The first time my daughter,Chloe,realized I was leaving on a trip without her,she was
alarmed.“Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?”she cried.I tried to
tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel.But as my husband,Evan,pulled her off
my leg so I could leave,I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
Returning home after a few days away,I felt energized and inspired.Chloe was happy to hear
about my trip.But this was the age of learning about compromises(妥协).As in:“You have to wear acoat,but we'll compromise and you can choose which one.”She told me I could keep going on trips
for work—but we’d compromise:she’d come with me.
When she was six,we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico.I was impressed by how cheerfully
fearless she was when we swam in cenotes(天然井)or dived along a reef.In Fiji,nine-year-old Chloe
was attracted by the compassionate(有同情心的)women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to
become a leader.During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13,she learned how the coin flip of your
birth country can affect your opportunities in life.
When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school
education,it shouldn't have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas.Chloe was
excited when,after months of interviews,she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford
Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.
But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left
behind.Compared to the silly 17-year-old I'd said goodbye to,the 21-year-old woman who came
home from high school in Africa and,later,from university in France,seemed mature and unfamiliar.
24.How did Chloe feel the first time she realized her mum was leaving on a trip without her?
A.Excited. B.Shocked. C.Sad. D.Confused.
25.What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3?
A.Chloe's impression on travel. B.Chloe's joy of travel.
C.Chloe's bravery during her travels. D.Chloe's travel experiences.
26.What did Chloe do for high school education after returning home?
A.Chloe applied for a school in Africa.
B.Chloe got an award in high school.
C.Chloe finished high school in Vancouver.
D.Chloe went on travelling in Southern Africa.
27.What can we draw from the text?
A.All roads lead to Rome. B.Travel shapes a person.
C.Parents are the best teachers. D.Life is like a journey.

Seeing terror films(恐怖电影)is typically a harmless activity.But the fear it generates can cause
the body's fight-or-flight system—releasing chemicals into the body and causing a number ofphysiological responses.
Our body's fear response is actually a fantastic tool for survival in dangerous situations because
it kicks in fast,makes us full of energy,heightens our focus,strengthens our muscles,and gets us ready
to handle whatever is coming at us.It's a built-in survival mechanism,which has been with us since
our ancient ancestors.But even as it helped our ancient ancestors escape from tigers and keeps us out
of harm today,activating the body's fear response isn't always a good thing.If it's initiated too often
with constant stress or frequent jump scares,it can wear our bodies down.
The body's fear response,or fight-or-flight response,always begins in the amygdala—a part of
the brain's system that's critical for recognizing threats and processing emotions.After it detects a
threat,the amygdala sends a distress signal to a command(指挥)centre in the brain,which tells the
nervous system to release hormones and neurotransmitters(荷尔蒙和神经递质).Research shows
that these hormones and neurotransmitters work together to quicken your breathing and to make
your heart send oxygen-rich blood faster to your muscles and vital organs.This prepares the muscles
and brain to rapidly set up a threat response.
Indeed,when stress hormones are released too often or for long periods of time,it can wear your
body down.In some people,it can lead to health issues like high blood pressure,heart problems and
digestive issues,because your body is constantly in“high alarm mode”.
Another consideration is that our immediate biological response to fear is the same whether
we're facing true danger—or something that only appears that way.Overexposure to jump scares can
make you less sensitive to fear.So people who enjoy terror films regularly might not react as
strongly to real danger because their brain gets used to these situations.
28.Why are ancient ancestors mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.To show body's fear response is inborn.
B.To admire their quick response to fear.
C.To show how they survived the scary situations.
D.To introduce the living conditions in ancient days.
29.How is Paragraph 3 developed?
A.By giving examples. B.By defining and comparing.
C.By explaining and analyzing. D.By listing data.
30.Which may be the result of watching terror films frequently?A.Being less sensitive to real danger. B.Doing good to health.
C.Losing interest in other films. D.Getting tired of them.
31.Which might be the best title for the text?
A.Fight or Flight? B.Are Terror Films Harmless?
C.An Extreme Entertainment D.Effects of Fear on Brain and Body
D
Scientists with the BrainGate research centre have developed a breakthrough brain-computer
interface(BCI).The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities
caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS 渐冻症),which leads to the gradual loss
of mobility and speech.It uses implanted(植入的)sensors to interpret brain signals when a user
attempts to speak,turning them into text that is read aloud by a computer.The study,published in the
New England Journal of Medicine on August 14,was led by David Brandman and Sergey
Stavisky,faculty members at UC Davis Health.
ALS,also known as Lou Gehrig's disease,affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement.BCI
technology can restore communication for those affected.In this study,Casey Harrell,a 45-year-old
man with ALS,regained the ability to communicate effectively within minutes of using the
system.Harrell described the experience as life-changing,saying,“My past condition was so
demoralizing.Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped.Something like this
technology will help people get back into life and society.”
The BrainGate clinical trial,led by Dr.Leigh Hochberg from Brown University,has made major
progress in interpreting brain signals to help people with paralysis( 瘫痪)communicate.In July
2023,the UC Davis team implanted a BCI device into Harrell's brain,focusing on the left precentral
gyrus,a part of the brain that controls speech.The system translates brain activity into phonemes(音
素)and words,enabling real-time communication.Harrell's BCI generated speech with a voice similar
to his own, using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed
ALS.This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way.
Over 32 weeks and 248 hours of use,the system achieved remarkable results,with99.6%accuracy
for a 50-word vocabulary in 30 minutes of training and 90.2%accuracy fora 125,000-word
vocabulary after 1.4 additional training hours.“This is game-changing technology,”Brandman
said."It provides hope for people who want to speak but can't."Dr.John Ngai,director of the NIH'sBRAIN Initiative,highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for
individuals locked in by paralysis.
32.What do we know about the BrainGate BCI?
A.It is used to treat speech disabilities.
B.It translates brain signals into speech.
C.It helps people with ALS move and speak.
D.It connects brains to make computers smarter.
33.What does the underlined word“demoralizing”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Discouraging. B.Comforting. C.Demanding. D.Eye-opening.
34.What was the purpose of using Harrell's pre-ALS voice to compose the speech?
A.To enable his communication in real time.
B.To improve the accuracy of speech translation.
C.To help interpret his brain signals more easily.
D.To make his speech emotionally meaningful.
35.What is Dr.John Ngai's attitude towards the BrainGate BCI?
A.Unconcerned. B.Unclear. C.Critical. D.Favourable.

Some people say,“We shouldn't waste money on space exploration when there are so many
problems to deal with here on Earth.”This can be a difficult topic to find your way around,so we've
outlined a few ideas here that you can share when supporting space exploration.
Space spending pays off.
Money spent on NASA positively impacts the U.S.economy. 36 And it creates business
opportunities that feed back into the economy.This in turn grows the pool of public money that can
be spent on solving the world’s most pressing problems.

Studying how we might grow food in orbit or on Mars provides new ideas for growing food in
extreme conditions on Earth.Medical research conducted on the International Space Station helps us
understand the human body in new ways. 38Space is inspiring.
Not every child who dreams of becoming an astronaut will get that opportunity. 39 But to
be inspired to aim for something so amazing gives kids the motivation to study hard in
science,engineering,or other fields. 40 When we are amazed at the beauty of Jupiter's clouds
or the mystery of Enceladus' oceans,we get an opportunity to appreciate the wonder of this planet
that we live on.
A.And inspiration isn't just for kids.
B.Space research directly impacts earthly problems.
C.Spending on space supports highly skilled jobs.
D.And it helps save lives and improve quality of life.
E.Space research isn't as expensive as people think.
F.This is a sad truth that many of us know from experience.
G.But to deal with those problems doesn't mean we have to stop looking up.

I picked up my phone to take a picture of the beautiful scenery.And I got a 41 “Cannot take
photos:There is not enough available 42 to take a photo.”I panicked and 43 went to see
what pictures I could delete.No candidates.So I tried the next best thing:to 4 4 some apps.But it
turned out that all of them were useful.
I was annoyed at myself for not remembering to transfer( 转 存 )my photos the night
before.Before I 45 defeat,I missed many breathtaking views that the tour guide was 46 .I
would probably never get to see them again,and wasn’t I on this trip to see them?I thought back to
the conversation I had with my brother before 47 this trip.My brother suggested I just look at
pictures and videos of Switzerland and save all the money and troubles.And I thought his idea was
48 .How could photos and videos compare to actually going to Switzerland and 49 it?
But wasn't I planning on taking 50 pictures and then looking at Switzerland through a
screen?I was 51 myself from having the experience that I had been looking forward to.So a trip
without taking pictures was actually a blessing.I was 52 to take mental pictures and to
experience Switzerland.Now,a year later,as I continue to share my travel experiences with my friends,I no longer use
pictures. 53 ,I use my unique experiences to create an image in their minds that no 54
could ever match.

The 15th edition of Vivid Sydney,Australia's largest annual celebration of light music,ideas,and
food, 5 6 (light)up the Harbour City under the theme Dream.
From May 23 to June 14,the festival featured more than 200 events across five 57
(creative)designed zones throughout central Sydney.Among them,Chinese artist Yannesi Siu,the first
Chinese artist invited individually 58 (participate)in Vivid Sydney's official programme attracted
attention with two works that combine ancient mythology(神话)with cutting-edge technology.
Yannesi's work,Fly to the Moon,drew 59 (inspire)from the legend of Chang’e,the Chinesemoon goddess.In her interpretation,which used light and motion, 60 the moon symbolized was
not only poetic imagination but also the pursuit of dreams.
Her second work,Telephone,explored how memory,technology,and time interacted.Inside 61
unique and old-fashioned telephone booth( 电话亭 ),visitors could speak into the receiver,and
transform messages into light symbols by AI.This dialogue between past and future was improved
by China's homegrown HDR Vivid ultra-HD visual technology.
“ 62 (root)in the Chinese traditional culture,the piece uses technique to carry meaning,”Siu
said.“I hope audiences can reflect 63 how technology connects us—not just functionally,but
emotionally—across time and space.”
This year,Vivid Sydney covered five unique zones—Circular Quay and The rocks,
Barangaroo,Martin Place and the CBD,Darling Harbour,and The Goods Line and Inner City, 64
visitors enjoyed immersing 6 5 (they)in fantastic experiences over 23nights.

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。More than ten days ago,the weather station warned that a hurricane was on its way to several
inland cities later Friday.Even worse,there might be a strong storm following,according to the latest
weather data cloud map.
Especially,in the region of the United States,hurricanes seem to have become a habit every early
summer.After rain,there is often a hurricane,big or small,and many people have experienced the
power of hurricanes.
In that unforgettable summer,there was a lot of rain and several hurricanes,but fortunately the
power of hurricanes was not as great as imagined.
Temporarily leaving homes was the fastest and safest way to resist hurricanes,and such actions
seemed to become normalized that year,and residents were accustomed to them.However,not
everyone is willing to do so.Especially for those who have limited mobility,sometimes they stay put
with a sense of luck.Karen Lauder is such a person.
When a hurricane hit her hometown,Karen Lauder chose to stay at home because she didn't
believe how strong the storm would be.Karen was 84 years old and depended on a wheelchair to get
around because she was missing a leg.Her son,Johnny Lauder,tried repeatedly to get her to leave,but
she firmly refused this time.She felt that situations like hers were shifting back and forth,and she
couldn't bear it,which also affected her own children.
Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another.They kept in touch with
Karen as the storm continued violently outside,watching the water rising dangerously all around
them.When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom,Johnny knew he had
to take action.
First,Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of.Then,he jumped out of a window
and began to swim.注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
