学科网（北京）股份有限公司Adventurers, grab your passports because there's nothing relaxingabout these holiday spots.
HalfDome,Yosemite National Park,USA
The 1500-metre climb to the top of Half Dome is the most difficult of Yosemite Valley's day
hikes, and it's thelast 120meters that are themost dangerous. While there are ladder-like metal cables
（缆绳）to help you reach the summit without rock climbing equipment，falling off them could be
deadly.
CliffsofMoher, Ireland
With breathtaking views of the Aran Islands and Galway Bay, the Cliffs of Moher is one of
Ireland's most popular tourist attractions. However, it's also one of the most dangerous,and one
misstep at the edge could result in a 213-metre fall into the Atlantic. The safest way to experience the
beauty of thecliffs is from theofficial path or oneof threeviewing platforms.
MountEverest, Nepal
Visiting Mount Everest attracts around 1200 climbers each year. However, only about half ever
reach the summit, and a few will die trying, according to the New York Times. By now,there have
been 304deaths, according toalanarnette.com.
TriftBridge,Switzerland

Nadine Grimm's A Grammar of Gyeli opens with a moving quote honoring ancestors:“For our
ancestors who have left us-may we keep their wisdom." This sets the tone for her study of the Gyeli
languageinNgòló,asmall village in southern Cameroon, rich inculture and hidden knowledge.
In her prize-winning work, Grimm displays the essence of the Gyeli language, spoken by the
Bagyeli people, who are sometimes called “Pygmies." The grammatical description,which is
presented in a form-to-function approach, covers all levels of language, ranging from Gyeli speech
soundsto its information structureand complex sentences
Her path to studying African languages began by chance during her Bachelor's degree in
General Linguistics and French. She had an unexpected opportunity to work with a professor in
Nigeria,which led to her first African language conference and started her interest in African
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司languages.
Grimm's research includes deep fieldwork, such as recording conversations and joining in
everyday activities with the Bagyeli. At first, she used assistants to communicate due to language
barriers, butas herunderstanding grew, shebegan talking directly with thespeakers.
This method differs from traditional ones, focusing on real language use rather than simple
word-for-word translations.
The importance of reference grammars like Grimm's becomes clear in light of the global
problem of disappearing languages. With 50-90% of the world's languages at risk,documenting
languages like Gyeli is essential. “When languages die, we lose entire knowledge systems,” Grimm
says.
Her work not only records the Gyeli language but also adds to the understanding of endangered
Bantu languages in general. It represents one of the most comprehensive descriptions of a
northwestern Bantu language.
For her efforts, Grimm was awarded the 2023 Bloomfield Book Award from the Linguistic
Society of America. A single Bloomfield Book award is made annually to recognize "a volume that
makes an outstanding contribution of long-term value to the understanding of language and
linguistics." Grimm's work was praised for adding audio and video recordings that improve reliability
inlanguage research.
24.Why did Grimmwrite AGrammar of Gyeli?
A.Tokeep a knowledge system B. To honorher ancestors.
C.To record the toneofGyeli. D.To satisfy her interest in languages.
25.What doweknow about theGyeli language?
A.It is endangered.
B. It is simpleinstructure.
C.It has tobestudied ina form-to-function approach.
D.It functions differently from other Bantu languages.
26.Why does theauthor mentionBantu languages?
A.Tohighlight theirimportance.
B. To illustratetheproblem of disappearing languages.
C.Toemphasizetheurgencyof protecting them.
D. Todemonstrate the valueofGrimm's study.
27.What contributed most to thesuccess ofGrimm's research?
A.Her work with aprofessor in Nigeria.
B.Her ability inlearning anew language.
C.Herrelationship with theBagyeli people.
D.Her uniqueandreliable research method.

Intensity exercises often get praised for their role in preventing illnesses like high blood
pressure, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes-not to mention their mental health benefits. But there's a
common mistake: the more intense the exercise, the better the benefits. A recent research shows that
4
学科网（北京）股份有限公司low-to-moderate（低到中等的）intensity exercise，such as Zone 2training，maybe just as-or even
more-effective forimproving health and endurance（持久力）.
Exerciseintensity is often broken down into five separate heart rate zones, each representing a
different percentage of your maximum heart rate. Zone 2, which falls between 60 to 70 percent of a
person's maximum heart rate, is " your all-day pace."Theoretically,it's at such a low intensity that
you can keep going and going.
This kind of exercise offers a unique advantage：it＇s just below the lactate threshold（乳酸
阈值）the point where lactate-an essential energy source-builds up in the blood faster than it can be
removed. As exercise intensity increases beyond Zone 2, the body's energy demands shift to favor a
lactate-producing system over alactate-consuming one.At thesehigher intensities，carbohydrate（碳
水化合物）useincreases as arapid fuel sourcewhilefat burning slows down.
Zone 2 exercises can provide a competitive advantage for endurance athletes, as fat is more
readily available as an energy source than sugars. "If you are able to use fat as an energy source
when you are exercising, you are going to reduce your reliance on sugar stores," says Holmer,an
exercise scientist. It also improves endurance by increasing the body's ability to use a more efficient
way for longer periods ofexercise.
For people just starting a fitness routine, Zone 2 training has some additional benefits,the
major one being that it is sustainable. Zone 2 training can be done at a moderate pace, leaving a
person feeling better the next day and ready to go again. In contrast, over-reliance on high-intensity
training can lead to quicker burnout and longer recovery times.“Exercise doesn't have to hurt,"
Holmer says.
28.Howcan we describe "your all-day pace”in paragraph 2?
A.Sustainable. B.Difficult. C.Unchanged. D.Unrealistic.
29.Whichof thefollowing happens when Zone 2training is done?
A.The burning offat slowsdown. B. The useofcarbohydrate is enhanced.
C.Lactate is removed faster than itis builtup. D.The lactate-producing system is favored.
30.Whatis paragraph 4mainly about?
A.HowZone 2training benefits endurance.
B. WhetherZone2training is good toathletes.
C.Whatis used as energy sources forZone 2exercises.
D.Whya moreefficient way is used for Zone 2exercises.
31.What does Holmer suggest starters dobysaying "Exercise doesn't haveto hurt"?
A.Stop doing toomuch Zone 2training. B. Stop doing high-intensity training.
C.Do training at amoderate pace. D.Do less exercise toavoid hurtingthemselves.

“Digital switching＂ is a term refers to the modern habit of swiping（刷）through and
fast-forwarding onlinevideos. Researchers from Canada didsome exploration ofit.
Kay Y.Y.Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself-and pretty
5
学科网（北京）股份有限公司much everyone else-swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the
“Boredom Feedback Model", a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed,is
rooted inattention shifts. These shifts often occur when there's agap between how engaged people
actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a
situationlacks novelty ormeaning.
“As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might
influenceour feelings of boredom," Tam said.
In her study, more than 1,200 participants,many of them university students, first watched a
single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option
to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times -but reported feeling more bored and less
engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another
similarexperiment.
"I'm convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to
have an enjoyable experience," said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology.“Sitting and
toughing itout is likely abetter choice.”
The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a
world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their
phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased
feelings ofboredom.
Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an
activitythat has little to offer. However, ifwe rely too much onquick escapes, itwould be
likean animal jumpingfrom tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree
bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.
32.What isthe cause ofattention shifts according to Tam's theory?
A.Thefeeling ofboredom. B.The unsatisfied desire.
C.Thedegreeof engagement. D.Thelack ofemotion.
33.What does Tam's studyof "digital switching" focus on?
A.Its reason. B.Its consequence. C.Thetheory behindit. D.The solution to it.
34.What isthe main purposeof thelast paragraph?
A. To solvea problem. B. To make asuggestion.
C.Toraise a question. D.To give awarning.
35.Which ofthefollowing is asuitabletitlefor thetext?
A.DigitalSwitching: theEnd ofEndless Boredom
B.Digital Switching: theResult of EndlessBoredom
C.Digital Switching: theTrap of Endless Boredom
D.DigitalSwitching: theRootof Endless Boredom

阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Musicand art have always been closely connected, with each influencing the other inimportant
ways. Artists are increasingly integrating musical elements into their work, creating experiences that
blur（模糊） theboundaries between theauditory and visual senses.
One of the most striking examples of this trend is the rise of "sound art" which explores the
6
学科网（北京）股份有限公司relationship between sound and visual representation. Sound art combinations often involve
large-scale, interactive sound environments. 36 They can create an environment where
theviewer becomes an active participant in theartisticexperience.
37 This integration allows for a dynamic interplay between sound and image. The
live performances add an element of naturalness and unpredictability to the exhibitions, making each
visitauniqueand unrepeatable experience.
Moreover,the use of music in film and video art has also developed. Artists are now
experimenting with soundscapes that extend beyond traditional narrative（叙述）structures，using
musicto arouse emotions andcreate atmosphererather thansimplyunderline plotpoints.
38
Despite these innovations, some artists argue that the integration of music into art can
sometimes have different effects from the primary visual message. 39 They believe
that musicshould serveas acomplemen（t 补充）to thevisualart，enhancing its effect rather than
overshadowing it.
To address this concern, many artists are now focusing on creating a more harmonious
balance between music and visual art. 40 By carefully selecting and integrating
musical elements， they aim to createworks that are bothvisually striking and aurally（听觉上地）
engaging, offering viewers atruly multisensory experience.
A. Theartist dislikes composing original musicfortheartworks.
B. Thisspecial art form often challenges traditional ideas ofstorytelling.
C.Thistrend highlights theimportance offinding theright balance between them.
D.These connections often usetechnology totransform sound ininnovative ways.
E. Another notabledevelopment is theintegration oflivemusic intoart exhibitions.
F.Instead,this does notmean that musicshould always give way to visual art.
G. Critics havewarned that theoveruse ofmusiccan strongly impact theviewer's senses.

Mrs. Thompson, a retired teacher, was well-known for her insightful advice and genuine
willingness to help others. Many high school students often turned to her for guidance and as her
neighbor, meincluded.
One afternoon, feeling troubled and uncertain about my future after a disappointing exam,I
decided toknock onMrs. Thompson's door.
"I don't know what I'm doing with my life," I admitted, my eyes fixed on the floor.“It feels like
everyone else has it all figured out, and I'm just stuck." My voice trembled with sadness and a hint of
fear.
I had bombed my last math test, and it felt like that failure stayed in every corner of my mind,
increasing my anxiety about college examination and what I might want to pursue. While my friends
seemed to advance effortlessly through their studies, I was struggling to stay afloat.The feeling that I
was fallingbehind onlydeepened mysense ofhopelessness.
Mrs. Thompson listened carefully, her face a picture of calm and understanding.Without saying
much， she handed me asmall tomato seedling（苗） in apot. Thetinyplant，with itsdelicate green
leaves, seemed tosymbolize aslight sign ofhope.
"Let's plant this in the garden," she said gently. “Water it every day and make sure it gets
enough sunlight. But for awholeweek, don't focus onitsprogress. Just trustthat it's growing."
Every day, I faithfully watered the little seedling, as if I was putting my own hopes into it.I
carefully ensured it got the right amount of sunlight, positioning it just so under the sun's rays.With
great self-control, I resisted the urge to examine it too closely. As the days went by, I felt a mix of
eagerness and impatience, like a child waiting for a long-promised gift,longing to see some sign that
my efforts were making adifference.
