experience.The LeapAs a UK-based organization,it offers volunteer travel options in both group-structured and independent plans.The Leap creates amazing hands-on opportunities to travel while working

costs.WorkawayWorkaway encourages cultural exchange through work,from working on a farm in British Columbia to teaching art to children in Peru.Living expenses will be provided as long as young adults work there.This can be a good option to gain some new skills and see the world for free.Habitat for Humanity(HFH)This nonprofit organization offers full-year service positions at local habitat organizations across the US.In this program,participants can learn and develop new skills while serving a critical role in helping HFH build,create or improve homes for those in need.There is a small

organizers.D.College teachers.BTaking an end-of-season break sounds simple,right?You may think a carefree week spent on a beach is whats most desired.But actually most athletes would spend hours trying to convince their coaches that they really dont need to rest at all,subsequently filling up all of their given time with as many replacement activities as possible.This year I was given a weeks holiday by my coach to enjoy absolute relaxation.For the first three days I remained happily wrapped up in the satisfaction of my last race result,embracing pajama days,taking all morning just to have breakfast and using my spare time to socialize more than I usually do.I was enjoying it,and yetAll this resting made me feel restless.Then came Thursday.I laced up my shoes and headed back to the track.The simple part of resting is the physical act of it,but given that I usually train with focus and tension,learning to 学科网（北京）股份有限公司check out mentally doesnt always come naturally after a season,especially when Im on holiday.After a season with good results,some well-meaning people excitedly ask“Whats next?”It can wander in my mind and raise doubt over what I should be doing according to other peoples opinions.In this case I talked to some experienced athletes and raised my concern,one of whom suggested establishing a general outline of the next seasons goals prior to holidays.I find it helpful,not only preventing me from feeling rushed to get back into workouts too soon and giving a sense of purpose to the rest itself,but also ensuring that I will not spend my break making plans but allow my mind to rest too.We all fear losing the fitness and the achievements that we worked so hard to gain,but in reality,taking the appropriate rest and knowing how to take it is a help.Heres hoping that Ill get the balance next year.But if I didnt,at least I would enjoy myself.24.What do most athletes do during a holiday after a season?A.Negotiate with coaches.B.Do alternative workouts.C.Enjoy absolute relaxation.D.Travel to a seaside destination.25.What can we infer about the authors holiday from paragraph 2?A.It was carefully arranged.B.It followed the coachs plan.C.It was ended ahead of schedule.D.It was interrupted by unexpected tasks.26.What is the authors real need during the break time?A.Mind rest.B.Physical recovery.C.Time management.D.Professional guidance.27.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Secrets to Winning on TracksB.Plans for Next Seasons TrainingC.End-of-season Break:A New BeginningD.From Legs to Brain:True Relaxation for AthletesCThe first word on an ancient Roman scroll carbonized by Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 C.E.has recently been decoded,opening the door to eventually decoding the rest of the texts which havent been read in the past 2,000 years.The scroll,along with some 800 scrolls unearthed in the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum,looks more like a burnt log.Its so fragile(易碎的)that it would fall apart if researchers tried to unroll it.Early attempts to unroll and read it caused irreversible(不可逆的)damage and no such attempts have been made since the 19th century.Brent Seales,a computer scientist from the University of Kentucky has been perfecting CT scan technology to see whats inside the scrolls without actually touching them,a process he calls“virtual unwrapping”.Because commonly the ink contains metal,it can be seen on Seales CT scans.Unfortunately,the Herculaneum scrolls were written in carbon-based ink made from charcoal(木炭)and water.When Seales scanned them,nothing appeared to the naked eye.Earlier this year,Seales team launched“the Vesuvius Challenge”,encouraging people to use AI to further explore researchers scans.In early August,a contestant called Casey Handmer got a reward of$10,000 for being“the first person to find substantial,convincing evidence of ink within the unopened scrolls.“As a follow-up,a 21-year-old computer science student Luke Farritor drew inspiration from his discovery and created a machine-learning algorithm(算法)that identified ten clear letters spelled as the English word“purple”,marking the first dive into an unopened 学科网（北京）股份有限公司ancient book.These discoveries are critical steps toward decoding the remaining unopened scrolls.“Some 95 percent of the material from this important philosophical periods of humanity is lost,”says Robert Fowler,a classicist at the University of Bristol.Recovering them would transform our knowledge of the ancient world in ways we can hardly imagine.The impact could be as great as the rediscovery of manuscripts during the Renaissance,”he adds.28.Which of the following can be the reason why the scroll has become fragile?A.It was made of a burnt log.B.It was unearthed 200 years ago.C.It was unrolled by some researchers.D.It was carbonized by a volcanic eruption.29.Why were Seales scans unable to read Herculaneum scrolls?A.Because the scrolls were wet with water.B.Because the carbon-based ink dirtied the scrolls.C.Because the writing material contained no metal.D.Because virtual wrappers were touched by hands.30.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A.The influence of the research.B.The further plans to unroll the scrolls.C.The reason for launching the program.D.The process of decoding the text with AI.31.What does Robert Fowler think of these discoveries?A.Imaginary.B.Groundbreaking.C.Conventional.D.Unidentifiable.DHumans have moved species of plants and animals around,introducing them to new habitats,for as long as weve been on Earth.Many of these introduced species have been beneficial,such as European honeybees that have proved to be excellent pollinators(传粉者)in the US.But thats not the case for European beachgrass introduced to sand dunes(堆)on the coast of California.Beachgrass was planted to stabilize the ever-shifting dunes and it worked well.But the beachgrass is usually the only species living on dunes where there once were a large variety of native grasses and wildflowers.Its true that not all non-native species become invasive,but those that do adapt to the local environment,spread rapidly and outcompete native wildlife,often due to the absence of natural enemies that can keep their population in check.The spread of invasive species leads to the extinction and biodiversity loss on Earth,causing financial and ecological damage,according to the leading scientists.Some campaigns have been launched to eradicate invasive species,including pesticides spray,manual removal and biological controls.Interestingly,a growing number of chefs and conservationists even have a far simpler idea:Eat them to beat them.Apart from providing favorable habitats for local species,perhaps the best way to fight invasive species is to prevent them from occurring in the first place.When boating,clean the boat thoroughly before transporting it to a different body of water.Dont“pack a pest”when travelling,for fruit and vegetables,plants,insects and animals can carry pests or become invasive themselves.If you plan to own an alien pet,do your research and plan ahead to make sure you can commit to looking after it instead of releasing it into the wild.When you transfer an organism,you can also transfer its neighbors.Think before you move an animal or plant around!32.What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1?学科网（北京）股份有限公司A.Introduced species may cause unexpected results.B.The beachgrass led to the biodiversity on the dunes.C.Humans have a long history of working with nature.D.The honeybees were forced out of Europe by humans.33.What helps non-native species spread quickly?A.The balanced ecosytem.B.The competitive native wildlife.C.The absence of natural enemies.D.The extiction of invasive species.34.What does the underlined word“eradicate”in paragraph 3 mean?A.Increase.B.Introduce.C.Wipe out.D.Take over.35.What can people do to solve the problem of invasive species?A.Release organisms into the wild.B.Provide favorable habitats for them.C.Mind the acts of transferring species.D.Keep the wildlife population in check.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 15 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多选项。答案写在答题卡上。Being minimalist is about intentionally reducing your possessions to the items you value most and increasing the amount of time you spend on the people and activities you truly enjoy.It can take many forms.36 .This way you can optimize(优化)your life towards ideal.Try clearing away your possessionsIf you think hard,you will realize that the physical things you own are not the most important parts of your life.In tis case you can clear away all but the most essential things in sweeps.Focus on keeping things that you value deeply.37 .Take a few weeks to live without those things.At the same time,notice if the things youve kept are serving you.38 .You must have many friends,but how many of them are people who motivate and inspire you to grow and learn?Becoming minimalist means that you evaluate how well they fit into your ideal life and maximizing your social time spent on people who lift you up.Then you can also free up more time to

phone on silent,turn off the TV and block out distractions and just sit with your thoughts.You will come face to face with some uncomfortable truths.But pushing through to the other side is where the
