B
I may not be a “bad” runner, but I am slow. The farthest I have ever run is 6 km and it happened because I was going to a pub at the other end. When you first start running, people get you excited about experiencing the “runner’s high”, that magical sense of extreme excitement you get from really pushing your body. I’ve never run fast enough, or far enough, to get close to that extraordinary phenomenon, but what I expect to get from running is the “runner’s smugness” — a feeling of self-satisfaction.
I had tried to become a runner before, downloading the Couch to 5K app. I thought maybe this was something that could help my anxiety, too. But it didn’t stick. It felt impossible to run for a whole minute. Plus, there were just too many other, less horrible-feeling things I could be doing.
That changed with COVID-19 lockdowns. Suddenly, I had too much time and increasing anxiety that I needed to get on top of it. So I reopened the app and started running again. Over time, I got better. I could run for a minute, no problem. Then three, then five, and then eight. More importantly, I’ve noticed that running reduces my anxiety. On a particularly anxious day, running can help me get out of my head or, at the very least, give me something else to do for half an hour.
I’ve been running now for four years. Unexpectedly, I finally reached the 5 km mark. It was slow. I certainly stopped several times. I got home and collapsed straight into an armchair. And so there lies the smugness: I did something. I achieved my running goal. A wave of pride filled me. I managed to put on my sneakers and running outfit, leave the house for 30 minutes and go for a run.
For me, running isn’t about the “runner’s high”. It’s about the small, everyday achievement of doing something. I know every small step will make me feel better in the long run. Feeling smug about these little wins is enough.
4. What did the author hope to gain from running
A. The “runner’s high”. B. The “runner’s smugness”.
C. A sense of extreme excitement. D. A feeling of self-dissatisfaction.
5. Why did the author start running again during the COVID-19 lockdowns
A. To test an app. B. To connect with partners.
C. To reduce anxiety. D. To challenge her limits.
6. How did the author feel after reaching 5km mark
A. Embarrassed. B. Upset. C. Fascinated. D. Proud.
7. What does the author find most valuable about running
A. Less is more.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. A good beginning is half the battle.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者通過堅持跑步戰勝焦慮，逐步實現自我突破并從中獲得成就感和人生感悟的故事。
【4題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第一段中“I’ve never run fast enough, or far enough, to get close to that extraordinary phenomenon, but what I expect to get from running is the “runner’s smugness” — a feeling of self-satisfaction.(我從未跑得足夠快，也從未跑得足夠遠，以接近那種非凡的體驗，但我期望從跑步中獲得的是“跑步者的自鳴得意”——一種自我滿足的感覺)”可知，作者所期望從跑步中獲得的是一種自我滿足感，即“跑步者的自鳴得意”。故選B。
【5題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段中“Suddenly, I had too much time and increasing anxiety that I needed to get on top of it. So I reopened the app and started running again.(突然間，我有了太多的時間，同時焦慮感也在不斷增加，我需要控制這種情緒。因此，我重新打開了那個應用程序，并再次開始跑步)”可推知，作者在新冠疫情封鎖期間重新開始跑步是為了緩解日益增長的焦慮情緒。故選C。
【6題詳解】
細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中“Unexpectedly, I finally reached the 5 km mark. It was slow. I certainly stopped several times. I got home and collapsed straight into an armchair. And so there lies the smugness: I did something. I achieved my running goal. A wave of pride filled me.(出乎意料的是，我最終還是跑完了5公里。雖然速度很慢，過程中我也確實停了好幾次。但當我回到家，一下子癱倒在扶手椅上時，我內心涌起了一種自鳴得意的情緒：我做到了，我達成了自己的跑步目標。一股自豪感油然而生)”可知，作者在達到5公里標記后感到非常自豪。故選D。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據最后一段中“For me, running isn’t about the “runner’s high”. It’s about the small, everyday achievement of doing something. I know every small step will make me feel better in the long run.(對我來說，跑步并不是為了追求那種“跑步者的快感”。它更多的是關于每天做一點小事情，取得小小的成就。我知道，從長遠來看，每一步小小的進步都會讓我感覺更好)”可推知，作者認為跑步的價值在于每天的小小進步和成就，這種“小步積累”的過程與“千里之行，始于足下”的理念非常契合。因此，D選項“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step(千里之行始于足下)”是正確答案，而A選項“Less is more(少即是多)”、B選項“Practice makes perfect(熟能生巧)”以及C選項“A good beginning is half the battle(良好的開端是成功的一半)”均與原文描述的核心意義不符。故選D。
C
It’s no secret that any type of tobacco (煙草) use is not healthy. But for most people, it is hard to quit. That is because most of them started the habit as teenagers and because tobacco contains nicotine. “Nicotine is a highly addictive, very powerful drug,” said Dr. Kimberly Horn, Associate Dean of Research at the George Washington University Milken School of Public Health.
Dr. Horn said teens are likely to use more than one form of tobacco. It could be cigarettes, small cigars, or smokeless tobacco. And teens who smoke are likely to use electronic cigarettes, which also deliver nicotine.
There is no one technique for quitting that works for everyone. Some turn to e-cigarettes for help. Cici, one of the smokers participating in the program, is hoping electronic cigarettes can help her kick the habit.
“When I tried it for the first time, I said, ‘Oh, that’s almost as good as smoking,’” she said. “And then I realized there were so many benefits, and I realized it was better than smoking.”
Studies show electronic devices work for some people, but not for others. Behavior therapy and medication and products that reduce nicotine desire like gum and nicotine patches (貼片) might help.
Dr. Nancy Rigotti at Massachusetts General Hospital and other researchers designed a program to help smokers quit while they were in the hospital and stay smoke-free after they were discharged (獲準出院).
Some patients were given a nicotine patch or medication and counsel in the hospital, with follow-up support after they left. “We know that medication works and that counsel works, but they work much better together than either one alone,” Rigotti said. Seventy percent of smokers in that program were still smoke-free six months after leaving the hospital.
The U.S. government and private companies have been running anti-smoking campaigns since 1964 when the U.S. Surgeon General produced his first report on smoking and health. Since then, there have been reports on how smoking affects women, young people and various diseases, including diabetes and cancer.
8. Why is it hard to quit smoking
A. Smoking can help people feel energetic quickly.
B. There are too many forms of tobacco.
C. Smoking can comfort one who is annoyed.
D. Nicotine in tobacco is extremely addictive.
9. Which may be useless for people wanting to quit smoking
A. Gum and nicotine patches. B. Behavioral therapy.
C. Smokeless tobacco. D. Medication.
10. How does the author develop the seventh paragraph
A. By stating the result of some research.
B. By offering the reasons for some research.
C. By explaining the process of some research.
D. By providing the methods of some research.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To emphasize the importance of stopping smoking.
B. To explain how smoking influences people’s health.
C. To analyze the major harmful elements tobacco contains.
D. To discuss some approaches to helping people give up smoking.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章通過分析尼古丁成癮性和多種戒煙方法，結合研究案例與社會行動，探討了幫助吸煙者戒煙的可行途徑。
【8題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第一段中“That is because most of them started the habit as teenagers and because tobacco contains nicotine. “Nicotine is a highly addictive, very powerful drug,” said Dr. Kimberly Horn (這是因為大多數人從青少年時期就開始養成這個習慣，而且煙草中含有尼古丁。“尼古丁是一種極易上癮、效力極強的藥物，”Kimberly Horn博士說道)”可知，戒煙困難的原因是尼古丁的高度成癮性。故選D項。
【9題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段中“Dr. Horn said teens are likely to use more than one form of tobacco. It could be cigarettes, small cigars, or smokeless tobacco. (Horn博士指出，青少年往往會同時使用多種煙草制品，可能是香煙、小雪茄，也可能是無煙煙草)”和第五段中“Behavior therapy and medication and products that reduce nicotine desire like gum and nicotine patches (貼片) might help. (行為療法、藥物治療，以及像口香糖和尼古丁貼片這類能緩解尼古丁渴望的產品都可能有所幫助)”可知，戒煙輔助手段包括口香糖、尼古丁貼片、行為療法、藥物治療，無煙煙草是需戒除的成癮品，而非戒煙工具。故選C項。
【10題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第七段中““We know that medication works and that counsel works, but they work much better together than either one alone,” Rigotti said. Seventy percent of smokers in that program were still smoke-free six months after leaving the hospital. (Rigotti表示：“我們知道藥物治療有效，咨詢輔導也有效，但兩者結合使用的效果要遠優于單獨使用其中任何一種方法。”數據顯示，參與該項目的吸煙者在出院六個月后，仍有70%的人成功保持無煙狀態)”可知，該段通過陳述“藥物+咨詢”聯合療法的結果來發展段落。故選A項。
【11題詳解】
推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是第三段中“There is no one technique for quitting that works for everyone. (世界上沒有一種放之四海而皆準的戒煙方法)”可知，文章第一、二段先說明戒煙難點，第三至七段列舉多種戒煙方法，最后一段延伸社會行動，主體圍繞戒煙方法展開。因此，文章的目的是探討幫助人們戒煙的方法。故選D項。
D
Artificial plants are filling up our offices, restaurants, and homes. However, research consistently shows that experiencing real nature, from having houseplants to gardening, has many mental health benefits that are significantly reduced in the case of artificial experiences of nature.
Philosophers long ago identified an unexpected pleasure of natural beings. They satisfy the human desire to understand. Aristotle thought that asking “why” can lead to one of the greatest human delights — knowing the world around us. With real nature, we can receive answers that make silent beings understandable, from plants to sea urchins and sponges. Answers to questions like, “Why does my plant have blossoms ” and “Why does it get brown spots ” teach us something about the identity of these living beings — what is good and bad for them.
This pleasure disappears in the case of artificial plants. The only answer one can hope to receive when asking “why” is something about the intention of their designer, like that they wanted to give it the appearance of blossoming, or make it pass more realistically for a real plant. In this case, asking “why” leads us back to ourselves.
Receiving answers to our “whys” for a natural plant allows us to care. We can learn to improve the real plant’s health: water it, make sure it has enough light, and so on. This brings the joy of helping something grow for its own benefit — the pleasure of blooms, green leaves, and the growth along with the sadness of failing to do so.
Thinking of plants as lives that serve their own purposes opens up a different way of understanding our connection to them. This connection brings us joy and inspires us to care for them. After all, who truly cares about an artificial plant
12. What does the underlined word “Artificial” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Man-made. B. Similar.
C. Basic. D. Realistic.
13. Which of the following statement may philosophers agree with
A. Reasoning ability is the only way to observe nature.
B. Observing nature beings may bring happiness to humans.
C. The more questions we ask, the less delighted we will feel.
D. Humans has no desire to understand things around themselves.
14. How can we help a plant grow well
A. By asking many “whys”. B. By connecting it to humans.
C. By caring for it. D. By making it more realistic.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards artificial plants
A. Uncaring. B. Supportive.
C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇議論文。主要介紹的是真實自然對心理健康的重要性，以及人工植物無法替代的真實生命帶來的理解與關懷體驗。
【12題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據第一段“However, research consistently shows that experiencing real nature, from having houseplants to gardening, has many mental health benefits that are significantly reduced in the case of artificial experiences of nature.(然而，研究一致表明，體驗真正的自然，從種植室內植物到園藝，對心理健康有諸多益處，而在體驗 artificial 自然的情況下，這些益處會顯著減少)”，這里將 “real nature（真正的自然）” 與 “artificial experiences of nature” 相對比，可推測 “artificial” 與 “real（真實的）” 意思相反，意為 “人造的”。故選A。
【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第二段“Philosophers long ago identified an unexpected pleasure of natural beings. They satisfy the human desire to understand.(很久以前，哲學家們就發現了自然生物帶來的一種意想不到的快樂。它們滿足了人類的求知欲)” 可知，哲學家們可能認同觀察自然生物可能會給人類帶來快樂。故選B。
【14題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第四段“Receiving answers to our “whys” for a natural plant allows us to care. We can learn to improve the real plant’s health: water it, make sure it has enough light, and so on.（得到關于自然植物的“為什么”的答案能讓我們去關愛。我們可以學會改善植物的健康狀況：給它澆水，確保它有足夠的光照等等)” 可知，通過關愛植物，如澆水、保證光照等，我們可以幫助植物長得好。故選C。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。文章多處強調了真植物能帶來諸多精神益處，如滿足求知欲、帶來關愛生命的快樂等，而人工植物無法提供這些。再根據第三段 “This pleasure disappears in the case of artificial plants.(這種快樂在人工植物的情況下消失了)”由此可推斷作者對人工植物持不認可的態度。故選D。

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
It was the day of the big cross-country run Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路線)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊惱). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意：
1. 續寫詞數應為150左右;
2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally.

I may not be a “bad” runner, but I am slow. The farthest I have ever run is 6 km and it happened because I was going to a pub at the other end. When you first start running, people get you excited about experiencing the “runner’s high”, that magical sense of extreme excitement you get from really pushing your body. I’ve never run fast enough, or far enough, to get close to that extraordinary phenomenon, but what I expect to get from running is the “runner’s smugness” — a feeling of self-satisfaction.
I had tried to become a runner before, downloading the Couch to 5K app. I thought maybe this was something that could help my anxiety, too. But it didn’t stick. It felt impossible to run for a whole minute. Plus, there were just too many other, less horrible-feeling things I could be doing.
That changed with COVID-19 lockdowns. Suddenly, I had too much time and increasing anxiety that I needed to get on top of it. So I reopened the app and started running again. Over time, I got better. I could run for a minute, no problem. Then three, then five, and then eight. More importantly, I’ve noticed that running reduces my anxiety. On a particularly anxious day, running can help me get out of my head or, at the very least, give me something else to do for half an hour.
I’ve been running now for four years. Unexpectedly, I finally reached the 5 km mark. It was slow. I certainly stopped several times. I got home and collapsed straight into an armchair. And so there lies the smugness: I did something. I achieved my running goal. A wave of pride filled me. I managed to put on my sneakers and running outfit, leave the house for 30 minutes and go for a run.
For me, running isn’t about the “runner’s high”. It’s about the small, everyday achievement of doing something. I know every small step will make me feel better in the long run. Feeling smug about these little wins is enough.
4. What did the author hope to gain from running
A. The “runner’s high”. B. The “runner’s smugness”.
C. A sense of extreme excitement. D. A feeling of self-dissatisfaction.
5. Why did the author start running again during the COVID-19 lockdowns
A. To test an app. B. To connect with partners.
C. To reduce anxiety. D. To challenge her limits.
6. How did the author feel after reaching 5km mark
A. Embarrassed. B. Upset. C. Fascinated. D. Proud.
7. What does the author find most valuable about running
A. Less is more.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. A good beginning is half the battle.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
C
It’s no secret that any type of tobacco (煙草) use is not healthy. But for most people, it is hard to quit. That is because most of them started the habit as teenagers and because tobacco contains nicotine. “Nicotine is a highly addictive, very powerful drug,” said Dr. Kimberly Horn, Associate Dean of Research at the George Washington University Milken School of Public Health.
Dr. Horn said teens are likely to use more than one form of tobacco. It could be cigarettes, small cigars, or smokeless tobacco. And teens who smoke are likely to use electronic cigarettes, which also deliver nicotine.
There is no one technique for quitting that works for everyone. Some turn to e-cigarettes for help. Cici, one of the smokers participating in the program, is hoping electronic cigarettes can help her kick the habit.
“When I tried it for the first time, I said, ‘Oh, that’s almost as good as smoking,’” she said. “And then I realized there were so many benefits, and I realized it was better than smoking.”
Studies show electronic devices work for some people, but not for others. Behavior therapy and medication and products that reduce nicotine desire like gum and nicotine patches (貼片) might help.
Dr. Nancy Rigotti at Massachusetts General Hospital and other researchers designed a program to help smokers quit while they were in the hospital and stay smoke-free after they were discharged (獲準出院).
Some patients were given a nicotine patch or medication and counsel in the hospital, with follow-up support after they left. “We know that medication works and that counsel works, but they work much better together than either one alone,” Rigotti said. Seventy percent of smokers in that program were still smoke-free six months after leaving the hospital.
The U.S. government and private companies have been running anti-smoking campaigns since 1964 when the U.S. Surgeon General produced his first report on smoking and health. Since then, there have been reports on how smoking affects women, young people and various diseases, including diabetes and cancer.
8. Why is it hard to quit smoking
A. Smoking can help people feel energetic quickly.
B. There are too many forms of tobacco.
C. Smoking can comfort one who is annoyed.
D. Nicotine in tobacco is extremely addictive.
9. Which may be useless for people wanting to quit smoking
A. Gum and nicotine patches. B. Behavioral therapy.
C. Smokeless tobacco. D. Medication.
10. How does the author develop the seventh paragraph
A. By stating the result of some research.
B. By offering the reasons for some research.
C. By explaining the process of some research.
D. By providing the methods of some research.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To emphasize the importance of stopping smoking.
B. To explain how smoking influences people’s health.
C. To analyze the major harmful elements tobacco contains.
D. To discuss some approaches to helping people give up smoking.
D
Artificial plants are filling up our offices, restaurants, and homes. However, research consistently shows that experiencing real nature, from having houseplants to gardening, has many mental health benefits that are significantly reduced in the case of artificial experiences of nature.
Philosophers long ago identified an unexpected pleasure of natural beings. They satisfy the human desire to understand. Aristotle thought that asking “why” can lead to one of the greatest human delights — knowing the world around us. With real nature, we can receive answers that make silent beings understandable, from plants to sea urchins and sponges. Answers to questions like, “Why does my plant have blossoms ” and “Why does it get brown spots ” teach us something about the identity of these living beings — what is good and bad for them.
This pleasure disappears in the case of artificial plants. The only answer one can hope to receive when asking “why” is something about the intention of their designer, like that they wanted to give it the appearance of blossoming, or make it pass more realistically for a real plant. In this case, asking “why” leads us back to ourselves.
Receiving answers to our “whys” for a natural plant allows us to care. We can learn to improve the real plant’s health: water it, make sure it has enough light, and so on. This brings the joy of helping something grow for its own benefit — the pleasure of blooms, green leaves, and the growth along with the sadness of failing to do so.
Thinking of plants as lives that serve their own purposes opens up a different way of understanding our connection to them. This connection brings us joy and inspires us to care for them. After all, who truly cares about an artificial plant
12. What does the underlined word “Artificial” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Man-made. B. Similar.
C Basic. D. Realistic.
13. Which of the following statement may philosophers agree with
A. Reasoning ability is the only way to observe nature.
B. Observing nature beings may bring happiness to humans.
C. The more questions we ask, the less delighted we will feel.
D. Humans has no desire to understand things around themselves.
14. How can we help a plant grow well
A. By asking many “whys”. B. By connecting it to humans.
C. By caring for it. D. By making it more realistic.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路線)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊惱). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
