The yearly marathon（a long-distance running race of 42．195 km）in my town usually takes place in summer．My job is to    16    behind the runners in an ambulance（救护车）to see if any one of them needs    17    help．

“We just need to stay behind the    18    runner, so take it slowly．” I said to the driver, Doug, as the race started．

The front-runners started to    19    and then my eyes were fixed on the woman in blue silk running shorts and a white T-shirt．

We knew that we were already watching our “last runner”．Her    20    were so disabled that it seemed almost    21    for her to be able to walk, let alone（更不用说）run a marathon．Doug and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward．   22    she was the only runner left in sight．At that time, tears    23    down my face when I watched with respect    24    she pushed forward with great strength through the last miles．

When we got to the finish line, rubbish lay everywhere and the    25    people had gone home．However, a man was still standing straight there．He was    26    one end of a ribbon of crepe paper（绉纸带）．She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering（飘动）    27    her．I didn’t know this woman’s name．but that day she became part of my    28   ．For her, it wasn’t about    29    the other runners or winning a prize, but about    30    what she had started to do．When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it”, I will think of the “last runner”．Then I realize how easy the task before me really is．

A businessman has a bird which he kept in a cage．He was going to India, the land from where the bird came．He asked the bird whether he could bring anything back for him．Instead, the bird asked for his freedom, but was refused．Then he asked the businessman to visit a jungle(丛林) in India and announce his captivity(囚禁) to the free birds who were there．

The businessman did so, and almost immediately after he had spoken, a wild bird, just like his own, fell off a tree and lay on the ground near his feet, senselessly．The businessman thought that this bird must be an old friend of his own bird, and felt sad that he should have caused this death．

When he got home, the bird asked him whether he had brought good news from India．“No,” said the businessman, “I’m afraid that my news is bad．One of your good friends fell from a tree suddenly and died at my feet when I told about your captivity．”

As soon as these words were spoken, the businessman’s bird collapsed and fell to the bottom of the cage．“The news of his friend’s death has killed him, too,” thought the businessman．Sadly he picked up the bird and put it on the windowsill (窗台)．At once the bird got up and flew to a nearby tree．“ Now you know,” he said, “ what you thought was disaster was in fact _________ ．The message you brought back was actually telling me how to free myself．”

34．Where did the bird come from?

A．A cage． B．A nearby land． C．An Indian jungle． D．An Asian forest．

The Internet and video game technology (技术) are coming together thanks to virtual reality (VR, 虚拟现实) technology．Screens show this virtual world to our eyes while speakers bring it to our ears．However, it can be more immersive (沉浸的)．To do this, it should use more of our senses(感觉)．What about our hands, mouths and noses?

Technology companies are working on it!

Scent (气味) is a difficult thing to recreate, according to the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech)．Recently, researchers at the school created a screen that can spread different scents to a user．They programmed a computer to mix seven “typical” oils, including lemon and lavender (熏衣草)．By mixing them, they can copy real smells．

Tokyo Tech said there will soon be scent libraries, full recipes (配方)．Takamichi Nakamoto, who led the research, said movie theaters and video games could use this technology to make smells and become “extremely enjoyable”．Advertisements for food and makeup may also use it to attract customers．

What about our sense of touch? Technologies that create a sense of touch are already common．For example, our phones vibrate (震动) as we type．After our fingertips, our mouths are the most sensitive part of our bodies．So, researchers at Carnegie Melon University, US, made VR glasses．They can “shoot” super high-pitched sound waves (高频率的声波) at your lips, teeth and tongue．

In a demo video, we can watch spiders crawl (爬) into the mouth of a game player．She feels them! Another demo shows someone using a virtual toothbrush．Maybe soon, we will be able to give our families a virtual kiss!

38．Technology companies give users a more immersive experience by ________．

A．making louder sounds 

B．using more of our senses

C．making larger virtual worlds

D．putting videos on bigger screens

39．What do we know about the technology of creating scents?

A．There’s no company working on it．

B．People now can create seven different scents．

C．It is easier to make scents than making sounds．

D．Researchers can now use computers to copy real smells．

40．Which of the following uses your nose?

A．A virtual toothbrush．

B．The vibration of phones．

C．Smells during an advertisement for food．

D．Super high-pitched sound waves shot at someone’s lips．

41．What is the passage mainly about?

A．The most important senses．

B．The wonderful scent libraries in Tokyo．

C．Video games of the future．

D．Technologies for more immersive environment．

Sunshine, beaches and coconuts (椰子)—these are why people usually go to Hainan．But more than a paradise (天堂) for travelers and foodies, it’s also a wonderland of plants and animals．

Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, in the south-central part of Hainan Island, has the most and well-kept tropical rainforests (热带雨林) in China．President Xi Jinping visited it in April．

The national park covers 4,269 square kilometers, or one-seventh of the island．More than 95 percent of the park is virgin (原始状态的) forest and is home to 3,653 species of vascular plants (维管植物) and 540 species of terrestrial vertebrates (陆生脊椎动物)．

The park is the only habitat (栖息地) of the world’s most endangered primate (灵长类动物)—the Hainan gibbon (长臂猿)．It’s an uncommon species (种类)．They look like monkeys, but have no tails．They live in the trees their whole lifetimes．Every morning, they whistle loudly to mark their territory (领地)．They eat fruits and leaves from more than 130 plants．The number of Hainan gibbons has increased from fewer than 10 in the 1980 s to 36 in 2022．This shows China’s achievements in environmental protection．

Not just a sweet home to animals, the park is a “live museum” of amazing plants．More than 400 kinds of plants grow only in Hainan．Cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) is a wild plant native to the island．With feather-like leaves, this plant can live to be 200 years old．If it lives in the Yangtze River Basin and North China, it grows almost without flowers or fruit．But in Hainan, cycas hainanensis plants over 10 years old blossom (开花) and bear fruit almost every year, thanks to the warm and humid (湿润的) weather．

With so many plants and animals, the biodiversity index (生物多样性指数) of the park—a number to rate species diversity—is as high as 6.28．It is comparable (可比较的) to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil．That’s why people call the park a treasure for both China and the world．

42．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________．

A．an introduction to the park 

B．the views of the park

C．the news of the park’s opening

D．details of rare plants and animals

43．What do we know about the Hainan gibbon?

A．It is a monkey without a tail．

B．Its voice sounds like a crying baby．

C．It lives on plants and birds．

D．It is a species only found in Hainan．

44．From the story, we can infer (推断) that cycas hainanensis ________．

A．never blossoms and bears fruit

B．can only live for 10 years in Hainan

C．lives better in warm and humid weather

D．first blossoms when it is 10 years old．

45．Which of the following may be the writer’s opinion?

A．We must start to do something for rare species．

B．Human activities will do harm to the rainforest．

C．China has done a great job in protecting the rainforest．

D．We should compare our rainforest with the Amazon rainforest．
