Nowadays, rural tourism with colorful ways of having fun is favored by more and more people in China,
which not only meets their different consumption demands, but also puts new energy into rural development. Here

For some folks, hiking is an activity done for a couple of miles at a time. But for others, it is a lifestyle. Those
who hike the Pacific Crest Trail（PCT） fall into the latter. The PCT is 2,650 miles. Along the way, hikers walk
through the desert, up mountains and then cross seven national parks. It is a tough journey with a low completion
rate. Just 14% of all hikers attempting a “thru-hike” have succeeded in finishing the PCT.
The hike’s reputation is what makes Pa’at’s completion of the journey more extraordinary. The hiker known as
Pa’at, an old man, finished the last bit of the PCT with two younger hikers, Auti and Chris. They celebrated Pa’at’s
success via an online post. They wrote, “Not many people can say they’ve finished such an amazing feat, especially
not at 71!”
Pa’at approached the trail-end marker and touched it, amazed that he had made it to the end. He said, “I know
there were different troubles that I needed to overcome, but I had confidence in myself before I set off.” And then
he sang, “I’ve been waiting... such a long time. Walking such a long way. Such a long way... just to be here.”
For anyone who has ever dreamed of hiking the PCT, Pa’at’s feat is proof that they aren’t too late. “I’ve
wanted to walk this trail for a long time,” someone posted online, “but now I know even if I don’t get it in my
twenties or thirties, I can still try again. Of course, I can challenge what I lacked courage to do in the past.”
Auti and Chris met Pa’at a few days before finishing. They said, “Pa’at is one of those people you instantly
feel like you’ve known a lifetime. He has a heart of gold, the kindest soul, and unmatched optimism and courage.
We both thank him for being such an inspiration to us.”
4. How does the author begin the text?
A. By quoting a saying. B. By giving an example.
C. By making an assumption. D. By drawing a comparison.
5. Which word can best describe Pa’at’s finishing the PCT?
A. Expected. B. Effortless. C. Troublesome. D. Unbelievable.6. What can we conclude from paragraph 4?
A. History is a guide. B. Age is just a number.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Time is a thief that never leaves empty-handed.
7. What kind of role is Pa’at in the eyes of Auti and Chris?
A. A beginner. B. A stranger. C. An example. D. An opponent.
C
A recent study in the journal Current Biology found that people danced 12% more when very low frequency
bass (低音) was played. Scientists wanted to see what factors of music make us want to dance. “We look at things
like what kinds of rhythms make us really drawn in and want to move more,” said Daniel Cameron, a neuroscientist
and the lead author of the study.
Volunteers were led into a lab that was changed into an electronic dance music concert, with live music
performed for them, who were equipped with headband s that had a motion capture sensor. The lab had special
speakers that could play a very low frequency bass, undetectable to the human ear. The set lasted about an hour.
Researchers introduced the very low bass every 2.5 minutes and found that the concertgoers moved more when the
speakers were on — even though they couldn’t hear it.
Cameron thinks that our vestibular (前庭的) system can help explain the reason. “It’s the inner-ear structures
that give us a sense of where our head is in space,” he says. “That system is sensitive to low-frequency stimulation,
especially if it’s loud.”
Some people hear music and can’t help but move, whether there are low, silent bass frequencies or not. So
why do humans dance? “It’s hard to test this, but there has been some work on why we may have evolved this way.
We know that moving together in synchrony (同步) when we’re making music together and dancing together leads
to social bonding. We feel better about the people we’re with. We feel more connected with them,” Cameron says.
“So you can imagine this has potential advantages for groups throughout the long history of our species.”
Evolution aside, Cameron finds value in knowing his study has uncovered just one of the ingredients for what
makes us want to dance a little bit more.
8. What does Cameron’s research focus on?
.
A The popularity of dancing among people. B. The evolutionary reasons why humans dance.
C. The musical elements that encourage dancing. D. The little effect of low frequency bass on dancers.
9. What can we learn about the research setup described in paragraph 2?
A. Low frequency bass was played regularly. B. Participants tracked their own movements.
C. The dance music was performed in a live concert. D. The human speakers performed for an entire hour.
10. Why might humans have evolved to dance according to Cameron?A. To inspire imagination. B. To promote communication.
C. To create work opportunities. D. To stimulate the body’s potential.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Science of Dance B. The Benefit Behind Dancing
C. The Role of Rhythms in Music D. The Evolution of the Musical System
D
In 2021, a wildfire bloomed in the Sonoran Desert in southwestern Arizona. By June 7, winds had blown the
wildfire east-northeast into the Pinal Mountains, in the Tonto’s southern reaches. The fire rose quickly, climbing over
cliffs (悬崖) and sweeping across vast jungles. When the fire hit the tops of mountains with pine forests, it consumed
them as well.
The Telegraph Fire, as it’s now called, grew very intense, creating its own wind as its heat rose, pulling air in
from the edges. On the fifth day, the fire neared the city of Globe. By then, it had already destroyed a large area of
Globe, making it one of the most powerful wildfires in Arizona’s history, spanning approximately 700 square
kilometers of land. But the fire would not swallow Globe. Instead, on a ridge, the Telegraph Fire encountered a
protective bulwark, remains of a previous great fire.
According to ecologist Kit O’Connor, the Telegraph Fire shifted from a powerful fire, which was killing roughly
60% to 70% of the trees it encountered, to a slow-moving ground fire that only killed about 1% of the trees it came
across. “Ultimately, the fire stopped approximately a kilometer away from a residential area on the outskirts of
Globe,” said Lata, a wildfire management expert. She notes that without the Pinal Fire, the Telegraph Fire would
have likely spread into the town and that they would have no means to prevent it.
The decision to allow the Pinal Fire to burn was guided by a new approach to wildfire management called
potential operational delineations (PODs). PODs categorize the landscape into zones where fires can potentially be
contained. These zones are determined before the fire season begins, using a combination of AI and local expertise.
A PODs network can assist land managers in identifying opportunities to exploit wildfires that light under manageable
conditions. The goal is that, if subsequent fires break out under extreme conditions, there will be fewer bushes
available to feed their great power.
12. What does paragraph 1 mainly describe about the wildfire?
A. Its extension. B. Its origin. C. Its duration. D. Its management.
13. What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A water source. B. A defensive wall.
C. A type of vegetation. D. A fire-fighting technique.
14. What is Lata’s attitude to the Pinal Fire?A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious. D. Supportive.
15. What is the main purpose of PODs in wildfire management?
A. To predict wildfire occurrences. B. To reduce fuel for future wildfires.
C. To help land managers put out wildfires. D. To create landscapes against potential wildfires.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Living in a harmonious family with my sister, Julia, and my brother, Eric, I felt more than happy. We grew up
under the guidance of our parents. Mom was a teacher, while Dad was a doctor. They were both busy working and
living. I was impressed by some of their creative parenting methods.
In our childhood, when Mom discovered that one of us had broken something valuable, she would gather three
of us together. Her way of determining who really did it was having us line up, tallest to shortest, and said, “Let’s
play a truth game.” She would take out a small box containing different colored slips of paper. Each of us had to
draw a slip and then answer the question on it. Through our answers, she could tell who was lying. This method
was both fun and effective, and we enjoyed participating. As for Dad, he created a “Honesty Jar”. If we told the
truth, we would get a token (代币) to place in the jar. At the end of the month, we could exchange the tokens for
treats as a reward for honesty. In our eyes, our parents were like detectives. They were so intelligent that anything
bad we did could be found out.
One day, my parents sent Julia, Eric and me to clean up the garage, which they would have us do from time to
time. Julia found a pair of skates in the garage and started skating around, which annoyed Eric, who was really
trying to work and clean the garage.
“Get to work, Julia. We are busy!” Eric shouted. However, he was ignored, which, in his mind, shouldn’t be
the response from his little sister. Then Eric picked up a broom, one of those big industrial brooms with heavy wide
tops. He lightly tapped Julia with it, hoping to get her attention. Unexpectedly, Julia lost her balance and fell,
hurting her face. Eric suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. What should he do?
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；

Then Julia ran to Dad as soon as possible.
