American Cities With Great Run Clubs
Run clubs are everywhere now, a trending hobby for young adults across the world. In some cities, there seems to be a strong correlation between run clubs and fitness. In fact, most cities are now home to around a dozen specialized running groups. Below are three of the most active cities on the west coast.
Los Angeles
Social fun is high on the priority list for many LA joggers. Many clubs are inclusive and low-impact, making them great for everyone. Additionally, because LA is wide, you’ll notice that some run clubs stick to one neighborhood. The more competitive groups that meet for fitness are usually scheduled for non-daylight hours to let temperatures cool, especially during summer.
San Francisco
Because San Francisco is spread across many steep hills, its run clubs aren’t for the faint of heart. Don’t sign up unless you’re confident about your base level of fitness or make sure you join a club that avoids the craziest steep parts. Once again, midnight runs are a popular pick, usually for more high-energy athletes.
Seattle
Seattle is home to over a dozen clubs, many of which are goal-oriented and competitive. That makes it a little harder for casual, first-time runners to find the right club, but don’t worry, they’re still out there. One example is Diplo’s Run Club, which stops over in Seattle later this year. The 5 km event, which concludes with a live Diplo concert, includes a short route through the downtown area and a nearby park.
1. What do we know about competitive running groups in Los Angeles
A. They run at night to avoid heat. B. They compete mainly in summer.
C. They value social fun over fitness. D. They stay in a single neighborhood.
2. Why are San Francisco’s run clubs not suitable for the faint-hearted
A. Because the city has numerous steep hills.
B. Because the runners consume more energy.
C. Because most clubs organize midnight runs.
D. Because the athletes there are intermediate-leveled.
3. What is special about Diplo’s Run Club event in Seattle
A. It is tailored for professionals. B. It is home to live shows.
C. It is held in the suburbs. D. It is beginner-friendly.
B
Farming relies more on weather than most businesses. Harvest mostly depends on regular sunshine and rainfall. But climate change is breaking the earth’s long-predictable weather patterns. A warmer world makes problems like drought, flooding and pests worse. To deal with this, agriculture needs to adapt. One idea is indoor farming, where weather doesn’t matter.
In indoor spaces, conditions like temperature and moisture (湿度) can be controlled accurately with technology. Growing crops indoors isn’t new, but climate change may push more farming indoors. So the industry has tried to expand this method over the past 20 years.
However, expanding is hard. Inner farm, a startup founded in 2013, became one of Europe’s biggest vertical-farming (垂直种植) companies, with about 1,400 farms and partnerships with major sellers. At the peak of its expansion, the company’s CEO spoke of a “big change in agriculture.” But when energy prices rose sharply, Inner farm was forced to leave the European market and restarted in Canada with a significantly smaller business model.
High energy use makes vertical farms debatable. Jennifer Amman from a US energy-saving group said these farms use similar tech to keep humans comfortable, but for plants. They save a lot of water, but energy is their big weakness. Luckily, renewable energy and new tech may solve this, like smart LED lights that only produce the wavelengths plants need, saving electricity.
Vertical farms have other advantages. They save space, so they’re great for cities. They can be in warehouses, balconies or even kitchen cupboards. In controlled environments, perfect vegetables can grow all year round. Almost all water is recycled, no pesticides are needed since there are no bugs, and they don’t have to use soil. This is useful because the UN says about a third of the world’s soil is degraded, and over 90% could be by 2050.
Farming today faces three big challenges: more demand from a growing population, unpredictable yields due to climate change, and an ageing workforce. Thus, solutions like urban vertical farming are needed. The farms of the future will probably look very different from today’s.
4. Why did the author refer to Inner farm
A. To show the difficulties in indoor farming. B. To illustrate a successful energy-saving case.
C. To stress the bright future of indoor farming. D. To introduce a leading vertical-farming company.
5. What is the major disadvantage of vertical farms according to Jennifer
A. Consuming amounts of water. B. Relying on advanced technology.
C. Using plenty of energy. D. Depending on weather patterns.
6. What does the UN’s data in Paragraph 5 imply
A. Soil-friendly crops are needed. B. Vertical farming has more potential.
C. Soil improvement is key to farming. D. Area of indoor farming will decrease.
7. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Indoor Agriculture: A Double-Edged Sword
B. Energy: A Deciding Factor for Vertical Farms
C. Soils Farming: Growing Food Beyond Weather
D. Vertical Farming: Agriculture’s Future in a Changing World
C
Where was the dull sound of flying bugs bumping against the lightbulb Even the tuneless choir of insects, like cicadas or crickets, whichever they were, had stilled their instruments. Where have all the insects gone
Our own existence depends on a booming insect world. Studies show that where more insect species are present, pollination (授粉) is more reliable and stable. As Dave Goulson, professor of biology points out in his book Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse, about three-quarters of all crop types grown by humans require pollination by animals, the vast majority by insects. “We could not feed the global human population without pollinators,” he writes. It’s not just about bees and butterflies, the poster children of the pollinator world. Other, less camera friendly pollinators such as hover flies and beetles are also showing declines. Several of these species don’t just pollinate. They also eat the pest insects that ruin crops.
Ecologists and entomologists (昆虫学家) around the world have been warning about declining insect numbers for years. The reasons are climate change, habitat loss, light pollution, intensive farming, pesticide and fertiliser use. But it’s a struggle to get people to act. After all, we humans have a complicated relationship with our six-legged fellows. We all know the scary story of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis where a travelling salesman wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a bug. We also remember old Victorian tales where naughty children become insects. Even a butterfly’s face looks strange and alien up close. Maybe by always othering insects, we are making them disappear.
We should address our attitudes to insects. Those annoying flies around your food. They’re simply doing what they were born for. They’re recycling. Without them we might be swimming in the waste and wondering what to do about rotting animal bodies. Besides, they’re food for birds, and bird populations have crashed in recent years.
8. Why does the author start this passage with questions
A. To give facts about fewer insects. B. To blame people for hurting insects.
C. To explain the science of how insects act. D. To arouse public concern on missing insects.
9. What does Dave’s book imply
A. Bees and butterflies matter most. B. Insects are vital for our food supply.
C. Insect decline is due to their sound. D. Some insects help crops in two ways.
10. What does the underlined word “othering” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Ignoring something on purpose. B. Studying something in a scientific way.
C. Protecting something as a unique species. D. Treating something as a different thing.
11. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Insect decline reflects a broken link in ecology. B. Insect decline is severe and needs our response.
C. Insects are essential for crops and waste recycling. D. Human activities cause the disappearing of insects.

China is building the world’s largest national park system. In 2021, it established its first national park. To date, China has opened five national parks to the public, covering a total of 57 million acres. These parks serve as vital habitats for rare animals such as the Giant Panda and Asian Elephant. ____12____
These parks are not just about ecological protection. ____13____ Besides, they are attracting tourists to experience the country’s rich natural diversity. Domestic tourists are increasingly drawn to China’s wilderness destinations, while foreigners have their own preference. ____14____ However, this trend will shift as China expands its national park system, predicting that the country will soon become a global hotspot for nature-based tourism.
Han Mei, from one of the leading tour companies, points out that China’s late start in building national parks is actually an advantage. “While the United States pioneered the Yellowstone model, preserving vast wilderness areas, it also made significant missteps,” Han explains. One key shortcoming was fencing off land and forcibly removing the local original inhabitants to create a false impression of “untouched” wilderness. ____15____ By building a relationship between local communities and wildlife conservation, China can create a national park system that integrates cultural vitality with the care for nature,” she adds.
That is undoubtedly a grand goal. ____16____ But it fits with China’s track record of completing remarkable projects, from the world’s largest dam to the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge and the high-speed rail network. Now, China is devoting its vast resources and expertise to protecting and showcasing its extraordinary natural scenery.
A. By 2035 it will have 49 parks covering 272 million acres.
B. The US national park system has a history of over 150 years.
C. Many countries have learned from China’s construction experience.
D. Building this vast national park system in 14 years is a great project.
E. They are also preserving cultural heritage and boosting local economies.
F. In contrast, China has the opportunity to develop a more sustainable approach.
G. Most international visitors still focus on China’s historic cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

One night, John put down his chopsticks. “I want to study abroad,” he said quietly. At the same time, his eyes wandered to the fridge, where a photo of his robotics team displayed their national championship project, organized by a top local university.
His mom looked worried. “Abroad You dislike foreign food!” she said quickly. “What will you eat there Who will make your favorite food And what if you felt sick and no one helped you ” she drank some tea. “You told me the local university you loved since junior high emailed you. Their Excellent Talent Program is great. The professors created the AI system that you’re interested in. This is a big chance here, at home.” She felt happy about this program but scared about her son going abroad alone.
“Being excellent here isn’t enough,” his dad said. “Studying abroad, you’ll become more independent. Meeting people from all over the world will also be valuable experience in your life.” No one spoke. Only the clock ticked. John felt anxious. In his bag, there was an unopened mail from a university abroad. The online photos of overseas lecture halls still stuck in his mind. But his throat felt tight. What if classes were too hard What if he couldn’t understand accents What if he ate bread alone at festivals
Moments later, John’s phone buzzed in his hand. It was an email from the top local university. “I got the interview invitation for the program,” he said. He felt excited but nervous. “They liked my robotics project. But I don’t know how to choose: this program or studying abroad, which is better ” His mom reached out to pat his hand gently with pride, while his dad nodded slowly with a smile.
For days, John had prepared extensively for the interview. He joined night sessions and practiced in front of the mirror. His mom kept refilling his cup with warm tea, and his dad often sat beside him, listening carefully to his practice answers. The smell of his favorite food and his dad’s nods calmed him.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答

读后续写
On the morning of the interview, John’s parents walked him to the campus gate. His mother’s fingers trembled as she smoothed his collar, her eyes reflecting lingering worry. His dad stood silently, offering a firm nod that spoke volumes. As John turned toward the gate, something caught his eye — a banner announcing the university's international exchange programs. Suddenly, the dilemma tormenting him dissolved; excellence here could be his foundation for global opportunities. Taking a deep breath, he walked through the gate with steady steps and renewed purpose.
Weeks later, John received a letter from the top local university. With shaking hands, he opened it. Not only did he receive the acceptance letter, but he was also invited to a special track featuring one-year overseas exchanges. “They offer both,” he whispered, eyes shining at his parents. His mom's worried expression melted into tears of joy, while his dad’s slow smile spoke of pride. John realized he didn’t have to sacrifice his dreams of home for his dreams of the world. The best path, he finally understood, was one that embraced growth wherever it led.
