Travel WiFi is a global company with a simple mission: to keep you connected to the Internet while traveling. They do this by providing WiFi hotspot devices (for rent or purchase) that can be used on 6 different continents.
About the WiFi devices
The Pocket Travel WiFi devices are the size and shape of a small smartphone. The standard Hotspot Rental and the Sapphire 2 (for purchase) share a similar design with one mini-USB charging port. However, it’s important to note that these devices are not waterproof. When fully charged, they should last around 12 hours with fairly regular WiFi use. Additionally, the Sapphire 2 model features indicator lights displaying signal strength and battery life.
Renting VS Buying the travel WiFi device
The cost of purchasing a travel WiFi device is $89 — $109, and then you pay on top of that for data packages ($29.9 for 20 GB in a month). Most frequent travelers buy their own device for convenience.
The rental price is based on the total number of days that you’ll keep the device and how much data you want to use each day. Daily rents range from $6.9 for 1 GB, $12.9 for 2 GB to $16.9 for 3 GB．Week pass ($45.9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers.
9．What is an advantage of the travel WiFi device
A．It is resistant to water. B．It is quick to charge.
C．It is convenient to carry. D．It is excellent in signal.
10．For a 7-day UK trip, what’s the minimum rent for a WiFi device
A．$6.9. B．$29.9. C．$45.9. D．$48.3.
11．Who is most likely to show interest in the device
A．A person who will travel abroad.
B．A diver who is training off the coast.
C．A student who likes surfing the Internet.
D．A doctor who needs the latest information.
B
From the moment we wake up and check the messages on our smartphones, we’re exposed to text design. Throughout our day, storefronts and websites announce themselves through the typefaces (字体) they use. Adonian Chan, a 33-year-old Hong Kong graphic designer, calls the different texts a “visual landscape”.
In his hometown, signs written in traditional Chinese characters can be found around every comer. One calligraphy style, above all, has come to represent Hong Kong: Beiwei Kaishu, which has its origins in 4th-century China. After World War II, Beiwei Kaishu was used widely in Hong Kong signs, partly because it is highly recognizable, even from far distances.
But with the appearance of LED signs and computer-generated typefaces, signs written in the style were disappearing from Hong Kong. As a result, few designers working today are aware of the Beiwei Kaishu style.
In 2016, Chan asked a master of calligraphy in Hong Kong to teach him to write in the Beiwei Kaishu style. He then started the process of digitizing the characters. He first wrote the characters on paper with a brush and ink. Next, he made a pencil sketch (草图). Finally, he recreated the characters digitally, using a computer program called Glyphs.
One of the main challenges when digitizing the ancient calligraphy is striking a balance between the artistic expression and the need of design, says Chan. He can complete two characters a day, depending on their complexity, and is aiming to digitize 6,000 characters.
Chan says his project is more than preserving a centuries-old writing style and that he sees himself as building on the work of previous generations. He has named his typeface Beiwei Zansyu and hopes it will eventually appear on phones and computers.
12．Why was Beiwei Kaishu popular in Hong Kong after World War II
A．It had a long history. B．It could be seen clearly.
C．It was a symbol of Hong Kong. D．It fitted in the “visual landscape”.
13．What leads to the disappearance of Beiwei Kaishu
A．Its pattern. B．Urban development.
C．Its designers. D．New technologies.
14．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A．Beiwei Zansyu will be available soon.
B．Beiwei Zansyu looks great on the phone.
C．Chan’s project is time-consuming.
D．Preserving the ancient style is Chan’s only purpose.
15．Which is the best title for the text
A．Digitizing Tradition: Adonian Chan’s Journey with Beiwei Zansyu
B．Hong Kong’s Visual Landscape: Beiwei Kaishu in Signs
C．A Disappearing Typeface: Lost Art in the age of Technologies
D．Calligraphy Grisis Technology Saved Art
三、阅读七选五
School sports meets are exciting events filled with energy and competition. 16 Taking proactive steps to protect yourself can ensure you enjoy every moment without sidelining(退出比赛) yourself with pain or discomfort.
Never skip proper warm-ups. Before diving into any sport, spend 5-10 minutes on dynamic stretches such as leg swings, arm circles, and body twists. 17 This process loosens tight muscles, increases blood flow to your limbs, and readies your body for the sudden bursts of activity that sports demand—all of which significantly lower the risk of strains or pulls.
18 Loose clothing might feel comfortable, but it can get caught in equipment like hurdles or basketball hoops, leading to trips or tugs. Opt for fitted, moisture-wicking fabrics that move with your body instead. Even more crucial is footwear: running shoes with shock-absorbing soles cushion your feet during sprints, while basketball shoes with reinforced ankles prevent awkward twists when changing direction quickly.
Strictly follow the rules. Coaches and organizers design these rules to keep everyone safe. In relay races, for example, passing the baton within the designated zone avoids collisions with other teams. In high jump, waiting for the mat to clear before your attempt prevents dangerous crashes. Ignoring these guidelines isn't just unfair. 19
Don't forget to cool down after competing. Once your event ends, walk briskly for 5-10 minutes instead of collapsing on the grass. Follow this with static(静止的) stretches, holding each position (like touching your toes or stretching your chest) for 15-30 seconds. This helps your heart rate return to normal, reduces muscle tightness, and speeds up recovery. 20
A．Invest in suitable gear(装备).
B．It's a sure way to invite accidents.
C．Prepare good equipment in advance.
D．Or you will end up in the school clinic.
E．And you'll be ready for your next event or practice.
F．However, nothing puts a damper on(使扫兴) the fun like an unexpected injury.
G．Pair these with light jogging or jumping jacks(开合跳) to gradually raise your heart rate.

It was an ordinary day. I took my dog for her usual walk around the block, 21 on the solution for the writing class I was to teach that evening. While I was known for the community that usually 22 in my classes, this semester was a(n) 23 . I had already tried several strategies for bringing the students together, but so far nothing had 24 .
In those days, I was always 25 something: my teaching, the essay I was writing... It didn’t take much to turn on the tap (水龙头) of anxiety, and once 26 , it could pull most areas of my life into its 27 .
About halfway around the block that afternoon, I suddenly 28 a dried sycamore (梧桐) leaf curled gracefully on the pavement. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen one since giant sycamores were 29 in our neighborhood. But that afternoon, instead of just gazing, I stopped to 30 . The leaf looked so beautiful, poised in its balletic position. Then I continued my walk around the block. When I arrived home 10 minutes later, I realized that the 31 brought by gazing at the sycamore leaf was still with me. This small moment of unexpected beauty 32 my happiness and stopped me from worrying about my class. I realized that I might have 33 something transformative!
So I decided to try to 34 my experience, and made a commitment to practicing small for an entire year. And since I like 35 , I decided to record my experiences in my books.

Butterfly Lovers is a beautiful violin concerto composed by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang. It’s a piece that really deserves 36 (hear). The music tells a classic love story through its twists and turns. When the two lovers meet, the melody is light and pleasant, 37 a cheerful section follows, representing their three happy years. Then, the music becomes 38 (drama), reflecting their separation. Finally, it ends on a soft note, 39 (show) how they turn into butterflies.
This piece combines Western and Chinese musical elements. Although usually played on the violin, its style is rooted in Chinese Yue Opera. This 40 (combine) makes people realize that music is 41 universal language.
In fact, the power of music to bridge cultures and connect hearts is not unique to Butterfly Lovers — many other musical styles share this magic, such as country music.
Country music, which 42 (become) popular in the 1940s in the southern US, also connects people through emotions. It developed from the blues and folk music, with singable tunes and thoughtful lyrics. Most songs mix hardship, heartbreak and hope, with much humour 43 (throw) in, creating a strong emotional bond. Musicians like John Denver can make people feel the simplicity and peace of the countryside through their music.
Both styles, though different 44 origin, share the ability to convey deep feelings and cultural beauty 45 go beyond borders.

10．细节理解题。根据Renting VS Buying the travel WiFi device中的“Week pass ($45.9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers.(没有数据限制的周卡（45.9美元）也是短期旅行者的好选择。)”可知，7天英国之旅的费用为：$45.9；并根据“Daily rents range from $6.9 for 1GB (1GB每天的租金从为6.9美元起)” 可知，7天英国之旅的费用为：$6.98*7=$48.86。对比可知，7天英国之旅中，一个WiFi设备的最低租金是$45.9。故选C。
11．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Travel WiFi is a global company with a simple mission: to keep you connected to the Internet while traveling. They do this by providing WiFi hotspot devices (for rent or purchase) that can be used on 6 different continents. (Travel WiFi是一家全球性的公司，它的使命很简单：让你在旅行时连接到互联网。他们通过提供WiFi热点设备（出租或购买）来实现这一点，这些设备可以在6个不同的大洲使用。)”可知，该设备可以在6个不同的大洲使用，将要出国旅行的人会对此感兴趣。故选A。
12．B 13．D 14．C 15．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是33岁的设计师Adonian Chan为保护和复兴濒危的中国传统书法北魏楷书所做的努力，他通过将北魏楷书数字化的方式来保护该字体。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“After World War II, Beiwei Kaishu was used widely in Hong Kong signs, partly because it is highly recognizable, even from far distances. ( 第二次世界大战后，北魏楷书被广泛用于香港的标识中，部分原因是它很容易辨认，即使从很远的地方也能认出来。)”可知，二战后，北魏楷书在香港很受欢迎的原因是它可以被看得很清楚。故选B项。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“But with the appearance of LED signs and computer-generated typefaces, signs written in the style were disappearing from Hong Kong. (但随着LED标识和电脑生成字体的出现，北魏楷书风格的标识正在从香港消失。)”可知，新科技的出现导致北魏楷书的消失。故选D项。

(Chan说，将古代书法数字化的主要挑战之一是在艺术表现和设计需求之间取得平衡。他每天可以完成两个字符，具体取决于它们的复杂性，他的目标是将6000个字符数字化。)”可推知，因为电子化这一字体的复杂性，Chan要完成这项工作将非常耗时。故选C项。
15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第四段“In 2016, Chan asked a master of calligraphy in Hong Kong to teach him to write in the Beiwei Kaishu style. He then started the process of digitizing the characters. He first wrote the characters on paper with a brush and ink. Next, he made a pencil sketch (草图). Finally, he recreated the characters digitally, using a computer program called Glyphs.
