Many people love volcanoes, but few would love to face the extreme heat on their own. However, Kina and Martin, a French couple, are different. Over the past few decades, they had followed volcanic eruptions, getting very close to dangerous hot lava（岩浆）and gases, and taking their discoveries with amazing photos.
The couple met by chance at the University of Strasbourg in the 1960s, and soon they became close because of their shared love for volcanoes. After graduating, they focused on studying volcanoes even though they didn’t have any extra money to support their work. They traveled with limited money and a deep love for the beauty of volcanoes.
Their journey was filled with risk （风险）and excitement. To get valuable first-hand information, they put their lives in danger by facing the heat and falling rocks, getting closer to danger than anyone else. As a result, they took close photos of many volcanoes erupting, like the At Umari Volcano and the Cape Columbia Volcano. These wonderful photos caught the attention of local govemments, who later supported the couple with money to visit hundreds, or even thousands, of volcanoes around the world.
In June 1991, along with 40 other people, the couple went to record the eruption of Mount Unzen in Japan. Sadly, Kina and Martin lost their lives while researching volcanic activity to warn people in the area to evacuate. Later, it was found that their bodies were nearest to the center of volcano.
In 2022, their story was turned into a film called Fire of Love by Sara Dosa, a prize-winning director. One viewer commented, “I was amazed by the couple’s achievement. All of this was done before drones（无人机）, which are used today to study volcanoes, were created.”
24. What makes the French couple different from other volcano lovers?
A. They were good at taking photos.
B. They were highly educated volcano experts.
C. They managed to stay safe from lava and gases.
D. They were not afraid of danger and ready to take risks.
25. What did the couple do during their volcano travels?

B. They asked for money from the government.
C. They tried to warn and save lives during volcanic activity.
D. They got closer to the At Umari Volcano than anyone else.
26. What can be guessed from the last paragraph?
A. The viewer wanted to study volcanoes.
B. The couple created drones for research.
C. The couple lived in a time without drones.
D. The couple applied drones to study volcanoes.
27. Which of the following words could best describe Kina and Martin?
A. Adventurous and selfless. B. Patient and peace-loving.
C. Organized and careful. D. Creative and hard- working.
C
A recent study has shown an interesting finding: more men, instead of women, are choosing to adopt（领养）adult cats. This discovery goes against the common belief that cats are mainly loved by women, while dogs are seen as the loyal（忠诚的）friends of men. The study shows a big difference between men and women when it comes to choosing pets to adopt. Over the past four years, 1.5 million men have welcomed the joy of having adult cats as their family, while only1 million women have done so.
The strong relation between a man and his furry（毛茸茸的）friend is clear from the study’s findings. While little cats may be cute and playful, there are good reasons why men might prefer adult cats, especially if they want a loyal and fun pet. Unlike taking care of a little cat, which can be hard work, adult cats already have their own personalities. This means that people can enjoy the company of a cat with clear behavior right away. Adopting an adult cat gives you company right away without needing as much care as a little cat. This makes them a great choice for men who have busy schedules or don’t have much time for pet training. Adult cats already know how to use the litter box and have basic feeding habits, which is perfect for busy people.
Michael Bellingham, the head of UK Pet Food, said he was surprised by the growing number of men adopting older cats. “This year’s research looks at how pets can have a big effect on our lives, from helping us feel less lonely to making us happier. One-fifth of the people with mental（心理的）health problems we interviewed wanted pets to be included in prescriptions, as they can help treat their problems.”
So, for men who are thinking about getting a furry friend, adopting an adult cat might be the best choice. It gives you a pet that doesn’t need as much care and can also help with your mental health, making it a good deal for both the owner and the pet.
28. What can be learned about the recent study in paragraph 1?
A. Many families benefit from caring for pets.
B. Women enjoy being surrounded by cute cats.
C. Dogs have always been men’s most loyal friends.
D. Men prefer to adopt adult cats compared to women.
29. According to the study’s finding, why do men choose to adopt adult cats?
A. They can cure serious diseases.
B. They can take care of their owners.
C. They have fully developed personalities.
D. They are cute and playful to their owners.
30. Which of the following can replace the word “prescription” in paragraph 3?
A. Medical guidance. B. Job interview.
C. Personal preference. D. Travel brochure.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to adopting adult cats?
A. Confused B. Supportive
C. Doubtful D. Negative
D
Math is everywhere in our life, from working out the bill after dinner to your personal costs. While some people enjoy solving math problems, many others are afraid of the moment when they have to deal with numbers and feel really anxious. It might seem discouraging, but this “math anxiety” is quite common, and you’re far from being the only one who feels this way. Besides, our worries and fears don’t always show how able we are.
The reason for this problem often begins to appear in our childhood at school. Studies have shown that math teachers who feel nervous about teaching the subject can pass their anxiety to their students, and girls might be more affected by this anxiety. According to the Program for International Student Assessment, around31% of 15 and 16-year-olds in 34 countries said that they felt very nervous when solving math problems, 33% said they got nervous doing math homework, and nearly60% worried that math classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC that providing students, especially girls, with good role models “is important, especially at a young age.” She believes the key is to have people, especially women who love teaching math, educate younger kids.
David Robson, writing for BBC Future, mentioned, “It’s unclear why math causes so much fear compared to other subjects like geography. But knowing there’s a right or wrong answer might make you more anxious about not doing well.”
And if we believe that we’re not “math people”, we may question about ourselves and avoid solving problems that we could deal with.
Researchers have been trying to work out why mental math can make us nervous. This fear might come from all kinds of sources, but some suggest that openly expressing your fears can weaken their control on you and encourage children to see math tests as challenges rather than threat（威胁）. We need to have a positive view on math and give it another try.
32. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. Girls are better at math than boys.
B. Math classes are difficult for everyone.
C. Students’ anxiety only comes from teachers.
D. Math anxiety in childhood affect students’ confidence.
33. What might happen if someone believes they’re not a “math person”?
A. They will study math harder. B. They will doubt their abilities.
C. They will face challenges bravely. D. They won’t see math as a threat.
34. According to the last paragraph, what are children advised to do?
A. Find the reasons of math fear positively.
B. Give up challenges to avoid anxiety actively.
C. Speak out their fears for improvement bravely.
D. Examine the reasons for math failure carefully.
35. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Math Anxiety: How to Fix It?
B. Math Application: How to use Math?
C. Math Learning: The Key to Success in All Fields.
D. Math Competition: Race between Boys and Girls.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“If Mom finds out that I’m going to the beach, I’ll be in big trouble.” I thought to myself.
I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk in a relaxed way into the kitchen. As I was walking toward the back door, Mom asked without looking up from her dish-washing, “Where are you going?” I answered back at once, “I am going to the garden to play.” After I got out of the kitchen, I let out a big sigh（长舒一口气）. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running toward the bus stop at top speed.
After half an hour, I was at the beach looking around for my friends Jimmy and Bobby in the crowd. Some children were running and laughing, while some were building sandcastles. In the sea water not far from the beach, a couple of young men were racing in the canoes（独木舟）, their shouts and cheers filling the air. A moment later, I found Jimmy and Bobby, who were playing beach volleyball. I ran toward them and got into my swimming trunks（泳裤）. For about an hour, we played volleyball happily.
Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was going to pick up the ball, the tide（潮水）came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore（岸）. I wanted to show off my swimming skills, so I offered to help get the ball for them.
I jumped into the water and started swimming at a steady （稳定的）speed. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired. But when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I sped up. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong tide swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, my feet caught on some sea grass and I could not swim properly.
I tried to keep afloat（漂浮的）but it was no use. “If I had listened to my parents, this would never have happened,” I thought silently.
注意：
1. 续写词数至少为100；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, after struggling（努力）for a minute or two, I still got pulled under water. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
