An aggressive sea otter （海獭） in California is hassling locals by riding boards she
stole from surfers in Steamer Lane which is nestled along the rocky shores of Santa Cruz.
Videos across social media show the otter hoisting herself out of the ocean and onto
boards while surfers sit back in awe. At times she's chewed on the boards or forced
surfers to surrender their boards. Onlookers in the videos can be heard laughing at surfers'
misfortune, but officials with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service （USFWS） say the otter
poses a public safety risk. While there have been no confirmed reports of injury, due to
the highly unusual behavior of this otter, surfers and others recreating in the area should
not approach the otter or encourage the otter's interactions, the USFWS said in a statement.
They said the otter's behavior is concerning and unusual, and though the exact cause is un-
known, officials said it could be associated with hormonal （激素的） surges or being fed
by humans.
Southern sea otters are protected under the Marine Mammal Act as well as California's
coastal ecosystems. A team from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW）
and the Monterey Bay Aquarium is looking for the otter to catch and rehome her.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Unfortunately once the otter is caught, Monterey Bay Aquarium spokesperson Kevin Connor
told NPR, she won't be able to return to the wild.
The otter was born in captivity because her mother had also been too friendly with
humans and then successfully released into the wild in June 2020. It wasn't until September
2022 that she started exhibiting her strange behavior at Steamer Lane. At the time, CDFW
and aquarium staff were able to drive the animal out of the area in hopes of preventing
her from interacting with people. But her most recent interactions showed she's no longer
afraid of humans, Connor said. "Trying to recapture the otter is an effort to avoid anything
more severe. If the otter were to harm people, the USFWS would have to begin discus-
sions of euthanizing （使安乐死） the animal, " Connor said. “That's the reality, and no-
body wants to see that. " Once caught, she will be taken to the aquarium for an exam be-
fore being moved into her forever home at the USFWS-approved location.
24. What does the underlined word "surrender" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Abandon. B. Preserve. C. Destroy. D. Employ.
25. How should the surfers treat the otter according to the USFWS?
A. They should ignore her.
B. They should drive her to leave.
C. They should feed and protect her.
D. They should keep distance from her.
26. What can be learned according to Kevin Connor?
A. The CDFW will kill the otter if she causes injuries.
B. The USFWS will take the otter back to her mother.
C. The otter will be kept in the hospital after an examination.
D. The otter will be released to a certain location once caught.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A sea otter is bullying the surfers.
B. Southern sea otters are in need of protection.
C. The unusual behaviors of an otter are under study.
D. A discussion of euthanizing an otter is in process.
C
学科网（北京）股份有限公司People who fit an entire week's recommended exercise into a couple of days have a
similarly low risk of heart disease and stroke as those who spread out their physical
activities, researchers say. The results from a major study on "weekend warriors" against
more regular exercisers suggest that even when people are too busy to exercise in the
working week, making up for the inactivity at the weekend can still improve cardiovascular
（心血管的） health.
“Our findings suggest that efforts to improve physical activity, even if concentrated
within one or two days of the week, should be beneficial for cardiovascular risk, said Dr.
Patrick Ellinor, a cardiologist at Massachusetts general hospital in Boston, "It appears that it
is the total volume of activity, rather than the pattern, that matters most. "
Public health guidelines recommend that adults do at least 150 minutes of moderate
intensity activity every week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity. But it has been
unclear whether the same benefits come from concentrated exercise or more regular, spread-
out physical activity. The researchers analyzed medical records for nearly 90, 000 people
enrolled in the UK Biobank project. All wore wrist-mounted accelerometers that recorded
their physical activity for a full week.
According to the study, a third of the participants were inactive, meaning they clocked
up less than 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity each week, while 42% were
classed as active weekend warriors, racking up at least 150 minutes, mostly over one or
two days. Nearly a quarter of the individuals spread their exercise out, doing at least 150
minutes over several days.
The team led by Dr. Shaan Khurshid, a cardiologist, found that both concentrated and
spread-out exercise were associated with lower cardiovascular risks compared with inactivity.
The risk of heart attack was 27% lower for weekend warriors and 35% lower for those
who spread their exercise over the week. When the researchers looked at heart failure, the
risk was respectively 38% and 36% lower. The risk of abnormal heart rhythm was 22%
and 19% lower. For stroke, it was 21% and 17% lower.
The researchers now aim to investigate whether such concentrated exercise has similar
benefits on a range of other diseases. "Our results may also motivate future studies of
学科网（北京）股份有限公司physical activities interventions delivered in a concentrated fashion, which may be more
practical and efficient, said Ellinor.
28. What does “weekend warriors" refer to in this passage?
A. People overworking on weekends.
B. People used to working out on weekends.
C. People enjoying entertainment on weekends.
D. People focusing on further studies on weekends.
29. What can we know about the concentrated exercise?
A. It gains in popularity.
B. It is preferred by researchers.
C. It may cause sudden heart failure.
D. It benefits our health as spread-out exercise.
30. Why are the data used in Paragraph 5?
A. To show the findings of Dr. Shaan Khurshid's team.
B. To defend the opinion that risks can be caused by exercise.
C. To prove regular exercise is better than concentrated exercise.
D. To indicate to readers that more exercise leads to better health.
31. What is Ellinor's attitude towards their research result?
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Conservative.
D
A soundly sleeping brain monitors its surroundings. It also can respond to them with-
out waking, a new study finds. For instance, even in a short sleep during the daytime, a
person's brain can sort words correctly into different categories. This is not the first study to
show that the sleeping mind can do useful work. Two years ago, researchers in Israel
showed the sleeping brain can learn.
Sid Kouider of the National Center for Scientific Research NCSR） in Paris, led the
new study. His team recorded brain signals from people -all wide awake -as they classified
spoken words as either animals or objects. To do that, the participants would push a button
with their right hand when they heard an animal name. Then they'd use their left hand to
push a different button when the word represented some other type of object.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司As each volunteer responded, the researchers tracked their brain activity. They did this
by measuring the participants' brain waves. Such recordings are known as EEGs, a record
of electrical activity in the brain. And those EEGs showed that when an individual was
about to hit the right button, the brain responded differently than when it was going to hit
the left button.
Then each participant nodded off. The researchers again made EEGs recording brain
activity. As this happened, the researchers played recordings of a different set of words.
These showed that the volunteers' brains continued sorting the words into their proper cate-
gories. When a sleeper heard "horse, "the EEGs looked as if that person was preparing to hit
a button with her or his right hand, not the left. Kouider's team reported its findings in
Current Biology.
The new data demonstrate one way in which the brain monitors the outside world dur-
ing sleep. Those results also may help explain why meaningful sounds, such as a baby cry-
ing, a spoken name or a siren （警报） warning, may more easily wake someone than
other sounds do.
32. What does the new study find about a sleeping brain?
A. It can help people to learn.
B. It can send signals to people.
C. It can respond to the surroundings.
D. It can record sounds autonomously.
33. What were the participants asked to do in the study?
A. Track their brain activities in person.
B. Take part in the whole test while sleeping.
C. Repeat the words following the researchers.
D. Identify different words by pushing two buttons.
34. Which is less likely to awake people?
A. Electric current sounds. B. People's names.
C. Babies' crying sounds. D. Alerting signals.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Brains React to Word Types
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. Sleeping Brains Are Listening
C. Meaningful Sounds Do Count
D. Words Are Sorted in Sound Sleep

Flames in kilns （窑） around China _56_ （burn） since the Xia and Shang dynas-
ties. Along the way, porcelain was borm. Porcelain is ceramic made by _57_ （heat） raw
materials, often a mix between China stone and kaolin clay, in a kiln at a temperature as
high as 1, 200 degrees Celsius.
Going through the fire of reinvention at a high temperature presents porcelain _58_-
greater strength, more translucence （半透明） and a feast of colors. Celadon produced in
Longquan, Zhejiang province, a technique passed down for more than 1, 600 years, is a
typical example of craftsmen's _59_ （pursue） of the perfect green glint. It takes 72 steps
to produce Longquan celadon's jade-like green.
Porcelain has also been a carrier for cultural exchanges. Porcelain, along with China's
silk and tea, _60 _（trade） as one of the first products worldwide in ancient times. As
学科网（北京）股份有限公司porcelain travelled around the globe through the ancient Maritime Silk Road, _61_ enjoyed
great popularity among royal families and upper classes in Europe, _62_ were attracted by
these beautiful vessels named after China.
Porcelain began as a _63_ （ practice） utensil （器皿） and evolved into pieces of
art. Even when shattered into pieces and buried deep in mud, cultural values _64_ （at-
tach） to porcelain would never disappear. As _65_ memory that can be felt with both
hands, porcelain is a touchable history.

Two years ago, we'd traded our old life in Sydney to sail around the world. Life on
the water was extremely happy: we were finally free of the 9-to-5 grind and our two chil-
dren enjoyed getting to see the world while being home-schooled. But one day, looking at
the kittens on the dock at a port in Greece, the kids asked, "Can we please have a pet?"
Guy and I were hesitant at first, but after some thought it made sense that living on a
boat would be the best time to welcome an animal into our lives -we would be with it 24/7
and could give it plenty of attention. We decided a dog would be better-suited to sea life.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司After doing some research about what it would take to bring a dog back home to
Australia as we sailed back, I decided a dachshund （腊肠狗） would make the ideal pet.
They were low to the ground, easy to transport, good boat security and loving, intelligent
dogs. Guy hadn't had a little dog before and doubted a little. But my cute photos eventu-
ally worked their magic and we headed to a town in Sicily to meet a breeder who had some
miniature dachshunds. And the minute we laid eyes on the brown pup, we knew she was the
one for us. We called her Pipsqueak-or Pip for short-and welcomed her onto the boat.
The first few days with Pip saw us encounter some rough weather, but she took it all
in her stride （从容应对）. The kids fell in love with her instantly. Pip was never far
from our side, even accompanying us to museums and galleries. Our sails saw us cross the
Atlantic Ocean to the United States, and then we decided to sail home to Australia. But
when COVID-19 hit, it became complicated: we had to get on a flight quickly as borders
around the world were closing fast. Problem was, we couldn't take Pip. After much discus-
sion, Guy and I decided that we would have to leave her with a friend while we flew home.
Handing our dog over was utterly heartbreaking. It'll only be for a couple of weeks, I told
myself.
