With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London
Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich
Sitting on the edge of the University of East Anglia’s campus, the Sainsbury Centre holds a collection of remarkable works of art spanning over 2,000 years. Inside the seminal Norman Foster building, you’ll find artworks from around the world, including some stunning pieces of European modern art by Degas, Francis Bacon, and Alberto Giacometti.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire
Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century.
Whitworth, Manchester
After a sky-high 15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace(露台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions.

Back in 1958, I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746. The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamline d black tender(车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately, the amazing 746 also had an amazing price—$50, equal to about $450 today. That was far more than my grandfather could afford. Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed, and I was in my 30s. Superior sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, so did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one-look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the center of the room, and let my childhood dream sing its way around me. Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender. It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
4. Which best describes the 746 in the author’s eyes
A. Its measurement was at a disadvantage.
B. Its price rocketed from $50 to $450.
C. Its beauty had a special appeal.
D. It was the largest train in 1958.
5. How did the author feel when receiving his little Lionel plastic
A. Visibly relieved. B. Slightly discontented.
C. Really delighted. D. Terribly ashamed.
6. What happened to the author in his 30s
A. He left his grandfather alone.
B. He didn’t favor the 746 at all.
C. He admired advanced toy trains.
D. He attempted not to recall the past.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The 746: A Perfect Gift from My Grandfather B. Toy Trains: Memories of A Generation
C. The 746: Childhood Memories of Love D. Toy Trains: Childhood in History
C
Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes. Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football so you know what you’re fueling for.”
Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same: Any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It’s a key part of the training process. It’s not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads(护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can’t get out if you haven’t put in.”
Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant(斗志昂扬的) types telling what athletes can and can’t eat. But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says. It’s a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. “A lot of boxers say, ‘but bananas make you fat, right ’, and there’s this inherent belief that we mustn’t eat those kinds of things. But it’s not about what to cut out. It’s about making sure that you’ve got the foundation right for health and performance. It’s that one size fits one. It’s what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater.”
8. What does Cathy think about her job
A. It hardly faces new challenges in every competition.
B. It mainly focuses on the duration of matches.
C. It merely needs to understand nutrition and people.
D. It highly values experience and flexibility.
9. How does Cathy emphasize the importance of nutrition to athletes
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing a phenomenon.
C. By telling a story. D. By providing data.
10. According to Cathy, what is a fundamental principle behind successful sports nutrition
A. Focusing on the timing of the diet. B. Cutting out specific foods from the diet.
C. Following a strict and militant diet plan. D. Increasing the variety of foods.
11. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Food has a say in the sports field.
B. Nutritionists act as unsung heroes behind athletes.
C. Nutrition determines the results in the competition.
D. A good eater is a great athlete.
D
Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips(微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end
Well, if certain people have their way, it’ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted(植入) into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.
For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.
However, it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines(疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.
Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface(接口) implants is still far away from us.
12. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. A summary of the article. B. An introduction to the main topic.
C. An overview of the whole article. D. An argument over the main topic.
13. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3
A. The process of human-computer interaction.
B. The possible treatment for particular diseases.
C. The future of microchips and devices alike.
D. The existing application of microchip implants.
14. How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality
A. They may reject it. B. They may expect it.
C. They may adjust to it. D. They may feel curious about it.
15. Which word can best describe the technology of computer-brain interface implants
A. Imaginary. B. Practical. C. Unfulfilled. D. Impossible.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Hop on the Silent Walking Trend
Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection. 16 That’s a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here’s everything you need to know about the trend.
Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. 17 Meanwhile, consciously observing the sights, sounds, smells, and physical sensations during the walk can significantly impact cognitive and emotional well-being.
To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. 18 And it might even be good for your brain. Scientists applaud the virtues of boredom for brain health, believing that it boosts creativity and improves social connections. And if you do get bored, rest assured that it shows you’ve disconnected from external distractions. Go with it, and make sure you take a different route each time—it’ll keep you motivated.
Start off with five-minute silent walks and eventually build up to thirty minutes. If you’re usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your go-to tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust. Chances are, once you’re a few minutes into your silent walk, you’ll feel the magic kick in. 19
Regular reflection and ongoing documentation are essential. After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. 20 Journaling about the experience can also solidify connections between thoughts and ideas, providing a valuable tool for self-reflection and growth.
A. But being bored won’t hurt you.
B. Taking different paths can lead to exciting discoveries.
C. Adjusting the routine gradually can help ease into the experience.
D. You’ll also start noticing the little things around you more clearly.
E. They can deepen understanding and serve as a record of personal growth
F. Unlike exercise-oriented walking, it isn’t about reaching certain speed or steps
G. In such an environment, you can immerse yourself in the natural soundscape(音景).

To understand a painting, we’re taught to look for color, composition, and light. But how can a painting 36 (appreciate)by someone who’s blind Through touch, the one thing gallery signs tell you not 37 (do). John Olson, a former 38 (photograph)and his team turn paintings into fully textured 3D models.
The tactile(可触知的)paintings work as a way to show art to 39 blind because we don’t see with just Our eyes: We see with our brains. Research in the field of neuroplasticity-the brain’s adaptability-shows that the visual cortex(大脑皮层)is made active by touch. Blind people recognize shapes with their 40 (exist) senses, in a way similar to that of 41 (sight )people, says Ella Striem-Amit, a Harvard scientist.
Luc Gandarias, who’s now thirteen, went blind suddenly 42 age seven. When he felt a 3D version of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” he 43 (notice)her smile right away. ”I can actually feel what you see when you look at it,” he said.
For Luc, this means 44 (independent). "The feeling of being able to see it 45 to form my opinion is like breaking down another wall as a blind person.”

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。
I was doing homework with my friend Ollie at his home when he randomly started scribbling(乱画) a fish. But not just any fish. This fish was riding a skateboard and blowing a bubble that said “I’d rather be skating!”I laughed and drew a sea star saying “Quit fooling around and get to work!”
Just then, Ollie’s grandma Abuela and her friend Mr. Goldberg came into the kitchen. Mr. Goldberg was in charge of the local animal shelter. Abuela poured their tea and inquired about how things were going at the animal shelter. Mr. Goldberg sighed, shaking his head. He explained that not enough people were adopting pets, resulting in too many animals without homes.
Overhearing the conversation, Ollie offered to adopt some excitedly. But Abuela said that one noisy parrot was plenty for this house.
“Blue isn’t noisy,” defended Ollie. “He’s just musical.”
“I’d have a whole farm full of animals if I could,” I said. “But my parents say two cats and a hamster
(仓鼠) are enough.”
Mr. Goldberg said he kept trying to attract people to adopt animals, but found it hard to get people’s attention these days. Ollie drew a sad whale, and I wrote the words “Please adopt me” in the shape of a whale spout (喷水). Mr. Goldberg took a look at our drawings and made favorable comments on them, saying that these clever talking animals just might grab people’s attention. And he asked us if we were willing to design a poster for his animal shelter, a proposal we happily accepted. We decided to draw some ideas on our own and meet up again the next afternoon.
That night, when I was sitting in the living room brainstorming ideas for the poster, my little brother brought in our hamster, Mr. Nibbles, to give him a little run-around time. He made a hamster playground out of couch pillows and Mr. Nibbles began to run around merrily.
Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind.

Dear Adam,
Hope this email finds you well. I’m Li Hua, writing to share some concerns regarding our English drama elective class.
It has come to my attention that the choice of scripts may not be engaging enough for all students, and the timing seems to conflict with other important school activities. To address these problems, it is better to hold a meeting to discuss how we can choose suitable scrips and the appropriate time.
Should it be possible, I truly hope you can take my suggestion into consideration.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua

Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind. Why not put Mr. Nibbles on the poster I eagerly sketched out a design featuring Mr. Nibbles in a playful pose, promoting the joy of pet adoption, "Want a pet to play with Go get one in the local animal shelter." I admired my work with great satisfaction. The next afternoon, Ollie came over with his notebook. His design was centered on his parrot, Blue, who was singing beautifully "Oh! Be our hero! Give shelter pets a chance to be loved!" We exchanged a smile and engaged in a discussion about the final draft of the poster.
We decided to make both Mr. Nibbles and Blue the stars of the bining my playful hamster and Ollie's melodious parrot, we created a vibrant and eye-catching design. After adding the final touches, we proudly presented our final creation to Mr. Goldberg. His faces lit up as he praised the creativity and heartfelt message behind our design. A couple of months later, Mr. Goldberg shared the exciting news that lots of people had come in after seeing the posters. And some of them decided to donate or adopt! We hadn't expected our poster would cause such a sensation, but we did know our small bit of help would create a meaningful ripple.

Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.(它以举办一些让每个人都在谈论的展览而闻名于世。此外，RA的独特之处在于它通过参与式体验与公众互动，让参观者不仅可以观看艺术，还可以以创新的方式成为艺术的一部分)”可知，皇家艺术学院的特别之处在于它提供的是一种互动体验。故选A项。
2. 细节理解题。根据Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire部分中“Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air.(当谈到我们传统上如何看待艺术时，约克郡雕塑公园打破了规则，通过在露天展示英国和国际艺术家的作品，努力打破障碍)”和Whitworth, Manchester部分中“Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored.(画廊充分利用其风景如画的公园环境，拥有一个美丽的艺术花园和一个雕塑露台, 所有这些都有待探索)”可知，约克郡雕塑公园和惠特沃斯画廊的共同之处在于它们都提供户外环境。故选B项。
3. 推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第一段“With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.(拥有如此强大的艺术遗产，英国在世界一流的艺术画廊中脱颖而出也就不足为奇了。这些是你需要添加到你的必游列表的画廊)”可知，这段文本很可能摘自一本旅行指南。故选D项。
B篇
4. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamline d black tender (车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me. (光滑的子弹头发动机，橙色和黄色的线条，闪亮的流线型黑色发动机似乎对我下了魔咒。)和第二段“Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high. (发动机和车厢加在一起差不多有2英尺—按照当时的玩具火车标准，这是巨大的。更好的是，746有一个工作的前灯和喷烟器，火车声音响亮。)”可知，作者对746玩具火车非常迷恋，认为它非常完美，无以伦比，它的美丽具有特殊的吸引力。故选C。
5. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead, I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic, which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight, no smoker or no sound! (相反，我不得不满足于他的小Lionel塑料，它比746短6英寸，没有前灯，没有喷烟器，也没有声音！)”可知，在作者看来，这个小Lionel 塑料和746相比差得太多，所以稍微有点不满意。故选B。
6. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Years passed, and I was in my 30s. Superior sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains. I never gave a look. My interest in toy trains, I firmly believed, had faded, so did my admiration for the 746, since my grandfather was not with me. The 746 was never called to mind. On an ordinary day, however, I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show. Just one-look, I could not look away. Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind, happy or sad. (几年过去了，我已经30多岁了。先进的音响系统和电脑控制主导了玩具火车。我根本没看他一眼。我坚信，我对玩具火车的兴趣已经淡去，我对746号火车的钦佩也已经淡去，因为我的祖父没有和我在一起。人们再也没有想起746号飞机。然而，在一个平常的日子里，我碰巧看到了火车展窗外的746号列车。只要看一眼，我就无法移开视线。我试图隐藏在内心深处的童年记忆，或快乐或悲伤，在我的脑海里奔涌而过。)可知，作者30多岁时，因为祖父不在了，所以他尽量不去回忆过去。故选D。
7. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day. Even better, the 746 had a working headlight and smoker, and its tender sang high. (发动机和车厢加在一起差不多有2英尺—按照当时的玩具火车标准，这是巨大的。更好的是，746有一个工作的前灯和喷烟器，火车声音响亮。)”和最后一段“It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter. (我仿佛能看到祖父眼中柔和的光芒，听到他欢快的笑声。)”可知，文章以746火车玩具为主线，通过对作者自年少时到成年后对它情感变化的描述，表达了作者对童年时期祖父的爱的怀念。故选C。
C篇
8. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist.”(在她看来，与来自各种运动背景的运动员打交道有助于她变得经验丰富，这是成为成功营养师的关键部分。)以及“Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football so you know what you’re fueling for.”(此外，打网球你必须学会反应，因为你不知道比赛要持续多久。然而，足球比赛是90分钟，所以你知道你要为什么加油)可推知，Cathy认为她的工作需要经验丰富和灵活性，故选D。
9. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment.‘Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads(护腿板) or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks”(就像你不会忘记把护腿板或靴子放在你的装备包里，也不要忘记放入你的饮料和零食。)可推知，Cathy通过比较的方式强调营养的重要性，故选A。
10. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what.”(但Cathy坚持认为吃的时间比吃什么更重要。)可推知，Cathy认为成功的运动营养背后的基本原则是关注饮食的时间，故选A。
11. 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了营养师的工作内容、工作理念及运动员与营养之间的紧密关系，从而说明了营养师是运动场上运动员背后的无名英雄之一，故选B。
D篇
12. 推理判断题。根据第一段“There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets!(我们的手表，汽车，电灯开关，甚至我们的宠物里都有电脑芯片!)”提到电脑芯片在人们日常生活中已经是普遍存在，从这些事实引发思考：“Where will it end (它将在哪里结束？)”从而引出本文的话题：将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。故选B。
13. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains. (由于能够通过计算机远程发送和接收信息，微芯片和其他相关设备早已被植入大脑)”和第三段“For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.(例如，电极已经植入癫痫患者的大脑，以便更好地记录甚至预测异常的神经活动。类似地，通过植入设备引起大脑关键区域活动的深部脑刺激，是治疗帕金森氏症等疾病的既定方法，甚至正在研究治疗抑郁症等疾病)”可推知，作者想通过例子说明微芯片植入的现有应用。故选D。
14. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.(事实上，让陌生人在你的大脑里植入芯片的可能性很可能被证明是没有吸引力的，尤其是对于一个数百万人对疫苗中虚构的微芯片感到愤怒的人群，对于害怕牙医的人群来说更多)”可知，在现实中，大多数美国人可能会拒绝对在大脑中植入芯片。故选A。
15. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.(最终，计算机与大脑接口植入技术离我们还很遥远)”可推知，计算机与大脑接口植入技术还未实现。故选C。

七选五
16. 上文“Silent walking involves walking outdoors without distractions like music or conversations, focusing on the mind-body-nature connection.(静默行走包括在户外行走，不受音乐或对话等干扰，专注于身心自然的联系)”以及下文“That’s a slower, lower-impact way to relax and is great for fitness. Here’s everything you need to know about the trend.(这是一种较慢、影响较小的放松方式，非常适合健身。以下是您需要了解的有关趋势的所有信息)”说明静默行走是一种适合健身的运动方式。空处补充上文内容，并引出下文。F项中的it指代前文中的Silent walking，“reaching certain speed or steps”和下文中的“That’s a slower, lower-impact way”相呼应，说明静默行走不关注到特定的速度或步数，而是以一种较慢、影响较小的放松方式行走。所以F项“与以锻炼为导向的行走不同，它不关注达到特定的速度或步数”符合语境。故选F。
17. 上文“Select a natural setting and fully engage your senses. For reaping the mental health benefits, it is recommended to find a quiet and peaceful natural location. (选择一个自然的环境，充分利用你的感官。为了获得心理健康的好处，建议找一个安静、宁静的自然地点)”说明静默行走需要选择找一个安静、宁静的自然地点。空处与前文内容形成因果逻辑关系，G项中的“In such an environment”和前文中的“a quiet and peaceful natural location”相呼应，说明在这样安静和自然的环境下，你就可以沉浸在自然的音景中。故选G。
18. 上文“To stimulate the mind, consider exploring different routes than usual. Without your favourite podcast or playlist, you might slip into boredom on your walk. (为了刺激大脑，可以考虑探索与平时不同的路线。如果没有你最喜欢的播客或播放列表，你可能会在散步时陷入无聊)”说明如果平时喜欢博客等，在静默散步时就会感到无聊。空处和前文形成转折关系，所以提出的“无聊的积极影响”提供铺垫。A项中的But引出了与上文相对的观点，表明尽管无聊可能被视为不愉快的体验，但它并非有害，这为下文科学家对无聊的积极评价提供了逻辑上的衔接。A项“But being bored won’t hurt you.”符合语境。故选A。
19. 上文“If you’re usually a headphone wearer, it will feel super weird to walk without your go-to tunes, but give yourself a second to adjust. Chances are, once you’re a few minutes into your silent walk, you’ll feel the magic kick in.(如果你通常是一个戴耳机的人，在没有音乐的情况下走路会感觉非常奇怪，但给自己一秒钟的时间来调整。很有可能，当你安静地散步几分钟后，你会感觉到神奇的力量开始了)”说明当你调整自己去接受静默行走时，你会发现它神奇的力量。空处是对上文的承接，并呼应段落主题。空格所在的段落讨论了开始进行静默行走的建议，从五分钟开始，逐渐增加到三十分钟。C项“逐渐调整常规可以帮助轻松进入体验”符合语境，与上文提到的从短时间开始逐步增加时间相呼应，说明逐步调整可以帮助人们适应没有音乐的行走。故选C。
20. 上文“After completing a silent walk, take time to reflect upon any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights. (在完成一次静默行走后，花时间反思任何新出现的想法、感受或见解)”说明在完成静默行走后需要做出反思。空处与前文内容形成逻辑上的解释关系，说明反思的重要性。E项中的They指代前文中的“any emerging thoughts, feelings, or insights”，说明E“它们可以加深理解并作为个人成长的记录”符合语境，与上文建议的反思活动相呼应，强调了记录这些想法、感受或领悟对于加深个人理解和记录个人成长的重要性。故选E。

Dear Adam,
Hope this email finds you well. I’m Li Hua, writing to share some concerns regarding our English drama elective class.
It has come to my attention that the choice of scripts may not be engaging enough for all students, and the timing seems to conflict with other important school activities. To address these problems, it is better to hold a meeting to discuss how we can choose suitable scrips and the appropriate time.
Should it be possible, I truly hope you can take my suggestion into consideration.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua

Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind. Why not put Mr. Nibbles on the poster I eagerly sketched out a design featuring Mr. Nibbles in a playful pose, promoting the joy of pet adoption, "Want a pet to play with Go get one in the local animal shelter." I admired my work with great satisfaction. The next afternoon, Ollie came over with his notebook. His design was centered on his parrot, Blue, who was singing beautifully "Oh! Be our hero! Give shelter pets a chance to be loved!" We exchanged a smile and engaged in a discussion about the final draft of the poster.
We decided to make both Mr. Nibbles and Blue the stars of the bining my playful hamster and Ollie's melodious parrot, we created a vibrant and eye-catching design. After adding the final touches, we proudly presented our final creation to Mr. Goldberg. His faces lit up as he praised the creativity and heartfelt message behind our design. A couple of months later, Mr. Goldberg shared the exciting news that lots of people had come in after seeing the posters. And some of them decided to donate or adopt! We hadn't expected our poster would cause such a sensation, but we did know our small bit of help would create a meaningful ripple.
