are calling and I must go.the famous quote is from John Muir(1838-1914),who is described as“the wilderness poet”and“the citizen of the universe”.He once jokingly referred to himself as a poet-geologist-botanist and ornithologist（鸟类学家）-naturalist etc.etc!He is known as the Father of American National Parks.Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said,As we got to know him he was among the highest individuals in America;Im talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln,Martin Luther King Jr.,and Thomas Jefferson people who have had a transformation al effect on who we are.So where is the quote from?Well,John Mui r was a productive writer.Whether he was writing poetry or simply letters to his family,John Mui r was always putting pen to paper.The quote is from within one of his many letters written to his sister:September 3rd,1873Yosemite ValleyDear sister Sarah,I have just returned from the longest and hardest trip I have ever made in the mountains,having been gone over five weeks.I am weary,but resting fast;sleepy,but sleeping deep and fast;hungry,but eating much.For two weeks I explored the glaciers of the summits east of here,sleeping among the snowy mountains without blankets and with little to eat on account of its being so inaccessible.After my icy experiences it seems strange to be down here in so warm and flowery a climate.I will soon be off again,determined to use all the season in carrying through my work will go next to Kings River a hundred miles south,then to Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains,and in winter work in Oakland with my pen.Though slow,some day I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge of them.The mountain s are calling and I must go,and I will work on while I can,studying incessantly（永不停息地）.I will write again when I return from Kings River Canyon.Farewell,with love everlasting.Yours,John24.What can we learn from John Muirs self-description in

question:What is the essence of our humanity?For the sake of simplicity,people consider two distinctly different views of humanity.The first view involves dominance and power.In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness,Droll(1984)made the interesting claim that humans essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows.Those who forgive are against their basic nature,much to their harm.In his opinion,forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others,who might then take advantage of them.The second view involves the theme of cooperation,mutual respect,and even love as the basis of who we are as humans.Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings,we need both to receive love from and offer love to others.Without love,our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart.Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions.For example,how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans,forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness,shown through scientific studies,is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony.Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger.At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged（疏远）accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments.Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.As an important note,when we take a Classical philosophical perspective,that of Aristotle,we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality.We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive,but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive.The actuality of forgiving,its actual appropriation in conflict situations,develops with practice.28.What is Drolls idea about forgiveness?学科网（北京）股份有限公司A.Aggressive people should learn to forgive others.B.People should offer mercy to anyone else.C.People forgiving others have their welfare affected.D.Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.29.What does the example in paragraph 2 illustrate?A.To fight is to grow.B.To give is to receive.C.To forgive is to love.D.To dominate is to harm.30.What is the writers attitude toward forgiveness?A.Reserved.B.Favorable.C.Skeptical.D.Objective.31.What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph?A.Actuality is based on potentiality.B.Forgiveness is in our nature.C.Forgiveness grows with time.D.It takes practice to forgive.DAccording to legend,the first-ever marathon was so exhausting that the Greek messenger,who dashed 40km from the battlefield to Athens,collapsed and died.Over the past 2,500 years,humans have become better at running.Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recorded since 2022.This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes“super-shoes”that offer athletes greater assstance.Such has been the improvement that some have questioned whether the technology is now too dominant.No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear.Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky,foam soles（鞋底）,which act as springs.When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground,the runners receive more energy as they push off again.In 2017 Nike announced the new technology allowed athletes to use 4%less energy than they would if wearing a regular shoe.Those who would like the shoes banned worry that the balance between the runners ability and footwear has become twisted.Plainly,though,this is a long way from shoes that matter more than runners.A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys,but she is not going to run faster than Ms.Assefa(world champion)wearing regular shoes.World Athletics insists such super-shoes should be available to all athletes in order to be legal,so there is no risk of results being determined by a lack of access to the best equipment.Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory（轨迹）,becoming stronger,faster and fitter.Technology has always contributed to this.But as the sports industry has more investment,the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown,whether in kit,diet or game strategy.Surely,ad vances have to be controlled.But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to carry out.This is a genie（精灵）that cannot be returned to its shoebox.32.What has improved female marathon records since 2022?A.The changes of rules.B.The assistance of coaches.C.The development of humans.D.The advance in sports kit.33.What is centered on about super-shoes in paragraph 2?A.The challenge.B.The drawback.C.The principle.D.The history.学科网（北京）股份有限公司34.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Ms.Assefa runs slowly in regular shoes.B.Nike Alphaflys better athletes performance.C.Using super-shoes is regarded as dishonest.D.Access to super shoes determines athletes success.35.What does the last paragraph imply?A.Athletics should not embrace super-shoes.B.We dont need to worry much about technological advances.C.Not all investments have led to ad vances in technology.D.It is impossible for sports industry to control super-shoes.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 分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项.Uplifting wordsWhen you see your friends or loved ones feeling down or being met with some setbacks at school or work,you might want to offer them a pep talk.A pep talk is usually a brief,intense and emotional talk designed to influence or encourage an audience.36 Just saying what you think the other person wants to hear might not be enough.It requires an understanding of what your audience needs whether it is simply cheering them up or motivating them to change.The column offers the following steps towards an effective pep talk.Step one is

sure they know that you will be there for them,follow up with them after the pep talk.40 Dont argue if the person disagrees with what you are saying or tells you:you dont understand;this time is
