A
Working Out Helps Quietthe Mind
● WARM UP
Push and pull
Start with your hands in front of your chest and inhale through your nose.As you exhale through your mouth,press your palms away.Make fists and inhale,pulling your arms back toward your chest. While doing this exercise,think about pushing away stress and pulling in calm.Repeat three times.
Why this move:For some,physically acting out a desired emotional state —say,calm and steadiness—can encourage your brain to experience it.Your brain is not only sending out signals to the rest of your body;it's receiving signals from you.
● BUILD INTENSITY
Rock from side to side
Plant your feet on the ground and gently bend your knees,relaxing your shoulders.Begin rocking at the pace of your thoughts.For instance,if your mind is racing,rock quickly.Then slow down your body as a way to slow your mind.
Why this move:Rocking can calm the nervous system by creating a sense of predictable pace and steadiness in the body.
● COOL DOWN
Sighs of relief and give yourself a hug
Inhale through your nose,and as you exhale,let out a sigh.Repeat three to six times,allowing the sigh to lengthen and deepen each time.Then,embrace yourself and hold for at least 10 seconds. Why this move:Sighing can help to bring in calm by increasing your oxygen intake and lowering your heart rate.Wrapping your arms around your body can create a sense of personal safety.
21.What is the workout meant to do
A.Boost energy. B.Relax muscles.
C.Relieve stress. D.Improve memory.
22.How can rocking from side to side calm you
A.By sending out signals. B.By taking in more oxygen.
C.By lowering the heart rate. D.By adjusting body movement.
23.What can self-embrace achieve when you cool down
A.Balance in the body. B.Sharpness in the brain.
C.A feeling of security. D.A mind of a faster pace.
B
Back in the 1800s,some French artists packed their paint brushes and set off on long trips to capture the natural landscape and in the process,revolutionized art.Painting outdoors on location has recently inspired a newer trend:urban sketching,a kind of drawing with the text to describe the artist's surroundings while traveling.
Sketching on the go at different places around the globe opens your eyes to everything from the obvious to the invisible.A sketch captures a memory of people and places in a way that a photograph never can.Opposite to blitz travel,which focuses on the rapid,intensive exploration of multiple destinations in a very short period,urban sketching helps us slow down and step out of the rush by creating something by hand.As we draw,we notice the beauty in the ordinary:the way sunlight warms a scene,the comings and goings of locals in a market and the colors reflected in the water fountain.
I went on my first urban sketching trip in 2023 to five coastal villages in Italy.I remember feeling frightened as I set up my sketchbook that first morning.My instructor,fellow sketchers and unfamiliar passers-by stopped by my side now and then.However,with each brushstroke,I soon became more and more engaged by the village's arched passageways,old streets,and lemon trees.I found that when you stand still and spend hours absorbing and describing the small details around you,you begin to appreciate a place's small differences.As a result,at the end of the five-day trip,I returned home with a deeper comprehension of Italian cuisine,customs and architecture.
“As an art instructor,it's wonderful to see how each participant brings a fresh perspective to what's in front of them,"says Alicia Aradilla,who has completed more than 700 watercolors from 20 countries and now leads urban sketching workshops and trips."Every sketchbook ends up being different;I find it incredibly appealing."
What do we know about urban sketching
It captures the natural landscape. B.It involves drawing and writing.
C.It is launched by French artists. D.It is a fresh approach to indoor art.
What is a problem for people going on blitz travel
Views are explored in a hurry. B.Some of the scenes are invisible.
C.Destinations are hard to reach. D.Photos are banned in some places.
How did the author feel at the end of his first urban sketch trip to Italy
He was scared of fellow sketchers. B.His cultural understanding deepened.
C.He became crazy about Italian food. D.His drawings needed to be polished.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph
Urban sketchers can be creative and original.
Sketch books are more appealing than photos.
Urban sketching trips are in over 20 countries.
D.Watercolors are the main style of urban sketching.
C
The soundtrack of modern life is overwhelming,from the roar of traffic to smartphones streaming videos around the clock.This has sent many people searching for a soundscape increasingly difficult to find:quiet.
"I don't think we're wired for the amount of noise we experience,"says Norway-based psychologist Olga Lehmann,whose work centers on silence.Overexposure to noise pollution—particularly sounds above 85 decibels(分贝),roughly the level of a loud restaurant —can lead to hearing loss,high blood pressure,and stress.The World Health Organization named noise pollution a leading environmental cause of health issues,topped only by air pollution.
A few trends have shown the growing demand for quiet,particularly among younger generations,like silent walking,a phenomenon that went viral on TikTok last year as creators promoted the value of walking without distractions —no podcasts,music,or phone calls.The activity's widespread popularity highlights how starved digital natives are for a break from the noise.It could be as simple as sitting in a local park,museum,or library without technology for 10 minutes,or joining a silent yoga class.
Silent Book Club,which brings readers together to read for an hourwithout chatter,has recently gained popularity thanks to social media subcommunities like BookTok and Bookstagram.Despite the name,Silent Book Club events aren't entirely devoid of sound.Their meeting spaces,often local cafés,have their own noise—but a handful of no-talking coffee shops are on the rise.The latest,the new Shojo quiet café in Osaka,is run largely by deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals.Customers use sign language,handwriting,and pointing to order.
Greenerycan play a role,too.Planting rows oftrees on streets reduces noise by up to 12 decibels And living walls,like the 30,000-plant exterior(外墙)on an office building in Dusseldorf,Germany—the largest green exterior in Europe—take in noise while minimizing urban heat.
What is the second paragraph mainly about
Types of airpollution. B.Causes of health issues.
C.Pollution topped by sound. D.Harm resulting from noise.
What do we know about digital natives
They are distracted online. B.They are eager for quiet.
C.They initiated silent walking. D.They quit technology for good.
What do the underlined words "devoid of"in paragraph 4 mean
Opposed to. B.Filled with. C.Freeof. D.Upset about.
What does the author indicate by mentioning the office building
Living walls cool thecity. B.Germany excels in construction.
C.Greenery helps absorb noise. D.The largest exterior is in Europe.
D
The extreme environment of space,with reduced gravity,harsh radiation and the lack of regular sunrises and sunsets,can have dramatic effects on astronaut health,from muscle loss to an increased risk of heart disease.However,the cognitive effects of long-term space travel are less well documented.
New research has looked at the cognitive performance of 25 astronauts during their time on the International Space Station(ISS).The team put the astronauts through the same set of 10 tests both on Earth and on the ISS.These were repeated once before,twice during,and twice after the mission,within 10 and 30 days of landing.
The researchers found that the astronauts took longer to complete tests measuring processing speed,working memory and attention on the ISS than on Earth,but they were just as accurate.While there was no overall cognitive harm or lasting effect on the astronauts' abilities,some of the measures, like processing speed,took longer to return to normal after they came back to Earth.
Having clear data on the cognitive effects of space travel will be crucial for future human spaceflight,says Elisa Ferrè at the University of London.“A mission to Mars is not only longer in terms of time,but also in terms of autonomy(自主性),"says Ferre.“People there will have a completely different interaction with ground control because of distance and delays in communication,so they will need to be fully autonomous in making decisions.You definitely don't want to have astronauts on Marswith slow reaction time."
“It's not necessarily a great cause for an alarm,but it's useful to be aware so that you know your limits when you're in these extreme environments.It's not just how you perform in those tests,but also the awareness of your ability.For instance,we know that if you lack sleep,your performance will often decline,but you won't realize your performance has declined."says Jo Bower at the University of East Anglia.
How many times were the astronauts tested in the research
Five. B.Seven. C.Ten. D.Thirty.
What did the new research find about astronauts
They reacted slower on the ISS.
Their accuracy declined on Earth.
Their abilities never returned to normal.
They suffered long-term cognitive harm.
What isElisa Ferrè's attitude towards the research
Unclear. B.Negative. C.Doubtful. D.Approving
How does Jo Bower make his view clear
A.By comparing data. B.By giving an example.
C.By analyzing causes. D.By defining key concepts.

二节 书面表达(满分25分)
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。
The weather had been unusually hot.My wife Pat and I were having a cup of coffee on our deck.There was rarely any
breeze,and it was extremely wet.The sky turned dark.Lightning danced across the sky,accompanied by low,rumbling(隆隆的)thunder.The heavy air seemed to press down on us,adding to our discomfort and unease.
Suddenly,the phone rang.It was our son,David,an Army helicopter pilot.Three months earlier, he had begun a one-year assignment in a demilitarized zone(非武装区)in South Korea.David made an effortto sound cheerful,but as a man who had spent time during World War II on a small South Pacific island,I recognized the strong sense of homesickness.
A booming clap of thunder shook again.
“What was that ”David asked."It sounded like an explosion." "Just thunder,"Pat said.
There were several secondsof silence."David,"I asked,“Are you still there ”
"I was thinking about what Mother said—‘just thunder'.Other than the two of you,do you know what I miss most of
all—what many of the men say they miss Thunder.We have rain,wind, snow,and some violent storms,but never thunder.""Remember,Dad,when I was a boy,how the two of us would stretch out on the floor and listen to the thunder I wish I were there now to listen with you,"he said softly.
As soon as I hung up the phone,I got my tape recorder,my large umbrella and a wooden chair. "I'm going to record our son some thunder,"I told Pat.With lightning flashing across the sky like a display of fireworks,I satin the driving rainbeneath my umbrella and recorded half an hour of the finest Mississippi thunder a lonely man could ever want to hear.The next day I mailed the tape to David with a single line:"A special gift."
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。
David called again three weeks later.
From thenon,thunder had different meanings for Pat and me.
