learning to read.They discovered Jeanne Birdsall,Ben Hatke,Sara Penny packer and Rick Riordan.I read and lovedmany of the books.Often,I was reminded of my running story.I started running when my older daughter was in primary school.During those early days she made her disrespect for running clear.Later she did run.She ran throughout high school and had been running ever since.We often ran together.At first,I slowed down for her.But very soon,her pace improved,and she was slowing down for me.Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren.At first,adults-parents,grandparents and teachers-led the way.Then the kids learned to read,and soon they were mere specks in the distance,gulping down books wed never heard of,referring to series wed never come across.Early on,I began preparing myself for the inevitable.The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed,it ended,in the case of my granddaughter.She and her mother still read together,but mostly she read on her own.My grandsons also read like they breathed-in the car,at the table,while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again,eyes on their books.I trailed behind them this summer as they collected a heaping pile of books from the library.They sustained them through ten days in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.The night before our flight home,each of them were read,some more than once.Recently,I picked up a book once owned by a child who was now these boys uncle.I began reading aloud,第 3 页/共 10 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司during a moment of wild enjoyment,and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch,listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.4.Whats the authors purpose of telling her running

is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.To them,Citywalk means“roaming around the city”on foot.Participants can follow a distinctive urban route,soaking up the atmosphere,exploring old buildings,browsing boutique shops,sipping a cup of coffee,or indulging in authentic local snacks.Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people,or simply a leisurely stroll for one or two to explore new areas,sticking to the key point:avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more inclusive experience of the places you visit.Besides interacting with a city,Citywalk provides young people with a new 第 4 页/共 10 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司social scene,where they who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends.In China,the Citywalk trend is spreading from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities,encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved.Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides.Xiao Yiyi,a young entrepreneur in Changsha,recently launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account,with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to“walk in open-air museums”.Her Changsha route features more offbeat sights like historical architecture from the 19th century,artsy old alleys,and even a stop-off to sample the local spicy crayfish specialty.Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon,it is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences based on their interests and needs.At the same time,Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored,professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands.8.Why do young people choose Citywalk?A To enjoy a guided tour.B.To cut down expenses.C.To dig deeper into a city.D.To make new friends.9.What is the most notable feature about Citywalk?A.Doing sightseeing on foot.B.Avoiding hot scenic spots.C.Taking a local tour guide.D.Keeping a fixed urban route.10.What might Xiao Yiyi be?A.A tour guideB.A culture researcher.C.A Citywalk enthusiast.D.An event organizer.11.What is the authors attitude to the Citywalk trend?A.Favorable.B.DismissiveC.Doubtful.D.Unclear.DBefore the year has even come to a close,climate experts are certain that 2023 will be the hottest year in recorded history.On Dec.6,the Copernicus Climate Change Service(C3S)part of the European Unions space programrevealed that this years average global temperatures have been 2.6 F(1.46 C)higher than temperatures in preindustrial times and 0.2 F(0.13 C)higher than January to November in 2016.These“extraordinary”.第 5 页/共 10 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司temperatures mean that 2023will be“the warmest year in recorded history,”C3S deputy director Samantha Burgess said in a statement.The researchers note that this years record heat was partly caused by the latest El Nino event a phenomenon where warmer water near the equator triggers warmer global air temperatures that began in June.Some other experts have suggested that the January2022 eruption of Tongas underwater volcano,which pumped record levels of water vapor into the atmosphere,may also be partly responsible.Despite these factors,the major cause of climbing temperatures is global warming caused by runaway greenhouse gas emissions,which,noted in a C3S statement,have trapped more than 25 billion atomic bombs worth of energy in our atmosphere over the last 50 years.And still worse,the global carbon emissions have reached a new high this year,according to scientists at the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties(COP28)On Dec 4.The effects of global warming are becoming more obvious.In 2023,research revealed that climate change is causing major US cities to sink and more than half of the worlds largest lakes and reservoirs to shrink.Studies also predicted that the Gulf Stream,which plays a vital role in ocean circulation,could collapse by as early as 2025,and that rising sea levels could swamp the U S coastline by 2050.However,scientists say that we still have time to prevent further disaster.Leading climate change expert Michael Mann,from the University of Pennsylvania,recently wrote that“we can still stop the worst effects of climate change”if we stop emitting greenhouse gases as soon as possible.12.Whats the purpose of the text?A.To report the recorded hottest year.B.To present findings of a research.C.To analyze the causes of climate change.D.To warn of the coming natural disaster.13.Which is the main factor in causing the warmest weather in 2023?A.Eruption of an underwater volcano.B.Greenhouse gas emissions.C.Collapse of the Gulf Stream.D.The latest El Nino event.14.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Scientists predictions of the future.B.The threat of rising sea levels to the U.S.第 6 页/共 10 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司C.The effects of climate change.D.Different opinions on global warming.15.How does Michael Mann feel about the present situation?A.Confused.B.Worried.C.Pessimistic.D.Hopeful.第二节第二节(共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5

will probably be surprised to find how many things there are that you can be proud of!Dont worry about making mistakes._19_ If you accept challenges and live your life to the full,you will fail sometimes.Make mistakes means taking chances.Those who never take chances will have a life full of lost opportunities.When you are worried about the future,ask yourself:What is the worst thing that can happen?You will often be surprised to find that the“worst”may not be as bad as you thought it was going to be.The“bottom line”isnt often as discouraging as you think it will be._20_A.That isnt a
