201940. （2023•西安四十八中•一模） Horseback riding might not seem like a typical New York City activity，but one program has several horse farms throughout the city's busy districts.GallopNYC provides lessons to veterans（老兵） and people with disabilities — horseback riding is their therapy（疗法）.
   Olivia Diver visits the GallopNYC location in the Howard Beach neighborhood in Queens.Diver has only been riding horses for a few months，but saye's already felt the benefits.

"
   "CallopNYC has about 1，000 people on is waitlist for lessons，but prioritizes people with disabilities and veterans.We believe that everybody benefits from the time on a horse，so if you want to ride a horse，come on，let's go，" Wilson said.Lessons are ﹩ 55，but the non-profit fundraises to help cover or lower the cost for customers who may need support.

204903. （2022•雁塔二中•高二下期末） A mild-mannered cat by day，at night Rusty was just the opposite.Often，Bill and I would lie in bed quarreling over whether we should let it out to wander in the dark or put up with another sleepless night.
So，instead，we lay in the dark each noisy night and wondered what damage Rusty would do.And always in the morning，if I had forgotten to put the butter in the cupboard，there were marks from a rough，little tongue and once even a paw print.
   Something had to give.Bill looked at me straight in the eyes， " Do it." My reservations were such，however，that it took me several weeks and the loss of nearly a pound of butter to decide we didn't have much choice.
   That night，I put Rusty on his cat bed and patted him a little guiltily on the head.Then I began filling the kitchen sink with about two inches of water.Rusty loved jumping into a damp sink and then tracking water all over the cupboards and across the kitchen floor.According to the article I saved from a website to my folder，cats used to jumping into your sink，but they won't do it again if they jump in and find a couple of inches of water.
   Next，I cleared the cupboards of everything.Then I got out all my metal cookie sheets and a fork to go with each.According to the article，you should support a cookie sheet with a fork.When your cat jumps on the counter，he will knock down the insecurely balanced cookie sheets.What happens next will stop him from doing it a second time.
   Everything in place，I slipped onto our bed quietly，waiting.Suddenly，there came an awfully loud noise of metal.A chain reaction of crashes next.Finally，Rusty rounded the corner in the hall heavily and leaped through our doorway onto the foot of our bed，trembling under our cover.And that was the night Rusty，the Midnight Troublemaker，retired.

205135. （2022•鄠邑区•高一下期末） For the past three decades，Richard Sears，71，has been focusing on one thing：Chinese culture.
    His interest in Chinese language goes back to 1972，when he was a university student. "I had checked across Canada and the US.And I was on my way to Africa，" he says. "I wanted to see the world.But then 1 realized only 7 percent of the world speaks English as a mother tongue.So I wanted to know what it was like to speak another language." Richard bought a one-way ticket to China to learn Chinese.At that time Richard supported himself by teaching English.
    Two years later，he returned to the US to finish his study.He became a researcher after graduation and later worked as a software engineer in Silicon Valley.In 1981 he lost his job.He even had to work on a night job as a guard for several years so that he could study Chinese at night and get some rest during the day. "I didn't earn much，but at least I had time to read Chinese books." he says.At 40，he was already pretty fluent in Chinese.

205041. （2022•莲湖区•高二下期末） As I put down the exercise equipment，my brain tries to focus on what my trainer has said.
   "Describe that to me，" asked Rob.He is looking for an answer that required me to connect my brain to my body.
   Yes，I know.My brain is connected to my body—the thing that has been carrying my head around for the last 56 years.Since completing my undergraduate degree I have been increasingly immobilized by my working life.Sitting still at a desk，staring at a screen，it's mostly through my fingers that I connect to my brain.
   "I felt great，" I reply. "I could feel it in my back." Rob is quick to encourage and set up more weight.Then cheerfully he'll say "okay，next set."
   Every accomplishment in my life has been entered in my head—grades，degrees，promotions，published papers and teaching.But on reflection，I wasn't paying much attention to my body.
   Weightlifting is different.Rob is a trainer and manager at my local gym，my guide in helping me with a single goal—get strong.Despite my age，size and beginner status，Rob has made me feel safe.He is always close by，watching and posing questions.Like "where did you feel that？" or the more general request， "Describe that for me."
   Early on I took these as rote pleasantries.Over time I realized he wanted more than just routine answers.Having shown me how to do an exercise，Rob would encourage me to think about the muscle or chain of muscles as they moved.The questions were a test of that connection.Gradually，I started thinking my way back into my body.Not my body as a whole but as individual，connections to newly identified places.Intentionally.Specifically.Magically.It's surprisingly difficult.
   I am five months into a new way of living with this 56-year-old body.It talks to me in a totally different way now.It reminds me of my capabilities，my muscles calling me to move，demanding to be challenged.And I long to continue this dialogue so that I'm ready the next time Rob says： "Describe that tome."

（1）What can we learn from the third paragraph？
A．The author is allergic to exercise.
B．The author's fingers may be flexible.
C．The author has been living an active life.
D．The author doesn't understand the trainer.
（2）Why did Rob ask the author to describe what she felt？
A．To help her release pressure.
B．To keep her focused on work.
C．To stop the embarrassing atmosphere.
D．To help her feel her muscles working.
（3）What does the underlined phrase "rote pleasantries" in Paragraph 7 probably mean？
