A charity club, funded entirely by a man, was established in Chengdu in the early 2000s. It first served as a “home away from home” for rural students attending a sports school in neighboring Aba Tibetan - Qiang Autonomous Prefecture.
The club provided free meals and accommodation as well as training facilities. Gradually, it became known as a Wushu school for children from rural areas and began to attract a steady flow of students, especially from underdeveloped areas in Sichuan.
Some children had already dropped out of school before joining the club, the funder revealed to media in 2017. As these students could not be officially registered as residents of Chengdu, they were not qualified to attend public schools there. Consequently, he employed four teachers to teach academic subjects in the students’ spare time such as on nights and weekends.
A boy, born in Aba in 1999, joined the club in 2009. Before that, he was in third grade at a local elementary school. His father passed away before he was born, and the family had been struggling economically ever since. He heard about the club from his headmaster and decided to go there.
Starting from scratch, the boy spent two years getting ready to represent the club in Sanda &ompetitions. In 2015, the club introduced MMA（综合格斗） and he switched from Wushu Sanda to MMA in 2015 and won his first match at a competition run by Henan TV. “I was not sure whether I was suitable for Wushu when I first joined the club,” he told news media in May 2021. “But when I raised my arms and shouted in happiness after winning the match, I knew immediately that MMA was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.”
4．Which statement fits the club
A. It has evolved into a Wushu school. B. It targets urban students.
C. It has been an entertainment center. D. It charges for services.
5．How did the funder of the club help students with their studies
A. By turning to media for academic help.
B. By qualifying them to attend public schools.
C. By finding teachers to instruct them part-time.
D. By providing materials for them to study independently.
6．What did the boy mentioned in the text want to convey to news media
A. He was born with hardship.
B. His initial passion was MMA.
C. His first win was of decisive significance.
D. He was constantly confident about Wushu.
7．Which words can best describe the club
A. Official and selective. B. Supportive and influential.
C. Exclusive and conventional. D. Temporary and unstructured.
There is a strong smell that comes off Ratna Raju’s farm in’ the southeastern Andhra Pradesh state of India. The smell comes from a mixture of natural materials, like cow waste and untreated sugar. The natural materials help grow and protect crops in an area often hit by extreme weather and heat.
Farmers like Raju say natural materials protect their crops from climate change because the soil can hold more water. And they stress the crops’ stronger roots help plants deal with’ strong winds. Supporters say, natural farming is successful in the state because of government support. Now, these methods should be spread across India’s agricultural lands. Without government support for natural farming, most Indian farmers still use farm chemicals and fertilizers. That puts them at risk when extreme weather hits. Many farmers are calling for greater state investment to help them deal with climate change.
Last December, a storm brought heavy rainfall across India’s southeastern coast. It flooded towns and fields. Early studies showed more than 240,000 hectares of crops were destroyed in Andhra Pradesh state.
Raju said the rainwater on their farms flowed into the ground in one day. The soil can take in more water because it is less solid than soil with farm chemicals. Soil with farm chemicals is dry. He added that planting different crops throughout the year helped keep the soil healthy. However, Raju’s neighbor, Srikanth Kanapala, said his farm was flooded for four days after the storm. Kanapala often uses farm chemicals and fertilizers on his farm. And he said seeing Raju’s crops held strong while his crops failed made him want to learn about other farming methods.
Kanapala expected a potential financial hemorrhage of up to $600 as a consequence of the storm, a sum that constituted a significant economic burden for a farmer in India. “For the next planting season, I plan to learn from other farmers to give up farm chemicals,” he said.
8．What drives the expansion of natural farming in India
A. The limited farms. B. The reduction of fertilizers.
C. The increased use of chemicals. D. The climate impact on crops.
9．What can be inferred about farm chemicals from paragraph 4
A. They help crops grow strong roots.
B. They enhance soil’s water absorption.
C. They ensure soil remains consistently wet.
D. They make crops less resistant to the storm.
10．What does the underlined word “hemorrhage” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Loss. B. Increase. C. Benefit. D. Aid.
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Chemicals: Harming Indian Farms
B. Storms: a Threat to Indian Farmers
C. Natural Farming: an Answer to Extreme Weather
D. Indian Agriculture: Facing the Effect of Climate Change
New research has highlighted the deep link between dietary choices and brain health. Published in Nature, the research showed that a healthy, balanced diet was linked to superior brain health, cognitive function and mental well-being. The study, involving researchers at the University of Warwick, sheds light on how our food preferences not only influence physical health but also significantly impact brain health.
The dietary choices of a large sample of 181,990 participants from the UK Biobank were analyzed and a range of physical evaluation including cognitive functions, blood metabolic biomarkers, brain imaging, and genetics unveil new insights into the relationship between nutrition and overall well-being.
A balanced diet was associated with better mental health, superior cognitive functions and even higher amounts of grey matter in the brain — linked to intelligence — compared with those with a less varied diet.
The study also highlights the need for gradual changes in eating habits, especially for people who are used to tasty but nutrient-poor foods. By slowly reducing sugar and fat intake over time, people may find themselves naturally tend to make healthier food choices.
Genetic factors may also contribute to the association between diet and brain health, the scientists believe, showing how a combination of genetic predispositions（倾向） and lifestyle choices shapes well-being.
Lead author Professor Jianfeng Feng, University of Warwick, emphasized the importance of establishing healthy food preferences early in life. He said, “Developing a healthy balanced diet from an early age is crucial for healthy growth. To foster the development of a healthy balanced diet, both families and schools should offer a diverse range of nutritious meals and cultivate an environment that supports their physical and mental health.”
Co-author Wei Cheng, Fudan University, added, “Our findings underline the associations between dietary patterns and brain health, urging common efforts in promoting nutritional awareness and fostering healthier eating habits across diverse populations.”
12．What did the research done at the University of Warwick centre on
A. The link between exercise and brain health.
B. The association between diet and brain health.
C. The impact of well-being on cognitive functions.
D. The effects of a balanced diet on mental well-being.
13．How did researchers draw their conclusion
A. By observing participants. B. By conducting surveys.
C. By doing experiments. D. By analyzing data.
14．Which of the following is influenced by the amount of grey matter in the brain
A. A person’s cognition. B. A person’s weight.
C. A person’s height. D. A person’s age.
15．What may the two authors, Jianfeng Feng and Wei Cheng, suggest
A. Getting regular brain health checks. B. Improving the nutrition in every meal.
C. Forming healthy eating habits early. D. Promoting health awareness in school.

六、读后续写
34．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。
It started with a phone call from my son, Nate. “Mom, there’s a dog here. She needs help. She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her. We tried, but she runs. I bet you can catch her. Please ” My teenage son’s dramatic plea（恳求） came from a visitor center where he volunteered.
“Not now,” I objected. I love dogs, but at that moment I did not want to take on another project.
“Can you please just take a look at her when you come pick me up ” He had confidence in my abilities.
When I arrived to pick Nate up, I found the dog he described. Her state was bad with all the diseases in a stray dog. She watched us cautiously, her tail giving the occasional hopeful wag before retreating between her legs as she shied away from any approach. Her eyes, however, were warm and pleading. She wanted to connect but she was afraid.
Many years of working with all kinds of distressed animals had hardened my heart. I thought of a thousand reasons why I could not take a dirty dog home. I wanted to get a dog that I could use as a therapy（治疗） dog. I could see that this sad dog was not therapy dog material. Therapy dogs connect to people in ways that can understand human better. I turned and walked away.
I convinced Nate to wait a few days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. Secretly, I was expecting the dog would disappear. But she didn’t.
A friend with a small animal rescue shelter took her for quarantine（检疫） and treatment. I knew she was safe but the dog’s eyes haunted me. That longing look kept returning to my mind, pleading for connection. After a couple of weeks, I gave in and brought the dog home with me. She was quickly accepted by other dogs in my home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a short and strong Border Collie（博得牧羊犬） with gold and white fur. I named her Leala.
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。
A month or so later, at a routine checkup, what the vet（兽医） said excited me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class.

Dear Mike,
I hope this message finds you well. With Father’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been thinking about the significance of this celebration and realized I don’t know much about its origins or how it’s observed in the U. S.
Could you share with me the history behind Father’s Day and how it’s typically celebrated in America I’ve heard it’s a day to honor fathers, but I would love to learn more about the traditions and customs associated with it.
Looking forward to your insightful reply.

34．答案：
A month or so later, al a routine checkup, what the vel（兽医） said excited me. The vet said, “This is a really good dog. You do not see many like this.” His words opened my eyes to a new possibility. Leala was kind to everyone, even the vet who stuck her with needles. Leala had quickly become the most well-behaved, sweetest dog I had ever owned. I wondered if she could be the therapy dog I had hoped for. I made up my mind to take her to the therapy dog training class.
Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class. After a short term training, Leala became the therapy dog I had not dared to hope for when I first saw her. She passed with flying colors. When we started making visits to nursing homes and mental hospitals, it was obvious that Leala was one of those dogs that could relate to the internal pain so many people harbor. I do not know how it works but dogs can inspire hope in ways people cannot. I saw Leala do it. Her transformation was a testament to the power of patience, love, and the incredible bond between humans and dogs.

A charity club, funded entirely by a man, was established in Chengdu in the early 2000s. It first served as a “home away from home” for rural students attending a sports school in neighboring Aba Tibetan - Qiang Autonomous Prefecture.
The club provided free meals and accommodation as well as training facilities. Gradually, it became known as a Wushu school for children from rural areas and began to attract a steady flow of students, especially from underdeveloped areas in Sichuan.
Some children had already dropped out of school before joining the club, the funder revealed to media in 2017. As these students could not be officially registered as residents of Chengdu, they were not qualified to attend public schools there. Consequently, he employed four teachers to teach academic subjects in the students’ spare time such as on nights and weekends.
A boy, born in Aba in 1999, joined the club in 2009. Before that, he was in third grade at a local elementary school. His father passed away before he was born, and the family had been struggling economically ever since. He heard about the club from his headmaster and decided to go there.
Starting from scratch, the boy spent two years getting ready to represent the club in Sanda &ompetitions. In 2015, the club introduced MMA（综合格斗） and he switched from Wushu Sanda to MMA in 2015 and won his first match at a competition run by Henan TV. “I was not sure whether I was suitable for Wushu when I first joined the club,” he told news media in May 2021. “But when I raised my arms and shouted in happiness after winning the match, I knew immediately that MMA was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.”
4．Which statement fits the club
A. It has evolved into a Wushu school. B. It targets urban students.
C. It has been an entertainment center. D. It charges for services.
5．How did the funder of the club help students with their studies
A. By turning to media for academic help.
B. By qualifying them to attend public schools.
C. By finding teachers to instruct them part-time.
D. By providing materials for them to study independently.
6．What did the boy mentioned in the text want to convey to news media
A. He was born with hardship.
B. His initial passion was MMA.
C. His first win was of decisive significance.
D. He was constantly confident about Wushu.
7．Which words can best describe the club
A. Official and selective. B. Supportive and influential.
C. Exclusive and conventional. D. Temporary and unstructured.
There is a strong smell that comes off Ratna Raju’s farm in’ the southeastern Andhra Pradesh state of India. The smell comes from a mixture of natural materials, like cow waste and untreated sugar. The natural materials help grow and protect crops in an area often hit by extreme weather and heat.
Farmers like Raju say natural materials protect their crops from climate change because the soil can hold more water. And they stress the crops’ stronger roots help plants deal with’ strong winds. Supporters say, natural farming is successful in the state because of government support. Now, these methods should be spread across India’s agricultural lands. Without government support for natural farming, most Indian farmers still use farm chemicals and fertilizers. That puts them at risk when extreme weather hits. Many farmers are calling for greater state investment to help them deal with climate change.
Last December, a storm brought heavy rainfall across India’s southeastern coast. It flooded towns and fields. Early studies showed more than 240,000 hectares of crops were destroyed in Andhra Pradesh state.
Raju said the rainwater on their farms flowed into the ground in one day. The soil can take in more water because it is less solid than soil with farm chemicals. Soil with farm chemicals is dry. He added that planting different crops throughout the year helped keep the soil healthy. However, Raju’s neighbor, Srikanth Kanapala, said his farm was flooded for four days after the storm. Kanapala often uses farm chemicals and fertilizers on his farm. And he said seeing Raju’s crops held strong while his crops failed made him want to learn about other farming methods.
Kanapala expected a potential financial hemorrhage of up to $600 as a consequence of the storm, a sum that constituted a significant economic burden for a farmer in India. “For the next planting season, I plan to learn from other farmers to give up farm chemicals,” he said.
8．What drives the expansion of natural farming in India
A. The limited farms. B. The reduction of fertilizers.
C. The increased use of chemicals. D. The climate impact on crops.
9．What can be inferred about farm chemicals from paragraph 4
A. They help crops grow strong roots.
B. They enhance soil’s water absorption.
C. They ensure soil remains consistently wet.
D. They make crops less resistant to the storm.
10．What does the underlined word “hemorrhage” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Loss. B. Increase. C. Benefit. D. Aid.
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Chemicals: Harming Indian Farms
B. Storms: a Threat to Indian Farmers
C. Natural Farming: an Answer to Extreme Weather
D. Indian Agriculture: Facing the Effect of Climate Change
New research has highlighted the deep link between dietary choices and brain health. Published in Nature, the research showed that a healthy, balanced diet was linked to superior brain health, cognitive function and mental well-being. The study, involving researchers at the University of Warwick, sheds light on how our food preferences not only influence physical health but also significantly impact brain health.
The dietary choices of a large sample of 181,990 participants from the UK Biobank were analyzed and a range of physical evaluation including cognitive functions, blood metabolic biomarkers, brain imaging, and genetics unveil new insights into the relationship between nutrition and overall well-being.
A balanced diet was associated with better mental health, superior cognitive functions and even higher amounts of grey matter in the brain — linked to intelligence — compared with those with a less varied diet.
The study also highlights the need for gradual changes in eating habits, especially for people who are used to tasty but nutrient-poor foods. By slowly reducing sugar and fat intake over time, people may find themselves naturally tend to make healthier food choices.
Genetic factors may also contribute to the association between diet and brain health, the scientists believe, showing how a combination of genetic predispositions（倾向） and lifestyle choices shapes well-being.
Lead author Professor Jianfeng Feng, University of Warwick, emphasized the importance of establishing healthy food preferences early in life. He said, “Developing a healthy balanced diet from an early age is crucial for healthy growth. To foster the development of a healthy balanced diet, both families and schools should offer a diverse range of nutritious meals and cultivate an environment that supports their physical and mental health.”
Co-author Wei Cheng, Fudan University, added, “Our findings underline the associations between dietary patterns and brain health, urging common efforts in promoting nutritional awareness and fostering healthier eating habits across diverse populations.”
12．What did the research done at the University of Warwick centre on
A. The link between exercise and brain health.
B. The association between diet and brain health.
C. The impact of well-being on cognitive functions.
D. The effects of a balanced diet on mental well-being.
13．How did researchers draw their conclusion
A. By observing participants. B. By conducting surveys.
C. By doing experiments. D. By analyzing data.
14．Which of the following is influenced by the amount of grey matter in the brain
A. A person’s cognition. B. A person’s weight.
C. A person’s height. D. A person’s age.
15．What may the two authors, Jianfeng Feng and Wei Cheng, suggest
A. Getting regular brain health checks. B. Improving the nutrition in every meal.
C. Forming healthy eating habits early. D. Promoting health awareness in school.

34．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。
It started with a phone call from my son, Nate. “Mom, there’s a dog here. She needs help. She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her. We tried, but she runs. I bet you can catch her. Please ” My teenage son’s dramatic plea（恳求） came from a visitor center where he volunteered.
“Not now,” I objected. I love dogs, but at that moment I did not want to take on another project.
“Can you please just take a look at her when you come pick me up ” He had confidence in my abilities.
When I arrived to pick Nate up, I found the dog he described. Her state was bad with all the diseases in a stray dog. She watched us cautiously, her tail giving the occasional hopeful wag before retreating between her legs as she shied away from any approach. Her eyes, however, were warm and pleading. She wanted to connect but she was afraid.
Many years of working with all kinds of distressed animals had hardened my heart. I thought of a thousand reasons why I could not take a dirty dog home. I wanted to get a dog that I could use as a therapy（治疗） dog. I could see that this sad dog was not therapy dog material. Therapy dogs connect to people in ways that can understand human better. I turned and walked away.
I convinced Nate to wait a few days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. Secretly, I was expecting the dog would disappear. But she didn’t.
A friend with a small animal rescue shelter took her for quarantine（检疫） and treatment. I knew she was safe but the dog’s eyes haunted me. That longing look kept returning to my mind, pleading for connection. After a couple of weeks, I gave in and brought the dog home with me. She was quickly accepted by other dogs in my home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a short and strong Border Collie（博得牧羊犬） with gold and white fur. I named her Leala.
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。
A month or so later, at a routine checkup, what the vet（兽医） said excited me.

Dear Mike,
I hope this message finds you well. With Father’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been thinking about the significance of this celebration and realized I don’t know much about its origins or how it’s observed in the U. S.
Could you share with me the history behind Father’s Day and how it’s typically celebrated in America I’ve heard it’s a day to honor fathers, but I would love to learn more about the traditions and customs associated with it.
Looking forward to your insightful reply.
Best regards,

34．答案：
A month or so later, al a routine checkup, what the vel（兽医） said excited me. The vet said, “This is a really good dog. You do not see many like this.” His words opened my eyes to a new possibility. Leala was kind to everyone, even the vet who stuck her with needles. Leala had quickly become the most well-behaved, sweetest dog I had ever owned. I wondered if she could be the therapy dog I had hoped for. I made up my mind to take her to the therapy dog training class.
Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class. After a short term training, Leala became the therapy dog I had not dared to hope for when I first saw her. She passed with flying colors. When we started making visits to nursing homes and mental hospitals, it was obvious that Leala was one of those dogs that could relate to the internal pain so many people harbor. I do not know how it works but dogs can inspire hope in ways people cannot. I saw Leala do it. Her transformation was a testament to the power of patience, love, and the incredible bond between humans and dogs.
