Years ago, I disliked exercise. My gym visits were nothing but short treadmill (跑步机) walks and 31 attempts at weights, thus I even persuaded members to 32 classes for happy hours. Exercise wasn’t fun — until a personal crisis 33 me to seek relief through fitness.
Then came the turning point. I joined Adria’s training studio. As both owner and coach, she was good at motivating me. Before long, I was seeing 34 both in body and mind. Not only did I come across a great trainer, but I also gained a friend. However, exhausted from running her studio alone, Adria joked, “I wish you’d get certified-you’re the only one I’d trust with the keys.” I laughed it off, knowing that was impossible. Me? A trainer? — but her words 35 me. After weeks of hesitation, I 36 the ACE certification course.
Studying proved 37 because memorizing muscle groups and safety regulations was challenging for me. 38 , I often stayed up late reviewing notes after finishing daily chores.

Now at 54, my certification hangs proudly on the wall, a reminder that 43 lasts longer than passing motivation. I’ve learned that 44 starts when you step outside your comfort zone. Adria didn’t just teach me about fitness she showed me that belief from others can 45 the courage to believe in yourself. 46 this belief, I now guide new learners at the studio every weekend.
Every time I walk into the studio and see that certificate, I’m reminded: it’s never too late to 47 your story. 48 the doubts I once had, I now encourage others to chase their dreams.

Most runners choose their routes based on distance or surface. Some pick flat roads for steady speed while others choose hills for a tougher workout. But for Lenny Maughan, running is more than fitness — it is also a way to make art.
Maughan, who calls himself a “human Etch A Sketch”, creates GPS drawing — pictures made by GPS tracking — by running through the streets of San Francisco. He got the idea from apps that runners use to record their routes. “When I was a kid, I was known” for drawing funny pictures of people. I had a real talent for it,” he said. “I forgot about it until a little over 10 years ago.”
Maughan begins by carefully mapping his design on a paper map of San Francisco. He often needs to map out several different routes before finding one that works. His goal is to create images that are clear and easily recognizable. Once the route is planned, Maughan runs his “masterpiece”, using a GPS app called Strava to track his movement. However, Strava only shows the full image after the run is complete. That means Maughan has to follow his planned path very carefully. One wrong turn can ruin the artwork. “You can’t see the drawing while you run,” Maughan explained. “So when you finish and finally see it come together, it’s a wonderful feeling.”
Over the past ten years, the San Francisco runner has created more than 50 images, from a simple heart to the Star Trek Enterprise. In February 2025, he spent 10 hours running 40 miles to create a snake in honor of the Lunar New Year. But his most famous creation is a line portrait of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo completed in 2019. That image covered almost 29 miles and involved a lot of climbing. “I like to say my canvas is San Francisco,” said Maughan. “I love running and I love art. This is a nice way to combine them both.”
56. What inspired Maughan to start GPS running art?
A. A childhood art class. B. A famous artist’s advice.
C. His love for San Francisco. D. Path-recording applications.
57. Why must Maughan follow his route precisely?
A. In order not to get lost. B. Because the app requires it.
C. To complete his drawing well. D. To stay away from heavy traffic.
58. What is Maughan’s best-known GPS artwork?
A. A heart shape. B. A snake drawing. C. Frida Kahlo portrait. D. Star Trek Enterprise.
59. Which of the following can be inferred about Maughan’s GPS running art?
A. It can be easily completed by any regular runner with a GPS app.
B. The longer the running distance, the more recognizable the artwork is.
C. It requires both careful pre-planning and high concentration during execution.
D. It is mainly created to promote the tourism of San Francisco.
60. What can we infer about Maughan’s personality?
A. Strict and disciplined. B. Creative and passionate.
C. Competitive and ambitious. D. Adventurous and outgoing.
C
Tomatoes and fries make a tasty pair. But the connection between tomatoes and potatoes may go beyond making a good meal. Potatoes today might have evolved with the help of an early tomato, according to a new paper published in a leading scientific journal recently.
A team of scientists analyzed the genomes (基因组) of wild potatoes, tomatoes, and their ancestors. They found that each potato species contains a mix of genetics from tomatoes and a potato-like ancestor, suggesting the modern potato resulted from an event between the two. “This is one of the largest genomic collections of wild potatoes ever analyzed,” says Zhiyang Zhang, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the lead author of the study.
Scientists already knew that tomatoes and potatoes were related to some degree — both belong to the Solanum (茄属植物) group, after all, along with the eggplant. And potatoes and tomatoes are each other’s closest living relatives. So, they took a closet look at their genes. Zhang and his team found that wild tomato plants interbred with a potato-like plant genes called Etuberosum around nine million years ago. Alone, neither plant had the genes to make these underground parts — but together, they could grow the feature.
That event, the authors suggest, occurred in the Andes Mountains. The underground parts allowed the potato to survive in this unforgiving habitat and spread across the world. They enabled plants to reproduce without seeds, making them adaptable. “Evolving these underground parts gave potatoes a huge advantage in hard environments, fueling an explosion of new species,” says Sanwen Huang, a genome researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the study’s senior author, in a statement.
Zhang’s team hopes that understanding the potato’s evolution can help scientists develop innovative ways to breed the species and make the food stronger today. Zhang is already looking into ways potatoes might be grown from seeds. Seed potatoes could be more genetically diverse and resistant to various risks, such as drought. The work also demonstrates how different species can be unexpectedly connected by evolution. “Next time you eat potatoes,” Huang adds, “thank a tomato.”
61. Why does the author mention “tomatoes and fries”?
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To show their different flavors.
C. To summarize the content of the text.
D. To compare their evolutionary patterns.
62. How did the scientists mainly conduct their study?
A. They checked some genetic information. B. They observed the ancestor plants’ seeds.
C. They studied modern potatoes’ different fruits. D. They analyzed potatoes and tomatoes’ relatives.
63. What does the underlined word “interbred” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Survived together. B. Disappeared together.
C. Produced young together. D. Made changes together.
64. What can be inferred about the underground parts of potatoes?
A. They have become less important for potato survival as the species spread globally.
B. They are directly responsible for the current ability of potatoes to resist drought.
C. Their development played a key role in helping potatoes adapt to harsh environments.
D. They were already present in wild potatoes before the species reached the Andes Mountains.
65. What do Sanwen Huang and Zhiyang Zhang stress?
A. The necessity of thanking potatoes.
B. The importance of studying potatoes’ evolution.
C. The key to learning the risks of planting potatoes.
D. The solution to improving potatoes’ living environments.

I never planned to fake my data. My project involved interviewing the customers who were visiting a games shop in central London, then measuring the distance they had travelled. Arriving at the location with a clipboard, I realized that I didn’t have the nerve. I went home and began to dream up some realistic-seeming numbers. I am a little ashamed of myself. However, I was about 14 years old at the time. I am confident that the scientific record has not been corrupted by my sins
I wish I could say that only school children fake data, but the evidence suggests otherwise. Stuart Ritchie’s book Science Fictions argues that “fraud in science is not the rare scenario that we desperately hope it to be”.
This matters. Fraudulent research wastes the time of scientists who try to build on it, as well as the money of funding agencies that support it. It undermines the reputation of good science. Above all, if the insights produced by good science make the world better, then false beliefs produced by fraudulent science make the world worse.
Consider the desperate search for treatments for the flu. Medical researchers have struggled to test out treatments from vitamin D to the deworming (除虫) drug ivermectin (伊维除虫菌素), but the results have often been small or flawed studies. However, an influential working paper, published late last year, described a large trial with very positive results for ivermectin. It gave a lot of people hope and inspired the use of ivermectin around the world, although the European Medicines Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration advise against ivermectin’s use to treat the disease.
The research paper was withdrawn on July 14, after several researchers discovered anomalies (反常现象) in the underlying data. Some patients appeared to have died before the study even began, while other patient records seemed to be duplicates (复制品). There may be an innocent explanation for this but it certainly raises questions.
On August 17, there was an unsettling development in a quite different field, behavioral science. Data detectives Uri Simonsohn, Joe Simmons, Leif Nelson and anonymous co-authors published a forensic (法医的) analysis of a well-known experiment about dishonesty. The experiment, published in 2012, was based on data from a motor insurer in which customers had supplied information about mileage along with a declaration that the information was true. Some signed the declaration at the top of the document, while others signed at the bottom and those who signed at the top were more likely to tell the truth.
It’s an intuitive (直观的) and influential discovery. The only problem with this, according to Simonsohn and his colleagues, is that it is apparently based on faked data. “There is very strong evidence that the data were fabricated,” they conclude. Several of the authors of the original article have published statements agreeing. What remains to be seen is who or what was behind the suspected fabrication. Dan Ariely, the most famous of the authors of the original study, was the one who brought the data to the collaboration. He told me in an email that “at no point did I knowingly use unreliable, inaccurate, or manipulated data in our research”, expressing regret that he did not sufficiently check the data that were supplied to him by the insurance company.
Both episodes are disheartening: science is hard enough when everyone involved is acting in good faith. Scientists need to get back the traditional values of the field, which include the open sharing of scientific ideas and data, and rigorous scrutiny (严格审查) of those ideas.
66. Why did the author fake his data in the school project?
A. Because he wanted to impress his teacher.
B. Because he lacked the tools to collect real data.
C. Because he was afraid of interacting with the customers.
D. Because he was too young to understand the impact of his actions.
67. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of faking data as described in the passage?
A. The waste of time and funding. B. The misuse of the research facilities.
C. The corruption of the integrity of science. D. The promotion of false beliefs that harm society.
68. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. The ivermectin study’s flaws were discovered by health authorities.
B. The issue of faking data is more widespread in the medical field.
C. The behavioral study’s data was initially believed to be reliable.
D. The intention of the insurance company remains to be known.
69. What was the primary reason the 2012 behavioral science study about dishonesty became questionable?
A. The experimental design was fundamentally flawed and not intuitive.
B. The journal that published it later retracted the paper due to public pressure.
C. Data analysis revealed strong evidence that the data had been fabricated.
D. The insurance company that provided the data admitted to errors in its records.
70. The following part of the passage will most likely discuss _________.
A. reasons for data fabrication
B. effects of fraud on scientific progress
C. case studies of scientific fraud in various fields
D. measures to preserve the traditional values of science

My job consists of planning, producing operating scientific instruments in-flight, and I am grateful for having worked on missions on Saturn, the Moon, and our own planet Earth.
When I was a high-schooler, I was unsure of what college I wanted to attend, or what major I wanted to choose. After receiving an email from a college called Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) I decided to apply to a summer program they were offering with the encouragement of my mom. After taking part in that program, I knew that MIT was the right university for me. The enthusiastic students and endless opportunities developed a feeling of belonging in me that led me to apply and eventually get accepted.
The most exciting and fulfilling part of being an engineer is that I am able to work on projects that benefit humans. What they may not imagine is the great body of work being done to study our own home — Earth. I am thankful to have a career that to commit myself to that allows me responsibility. The most exciting part of my career has been seeing the end of the Cassini mission to Saturn. Some of the people on the team had been working on the mission for longer than I had been alive; but they still treated me as one of their own. I was given the opportunity to operate the cameras that would catch breathtaking images of the planet. And when the Cassini spacecraft had run out of fuel, I quickly learned that it was not just the end of the mission, but the end of a team. The night we watched with bittersweet longing as its signal faded to nothing is something that I will always keep in my memories. And while Cassini will be remembered for its historic contributions, what I will remember it for is the team it brought together.
My friends often ask why a girl could achieve all these. I always grew up as a big fan of fiction. I read the Harry Potter books and loved anything fantasy. I realized that the common theme of hero stories is that the hero must always make a choice to start their adventure. If you don’t pick up the sword in your own story because you are afraid of what may happen next, you risk not having a story at all.
71. Why did the author apply to MIT? (No more than 8 words)
72. What does the author think about her job according to Paragraph 3? (No more than 15 words)
73. How did the author feel when seeing the end of the Cassini mission to Satern? (No more than 8 words)
74. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 means? (No more than 2 words)
75. What can you learn from the story? Put it in your own words. (No more than 25 words)
