College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of their students.Yet,
Tatiana Erukhimova,who teaches physics at Texas A&M University in the United States,has
managed to get her students excited about science.
Known as "Dr.Tatiana",the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and
enthusiasm.Videos of her theatrical demonstrations have racked up()hundreds of millions of
views across social media platforms.In the videos,Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in
her experiments,from ping pong balls and toilet paper to bicycle wheels and hair dryers.
It's clear she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science.But it isn't
always that way.When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago,she
struggled to grab the attention of her younger students.She was used to teaching juniors and found it
easier to teach them."By junior year,students enrolled in physics are determined to learn,"she says.
"But when it comes to teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students,first impressions
are important.Unfortunately,I did not grab their attention on the first day-that was my mistake."
By the second semester,she found her footing,adjusting her approach to making her lecture
halls feel smaller and get her students engaged."Talk to your students before and after class.Walk up
and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage,"she says."And add
showy demonstrations,which help students connect the abstract concepts with real life."
Erukhimova has earned more than just recognition on social media.In October 2023,she was
honored with a national award for science outreach for leadership in bringing the excitement of
physics through innovative education programs.
24.What can we infer about Erukhimova from the first two paragraphs?
A.She likes to play a trick on her students.
3/8
B.She wants to be popular on social media.
C.She excites widespread interest in science.
D.She is passionate about making online videos.
25.Why did Erukhimova find it easier to teach juniors?
A.Juniors showed a higher level of commitment to learning.
B.She didn't have to worry about first impressions
C.She used simpler teaching methods for juniors.
D.Juniors could study entirely on their own.
26.How did Erukhimova find her footing in the second semester?
A.By improving her communication skills.
B.By following a traditional teaching method.
C.By reducing the number of students in the class.
D.By making herself approachable and her teaching engaging.
27.Which of the following best describes Erukhimova?
A.Ambitious.
B.Enthusiastic.
C.Demanding.
D.Hardworking.
C
As human species,our big brains and flexible hands have always made us feel special.However,
in a study published in the journal Communications Biology,researchers investigated nearly 100
primate species including monkeys,apes and humans and revealed that the creatures with longer
thumbs(拇指)usually had larger brains.
The researchers assumed that our ancestors first evolved (hand flexibility,which then
promoted the development of a larger brain.For instance,as primates'control of objects improved,
their brains would have had to become bigger to use these abilities,Joanna Baker,lead author of the
study said."Ultimately,though,the two needed to go hand in hand,"she adds.
While Baker and her colleagues predicted that longer thumbs would be tied to growth of the
cerebellum-the part of the brain that influences movement and coordination(),the team was
surprised to find that they are actually associated with the neocortex,a large region involved in
cognition and sensory information.This suggests that longer thumbs are "linked to thinking,not
movement."Later,they tested the idea that the evolution of longer thumbs is associated with tool use,
but they didn't find any correlation.
Ultimately,"we've always known that our big brains and sharp fingers set us apart,but now we
can see they didn't evolve separately,"Baker says.The study suggests our species is not quite as
unique as we once thought,and it also represents the first direct evidence that brain evolution and
hand flexibility are associated throughout the primate family tree.
Fotios Alexandros Karakostis,a biological anthropologist who was not involved in the study,
comments that the research indicates that adaptations to the brain and hand likely evolved together.
However,he notes that the brain size and thumb length cannot take only credit for the brain evolution
or high level of hand coordination.
28.What was the assumption of the researchers according to paragraph 2?
A.Brain evolution determined hand size.B.Bigger brains made humans intelligent.
C.Object control was easy for ancestors.D.Hand flexibility drove brain development.
29.Why does the author mention "tool use"in paragraph 3?
A.To make a prediction.
B.To clarify a concept.
C.To present a different view.
D.To offer supporting evidence.
30.What is Karakostis'attitude towards the research?
4/8
A.Favourable.B.Objective.
C.Doubtful.
D.Indifferent.
31.What is the main idea of the text?
A.The bigger the brain,the longer the thumb.
B.Big brains and sharp fingers set humans apart.
C.Primate brains and thumbs evolve together.
D.Evolution mainly depends on brains and hands.

Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers,you haven't spoken a word.You haven't
heard one either.Yet something is already being said.You might feel the slight pressure of a look from
across the room.You sense comfort in the way another person smiles-not just with their lips,but
with their whole face.You know who is confident,who is nervous,who seems open,and who seems
closed.All this happens before a single word is spoken.
This isn't magic.It's the mind's secret language.It's the silent,invisible force beneath every
human interaction,shaping our relationships,influencing our judgments,and connecting us in ways
that words never could.
Long before you learned to talk,you were already a master of silent communication.Babies just
days old can detect eye contact.They respond to tone,rhythm and facial expressions.They cry to
signal need and smile to build bonds ()No vocabulary is needed.
This is the foundation of what neuroscientists call social cognition-the brain's ability to
understand and respond to others.Our brains are built for connection.We don't just observe others:
we simulate (their actions inside ourselves.When you see someone smile,your brain activates
the same regions that fire when you yourself smile.This is the basis of mirror neurons,a system
discovered in the 1990s that helps explain how we "feel"what others feel.
From babyhood,we start building a theory of mind.This means understanding that others have
their own separate thoughts,feelings and intentions.We use this knowledge constantly,mostly
without speaking.You don't need someone to say,"I'm depressed."You recognize it in how they shut
a door firmly or avoid meeting your eyes.
This skill to sense others-to read their mental state from their face,posture,gestures,voice
tone and even silences-is the essential foundation of human connection.It explains our talent for
storytelling,teamwork,and caring.It's also why misunderstandings can happen so easily.
32.What can we learn about babies according to paragraph 3?
A.They learn words quickly.
B.They bond through smiles.
C.They ignore facial expressions.
D.They rarely signal needs.
33.Why does the author mention"mirror neurons"?
A.To describe brain diseases.
B.To explain sharing others'feelings.
C.To argue against social cognition.
D.To prove speech's importance.
34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.How brains process language.
B.Why people avoid eye contact.
C.The role of the theory of mind.
D.The discovery of babies'abilities.
35.What ability is a key function of the theory of mind?
A.Predicting weather changes.
B.Creating complex vocabulary.
C.Understanding others'intentions.
D.Memorizing scientific terms.
第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A trip to a theme park promises excitement,but a little planning can make the experience even
5/8
better.
Start by researching the park before you go.Check its official website or app for maps,ride
descriptions and show schedules.Many parks,like Disneyland or Universal Studios,offer real-time
updates on wait times,helping you strategize your day.36.Buying tickets online in advance
often saves both time and money,and some parks even allow you to reserve access to popular
attractions before arrival.
Arriving early is another smart move.Gates often open before the official start time,and being
among the first inside means shorter lines for major rides.37.
Consider using skip-the-line options if available.Many parks offer paid fast-track systems,such
as Universal's Express Pass or Disney's Genie',which let you bypass long waits for key rides.While
these cost extra,they can be worth it if you want to fit more into your visit.38.Lines for
food can be just as long as those for rides,so try having lunch before noon or having an early dinner.
Don't forget to take care of yourself.Theme parks involve a lot of walking,so wear comfortable
shoes and take breaks when needed.39-catch a show,explore air-conditioned shops,or
simply relax in a shaded area.
Finally,end your day on a high note.Many parks host impressive nighttime events,like
fireworks or light parades.40.
A.Midday heat offers a perfect chance to rest indoors
B.Head straight to popular rides first to beat the crowds
C.Another strategy is adjusting meal times to avoid queues
D.Watching a show during mealtime refreshes your energy
E.Find a viewing spot early since these events attract masses
F.This preparation step is key to avoiding crowds and delays
G.Buying sunscreen at the park entrance is also recommended
