What does it mean to travel somewhere new and not be able to see it? That question led me on a 10-day journey through northern India with Traveleyes, a British tour company that pairs visually impaired (受损的) travelers and sighted travelers. 

I was paired with Candie, a blind woman from Seattle. “The whole sights thing doesn’t excite me,” she said.“Tell me what people are doing even if it’s just someone sleeping on the sidewalk — that is more interesting to me than, ‘There’s a tree over here with yellow leaves.’” I looked out of the bus window. Along the roadside were hairdressers who’d hung mirrors on trees, shaving customers on low chairs. I told Candie how cars here drive on the left, and how clearly marked road lines were almost universally ignored.

I was beginning to notice how speaking these details aloud made me more observant. Things I might have otherwise overlooked or skimmed past became more visible to me when I put them into words. In naming them, I also saved them into memory. 

We eventually arrived in Ranthambore, one of the best places in India to spot wild tigers. Touring the park in an open-topped bus, we spotted tiger tracks — but no tiger. Admittedly, I was disappointed. Candie wasn’t. Just moving through the wilderness in the open air, she said, holding tight the handlebar, had been exciting enough. 

These words reminded me of the difference between how blind and sighted people experience travel: For sighted travelers, it’s more like watching a film as they tend to rely on immediate visual cues to form quick and vivid impressions. For blind ones, the world reveals itself more slowly, through layers of sound, touch and smell. It’s a more immersive (沉浸式的), interpretive process — just like reading a novel, where the story unfolds through detail and imagination. And the book is often better than the film.

24. Why did the author start his journey?

A. To satisfy his curiosity.B. To spend his vacation.

C. To help disabled people.D. To heighten his senses.

25. What appealed to Candie most during the journey?

A. Traffic rules.B. Local customs.

C. Beautiful scenery.D. People’s activities.

26. How did describing details affect the author?

A. It refreshed his memory.B. It boosted his social skills.

C. It sharpened his perception.D. It encouraged him to speak up.

27. What message is conveyed in the text?

A. Don’t judge a book by its cover.B. Every cloud has a silver lining.

C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Slow tasting reveals true flavor.

C

Cars produced today are essentially smartphones with wheels. For drivers, this means many new features: automatic braking (刹车), turn-by-turn directions, and entertainment systems. But carmakers are getting much more. They’re constantly collecting data from our vehicles, like how much we weigh, how fast we drive, how many children we have and even financial information. But who owns and, finally, controls that data? And what are carmakers doing with it? 

The issue of ownership is not clearly known. Drivers usually sign away their rights to data. It’s not unlike buying a smartphone. The difference is that most customers have no idea that vehicles collect data. We know our smartphones collect data and we’ve come to accept that we trade personal information for convenience. With cars, we have no such expectation. 

What carmakers are doing with the collected data isn’t clear. We know they use it to improve car performance and safety and that they have the ability to sell it to third parties they might choose. The data on your driving habits could be valuable to insurance companies. You may or may not choose to share it with these services. But while you can turn off location data on your cellphone, there is no opt-out feature for your car. 

Carmakers use data to warn us when something needs repair or when our cars need to be taken in for service. For almost a century, car owners have been able to take their vehicles to whichever shop they trust for maintenance and repair. That may be changing. When carmakers control the data, they can choose which service centers receive our information. They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships (经销商) than with independent repair shops which could have an advantage in price and convenience. 

It is clear that because of its value — as high as 750 billion dollars by 2030 — carmakers are unlikely to release control of the data collected from our vehicles. Policymakers, however, have the chance to give drivers control — not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people who want to see it. This will let car owners maintain what they’ve had for a century: the right to decide who fixes their cars.

28. How is paragraph 2 developed?

A. By expressing ideas.B. By giving examples.

C. By exploring reasons.D. By making comparisons.

29. What does the underlined part “opt-out feature” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. A useful tool.B. A special part.

C. A function to stop something.D. A way to start something.

30. What might happen if carmakers control users’ data?

A. More repair shops will appear.

B. Carmakers will offer more repair shops.

C. Users will spend more on car maintenance.

D. Independent repair shops will earn higher profits.

31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vehicle data control?

A. Policies may help drivers gain control of their data.

B. Car owners will release control over their vehicle data.

C. Drivers should realize the value of their personal data.

D. Carmakers may share vehicle data with drivers in no way.

D

Imagine it’s Saturday morning. You’re relaxing when your best friend texts, “Could you help me move today?” You sigh — there go your weekend plans — but reply, “Of course.” A week later, a coworker you barely know asks for a hand. This time, you hesitate. Psychologists call this tendency “social discounting”: our generosity declines as social distance increases.

But what happens in the brain during these decisions? A small region called the basolateral amygdala (BLA) plays a key role. It helps us balance self-interest with social intentions by assigning value to both our own well-being and that of others.

To test this, researchers studied individuals in South Africa with Urbach-Wiethe disease, a rare genetic condition that damages the BLA. They compared five women with this disease to 16 healthy participants in a social discounting task. Each person listed eight people, ranging from their closest friend to a complete stranger, and decided how much money to share with each.

As expected, all participants gave more to close contacts. Interestingly, those with BLA damage were less generous overall, and their generosity decreased more sharply as social distance increased. These differences could not be explained by personality or empathy levels.

The findings suggest the BLA helps people create a “model” of the social world to guide decision-making. An unharmed BLA allows us to consider social context and rules when deciding whether to be generous. Without it, individuals may rely on a “standard” strategy, unless the receiver is emotionally very close, in which case helping remains automatic.

Generosity is therefore not an all-or-nothing trait; it is a model-based social behavior, shaped by how close we feel to the receiver of help. And deep in the brain, the basolateral amygdala is helping us do that calculation.

32. Why does the author describe the “moving-day dilemma” in paragraph 1?

A. To illustrate how social discounting works.

B. To argue people should treat others equally.

C. To show generosity is mainly driven by emotions.

D. To suggest a conflict between self and others’ interest.

33. What do researchers try to show by comparing the two groups?

A. The risk of the Urbach-Wiethe disease.

B. The BLA’s role in social decision-making.

C. The difference in participants’ social network.

D. The personality’s influence on social discounting.

34. What can be inferred from the findings in social decision-making?

A. People with Urbach-Wiethe are more generous.

B. BLA damage leads to complete loss of generosity.

C. BLA allows individuals to weigh social information.

D. Personality can potentially affect BLA-harmed people.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. The Brain’s Role: How We Balance Choices.

B. The BLA: A Hidden Guide to Social Behavior.

C. Social Discounting: Why We Help Our Friends.

D. Urbach-Wiethe Disease: A Rare Genetic Condition.

Hiking has been gaining rapid popularity in recent years. From 2018 to 2021, the number of Americans hitting the trails increased from around 48 million to 59 million. 36

Hiking offers all the cardiovascular (心血管的)benefits of walking. 37the uneven trails strengthen legs and muscles more effectively than walking on flat surfaces. This in turn improves balance and stability, making hiking a full-body workout. 

38Spending time in nature and experiencing awe-inspiring landscapes can reduce stress and anxiety. A 2015 study found that people who walked in nature for 90 minutes were less likely to suffer from depression — compared to those who walked in urban environments. 

However, hiking does carry some risks. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, it’s important to take a few simple precautions. If you’re a new hiker, go with a friend or join a local group. 39Remember: The point is to be able to see the views and smell the flowers. 

In conclusion, hiking is more than just exercise. 40By following basic safety guidelines, hikers can ensure they return home safe and ready for their next adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a beginner, the trails offer something for everyone.

A. Tie your boots and start exploring.

B. Hiking also promotes mental well-being.

C. But its advantages go further than heart health.

D. Push yourself harder and faster through challenging trails.

E. It’s a well-rounded activity that benefits both the body and mind.

F. Always inform someone of your plans and check in with them afterward.

G. This growth reflects hiking’s appeal as a way to stay active and connect with nature.

Catherine the Great set out to define Russia as an extremely important power in Europe. Her rule remained stable until 1768, when something began to threaten her people and her position — an ancient disease named smallpox. 

By the 18th century, smallpox 56(become) particularly deadly. One in five people who caught it died. It was particularly dangerous for children, so parents would be advised not to count their children unless they survived smallpox. There was absolutely nothing that could be done. People tried keeping patients hot to sweat 57disease out or even bleeding them, neither of 58did any good. 

Since the 16th century, there had been inoculation 59(practise) widely in China, the Middle East and Turkey. It involved a person 60(give) a controlled dose (剂量) of the disease. A tiny drop of pus (脓液) from the spots of someone with the disease 61(collect). Then the live virus was put into a cut on the arm of the healthy person. 

In 1767, a British doctor named Dimsdale published an instruction manual and introduced his way of safe inoculation, 62he received little support in his own country. And that’s how he came to the attention of Catherine the Great. In the 1760s, inoculation wasn’t a common practice in Russia, a land where there was “enormous distrust” against it. Catherine made the brave decision to experiment with treatment first. She put her faith in science and her life in the hands of Dimsdale, calling for him in 1768 63(treat) her and her family. 

Catherine’s inoculation went so well that her experience encouraged her people to get inoculated, too. Indeed, her first experiment demonstrated great 64(resolve) and firmness of her mind. To her people, she projected an image of herself 65a caring ruler. She was remembered for advancing public health in Russia and saving millions of lives.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Our school’s annual Science Fair was approaching, and every class was busy preparing their exhibits. As the class monitor, I was eager to make ours stand out. My initial proposal was a smart-home display featuring programmed lights. However, Leo, my best friend, tasked with materials, advocated for a more engaging concept — a giant model of the human digestive passage constructed from recycled bottles and colored water. 

I objected, arguing it was too childish for senior students. Leo did not give in, insisting that serious projects often lacked appeal. I eventually yielded, primarily because most classmates supported his idea. By Friday afternoon, the “Digestive Wonder” occupied a corner of the classroom. Transparent bottles linked by rubber tubes stretched across three desks. Saturday morning saw Leo pouring bright green liquid into the top of the model. Some bubbles surfaced, causing comments that the model appeared remarkably lifelike. 

Then, disaster struck. Minutes before the opening ceremony, I spotted a small puddle beneath the table. A loose connection was letting the green liquid out onto the floor. Worse still, the principal and several parents were drawing near. My heart pounded. Without hesitation, I grabbed paper towels to cover the leak and signaled Leo to lean the model back. The flow slowed down, yet the damage could not be undone. The central section collapsed, sending a fresh wave of liquid toward the table’s edge. 

Leo’s face turned extremely pale. He whispered that we were in big trouble. I opened my mouth to criticize his workmanship, but the words got stuck in my throat. Observing the chaos and his trembling hands, I hesitated. Suddenly, laughter erupted from the crowd. Mr. Jenkins, the biology teacher, pointed at the spill, saying that it looked exceptionally real before winking at us. The tension eased, and Leo managed a weak smile. Nevertheless, as visitors approached, urgent action was required. The model continued to drip, leaving the educational display soaking wet. I caught Leo’s eye and nodded toward the storage closet containing spare materials.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Gathering my courage, I signaled to Leo, determining to repair the damage together.

By noon, our stand boasted the longest queue in the hallway.

Dear Jim, 

Having visited the newly-launched exhibition When Intangible Cultural Heritage Meets VR in our provincial museum this summer, I’m thrilled to share its highlights and my reflections with you. 

The exhibition stands out for the perfect integration of VR technology and traditional folk crafts. With immersive VR headsets, visitors are transported back to ancient times to virtually experience classic handicraft procedures like paper-making and paper-cutting.

Not only does advanced technology revitalize fading cultural heritage, but it also helps youth better inherit traditional culture. Admittedly, adding bilingual guidance would make the exhibition more visitor-friendly, allowing more foreign visitors to appreciate its unique charm. If you have a chance to visit China in the future, this innovative exhibition is absolutely worthy of every minute of your visit. 

Yours,

Li Hua

Gathering my courage, I signaled to Leo, determining to repair the damage together. We rushed to the storage closet and grabbed the spare bottles and tape. While I held the collapsed section steady, Leo worked quickly to reconnect the tubes. Green liquid still dripped onto our sleeves, but neither of us cared. “Hold it tighter,” I whispered, my heart pounding as the crowd drew nearer. Leo nodded, his earlier fear replaced by focus. Within minutes, the model was stable again, though wet marks covered the table. We managed a quick clean-up just as the first group of students arrived. Seeing their curious smiles, I knew we had bought ourselves a second chance. 

By noon, our stand boasted the longest queue in the hallway. Surprisingly, the wet marks and repaired joints became the highlight of our exhibit. Whenever visitors asked about the green stains, Mr. Jenkins would smile and explain that science could be messy but real. Leo seized the moment, launching into lively descriptions of how the digestive system worked. I handed out leaflets, feeling a surge of pride as cameras flashed. Later, as the crowd thinned, Leo tapped me gently. “Guess childish projects aren’t so bad after all,” he joked. I laughed, realizing that true success lies not in flawless plans, but in embracing unexpected challenges together.
