He walked ver tward the windw where I was seated. Standing there I culd see he wanted and needed t cry. I tried nt t intrude n his privacy, but he welcmed me in by asking, “Did yu ever say gd-bye t smene knwing it wuld be frever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied.
Saying that brught back memries I had f expressing my lve and appreciatin fr all my Dad had dne fr me. Recgnizing that his days were limited, I tk the time t tell him face t face hw much he meant t me. S I knew what this man was experiencing.
“Frgive me fr asking, but why is this a frever gd-bye?” I asked.
“I am ld and she lives much t far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be fr my funeral,” he said.
“When yu were saying gd-bye I heard yu say, ‘I wish yu enugh. ‘May I ask what that means?”
He began t smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed dwn frm ther generatins. My parents used t say it t everyne. ”He paused fr a mment and lking up as if trying t remember it in detail, he smiled even mre.
“When we said ‘I wish yu enugh’, we were wanting the ther persn t have a life filled with enugh gd things t sustain them, ”he cntinued and then turning tward me, he shared the fllwing as if he were reciting it frm memry.
“I wish yu enugh sun t keep yur attitude bright. I wish yu enugh rain t appreciate the sun mre. I wish yu enugh happiness t keep yur spirit alive.

The vilence f shaking frm an earthquake is usually fcused in the directin the quake is traveling. But a bmerang quake may spread the intense shaking acrss a wider zne. The new study, published tday in the jurnal Nature Gescience, is a majr step tward clearing up the cmplex physics behind bmerang quakes and understanding their ptential damage.
The latest bmerang was recrded near the mid-cean ridge in the Atlantic in 2016. By examining the psitin f the epicenter (震中) and the energy released by each shaking phase, Stephen Hicks, an earthquake seismlgist at the Imperial Cllege Lndn and first authr f the new study, identified what seemed t be tw steps f the quake:The quake initially headed eastward, but then turned back west. “This was weird, ”he says. This secnd leg f the quake mved remarkably quickly, at s-called supershear speeds. The quake unzipped the surface at an estimated 11, 000 miles per hur—fast enugh t dart frm New Yrk t Lndn in 18. 5 minutes, s fast that it caused the gelgic versin f a snic bm.
Hw ften des this happen?A bmerang quake at supershear speeds, as Hicks and his team bserved in the Atlantic, may be a fairly rare type. But wider evidence f bmerang quakes is munting. These back-tracking events have been studied in cmputer mdels as well as simulated in lab experiments. “The thery says that it’s there, but it’s quite difficult t see that [in the real wrld], ”says Hicks. The 2016 earthquake in Kumamt als seems t have ruptured (破裂) in a similar prcess. Fr that event, the initial shake triggered tw ther quakes, ne f which raced backward t partially verlap the initial break.
Understanding when and why these bmerang events happen is vital t grappling with risks earthquakes present. “Studies like this help us understand hw past earthquakes ruptured, hw future earthquakes may rupture, and hw that relates t the ptential impact fr faults (斷層) near ppulated areas, ”says Hicks.
These bmerangs maybe bscured by cnventinal appraches used t analyze quakes, which are based n an assumptin that a quake rushes in ne directin. “Naturally we’re nt lking fr it, we dn’t expect it t exist,” Hicks says. Yet fr earthquakes, it seems, cmplexities might be the nrm rather than the exceptin. As Hicks puts it: “The mre and mre we lk at earthquakes in mre detail, f curse we see stranger things.”
28. A bmerang earthquake differs frm ther quakes because ________.
A. it mves at a super-fast speed
B. it triggers several small quakes
C. it releases immeasurable energy
D. it shakes in tw ppsite directins
29. Frm the passage, we can learn that _________.
A. the cming f the next bmerang can be predicted
B. bmerangs are t cmplex t be fully understd
C. bmerang events are cmmnplace in the real wrld
D. cmmn methds are reliable in analyzing bmerangs
30. What des the underlined phrase “grappling with” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. putting ffB. cping with
C. bringing abutD. fighting against

All ver the wrld, frmal educatin supplies the ecnmy with wrkers wh will increase prductivity t fuel the ecnmic machine. But this machine nw threatens ur very survival. If the entire wrld reaches the levels f cnsumptin seen in high-incme cuntries tday, we’ll need multiple planet Earths t supply the resurces. The absurd (荒謬的) idea f infinite grwth within a finite territry is at the heart f ur ecnmic system.
T keep this machine running, frmal educatin generates ever mre efficient “human capital”. Increasing prductivity metrics (指標(biāo)) rather than the individuality f students drives ur civilizatin’s apprach t schling ur yung peple. Whereas the Sustainable Develpment Gals call fr turning educatin int a frce fr sustainability, the ppsite is ften true: The ways Western scieties have cme t think abut educatin undermine ur ability t deal with the envirnmental crisis. T get thrugh this crisis, we need t cultivate ur imaginatin, nt undermine it.
Grwing up, nne f my schling fstered my ability t imagine a wrld different frm what I saw arund me. Besides, I realize the suppressin (抑制) f children’s imaginatin desn’t take place nly in underresurced cmmunities, but in “elite” institutins that tut “critical thinking”. Schls want t see their graduates succeed, and success is t ften abut maintaining current structures — nt abut reimagining their fundatins.
Essentially, ur educatin systems shape children in the image f artificial intelligence. The perfect “wrker”, AI, cntinually imprves its wn prductivity but desn’t challenge the larger structures within which it perates. It is ne f the great paradxes f ur time that we invest s much int building supercmputers while marginalizing the imaginative ptential f millins f human brains. What’s mre, we even put ur hpe in slving the envirnmental crisis n AI. But AI, like ur ther technlgies, can nly treat the symptms f the envirnmental crisis, nt the causes
Thrughut histry, achievers f great change have relied n their imaginatins t address fundamental flaws in sciety. In my cuntry f birth, cmmunists kept their dreams f demcracy alive fr decades by imagining different futures. In Suth Africa, Nelsn Mandela’s fllwers had t be radical (激進(jìn)的) in their imaginatin t create a visin f a fairer sciety. Imagining demcracy when living under a ttalitarian regime (極權(quán)主義政權(quán)) isn’t that different frm imagining degrwth when living in a wrld f infinite grwth.
The kind f intelligence that Nelsn Mandela and such pssessed was nt artificial. The ability t reimagine the future and disrupt the current situatin remains a distinctly human quality. Unlike AI, children are naturally imaginative and questin the premises f sciety. In my research, I have bserved that yunger children are ften the mst radical in imagining different futures.
As lng as ur imaginatin is curtailed, ideas like degrwth sund utpian (烏托邦的) t many, Cultivating imaginatin means learning frm histry’s disrupters wh made the impssible pssible. Instead f dismissing “childish” ideas abut the wrld’s future, it means seeing inspiratin in children’s imaginatins. In an educatin system that celebrates imaginatin, arts and creativity are as imprtant as math and science. Idealism cexists with pragmatism. The envirnmental crisis is nt a crisis f technlgy r science, it is a crisis f imaginatin. If we let children be ur guides, we might be able t imagine ur way t survival.
31. The authr hpes educatin can play its rle in ________.
A. develping human resurcesB. prmting sustainable develpment
C. increasing prductivityD. maximizing ecnmic grwth
32. Frm the passage, we can learn that _________.
A. imaginatin isn’t well develped in schls
B. AI helps explit the ptential f human brains
C. graduates’ success changes the scial structures
D. AI can address the rt cause f ecnmic crisis
33. Nelsn Mandela is mentined as _________.
A. a success in building a fair sciety
B. a leader wh had a great influence
C. a pineer pssessing the quality f AI
D. an inspiratin t slve scial prblems
34. Accrding t the passage, the authr may agree that _________.
A. children’s imaginatin ensures human’s survival
B. the envirnmental crisis results frm technlgy
C. imaginatin can help slve envirnmental crisis
D. the “childish” ideas will ruin the wrld’s future

What Came First, the Chicken r the Egg?
Chickens are ne f the mst ecnmically imprtant animals in the wrld tday. ___35___, Recent advancements in archaelgical methdlgies have unveiled that numerus bne discveries, nce believed t be evidence f early chickens, actually belng t wild birds.
Nw, in a new publicatin, an internatinal team f archaelgists, histrians, and bimlecular scientists present the earliest clear evidence fr the raising f chickens fr egg prductin. Using eggshell fragments cllected frm 12 archaelgical sites cvering rughly 1500 years, the researchers shw that chickens were widely raised in Central Asia frm apprximately 400 BCE t 1000 CE and were likely spread alng the ancient Silk Rad. ___36___. It was this trait f prductive egg laying, the researchers argue, that made the dmestic chicken s attractive t ancient peples
___37___. They cllected tens f thusands f eggshell fragments frm sites lcated alng the main Central Asian crridr f the Silk Rad. They then used a methd f bimlecular analysis called ZMS t identify the surce f the eggs. The identificatin f these shell fragments as chickens, and their abundance at each site, led the researchers t an imprtant cnclusin. ___38___ . In the wild, this kind f bird nests nce per year and typically lays six eggs per clutch (窩). This is the earliest evidence fr the lss f seasnal egg laying yet identified in the archaelgical recrd. Meanwhile, it is an imprtant clue fr better understanding the mutualistic (共生的) relatinships between humans and animals that resulted in dmesticatin
Taken tgether, the new study suggests an answer t the age-ld riddle f the chicken and the egg. ___39___.
A. T reach these cnclusins, the team did a lt f wrk.
B. The abundance f eggshells further suggests that the birds were laying ut f seasn.
C. Yet, the stry f hw they riginated and spread thrughut the ancient wrld remains largely unclear.
D. Research shws chickens were bred thrughut suthern Central Asia, and were spread alng the ancient Silk Rad.
E. The birds must have been laying mre frequently than their wild ancestr, the red jungle fwl
F. They argue that the lss f seasnal egg laying was the main drive fr the spread f dmestic chickens acrss Eurasia and nrtheast Africa
G. As the evidence in Central Asia suggests, the ability t lay a large number f eggs is what made the chicken the chicken we knw tday.

What We Really Knw Abut ASMR
If yu spend time n YuTube r TikTk, yu may have cme acrss vides f smene whispering int a micrphne, carefully slicing stacks f slime, r slwly ripping strips f paper. These vides are designed t trigger an autnmus sensry meridian (經(jīng)絡(luò)) respnse, r ASMR, a pleasant feeling that travels frm the tp f the head dwn the back f the neck t the upper spine.
Watching vides that trigger ASMR is thught t lead t psitive respnses thrughut the bdy including enhanced md, relaxatin, and even pain relief. But can yu really achieve these benefits just by watching a shrt vide?A systematic review published seeks t answer that questin. German researchers cmbined the data frm 54 studies t better help us understand ASMR and its effects.
But first, where did this idea cme frm?There are references t feelings similar t ASMR in classic literature dating back t the early 1900s. The cntemprary definitins f ASMR sprang frm a discussin frum n a health-fcused website in2007. A YuTuber named Jennifer Allen cined the term in 2010.
Based n the previus studies, the researchers cncluded that examples f triggers include whispering, tapping, and natural sunds, and it is imprtant t nte that specific triggers f ASMR and the intensity f the respnse vary widely by individuals. They als explred its benefits. Clear evidence shws that ASMR can reduce stress and anxiety. Data als shws that it can imprve shrt-term memry. In specific cases, participants watching ASMR vides had lwer heart rates and bld pressure, physical signals f relaxatin. In additin, they fund that ASMR triggers brain activity patterns assciated with relaxatin and stress relief.
Despite the encuraging results, the authrs nted that many f the ASMR studies had small sample sizes and a lack f diversity amng participants; mre research is needed t truly understand the impacts f ASMR.
Luckily, it’s true that watching sensry vides f peple brushing their hair, whispering, and making sft repetitive nises can lead t relaxatin and stress relief. The best thing abut ASMR is that there are minimal side effects. S if yu’re feeling anxius r stressed, it might be wrth watching a few minutes f ASMR vides t see if they help!
40. What is an autnmus sensry meridian respnse (ASMR)?
_____________________________________
41. Accrding t the studies, what benefits can ASMR bring us?
_____________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
>Althugh triggers f ASMR are different, they may cause reactins f similar intensity amng different peple.

43. Besides watching ASMR vides, what else d yu d when feeling anxius r stressed?

【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了“回旋鏢地震”的研究進(jìn)展和潛在危害。這種地震的特點(diǎn)是在傳播過(guò)程中會(huì)改變方向,產(chǎn)生更廣泛的強(qiáng)烈震動(dòng)。
【28題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“The vilence f shaking frm an earthquake is usually fcused in the directin the quake is traveling. But a bmerang quake may spread the intense shaking acrss a wider zne. (地震產(chǎn)生的強(qiáng)烈震動(dòng)通常集中在地震傳播的方向上。但回旋鏢地震可能會(huì)將強(qiáng)烈的震動(dòng)擴(kuò)散到更大的區(qū)域。)”同時(shí)根據(jù)第二段中“By examining the psitin f the epicenter(震中)and the energy released by each shaking phase, Stephen Hicks, an earthquake seismlgist at the Imperial Cllege Lndn and first authr f the new study, identified what seemed t be tw steps f the quake:The quake initially headed eastward, but then turned back west. (倫敦帝國(guó)理工學(xué)院(Imperial Cllege Lndn)的地震學(xué)家、這項(xiàng)新研究的第一作者斯蒂芬·??怂?Stephen Hicks)通過(guò)研究震中的位置和每個(gè)震動(dòng)階段釋放的能量,確定了地震的兩個(gè)步驟:地震最初向東移動(dòng),但隨后又向西轉(zhuǎn)回。)”可知,一個(gè)回旋鏢地震可能將強(qiáng)烈的震動(dòng)傳播到更廣泛的區(qū)域,最新的回旋鏢地震先向東移動(dòng),但隨后又向西轉(zhuǎn)回,因此回旋鏢地震的震動(dòng)方向會(huì)改變,先朝一個(gè)方向,然后轉(zhuǎn)向相反的方向。因此,回旋鏢地震與其他地震的主要區(qū)別在于它在兩個(gè)相反的方向上震動(dòng)。故選D。
【29題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Yet fr earthquakes, it seems, cmplexities might be the nrm rather than the exceptin. As Hicks puts it: “The mre and mre we lk at earthquakes in mre detail, f curse we see stranger things.”(然而,對(duì)于地震來(lái)說(shuō),復(fù)雜性似乎是常態(tài),而不是例外。正如??怂顾f(shuō):“我們對(duì)地震的觀察越細(xì)致,當(dāng)然就會(huì)看到更奇怪的東西?!?”可知,這表明回旋鏢地震非常復(fù)雜,難以完全理解。故選B。
【30題詳解】
詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線詞前面的內(nèi)容“Understanding when and why these bmerang events happen is vital t…(了解這些“回旋鏢地震”事件發(fā)生的時(shí)間和原因?qū)τ凇?”以及劃線詞后面的內(nèi)容“... risks earthquakes present.(……存在地震風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。)”以及后文中“Studies like this help us understand hw past earthquakes ruptured, hw future earthquakes may rupture, and hw that relates t the ptential impact fr faults (斷層) near ppulated areas(這樣的研究幫助我們了解過(guò)去的地震是如何破裂的,未來(lái)的地震可能會(huì)如何破裂,以及這與人口稠密地區(qū)附近斷層的潛在影響有何關(guān)系)”可知,研究回旋鏢地震幫助我們了解過(guò)去的地震是如何破裂的,未來(lái)的地震可能會(huì)如何破裂,以及這與人口稠密地區(qū)附近斷層的潛在影響有何關(guān)系即研究回旋鏢地震能夠有助于我們處理或者解決目前地震存在的危險(xiǎn)。故劃線詞與B選項(xiàng)“cping with(處理,解決)”為同義詞。故選B。
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. D 34. C

(雖然可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)呼吁將教育轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榭沙掷m(xù)發(fā)展的力量,但事實(shí)往往恰恰相反:西方社會(huì)對(duì)教育的思考方式削弱了我們應(yīng)對(duì)環(huán)境危機(jī)的能力。為了度過(guò)這場(chǎng)危機(jī),我們需要培養(yǎng)我們的想象力,而不是削弱它)”可推知,作者希望教育能在促進(jìn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展方面發(fā)揮作用。故選B。
【32題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Grwing up, nne f my schling fstered my ability t imagine a wrld different frm what I saw arund me. Besides, I realize the suppressin (抑制) f children’s imaginatin desn’t take place nly in underresurced cmmunities, but in “elite” institutins that tut “critical thinking”.

【33題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中的“In Suth Africa, Nelsn Mandela’s fllwers had t be radical (激進(jìn)的) in their imaginatin t create a visin f a fairer sciety. Imagining demcracy when living under a ttalitarian regime (極權(quán)主義政權(quán)) isn’t that different frm imagining degrwth when living in a wrld f infinite grwth. (在南非,Nelsn Mandela的追隨者必須在他們的想象中變得激進(jìn),才能創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更公平的社會(huì)。生活在極權(quán)主義政權(quán)下想象民主與生活在無(wú)限增長(zhǎng)的世界里想象去增長(zhǎng)并沒(méi)有什么不同)”可推知,提及Nelsn Mandela是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)其作為歷史變革者的角色,他擁有重新構(gòu)想未來(lái)的獨(dú)特人類特質(zhì),從而激勵(lì)人們解決社會(huì)問(wèn)題,作為一個(gè)解決社會(huì)問(wèn)題的靈感來(lái)源。故選D。
【34題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Whereas the Sustainable Develpment Gals call fr turning educatin int a frce fr sustainability, the ppsite is ften true: The ways Western scieties have cme t think abut educatin undermine ur ability t deal with the envirnmental crisis.

If we let children be ur guides, we might be able t imagine ur way t survival. (環(huán)境危機(jī)不是技術(shù)或科學(xué)的危機(jī),而是想象力的危機(jī)。如果我們讓孩子成為我們的向?qū)В覀円苍S能夠想象我們的生存之路)”可知,作者認(rèn)為想象力是解決環(huán)境危機(jī)的關(guān)鍵,如果釋放孩子們的想象力并從中得到啟發(fā),我們或許能夠想象出通往生存的道路。由此推知,作者同意想象力有助于解決環(huán)境危機(jī)的觀點(diǎn)。故選C。

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文屬于說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了自主感官經(jīng)絡(luò)反應(yīng)(ASMR)的概念、其常見(jiàn)觸發(fā)因素、對(duì)身心健康的潛在益處,以及目前研究存在的局限性。
【40題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。由文章第一段中“These vides are designed t trigger an autnmus sensry meridian (經(jīng)絡(luò)) respnse, r ASMR, a pleasant feeling that travels frm the tp f the head dwn the back f the neck t the upper spine. (這些視頻旨在觸發(fā)自主感覺(jué)經(jīng)絡(luò)反應(yīng),即ASMR,一種愉快的感覺(jué),從頭頂向下到頸部后部,再到脊柱上部。)”可知,自主感官經(jīng)絡(luò)反應(yīng)(ASMR)是一種令人愉快的感覺(jué),從頭頂向下延伸至頸部后方,直至上脊柱。故答案為:(ASMR/It is) a pleasant feeling that travels frm the tp f the head dwn the back f the neck t the upper spine.
【41題詳解】
考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“Clear evidence shws that ASMR can reduce stress and anxiety. Data als shws that it can imprve shrt-term memry. In specific cases, participants watching ASMR vides had lwer heart rates and bld pressure, physical signals f relaxatin. In additin, they fund that ASMR triggers brain activity patterns assciated with relaxatin and stress relief. (明確的證據(jù)表明,ASMR可以減輕壓力和焦慮。數(shù)據(jù)還顯示,它可以改善短期記憶。在特定情況下,觀看ASMR視頻的參與者心率和血壓較低,這是放松的身體信號(hào)。此外,他們還發(fā)現(xiàn)ASMR會(huì)觸發(fā)與放松和減壓相關(guān)的大腦活動(dòng)模式。)”可知,ASMR可以減輕壓力和焦慮,改善短期記憶。故答案為:It/ASMR can reduce stress and anxiety and imprve shrt-term memry.
【42題詳解】
考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“Based n the previus studies, the researchers cncluded that examples f triggers include whispering, tapping, and natural sunds, and it is imprtant t nte that specific triggers f ASMR and the intensity f the respnse vary widely by individuals. (基于之前的研究,研究人員得出結(jié)論,觸發(fā)因素包括耳語(yǔ)、敲擊聲和自然聲音,值得注意的是,ASMR的具體觸發(fā)因素和反應(yīng)強(qiáng)度因人而異。)”可知,不同人對(duì)相同觸發(fā)因素的反應(yīng)強(qiáng)度可能不同,而非相似。因此,錯(cuò)誤部分為:“they may cause reactins f similar intensity amng different peple (它們可能會(huì)在不同人中引起相似強(qiáng)度的反應(yīng))”,因?yàn)閷?shí)際上反應(yīng)強(qiáng)度是因人而異的。故答案為:Althugh triggers f ASMR are different, they may cause reactins f similar intensity amng different peple. Accrding t the passage, the intensity f the respnse varies widely by individuals.
【43題詳解】
開放性問(wèn)題。如果時(shí)間允許,我可以到一個(gè)陌生的地方去城市散步。在一個(gè)新地方漫無(wú)目的地游蕩會(huì)讓我精神煥發(fā),把我的注意力從導(dǎo)致我壓力的原因上轉(zhuǎn)移開。心情輕松,我可以更容易地面對(duì)我的問(wèn)題。故答案為:Time permitting, I can take a city walk in a strange place. Wandering aimlessly in a new place will refresh me and draw my attentin away frm what causes my stress. With a light heart, I can face my prblem mre readily.
