It was on a gray winter's day in my parents' house outside Glasgow that I first suggested Mont Blanc in summer. I knew I should make more effort to spend time with my 74-year-old dad, but what I was proposing at his age was a risk. A ten-day hike around one of Europe's highest mountains seemed a little extreme.
"Old age doesn't come alone, "he replied, implying the memory loss from a recent life-threatening stroke. Yet, to stir memory in long-forgotten footprints seemed like the right thing to do. We booked a flight, and four months later, arrived in the shadow of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France.
That first sunlit afternoon, it was instantly obvious that we had made the right decision. The pathway ahead was quiet. Quick-footed hikers walked past us, eyes focused on a ridge (山脊)that marched south to the Italian border. But there was no sign of worry on my hiking partner's brow. Only determination.
My dad's accounts of his time in the mountains remain among the defining stories of my childhood. The first time it left its mark on me was when I uncovered a junk box full of projector slides taken in the summer of 1970, when he and two of his friends completed a previously untried route up the overwhelmingly dangerous North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland
That was now more than half his lifetime ago. And, yet, here we were, marching side by side around the Mont Blanc, tracing an invisible route with our fingers over the same harsh summits he had conquered long ago. What I had always seen as an obsession with the mountains revealed itself to be a bond that I never knew we had.
By the end of the week, I sensed we may have achieved what we both had thought impossible. We made our final push towards the Col duBrévent above the Chamonix valley. We climbed up into a narrow world of stone, meeting Mont Blanc face on.
To capture the moment, I took a photo, but only then did it dawn on me that it was nearly the same composition as on a slide I had first seen in one of those junk boxes. There was that smile, those eyes fixed on the horizon, the beautiful Alpine ridges of Mont Blanc crowding out the background. For a split second, it looked as if nothing had changed.
24. According to the article, what directly motivated the author to hike with his father
A. His father's insistence on climbing Mont Blanc.
B. His father's memory loss from a stroke.
C. His dream of traveling with his father again.
D. His wish to visit one of Europe's highest mountains.
25. What can we learn about the hike around Mont Blanc from the article
A. They passed through three countries in ten days.
B. The author's father was initially confident of doing it.
C. It changed the author's attitude towards his father's hobby.
D. It brought back the pleasant memories of the author's father.
26. According to the article, which of the following best describes the author's father
A. A hopeful patient. B. An adventurous climber.
C. A responsible father. D. An appreciative photographer.
27. What did the author realize after taking the family picture
A. It was never too late to accompany his father.
B. He and his father changed with time passing by.
C. Everything changes with time except the mountains.
D. The father's passion for the mountains didn't fade with age.

The Piraha are a primitive Amazonian tribe(部落) of hunter-gatherers who live deep in the Brazilian rainforest. The tribe has survived, their culture well-preserved, for centuries, although there are now only around 200 left. The Piraha, who communicate mainly through sounds and whistles, have fascinated scientists for years, mainly because they have almost no words for numbers. They use only three words to count one, two, and many.
We know about the Piraha thanks to Professor Dan Everelt, who spent seven years with the tribe in the 70s and 80s. Everelt discovered a world without numbers, without time, without words for colors, without clauses and without a past tense. Their language, he found, was not just simple grammatically; it was limited in its range of sounds and differed between the sexes. For the men, it has just 11 speech sounds; for the women, it has only 10, the smallest number of speech sounds in the world. The language sounds more like humming than speech. The Piraha can also whistle their language, which is how men communicate when hunting.
Their culture is similarly constrained. The Piraha can't write, have little collective memory, and no concept of decorative art. In 1980 Everelt tried to teach them to count, he explained basic counting skills to an enthusiastic group fond of learning them to trade with other tribes. After eight months, not one could count to ten; even one plus one was beyond them. The experiment seemed to confirm Everelt's theory: the tribe just couldn't understand the
concept of number.
The Piraha's inability to count is important because it seems to disprove Noam Chomsky's influential Theory of Universal Grammar, which holds that the human mind has a natural ability for language, and that all languages share a basic rule structure, which enables children to understand abstract concepts such as number. One of Chomsky's workmates has recently gone on an expedition(远征) to study the tribe. We do not yet know if the Piraha have persuaded him to change his theory.
28. What's the Piraha's major attraction to researchers
A. A well-preserved lifestyle. B. A small existing population.
C. A unique communicative way. D. An extremely simple counting system.
29. What can we learn about the Piraha according to Everelt's findings
A. They use few speech sounds. B. Women speak less than men.
C. Their grammar is complicated. D. They communicate only by whistling.
30. What does the underlined word"constrained"mean in Paragraph 3
A. Strange. B. Attractive. C. Limited. D. Respectable.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Findings about the Piraha help us know more about human mind.
B. The Piraha's inability to count challenges an existing theory of grammar.
C. A researcher is making an exploration to study the Piraha's counting ability.
D. Languages have a similar structure so we can understand abstract concepts.
D
The crowd holds its breath. High above them on the climbing wall, hanging upside down by the tips of two fingers, is the French climber Francois Lombard. He is competing in the World Cup Climbing Championships at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena.
The National Indoor Arena is more famous for staging the TV show Gladiators, but the television programme and the World Cup Climbing Championships share at least one feature-The Wall. And the fact that either event is possible is the result of a new and rapidly developing technology.
Until the mid-1960s, climbers practised their skills on cliffs in areas where there was a plentiful supply of good climbing angles. During the winter they would either put up with the cold weather, go walking instead or climb on snow and ice in Scotland.
However, as the sport developed it was increasingly important for top climbers to keep fit. With the cliffs unusable for much of the year, they used brick-edges or stone buildings to‘work out' on. This allowed them to keep their fingers strong, and beat off the boredom of not being able to climb. It wasn't long before many sports centres started building walls specifically for the task, using bricks with special edges to cling on to.
Many of these early walls followed the example set by Don Robinson, a teacher of physical education who, during the mid - 1960s, constructed a climbing wall in a corridor of his
department at Leeds University. Robinson developed the idea of setting natural rock in a block of concrete, which could then be included in a wall.
Scores of climbing walls of this kind were built in sports halls up and down the country throughout the 1970s but they had obvious design problems. Walls could only be built in a vertical plane(垂直面), while cliffs outside have features like overhangs and angled slabs(石板)of rock. There was the added problem that once the walls were up, their patterns were fixed and climbers would eventually tire of their repetitive nature, despite thinking of every combination of holds possible.
In 1985, a Frenchman, Francois Savigny, developed a material which he made into shapes like those that
climbers would find on the cliffs. These could be fixed onto any existing wall and then taken off when climbers got bored with a particular combination.
32. What can be learned about the climbers before the mid-1960s
A. They relied on stone buildings for practice.
B. They found no place for training in the winter.
C. They practised their skills in a natural environment.
D. They were dissatisfied with their training equipment.
33. The phrase"cling on to" (in paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to"___".
A. hold firmly B. adapt to C. take a close look at D. keep away from
34. What problem did the climbing walls developed by Don Robinson have
A. They were a great drain on climbers' energy.
B. They looked too much like natural cliffs.
C. They were not secure enough.
D. They could not be altered.
35. According to the passage, climbing walls with the Frenchman' material are more ___ .
A. challenging B. flexible C. popular D. stable

Niesha could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr. Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Today had been Niesha's turn. However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn't read her notes. Her voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly ended Niesha’ s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment.

"Mr. Roberts had hesitated, "If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage "Niesha had nodded, grateful for the chance. She had gone as quickly as she could to her next class. She had kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
When she reached her back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking. Momma studiedNiesha's face as she came into the kitchen. "What's wrong, Niesha "
Tears sh one inNiesha's brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Momma was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake. "Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can't talk to your class "Momma asked. She set the timer and then said, "Let me show you something. "
Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom. There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon that said"First Place"and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.
"I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team,but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn't easy at first - not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage. "

Improving Students'Physical Health
My name is Li Hua,a freshman at our school.I'm eager to delve into the significance of
enhancing students'physical health.There are some suggestions to improve our physical health.
To elevate our physical well-being,I propose two key strategies:regular exercise and a
balanced diet.Firstly,participating in sports such as running and swimming can effectively
strengthen our muscles and optimize our health.Secondly,consuming nutritious foods guarantees
that our bodies are adequately supplied with the essential vitamins and minerals vital for growth
and recovery.
The importance of these suggestions cannot be overstated.They not only amplify our energy
levels but also enhance our concentration in class.A fit body nurtures a healthy mind,ultimately
fostering exceptional academic performance and holistic well-being.

参考范文
Hearing Momma's words,Niesha gazed at the precious blue ribbon,lost in thought.She
imagined the scene where her momma tried her best to overcome her fears and pluck up her
courage to deliver a fantastic speech to the audience.Perceiving Neisha's anxiety,Momma
reassured her and reached out her hand to tie the blue ribbon onto Niesha's wrist with a disarming
smile.Restored and determined,she gritted her teeth to find her courage.In front of the mirror
parked Neisha continuously practicing from pronunciation to tone,even gesture."Try harder,
she perked herself up when drowsiness fell upon her.
Paragraph 2:
The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation.
Shy,she customarily lowered her head and averted her gaze,numb there for seconds.Shortly
afterwards,courage found its way back the moment she caught sight of the blue ribbon.
Comforted and inspired,she took a deep breath,summoned up her courage,"Dear fellow
students,..."Niesha cast a glance at Mr.Roberts standing in the corner smiling at her.A self-
reassuring smile spread across Niesha's face.She knew for sure that she had found her courage,in
the mill and in the adversity.
