines, handed him the rolling walker. Not that long ago, John could hardly walk 23 steps. But after years of painful training, he increased his step count and was determined to finish the race on his own. He knew time was almost running out and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. “Not because I wouldn’t get my moment,” he says, “but because dad had worked so hard.”
After 16 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds — with just four minutes and 25 seconds to spare — father and son crossed the finish line together.
As the crowd flooded and cheered on John, the weary father kept a low profile. “He didn’t want his finish line moment,” says John. “He wanted it to be mine.”
1. How did David help his son in the swimming part
A. By pulling a rope tied to a boat. B. By swimming beside his son.
C. By pushing his son’s lifebelt. D. By carrying his son on his back.
2. Why did John worry about not making the cutoff
A. He wouldn’t get his moment.
B. His mom would be disappointed.
C. His father had put in lots of effort.
D. The audience had high expectations.
3. What can best describe David’s role as a father
A. Responsible and selfless. B. Brave and honest.
C. Committed and friendly. D. Gentle and determined.

“Auntie Goose Legs”, a Beijing street food seller, was recently invited to a meeting on women entrepreneurship (企业家精神) at Peking University, one of China’s top universities. Her inspiring words moved the hearts of many.
In her 50s, Chen Xiufeng, from Lianyungang city in East China’s Jiangsu Province, along with her husband, Liang Decai, has been trying to make a living as street sellers in the country’s capital for more than two decades. In the past few years the pair began to sell homemade goose (鹅) legs. Their secret family recipe has won them a continuous stream of customers over the years, mostly college students, as they usually operated near campuses such as Peking University. They even took orders in advance and delivered goose legs to campuses by motorbikes.
Last winter, Chen became famous on the Internet after she moved her business to Tsinghua University. Old customers from Peking University and Renmin University of China began half-jokingly calling for Tsinghua University to give back their beloved “Auntie Goose Legs”. A “competition” among China’s top universities for “Auntie Goose Legs” soon unfolded. Related topics quickly topped the trending list on social media, making her a focal point of online discussions, while their homemade goose legs became hard to get. At one point, they sold out all 200 goose legs within 20 minutes.
At the meeting, when asked by the host if she felt she was “entrepreneurial”, Chen shook her head, stating that her efforts were merely ordinary means to make a living. Peking University commented in an article posted on the university’s social media account on Friday, stating that entrepreneurship is not only a broad concept, but one that can also represent an attitude toward life.
In Chen’s closing speech at the meeting she said, “I hope everyone can choose a comfortable pace... Life is a long journey, not something you can cross in one step. You, the youngsters, are full of vitality; everyone is their own hero.”
4. What caused the heated discussion about “Auntie Goose Legs” on the Internet
A. Her secret family recipe.
B. Her selling out 200 goose legs.
C. Her relocation to another university.
D. Her rich experiences as a street seller.
5. How did Chen react when being called “entrepreneurial”
A. She felt confused by the concept.
B. She thought it beyond her capabilities.
C. She considered herself a business genius.
D. She acknowledged it with a sense of pride.
6. What message did Chen deliver in her closing speech
A. Wealth comes ahead of happiness.
B. Rapid success should be encouraged.
C. Take your own pace on life’s journey.
D. Entrepreneurship is the key to success.
C
In a groundbreaking discovery, bumblebees (大黄蜂) have shown a previously unseen level of cognitive (认知的) ability. A new study, published in Nature, shows that they can learn difficult, multi-step tasks through social interaction, even if they cannot figure them out on their own.
Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Professor Lars Chittka, the research team designed a two-step puzzle (谜题) box requiring bumblebees to perform two separated actions to get a sweet reward at the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward at the end of the first step. This reward in the middle was finally taken away, and bees later had to open the whole box before getting their treat. Then some trained bees repeated the whole process for demonstration.
Surprisingly, while bees that worked on their own had great difficulty in solving the puzzle, those allowed to watch a demonstrator bee finished the two steps easily — even the first — while only getting a reward at the end.
This study shows that bumblebees have a level of social learning previously thought to be unique to humans. They can share and learn behaviors that are beyond their individual cognitive abilities. Professor Chittka further notes the implications, “This challenges the traditional view that only humans can socially learn difficult behavior beyond individual learning. It raises the amazing possibility that many of the greatest achievements of the social insects, like the nesting architectures of bees or the agricultural habits of ants, may have initially spread by copying clever innovators, before they finally became part of the species-specific behaviors.”
This groundbreaking research opens new possibilities for understanding animal intelligence and the development of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions and helps us learn more about the cognitive wonders of insects, even suggesting the exciting possibility of advanced culture amongst seemingly simple creatures.
7. What is the purpose of the study
A. To learn how to train bumblebees.
B. To compare bumblebees with ants.
C. To develop puzzles for bumblebees.
D. To test cognitive abilities of bumblebees.
8. How did the researchers train the bumblebees to solve the puzzle
A. By breaking it into two steps.
B. By providing an extra reward.
C. By demonstrating the process.
D. By making the puzzle interesting.
9. What do Professor Chittka’s words imply
A. Both bees and ants are intelligent creatures.
B. Only humans are capable of social learning.
C. Individual learning may not be that important.
D. Bees’ nest-building may be a learned behavior.
10. What could be the best title for the text
A. Bumblebees — willing learners
B. Bumblebees — smarter than you think
C. Social learning — intelligence indicator
D. Social learning — universal across species

Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences, but it’s normal to have high expectations when a film of a favourite book is made. There are many times I have been pessimistic or even disappointed by a film of a book I love.
The source material for a film may be taken from classic novels, short stories, comic books and stage plays, as well as non-fiction such as biographies and autobiographies, even those written by ghost writers. All can work well, but why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics And why do some adaptations get lower ratings than others
A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is. Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question for screenwriters to decide what is appropriate for the screen and what to leave out. Screenwriters take creative liberty and sometimes there may be changes to the plot, additions, and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences. I, like many people, have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”.
Another problem area is the cast. Finding actors acceptable to film audiences can mean the difference between success and failure. Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualise characters and have very definite ideas about how characters should look and sound. This is where I think many film adaptations fall down.
Despite the challenges, there have been some highly successful films made from popular books. For me, Jaws, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings all fit this category. And possibly the best proof of a successful adaptation is the James Bond series, the majority of which has been adapted from the 007 novels of Ian Fleming. Perhaps unusually, audiences seem to accept that the actors who have played James Bond have changed so often, although everyone seems to have their favourite. I know I do.
16. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 imply
A. The book is too long to read.
B. The audiences don’t like the film.
C. The screenwriters are very creative.
D. The film is more attractive than the book.
17. What is the main topic of the article
A. How screenwriters affect an adapted film.
B. How the film industry develops recently.
C. What attracts audience to an adapted film.
D. What makes film adaptations challenging.
18. Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences, but it’s normal to have high expectations when a film of a favourite book is made. (英译汉)
