Recently, an 84-year-old lady from Huanggang City, central China’s Hubei Province successfully
completed a 3,000-meter skydiving challenge at a base in Jingmen City of the province.
At her age, Tao Xidi stays in good health and enjoys staying current with new trends. The inspiration to
take on a skydiving challenge came to her after she read about a 102-year-old foreign woman who had completed
one. Tao’s 63-year-old daughter, an outdoor sports enthusiast, had already done a skydiving challenge before her
mother.
The daughter, a retired nurse surnamed Guo, fully supported her mother’s idea and registered her at a base
in Jingmen. “I have a good understanding of extreme sports, and I believe my mother can successfully complete
the challenge. I want to help her realize her dream,” said Guo.
On the day of the challenge, Guo drove her mother to the base. Tao was very excited during the journey.
Upon reaching the base, Tao signed an agreement and confirmed her good health. Following adequate training and
preparation, Tao boarded the airplane with two other tourists and her coach. As the plane ascended to 3,000
meters, Tao flashed a peace sign in front of the camera. Under the guidance of her coach, Tao jumped from the
airplane. At 1,500 meters above the ground,
the parachute opened. Tao remained calm throughout the process. Seven minutes after the parachute
opened, Tao touched down on the ground. “I did it! It was fun! I achieved my dream,” Tao said proudly.

Global adult diabetes (糖尿病) cases have doubled to more than 800 million during the past three decades,
far exceeding previous estimates, according to new research. A groundbreaking study published in The Lancet this
week reveals a healthcare crisis, with more than half of adults over the age of 30 who have diabetes going
untreated. Researchers highlighted the need for better diabetes screening and treatment in low-and middle-income
countries, which have seen the sharpest rise in cases since 1990.
It noted that four nations accounted for more than half of global diabetes cases, India having the most with
212 million cases, followed by China with 148 million, the US with 42 million, and Pakistan with 36 million.
Previous WHO (the World Health Organization) estimates had said the total number of global diabetes cases
would be 422 million. Pacific island nations, along with parts of the Caribbean, Middle East, and North Africa,
reported the highest diabetes rates globally, exceeding 25 percent of adults. Among wealthy Western nations, the
US leads with 12.5 percent, followed by the UK with 8.8 percent.
While the number of diabetes cases has risen sharply, treatment rates in some regions have remained
unsatisfactory, the authors noted, even as some higher-income countries have made significant progress.
Senior author Majid Ezzati, a professor at Imperial College London, said, “This is especially concerning as
people with diabetes tend to be younger in low-income countries and, in the absence of effective treatment, are at
the risk of life-long complications (并发症).” The study provides the first worldwide assessment of diabetes
trends, drawing from data of more than 1,000 studies involving more than 140 million adults.
........
4．What is Majid Ezzati’s attitude toward the current treatment of diabetes in the low-income countries?
A．Worried. B．Optimistic. C．Doubtful. D．Tolerant.(2024上·山西省部分学校高三模拟试题)
In rural South Africa, 16 teams of women, all of us over 50 years old, participated in this inaugural (开幕
的) event — the Grannies International Football Tournament. It was 13 years in the making, built on dreams and a
friendship that crosses continents.
The organizer, Beka Ntsanwisi — a well-known community activist and cancer survivor — founded the
original team of soccer-playing grandmothers aged 40 to 80, some 15 years ago, to improve their health. At first
the locals laughed at them and told them they belonged at home caring for their grandchildren. But a team doctor
recorded results from their regular exercise: improved mobility, lowered blood pressure and better digestion.
In 2010, the international spotlight landed the team an invitation to travel and play in a tournament in
Massachusetts — from yours truly. Like the Grannies, I found soccer later in life and my Lexington,
Massachusetts teammates are among my best friends. Beka replied to my invitation without hesitation: “We will
come, my sister.” In July 2010, 15 Grannies streamed through the Boston airport. They wowed (博得称赞) us
with their dancing on the sidelines of the field and their enthusiasm for life. And during that visit, Beka
announced, “Before I die, I want to host a Grannies World Cup.”
In March, 2023, Beka’s 13-year wish to host a Grannies international tournament was finally and joyfully
met. The tournament, held in the town of Nkowankowa, was intense as France, Zambia, three South African
teams, and all three U. S. teams entered the quarterfinals on the fourth and final day. My team would settle for
second place, but the U. S. Breakers, also from Massachusetts, held the 3-foot-tall trophy (奖杯) in the air. The
goalie (守门员) presented the trophy to Beka and the host Grannies team, without whom this event would never
have taken place. We know Beka is the true champion.
For me, the Grannies tournament was an extraordinary gift, an experience I will never forget. For all of us,
we hold on to our memories of bonding with, our soccer sisters.
1．What can be implied from paragraph 1?
A．It took long to make the tournament a reality.
B．The tournament aims to help grannies make friends.
C．These women’s teams consist of professional football players.
D．The tournament caused a stir in the international football community.
2．What can we learn about the original team founded by Beka?
A．It was 13 years in the making. B．It received support from the locals.
C．It promoted the wellbeing of its members. D．It consisted of middle aged women players.

The first and only fungus (真菌) on a global conservation group’s’ “25 Most Wanted List”, the big puma
fungus, which is actually quite small, has been found in the rainy mountains of Chile, almost 40 years after it was
first documented.
The mysterious species of fungi that lives underground in Chile’s Nahuelbuta Mountains had only ever
been found in the wild once. An expedition team from the Fungi Foundation in Chile set out for the temperate
forests of the Nahuelbutas in May 2023 to retrace the footsteps of Chilean mycologist (真菌学家) Norberto
Garrido, who discovered the big puma fungus and described it to Western science in 1988.
They timed the expedition to coincide with the exact dates in May that Garrido had hiked the mountains
more than 40 years earlier. “It’s possible that the reproductive parts of the big puma fungus — the mushroom —
are only fadingly visible above the soil on the same few days each year, which made the timing of the mission a
crucial factor,” said Claudia Bustamante, a mycologist and member of the expedition team.

31．What does the underlined phrase “coincide with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Put off. B．Correspond to. C．Work out. D．Deal with.

The sustainable village of the future, if Martina Waldemar and Joao Almeida have any say about it, will
have solar panels, earthen buildings, and a form of regenerative agriculture that copies nature to produce climate-
friendly food. The field hands who work there will earn wages well above what’s standard for this rural area of
Portugal. There will be coworking space with fast internet. “The life can be easy,” Mr. Almeida says of his
family’s project, which they call Gandum Village.
Buying local is one goal of a new project called Rural Revive, a private conservation effort where tourists
stay in fashionable, low-impact rooms — and the project is developing into a service center for a desert economy.
But the purpose of Rural Revive is not just economic. At the same time, it trains locals such as Elrico Bekeur in
horticulture (园艺) and enterprise.
Reinhold Mangundu began Rural Revive when he remembers sitting by a bonfire, listening to his father tell
him about the forest and birds of his birthplace in his country. Those village fires lit a desire in him to restore and
regenerate the earth and wildlife that he could only imagine. “I believe it’s time we start building beautiful stories
about the future and use those stories of the future to address our current problems,” he says.
........
21．What does Paragraph 1 focus on?
A．All jobs will be carried out remotely. B．A sustainable life can be enjoyable.
C．Climate is friendly to agriculture. D．Eco-friendly villages need high-paid farmers.

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our
phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a
three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco
Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like
short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched
last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to
artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120
submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short
stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider
experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
4. Why did BART start the kiosk program?
A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use.
C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs.
5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?
A. By popularity. B. By length.
C. By theme. D. By language.
6. What has Trost been doing recently?
A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers.
C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists.
7. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?
A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline.
C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase.

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public
debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa
Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents
and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such
wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond,
professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage
at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the
least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program
specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols
mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work
with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What
matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what
they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the
content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in
society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from
machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates
and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
1．Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A．To explain the use of a software program.
B．To show the cleverness of Project Debater.C．To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D．To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
2．What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Arguments. B．Doubts. C．Errors. D．Differences.
3．What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A．Create rules. B．Comprehend meaning.
C．Talk fluently. D．Identify difficult words.
4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B．The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C．Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D．Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.

When “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal
activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren’t there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film
stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:
“Thanks for not using real apes (猿)!”
The creative team behind “Apes” used motion-capture (动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals,
spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor’s performance and later processes it with
computer graphics to create a final image (图像). In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.
Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One
nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more
than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including “Water for Elephants,” “The Hangover
Part Ⅱ” and “Zookeeper,” have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been
treated properly.
In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried;
it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films
made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.
5．Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?
A．To see famous film stars.
B．To oppose wearing fur coats.
C．To raise money for animal protection.
D．To express thanks to some filmmakers.
6．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．The cost of making “Apes.”
B．The creation of digitalized apes.C．The publicity about “Apes.”
D．The performance of real apes.
7．What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Listing completely.
B．Directing professionally.
C．Promoting successfully.
D．Watching carefully.
8．What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?
A．They may be badly treated.
B．They should take further training.
C．They could be traded illegally
D．They would lose popularity.

Twenty-four hours and 26 minutes, without stopping to sleep: Nepal’s Phunjo Lama has just broken the
world record for the fastest ascent (上山) of Mount Everest by a woman.
Her journey from Everest Base Camp to the top took 14 hours and 31 minutes, then the descent (下山) from
Everest was another nine hours and 18 minutes. She departed Base Camp at 3:52 p. m. on May 23, arriving at the
top of the world at 6:23 a. m. the following morning.
Due to the limited climbing season and challenging conditions on Mount Everest, the window to reach the
top of the mountain is small. Every year, photos show long lines of hikers all waiting for their chance to make it to
the top, with “traffic jams” sometimes lasting for hours. Climbing overnight helped Lama bypass the big crowds.
According to Guinness World Records, which looks at the total time it takes to make the return trip from
Base Camp, Lama set her first Everest record in 2018, with a time of 39 hours and six minutes. That record was
broken in 2021 by Hong Kong native Ada Tsang in 25 hours and 50 minutes. This year was Lama’s second-ever
Everest ascent. Currently, the record for fastest ascent by a male climber is 10 hours and 56 minutes, set by Nepali
Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa in 2003.
Despite the achievement, Lama says she’s not crazy about pursing a record or being recognized by
Guinness. Lama lived most of her life at 4,500-5,000 metres above sea level. “Mountains are my playground and
my home,” she says. “A mountain never says that you are a woman and you are a man, which is why I like
mountains, because a mountain is always equal.”
And equality is part of Lama’s work. The mountaineering guide says currently her climbing clients are
about 75% male and 25% female, but she’d like that to become fifty-fifty someday. “I’m sure my dream will come
true, ” she says.
Lama has already summitted Alaska’s Denali, the tallest mountain in North America, and hopes to climb
K2 in Pakistan, the world’s second-highest peak.1．How long did it take Phunjo Lama to climb up Mount Everest the second time?
A．9 hours and 18 minutes. B．14 hours and 31 minutes.
C．24 hours and 26 minutes. D．39 hours and 6 minutes.
2．Why did Lama choose to climb overnight?
A．To avoid the traffic jams on the mountain. B．To set a new record for the fastest ascent.
C．To enjoy the beauty of the night sky. D．To challenge her physical limits.
3．What information can we get about Lama?
A．She is the first woman to climb Everest. B．She hates being recognized by Guinness.
C．She has failed to summit K2 in Pakistan. D．She likes mountains and pursues equality.
4．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Phunjo Lama Pursues Equality B．Phunjo Lama Sets Everest Record
C．The History of Climbing Mount Everest D．A Woman’s Dream to the Top of Everest

Many teenagers like to battle it out in the world of video games, but 15-year-old Ming Letian buries himself
in the world of numbers: sudoku (数独). From November 6 to 7, the 13th World Sudoku Cham- pionship (WSC),
attracting 248 contestants from 33 countries and regions, was held in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. The
Chinese under-18 sudoku team swept the individual medals and won the team silver. As a member of the national
team, Ming, the Senior 1 student from Dalian No 24 High School, Liaoning province, took the top position.
Like most people, Ming fell in love with sudoku after he first encounter the simple yet challenging game in
a newspaper when he was just 6 years old. With pencil in hand, he quickly filled in a grid (方格) of 9×9 boxes so
that every row, column and square contained the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition. From 2015 he learned
strategies and visualization techniques from teachers; then he took to the field.
“The joy of the game is discovering new ways to solve a problem,” said Ming. “When I filled in the last
squares, after an hour of thinking, I had a sense of achievement.” Solving a puzzle on a couch, however, is very
different from filling in grids at the World Championship. In competition, players need to complete a variety of
sudoku puzzles of different sizes, shapes and skill levels — easy, medium and hard. Every puzzle is timed, which
means that players have to finish them quickly and correctly.
Although we’re not all geniuses, millions of people are still addicted to this game. “Sudoku relies on logic,
not knowledge. You don’t have to know anything, basically, to do it. So why not sharpen your reasoning and give
it a shot?” wrote Will Shortz, crossword editor for a newspaper.
5．What was Ming Letian’s achievement at the WSC?
A．He won the team gold. B．He came in second place.
C．He won the bronze medal. D．He ranked first individually.
6．How did Ming Letian become interested in sudoku?
A．He was inspired by many other role models. B．He saw the game via media at a young age.C．He was satisfied with solving the puzzles. D．He learned about it from his math teacher.
7．What might be one of the challenges faced by players at the WSC?
A．Speed and accuracy are needed for each puzzle. B．Every puzzle examines higher-order thinking.
C．Pencils are not allowed to fill in the squares. D．They have to stand up long to finish the game.
8．What can be inferred from Will Shortz’s words?
A．Sudoku is mainly genius-focused. B．Sudoku is just knowledge-based.
C．Sudoku is beneficial to logical reasoning.D．Sudoku is the basis of mental growth.

On a clear sunny day on the Georgia coast, ecotour guide Rene Heidt leads her guests on her boat through a
narrow waterway. Unbroken grasses reach overhead, and there’s no building, power line, or cell tower in sight.
It’s a perfect location for visitors to view a nearby mudflat (泥滩), where roughly300,000 shorebirds, including the
roseate spoonbill and the whimbrel, come to eat, rest, and nest every year.
Heidt has had a 15-year career as an ecotour guide and much of what she shares on the tours comes from
her experiences. But more recently, the University of Georgia’s Coastal Awareness and Responsible Ecotourism
(CARE) certification (认证) program has been designed to support ecotour guides like Heidt, helping improve the
information they share with tourists. The program offers up-to-date educational material and training to ecotour
guides and provides certification that confirms their devotion to preserving the habitats.
While providing knowledge about Georgia’s natural resources, the CARE program also discusses how to
visit some sensitive areas responsibly. Now, when Heidt gives boating tours, she rows with a light touch, moving
almost silently across the water. When she shares facts about wildlife with her guests, she doesn’t speak louder
than whispers. Actually, it’s a skill Heidt must have perfected in her previous career. “The program changes the
way I give tours. It helps me to be more mindful of a boat’s influence on the very thing we are trying to teach
people about,” she recalled.
Getting trained through the CARE program also benefits Heidt’s business. According to Heidt, the program
allows her to learn more about this environment. And that’s knowledge she passes along to her guests. “It’s a
fantastic coast,” she says. “And it’s important to share its beauty with others to help them realize that it is worth
protecting.”
9．Why was the CARE program launched?
A．To offer the latest tour news. B．To qualify and recognize ecotour guides.
C．To give aid to local education. D．To share and publicize travel experience.
10．What may be the suggestion from the CARE program for visiting sensitive areas?
A．Reasonably arrange travel routes. B．Save as much wildlife as possible.
C．Leave as little impact as possible. D．Fully respect local cultural customs.
11．What is Heidt’s attitude towards the CARE program?
A．Doubtful. B．Tolerant. C．Uncertain. D．Favorable.12．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Tending to Sensitive Coastal Areas B．Reaching out to Ecotourism Supporters
C．Backing up Ecotourism in Georgia D．Initiating a CARE Certification Journey

fungi in a nearby forest. During that hike, two of the local participants found a group of about four mushrooms
that all matched the description of the big puma fungus.
The expedition team carefully collected the mushrooms, leaving the mycelium (菌丝体) in the ground, and
took the mushrooms to the Fungi Foundation’s Central Laboratory (FFCL). Although the mushrooms matched the
physical and microscopical description of the big puma fungus, it was via a DNA analysis that eventually the team
justified their conclusion.
“It was truly a unique moment when we managed to be in the right place at the right time to see the
mushrooms. These types of expeditions are essential to conservation efforts because an increasing number of
species are threatened. Understanding the biodiversity that exists and interacts within a specific area helps us
comprehend the ecosystem’s dynamics and its potential to adapt to ongoing changes,” said Daniela Torres, leader
of the expedition.
