The Sydney to Melboume Ultramarathon, an endurance race of 875 km,was considered the toughest in the world.It used to be a five-day race,with only the world-class athletes daring to attempt it Most athletes who took part in this ultramarathon were under 30 years of age.
Cliff was a farmer from Australia with a dream of running a race. When he attended the race, he was 61 years old.He had no specialized sportswear.Instead,he wore galoshes overalls.When he appeared at the venue,the onlookers thought he was probably a spectator.To their surprise,Cliff picked up a race number.
Having grown up on a farm,Cliff had to go out to round up the sheep every time there was a storm, because his family could not afford horses or tractors. Two thousand sheep scattered across two thousand acres of land-it took him as long as three days of chasing the animals, but he always succeeded.
The race began, and the strong and young racers started leaving Cliff behind. The racers had a strategy. They would be running hours each for the five days of the race, and sleep for the remaining 6 hours. Nonetheless, Cliff had no such strategy! Being an amateur athlete was not familiar with any such game plan. So, he just ran on and on, and the next morning. When the other athletes wake up, they found that the old man had caught up with the others by jogging all night. By the final night of the race, he had surpassed the other competitors and became the champion.
The next time Cliff caught attention again when he was 76.He took up the challenge of running along Australia's border, across a distance of 16,000 km with the aim of raising money for homeless children. Unfortunately, his crew member fell ill, and Cliff had to withdraw from the race, after running for 6520 km.
Cliff, a simple farmer, created a one-of-a-kind history. Instead of withering away, he started his new life, and showed the world that it's never too late to start following the heart and pursuing dreams.

A Pittsburgh-based robotics and engineering startup recently make Moonwalkers public, a pair of battery-powered shoes that it claims can boost walk speeds by up to 250%.
At first glance, Moonwalkers look like a pair of futuristic roller-skates, but there is actually a lot more to them than that. You’re actually meant to walk with them the way you would with regular shoes or sneakers, letting the motorized wheels put a spring in your step. Powered by a state-of-the-art brushless DC motor（直流电机），this creative device is actually a platform that can be attached to a wide variety of footwear to significantly increase your walking speed up lo a reported 7mph/1lkph. For comparison, humans' average walking speed ranges from 2.5 10 4 mph. The sensation of walking with the world's fastest shoes has been compared to that of walking on a moving walkway in an airport.
Designed by Shift Robotics, an offshoot of Carnegie Mellon University, Moonwalkers consist of a 300W brushless motor in each 4.2-lb(1.9-kg)shoe that powers eight polyurethane wheels. There is also an AI-powered gearbox that increases or decreases speed according to data regarding the wearer's walk collected by a series of sensors. The shoes are also able to detect downhill movement to prevent accidents.
"Moonwalkers are not skates. They're shoes. The world's fastest shoes actually,"Xunjie Zang, founder and CEO of Shift Robotics said.” You don't skate in them.You walk.You don't have to learn how to use them; the shoes learn from you.” But do the world's fastest shoes work on uneven ground, or things like stairs? We all know how tricky those are for roller-skates. Well, apparently the designers took that into consideration and with a simple gesture, the wearer can lock the wheels so that they can walk up or down stairs as they would in regular footwear.
The first batch is expected to ship in March of 2023,at a retail price of $1,399. That's not cheap, but then again, this isn't your average pair of shoes; it’s the world's fastest pair of shoes.
28、Which of the following best explains "put a spring in your step" underlined in Paragraph 2?
A.speed up. B.follow your step.
C.replace your shoes. D.cheer you up.
29、Which aspect of Moonwalkers does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A.The advantage. B.The operating principle.
C.The development. D.The application.
30、What is the most essential part to ensure Moonwalkers to change speed?
A.The brushless DC motor. B.The wheels.
C.The gearbox. D.The sensors.
31、What can be inferred about Moonwalkers?
A.They are environmentally-friendly.
B.They are adaptable to different road conditions.
C.They are suitable for quick learners.
D.They are well-received by budget-conscious people.
Any dog owner can prove that dogs can seem strangely adjusted to human behavior. When humans yell or pick a fight， dogs often respond with anger and fear. Similarly， people with sedentary（久坐的） lifestyle may have seemingly sedentary pets.
Now，a new study reveals that dogs seem to be able to pick up on human vibes（情绪）in a unique way. Specifically, researchers found that when you are stressed, your body produces a distinct smell-and our dogs can smell it. This is not a surprise for dog owners. Yet even though scientists know that dogs feel complex emotions, the study was still unclear whether they could literally smell a person's emotions. A research team set out to cast light on the subject.
"Dogs possess an incredible sense of smell, which enables them to detect diseases and health conditions from smell alone,"Dr.Clara Wilson from Newcastle University said.” Whether these capabilities can be extended to detect smells associated with psychological states has been explored far less."
To test their assumption, the researchers found pet dogs who had no previous smell training so they could teach them smell discrimination using smells that had known differences with each other. Those dogs were then exposed to combined breath and sweat samples from humans-first when those people were in a relaxed state, and then when they were asked to do difficult math problems. Each person acted as their own control. The results spoke for themselves.” From the very first time the dogs were exposed to the baseline and stress samples, they communicated that these samples smelled different," Wilson said. "In 94% of 720 trials they correctly chose the stress sample."
The significance of the study rests in how it highlights the deep connection between humans and dogs-as well as the different ways in which they process reality. "Establishing that dogs can detect a smell associated with human stress provides deeper knowledge of the human-dog relationship. While we as humans are very visual, this finding reminds us that dogs are able to pick up things on what we aren't even aware of,” Wilson said.
32、What's the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To present an argument. B.To introduce the topic.
C.To state common sense. D.To provide supporting details.
33、What did the scientists fail to realize earlier?
A.Whether dogs sense human physical conditions.
B.Whether dogs have great sympathy for humans.
C.Whether dogs react differently to man's behavior.
D.Whether dogs detect human feelings through noses.
34、Why were the subjects asked to do difficult math problems?
A.It was used to assess their intelligence.
B.It could put them in a state of stress.
C.It could make them focus on the task.
D. It helped them produce sweat samples.
35、What is the importance of the study?
A.Uncovering dogs' hidden ability.
B.Decpening our insight into dogs.
C.Knowing the human-dog relationship better.
D.Contributing to the development of medicine.

How well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? In our busy day-to-day lives, we don't often stop to ask ourselves this question. At least I don't. And it wasn't until I joined a competitive sporting event that I learned a most important lesson: we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.
Let me tell you what happened.
I decided to take part in international Marathon in my hometown last year. Being an ambitious person, I hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom I had trained.
The big day finally arrived. “Ready...set... bang" And we were off.
At first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop. At this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and I thought running a marathon was a piece of cake. Then my running mate began to slow down. I urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy. I felt I had partnered with the wrong person, therefore, I sped up and left him behind in the dust.
A few kilometers later, I began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk. After that I was incapable of moving another step. I was ashamed as more and more people passed by me. More than once, I thought “Maybe I should quit.” I started to doubt my ability to finish this race.
注意：
1．续写词数应为120左右：

At this moment, my running mate caught up with me and patted me on the back

I asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me?

解析：M: Good morning, everyone. My name is Michael Coots. I’m glad to be invited to your school to talk about shark attacks. Around twenty-five years ago, I lost my leg in a tiger shark attack. I was surfing around Hawaii when that tiger shark appeared. It grabbed both of my legs, and I started swinging him back and forth like a dog would do with a toy. Afterwards, I hit it with my hands and it went away, but the damage had been done. I lost my right leg. However, it didn’t stop me from going back into the sea.
Three months later, I was surfing with a man-made leg to keep me balanced. I didn’t fear sharks and I didn’t expect getting attacked again. Shark attacks are so unbelievably rare. Actually sharks are very important for the ecosystem. We shouldn’t fear them or try to kill them because of rare attacks done by them. Instead, we should love them and respect them. However, it’s also important to take action to avoid shark attacks. But how? Now you can discuss it. And I’ll talk about it in about ten minutes.

27、答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是 最后一段“Cliff,a simple farmer,created a one-of-a-kind history. Instead of withering away, he started his new life, and showed the world that it's never too late to start following the heart and pursuing dreams.(克里夫,一个简单的农民，创造了一个独一无二的历史。 他没有枯萎，而是开始了他的新生活，并向世界表明，开始追随内心和追求梦想永远不会太晚。）”可知，文章主要讲述了一位名叫 Clif的澳大利亚公民，在61岁时参加了世界上最艰苦的875公里的悉尼至墨尔本超级马 拉松比赛，并最终获得了冠军，D项“克里夫，一个追逐梦想的资深农民。”适合做文 章标题，故选D。
28、答案：A
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线词后句“Powered by a state-of-the-art brushless DC motor (直流电机), this creative device is actually a platform that can be attached to a wide variety of footwear to significantly increase your walking speed up to a reported 7mph/11kph.(这个创意装置由最先进的无刷直流电机提供动力，它实际上是一个平台，可以附着在各种各样的鞋子上，显著提高你的行走速度，据报道最高可达每小时7英里/11公里。)”可知，这种设备能够极大的提高你的步行速度。所以put a spring in your step 为“加快你的步伐。”之意。故选A。
29、答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段“Designed by Shift Robotics, an offshoot of Carnegie Mellon University, Moonwalkers consist of a 300W brushless motor in each 4.2-lb(1.9-kg)shoe that powers eight polyurethane wheels. There is also an Al-powered gearbox that increases or decreases speed according to data regarding the wearer’s walk collected by a series of sensors. The shoes are also able to detect downhill movement to prevent accidents. (“月球漫步者”由卡内基梅隆大学的分支机构Shift Robotics公司设计，每只4.2磅(1.9公斤)重的鞋上装有一个300W的无刷电机，为8个聚氨酯车轮提供动力。还有一个人工智能驱动的变速箱，可以根据一系列传感器收集的佩戴者行走数据来增加或降低速度。这款鞋还能检测下坡运动，防止事故发生。)”可知，这段重点介绍的是这款鞋的工作原理。故选B。
30、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“There is also an Al-powered gearbox that increases or decreases speed according to data regarding the wearer’s walk collected by a series of sensors.(还有一个人工智能驱动的变速箱，可以根据一系列传感器收集的佩戴者行走数据来增加或降低速度。)”可知，起到改变速度的关键零件为变速箱。故选C。
31、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“But do the world’s fastest shoes work on uneven ground, or things like stairs? We all know how tricky those are for rollerskates. Well, apparently the designers took that into consideration and with a simple gesture, the wearer can lock the wheels so that they can walk up or down stairs as they would in regular footwear.(但是，世界上最快的鞋子能在不平坦的地面上或楼梯上运行吗?我们都知道这对旱冰鞋来说有多棘手。显然，设计师们考虑到了这一点，只需一个简单的手势，穿着者就可以锁住轮子，这样他们就可以像穿着普通鞋子一样上下楼梯了。)”可推断，该款鞋对于不同的路况有较强的适应性。故选B。
32、答案：B
解析：理解目的意图题。本篇文章主要讲述了一项最新研究发现,当人们有压力时,身体会产生一种独特的气味,而这种气味狗可以闻到。在第一段中,作者没有直接阐明这一发现,而是列举了养狗主人所知道的一些关于狗的知识,引起读者的兴趣,从而引出话题,故选B。
33、答案：D
解析：理解具体信息题。根据第二段的内容可知,当你有压力时,你的身体会产生一种独特的气味,狗可以闻到。对于养狗的人来说,这并不奇怪。然而,尽管科学家们知道狗能感受到复杂的情绪,但仍不清楚它们是否能真正闻出一个人的情绪。而第三段的最后一句也提供了佐证,故本题选D。
34、答案：B
解析：推断题。根据第四段中的"Those dogs were then exposed to combined breath and sweat samples from humans—first when those people were in a relaxed state, and then when they were asked to do difficult math problems"可知,研究者为了弄清楚狗是否能够从人的气味中闻出紧张的情绪,于是选取了两种气味样本,一种是人处于放松状态时的气味样本,另一种是让人做复杂的数学题时所产生的气味样本,显然,让实验对象做数学题是为了让其产生压力,从而提供紧张气味的样本,故选B。
35、答案：C
解析：推断题。根据最后一段可知,这项研究的意义在于它以这种方式强调人与狗之间的深层联系,以及他们处理现实的不同方式。Wilson说:“确定狗能检测到与人类压力有关的气味,这可以使我们能够更深人地了解人类与狗的关系。虽然我们人类是非常视觉化的,但这一发现提醒我们,狗可能能够捕捉到一些我们甚至没有意识到的东西。”故选C。

52、答案：①a②into/to③have been offered④to overcome⑤attending⑥unlock⑦institutions⑧which⑨beauty⑩effective
解析：①考查冠词。《卜算子·咏梅》是一首著名的诗。此处表泛指,且famous的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。②考查介词。Ferrer用英文朗诵了名诗《卜算子·咏梅》,成功人围网络比赛,并一直坚持到决赛。entrance和into/to搭配,意为"进入……"。③考查时态和语态。本句表示在Ferrer的学生生涯中,她获得过很多奖项。动词offer与主语I是被动关系,此处可以用现在完成时表达过去发生的动作对现在的影响,故可填have been offered。④考查非谓语动词。这首诗传达了一个非常强烈的信息,即不管面对什么情况,在生活中都要乐观、忠诚,从而去克服困难。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语sends,所以此处用动词不定式作目的状语。⑤考查非谓语动词。她在2015年参加了哈瓦那唐人街的中国艺术与传统之家的一门课程,从此开始学习汉语。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语began,空处作状语,表伴随,又因she 和attend 之间是主动关系,因此用现在分词。⑥考查谓语动词。中国诗歌可以帮助人们了解大量的关于中国丰富的文化和职业道德的知识。lock意为"锁上",unlock意为"揭示,打开,解锁"。⑦考查名词复数。根据常识以及空后的"such as the Confucius Institute"可推知,此处应是表示在众多机构的努力下,又因institution是可数名词,故应用institution的复数形式。⑧考查定语从句。过去几年,多亏了孔子学院等机构的努力,中国语言和文化的学习在古巴越来越受欢迎。自2009年(孔子学院)成立以来,已有数千名学生毕业。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,且指物,故填which。⑨考查名词。中国诗歌传递了我们的语言之美。根据句意可知,此处应用名词。⑩考查形容词。中国诗歌传递了我们的语言之美,为我们的价值观、原则和人生哲学的推广创造了一个有效且重要的平台。从空后的"and"看出,空处应为形容词,与后面的important并列,一起修饰后面的名词platform,故用effective。

54、答案：
At this moment, my running mate caught up with me and patted me on the back. “Follow me,” he shouted. He had balanced his marathon pace and encouraged me to do the same. For the rest of this exhausting contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles. Slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities. Eventually we accomplished our first Marathon of 42 kilometers in 5 and half hours.
I asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? My Marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything by being in tune with the rhythm of life. And from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements. It is the interaction of these elementary extremes that produces harmony.
