261 Fearless, an all-women’s running group co-founded by Kathrine Switzer, who made history as the first woman to officially finish the Boston Marathon (马拉松) in 1967, is proving that running is for all women.
Switzer, now 78, signed up for the 1967 Boston Marathon, which until that point was mostly run by men. While women were not officially kept away from the course, people did not believe women were capable of running such a distance.
Race officials did not know that Switzer was running until she entered the second mile of the race. An official ran up behind her and tried to tear off her number, 261. She was able to break free and kept running, finishing the marathon and becoming a symbol of girl power in sports.
Switzer went on to complete 40 marathons in her lifetime of running and continued to fight for all women to have the opportunity to run. She created a women’s-only international race circuit (巡回赛), which led to the women’s marathon being included in the Olympics for the first time in 1984. She also worked as a television broadcaster, calling big running events including the Boston Marathon and the Olympic races. More recently, she is a returning captain for the Every Woman’s Marathon, which bills itself as the only U. S. marathon designed only for women.
Most importantly, Switzer created 261 Fearless, a global nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower women through running and education programs, with a focus on creating a safe and supportive space for women in a non-competitive environment. Since its founding, the organization has trained over 500 women around the world to become running coaches. There are now 61 groups of 261 Fearless runners in 14 countries, including the United States, New Zealand, and countries in South America, Europe and Africa, uniting women of all different ages and abilities.
24. Before 1967, the Boston Marathon was .
A. unpopular with men B. a sign of female power
C. known for women winners D. mainly intended for men
25. What happened to Switzer when she ran the 1967 Boston Marathon
A. A man took the place of her. B. She failed to finish the race.
C. Someone attempted to stop her. D. She was forced to give up at first.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning Switzer
A. Her efforts to join the Olympics. B. Her achievements in training coaches.
C. Her contribution to women’s marathons. D. Her performance in the Olympic races.
27. What can be learned about 261 Fearless
A. It is very influential. B. It is open to all people.
C. It has come to an end. D. It aims to make a fortune.
C
Robotic technology is rapidly advancing in high-risk industrial environments like some factories. However, there remain many tasks that still require human oversight, despite advances in robotics. The challenge lies in the fact that operating robots is more difficult than expected, and even small mistakes may lead to accidents.
To address this, a research team led by Professor Keehoon Kim and Ph. D. candidate Jaehyun Park from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) developed two types of new devices that allow users to feel interaction at their fingertips while controlling robots remotely.
The “POstick-KF” device sends the precise force changes a robot experiences when pushing or pulling objects directly to the user, giving the operator precise control over operations. Meanwhile, the “POstick-VF” device provides a combination of tactile and visual feedback (触觉和视觉反馈), making it effective for use in larger workspaces. Both devices are modeled after the actual size and shape of real tools, allowing even the beginners to adapt quickly, and can be selected according to the work environment or the operator’s skill level.
Simulation (模拟) experiments showed the effectiveness of these devices: users achieved higher accuracy in operating the robots and significantly reduced the risk of running into obstacles (障碍物) compared to traditional devices.
The new devices also include digital twin technology, enabling users to simulate actual robot operations in virtual environments, and use augmented reality (AR) to further improve user concentration and experience.
Professor Keehoon Kim, who led the research, made a comment, “Our devices enable tasks requiring human’s skillfulness to be performed more safely and precisely in cooperation with robots. We believe they will improve safety in industrial sites and reduce the pressure on workers.”
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. There are few advances in robotics. B. Operating robots can be challenging.
C. Robots work perfectly with humans. D. Robots tend to make big mistakes.
29. What is an advantage of the two new devices
A. They look small in size. B. They are user-friendly.
C. They are low-cost. D. They free people from work.
30. What is Professor Keehoon Kim’s opinion on the new devices
A. They are of practical value. B. They still need improving.
C. They are not safe to use now. D. They add to pressure on workers.
31. From which part of a magazine is the text most probably taken
A. Culture. B. Nature. C. Education. D. Technology.
D
An international team led by researchers from the University of Adelaide and the University of Copenhagen reconstructed an 11,700-year ecological baseline for bowhead whales, which are a threatened Arctic native species.
Using computer models, fossils, and hunting records, the team mapped the location and size of suitable summer foraging habitat (觅食栖息地) for bowhead whales, finding that until recently it had remained nearly unchanged. However, they predict (预测) that future climate change will destroy 65—75 percent of this foraging habitat by the end of the 21st century. In the Sea of Okhotsk, which is home to one of only four populations of bowhead whales, usable summer habitat is likely to vanish entirely by 2060.
The reason for the reduction is the breakup of a close relationship between bowhead whales and summer sea ice cover. “Bowhead whales have preferred to forage among sea ice for thousands of years,” said lead author Nicholas Freymueller. “However, Arctic sea ice has become less in recent decades, and this is set to be worse in coming decades, causing where bowhead whales currently gather in large numbers to be lost.”
The team also found that the few areas of suitable bowhead habitat predicted to remain in the year 2100 will exist outside their current distribution (分布), directly affecting protection policies.
“By identifying the extent and location of bowhead whale habitat that is likely to be lost in coming decades, we provide important information to guide future management efforts of this species,” said Professor Eline Lorenzen.
Bowhead whales are still recovering from four centuries of hunting. “By using ecological models and historical records to reconstruct pre-hunting distributions of bowhead whales, we were able to develop a much stronger understanding of the habitat preferences of this species that was nearly hunted to extinction. This is of great importance because the ongoing threats they face are reflective of what other Arctic species face because of climate change,” said senior author Damien Fordham.
32. What does the underlined word “vanish” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Approach. B. Disappear. C. Recover. D. Spread.
33. What is Nicholas Freymueller trying to do in paragraph 3
A. To share a suggestion. B. To make a summary.
C. To give an explanation. D. To show an expectation.
34. Why does Damien Fordham consider studying bowhead whales important
A. It offers a solution to whale hunting.
B. It enables their competitors to avoid them.
C. It allows them to search for suitable habitat.
D. It helps to learn about threats to other species.
35. What does the text focus on
A. Ecological models and historical records.
B. Summer sea ice cover and frequent hunting.
C. Arctic native species and protection policies.
D. Climate change and bowhead whales’ habitat.

Lily was a 10-year-old student. She was always ready to help others. Most importantly, she was honest.
One day, when Lily entered the classroom, she saw a crowd looking at something. Lily joined them and found that Peter, her classmate, was showing his newly bought pen to other students. The pen was special and everyone was talking about it cheerfully.
Lily was really fond of that pen. She even asked Peter where he bought the pen and she intended to buy one. However, such a pen was too expensive for her — she could only earn her pocket money by helping do housework at home. At that time, the school bell rang. Immediately, all the children rushed to the playground to do morning exercises.
When Lily ran out of the classroom, Smith, their math teacher, asked Lily to get some chalk from the classroom. Lily went back to the classroom and found Peter's pen on his desk. She couldn’t help walking to the pen. While Lily was admiring the pen, she heard Smith call her out. In a hurry, she dropped the pen on the floor. She quickly picked it up, put it back and went to give the chalk to Smith. Before Lily ran to the playground, she saw her classmate Mary coming back to the classroom as she was ill.
After the morning exercises, everyone went back to the classroom. Just then Peter found his pen was broken and asked who was in the classroom at the time of doing morning exercises. Almost everyone pointed to Mary. When asked whether she had broken Peter’s pen, Mary said no. However, no one could prove her words. Feeling sad, she started to cry.

As a token of appreciation, I’ve sent you a traditional Chinese paper-cutting artwork. It features the Chinese character meaning “blessing”, symbolizing good luck and happiness. This red artwork is usually displayed during festivals to bring good fortune. I hope it will add some Chinese charm to your home!
Thanks again. I can’t wait to show you around Beijing when you visit China!
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】Lily felt her heart race as she realized what might have happened. Taking a deep breath, she told the truth and said to Peter, “I think I accidentally broke your pen. I shouldn’t have touched it without your permission. I’m really sorry.” Lily also apologized to Mary for it was she who made Mary misunderstood. The classroom fell silent as everyone turned to look at Lily. Her face turned red, but before she could continue, the math teacher walked in.
Smith, having heard Lily’s confession（坦白）, praised her honesty. “It takes courage to admit a mistake,” Smith said, smiling at Lily. Peter, though upset about his broken pen, chose to forgive Lily for he knew it was an accident. Mary, relieved, gave Lily a grateful hug. Later, Lily promised to save her pocket money to buy Peter a new pen. From that day on, Lily’s classmates admired her even more for her honesty and kindness.
