The “Father of the National Park System,” John Muir was an influential writer, naturalist,
and environmentalist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1838 in Dunbar,
Scotland, he moved to the United States with his family and was attracted by the land. He was
a prize-winning inventor, but it’s his love for wild places and absolute devotion to protecting
them that we remember him for.
As a young man, he explored the North American continent by foot, walking thousands of
miles until he eventually settled in California. There, he fell in love with Yosemite Valley and the
Sierra Nevada Mountains. His article series, “Studies in the Sierra,” put his name on the map and
launched a prolific writing career, with over 300 articles and 10 books published. A true mountainman, he encouraged everyone to “climb the mountains and get their good tidings”.
His writings inspired presidents, congressmen, and average citizens to care about nature. In
1890, due in large part to a series of articles he published in Century magazine, U.S. Congress
created Yosemite National Park. Muir was also involved in the creation of the Sequoia, Mount
Rainier, Petrified Forest, and Grand Canyon National Parks, thus earning his title.
But his work didn’t stop there: in 1892, Muir and his supporters founded the Sierra Club to
“do something for wildness and make the mountains glad.” In 1901, he published the book “Our
National Parks” and caught the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt, who visited him at
Yosemite. During that visit, they laid the foundation of Roosevelt’s groundbreaking protection
programs.
Muir died in 1914, but his memory lives on, continuing to inspire new generations of
environmentalist everywhere.
24. Which can best explain the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2?
A. High-paying. B. Normal. C. Full-time. D. Productive.
25. What contributed to Muir’s writing career?
A. His love for wild places. B. His work as an environmentalist.
C. His devotion to national parks. D. His exploration of American continents.
26. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. Muir’s articles earned him his title.
B. Muir appealed for the protection of national parks.
C. Muir inspired people to visit national parks.
D. Muir’s articles had an influence on official decision.
27. Which words can best describe Muir?
A. Adventurous and committed. B. Determined and humorous.
C. Honest and courageous. D. Generous and inspirational.
C
An experimental pair of gloves isn’t particularly fashionable or useful for keeping anyone’s
hands warm. Instead the gloves use tactile(触觉的) sensors woven into its fabric to serve an
entirely different purpose: teaching piano and other hands-on skills.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate student Yiyue Luo and her colleagues created
these “smart gloves” using tactile technology, which includes physical sensations such as
vibrations(震动) or force to help with tactile activities. Researchers used the gloves to record one
pianist’s hand movements while playing a song. They then relayed those movements to a student
through fingertip vibrations, helping the learner build muscle memory and perform the piece withgreater accuracy. “Hand-based movements like piano playing are normally really subjective and
difficult to record and transfer,” Luo says. “But with these gloves we are actually able to track one
person’s touch experience and share it with another person to improve their tactile learning
process.”
Using a computerized embroidery(刺绣) machine, the team fixed small wires linked to a
pressure-sensing material in the gloves to detect hand motions. When a piano teacher wearing the
gloves repeatedly performed a tune, a machine-learning algorithm(运算法则) processed their
movement on the keys and translated it into instructional vibrations. Students wearing their own
gloves then attempted to play the same tune, with the fingertip vibrations guiding them through
proper movements. By the trials’ end, students who had practiced with the gloves could play more
accurately than those who had not.
The team also tested the gloves’ ability to aid people playing online games with a mouse and
keyboard, recording motions from experienced players to guide green hands. People who gamed
with the gloves’ guidance scored better on average than those who did not.
Playing piano or video games is often just for fun, but Luo adds that with an improved
algorithm, coded to identify and catch finer hand movements, the new glove technology could
someday help to teach crucial practices such as medical operations.
28. In which practice can the smart gloves be unavailable?
A. Playing the guitar. B. Singing songs.
C. Teaching sign language. D. Typing on a keyboard.
29. What is the function of the pressure-sensing material?
A. To record songs.
B. To translate tunes.
C. To keep hands warm.
D. To monitor hand movements.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The gloves are designed for fun.
B. The gloves have been put into use.
C. The gloves can be used to identify codes.
D. The gloves will be used in more fields.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. An introduction to a promising technology.
B. An advertisement of a new product.
C. An approach to teaching piano.D. An instruction for a computerized machine.
D
In an era when online misinformation is seemingly everywhere and objective facts are often
in argument, UC Berkeley psychologists in a new study have presented a somewhat contradictory
partial solution: Expose young children to more misinformation online—not less.
Orticio, a Ph.D. student in UC Berkeley’s Department of Psychology, and his colleagues
used a pair of experiments involving 122 children aged four to seven to test how their level
of skepticism(怀疑) changed in different online environments.
The first study exposed them to an e-book with varying degrees of true and false statements
about animals. Next to a picture of a zebra, for example, some children were shown truths like
that zebras had black and white stripes. Others were shown falsehoods about zebras being red
and green. Based on that information, they indicated whether the claims were true or false. A
second study simulated(模拟) search engine results and posed similar animal facts and
fictions.
Next, children evaluated the truth of a new claim within that same digital context, this
time about an alien species called Zorpies. On a screen were images of 20 so-called Zorpies.
One of the alien’s faces showed that it had three eyes; the rest of the Zorpies wore dark
sunglasses that covered their eyes. Children were then asked to decide whether all Zorpies
had three eyes. But before making their final decision, participants were allowed to fact-check
the claim by tapping any number of the aliens, removing their sunglasses and revealing their
eyes. Since children knew nothing about the aliens, their skepticism could only come from
their assessment of how reliable this digital platform was.
Researchers found that the children who were the most hardworking about fact-checking
the Zorpies claims were also the ones who saw more false claims about animals earlier in the
study. Meanwhile, those who had more reliable environments with fewer false claims earlier
in the study did almost no fact-checking. A computer simulation confirmed that the children
in the more unreliable environments were more likely to reveal potential misinformation.
32. What do psychologists recommend to help children deal with online misinformation?
A. To leave them in a less protected information environment.
B. To help them sort out different kinds of information.
C. To require them to collect some useful information.
D. To help them develop the ability of the critical thinking.
33. Who will be more likely to become a good fact-checker?A. The children working harder to make statements.
B. The children seeing more false claims.
C. The children exposed to more digital contexts.
D. The children exposed to more reliable environments.
34. How were the experiments conducted?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By making questionnaires.
C. By analyzing documents.
D. By interviewing participants.
35. What can we learn from the experiments?
A. They were carried out through the same online digital platform.
B. Participants can tap the number of Zorpies to get true information.
C. Participants can remove the sunglasses for reference.
D. They both presented false information to the participants.

Essays are an extended piece of writing that presents an argument or information on
a topic. They can vary in purpose, style and type but they all involve questioning,
assessing and discussing ideas or evidence. Here are four tips on how to write an essay:
introducing your essay, focusing on it structure, using quotes and sources, and ending
with a conclusion.
A good introduction explains the facts that the reader needs to know first. 3 6
Be clear about your aims and always write in the third person. It’s a good idea to begin
your essay using the same style of language as the question, to show you are answering it
directly.
3 7 Paragraphs can help. Start with a “topic sentence” that introduces what the
paragraph is about. At the end, bring your topic to a close so the reader can move on to the
next idea. 38 They connect it to the previous one.
If you used ideas from a book in your essay, you can include snippets(片段) from
it to support your points. These are quotes and have speech marks around them to show
they are not your words. 3 9 For example, “Dr Roberts says, ‘Climate change
is...’”. At the end of the essay, you can list all the books that helped you.In your final paragraph, you should conclude by summarising all your points to
show how you have answered the essay question. You might begin this section with “In
conclusion,” and your tone should be confident. 40
A. You should also share who said it.
B. It helps readers improve their writing skills.
C. To help the reader follow your ideas, you need structure.
D. Writing essays is an unavoidable but fun part of studying lots of subjects.
E. It sums up what the essay will be about and what you are trying to prove.
F. Here you can write in the first person and give your own opinion on the topic.
G. You can use words such as “however” or “furthermore” to start a new paragraph.

Sign language uses hand movements, body language and facial 56 (expression) as
a way to communicate, instead of speaking or writing.
There are around 300 sign languages in the world and the most common in the UK is British
Sign Language (BSL). Like spoken languages, sign languages grow and change over time, often
5 7 (add) new words and phrases.
The first evidence of sign language 5 8 (date) back to the 5th century BC, but historians
believe it may be even 5 9 (old) than spoken language. The earliest known use of sign
language in the UK was recorded at a wedding in 1576, and the first school for deaf children 6 0
(open) in Scotland in 1760. 61 it was widely used, signing wasn’t encouraged until the
1970s and most deaf children were taught spoken 6 2 written language instead.
In 2003, the UK Government 6 3 (official) accepted that BSL was a language in its
own right. Then, in 2022, the law was updated to make BSL 6 4 legally recognised
language of England, Wales and Scotland. Giving BSL this status encourages schools and
workplaces 6 5 (provide) more support for hearing-impaired(听力受损的) pupils, workers
and customers.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Late at night, the hospital was as quiet as a library. The soft hum of fluorescent
lights(荧光灯) and the rhythmic beep of medical equipment created a quiet atmosphere.
Nurses moved silently from room to room, attending to their patients with gentle care. But
suddenly, a wild wolf burst through the doors, breaking the silence. The hallways, usually
filled with soft talking and the beep-beep of machines, were now full of scared noises. People
couldn’t believe their eyes as the wolf turned their safe place into a mess.
Katie, a brave nurse, was there too. She’s always calm in tough times, but even she was
surprised to see a wolf in the hospital. While everyone else ran away, Katie stood still. Her
heart was beating really fast, and her hands were shaking. She was so confused!
But then, Katie saw something strange. The wolf had something in its mouth—it looked
like a tiny animal. This was very odd for a wolf. Katie’s curiosity made her forget her fear.
She really wanted to know what was happening and how she could help.
As soon as people saw the wolf, the hospital’s security team jumped into action. They
told everyone to leave the building calmly. “Go to the nearest exit, please!” they said loudly,
but in a way that made people feel safe. They moved fast, helping everyone get out of the
building without taking any risks. “Stay together and follow me!” they told the crowd, making
sure nobody got lost.
Katie felt her heart beating even faster than before. The sight of the wolf made her want
to find out why and help them. It was a very unusual situation, and she knew she had to do
something.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
