一、阅读理解
Community causes in the UK work hard to provide help to people who need it most. Thanks to Co-op members, more help is now available to local causes supporting their communities.
West Yorkshire-based Food for Families is one of many local causes in the UK working to feed people in need. Families can pick up ready-made food packs at the same time as picking up the kids from school. Now Food for Families has been given its own helping hand, thanks to 5,000 from Co-op’s Winners Share It All prize draw activity. Food for Families was chosen by a Co-op member, who also received their own 500 prize.
Winning causes
Food for Families is just one of around 2,500 Local Community Fund causes that Co-op members support throughout the year, with 90 causes receiving 5,000 each from Co-op members.
How you can get involved
Simply choose your Local Community Fund cause through the Co-op website or app. Then spend 5, either in-store or online through shop.coop.co.uk.
Scan your membership card and you will be entered every month for a chance to win big for you and your community. Members get additional entries for every 5 spent.
There will be 10 winners every month at present, so there are plenty of chances to win. Non-members can also become a Co-op member and take part for just 1 through the Co-op app.
The Winners Share It All prize draw is designed to help boost Co-op’s existing support for thousands of grassroots causes. The Local Community Fund has supported nearly 40,000 projects since 2016, and in total, 108 million has been raised by Co-op members.

Have you ever read a book and found that one of the characters is exactly your carbon copy And you relate to the character so well that you can’t help but wonder if the author had somehow observed your own life Well, that is Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables for me.
There are many instances in the book where I particularly felt connected to little Anne, like the one where she does a performance at a school concert. Although she has gone up on stage several times before, this is the time she gets a taste of stage fright. The same thing happened to me during a poetry competition in high school. Never did I find the stage as intimidating as I did on that day. There’s another situation where her friends don’t miss home as much, while Anne is terribly homesick. I could imagine how Anne feels. I’ve always wondered how people can move out of a place where they’ve spent their entire childhood and not feel even a pinch of sorrow.
Whether it is the world of imagination that she loves to weave, or the experience of growing up as a lonely child, or the beautiful moments of daydreaming, or her fondness for nature, Anne is me, through and through. As I read through the chapters learning about her chattering nature as a kid that grew quieter during adolescence and the respect for her teachers, I saw myself in her.
I grew so close to Anne and her friendships, her school and her dear little Green Gables and its inhabitants, that I couldn’t control my tears when I finished reading the last chapter. That’s what books do. They give you the freedom to live inside their fictional world even when you’re aware that you’re only a reader who exists outside. And although your existence inside that fictional world is imaginary and temporary, you end up cherishing that experience for a lifetime.

B.She was moved by Anne’s tough experience.
C.She failed to understand the story in the book.
D.She was unhappy with the ending of the book.
There’s a lot that go into an Olympic athlete’s winning gold medals — years of training and an athlete’s age. A team of University of Waterloo students used data to figure out when an Olympic track-and-field athletes’ peak performance will be.
Track-and-field includes running, jumping, throwing, and other events. Most athletes’ career performance progressions can typically be described as a bell curve （钟形曲线）, in which they train over several years to reach their best performance, at a certain age and then gradually decrease.
The researchers studied the year-by-year career performance data from every track and field athlete who has competed in an individual event at an Olympics since the 1996 Games in Atlanta. They analyzed the data that considered five factors： man or woman, nationality, event type, how long the athlete had been training at a high level, and whether or not it was an Olympic year.
They found that the average age of participation of Olympic track-and-field athletes has remained remarkably similar for both men and women over the past three decades： just under 27 years old. "Interestingly enough, our study also showed that on average the peak age for these athletes was 27," said David Awosoga, the lead author on the research.
After the age of 27, there is only a 44% probability that an athlete’s peak is still ahead of them, and this number drops every year. "Age, however, isn’t the only factor in an athlete’s peak," said Matthew Chow, co-author of the research.
While the researchers emphasize that their analysis is mainly in theory, they hope the findings can be helpful for both athletes and fans. "Our main takeaway is that we have established a list of variables （变量） that help predict when your peak will be," Awosoga said. "You can’t change the year of the Olympics, your genetics, or your nationality, but you might change your training to better go with these biological and external factors."
8．What data about the athletes was considered in the study
A.Character.
B.Gender.
C.Blood type.
D.Education level.
9．What can we learn from the study
A.44% of the athletes in Olympic Games is just 27.
B.Age plays a decisive role in an athlete’s peak performance.
C.The average peak age for track-and-field champions is 27.
D.It’s easy to predict an athlete’s performance using the findings,
10．What does David Awosoga intend to convey in the last paragraph
A.Their study is helpful.
B.Their analysis is practical.
C.Variables might play a key role.
D.External factors are unavoidable.
11．What is the aim of the text
A.To remind.
B.To inspire.
C.To compare.
D.To inform.
Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our verbal （口头的） exchanges. Body language can be conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These nonverbal cues can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending or lead to mistrust or confusion-signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.
Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges. Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. For example, bad posture or fidgeting （坐立不安） may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us. But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others. Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine interest. Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding.
When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language.
It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort， studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem.
12． What will your body language tell if it doesn’t go with your speech
A.Wrong information.
B.True meaning behind words.
C.A broken relationship.
D.A dull speech.
13． Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 2
A.To prove body language is necessary.
B.To state how to assess a student’s understanding.
C.To tell body language can show the true side of us.
D.To explain how challenging it is to read body language.
14． What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs
A.Proper body language can help us in gaining confidence.
B.Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood.
C.Naturally occurring forms of body language make us confident.
D.When speaking to others, try your best to hide your body language.
15． What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Keeping proper body language
B.Using your body to communicate
C.Understanding others by body language
D.Being smart in showing your body language

Noah, a journalist, was on his way to a remote region in California for an assignment. The sun was high in the June sky as he navigated the roads that snaked through the hills. The air conditioning in his car seemed to struggle against the relentless heat.
As the clock struck noon, Noah’s car suddenly came to a stop. The engine refused to turn over, leaving him stranded （使滞留） in the middle of nowhere. Sweat trickled down his back as he tried to restart the car, but in vain. His water supply was limited, and the heat was becoming unbearable. With no other option, he decided to seek help on foot, hoping to find someone who could assist him.
After walking for a long distance, Noah spotted a farm. As he approached, he was amazed by the sight that greeted him： An expanse of lush greenery that seemed to stretch on forever. Upon closer inspection, he found it was a vast grove of lychee （荔枝） trees, their branches filled with ripe, red fruits. The sight was so breathtaking that he couldn’t help but take several photographs, capturing the vibrant scene.
Just then, a man in his fifties, wearing a large-brimmed hat that protected his face from the sun, approached Noah with a curious expression. It was the owner of the farm, Lucas. After hearing about Noah’s situation, Lucas
wasted no time in calling for help to repair Noah’s car. In the meantime, he invited Noah into his cabin to have a rest and escape the scorching sun.
Inside the cabin, as they sat and talked, Lucas fetched some of the lychees from his grove and shared them with Noah, who was amazed by their flavor. He had never tasted so sweet, juicy lychees. Lucas talked proudly about his journey of cultivating lychees, from the initial challenges of working with the deserted land to the success of producing a bountiful harvest.
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。
However, Lucas’ smile faded, and he sighed deeply.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Once back in the city, Noah decided to use his profession to do something for Lucas and his abundant lychees.

参考答案
1．答案： C
解析： 根据文中"Now Food for Families has been given its own helping hand, thanks to 5,000 from Co-op’s Winners Share It All prize draw activity."可知,Food for Families得到了来自Co-op的"Winners Share It All"抽奖活动提供的5000英镑的帮助,也就是Co-op为它提供了一笔资金,所以选择C选项。A选项"它的成员为它做贡献"文中未提及；B选项"当地政府支持它"不符合原文描述；D选项"当地居民为它筹款"也没有在文中体现,所以都不正确。
2．答案： B
解析： 文中提到"90 causes receiving 5,000 each from Co-op members",即有90个项目每个能从Co-op成员那里获得5000英镑,那么每个月Co-op提供给社区项目的资金总额为90×5000 = 450000英镑,所以选择B选项。
3．答案： D
解析： 根据"How you can get involved"部分内容"Simply choose your Local Community Fund cause through the Co-op website or app. Then spend 5, either in-store or online through shop.coop.co.uk. Scan your membership card and you will be entered every month for a chance to win big for you and your community. Members get additional entries for every 5 spent."可知,老会员可以通过在Co-op网站或应用上消费至少5英镑来参与活动,所以选择D选项。A选项"作为新会员通过Co-op网站仅花费1英镑"不符合参与活动的要求；B选项"作为老会员在当地社区商店支付5英镑",原文提到可以在店内或通过网站消费5英镑,但强调要通过相关网站或应用参与抽奖等,所以不准确；C选项"通过Co-op网站或应用向当地社区基金捐赠5英镑",原文说的是消费5英镑,而不是捐赠,所以都不正确。
4．答案： C
解析： 词义推测题。上文提到了stage fight, intimidating 与之呼应,意为"令人胆怯的"。
5．答案： B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,和Anne一样,作者也是个恋家的人,因此她对不想家的同学们感到不理解。
6．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,Anne 想象力丰富,热爱自然。
7．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。故事主人公Anne 对作者来说是一个一同成长的亲密朋友,随着全书读完,与她分别的时刻似已到来,令作者感到悲伤。
8．答案： B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中They analyzed the data that considered five factors： man or woman, nationality, event type, how long the athlete had been training at a high level, and whether of not it was an Olympic year. （他们分析的数据考虑了五个因素：男性或女性、国籍、项目类型、运动员接受高水平训练的时间,以及当年是否为奥运年）可知,这项研究考虑了运动员的性别数据。故选B项。
9．答案： C
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中David Awosoga所说的话Interestingly enough, our study also showed that on average the peak age for these athletes was 27（有趣的是,我们的研究还表明,这些运动员的平均巅峰年龄是27岁）可知,田径冠军的平均巅峰年龄是27岁。故选C项。
10．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中David Awosoga所说的话Our main takeaway is that we have established a list of variables（变量） that help predict when your peak will be （我们的主要结论是,我们已经建立了一个变量列表,可以帮助预测你的巅峰出现的时间）和You can’t change the year of the Olympics, your genetics, or your nationality, but you might change your training to better go with these biological and external factors.（你不能改变奥运会的年份,你的基因,或者你的国籍,但你可以改变你的训练,以更好地适应这些生理和外部因素）可知,Awosoga指出他们的研究可以帮助预测田径运动员巅峰出现的时间,从而通过调整训练来适应不可变的生理和外部因素。由此可知,他是想表达他们的研究是有帮助的。故选A项。
11．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中A team of University of Waterloo students used data to figure out when an Olympic track-and-field athletes’ peak performance will be.（滑铁卢大学一团队的学生利用数据计算出奥运会田径运动员的最佳表现时间）可知,文章介绍了滑铁卢大学团队的一项研究,该研究通过分析奥运会田径运动员的数据,发现运动员的最佳表现年龄约为27岁,为运动员和球迷提供了预测和优化表现的理论依据。文章主要是呈现该研究的背景、方法、结果和意义,其目的应该是提供信息。故选D项。
12．答案： A
解析： 根据文中"Body language can be conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These nonverbal cues can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending or lead to mistrust or confusion - signs of poor communication and misunderstanding."可知,如果身体语言和言语不一致,可能会导致误解、不信任等不良沟通的情况出现,也就是传达了错误的信息（Wrong information）,所以选择A选项。B选项"话语背后的真实含义"不符合这种不一致所带来的结果描述；C选项"破裂的关系"过于严重,文中只是说会造成沟通问题；D选项"枯燥的演讲"与身体语言和言语不一致的影响无关,所以都不正确。
13．答案： C
解析： 第二段先是提到身体语言会带来新挑战,有些非言语信号会无意地传达出我们不想让别人知道的自身情况,接着举例"bad posture or fidgeting （坐立不安） may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us."等,就是为了说明身体语言能够展现出我们真实的一面（show the true side of us）,所以选择C选项。A选项"证明身体语言是必要的"不是举例的主要目的；B选项"说明如何评估学生的理解"只是例子中涉及的一点内容,不是举例的核心意图；D选项"解释解读身体语言有多难"也不符合举例要表达的意思,所以都不正确。
14．答案： A
解析： 倒数第二段提到身体语言能与言语配合表达真诚等,最后一段重点讲述了即使内心没有自信,但展示出自信的身体语言（如良好的姿势、眼神交流等）,也能让自己感觉更自信,也就是在说明恰当的身体语言有助于我们获得自信（Proper body language can help us in gaining confidence）,所以选择A选项。B选项"手势是让我们被理解的重要方式"只是文中部分内容,不是后两段主要意图；C选项"自然产生的身体语言形式让我们自信"不准确,重点是恰当的、自信的身体语言的作用；D选项"和别人交谈时,尽力隐藏你的身体语言"与原文表达的要利用好身体语言的意思相悖,所以都不正确。
15．答案： B
解析： 文章开篇就点明"Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our verbal （口头的） exchanges.",接着围绕身体语言在沟通中的作用、影响以及如何利用它来更好地沟通、获得自信等方面进行阐述,强调的是利用身体进行沟通（Using your body to communicate）这一主题,所以选择B选项。A选项"保持恰当的身体语言"比较片面,没有突出沟通这一核心；C选项"通过身体语言理解他人"不是文章重点；D选项"巧妙展示你的身体语言"也没有全面涵盖文章围绕身体语言用于沟通的主要内容,所以都不合适作为标题。
16．答案： C； G； D； F； B
解析： ①前文说和朋友计划旅行既令人兴奋又有挑战性,后文说提供一些建议来解决麻烦,C选项"但不是每一次旅行都能让每个人满意",说明了旅行中存在的问题,能够承接上文的挑战性并引出下文解决麻烦的内容,所以填C。
②前文提到选择目的地要考虑多方面因素,后文说通过社交媒体平台了解目的地优缺点,G选项"和去过那个地方的人聊聊,了解一下那里是什么样的"也是了解目的地情况的一种方式,与前后内容衔接紧密,所以填G。
③前文提到要提前预订活动,偶尔也要心血来潮、乐于接受新体验,后文强调和朋友相处的时光最重要,D选项"未经计划的时刻往往能创造最美好的回忆"进一步说明了偶尔心血来潮、接受新体验的好处,符合语境逻辑,所以填D。
④这一段落主题是设定预算并严格遵守,后文提到使用共享预算工具等做法,F选项"公开讨论财务状况和期望,以避免冲突"是关于预算方面的合理建议,能够引出后面具体的预算操作内容,所以填F。
⑤后文提到鉴于大家期望不同,要调整计划和活动来满足同伴需求等内容,强调要灵活应对,B选项"要灵活"作为小标题能够总领这部分内容,所以填B。
17．答案： D
解析： 根据前文"The most chilling part"（最令人心寒的部分）可知,此处形容父亲脸上的表情应该是比较负面且让人害怕的,"scared"表示"惊恐的,害怕的",符合语境,所以选择D选项。A选项"惊讶的"、B选项"不满意的"、C选项"好笑的,愉快的"都不符合当时那种让人担忧的氛围。
18．答案： B
解析： "It struck me that..."是常用表达,意为"我突然想到……",此处表示作者突然想起妈妈之前一直说担心父亲的事,所以选择B选项。A选项"记得",不符合此处这种突然意识到的语境；C选项"表达"、D选项"改变"都与语境不符。
19．答案： D
解析： 根据后文"I hadn’t noticed he was becoming forgetful"可知,作者之前没注意到父亲变得健忘,也就是错过了很多能体现父亲状态变化的迹象（signs）,所以选择D选项。A选项"谣言"、B选项"新闻"、C选项"疾病"都不符合此处说错过观察父亲情况变化的语境。
20．答案： A
解析： 作者之前以为父亲的健忘是正常（normal）衰老过程的一部分,所以没有太在意,所以选择A选项。B选项"长的"、C选项"悲伤的"、D选项"持续的"都不符合此处描述衰老过程特点的语境。
21．答案： B
解析： 根据后文"All these emotions were swirling around —relief that we knew what was going on, ____27____ about what the future held and, most of all, gut-wrenching sadness."可知,听到医生宣布父亲患阿尔茨海默病时,作者和妈妈有着复杂的（mixed）情绪,有知道情况后的释然,对未来的恐惧以及深深的悲伤等,所以选择B选项。A选项"未知的"、C选项"模糊不清的"、D选项"易变的"都不符合此处表达多种情绪交织的语境。
22．答案： C

解析： 根据后文"he didn’t really understand what happened"可知,父亲当时很困惑（confused）,不明白发生了什么事,所以选择D选项。A选项"心烦的"、B选项"焦虑的"、C选项"非常害怕的"都不符合此处体现父亲不明白状况的语境。
25．答案： C
解析： 随着医生的话（words）被理解、被接受,也就是明白了医生告知的病情后,父亲变得非常难过,所以选择C选项。A选项"警告"、B选项"拜访"、D选项"检查"都不符合此处表达随着知晓医生所说内容后的情况变化的语境。
26．答案： C
解析： 根据后文"I hugged him saying it wasn’t his ____31____."可知,父亲是带着愧疚（guilt）哭泣的,觉得是自己的问题,所以作者才安慰他说不是他的错,所以选择C选项。A选项"恐惧"、B选项"想法"、D选项"眼泪"都不符合此处体现父亲哭泣原因的语境。
27．答案： B

解析： 根据后文"by the end of 2022 he was in a wheelchair"可知,父亲的阿尔茨海默病相对（relatively）发展得很快,所以短时间内就坐上了轮椅,所以选择A选项。B选项"相应地"、C选项"逐渐地"、D选项"有规律地"都不符合此处描述病情发展速度的语境。
29．答案： B
解析： 根据前文"Mum was determined to keep Dad at home with us for as long as possible."以及后文作者帮助父亲做各种事可知,大家都同意（agreed）妈妈的这个决定,所以选择B选项。A选项"站立"、C选项"停留,待在"、D选项"哭泣"都不符合此处表达大家对妈妈决定的态度的语境。
30．答案： C
解析： 根据后文"because I always saw in his eyes how much he loved me"可知,作者觉得自己有机会陪伴（accompany）父亲是幸运的,能从父亲眼中看到对自己的爱,所以选择C选项。A选项"帮助"、B选项"安慰"、D选项"教"都不符合此处强调陪伴过程中感受到父爱的语境。
31．答案： D

32．答案： its； brighten； trying； initially； attractive； a； questions； with； has shared； where
解析： ①此处修饰名词"ever-changing forms"要用形容词性物主代词,"it"的形容词性物主代词是"its",表示"它的（指云的）不断变化的形态"。
②情态动词"can"后要接动词原形,"bright"是形容词,其动词形式"brighten"表示"使明亮,使生辉",符合语境,指云观测能让我们习以为常的事物变得更有意思,所以填"brighten"。
③此处考查现在分词作伴随状语,"try"的逻辑主语是前面的"you",两者之间是主动关系,即你可以通过学习不同的云的类型去尝试理解天空,同时做前面动作的伴随情况,所以用现在分词"trying"。
④修饰动词"started"要用副词,"initial"的副词形式是"initially",表示"最初,起初",说明她最初开始这个账号的情况,所以填"initially"。
⑤修饰名词"moments"要用形容词,"attract"的形容词形式是"attractive",表示"吸引人的",指传播吸引人的瞬间给更多人,所以填"attractive"。
⑥"a number of"是固定短语,意为"许多,大量的","growing"是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用"a",表示越来越多的网络用户,所以填"a"。
⑦"question"是可数名词,根据语境,网络用户们会提出很多问题,要用复数形式"questions"。
⑧"with + 名词"在句中作后置定语,修饰"individuals",表示具有气象学专业知识的人,所以填"with"。
⑨根据时间状语"So far"（到目前为止）可知,此处要用现在完成时,其结构为"have/has + 过去分词",主语"Zheng"是第三人称单数,所以填"has shared",表示从过去到现在分享的情况。
⑩此处考查定语从句,先行词是"five group chats",在从句中作地点状语,即"在这些群聊里,数千名用户分享他们日常观云的经历",用关系副词"where"引导定语从句,所以填"where"。

However, Lucas’ smile faded, and he sighed deeply. He explained that despite the abundance of his lychees, he struggled to find buyers who would appreciate their unique flavor and freshness. Many of the local markets were already saturated with lychees from other farms, making it difficult for him to stand out. Noah listened intently, realizing that Lucas’ tale of success was intertwined with challenges that threatened to undermine his hard work. He felt a sense of responsibility to help Lucas overcome these obstacles.
Once back in the city, Noah decided to use his profession to do something for Lucas and his abundant lychees. He crafted an engaging article, highlighting the story of Lucas’ farm, the sweetness of his lychees, and the challenges he faced in bringing his produce to market. The article quickly garnered attention, drawing in readers who were eager to support small, local farmers. Noah even organized a lychee tasting event, inviting food bloggers and influencers to sample Lucas’ lychees and share their positive experiences with their followers. It was successful with Lucas’ farm receiving a surge of orders.

Have you ever read a book and found that one of the characters is exactly your carbon copy And you relate to the character so well that you can’t help but wonder if the author had somehow observed your own life Well, that is Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables for me.
There are many instances in the book where I particularly felt connected to little Anne, like the one where she does a performance at a school concert. Although she has gone up on stage several times before, this is the time she gets a taste of stage fright. The same thing happened to me during a poetry competition in high school. Never did I find the stage as intimidating as I did on that day. There’s another situation where her friends don’t miss home as much, while Anne is terribly homesick. I could imagine how Anne feels. I’ve always wondered how people can move out of a place where they’ve spent their entire childhood and not feel even a pinch of sorrow.
Whether it is the world of imagination that she loves to weave, or the experience of growing up as a lonely child, or the beautiful moments of daydreaming, or her fondness for nature, Anne is me, through and through. As I read through the chapters learning about her chattering nature as a kid that grew quieter during adolescence and the respect for her teachers, I saw myself in her.
I grew so close to Anne and her friendships, her school and her dear little Green Gables and its inhabitants, that I couldn’t control my tears when I finished reading the last chapter. That’s what books do. They give you the freedom to live inside their fictional world even when you’re aware that you’re only a reader who exists outside. And although your existence inside that fictional world is imaginary and temporary, you end up cherishing that experience for a lifetime.
4．What does the underlined word "intimidating" in paragraph 2 mean

B.She was moved by Anne’s tough experience.
C.She failed to understand the story in the book.
D.She was unhappy with the ending of the book.
There’s a lot that go into an Olympic athlete’s winning gold medals — years of training and an athlete’s age. A team of University of Waterloo students used data to figure out when an Olympic track-and-field athletes’ peak performance will be.
Track-and-field includes running, jumping, throwing, and other events. Most athletes’ career performance progressions can typically be described as a bell curve （钟形曲线）, in which they train over several years to reach their best performance, at a certain age and then gradually decrease.
The researchers studied the year-by-year career performance data from every track and field athlete who has competed in an individual event at an Olympics since the 1996 Games in Atlanta. They analyzed the data that considered five factors： man or woman, nationality, event type, how long the athlete had been training at a high level, and whether or not it was an Olympic year.
They found that the average age of participation of Olympic track-and-field athletes has remained remarkably similar for both men and women over the past three decades： just under 27 years old. "Interestingly enough, our study also showed that on average the peak age for these athletes was 27," said David Awosoga, the lead author on the research.
After the age of 27, there is only a 44% probability that an athlete’s peak is still ahead of them, and this number drops every year. "Age, however, isn’t the only factor in an athlete’s peak," said Matthew Chow, co-author of the research.
While the researchers emphasize that their analysis is mainly in theory, they hope the findings can be helpful for both athletes and fans. "Our main takeaway is that we have established a list of variables （变量） that help predict when your peak will be," Awosoga said. "You can’t change the year of the Olympics, your genetics, or your nationality, but you might change your training to better go with these biological and external factors."
8．What data about the athletes was considered in the study
A.Character.
B.Gender.
C.Blood type.
D.Education level.
9．What can we learn from the study
A.44% of the athletes in Olympic Games is just 27.
B.Age plays a decisive role in an athlete’s peak performance.
C.The average peak age for track-and-field champions is 27.
D.It’s easy to predict an athlete’s performance using the findings,
10．What does David Awosoga intend to convey in the last paragraph
A.Their study is helpful.
B.Their analysis is practical.
C.Variables might play a key role.
D.External factors are unavoidable.
11．What is the aim of the text
A.To remind.
B.To inspire.
C.To compare.
D.To inform.
Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our verbal （口头的） exchanges. Body language can be conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These nonverbal cues can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending or lead to mistrust or confusion-signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.
Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges. Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. For example, bad posture or fidgeting （坐立不安） may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us. But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others. Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine interest. Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding.
When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language.
It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort， studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem.
12． What will your body language tell if it doesn’t go with your speech
A.Wrong information.
B.True meaning behind words.
C.A broken relationship.
D.A dull speech.
13． Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 2
A.To prove body language is necessary.
B.To state how to assess a student’s understanding.
C.To tell body language can show the true side of us.
D.To explain how challenging it is to read body language.
14． What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs
A.Proper body language can help us in gaining confidence.
B.Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood.
C.Naturally occurring forms of body language make us confident.
D.When speaking to others, try your best to hide your body language.
15． What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Keeping proper body language
B.Using your body to communicate
C.Understanding others by body language
D.Being smart in showing your body language

Noah, a journalist, was on his way to a remote region in California for an assignment. The sun was high in the June sky as he navigated the roads that snaked through the hills. The air conditioning in his car seemed to struggle against the relentless heat.
As the clock struck noon, Noah’s car suddenly came to a stop. The engine refused to turn over, leaving him stranded （使滞留） in the middle of nowhere. Sweat trickled down his back as he tried to restart the car, but in vain. His water supply was limited, and the heat was becoming unbearable. With no other option, he decided to seek help on foot, hoping to find someone who could assist him.
After walking for a long distance, Noah spotted a farm. As he approached, he was amazed by the sight that greeted him： An expanse of lush greenery that seemed to stretch on forever. Upon closer inspection, he found it was a vast grove of lychee （荔枝） trees, their branches filled with ripe, red fruits. The sight was so breathtaking that he couldn’t help but take several photographs, capturing the vibrant scene.
Just then, a man in his fifties, wearing a large-brimmed hat that protected his face from the sun, approached Noah with a curious expression. It was the owner of the farm, Lucas. After hearing about Noah’s situation, Lucas
wasted no time in calling for help to repair Noah’s car. In the meantime, he invited Noah into his cabin to have a rest and escape the scorching sun.
Inside the cabin, as they sat and talked, Lucas fetched some of the lychees from his grove and shared them with Noah, who was amazed by their flavor. He had never tasted so sweet, juicy lychees. Lucas talked proudly about his journey of cultivating lychees, from the initial challenges of working with the deserted land to the success of producing a bountiful harvest.

参考答案
1．答案： C
解析： 根据文中"Now Food for Families has been given its own helping hand, thanks to 5,000 from Co-op’s Winners Share It All prize draw activity."可知,Food for Families得到了来自Co-op的"Winners Share It All"抽奖活动提供的5000英镑的帮助,也就是Co-op为它提供了一笔资金,所以选择C选项。A选项"它的成员为它做贡献"文中未提及；B选项"当地政府支持它"不符合原文描述；D选项"当地居民为它筹款"也没有在文中体现,所以都不正确。
2．答案： B
解析： 文中提到"90 causes receiving 5,000 each from Co-op members",即有90个项目每个能从Co-op成员那里获得5000英镑,那么每个月Co-op提供给社区项目的资金总额为90×5000 = 450000英镑,所以选择B选项。
3．答案： D
解析： 根据"How you can get involved"部分内容"Simply choose your Local Community Fund cause through the Co-op website or app. Then spend 5, either in-store or online through shop.coop.co.uk. Scan your membership card and you will be entered every month for a chance to win big for you and your community. Members get additional entries for every 5 spent."可知,老会员可以通过在Co-op网站或应用上消费至少5英镑来参与活动,所以选择D选项。A选项"作为新会员通过Co-op网站仅花费1英镑"不符合参与活动的要求；B选项"作为老会员在当地社区商店支付5英镑",原文提到可以在店内或通过网站消费5英镑,但强调要通过相关网站或应用参与抽奖等,所以不准确；C选项"通过Co-op网站或应用向当地社区基金捐赠5英镑",原文说的是消费5英镑,而不是捐赠,所以都不正确。
4．答案： C
解析： 词义推测题。上文提到了stage fight, intimidating 与之呼应,意为"令人胆怯的"。
5．答案： B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,和Anne一样,作者也是个恋家的人,因此她对不想家的同学们感到不理解。
6．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,Anne 想象力丰富,热爱自然。
7．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。故事主人公Anne 对作者来说是一个一同成长的亲密朋友,随着全书读完,与她分别的时刻似已到来,令作者感到悲伤。
8．答案： B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中They analyzed the data that considered five factors： man or woman, nationality, event type, how long the athlete had been training at a high level, and whether of not it was an Olympic year. （他们分析的数据考虑了五个因素：男性或女性、国籍、项目类型、运动员接受高水平训练的时间,以及当年是否为奥运年）可知,这项研究考虑了运动员的性别数据。故选B项。
9．答案： C
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中David Awosoga所说的话Interestingly enough, our study also showed that on average the peak age for these athletes was 27（有趣的是,我们的研究还表明,这些运动员的平均巅峰年龄是27岁）可知,田径冠军的平均巅峰年龄是27岁。故选C项。
10．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中David Awosoga所说的话Our main takeaway is that we have established a list of variables（变量） that help predict when your peak will be （我们的主要结论是,我们已经建立了一个变量列表,可以帮助预测你的巅峰出现的时间）和You can’t change the year of the Olympics, your genetics, or your nationality, but you might change your training to better go with these biological and external factors.（你不能改变奥运会的年份,你的基因,或者你的国籍,但你可以改变你的训练,以更好地适应这些生理和外部因素）可知,Awosoga指出他们的研究可以帮助预测田径运动员巅峰出现的时间,从而通过调整训练来适应不可变的生理和外部因素。由此可知,他是想表达他们的研究是有帮助的。故选A项。
11．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中A team of University of Waterloo students used data to figure out when an Olympic track-and-field athletes’ peak performance will be.（滑铁卢大学一团队的学生利用数据计算出奥运会田径运动员的最佳表现时间）可知,文章介绍了滑铁卢大学团队的一项研究,该研究通过分析奥运会田径运动员的数据,发现运动员的最佳表现年龄约为27岁,为运动员和球迷提供了预测和优化表现的理论依据。文章主要是呈现该研究的背景、方法、结果和意义,其目的应该是提供信息。故选D项。
12．答案： A
解析： 根据文中"Body language can be conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These nonverbal cues can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending or lead to mistrust or confusion - signs of poor communication and misunderstanding."可知,如果身体语言和言语不一致,可能会导致误解、不信任等不良沟通的情况出现,也就是传达了错误的信息（Wrong information）,所以选择A选项。B选项"话语背后的真实含义"不符合这种不一致所带来的结果描述；C选项"破裂的关系"过于严重,文中只是说会造成沟通问题；D选项"枯燥的演讲"与身体语言和言语不一致的影响无关,所以都不正确。
13．答案： C
解析： 第二段先是提到身体语言会带来新挑战,有些非言语信号会无意地传达出我们不想让别人知道的自身情况,接着举例"bad posture or fidgeting （坐立不安） may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us."等,就是为了说明身体语言能够展现出我们真实的一面（show the true side of us）,所以选择C选项。A选项"证明身体语言是必要的"不是举例的主要目的；B选项"说明如何评估学生的理解"只是例子中涉及的一点内容,不是举例的核心意图；D选项"解释解读身体语言有多难"也不符合举例要表达的意思,所以都不正确。
14．答案： A
解析： 倒数第二段提到身体语言能与言语配合表达真诚等,最后一段重点讲述了即使内心没有自信,但展示出自信的身体语言（如良好的姿势、眼神交流等）,也能让自己感觉更自信,也就是在说明恰当的身体语言有助于我们获得自信（Proper body language can help us in gaining confidence）,所以选择A选项。B选项"手势是让我们被理解的重要方式"只是文中部分内容,不是后两段主要意图；C选项"自然产生的身体语言形式让我们自信"不准确,重点是恰当的、自信的身体语言的作用；D选项"和别人交谈时,尽力隐藏你的身体语言"与原文表达的要利用好身体语言的意思相悖,所以都不正确。
15．答案： B
解析： 文章开篇就点明"Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our verbal （口头的） exchanges.",接着围绕身体语言在沟通中的作用、影响以及如何利用它来更好地沟通、获得自信等方面进行阐述,强调的是利用身体进行沟通（Using your body to communicate）这一主题,所以选择B选项。A选项"保持恰当的身体语言"比较片面,没有突出沟通这一核心；C选项"通过身体语言理解他人"不是文章重点；D选项"巧妙展示你的身体语言"也没有全面涵盖文章围绕身体语言用于沟通的主要内容,所以都不合适作为标题。
