If you’re looking to enhance your fitness journey, here are some must-reads.
The One-Minute Workout by Martin Gibala
For many of us, the problem is not to improve a workout, but to find time to exercise at all. Gibala’s eight fundamental interval workouts and four micro-workouts can be used as an alternative to quickly increase strength and endurance in hardly any time! It’s considered to be one of the best fitness books for beginners!
The Champion’s Mind by Jim Afremow
In his book, sports psychologist Jim Afremow. PhD, talks about how to stick to goals and keep yourself challenged over time. Though written with athletes in mind. this book would inspire anyone to approach their long-term goals.
How Bad Do You Want It by Matt Fitzgerald
This book is a great look into the attitude it takes to truly push yourself to those ultimate limits. I’ve had many runners who recommend this book themselves when I ask for favorites. I think it’s just a book that helps you figure out how to dig deep and what’s happening when you feel like stopping.
Becoming a Supple Leopard by Glen Cordoza
The book features hundreds of step-by-step photos for popular exercises like squats and kettlebell swings pointing out common mistakes. It’s a top resource for staying healthy and injury-free!
21. Who would most probably choose the book written by Gibala

When we think of pioneering organizations in technology, Apple and OpenAI often dominate the conversation. However. Transport for London (TIL), managing the London Underground, also does remarkable work.
In an innovative move, TfL transformed Willesden Green, a station in North West London, into a “smart” station by integrating AI image recognition technology with existing CCTV systems. The upgraded cameras could then intelligently analyze video to monitor activities within the station, similar to human observation but with greater efficiency.
This cutting-edge technology, relatively new yet rapidly developing, enhances the operational capabilities of the Tube’s staff. For instance, the AI system was programmed to detect individuals who may need immediate assistance, such as those who have fallen. Once detected, a warning would be sent to station staff via iPads. enabling them to quickly provide the necessary help.
The system also addressed safety concerns by identifying passengers standing dangerously close to the platform edge and flagging them up to staff, leading to intervention to prevent potential accidents. Moreover. the AI was capable of recognizing prohibited items like knives and guns, and behaviors such as ticket avoidance by jumping over ticket barriers.
One of the more advanced features of this AI system was its ability to identify “aggressive （攻击性的） behavior”. a challenging task given the subjective nature of visual signals. TfL tackled this by setting a warning for when an individual raises both arms—a movement often linked with aggression or trouble. This feature not only aids in spotting potential threats but also serves as a quiet emergency signal for staff who might feel threatened and are unable to call for help conventionally.
Despite its benefits, the use of AI in public monitoring is not without its debates, especially concerning privacy and the potential for misuse. However, with appropriate rules, the potential of AI to enhance productivity, security, and efficiency in public transport systems like the London Underground is vast.
24. What makes Transport for London a pioneer in technology
A. Discontinuation of CCTV systems. B. Effectiveness of human observation.
C. Cooperation with OpenAI company. D. Use of AI for smart camera systems.
25. What do the underlined words “flagging them up” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Assisting them. B. Avoiding them. C. Highlighting them. D. Offering them flags.
26. How does this technology empower station staff
A. By punishing passengers’ misbehavior. B. By ensuring a secure working environment.
C. By minimizing real-time monitoring needs. D. By detecting potentially collapsing platforms.
27. Which of the following best describes this technology
A. Ineffective. B. Transformative C. Short-lived. D. Nonessential.
C
A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees （大黄蜂）: These insects can survive underwater for up to a week. This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating （冬眠的） queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.
Nigel Raine, a professor in the school of environmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead author, expressed his astonishment at the results. To further explore this phenomenon, Raine and his team conducted an experiment involving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discovered that those placed underwater for up to seven days had similar survival rates to those not, indicating that the bees’ ability to survive such conditions may be more common than previously thought.
The research underlines the strength of bumblebees during their hibernation period. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplored. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alone in small holes during the cold months, which are believed to protect them from flooding. However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions.
Given these findings, one possible explanation for their survival is diapause, a state of suspended growth and reproduction characterized by reduced oxygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may close their spiracles （气孔） to prevent water from entering their bodies, and they might also breathe through their skin. This energy-saving mode is likely a key factor in their ability to survive beneath the water.
Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species.
28. What do we know about the finding
A. It matched prior beliefs. B. It concerned sea insects.
C. It was fully anticipated. D. It was made by accident.
29. What can be inferred about bumblebees from paragraph 3
A. They hibernate in groups for protection. B. They are always protected from flooding.
C. They have a hidden adaptation mechanism. D. They reproduce better in flooded conditions.
30. What may Nigel Raine do in the future
A. Secure research patents. B. Prioritize dietary security.
C. Conduct further research. D. Raise ecological awareness.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Bumblebee Reproductive Habits B. Bumblebee Hibernation Patterns

When Celia Barberena retired in 2012 after a long career in higher education, she faced a new challenge: how to spend her retirement. While some view retirement as a time to relax and enjoy life without pressure, Barberena wanted to engage in something meaningful. At 67, she decided that volunteering would be her new focus.
Barberena believes that volunteering helps keep her mind sharp, and recent research backs her up. A study presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference indicated that volunteering is connected with better scores on cognitive （认知） function tests. Volunteers are vital to communities, and many organizations rely on their contributions. Donna McCullough, Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer at the Alzheimer’s Association, hopes these findings will inspire people to volunteer not just for community but also for potential brain health benefits.
This research stands out because it included a diverse population of nearly 2,500 participants who varied in race. background, and education levels. Previous studies have found positive links between volunteering and cognitive function； however, when it comes to the new research, it found that those who volunteered performed better on tests of planning, attention focusing, task prioritization, and memory recall, regardless of their age, gender, education, or income.
Now 75, Barberena stays busy with various volunteer roles. She believes that volunteering exercises her memory and reasoning skills. Additionally, she notes that retirement can lead to isolation （孤独）, and the resulting loneliness or anxiety can negatively impact cognition, making social engagement even more crucial.
Volunteering has provided Barberena with a sense of purpose and a network of friends, all of which are invaluable to her mental health and overall quality of life. Experts suggest that the positive effects of volunteering create a beneficial cycle that can help reduce depression and loneliness. Even with physical limitations, many volunteering opportunities are available online, making it accessible to almost everyone. The key is to find an activity that is enjoyable and personally rewarding, allowing individuals to stay engaged and mentally active in their later years.
32. Why did Barberena turn to volunteering
A. To pursue a purposeful activity. B. To enjoy a stress-free retirement.
C. To avoid additional responsibilities. D. To confirm recent research findings
33. What makes the new research unique
A. Its narrow focus. B. Its mixed sample. C. Its high accuracy. D. Its small selection.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Berberena’s gains from volunteering. B. Barberena’s motivation for retirement.
C. Barberena’s challenges in volunteering. D. Barberena’s hobbies outside volunteering.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Volunteering primarily benefits physical health. B. Volunteering should be satisfying and meaningful.
C. Online volunteering is suited for skilled professionals. D. Only in-person volunteering offers a sense of purpose.

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。
In my childhood, influenced by my parents and friends. I was encouraged to try various creative activities. Of course, I didn’t enjoy all of them equally, whether it was my first attempt or after repeated efforts. However, life has a way of leading us to unexpected passions. You never know when a creative pursuit might change your life.
The name of this activity is “painting”. About ten years ago, I didn’t really see the appeal of sitting in front of a canvas （画布） for hours, trying to recreate scenes or images in my mind. The idea of mixing colors and repeatedly adjusting brushes felt tiresome to me. In fact, I used to think of painting as some sort of “coloring inside the lines” activity that young kids enjoyed, but it was much more difficult because there was no outline to guide you.
However, all that changed when I visited my grandparents during a winter break. My grandmother, an enthusiastic painter, gently persuaded me to join her in her art studio to try my hand at painting. She encouraged me to simply express myself through colors and brushes. Hesitant but curious, I agreed and sat down with her, ready to paint. Before handing me the brushes, she showed me how to mix the colors and create different shades, making the process seem more approachable.
Learning to paint, especially for a beginner like me, can be a difficult task. The act of holding a brush is simple, but creating something meaningful on the canvas is challenging. That’s why it’s called painting, not finishing. But with practice and patience, it becomes more enjoyable and less frightening over time. Patience is crucial in painting. It takes time to find the right combination of colors and to let the image in your mind slowly take form on the canvas.
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。
My grandmother had to repeatedly remind me to be patient. Word came that a painting competition would be held in our school.

Participating in the competition was a rewarding experience. deepening our passion for chorus and enhancing our appreciation for the power of teamwork.

第二节
My grandmother had to repeatedly remind me to be patient, I often grew frustrated when the colors didn’t mix as I had hoped, or when my brush movements felt awkward and unsteady. She encouraged me to take a deep breath and slow down to appreciate the process rather than rush toward the result, With her gentle guidance, I began to understand that patience was not just about waiting for a masterpiece to appear. but about embracing each step of the journey and learning from every movement. As I gradually let go of my impatience. I started to immerse myself more fully in the art, discovering a deeper sense of satisfaction in the act of creating.
Word came that a painting competition would be held in our school. My grandmother encouraged me to participate. but I was hesitant at first. unsure if my skills were good enough. Despite my doubts. I decided to challenge myself and enter the competition. I spent weeks preparing, carefully choosing my subject and practicing every day. As I worked. I remembered my grandmother’s lessons on patience, and I allowed myself the time to improve without rushing. To my surprise, not only did I enjoy the process, but my hard work paid off—I ended up winning a prize. This experience boosted my confidence and deepened my love for painting, strengthening the belief that patience truly is a virtue in all aspects of life.

M: Right ... so this is the end of our tour of King Henry the VIII’s state apartments, the most famous part of Hampton Court Palace. I’ll now leave you to go sightseeing on your own. Let me just tell you briefly what else you can see and do.
You can visit the apartments of King William and Queen Mary. The Palace Kitchens are especially interesting. They are the largest in Europe. In the time of Henry the VIII, 200 kitchen staff worked there to prepare two meals a day for over a thousand people. Audioguides to the palace are available from the Information Center. If you’ve had enough of royal apartments, you can just walk around the Palace Gardens, which are huge and truly amazing. Bring your tickets with you, and they’re needed to enter it. Have you still got the little brochure that comes with your ticket If you’ve lost it, please come and ask me for one. I still have a few here. If you feel hungry, you can have a snack in the coffee shop in the Palace, next to the kitchens, or at the Tiltyard Cafe in the gardens.
We’ll meet again by the main entrance at 5: 30, and our coach will take us back to the hotel for dinner. That’ll be earlier than usual tonight, at 6:30, because we’re having a party later, at 8 o’clock. Have a pleasant time. Thank you.
