Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist(气象学家) Margaret
Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been
reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet(预言家).
Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm: “And I said, to remind us that the sun will
shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines
before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The
high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.”
Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had
running water but no electricity. She could handle not having air-conditioner. The trick, she said, was to
take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social
media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr
through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This
dedication earned her great respect from the residents.
Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from
Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and
standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said.
“Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said, “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people
saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This isthe place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I
decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little
girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’”
24. Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as _______.
A. poetic but abstract B. scientific but tricky
C. encouraging and professional D. strange and inaccurate
25. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”?
A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts.
B. She was unable to respond to people’s questions.
C. She needed online resources for air-conditioning.
D. She missed watching news about the hurricane.
26. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather?
A. Watching weather reports on television.
B. Reading books about hurricanes at school.
C. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.
D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world.
B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home.
C. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion.
D. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.
C
Some memories, such as what you had for dinner last night, are easier to recall than others.
However, even forgotten memories could be guiding your actions.
Memory can be defined by what people report, or physically as a circuit of cells and
connections in the brain, known as an engram. It has been thought by many researchers that when you
forget something, the engram disappears. However, research in mice suggests forgotten memories can
persist; they just can’t be consciously recalled.
To see if forgotten memories are detectable in human brains, Tom Willems and his team at the
University of Bern got 40 people to quickly look at 96 pairs of images, made up of a human face and an
object, such as a guitar or a stapler. The researchers then used functional magnetic resonance imaging(磁共振成像) to observe the participants’ brain activity during tests carried out around 30 minutes later
and 24 hours later. The tests asked whether they had seen two images paired up before. The participants
also stated whether they recalled that two images went together, were unsure, or were guessing.
Those who said they could remember chose the correct pairing 87 per cent of the time during both
tests. Those who said they had forgotten got about half right. The participants who were unsure guessed
correctly 57 per cent of the time after 30 minutes and 54 per cent after 24 hours. These results were
slightly higher than would be expected by chance, which suggests this group may actually have
remembered.
When the guessers chose the right answer, the same activation patterns were seen in the right
hippocampal(海马的) region of the brain as in those who remembered, which implies the engrams of
forgotten memories remained and were influencing their choices. In the tests done 24 hours later, the
engrams of memories that people correctly guessed stayed within the hippocampus, while those they
could remember were distributed throughout the neocortex(大脑新皮层).
The work shows there can be a disconnection between the memory we consciously access and the
related engram in the brain. As researcher Amy Milton explains, “Some memories don’t necessarily
need to be consciously retrieved(提取) in order for those memories to influence behaviour.”
28. What does the underlined word “engram” in paragraph 2 probably mean ?
A. A tool used to measure memory. B. The process of forming memory.
C. The feeling of remembering something. D. A network of brain cells storing memory.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Participants and materials. B. Functions of brain scans.
C. Research methods and procedures. D. Causes of forgotten memories.
30. Why did researchers study those who were unsure?
A. To identify inattentive participants.
B. To compare brain activity patterns.
C. To see if guessing reveals hidden memories.
D. To prove that all memories can be recalled.
31. What is the key finding of the study in the passage?
A. Forgotten memories influence behavior unconsciously.
B. All memory traces are stored in the same part of brain.
C. Forgotten memories can be fully recovered with effort.
D. Conscious recall is necessary for memories to affect choices.
D
In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) set an ambitious goal: reduce the globalphysical inactivity rate by 10 percent by 2025. However, despite numerous public health
campaigns and efforts tied to the Olympic Games, people are moving less than ever. The latest
data indicates that 31 percent of adults worldwide aren’t meeting physical activity guidelines, a
5-percentage-point increase from 26 percent in 2010. Among teens, the numbers are worse: 81
percent aren’t moving enough.
So, what went wrong? From public health policy to urban design issues, there are
numerous ways to criticize current strategies. However, some experts are asking a more
fundamental question — have we been promoting physical activity all wrong? For years, public
health campaigns have relied heavily on the “exercise is medicine” narrative to promote
physical activity. We have all heard it time and again: get active if you want to prevent
illnesses like diabetes and heart diseases. It is a message based on strong scientific evidence,
and you would think that the promise of good health is the best possible motivator.
Benjamin Rigby, a UK public health researcher, argues that reducing movement merely as
a way to prevent disease oversimplifies why people choose to be active. “We want to play, to
laugh, to explore, to dance, and feel proud and ultimately, to have fun and feel good,” he says.
A growing number of studies support this idea of shifting the spotlight away from health-
focused narratives. A UK analysis of 123 studies concluded that health reasons aren’t necessarily
what motivate people to get off the couch. The most effective messages highlight the short-term
rewards of being active — like feeling good, reducing stress or having fun with friends — not
the threat of illness.
Solid evidence also shows that people are more likely to stay active when it’s fun.
Enjoyment is linked to young people consistently participating in sports. And remember
Pokémon GO ? That craze has its most engaged users walking an extra 1473 steps a day on
average, just because they were excited to “catch ‘em all”.
Given the evidence, why haven’t public health messages tailored more closely with
motivations centred on enjoyment? While health narratives appeal to institutions, with the next
target of reducing inactivity by 15% by 2030, change is urgently needed.
32. What happened to the global physical inactivity rate between 2010 and 2025?
A. Teen inactivity decreased significantly.
B. Adult inactivity rose from 26% to 31%.
C. The 10% reduction goal was achieved.
D. WHO successfully reduced inactivity rate by 5%.
33. What’s the problem with the current physical activity promotion strategies?
A. They attach little importance to the Olympic Games.B. They focus too much on the urban design issues.
C. They ignore the scientific evidence behind exercise.
D. They rely too much on health benefits as motivation.
34. Why does the author mention “Pokémon GO” in paragraph 5 ?
A. To present a fact. B. To give an example.
C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a concept.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Finding emotion in motion B. Exercise is the best medicine
C. Connecting others through games D. A little movement for better health

阅读下面短文，从短文后的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。
Interrupting another person’s sentence is normally considered as undesirable. However, it is
not always equally impolite. In addition to the hostile(敌意的) takeover of the sentence, which serves
to dominate, there are also friendly, even positive interruptions. 36 And it can give a
conversation momentum(动力). Over 30 years ago, communication scientist Julia A. Goldberg at the
University of Wyoming categorized interruptions into three types — bad, good and neutral.
An interruption in the sense of gaining power almost always happens in front of an audience. And
this is precisely the type of interruption that men tend to use. Sociologists from Princeton University
found that the larger a group is, the more likely it is that men will take the floor. 37 This is
because “speaking time also has an influence on dominance”, says Kotthoff.
38 These interruptions can be used to express interest, for example by asking a quick
question (“Do you mean Mina from 9b?”), commenting on something quickly (“How exciting!”) or
making approving humming noises (“Mmm”). 39 The person speaking feels even more heard
and there is a resonance(共鸣) between the two.
“Of course, even mild interruptions can be unpleasant for the person being interrupted,”
according to communication trainer Jorg Abromeit. For example, when someone asks a question
just as the speaker is about to expand on the important part of their message. Asking questions too
quickly and too often can also be annoying. The situation is similar with the third group of
interruptions, neutral interruptions. They have no deeper meaning. 4 0
Therefore, the key to a successful interruption lies not in the act itself, but in the intention behind it
and how it makes the other person feel.
A. They are neither about power nor about relationship.B. Conversations between people are true works of art.
C. And the more powerful men are, the longer they speak.
D. Interrupting can also be helpful and highly appreciative.
E. Being interrupted while speaking is a common thing to experience.
F. The second type of interruptions, on the other hand, consolidate a relationship.
G. This signals to the other person that you are involved and emotionally engaged.

“I didn’t pick peonies(牡丹).They picked me,” says Kathleen Gagan, owner and founder
of Peony’s Envy display garden in Bernardsville. The garden’s playful name was 41 years ago at
a party, when Gagan enthusiastically announced her 42 to start a peony farm in her backyard. One
of the guests said, “Sounds 43 — I’m sure we’ll all have peonies envy!”
Having 44 lived a dynamic lifestyle working as a consultant and linguist overseas for 15
years, Gagan was happy to 45 back into Bernardsville. In 2002, she planted her first peony crop.
Four years later, she began 4 6 rootstock(根茎) commercially and opened her garden to the 4 7
because she was “eager to build something that others could visit and enjoy.” Today, her property is
home to one of the most extensive 4 8 of peonies in the country.
Gagan, a nationally 49 gardening expert, appreciates the laid-back presence of established
peonies because, 50 other crops, they are easy to maintain. “Before starting my peony garden, I
5 1 at a peach orchard(果园) because deer ate all the trees. Then I tried raising irises, with no
luck,” she says. “Finally, I had success with peonies. 5 2 and rabbits don’t like them, and the
established plants require 5 3 care. Everything you do for them comes back year after year because
it’s a generous plant that 5 4 so much more than it takes.”
Peony’s Envy is open daily from the last Friday in April through the second Sunday in June. To
fully experience all it has to 5 5 , some guests visit weekly. In these blooms, people find a mirror to
life’s simplest wisdom: true beauty asks for little, but gives endlessly.

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。
“Today’s the day, Dad,” Ethan said as he poured cereal(麦片) into a bowl. “I hope I don’t let
the team down.” Ethan was going to be pitching(投球) for the first time. “Oh, you’ll do fine,” Dad
said. “You’ve been practicing for months.”“Do you have time to feed the goats before you leave?” Dad asked. “Sure. I have fifteen
minutes before Justine and her dad pick me up.” “Great. Thank you.” Dad grabbed his car keys.
“I’m sorry I have to leave before you, but Grandma has no other way to get to her appointment with
the doctor. Good luck at the game today.”
Ethan wolfed down his cereal and headed out to the barn(畜棚). As he fed the goats, he tried to
remember all the pitching tips Coach Schultz had given him. Then he spotted their young goat
Zeke opening the gate! Ethan dashed over to stop him from escaping. He was too late.
Zeke bounded toward the field. Oh no! I don’t have time for this, Ethan thought, feeling sweat
break out under his baseball cap. Knowing he couldn’t leave with Zeke on the loose, Ethan quickly
figured out he’d need a bucket of cracked corn to attract the goat and a rope to catch him and lead
him back. By that time, Zeke had disappeared into the trees in the far corner.
A car stopped in the driveway. “Ready to go?” Justine called out her window. “I — I can’t
go right now,” he said. “I have to get our goat back into his barn.” “Can we help?” Justine’s dad
asked. “Thanks, but I don’t think you have time.” Ethan said. “Warm-up starts soon.” “I’ll
come back and help you after I take Justine to the place,” Justine’s dad said. “Thanks.” Ethan tried
to swallow the lump in his throat as he went to get the corn and the rope.
After he had them, he ran back to the trees. But Zeke saw him and rushed off, getting farther
and farther away. Ethan collapsed down on the ground to catch his breath. He knew the team would
be starting their warm-up by now. He wished he could be there with them.
