With a backpack filled with necessaries and a heart full of hope, I set off to hike the ancient ways of the nearby mountains.The first day was a test of strength as I climbed sharp paths under the burning sun. My legs ached, and my lungs burned with every breath. But with each step, I felt a growing sense of achievement. As the sun set below the view, I set up my tent beside a gentle stream, where the cool water comforted my tired body.Alone with my thoughts, I found myself reflecting on my life’s journey. The challenges I had faced and the victories I had won flashed before my eyes. I realized that, like the mountains, I had peaks (山峰) and valleys — times of struggle and success.On the third day, I met with a fellow traveler, an elderly man who had hiked these paths for many years. He shared stories of his adventures and offered wisdom that resonated (产生共鸣) with my heart. We walked together for a while, our footsteps mixing with the sound of the wind.As the journey neared its end, I stood on the highest peak and the world spread out before me. I felt a deeper connection to the universe, a sense of belonging that I had never experienced before. At that moment, I understood that my true self was not just a part of me, but a part of everything around me.The hike back down was filled with a newfound sense of peace. I returned to my city life with a clearer view of my path and a deeper understanding of who I was. The journey had changedme, and I carried the lessons of the mountains in my heart, a reminder that the exploration for self-discovery is a journey worth taking.4．Why did the author go on a hike?A．To enjoy the nature beauty.B．To have a self-exploration.C．To make some new friends.D．To take part in a hiking race.5．How did the author feel during the first day of hiking?A．Tired but satisfied with each step.B．Worried and frightened of being alone.C．Confused but encouraged by the sleep paths.D．Surprised and attracted to the beauty of nature.6．What can we learn about the elderly man from paragraph 4?A．He had not hiked in the place before.B．He wanted to be a world famous guide.C．He had the same background as the author.D．He shared his life experiences and wisdom.7．What did the author realize at the highest peak?A．Self-discovery is a lonely journey.B．Nature is more beautiful than city life.C．True self is connected to everything around us.D．The mountains were not as challenging as expected.On the afternoon of September 10th, Huawei officially launched (发布) the world’s first mass-produced triple-fold (三折) smartphone, the Mate XT, at its event in Shenzhen. Its price starts at 19, 999 yuan. Huawei also introduced two new cars, the AITO M9 five-seat and the Zhijie R7, creating excitement across the tech industry.“This is the largest and thinnest phone in the world. My dream is to carry a tablet (平板) and a computer in my pocket,” said Y u Chengdong, the Executive Director, while showing the Mate XT on stage. Over the years, Huawei has made many improvements with different folding designs, including inward, outward, and vertical folds. The new triple-folding design not only changes the industry but also makes the types of smart cars unclear, turning science fiction intoreality.The Mate XT can change between single-screen, double-screen, and triple-screen modes, giving users a different experience.Experts believe that the launch of the Huawei Mate XT is a big step in folding screen technology, making it different from the upcoming iPhone 16. At the same time, the new Mate 70 series and the HarmonyOS system, expected later this year, are key parts of Huawei’s plan to enter the high-end market. Reports say pre-orders for the Mate XT have been very popular, with more than 4.3 million people signing up to buy it. Its rarity has already caused prices to rise in the second-hand market, with some selling for over 100,000 yuan, showing its high demand.Besides the smartphone launch, Huawei also broadened the possibilities of smart transportation by introducing two leading smart cars, the AITO M9 five-seat version and the Zhijie R7. These models show Huawei’s strong skills in self-driving technology and show the company’s promise to integrating (使一体化) AI into its products and changing the future of connected living.

You are going through an awkward time and you may either fit in right away or feel like a complete outcast. But no matter how well you may fit in (or not), joining a club will be helpful for you now and in the future.Joining a club is a great way to meet new friends, especially if you are new at school. Being in a club encourages you to talk to people who share the same interests with you. Even if you are the shyest person, you are sure to make friends with at least one person in the club you choose to join. From my own experience, I have made some of my best friends through after-school activities and have had many new opportunities.Another good thing about joining a club is that taking part in activities looks great on college applications. Being known as outgoing is an important quality (品质); it shows that you are willing to try new things and be determined. It can also help you build skills that you might need during a college interview.Many teens fight with staying productive. Most students go to school and then come home to spend the rest of the day in front of the TV or on their phones, but clubs help prevent this. Teens are also easily influenced, and if they join the wrong group, they might get into trouble. Clubs are a wonderful place to spend time with good friends who can support you if you need help.Perhaps the most important reason to join a club is the long-term benefits (益处) it provides. The classroom is not the only place to learn in a school. Meeting and talking to new people, managing your time, and staying organized are skills you will use every day in your life. 12．What might the underlined word “outcast” in paragraph 1 mean?A．A person who is popular.B．A person who is not smart.C．A person who is confident.D．A person who is not accepted.13．What do colleges think highly of according to the text?A．The number of clubs you have joined.B．The strong relationships you have built.C．The bright personality you have developed.D．The skills you have learned while forming a club.14．What benefit of joining a club is talked about in paragraph 4?A．Increasing the knowledge.B．Learning team working skills.C．Improving the fitness level.D．Making good use of the time.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Why should you join a club?B．What club should you join?C．Should you join a second club?D．How should you join a club you like?Tennis is a challenging and fun physical sport, and regular playing can help improve all physical and mental health. 16 .Improve mobility and grip (握力) strengthAs we age, our muscles naturally weaken and your bones can become more weak. 17 The repetitive movement and power during a tennis match can help make bones stronger. “People who keep their grip strength age more slowly. They stay healthier, live longer and are stronger throughout their bodies,” says doctor Ardeshir Hashmi, who specializes in older people’s health.Lower your chance of heart problemsThe physical activities in tennis, which include both aerobic (有氧运动) and anaerobic activities, help the heart and blood flow. Similarly, swimmers lowered their chance of heart disease or stroke (中风) by 41 percent. 18 . Again running, football and rugby have no big influence on heart deaths. However, playing tennis three hours a week can lower your chance of heart disease by over 50%, according to the United States Tennis Association (USTA). In summary, playing tennis regularly is a great way to stay healthy.19Tennis, unlike working out alone at the gym, running outside or swimming, requires you to interact with others. Tennis can bring different groups of people together through exercise in the community. Keeping strong social networks helps prevent mental health conditions like anxiety and loneliness, helping people feel happier into older age.If this sounds good to you, you’re in luck. 20 . So, it may just be the time to dust offyour racket.A．Have a sense of communityB．Improve the value of personal livingC．Grip strength can show how well you’re agingD．Tennis is popular among all ages and skill levelsE．Tennis has unique health benefits backed by researchF．And dance or gymnastics lowered their risk by 36 percentG．They become watchers rather than players in their chosen activity二、完形填空I was born in a very poor family.
