friend Louise and I aredoing.If we make it,Louise and I will get on a plane to Vancouver and compete in one of theBMO Vancouver Marathon weekend races.We may not win medals,but fbr sure well have cakefor my seventy-fifth birthday at the finish line.The workout for big birthdays represents a big change for me.I used to hate birthdays,especially those milestone ones.No longer feeling young is horrible.As I approached my sixtiethbirthday,Louise suggested setting targets to mark milestone birthdays.44That way you are lookingforward to something,not dreading it,“she pointed out.By doing those expanding my world or demanding new skills,I feel myself growing,notshrinking.For my sixtieth,I got it into my head that I should do an Olympic distance triathlon（铁人三项赛），which turned out to be a real milestone.After over four hours on the course,I was lastamong the 95 competitors.But I was the oldest woman competing,so that made me first in myage category.Since then,Fve looked on the special days as a call fbr trying something different.For my sixty-fifth birthday,I went to run a half marathon.And I finished seven activities that tookme out of my comfort zone“at seventy.Im fortunate to have celebrated so many birthdays in good health and spirits,so whether Isucceed in running to Vancouver or not,Tm grateful for the opportunity.One thing Ive learned intaking up these challenges is that there are many possibilities for new adventures andachievements,even as we grow older.So do spend every day of every year with a definite end inview,which will release your energy and make you

about the nature of evolution including the suggestion that an animal species withgreater diversity in its line will produce more subspecies too.This assumption is not as obvious asyou might think at first.And it was finally found to be true for birds only a couple of years ago.Now,researchers from the University of Cambridge in the UK have shown that Darwin was righton this point for mammals（哺乳动物）,too.Apart from being an important contribution to our understanding of evolution in general,thefindings could also be useful in ongoing conservation efforts helping experts to figure outwhich species need to be protected in order to ensure their survival.“My research investigating the relationship between species and the variety of subspeciesproves that subspecies play a vital role in long-term evolutionary dynamics and in future evolutionof species,says biological anthropologist Laura van Holstein.There are three subspecies ofnorthern giraffe,for example,and 45 subspecies of the red fox the highest in the animalkingdom.36 different species of wild cats have been found and most of these are further dividedinto subspecies.Human beings,on the other hand,dont have any subspecies.To test Darwins assumption,van Holstein looked at a huge database of animal classifications,analysing the collected knowledge we have about mammal species and subspecies to look forpatterns.The data showed that habitat(land versus sea,for example)plays an important role insubspecies9 form and increase.The findings show that those living in the sea,or spending a lot oftime in the air are less affected by physical boundaries like mountains.The discoveries on subspecies habitat are particularly significant when it comes toconservation,because the habitats of so many animals are under threat from climate change andhuman activity,and these findings indicate that our actions really are having an effect on theprocess of evolution.28.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Charles Darwins claims have been proved recently.B.Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species.C.Charles Darwins assumption was right for any animal.D.Charles Darwin set up the foundation of evolution theory.29.What can we infer from Laura van Holsteins research?A.Humans will evolve faster.B.Wild cats5 subspecies are countless.C.The red fox needs immediate protection.D.Northern giraffes evolution is less active.30.Which of the following animals9 subspecies may be less affected?A.Dogs.B.Snakes.C.Monkeys.D.Sharks.31.Why are the discoveries on subspecies habitat important?A.Because they help solve the threat of climate change.B.Because they show human activity is bad for evolution.C.Because they tell the importance of conservation of habitats.D.Because they prove evolution is damaged by human actions.DA Space Age disaster of the commons is unfolding right under our nose-or,really,rightover our head.For more than half a century,humans have been casting objects into low-Earthorbit in ever growing numbers.And with few meaningful limitations on further launches,thegeneral attitude has been permissive:in orbit,it seems,there is always room for one more.After so many decades of the build-up of high-speed chaos in the form of spent rocket stages,low-Earth orbit is finally on the edge of becoming too crowded for comfort.And the problemtends to get much worse because of the rise of satellite“mega constellations（大星座）“requiringthousands of aircraft,such as SpaceXs Starlink.Starlink is but one of many similar projects.Another mega constellation from a company called OneWeb is already being stationed.AndAmazons Project Kuiper is seeking to create a mega constellation of up to 3,200 satellites in thenear future.The International Space Station regularly adjusts its orbit to avoid potentially risky debris（碎片）.Worse yet,there has been an increase in the threat of full-on collisions.Consider the February2009 run-in between a dead Russian satellite and a commercial aircraft,which produced a greatamount of debris.Finding ways to remove at least some of all that space rubbish should be a top global priority（优先），says Donald Kessler,a scientist for orbital debris research.In the late 1970s,he foretoldthe possibility of the Kessler conditions:as the mass of space trash increases,self-protectingrunaway cycle of debris-generating collisions can arise,making low-Earth orbit too risky tosupport most space activities.There is now agreement within the community that the debris environment has reached atipping point where debris would continue to increase even if all launches were stopped,“Kessler says.There are collisions taking place all the time-less noticeable and not in largenumbers,Kessler adds.32.What can be concluded from paragraph 1?A.Humans are facing a space collision disaster.B.General public are tolerant of the present situation in space.C.Nothing has been done in space management.D.Low-Earth orbit is in a high degree of order.33.Why is mega constellation mentioned in paragraph 2?A.To explain the cause of the space jam.B.To show the influence of the aircraft.C.To stress the popularity of the space race.D.To praise the efforts of famous companies.34.What is Kessler5s attitude towards the debris environment?A.Ambiguous.B.Worried.C.Doubtful.D.Tolerant.35.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A.Space Collisions Are UnavoidableB.Space Development Needs to StopC.Space Activities Are Out of ControlD.Space Rubbish Arouses Concerns第 二 节（共 5 小题；每小题2.5分，满 分 12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It is very common nowadays for people to complain about anxiety.The novel coronavirusoutbreak,as well as the pressure from day-to-day life,contributes to anxiety,which should not beunderestimated as it could lead to depression or other mental disorders.36As a matter of fact,keeping several plants to add some green in your home is a good way toease anxiety.37 Researchers from the University of Essex in England investigated thereason,finding out that the secret to why nature could help people to calm down is because of oneof its major colors:green.38 To people,green usually represents calm,peace,freshness,and safety,because to theancestors of human beings,green means food and water.This impression was rooted in humansminds during the evolution process,hence the feelings this color generates still have a great effecton people today.39 The photosynthesis（光合作用）of plants can absorb the carbon dioxide in the airand release oxygen.However,do not grow too many plants in the bedroom since photosynthesistakes place during the day,so when nighttime comes,plants will do the opposite by absorbingoxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.The best choice of plants to keep at home and in the office are pothos（石柑属）,luckybamboo,and cactus.Thats because they are easy to keep.40A.Different people have different reactions to green.B.Here are some practical ways to help you get relaxed.C.Some of them even produce colorful flowers as an extra gift.D.So,is there anything we can do to relieve some of that pressure?E.Green is a special color,as it is not cold nor warm in the color spectrum（光谱）.F.Green plants can not only help people ease their anxiety,but also clean the air for them.G.Studies show that people who like to exercise outdoors will have a mental health boost of 50percent.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第 一 节（共 15小题；每小题1 分，满 分
