If you are trying to lose weight, climbing stairs as a regular exercise might be for you. Stairs are available in many places. And research shows stair-climbing is more effective than walking on level ground. “Overall, it is a fact that stair-climbing gets you fit faster and consumes more calories,” said Lauri van Houten, vice president of the International Skyrunning Federation. The organization oversees a number of activities that involve climbing.
“How many calories will I burn is the question everyone wants to know,” van Houten said. “Here’s the good news: The overall energy expenditure of the exercise depends on your weight. Therefore, the more you weigh, the more you burn,” she said.
Studies indicate that going up stairs consumes approximately 20 times more calories compared to walking on flat ground. Additionally, descending stairs burns roughly five times as many calories on account of the work from your muscles to decelerate your body movement. That might be all you need to know if you are trying to lose weight. Dr. Alberto Minetti of Italy’s University of Milan has done a large amount of research on human movement — including stair — climbing. It is an exercise everyone can do and does not cost money, he said.
Minetti did the math to explain why going up stairs is so effective for burning calories in a short amount of time. “To move 1 kilogram of body mass over one horizontal meter, you expend 0.5 calories,” he said. But, he added, “If you move 1 kilogram of body mass vertically on stairs, it’s 10 calories. So it’s 20 times the calories moving vertically rather than horizontally.” Trained as a doctor, Minetti has spent his career as a researcher. He suggested that older people and beginner stair climbers watch their speed. Minetti does his own stair-climbing at his home in Milan. He said he often takes a few deep breaths before going up the many stairs. In a scientific study, Minetti makes the point that using your arms in stair-climbing adds extra power. Handrails offer safety, too.
The study notes that handrails are available along most stairs in very tall buildings. Using them increases “the muscle mass involved...” by getting the arms involved, the study shows. “They are relatively small muscles in the arms, but better than nothing,” Minetti said. If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Australian Suzy Walsham would own gold medals. Walsham told the Associated Press that stair-climbing is a good form of exercise for many kinds of people.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Stair-climbing contributes to climbers’ health.
B. Stair-climbing is harmful to the climbers’ skeleton.
C. Stair-climbing is the most effective way to lose weight.
D. Stair-climbing needs high-standard equipment for exercise.
5. Why does going down stairs burn more calories than walking on the ground
A. Because it is an exercise everyone can do.
B. Because you are heavier while going down stairs.
C. Because your muscles have to work to slow the body.
D. Because the overall energy expenditure of exercise depends on your weight.
6. Which of the following statements does Menetti agree with
A. It is unnecessary to warm up before climbing.
B. Using handrails may avoid the potential danger.
C Experienced stair-climbers can pay no attention to their speed.
D. You will expend more calories to move horizontally than vertically.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Calorie Burning Facts
B. A Sure Way to Burn Calories
C. Suggestions on Climbing Stairs
D. Weight Loss Through Exercise
C
The buildings in which we live, work and shop shape our experiences. The construction and maintenance of these buildings also require significant resources. So a growing number of architects are trying to design buildings while keeping both sustainability and quality of life in mind. The term “green building” can refer to one of these structures or to the process of constructing them.
Any structure is considered a green building if it fits certain criteria. Most of these criteria have to do with environmental concerns, especially those related to climate change. For example, green buildings are made of sustainable materials and use water and energy efficiently as well as renewable energy sources. Green-building advocates do care about the humans involved, though; one of the criteria is that the building will improve its occupants’ quality of life.
Sometimes a single feature contributes to more than one criterion. For example, many green buildings have large windows, which save energy on lighting. But natural light also has health benefits for humans, such as increasing vitamin D production, improving sleep and reducing seasonal depression. These windows thus kill two birds with one stone, saving energy and keeping people fit.
The construction process for a green building should also have minimal environmental impact. This means it should be energy efficient, avoid pollution and minimize waste.
A commercial building in Hong Kong, includes numerous features that employ new technology to improve its occupants’ well-being. For example, they cool the building using chilled beams rather than air vents, and then eliminate uncomfortable drafts. In addition to conventional air filters, they also used a paint that purifies the air, improving air quality in the building beyond what a filter could do alone.
It’s just one of the many green-building projects carried out by the World Green Building Council. It is an organization with branches all over the world that collaborates with businesses, organizations and governments to encourage green building. Its website lists numerous examples of green buildings and highlights some of the features that made them successful. These buildings include residences, office buildings and more.
8. What are the characteristics of the green building
A. It should be built in the woods.
B. The essential colour of the building is green.
C. It is environmentally friendly while supporting quality life.
D. The maintenance of this building doesn’t consume natural resources.
9. What are the advantages of using large windows in buildings from the passage
A. They are energy efficient and good for health.
B. The buildings with large windows are more beautiful.
C. They are good for cutting the cost of building the house.
D. The occupants can have a better view with large windows.
10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Cause. B. Activate. C. Prevent. D. Remove.
11. What does the World Green Building Council do to promote green buildings
A. It sets strict regulations for construction companies.
B. It certifies green buildings based on a single criterion.
C. It cooperates with many groups to foster green building.
D. It provides financial support for building green buildings.
D
An early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text prompt — some users even described the video that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text-to-video AI would blur the line between the digital and the real.
If you’ve ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you’ll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a prompt, like “cat swimming in a fish tank”, and the tool creates a video based on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches”, building blocks of data that help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.
Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refine images by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker melting raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its flaws.
One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project was disclosed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence (遵守) to the user’s prompt.”
But there are constraints to Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes people or objects will blend together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can bound from the bizarre spaghetti video to where it is now in a year, these limitations probably won’t last long.
Meanwhile, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools like invideo AI, a product that was created with marketing, content creation and education in mind. It’s perfect for creating online tutorials, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.
12. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. ModelScope was widely praised.
B. ModelScope can correctly analyse text to the users.
C. Text-to-video AI received negative feedback eventually.
D. Text-to-video AI has improved significantly over the past year.
13. How can OpenAI’s Sora improve images
A. By recognizing the objects around.
B. By creating content in various styles.
C. By removing inappropriate visual patches.
D. By working in the same way as ModelScope.
14. What message does the last paragraph convey about invideo AI
A. It may fall out of use.
B. It will be highly profitable.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It will take ages to see the future result.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. A great leap for creative AI.
B. The functions of various AI tools.
C. The limitations of OpenAI’s Sora.
D A demonstration of making a video.

Remove distractions. If you want to concentrate in class, start by removing distractions. Physical removal is the best way to deal with distractions. ____16____ Or if you have a habit of using your phone, keep it in your locker.
Prepare before class. Look over your homework, read your textbook, or review previous notes. This will get your brain into “class mode” and help you focus. Additionally, set up your desk or workspace before class and make sure you have everything you need. ____17____
Sit in the front of the class. ____18____ Studies show that students who sit in the front generally have better grades. Avoid sitting with friends if you’re not tempted to talk. Sitting in the front allows you to keep an eye on the teacher and board.

Taking care of your body. Getting enough sleep is crucial. Aim for 8 to 12 hours for optimal focus. Have a healthy diet with foods like leafy greens, fatty fish, berries, and nuts. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and sugary drinks. Exercise can relieve tension and improve concentration. Try to be active between classes or during breaks.
A. Practice paying attention.
B. Adjust your thought patterns.
C. If your mind wanders, focus on the lesson.
D. Taking notes is another great way to focus.
E. This can help you stay organized and ready to learn.

Two professional boxers were engaged in a thrilling match for championship: the older was called Kapa, 35; the younger Barce, 28. They played six rounds in the first half, ending in a tie for their equal strength. In the seventh round of the second half, the competition was still extremely fierce. The two sides exchanged blows and both were badly hurt.
During the halftime break, there was no longer the tension on the field. Instead, they both genuinely apologized and showed concern for each other. Barce thought about the intensity of the match and felt a sense of respect for Kapa’s persistent determination. He wiped the bloodstain off Kapa’s face with his clean towel bit by bit and then showered water on his head. He couldn’t help thinking of the sacrifices they both were making for this sport. Kapa also cared about Barce’s injuries and gently helped handle them. The audience, who had been watching intently, sighed with admiration at the sportsmanship of the two boxers when they saw this scene. Many people began to applaud them.
After the short break, they proceeded with their boxing. Barce accidentally fouled (犯规) and the referee (裁判) didn’t notice it. Barce’s heart skipped a beat. He knew he had made a mistake, panic and guilt surging through him. Should he let it go and grasp the chance of victory But his inner sense of right and wrong wouldn’t allow it. Perhaps older and weaker, Kapa was knocked down over and over again. According to the rules, after the opponent was knocked down and the referee called three times in a row, if a boxer who collapsed couldn’t get up, he would be defeated. Kapa continually struggled to his feet but failed. The referee began to count, “One, two...”

If you are trying to lose weight, climbing stairs as a regular exercise might be for you. Stairs are available in many places. And research shows stair-climbing is more effective than walking on level ground. “Overall, it is a fact that stair-climbing gets you fit faster and consumes more calories,” said Lauri van Houten, vice president of the International Skyrunning Federation. The organization oversees a number of activities that involve climbing.
“How many calories will I burn is the question everyone wants to know,” van Houten said. “Here’s the good news: The overall energy expenditure of the exercise depends on your weight. Therefore, the more you weigh, the more you burn,” she said.
Studies indicate that going up stairs consumes approximately 20 times more calories compared to walking on flat ground. Additionally, descending stairs burns roughly five times as many calories on account of the work from your muscles to decelerate your body movement. That might be all you need to know if you are trying to lose weight. Dr. Alberto Minetti of Italy’s University of Milan has done a large amount of research on human movement — including stair — climbing. It is an exercise everyone can do and does not cost money, he said.
Minetti did the math to explain why going up stairs is so effective for burning calories in a short amount of time. “To move 1 kilogram of body mass over one horizontal meter, you expend 0.5 calories,” he said. But, he added, “If you move 1 kilogram of body mass vertically on stairs, it’s 10 calories. So it’s 20 times the calories moving vertically rather than horizontally.” Trained as a doctor, Minetti has spent his career as a researcher. He suggested that older people and beginner stair climbers watch their speed. Minetti does his own stair-climbing at his home in Milan. He said he often takes a few deep breaths before going up the many stairs. In a scientific study, Minetti makes the point that using your arms in stair-climbing adds extra power. Handrails offer safety, too.
The study notes that handrails are available along most stairs in very tall buildings. Using them increases “the muscle mass involved...” by getting the arms involved, the study shows. “They are relatively small muscles in the arms, but better than nothing,” Minetti said. If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Australian Suzy Walsham would own gold medals. Walsham told the Associated Press that stair-climbing is a good form of exercise for many kinds of people.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Stair-climbing contributes to climbers’ health.
B. Stair-climbing is harmful to the climbers’ skeleton.
C. Stair-climbing is the most effective way to lose weight.
D. Stair-climbing needs high-standard equipment for exercise.
5. Why does going down stairs burn more calories than walking on the ground
A. Because it is an exercise everyone can do.
B. Because you are heavier while going down stairs.
C. Because your muscles have to work to slow the body.
D. Because the overall energy expenditure of exercise depends on your weight.
6. Which of the following statements does Menetti agree with
A. It is unnecessary to warm up before climbing.
B. Using handrails may avoid the potential danger.
C. Experienced stair-climbers can pay no attention to their speed.
D. You will expend more calories to move horizontally than vertically.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text

The buildings in which we live, work and shop shape our experiences. The construction and maintenance of these buildings also require significant resources. So a growing number of architects are trying to design buildings while keeping both sustainability and quality of life in mind. The term “green building” can refer to one of these structures or to the process of constructing them.
Any structure is considered a green building if it fits certain criteria. Most of these criteria have to do with environmental concerns, especially those related to climate change. For example, green buildings are made of sustainable materials and use water and energy efficiently as well as renewable energy sources. Green-building advocates do care about the humans involved, though; one of the criteria is that the building will improve its occupants’ quality of life.
Sometimes a single feature contributes to more than one criterion. For example, many green buildings have large windows, which save energy on lighting. But natural light also has health benefits for humans, such as increasing vitamin D production, improving sleep and reducing seasonal depression. These windows thus kill two birds with one stone, saving energy and keeping people fit.
The construction process for a green building should also have minimal environmental impact. This means it should be energy efficient, avoid pollution and minimize waste.
A commercial building in Hong Kong, includes numerous features that employ new technology to improve its occupants’ well-being. For example, they cool the building using chilled beams rather than air vents, and then eliminate uncomfortable drafts. In addition to conventional air filters, they also used a paint that purifies the air, improving air quality in the building beyond what a filter could do alone.
It’s just one of the many green-building projects carried out by the World Green Building Council. It is an organization with branches all over the world that collaborates with businesses, organizations and governments to encourage green building. Its website lists numerous examples of green buildings and highlights some of the features that made them successful. These buildings include residences, office buildings and more.
8. What are the characteristics of the green building
A. It should be built in the woods.
B. The essential colour of the building is green.
C. It is environmentally friendly while supporting quality life.
D. The maintenance of this building doesn’t consume natural resources.
9. What are the advantages of using large windows in buildings from the passage
A. They are energy efficient and good for health.
B. The buildings with large windows are more beautiful.
C. They are good for cutting the cost of building the house.
D. The occupants can have a better view with large windows.
10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Cause. B. Activate. C. Prevent. D. Remove.
11. What does the World Green Building Council do to promote green buildings
A. It sets strict regulations for construction companies.
B. It certifies green buildings based on a single criterion.
C. It cooperates with many groups to foster green building.
D. It provides financial support for building green buildings.

An early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text prompt — some users even described the video that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text-to-video AI would blur the line between the digital and the real.
If you’ve ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you’ll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a prompt, like “cat swimming in a fish tank”, and the tool creates a video based on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches”, building blocks of data that help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.
Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refine images by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker melting raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its flaws.
One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project was disclosed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence (遵守) to the user’s prompt.”
But there are constraints to Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes people or objects will blend together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can bound from the bizarre spaghetti video to where it is now in a year, these limitations probably won’t last long.
Meanwhile you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools like invideo AI, a product that was created with marketing, content creation and education in mind. It’s perfect for creating online tutorials, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.
12. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. ModelScope was widely praised.
B. ModelScope can correctly analyse text to the users.
C. Text-to-video AI received negative feedback eventually.
D. Text-to-video AI has improved significantly over the past year.
13. How can OpenAI’s Sora improve images
A. By recognizing the objects around.
B. By creating content in various styles.
C. By removing inappropriate visual patches.
D. By working in the same way as ModelScope.
14. What message does the last paragraph convey about invideo AI
A. It may fall out of use.
B. It will be highly profitable.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It will take ages to see the future result.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. A great leap for creative AI.
B. The functions of various AI tools.
C. The limitations of OpenAI’s Sora.
D. A demonstration of making a video.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A

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。
Two professional boxers were engaged in a thrilling match for championship: the older was called Kapa, 35; the younger Barce, 28. They played six rounds in the first half, ending in a tie for their equal strength. In the seventh round of the second half, the competition was still extremely fierce. The two sides exchanged blows and both were badly hurt.
During the halftime break, there was no longer the tension on the field. Instead, they both genuinely apologized and showed concern for each other. Barce thought about the intensity of the match and felt a sense of respect for Kapa’s persistent determination. He wiped the bloodstain off Kapa’s face with his clean towel bit by bit and then showered water on his head. He couldn’t help thinking of the sacrifices they both were making for this sport. Kapa also cared about Barce’s injuries and gently helped handle them. The audience, who had been watching intently, sighed with admiration at the sportsmanship of the two boxers when they saw this scene. Many people began to applaud them.
After the short break, they proceeded with their boxing. Barce accidentally fouled (犯规) and the referee (裁判) didn’t notice it. Barce’s heart skipped a beat. He knew he had made a mistake, panic and guilt surging through him. Should he let it go and grasp the chance of victory But his inner sense of right and wrong wouldn’t allow it. Perhaps older and weaker, Kapa was knocked down over and over again. According to the rules, after the opponent was knocked down and the referee called three times in a row, if a boxer who collapsed couldn’t get up, he would be defeated. Kapa continually struggled to his feet but failed. The referee began to count, “One, two...”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；

With an extra round, Barce defeated Kapa at the score of 110 to 108.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Before “three” could be counted, Barce stepped forward resolutely and stopped the referee. “I fouled in the previous round,” Barce admitted, his voice clear and unwavering. Murmurs spread through the crowd, but Barce remained firm in his decision. This honesty sparked a moment of realization among the audience about the true spirit of sportsmanship. The referee, after consulting with the officials, decided to restart the match with an extra round, acknowledging Barce’s honesty.
With an extra round, Barce defeated Kapa at the score of 110 to 108. Despite the close victory, both fighters embraced each other at the conclusion of the match, acknowledging the respect they had for one another. The audience erupted into applause, not just for the winner, but for the display of integrity and camaraderie shown by both boxers. Their rivalry had transformed into mutual admiration, demonstrating that true champions are not just those who win matches, but those who uphold the values of respect and honesty.
