Swimmers are tidy and make the best lovers while cyclists vote Liberal Democrat. What your favorite sport says about you Unless your name is Rebecca Adlington, Victoria Pendleton or Mo Farah, sport is probably nothing more than an enjoyable hobby.
Now a new study has revealed that your choice of sport says more about you than you could possibly have imagined. According to researchers, cyclists are more likely to be emotionally stable, runners the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest, while walkers are the least materialistic.
The psychological study, which was carried out by experts from Mind Lab, also revealed that sport can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Cyclists, for example, are most likely to vote Liberal Democrat and tend to be calm in front of material possessions. Meanwhile runners tend to be Labour-voting outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Those who swim tend to make the best lovers, are tidy and are also the most charitable, although according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of charity regardless of their choice of sport. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering, cross-country races and hiking, are least concerned about material possessions and like being alone.
“It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also your mind,” says psychologist Dr David Lewis. “Past research has shown that exercising can be used to treat and possibly even prevent anxiety and generally has a positive effect on mental health. The results from this study show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,” Dr David Lewis adds.
24. What kind of people may not get angry easily according to the study
A. Cyclists. B. Runners.
C. Swimmers. D. Walkers.
25. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By giving examples.
B. By following time order.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By setting down general rules
26. Which word can best describe the character of swimmers
A. Humorous. B. Pessimistic.
C. Open-minded. D. Warm-hearted.
27. In the last paragraph, Dr David Lewis makes the point that ________.
A. it’s better to choose sports that suit you well
B. bad feelings can be got rid of by doing exercise
C. there’s no doubt that sports can keep you healthy
D. exercise benefits you both physically and mentally

At a Beijing press conference on Friday, March 14, 2025, Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke about China-US technology competition, using stories and sayings to share China’s ideas. His words came after Chinese AI company DeepSeek showed new breakthroughs, proving China’s growing skills in AI.
“China will fight through the toughest barriers in tech,” Wang said, telling the story of Nezha, a Chinese myth hero. “Nezha challenges heaven’s rules with perseverance, just like we keep innovating,” he explained. He quoted an old Chinese saying: “No mountains can stop a mighty river.” This means: cooperation, not walls, let innovation grow.
“Building high fences and small yards won’t stop our spirit,” Wang added. “Cutting supply chains only hurts ourselves.” Wang stressed that science and technology should be “shared treasures for all humanity,” not tools to divide. Citing China’s space missions and AI advancements, he noted, “Our innovations are meant to be shared. Just as ancient Chinese sailors sailed the seas to exchange knowledge, today we aim to explore the stars and oceans together.”
His message connected with global calls for cooperation. “Technological progress should build bridges, not walls,” said a European official present. As the world faces climate change and healthcare challenges, Wang’s words emphasized China’s belief that innovation blooms in open environments.
28. What is the main idea of Wang Yi’s speech
A. To introduce China’s latest AI achievements
B. To show China’s determination in tech innovation and cooperation
C. To criticize the US for blocking China’s tech development
D. To share Chinese traditional stories and sayings
29. Why did Wang Yi mention the story of Nezha
A. Showing China’s rich cultural heritage
B. Proving the popularity of Chinese myths
C. Symbolizing China’s spirit of breaking through difficulties
D. Comparing ancient and modern China
30. What does the phrase “high fences and small yards” refer to in the speech
A. Physical barriers in real life
B. Limitations on international tech cooperation
C. China’s traditional courtyard architecture
D Environmental protection measures
31. According to Wang Yi, how should countries deal with technological progress
A. By competing with each other
B. By building walls to protect their own interests
C. By working together and sharing achievements
D. By focusing only on their own development
D
Music is not just a collection of sounds — it’s a powerful force that affects our lives in many ways. Scientists have been studying the effects of music on humans, and their findings are truly amazing.
A study from the University of Toronto showed that listening to music before a test can improve focus. Students who listened to calm music for 10 minutes before an exam scored higher on average than those who didn’t. Another research by the University of Oxford found that making music, like playing the guitar or singing, can boost (提升) people’s self-confidence. People who spent 30 minutes a day practicing music reported feeling more positive about themselves.
Moreover, music helps us connect with others. Whether it’s singing along at a concert or sharing playlists with friends, music creates a sense of community. So, the next time you listen to your favorite song or play an instrument, remember: music is much more than entertainment — it’s a key to a better mood, stronger focus, and deeper connections.
32. What is the passage mainly about
A. How to choose good music. B. The powerful effects of music on our lives.
C. The history of different music types. D. Why people love listening to music.
33. According to the University of Toronto’s study, listening to music before a test can help students ________.

67. 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。
Zafar didn’t care much about what his parents advised him to do. He did whatever he liked. His parents were constantly worried about his ill-mannered behaviors. They tried to change him for the better, but always failed.
One day, Zafar went out to play with his neighborhood friends. It was raining heavily. Lightning flashed across the sky, but the children played joyfully in the rain. The sky was darkened by thick clouds, and it was getting even darker as evening approached. Their concerned parents had warned the kids to go back home before nightfall.
As evening came along, the other kids left for home, but Zafar stayed behind in the playground, continuing to play. One of his friends reminded him that it was dangerous to stay out late, especially when there was no one around. But Zafar just did not take the advice seriously. Instead, he chose to stay and play by himself.
The playground was in a secluded (偏僻的) area, rarely visited by anyone, especially after dark, and it was close to the forest, which was home to many dangerous animals. The rain was pouring so heavily that it was hard to have a clear sight of anything. Zafar had never believed the stories of animal attacks. He was simply too careless, despite knowing that there were dangerous animals hiding in the forest, waiting for their prey (猎物).
Suddenly, Zafar heard a loud cracking sound coming from the forest. A chilling sensation washed over him, and he felt as if someone was watching him.
“Something bad is about to happen,” he thought. He was on high alert, ready to run. He wondered if it was a cheetah, lion or wolf. He knew he couldn’t run faster than any of them. He had to find another way to save himself. He looked deeper into the forest where the noise had come from. But his eyes caught two shining lights in the darkness.

【67题答案】
【答案】
It was a wolf, standing a short distance away! Its sharp teeth glinted in the dim light, and it let out a low growl that made Zafar’s blood run cold. He scrambled up the nearest tree as fast as he could, his hands trembling as he clutched the branches. The wolf circled the tree, snapping at the trunk, which made Zafar hold on even tighter. He prayed that someone would come, for he knew he couldn’t stay in the tree forever. Just when he felt hopeless, he heard a familiar voice calling his name — it was his father, who had come to look for him with some neighbors. The wolf, hearing the noise, ran back into the forest.
As he was helped down from the tree, Zafar immediately hugged his father. Tears rolled down his face as he said, “I’m sorry, Dad. I should have listened to you and gone home early.” His father, whose eyes were filled with relief, said softly, “I’m just glad you’re safe. This is why we always tell you to be careful.” Zafar realized that the advice his parents gave him was not to restrict him but to protect him. From that day on, he never ignored their words again, because he knew they cared about him more than anything.
