A nine-year-old boy has set a new 5km parkrun world record for his age group. Louis Robinett, a member of
the Poole Runners junior athletics club, shaved 13 seconds off the previous world record, which was set in California
in 2017, after he crossed the line in 17 minutes and 40 seconds.
Louis, who broke the record at the Poole parkrun in Dorset on Saturday, said, “I’m on top of the world right
now. It’s a huge deal to break a world record. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and the team
at Poole Runners.”
Louis was accompanied on the parkrun by Dion Garner, a member of his athletics club, as all under-11s in the
5km event must run within arm’s length of an adult. Garner said of Louis’s achievement, “His natural talent,
combined with his dedication and spirit, is mind-blowing. He loves the sports and has really practiced a lot.” A
spokesman for Poole Runners said, “With his new world record, Louis has raised the bar for young athletes
everywhere. This isn’t just a win for Louis, it’s a new benchmark (标准) for youth sports, inspiring children all over
the world to aim higher.”
Parkrun was started by 13 friends as a weekly event in Bushy Park, southwest London, in 2004. By 2015
more than 80,000 people were gathering in parks around the world each Saturday to participate in a parkrun. Only
three years later about a quarter of a million people were taking part in parkruns each week, in 1,500 events spread

Libraries. They have that reassuring smell of well-read pages, are peaceful, have free Internet and, of course,
abundant books.
But guess what? There’s a new kind of library sweeping the nation — a tool library — and it’s just as cool,
but in all sorts of different ways.
It’s often said that the average electric drill is only used for 11 minutes in its entire lifetime. Granted, it
doesn’t take that long to drill a hole, but still — that’s crazy. Yet the majority of households have one, even though
DIY is actually a really infrequent activity for most people.
What if you could just borrow tools when you need them, and drop them back so that they can be used by
someone else all the time you’re not DIY-ing? Well, in some parts of Scotland, you now can. Membership-based tool
sharing services are popping up in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Linlithgow and Cumbernauld. They work just like
a normal library but instead of books, you can borrow a massive range of tools and equipment when you need them,
then drop them back when you’re done.
Zero Waste Scotland’s Andrew Pankhurst recently renovated (翻新) his house using the Stirling Tool Library.
He said, “It’s amazing. It had all the tools I was looking for, and some I didn’t even realize I needed.”
And that’s the beauty of a tool library. Borrow a tool, use it for one afternoon at a small amount of cost of
buying it and instead of it cluttering up your house gathering dust, it’s back off to a busy life all across town, week
in and week out.
The tools available to borrow are mainly received as donations. The tool library will then repair them if
needed and PAT test for safety ready to be borrowed and saved from going to landfill.
So next time you have a job to do around the house, why not borrow rather than buy?
28．What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．The electric drill is worth buying.
B．People dislike to use out-of-date tools.
C．Most of the tools aren’t often used at home.
D．DIY is a really frequent activity for most people.
29．What does Andrew Pankhurst think of the tool library?
A．Familiar.
B．Practical.
C．Essential.
D．Disappointing.
30．What do the underlined words “cluttering up” probably mean?
A．Clearing up.
B．Piling up.
C．Throwing out.
D．Breaking up.
31．What might be the best title for the text?
A．Borrowing Is the New Buying
B．Please Make a Donation Today
C．When in Doubt, Go to the Library
D．Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader

Hannah Huxford encountered the fry-stealing gull in Bridlington, a coastal town on the Yorkshire coast.
Huxford snapped the well-timed photo on her iPhone in 2011; it went viral soon after. A decade later, the fry-stealing
gull is appearing on billboards, as part of an advertising campaign for Google.
Researchers recently discovered that food may actually become more attractive to gulls when the birds
observe humans handling it first, according to a 2020 study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science.
Because the birds seem to be attracted to food items that they’ve watched humans touch, another of the
study’s authors, says that it’s even more important to properly throw food waste and snack wrappers in the trash.
“Our findings suggest that gulls are more likely to approach food that they have seen people drop or put down, so
they may associate areas where people are eating with an easy meal,” Dr. Laura Kelley said.
The scientists approached 74 herring gulls in coastal towns in Cornwall, tempting them with weighted bags of
fried potatoes. Only 19 gulls were curious or hungry enough to linger (逗留), allowing the scientists to place the bag
on the ground and retreat a short distance away, waiting in a crouched ( 蹲下) position to see if a gull would
approach.
Their experiments demonstrated that gulls were more cautious about approaching a tempting treat if there was
a person nearby who was watching them closely. However, the scientists also found that far fewer of the birds than
expected showed interest in investigating the food at all when being stared at.
In fact, people may be able to protect their lunches from gulls by avoiding areas where the birds tend to gather
and keeping a closer eye on their meals, she added. “Gulls have a bad reputation but, like all animals, they are just
trying to survive,” Goumas said. “We can try to alleviate the conflict we have with them by making changes in our
own behavior.”
32．Why does the author mention “the fry-stealing gull photo” in Paragraph 1?
A．To open up the topic.
B．To kid about the gull.
C．To tell us an episode.
D．To introduce the background.
33．What can we know about gulls from the scientists’ experiments?
A．They don’t like the food left over by humans.
B．They approach the treat when they are hungry.
C．They are interested in eating food with humans.
D．They probably won’t eat the treat when being watched.
34．What’s Goumas’s attitude to the action of the fry-stealing gull?
A．Conservative.
B．Sympathetic.
C．Skeptical.
D．Indifferent.
第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分，共10 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中
有两项为多余选项。
What’s Your preferred playback Speed?
Glen Powell, a Hollywood idol, likes 1x listening speed: “I want to hear people talk at a normal human rate.”
Bowen Yang, an American comedian, prefers his narration fast and loose. “You can round up to 2x”, though he
considers 1.8x the perfect pace. Both men appeared in an advertisement by Audible, an audiobook platform, which
featured various celebrities talking about the speed at which they listen to their chosen titles. 35 “I listened
to your judgmental ad on 2x speed,” one TikTok user said. Some claimed to feel “shamed” by the advertisement and
threatened to cancel their subscriptions.
36 . A recent survey found that 31% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 listen to audio at
playback speeds faster than 1x. The time-saving benefits can be enormous. 37 If you had a ten-hour
journey, you could listen to “Persuasion” in eight hours and 13 minutes at 1x speed. But, if you clicked 1.5x, you’d
hear all about Anne Elliott’s exploits in five and a half hours, leaving space for “Animal Farm” and “The Little
Prince”, with time to spare.
38 . The average person speaks at a rate of about 150 words per minute, but most brains are capable
of processing information faster than that, says Marcus Pearce, a cognitive scientist. Researchers looked at the test
scores of students who had watched lectures back at varying speeds and found that up to 1.5x there was not much of
a difference in performance, although scores started to decrease noticeably as playback speeds approached or
exceeded 2x.
For audio and video platforms, there is no downside to offering different playback options. The more books or
episodes a subscriber gets through, the better the advertising and sales revenues. But for listeners, the experience
differs greatly between 1x and 2x. audiobook narrators hold that there’s an art of pacing, tone and suspension to
reading aloud. 39 Rhetoric (修辞) often relies on rhythm and pauses for emphasis and meaning: few
actors race through the soliloquies in “Hamlet”, for instance. Yet for many, to speed or not to speed is no longer a
question.
A．A faster pace does not seem to affect listeners’ ability to concentrate.
B．If listeners speed that up too much, they’re losing that part of the performance.
C．It triggered fierce debate online for implying that those who make haste are weird.
D．YouTube claims that its viewers collectively save more than 900 years per day thanks to its fast-playback
feature.
E．The online argument points to the changing way in which audiences, particularly young ones, engage with
digital media.
F．Thus, while younger adults can watch videos at faster speeds without significant consequences, we advise
against older adults doing so
G．This may be especially important as age-related changes in cognition may necessitate adjustments to
instructional videos to optimize learning.

A Sea Story
About three years ago, something terrible happened to me. That was the day when it took only six hours to
break my body and soul. You think I am a very old man—but I am not. It took less than a single day to change my
hair from black to white.
One day, my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked going and got more
fish than others. All at once, the sky was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible
storm. A hug wave covered our boat and my younger brother fell into the sea. My elder brother put his mouth close
to my ear and cried out “Moskoe-strom!” The moment I heard the word I became very frightened. I knew what he
meant by that one word well enough.
With the wind and waves, we were going in the direction of the whirlpool. We were hopeless. Nothing could
save us. I felt sick, as if I was falling from a mountain top in a dream. We went round and round, nearer and nearer to
the horrible edge of the whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we were moving towards it. I began to think how amazing
a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature. Suddenly, we went over the
edge. I thought my life was over. But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe.
The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed, I saw
clearly that there were other objects in the whirlpool—trees and barrels. After a while, I became curious about the
whirlpool itself. I then made three important observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they
fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between
two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly. So I tied myself to a barrel to help me
float. I tried to make my brother understand, but he was too frightened and stayed in the heavy boat. Without
waiting, I jumped into the sea to try and escape.
Some time after I left the boat, with my brother in it, it was pulled into the bottom of the whirlpool. Soon after
that, the whirlpool became less wild. Then the sky was clear, the wind calmer, and the moon was shining. I was still
tied to the barrel and the waves soon carried me to an area where the other fishermen were. In the end, a boat picked
me up. I was very tired. The fishermen were my old friends, but they were unable to recognize me. (adapted from
Lesson 1, 480 words)
40．What were the three observations the storyteller made?
41．Why did the storyteller survive while his elder brother didn’t?
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The other fishermen couldn’t recognize me because my appearance had greatly changed after I struggled and
survived a whirlpool.
43．What lessons have you learnt from the story? Give your reasons. (about 40 words)
