(Text 10)
W：Many people ask me where my inspiration comes from，or how I've managed to write a book every year for the last 20 years.Since you all wish to be writers，I will share these so called secrets，but I'll answer the second one first.How do I write so many books？It's easy to answer.I see writing as a job.Many writers start writing because they love reading，not because they love writing.When you are working on a project，you have targets to hit along the way.So just imagine that your book is a project at work.You know roughly how many words long it will be.Let's say 100，000 words.If you write 1，000 a day，you will finish your book in just over three months.It is not difficult to write 1，000 words.Most of you have written university papers four or five times that length.You can write more than 1，000 words a day.As long as you write at least 1，000 words a day，you will have a book written in no time.Well，back to the first question—where did I get my ideas？The answer is everywhere.I read newspapers and magazines.I spend lots of time on social media and that's where a lot of my ideas come from.Our world is full of stories，and when you find one that you feel strongly about，that's what you should write about.
第二部分 阅读
第一节
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了阿姆斯特丹的NEMO Science Museum，包括它的特色、票价、设施和交通选择等。
21.D 细节理解题。根据Visiting NEMO部分的“Amsterdam NEMO houses loads of hands on science and technology exhibitions inside its large boat shaped building.No matter what your background is， you will learn something new and have fun in exciting games.”可知，在NEMO Science Museum人们可以通过游戏学到一些知识。
22.B 细节理解题。根据NEMO tickets部分表格中的价目可知，4岁及以上票价是C＝17.50，四岁以下儿童免费。由此可知，一对夫妇带着3岁的孩子需要付：C＝17.50*2＋0＝ C＝35。
23.C 细节理解题。根据Accessibility部分的“On foot：Weather conditions allowing， a 15 minute walk to NEMO from the Central Station is a nice option.It's worth the trip just to view the spectacular architecture and the surrounding piers (码头) and ships.”可知，从中央车站到NEMO的推荐交通方式是在天气不错的时候选择步行。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者在逐渐停止阅读后，在网友的鼓励下重拾对书籍的热爱并为之自豪的故事。
24.A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，作者故意在她的简介中列出许多经典著作是为了展示她的品味。故选A。
25.B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句可知，当作者提到书籍时，David非常激动。故选B。
26.D 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句可推知，作者通过不断地购买不同的书籍表现出喜爱阅读的样子。故选D。
27.C 推理判断题。通读最后两段尤其是最后一句“I felt him pushing me to be more of the person I used to be and more of who I wanted to be.”可知，作者坚持读完了一本书，并感到自己变成了过去的自己和想成为的人。由此可推知，作者为自己重拾对书籍的热爱感到自豪。故选C。
C
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候危机加剧了语言的消失，解释了语言消失背后的种种原因以及联合国对土著语言的保护措施。
28.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This ‘catastrophic’ loss is being intensified by the climate crisis，according to linguists.If nothing is done， conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7，000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.”以及第二段中“Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害)， with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia， the US， South Africa and Argentina were extinct.”可知，作者主要关心的是语言的消失。
29.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Vanuatu， a South Pacific island nation measuring 12，189km2， has 110 languages， the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet.It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise， she says.‘Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.’ Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices， leading to migration.”可推知，第三段提到瓦努阿图是为了说明少数民族语言社区的情况。
30.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is ‘not only important for them， but for all humanity’， said Csaba Korosi， the UN general assembly president， urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.”可知，国际土著语言十年的目标是保护土著社区的语言。
31.B 标题归纳题。根据第一段内容，结合文章主要说明了气候危机加剧了语言的消失，解释了语言消失背后的种种原因以及联合国对土著语言的保护措施可知，B最符合文章标题。
D
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍使用健身追踪器可以使你每天的步数增加一英里多。
32.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But do you really know how much physical activity you're getting！”可知，人们在锻炼时没有监测身体活动量。
33.A 词义猜测题。根据后文“People find ways to incorporate (融入) more activities into their day， walking during meetings， or simply taking the stairs instead of an elevator.”可知，当有一个客观的每日记录可以让人们意识到自己的运动量有多少时，人们会想办法在一天中加入更多的活动，也就是重新调整他们的心态，所以recalibrate应该是“重新调整”之意，和A项“Adjust(调整)”词义相近。
34.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Martin suggests， ‘Once you've made a match， you can try the next steps：Use the tracker consistently every day...’”可知，马丁建议人们购买一个合适的设备，每天使用。
35.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘I think technology can be a very powerful tool to get people moving more，’ says Martin.”可推知，马丁认为健身追踪器的未来是有发展前景的。
第二节

36.G 空前“The natural world is amazing.In fact， it is one that you can have a ‘conversation’ with.”说明我们可以和大自然交流，空后说“Apart from the obvious—that it's an enjoyable， uplifting thing to do—you may seek to communicate with nature to benefit your mental health， for example.”，这是在说与自然交流的目的，G选项引出下文与自然交流的目的，因此承上启下。
37.D 空前说“When you arrive at your chosen spot， sit quietly for a few moments.”，空后说“Just talk in your head as you would to someone you're opening a conversation with.”，说明此处是在说与自然交流的过程，空格处应该承接空前的内容，说然后该怎么做，D选项是与自然交流的一个步骤，因此承上启下，符合语境。
38.B 空后说“A million ways.You may notice a particular animal or insect coming closer to you and communicating energetically.You may notice a rhythm (韵律) or a pattern in the sound of the water or of the wind.”，这是在说自然回应你的方式，因此空格处应该是提问你如何知道自然在回应你，B选项提出该如何知道大自然在回应你，因此引起下文，符合语境。
39.A 空前说“The first few times you attempt this exercise， you probably won't see， hear or notice anything you choose to interpret as communication.”，说明刚开始你可能感觉不到你在和大自然交流，空后说“If you practice this on a regular basis， however， you will start to pick things up.”说明这是需要练习的，也就是需要时间，A选项说明与自然交流是需要时间练习的，因此承上启下，符合语境。
40.C 空后说“There should be some benefit to nature， just as there is a benefit to you.”，说明与自然交流是对你和对自然都有好处的，也就是双向的，C选项说明了与自然交流是双向的，因此引起下文，符合语境。

44.A 根据下文“after each quarrel”可知，二人开始在一些事情上产生分歧了。
45.A 根据上文“He seemed really angry while I seemed polite.”可知，作者也很生气，但是不表现出来。
46.A 根据上文“I was 45 too，but I was used to not showing it on the outside.”可知，作者也很生气，但是不表现出来，因此此处是说作者内心的不满开始扩大。

48.C 根据第二段的“He seemed really angry while I seemed polite.”可知，作者希望丈夫改变态度。
49.B 根据上文“Either you change your 48 when we fight or I will start avoiding any discussion，otherwise”可知，如果二人不做出相应改变，这会影响他们的关系。

51.D 根据下文“filled with the same amount of the same water”可知，此处是指两个相似的容器。
52.A 根据下文“you got to boil first，to cool down faster”可知，此处对比的是沸水和常温下的水，因此空格处是“温度”。

54.B 根据上文“The connection he suggested”可知，第一次听说这个理论的作者认为丈夫提出的联系有待证实。

第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了鲸鱼体积逐渐变大的原因。
56.weighing 考查现在分词。动词weigh“重量为”与主语whale“鲸鱼”为主谓关系，故使用现在分词形式作后置定语。
57.that 考查定语从句。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是animal，关系词在从句中作主语，且先行词前有形容词最高级修饰，应用关系代词that。
58.them 考查代词的宾格。空处作动词see的宾语，应用人称代词的宾格形式，故填them。
59.researchers 考查名词复数。researcher研究人员，可数名词，other后接可数名词的复数形式，表示“其他的研究人员”，故填researchers。
60.what 考查主语从句。分析句子可知，believe后是省略that的宾语从句，空处引导主语从句，引导词在主语从句中作主语，指物，应用连接代词what引导。
61.easily 考查副词。此处应用副词形式easily，修饰后面的形容词available“可获得的”。
62.An 考查不定冠词。age在句中用作可数名词，此处泛指“即将到来的冰河时代”，应用不定冠词，且oncoming发音以元音音素开头，应用an，首字母应大写。
63.brought 考查一般过去时。此处是and连接的并列谓语动词，句子是一般过去时，空处应和made保持一致，用动词过去式，故填brought。
64.larger 考查形容词比较级。根据句意可知，吃得多的鲸鱼存活下来，体型变得更大，而且前文一直探讨的是体积的变大，故此处应该使用形容词比较级。
65.had been 考查过去完成时。结合句意可知，此处be表示的动作发生在动词“grew”之前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。

I was always a reader.As a kid，I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading with a torch.I did my undergraduate degree in English and went on to get a master's in literature.When I created my online profile，I made my screen name “missbibliophile”.Filling out the “favorite books” section，I let my taste in literature speak for me：One Hundred Years of Solitude，A Moveable Feast，White Teeth，The Namesake，The Known World.
But I realized it had been more than two years since I had read most of those titles.I had stopped reading gradually，the way one heals or dies.
David was my online friend.His profile said he liked to read，so I asked him about his last book.His face lit up and his fingers danced.I told him I only read one book that year.“But it's June.Read a book！” he said.
I was painfully aware of the glaring hypocrisy(虚伪) in my life.I defended the virtues of bookstores in the age of online retailing and bought books，and they sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes.
His suggestion on “reading a book” echoed in my head.One afternoon，I picked up one I'd bought only for its poetic title.I had a hard time getting into it.Whenever I was tempted to give up on it，I thought of David.I pushed through the first two chapters and discovered a new narrator and I loved the alternating points of view.I read at lunch and on my walk home，occasionally lifting my eyes to avoid strangers and uneven road surface.I stayed up late and finished the book.
I felt great and proud of myself.The last time I'd pulled an all nighter to read，I was 12.I felt him pushing me to be more of the person I used to be and more of who I wanted to be.
24.Why did the author purposely list many classics in her profile？
A.To show her taste.
B.To list books read.
C.To fill out the form.
D.To indicate her ability.
25.How much do we know about David？
A.He is interested in dancing.
B.He is excited about books.
C.He is curious about the Internet.
D.He is patient with strangers.
26.How did the author try to appear fond of reading？
A.By refusing online books.
B.By decorating her house with books.
C.By wandering about bookstores.
D.By constantly buying different books.
27.Why did the author feel proud of herself？
A.She stayed up all night.
B.She finished reading a book.
C.She regained passion for books.
D.David pushed her to read.
C
Every 40 days a language dies.This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis， according to linguists.If nothing is done，conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7，000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害)，with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia，the US，South Africa and Argentina were extinct.The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered，” says Anastasia Richl，director of the Strathy language unit at Queen's University in Kingston，Ontario.Huge factors are globalization and migration，as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued，according to Richl.“It seems particularly cruel，” she says，“that most of the world's languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu，a South Pacific island nation measuring 12，189km2，has 110 languages，the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet.It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise，she says.“Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices，leading to migration.
In response to the crisis，the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022.Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them，but for all humanity”，said Csaba Korosi，the UN general assembly president，urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.

You know exercise is heart smart and good for you.But do you really know how much physical activity you're getting？ Studies show that using a fitness tracker—a device that tracks your movement—can increase your steps per day by more than a mile.
“Fitness trackers are a great tool for heart health，” says cardiologist (心脏病医生) Seth Martin.“Being more active and changing your habits is important but difficult.Tracking likely helps people when combined with a clear goal to shoot for.”
Having an objective daily record can open people's eyes to how little exercise they're getting，Martin says，which can recalibrate their mindset (心态) and get them motivated.People find ways to incorporate (融入) more activities into their day，walking during meetings，or simply taking the stairs instead of an elevator.“Fitness tracking gives people information and enables them to start making changes for heart health，” Martin says.
Try a few trackers until you find one that's comfortable for you and your budget.Martin suggests，“Once you've made a match，you can try the next steps：Use the tracker consistently every day.Set a goal and then find activities you enjoy that also fit into your daily life and can be sustained over the long term.Finally，encourage friends and family to use trackers as well.It can create a social support network and even foster a sense of competition.Follow these tips，and you'll be on your way to a healthier lifestyle and a healthier heart.”
So be ready，as doctors learn and introduce even better ways to use these devices.In a randomized clinical trial，Martin and his colleagues tested an automated，real time，personalized program that sent coaching text messages to cardiology patients based on data from a wearable device paired with their phone.Over the short term，this coaching system helped increase step counts by over a mile a day beyond tracking alone.“I think technology can be a very powerful tool to get people moving more，” says Martin.
32.According to Paragraphs 1－2，what do people fail to do when exercising？
A.Integrate movement into work.
B.Maintain a daily exercise schedule.
C.Kick improper habits of exercising.
D.Monitor the amount of physical activity.
33.What does the underlined word “recalibrate” in Paragraph 3 mean？
A.Adjust. B.Abandon.
C.Strengthen. D.Evaluate.
34.What does Martin suggest people do？
A.Encourage the family to attend competitions.
B.Take exercise under the guidance of a coach.
C.Purchase a proper device and use it every day.
D.Consult a doctor and decide on suitable activities.
35.What does Martin think of the future of fitness trackers？
A.Uncertain. B.Promising.
C.Doubtful. D.Sustainable.

Communicating with Nature
The natural world is amazing.In fact，it is one that you can have a “conversation” with. 36 Apart from the obvious—that it's an enjoyable，uplifting thing to do—you may seek to communicate with nature to benefit your mental health，for example.
When you arrive at your chosen spot，sit quietly for a few moments. 37 Just talk in your head as you would to someone you're opening a conversation with.“Hey，I'm Nikki.How are you doing today？ Do you have time for a chat？” It doesn't matter what you say，so long as you say it with an open heart，and you make it clear that you're inviting communication.
38 A million ways.You may notice a particular animal or insect coming closer to you and communicating energetically.You may notice a rhythm (韵律) or a pattern in the sound of the water or of the wind.Be mindful of what's going on around you，be part of the natural world—you'll soon notice so many ways in which your answers may come.
The first few times you attempt this exercise，you probably won't see，hear or notice anything you choose to interpret as communication. 39 If you practice this on a regular basis，however，you will start to pick things up.As you become more and more familiar with the oneness of yourself and the world around you，you will sense and understand more about what will occur during your “conversations”.
40 There should be some benefit to nature，just as there is a benefit to you.When your time is over and you're ready to leave，say thank you energetically and in your mind，but also say thank you in a practical way.Leave the area in a better state than you found it，for example，by picking up rubbish on your way out.
A.That's OK.It doesn't happen overnight.
B.How will you know if nature responds to you？
C.Communication with nature should be a two way street.
D.And then ask to communicate with the nature around you.
E.How can you start communicating with the natural world？
F.It just depends on what you choose for your “conversation”.
G.You may be wondering why you might want to communicate with nature.

Until a few years ago，I was a calm person.If you were going to offend me or verbally 41 me，I almost never lost temper 42 ； of course I felt hurt，but I didn't show it.
Then，one day，I met my husband and I fell in love with him，a proud 43 who loudly discusses things even with himself when he's not happy.Things，however，got worse for me when we started 44 on things.He seemed really angry while I seemed polite.Truth is that I was 45 too，but I was used to not showing it on the outside.Fight after fight，he always acted as if nothing had happened a few minutes after each quarrel，while my moments of 46 discontent started to expand until they became hours，sometimes even days.
I felt this had to change and the conversation went 47 like this：
Me：“Either you change your 48 when we fight or I will start avoiding any discussion，otherwise this will 49 our relationship.”
Him：“Did you 50 the Mpemba Effect？ If you put two 51 containers filled with the same amount of the same water into the freezer except that one has boiling water in it while the other one has water at ambient (周围的) 52 ，the boiling water will 53 faster than the ambient water.Baby，you got to boil first，to cool down faster.That's why the Italians live longer than Canadians.”
The connection he suggested is to be 54 ，but I have learned a fact I didn't know，one that has inspired me to understand that if I'm angry about something or someone，for that anger to disappear，it has to be towards the outside or otherwise it is like hiding 55 under the carpet：your house might look clean，but it is not.

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。
Another disappointing day was passing，and Bryan was driving his beat up old car home.He was out all day looking for a job.It was getting dark and light snow was coming down，so he almost didn't see the old lady standing on the side of the road.It was clear that she needed help.He pulled up in front of her obviously brand new and expensive car and got out.
While nobody had stopped to help for the last hour and there was a smile on his face，she was worried when he approached her.He didn't look safe.He looked poor and hungry.
He could see she was frightened，standing out there in the cold.He said，“I'm here to help you，ma'am.Why don't you wait in your car to keep warm？My name is Bryan.”
A tyre was flat.Bryan fetched tools from his own car to change the tyre.But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.As he was tightening her car's nuts，she rolled down the window，said thanks and asked him how much she owed him.Any amount would have been all right with her.She had already imagined all the awful things that could have happened without his help.
Bryan never thought twice about the money.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back，the next time she saw someone who needed help，she could give that person the assistance he or she needed.He waited until she started her car and drove off.It had been a cold and depressing day，but he felt good as he headed for home.
Soon the lady saw a small restaurant.She went in to grab a bite to eat and warm up before she made the last leg of her trip home.The waitress came over with a sweet smile and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair.The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的).Although the waitress looked tired and walked painfully due to the pregnancy，she still served the lady.
