The relatively traffic-free roads mean that there is little trouble in getting out of the town and into the hills. Girona’s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there’s a certain magic to the place.Algarve,PortugalPortugal is a cycling destination that has grown in popularity thanks to the large variety of roads in the country. It is not too dissimilar to what you’ll find in the most popular cycling regions,but Portugal just feels that little bit less main stream. Away from the bike, there is also plenty of food to sink your teeth into and local wines to try.Northern Scotland,UKOne of the best places to tour in all of Europe is in fact Scotland. Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland’s rules on wild camping-Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam(漫游)，while English law does not. It’s a totally liberating way to explore a place and Scotland might just be one of the best ones to do it due to the beautiful scenery and rural landscapes.Julian Alps,SloveniaSlovenia is one of the relatively new kids on the block when it comes to European cycling getaways. A great destination for mountain bikers and road cyclists alike, the country has plenty of brilliant off-road routes and rideable,tricky roads that take you high up into the Julian  Alps. It’s no surprise once you’ve ridden here that the country punches well above its weight in terms of producing world class bike racers.1．What do the first two destinations have in common?A．They supply local wines for visitors.B．They are completely traffic free.C．They have fewer riding routes.D．They serve delicious food.2．Which of the following is your best choice if you love adventure?A．Algarve,Portugal.B．Girona,Spain.C．Northern Scotland,UK.D．Julian Alps,Slovenia.3．What do we know about Julian Alps, Slovenia?A．It produces brilliant mountain climbers.B．It has a short cycling history.C．It welcomes wild campers.D．It is known for rural landscapes. Teenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier. ”Dr. Lopez points out that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level. According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to active teenagers. Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person’s strength.4．Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important?A．It can make the teenagers grow taller. B．It can help teenagers become healthier.C．It can help to burn up calories. D．It can increase teenagers’ strength.5．What can we learn from the passage?A．Active people always have a high fitness level.B．Overweight people always take more exercise.C．Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.D．Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.6．In order to prevent injuries, you should do some ________ exercises.A．walking B．stretching and bending C．riding D．weight-training7．What is the best title for the passage?A．Doing exercises B．Teenagers’ Fitness C．Different Lifestyles D．Overweight Teenagers When Frank Herbert ordered pizza from Pizza Huts, he was surprised that Judit, at such an old age, worked as a delivery driver. That's when the 89-year-old man first came into the sight of the Herbert family. Judit Newey started delivering pizza in Roy, Utah, to help pay the bills, as his social security benefits (社会保障金) weren't enough to live on. From the moment the Herberts heard him say, “Hello, are you looking for some pizza," Judit found his way into their hearts!Ever since that day, whenever they place an order, they ask for Judit personally. It didn't take long for them to begin recording their sweet meetings and share them on TikTok, which is how thousands of other people fell in love with Judit. Still, his fans couldn't help but wonder why someone at his age was working so hard—question the Herbert family was asking themselves too. They spoke with Judit, and when they found out he works 30 hours a week to make ends meet, they decided to collect donations to make his life easier. They figured anything would help, but the total sum which is up to $12,000 really surprised them!In September, the couple decided to switch things up by showing up at Judit's door with a couple of gifts. First, they surprised him with a cute cartoon shirt of himself holding a pizza box. Then they revealed the surprising act of generosity that brought him to tears! They explained that they had rallied their TikTok community to support him, and while he's not entirely sure what the platform is, he couldn't be more thankful. “How do ever say thank you? I don't know what to say, "he told them. "I don't know what to say, except thank you." The Herberts insisted they were just the messengers. It was his fans who made the wonderful gift possible.

However, more than half of the mangrove forests have been destroyed in the past century. Several World Heritage Sites have been listed largely because of their mangrove ecosystems. Among them are the Sundarbans across India and Bangladesh, the Everglades National Park in the US, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.Being a World Heritage Site requires for the mangroves to be protected. However, one country in Asia has gone further by having a five-year program to protect and conserve all their mangroves. They even have a mangrove museum and observe World Mangrove Day. This country is Sri Lanka. Why are mangrove trees so important to Sri Lanka and to other countries where mangroves grow?The mangrove tree grows along coastal saltwater shorelines. They have adapted to the harsh coastal weather and have deep roots. This means that they are strong and cannot be easily removed. In countries where natural disasters such as tsunamis and cyclones occur, the forests provide protection. The villages in Sri Lanka with full mangrove forests have suffered less damage when hit by these natural disasters. The reason is that the mangroves break up the force and strength of the waves.The mangroves also quickly absorb carbon dioxide and send oxygen into the atmosphere. This makes them an important part of the fight against climate change. They absorb far more carbon dioxide than other types of forest, and store it in their structure and even in the soil. This is important as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is believed to be a cause of detrimental changes in the weather, such as global warming.The strong roots also provide protection for young fish as they grow. With the oceans around the world being overfished, it is important to maintain the ecological balance in the oceans. For Sri Lanka, one of the threats to the mangrove forests is the shrimp farms being set up. To build saltwater ponds for the shrimps, the mangroves are cut down. This has resulted in fewer fish surviving among the mangrove roots and fewer fish being caught by the fishermen. The local fishing communities noticed that they were losing money and it made them aware of how important the mangroves were. They are now helping to conserve the forests.Sri Lanka is showing that a nation can preserve all of its mangroves. The conservation model they have can be used by other countries. It might take many years of planning, but the benefits of saving mangroves definitely outweigh the costs.12．What do we know about the mangrove trees from the passage?A．They are mainly grown in Australia.B．They can prevent young fish from growing.C．They have been damaged by natural disasters.D．They are less impressive but important to the ecosystem.13．What has been done in Sri Lanka to protect mangroves?A．A world mangrove festival has been founded.B．Saltwater ponds for the shrimps have been set up.C．A 5-year mangroves protecting program has been started.D．More mangroves along the coastal areas have been grown.14．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The mangroves can keep the ecological balance in the oceans.B．The mangroves are essential for fighting against climate change.C．The mangroves have deep roots and hold the soil in place firmly.D．The mangroves can break up the force and strength of the waves.15．What is the author’s attitude towards the future conservation of mangroves?A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear. 二、七选五（共10分）Many experts are calling the growing problem of global waste a worldwide health crisis in since pollution from trash is not only harming the world’s oceans, air and soil but also endangering people’s health as well as the livelihood of all living creatures.Reduce, reuse, recycleSuch a dilemma raises the question, is there a more responsible way of dealing with trash? Fortunately, there is. ___16___One example of this is what’s often called the three Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle. Reducing the use of plastic containers as well as reusing and recycling bottles and cans decreases the amount of garbage being sent to landfills. As a result, less money is spent on waste management, and countries’ financial burdens are significantly relieved. Such positive effects on an economy are known as a circular economy.Circular economyTraditionally, manufacturers would make a product to be used and disposed of by consumers. This linear (直线型的) model of production offered no help in the fight against global waste. ___17___.Once a product’s value is exhausted, the materials are recycled and returned to manufacturers. The outcome is less waste. One large-scale example of this is happening on the island of Taiwan.___18___In 1997, Taiwan established its signature 4-in-1 Recycling Program, consisting of communities, government cleaning teams, recycling companies and the Recycling Fund. Residents separate their recyclable waste. The local government collection teams collect it.___19___. Importers and manufacturers who are responsible for the recyclable products pay a fee into the Recycling Fund. The Recycling Fund is an essential aspect of the program used to subsidize (补贴) the recycling disposal system, support education and research and development as well as finance recycling efforts in the future.Turning garbage into goldBy following a circular system, more products than ever are being manufactured using recycled materials. Environmentally-friendly decisions like these help to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities. ___20___.A．Practices in TaiwanB．4-in-1 Recycling ProgramC．Recycling can truly turn garbage into goldD．Living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to goE．Alternatively, a circular economy was introducedF．The recyclable waste is recycled in many local factoriesG．Recycling companies buy waste materials from them to make profits 三、完形填空（共30分）From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us.
