My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medi

15、cal attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned

16、out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then wed slowly move forward a little bit

17、 more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldnt.Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect

18、 and amazement as she pushed forward with sheer determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home.

23、rgely damaged. The terrible accident causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing the original look of the building, namely via a video game called Assassi

24、ns Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. In addition, with VR technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dam

25、e as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage(遗产).The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since

26、 then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with hundreds of images, as well as measuring everything precisely(精确地), engineers can make a copy as “same” as the real one.As computers and smartphones are hugely popular，the digital replica(复制品) or digital copy has great pra

27、tical value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized

28、cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. For example, in 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting it in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the in

29、formation of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.Time is the biggest problem to architectural heritage. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future，but the digital technology offers

30、a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.28. Which of the following statement is true?A. The big fire has damaged the whole Notre Dame.B. Only people in Paris felt pain for losing Notre Dame.C. The damaged parts of Notre Dame have already been repaired.D. A video gam

31、e can help people see the original look of Notre Dame.29. What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings?A. Scan the photos of the buildingsB.

32、 digital copy has great practical value?A. By comparison. B. By listing data.C. By giving examples.D. By classification.31. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Damage of Notre DameB. The Value of Digital ReplicaC. VR Technology Helps Repair the Cultural RelicsD. Digital Technology Helps Pro

33、tect Ancient BuildingsDAre people happier in nature with blue skies overhead and fresh green grass underfoot? Could noisy streets, crowded with cars and people, make us unhappy?The possible mental health problems of city living affect a lot of people. The World Health Organization estimates(估计)that

34、56 percent of the worlds population lived in urban areas in 2019. The WHO adds that that amount will increase to 66 percent by 2050. People often move to cities for better jobs and more cultural activities. But are they putting themselves at risk? Maybe. Experts at the American Psychiatry Associatio

35、n say that “natural environments or green spaces” do much good to our mental health.Many studies have shown that nature can calm us and make us feel happy. Nature, experts say, can also help us learn better. And experiencing nature helps people recover from the mental tiredness that comes from day-t

36、o-day work. On the other hand, mental health experts say some research suggests that city living might hurt our mental health. But they cannot say exactly why.What are the specific aspects of the urban environment which causes some people to develop mental illness? Andrea Mechelli, a doctor at Kings

37、 College, London, states, “There have been studies where people were literally taken out of an urban environment into a rural (乡村的) environment and their symptoms would improve. And we also see that the greater the city is, the greater the risk is.” Mechelli finds that someone who lives in a city is

38、 three times more likely to develop psychological(心理的) problems than someone living in the country.Kings College researchers, along with city planners, land and building designers and others wanted to learn more about city living and mental illness. So, they created a smartphone app called Urban Min

39、d. They say they wanted to understand how different parts of the urban environment affect mental wellbeing(健康).The researchers found that being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, seeing the sky, and feeling in contact with nature were associated with higher levels of mental well-being. They a

40、lso found that these seeming effects of nature were especially strong in those individuals at greater risk of mental health problems. The Urban Mind Project team says it hopes “the results will inform future urban planning and social policy aimed at improving design and health.”32. Why is the questi

42、. People are more content with their city life.C. Less and less people are interested in taking risks in cities,D. City people are more likely to develop mental problems.34.

43、 concern about people s mental health.C. It will contribute to future urban planning and social policies.D. People will be helped to improve their mental illness.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Urban Mind measures the level of mental wellbeing.B. City living may be harmful to peoples mental

44、 health.C. Living in the countryside is better than in the city.D.
