Amazing Train Journeys
The Beijing to Lhasa Express, China
Departs daily;Distance-2,330 miles;Duration-40 hours
Linking the royal wonders of Beijing with the dreamlike palaces of Lhasa, the Z21 train travels from the modernity of urban China to a once-remote land. Running westward, the train climbs nearly 16,400 ft (5,000 m) on its journey to the roof of the world: the Tibetan Plateau.
London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper, UK
Departs daily; Distance-509 miles; Duration-13 hours 30 minutes
This overnight train journey is filled with the romance of rail travel. It's just a pity that the whole experience-from dining-car chatting and light beer, to being carried into a la-la land by the rhythm of the rails and waking to bedside views of towering peaks-feels like it's over in a flash. Though it may be short, the Caledonian is surely Britain's best train ride.
Tazara Railway, Tanzania and Zambia
Departs twice a week;Distance-1,160 miles;Duration-46 hours
Few trains offer the chance of spotting big game from your seat, but the Tazara Railway does exactly that. For many, the highlight is neither the scenery nor the wildlife, though; it's the chance to spend two days watching everyday life out of the window, and enjoying the crowds and chaos when the train pulls to a stop.
Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway, Peru
Departs twice a week; Distance-241 miles;Duration-10 hours
Traveling across the Altiplano, from the shores of Lake Titicaca to the beating heart of the Inca capital, the railway from Puno to Cuzco cuts a picturesque path through the snow-dusted peaks and fantastic valleys of the Andes. Passengers can enjoy the landscape from an open-air observatory car, as they travel through remote towns and villages.
1.What do the first two train journeys have in common
A. They make weekly departure.
B.They are over a thousand miles.
C.They travel to highlands.
D.They are the longest train rides nationwide.
2.On which journey can passengers watch people's daily life outside the train
A.Tazara Railway.
B.The Beijing to Lhasa Express.
C.Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway.
D.London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper.
3. What can passengers do on Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway

B. Admire the view in the open air.
C.Go through two countries on a journey.
D. Have a deep understanding of towns and villages.
B
A hungry badger（獾） searching for food seems to have uncovered what turned out to be hundreds of Roman coins in a Spanish cave, according to a new study.
Archaeologists（考古学家）first discovered several coins laying on the ground at the entrance to a small cave in the woodlands outside Grado in northern Spain in April 2021. The researchers suspect that the coins were unearthed by a badger from a nearby den （兽窝） after a heavy snow which made it harder for animals to find food. The hungry badger probably got into the cave looking for food but came across the coins instead.
After fully exploring the cave, researchers collected 209 coins dating to between the third and fifth centuries A. D. “To date, this is the largest amount of Roman coins found in a cave in northern Spain,” the researchers wrote in their paper. They described the discovery as an “exceptional find”.
In the late 1930s, a collection of 14 gold Roman coins, known as the Chapipi treasure, was also found in the same woodlands. The researchers believe that local people may have buried their coins to keep them safe during a period of intense political instability in the region. The most recent coin in the newly-discovered Grado collection dates to A.D.430,which was after the Suebi-a group of Germanic people originally from modern-day Germany and the Czech Republic-pushed the Romans out of Spain in A. D. 409, according to El Pais.
The researchers suspect that the newly-discovered coins are part of a vaster treasure and will return to the cave for further exploration to look for more coins and evidence that the cave may also have been the home of displaced Roman people. “We want to know if it was a one-off hiding place, or if there was a group of humans living there,” lead researcher Alfonso Fanjul Peraza told El Pais.
4.Where did the researchers find the first few coins in 2021
A.Near a Spanish cave. B. On a Spanish playground.
C.At the entrance to a woodland. D.In a badger's den.
5.What do the researchers think of the discovery in 2021
A.It's dangerous. B.It's timely.
C.It's meaningless. D.It's unusual.
6. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 4
A.The Romans. B.The coins.
C.The woodlands. D.The researchers.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.More information may be revealed by the coins.
B.The ancient Roman people had a unique lifestyle.
C.The researchers doubt the former guess of the coins.
D.The researchers will return the coins to the Roman people.
C
It's an attractive idea: by playing online problem-solving, matching and other games for a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal skills（语言能力）and memory. But whether these games deliver on those promises is up for debate. “For every study that finds some evidence, there's an equal number of papers that find no evidence，” says Bobby Stojanoski， a cognitive（认知 的）psychologist at Western University in Ontario.
Recently, in perhaps the biggest real-world study of these programs, Stojanoski and his team found 8,563 volunteers. First, participants filled out an online questionnaire about their training habits and which, if any, program they used. Some 1,009 participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months on average, though durations ranged from two weeks to more than five years. Next, the volunteers completed12 cognitive tests assessing memory, reasoning and verbal skills. They faced memory exercises, spatial reasoning tasks, pattern-finding puzzles and strategy challenges.
When researchers looked at the results, they saw that brain trainers on average had no mental edge over the other group in memory, verbal skills and reasoning. Even among those who had used training programs for at least 18 months, brain training didn't boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didn't use the programs.
“No matter how we sliced the data, we were unable to find any testimony that brain training was associated with cognitive abilities,” says Stojanoski. That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age, program used, education or socioeconomic status（地位）-all were cognitively similar to the group who didn’t use the programs.
“Brain training may be beneficial in specific situations, but real world may be the best brain trainer,” says Elizabeth Stine-Morrow, a cognitive aging scientist at the University of Illinois. While it's possible to improve mental abilities, Stine-Morrow advocates practicing those skills in different real-life situations, “That's a much better use of one's time than sitting at a computer and doing little tasks.”
8. What is the recent study mainly about
A.The importance of memory. B. The dark side of online games.
C.The effect of brain training games. D.The way to improve mental abilities.
9.What were the volunteers asked to do in the first part of the study
A.Report their daily habits. B.Take some memory tests.
C.Receive some online training. D.Complete a questionnaire.
10. What does the underlined word “testimony” mean in Paragraph 4
A.Enhancement. B.Evidence. C.Solution. D.Trouble.
11.What does Stine-Morrow say about mental abilities
A.They need to be trained regularly.
B. They'll be harmed by using computers.
C.They may change in different situations.
D. They'll be improved through real-life tasks.
D
To tackle the problem of tiny plastics polluting waterways, chemists in the Czech Republic are thinking small. Their brainchild is a new microrobot which is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down.
Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University led the project. A decade ago, he chose to focus on the problem posed by microplastics. They're everywhere-from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They've turned up in drinking water. Some studies estimate that billions of pieces of plastic end up in the world's waters. The plastic has many sources, from shopping bags to washing and cleaning wipes.
In lab experiments, the star-shaped swimmers stuck onto each of four different types of plastic. And after a week exposed to light, the robots had reduced the weight of the plastics. It wasn't much-only by percent. But that was an indication that they were breaking the plastic down. They also caused the surface of the plastic to change from smooth to rough. That's another sign that the robots were degrading （分解）it. The new study is a proof of concept type. That means it shows something can be done successfully.
In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. There are many types of plastics. And even these microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading them all. The researchers also have not yet shown how safe this system is for the environment, although Pumera says that's their next goal. The first real-world test will be in a wastewater-treatment plant. “Indeed,” says one researcher. “We’ll need a lot of testing to show that they're safe in open waterways, such as at sea.”
12. The microrobots are powered by
A.water B.sunlight C.plastics D.pencils
13.What does the author focus on in Paragraph 2
A. The purpose of Pumera's project.
B.The preciousness of drinking water.
C.The seriousness of plastic pollution.
D.The working principle of the microrobots.
14.What shows the effectiveness of the microrobots in lab experiments
A.The weight loss of the plastics.
B.The disappearance of the plastics.
C.The shape change of the microrobots.
D.The improvement in the purity of water.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Ways to Obtain Cleaner Drinking Water
B.Microrobots Invented to Treat Wastewater
C.New Hope for the Solution to Plastic Pollution
D.Technology Widely Applied in Environment Protection

True, people remember what you wear. After a social event, we all remember the woman in red, or the man with the top hat. On the red carpet, Hollywood hopefuls take advantage of this reality by wearing outfits designed to be discussed and displayed on the front pages of newspapers. But in terms of making a good impression, being memorable is not just about novelty or fashion, but attraction, both physical and emotional, often in opposite order of importance.
In a 2020 study, Andre Ndobo found people tended to remember the extremes: both attractive and unattractive faces. He acknowledged that one suggested explanation was that "both are characterized by distinctive features that promote facial recognitionwhen compared with faces of average attractiveness. But while distinctiveness is memorable, beauty is skin deep. Accordingly, the way you are remembered by others is often not about what you wear and how you look but about the way you make people feel.
Professional interaction can create positive personal memories. Adrie A. Koehler, in a piece entitled "In the Eye of the Beholder" (2017) , found that when asked to recall their best learning experience, many students discussed a memorable teacher. What made the teachers memorable According to the students, memorable qualities included not only teaching styles, but also interpersonal skills and positive qualities such as a sense of humor.
We can relate to the results of this study when recalling people who are memorable in our own lives. They are not always people who we believed to be the smartest or most believed, but often those who made us feel the most comfortable, and who were most interested in us. Sincere interest is uniquely attractive. Not only will you remember what someone said, but they will also remember you, fondly.
Regardless of what we wear or how we look, we are always naturally more appealing and approachable when we focus on others and when we are genuine rather than simply sociable. Remember that, and others will remember you.
4.The Hollywood hopefuls are mentioned to show .
the competition on the red carpet B. people's attempt to be remembered
C. people's wrong belief about impression D. the importance of clothing in one's success
5.Why is an unattractive face remembered according to Andre Ndobo
It creates positive memories. B. There's something special with it.
C. It makes people feel uncomfortable. D. People often try hard to avoid seeing it.
6.What can we infer from the text
Smart people are especially attractive.
Teaching styles impress students most.
The best learning experience is hard to gain.
Sincere attention is useful in communication.
7.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. You Are What You Wear B. Mind the Impression You Make
C. How Can We Improve Our Self-image D. What do People Remember about You

The over 48,000 orange trees that are distributed at all corners of Seville, Spain, not only fill the city's air with the pleasant smell of their flowers in spring, they also produce over 16, 500 tons of fruit every winter. Though that makes the city Europe's top orange-producing city, the fruit is too sour to be consumed fresh. While some of the produce is used to make orange juice, most of it ends up in Seville's landfills. However, that may change soon thanks to a creative idea to use the oranges to produce clean energy.
In the pilot program, juice from 38. 6 tons of oranges will be left to ferment （发酵）in an existing biogas facility. The juice is fructose （果糖）made up of very short carbon chains, and the energetic performance of these carbon chains during the fermentation process is particularly high. The gas released from the fermented liquid will be used to drive a generator to produce clean power. The officials estimate the test run will generate about 1,500 kWh of energy—enough to run a water purification plant. "It's not just about saving money. The oranges are a problem for the city, and we're producing added value from waste,M said Benigno Lopez, the head of Emasesa's environmental department.
If successful, by 2023, the city hopes to recycle all the oranges and add the electricity generated back to its grid （电网）.In trial runs, 1,000 kilos （2,200 pounds） of oranges produced 50 kWh of clean energy一enough to meet the daily electricity needs of five homes. The project team estimates that if all the fruit is recycled, it will produce enough energy to power as many as 73,000 residences.
The latest effort is among the many programs implemented in Spain to achieve the country's goal of switching its electricity system to renewable sources by 2050一and if everything goes according to plan, fully decarbonizing its economy shortly after that.
8.What problem does Seville face
A. It is short of energy. B. Most oranges are wasted.
C. Fruit production is falling. D. Trees take up much space.
9.What's the final product of the fermentation process
A. Fructose. B. Carbon chains. C. Clean power. D. Gas.
10.What does the underlined word "implemented" in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Conducted. B. Assumed. C. Popularized. D. Completed.
11.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text
A. To prove a theory. B. To raise a problem.
C. To introduce a project. D. To comment on an idea.

In a new study, shark researchers working off the eastern coast of New Zealand have found that three species of deep-sea shark are bioluminescent （生物性发光的），producing a soft blue-green light with specialized cells in their skin.
One of the species, the kitefin shark, grows to a length of nearly six feet, making it the largest known bioluminescent animal. The other two species are somewhat smaller than the kitefin, and all are occasionally caught as unintended by-catch by fishers. None are considered in danger of extinction, but little is known about their lifestyles and biology.
Bioluminescence had previously been documented in only around a dozen shark species, so this discovery significantly adds to our knowledge,,, says Jerome Mallefet, lead author of the new study.
In the deep sea, where scientists estimate three-quarters of all creatures are bioluminescent, having the ability to create light can be extremely advantageous. In the depths of the ocean, which receives minimal amounts of sunlight, bioluminescent animals can hide themselves from enemies by producing enough light to match their surroundings. All three species examined in this study have large concentrations of photocytes （发光细 胞）on their undersides, which suggests that these sharks may hide from enemies in just this way.
"The discovery that these three species produce light is not surprising,w says David Ebert, director of the Pacific Shark Research Center. That's because researchers think many more species of sharks are likely capable of producing light一Mallefet estimates that perhaps 10 percent of the 540 known species of sharks are bioluminescent. But Ebert thinks even this is far from the truth. "As the deep-sea shark research advances, that number will go even higher," he says.
Both Ebert and Mallefet hope that more attention will be paid to deep-sea sharks in the future, as the creatures and their habitat are understudied and under threat. "A lot of people know that sharks can bite," says Mallefet, "but few people know that they can produce light in the dark. ”
12.What do we know about the bioluminescent shark species
They were quite difficult to catch,
They preferred to live in the dark.
They were considered to be endangered.
They were little known about before the study.
13.What does the fourth paragraph focus on
A. The function of bioluminescence. B. The significance of the discovery.
C. The terrible surroundings in the sea. D. The usual activities of sea creatures.
14.What does Ebert think of Mallefet's guess at the number of bioluminescent sharks
A. Agreeable. B. Scientific. C. Inaccurate. D. Inspirational.
15.What is Ebert and Mallefet^ common wish
More people will study sharks.
Deep-sea sharks will grow in number.
Deep-sea sharks will receive more attention.
More bioluminescent animals will be found.

I come from a broken family, experiencing my parents' divorce and remarriages. After we grew up, my three siblings and I could go years without speaking. And that is where this story begins.
My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19, I couldn't wait to move away from our home in Wisconsin to live on a farm in Virginia, where I worked as a vet assistant. Jeanne got married at 18, moved to Chicago, and became - well, I didn't know what. We lived separate lives in separate states, and our connection somewhat ended.
When I was 24, I was on a trip to New York City for sightseeing one day, I was crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I had laughed at something and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!" I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up instantly in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled before even turning to look.“Jeanne ”
It was her.“Oh my God!" I screamed, and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to pert. We must have seemed crazy. And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, facing each other and smiling. I couldn't believe it.
I later asked how she'd known it was me - she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn't say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it's infectious. It hits your heart and resonates in your mind.
Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. I see our sister-to-sister miracle as a lesson, a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. It is too easy to remain lost.
24. Why Jeanne and Cheryl were separated
A. Because they both grew up.
B. Because they wanted to escape from the family.
C. Because they were not willing to keep in touch.

I used to think that the most effective way to resist depression (抑郁) was to have my heart set on happiness. If you valued happiness instead of sorrow as your goal, I thought, one would not suffer from depression.
However, a study, carried out among students living in the UK, found those who said they valued happiness extremely highly tended to show greater signs of depression.
Vogt and colleagues presented 151 students, the majority of them female, with a series of online questionnaires, These examined attitudes from how much they valued happiness to how much their emotions affected them, how easy they found it to put aside emotions, and their levels of depression-related symptoms.
The results, published in the Journal of Happiness Studies, reveal that those who valued happiness more had higher scores for symptoms of depression. The reason is in part because individuals become distracted by their feelings and a lower ability to reframe thoughts or experiences. It is also in part because. of bottling up emotions. “Suppression is not considered a successful emotional regulation strategy because when you try not to think of something you think of it all the time," said Vogt.
While Vogt said the study cannot prove that valuing happiness too much causes symptoms of depression, she said it was highly possible. She also noted that in Russia and east Asian countries the opposite trend had been found.
However, the study has limitations - including that it mainly involved women and did not account for the health or socioeconomic status or participants, although all were young and at university.
28. What did the study find
A. If you value happiness, you won't get upset.
B. The goal of happiness leads to depression.
C. Negative :emotions affects one's happiness.
D. Female college students are easier to become depressed.
29. What are the reasons causing depression in people according to the passage EXCEPT
A. They are distracted by their feelings. B. They fail to adjust their thought.
C. They welcome every kind of emotions. D. They think about happiness all the time.
30. What does the underlined word “suppression” mean
A. expression B. hiding C. value D. happiness
31. What is the author's attitude towards the study
A. objective B. indifferent C. supportive D. critical
D
About 450 million years ago, animals made one of the most important decisions in Earth's history: They left the wet sea and started living on the dry land. At that moment, humanity's problems with superbugs (超级细菌) probably began. Scientists at the Broad Institute have found evidence that an important group of antibiotic-resistant (耐药性) bacteria are as old as animals themselves.“These bugs likely lived in the very first creatures that were out of the sea and came onto land,” says Ashlee Earl, who co-led the study.
During that time, these superbugs seem to have picked up characteristics that .helped them live in hospitals and even the most common antibiotics, like penicillin. “These bugs became part of these creatures' stomach bacteria," Earl adds. The superbug we're talking is a little guy called Enterococci. And it's the godfather of superbugs. Today Enterococci bacteria have become. a: major source of hospital infections. They, sicken nearly 70, 000 and. kill more than 1,000 each year in U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
“Why, out of the thousand species of bacteria that live in our stomach, have Enterococci become a superbug " Earl wondered. To figure it out, she sequenced(排序) the genomes of 24 species of Enterococci found in the stomach of all sorts of animals, from bees and pigeons to human and fish. When she looked at what those genes do, Earl quickly realized Enterococci’s secret weapon: “Basically, it's like the. bacteria put on a tough suit." Many of these special genes are involved in hardening the bacteria's cell wall.“They help make the bacteria able to withstand drying out and exposure to disinfectants(消毒剂)”
“Remember, these are bacteria that live in the stomach of animals, but. sometimes they are out in waste." When the waste happens in the ocean, the bacteria end up in an environment that's not too different than. an animal's stomach, wet and filled with nutrients. But when bacteria are. out onto; land, they find themselves in a much harder environment. They are exposed to U.V. light, starving and drying up. So, to survive, they needed to develop this tough suit.
32. What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A. Hospitals are fighting against superbugs fiercely.
B. It is possible that superbugs can be defeated in the near future.
C. Superbugs can be traced back to ancient land animals.
D. Humans have lived with superbugs for a long time.
33. What makes Enterococci not subject to disinfectants
A. the harsh environment B. the hard 'cell wall
C. the evolution of Enterococci D. the abundant nutrients
34. What can we learn from Enterococci when they lived in the sea
A. They had a comfortable life then. B. They tended to protect themselves from starving.
C. They developed a tough suit. D. They depended on the sea animals.
35. What is the purpose of writing this passage
A. To introduce the concept of superbugs. B. To explain the changing living environment.
C. To compare the gut bacteria with Enterococci. D. To inform the origination of-superbugs.

Amazing Train Journeys
The Beijing to Lhasa Express, China
Departs daily;Distance-2,330 miles;Duration-40 hours
Linking the royal wonders of Beijing with the dreamlike palaces of Lhasa, the Z21 train travels from the modernity of urban China to a once-remote land. Running westward, the train climbs nearly 16,400 ft (5,000 m) on its journey to the roof of the world: the Tibetan Plateau.
London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper, UK
Departs daily; Distance-509 miles; Duration-13 hours 30 minutes
This overnight train journey is filled with the romance of rail travel. It's just a pity that the whole experience-from dining-car chatting and light beer, to being carried into a la-la land by the rhythm of the rails and waking to bedside views of towering peaks-feels like it's over in a flash. Though it may be short, the Caledonian is surely Britain's best train ride.
Tazara Railway, Tanzania and Zambia
Departs twice a week;Distance-1,160 miles;Duration-46 hours
Few trains offer the chance of spotting big game from your seat, but the Tazara Railway does exactly that. For many, the highlight is neither the scenery nor the wildlife, though; it's the chance to spend two days watching everyday life out of the window, and enjoying the crowds and chaos when the train pulls to a stop.
Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway, Peru
Departs twice a week; Distance-241 miles;Duration-10 hours
Traveling across the Altiplano, from the shores of Lake Titicaca to the beating heart of the Inca capital, the railway from Puno to Cuzco cuts a picturesque path through the snow-dusted peaks and fantastic valleys of the Andes. Passengers can enjoy the landscape from an open-air observatory car, as they travel through remote towns and villages.
1.What do the first two train journeys have in common
A. They make weekly departure.
B.They are over a thousand miles.
C.They travel to highlands.
D.They are the longest train rides nationwide.
2.On which journey can passengers watch people's daily life outside the train
A.Tazara Railway.
B.The Beijing to Lhasa Express.
C.Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway.
D.London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper.
3. What can passengers do on Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway

A hungry badger（獾） searching for food seems to have uncovered what turned out to be hundreds of Roman coins in a Spanish cave, according to a new study.
Archaeologists（考古学家）first discovered several coins laying on the ground at the entrance to a small cave in the woodlands outside Grado in northern Spain in April 2021. The researchers suspect that the coins were unearthed by a badger from a nearby den （兽窝） after a heavy snow which made it harder for animals to find food. The hungry badger probably got into the cave looking for food but came across the coins instead.
After fully exploring the cave, researchers collected 209 coins dating to between the third and fifth centuries A. D. “To date, this is the largest amount of Roman coins found in a cave in northern Spain,” the researchers wrote in their paper. They described the discovery as an “exceptional find”.
In the late 1930s, a collection of 14 gold Roman coins, known as the Chapipi treasure, was also found in the same woodlands. The researchers believe that local people may have buried their coins to keep them safe during a period of intense political instability in the region. The most recent coin in the newly-discovered Grado collection dates to A.D.430,which was after the Suebi-a group of Germanic people originally from modern-day Germany and the Czech Republic-pushed the Romans out of Spain in A. D. 409, according to El Pais.
The researchers suspect that the newly-discovered coins are part of a vaster treasure and will return to the cave for further exploration to look for more coins and evidence that the cave may also have been the home of displaced Roman people. “We want to know if it was a one-off hiding place, or if there was a group of humans living there,” lead researcher Alfonso Fanjul Peraza told El Pais.
4.Where did the researchers find the first few coins in 2021
A.Near a Spanish cave. B. On a Spanish playground.
C.At the entrance to a woodland. D.In a badger's den.
5.What do the researchers think of the discovery in 2021
A.It's dangerous. B.It's timely.
C.It's meaningless. D.It's unusual.
6. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 4
A.The Romans. B.The coins.
C.The woodlands. D.The researchers.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.More information may be revealed by the coins.
B.The ancient Roman people had a unique lifestyle.
C.The researchers doubt the former guess of the coins.
D.The researchers will return the coins to the Roman people.
C
It's an attractive idea: by playing online problem-solving, matching and other games for a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal skills（语言能力）and memory. But whether these games deliver on those promises is up for debate. “For every study that finds some evidence, there's an equal number of papers that find no evidence，” says Bobby Stojanoski， a cognitive（认知 的）psychologist at Western University in Ontario.
Recently, in perhaps the biggest real-world study of these programs, Stojanoski and his team found 8,563 volunteers. First, participants filled out an online questionnaire about their training habits and which, if any, program they used. Some 1,009 participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months on average, though durations ranged from two weeks to more than five years. Next, the volunteers completed12 cognitive tests assessing memory, reasoning and verbal skills. They faced memory exercises, spatial reasoning tasks, pattern-finding puzzles and strategy challenges.
When researchers looked at the results, they saw that brain trainers on average had no mental edge over the other group in memory, verbal skills and reasoning. Even among those who had used training programs for at least 18 months, brain training didn't boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didn't use the programs.
“No matter how we sliced the data, we were unable to find any testimony that brain training was associated with cognitive abilities,” says Stojanoski. That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age, program used, education or socioeconomic status（地位）-all were cognitively similar to the group who didn’t use the programs.
“Brain training may be beneficial in specific situations, but real world may be the best brain trainer,” says Elizabeth Stine-Morrow, a cognitive aging scientist at the University of Illinois. While it's possible to improve mental abilities, Stine-Morrow advocates practicing those skills in different real-life situations, “That's a much better use of one's time than sitting at a computer and doing little tasks.”
8. What is the recent study mainly about
A.The importance of memory. B. The dark side of online games.
C.The effect of brain training games. D.The way to improve mental abilities.
9.What were the volunteers asked to do in the first part of the study
A.Report their daily habits. B.Take some memory tests.
C.Receive some online training. D.Complete a questionnaire.
10. What does the underlined word “testimony” mean in Paragraph 4
A.Enhancement. B.Evidence. C.Solution. D.Trouble.
11.What does Stine-Morrow say about mental abilities
A.They need to be trained regularly.
B. They'll be harmed by using computers.
C.They may change in different situations.
D. They'll be improved through real-life tasks.
D
To tackle the problem of tiny plastics polluting waterways, chemists in the Czech Republic are thinking small. Their brainchild is a new microrobot which is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down.
Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University led the project. A decade ago, he chose to focus on the problem posed by microplastics. They're everywhere-from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They've turned up in drinking water. Some studies estimate that billions of pieces of plastic end up in the world's waters. The plastic has many sources, from shopping bags to washing and cleaning wipes.
In lab experiments, the star-shaped swimmers stuck onto each of four different types of plastic. And after a week exposed to light, the robots had reduced the weight of the plastics. It wasn't much-only by percent. But that was an indication that they were breaking the plastic down. They also caused the surface of the plastic to change from smooth to rough. That's another sign that the robots were degrading （分解）it. The new study is a proof of concept type. That means it shows something can be done successfully.
In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. There are many types of plastics. And even these microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading them all. The researchers also have not yet shown how safe this system is for the environment, although Pumera says that's their next goal. The first real-world test will be in a wastewater-treatment plant. “Indeed,” says one researcher. “We’ll need a lot of testing to show that they're safe in open waterways, such as at sea.”
12. The microrobots are powered by
A.water B.sunlight C.plastics D.pencils
13.What does the author focus on in Paragraph 2
A. The purpose of Pumera's project.
B.The preciousness of drinking water.
C.The seriousness of plastic pollution.
D.The working principle of the microrobots.
14.What shows the effectiveness of the microrobots in lab experiments
A.The weight loss of the plastics.
B.The disappearance of the plastics.
C.The shape change of the microrobots.
D.The improvement in the purity of water.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Ways to Obtain Cleaner Drinking Water
B.Microrobots Invented to Treat Wastewater
C.New Hope for the Solution to Plastic Pollution
D.Technology Widely Applied in Environment Protection

True, people remember what you wear. After a social event, we all remember the woman in red, or the man with the top hat. On the red carpet, Hollywood hopefuls take advantage of this reality by wearing outfits designed to be discussed and displayed on the front pages of newspapers. But in terms of making a good impression, being memorable is not just about novelty or fashion, but attraction, both physical and emotional, often in opposite order of importance.
In a 2020 study, Andre Ndobo found people tended to remember the extremes: both attractive and unattractive faces. He acknowledged that one suggested explanation was that "both are characterized by distinctive features that promote facial recognitionwhen compared with faces of average attractiveness. But while distinctiveness is memorable, beauty is skin deep. Accordingly, the way you are remembered by others is often not about what you wear and how you look but about the way you make people feel.
Professional interaction can create positive personal memories. Adrie A. Koehler, in a piece entitled "In the Eye of the Beholder" (2017) , found that when asked to recall their best learning experience, many students discussed a memorable teacher. What made the teachers memorable According to the students, memorable qualities included not only teaching styles, but also interpersonal skills and positive qualities such as a sense of humor.
We can relate to the results of this study when recalling people who are memorable in our own lives. They are not always people who we believed to be the smartest or most believed, but often those who made us feel the most comfortable, and who were most interested in us. Sincere interest is uniquely attractive. Not only will you remember what someone said, but they will also remember you, fondly.
Regardless of what we wear or how we look, we are always naturally more appealing and approachable when we focus on others and when we are genuine rather than simply sociable. Remember that, and others will remember you.
4.The Hollywood hopefuls are mentioned to show .
the competition on the red carpet B. people's attempt to be remembered
C. people's wrong belief about impression D. the importance of clothing in one's success
5.Why is an unattractive face remembered according to Andre Ndobo
It creates positive memories. B. There's something special with it.
C. It makes people feel uncomfortable. D. People often try hard to avoid seeing it.
6.What can we infer from the text
Smart people are especially attractive.
Teaching styles impress students most.
The best learning experience is hard to gain.
Sincere attention is useful in communication.
7.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. You Are What You Wear B. Mind the Impression You Make
C. How Can We Improve Our Self-image D. What do People Remember about You

The over 48,000 orange trees that are distributed at all corners of Seville, Spain, not only fill the city's air with the pleasant smell of their flowers in spring, they also produce over 16, 500 tons of fruit every winter. Though that makes the city Europe's top orange-producing city, the fruit is too sour to be consumed fresh. While some of the produce is used to make orange juice, most of it ends up in Seville's landfills. However, that may change soon thanks to a creative idea to use the oranges to produce clean energy.
In the pilot program, juice from 38. 6 tons of oranges will be left to ferment （发酵）in an existing biogas facility. The juice is fructose （果糖）made up of very short carbon chains, and the energetic performance of these carbon chains during the fermentation process is particularly high. The gas released from the fermented liquid will be used to drive a generator to produce clean power. The officials estimate the test run will generate about 1,500 kWh of energy—enough to run a water purification plant. "It's not just about saving money. The oranges are a problem for the city, and we're producing added value from waste,M said Benigno Lopez, the head of Emasesa's environmental department.
If successful, by 2023, the city hopes to recycle all the oranges and add the electricity generated back to its grid （电网）.In trial runs, 1,000 kilos （2,200 pounds） of oranges produced 50 kWh of clean energy一enough to meet the daily electricity needs of five homes. The project team estimates that if all the fruit is recycled, it will produce enough energy to power as many as 73,000 residences.
The latest effort is among the many programs implemented in Spain to achieve the country's goal of switching its electricity system to renewable sources by 2050一and if everything goes according to plan, fully decarbonizing its economy shortly after that.
8.What problem does Seville face
A. It is short of energy. B. Most oranges are wasted.
C. Fruit production is falling. D. Trees take up much space.
9.What's the final product of the fermentation process
A. Fructose. B. Carbon chains. C. Clean power. D. Gas.
10.What does the underlined word "implemented" in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Conducted. B. Assumed. C. Popularized. D. Completed.
11.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text
A. To prove a theory. B. To raise a problem.
C. To introduce a project. D. To comment on an idea.

In a new study, shark researchers working off the eastern coast of New Zealand have found that three species of deep-sea shark are bioluminescent （生物性发光的），producing a soft blue-green light with specialized cells in their skin.
One of the species, the kitefin shark, grows to a length of nearly six feet, making it the largest known bioluminescent animal. The other two species are somewhat smaller than the kitefin, and all are occasionally caught as unintended by-catch by fishers. None are considered in danger of extinction, but little is known about their lifestyles and biology.
Bioluminescence had previously been documented in only around a dozen shark species, so this discovery significantly adds to our knowledge,,, says Jerome Mallefet, lead author of the new study.
In the deep sea, where scientists estimate three-quarters of all creatures are bioluminescent, having the ability to create light can be extremely advantageous. In the depths of the ocean, which receives minimal amounts of sunlight, bioluminescent animals can hide themselves from enemies by producing enough light to match their surroundings. All three species examined in this study have large concentrations of photocytes （发光细 胞）on their undersides, which suggests that these sharks may hide from enemies in just this way.
"The discovery that these three species produce light is not surprising,w says David Ebert, director of the Pacific Shark Research Center. That's because researchers think many more species of sharks are likely capable of producing light一Mallefet estimates that perhaps 10 percent of the 540 known species of sharks are bioluminescent. But Ebert thinks even this is far from the truth. "As the deep-sea shark research advances, that number will go even higher," he says.
Both Ebert and Mallefet hope that more attention will be paid to deep-sea sharks in the future, as the creatures and their habitat are understudied and under threat. "A lot of people know that sharks can bite," says Mallefet, "but few people know that they can produce light in the dark. ”
12.What do we know about the bioluminescent shark species
They were quite difficult to catch,
They preferred to live in the dark.
They were considered to be endangered.
They were little known about before the study.
13.What does the fourth paragraph focus on
A. The function of bioluminescence. B. The significance of the discovery.
C. The terrible surroundings in the sea. D. The usual activities of sea creatures.
14.What does Ebert think of Mallefet's guess at the number of bioluminescent sharks
A. Agreeable. B. Scientific. C. Inaccurate. D. Inspirational.
15.What is Ebert and Mallefet^ common wish
More people will study sharks.
Deep-sea sharks will grow in number.
Deep-sea sharks will receive more attention.
More bioluminescent animals will be found.

I come from a broken family, experiencing my parents' divorce and remarriages. After we grew up, my three siblings and I could go years without speaking. And that is where this story begins.
My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19, I couldn't wait to move away from our home in Wisconsin to live on a farm in Virginia, where I worked as a vet assistant. Jeanne got married at 18, moved to Chicago, and became - well, I didn't know what. We lived separate lives in separate states, and our connection somewhat ended.
When I was 24, I was on a trip to New York City for sightseeing one day, I was crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I had laughed at something and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!" I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up instantly in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled before even turning to look.“Jeanne ”
It was her.“Oh my God!" I screamed, and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to pert. We must have seemed crazy. And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, facing each other and smiling. I couldn't believe it.
I later asked how she'd known it was me - she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn't say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it's infectious. It hits your heart and resonates in your mind.
Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. I see our sister-to-sister miracle as a lesson, a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. It is too easy to remain lost.
24. Why Jeanne and Cheryl were separated

B. Because they wanted to escape from the family.
C. Because they were not willing to keep in touch.

I used to think that the most effective way to resist depression (抑郁) was to have my heart set on happiness. If you valued happiness instead of sorrow as your goal, I thought, one would not suffer from depression.
However, a study, carried out among students living in the UK, found those who said they valued happiness extremely highly tended to show greater signs of depression.
Vogt and colleagues presented 151 students, the majority of them female, with a series of online questionnaires, These examined attitudes from how much they valued happiness to how much their emotions affected them, how easy they found it to put aside emotions, and their levels of depression-related symptoms.
The results, published in the Journal of Happiness Studies, reveal that those who valued happiness more had higher scores for symptoms of depression. The reason is in part because individuals become distracted by their feelings and a lower ability to reframe thoughts or experiences. It is also in part because. of bottling up emotions. “Suppression is not considered a successful emotional regulation strategy because when you try not to think of something you think of it all the time," said Vogt.
While Vogt said the study cannot prove that valuing happiness too much causes symptoms of depression, she said it was highly possible. She also noted that in Russia and east Asian countries the opposite trend had been found.
However, the study has limitations - including that it mainly involved women and did not account for the health or socioeconomic status or participants, although all were young and at university.
28. What did the study find
A. If you value happiness, you won't get upset.
B. The goal of happiness leads to depression.
C. Negative :emotions affects one's happiness.
D. Female college students are easier to become depressed.
29. What are the reasons causing depression in people according to the passage EXCEPT
A. They are distracted by their feelings. B. They fail to adjust their thought.
C. They welcome every kind of emotions. D. They think about happiness all the time.
30. What does the underlined word “suppression” mean
A. expression B. hiding C. value D. happiness
31. What is the author's attitude towards the study
A. objective B. indifferent C. supportive D. critical

About 450 million years ago, animals made one of the most important decisions in Earth's history: They left the wet sea and started living on the dry land. At that moment, humanity's problems with superbugs (超级细菌) probably began. Scientists at the Broad Institute have found evidence that an important group of antibiotic-resistant (耐药性) bacteria are as old as animals themselves.“These bugs likely lived in the very first creatures that were out of the sea and came onto land,” says Ashlee Earl, who co-led the study.
During that time, these superbugs seem to have picked up characteristics that .helped them live in hospitals and even the most common antibiotics, like penicillin. “These bugs became part of these creatures' stomach bacteria," Earl adds. The superbug we're talking is a little guy called Enterococci. And it's the godfather of superbugs. Today Enterococci bacteria have become. a: major source of hospital infections. They, sicken nearly 70, 000 and. kill more than 1,000 each year in U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
“Why, out of the thousand species of bacteria that live in our stomach, have Enterococci become a superbug " Earl wondered. To figure it out, she sequenced(排序) the genomes of 24 species of Enterococci found in the stomach of all sorts of animals, from bees and pigeons to human and fish. When she looked at what those genes do, Earl quickly realized Enterococci’s secret weapon: “Basically, it's like the. bacteria put on a tough suit." Many of these special genes are involved in hardening the bacteria's cell wall.“They help make the bacteria able to withstand drying out and exposure to disinfectants(消毒剂)”

But when bacteria are. out onto; land, they find themselves in a much harder environment. They are exposed to U.V. light, starving and drying up. So, to survive, they needed to develop this tough suit.
