Helen Clitheroe was 32 when she started doing the steeplechase (障礙賽跑). British Athletics encouraged her to try it because 2008 would be the first time women’s steeplechase was in the Olympics. She had never jumped over barriers before her thirties.
In 2010, she competed in both the 1,500m and steeplechase at the Commonwealth Games, which became a turning point. After a few injuries and falling out of love with the steeplechase a little bit, she talked with her coach John Nuttall about her options. They decided to attempt different challenges to focus on longer distances — the 5,000m and 10,000m.
In 2011, although they hadn’t planned to compete indoors that season, she was in excellent shape. She won the match in Glasgow, breaking Liz McColgan’s record. Then she set her personal best in the 3,000m at Birmingham.
Going into the European Athletics Indoor Championships, she was the fastest runner on paper, but she had come fourth twice before in these championships. Her coach and she discussed race strategy carefully. For the first time, she followed her coach’s advice exactly, staying near the front but not leading until the end. She had never trusted her finishing sprint (沖刺) before, but that day she did. Even though Russian runner Olesya Syreva was close behind, she won her first gold medal.
At 37, she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title. Many people had kept asking when she would retire, but this victory proved that older athletes could still succeed. She changed her training as she got older, being more careful with hard training sessions and taking more time to recover. As she says, as long as you take care of your body, you can still run fast. This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn’t limit anyone’s dreams in sports.
24．What motivated British Athletics to suggest the steeplechase to Helen
A．Her running speed.
B．Her jumping ability.
C．The popularity of the steeplechase.
D．The chance to join in the Olympics.
25．What can be inferred from Helen’s conversation with her coach
A．She wanted to retire. B．She lacked confidence.
C．She needed new challenges. D．She feared competition.
26．What made Helen successful in the final race according to paragraph 4
A．She read a lot of papers on running.
B．She copied one of the Russian runners.
C．She trained harder than any other runners.
D．She followed her coach’s race arrangements.
27．What message does the text mainly convey
A．Age is no barrier to success. B．Training methods vary with age.
C．Challenge is unavoidable in life. D．Success belongs to those with curiosity.
C
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction (預測), challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations (強度計算)for the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical (統計的) features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then ordered to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background sound in the Earth.
This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the capability to notably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with trustworthy earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
28．How does the AI predict earthquakes
A．By identifying data from the outer space.
B．By analyzing background sounds in the Earth.
C．By modeling data based on earthquake recordings.
D．By measuring changes in the database of earthquake recordings.
29．What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph3
A．The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B．The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C．The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D．The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.
30．What does the follow-up research focus on
A．Conducting tests in different locations.
B．Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C．Building more earthquake stations in Texas.
D．Enlarging the database to train AI algorithms.
31．Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A．Dependable but outdated. B．Effective but costly.
C．Capable and affordable. D．Advanced and promising.

Nowadays, handwriting seems to become less necessary, for young children learn to tap and touch screens before they have even learned to pick up a pencil or tie their shoelaces. Most of our written communication is done through texting on mobile phones or typing on a keyboard. And voice recognition software is becoming more and more advanced — making even keyboard unnecessary!
So, are handwriting skills important to your child Actually, handwriting is an exercise in eye-hand coordination (手眼協調), an important part of visual-motor (視覺運動) skills, which are connected with achievements in study. Scientists found that developing fine visual-motor skills in early childhood can lead to not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math in elementary school. It was also found that kids who fail to write neatly and efficiently are often accused of being lazy, and this may affect their behavior and self-worth. Moreover, a study showed that when a group of children were asked to come up with ideas for an article, the ones with better handwriting were more active and had quicker minds. In some ways, handwriting helps their brains’ development.
The first attempts at writing can be challenging for pre-school children — whose fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. But some skills to prepare for handwriting are simple to build at home and in preschool. Parents should provide lots of opportunities for kids to copy and draw shapes and simple pictures in early childhood before letters are introduced. Let your child copy your shapes in sand, or with chalk on a board before trying to draw the shapes on their own. Encourage your child to spend less time on electronic devices and more time on activities to improve eye-hand coordination.
Let’s face it — technology is certain to continue developing and more research is needed to find the best ways to teach handwriting to young children. But, there’s plenty of evidence that the handwriting practice can provide young children with a good start in developing skills needed for a healthy and successful journey in school.
32．According to Paragraph 1, handwriting is ______ .
A．easy to learn on a touch screen. B．used less for communication now.
C．more difficult than typewriting. D．totally replaced by voice recognition.
33．How does the author explain the benefits of handwriting
A．By showing some research findings.
B．By giving examples of the kids around him.
C．By giving some news reports on handwriting.
D．By providing evidence about outstanding pupils.
34．What does the author suggest parents do
A．Keep young children away from electronic devices.
B．Teach pre-school children to write letters with chalk.
C．Help children get ready for handwriting before school.
D．Encourage children to face writing challenges bravely.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．How can pre-school children learn handwriting skills
B．Should handwriting be taken seriously in children’s growth
C．How can handwriting affect children’s self-confidence
D．Should homework be done through handwriting or typewriting

Surviving the first shaking of an earthquake is just the beginning. The smaller shakes can present new dangers, from smaller shakes to damaged infrastructures (基礎設施). Here are some essential safety tips after an earthquake to help protect you and your loved ones.
Check for injuries. Right after the shaking stops, check yourself and the people around you for any hurt. 36 . If someone is badly hurt, call the emergency services. High-school students like us should know that first-aid knowledge like stopping the bleeding or treating small burns can be very important.
37 . Before going back into any buildings, carefully look around your area for damage. Look for cracks in walls, ceilings, and the base of the buildings that may show there are big problems with the buildings’ structure. If your home or workplace has signs of really bad damage, it’s safer to stay outside until experts can check it.
Check the services. 38 . If you find anything wrong, turn off the switches. If you smell gas, open the windows and doors, leave the building, and tell the authorities about the gas leak (泄漏). Remember, never use any electrical things when there might be a gas leak.
Get information from good sources. Information can change fast after an earthquake, so keep up with the news, warnings, and emergency instructions. Use a battery-powered radio or phone to listen for news. 39 .
Be ready for smaller shakes. After a big earthquake, smaller shakes are common and can cause more damage. These can happen minutes, hours, or even days after the first quake. 40 . If you’re inside, find a safe place like under a strong table and hold on firmly.
A．Give simple first-aid if needed
B．Look for damage to buildings
C．Be careful when enter any buildings
D．So it’s extremely important to stay careful
E．Some people wrongly think relying on memory is enough
F．Check the water, gas, and electricity lines for any problems
G．The news includes roads being closed, and warnings about smaller shakes

67．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 first week of Lily’s middle school. The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed. Lily, instead, walked alone, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids.
Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. Mr. Johnson told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Lily expected. She just wanted to be like other kids — running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Thinking of her pimply (長粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and sad.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began her writing and she found herself enjoying it. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each student’s work aloud. Lily thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class was about to end, fifteen students’ papers were still left unread, including Lily’s. Then, Mr. Johnson decided to ask these students to read their own paper themselves in front of the class next class.
注意：
1. 續寫詞數應為100個左右：
2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
The next day, when the Language Arts class began again, Lily felt nervous.

Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. Mr. Johnson told jokes as he talked

Fun was far beyond what Lily expected. She just wanted to be like other kids — running with
friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Thinking of her pimply (長粉刺的) face, she
felt hopeless and sad.參考答案

Personally, a low-carbon lifestyle means saving more energy and producing less waste. In daily life we can do something to reduce. First, it makes sense to turn off water and electricity when we don’t use them. Besides, using reusable products like cloth bags is a good way to reduce pollution. Finally, we can travel on foot if possible, which is both environmentally friendly and beneficial to health.
Every individual’s efforts count for a low-carbon society. Therefore, I appeal to you to take action now.
That’s all. Thank you!

The next day, when the Language Arts class began again, Lily felt nervous. She kept thinking about the moment when she would stand in front of the class and read her story. Mr. Johnson walked into the classroom, and said, “Today, those whose papers I didn’t read yesterday will have a chance to share their stories.” Lily’s heart beat faster. When it was her turn, she slowly stood up and walked to the front of the classroom. She could feel all eyes on her, which made her even more nervous.
After Lily finished her reading, all her classmates cheered for her. She was surprised and a little bit embarrassed. Mr. Johnson smiled and said, “Lily, your story is wonderful. You have a great imagination.” Lily felt a sense of pride and happiness. She realized that she didn’t need to be afraid of speaking in front of others. She also found that her classmates were very friendly and supportive. She knew that she could overcome her shyness and enjoy her middle school life.
