Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist known for his best-selling tales of romance(浪漫) and heartbreak.
Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight. He attended the University of Notre Dame on a track scholarship, but an injury ended his athletic career and led him to write his first unpublished novel. In1988, he graduated with a major in business and held a variety of jobs. In the early1990s, he and his wife, Cathy Cote, settled in North Carolina, which later provided a setting for his novels.
While working his day job, Sparks continued to write. He cooperated with former Olympic runner Billy Mills on Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding. The book, which was inspired by a Native American legend, was published in 1990. Determined to become a professional writer, Sparks spent several months working on The Notebook, his first published novel, which hit The New York Times best-seller list immediately after it reached the public in 1996. By the time the film adaptation(改编) was released in 2004, Sparks had published seven more novels.
Although Sparks's fiction usually involves love stories, he rejects the suggestion that he is a“romance novelist”. His supporters agree that Sparks explores more-serious subject matter, such as loneliness, sadness, and loss, and that many of his books feature less-than-happy endings. That is also evident in his only nonfiction work, Three Weeks with My Brother, in which he and his brother, Micah, share their own emotional responses to the deaths of their parents and sister.
Sparks has devoted much of his time and literary profits to writing programs at Notre Dame and to charitable causes, most notably the Nicholas Sparks Foundation,which he and his wife established in 2011.
24. What led Sparks to write his first novel
A. A scholarship. B. His marriage. C. An accident. D. His major.

When Kyle D’ Costa and his wife met Rio, a nine-month-old shih tzu(西施犬),in 2021, “it was love at first sight”. The new couple soon added a Lhasa Apso (拉萨犬)and rented a bigger flat to give the animals“more space”.
The D’ Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets.According to Statista, a research company, India há d 19.4 million pet dogs in 2018 and may now have 31 million. In 2021, Market Decipher, another research organization,valued India's pet industry at 890 million dollars and said that it would continue to grow by 3 times over the next 10 years.
Actually, the pet industry is growing at a fast rate throughout the world. With rising incomes comes increased pet-ownership, especially among young professionals who tend to put off marriage and parenthood and to be extremely willing to enjoy the company of a dog. It is only a matter of time before marriage websites include a pet-friendly option.
As keeping pets becomes increasingly popular, so do those working in the industry. “Being in this trade was despised just five years ago,” says Chinmay, a 30-ycar-old dog trainer in Thane, Mumbai. “How will you find a girlfriend ” he recalls his relatives asking him. But dog trainers in Mumbai can these days earn 2,400 rupees
(S30) an hour — more than twice as much as piano teachers. Chinmay is now happily married to one of his customers.
Current pet-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world's biggest food company, last year bought into Purina Petcare, an Indian pet-food business. Emami, an Indian company, targeting daily goods, offers medicines for pets.Euro monitor International, a market-research company, thinks India's pet-food industry is worth 480 million dollars and will grow to $1.2 billion by 2025.
28. Why are the figures listed in Paragraph 2
A. To present the benefits of raising pets.
B. To show the popularity of keeping pets.
C. To stress the significance of pet industry.
D. To express dissatisfaction with the situation.
29. What do young professionals prefer to do nowadays
A. Earn higher income. B. Get married early.
C. Draw comfort from pets. D. Choose friendly pets.
30. What does the underlined word“despised” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Paid attention to. B. Shown respect for.
C. Looked down on. D. Taken advantage of.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. India's pet-food industry is worth $1.2 billion.
B. Pet-industry is changing people's career options.
C. Nestle has earned a lot in Indian pet-food business.
D. More companies will have a hand in the pet industry.

Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast(预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren't dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy of extreme weather
石嘴山2024-2025学年第二学期高一年级第一次月考英语试题 2025.03
forecasts. “We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed,” explains Shruti Nath,a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
The model is being used in Kenya and Ethiopia now. If successful in East Africa,researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.
32. What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph
A. The necessity of using the new weather forecast model.
B. The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C. The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D. The little progress made in weather forecasts.
33. How does the new weather forecast model work
A. It needs much less observational data.
B. It uses supercomputers to deal with data.
C. It depends on AI instead of the former way.
D. It joins AI and the traditional method together.
34. What can we say about the new weather forecast model
A. It runs easily. B. It is low-cost.
C. It doesn't work as wished. D. It is geographically limited.
35. What can be the most suitable title for the text
A. AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast
B. Uncertainty of Weather Forecast with AI
C. Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
D. Challenges of Traditional Weather Forecast Model(

MD. founder of the Comite Center for Precision Medicine & amp; Health.

Rollerblading requires use of an individual's core muscles to keep them upright and balanced. “Rollerblading uses a greater side-to-side striding motion,” ite says. “It requires using your arms and balancing which involves your core muscle to stabilize your spine.” A recent research also found that exercises such as rollerblading and roller-skating have been shown to improve balance among older adults.
Burn calories
Not only is rollerblading fun, but it can also burn a lot of calories in a short period of time. According to Harvard Medical School, an individual can burn upwards of 600calories per hour when rollerblading. 39
Boost mood
40 That's because the body will release endorphins, a biochemical that helps enhance your mood. Plus, if you love the feeling of rollerblading, the benefits may be even better: A 2017 review published in Brain Plasticity indicates that enjoying your workout can make its lift to your mood last up to a day after you’ re done

When Kyle D’ Costa and his wife met Rio, a nine-month-old shih tzu(西施犬),in 2021, “it was love at first sight”. The new couple soon added a Lhasa Apso (拉萨犬)and rented a bigger flat to give the animals“more space”.
The D’ Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets.According to Statista, a research company, India há d 19.4 million pet dogs in 2018 and may now have 31 million.

Current pet-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world's biggest food company, last year bought into Purina Petcare, an Indian pet-food business. Emami, an Indian company, targeting daily goods, offers medicines for pets.Euro monitor International, a market-research company, thinks India's pet-food industry is worth 480 million dollars and will grow to $1.2 billion by 2025.

Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast(预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren't dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy of extreme weather

forecasts. “We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed,” explains Shruti Nath,a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
The model is being used in Kenya and Ethiopia now. If successful in East Africa,researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.
32. What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph

B. The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C. The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D. The little progress made in weather forecasts.
33. How does the new weather forecast model work
A. It needs much less observational data.
B. It uses supercomputers to deal with data.
C. It depends on AI instead of the former way.
D. It joins AI and the traditional method together.
34. What can we say about the new weather forecast model
A. It runs easily. B. It is low-cost.
C. It doesn't work as wished. D. It is geographically limited.
35. What can be the most suitable title for the text
A. AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast

C. Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
