241．On a cool morning，Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya.His calmness makes it easy to forget that he's tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world.Kasaine is tracking lions especially one lion called Marti，who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.
Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish，but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life.Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife.Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going.During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school，he learned how to tell the paw prints of a lion from those of other animals.
Growing up，Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals.For many Maasai，tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection.But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect tjye.aim.He leads a small group of wide eyed tourists over the red sandy path，searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.
Each year，thousands of tourists crowd Kenya's national parks to try to have a look at the "big five"：elephants，rhinoceros，leopards，buffaloes and lions.The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation's economy is tied to the protection of its wildljye.aie.If Kenya's wildlife disappears，so does its second-largest source of income.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively" for animals.But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas.They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle.But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.
（1）How did Kasaine track lions？

Everyone procrastinates" because they want to feel good now.The way to do that is to avoid the task.You can procrastinate on nearly anything，even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. "Some people procrastinate cleaning.Some people procrastinate by cleaning，" says Professor Peter Stone.Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. "One big cause for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure，of not meeting others' expectations，" Stone adds.
Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive.But researchers disagree. "I did a study several years ago，asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time，" says Stone. "They did worse than non- procrastinators：they made more mistakes and they took longer.But they thought they did better. "No matter what the cause is，procrastination is usually not going to be good for you.For example，bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness，which in turn can cause many other health problems.
For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating，the best advice might be to take action first.If you've been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise，just put on your walking shoes.A little bit of progress will get you moving.
Next，find something to help you remember to take action.If you want to go to bed at 10：30 p.m.，you might set a timed dimmer switch" at 10：00 p.m.When the lights are dimmer，you'll start going to bed.It works for most people.
Finally，reward yourself every time you make progress.For example，after you've run 3 km，enjoy your favourite ice-cream.But be careful：it won't work the other way around.

244．For as long as we can remember，one of the most popular ways parents use to punish their children has been the "time out".
It seems that it is a good idea：the child sits on his own to reflect on what he has done.Then，when the time is up，he will apologize and learn from the mistake.
However，just because it's something that's been done for years，that doesn't mean it is the right thing to do.In fact，very often，children don't sit nicely and think about what they've done.Instead，they need to be told a few （or many） times to go back to their places and stay quiet.They're not reflecting on why they are in the "time out" at all.More likely than not，they're probably just really angry，and so are the parents.In the end，both the parents and the children make each other unhappy，or even angry.
What can parents do to change this situation？You may have already heard of things like peaceful parenting and gentle parenting.These focus on the relationship between parent and child through building trust and love.So，instead of starting a "time out"，try something called "time in".A "time in" needs both parent and child to stay close until both get calm.After that，the parent，and child can discuss what happened and solve the problem together.If the child can make changes，everyone can then move on.
As we all know，punishment and violence" seldom work and will never teach the children what the right way to act is.A "time in" can be the great time for the children to learn through mistakes.Kids learn how to build their emotional and social skills through difficult situations.So，instead of punishing them for acting their age，we can use chances to teach and guide them to a place of learning.
A "time in" may take more time，but it does work.
（1）During a "time out"，a child is told to.
A．stay outside
B．make a promise
C．sit alone and reflect
D．return to school
（2）In the writer's opinion，a "time out".
A．is becoming more popular
B．doesn't always work
C．should be parents' first choice
D．takes too much time
（3）When a child has done something wrong，the writer suggests that.
A．both teachers and parents discuss how to solve the problem
B．parents try something called "time in" instead of "time out"
C．the child say sorry to his or her parents and learn from mistakes
D．the child stay at home and reflect until he never makes mistakes
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？
A．Why Not "Time In"
B．Learn From Mistakes
C． "Time Out" or "Time In"
D．No Violence at Home發(fā)布：2025/1/5 9:30:5組卷：3引用：1難度：0.2245．Marianne Carus，who started Cricket magazine in 1973 and served as Editor-in-Chief until 2012，died on March 3 at the age of 92 this year.
Marianne believed that "only the best of the best is good enough for the young." In Cricket，children would find wonderful stories with beautiful art，and be encouraged by ideas in the humanities and sciences.Marianne looked for stories from around the world to awaken admiration for different peoples and cultures.Most importantly，Cricket would never talk down to children.
Marianne knew that children were filled with fun，and she wanted Cricket to be，too."Humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loudly." And so，she named her literary magazines after a funny group of bugs，such as Lady bung and Spider.
Over the years，Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start.Marianne kept a special box of "love letters" to the magazine.She treasured these letters from Crickel readers，including long ago readers.They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.
▲She considered other names，such as Troubadour or Taliesin，the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories.Then one night，she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer's memoir A Day of Pleasure about his childhood in Warsaw.In it he wrote： "There was a stove in Shosha's apartment behind which there lived a cricket.It chirped the nights through all winter long.I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end." That's exactly what Marianne wanted her children's magazine to do- to tell stories that would never end!So，the name Cricker became her best choice.

249．According to a recent report，about 15% of the people in the UK are members of gyms.But are they more likely to be fit？
A study found that gym members were 14 times more active than people who didn't belong to any health club.Gym members did six hours more exercise a week，and this activity did make them fitter than non- gym members.They also spent less time sitting down every day than non- gym members.The results were the same for men and women.
The study included 405 people between the ages of 30 and 64，and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not. "But gym members did more training than non-gym members，" said the lead author，Elizabeth Schroeder of the University of Illinois.While it might seem clear that gym members exercise more and are healthier than non-gym members，Schroeder says this has not been directly shown before.However，the study is only designed to show a tie between gym membership and more exercise.It may be that active people like to join gyms.In the study，people who exercised as much as gym members were also in good health.
You can get the same benefits wherever you exercise.This study shows a gym membership can make you do more exercise，but other research shows that exercising outside has other help.Outdoor activity can make you feel happy about life，especially if you run through a forest.
Outdoor exercise is also more interesting than going to the gym.The first five minutes of outdoor exercise is especially helpful in making people feel good.But Schroeder says that a gym may also encourage greater exercise because it can be social and fun.
（1）What did the new study find out？
A．British people are crazy about the gym.
B．Gym exercise is better than outdoor exercise.
C．Gym membership can make us healthier.
D．Gym is necessary for our daily life.
（2）In the study，researchers studied.
A．people between aged 30 and 64
B．the same number of men and women
C．405 gym members
D．people with the same characteristics
（3）The study is aimed to build a tie between and .
A．a(chǎn)ctive people；more gym exercise
B．more exercise；health
C．gym membership；more exercise
D．happiness；more exercise
（4）Which statement will Elizabeth Schroeder agree with？
A．Women should do more gym exercise.
B．We should be careful with outdoor training.
C．Outdoor exercise is better than gym exercise.
D．We may make great exercise if we go to the gym.發(fā)布：2025/1/5 9:30:5組卷：2引用：1難度：0.2250．Educational technology such as apps can help students with time management，organization skills，study skills，homework and more.Below is a list of apps for college students recommended by educational technology experts.The needs of individual students differ and experts suggest that students try out several apps to find the right one.Unless costs are noted in the app descriptions below，these learning tools are free to users：
