This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears:heights,bears,and ageing.
Two friends joined me on a four-day wildemess getaway,and since we were all in our seventies,we
decided we'd better go while we still could.Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding
mountain road.
On one hike,I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (
logs,suspended high above rushing rapids.I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead,
mouthing encouraging words.Fixing my eyes on her boots,I inched along the shaky logs.Somehow,I
made it across,flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief.
Later,after spotting bear tracks,we were told to make loud noises,which soon became a game once
the tension faded.
Until suddenly,time stood still.
We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered,"There's a bear."I looked up in disbelief
and saw not one,but two,about ten meters above us-the brown mother in front,her cub behind.
Though scared speechless,I couldn't help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting.
I wondered if it would be my last memory.As they started towards us,we recovered enough to shout and
wave our hiking poles.Taken aback,they stopped,and then slowly turned away.Another fear was
overcome!
On our final morning,after a quiet,thoughtful walk through the forest,we were asked to bring back
a“meaningful''stick,rock,and leaf to share what would“stick”with us,what“rocked,'”and what we
would"leaf'behind.The bond of friendship would stick with me.Women supporting one another truly
rocked.And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her admiration,praising not only our fitness but also our positive
attitude,and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years.Those unexpected words
warmed my heart and eased my fear of being"over the hill."Being valued for what we had accomplished
felt like winning an Olympic medal-even if just for participation.
24.How did the author cross the bridge?
A.By taking mindful steps.
B.By rushing across it bravely.
C.By using her sense of direction.
D.By having the guide drag her over.
25.Why did the bears leave?
A.They were attracted by the natural setting.B.They were afraid of the noise of the rapids.
C.They were surprised at the group's actions.D.They were threatened by the guide's rocks.
26.Why did the guide ask them for a stick,rock,and leaf?
A.To pick up some souvenirs.
B.To reflect on the journey.
C.To symbolize their teamwork.
D.To check their observation skills.
27.What does the underlined phrase"over the hill"in the last paragraph mean?
A.Past the peak of youth.
B.Too high to go down.
C.Out of place in society.
D.Beyond physical limits.

I sometimes feel I'm in a daily struggle not to become a shallower version of myself.The driver of
shallowization is technology,the way it reduces attention span,fills the day with unnecessary distractions
(分散注意).SoI'm trying to take countermeasures.I flee to the arts.
I'm looking for those experiences we all have as kids:becoming so enveloped by an adventure story
that you refuse to put it down to go to dinner;getting so entirely swept up in some piece of music that
you feel primeval passions thumping within you;encountering a painting so beautiful it feels
like you've walked right into its alternative world.
The normal thing to say about such experiences is that you've lost yourself in a book or a song-
lost track of space and time.But it is more accurate to say that a piece of art has quieted the
self-conscious ego voice that is normally chattering away within.A piece of art has served as a gateway
to a deeper realm of the mind.It has opened up that hidden,semiconscious kingdom within us from
which emotions emerge,where our moral sentiments()are found.
The arts work on us at that deep level,the level that really matters.You give me somebody who
disagrees with me on every issue,but who has a good heart-who has the ability to show sympathy with
others,participate in their woes,longing and dreams-well,I want to stay with that person all day.You
give me a person who agrees with me on every particular,but who has a cold,resentful heart-well,I
want nothing to do with him or her.
Artists generally don't set out to improve other people;they just want to create a perfect expression
of their experience.But their art has the potential to humanize the beholder.
28.Why does the author turn to the arts?
A.To escape from daily chaos.
B.To imitate the lifestyles of artists.
C.To avoid shallowization from technology.D.To seek inner peace through dialogues.
29.According to the text,how does art affect our inner world?
A.By enabling us to keep sustainable focus.
B.By expanding keen insights into the world.
C.By enhancing information processing ability
D.By allowing access to deep levels of the mind.
30.What is the value of engaging with the arts according to paragraph 4?
A.Developing genuine passions for art.B.Acquiring the ability to understand others.
C.Learning the art appreciation techniques.D.Strengthening social links between people
31.What will be talked about after the last paragraph?
A.The strategies for promoting ourselves.B.The perspectives on conveying true beauty.
C.The approaches to humanizing artworks.D.The principles of maintaining motivations.

As for advantages of bilingualism,the state or practice of mastering two languages,beyond the
conversational doors it can open,it's supposed to improve multiple abilities,including the ability to plan
complex tasks and update beliefs as new information arrives.Most striking,studies have even shown that
bilinguals exhibit a later onset of dementia ()But some of these studies have failed to repeat,
leaving experts wondering whether the effect is real,and if so,what exactly it consists of.
The good news is that it's never too late to start learning a new language,if you want your brains to
benefit.The biggest benefit seem to come to those with full mastery of a second language,typically
native bilinguals or those who use two languages nearly daily.Interpreters and translators,for instance,
outperform people who only can speak or use one language at alternating between simple math tasks,
signaling better mental regulation,as was proven in a research.
Another research has revealed that bilingual young children outperform their peers in early cognitive
(development.It found that a great many of relevant studies confirmed a bilingual advantage
among children under six.
Concerning the other end of life or when it comes to old age,Ellen Bialystok of York University,in
Canada,has compared the cognitive protection that bilingualism offers to the coverage of a piece of
bread afforded by a slice of holey Swiss cheese.Learning new languages is similar to piling up the cheese
slices.Their holes occur in different places,thus collectively offering greater protection.
All these studies take for granted the uncontroversial(无争议的)mental superpower that you get
from language study.Even if you cannot pick your parents and be fluent from childhood,that should be
more than enough reason to give it a go.
32.What does the underlined word"it"probably refer to in Paragraph 1?
A.The effect of bilingualism.
B.The repeat of some studies.
C.The doubt of some experts.
D.The later onset of dementia.
33.What might be compared to"a piece of bread"in Paragraph 4?
A.A child's cognition.
B.An old man's brain.
C.The cognitive growth.
D.The mental protection.
34.What benefit of bilingualism is highlighted in the text?
A.Lifting multiple abilities.
B.Enhancing relationships.
C.Powering up our brains.
D.Upgrading our key beliefs.
35.What can be the purpose of the text?
A.To do master foreign languages!
B.To be a bilingual teenager!
C.To see benefits of bilingualism!
D.To give bilingualism a shot

I put on a headset,and within seconds I am somewhere else.Ice sheets float on dark water.Wind
brushes past my ears,sharp and restless.In the distance,mountains glow (under the moonlight.
Moments later,I find myself inside a museum,leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life
36 This is the promise of virtual reality (VR):a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel.37 There is no need to consider weather
conditions,health issues or financial pressure.You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just
as freely.For those restricted by schedule,health,or income,VR quietly removes barriers that traditional
travel often sets in place.
38 Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets,sample local dishes,and engage face-to-face
with people shaped by different traditions.Such encounters awaken the senses and create lasting
memories.More importantly,they change ho w places feel to us,not just how we understand them.
This distinction is clear,because learning about a destination is not the same as being there.Virtual
travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations,but it remains carefully controlled.Real travel,
by contrast,is shaped by unpredictability.39 In those unplanned moments,understanding
becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to evolve,enriching how we preview journeys and imagine
distant worlds.Still,it cannot replace actual presence.Travel is not simply about seeing farther;it is also
about feeling where you stand.40
A.I am not moving,yet I am traveling.
B.Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
C.My feet ache as my journey stretches across the day.
D.Virtual journeys are convenient,time-saving,and widely accessible.
E.Some knowledge,it seems,only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
F.It demands choices,adaptation,and constant awareness of the unexpected.
G.But the convenience may gradually weaken our desire to explore the real world.

I still remember the day I bought my "nice"notebook.It was a leather-bound journal with
cream-colored pages.I was sure it would make me the type of person who journals regularly,and who

That gorgeous notebook sat 42 for months.When I finally opened it,I hesitated.The pages
felt too delicate and too 43 to waste on my messy handwriting and ideas.So I 44 it.
Instead,I grabbed an old,ugly composition notebook with a 45 cover and dog-eared corners.I
started to 46 it with everything:momning pages,random thoughts and reminders.This is
surprisingly 47.I actually wrote.Every day.Without exception.
The psychology is real.When we 48 something too much,we place limits around it,feeling
it is "too good".But the ugly notebook carries no such 49.It has been used.It tells me,"This is a

Here's the thing:51 notebooks are idea incubators ()With the pressure off,you
experiment more.You try things that might 52.And in that freedom,bad ideas I was 53
embarrassed about gradually evolved into work I'm proud of.And that's where the real work of creation
happens.
The best notebook is never the most beautiful one.It's the one you'll actually 54 Because
the magic happens in the 55,not in perfect pages.

Tea is the national drink of China,with a history of over 5000 years.In recent years,tea-tourism
integration(茶旅融合)_56_(become)a new trend in rural China,.combining tea culture with
rural tourism 57 (boost)rural revitalization ()
Anxi County in Fujian Province,the hometown of Tieguanyin tea,is a good example.For
hundreds of years,local people have been growing tea here.In the past,most farmers followed 58
their parents'footsteps and only sold fresh tea leaves or 59 (process)tea,which brought them
limited income.Now,with the development of tea-tourism,the county has turned tea gardens into tourist
60 (attraction).
Tourists can come here to pick tea leaves,learn 61 to process tea,taste different kinds
of tea,and listen to stories about tea culture.Local farmers have opened family hotels and tea-themed
restaurants,62(provide)more jobs for villagers.Tea-tourism integration not only improves
the income of local people,63 helps pass on traditional tea culture.Many tea-producing areas
have set up tea museums and tea culture experience centers,64 young people can learn about
the history and skills of tea making.Some schools even work with tea gardens to set up research bases,
teaching students about tea culture.
"Tea is not just a drink.It carries 65 (we)traditional Chinese culture and spirit,"said an
expert."Tea-tourism integration gives a new life to the old tea culture,and helps build a better life for
people in rural areas.”

Ray of Light
Emma had never liked the old community library.Its old lights and dusty shelves made her feel as if
she were stepping into a forgotten world.Yet that rainy Thursday afternoon,she had no choice but to go
there.Her group project was due the next day,and she still needed several references that could only be
found in the library's archive room.
As she shook off the rainwater and walked inside,she heard a low voice coming from behind the
front desk.It belonged to Mr.Harris,the elderly librarian who had worked there longer than anyone could
remember.He looked pale and tired,but when he saw Emma,he forced a gentle smile."The archive room
is open today.Just be careful-the lights have been flickering again."Emma nodded,though she felt a
slight sense of unease.The library was unusually quiet,with only the sound of the storm tapping against
the windows.She headed toward the archive room and began searching through the shelves.Minutes
turned into an hour.She finally found the last book she needed,but as she turned to leave,the lights went
out completely.A wave of darkness swallowed the room.Emma froze.She took a step forward but hit a
shelf.Panic rose in her chest.She reached for her phone,only to realize the battery had died earlier.Just
then,she heard something-a cough.A weak one."Mr.Harris?"she called.No answer.
Then she moved slowly through the dark hallway,feeling her way along the wall.The storm outside
grew louder.After several tense moments,she spotted a faint light ahead.It was the emergency light
above the front desk.
Under it lay Mr.Harris.He had collapsed on the floor."Sir!"Emma rushed to him.His breathing
was shallow,and his hands were icy cold Her heart beat fast.She remembered he lived alone and had no
family nearby.She had to act quickly.But the storm had knocked out the power-and likely the phone
lines.
