This altitude is paired with consistent snowfall and Europe’s largest snow-making capacity. La RosiereLa Rosiere is a historic mountain town sitting in the heart of the Saint Bernard Pass.

She had lost her husband early to a heart attack, and two of her four children—both of her sons—died in accidents. Keeling had sunk into a deep depression. Her health had begun to slide and her daughter, Cheryl, began to worry that she soon might be losing her mother as well. Keeling’s daughter is a lifelong athlete. That may be what would pull her mother out from under her dark cloud. She suggested a run. Not just a jog around the block, but an official run. At the time, Ida Keeling was 67. It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall that the first “mini-run” was wonderful. “I just threw off all my bad memories,” Keeling says. She hasn’t stopped running since, and it’s no longer the difficulty it was during that first meet. Since then, Keeling has set records for 60 meters in the 95-99 age group, and in 100 meters for the over 100 group. “I was just exercising,” she says, “and now I’m all over the world.”When she’s not running, she’s working out. She’s in the gym three to four days a week, running, working out with weights and pedaling on the exercise bike—and even exercising while she’s cooking. Part of her healthy diet is an occasional dose of red wine mixed with her coffee or water to aid blood circulation. She’s written a book about her experiences, titled Can’t Nothing Bring Me Down: Chasing Myself in the Race Against Time. Her philosophy is also fit for a runner: “Every day is another day forward.”4．Why did Keeling start to run at an old age?A．She wanted her daughter getting out of dark cloud.B．She wanted to learn from her daughter.C．Cheryl persuaded her to do so.D．Cheryl wanted her to be a lifelong runner.5．How did Keeling feel about her first “mini-run”?A．Pleased B．Curious. C．Annoyed. D．Proud.6．What can we infer about Keeling from the last paragraph?A．She used to live a hard life. B．She spends much time writing.C．She is very fond of cooking. D．She is very active in sports.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Early hard life of Keeling B．The benefit of running for Keeling’s later lifeC．The significance of caring for old people D．Every day is precious for old people Curiosity is key to learning. In fact, studies show that, when we’re curious about a subject, we are much more likely to remember information we learned about that subject. If you’re an educational professional or are considering earning a teaching degree and entering the classroom, knowing how to enlighten students’ curiosity can help you improve learning outcomes. Curiosity most often begins with “why”. Why does natural gas burn blue? Why is blue spelled blue and not blew? Why does the wind blow? If you want to fire up your students’ curiosity, you need to encourage them to ask and try to answer questions. That means you should avoid giving tedious lectures where you explain everything. Instead, try designing your classes so that you’re posing questions. And be sure to leave openings for students to participate and ask questions about what they’re learning. Not every question your students ask will be a question you expect. But all questions prove a curious mind, so don’t dismiss questions that don’t fit with your lesson. Instead, leave unstructured time in class to address unexpected questions, or establish a system whereby unexpected questions can be “stored” for later, like on a whiteboard or in an online document. In addition to making room for unexpected questions, you should also make room for students’ exploration of their questions. If you give your students enough time to discuss questions, their curiosity is certainly to expand. Curiosity is a fuel. It drives us to try to figure things out and, finally, to learn. So make sure you give your students time for reflection after every class. Ask them to create a quick piece of art to reflect what they’ve learned. Not only does this kind of reflection aid in learning, it can also teach students to make curiosity a constantly present part of their lives.8．Why is curiosity vital to study according to the text?A．It improves students’ memory.B．It helps gain a better learning result.C．It assists teachers in encouraging students.D．It promotes the understanding of each other.9．What does the underlined word “tedious” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Dull. B．Considerable. C．Essential. D．Popular.10．How can a teacher expand students’ curiosity?A．By asking as many questions as possible.B．By encouraging students to ask unexpected questions.C．By offering students sufficient time to discuss questions.D．By dismissing the questions that don’t fit with the lesson.11．What is this text mainly about?A．Definition of curiosity. B．Significance of imagination.C．Ways of making classes educative. D．Methods for enlightening curiosity. Wild animals are human’s friends, an important part of the natural ecosystem, and valuable natural resources endowed(赋予)by nature. Indian elephants, a subspecies of Asian elephants, have been considered endangered since 1986. There are only an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 Indian elephants left in the wild, and the global population is believed to be decreasing. Habitat loss is widely considered a direct threat to Indian elephants. Recent economic growth and subsequent increased development in Asia are the main causes of this habitat loss. From expanding human settlements and mining to converting land to plantations and infrastructure(基础建设), many activities can block migratory elephant routes and drive them into smaller sub-populations. When animals are forced into smaller pockets of populations, they risk losing genetic diversity and have a higher chance of dying from disease and natural disasters. In India, elephants have faced a 70% population decline over the last 60 years. When accounting for climate change projections, scientists predict that the elephant population in the country could lose over 40% of its habitat by 2070. As elephants lose their habitats to human settlements and development, interactions between humans and elephants also rise. Elephant populations, especially those living outside of protected areas, wander into agricultural lands in search of food and cause crop or property loss. Even worse, these impacts may cause farmers and residents to retaliate against the elephants if they believe their assets are in danger. Poison or other deadly methods have been used. Although countries like India, Vietnam, and Myanmar have completely banned the capture of wild elephants for any purpose, illegal hunting still happens in those and other nations where Indian elephants live. Countries around the world are taking action to protect Indian elephants. In parts of Myanmar, teams of rangers work to protect and co-manage wild elephant populations with the Wildlife Conservation Society. They use the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool(SMART), a geographic information systems-based software to systematically collect, manage, analyze, and report data collected from forests. With SMART, park managers can deploy rangers strategically in hotpots for illegal hunting or other illegal activities, manage efforts, and organize resources.12．What is the immediate cause of the decline of Indian elephant’s number?A．The growth of economy. B．The loss of their habitat.C．The change of the climate. D．The increase of illegal hunting.13．What do the figures in paragraph 4 show?A．The main change of ecosystem. B．The main features of Indian elephants.C．The problems caused by Indian elephants. D．The severity of Indian elephants’ situation.14．How does the SMART work?A．By completely preventing hunting.B．By collecting and reporting data collected from forests.C．By founding the Wildlife Conservation Society.D．By counting the population of wildlife.15．What’s the purpose of this text?A．To advertise for Indian elephants.B．To attract tourists to watch Indian elephants.C．To appeal to people to protect Indian elephants.D．To introduce Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool.  二、七选五There are all kinds of reasons why people struggle to get up in the morning. It can be difficult to leave the comfort of a warm bed, especially when cold outside. Sometimes, the need to stay under the duvet(羽绒被)might come from feeling overwhelmed(被压垮的)by the thought of the tasks that lie ahead. ____16____ Thankfully, you can ease the transition from night to day. Get enough sleep. As obvious as it sounds, sleep deprivation(匮乏)builds up gradually, so try to notice how rested you feel upon waking. The suggested amount for teens is between 8 and 10hours a night, but there’s no “right” figure. ____17____ Getting enough sleep can be a challenge in the teen years because there’s a change in the brain’s production of a hormone called melatonin(褪黑素), which brings about feelings of sleepiness. Melatonin is thought to be produced later at night in teenagers. ____18____ It’s possible that the production of melatonin is delayed by looking at screens, so switch off from devices early in the evening. Shine a light. It’s difficult to fall asleep when exposed to light. ____19____ The sleep producing chemicals the body makes at night stay in the system on waking and can take between 60 and 90 minutes to fade away, causing that groggy(无力的)feeling that makes it hard to open your eyes. How can you accelerate the process? ____20____ Try to replicate(复制)waking up naturally with the dawn, allowing the body time to adjust to the new day. If you have thick curtains, it can be a good idea to leave them open a crack so that light comes in.A．So it’s more difficult to fall asleep early.B．Just don’t be tempted to get back under the covers!C．Exposure to light is one way to speed up this process.D．Similarly, trying to get up while it’s still dark is tricky.E．Jumping out of bed is probably the first thing you can imagine.F．And a broken night’s sleep ups the temptation to keep sleeping.G．Some people function well on fewer hours, but others might need more.  三、完形填空Alice had a serious disease.
