Every four years, more than ten thousand athletes from all over the world compete in the Summer Olympics. The two-week Summer Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world, beating out even soccer's World Cup.
The early Olympic Games, however, were not the worldwide sports that the Summer Olympics are today. The modern Olympics were started in 1896 by Baron Pierre de Coubertain,a French educator. The first Games, in Athens, saw just 300 male athletes from 14 countries. Women's participation(参与) was non-existent then, but the 2012 Games made history with female competitors from every nation.
International participation was also limited by transportation in the early Games. The first Olympics held in the United States were in St. Louis in 1904. Getting to St. Louis from Europe in 1904 required a trans-Atlantic boat trip and a 1000-mile train ride as there were no airlines back then.
Furthermore, some of the early competitors were not the highly-trained professional athletes. For example, Betty Robinson, a sixteen-year-old high school student from Illinois, won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash in 1924. The Olympics in Amsterdam were only Robinson's fourth track meet after her sprinting(短跑) ability had been discovered by a teacher who saw her running after a school bus..
Throughout the history of the Games, new sports have been added while others have been dropped. Men's basketball joined in 1936, and recent additions include surfing, skateboarding, and sport climbing. The 2020 Games introduced three-on-three basketball, while 2024 in France featured break dancing. The 2028 Los Angeles Games will add six more sports to the medal events: baseball, softball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash. The Summer Olympics continues to grow, adapt, and excite with the future of the Games always promising new surprises.
24.What can we learn about the first Olympic Games compared to today's Olympics
A.They allowed women to participate. B.They attracted more international athletes.
C.They were much smaller in size. D.They required athletes to be highly-professional.
25.What challenges did international athletes face in the 1904 Olympics according to the text
A.Limited transportation options. B.Regular travel distances.
C.Lack of training equipment. D.Competitive pressure.
26.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Betty Robinson
A.To show professional athletes' advantages. B.To show the importance of travel for athletes.
C.To show the necessity of hard training. D.To show unprofessional participation in carly Olympics.
27.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Old sports out, new ones in. B.The future of men's basketball.
C.The development of track and field rules. D.The unchanging nature of Olympic sports events.
C
The air quality in the United States has started to decline(下降) over the past few years, according to the Environmental Protection Agency's 2024"Our Nation's Air" report. The agency reported a nearly 38 percent increase in unhealthy air days nationwide, rising from 596 days in 2022 to 822 days in 2023.
The report shows that people in the U. S. experienced the most days with"very unhealthy" air quality due to particle(颗粒) pollution in 25 years. It also found that 131 million people are living in areas with unhealthy levels of air pollution.
The reasons for the recent decline in air quality remain unclear, says the agency, but may be related to high numbers of wildfires,a warming climate, and more things people are using as the population grows and the economy gets stronger.
Poor air quality kills people. Worldwide, bad outdoor air caused an around 4.2 million unnatural deaths in 2016, about 90 percent of them in low-and middle-income(收入) countries. Indoor smoke is an ongoing health problem to the 3 billion people who cook and heat their homes. Air pollution has been linked to higher rates of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and lung disease. Air pollution can also cause short-term problems such as sneezing and coughing, and headaches.
Though many living things naturally give off carbon dioxide when they breathe, human activities such as burning fossil fuels in cars, planes, and power plants will significantly increase its emission(排放). That in turn causes climate change, which, as previously mentioned, may be linked to the recent decline in air quality.
28.What is the main finding of the report mentioned in the first two paragraphs
A.A great decline in air quality. B.A small drop in people's quality of life.
C.A small increase in unhealthy air days. D.A major reduction in air pollution incidents.
29.How does the report get the result
A.By collecting examples. B.By asking questions.
C.By doing online surveys. D.By comparing data.
30.What might be a cause of the situation according to the text
A.Decrease in wildfires. B.Decreased car usage on roads.
C.Rising global temperatures. D.Popularity of speeches.
31.How has the air quality affected people
A.It has put people's life at risk.
B.It has caused a change in the climate.
C.It has encouraged people's need for indoor heating fuels.
D.It has improved the air quality in low-and middle-income countries.
D
At a special kindergarten in North Carolina, youngsters play, socialize, and learn how to sit, stay in the classroom. These kindergartners are dogs, not humans, learning in Duke University's Puppy Kindergarten, but the specialized games and tasks these pups undertake in the classroom aren't so different to those used to study the development of human children.
For both dogs and their human friends, learning new skills are key steps in their journey to adulthood. Duke researchers Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods modeled their courses on techniques that psychologists use to test children's minds. Countless hours spent with the lovely but tiring pups enabled them to pinpoint when key cognitive(认知) skills develop at different times during the dog training development.
As dog lovers know, each pup is an individual(个体). Not all dogs are mentally suited to become service animals. But by understanding what puppies might be thinking and when it's right time to start training around specific mental abilities, humans can help every dog be their best.
In a study conducted at Duke University, researchers followed the development of101 dogs, ranging from eight to 20 weeks old, in a puppy kindergarten setting. The findings found the following timeline: By eight weeks, puppies begin to develop memory, recalling where a treat was hidden; at 10 weeks, they show self-control and understand basic human gestures; by 13 weeks, they seek human help when faced with unsolvable problems; and at 14 weeks, they adapt to changing rules and solve more difficult problems. These understandings provide an important foundation for dog training and their mental development.
Laurie Santos, director of the Canine(犬类) Cognition Center at Yale, says a lot of work has begun looking at what dogs know but very little research has explored when they come to know what they know. "We've long needed to know what's developmentally suitable for different stages of puppy development, but until Hare's lovely work we just didn't have answers."
32.Why did Duke researchers model children's courses to test on dogs
A.To teach dogs to behave like human children.
B.To show that dogs can learn through play.
C.To develop a new course for human kindergartners.
D.To understand the development of cognitive skills in puppies.
33.What does the underlined word"pinpoint" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Forget completely. B.Determine exactly.
C.Change gradually. D.Measure quickly.
34.What can we infer from paragraph 4
A.Some dogs develop cognitive skills faster than others.
B.The cognitive development of puppies follows a fixed timeline.
C.Puppies under eight weeks old are unable to remember any information.
D.All cognitive skills in puppies are fully developed by 14 weeks old.
35.What is Laurie Santos's attitude toward Brian Hare's research
A.Negative. B.Surprised. C.Positive. D.Worried.

In so big a world, it's easy to sometimes feel alone. Loneliness can strike anyone, anytime, and it's no fun at all. 36
Participate in school or community events to meet new people.
Putting yourself out there is one of the best things you can do when lonely. Join a sports team or take a cooking class. You'll socialize and have fun— two birds with one stone! Sign up for activities that interest you to meet people with similar hobbies. 37 Don't be afraid to approach someone first!
38
Sometimes, a comforting shoulder is all you need. Tell a trusted loved one how you feel, or just send a"Hi" to start a chat. Talking about your feelings may seem scary, but it can help you realize you're not alone. Try saying, "I've been feeling lonely lately. Have you ever felt like this " or"Hey, want to get some ice cream It'll cheer me up." If you have no one to talk to, try contacting a helpline for anonymous support.
Take care of yourself.
39 Eat food that make you feel good both inside and out. Move your body for at least 30 minutes a day. Do something you enjoy, like walking, hiking, swimming, or dancing. Get at least 7 hours of sleep and stick to a regular sleep schedule. Consider adding meditation(冥想) to your routine to clear your mind.
Start a journal.
When you feel depressed or lonely, you can challenge these unhealthy and unhelpful thoughts by keeping a journal. Journaling the things you're grateful for can influence your emotions and activate positive feelings. Try spending at least 20 minutesa day writing in your journal. Just write down whatever comes to mind! 40
A.Reach out to family and friends.
B.Help yourself feel better by eating, exercising, and sleeping.
C.Your entries don't have to be long or about anything specific.
D.Show interest in what you're doing and the people around you.
E.If you have a hobby that you've lost interest in, try picking it up again.

Whenever her favorite tree-printed shirt was clean, she wore it with pride. Today was Arbor Day, a day dedicated to celebrating and planting trees. Annabelle wanted to make it special for Lucy.
"Happy Arbor Day," Annabelle called out, her voice filled with enthusiasm as she pedaled her bike up to where Lucy and Ethan were standing. Ethan, however, looked puzzled. "What's Arbor Day " he asked in confusion. Lucy's eyes lit up as she explained, "It's a holiday to celebrate trees, and it's my favorite holiday!" Ethan's frown(皱眉) deepened, and he shook his head, insisting, "Arbor Day is not a real holiday." Lucy's face flushed(脸红) with embarrassment. Before she could respond, Annabelle stepped in firmly. "It is a real holiday," Annabelle said confidently, "And Lucy and I are here to celebrate it in our own special way."
Lucy, though passionate about trees, had never given thought to planning an Arbor Day celebration. Seeing her friend's hesitation, Annabelle's determination only grew stronger. "We'll show Ethan," Annabelle whispered to Lucy, leading her into the garage."First, we'll hang decorations." She scanned the holiday storage boxes, finding decorations for Halloween with its ghosts and goblins, Christmas with its twinkling lights and stars, and Valentine's Day with its hearts and love notes. But there was no sign of Arbor Day decorations, no leaves or tree-themed stuff.
"Mom," Annabelle called out with hope, "where are our Arbor Day decorations " Her mother replied with a gentle smile, explaining that they had never had any specific decorations for Arbor Day. But Annabelle wasn't easily discouraged.

One possible version:
"Let's make our own,"Annabelle suggested, her eyes shining with excitement. "We can create our own Arbor Day decorations using things we have around the house. We'll craft paper leaves and tree cutouts, and maybe even make some garlands with twine and pine cones." Lucy's face lit up as the idea began to take shape. Together, they rummaged through craft supplies, finding colored paper, scissors, and glue. They worked diligently, transforming plain materials into vibrant tree-themed decorations. By the time they finished, the garage had been transformed into a beautiful forest, ready to celebrate the day in true spirit. The two girls called Ethan to come over.
"What are you doing "asked Ethan, as he stepped into the garage and saw the decorations. Lucy and Annabelle beamed at him, their creation now complete. "It's for Arbor Day," Annabelle replied, her voice filled with pride. "We wanted to show you that even if it's not a widely known holiday, it's still special to us. And we hope it can be special to you too." Ethan's frown softened, and a hint of a smile played on his lips. "Alright," he said, "I'll play along. Lead the way." As they walked out of the garage, hand in hand, Lucy felt a surge of happiness. Today, she had not only celebrated Arbor Day but also strengthened her bond with her friends, proving that sometimes, the best celebrations are the ones you create yourself.

【解题导语】本文是一篇励志故事文章。文章主要介绍了一位名叫NenitaAngeles的护士长如何在孩子出事后改变对待同事的态度,并从中学会了感恩和改变领导风格的故事。
41.D Nenita Angeles是一个对工作要求极高、可能有时候对员工非常严厉的领导者,这种领导风格让她的员工感到畏惧。terror强调了她的完美主义和对员工的苛刻态度,可能让员工在她的管理下感到很大的压力。terror作为抽象名词具体化,指的是可怕的人。
42.A下文提到她的员工把她看作是一个具有完美主义者的监工,这些是员工对她的“评论”。
43.D下文提到Nenita的儿子生病住院,她一直在他身边照顾他,这表明儿子对她来说非常“重要”。
44.B 上文提到Nenita在医院里照顾她的儿子,照顾他的每一个“需求”。
45.C下文提到Nenita“意识到”了儿子对护士的深深的依赖和信任,这是她在医院期间观察到的事情。
46.B儿子在医院里与护士的互动可能是积极和令人兴奋的,因此他可能会“兴奋地”与母亲分享这些故事。
47.A护士在医院的主要职责之一是确保病人的“舒适”。
48.B儿子对护士的积极感情很可能是因为他们的“善良”行为。
49.D 下文提到Nenita的儿子不幸去世,这意味着他未能“康复”,
50.C下文提到Nenita在儿子去世后回到工作中,并且行为有所改变,这涉及到她的“态度”。
51.A Nenita的态度突然改变,这可能会让她的员工感到“惊讶”。
52.BNenita在会议上道歉,这表明她意识到自己过去对员工的态度不佳,这是对员工的“对待方式”,
53.D 上文提到Nenita在会议上为自己的行为“道歉”。
54.C Nenita感激员工“接受”了她的道歉。
55.A “burden”指的是个人所承担的责任或任务所带来的压力和重负。这里的“burden”并不是指实际的物理重量,而是一种比喻,用来形容完成任务或责任时所感受到的心理或情感上的压力。当提到“these people who coexist with us make the burden of our tasks much lighter,"这句话意味着周围的人通过他们的支持、帮助或简单的存在,使得这些任务感觉起来不那么沉重,更容易应对。因此,“burden”在这里强调的是人们在面对任务时感受到的压迫感,以及他人如何帮助减轻这种感觉。
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴黎城市里的农民探索出来的新型种植方式——现代的室内垂直农场蔬菜栽培,并以工程师PascalHardly在城市屋顶的成功试验证明了这种种植方式的可行性。
56.which/ that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,本句是定语从句,“which/that doesn't use soil”作为定语从句,修饰前面的名词短语“a new method of farming”,说明这种方法的特点是不使用土壤。
57.with 考查介词。deal with意为“处理;应对”。
58.healthily 考查词性转换。此处表示草莓健康地生长在塑料容器中,应用其副词形式修饰grow。
59.and 考查祈使句。使用了“祈使句+and+陈述句”结构,意为“如果 就 ”。
60.hanging 考查非谓语动词。with the roots of many strawberry plant...是前半句的伴随状语,“hanging”是现在分词的形式,它在这里作为形容词使用,通常表示主动或进行的意义。
61.are filled考查谓语动词。主句缺少谓语,句意为:容器中装满排排生菜,故使用be filled with的短语来充当谓语。
62.an考查冠词。“an engineer and expert in sustainable development”是Pascal的同位语,用于进一步说明Pascal的身份或职业。而使用“an”而不是“the”是因为我们在这里要表达的是泛指某一类人或事物中的一个,而不是特指某一个具体的人或事物。
63.larger考查形容词比较级。“almost the size of two football fields”表达了空中的空间很大,且“much”是一个程度副词,用来加强“larger”的程度。
64.have picked考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据“Already”可知,此处应用现在完成时;且主语是“the team of young urban farmers”,助动词应用have。
65.remaining考查词性转换。这里的“remaining”是形容词,意思是“剩下的、剩余的”。它用来描述“two-thirds of the huge open area”的状态,即这片区域中的三分之二是剩下的、未被使用的。

Today we will talk about sports. We know people all over the world enjoy sports. Why Maybe the most important reason is that sports help people to keep healthy and happy and to live longer. Many people like to watch others play games. They often buy tickets or turn on their TV to watch the games when they have time. And often they get very excited when"their" player or team wins or plays very well. Some sports are so interesting that almost all the people go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with a lot of rivers or lakes. Some sports or games go back more than 4,000 years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese martial arts, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither is hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. As we all know, water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together, they often become good friends.
