Portugal’s second city, Porto, is an ideal place to visit for an activity holiday. Here are some different physical outdoor options.

Rollerskating at the Casa Da Musica and along Matosinhos beach

Head along to Matosinhos, a popular resort town just three miles northeast the city centre, for a relaxed skate along the promenade(海滨步行大道). This route is hugely popular with rollerskaters, so if you’re solo you’ll be bound to make skater friends quickly.

Estimated time: Your call!

Length: 0.5mi

Difficulty: Easy

Running along the Douro

Start off at the foot of the Dom Luis I bridge on the Gaia riverfront and head west along the restaurant-filled promenade. After half a mile or so, the promenade becomes a wooden walkway along a main road.

The wooden walkway eventually becomes a wide pavement. Keep running until you reach Cabedelo do Douro, a stunning nature reserve and beach at the mouth of the Douro.

Temperatures can easily hit the high twenties and low thirties degree Celsius in late spring and summer so make sure you bring enough water, wear a cap, and pack some sunscreen.

Estimated running time: 1-2 hours

Length:4.5-8.5mi (depends on if you want to run back from the beach)

Difficulty: Moderate

Trail running in the Santa Justa mountains

Into trail running? Try this roughly six-mile loop trail(环行路线) found less than 12.5 miles east of the city centre.

It’s easy to spend hours admiring the beauty of your surroundings post-run, but make sure you leave enough time to get back down before dark as otherwise, you’ll have to rely on the moon for guidance home!

Estimated running time: 3 hours

Length: Roughly 6mi

Difficulty: Moderate to challenging

Hiking the Paiva Walkways

Featuring steep wooden walkways, it is an ultra-scenic but steep riverside hike found about an hour’s drive southeast of the city center.

The walkways trail along forests and mountain scenery, and you’ll be able to spot loads of wildlife, as well as some ancient monuments. Both ends of the sign-posted and tourist-friendly trail have restaurants and toilets too.

Estimated time: 2 hours

Length: 5.5mi

Difficulty: Challenging

Since I was a little girl growing up in Safranbolu, Turkey, I’ve dreamed of exploring the world- from the sandy beaches of Califormia to the northern lights in Iceland. Until a couple of years ago, I couldn’t have even imagined this happening, but a few months ago my dreams finally became a reality.

I’m more than 7ft (2.15 metres) tall, so travelling is difficult for me. I am the tallest woman in the world, due to a rare genetic condition called Weaver Syndrome (韦弗综合症), which affects only 50 people.

My childhood was not easy. I was home schooled because of my physical condition and from as early as I can remember, I knew I looked different from other people. I felt like a child trapped inside an adult’s body. When I was six, I was already 5ft in tall. As a social norm (标准), people expect men to be bigger and taller than women; this makes things very difficult for tall women, and I find it upsetting.

I often need to adjust things due to my height. Everything has to be altered to suit me, which can be very hard, but there are positives, too. I usually buy clothes from brands specializing in plus-size clothing, then alter them. I’ll find a dress that I like and then get it turned into a top. Bottoms always have to be tailored. It gives me a chance to be creative.

I’ve always been a very ambitious person. In 2014, when I was 17, I received the title for the tallest living teenager. I actually applied for it myself, as I saw the record holder at the time was shorter than me.

In 2021 I was named the tallest living woman, and last year I received the titles for the largest hands, longest fingers and longest back, too. I use these titles as a platform to raise awareness about my condition and also to empower people to be themselves. I hope to inspire and encourage other people with similar conditions to know they’re not alone and that anything is possible for them.

24．What makes the author’s childhood challenging?

A．Her homeschooling. B．Her mixed emotions.

C．Her abnormal height. D．Her eagerness to travel.

25．How did the author respond to the titles?

A．She turned down such strange names.

B．She realized her dreams by advertising them.

C．She was ashamed of being against the social norm.

D．She made full use of them to promote public awareness.

26．What can we infer about the author?

A．She longs to help those identical to her.

B．She is an ambitious but stubborn person.

C．She specializes in tailoring her clothes by herself.

D．She holds the tallest record shorter than the former.

27．What is the best title of the text?

A．I am the tallest woman in the world.

B．My rare genetic condition makes travel tough.

C．The taller you are, the more positive you will be.

D．Being too tall bans me from realizing my dreams.

Dr Tamara Scully, a psychologist who works with children, young people and adults, shares how grandparents can help children’s well-being.

It is difficult to search for the answer to the main mental health challenges facing children. Over the past two years, there has been an increase in child and adolescent mental health difficulties. In particular, there has been a significant increase in anxiety and eating disorders, both of which are the consequence of the COVID-19. Young people are also reporting a much higher level of solitude (孤独), which may arise from spending too much time on cellphones, televisions and computers.

All these will deeply affect how they behave in their daily life. And it’s absolutely normal for young people to move up and down the mental health curve (曲线). “We get concerned when we notice big changes in their behavior that don’t pass in a few weeks. For example, grandchildren stop meeting friends, stay in their bedroom or lose interest in things they used to enjoy.”

So what role can grandparents play in ensuring their grandchildren’s well-being? According to Scully, the most important thing grandparents can offer is simply themselves, just being there, listening and accepting. There’s a lovely saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Relationships are the biggest predictors of happiness and success throughout the whole life. Strong positive relationships build resilience (抗逆力) in our young people.

Grandparents should also be present and give their time. They can give their time directly to their grandchildren and to their own children. A parent who is allowed time to refuel will show up as a better parent. They can help their grandchildren by being on their team and sitting with them when times are tough. All children benefit from something called relational wealth and this is a grandparent’s most important contribution to the growth of their younger generations.

28．Why do young people suffer from increasing loneliness?

A．They have less non-screen time.

B．They prefer enjoying various take-out.

C．They fail to conquer emotional disorders.

D．They concentrate more on ups than downs.

29．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Children should form great resilience.

B．Children should learn to predict their success.

C．Children should be brought up by all villagers.

D．Children should grow up in a harmonious relationship.

30．What is the attitude of Scully toward listening to grandchildren?

A．Disapproved. B．Favorable.

C．Tolerant. D．Skeptical.

31．What is the text mainly about?

A．How to accept the youth of today. B．How to be a qualified grandparent.

C．How to help grandchildren’s welfare. D．How to tackle the mental health challenges.

A fourth color might be added to traffic lights to better realize the potential of self-driving vehicles, as stated in a recent paper by researchers at North Carolina State University in the US.

Autonomous vehicles can do more than just drive-they are able to sense their surroundings and upload information. A shared network gives orders to stop at a crossing based on traffic conditions.

The added white lights would be used to signal to human drivers that autonomous vehicles are managing the upcoming traffic flow intelligently. Drivers don’t have to check the traditional lights if the white one is on. “The white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them,” one of the study authors Ali Hajbabaie told the university’s website.

Simulated (模拟的) models showed that autonomous vehicles were able to improve traffic flow on their own. Introducing the white light also has a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption. The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at a crossing, the faster the traffic moves, reducing about 40 to 99 percent of the total delay time.

What kind of infrastructure (基础设施) is needed as self-driving technology thrives? In an interview with China Surveying and Mapping magazine, Liu Jingnan at the Chinese Academy of Engineering shared his answers.

To begin with, the vehicle’s network that collects data about the environment and shares the data with other vehicles needs to be intelligent. High-precision maps are needed for autonomous vehicles to plan routes in detail. They can provide both updated information on traditional maps and real-time changes, such as accidents.

For example, when driving around a curve, the navigation (导航) system in the vehicle needs to calculate the safe speed based on the map’s information. And if the area is foggy, the network has to alarm the other cars to slow down.

Other elements on the road need to be upgraded too. For example, road markings should be precise and readable for machines. Sensors should be built on sidewalks and roads to allow vehicles to predict potentially dangerous situations.

32．What is the purpose of adding a white light to traffic lights?

A．To signal to self-driving cars when to stop.

B．To help driverless cars assess traffic conditions.

C．To tell human drivers to go after the cars in front.

D．To signal to human drivers to pass the cars ahead.

33．According to the article, what effect would the introduction of self-driving cars bring about?

A．Increased road safety. B．Reduced fuel efficiency.

C．Less time stuck in traffic. D．Unpredictable traffic patterns.

34．What is a function of high-precision maps in self-driving technology?

A．To calculate a safe speed for vehicles. B．To provide real-time weather updates.

C．To plan routes for autonomous vehicles. D．To offer real-time data on road conditions.

35．What does the author intend to prove in the second-to-last paragraph?

A．The advantages of autonomous vehicles.

B．The role of the navigation system in self-driving cars.

C．The application of the infrastructure in self-driving cars.

D．The efficiency of self-driving cars handling emergencies.

九、读后续写

67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

A friend is best found in adversity.

Since my school had shut down for COVID-19, I was expected to study at home. Unfortunately, I had little motivation to do any schoolwork. Whenever I sat down, my mind would wander off to other things. I had no focus but the final exams were coming up.

How could I possibly get myself prepared in one week? My hands started trembling and it was hard to breathe. My heart was pounding and tears were rolling down my face. My head felt heavier and heavier, dragging my body down to the ground as I started swaying back and forth and then plummeted(坠落) towards the floor. I couldn’t see and I felt like I was slipping in and out of consciousness.

When I came to myself, I got up, took some medicine and never told anyone. I knew exactly what had happened—I had just had a panic attack. I’d battled anxiety since I was twelve, and, because of the increasing isolation due to COVID-19, my symptoms were worsening. I had experienced panic attacks before, though never as extreme as this one.

I convinced myself that if I just got some rest, things would be better in the morning. The new term was approaching and it stimulated my social anxiety. I wasn’t ready to step into a room full of people who I didn’t know. The first day of in-person class wasn’t any better, as my heart pounded every time I spoke. Every day was a new day for anxiety to have a bad effect on my physical and mental health.

I remembered when the first real panic attack struck me, I ran to the bathroom and isolated myself in a stall(小隔间) for the whole period without anyone helping me. Although I powered through it, I still felt so lonely. I even got to the point where I had to stay home from school for a week so that I felt I could focus more. However, when Monday came again, I had to go back.

The first hour or so back at school was okay, I had to come up with excuses to explain my absence and re-assess any missing work I had. But then a hurricane of anxiety came crashing into me, destroying any hope of having a good day. I ran through the bustling(熙熙攘攘的) halls to the bathroom and closed myself into the last stall, hoping this attack would pass quickly.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

But this time something was different; this time I wasn’t alone.

66．Dear Peter,

Hearing you are about to return home, I’d like to give you a calligraphy work featuring four Chinese characters “qie’ erbushe” as a souvenir, which form a Chinese idiom.

The idiom expresses the great spirit of persistence. “Qie” means “the act of carving” and “bu she” means “non-stop”. This idiom comes from an old saying, which means if we keep carving, we will eventually turn a piece of metal or a stone into an artwork, however hard it is. This idiom highlights the moral that if we don’t quit, we will achieve our goal someday.

At last, I would like to extend my best wishes to you. Wish you a bright future.

Yours,

Li Hua

67．One possible version:

But this time something was different; this time I wasn’t alone. I saw Morgan’s shoes underneath the stall doors. A touch of embarrassment swept over me. “Are you okay?” Morgan’s soft voice floated from the stall beside her. “Y-yeah, I’m fine.” I stuttered. Then it was quiet for a moment before Morgan responded sweetly, “Tell me about your trouble, maybe I can help you.” I sat inside the stall, hesitating, while she sat outside until I was ready to come out. (83 Words)

Seeing Morgan, I forced a smile. Then she wrapped me up in a hug, whispering “It’s okay to cry, but you don’t have to do it alone”. I instantly melted. I knew I was less scared to get back to class this time, knowing she was with me, right by my side. I even started getting more comfortable talking about my issues. I still struggle with anxiety today at times. But I know I’m not alone and I don’t have to be. (87 Words)
