Gilly Macmillan's new book is quite different from her earlier works,with a style like that
of The Da Vinci Code.It's a story set in the quiet and faraway Scottish city of St Andrews.
The story begins with the killing of the latest owner of a small old embroidery(刺绣品),
which is thought to be the key to finding the hard-to-get Book of Wonders-a manuscript()
worth millions of dollars.Two women's groups are fighting for this embroidery.They will do
anything to get it,because both believe it will lead them to the valuable original manuscript.
A young graduate successfully translates a difficult ancient text.Then she is invited by a
senior professor-an important member of one women's group-to join a special manuscript
research institute in St Andrews.But people may wonder:was she hired for her expert
knowledge,her inexperience in solving cases,or something else?
At the same time,an investigator from Scotland Yard gets clues about the killing from her
teacher just before the teacher dies.She then starts a private investigation into the case,which
brings her closer to the other people in the story.
The book changes between the first-person view of the young graduate and the third-person
view of other characters,such as the investigator and the professor.
I loved the clear and lively descriptions of Scotland's countryside,buildings and weather.
However,I didn't enjoy the book itself-but that's my own problem.You must be interested in
the history of ancient things like embroidery and lost manuscripts.Otherwise,you might feel
bored like I did.This book just isn't my type.But if these topics interest you,the author did a lot
of careful research for it,and the story is full of twists and turns.So it could be a good book for
you.
24.Why do the two women's groups want to get the embroidery?
A.It has secret messages about their groups.
B.It can help them find Book of Wonders.
C.It is the evidence of the killing of the owner
D.It is an old thing worth millions of dollars.
25.What can we infer about the young graduate?
A.She has much experience in solving cases.
B.She knows the professor well before the case.
C.She has great ability in translating ancient texts.
D.She joins the women's group before being hired.

26.Why did the writer not enjoy the book?
A.The topics did not interest the writer.
B.The story was too simple for the writer.
C.The descriptions of Scotland were not good.
D.The writer hated the first-person writing style.
27.What type of passage is this?
A.A travel guide.
B.A news report.
C.A personal diary.
D.A book review.

How is it December already?Where did 2025 go?And how did we suddenly go from eating
Easter eggs to putting up Christmas trees?To understand why our feeling of time seems to
change,we need to first learn how our brains sense time.The term"time perception()"is
actually a bit misleading,because time itself is not something "outside"that we can directly
sense.
When we see colors,hear sounds,taste flavors or feel touches,special body parts pick up
signals from the environment:like light waves entering our eyes,sound waves in our ears,
chemicals in food,or the pressure of objects on our skin.But there's no special part for sensing
time一no“time particles(微粒)”that the brain can detect..
Our brains don't feel time directly;they guess it.Just like a clock,the brain judges how
much time has passed by following changes.But unlike a clock,it has no regular ticks ()
To guess time,the brain simply counts how many things happen.If you fill your time with
interesting activities,it seems to last longer.In experiments,a flashing picture feels longer than a
still one of the same time.Brains tell time by tracking changes.
This explains why exciting or scary events(like car accidents)make time seem to slow
down.In a famous study,people fell backwards into a net from over 30 meters high.When asked
how long the experience lasted,they said it was 30%longer than watching others fall.Strong
emotions make people pay more attention,so the brain stores more detailed memories.
To know why 2025 passed so fast,we need to tell two ways of judging time:looking back
(how much time passed)and feeling in the moment(how fast time goes).Waiting at the dentist
feels slower than playing with a new toy.The key is what you focus on.The more you pay
attention to time itself,the slower it seems to pass.
28.What does the underlined word"detect"in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Discover.B.Ignore.C.Doubt.D.Control.
29.How do our brains judge the passing of time?
A.By picking up special“time particles'”.
B.By following the regular ticks like a clock.
C.By sensing the number of things that happen.
D.By feeling the pressure from the environment.
30.Why is the famous study mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To show falling from high places is scary.
B.To show people often misjudge time in danger.
C.To prove watching others fall takes more time.
D.To prove strong emotions slow time perception.
31.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How people make time pass slowly.
B.What time perception studies tell us.

C.Why our perception of time changes.
D.When people sense time going quickly.

Scientists from the University of Otago's Christchurch Medical School have discovered a
direct connection between people's vitamin C intake and their skin's ability to produce collagen
(胶原蛋白)and renew itself.The study,published in thee Journal of Investigative Dermatology,
clearly shows that skin health is influenced by vitamin C from daily food,not just by topical(
)creams applied to the skin surface.It also found that vitamin C levels in the skin are closely
related to those in the blood.Therefore,eating more foods rich in vitamin C can effectively
increase vitamin C levels in both the blood and the skin.
The research included 24 healthy adults from New Zealand and Germany.Those eating two
SunGold kiwifruits daily raised blood vitamin C levels and saw a clear increase in skin vitamin C.
This made skin thicker-due to more collagen-and sped up outer skin renewal.Lead researcher
Professor Margreet Vissers described the results as surprising and said the strong connection
between skin thickness and vitamin C intake is fully believable.
She noted the connection between blood and skin vitamin C is clearer than in other organs.
"We were surprised by how closely blood vitamin C levels are connected to those in the skin,"
she said.The research team also discovered that vitamin C in the blood can reach all layers of the
skin and help the skin work better.Though vitamin C is often added to skincare products,it is not
well taken in through the outer skin.However,skin cells can take in vitamin C from the blood
very well.
SunGold kiwifruits were chosen for the study because they always have a high vitamin C
content.But the researchers believe other foods rich in vitamin C,such as oranges and berries,
can bring similar benefits to the skin.It is important to keep steady vitamin C levels in the blood
because the human body does not store vitamin C for a long time.Professor Vissers suggested
that healthy people can reach the best blood vitamin C levels with about 250mg of vitamin C
every day through their diet.
32.What affects skin health according to the study?
A.Water taken in by the skin.
B.Vitamin C from food intake.
C.Collagen from skin products.
D.Topical skincare creams alone.
33.What is Professor Vissers'attitude towards the study results?
A.Doubtful.B.Approving.C.Unconcerned.D.Objective.
34.Why are vitamin C-rich skincare products less effective?
A.They lack enough collagen.
B.They are not used in a proper way.
C.They don't suit all skin types.
D.They are poorly taken in through skin
35.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Vitamin C Intake and Skin Health
B.Blood Vitamin C and Skin Vitamin C
C.Skincare Products and Vitamin C Intake
D.Collagen Production and Skin Thickness

Setting Clear Goals for Your Study
Do you want to improve your grades?Just remember this saying:"The only way to achieve
great things is to set clear goals."Setting clear goals is a powerful way to help you study.Goals
provide direction and a sense of success.
36
The Importance of Goals
第3页
Goals play a main role in keeping you motivated.37Without a clear purpose,you
might feel lost in your daily school life.Goals help you stay on track and maintain your interest.
Moreover,setting goals helps you develop important skills like self-control and time
management.
Set Realistic Goals
To set good goals,you must first know your own strengths and interests.38
For
example,if you are good at English but weak in Math,your goals for them should be different.
Try to use"SMART"goals-goals that are Specific,Measurable,Achievable,Relevant,and
Time-bound.This gives you a clear plan instead of just a vague wish.
Break It Down
Sometimes,a long-term goal can look huge and scary.39 By identifying specific
steps,you can start with confidence.You can create a to-do list to decide which tasks are most
important.This helps you organize your time effectively and finish your work step by step.
Monitor and Celebrate
Regularly checking your progress is key to success.You should track how well you are
doing towards your goals.40Recognizing your effort gives you a sense of pride.This
positive feeling will encourage you to keep learning and growing.
A.They act as a map for success and keep you focused.
B.If you fail to reach a goal,you should give up immediately.
C.You need to set goals that match your own ability and level.
D.Asking your teachers for help is also a good way to improve.
E.This allows you to celebrate your small achievements along the way.
F.In this article,we will look at how to make goal-setting work for you.
G.Therefore,dividing the big goal into manageable parts is completely necessary.

The school's sports meeting was coming,but in our class,everyone,including me,wouldn't
like to try when facing the long-distance running event.We found helplessness in the teacher's
eyes.Though she tried to raise our sense of honor and the courage to challenge ourselves,all of
us chose to be silent.
Just as the teacher was about to give up the event,a familiar voice came:"Tim and I sign up
for the long race!"I seemed to hear my heartbeat racing.Me?Long run?How is this possible?I
had never been in a running race.I looked up sharply and fixed my eyes on my best friend Todd,
who was smiling at me."I...I have never been..."I murmured.Before I could finish,he came
over,patted me gently on the shoulder,and said:"Don't be afraid.I'll help you."Then the
classroom suddenly burst into cheers.At that moment,the fear in my heart was quickly replaced
by a strong sense of responsibility.
In the days that followed,Todd became my"coach".He carefully made a training plan and
spent all our spare time on the playground.We practised a lot,sweated together and ran faster
and faster.Every time I wanted to give up,Todd would encourage me with a smile,"If you are
tired,just look at me!"His warm smile and encouraging words always made me regain
confidence.
Several weeks later,the big day came.
