My three grandchildren grew up, listening to someone read and learning to read.They discovered Jeanne
Birdsall, Ben Hatke,Sara Penny packer and Rick Riordan. I read and loved—many of the books. Often, I was
reminded of my running story.
,
I started running when my older daughter was in primary school. During those early days she made her
disrespect for running clear. Later she did run. She ran throughout high school and had been running ever since. We
often ran together. At first, I slowed down for her. But very soon, her pace improved, and she was slowing down for
me.
Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren. At first,adults-parents,grandparents and teachers-led the
way. Then the kids learned to read, and soon they were mere specks in the distance, gulping down books we’d
never heard of, referring to series we’d never come across.
Early on, I began preparing myself for the inevitable. The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed, it
ended,in the case of my granddaughter. She and her mother still read together, but mostly she read on her own. My
grandsons also read like they breathed-in the car, at the table, while walking from the parking lot to the ball field
and back again, eyes on their books.
I trailed behind them this summer as they collected a heaping pile of books from the library. They sustained
them through ten days in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. The night before our flight home, each
of them were read, some more than once.
Recently, I picked up a book once owned by a child who was now these boys’ uncle. I began reading aloud
during a moment of wild enjoyment, and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch, listening to
narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.

Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets — this is what many
youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.
To them, Citywalk means “roaming around the city” on foot. Participants can follow a distinctive urban route,
soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging
in authentic local snacks.
Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people, or simply a leisurely stroll for one or two to
explore new areas, sticking to the key point: avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more inclusive
experience of the places you visit. Besides interacting with a city, Citywalk provides young people with a new
social scene, where they who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends.
In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-
tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture
researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi, a young entrepreneur in Changsha, recently launched
第3页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for
visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. Her Changsha route features more offbeat sights like historical architecture
from the 19th century, artsy old alleys, and even a stop-off to sample the local spicy crayfish specialty.
Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon, it is offering a positive change to urban travelers as
they can better choose the experiences based on their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an
opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with
ever-changing market demands.
8. Why do young people choose Citywalk?
.
A To enjoy a guided tour.
B. To cut down expenses.
C. To dig deeper into a city.
D. To make new friends.
9. What is the most notable feature about Citywalk?
A. Doing sightseeing on foot. B. Avoiding hot scenic spots.
C. Taking a local tour guide. D. Keeping a fixed urban route.
10. What might Xiao Yiyi be?
A. A tour guide B. A culture researcher.
C. A Citywalk enthusiast. D. An event organizer.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the Citywalk trend?
A. Favorable. B. Dismissive C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

Before the year has even come to a close, climate experts are certain that 2023 will be the hottest year in
recorded history.
On Dec.6, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) — part of the European Union's space program—
revealed that this year's average global temperatures have been 2.6 F (1.46 C) higher than temperatures in
preindustrial times and 0.2 F (0.13 C) higher than January to November in 2016. These “extraordinary”
temperatures mean that 2023will be “the warmest year in recorded history,” C3S deputy director Samantha Burgess
said in a statement.
The researchers note that this year's record heat was partly caused by the latest El Nino event — a
phenomenon where warmer water near the equator triggers warmer global air temperatures — that began in June.
Some other experts have suggested that the January2022 eruption of Tonga's underwater volcano, which pumped
record levels of water vapor into the atmosphere, may also be partly responsible.
第4页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Despite these factors, the major cause of climbing temperatures is global warming caused by runaway
greenhouse gas emissions, which, noted in a C3S statement, have trapped more than 25 billion atomic bombs'
worth of energy in our atmosphere over the last 50 years. And still worse, the global carbon emissions have reached
a new high this year, according to scientists at the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties
(COP28) On Dec 4.
The effects of global warming are becoming more obvious. In 2023, research revealed that climate change is
causing major US cities to sink and more than half of the world's largest lakes and reservoirs to shrink. Studies also
predicted that the Gulf Stream, which plays a vital role in ocean circulation, could collapse by as early as 2025, and
that rising sea levels could swamp the U S coastline by 2050.
However, scientists say that we still have time to prevent further disaster. Leading climate change expert
Michael Mann, from the University of Pennsylvania, recently wrote that “we can still stop the worst effects of
climate change” if we stop emitting greenhouse gases as soon as possible.
12. What's the purpose of the text?
A. To report the recorded hottest year.
B. To present findings of a research.
C. To analyze the causes of climate change.
D. To warn of the coming natural disaster.
13. Which is the main factor in causing the warmest weather in 2023?
A. Eruption of an underwater volcano.
B. Greenhouse gas emissions.
C. Collapse of the Gulf Stream.
D. The latest El Nino event.
14. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Scientists' predictions of the future.
B. The threat of rising sea levels to the U.S.
C. The effects of climate change.
D. Different opinions on global warming.
15. How does Michael Mann feel about the present situation?
A. Confused. B. Worried. C. Pessimistic. D. Hopeful.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
From an early age, Patti Wilson was told that she was an epileptic (癫痫患者). However, she was a lively and
enthusiastic girl, looking at her illness as simply “an inconvenience”. She never focused on what she had lost, but
on what she had left. One day, Patti said to her father, who was a morning jogger, “Daddy, I’d really love to run
with you every day, but I’m afraid I’ll have an epileptic fit.”
Her father told her, “Don’t worry, my girl. I know how to handle it! Let’s start running then!”
It was a wonderful experience for the father and daughter to run together every day. After a few weeks, the
ambitious girl told her father, “Daddy, What I’d really love to do is to break the world’s long-distance running
record for women.” The father checked the Guinness Book of World Records and found that the farthest any
woman had run was 80miles.
That year, she completed her run to San Francisco, which is a distance of 400 miles. She was wearing a T-
shirt, reading, “I Love Epileptics”. Her father ran every mile at her side, and her mom, a nurse, followed in a motor
home behind them in case anything went wrong. But nothing happened at all while she was running.
As a senior high school student, Patti announced that she was determined to run from her hometown up to the
White House, which is a distance of more than 3000 miles away. Her classmates got behind her. They built a giant
poster that read, “Run, Patti, Run!” This has since become her motto and the title of a book she later has written.
注意：
1.续写的词数应为150左右；
