“Think of your wind or blow to Ailao Mountain”, this kind of mystery of the undeveloped area has a lot of traffic on the social platform, and it is also a common path for many wild scenic spots to become popular online in recent years.
Currently, authorities have only opened the outer areas of the Ailao Mountains to tourists, as much of the inner area remains a vast, untouched forest with potentially dangerous terrain. The region has gained popularity on Chinese social media platforms, with content creators regularly sharing thrilling videos of their experience in and around the reserve. At present, a large number of southward migratory (迁徙) birds have arrived in Yunnan, and the local government has begun to implement the bird ring record and epidemic source disease monitoring work in 2024.
An endangered bird, one of the most elusive (难以找到的) members of the heron family, was again recently spotted in mountains in Southwest China. The white-eared night heron is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. It also enjoys top-level protection from the Chinese government.
Only around 1,000 such birds remain worldwide. Known as the “world’s most mysterious bird”, white-eared night herons are elusive and prefer dense forests. Improved local ecology is attracting more rare wildlife. The species, indigenous to China and Vietnam, has now been seen in this reserve for three consecutive years.
A spotted adult bird weighing 594 grams and measuring 63.2 cm in length was recently captured in the reserve by a team of experts. “Bird calls could be heard nearby that night, indicating the presence of more than one such bird,” said Zhao Xuebing, a PhD student from Yunnan University, who participated in a bird-banding operation which was taking place when the sighting happened. The captured heron has since been released back into the wild, equipped with a satellite tracker to monitor its movements.
1. Why did Ailao Mountain become a network celebrity punch card?
A. The unexplored areas of Ailao Mountain are mysterious.
B. The scenery of Ailao Mountain is beautiful*
C. A large number of southern migratory birds arrived at Ailao Mountain.
D. Ailao Mountain is an environmental nature reserve.
2. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. The government propaganda was very strong.
B. People paid a lot of attention to Ailao Mountain.
C. The local ecological environment was very good.
D. The local economy was very developed.
3. What was the fate of the captured bird?
A. Being kept in a cage. B. Being taken back to the animal shelter.
C. Being released back into the zoo. D. Being released back into the wild and monitored.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段““Think of your wind or blow to Ailao Mountain”, this kind of mystery of the undeveloped area has a lot of traffic on the social platform, and it is also a common path for many wild scenic spots to become popular online in recent years. (‘想你的风还是吹到了哀牢山’,这种未开发地区的神秘感在社交平台上引发了大量关注,近年来,这也是许多野生景点在网络上走红的常见路径)”可知,哀牢山等未开发区给人带来的神秘感吸引人们去竞相打卡。故选A。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Known as the “world’s most mysterious bird”, white-eared night herons are elusive and prefer dense forests. Improved local ecology is attracting more rare wildlife.(海南鳽被称为‘世界上最神秘的鸟’,难以捕获,喜欢茂密的森林。当地生态的改善吸引了更多的珍稀野生动物。)”可知,当地良好的生态环境促使海南鳽的出现。故选C。
3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The captured heron has since been released back into the wild, equipped with a satellite tracker to monitor its movements. (这只被捕获的海南鳽已经被放回野外,并配备了卫星跟踪器来监控它的活动。)”可知,被捕获的海南鳽被放归野外并被使用卫星追踪器进行监控。故选D。

Browsing videos on TikTok or YouTube can be a hit-and-miss affair, with gems lurking (潜伏) amid mediocre efforts. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored. Dr Katy Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead author of the research, said boredom was closely linked to our focus. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.” The results appear to chime (一致) with other studies: as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse.
Writing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Tam and colleagues report how they carried out seven experiments involving a total of more than 1,200 participants.
The first, involving 140 participants, revealed that people tended to switch between videos more when they rated the content more boring, while the second — an online survey involving 231 participants — suggested people thought having the option to skip through a video or switch to another would make viewing a video less boring.
However, the team’s following experiments suggest this is not the case. Data from a group of 166 undergraduates suggests participants felt more bored when allowed to skip about within a video than when they were not able to, while results from 159 undergraduates revealed they reported higher levels or boredom when given a collection of five-minute videos they could switch between, compared with a single 10-minute video.
“Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式的) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping through them.”
4. According to the text, what makes us get bored when we keep watching videos?
A. The content of the videos.
B. Our attention.
C. The emotions of the person watching the videos.
D. The lives of people who watch videos.
5. When do people most want to watch videos?
A. When people feel helpless in life. B. When they’re out of work.
C. When they feel terribly bored. D. When the family is not harmonious.
6. What do we learn from Tam and her colleagues’ experiments?
A. When people find video content boring, they will switch videos more frequently.
B. Having the option to skip or switch to another video will make watching the video less boring.
C. Being able to casually watch a 5-minute video is less boring than watching a 10-minute video.
D. Watching video is leisure and should not be absorbed in it.
7. Why are we constantly twitching videos according to the text?
A. To come up with a new idea.
B. To find videos that are useful to ourselves.
C. To rethink about something so bad in the past.
D. To wonder if the next video is more interesting.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲现在刷视频已经成为一种主流娱乐方式,很多人每天都会刷到无法自拔,然而研究发现,刷短视频,尤其是不断地快进或跳过视频,会让人感觉更加无聊。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But researchers have found that switching to another video, or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored. Dr Katy Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead author of the research, said boredom was closely linked to our focus. (但研究人员发现,切换到另一个视频,或者在同一个视频中来回跳,实际上会让人更无聊。该研究的主要作者、多伦多大学斯卡伯勒分校的Katy Tam博士说,无聊与我们的注意力密切相关。)”可知,当我们一直刷视频时感到无聊和注意力密切相关,即我们一直看视频时,我们的注意力会让我们感到无聊。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The results appear to chime (一致) with other studies: as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse. (研究结果似乎与其他研究相吻合:正如研究小组指出的那样,之前的研究表明,虽然缓解无聊是人们使用社交媒体或智能手机的一个原因,但使用这些技术似乎会让感觉更糟。)”可知,先前的研究发现,无聊促使人们去使用社交媒体或智能手机去刷视频。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The first, involving 140 participants, revealed that people tended to switch between videos more when they rated the content more boring, while the second — an online survey involving 231 participants — suggested people thought having the option to skip through a video or switch to another would make viewing a video less boring. (第一项涉及140名参与者的调查显示,当人们认为视频内容更无聊时,他们倾向于在视频之间切换,而第二项涉及231名参与者的在线调查表明,人们认为可以选择跳过一个视频或切换到另一个视频会让观看视频变得不那么无聊。)”可知,当人们发现视频内容无聊时,他们会更频繁地切换视频。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. (当人们不停地切换视频时,他们对视频的参与度就会降低,他们会寻找更有趣的东西)”可知,在人们不断切换视频时,他们对视频的专注度开始下降,心里想下一个视频会不会更有趣。故选D。
C
China’s triple Olympic champion Sun Yang claimed gold in the men’s 400m freestyle at the 2024 National Summer Swimming Championships on Augusti25th in Hefei, East China’s Anhui province. Sun Yang, who returned to the competition after a gap of four and a half years, ranked first in the group and second in the initial round in 3 minutes 54.98 on the morning of the 25th. In the final, Sun Yang competed in the fifth lane. When he stood at the start of the game, the whole audience remained quiet, waiting for the start of the game with bated breath. After returning from a 51-mpnth suspension (禁赛), the 32-year-old showed his supremacy by leading the race from the first 200m, Sun, representing Zhejiang province, won his title in three minutes and 49.58 seconds.
“I could have done better,” Sun said after the competition. “Four years away from competition, and without intensive training, I do feel out-of-practice in controlling the tempo, and I need more competitions. But it’s a good start for my comeback, and I’m happy with this result.”
In June 2021, a panel of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced that Sun Yang committed Anti-Doping Rule Violations during an unsuccessful attempt to collect blood and urine samples at his residence on September 4-5, 2018.
“The Panel concluded that a period of ineligibility of 4 years and 3 months (i. e. 51 months) starting from on February 28, 2020, is to be imposed on Sun Yang,” said the CAS.
On May 28 this year, Sun Yang’s suspension of four years and three months ended. Sun Yang said on social media after the competition: “I want to sincerely thank myself for every road I have traveled. Those victories, failures, and setbacks taught me how to face the difficulties and challenges of life, and how to make myself stronger and more confident”.
In a post-match interview, Sun shared, “Over the past four years, I’ve experienced a journey from the peak to the valley and then gradually climbed my way back up.” While there is a noticeable gap compared to his peak period, Sun believed that this championship held profound significance for him.
Sun also revealed that throughout his more than four-year suspension, he independently financed his training, and injury treatments, and kept training without taking a single day off. “I don’t want to dwell on the past anymore because I’ve already emerged from the darkness,” Sun said, adding that he aimed to serve as a role model for the younger generation born in the 2000s and 2010s, hoping they will make significant contributions to Chinese men’ s swimming.
8. Which was Sun Yang’s grade of winning the men’s 400-meter swimming champion on August 25?
A. Three minutes 54.98 seconds. B. Three minutes 49.58 seconds.
C. Three minutes 51.98 seconds. D. Three minutes 32.58 seconds.
9. What did Sun Yang respond to his winning again?
A. He hated it when the state punished him too harshly.
B. He wanted to forget the past and start over.
C. He thanked the past and faced difficulties and challenges head-on.
D. He believed that a good beginning had been made and did not dwell on the past.
10 Which fails to be concluded from the example of Sun Yang?
A. The sportsmanship to never give up.
B. To maintain an indomitable will in the face of adversity.
C. Respect the law and uphold the principle of fair play.
D. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.
11. What does the underlined word “emerged” in the last paragraph mean?
A. climbed. B. touched. C. realized. D. spotted.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“After returning from a 51-month suspension, the 32-yeaLold showed his supremacy by leading the race from the first 200m, Sun, representing Zhejiang province, won his title in three minutes and 49.58 seconds.(在结束了51个月的禁赛后,32岁的孙杨在前200米的比赛中领先,以3分49秒58的成绩赢得了冠军。)”可知,孙杨以3分49秒58的成绩夺得男子400米自由泳决赛冠军。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Sun Yang said on social media after the competition: “I want to sincerely thank myself for every road. I have traveled. Those victories, failures and setbacks taught me how to face the difficulties and challenges of life, and how to make myself stronger and more confident. (赛后孙杨在社交媒体上表示:“我要衷心感谢自己曾经走过的每一段路,那些胜利、失败与挫折,正是它们教会我如何直面人生的重重困难与挑战,如何让自己愈发坚强与自信。”)”可知,孙杨感谢过去,直面困难和挑战。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“On May 28 this year, Sun Yang’s suspension of four years and three months ended. Sun Yang said on social media after the competition: “I want to sincerely thank myself for every road I have traveled. Those victories, failures, and setbacks taught me how to face the difficulties and challenges of life, and how to make myself stronger and more confident”.(今年5月28日,孙杨4年零3个月的禁赛结束。孙杨赛后在社交媒体上说:“我要真诚地感谢自己走过的每一条路。那些胜利、失败和挫折教会了我如何面对生活中的困难和挑战,以及如何让自己变得更强大、更自信。”)”及全文可知,从孙杨的例子中,我们可以得出他展现了永不放弃的体育精神、在逆境中保持不屈不挠的意志,以及尊重法律和维护公平竞争的原则。而“塞翁失马,焉知非福”这一观点并没有直接从文中得出。A. The sportsmanship to never give up.(永不放弃的体育精神。);B. To maintain an indomitable will in the face of adversity. (在逆境中保持不屈不挠的意志。);C. Respect the law and uphold the principle of fair play. (尊重法律,坚持公平竞争原则。);D. Misfortune may be an actual blessing. (塞翁失马,焉知非福。)。故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前半句“I don’t want to dwell on the past anymore (我不想再沉湎于过去了)”可知,孙杨提到自己经历从巅峰到低谷再慢慢爬回来,已经从黑暗中爬出来,即走出黑暗。所以划线词emerged为“(由某种状态)脱出”,与climbed含义一致。故选A。
D

High ceilings in buildings linked to pooer exam result for students
New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students, which might sound a bit crazy, but makes more and more sense as you think about it.
While the shape of a room can’t make up for your lack of revision or make you any smarter than you were before, we do know that the environments we’re in have an effect on us. ___16___ The authors of the study, from the University of South Australia and Deakin University in Australia, suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, are making it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them.
A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive (认知的) ability and the perceived (感知的) size of a person’s surroundings. ___17___ “We wondered what the results would look like if we applied our lab findings to real-world dataset”, says environmental psychologist Isabella Bower from the University of South Australia.
The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses, referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they’d previously submitted. In exam rooms with elevated ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height. ___18___ Because there are other factors related to the environment to consider like the temperature or humidity inside the space, or even how many other students there are. “These spaces are often designed for purposes other than examinations, such as gymnasiums, exhibitions, events, and performances,” says Bower. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree.” ___19___ It’s clear though that environment matters and that we might not be giving students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose.
“Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students’ career paths and lives,” says educational psychologist Jaclyn Broadbent from Deakin University.
___20___ and it demonstrates (证明) the impact of architectural design on task performance.
A. The research has been published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology.
B. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing.
C. That includes our ability to concentrate and work on mental tasks.
D. However, the researchers are still not sure whether the actual size of the room plays a role.
E. A personal office or quiet corner can provide a more ideal environment for tasks that require intense concentration.
F. They also measured the participants’ heart rate, breathing, and sweating.
G. Those are questions that future research can try to find out.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. G 20. A

根据下文“Because there are other factors related to the environment to consider like the temperature or humidity inside the space, or even how many other students there are. (因为还有其他与环境相关的因素需要考虑,比如空间内的温度或湿度,甚至还有其他多少学生)”可知,还有其他与环境相关的因素需要考虑,所以研究人员不确定房间的实际大小是否起作用。D选项“然而,研究人员仍然不确定房间的实际大小是否起作用”符合语境。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree. (关键点是,天花板高的大房间似乎不利于学生,我们需要了解大脑是如何运作的,以及这是否对所有学生的影响程度都相同)”可知,还有一些问题有待解决,G选项“这些问题需要未来的研究来回答。”符合语境。故选G。

47. 读后续写
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.” I had quite a weekend planned parties and a football game with my friend tomorrow afternoon, so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, “Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.”
He looked at me and said, “ Hey thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now.
We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. The more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. We agreed to go to school together on Monday.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, “Damn boy, you are going to build some serious muscles with this pile of books every day!” He just laughed and handed me half the books, an unnatural look on his face. “What a nerd,” I thought to myself. We walked while talking. He looked at me several times along the way, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Over the next several years, Kyle and I became best friends. Kyle was the valedictorian (优秀毕业生代表), he had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn’t me having to get up there and speak. I can see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. “Thanks,” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach ... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him or her. I am going to tell you a story.”

Paragraph 2
I heard the gasp go through the crowd.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. Meanwhile, I found he looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved, My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.”
I heard the gasp go through the crowd. The crowds fell into silence, and then broke into loud applause. I looked at the handsome, popular boy who was telling his story about his weakest moment in shock. I glanced quickly at the crowd and saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and casting me the same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture are, you can change a person’s life.

A
“Think of your wind or blow to Ailao Mountain”, this kind of mystery of the undeveloped area has a lot of traffic on the social platform, and it is also a common path for many wild scenic spots to become popular online in recent years.
Currently, authorities have only opened the outer areas of the Ailao Mountains to tourists, as much of the inner area remains a vast, untouched forest with potentially dangerous terrain. The region has gained popularity on Chinese social media platforms, with content creators regularly sharing thrilling videos of their experience in and around the reserve. At present, a large number of southward migratory (迁徙) birds have arrived in Yunnan, and the local government has begun to implement the bird ring record and epidemic source disease monitoring work in 2024.
An endangered bird, one of the most elusive (难以找到的) members of the heron family, was again recently spotted in mountains in Southwest China. The white-eared night heron is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. It also enjoys top-level protection from the Chinese government.
Only around 1,000 such birds remain worldwide. Known as the “world’s most mysterious bird”, white-eared night herons are elusive and prefer dense forests. Improved local ecology is attracting more rare wildlife. The species, indigenous to China and Vietnam, has now been seen in this reserve for three consecutive years.
A spotted adult bird weighing 594 grams and measuring 63.2 cm in length was recently captured in the reserve by a team of experts. “Bird calls could be heard nearby that night, indicating the presence of more than one such bird,” said Zhao Xuebing, a PhD student from Yunnan University, who participated in a bird-banding operation which was taking place when the sighting happened. The captured heron has since been released back into the wild, equipped with a satellite tracker to monitor its movements.
1. Why did Ailao Mountain become a network celebrity punch card?

Browsing videos on TikTok or YouTube can be a hit-and-miss affair, with gems lurking (潜伏) amid mediocre efforts. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or skipping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored. Dr Katy Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead author of the research, said boredom was closely linked to our focus. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.” The results appear to chime (一致) with other studies: as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse.
Writing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Tam and colleagues report how they carried out seven experiments involving a total of more than 1,200 participants.
The first, involving 140 participants, revealed that people tended to switch between videos more when they rated the content more boring, while the second — an online survey involving 231 participants — suggested people thought having the option to skip through a video or switch to another would make viewing a video less boring.
However, the team’s following experiments suggest this is not the case. Data from a group of 166 undergraduates suggests participants felt more bored when allowed to skip about within a video than when they were not able to, while results from 159 undergraduates revealed they reported higher levels or boredom when given a collection of five-minute videos they could switch between, compared with a single 10-minute video.
“Our research shows that while people fast-forward or skip videos to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式的) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping through them.”
4. According to the text, what makes us get bored when we keep watching videos?
A. The content of the videos.
B. Our attention.
C. The emotions of the person watching the videos.
D. The lives of people who watch videos.
5. When do people most want to watch videos?
A. When people feel helpless in life. B. When they’re out of work.
C. When they feel terribly bored. D. When the family is not harmonious.
6. What do we learn from Tam and her colleagues’ experiments?
A. When people find video content boring, they will switch videos more frequently.
B. Having the option to skip or switch to another video will make watching the video less boring.
C Being able to casually watch a 5-minute video is less boring than watching a 10-minute video.
D. Watching video is leisure and should not be absorbed in it.
7. Why are we constantly twitching videos according to the text?
A. To come up with a new idea.
B. To find videos that are useful to ourselves.
C. To rethink about something so bad in the past.
D. To wonder if the next video is more interesting.

China’s triple Olympic champion Sun Yang claimed gold in the men’s 400m freestyle at the 2024 National Summer Swimming Championships on Augusti25th in Hefei, East China’s Anhui province. Sun Yang, who returned to the competition after a gap of four and a half years, ranked first in the group and second in the initial round in 3 minutes 54.98 on the morning of the 25th. In the final, Sun Yang competed in the fifth lane. When he stood at the start of the game, the whole audience remained quiet, waiting for the start of the game with bated breath. After returning from a 51-mpnth suspension (禁赛), the 32-year-old showed his supremacy by leading the race from the first 200m, Sun, representing Zhejiang province, won his title in three minutes and 49.58 seconds.
“I could have done better,” Sun said after the competition. “Four years away from competition, and without intensive training, I do feel out-of-practice in controlling the tempo, and I need more competitions. But it’s a good start for my comeback, and I’m happy with this result.”
In June 2021, a panel of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced that Sun Yang committed Anti-Doping Rule Violations during an unsuccessful attempt to collect blood and urine samples at his residence on September 4-5, 2018.
“The Panel concluded that a period of ineligibility of 4 years and 3 months (i. e. 51 months) starting from on February 28, 2020, is to be imposed on Sun Yang,” said the CAS.
On May 28 this year, Sun Yang’s suspension of four years and three months ended. Sun Yang said on social media after the competition: “I want to sincerely thank myself for every road I have traveled. Those victories, failures, and setbacks taught me how to face the difficulties and challenges of life, and how to make myself stronger and more confident”.
In a post-match interview, Sun shared, “Over the past four years, I’ve experienced a journey from the peak to the valley and then gradually climbed my way back up.” While there is a noticeable gap compared to his peak period, Sun believed that this championship held profound significance for him.
Sun also revealed that throughout his more than four-year suspension, he independently financed his training, and injury treatments, and kept training without taking a single day off. “I don’t want to dwell on the past anymore because I’ve already emerged from the darkness,” Sun said, adding that he aimed to serve as a role model for the younger generation born in the 2000s and 2010s, hoping they will make significant contributions to Chinese men’ s swimming.
8. Which was Sun Yang’s grade of winning the men’s 400-meter swimming champion on August 25?
A. Three minutes 54.98 seconds. B. Three minutes 49.58 seconds.

B. He wanted to forget the past and start over.
C. He thanked the past and faced difficulties and challenges head-on.
D. He believed that a good beginning had been made and did not dwell on the past.
10. Which fails to be concluded from the example of Sun Yang?
A. The sportsmanship to never give up.
B. To maintain an indomitable will in the face of adversity.
C. Respect the law and uphold the principle of fair play.

High ceilings in buildings linked to pooer exam result for students
New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students, which might sound a bit crazy, but makes more and more sense as you think about it.
While the shape of a room can’t make up for your lack of revision or make you any smarter than you were before, we do know that the environments we’re in have an effect on us. ___16___ The authors of the study, from the University of South Australia and Deakin University in Australia, suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, are making it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them.
A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive (认知) ability and the perceived (感知的) size of a person’s surroundings. ___17___ “We wondered what the results would look like if we applied our lab findings to real-world dataset”, says environmental psychologist Isabella Bower from the University of South Australia.
The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses, referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they’d previously submitted. In exam rooms with elevated ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height. ___18___ Because there are other factors related to the environment to consider like the temperature or humidity inside the space, or even how many other students there are. “These spaces are often designed for purposes other than examinations, such as gymnasiums, exhibitions, events, and performances,” says Bower. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree.” ___19___ It’s clear though that environment matters and that we might not be giving students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose.
“Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students’ career paths and lives,” says educational psychologist Jaclyn Broadbent from Deakin University.
___20___ and it demonstrates (证明) the impact of architectural design on task performance.
A. The research has been published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology.
B. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing.
C. That includes our ability to concentrate and work on mental tasks.
D. However, the researchers are still not sure whether the actual size of the room plays a role.
E. A personal office or quiet corner can provide a more ideal environment for tasks that require intense concentration.
F. They also measured the participants’ heart rate, breathing, and sweating.
G. Those are questions that future research can try to find out.

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.” I had quite a weekend planned parties and a football game with my friend tomorrow afternoon, so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, “Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.”
He looked at me and said, “ Hey thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now.
We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. The more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. We agreed to go to school together on Monday.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, “Damn boy, you are going to build some serious muscles with this pile of books every day!” He just laughed and handed me half the books, an unnatural look on his face. “What a nerd,” I thought to myself. We walked while talking. He looked at me several times along the way, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Over the next several years, Kyle and I became best friends. Kyle was the valedictorian (优秀毕业生代表), he had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn’t me having to get up there and speak. I can see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. “Thanks,” he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach ... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him or her. I am going to tell you a story.”
