Hiking, a form of exercise older than exercise itself, is so hot right now. From 2018 to 2021, the number of Americans hitting the trails ballooned from around 48 million to 59 million, according to the nonprofit Outdoor Foundation.
Hiking offers all the cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits of walking, but the uneven terrain (地势) does more to strengthen the leg and core muscles, which in turn boosts balance and stability, said Alicia Filley, a physical therapist. It also generally burns more calories than walking.
Spending time in nature and having experiences that inspire awe can also lower stress and anxiety. One small 2015 study found that people who walked in nature for 90 minutes were less likely to negatively ruminate (沉思) about themselves—a risk factor for depression—than those who walked in an urban environment.
Hiking does carry some risks, but taking a few simple safety precautions (预防措施) can help to ensure you get back safe and sound. If you’re a new hiker, go with a friend or a local group until you’re more experienced, Wesley Trimble said, a spokesman for American Hiking Society. And leave the selfie stick at home.
Make a habit of telling at least one person where you’ll be and of checking in afterward. Leave a note on your car dashboard (仪表板) with your route so if you’re not back by sunset, rangers will know where to find you.
Finally, to avoid injury, don’t push yourself too hard or fast through more challenging trails. Remember: The point is to be able to see the views and smell the flowers.
“Slow down, take in the scenery, listen to the birds,” said Lee Welton, a personal trainer, who prepares clients for long hikes. “Just be present in nature.”
4.What is mainly talked about in paragraphs 2 and 3
A. The boom in hiking. B. The growing number of hikers.
C. The benefits of hiking. D. A form of exercise.
5.Why does the author mention “One small 2015 study” in paragraph 3
A. To highlight its importance. B. To prove his point.
C. To advocate hitting the trails. D. To discourage city walk.
6.Why should a hiker leave a note with his route on the car dashboard
A. To remind himself to admire the sunset. B. To guarantee his enjoyment of the hike.
C. To get himself located by rangers. D. To ensure his return at the appointed time.
7.What is hikers’ first priority according to the last two paragraphs
A. Keeping away from rough trails. B. Enjoying natural scenery.
C. Relaxing while contacting nature. D. Breathing the fragrance of flowers.

How to Begin Your Running
Time is a valuable resource, especially for those who need to deal with academic demands, personal growth, and social activities at the same time. Effective time management not only leads to increased productivity, but reduces stress. 1 Here are some strategies to help young adults master the art of time management.
Setting clear and achievable short-term and long-term goals is essential for youth. 2 They’ll also distribute time accordingly. Whether it’s studying for exams or pursuing personal interests, having well-defined goals provides a sense of direction. Meanwhile, importance levels of tasks can vary. By focusing on key tasks and minimizing time spent on unimportant ones, young adults can perfect their time management.
3 It makes efficient use of their time. Whether using a planner or a calendar app scheduling specific blocks of time for different activities, including study time, exercise,socializing, can lead to better time use.
Furthermore, learning to say no is a valuable skill for youth. With numerous opportunities and interests, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. By being selective about commitments, young adults can arrange their time and energy wisely. Saying no to non-essential activities frees up time for important tasks. 4
In the pursuit of personal success, young adults often find themselves caught up in a series of responsibilities and commitments. However, it’s essential for them to recognize that life shouldn’t be like this. Self-care plays a vital role in time management. 5 By ensuring they maintain a healthy work-life balance, young adults can recharge their energy levels, improve focus, and increase productivity. That way, they perfect time usage and pave the way for success.
A. That actually prevents over-commitment.
B. One should constantly review how time is spent.
C. It creates opportunities for personal development as well.
D. Developing a daily schedule helps young adults stay organized.
E. Putting things off constantly is a common time management project.
F. By knowing what they want to accomplish, they can prioritize their tasks.
G. Youth should value adequate rest and activities that promote their well-being.

阅读C (2025·新课标卷Ⅱ模拟考) 体裁：说明文 主题语境：健康饮食 难度：★★★☆☆
(阅读C、D)
Pick up any packaged processed food, and there’s a decent chance that one of its listed ingredients will be “natural flavor”. The ingredient sounds good, particularly in contrast to “artificial flavor”. But what exactly does natural flavor mean It refers to extracts (提取物) got from
natural sources like plants, meat or seafood. When consumers see “natural flavor” on a label, they are unlikely to assume that someone is squeezing the juice from oranges into their bottle. They know even though natural flavor must come from natural sources, it needn’t all come from the plant or meat. For example, orange flavor might contain not only orange extract, but also extracts from bark and grass. Nor is the common belief true that ingredients extracted from nature are necessarily safer than something artificially made.
So if flavors like orange are needed, why not just use oranges The answer comes down to “availability, cost and sustainability”, according to flavor chemist Gary Reineccius of the University of Minnesota. “If you’re going to use all your grapes on grape soda，” Reineccius says, “you don’t have any grapes for wine making; the products are going to be exorbitant and most people can’t afford them.”
Actually, while chemists make natural flavors by extracting chemicals from natural ingredients, artificial flavors are made by creating the same chemicals artificially. The reason why companies bother to use natural flavors rather than artificial flavors is simple: marketing. “Many of these products have health titles，” says Platkin, professor from Hunter College. “Consumers may be talked to believe products with natural flavors are healthier, though they’re nutritionally no different from those with artificial flavors. Natural flavors may involve more forest clear-cutting and carbon emissions from transport than flavors created in the lab.”
Platkin suggests getting more transparent labeling on packaging that describes exactly what the natural or artificial flavors are, so consumers are not misled into buying one product over another because of “natural flavors”. Reineccius also offers some simple guidance: “Don’t buy anything because it says ‘natural flavors’. Buy it because you like it.”
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了“天然味道”这一食品标签的含义，指出其并不一定比“人造味道”更安全或更健康，而使用天然味道主要是为了市场营销。文章建议提高标签的透明度。
8.Which is a misunderstanding about the “natural flavor” juice according to paragraph 1
A. It comes from 100% original fruit.
B. It is nothing but advertising tricks.
C. It is absolutely safer than juice with artificial flavors.
D. It certainly contains extracts made in the lab.
C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They know even though natural flavor must come from natural sources, it needn’t all come from the plant or meat. For example, orange flavor might contain not only orange extract, but also extracts from bark and grass. Nor is the common belief true that ingredients extracted from nature are necessarily safer than something artificially made. (他们知道，尽管天然味道必须来自天然来源，但它并不都来自植物或肉类。例如，
答案与解析
橙味可能不仅含有橙提取物，还含有树皮和草的提取物。人们普遍认为从自然中提取的成分一定比人造的更安全，这种说法也不正确。)”可知，关于“天然味道”的果汁有两种误解，一是认为它全部来自植物或肉类，二是认为它比人造味道的果汁更安全。对比四个选项，C项“它比含有人造味道的果汁更安全。”是其中一种误解。故选C。
答案与解析
9.What does the underlined word “exorbitant” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Suitable. B. Expensive.
C. Official. D. Flexible.
B 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“‘If you’re going to use all your grapes on grape soda，’ Reineccius says, ‘you don’t have any grapes for wine making; the products are going to be exorbitant and most
答案与解析
people can’t afford them.’(雷内修斯说：‘如果你把所有的葡萄都用在葡萄汽水上，你就没有葡萄酿酒了；产品将会变得 exorbitant，大多数人买不起。’)”中的“most people can’t afford them”可推知，如果把所有的葡萄都用在葡萄汽水上，就没有葡萄用来酿酒了，葡萄酒将会变得非常昂贵，大多数人买不起。由此推知，画线词“exorbitant”的意思是“昂贵的”，与expensive同义。故选B。
答案与解析
10.Why do companies use natural flavors in their products
A. To promote the sales.
B. To cut the costs.
C. To advocate a healthy diet.
D. To avoid food safety issues.
A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The reason why companies bother to use natural flavors rather than artificial flavors is simple: marketing.(公司宁愿使用天然味道而不使用人造味道的原因很简单：营销。)”可知，公司在产品中使用天然味道是为了营销，即为了促进销售。故选A。
答案与解析
11.What can we conclude from the passage
A. Gary and Platkin hold opposite perspectives.
B. Natural flavors are more environmentally-friendly.
C. Companies are banned to produce artificial flavor food.

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed
to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment，” said a BMF employee.

A. It guarantees the variety of food.
B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance.
D. It relies on farmer’s markets.

答案与解析
13.What information does the convenient app offer
A. Real-time weather changes.
B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil.
D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. (此外，还有一个便捷的应用程序，可以实时提供生长数据)”可知，这个便捷的应用程序提供了植物生长的实时数据。故选B。

When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month, we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of all the cheers we received from our classmates and the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork and cooperation.
During one of our training sessions, our school team was divided into two to have a match against each other. The inter-school competition was coming up and none of us wanted to miss our chance of getting that gold trophy (奖品).“Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong shouted. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. Since John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone, not even his teammates, take it.
“Pass the ball to me, John!” I shouted. I was in a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop (篮筐).To my shock, John made a rude face at me. I made an attempt to grab the ball from him. When I got my hands on the ball, it became a tug-of-war (激烈竞争) between John and me. Coach Leong shook his head and exploded like an active volcano, “Children! Is this the type of behaviour that I should be seeing The match is in two weeks! Do you even know the importance of teamwork ” Coach Leong gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news to tell us.
I was right.
Coach Leong explained that he would be retiring after the match.“I hope you can show me your teamwork and cooperate with one another in this match before I retire.” I choked on my tears. My heart sank. We were giving Coach Leong such a tough time, when all he wanted was for us to show teamwork in the match. After that day, my teammates and I were determined to do our best and work as a team.

Should Teens Pursue Study Partners
The companion culture trend is gaining notice as people opt for short-term partnerships to fulfill immediate needs for cooperation, knowledge exchange, and shared experiences.
I am in favor of teens’ pursuing study partners, because these partnerships can help develop essential skills like resilience and teamwork, which are not only crucial for study but also for life in general.
Although having study partners can encourage lively idea exchange and collaborative learning, it’s crucial to be careful and avoid distractions. It’s important for teens to find study partners that match their learning style, creating a relationship that benefits both.

On the day of the match, we stood face to face with our opponents, the team from River Primary School. They stared at us in disdain as if saying, “You are a loser.” But the moment the match began, we ran at lightning speed and leaped to grab the basketball. Despite our efforts, with only five minutes remaining, we were still trailing by two scores, and the basketball was in the hands of the opposing team. Suddenly, John seized the ball, turned around and exchanged a knowing glance with me. In an instant, I positioned myself for what I knew was coming.
John did a perfect overhead throw and I caught the ball in mid-air. The stadium erupted into thunderous cheers. With just thirty seconds left, I found myself surrounded by opponents, making it challenging to take the shot. I heard my coach’s voice in my head. “Teamwork and cooperation.” That was when I spotted John making a move towards the goal. Without hesitation, I passed the ball to him, and he made the winning shot! The entire stadium was filled with applause and high-fives. We embraced Coach Leong with tears of joy. Only we knew what the trophy meant to each of us.(共20张PPT)

After that day, my teammates and I were determined to do our best and work as a team.
