British runner Jasmin Paris became the first woman ever to finish the famous Barkley Marathons on Friday. Paris finished the course with a time of 59 hours, 58 minutes and 21seconds; just 99 seconds before the 60-hour time limit went by. Paris was one of five finishers in the 2024 edition of the Barkley Marathons, with Ukrainian Ihor Verys finishing first, American’s John Kelly and Jared Campbell finishing second and third respectively and Greig Hamilton from New Zealand finishing fourth.
The Barkley Marathons has become famous for its punishing, near-impossible nature. It is thought by many to be the hardest foot race in the world.
The famous ultramarathon, the idea of runner Gary Cantrell, takes place in Tennessee’s Frozen Head State Park. The route was inspired by the 1977 prison escape of James Earl Ray. Ray traveled only eight miles in just over two days after escaping before he was recaptured, leading Cantrell to think that he could cover 100 miles in the same amount of time.
The route is long and indistinguishable and the slopes are steep. The race consists of five loops (环路) of around 20 miles each, for a total of between 100 to 130 miles through brushy mountains with an elevation (海拔) gain of around 63,000 feet. Athletes run the course over three sleepless days and nights-and there are no aid stations, phones or GPS to help with navigation (导航). Getting lost, as well as falling and getting injured in the brush, is normal for the course.
The ultramarathon is marked with unique unmanned checkpoints, each of which contains a paperback book. Athletes must tear out a page corresponding to their bib (号码布) number and have all the book pages in hand at the end of each loop to prove they reached each checkpoint.
The races’ tough nature makes it a tough finish for many, with no finishers between 2017 and 2023. It has a dropout rate of 99%.
4. Who took the lead in the Barkley Marathons on Friday
A. Jasmin Paris. B. Ihor Verys. C. John Kelly. D. Jared Campbe
5. Where did the race’s inspiration come from
A. prison escape. B. A hiking trip. C. A runner’s dream. D. A historical event.
6. Why do athletes often get lost
A. The race is held at night. B. Athletes ignore the route.
C. The course is well-marked. D. No navigational aid is available.
7. What does the high dropout rate indicate
A. The location is unpopular. B. Athletes are well-prepared.
C. The race is easy to complete. D. The race is extremely challenging.
C
Rising sea levels, driven by global warming, are becoming greater at an alarming rate, putting coastal communities worldwide at risk. By 2050, experts predict that nearly 300 million people living in coastal areas will face annual flooding. Japan’s N-Ark hopes to fight against the impact of climate change with an innovative floating city.
Dogen City will measure roughly 1 mile in diameter and about 2.5 miles in circumference (周长). The circular shape will protect people against tsunamis. The floating city will have a unique two-layer design. The top layer will house a self-sufficient sea city. The second undersea layer will feature a sea-cooled data center for city management, healthcare, and drug discovery.
Dogen City will be able to accommodate 10,000 people and up to 40,000 visitors at a time. The self-sufficient sea city will feature food production facilities, schools, hospitals, sports areas, offices, and parks. New farming technology will enable farmers there to produce up to 7,000 tons of food annually using seawater.
Additionally, locals and visitors alike will have access to the most advanced healthcare assessments and medical care. The ambitious plan also includes a special area to launch and land rockets for space tourism. The project’s designers have set an ambitious target of completing Dogen City by 2030. However, key details such as the location and cost of the project remain unannounced.
Dogen City is not the only floating city in the works. In 2022, the South Korean city of Busan also showed plans for a sustainable ocean city. When built, it will be able to house up to100,000 people.
While these projects are still conceptual (概念的), the Netherlands has been home to a thriving floating community since 2021. The innovative Schoonschip neighborhood consists of 46 homes across 30 water plots and is home to around 100 residents. Although relatively small, it is a promising model for building self-sufficient, eco-friendly floating cities.
8. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A. Global warming. B. The impact of rising sea levels.
C. Coastal community development. D. Population growth in coastal areas.
9. What is the primary purpose of Dogen City’s circular shape
A. To maximize living space. B. To improve transportation efficiency.
C. To increase appreciation of the beauty. D. To provide protection against tsunamis.
10. What can we know about the project from Paragraph 4
A. It’s facing strong opposition. B. It has some unpublished key details.
C. It’s fully funded and ready to begin. D. It’ll be completed ahead of schedule.
11. What makes the Dutch project different from the others mentioned
A. It is larger than the other projects. B. It is still in the planning stage.
C. It is already functioning with people living there. D. It focuses mainly on eco-friendly energy.

In the game, players step into the shoes of Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, as they follow his great adventures going west.
Available on PS5, Steam, Epic Games Store and WeGame, Black Myth: Wukong is already a top seller on multiple platforms.

He said that a game’s true value isn’t determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players. Feng emphasized that the game was created entirely by a Chinese team, with the aim of bringing Chinese stories narratives to the global gaming stage.
Mentioning the growth of other Chinese industries in the international market, including the film industry, Feng said, “Eight years ago. we were confident that the stand-alone game market in China would not only exist but would also become significant.

As I entered our comfortable house, I was greeted by the warmth of the fireplace and the sound of my mother singing Christmas carols( in the kitchen. The smell of freshly baked cookies filled the air, making my mouth water.
“Mom, I’m home!” I called out.
She looked out from the kitchen, her face lit up with a smile.
Just as I finished the last cookie, the front door opened, and my father’s cheerful voice rang out, “Merry Christmas, family!”
We laughed as he entered the kitchen.
“So, what’s this surprise I’ve been hearing about ” I asked, unable to contain my curiosity any longer.
My parents exchanged a knowing glance before my father said, “Well, we’ve been thinking. You’ve been working so hard at school and helping out at home. We’re really proud of you, and we want to do something special this Christmas.”
My mother continued, “We’ve decided to volunteer at the local homeless shelter on Christmas Eve, and we’d like you to join us. We thought it would be a meaningful way to celebrate the season of giving.”
I was surprised but touched by their suggestion. It wasn’t the kind of surprise I had expected, but somehow, it felt even better.
“We’ll be serving Christmas dinner, handing out warm clothes, and spreading some holiday cheer,” my father explained. “It’s a chance for us to make a difference in our community and help those less fortunate.”

Paris finished the course with a time of 59 hours, 58 minutes and 21seconds; just 99 seconds before the 60-hour time limit went by. Paris was one of five finishers in the 2024 edition of the Barkley Marathons, with Ukrainian Ihor Verys finishing first, American’s John Kelly and Jared Campbell finishing second and third respectively and Greig Hamilton from New Zealand finishing fourth.
The Barkley Marathons has become famous for its punishing, near-impossible nature. It is thought by many to be the hardest foot race in the world.
The famous ultramarathon, the idea of runner Gary Cantrell, takes place in Tennessee’s Frozen Head State Park. The route was inspired by the 1977 prison escape of James Earl Ray. Ray traveled only eight miles in just over two days after escaping before he was recaptured, leading Cantrell to think that he could cover 100 miles in the same amount of time.
The route is long and indistinguishable and the slopes are steep. The race consists of five loops (环路) of around 20 miles each, for a total of between 100 to 130 miles through brushy mountains with an elevation (海拔) gain of around 63,000 feet. Athletes run the course over three sleepless days and nights-and there are no aid stations, phones or GPS to help with navigation (导航). Getting lost, as well as falling and getting injured in the brush, is normal for the course.
The ultramarathon is marked with unique unmanned checkpoints, each of which contains a paperback book. Athletes must tear out a page corresponding to their bib (号码布) number and have all the book pages in hand at the end of each loop to prove they reached each checkpoint.
The races’ tough nature makes it a tough finish for many, with no finishers between 2017 and 2023. It has a dropout rate of 99%.

Rising sea levels, driven by global warming, are becoming greater at an alarming rate, putting coastal communities worldwide at risk. By 2050, experts predict that nearly 300 million people living in coastal areas will face annual flooding. Japan’s N-Ark hopes to fight against the impact of climate change with an innovative floating city.
Dogen City will measure roughly 1 mile in diameter and about 2.5 miles in circumference (周长). The circular shape will protect people against tsunamis. The floating city will have a unique two-layer design. The top layer will house a self-sufficient sea city. The second undersea layer will feature a sea-cooled data center for city management, healthcare, and drug discovery.
Dogen City will be able to accommodate 10,000 people and up to 40,000 visitors at a time. The self-sufficient sea city will feature food production facilities, schools, hospitals, sports areas, offices, and parks. New farming technology will enable farmers there to produce up to 7,000 tons of food annually using seawater.
Additionally, locals and visitors alike will have access to the most advanced healthcare assessments and medical care. The ambitious plan also includes a special area to launch and land rockets for space tourism. The project’s designers have set an ambitious target of completing Dogen City by 2030. However, key details such as the location and cost of the project remain unannounced.
Dogen City is not the only floating city in the works. In 2022, the South Korean city of Busan also showed plans for a sustainable ocean city. When built, it will be able to house up to100,000 people.
While these projects are still conceptual (概念的), the Netherlands has been home to a thriving floating community since 2021. The innovative Schoonschip neighborhood consists of 46 homes across 30 water plots and is home to around 100 residents. Although relatively small, it is a promising model for building self-sufficient, eco-friendly floating cities.

10. What can we know about the project from Paragraph 4
A. It’s facing strong opposition. B. It has some unpublished key details.
C. It’s fully funded and ready to begin. D. It’ll be completed ahead of schedule.
11. What makes the Dutch project different from the others mentioned

It was a December evening, and the joy of Christmas was beginning to rise. Colorful lights twinkled from rooftops and windows, changing our neighborhood into a magical wonderland. As I walked home from school, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement building in my chest.
As I entered our comfortable house, I was greeted by the warmth of the fireplace and the sound of my mother singing Christmas carols( in the kitchen. The smell of freshly baked cookies filled the air, making my mouth water.
“Mom, I’m home!” I called out.
She looked out from the kitchen, her face lit up with a smile.
Just as I finished the last cookie, the front door opened, and my father’s cheerful voice rang out, “Merry Christmas, family!”
We laughed as he entered the kitchen.
“So, what’s this surprise I’ve been hearing about ” I asked, unable to contain my curiosity any longer.
My parents exchanged a knowing glance before my father said, “Well, we’ve been thinking. You’ve been working so hard at school and helping out at home. We’re really proud of you, and we want to do something special this Christmas.”
My mother continued, “We’ve decided to volunteer at the local homeless shelter on Christmas Eve, and we’d like you to join us. We thought it would be a meaningful way to celebrate the season of giving.”
I was surprised but touched by their suggestion. It wasn’t the kind of surprise I had expected, but somehow, it felt even better.
“We’ll be serving Christmas dinner, handing out warm clothes, and spreading some holiday cheer,” my father explained. “It’s a chance for us to make a difference in our community and help those less fortunate.”
As Christmas Eve approached, our family spent time preparing for our volunteer work. We collected warm clothes, bought small gifts, and even baked extra batches of cookies to bring to the shelter. The anticipation of helping others increased our usual holiday excitement.

【答案】One possible version:
When the day finally arrived, we drove to the shelter, our arms full of donations and our hearts full of hope. The gratitude in the eyes of those we served was obvious. Elderly men and women, families with young children, and individuals who had fallen on hard times all gathered together, finding warmth and companionship in the midst of their struggles. A little girl, no more than six years old, pulled my sleeve after I had given her a warm scarf. Her big brown eyes looked up at me as she said, “Thank you. This is the best Christmas ever.”
The girl’s simple words touched my heart deeply, making me realize the true meaning of the holiday season. As we drove home that night, a comfortable silence filled the car. We were all lost in our thoughts, reflecting on the experiences of the day. The twinkling lights of our town seemed to shine brighter, and the spirit of Christmas felt more real than ever before. That Christmas Eve at the shelter changed something in me. The memory of that little girl’s smile became a guiding light, reminding me that even the smallest acts of kindness can make the world a brighter place.
