Consider a stay in the downtown area, which is especially walkable with its numerous concert places and restaurants within easy reach.Las Vegas, NevadaLas Vegas may be famous for its casinos, shows and entertainment, but it’s also considered the cultural center of Nevada. The city as a whole isn’t the most walkable destination, but the Las Vegas Strip is extremely walker-friendly — it’s small and easy to get from one attraction to another.Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaIt’s easy to lose track of time while you are wandering throughout the walkable downtown of Pittsburgh. Once you’re done admiring the architecture, catching a show, and hanging out at Point State Park, cross Roberto Clemente Bridge to continue your explorations. Watch the world-championship winner Pittsburgh Pirates play baseball at PNC Park, see Andy Warhol’s work up close at a museum dedicated to him, or spend an afternoon at the National Aviary.Seattle, WashingtonWith the surrounding mountains, forests, and bodies of water, Seattle is nicknamed the “Emerald City” for all its thick greenery. It’s also very walkable, with many shops, restaurants, and attractions easily accessed on foot. The most walker-friendly parts of Seattle include its downtown area, Belltown, Capitol Hill, and Queen Anne.1. What can we know about Columbus?A. It is the cultural center of Ohio’.B. It is the smartest city in the US.C. Its downtown is highly recommended for visitors.D. Its University District has plenty of coffee shops.2. Where can tourists enjoy a professional sports game?A. In Seattle. B. In Pittsburgh. C. In Columbus. D. In Las Vegas.3. What do the four places have in common?A. They are famous for excellent museums. B. Their residents are very friendly to visitors.C. They all have beautiful natural environments. D. Their attractions are suitable to explore on foot.【答案】1. C 2. B 3. DB“We’re having cheese ‘n’ kabobs.” That’s what I heard my wife say. I knew I didn’t hear it right, so I asked her to repeat herself. “Chicken kebabs,” she repeated. That made more sense. What didn’t make sense was why I misunderstood for the first time, when I was actually sitting one foot away from her.As I confirmed with testing, it’s not because my ears were struggling to hear. Instead, my brain was struggling to process the sounds. I was diagnosed (诊断) with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). The ears can take in the sounds, but the information the brain gets doesn’t make sense.Some people were born with the problem, while others, like me, develop it after an injury to the brain. My world changed after I fell over and hit my head. While my other problems, such as sensitivity (敏感) to light, gradually improved over the years, the issue with hearing things differently remained and it took a long time for me to understand why.I eventually found an expert who could figure out what was going on. Before the meeting, I struggled a lot with simple interactions (交流) with the world around me, like listening to music, reading, and talking to my family and friends. Though learning I had APD was scary, getting the diagnosis felt like a door had finally been opened and I could get out of prison. There was a way to interact with the world after all.The doctor told me that, despite no cure for APD, there are tools and tricks to make it easier to live with. As suggested, when someone wants to talk to me, I stop what I’m doing first — my brain can’t deal with many information flows at once.Now, it’s great that my wife doesn’t have to repeat herself over and over again. The downside is that the way she gets my attention now is making me feel a little like Siri (a voice assistant on some electronic products). Our conversations often begin with, “Hey, Ryan!”4. Why did the author mishear his wife?A. His wife stood far away from him. B. He paid little attention to her then.C. He failed to process sounds properly. D. His ears had difficulty in receiving sounds.5. How did the author develop APD?A. He got it after a serious illness. B. He was born with the condition.C. He suffered a brain injury from a fall. D. He experienced long-term ear problems.6. What was the author’s reaction when he got the diagnosis?A. He didn’t believe it. B. He felt relieved and hopeful.C. He was disappointed and fearful. D. He considered it a reason to quit.7. What did the expert suggest the author do?A. Focus on one task at a time. B. Practise his hearing regularly.C Try hard to improve his memory. D. Use digital tools like Siri.【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. ACTo us humans, glass is ordinary; to birds, it’s one of the world’s most troubling materials. A bird flying toward a window notices only the space and objects beyond, not the invisible (看不到的) force field in its way. Glass kills as many as a billion birds every year in the United States alone.Chicago, among the largest and brightest cities within North America’s Mississippi flyway, is especially deadly. The millions of artificial (人工的) lights present themselves as false stars, confusing birds that locate themselves by starlight and attracting them toward the glassy buildings below. In 2019, researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology considered Chicago the country’s most dangerous city for birds.The city’s residents aren’t oblivious of the disaster. Some building managers have taken measures to protect birds, and politicians have tried to relieve the problem through laws. But progress has been slow, and new glass buildings appear every year.The history of bird-strike research in Chicago dates back to 1978. That year, Dave Willard, an ornithologist at the city’s Field Museum, inspired Lights Out Chicago, a citywide activity that encourages building managers to shut their lights during migration (迁徙) seasons. Most years, more than 90 percent of Chicago’s towers take part. “Yet even with lights out, a large number of birds are killed,” Willard said. “There’s no change in our taste for glass as an architectural feature.”Fortunately, Illinois took the lead in 2021 by requiring that new state-owned buildings include bird-friendly things like netting and screens, becoming one of the first US states to pass such a law.8. What makes Chicago particularly dangerous for birds?A. It lies in the birds’ main flyway. B. Its glass buildings are much taller.C. Its residents usually catch birds. D. It has much light reflected by glass.9. What does the underlined part “aren’t oblivious of” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Aren’t aware of. B. Aren’t interested in. C. Aren’t affected by. D. Aren’t blind to.10. What can be inferred from Dave Willard’s words in paragraph 4?A. People’s preference for glass worsens the bird death problem.B. More laws should be laid down to protect the birds from dying.C. Building managers should actively take part in Lights Out Chicago.D. Turning off lights is the most effective way to solve the bird death problem.11. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The history of US bird migration research.B. The bird death from glass and its solutions.C. The popularity of Chicago’s glass architecture.D. Artificial lighting’s effects on the environment.【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. BDIn the past, finding a private sports coach often meant word-of-mouth referrals, expensive training equipment, and longtime scheduling. But as technology continues to reshape the way we work, learn, and connect, the world of youth sports training is getting its own upgrade.Just as Uber reimagined transportation, new digital platforms are now decentralizing (使分散) the $20 billion youth sports industry, giving families more direct access to qualified coaches — and providing former athletes with flexible opportunities after their playing careers (职业) end. It is comforting to see that the time of on-demand coaching comes.This model, often referred to as the “platformization” of sports training, is catching on fast. Rather than having to pay for year-round training fees or expensive academies, families can now access high-quality coaching one session (一节) at a time — often from athletes who have competed at the highest levels. The data from Athletes Untapped, an on-demand coaching platform, shows a great increase in the number of youth training sessions booked online between 2018 and 2024. The sharp rise reflects increasing comfort with using digital tools to find and schedule specialized coaching, in line with consumer trends (趋势) seen in fitness, tutoring, and other service fields.Much of this growth has been driven by parents seeking personalized, flexible training options that fit into increasingly busy family schedules. Rather than signing up for seasonal or year-round programs, families are choosing to book single sessions based on their child’s needs and availability — often working directly with former collegiate or professional athletes in their local area.Former athletes get a meaningful, flexible path forward. And the game itself? It gets to live on in new forms. Further analysis of platform data shows which sports are driving the most interest in private coaching. Basketball, soccer, baseball, and volleyball rank as the most-booked disciplines on Athletes Untapped, consistent with broader youth sports participation trends in the U. S.But the bigger takeaway? The way we think about skill-building is changing. Kids want coaches they connect with. Parents want transparency and trust. And both want access — without the red tape. Whether you’re a parent looking for flexible training options or an ex-athlete figuring out your next chapter, the message is clear: Coaching, like almost everything else, is going on-demand and that will benefit more people.12. What’s a feature of the “platformization” of sports training?A. It serves sports training to youth with Uber.B. It offers families more advanced training equipment.C. It lets families make a more detailed training schedule.D. It provides families with access to high-quality coaching.13. Why does the author mention the data from Athletes Untapped?A. To prove traditional sports training is still popular.B. To show the increasing difficulty in booking online training sessions.C. To explain the growing trend of using digital platforms for sports coaching.D. To stress digital tools can lead to better training results.14. What is the author’s attitude to new coaching models?A. Doubtful. B. Appreciative. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Technology Is Changing Sports CoachingB. Professional Athletes Serve as Good CoachesC. Traditional Coaching Methods Are Still the Best Choice TodayD. The Differences Between Traditional Coaching and On-Demand Coaching【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15.

However, here are some tips for managing exam stress and avoiding burnout.◎Do one thing at a time.As an old saying goes, “If you try to chase two rabbits, they’ll both escape.” This is also true for final projects or papers. A key part of managing exam stress is to finish one project, subject, or paper at a time. ___17___.◎Get your priorities (优先事项) set.You should focus on the most immediate task first, or one you know you’ll need to spend more time on. ____18____. This is especially helpful when you’re studying for exams, as setting your priorities lets you devote more time and energy to subjects that you know you struggle with, or work on meeting deadlines (截止日期) that you’re closer to.◎Budget (规划) your time.Getting good grades and studying enough for your exams are important, but if that comes at the expense of your sleep schedule or mental health, then you’re shooting yourself in the foot before you even reach the deadline. ____19____. Though we must make sure to set aside time for studies, we should find time to relax.◎___20___.This trick for managing exam stress goes hand in hand with the previous one. End-of-term projects, papers and exams can feel huge when the deadline is approaching, the large amount of work seeming impossible to do all at once. If you divide huge projects into smaller pieces, you’ll find your stress lowering and your productivity increasing.A. It’s not worth itB. Improve your productivityC. Break down your workD. It’s no secret that finals can be stressfulE. In this way you can manage your stress easilyF. Make sure you know what’s more importantG. It can also let you set aside some “me time”【答案】16. D 17.

Many asked questions about customs, making the session both fun and educational.Feedback was enthusiastic.

The two brothers had grown inseparable from Coco. They spent nights searching their neighborhood, posting “Lost Dog” posters on every street. They even left a bowl of food and a blanket (毯子) by the door each night, refusing to let hope fade entirely. At the same time, they reported their dog’s missing to the police station.As time passed week by week, the family gradually lost their original optimism (乐观), yet their daily practice of holding onto hope remained unshaken. “We knew Coco might be gone,” Helen Van Heerden recalled, “but those small acts kept us connected to the possibility of her return. “The brothers’ dedication (奉献) — staying up late to check parks and small streets, asking neighbors for clues — proved that love can last a long time.The good news came on a Saturday morning in mid-March. As the family packed for a weekend trip, Helen’s phone rang. Adicia Thomas, an officer from the police station, spoke in a rush, “We’ve found Coco! A woman named Joy Matodzi rescued her — she’s safe.”Alicia Thomas told them the whole story. Weeks earlier, Joy Matodzi, an animal lover who ran a small vegetable stand, was walking home when she saw a man mistreating a trembling dog on a dirt road. When she saw its silver collar (颈圈) and its tearful eyes, she immediately knew that she must help that dog. She was sure that no pet should be treated like trash. When the man demanded $15 to free the dog, Joy paid without hesitation, and then she rushed to the police station to report it.After Alicia Thomas detailed the story, he asked the Van Heerden family to come to the police station to bring the dog home.注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。The family gave up their trip and drove to the police station in high spirits. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Inspired by what Joy did, the two brothers decided to help animals in need. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】The family gave up their trip and drove to the police station in high spirits. As soon as they entered the room, Coco let out an excited bark and dashed toward the brothers, who knelt down to hug her tightly. Tears of joy rolled down their cheeks as they stroked her shaggy fur, checking if she was hurt. Helen held Coco in her arms, murmuring, “We thought we’d lost you forever.” When they met Joy, the family thanked her repeatedly, offering money as a reward, but Joy refused with a smile, saying, “Anyone who loves animals would do the same.”Inspired by what Joy did, the two brothers decided to help animals in need. They used their pocket money to buy food and water bowls, placing them in parks for stray animals. With their parents’ help, they set up a small “animal rescue corner” in their yard, where they took care of injured cats and dogs they found. They also made posters to call on neighbors to treat animals kindly. Whenever someone asked why they did this, the brothers would say proudly, “Joy saved Coco, and we want to pass on her kindness.”
